The Japanese army in Shandong was annihilated, and militarily speaking, its impact on the war situation was actually limited. After all, the navy had won, and the Japanese combined fleet could no longer pose a threat to the Italian task force.

However, the annihilation of the Japanese army in Shandong was a great political encouragement to the Qing Dynasty. This annihilation was considered a victory for Li Zhongtang, and the burden on Li Zhongtang was lightened a lot. After all, Yiren has performed well, and it is still easy to catch Japanese fake foreigners. Who doesn't praise Li Zhongtang's foresight and foresight in the market now.

It seems that when the Huai Army was defeated like a mountain, Li Er, who was scolded, was not alone.

The praise from the market and even the Qing court has certainly made Li Zhongtang feel much better, but it has its own troubles just like foreign soldiers. Li Zhongtang's troubles have not stopped recently, all because of money.

This is not only Master Zhou Fuzhou, who just returned from the Rongcheng frontline supervisor, but was pulled over by his benefactor Li Zhongtang again.

"Yushan, what did you see in Shandong?"

As a staff member for many years, how could Zhou Fu not know the meaning of the benefactor's words.

I saw him speak. "The Italian army is also sharp in battle. It can be said that it is invincible and invincible. It's just that the consumption is too much of a headache. This honor alone has fired more than 50,000 shells and millions of bullets, which consumes us. It’s hard to afford it.”

"So...the Italian army has no intention of being able to do anything?"

"Unfinished..."

"If that's the case, then there's nothing to complain about."

Li Zhongtang's remarks made Lord Zhou wake up like a dream. "It's me Meng Lang!"

Yes, since the military can do that. Dedicated to destroying the Japanese, he was concerned that the consumption of ammunition was a typical small loss. As for the lack of active efforts, this is normal. Those idiots in the family can't move even if they don't have enough money. And even giving silver can't beat Kerry. Skin? , battle, even more infuriating.

Although Li Zhongtang understands the performance of the Italian army, such a modern war still makes it difficult for him.

The most obvious example is that money can't help but spend. This finally made the six million taels of silver allocated by the imperial court to be gone in less than a month.

Do you think it would be easy for Li Er to deduct money from the imperial court? Not only did he have to convince the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, but he also had to fight with Weng Shuping. In the end, this amount of money was the only money the court had for half a year.

As for the remaining gaps, we can only rely on Li Zhongtang to find a way by himself. In addition, because of his hard work and familiarity with foreign affairs, he was allowed to borrow money from foreigners.

Borrowing foreign debt?

Although foreign debts are easy to borrow, they are difficult to repay. He Li Er has been doing foreign affairs for so many years, and the habits of those foreigners have long been figured out. As long as you open your mouth, you can borrow as much as you can, but in addition to the interest, other conditions are sandwiched in it, which can make you sick to death. But if you don't borrow it, you can't make it. The family is waiting for the rice to cook, so Li Zhongtang is completely a good doctor after a long illness, and he has no choice but to do so.

Just thinking about the trouble of foreign debts, I heard that the next person came to report to the grand master.

What this Master Shan is talking about is Sheng Xuanhuai. As the money bag of the Huai Army, how can he bypass him when he borrows money from foreigners? Sheng Xuanhuai will handle the matter without borrowing foreign debts. He Li Zhongtang only needs to wait for the final decision. done.

Not to mention, Sheng Xuanhuai had a good discussion with the foreigner. The previous loan of 20 million taels was very good, and he was very satisfied.

"I've seen adults."

After a brief greeting, Li Zhongtang asked Sheng Xuanhuai directly without giving Sheng Xuanhuai time to breathe. "Xingsun, how was the talk this time?"

Don't blame Li Zhongtang for asking in a hurry, isn't this a desperate shortage of money, more than 100,000 frontline soldiers can count on him to pay Li Er, and if he doesn't borrow money, he will not be able to support him even if he sells it.

