Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Chinese in Nanyang Are Protectorates
Chapter 39 The Chinese in Nanyang are to be protected
Now there is a long silence, Japan is now no sound, no image, and now the international tribunal is almost ready to deal with this matter of Japan in Hong Kong, Guangxu and the ministers all know in their hearts, this time it is Japan who is dead, as an emerging country, you have accidentally offended many great powers, although Japan is a little unhappy, but you have too many handles in the hands of the great powers, how to get out of Japan has not yet been fruited.

But this time it's different, this time it's the world's number one power, Britain, who is not good to provoke this Liu Mingchuan, and provoke this difficult bone! The results of many practices have proved that we are not the opponent of this old capital empire, and this time it is difficult to end!
Cixi was also angry in the back!
How good it should be!
You are talking!
At this time, Guangxu saw this, so let's do it yourself!
Talked about!
I've talked about strategy before, and this time I'm talking about what non-strategic thinking is! Non-strategic thinking is to pick up the cheap and want to go, retreat when you see difficulties, react to various stresses in front of you, only see the present at every step, some people criticize and be frustrated, some people praise and be proud, there is no long-term plan at all, this is strategic imbecile!
Throughout ancient and modern times, all failures from the state to the individual are strategic failures, and of course all successes are, strategic successes!
So how great the difficulties we are facing now will be the great opportunities that will be in the future, and the so-called "crisis", that is, "danger" and "opportunity" coexist!
Guangxu said to Li Hanzhang and Zhang Zhidong, who were also present, do you agree with my point of view!
Zhang Zhidong and Li Hanzhang looked at each other, the two of us are local governors, this time we came to the capital, to meet your queen mother, and left in a few days, it seems that it has nothing to do with the two of us!
But the emperor asked, and he still couldn't help but give the emperor a son!
The two of them saluted, and spoke!
What the emperor said is extremely true!
Guangxu said that Wu Ciren wrote down what he just said, and everyone discussed it when he went back!
These overseas Chinese have to leave their hometowns and go to other places to make a living, relying on the intelligence and diligence of the Chinese and pioneering spirit to make a living, and earn some solid industry in the careful calculation, which is after the accumulation of several generations, it will be a little better!
What's even more commendable is that these people don't forget their roots! They have passed on the words from generation to generation, worshiped the saints of Confucius and Mencius, paid tribute to the ancestors of the sect, practiced Chinese etiquette, and celebrated Chinese customs and festivals, these people are Chinese people!
The European countries dare to use force against our China for the sake of one or two missionaries, but we should watch the Chinese people of the same clan and roots being bullied and ignored! If you really do that, what is the difference between it and the beasts that the six relatives don't recognize!
A note to the British Minister!
Our Chinese Empire is very indignant at the actions of the British colonial government in "Java", and it actually openly connived at the barbaric acts of the mob to loot and kill our Chinese and overseas Chinese!
Our Chinese Empire reserves all the right to investigate the truth, punish the murderers, and clearly tell the British government if the British government cannot give a satisfactory answer to the Chinese Empire and the overseas Chinese. Our Huaxia Empire will consider all ways and means except for peace negotiations!
To ensure that the property safety of overseas Chinese is not violated, the safety of life is not violated, and the freedom of personality is not violated, I and the Chinese Empire will not hesitate to use all the forces that the Chinese Empire can mobilize to fulfill its promise!
Immediately order the Yangtze River Naval Division, the Nanyang Naval Division, and the Beiyang Naval Division to enter a combat state and destroy the invading enemy at all costs. The Fujian Mawei Naval Division was ordered to immediately assemble and set off, replace the Taiwan fleet, and carry out coastal patrols to countries where there are Chinese in the South Seas, so as to support and protect the vital interests of overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese with practical actions!
Prime Minister Yamen immediately sent a note to the ministers of other countries, telling me about China's interests and requests, hoping that all countries can treat them with empathy, and explaining that China has always loved peace and will never take the initiative to cause disputes, but this time it is forced to deal with it, and I protect overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese, and I hope that all countries will understand and support China's reasonable claims and reasonable demands!
