Li Zhen, Mu Zhongyuan, Huan Xiaolang and Bennett left Hong Kong and entered Guangdong. After walking for less than an hour, an army came up. This army was led by Qi Zhenhai. Liu Jintang and Chen Yucheng stood out. While in the queue, Li Zhen followed Mu Zhongyuan and others to Hong Kong. Qi Zhenhai asked all the soldiers to get ready.
As long as anything unusual happened to Li Zhen in Hong Kong, he would immediately lead troops into Hong Kong to rescue people. Fortunately, everything went smoothly and Li Zhen returned safely. Qi Zhenhai, wearing a military uniform, ran to Li Zhen, raised his hand in salute, and said loudly: " Great President."
There was a smile on his face, and his excitement was palpable.
"The Great President."
"The Great President."
Liu Jintang and Chen Yucheng also ran over quickly and saluted one by one.
Many of the doctors who accompanied him knew Li Zhen, but only a few doctors and his entourage who did not know Li Zhen were surprised. However, the most surprised person was Bennett. He stared at Li Zhen blankly, and the expression on his face changed. After a while, He was surprised, sometimes excited, sometimes annoyed, all reflected the emotions in his heart.
Bennett frowned, wondering why Li Zhen wanted to go to Hong Kong disguised as a doctor, and asked: "Dr. Li, you are the president of China, why did you go to Hong Kong disguised as a doctor?"
Li Zhen smiled and said: "You can't meet Dr. Nebet until you go to Hong Kong."
Bennett smiled slightly, knowing that this was Li Zhen's remark to change the subject, but he still said happily: "I should be the first person to make a bet with President Li, and I am even more honored to be invited by President Li. "
The group paused for a moment and then continued on their way.
In mid-April, the team returned to Guangzhou, the army settled down, and all the doctors returned to the hospital. Bennett was a doctor invited by Li Zhen. He has superb medical skills and strong theoretical skills. In addition, the hospital's director Bo Jia also Knowing Bennett's ability, he directly arranged an important position and made Bennett the main physician of the hospital.
Governor's residence, study room.
Li Zhen and Governor Wang Xiaoyang sat opposite each other, both of them looking serious.
Li Zhen said solemnly: "Overall, this trip to Hong Kong has been very fruitful. The people of Hong Kong did not reject us because the Manchu government did not care about their lives. They still wanted to take back Hong Kong. It must be completed in the shortest time. Brother-in-law, I will leave this matter to you. Immediately form a negotiation team and summon the British Minister to China to discuss the matter of taking back Hong Kong."
"Okay." Wang Xiaoyang nodded and replied.
After a pause, Wang Xiaoyang continued: "President, it has been half a month since the French envoy arrived in Guangzhou. He wants to see you so as not to solve the problem of Captain Ajid, Christian and the other captured French soldiers. , because you went to Hong Kong, I pretended that you had something to do and asked him to wait. It has been half a month now, and I guess the French envoy Frankfurt is getting impatient."
Li Zhen nodded and said, "In that case, let's meet."
Immediately, Wang Xiaoyang got up and went to make arrangements.
Half an hour later, in the living room.
Li Zhen sat on the main seat, with the French minister sitting below him.
French envoy Frankfort looked sincere and said patiently: "President Li, Ajid, Christine and thousands of soldiers have been detained by your country for more than a month. The purpose of my coming is to ask President Lee frees everyone."
Li Zhen smiled sarcastically and said, "Your Excellency Lankfurt, do you know what crime they committed?"
Lankfur frowned, his expression solemn.
Speaking of which, Ajid and Christian really asked for it. If Ajid and Lankfur had not taken the initiative to lead troops to attack Li Zhen's fleet, there would not be the situation today. When I think of myself in front of Li Zhen, Unable to raise his head, Lan Kefu kept complaining in his heart, saying that he didn't have the ability to intercept and kill Li Zhen.
When something like this happens, the consequences are quite serious.
France is also at a disadvantage in negotiations with China.
Li Zhen knew that Lan Kefu was in the wrong and continued: "Captain Ajid and Christian led the army to intercept and kill me. If it were not for the protection of my soldiers, I would have been thrown into the sea to feed the fishes. Now, Lan Kefu Mr. Fu walked in arrogantly and asked me to release everyone. Does this make sense? Could it be that I, Li Zhen, should be killed?"
"No, that's not what I meant."
Frankfurt waved his hand quickly and said: "As long as President Lee releases all the soldiers, everything will be easy to talk about."
"Oh, that's pretty much it."
The anger on Li Zhen's face was slightly reduced, and his tense face had a hint of kindness.
Frankfurt took a deep breath and said seriously: "France is willing to compensate for this matter."
"How to compensate?" Li Zhen immediately asked.
"Report."
A loud voice came, and a guard from the governor's residence strode in. After saluting Li Zhen, he reported: "President, there is a Frenchman outside. He has urgent business to see the French envoy Frankfort."
Li Zhen frowned and said, "Please."
Everything has been reported to him and it is impossible not to see it.
Not long after, a Frenchman walked in, came to Lankfurt's side and spoke in a low voice. In an instant, Lankfurt's expression changed, and a hint of joy flashed in Lankfurt's eyes, but in an instant Just disappear.
After listening, Lankfurt stood up and said: "President Li, the embassy has urgent matters that I need to handle. Please forgive me." He bowed slightly to Li Zhen to apologize, then turned and left the governor's residence. Li Zhen looked at Looking at the departing people, with a sullen face and thunderous anger in his eyes, he began to discuss compensation with Lankfurt. As long as he had a little more time, the matter could be settled.
At the critical moment, everything was messed up due to the sudden report. After Wang Xiaoyang learned that Lankfurt had left, he walked in and asked: "President, how is the situation?"
"Snapped,."
Li Zhen slapped his hand on the desk, which startled Wang Xiaoyang.
"My conversation with Lankfurt already touched on the issue of compensation. At the critical moment, you, the guard of the governor's residence, rushed in and reported that someone wanted to see Lankfurt. Then, Lankfurt left directly after listening to the French. Tell me, what are the guards in the house for? You are reporting it at this time, don’t you know the importance of the matter?"
Li Zhen was very angry and shouted loudly: "It's okay to report the news to your own people, but it is unreasonable for a guard to pass the news to Frankfurt without going through the communication."
Li Zhen was about to get the price of compensation, but Frankfurt suddenly left.
For this reason, Li Zhen felt very uncomfortable.
Wang Xiaoyang said: "This is my fault. I ask the President to punish me."
Li Zhen snorted, waved his hand and said, "Go and take care of things in the house so that this kind of problem doesn't happen again."
Wang Xiaoyang agreed and immediately went to deal with what happened just now. Wang Xiaoyang didn't feel comfortable leaving this matter here. He didn't know which guard who didn't open his eyes reported the news.
When Wang Xiaoyang left, Li Zhen's thoughts flew to the reason why Lan Kefu left just now. What happened, so that Lan Kefu's eyes flashed with joy, and then he left in a hurry, even...
It is strange that Lankfurt did not consider the thousands of captured soldiers and Ajid, Christian and others.