In the face of the urgent Li Zhongtang, Sheng Xuanhuai of course did not dare to have any opinion and said directly. "Master Zhongtang, this time is not easy to talk about. We have borrowed a lot this time, and banks in various countries are reluctant to lower their conditions. Even Teckwah and Yihua Bank, who lent us money last time, are not willing. Privately, Yihua Bank Taipan Xia Mr. Er told me that the last time we borrowed money, we have been under great pressure. This time we borrowed 50 million taels of silver, and the ministers of various countries have strictly ordered the banks not to violate the agreement of the bank group. Ambassador Jia has no choice in this matter. "

Sheng Xuanhuai's words made Li Zhongtang feel a little distressed. Of course, he also knew the current attitude of the ministers of various countries towards the court.

He intends to take advantage of the fact that the imperial court is short of money in the war with the Japanese, and take this opportunity to win the conditions that have been negotiated before.

So it is very necessary to ask banks not to act privately. With the unrivaled strength of the British Empire, it was natural for Minister Orgner to become the host of the loan.

Although the trade share of Italy and Germany in Qing Dynasty has increased year by year, it is still slightly insufficient compared with Britain, France and the United States, which have been deeply cultivated for many years. Therefore, in terms of the dominance of borrowing, the two countries also know that there is no hope.

Li Zhongtang naturally knew that the Minister Orgner had bad intentions, but what could he do? He could only continue to talk about it.

"How are things going now?"

"At present, the conditions of banks in various countries are similar. They all give a 15-year term, and ask for a 5% profit at a 50% discount. In addition, the imperial court is required to take the cigarette tax as collateral, and other countries are allowed to set up agencies in Chengdu and Xi'an, and have jurisdiction over them. One's own people. And..."

Sheng Xuanhuai Balabala said that they are basically all kinds of privileges required by various countries. Although these conditions do not look high, they include various rights of various countries in Sichuan and Shaanxi. In addition to the right to govern outside the law, although he did not mention any rights such as mining and building roads, how could he not know the habits of these foreigners, waiting to oppress the officials below, make it a given fact, and make people blind.

"We can talk about this interest. As for the cigarette tax, it is also possible to use it as a mortgage. However, regarding the opening of agencies in Chengdu and Xi'an, tell them that I am just the governor of Beiyang, and I can't control the governors of Sichuan and Ganshan. This condition We can only find the imperial court."

What a shrewd person Li Zhongtang is, how can he let the foreigners get their wish. It is better to raise the interest rate than to let go of opening an agency here.

"Okay, my lord, I'll do it now."

Although Li Zhongtang said this, Sheng Xuanhuai, who was in charge of running errands, knew that it was not easy. But what can he do about this, he can only continue to grind with Li Zhongtang's conditions~www.mtlnovel.com~.

After sending Sheng Xuanhuai away, Li Zhongtang glanced at Zhou Fudao. "What is wrong with Yushan to speak out?"

As two people who have cooperated for many years, they naturally know each other very well. Zhou Fu felt a little inappropriate in Li Zhongtang's words to Sheng Xuanhuai before, so he hesitated to speak, but the result was immediately seen by him.

"Lord Zhongtang, this money matters a lot. It's not a blessing for Xingsun to delegate power to Xingsun so much."

Zhou Fu's statement was vague, and he was about to directly say that Sheng Xuanhuai's person, when he talked about borrowing, would definitely do it. And before it was borrowed, there was a lot of trouble in the city.

Regarding Zhou Fu's words, Li Zhongtang smiled slightly. "Yushan knows that ten days ago, the censor Hu Kailin was vacated."

This Yushi Hu was a member of Weng Shangshu. He had been biting Li Zhongtang before, but this was suddenly opened. Whether it was for him or to appease him depends on how Li Er interprets it.

Zhou Fu heard this and said immediately. "Dongweng means that the court is planning to appease us first, and then use it to make trouble in the future?"

Li Er looked at him and said, "The imperial court has always used me for both use and defense. If I hadn't invited the foreign soldiers this time, I would have fallen over here... It's hard!"
