Chapter 185 Treaty of Darini

"Guan Foreign War, Jiangnan Restoration, Clear Qi Number, Two Hundred and Six!"

It spread all over the country and north of the country. Even in Kanto, which had been fighting for many months, it was the same. The original nearly 20,000 "all kinds of arms" of the secret school outside the customs did not know the impact of the restoration of the south on them, but the smart ones still began to find their own way out.

In the early morning, Liu's house in the mouth ushered in a carriage one after another. Just look at the micro notes on the carriage, you can know that it was the carriage of Zhang Delu, director of the Dalilin City Public Welfare Bureau. The carriage entered the courtyard of Liu's house and stopped in front of the Russian-style mansion. Zhang Delu, wearing a suit and a top hat, got off the horse directly. The car entered the house without tacticing Liu Zhaoyi.

"Are you sure?"

Liu Zhaoyi asked, while Zhang Delu nodded, and the two walked over without saying a word.

There are eight rich people in Qingniwa Chinese merchants, with Zhang Delu ranking first and Liu Zhaoyi ranking second. Both of them are Russian translators. They also rely on their relationship with Ji Fengtai. They started their career by relying on the timber of Xing'anling Mountains. Then, when they were building the city of Darini, they urgently needed a large number of labor, and recruited labor from Shandong, Hebei, Henan and other places to make a family.

At this time, the two of them were the same face and with some worry in their eyes.

The two walked side by side into a European-style study in Liu's house. The windows of the study were hung with thick curtains, and the room was lit with lights. A young man in Western-style clothes sitting on a large Russian sofa looked at the two people with a smile.

He looked calmly at the two people who entered the room without any expression. From their expressions, he knew that he had been half successful.

" Director Zhang and President Liu, are you sure?"

"Mr. Ji, say it! What do you want!"

Liu Zhaoyi just said something, and Ji Fuze shook his head. Not only did he not show joy on his face, but also showed a dejected look. He sighed.

"I'm afraid it's not what I want, but how Director Zhang and Chairman Liu can escape some secondary disasters!"

With his words, there was a dead silence in the study. Zhang Delu's whole body was already wet, his head was buzzing, and his arms were stiff on the sofa. Since he knew the news, he was in panic. Now he has finally confirmed why he is not afraid. If he hadn't thought that there was such a Mr. Ji here, he was afraid that he would have fled as far he had been, but he had never Liu Zhaoyi's voice was also obviously lowered, with a trill in the middle.

"Zhaoyi and Delu are all rude people. Please ask Mr. Ji to save me and the other two!"

Liu Zhaoyi's words were humble and extremely respectful. At this time, there was the pride of Ji Fengze for the first time in the past when he saw Ji Fengze in the Chamber of Commerce. They were not Ji Fengtai. Ji Fengtai could hold the passports of the Three Kingdoms. The Russians helped the Russians in Shengshi. It was said that Sheng Shi helped him. They didn't have Ji Fengtai's share. It's tactful, let alone his opportunity.

"If you want someone to save you, you have to save yourself. I don't know what you two have to save yourself?"

Ji Fuze did not give them any advice directly, but asked directly.

Liu Zhaoyi and Zhang Delu looked at each other, and there was no other's way to save themselves. They took the secret order of the Japanese military headquarters that Ji Fuze did not know where it came from, and looked at the words "After Darini settled down, they captured Liu, Zhang and other eight people in Dalian with the crime of "Russia" and confiscated their property". After that, the two of them had no idea. At first, they didn't believe it, but now the mayor Hua Xili? Huaxi Rivic? After talking about it, Mayor Sakharov knew that if he had occupied Dalian, it would have been like this. Sakharov, like many Russians, sold the real estate to Chinese merchants. He said that if he came, he would definitely use the "Russian crime" to investigate the assets of Darini in order to achieve the rule over Dari.

Ji Fengtai, who bought the most, doesn't need to worry. There is himself in his background. He even acts as a spy for the Japanese service, but others don't have this "good fortune". He said that he will naturally attack them when he comes.

On the way here, Zhang Delu didn't want to escape, but if he really left such a big industry to escape, he was really reluctant. Especially he spent millions of rubles to buy the industry abandoned by the Russians. If he really escaped, he would return to his original form.

"Self-help, I'd like to contact myself, but is it possible?"

Liu Zhaoyi opened his mouth and sighed.

"Yes, Mr. Ji, if there is any way, don't procrastinate. If... can protect our industry, Brother Liu and I are willing to pay one million rubles to thank you, and the other five families are also willing to pay a lot of one million yuan to thank you!"

Zhang Delu smiled and took out a check from his pocket.

"This is 500,000 rubles, please accept it, Mr. Ji!"

Zhang Delu's action was extremely generous, which was nearly 300,000 taels of silver. Even when he bribed those Russians in the past, he was not so generous, but now in order to keep his own property, he ignores anything else.

"The way!"

Picking up the check and scanning the numbers on it, Ji Fuze just smiled and then pushed the check back!

"There is another way, but..."

Seeing him like this, Liu Zhaoyi and Zhang Delu thought that he had little spare money, just when they were about to add words. But I heard Ji Fuze add a sentence there.

