Of course Fales knew about the Tang Dynasty.
Hearing this, he was dumbfounded and asked Kaiyuan of the Tang Dynasty, "Why don't you say that you fought with the Yellow Emperor against Chiyou?"
He said angrily, "Based on national strength, our British Empire should be at the top."< /p>
Although it is just a small seat, once it is published in the newspaper, its meaning will expand infinitely.
People at this time attached great importance to newspapers.
Zhao Chuanxin said disdainfully, "Okay, let's compare our national strength. From now on, the land you split up for me will be called Zhao Chuanxin Concession. I make a country by myself, and the per capita GDP will not be counted for you." More, let’s calculate it at 5 million yuan. Which country among you can compare?”
Robbing the Japanese money, plus the compensation from various concessions, at the beginning of 1908, Zhao Chuanxin’s “production value” Even if it doesn't reach 5 million, it's still about the same.
How to compare
Zhao Chuanxin saw that Faleisi was speechless, so he pointed to the reporter, "Hey, what Hankou Chinese and Western Newspaper didn't take pictures of you waiting for the banquet to begin? "
The reporters were obedient, "click"
Reporters from various countries took pictures one after another, but the pictures were far less serious than those of Li Hongzhang
After taking the pictures, Zhao Chuan Xin picked up his own contract and left the venue.
At this time, French Consul General Du Lifang, who rushed to Shanghai from Shanghai, said, "Wait a minute."
Zhao Chuanxin paused, "But it doesn't matter."
Du Lifang said in French, "Mr. Zhao, I am Du Lifang, Consul General of France."
"Speak in human language"
The translator next to him hurriedly worked.
"Something's wrong"
Du Lifang said, "Mr. Zhao, please stay and continue discussing the French Concession."
Zhao Chuanxin glanced at Zhang Renjun cryptically. Zhang Renjun nodded.
He sat down again and asked, "Where's the money and the contract?"
"Mr. Zhao, please take a look." Du Lifang took out a map of the French Concession, "From the official land to the west, it is sixty feet away from the railway, which is one hundred feet." Eighty-five Maidang, adjacent to the German Concession on the north, from the line connecting Germany to the official land 60 feet away from the railway, and to the south from the border between Russia and France to the outside of the wall, 60 feet away from the railway It was established as a new French concession in 1902. The Qing Dynasty also donated 3 feet of the city wall foundation, 5 feet of official land inside the wall, 5 feet of official land outside the wall, and 6 feet of city moat, which were all included in the French concession. Concession. This part will be used as our reservation. We plan to set aside one-half of the old concession for you." Upon hearing this, Yuan Datou was really taken by Zhang Renjun, and Tsarist Russia bowed his head. , which really made other concessions anxious, and France was also preparing to follow suit and cede territory and pay compensation.
According to his thinking, this is enough. No matter how much land is cut or how much money is lost, he has earned enough face.
The expressions of the Japanese and British representatives changed drastically. Unexpectedly, they had agreed to form an alliance, but France suddenly turned against them.
Zhao Chuanxin couldn't help laughing and looked at Yuan Datou, "You are both generous and kind, rent one and get one free, right?"
Yuan Datou glanced elsewhere.
This has nothing to do with him.
I was just shocked that Zhang Renjun was right, Zhao Chuanxin was not as simple as it seemed.
Zhao Chuanxin took the opportunity to secretly glance at Zhang Renjun. When Zhang Renjun nodded slightly, he sneered and said, "What a coincidence, that's the land I want."
At this time , before Du Lifang said anything, Frangi, the Consul General of Belgium in Han, suddenly said, "No, absolutely not."
Zhao Chuanxin's face was full of question marks, "Who the hell are you talking about?" "
Franghi was a little annoyed, but he held it back and said in a deep voice, "I am the Consul General of Hankou, Belgium."
Zhao Chuanxin glanced at Zhang Renjun secretly, who had an expression on his face. There was no change, but Sheng Xuanhuai next to him shook his head slightly.
Zhao Chuanxin ""
I wipe it
The little demon in the temple is very popular, and I don’t know how many interests are involved.
Zhao Chuanxin asked Franji coldly, "Why do you refuse on behalf of the French Concession?"
Du Lifang glanced at Franji, and interjected with an unusually firm attitude, "It is indeed inappropriate." "
While Zhao Chuanxin was confused, someone came into the conference hall and said to Yuan Datou, "The Governor of Huguang, Zhao Erxun, is here."
Yuan Datou nodded. Mr. Zhao, please come in."
Zhao Chuanxin was stunned.
Isn’t that Zhao Erxun, Zhao Gongrang?
