Of course, this statement is still very particular, in fact, the relationship between the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom and the foreign powers, there is no formal establishment of diplomatic relations, the so-called severance of diplomatic relations is to clearly declare that any form of negotiation with the US federal government will be held on the establishment of diplomatic relations, and confirmed: "Within ten years, no attempt will be made, unless the US federal government gives adequate compensation for the harm caused to the people of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom by the missionary incident." ”

The document reiterates that the United States Ministers and their affiliates and personnel in China shall be expelled forthright, that all American religious institutions in China shall be closed within three days, and that the two American missionaries shall be seized and convicted and executed immediately by the Chinese Government.

This time, a new content was added to the document, "In view of the fact that the cause of the problem in the relations between the two countries is the United States, Huaxia Tianguo announces that it will immediately freeze the property rights of all American nationals in China, expel all American nationals, and impose restrictions on the scope of its crackdown, including but not limited to all overseas Chinese in the United States." ”

This document is commonly known internationally as the second severance of diplomatic relations, and after the document is delivered to the U.S. Embassy, it is further submitted to the embassies of various countries to make an international intelligence announcement.

The Great Powers were shocked,

This time, the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom will freeze all the US government and its personal relations in China, and will also expel all Americans from the country, and even, in the document, there are some fierce words: "If American expatriates and missionaries do not abide by this regulation, hide, smuggle or change their names and nationalities without authorization, and continue to stay in China, the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom government will take a stern and just attitude to punish them. ”

To put it simply, the announcement of the severance of diplomatic relations is terrifying, but if the Americans do not leave on schedule, they will correct the law on the spot and cut it.

After the envoys of the great powers spread the news to their own countries, the newspapers of the countries that did not know the truth made all kinds of speculations and made serious analyses, and at the same time, without exception, exclaimed, "The Chinese have exclaimed." ”

There are all kinds of international commentaries, left, center, and right newspapers and figures, in society, in Congress, and in the streets and alleys, citing the open break between the Chinese government and the United States.

Tea has long been integrated into Western social life, and this word can be used,

The famous Mr. Marx commented: "It is not clear whether the resolute resistance of the United States of America on this Eastern continent is a clash of civilizations or a clash of national interests, but there is no doubt how far this new nation, the united government of the United States, which is said to have sprung up from a tributary of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, can go on the road of independence." ”

Prime Minister Bismarck, who was actively planning the reunification of Germany and later shocked the world, said: "There is information that this Chinese country has a strong religious plot, known as the Kingdom of Heaven, and idealism prevails, but their expulsion of Americans is an ideal or a practical interest, or a challenge to Western ideology. ”

There are various theories, and so on.

In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and administrative management system of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, in the military system, and in the state organs of the Heavenly Kingdom, which had a large number of former Qing officials, most people expressed their incomprehension and did not understand the drastic act of severing diplomatic relations.

Luo Yang specifically consulted Li Hongzhang on this matter, he objected, asked Zeng Guofan, he objected, however, asked Zuo Zongtang, Zeng Guoquan, Peng Yulin, etc., but they were supported,

There were also some Manchu nobles and high-ranking officials, such as Wu Ren, Wen Xiang, Li Hongzao and others, who believed that missionaries endangered Chinese Confucianism and moral thought, and must be excluded.

Some are conservative and backward, some have ulterior motives, and some are instinctive, Luo Yang is just listening, just showing his democratic and open-minded high profile,

Zuo Zongtang made a special twist and said to Luo Yang that war should be declared on the United States.

Zuo Zongtang and Peng Yulin are two former Qing officials trusted by Luo Yang, one in Tianjin and the other in Fujian, to handle China's future naval fleet, the late Qing fleet in history, which was only started to be built in the eighties.

The two people jointly proposed to declare war on the United States, on the grounds that the United States was in civil strife, just to show strength with war and deter Western countries.

In the days after the severance of diplomatic relations, there were many debates within the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom around this issue.

Luo Yang himself didn't pay too much attention to these, diplomacy is, he focused on military strength and economic development.

Under his repeated inspection and supervision, the number of military enterprises in the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom has increased to four, one is the foundation of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau in Shanghai, the first is the relocation of the Anqing Ordnance Institute to Fuzhou, the third is the military enterprise in Henan Province, which has moved to the Nanyuan of Beijing, directly relying on the military camp, and the fourth is the factory in Xi'an, as the deepest foundation in the mainland, these enterprises have the best equipment in the Shanghai factory, so they are now stepping up the mass production of new rifles, and at the same time, they are also producing in Nanyuan, and a research institute has been set up in Xi'an. In addition to the basic manufacturing, but also study the development of aircraft, the development of tanks, these, are put forward by Luo Yang, for everyone to do the goal, those, are the vision, because, diesel locomotives are not widely developed in the West, for the development of new gunpowder such as picric acid, is also in progress, in a word, Shanghai mass production, Xi'an research, Fujian tends to naval equipment, Beijing Nanyuan stepped up the introduction of machines, standardized construction,

The factory in Shanghai, in one month, produced 1,000 rifled guns and 30,000 bullets, and in the second month, the output doubled.

The factories in Shanghai were also required to develop new types of artillery, mortars for infantry mobility, mortars for siege purposes, etc.

Luo Yang clearly told everyone that the current world is that the strong are king, and the main task of Huaxia Tian** is to vigorously develop military technology, take the route of militarization of the national economy, and use the military to drive civilian use, military breakthroughs, and all-round development.

Many people have different opinions, Luo Yang did not hesitate to put it aside, sometimes he was interested, and he also told these people the reason, sometimes, he didn't care at all, anyway, the truth is often in the hands of a few people,

More often, Luo Yang became an expert in military equipment, and his remarks, planning, and guidance made the military technicians at that time only dumbfounded, admired and admired, because the things he talked about did have a lot of feasibility and a lot of unknowns.

In Nanyuan, Beijing, Luo Yang got the document sent by Zhang Zhidong in a hurry, which was handed over by the U.S. federal government to the British minister to deliver the credentials, the name signed was in English, and it was written by the British.
