Chapter 340
The "Tumen River China-Korea Boundary Affairs Clause" has a total of seven articles, but one of them contains the ambition of the Japanese, that is, the Qing government will build the Jichang Railway to the southern border of Yanji, and the Huining area of ​​​​Korea and North Korea Rail link.

When Zhu Chuanwen saw this, he knew that Zaifeng was playing tricks.

Capital
When Xu Shichang was the Minister of Posts and Communications, he was also traveling at the Military Aircraft Department. The situation in the Kanto region was one of his main concerns.

"Master Zhang, Xiliang's secret document, the regent will leave it to me for approval, but I think this matter needs to be discussed with you..." Xu Shichang went directly to Zhang Zhidong's mansion to visit.

"What? Is it difficult?"

"A little bit, Xiliang's idea is good, but I'm afraid this matter will cause the Russians and Japanese to backlash." Xu Shichang said worriedly.

"What does the Regent mean?"

"He now seems to feel that the United States, Japan, Germany, and Russia are all in his hands, and he is delusional about using the current North Korea as a breakthrough, so let's not mention it..." Xu Shichang sighed.

Zaifeng is really a man of great ambition and talent, but this time his diplomatic victory seems to have gradually fueled his ambition. North Korea is a pawn, especially for the vast territory of the Qing court. After the first taste of the joy of ruling, the establishment of Jiandao's sovereignty made Zaifeng mistakenly think that he had got two hands of cards, one was called the Kanto card and the other was called the North Korea card.

The situation in the Kanto is still dominated by Russia and Japan, but the Qing court belongs to the landlords, but they also have their own rights. Russia and Japan are nothing more than enjoying the interests in the Kanto.

The dismissal of the Kanto brand has something to do with Xiliang.

"Leave the prince alone for the time being, just ask if there is room for Xiliang's method to be implemented?" Zhang Zhidong asked after a moment of pondering.

"Yes, but if this railway was really built by Americans..." Xu Shichang thought about the consequences of offending Russia and Japan. In 1900, he was a witness to the humiliating war.

Xu Shichang and the people of this generation actually knew in their hearts that the invasion of Beijing by the Eight-Power Allied Forces was like a pillar of shame, nailed to the hearts of this generation, and it could not be washed away no matter what.

The idea of ​​building the railway was put forward by the Japanese, but after careful consideration, the Qing Dynasty agreed.

The purpose is to allow the two forces in Kanto to add one side, which is why Germany and the United States intervened during the negotiations between Qing and Japan.

Officials of the Qing court were good at balancing, which may have been influenced by the doctrine of the mean. Under the proposal of Xiliang, under the leadership of Fengtian governor Tang Shaoyi and others, a new force wanted to be introduced to the Kanto region by the officials of the Qing court. This is the United States.

If the American continent is the basic base of the United States that cannot be violated by others, then Kanto is the overseas market it is actively expanding. Because of the huge raw material production base in the Americas, the United States is in urgent need of a dumping ground for industrial products, and the Qing Dynasty is actually its chosen target. .

Why did Roosevelt return the Gengzi indemnity? This is actually a show of favor. It is understandable to fatten the pig before killing it.

Today, there are two expansions in the north and south of the Kanto border, one is Japan and the other is Russia, and both sides are slowly advancing. At this time, an American capital without territorial ambitions is obviously a good partner.

The Japanese thought that the connection between the Kanto Railway and the Korean Railway was an advance arrangement.

However, the people of the Qing Dynasty believed that the way the railway was built was broken.

Guiding American capital to participate in the development of the Northeast, making the United States a strategic partner of the Qing Dynasty in the Kanto, this is the foreign policy of Xiliang’s administration of the Kanto.

"My lord Xu, I think we can actually try it. At least the U.S. government has put forward the request of "neutralization of the Manchuria Railway" to put pressure on Japan and Russia, asking them to ensure the integrity of China's territorial sovereignty and keep the door of Manchuria open. It is very beneficial to us. .

And don't forget, there must be a deal behind the Germans and the Americans. Now that the Germans are grabbing our interests in Qilu, if the United States and Germany provoke Japan, will this unfamiliar wolf cub bite its master back? One bite, can we take back some of our rights in Qilu? "Zhang Zhidong now knows everything. As long as he can see things, he wants to tell them all. It's not like before, which left room for people to guess.

When Xu Shichang heard this, he felt that there was some truth to it. After leaving, he walked towards the military plane. Since Zaifeng gave him the power, he should actively promote it.

Ice city
Hanyao Middle School has all started school, and it is worth celebrating that nearly 700 children of workers and children from Binjiang Prefecture have enrolled this year.Office of the Ice City Council.

Andre sat down with Berg again.

"Your Excellency, it seems that the people of the Qing Dynasty are not familiar with white-eyed wolves." Berg squinted his eyes, the fat man was no longer as amiable as before, but he was a bit sinister.

"Yeah, it seems that the situation in the Far East has changed again..." Andre's eyes were also a little dark.

It was completely unexpected that the Qing people would do this to them.

Just after helping the people of the Qing Dynasty, he came back to take a bite. Sure enough, there is no credibility at all in the exchanges between countries.

The introduction of American capital to build the Jichang Railway has already been put on the desks of the two of them. This matter can be tolerated, but to neutralize the Manchuria Railway is to dig the roots of Russia and Japan. It takes years of hard work to obtain The interests you have received, now that it is introduced to the United States, do you want to change it like this?
This made the two spokespersons of Russian interests in North Manchuria very dissatisfied.

"Did the Japanese do anything?" Andre asked.

"Your Excellency General, the Kanto Prefecture of Japan sent a secret message directly to our consul in Ice City, requesting a high-level meeting between the two countries."

"Has it been sent back to China?"

"Send it back! But Your Excellency, the two of us are not alone in this mistake!" Berg said worriedly.

"What are you afraid of? Isn't the Zhu family's armed force still in Yanbian Mansion? I heard that the Qing Dynasty asked the Japanese troops in North Korea to retreat, and Japan also asked the Qing Dynasty's armed forces to retreat. As long as I let Zhu Chuanwen stand still, it will drag Japan People in the eyes of some Japanese troops in North Korea.

Then we still have some military power that we can rely on in North Manchuria, which still has a slight advantage when our Far East Army is comparable in strength to Japan. " said Andre.

"However, after all, they are from the Qing Dynasty, Your Excellency, this time it is the Qing people who want to check and balance us." Berg still did not trust the Qing people at this time.

This is the expression on Ren who was stabbed after he just finished helping.

"Don't worry, Zhu Chuanwen is under control." Andre was full of confidence.

But is Zhu Chuanwen really within the control of the Russians?

Koyanagi Masaki, the Japanese who was completely instigated by the hunter, had already passed the news of Japan to Zhu Chuanwen.
