668 Operation Protector
After that small class ended, Xiao Lotian did not hold any more small classes for more than half a month, and everyone was depressed, especially the little emperor who had been working very hard in military training since that day, and the eleven-year-old child Shimazu Daro had given him some care, but Zaichun didn't want anything.
An eleven-year-old child has the same intensity of military training as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child, if it weren't for Long Ye's desperate addition of Chinese medicine to regulate his body, Zaichun would have been exhausted.
Zaichun in the historical records is a typical smart but poor health, and his studies are also relatively top-notch among the emperors of the Qing Dynasty in the past dynasties, but the difference in body is also famous, the wild history says that Zaichun died of flower willow disease, and the official history says that Zaichun died of smallpox.
No matter how he died, you can just look at the portrait of Emperor Zaichun left by later generations, and the weak one doesn't look like one.
Thanks to these three months of military training, when the heat wave of early summer began to sweep through the Ryukyus, Emperor Tongzhi had already changed his appearance, his skin was dark and his body was strong, and he could see a few muscles bulging in his arms.
But Zaichun was in a very bad mood during this time, and the tragic situation of the fall of the Ming Dynasty has been going back and forth in her dreams, how many times he dreamed that the Taihe Temple collapsed, and countless thugs rushed into the Forbidden City to kill all the people inside, and he stood on the top of the coal mountain like Chongzhen and hanged himself.
What's even more strange is that the master Weng Tongyong, who he has always trusted in his dream, turned into an executioner with a butcher's knife in his hand at that moment, and a child of the royal family died under his knife.
The ten-year-old child is the period when the outlook on life is shaped, and when he met Xiao Lotian at this age, I don't know if it was his luck.
King Shangtai was also shocked, during this time he didn't read much Confucian classics, but read Xiao Letian's various class notes hard, and went to the private service on weekdays to communicate with businessmen.
In the final preparation time before going abroad, they held various small vows in series, and even made a blood oath to return to China after completing their studies together, and to use their own strength to wage war against those bureaucrats.
The prime minister has long said that ideas are immortal, whether they are good or bad, they all exist eternally in human society, and what we have to do is to strive to make good ideas fight the dominant position of society.
"To make it clear, we awakened new literati should strive to do our best, make our group larger, and let our influence become wider and wider, we are role models, let all Chinese people see with their own eyes, who should we believe?"
"I swear that during my study abroad, I will not covet the prosperity of a foreign country, I will not slack off my desire to study, I will not waver in my loyalty to the prime minister, and I will not taint all the dirty ...... of bureaucratic thinking."
"I vow to do my best to work for the rejuvenation of the nation, and to burn myself to illuminate others......"
In the classrooms, various small societies are gathering together to make their vows in the candlelight, and the day of departure is getting closer and closer.
Perhaps this group of students did it on purpose, the speech record of the prime minister's private small class was actually circulated, and Hu Xueyan, who was about to leave the Ryukyus, held the thick pile of hand-copied manuscripts and cried like a child.
Every word spoken by politicians is extremely important, so since ancient times, emperors and generals, including later presidents and prime ministers, have been cautious in their words and deeds.
Maybe those democratically elected presidents who play speeches can talk a little bigger, but the leader-level politicians who really hold the military and political power can't say a word casually.
Because all the words will become evidence for the people to speculate about your governance, Xiao Letian's speech in this small class has already determined the future pattern of Ryukyu mercantilism, and all the businessmen in East Asia are happy to hear it.
If you reuse businessmen, you will definitely support businessmen, in fact, Xiao Letian doesn't have to support businessmen too much, as long as his army can provide protection, businessmen sometimes just need a little sense of security.
As soon as Hu Xueyan returned to Jiangnan, he began to secretly connect with close merchants, according to the information sent back by the spies in the torture hall, after reading the quotations of the prime minister, countless big merchants in Jiangnan cried like children, and the grievances of thousands of years were all washed away today.
Many businesses began to send core members of the family to Ryukyu for inspection, and the shopkeeper Fan Yao was already busy during this time, and there were countless peers who feasted every day.
Hearing is false, seeing is believing, and some wealthy merchants in Jiangnan tried to move their headquarters to Ryukyu at that time, and later Cai Mao, under Xiao Letian's secret order, conducted a naval live-fire exercise, and the batteries in Shuri Castle fired three shots in a row.
The warships, batteries, and the shouts of the new army shook the earth, and the new army made businessmen from all over the world stunned, and there were also foreign merchant ships in the exercise to salute with fun.
The living reality reassures all the merchants, those gods of wealth in Jiangnan have just experienced a Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement, and this is the time for timidity, and many people are transferring wealth to the Shanghai Concession.
However, at that time, the Chinese were not as admiring and flattering as after the First Afternoon, and compared with the Shanghai Concession, the Ryukyu of the same species was more attractive.