First, the British government must conduct a thorough investigation into this riot and punish the perpetrators severely!
Second, the British government must compensate for the losses suffered by the Chinese and overseas Chinese in this incident!
Third, in order to strengthen the ability of overseas Chinese to deal with risks, the Chinese Empire should send troops to protect overseas Chinese!
Use these three as a starting point to negotiate with the British government!
For now, let the Second Army stay there and protect the overseas Chinese until our negotiations with the British government are concluded.
Then ordered Prince Gong to Yi?? On behalf of the Son of Heaven, Li Hongzhang landed to comfort the overseas Chinese who were injured in this incident, and made a promise that the Chinese Empire would definitely take care of this matter to the end, and before this matter was clearly handled, the Second Army of the Chinese Empire would never retreat from Nanyang!
Then it is to choose heartfelt patriots in various parts of Nanyang, confer the honorary title of gentleman outside the staff, and choose a convenient opportunity to enter Beijing to face the saint, responsible for negotiating with the local government and even the British government on behalf of the local Chinese and overseas Chinese, in order to strive for reasonable interests!
And we must set off Liu Mingchuan this bastard!
Bastard! Bastard that!
As a local magistrate, the governor of Taiwan, the supreme administrator of a province, he went with 2,000 people, he didn't think about what he would do if he lost, if he lost! If he dies in the South Seas, what will he do with Taiwan! Let the overseas Chinese do! Let the whole of China think of the people who stand in the court, and how the international countries will look at it!
This is irresponsible! Why don't you report it, why don't you take other sailors with you, Fujian, Guangzhou's sailors are so close!
To be punished, must be punished!
Send him two months' salary, and write an examination! If you don't write profoundly, you have to rewrite it!
Isn't that nonsense!
And Zhao Bingjun, why didn't he send a telegram in Taiwan, he wrote me a check, at least 10,000 words, to write a profound check! If you can't write well, rewrite me!
At this time, Guangxu said to Cao Jixiang and Zhang Kangren, now that the negotiation and formation of the international tribunal has ended, the next thing is to deal with Japan and this Nanyang time, and the international tribunal will definitely be very busy at that time.
Diplomatic negotiation is Liang Dunyan and Wu Zhongxian's specialty, but litigation is your two specialty, you two go to Hong Kong to replace the two of them, let the two of them go to Nanyang to deal with the matter locally, and the other follows Li Hongzhang to the UK to deal with the matter!
After Guangxu finished speaking, there was a surprise below!
Guangxu knows!
According to Cixi in the back, this matter is a spring, the stronger you are, the weaker he is, and Huaxia must not show weakness in this matter.
Cixi thought for a while and said, let's do what the emperor said! Otherwise, you don't have any good ideas, do you!
In the South Seas!
This has happened before, but it is not as serious as this time, in the past, whenever the colonial government ran out of money, it would use this method to suppress the Chinese, and in the end, as long as the Chinese were willing to pay, the British colonial government would come forward to settle the matter, that is, to die people, spending some money Chinese cannot be said to be servile, but there is really no other good way!
This incident, the local big family also found, the local colonial governor, but this time it was the money, but it just didn't help, there was no way to send a telegram to Taiwan for help, in fact, before Liu Mingchuan arrived, the loss of overseas Chinese was already very large, which is also the reason why Liu Mingchuan was in a hurry!
The situation has been controlled, with the support of the battleship's artillery fire, the chaos has killed and injured countless people, but the army has not expanded the results of the battle because there is not much ammunition left, besides, this is still an overseas operation, so it is better to keep a low profile, Liu Ming didn't know what to do at this time, there was no such precedent in the past!
Liu Mingchuan has been fighting horses all his life, and he is also very open, as long as the imperial court can send troops to stabilize the situation and protect the interests of the Chinese, even if he loses his official position, it is worth it even if he loses his old life!
As he watched tens of thousands of Chinese people struggling in pain, many people were looking at him helplessly. And when he was at a loss, he received a telegram from Li Hongzhang, the Dingyuan ship!
