Chapter 396: Open Strike
"Down with the missionaries."
"Kill the missionaries, kill them all, and leave not one behind."
"Preachers are a bunch of scoundrels, hooligans, wolves in human skin."
"Missionaries do all kinds of evil, under the banner of God, and do demonic things."
"Resolutely punish the missionaries who commit crimes, and the missionaries get out of China."
The people, crying out with indignation, finally got up and threw stones at the legation, cursing,
The Americans were surrounded in it and couldn't get out, and it was a long time before the military and police of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom came out and tried to maintain order.
"Beat, kill these traitors who seek glory."
"That's right, these guys eat people and don't do their jobs, and they follow foreign devil fathers everywhere to oppress the people."
Among the people, some people shouted wildly, and some people shouted that there were bad people who deceived the ruler of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, which caused the country to be so humiliated.
These, of course, were all planned by Luo Yang, and many government officials and military police, disguised themselves in it and agitated in it, and became the backbone, so these people attacked the military and police, set fire to several houses, and attacked embassies and other places.
The embassies of Britain and France were also attacked and surrounded, but it was the American ministers who were insulted by the masses.
Anyway, everything is logical, and the momentum is very big and serious,
In fact, the mass movement is a big vat, and many unscrupulous elements are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
Therefore, this movement, at the beginning, it was controllable, and later, it was chaotic.
Not to mention the Chinese who have been bullied and held their breath, Britain, known as the first gentleman's country, has made a lot of trouble in modern times, and the chaos and riots in London have not attracted international attention,
Everyone, curses, burning, and other violent incidents, and then, the military and police of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom went out and occupied the streets, persuaded the people to go home, and captured those who were responsible.
In one day, the mass demonstrations were over, the burning houses were extinguished, and all the panicked foreign ministers, with the officers and soldiers of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, seemed to be over.
However, the next day, Luo Yang personally summoned all the foreign ministers in China to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and expressed comfort to other countries, but he criticized the American minister Luoer, pointing out that the United States was the root cause of the popular uprising in Beijing.
"Your minister should be held responsible for this incident." Luo Yang pointed at the American minister and angrily reprimanded,
is a reprimand,
All the diplomats were stunned,
Luo Yang reiterated the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom's concern for the relations between the great powers, but he was extremely angry with the United States, and then announced that he wanted the United States minister to decide to compensate for the economic losses caused by the arson of the gangsters in the Beijing incident, because all the losses caused by the gangsters were also borne by the United States government, and the two American missionaries must be handed over to the Chinese government to deal with immediately, because the seriousness of the matter is beyond control, and the United States must pay a sufficient price to calm the resentment of the people and attract the hearts of the people.
Although they doubted the motives of the Chinese government, the British and French ministers still felt that the actions of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom were indeed justified, but they also put forward suggestions, hoping to ease relations and not exert too much pressure on Minister Rohr, and also hoped that Minister Rohr would be given enough time so that he could get the decision of the US government.
"Nope." Luo Yang decisively refused, "I'm worried that something similar will happen in Beijing, or other regions, because, I think, there must be guys who oppose our Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom mixed in." ”
Luo Yang told the ministers of various countries that he desperately hoped to immediately bring stability and unity to the country, because chaos is not good for all countries, and "it is fatal to the commercial activities of the countries and the personal safety of the expatriate." ”
In front of the foreign ministers, Luo Yang ordered his powerful departments, asking them to immediately go all out to solve the case and find out the instigators behind the scenes.
said a thousand, said 10,000, and in the end, when Luo Yang sang praises to various countries, he was only very vocal about the United States.
Minister Rohr rejected the accusations, saying: "I hope that the government of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom will calm down and take matters seriously, and I believe that consular jurisdiction is inviolable." ”
Luo Yang immediately refuted: "This is not a simple consular jurisdiction, it is your criminal behavior that has aroused public indignation. ”
Rohr asked for ample time to form a diversified investigation team to investigate the truth of the demonstrations in Beijing, but Luo Yang refused: "We don't have time, the investigation is necessary, but, first of all, the United States has to promise to stabilize the order first." ”
Of course, Rohr could not accept it, so he asked to wait for his own government to inform his own government on the grounds that he did not have the authorization of his own government.
"No, you have to accept the conditions immediately." Luo Yang said gently, but with an unchangeable majesty,
Things are deadlocked,
"Mr. Consul, I hope that the relationship between China and the United States will be handled gently." British Minister Glo played a round game,
Luo Yang's eyes were cold: "Do you want to make another big riot in Beijing because of the appeasement of the British?" ”
Glo has nothing to say, anyway, the spearhead is aimed at the United States, the United States is split from Britain, and Britain, there have been too many grievances, from 1812 to 14 years, there was a war between the two countries, it can be regarded as fifty years ago, and the economic competition in the future is also very fierce, anyway, Britain is optimistic about the victory of the South, and also hopes that the Northern Federal Government will add to the blockage, if it is not for the foreign policy of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, Britain will not care, however, Luo Yang has sworn to ensure that the rationality and dignity of all treaties will be maintained, He didn't have much interest in interfering.
Under Luo Yang's coercion, the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, and Minister Luo Er was extremely angry, this was a direct humiliation of a country's minister under the public, he turned around angrily and left,
A summons is over, and everyone is speculating about new variables,
Sure enough, as soon as the American envoy left, Luo Yang gave instructions and sent people to announce to the envoys of various countries that the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom would prudently abide by all the old treaties, and at the same time, resolutely safeguard its friendship with other countries, but it would absolutely not tolerate the US federal government, which is the black sheep of the herd.
"The American Minister Rohr, an undesirable figure in our Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, we urge him to leave the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom immediately within twenty-four hours, because we have not yet concluded formal diplomatic relations, so he has naturally lost all the guarantees he enjoys as a diplomat."
This declaration stunned all the diplomats of the world, and they persuaded the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom to retract its fate, but it was rejected.
Not only that, Luo Yang personally came forward and announced the arrest of the two American missionaries who caused trouble in China, not to expel them, but to directly arrest and try them, and sentenced them to three years of criminal law each.
The criminal law is not heavy, the key is that Luo Yang announced that all missionary rights of the United States in the territory of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom will be abolished.
"From now on, all American churches and practitioners in the territory of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, including all the former Qing ruled areas, will be immediately closed and banned, and the personnel shall be arrested and concentrated, the churches will be closed, and all those who do not obey the orders shall be punished for the great crime of rebellion against the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom."
"All citizens of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom still enjoy all freedom of religious belief and missionary power, and the blow to the missionary right of the United States will not undermine this purpose."