Zhao Erxun once went to the border to serve as General Shengjing. When he took office, Zhao Chuanxin was riding back to the border with a group of people from the insurance team. , happened to meet him face to face, and made the old boy very angry at that time.
I didn’t expect that a few years later I would come to Huguang to become the governor.
Sure enough, as soon as the dry little old man came in, he saw Zhao Chuanxin.
He recognized Zhao Chuanxin, but he was not as fearful as others. Instead, he snorted coldly.
Zhao Chuanxin said with a smile, "Look at how stingy you are. After all these years, you are still angry."
"" Zhao Erxun remembered the purpose of coming here and coughed. His eyes turned to Du Lifang, "I'm here today to ask you to return the road built across the border to Dazhimen Station in the French Concession and return it to the French Concession."
Sheng Xuanhuai smiled happily when he saw this.
The expressions of Frankie and Du Lifang changed slightly.
Zhao Chuanxin rubbed his chin.
Haha, he asked the great powers to cede territory and pay compensation, but now the negotiation table has become a battlefield for multi-party games, which is a bit interesting.
At this time, he has roughly figured out the situation.
France, Russia and Belgium are the largest borrowers behind the Beijing-Hankow Railway. The French Concession secretly built a road leading to Dazhimen Station. The purpose of Belgium and France was to control the right of road, so Frankie opened his mouth to stop Zhao Chuanxin from occupying this land.
Sheng Xuanhuai must have known about France's road construction outside the boundary in advance, and had communicated with Zhao Erxun in advance.
So, at critical moments, Zhao Erxun will appear, and his purpose is to remindThe importance of Zhao Chuanxin's land.
Zhao Chuanxin pretended to be savage and said, "Zhao Erxun advises you, old boy, not to be disrespectful. That piece of land is already in Zhao's pocket."
Although This was somewhat inconsistent with his plan, and he had become someone else's tiger skin to serve as a banner, but even so, the meat still had to be rotten in his own pot first.
Du Lifang must find a sense of presence. He said, "First of all, the British Concession built roads across the border on Taiping Road without any opposition; secondly, our French Concession built roads not for the purpose of building roads. In the final analysis, public security and road administration on the road are for the overall benefit and convenience of all parties. Finally, and most importantly, Article 6 of the signed terms of the Hankou Expansion of the French Concession stipulates that China should build a road from the railway station to the railway station. The road at the midpoint of the western boundary of the French Concession was used to facilitate the connection between the station and the Yangtze River. Like all the officials in the imperial court, they always dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I am willing to compensate for the various expenses incurred in building roads, maintaining security, lighting and road administration services, but the roads must be returned."
Du Lifang politely but firmly refused, "The treaty signed at the time made it very clear that both parties must exercise their rights within the road sections they built. Now that our French Concession has built the road, we have jurisdiction."
Although Zhao Chuanxin often acted like a child's play, in fact, during this period of history, none of the great powers were shameless and took advantage of others
This seemingly outrageous and ridiculous word game, they played There are too many.
Zhao Chuanxin knocked on the table, "Hey, hey, hey, whatever happened, that road will belong to me from now on, no need to argue. Du Lifang, I need your answer before noon, otherwise I will treat you as To declare war."
Not to be outdone, Du Lifang raised his nostrils to the sky and said, "In this case, the French Far East Fleet's Resolute and Entrecasteaux are coming from Jiujiang to Hankou. Please bear the consequences."< /p>
In history, Du Lifang used this method to threaten Zhao Erxun. The final result was that although the road was recovered, it was originally an illegally built road in France, but instead a high compensation fee was charged, with a total price of 16,900 taels. It is outrageous that the Qing government also paid 15,000 taels to the French Concession as compensation for its previous construction costs, and also promised to pay 200 taels to the concession every year as road maintenance funds.
As soon as Du Lifang said this, Frankie, Dabanov, Fareis, Yuan Datou, Sheng Xuanhuai, Zhao Erxun and others all looked at him, as if they were watching. A staff.
This is already 1908. Are you, an idiot, still playing the "gunboat threat" game with Zhao Chuanxin?
Don't mention it, Du Lifang has never paid much attention to Zhao Chuanxin. .
When Zhao Chuanxin heard this, he was amused, "The Decisive and the Entrecasto are in Jiujiang at this time, right?"
Du Lifang was a little embarrassed by everyone, but Or with the nostrils turned upward? "Exactly""
Zhao Chuanxin stood up and said to Zhao Erxun, "Gong Rang, go and boil a pot of water for me and make a pot of tea. I will forgive you for your rudeness." I'll be back before the tea cools down, so don't leave.
