"Japanese...... Catch this Japanese!" A group of idlers rushed over like a wind, and the three Japanese envoys, whose faces were all white with fright, loudly defended themselves in strange Chinese.

"We are envoys of Japan...... The two countries are at war without slashing the ...... Not to mention that our two countries are peaceful...... Peace!"

Shintaro hid in a corner under the protection of two entourage, he really didn't understand that he had obviously numbered a house and came to the Rifan to register his address, and it would be easy for the Rifan to find them in the future.

Why was he attacked by the Qing people for just such a small matter, but when he saw a large number of people without thumbs mixed in the crowd, a chill broke down his spine.

It's broken, how did you meet this group of garbage people who are so bad that they are in the bone marrow? Who in the entire Sijiu City now doesn't know that this group of Eight Banner idlers who are missing their thumbs are already the head of the wicked people who can stop crying.

Shoot flowers, touch porcelain, set up gambling games, go out of the old man, and jump ...... immortals Anyway, they do all kinds of bad things, and everyone knows that this group of half-cripples is already broken.

There was a muffled snap, and the head of an entourage was scooped open with a half-pull of the brick, and the blood flowed down the fingers, and the crowd burst into laughter, "Haha, it's a good fight, this group of little people who dare to assassinate His Majesty have to clean them up like this......"

The students in the crowd didn't expect things to develop to this extent, so why didn't they allow us to say a few words in righteous words?

But the helpless scholar still wanted to stop such atrocities, it was simply impossible, and a rain of garbage crackled and smashed the three Japanese envoys into a daze.

If it was just garbage, Shintaro and they would have endured it, but they didn't expect that there were black bricks in it, and the heads of the three people smashed were bleeding, which looked very terrifying.

"We are envoys of Japan...... You can't attack me like this......" Shintaro kept shouting for help, but there were a dozen veterans guarding the door in the courtyard, and he couldn't control them at all.

We can't die in vain...... Fight with them!" Shintaro pulled out a small knife from his bosom and killed the enemy.

The remaining two bloodied attendants also drew their swords and rushed forward, but no matter how fierce they were, there were only three of them, and this counterattack gave this group of thugs the truth to kill.

"Look, they have knives in their arms, and they don't look like good people, maybe they want to assassinate the minister of the DPRK and the central government and kill him......" The crowd swarmed up, like a wave swallowing up three small boats.

By the time Prince Yiyun and college student Weng Tongyi rode horses and led the troops to the Li Fan Courtyard, the most ferocious Eight Banner idlers had already fled without a shadow, only a group of pale students looked at the three bloody corpses on the ground and trembled like chaff.

Since ancient times, students have been fanatical, especially the sour literati who have read too much and read stupidly, but they always think that they are all-rounders in civil and military affairs.

If you go to the battlefield and really see the scene of the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, it is estimated that the first person to go crazy is these literati who are stupid in reading.

Weng Tong's angry hands trembled, and he pointed to the students one by one, "You guys...... You guys...... Are you going to rebel? State affairs have reached this point of difficulty, and you are still adding to the chaos!"

"Master......" all the students shouted aggrievedly, "We are also for the good of the imperial court! The Qing Dynasty can't go on like this, and we can't beat the British and French powers, so now even the Japanese are bullying us?"

Prince Alcohol's nose was about to be crooked, "What do you say? It's super good? If you don't help, even if we burn high incense...... Now that the imperial court is discussing how to deal with Japan, you might as well kill three Japanese envoys directly, which will be very detrimental to us at the negotiation table......"

What Yi Xun said was not wrong at all, Japan originally accounted for ten percent of the responsibility, but as a result, the lives of these three envoys were lost, and the Qing Kingdom instead shared three or four percent of the responsibility for him, and now it became a problem for both sides.

If you can compensate 1 million taels before, now let this group of students make such a fuss, it would be good to be able to compensate 600,000 yuan. Even if you let the Western countries adjust, people will have to say, 'You have killed other people's envoys, what do you want?' After all, Emperor Tongzhi is in danger!'"

These Confucian scholars who have been brainwashed by the Celestial Empire will not understand this kind of truth, and young people who are too idealistic naturally reject this idea of compromise.

However, governing the country is like cooking a small meal, and there is no such thing as going to death between countries or even between various factions in the country, and there must be compromises between them at the same time, and this is the right principle of development.

But the fanatical students will not understand, and they dare not speak up openly in the face of the identity of Prince Alcohol, but everyone's eyes are full of disdain.

"Everyone went home and thought about it behind closed doors! When the results of the court's disposition did not come out, whoever dared to make trouble would expel him from school and remove his reputation...... Let's go!"

Weng Tong was furious, these students did not dare to talk back to the literati leader, and went home one by one, and the officials of Shuntianfu hurriedly stepped forward to collect the corpses.

At the same time, in the Jingshan Qiwang Tower, the meeting could not go on, and the core issue was still a money word.

Prince Gong said in a deep voice: "Of course this king is in favor of sending troops to punish Japan, and he is in favor of raising his hands, but how can the money be solved? Now the summer grain tax is still in the hands of the local government, and it has not been sent to Beijing at all, and even if it is sent, it will only be more than 3 million......

"It is said that the dynasty pays tens of millions of taxes a year, but who has calculated the expenses? wars, river workers, indemnities for foreigners, and the salaries of hundreds of officials...... Of course, the salary of Eight Banners is also a big head, and it is not easy to run such a family!"

Ci'an suddenly said at this time, "You all say that the Englishman Hurd is in charge of the customs, and he has done a good job over the years, can't he squeeze out some of it?"

Hubu Shangshu shook his head and sighed, "The Queen Mother doesn't know, there are three taxes in the dynasty, the taxes of summer grain and autumn grain, as well as the commercial tax of domestic merchants' trade, and finally the customs customs tariff, which is roughly divided into three......"

"There are so many taxes on grain, and three million taels will come to an end, after all, land is not created out of thin air, and there will be no major changes in grain production...... As for the domestic commercial tax due to the troubles in the south, it has only just recovered in the past few years, and it will be the end of the year to be able to maintain three or four million a year......"

"As for the tariffs, although they are being collected more and more, Hurd must pay the treaty reparations to Britain and France every year in accordance with the rules of the treaty...... It's hard to get him to pay more!"
