When the lamp was turned on, Tang Jiyao woke up from his coma. With a sick look on his face, he opened his eyes with difficulty and saw a room full of people surrounding him.

"Bi Geng, you're awake." Seeing that Tang Jiyao had woken up, a woman in luxurious clothes hurriedly asked a young Western doctor who had been waiting next to him to take a look at him. "Doctor, doctor, let me take a look quickly."

"Madam, the Overseer is already seriously ill. As long as you don't use your anger too much, your health will be in serious trouble." The doctor first auscultated and checked, then felt his pulse and said, "I'll prescribe some medicine for the Overseer."

People from the Tang Mansion surrounded Tang Jiyao, and someone knocked the pen in the doctor's hand to the ground. The doctor had no choice but to bend down and pick it up, and continued to write the prescription.[

After the doctor prescribed the medicine, Tang Jiyao waved slightly to signal everyone to go out. He knew very well whether he was sick or not. This illness was not only physical, but also mental. "Everyone, go out, Xiaoxiao stays."

After everyone left, Tang Xiaobei closed the door. He knew very well that his father was not ill this time, but was angry. When he saw the initial negotiation agreement drawn up by Japan, he was almost frightened and turned his back.

The anger went away. As the heir whom Tang Jiyao focused on training, Tang Xiaobei was extremely capable and well-mannered. That was why Tang Jiyao could safely let him take charge of this confidential negotiation.

He knows very well what the conditions in the contract mean. It's not that he is very patriotic, let alone how reluctant he is to part with the land or resources, but once these treaties are leaked, let alone the negotiation, just a little bit of news is enough.

Let the two fathers and sons be reviled by tens of millions of people across the country.

"Father, you have to pay attention to your health. You have to preside over the overall situation of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi." Tang Xiaobei sat next to Tang Jiyao and helped him sit up. Since his father fainted once, the topic will come next.

"Where's the treaty?" Tang Jiyao stretched out his hand tremblingly, indicating to Tang Xiaobei to take out the treaty and show him again.

Tang Xiaobei carefully took out the folded treaty from his clothes and handed it to Tang Jiyao.

Tang Jiyao, who was already mentally prepared, tremblingly opened the piece of paper that looked like a reminder, but his trembling hands found it difficult to open the small piece of paper, and then handed it back to Tang Xiaobei, "You better read it, and I'll listen.

"

Tang Xiaobei took the treaty and read in a low voice: "There are 13 secret agreements in total. After the Southwest is settled, firstly, the Empire of Japan will send inspectors to the factories in Dongchuan District and have the first right to purchase them. Secondly, lease Fangchenggang City for 99 years

.3. Japan has priority in mining, building seaports and shipyards, and building roads in Guangxi and Sichuan. 4. Employ Japanese soldiers as instructors of the three armed forces. 4. Recognize that citizens of the Empire of Japan have rights in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi provinces.

Residence, travel, business and mining operations, special diplomatic immunity and many other privileges..."

"Read, think about the conditions offered by the Japanese this time." Tang Jiyao resisted the urge to faint again. He knew very well that agreeing to any of these conditions, not to mention agreeing to them all, would allow him to agree to most of them.

Sitting on the throne of the greatest traitor since Yuan Shikai. He is not stupid at all, but what the Japanese promised verbally before was too tempting.

"Although it is only the first negotiation, the Japanese have added some additional conditions on the basis of the previous ones." Tang Xiaobei suppressed the pounding of his heart and began to read the conditions promised by the Japanese, "First, the Empire of Japan

Promise to help us build a modern army of no less than ten divisions within 5 years. And promise to provide all weapons and equipment. Second, the Empire of Japan will provide us with a loan totaling 4 million yen,

The tax revenue from the four provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi will be used as offset. Third, the Empire of Japan will contact other countries to promote and maintain the independence of the southwest..."

