Wang Yi was reading the newspaper, um... he was reading the declaration... This kid is a little proud now. Oh, we are also going to the newspaper.

Of course the two girls sneered at this.

Although Wang Yi made a big fuss in the "Shenbao" and hoped that the people of the whole country would unite, expel Japanese and Japanese merchants, and boycott Japanese goods, to be honest, there were few people in China. Simply put, there were too few ordinary people who read the word. The second and most important one - who is your Wang Yi!

Of course, Wang Yi is also famous now.

The reason was not that he announced the news of Japan's occupation of Ryukyu and issued a "Letter to Compatriots in the Country", but that he killed 38 Japanese spies.

The news has been very calm during this period... Except for Li Hongzhang's statement in front of the ministers of various countries that the Qing Dynasty did not recognize Japan's occupation of Ryukyu, he neither said to fight nor said not to fight, and it was gone! Zheng Yongning, the descendant of the Ming Dynasty in the Japanese Embassy, ​​just shouted a few protests and sent troops in the first two days, and became honest. The authentic Japanese minister, Naoji, is still in Japan, and is now struggling with how to go to the Qing Dynasty.

It is also very peaceful in Fengtian!

General Chonghou of Shengjing was still in Russia. The Qiyuan, who was acting as a member of the Qing royal family, was a member of the Manchu Zhenghong Banner. He was a senior official. He had some skills and was better than ordinary Qing children. However, he could reach his current position and was mostly based on the advantage he had taken.

Qiyuan came with Chongshi, the general of Shengjing, but Chongshi was pissed off in office by Wang Yi. He has now taken over the position of Chongshi's younger brother Chonghou. Although he is still just an agent, it is impossible to think that Chonghou will actually rebel. As long as he returns to China, he will become a full-time position.

Therefore, to put it in a popular saying now, his current work is to maintain stability.

Now the General's Mansion of Shengjing owes Dashang 500,000 taels of silver, which was borrowed by Chongshi for three years. The interest is the three-year mining rights of the coal mine in Fushun, and it is about to expire. However, looking at the current meaning, Wang Yi also saw that perhaps Qi Yuan Chonghou and his group had such a net worth in their pockets, but that was not the silver from the General's Mansion of Shengjing. I have never heard of officials and donating money, so later Wang Yi and Li Yuzhenyi discussed and directly gave Qi Yuan a face. The loan time was extended for two years, and the conditions remained unchanged.

Qi Yuan still admires Wang Yi very much, but he thinks this brother is too fierce.

To be honest, although Wang Yi did what he said, there were only a few places he could control. The place where there were really many Japanese people was in Shengjing City. He had the ability to reach out, but he always had to take into account General Shengjing's face.

"The calmness before the storm..." Wang Yi put his legs on his desk and leaned back to think.

On April 25, 1879, the new Japanese ambassador to China, Uhu Ji finally arrived in the Qing Dynasty. He immediately protested to the Prime Minister's affairs offices. Of course, he could not see the Japanese Liu Yi, but he saw Jing Lian and Wang Wenshao, and there was nothing good to say on both sides.

The Nunhu Ji demanded severe punishment of Dashang Chairman Wang Yi, disbanding the Dashang Insurance Team, compensating the Japanese side for losses, and tragically killing innocent Japanese people to make their innocence. Jing Lian and Wang Wenshao demanded that Japan retreat from Ryukyu.

Both sides talked about each other, and after talking, no one followed the pace of each other.

After receiving the news from Beijing, Wang Yi just smiled and ignored it. He didn't care what the Japanese said, the Japanese were foxes. Just one to one, the Japanese are for nothing now! Unless a great power is pulled, there will be no chance.

Li Hongzhang is also unpromising, and he fell in love with his cane when he met for the first time.

Grant also saw what Li Hongzhang meant, but he smiled and said, "Since Lord Zhongtang likes this cane, I should give it to me, but this cane was given to me by the business community across the country when I stepped down. This represents the wishes of the people. I am not convenient for me to give it to you privately. After I return to China, I will ask everyone for permission and send it to you."

Li Hongzhang smiled.

It is strange that the two of them became friends after a while. 17 years later, Li Hongzhang visited the United States, and Grant had passed away. When visiting Grant's widow Julia, Julia asked in public: "Today happened to Mr. Li, I was visiting, so I asked you specifically if you are willing to give the cane to Mr. Li?"

The attendees in the hall agreed unanimously. Later, the cane was returned to Li Hongzhang and never left him for a moment.

According to Li Hongzhang's own recollection, all of them would become friends because he, like General Grant, had been on the battlefield for a long time to save his motherland... Whenever Wang saw this, he would always get goose bumps and couldn't help but complain: Did Old Li hypnotize himself? Otherwise, he would really treat himself as Yue Fei? If Zuo Zongtang said this, the young master could barely endure it, but what kind of virtue is you, Li Hongzhang? Apart from being a marquis three thousand miles away, are there anything else in your mind?

Wang Yi was talking to several senior executives of Da Shang, and only heard Li Yuzhen say: "Chairman, you don't seem to care much about Mr. Grant."

Wang Yixiaoxiao, the president of the United States? Not to mention the resignation, they were the current people who were in charge, such as the small bushes and the sea. When did the young master care about it? Isn’t it just an American president, even an actor, and there is nothing to be a rare thing.

"Why care about him?"

Everyone wondered: "Isn't he the former president of Citiland?"

"Didn't you treat him as the Supreme Emperor of Citi, right?" Wang Yi smiled.

But what Wang Yi didn't expect was that in the minds of Shen Yazhi, Tong Qianjia and others, he really thought so. "I wipe my tears, do you really think so? They are different from us, they don't have an emperor. Although the president is like an emperor, he only works alone for a few years and then replaces others with his work."

"So ruthless?"

"It's okay, the president is more like ours... the military aircraft chief, and it will be replaced after a few years. So you don't have to care too much about him. To put it bluntly, that is, the phoenix that lands is not as good as a chicken!"

Others were half-believing and half-doubted, and always felt that a leader of Citigroup would not have no prestige at all.

A few days later, Grant's letter was sent back, and the result was the same as in history. Grant's mediation failed, and Japan refused to return the sovereignty of Ryukyu to the Qing government. So Grant began to mediate in reverse and persuade the Qing Dynasty to leniently. Anyway, as long as the fight could not be fought, his mediation would be considered successful.

Originally, he was so angry that he had more breath, without him in the wet and without him in the dryness, in order to gain political capital and return to China to elect the president. If Japan can be allowed to return the sovereignty of Ryukyu, it is naturally the best. If it cannot be done, at least it cannot be fought between the two sides, otherwise it will not be suffocated?

Wang Yi was having a meal at the time. After seeing Grant's statement, he sneered and said to Li Yuzhen opposite him: "If the Russians reoccupied Alaska and I went to mediate, I wonder if I said kuang, can he, the former president, listen?"
