Chapter 18: The Sino-Japanese Fight
"This little lady Xue, can't you just spit out the tea if you spit it out, and you have to swallow it hard? If you drink it and spoil your stomach, then what's the matter! β
Lu Tie's eyes were tightly attracted by Xue Yingchun's fragrant shoulders and thin back, and he looked at the already empty door with a worried expression. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Pss
He Changying couldn't hold back her laughter, she laughed out with a red face, and when she saw Lu Tie's legs looking over unhappily, she hurriedly suppressed her belly and said, "Mr. Lu Qian, you just have to put a thousand hearts, she will definitely not drink bad stomach." β
A hundred years later, for the sake of good health, many people get up early every day and fill a large glass of their own urine, not to mention longevity, at least they have not heard of drinking bad people.
Lu Tiejiao looked at He Changying with a vigilant look on his face and said, "Are you so sure?" β
"Overnight - tea only, she is just psychological, so she wants to vomit; It's all water, not poison. β
He Changying pursed her lips, feeling a headache in her heart, not knowing how this aunt and grandmother would clean herself up when she came back in a while.
"Psychological factorsββ, Lu Tieleg was startled, "She won't be pregnant, right?" β
"Damn, you can really think about it!"
He Changying scolded angrily, doesn't this tease know that his legs are injured?
Feelings come in not to see themselves, but to think that the hook girl is coming!
"Brother Changying, what you just said to Wei Yang is tantamount to a slap in the face, it is simply deafening; Thank you. β
Wu Weiyang stood straight and gave a standard Western-style military salute to He Changying very seriously.
Wu Weiyang's handsome and hard face line as carved by a knife and axe made He Changying's eyes light up when he looked at it, and he thought jealously in his heart why his brother was not reborn in this guy's body.
Then you can definitely spend your whole life in the 'rumbling cannon', and you can play a first-class stunning 13!
"The country is weak, and the bigwigs of our court are still lying in the glory of defeating the great power of France in 1885, and do not want to wake up, but they do not know that our greatest enemy is not the distant continent of Europe, but by our side;"
He Changying looked up at Wu Weiyang, who had a resolute face, and said, "Under the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly? This war is inevitable, and it is already here! But our adults, the old middle hall is still daydreaming! β
"He Changying, you kid don't want to die? Nakado-sama's mind is also something you can guess! β
Lu Tieleg said with a bull's eye: "No wonder Lord Wu asked me to quickly drive you out of the Jinmen guard, just because I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to control your big tongue; Orientals are counted? Lao Tzu destroys them like a snap! β
"Yes, I don't speak, do I?"
He Changying smiled bitterly and sighed in her heart.
Before the Sino-Japanese War broke out, the entire Western world did not think that the Manchus had any chance of victory.
On the 27th after the Gao Sheng incident, the Prime Minister's Yamen Minister Yi Xuan urgently met with the British Minister to China, Ogne, who later wrote in the minutes of the meeting:
I told the Prince...... If he will allow me to speak frankly on a personal behalf, I would like to ask whether, in the event of a real war, should China decide to strike quickly, would he think it would have the strength to deal a heavy blow to the adversary.
The prince hesitated for a few minutes, and after looking around at his colleagues for a week, he grunted, expressing doubts about their current ability to compete successfully with Toyo.
It was a harrowing scene, but I continued: That's where it comes in. β¦β¦ Although I am not as well-informed as the Prince, I still have important reason to doubt whether China will succeed in resisting the sudden and powerful aggression of the East.
As a matter of fact, on the issue of dealing with the Gao Sheng incident, Britain's official attitude has been very clearly hinted at in the conversation between Ogne and Prime Minister Yamen Yixuan, 'This is precisely where the key lies'.
However, because of the seclusion, ignorance, and ignorance of the Manchu officials, they easily ignored this sentence of Eugene.
There is nothing about fairness, let alone justice, the so-called international legal principles can be discarded as a piece of toilet paper at any time in a strategic sense related to the survival of the country and the hegemony of the world.
Britain needed to have a force in the Far East to contain the Russian Empire, and Dongyang and the Qing Dynasty were like two boxers in the boxing ring, and only the winning side could win the support of Britain and share the dividends of the victors that followed.
Compared with the structure of this worldwide power map, the death of several British people and the sinking of a merchant ship on the Gao Sheng are really no more trivial things.
So the current situation is that the 'fighters' on the Toyo side have already sharpened their knives and stepped into the ring.
And the Manchu boxer, but still lying on the bed waiting for 'international mediation'.
On the other hand, within the Qing Dynasty, from Guangxu, Cixi, Li Hongzhang, Qingliu Jingguan ministers, feudal officials, down to the entire Huai army, green camps, training troops, and even rich people, pawns, and hawkers, they are still all sleeping in the dream of the first big country in the East.
thinks that even if you can't win against the Taixi countries, you can beat Luo Quan'er in the land of projectiles, then it's not easy to capture?
Now the disagreement between the Manchu Qing center is that Cixi is troublesome and unwilling to fight, Li Hongzhang is distressed about money and has no money, and he doesn't want his Huai army to go to the top post and doesn't want to fight, while Guangxu and Weng Tongyi want to take advantage of this war to take power, slowly marginalize Lafayette, and let her honestly retire with peace of mind.
All of them are thinking about their own interests, planning, calculating.
But they didn't realize that this was a national war.
This little neighbor they look down on is doing everything in the power of the whole country to fight a life-and-death fight with the Manchus!
He Changying felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, since he didn't speculate for more than half a sentence, he didn't want to waste his tongue anymore.
Besides, if he was called to Wu Congqi by Lu Tiejiao's small report, and then put on a charge of slandering state affairs and slandering the court, and was arrested and cut down, then he would be the grievance of death.
For a while, He Changying lay on the bed silently, Lu Tiejiao frequently looked at the door secretly, Wu Weiyang lowered his head and looked thoughtful, and the room fell into silence.
"Your 'Our greatest enemy is not the distant continent, but by our borders.' It's a sobering thing to say, and I remember that Lord Wu also said in a casual chat that Lord Zhongtang also had this kind of worry. β
Wu Weiyang looked at He Changying, who was lying on the bed silently, with admiration and said: "But there are 100,000 Huai troops, there are tens of thousands of training troops, and we are not bad at weapons, I dare not say that we will drive the Orientals out of Korea, and there should be no problem with the confrontation between the north and the south; The Battle of Toshima was fought against three ironclad ships in the Oriental Ocean, so it was defeated, but our Beiyang Naval Division was the strongest army in Asia, and it was not a problem to win a tie if we didn't talk about defeating the warships of the Eastern Ocean. β
Speaking of this, Wu Weiyang's face showed a holy light: "The general died in a hundred battles, and the horse leather shroud returned; My generation put a good youth to join the army, isn't it just to fight for the imperial court! I really hope that one day, I can see that China will stand among the world's great powers and no longer be slaughtered by the great powers. β
