Qin Zheng said: "The words of this reporter seem to have reversed the causal relationship. We have been working hard to safeguard China's interests. Now the Qing government is the one who betrays China's interests. However, this reporter thinks that we are doing something wrong. We should persuade the Qing government to change its decision. It seems that we should be responsible for the Qing government's treason. But what I want to say is that the decision-makers of the Qing government are not children, they are all adults with considerable political experience. They should be responsible for their actions."

After Qin Zheng finished speaking, the reporters whispered again. Because Qin Zheng's words had become increasingly harsh, they almost spoke the term "the decision-maker of the Qing government". However, most reporters still agreed with Qin Zheng's statement. After all, during this time in Shanghai, time travelers have been promoting what they did to safeguard China's interests. Now this concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the actions of the Qing court have indeed disappointed most people. Under such favorable conditions, it is really unreasonable to agree to such harsh conditions in various countries. However, most people just dare not speak out. Qin Zheng's angrily denounced the Qing court did say the words of many people. Therefore, after Qin Zheng finished speaking, there were reporters who followed suit. Some said that Qin Zheng said it well, and some accused the Qing court of doing something wrong this time.

However, there are also some guardians who uphold traditions who are naturally quite dissatisfied with Qin Zheng's words. The reporter who asked Qin Zheng just now said: "The Qin Political Commissar has a bad word. Since ancient times, there are only bad ministers and no bad kings and fathers. It is said that if you don't say your father's mistakes, your ministers and your losers will be very dissatisfied. The Qin Political Commissar's words just now are very contrary to the way of a minister."

As soon as he finished speaking, other reporters couldn't help but say privately: "It's funny, overseas Chinese are not subordinates of the Qing Dynasty, why can't they say that the court is not."

"Yes, I heard that overseas Chinese are implementing a republic system. If there is no monarch, those who are virtuous will be promoted. Why don't the ministers say that the king will lose? They won't prosper this?"

Sure enough, Qin Zheng said: "We have not been granted the title of the Qing government now, so we are not a minister of the Qing government. We have no direct subordinate relationship with the Qing government, and our actions are not led by the Qing government. Of course, my words do not mean that we deny the rule of the Qing government, but this country is not the private property of the Qing government's decision-maker, nor is it the family affairs of the Qing government. China belongs to all Chinese people and all Chinese children of the Chinese nation. Therefore, no one, including the decision-maker of the Qing government, is not qualified to buy national interests. The ancients once said that the world is the world of the world, not the world of one person and one surname, and those who are virtuous live there, and those who are not virtuous lose it. So please tell me, can a court that does not hesitate to buy national interests be considered virtuous?"

This time Qin Zheng finished speaking, the audience was silent because Qin Zheng's words were too shocking, heavier than everything he said before. They were almost denying the legal rule of the Qing court, and the reason was high-sounding. The reporter who asked Qin Zheng could not say that the court that bought national interests could be considered virtuous.

However, after Qin Zheng finished his answer, the number of reporters asking for questions was greatly reduced because they were afraid that Qin Zheng would say anything out of particular way, and they might call the emperor and the queen mother next time. Time travelers were not afraid of the Qing court, but they did not mean that reporters were not afraid. What Qin Zheng said, not to mention during the Kanggan period, or during the Daoguang and Xianfeng period, was enough to be betrayed and executed, and the nine clans were killed. Asking questions to Qin Zheng might implicate himself.

And those who demand higher demands are reporters from foreign newspapers. Of course, they would not care about the Qing court's ideas. On the contrary, they were quite interested in Qin Zheng's answer. The more they dared to speak, the more intense the words they said, the more newsworthy they would naturally be. Just as dogs bite people is not news, and humans bite dogs is news. This is no different from the old time and space in this era.

So a foreign reporter immediately asked: "Political Commissar Qin, what I want to ask is that if your side decides to withdraw from this negotiation, will the Qing government continue to negotiate with other countries and finally sign a treaty, and how will you deal with this situation?"

Qin Zheng said: "Whether the negotiations will continue, this is not something we can decide. Therefore, if the Qing government and other countries continue to negotiate, we will not stop it. However, we will not recognize any results reached by the negotiations. Any treaty signed is not binding on us. We will act on all actions we think are correct."

