While the British were hyping up war against China, a fortuitous event changed the British government's decision-making and affected tensions in the Far East. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

While the British were once again advocating the Yellow Peril theory at home for the sake of sending troops to China, the German Emperor Wilhelm II did a stupid thing.

During this time, William II was interviewed by the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph. In view of the tension between Britain and Germany in the past two years, the Kaiser wanted to take this opportunity to promote friendly relations between Germany and Britain.

The knot is far from being too noisy, and the cold learning is far away

However, this cruel and often uncontrolled Wilhelm II, for the sake of a momentary quick tongue, was full of nonsense, mercilessly accusing England, France, Russia, and Japan.

Wilhelm II said in an interview that in fact, the Germans hated the false gentlemanly demeanor of the British, who relied on a few warships in their hands to run rampant all over the world, and even had evil intentions for their European friends.

The Kaiser claimed that France and Russia had instigated German intervention in the Second Boer War, and that German naval expansion was directed only against Japan, not Britain. Now you British are hostile to Germany, and you Englishmen are really crazy.

Wilhelm II's radical remarks caused an uproar all over the world, and even the German royal family felt that this was what happened to Wilhelm II, and the Kaiser was talking such nonsense in front of the media.

The British, after seeing this uncensored interview with Wilhelm II, suddenly began to be silent on the subject of sending troops to the Qing Dynasty.

Suddenly, they discovered that Britain was facing a serious threat in Europe. Their neighbors are threatening them.

Sun is not far away, and the cold moon is against the square ball

Moreover, the expansion of the German seas and the expansion of the navy made the British feel more and more that the threat from the Far East was far less than that from Germany.

Sun Bu was not far away, and the clamor of the cold moon Qiu Fangqiu, who was eager to start a war against China, gradually lost his voice.

When the French heard Wilhelm II's remarks, they feared that the Germans might pose a threat to France at any time.

A cry for war against China has gradually lost its voice.

In Beijing in September, the autumn is crisp, and in the Le Shou Hall of the Summer Palace, Cixi seems to be in a particularly good mood today.

The enemy is not the enemy, the scientific examination is cold, the hatred is not later, and the loneliness is revealed

She asked Li Lianying to carry her chair into the garden. The autumn sun shone on Cixi's body, and she felt very comfortable.

Cixi suddenly found that for so many years, she had never appreciated the scenery around her with such care.

She sighed and said, "Little Lizi, why haven't you seen it so beautiful here before?"

Li Lianying hurriedly said: "Master, in the past, it was because you were too busy, and you were too busy to enjoy the scenery around you every day for the sake of the Qing Dynasty. Galeries Lafayette, you are so tired. ”

Cixi looked greedily at everything around her, and she said to herself, "If only people could start over." When I think of this, I can't help but feel sad.

At this time, Prince Alcohol Zaifeng came to Cixi, and was a little surprised to see that Cixi at this time was very different from the past. Li Lianying motioned for him not to speak.

After about half an hour, Cixi slowly recovered from her sadness, glanced at Zaifeng, and asked, "Zaifeng, are you okay?"

Zaifeng hesitated for a moment and said, "Back to Lafayette, I am here for the affairs of Britain and the United States." ”

"What's going on with them," Cixi asked, squinting at Zaifeng.

"Suddenly they had no follow-up, and it was said that they had a conflict with themselves. No one wants to come to our Qing Dynasty again. ”

"Oh, these foreigners are very cunning, isn't there some conspiracy?"

"I heard that Wilhelm II made a phone call and annoyed the British. Originally, the British insisted on sending troops, but because of the Kaiser's nonsense, they all disappeared. The French didn't do it either. They seem to be getting more and more nervous with Germany. ”

The knot is not far away, and Yu Gu is cold and inspects the revenge

Not far away, Yu Gu Leng inspected the revenge in Beijing in September, the autumn was crisp, and in the Le Shou Hall of the Summer Palace, Cixi seemed to be in a particularly good mood today.

"How is Yuan Shikai lately, why are you still delaying sending troops," Empress Dowager Cixi looked at Zaifeng with sharp eyes and asked.

"Back to Lafayette, Yuan Shikai has been asking Britain and the United States for help recently, hoping that they can send troops to help him stop the king of Hainan from continuing to advance north, and he has been coming and going very frequently."

"yes, I see. What happened to the situation where you urged Yuan Shikai to start the war in Sichuan as soon as possible?"

"Back to Lafayette, the new army on the Sichuan side has basically been assembled, and we can launch an attack on the Hainan army just waiting for our order."

"Well, wait a minute. urge Yuan Shikai to immediately start a war against the Hainan army in Hubei"

"Lafayette, Yuan Shikai seems to be a little negative, obviously, Yuan Shikai is worried that this use of troops will cause his six towns in Beiyang to suffer, Yuan Shikai has always been ambitious, Lafayette, with the intention of Weichen, is it okay to get rid of Yuan Shikai"

Cixi opened her eyes suddenly, glanced at Zaifeng and said, "Prince Alcohol, why are you still so reckless in this matter. If we kill Yuan Shikai, there will be a mutiny. Almost all of the Beiyang New Army were his subordinates, and Yuan Shikai had been running the Beiyang New Army for many years, and no one could shake his position in the New Army.

Zaifeng, do you use your brain, some things can't be forced, you have to learn to maneuver around, and wait for things to change slowly. You are so impulsive, how can you support such a powerful Qing Dynasty?"

Zaifeng hurriedly knelt in front of Cixi and said: "Lafayette is angry, Wechen is stupid, which makes Lafayette angry, Wechen knows that it is wrong"

Cixi sighed and said, "Okay, get up." It's hard for you to sit in this position. However, there is no way, you can study with all your heart. Remember, Yuan Shikai can only be enveloped and controlled, slowly consuming his strength, and must not be forced, otherwise, the rule of our Qing Dynasty may collapse."

"Whoa"

"Urge Yuan Shikai to start a war immediately, in addition, let Zhao Erxun in Sichuan also make a move, our Qing Dynasty's turnaround may be in one fell swoop" Cixi's eyes suddenly widened, she seemed to be telling herself that she hoped that before she went to meet the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, she would inject some strength into the dying Qing Dynasty through this battle.

In the Hainan Wangxing Mansion on Chongming Island, Chen Zhong was secretly visiting the US Minister Rou Keyi to further discuss the current situation.

The purpose of Rou Keyi's visit was to clearly hope that Chen Zhong would be able to stop the war, and hoped that through their efforts to promote the autonomy of Hainan, he suggested that the king of Hainan establish the state of Hainan.

Chen categorically rejected the US proposal, saying: "Mr. Ambassador, this king will resolutely oppose any attempt to split our Chinese nation. As long as our army exists for a day, this king will not let this happen.

Your actions have disappointed the king, and he could have thrown you into the East China Sea right now for your discordant suggestion

Not far away, Mi Yang Yang hates the master of the department, and he is lonely

Before you make this suggestion to this king, it is best to understand the current strength of this king."
