The time travelers did not participate in the negotiations between Li Hongzhang and various countries, but after the negotiations are over every day, Li Hongzhang would personally come to the time travelers to explain the content of the negotiations that day, because Li Hongzhang knew very well that if there were no overseas Chinese nodding and agreeing, it would be useless even if the negotiations were completed.

Originally, the basic principle determined by the time traveler was to not cede land or pay compensation. However, in order to negotiate an agreement with each other as soon as possible, Li Hongzhang repeatedly persuaded the time traveler to appropriately compensate the country for some silver, so that the countries can live up to their face and make it easier to negotiate a treaty as soon as possible. The time traveler also considered that the silver was issued by the Qing court and the treaty was signed by the Qing court, and it had nothing to do with the time traveler. Therefore, it was still acceptable to compensate a small amount of silver, but a upper limit was set for Li Hongzhang, which could not exceed 30,000 taels of silver.

However, the matter of cede land and allowing countries to station in mainland China is absolutely impossible to be compatible. Qin Zheng warned Li Hongzhang that if a inch of land is cedeed and a soldier is allowed in mainland China, the Qing court would not have to go back to Beijing, and he would take root in Beijing, which scared Li Hongzhang out of a cold sweat. Therefore, he insisted on cedeing the negotiations and coerced to terminate the negotiations. There was no way for all countries to do it. Although they had negotiated an agreement with overseas Chinese, it would still be useless if they did not negotiate with the Qing court. After all, the Chinese ruler is still the Qing court, and overseas Chinese have not yet replaced it. Moreover, now all countries really have no choice but to agree to Li Hongzhang's request, and even the compensation was only 20,000 silver, which was 10,000 silver less than the upper limit set by time travelers.

After Li Hongzhang sent the terms agreed to the Qing court in Xi'an, from Cixi to Guangxu to civil and military ministers, they were all happy, not because of the small compensation, no cede land, and no sovereignty, but because of the promises of various countries not to pursue the Qing court's responsibility. This means that the group of officials who supported the Boxer Rebellion, including Cixi, would not be subject to sanctions.

When Li Hongzhang was ordered to negotiate peace with various countries, when he first arrived in Shanghai, he suggested to the Qing court to immediately deal with those officials who had strongly supported the Boxer Rebellion and the foreigners to go to war with foreigners. It can be said that most of the officials in Xi'an had supported the Boxer Rebellion at that time, including Cixi, which caused a stir of panic at that time, including foreigners to force her to return to power in Guangxu, and was in panic all day long.

Later, when overseas Chinese came to Middle-earth, this panic calmed down. Now that the negotiations are restarted, many people became nervous. Although time travelers are not afraid of various countries, for the Qing court, this is still a foreigner who cannot be provoked. If foreigners must pursue those officials who support the Boxer Rebellion, they may still be unable to escape. No one is sure whether overseas Chinese will come forward to protect them. Some people wonder whether overseas Chinese would want to use the knife of foreigners to get rid of all the people and the empress dowagers, so that they can control the power.

Li Hongzhang was also very clear about the mentality of the group, so he put the principle of not holding each other accountable to appease everyone. As a result, on the same day, Li Hongzhang received a reply from the Qing court, fully accepting these terms and requiring Li Hongzhang to sign a contract with foreigners immediately to avoid long nights of dreams.

However, the final signing still has to wait until the one-on-one negotiations between Time Travelers and various countries are over. At this time, the exhibition and concert held by Time Travelers in Shanghai finally officially kicked off. Time Travelers also invited celebrities from all walks of life to visit and watch.

Exhibitions and concerts are held in Anyidi (arnetbsp;ha11) in Zhangyuan, Shanghai.

Shanghai Zhangyuan is located in Lane 59o, Weihai Road, south of Nanjing West Road and west of Shimen Road. It is located in the area of ​​the southern end of Taixing Road, west of Shimen Road. Its area is farmland and was built into a garden by British businessman Gelong in 1878. On August 16, 1882, Zhang Shuhe, a wealthy businessman from Wuxi, Jiangsu, purchased this garden from Heji Foreign Company. At that time, the total area was 21 acres and named it "Zhangshi Weiluyuan", abbreviated as Zhangyuan. Since then, Zhang Shuhe has repeatedly added and repaired the garden. By 1894, the entire garden area reached 61.52 acres, making it the largest private garden in Shanghai.

Zhangyuan was officially opened to the public on April 17, 1885. The park was originally charged for admission. After the completion of Anhei in 1893, it was changed to free, but the establishment of various service facilities was charged for the fee.

Annil is the most famous building in Zhangyuan. It was built on September 12, 1892. It was designed by King**i11, t.., a British engineer of Youheng Foreign Company and Ann Jingsheng (b.atkinson), and was built by He Zuan, a famous craftsman in western Zhejiang. In English, arnetbsp;ha11 is a building, which means a paradise, and the Chinese name is homophonic to "Annil". The whole building is tall and majestic, divided into two floors, and there is a huge central hall that can accommodate thousands of people in one room. There is also a corner building on the side of the building. It was the highest building in Shanghai at that time. Looking up at the distance, the scenery of the whole Shanghai is fully visible. Moreover, there is a vast lawn in front of Annil, which can accommodate thousands of people. It is the best place for large indoor and outdoor mass gatherings. Of course, it is also the best place for time travelers to hold exhibitions and concerts.

