Chapter 239: Six-Party Consultation Conference Six
But is all this really such a coincidence? Of course it is not a coincidence, because all of this was caused by Li Ningyu teaching Duan Tong behind his back, but no one would have thought that Duan Tong, a great fortune, would actually help Li Ningyu hook up with girls.
However, none of this can be hidden from the experienced Zhao Sanduo, but he also really wants to be Li Ningyu's father-in-law, so Zhao Duoduo, the little white rabbit, is probably the only one hiding everything.
The next day, when the election meeting for the new cabinet prime minister was held in Taiwan, Beijing also started the second day of the Six-Party Consultative Conference. The matters originally planned to discuss other issues were interrupted because the Yankees urgently needed to replace France.
Therefore, they are determined to win the French Concession in Guangzhou, the French Concession in Shanghai, the French Concession in Hankou, and the French Concession in Tianjin.
In order to solve this problem, the American representatives were Minister Smith and Commodore George, commander of the U.S. Asia Fleet. They met with many late Qing ministers overnight, and finally raised the price of the leased land to 60 million US dollars. After knowing this price, the people in the Forbidden City
Empress Dowager Cixi agreed on the spot.
Subsequently, regarding the issue of the lease, Far East representatives Bismarck and Huang Song did not speak, neither opposed nor supported it. Germany, like the Far East, seemed to be watching the United Kingdom and the United States play a double act, and in the end it was late.
Qing government representative Li Hongzhang and American Minister Smith signed an agreement.
After seeing such a scene, Huang Song couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It seems that the late Qing Dynasty is bound to fall. To sell the four concessions for such a small amount of money is not to drive away a wolf and summon another one."
Tiger?".
Next, the Far East naturally proposed the Guangzhou Bay and Luda areas again. In fact, the late Qing government would not refuse any proposal from the Far East, so only Britain, the United States and Tsarist Russia desperately opposed it. However, in the end, Bismarck gave Britain and the United States to
He pushed back because Bismarck said: "In fact, there are concessions in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Hankou, and Tianjin. The Far East can offer higher prices because the Far East is not short of money!".
After all, Bismarck was once the famous iron-blooded prime minister of Europe. He was so precise that he almost laughed out loud when he heard the German Minister Morini. In the end, the United Kingdom and the United States had no choice but to keep their mouths shut. However, Yurinov, the Russian Minister representing Tsarist Russia,
However, he raised strong protests in the Luda area and talked about the issue of the China-Eastern Railway.
In this regard, Bismarck had already received the latest instructions from Li Ningyu, and then Huang Song said to the Russian Minister Yurinovsky: "No problem, this money has been sent to the Far East, you can just deduct it from the war reparations!
”.
Suddenly the Russian Minister Yurinovsky was speechless. In the end, two agreements were signed in the morning. However, the Far East did not sign any agreement with the late Qing government because the Far East only obtained the Luda area and Guangzhou from Tsarist Russia and France.
Bay, although in the end he indirectly accepted the cession of territory by the late Qing Dynasty, which went against Li Ningyu's original intention, he was really helpless, because if the Far East did not take action, these two places would definitely fall into the hands of other countries.
And just in the morning of that day, Li Ningyu successfully held an important meeting in Taiwan. Taiwan's new cabinet members, and the Far East Cabinet also added one person, that is, Taiwan's second prime minister, the original education, science
, Minister of Technology Chen Shaobai.
Former Prime Minister Sun Zhongshan, as well as Minister of Land Resources and Construction: Zheng Shiliang, Minister of Transportation and Water Resources: Yang Quyun, Minister of Taxation, Administration, Customs, and Industry and Commerce: Zhu Guiquan, the three of them are also about to take up posts in South Asia, and the four vacant positions will start from
It turns out that deputies in major departments in Taiwan are elected, and this proposal immediately passed the parliament.
Everything seemed to be going very smoothly, and Li Ningyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But this time he didn't just end it like this, because he also had to go to a special department, that is, the Taiwan Independent Commission Against Corruption. This time he came to Taiwan.
, it is also necessary to select a group of outstanding grassroots officials to go to various regions and sections. After being fully accepted, they will be appointed to serve in the main departments of each section.
However, Li Ningyu feels that character is the most important. Although not many people can achieve 100% in terms of talent, at least he cannot be a corrupt official, because if a corrupt official is allowed to pass, it will only have a bad effect.
There will be no benefit at all from vigorously developing this area in the future.
In terms of the administrative division of Taiwan, Taiwan Province consists of five major cities: Taipei, Hsinchu, Taichung, Chiayi, Tainan, Keelung, Yilan, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Miaoli, Taichung, Changhua, Nantou, Yunlin, Chiayi, Tainan, Kaohsiung, and Ping
There are sixteen counties in the east, Taitung, Hualien, and Penghu, and Taipei City is designated as the provincial capital.
Therefore, the task of redeploying hundreds of grassroots staff was not very easy. Fortunately, Jiang Zhongzheng and a few others helped. But at this time, Li Ningyu received an urgent telegram from Beijing and looked at it.
Li Ningyu fell into deep thought about the above content.
According to Bismarck's telegram, on the afternoon of the next day, the main topic was originally about the issues of Outer Northeast and Outer Mongolia, but another thing was mentioned in the middle, that is, Japanese prisoners of war, and something that Li Ningyu did not expect was,
Emperor Akechi of Japan was finally willing to pay 80 million Asian dollars to redeem these Japanese soldiers.
This surprised Li Ningyu, but in the face of so much money, Li Ningyu still did not agree, because although he had a lot of labor force that could be mobilized, he did not look at the little Japanese soldiers and worked hard to help the Far East with infrastructure construction.
It was very satisfying, so Far East flatly refused.
In fact, 80 million Asian dollars, equivalent to 30 million pounds, can be used to build eight Taishan-class battleships, which is equivalent to five years' salary of 400,000 builders. However, Li Ningyu refused to let go, and the United Kingdom and the United States did not give up at all.
Fa Zi, and at the same time, in their eyes, they couldn't understand Li Ningyu even more.
There may be some things that Li Ningyu can solve with money, but there are some things that only Li Ningyu and Peng De can have such a profound understanding of.
During the eight years of the War of Resistance, the land of China was devastated. The Japanese invaded aggressively and massacred innocent people. Rivers of blood flowed and corpses piled high. The number of dead soldiers and civilians exceeded 35 million. Can the Japanese invaders afford compensation?
The eight-year war of resistance caused direct economic losses to China of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars and indirect economic losses of more than 500 billion U.S. dollars. Can the Japanese devils afford compensation?
If Li Ningyu hadn't commanded the Far East Navy Fleet and defeated the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, would everything like today have happened again?
So Li Ningyu flatly refused, notified Bismarck, and told American Minister Smith, who was negotiating on behalf of Japan, that the Far East could release prisoners of war from any country, but Japan would never be able to do so.
Forgive their sins, and their sons, grandsons, grandson’s sons, grandson’s grandsons… will continue to forgive their sins.