"It depends on whether you two have that courage!"

"Bolden?"

Liu Zhaoyi was surprised. Zhang Delu still looked at Ji Fuze in surprise and didn't understand what this had to do with courage.

"Please speak clearly, Mr. Ji!"

"There is a way. If you have the courage, then you can not only keep your industry, but also further expand the two industries, and there will be unexpected gains!"

After Ji Fuze picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, he looked at the two people in front of him.

His words only made Liu Zhaoyi and Zhang Delu hesitate there. Although they don't know what to do, there is no doubt that they take any risk and what kind of risk will they take?

If there is no secret text, for both of them, as long as there is no war, no matter who is in the world, they always have to pay taxes. They can pay to anyone and pay as much as they want, but now the greed of Dongyang Xiaobi has forced them to the road of determination.

Liu Zhaoyi gritted his teeth, looked at Ji Fuze, stood up, and bowed first.

"Mr. Ji, please teach me!"

When Liu Zhaoyi gritted her teeth and said this sentence, there was only that sentence left in her heart. People died for money, and birds died for food!

Ji Fuze did not say anything, but turned his eyes to Zhang Delu. After Zhang Delu looked at Ji Fuze and hesitated in his heart, he stood up and repeated Liu Zhaoyi's words.

"I just want to ask, how much do you think you can spend? Let Sakharov hand over this Dari!"

His question made Liu Zhaoyi and Zhang Delu look at each other in front of each other and didn't know how to answer it. How much money could make him hand over the city?

"Five...five million rubles!"

After a moment of silence, Liu Zhaoyi answered.

"Mr. Ji, Na Sakharov is an insatiable man. Taking the opportunity to be a Dali mud port, the chief engineer of urban construction and mayor, he has obtained tens of millions of family assets for himself. Now he has sold all his assets to Ji Fengtai. If there are 5 million, he will definitely be allowed to hand over the city!"

At this time, Liu Zhaoyi regarded Ji Fuze as the same role as Ji Fengtai. He thought he was a Japanese military spy, but Zhang Delu didn't think so. Looking at Ji Fuze, he thought about it in his heart that the two Ji were obviously not the same kind of people. Ji Fengtai went to play Na Sakharov. According to Mr. Ji said, he was accepted. According to my instructions, he will still... So who sent Mr. Ji? Could it be... Thinking about it, Zhang Delu asked.

"I don't know how Lord Ji handed over!"

In a word, a change in his name woke up Liu Zhaoyi. He stared at Ji Fuze and seemed to understand his intention. At this time, he finally understood why he said that this matter needed courage. It was not just courage, but to take risks with his life!

"This is an insurance policy of Dexing Insurance Company. You only need to sign it. If the industry of these two people is destroyed by the war, Dexing Insurance Company can compensate 5 million taels of silver!"

Ji Fuze pushed an insurance policy to the two people, but he still didn't say his intention. Liu Zhaoyi and Zhang Delu looked at the policy and finally understood something. After the two hesitated for nearly ten minutes, they picked up the pen and signed their names on the policy.

At noon, Hua Xili, the mayor of Darini? Huaxi Rivic? In the living room of Sakharov's mansion, there were two friends of Sakharov. The three of them sat by a European-style round table inlaid with gems, drinking champagne and talking.

"My friends, you must understand that if I sign this treaty, I may become a sinner of Russia!"

Although he said so, Sakharov's face did not show disgust.

Zhang Delu narrowed his eyes and used his hands to the suit he was not used to. Only when he saw these Russians would he wear a suit, which was completely different from Ji Fengtai, who had cut his hair and wore a suit.

"Mr. Mayor, with your wisdom, you also understand that when you sign this treaty, it will mean that you will become a contributor to the entire Russian empire!"

Saharov's words fell into meditation. He made a deal with Ji Fengtai. Ji Fengtai bought 50 buildings, power stations and all the memorials that once belonged to him for 12 million rubles, which was almost equivalent to nearly one-tenth of the buildings in Darini. However, despite this, he still earned an extra 200 yuan. Ten thousand rubles, and as a price, he must assist Ji Fengtai to prevent the Russian army from destroying the important building facilities in the city, and prepare for the military to take over and use of the city.

He clearly knew that although he escaped the inspection of the tsar's inspectors when Darini was first built, his cooperation with Ji Fengtai brought him great risks. In fact, he was ready. As soon as he left Darini, he would take his family to the United States or It's Britain, who is a rich man there, but the Jinzhou Isthmus has been cut off by the Japanese army. The only place to escape is Lushunkou. If... people die for money! He chose to cooperate with Ji Fengtai for money, but if... as Zhang Delu said, if he returned the city to the Qing Dynasty, it would undoubtedly complicate the problem of the city. If he occupied this city "belonging to the Qing Dynasty", it would arouse the evil feelings of the Qing people. Naturally, it is impossible for them to maintain it. That kind of nominal neutrality, if they admit the reality, if they want to use the city, they need the permission of the Qing Dynasty, and then Russia can protest to the Qing Dynasty.