"Father, father..." After Tang Xiaobei finished reciting, he found that his father was in a daze, and he called Tang Jiyao back to his senses after calling twice. "In this private negotiation, the Japanese attitude was very clear. They gave

Among the 13 items, especially the first item, there is no room for negotiation. Moreover, they expressed the requirement to station troops somewhere in Guangxi."

"What factories do they want? With Japan's strong industrial scale and Zhang Shusheng's little property, they shouldn't let them go to war in such a big way." Putting aside other terms, it is not uncommon for the garrison to happen, but for the Japanese to covet Zhang Shusheng's property

, Tang Jiyao was very confused.

Why do the Japanese want to take over the factories in Dongchuan District after they calm down the overall situation in Southwest China?

After all, he is a warrior and does not know much about the current situation in various countries. In his impression, Japan is an extremely powerful neighboring country. Not only does they have a powerful navy, they can bully the late Qing fleet and the Russian Far East fleet to death.

Even with their powerful army, the Russians were completely defeated by them in the Northeast. Today, not only Korea, but the Northeast is also ruled by the Japanese.

When he first arrived in Japan in 1904, he clearly felt the power of Japan. In his opinion, with the industrial scale of Japan after its successful reform, it should not go to war for a small Dongchuan District.

Tang Xiaobei had a different view on this point, "Father, Zhang Shusheng is an extraordinary person. According to intelligence personnel, his factories in Dongcheng District have almost spread all over the mountains and plains. Many of his products are even exported to foreign countries, and now they are even more powerful, with many

Commodities are shipped from Dongchuan day and night, pass through Guangxi, and are sold all over the world."

"How could Zhang Shusheng be so powerful? His hometown is just a mountain nook, how could he still raise a golden phoenix?" Tang Jiyao was very familiar with Huize. It was his hometown. But he had never been back in these years.

, I just heard that the changes in the family have been huge. When old relatives at home came to see him, they brought some greeting gifts that he had never even heard of...

But in his opinion, given the current poverty-stricken situation in the country, no matter how powerful Zhang Shusheng is, he can only set up a factory in a small way. There are also factories in Kunming, but no Japanese want to buy them.

"Father, I also heard..." Tang Xiaobei hesitated slightly, and then said: "I heard that Shusheng Company is very close to some large foreign companies. In the past few years, we seized some of their products on pretexts, but in the end they were still foreign

Someone came to your door and wanted something back. Do you think he would..."[

"You mean Zhang Shusheng has been colluding with foreigners early in the morning? He is also selling, selling..." Tang Jiyao looked shocked, but in the end he did not say those two words that made him uneasy.

"Zhang Shusheng must have colluded with foreigners for a long time, and he has been engaged in traitorous activities for who knows how many years." Tang Xiaobei's mind suddenly changed, and he seemed to have figured out something, and said hurriedly: "In my opinion, where can he build such a big mountain?

Multiple factories? Even if a factory is built, why should foreigners buy the products produced? There is only one possibility. He colluded with foreigners and bought back some advanced technology and investment, and then he could open so many factories and create those strange things.

Weird products. Do you still remember? When my third uncle came last time, he said that his hometown is more pleasing to the eye than Kunming. If nothing else, there are more foreigners than us in Kunming..."

"So many! How could I forget this!" Tang Jiyao slammed the bed, and as soon as he connected the cause and effect, he immediately understood the secret behind it, "Xiao Bei, you are right. Zhang Shusheng must have done a lot.

Collusion with outsiders. Otherwise, how could he build so many factories? How could he train so many powerful armies. He must be a foreigner, he must be, he wants to learn from Zhang Zuolin in the north and rely on the strength of foreigners

Drive us away..."

Thinking of being oppressed by Zhang Shusheng all these years, Tang Jiyao was furious. He was also a graduate of the Japanese Military Academy. How could he be as knowledgeable as a student who had studied foreign literature for a few days? But he had been oppressed by him, and even

It also caused internal confrontation in the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi.