Another reporter immediately said: "Political Commissar Qin, your behavior this time is obviously contrary to the resolution of the Qing government. You just admitted that you are not a subordinate of the Qing government. If the Qing government decides not to accept you, but to expel you, how will you respond? Should you respect the resolution of the Qing government, leave the Chinese National Six, or insist on staying and not leaving? What is it to confront the Qing government by force."

After asking this question, it immediately caused a lot of discussion, because this question not only has a certain sense of provocation, but is very difficult to answer. Whether Qin Zheng's answer is left or left, it is not appropriate. Therefore, everyone wanted to hear how Qin Zheng would answer. Of course, some people were worried whether Qin Zheng would attack the Qing court again this time.

Qin Zheng said: "We cannot predict or stop what decisions the Qing government has made. However, since we returned to China, all actions have been to safeguard China's interests, and have successively taken back the Tianjin Concession, Weihaiwei Concession, and Qingdao Concession, which were forcibly rented from the Qing government by various countries, and have revoked the sovereignty and effectively maintained China's sovereignty. Moreover, during this Shanghai negotiation, we also tried our best to fight for China's interests in the negotiations. Therefore, everything we did is clear conscience. No matter what we have in the future, we will never regret what we have done."

After Qin Zheng finished speaking, after a long time, everyone did not come back to their senses. Is this the answer finished? But he did not say that he was staying or leaving. So what does this answer mean? Of course, many people were relieved. No matter what, overseas Chinese did not attack the Qing court again this time.

In fact, the answer is foggy, which makes people feel confused. This is the specialty of Chinese news spokespersons in the old time and space. This is the so-called diplomatic slander. When encountering sharp and difficult questions in everything, Chinese news spokespersons will use this trick to easily resolve the difficult answers. But behind the answers under the clouds, there are actually a lot of information hidden, but only those who have a considerable study of Chinese culture and language can understand the hidden meanings of these words. Of course, in the old time and space, all countries have scholars who study China, so it is not difficult to divide China's diplomatic slander.

Although Qin Zheng is not a news spokesperson, he has learned four or five points through his experience. For example, in this passage of Qin Zheng's answer, he first counts the military achievements of the time traveler, which is actually a threat to the Qing court. If we can beat foreigners, we can naturally beat the Qing court. When we point out that Tianjin, Weihai and Jingdao are all foreign concessions, we are telling the Qing court that the land you lost was taken back by us and wanted to drive us away, but we didn't even have a door. In the end, he expressed that he did not regret what he did, but he understood that he wanted to force us to leave the land of China, so he could not think about it. Although foreigners who were in the market may not understand these diplomatic slander, Qin Zheng believed that Empress Dowager Cixi and Li Hongzhang would definitely understand it, otherwise they would never be able to get to where they are today.

After answering a few more questions, Qin Zheng announced that the press conference was over, and most of the reporters left with complicated moods. Although overseas Chinese also revealed a lot of information during this press conference, it was a pity that it was too fierce and the reporters didn’t know if it could be used. Only foreign journalists were very happy, and now there was big news again.

After the press conference, Qin Zheng immediately ordered all the personnel to pack up their things and move out of the Licha Hotel immediately to the Shanghai office that the time traveler had just purchased. At the same time, he also found Smith, the manager of the Licha Hotel, to complete the check-out procedures.

In fact, there are no substantive procedures, because the time traveler's accommodation and catering expenses at the Licha Hotel are paid by the consulates of various countries, and there is no need for time travelers to pay. However, the time traveler withdraws from the negotiations and can no longer live in the Licha Hotel for free. Moreover, the time traveler has bought a property in Shanghai to do business, so he naturally leaves immediately. Therefore, the check-out procedures are just a formality, and even if the time traveler leaves silently, it doesn't matter. Of course, the time traveler will not do this, and always has to say hello to the hotel.

However, Manager Smith did not want the time travelers to leave. First, consulates from various countries paid for their food and accommodation, and second, the time travelers had caused several consecutive sensations in Shanghai. There were several news conferences held at the Licha Hotel alone, so the reputation of the Licha Hotel has also increased greatly. This is simply a free advertisement. It can be said that the Licha Hotel has made a lot of money to receive time travelers.

Smith is a businessman, and he doesn't care about the outcome of the Shanghai negotiations. Since the time traveler can bring benefits to him when he lives in a hotel, he hopes that the time traveler can stay in the Licha Hotel for a few more days. Therefore, when the time traveler is about to check out, he makes a statement to keep the time traveler and continue to stay in the Licha Hotel, and says that the time traveler can be exempted from the accommodation costs.
