"The area around Taiwan, although it is the land of China, and the Taiwan government belongs to the border, living on the border of the island. As for www.biquge.info Shengfan, he lives in the mainland; although it is collectively called Taiwan, it is not under the control of the Taiwan government. Dong Sui said, "And he is a barbarian, he doesn't know human nature, he doesn't enter the king, and he is not the people of my dynasty; What a hindrance with Middle-earth! ”

"Even if we are Ezo in our country and the red Indians in the United States, if they break the law, they must also seek recourse and punishment. Not to mention their own nationals! Yanagihara Maemitsu's voice was resolute, "Therefore, our government has sent envoys several times to inquire about it, and that is for this reason." ”

"It's not that our country doesn't want to punish the murderer, you need to know where the people are, they are all deep in the dense forest, inaccessible places, and there are many miasma, the last time the American envoy went deep into Fandi, he didn't find the real murderer, so he had to make a covenant with the leader of the people and return." Dong Sui seemed to be a little annoyed by the persistence and unreasonableness of the Japanese, "No one can find it, but how can it be treated?" ”

"If you are harmful, since your country will not be cured, I will ask the people of the guilty island." Yanagihara Maeko is the color road.

"Shengfan is a foreign citizen of my country, and if you ask whether you are guilty or not, you can handle it in your country." Mao Changxi sneered, "As long as your envoy can find the murderer, it will be dealt with by your country, if you can't find it, but lose your own life, it is not my country's responsibility." ”

Hearing Mao Changxi actually say the words "whether you are guilty or not, let your country handle it", Yanagihara Qianguang couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, but there was a trace of anger on his face.

Dong Sui noticed that the clerk of the Japanese side had meticulously recorded the conversation between the two sides, and realized that there seemed to be something inappropriate in his words with Mao Changxi just now, and what he had just said was difficult to retract, so he was hesitating, but Yanagihara Maemitsu stopped talking, did not give them a chance to debate again, but bowed to the two prime ministers and ministers, and then turned around and left with the attachés.

Seeing the figure of the Japanese disappear, Dong Sui turned his head to Mao Changxi and said, "Xu Chu, what do they mean by what we said?" ”

"What if you write it down? It's just words, and it's not a signing of an alliance, so what's it for? Mao Changxi waved his hand indifferently, "This little Japanese boy doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he wants to go to Taiwan to arrest the murderer, so he will be called!" Save yourself all day here! ”

Dong Sui listened to Mao Changxi's words, and after thinking about it, Mao Changxi said the same, so he stopped talking about this matter. He just didn't understand why Mao Changxi was so annoyed today.

How did Dong Sui know that Liu Yuan Qianguang's rebelliousness just now reminded Mao Changxi of being reprimanded by the Empress Dowager Cixi in the Palace of Raising Hearts.

"Mao Changxi! You're here with us! ”

The scene when the Empress Dowager Cixi almost threw the fold into his face is still fresh in his memory.

"Seriously! Got the answer! Do you understand?! ”

"Minister...... Command! ”

Now Mao Changxi, when he thinks of Lin Yizhe, he hates it so much.

At this time, he didn't expect that the words he said just now, including words such as "not entering the king" and "not my people", were in line with the hearts of the Japanese!

In particular, the phrase "whether you are guilty or not, let your country handle it" gave the Japanese an excuse that they could only dream of!

He didn't know that he and Dong Sui were easily manipulated by this young Japanese, and they themselves didn't even notice it!

At this time, Yanagihara Maemitsu, who had returned to the embassy, immediately made a detailed report to the envoy Tanetomi Soejima of his "diplomatic achievements" today. When he heard this, he was so excited that he immediately ordered the record of today's conversation to be sorted out, summed up the main points, and sent them back to the country by coded telegram.

“…… The Tufan tribe in Taiwan is beyond the reach of the Qing government. The evidence of this can be found in the books published by the Qing Dynasty, and it is especially evident that the answers given by the Qing court officials are especially evident when our envoys go to the Yamen of the Qing Prime Minister to inquire about them. So there is a good reason to consider it a borderland. It was the duty of the Japanese Empire to avenge the murder of the people of the Ryukyus who were part of our vassal domain, and the axiom of the Expedition can be mainly based on this. ……”

At this time, the clouds of war were already hanging over the island of Taiwan, and the whole country of the Qing Dynasty, except for one person who had been vigilant about this matter, no one understood the true intentions of the Japanese!

Fuzhou, Mawei Port.

The white clouds in the sky are floating, the sea is flooded with waves, a dinghy sails by, a white belt flies behind the dinghy, the sound of the motor of the dinghy startles a flock of water birds, they spread their wings, sweep the water in flocks, and then fly into the distance, like a white floating cloud, floating up, it is very beautiful.

At this time, the wharf was busy, the workers were transporting supplies to the "Weiyuan" ship, and the sailors on the ship performed their duties, Lin Yizhe, who was standing in front of the wharf, looked at the "Weiyuan" ship ready to go, and his heart was both excited and a little apprehensive.

"Taiwan is full of miasma, after you pass, be careful." Chen Wan noticed Lin Yizhe's mood, looked at her, and said softly while straightening his collar for him.