"Father, make up your mind. The Japanese promise that except for the first one, everything else can be negotiated." Although Tang Xiaobei was very afraid of the demands made by the Japanese, when he thought of the elite troops of the ten divisions, when he thought of the hundreds of

With a loan of 10,000 yen, he could not calm down the excitement in his heart, "Father, as long as we get the benefits promised by the Japanese, the entire southwest will be our rival again. If Zhang Zuolin can do it, we will definitely do better than him."

Tang Jiyao said silently, yes, as long as there is such strong support from the Japanese, Tang Jiyao will be the king of the southwest throughout the southwest. As for the Japanese conditions, as long as they do not lease Fangcheng Port for 99 years, it does not matter if everything else is agreed to them.

"Father, the Japanese also said that the 13th clause can be used as a secret agreement, and everything is done in secret." Tang Xiaobei couldn't wait any longer. Since Zhang Shusheng can be in the first grade of junior high school, why can't his father and his son be in the fifteenth grade? "The Japanese also promised that as long as the secret agreement is signed,

The equipment of the two divisions can be shipped from Japan immediately and sent to Yunnan along the China-Myanmar border."

Seemingly turning a deaf ear to his son's words, Tang Jiyao closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before he said calmly: "In the negotiation three days later, you told the Japanese that the 99-year lease of Fangcheng Port is absolutely impossible. You can allow them to build their own port there. They want

What they only have is the right to garrison troops. All we have to do is agree privately to them the right to garrison troops at the port. As for the conditions they promised, once the treaty is reached, instructors must be sent immediately to help us reorganize our troops, and the equipment of the three divisions must be transported to Kunming within half a year.

In addition, the repayment period of the loan will also be extended for another ten years."

"Okay, don't worry, father. With the bottom line you have given me, my child will not let you down." Tang Xiaobei said excitedly.

Tang Jiyao nodded: "When negotiating with the Japanese, you must be careful not to live up to your father's hope for you. Moreover, if I am satisfied with the treaty and decree, I will not sign the final one."

This was also due to the fact that the exposure of Yuan Shikai's traitorous behavior was partly related to the lack of confidentiality. Therefore, Tang Jiyao took great risks and just sent his most trusted son to negotiate with the Japanese, and then he made the final decision.

It only matters whether you sign or not. In his opinion, this can keep the confidentiality to the greatest extent possible.

Kunming, a hidden single-story building.

A man wearing a linen cap looked around and quickly entered the small building.

"Boss, I bought the medicine."

A family in the small building was eating. One of the men stood up and said to the family, "I will go back to the study to take medicine first. You can take your time."

After taking the medicine from the servant, the man walked into the study, closed the door, carefully opened the medicine package, selected a strange-colored pill from it, and opened an account.

There was a pigeon cage hanging under the eaves. The man opened the cage and took out the pigeon. He carefully put the pill into the small tube at the pigeon's feet. After placing it carefully, he carefully released the pigeon. The pigeon flapped its wings and flew into the sky and disappeared.

"Teacher, this is the top-secret information we just received." Zhao Ziyun took out a sealed envelope from the confidentiality bag and handed it to Zhang Shusheng.

After asking Zhao Ziyun to wait outside, Zhang Shusheng took out a small decoding machine, removed the shell from the pills in the envelope, and put them into a small hole in front of the decoding machine. It only took a few seconds for the pills in the envelope to be connected to the decoding machine.

A clear dialogue was broadcast on the player: "...Father, Japanese..."

"Bang!"

Zhang Shusheng slammed the new teacup that had been replaced for less than two days and flew it out, smashing it into powder again. The right hand holding the information even kept shaking, "The country is in danger, so let's just fight in the nest. Each one of them actually

Still rushing to betray the country, you really deserve to die."

"Come here!"[

"Report!"

"Let Wu Tiejun and Jiang Baili come to see me overnight."
