The same continent and the same kind of text are the dearest
According to the "Qing Barnyard Banknotes", during the Guangxu Penghu period, Huang Zunxian was sent to Japan, and guangxu's purpose was to unite with Japan. Those who drafted edicts for the emperor were written according to the emperor's wishes and then submitted them to Guangxu to read, and Guangxu was very dissatisfied after reading it, so he put forward his pen and added nine words before the "Emperor of the Great Japan" with the words "the most dearest of the same kind of language in the same continent" to show the sincerity of the union. He also modified a lot of other words in the text.

How to negotiate with foreigners with "leper cavity"
According to the "Gengzi Xi hunting series talk", when Li Hongzhang was transferred from Nanyang to Beiyang to replace Zeng Guofan, Zeng Guofan asked him how he would deal with foreigners in the future. Li Hongzhang replied: "The protégé did not have any ideas, I think, to negotiate with foreigners, no matter what, I will only fight with him." Zeng Guofan listened, with five fingers of whiskers, for a long time without speaking, Xu Xu said: "Oh, the cavity of the leper, the cavity of the leper, I don't know how to play, you try to play with me to listen." When Li Hongzhang heard that the teacher was dissatisfied with the answer, he quickly changed his speech and said: "The protégé is talking nonsense, wrong, and asks the teacher for advice." Zeng Guofan was again overwhelmed, and looked at Li Hongzhang for a long time, saying: "In my opinion, it is still necessary to use a 'sincere' word, sincerity can impress people, and I think foreigners also understand this person' feelings." It is better to be honest and honest, to see each other sincerely, and to think that this is always a little more reliable than the leper cavity. "The so-called leper cavity is the native language of the Anhui central region, and to put it bluntly, it is a rogue cavity. Li Hongzhang, who is from Hefei, probably wanted to use the green-skinned gangsters in his hometown to deal with foreigners. However, Zeng Guofan's mind was still clear, knowing that foreigners would not eat this set, so he still advocated that he should speak honestly and with strength.