"Don't worry, I won't be there for long, and I'll come back after finding out about the disappearance of the Japanese boat people." Lin Yizhe held Chen Wan's finger and said.

"Well, let's go and get back quickly." Chen Wan nodded, "You have to go to Fandi, you can't do it without someone around you to take care of you, let Caiyue follow you, I can rest assured." ”

Listening to Chen Wan's words, Lin Yizhe looked at Caiyue beside Chen Wan, and his face couldn't help but blush.

Indeed, compared with his wife and concubine, if he throws away the guns, his "force value" is too low.

At this time, a small passenger ship drove into the dock, and the sound of the motor shook the sea, pushing the sea water at the bow of the boat with a rattling sound, attracting the attention of the husband and wife.

"Japanese ships?" Lin Yizhe saw the Japanese flag fluttering on the bow of the small passenger steamer, and his brows wrinkled unconsciously.

At this moment, Xu Run hurried over.

"My lord, the Japanese envoy Yanagihara Maezitsu came to pay his respects, saying that he had something urgent to see your lordship."

"Japanese envoys?" Lin Yizhe was slightly stunned and asked, "Where are the people?" ”

"My lord, look over there, it's already here." Xu Run said, his gaze turned to the side. Lin Yizhe followed his gaze, and sure enough, he saw several Japanese in suits and leather shoes walking briskly towards the dock, led by a handsome and elegant young man.

"What did they say?" Lin Yizhe's gaze stayed on Yanagihara Qianguang, and asked quietly in a whisper.

"said that he was going to Taiwan for 'inspection', and the General Administration has already given him a passport, which needs to be checked by an adult and stamped with customs defense." Xu Run said in a low voice, "No, I heard that the adults set off today, so I chased after me." ”

"They're in such a hurry! I chased it to the docks! Lin Yizhe sneered.

At this time, Yanagihara Qianguang and his party were about to walk in front of Lin Yizhe, Lin Yizhe and Xu Run quickly exchanged glances, did not speak, but quickly put on a smile full of spring breeze and greeted him.

Yanagihara Maeko stood up in front of Lin Yizhe and bowed solemnly, and the attachés behind him also bowed to Lin Yizhe Xu Run. Lin Yizhe and Xu Run hugged their fists and returned the salute.

After the two of them finished saluting, Yanagihara Qianguang looked at the young man in front of him in a splendid official uniform, although he didn't speak, the expression on his face was very modest, while Lin Yizhe looked at him with a smile on his face, and he didn't speak immediately.

Although the two looked at each other for only a short moment, it made Xu Run feel as if there were four sharp swords in front of him, as if they could hit a spark!

"I'm sorry for delaying Lord Lin's trip."

After a long while, Yanagihara Maemitsu slowly spoke in Japanese.

After listening to the interpreter's explanation, Lin Yizhe's smile did not change at all.

"Mr. Yanagihara, you don't have to be polite." Lin Yizhe said with a smile, "There is still a while before leaving the ship, if Mr. Yanagihara has anything, you might as well say it clearly." ”

For the famous figure in Japanese history in front of him, Lin Yizhe, who traveled from later generations, knows very clearly.

"I've always wanted to go to Taiwan for sightseeing, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to do it because I was on official business." Yanagihara Maemitsu also said with a smile, "I finally have a chance today, my application has been approved by your Prime Minister's Yamen, but I need Lord Lin to help me complete the final procedures." I heard that Lord Lin was going to sea today, and I was afraid that he would not be in Fuzhou for a while, so I hurried over. If it is abrupt, please forgive me Lord Lin. ”

"It's really unfortunate that this little thing caused Mr. Yanagihara to come to the dock in person." Lin Yizhe pretended to turn his head and reprimanded Xu Run, "Mr. Xu, you are going back more and more on this errand, isn't it just to build a guard?" You're just going to let me know no? I have to let people make a special trip, if I leave at this time, can I say that this thing will not be done? ”

"Old and confused, old and confused." Xu Run lowered his head and bowed, and said continuously.

"You can't blame Mr. Xu for this. I insisted that he come to you, Lord Lin. Yanagihara said with a smile, "Since this is the law of your country, I should strictly abide by it." As he spoke, he turned to an attaché and said, "Please ask Lord Lin to check your passport." ”

The attaché took a leather bag, took out a thick dozen passports from it, and handed it to Xu Run, who took it and presented it to Lin Yizhe.

Lin Yizhe couldn't help but stiffen the smile on his face when he saw so many passports, but he didn't say anything, but took it and looked at it one by one.

Seeing Lin Yizhe carrying the sea breeze on his back, clumsily looking at these passports of extraordinary size issued by the Qing Dynasty, several of Yanagihara Qianguang's attachés unconsciously flashed a trace of contempt and ridicule in their eyes.

Yanagihara Qianguang's eyes were also fixed on Lin Yizhe, but his expression was extremely calm.

"Why did Mr. Yanagihara suddenly remember to go to Taiwan at this time?" Lin Yizhe flipped through the passport, stepped forward and handed it back to Yanagihara Qianguang with his own hands, and asked with a smile.

"I heard that it was a beautiful island, and I always wanted to enjoy the natural scenery there, but I never had the opportunity, and this time the opportunity is rare, no matter what season and time it is." Yanagihara replied with a smile.