At that time, I have enough reasons to convince St. Petersburg officials that I did this to protect the interests of Russia and give full play to the greatest use of a city that is bound to fall, and even he may become a hero.

"Mr. Mayor, in fact, we all know the final outcome of this war. There is no possibility of defeating the Russian Empire, and we also hope so!"

Liu Zhaoyi said half true and half false, and then he continued.

"If Russia defeats the Japanese army in the future, the whole Manchuria will become the territory of the Russian Empire, not to mention Dellini? Mr. Mayor!"

"So... Liu Xianxian, you can tell me why you should help Qing officials convey this suggestion?"

Sakharov asked with a cunning smile that he did not believe that these cunning Qing merchants would do unprofitable things.

"Mr. Mayor, we must protect our industry! As you told me in the morning, I must seek every possible opportunity to protect my property!"

Zhang Delu answered seriously.

"Do you know the risks? If it is said to be a strong attack! At that time, the whole Darini may turn into ruins!"

"Of course we understand this, but Mr. Mayor has answered my question in the morning, saying that I would also lose all my industry here. There is a saying in China!"

At this time, Liu Zhaoyi's eyes showed some fierce color.

"The jade is burned! If we can't keep our property, then we'd rather let Darini completely destroy it!"

"Oops! In that case, Ji Fengtai will definitely hate you. You know, he now owns one-fifth of Dalini's real estate!"

"Mr. Mayor, do you care?"

In the face of Liu Zhaoyi's problem, Sakharov shrugged his shoulders helplessly. His deal with Ji Fengtai was only to prevent the destruction of the business port and the railway station, and there was no agreement to move the city to anyone.

"I won't care, because when I come, we are doomed to lose everything, and may even lose our lives. It's just another way. If we can succeed, our property will be preserved!"

"Actually, if Russia wins the war, maybe your property will be returned to you!"

"Mr. Mayor, Russia will not return the assets of enemy countries that do not have. When our industry is confiscated, everything becomes Japanese assets, right? Mr. Mayor, will you return those assets to us?

Liu Zhaoyi asked back with a smile.

Joke, of course not. No one can do that? His hotels, buildings, power stations and courtyards were all sold to Ji Fengtai. If that day really comes, he will definitely find a way to make up for his losses. Naturally, it is impossible to return the Chinese merchants' assets he confiscated to these Chinese merchants.

At this time, a servant handed a filled telegram to Sakharov in a silver tray. He took a look at the telegram, then looked at the man in front of him and put the telegram away.

"If... I hope you know, I mean if!"

Sakharov asked with some doubts.

"If I give this city to you in the next few days, what will you use to protect it? Do you just rely on the Ye'an Patrol of the Public Council?

His question only made Liu Zhaoyi and Zhang Delu happy. They looked at each other and knew that the mayor had been persuaded by them.

"Mr. Mayor, you don't have to worry about it. Naturally, we have our own way, and we can definitely tell you that the county magistrate of Wakukou County has arrived at Kuakou!"

"Can I meet him?"

Liu Zhaoyi and Zhang Delu smiled and did not answer.

"Mr. Mayor, in return for returning the city of D'Arini to the Qing Dynasty!"

Liu Zhaoyi took out a check from his pocket. The six zeros on the check and the word "3" in front of it were very simple. He thought for a while before answering a sentence.

"There are some things that I can't decide. I can decide to retreat from here, but..."

This money is very attractive, and their suggestion is also very attractive, but there are always some concerns.

"So, I need to report to Governor Arexeev of Kanto before I can make a decision!"

"Mr. Mayor, how long has it been since the Governor and St. Petersburg made a decision?"

After asking rhetorical questions, Zhang Delu hit the iron again while it was hot.

"What's more, before the war, Lord Kuropatkin suggested to return Nanman and Lushun to China! As the mayor of Darini, you can make any decision based on Russian interests when it is in the interests of the Russian Empire, can't you?

"It's true! Mr. Mayor!"

Liu Zhaoyi was drinking with him. When he spoke, he even took out a pen, pushed it in front of Sakharov with the check, and then looked at him with a smile.

Looking at the treaty written in Chinese and Russian, Sakharov seemed a little hesitant. It took him ten minutes to make a decision when he betrayed Dari, because he had already figured out a strategy to deal with it and let others bear the charges on his behalf, but if he signed the treaty.

While hesitating, Sakharov looked at the seductive check again, which was so tempting.

"If Russia wins this war, is it possible for the Qing Dynasty to defend Drini? They will even lose the whole Manchuria, not to mention this Darini!"

"Doing this is to safeguard Russia's interests. The ownership of this city will intensify the contradiction between the two countries... In any aspect, it is in line with Russia's interests!"

While thinking about this in his heart, Sakharov picked up the pen and stared at the treaty and read it again. The treaty was so simple that it just returned a city to them. There were no other provisions. Even if he was not a legal expert, he knew that there was no trap in the treaty. The well.

Finally, he dropped his pen, but halfway through the signature, his hand still stopped. He looked up at the two Qing people in front of him again.

"Are you sure that your political axe dares to accept the city?"

When he asked this question, he had already signed his name on the treaty.