The British Minister to China will soon wait for the land, first to deal with diplomatic matters, and then our Beiyang Naval Division Dingyuan will also enter Hong Kong soon, you can stabilize the situation first, and all other things will be handled by me and Prince Gong!
Liu Ming, who received this letter, faxed it as if it had been a long drought for three years and ushered in a heavy rain!
Loudly said to Zhao Bingjun and the officials present and the patriarchs of several big families, the imperial court sent the Beiyang Navy Division here, with thirteen search warships!
I also photographed Prince Gong and Li Hongzhang Li Zhongtang to deal with this matter, everyone don't worry, this time we are not only saved, but also can definitely get back a justice, everyone is ready to follow me to the dock to meet the two adults and the Beiyang Sailor!
These people couldn't believe their ears when they heard it, the Beiyang Naval Division is now the first naval fleet in Asia, and there are two important ministers of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Gong and Li Hongzhang, who are all big shots!
It can't be a fake, right?
Okay, won't you know if it's real or fake when you go to the pier with me?
Besides, the British minister was in the governor's palace, and as soon as he saw the governor, he began to scold!
Why do you scold, because this governor is the nephew of the old man, although this nephew's official position is greater than that of the old man, but the old man's title is higher than that of this governor, plus the seniority and kinship, so he came up and began to teach the governor a lesson!
Why are you so confused, now China is organizing a large number of businessmen to do business and talk about trade in Britain, do you know what a big profit this is! This time, not only I, the British minister, went back to China, but almost all the ministers of other major countries followed the Chinese business group back to China, and they were all vying to do business with China and develop trade!
You know that this time we Britain sent a warship to follow, and other countries also sent warships to follow, and the Netherlands even sent three warships to follow, and there are more than 20 foreign warships in this fleet! Now we all know about it, and we're all waiting to see the joke! If it is not handled well this time, no one will be on our side!
Now that the emperor of China has issued a very strong statement, he will definitely not make simple concessions on this matter, so you must not make a mistake in the future!
And what a profit it would be if China could still order warships from our family's shipyard this time! You have to know how profitable the few warships they ordered before are, if this business can't be done, not only the government will hold you accountable, but the people in the family will also hold you accountable, why are you so confused!
Old man Richard King's few words are to the point, is interest the most fundamental reason, he ran all the way to this uncivilized place, isn't the fundamental purpose just for money?
If you can't get along with money, that's a crime!
You know how to do it right away!
First, send troops to suppress the riots and restore order to the local area as soon as possible.
Then send someone to appease the Chinese and discuss the aftermath.
Then immediately greet the high-ranking officials of China and warmly welcome the visit of Prince Gong and Li Zhongtang!
Prince Gong and Li Hongzhang were greeted with the highest courtesy of twenty-one cannon salutes, and just as Li Hongzhang was talking happily with the ministers of various countries and the governors of the colonies, Liu Mingchuan brought his subordinates down!
Prince Gong didn't know when he shaved his hair, wearing a tuxedo, a yellow, red and purple ribbon, and a white Zhenglong jade medal on his chest, full of majesty and solemnity, coupled with his innate aristocratic temperament, which made people feel cordial and awe-inspiring!
Li Hongzhang next to him was also wearing a tuxedo, wearing a red and purple ribbon, and also wearing a white jade Zhenglong medal, but he still had a whip, and the goatee didn't add any temperament to him, and he was one meter seven tall, he couldn't withstand the ravages of the years, and he was already hunchbacked!
Liu Ming came to Prince Gong and saw that Prince Gong was dressed very strangely, but it was indeed Prince Gong himself, so he gave a deep salute!
See the prince and the middle hall!
Prince Gong smiled and said to Liu Ming; "You Liu **, you are not small, you are so old, and you won't change your hot temper! It's kind of interesting! ”
Li Hongzhang took over the topic and said, this is a telegram from Jingshi, you can see for yourself!
Liu Mingchuan couldn't believe his eyes after taking it and looking at it, and told Li Hongzhang that this was really the punishment of the imperial court for me!
Li Hongzhang nodded and said, yes, Zhao Bingjun!
You two must take the emperor's request seriously! Don't be perfunctory!
Check the depth of what you want to write!
