Chapter 152 Assassination (1)
Ito Hirobumi left in embarrassment. He originally wanted to take advantage of the signing of the contract to paralyze the Qing Dynasty and send a beautiful woman to show his sincerity. After the assassination was successful, he fought back in one fell swoop.
But now the Qing Dynasty has put forward such harsh conditions, which are unacceptable.The breakdown of the negotiations will inevitably lead to the continuation of the war, and the situation will be very embarrassing at that time.
What should I do, Ito Hirobumi returned to his residence angrily and helplessly.
"My lord, is everything going well?" A graceful girl stood behind Ito Hirobumi at some point, startling him.
"Ah? Oh, the Qing Dynasty's request is too harsh. It is impossible to agree!" Ito Hirobumi said helplessly.
"When will your lord dedicate us to the Qing emperor?" the woman said dissatisfied.
Ito Hirobumi said flatly: "We have to find the right time, otherwise the Qing Dynasty will notice!"
"Hehe, your lord is worried about your own safety. It's better not to sacrifice me until you leave the Qing Kingdom!" The woman said with a mocking tone.
"You, my Ito family is a family of samurai. Since my great-grandfather, there has never been a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. You are a woman, I don't care about you!" Ito Hirobumi flicked his sleeves and wanted to leave.
"My lord, please calm down. I hope you will forgive me for speaking unscrupulously when the little girl is alive." The woman's ecstatic eyes made Ito Hirobumi argue with him again. If he didn't really feel the power of these poisonous spiders, It was impossible to tell from the outside that this soft and weak woman was a life-threatening weapon.
"My lord, you might as well dedicate me to the Qing emperor first. Then pretend that you need the emperor's approval before you can sign a peace treaty. Once we enter the palace, you will find an opportunity to leave." The woman suggested.
"Once I leave, what will you do?" Ito Hirobumi had actually thought of this method a long time ago, but he couldn't bear to sacrifice these women.
"Hehe, since we have come to the Qing Dynasty, we have already put life and death aside, and it is our honor to sacrifice our lives for the Great!" The woman suddenly changed her usual image of a prostitute, and she looked like a dead soldier of the empire.
"Okay, if that's the case. It shouldn't be too late. I'll arrange it as soon as possible. You must kill the Qing emperor. If you have a chance to escape, you can go to these places. These places are the secret residences of my intelligence personnel in the Qing Dynasty. They will take care of you." As he spoke, Ito Hirobumi took out a piece of paper and wrote down a few places.
"Thank you, my lord." The woman set her on fire after reading it.
Ito Hirobumi looked at the paper that was slowly turning into ashes, as if he had seen the counterattack after the successful assassination.Most of the current prosperity of the Qing Dynasty came from the hands of this emperor.As long as he dies, he will be able to dominate Asia again and humiliate the Qing Dynasty!
"Nakado, Ambassador Ito Hirobumi is asking to see you." A family member Ding Tong reported.
"Huh? It's not time for negotiation. Why is he here?" Li Hongzhang shook his fan slightly.
"He said he had something important to discuss."
Li Hongzhang rolled his eyes and said, "Let him in."
"Yes."
After a while, Ito Hirobumi walked in with strides.
"I've met Mr. Li." Ito Hirobumi clasped his fists.
"Oh, Ambassador Ito. Sit, sit, sit." Li Hongzhang didn't even stand up from his chair.
"Master Li, the envoy lost his composure during the last meeting. The envoy has already forwarded your country's opinion to my emperor for review. I hope that a peace treaty can be drawn up as soon as possible. I will contribute a little to the repair of the two countries." Itou Hirobumi said humbly.
Now it was Li Hongzhang's turn to be dumbfounded. He originally thought that this errand given to him by the emperor would never be completed no matter what.There is absolutely no possibility for people to agree, and everything will be broken.To ridicule and insult the envoy, I did not expect that he really had the sincerity of peace talks.
Li Hongzhang quickly stood up and shouted to the door: "Hurry up and serve tea."
"Yes."
"Brother Ito, I don't know what dissatisfaction the emperor of your country has with this peace treaty. Please bring it up for discussion. I can also report to the emperor. Appropriate revisions are still possible." Li Hongzhang said with concessions.
"The telegram has just been sent, and the emperor's order has not yet been received. I hope Mr. Li will forgive me!"
"Oh, don't worry, don't worry!" Li Hongzhang quickly waved his hand.
At this time, the servant came in with two cups of tea.
"Come, come, brother Ito, please drink tea." Li Hongzhang persuaded.
"Thank you." Ito Hirobumi took a sip from the teacup and put it down slowly. "Master Li, in fact, I have something else to do with the envoy today."
"Oh?" Li Hongzhang also put down the teacup in his hand, and continued to ask: "Brother Ito, please tell me."
"The emperor has always admired the Qing emperor's young self-government, expelling the French captives, resisting the British and barbarians, and taking back a large area of Mobei land. Now, taking the opportunity of negotiations, I have sent ten beauties to show my sincerity to the Qing. Show the emperor's admiration for the Qing emperor!" After Ito Hirobumi finished speaking, he stood up and clapped his hands lightly.
For a while, Li Hongzhang was dazzled by seeing beautiful women of different races in costumes walking in front of Li Hongzhang.All of them have outstanding aptitude, and they have the appearance of sinking fish and falling wild goose.Li Hongzhang has long forgotten the existence of Ito Hirobumi.
"Master Li, Master Li"
Li Hongzhang seemed to hear the beautiful women calling his name, nodded his head vigorously, and walked towards those women unconsciously.
"Master Li." Itou Hirobumi grabbed Li Hongzhang's hand.
"Ah? Oh! Brother Ito, you called me?" Li Hongzhang regained his composure.
"Hehe, Mr. Li, these beauties were dedicated by the emperor to the Qing emperor. If Mr. Li is interested, I will give him a role after I return to China." Hirobumi Ito said generously.
"I'm ashamed. Brother Ito's kindness, I accept it." Li Hongzhang calmed down and continued: "As for these beauties, after the peace agreement is signed, I will personally send them to the capital to present to the emperor."
"Well, to be honest, Mr. Li, the terms of the peace talks proposed by your country seem to be a bit harsh. What the emperor means is that he hopes to send these beauties to the palace as soon as possible to dedicate them to the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. I hope that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty can make the conditions appropriate when he is happy. Lower it, so "Ito Hirobumi is worthy of being an excellent diplomat, and his on-the-spot response is top-notch.
"Oh, haha. That's reasonable. I'll arrange someone to send them into the palace as soon as possible. Li is here waiting for the emperor's will!" Think of it as an enemy equal to the Qing Dynasty.
In Li Hongzhang's view, it is the same as the previous North Korea, Myanmar, and Vietnam, or it is close to their small subsidiary countries.It is common sense to come to court every year and pay tribute every year, not to mention offering a few beauties to please the emperor.Didn't feel anything wrong at all.
In addition, Li Hongzhang also had another thought in his mind.If the peace talks were successful because the Emperor Longxin was overjoyed after presenting the beauties and broke the rules and lowered the standards of the peace talks, then he would have done a great job!
After sending Hirobumi Ito away, Li Hongzhang said to the guards beside him: "Go, arrange the local guards to escort these beauties to Beijing. Immediately let the telegraph room generate electricity, just say"
