Chapter 395: The Great Demonstration in the Capital

Two days later, Luo Er did not apologize to the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, nor did he convict the two missionaries, but only believed that there were loopholes in their management.

At that time, Zhang Zhidong did not say anything, but as soon as the time of two days arrived, Luo Yang came forward, and he sent Zhang Zhidong to make a serious protest to the American minister, and, announced, give the American minister another three hours, if the United States does not take measures, the Chinese side will take drastic measures.

"This is a serious insult and contempt for our Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom."

Most of the previous lesson plans were dragged down, but now, Luo Er was shocked, he urgently made an appointment to meet Luo Yang, but Luo Yang refused to meet him, and claimed that three hours was an ultimatum,

Minister Rohr pitifully returned to his embassy and asked to see the ministers of other countries, hoping to get support, so the ministers of several countries went to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ask for a meeting, hoping to act as a mediator, but all the Chinese foreign ministry officials decisively refused: "I must apologize, our consul, Mr. Archon, is equivalent to the president or queen of your country, and his words are holy decrees and cannot be offended." ”

Later, in private, officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs explained to the British and French ministers that it was a matter of face, that the Chinese loved face, that the United States must apologize, and that the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom hoped to establish a national image completely different from that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and hoped that the great powers could cooperate.

"If we don't protect the people for their legitimate reasons, this brand-new country will have no popular foundation, and it will be over, and it will be a matter of life and death for us." Zhang Zhidong is online,

Within the allotted time, the American minister finally apologized, but, he insisted, the two missionaries were not guilty, and he had consular jurisdiction and could convict himself.

"It's disgusting, despicable verdict." After Luo Yang heard about it, he personally summoned the British minister and said to him excitedly that the gesture and tone were very similar to the statement of a certain secretary of state on something in modern society, and the words were fierce, vicious, and harsh.

Luo Yang once again protested to Luo Er, and then, giving him another hour, he asked that he must convict the missionary, and as for whether it is executed or not, how to punish it, China will not intervene,

Rohr is good,

He decisively rejected this request, because, having the support of the British and French ministers, and, moreover, he had received a great piece of news,

The gossip was passed on by Li Hongzhang,

Li Hongzhang's international diplomatic career had not yet begun, and he went to the U.S. Legation and told Rohr that he would resolutely not apologize and not convict the missionary.

The apology is already there, not to mention, the key is the guilty verdict: "Why." ”

Rohr wondered why Chinese officials would not betray China's interests, so he was very vigilant.

Li Hongzhang said that he was an official of the former Qing Dynasty, and he surrendered after being defeated, and he felt very ashamed, so he hated the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, and he knew that in fact, the consul of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom was just making trouble, and making trouble was enough, and in private, the consul had already said that if the American minister did not convict the missionary, it would be the only way, because, worried about the containment of Britain and France,

It's a reassuring pill,

Li Hongzhang also told Luo Er that at present, there are many problems in China, and there are many armed bandits in the country, and the Chinese Government does not dare to offend the United States, and the Chinese Volunteers are an example, and they dare not openly argue with the United States.

Of course, Li Hongzhang said these words in accordance with Luo Yang's intentions, and Luo Yang also despicably commanded Li Hongzhang's army: "Sir, I believe in your ability, and you will definitely be able to induce the American minister to make up his mind not to obey our pressure." ”

Li Hongzhang's character is that he is naturally timid and compromises with the outside world, which is to kill tens of thousands of prisoners of war in Suzhou, but in fact, he is also afraid in his bones.

Li Hongzhang made a thief,

When the time came, Rohr made a decisive decision, because of the correspondence at that time, he could not get timely guidance from Washington, however, he also had this estimate, and his decision was definitely the decision of the US government,

But he decided not to think that he was wrong,

Luo Yang smiled,

Here's the opportunity,

Luo Yang immediately instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to lodge the most serious protest against Luo Er, protesting that the United States connived at criminals and ruthlessly trampled on the people of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom.

Rohr smiled, isn't it just protesting, do you have anything to do,

He concluded that this protest was the end of the matter, and that everything was over.

In front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Luo Yang, a large number of diplomatic officials are waiting for decision-making guidance, in order to make the United States provoke first, or to intensify the situation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom conspired all night,

"King Rui, I see, how can this matter continue." Zhang Zhidong is quite worried, when he is unable to provoke directly, he has exhausted himself by trying his best to create contradictions, this is not diplomacy, but a political labyrinth,

"Yes, we still have no reasonable reason to take tough measures against the United States." Hong Renji said,

Everybody is distressed,

"It's okay, we won't come forward anymore, there has been a lot of trouble, I promise, in the future, diplomatic representations, there will no longer be so complicated, we have tested the attitude of various countries." Luo Yang's attitude is quite calm and relaxed, he told everyone, leave things to the people to do/,

"People." A piece of chicken feathers, an idiot,

On the same day, a shocking news appeared to all the former Qing officials, in the streets and alleys of Beijing, a large number of ordinary people appeared, they held signboards, shouted slogans, demanded that the northern government of the United States, apologize to the government of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, apologize seriously, and sentenced the two missionaries to heavy sentences.

The military and police in Beijing immediately went to obstruct them, but someone immediately notified them and drove them away.

"What the hell is going on here."

"yes, why doesn't anyone take care of it?"

"The Admiral of Jiucheng and the ...... of the Soldiers and Horses" thought for a long time, and then suddenly felt that the time was wrong.

A large number of officials also came to the streets to watch, very shocked, and had to express their coldness, because, in the pre-Qing era, these wild people, who dared to dare to do nonsense, immediately had officials to govern, now, chaos, the more chaotic the better, some former Manchu officials were secretly proud,

100,000, 200,000, 300,000, and finally 400,000 people marched and demonstrated in the city of Beijing, surrounded and protested against the US legation.

Who has seen such a sight,