In the old time and space, around 19oo, Zhang Yuan gradually became a large-scale Shanghai assembly center and political center in the late Qing Dynasty. It was the place for gatherings and speeches from all walks of life in Shanghai at that time. Major political activities such as rejecting the law, rejecting Russia, rejecting Japan, rejecting the United States, protecting the road, autonomy, and commemoration were mostly held in Zhang Yuan. One of the most familiar events for time travelers was that in 19o9, the martial artist Huo Yuanjia set up a bell to challenge the foreign strongman Obiyin in Zhang Yuan. Although Obiyin escaped at the battle and did not dare to face the battle, Huo Yuanjia became famous because of this battle and completed the upgrade from a martial artist to a martial artist. From a historical perspective, the greatest significance of this battle is that it flourished countless film and television screens in later generations.

Zhang Shuhe, the owner of Zhang Yuan, whose real name was Honglu and whose courtesy name was Shuhe, was from Hanxi Bridge, Dongmen, Wuxi, Jiangsu. He was originally a sponsor of Shanghai Shipbuilding Merchants, who operated maritime transportation and grain rice. Later, he was specialized in grain rice affairs, which was also considered to be somewhat intriguing with Li Hongzhang. In March 1896, Li Hongzhang was ordered to participate in the ascension of Russian Tsar Nicholas II, and set off from Shanghai. Shanghai officials and businessmen held a banquet at An'an's Day in Zhangyuan to give him farewells. However, in 1887, Zhang Shuhe left Shipbuilding Merchants and was committed to industry. In addition to operating Zhang Yuan, he owned shares in the Newspaper, Huasheng Textile Factory and other enterprises. He also completed the transformation from a comprador like an industrialist.

When the time traveler proposed to borrow Zhang Yuan's Anyidi to hold an exhibition and concert, Uncle Zhang agreed immediately, and promised not to collect the venue rental fee. On the one hand, Li Hongzhang's affection. On the other hand, after the battle at Shanhaiguan, the reputation of overseas Chinese was at its peak. They held events in Zhang Yuan's Anyidi, which had an immeasurable value in enhancing Zhang Yuan's brand effect, which was not comparable to this little money.

In addition, Zhang Shuhe has some thoughts. During this period, he has been introduced to Zhao Weizhong. At this time, Zhao Weizhong was not satisfied with buying goods from Shanghai to Tianjin for sale and earning the difference. Instead, he planned to open an industrial factory in Tianjin and was recruiting people to join shares. Zhang Shukou had originally planned to start an industry, so he was quite moved. Moreover, he also learned about many overseas Chinese from Zhao Weizhong. He knew that overseas Chinese valued business and encouraged merchants to start an industry. Now that he had this opportunity to make friends with overseas Chinese, he naturally would not let it go.

The time traveler will naturally not be unsuccessful. After several negotiations, the two parties finally decided to rent Anyi for the first month. Moreover, all members of the time traveler lived in Zhangyuan this time. At the same time, they were also responsible for providing tea, snacks, food and other related services for the time traveler, with a total cost of 10,000 taels of silver. This is a very cheap price. According to the price of this era, the first day of Anyi is about 50 taels of silver, plus 12 taels of silver for tea room, and 12 taels of electricity and lights at night; the kitchen banquets are held, and each table ranges from 5-10 taels of rice. Of course, this is the price of ordinary banquets, and it is a different matter. Sheng Xuanhuai once held a banquet in Anyi and spent a total of 150 taels of silver. Therefore, 10,000 taels of silver can only be considered as a cost at most.

After the delegation moved into Zhangyuan, Zhang Shuhe immediately closed Zhangyuan and asked the travelers to prepare. The exhibition and concert were held in the lobby of Anyidi. This time the exhibition was mainly composed of picture boards, and there were also a large number of physical objects, so they were all arranged in the corridor area. The first floor mainly displayed picture boards, while the second floor displayed physical objects. Moreover, Anyidi originally had electric lights, so it can also be exhibited at night.

The choir set up a performance stage in the lobby, arranged some stage lights, hung curtains, and set up spotlights on the corridors on both sides, so that the concert and exhibition can be held at the same time. In addition, the time traveler also brought two small motors, which can fully ensure the power supply. After the stage was arranged, the choir conducted another formal rehearsal with the lights, achieving very good results. The responsible team of the concert was very satisfied and believed that this was better than the audition in Tianjin.

In addition, this time the traveler also brought a set of camera equipment and film printing equipment, which of course were removed from the passenger and roulette boat. It turned out that the responsibility group also considered that the choir's energy was limited and could only perform one performance every day. Although Annde could accommodate thousands of people, it was also relatively limited. Therefore, he decided to record the concert and usually use the form of film screening to allow more people to watch the concert.

In this regard, Zhang Shuhe even raised his hands to agree that the first movie screening in China was in Xuyuan, Shanghai in June 1896, but was only for relatives and friends to watch. Just the following year, Zhang Yuan also introduced movies. Therefore, Zhang Shuhe was naturally happy to hear that overseas Chinese have movies and were screened in Anyi.

In addition, the time traveler also negotiated with Uncle Zhang that no fees were charged for all exhibitions and concerts, and was completely open to all Shanghai people. However, three days before the event was held, it was only open to the public in the afternoon and evening, because in the morning, the gentry, celebrities and others from all Shanghai were invited to conduct concert performances after visiting the exhibition.

At the same time, time travelers also considered that such large-scale activities are very likely to happen, and they cannot be taken lightly after the incident of having a Japanese intelligence base. Moreover, although Anhedi can accommodate thousands of people, because it is fully open, a large number of people can flow in. Therefore, if the personnel diversion plan is not made in advance, accidents may be prone to occur.
