As Ming Dynasty suddenly made these two demands to Beiqing, the flavor of the negotiations suddenly changed.
Moreover, just as the Ming Dynasty's decision-makers expected, this issue suddenly flew from the negotiation table to the whole world, attracting the attention of the whole world. Because of the silence on the front lines for many days, the focus of the world's attention has somewhat shifted back from the Ming and Qing wars.
Spanish battlefield, but now with the raising of this issue, the issue of Ming and Qing Dynasties has become the focus of the world again.
The Ming Dynasty immediately won applause from all over the world, and the Northern Qing Dynasty immediately felt unprecedented pressure. The two demands of the Southern Ming Dynasty did not involve "real" issues such as military, land, compensation, etc., but for the Northern Qing Dynasty, they
It would be better for Nanming to make land demands, military demands, and compensation demands. Now these two moral demands make Beiqing even more miserable than losing the Central Plains War.
In Nanming, voices supporting the government troops have once again aroused. Many writers, political commentators, and opinion leaders who have always disliked the government's launch of war and always found fault with the government have stopped calling out.
Many people even changed their attitudes and began to support the government's Northern Expedition. The centripetal force of the people's hearts has greatly increased, and the patriotic enthusiasm among the people has also increased unprecedentedly.
Internationally, although the official positions of various countries have not yet expressed their stance, there has been an outpouring of support from the people. Beiqing, the capital of the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Canada, Australia, etc.
In front of the embassy, there were more or less public gatherings, holding various signs and slogans, calling on the Northern Qing government to accept these two demands of the Southern Ming.
But in the Soviet Union, Germany, Italy, Austria, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Portugal, Argentina, Cuba, Paraguay... and other countries that are more or less in turmoil, the situation is peaceful and harmonious, and the common people
Sitting next to the radio, listening to the news selected by the government to allow them to listen, and then go to sleep in either satisfaction or dissatisfaction.
It is even more peaceful in Beiqing. The people do not feel that there is any difference between today and today one month ago, one year ago, or ten years ago. They are still sleeping.
…
The Foreign Minister of the Northern Qing Dynasty immediately issued a statement, declaring to the world: This is the core interest of the Qing Dynasty, and it is also the Qing Dynasty’s own business. How a country runs a newspaper and how many newspapers it runs is like how many children a family has.
It’s the same as what to name a child. It should be natural that this family has the final say, and it’s not up to other families.
Pointing fingers. Therefore, neither Nan Ming nor other countries have the right to interfere. Nan Ming raised the so-called "media issues" and "road issues" at this time, which is nothing more than an attempt to put pressure on the negotiating table and force
The Qing Dynasty only made concessions on other issues so that it could obtain greater benefits.
The Foreign Minister went on to say that the two unreasonable demands put forward by Nan Ming were completely baseless and untenable. Nan Ming's high-sounding reason for asking the Qing Dynasty to allow individuals to run newspapers was simply that the "Qing Daily" could be run.
It’s just not good enough. But is it?
"Da Qing Daily" is an extremely excellent newspaper. First of all, Da Qing Daily is the largest newspaper in the world, with the largest number of personnel in the world, the most generous funding in the world, and the strongest interviewing and writing capabilities in the world.
It also has the most content among newspapers in the world. All this shows that "Da Qing Daily" is the best newspaper in the world, which is beyond the reach of all newspapers in the world. As the best newspaper in the world,
At this time, it is understandable that the whole world is jealous and wants to set up one or several so-called "competitors" for it.
On the contrary, the so-called "open newspapers" in Nanming and European and American countries contain a large number of commercial advertisements. Do readers spend money to buy newspapers to sell advertisements? "Da Qing Daily" has never had advertisements. This fully shows that Nanming newspapers , and European and American newspapers are completely supported by consortiums and bosses, while "Da Qing Daily" is completely independent. Nanming newspapers are filled with articles every day that various domestic forces abuse and attack each other. What's more, they are openly satirical. They ridiculed the court officials, and some even pointed the finger at the royal family. Is this kind of newspaper that is afraid of chaos in the world what the people of the Qing Dynasty want to see? The content of "Qing Daily" is full of peace, friendship, and wise kings and wise ministers. Compared with the chaos of Nanming's newspapers, newspapers are quarreling over each other and deciding which is better and which is worse. Nanming's current mentality of "if you are not good, don't let others be good, and bring trouble to others", it can be said that it is obvious. If exposed!
As for the "road issue", the Foreign Minister of the Northern Qing Dynasty said that it was just a means to maintain domestic security and reduce crime. It was not Nanming's turn to control how the citizens of the Qing Dynasty traveled. What's more, the current situation of the Qing Dynasty The road system is also very superior. For example, if a person kills someone in his own village, he can escape immediately in Nanming. And it will be difficult to catch him again in the future. But in the Qing Dynasty, if there are no roads, he cannot escape. Could it be that Is Nanming’s system that encourages murderers to escape also a praise system? Nanming’s self-announced criminal case detection rate is only about 35% every year, and sometimes it is less than 30%. This shows that the people of Nanming have been living in fear for a long time. And in the Qing Dynasty, The detection rate of criminal cases in the Qing Dynasty was as high as 99.95%, and in many years it was as high as 100%. The people of the Qing Dynasty were full of a sense of security. The two sets of figures immediately illustrated the nature of the problem.