For a time, the Ryukyu merchants gathered, and the wealth and nobility on the street could smoke people's heads, and a strange case that occurred in June strengthened the confidence of Jiangnan businessmen.
On 10 June, Chen Qiyuan, a Taoist in Shanghai, sent troops on the Yangtze River to intercept the silk cargo ship of the Liu family in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and found 200,000 yuan worth of tobacco and soil from the cabin, and the Liu family was charged with the crime of smuggling tobacco and soil.
Shanghai Dao interrogated the seven shopkeepers of the Liu family, and they did not try or sentence, but were just imprisoned in a prison cell, and as long as the Liu family went to inquire, they would shirk it under the pretext that the case was being investigated.
The Liu family knew that this was an excuse for Lord Daotai to ask for bribes, and those tobacco and soil were originally framed, and the Liu family, as a merchant of the times, did not understand.
Chen Qiyuan angrily reprimanded the innocent for why he offered bribes? This proves that your Liu family smuggled tobacco and soil, and the crime is unforgivable.
This time, the torture began, and the shopkeeper was also the flesh and blood of the young master of the Liu family who was beaten, knowing that in the end the Liu family almost broke the family before he figured out the truth of the matter.
It turned out that Lord Daotai not only fell in love with the Liu family's silver, but also fell in love with the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family, and tried every means to destroy the family and get the woman.
The grandfather of the Liu family was sad and angry, and shouted three injustices before he died, and he did not look at death.
The Liu family is not a giant merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, and his family's property is only 1.8 million taels, such a businessman is a little ant in the eyes of Daotai, even if he is crushed to death, it is just a city and a place where people know, a huge Qing country, who knows such a small Liu family.
What if the reputation is bad, after the silver is in hand, he leaves here in a loud voice, and he is still a clean official in other places.
The transmission of information in the late Qing Dynasty was very backward, and the lawlessness of local officials would not be spread out, and many middle-class families were exterminated, and the next state and county may not know about it, so the officials at that time were very bold.
Generally speaking, the grievances of the Liu family may not be able to be redressed, the smoke is true, the bribery is also true, the Daotai is at most a heavy sentence, who can blame your family for their own illness?
At the end of June, at the mouth of the Yangtze River, a warship with the flag of the Ryukyu King and the banner of the character Xiao was the captured Roman, and this warship under the command of Sima Yun and Luo Huo forcibly broke through the border and killed the land of the Qing Dynasty with 400 new troops.
The soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were frightened crazy, and the new army of the Ryukyus had gradually become mythical in their hearts, and even the foreigners were no opponents, so they were expected to resist?
There was no resistance at all, two blue torrents, one went to the concession to negotiate with the foreigners, and the other went straight to the Daotai Yamen, blocking the Daotai who was smoking a lot of cigarettes on the bed.
"The silk business of the Liu family in Jiangnan, including the shares of Lotte & Co., what right does Shanghai Province have to punish our property in the Ryukyus......?
"The Prime Minister decrees that the interests of Ryukyu merchants are sacrosanct, and even if they are judged, we will be judged by the Ryukyus...... Now you can release me obediently!"
Rulin's bayonet rushed into the Daotai Mansion, the Daotai who smoked a lot of cigarettes peed his pants on the spot, and the Colt in Luo Huo's hand pushed the master's head, and the rat-bearded master suddenly knelt on the ground, answering whatever he asked.
The old and steady Sima Yun blocked the concession entrance, and on the opposite side was the accusation of the British and French officers, but in exchange for Sima Yun's smile, he replied in proficient English.
"Dear friends, we are here to protect our friends, Shanghai Dao has robbed the property of the Ryukyus, of course we want to seek justice, please rest assured, this is the internal affairs of the Chinese, and it will definitely not harm your interests......"
Many of the soldiers behind Sima Yun were European expeditionary forces, and a few of them said "Hi" in English with a smile...... My friend on the other side, are you French? I've been to Besançon, and I've drunk your French, but I'm sorry we didn't pay ......."
The noses of the French soldiers were crooked, and the encounter on the Franco-Swiss border was a shame for France, and these despicable Chinese poured salt into their wounds.
But if you lose, you lose, Xiao Letian's new army is famous in Europe, and its combat effectiveness has reached the world's top level, and the police and soldiers in Shanghai are not their opponents.
Four hours later, the New Army began to retreat, and they took away all the people of the Liu family in the cell, as well as witnesses and testimonies, and the New Army did not arrest Lord Daotai.
Luo Huo patted Lord Daotai's face, "Go home and listen to the ginseng, don't forget that Your Majesty is by the Prime Minister's side, Your Majesty will definitely be tried by the royal court in this case......"
The new army met no resistance, they made their way through the city, boarded a warship and left Shanghai, and three days later the whole of Jiangnan was fried.