To sum up, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Northern Qing Dynasty said sternly that if Nan Ming wants to truly win respect internationally, it should at least get rid of this irresponsible habit of speaking in the future. In this regard, the Qing Dynasty has a lot to learn from Nan Ming place.
…
In Nanjing, Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at the "Da Qing Daily" in his hand, looking at the speech of the Foreign Minister published in full on the front page, smiling and shaking his head:
"Tsk, tsk, tsk...talent. Really talented... What is talent? This is talent... What is the most valuable thing in the 20th century? - Talent!... If one day, this writer can't work in "Qing Daily" If you go down, you can switch jobs and work for Pravda."
Yonggui sat on the other side of the negotiation table and said with a smile:
"My lord, you don't have to take it seriously... you just think it's fun, just watch it for fun. Alas, you also have to understand our emperor's difficulties. You have made such a big splash all over the world, and we have to make a gesture. Anyway, that's the case. It’s for our own people to see, whether it’s external or not, everyone knows what it is.”
Xiang Xiaoqiang also smiled and said:
"Haha, that's right... Sigh... Thinking about your poor people, I can't help but feel a sense of intellectual superiority. Hahaha."
"Ahem, sir."
Beside him, Xiuxiu touched him and reminded him in a low voice.
Xiang Xiaoqiang quickly stopped smiling, sighed, threw the newspaper on the table, and said lightly to Yonggui:
"Regarding these two items...can we understand that this is your final attitude?"
Yonggui smiled and said:
"Master Xiang, didn't you say that these things should be shown to the common people? We people should still discuss some real things. These frivolous things cannot be used as food or clothing. To be honest, even if we agree to you
Can you get any benefit from these two items? Will we, the people of Beiqing, be able to grow a few more kilograms of crops in the fields?
What's the matter? Let me tell you, even if you ask our people now with these two things, they may not want to see you. At most, we can learn from Britain and the United States and hold a referendum to ask the people whether they are willing to accept you.
What about these two items, or do each family want two kilograms of white flour? Think about what the result will be? Then you will have nothing to say, right?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and said:
"Okay, let's go and vote. Let's not talk about the first article. Let's talk about the second article, 'free movement'. Do you dare to vote?"
Yonggui said with a smile:
"Haha, Mr. Xiang, why don't you dare? From 51% to 100%, you can choose whatever you want. We can vote for you as much as you want."
Xiang Xiaoqiang laughed and said nothing.
Yonggui smiled and said:
"Sir Xiang, I understand your thoughts. Don't you just want to make a high profile like this, and then the United States will be willing to support you and then approve you to buy military vehicles? Haha, Sir Xiang, don't you just have the support of an actor now?
You guys? Even the President of the United States doesn’t dare to make the decision to support you. How meaningful do you think it is for an actor to support you?... Alas, the old German
It seems that the world economy is controlled by a group of Jews. What about the Jews in the United States? They are the first ones to attack you. Does the Ford Foundation support you alone, does the Rothschild Jewish Foundation support you? Now
They have even ignored the president, so what if an actor supports you? Is there an influential Jew who supports you?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang sneered, thinking about what to say.
"Yes," he said, "although not yet..."
"Report!"
Hu Jiong came in, approached Xiang Xiaoqiang, and handed him a telegraph newspaper.
Xiang Xiaoqiang lowered his head and glanced at it for a few times, and his chest began to beat with excitement.
But his face was calm, he just smiled and put the telegraph newspaper on the table and flicked it to Yong Gui opposite.
Yonggui took it suspiciously, lowered his head and said:
“…Professor Albert Einstein of Princeton University in the United States…calls on the U.S. Congress in his own name to support Ming Dynasty on the arms purchase issue…and calls on fellow Jews in the United States to stand on the side of justice and conscience…”
He raised his head and looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang in disbelief.
It took him a long time before he said one sentence:
"...how...love...Einstein is also a Jew?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled happily:
"How can that be possible? They are obviously Jurchens."
…
That night, Yonggui sent several telegrams to Beijing, and then at almost ten o'clock, he told the maid at the door that he wanted to see Princess Liaoyang.
The maid led him downstairs where Princess Liaoyang lived, and first asked him to sit downstairs in the living room, and then immediately went to report to Xiang Xiaoqiang. Xiang Xiaoqiang heard that Yonggui asked to see Shi Shigege, hesitated for a while, and ordered:
"Ask Princess Liaoyang if she would like to see him."
The maid ran back to the small building of Shishi Gege, but she didn't know that Yonggui had already gone up. Several maids at Shifuge Gege said that it was Shifuge Gege who heard about Yonggui's request for an audience and directly announced him.
When Xiang Xiaoqiang learned about this situation, he didn't want to interfere any more. He wondered what Yonggui wanted to do and what he wanted to say to Shi Shigege alone. However, the person Yonggui asked to see was Shiba Gege, and Shiba Gege had already
Yonggui called over, it was really not easy for him to interfere anymore.
He just ordered fourteen bodyguards to closely guard the safety of the princess to prevent Yonggui from harming the princess.
…
"Grog!"
As soon as Fourteen Princesses retreated, Yonggui knelt down and said with a cry:
"Gege, even if you sever ties with the Qing Dynasty and no longer think about the Qing Dynasty, you still have to think about yourself!"
