Lin Yizhe heard this, and deliberately teased her: "Don't you like it?" You weren't ...... last night."

Cai Yue was afraid that he would say something embarrassing, so she reached out and stroked Lin Yizhe's face, bit her lip and said, "Okay, okay, people like it." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lin Yizhe became proud and said with a smile: "I said, how can you not like the way you looked last night, Lang has to follow ......"

Cai Yue was ashamed, Yanxia dyed her cheeks, covered Lin Yizhe's mouth hard, and said hurriedly: "Besides, people can ignore you!" ”

Lin Yizhe smiled, and said in her ear: "What is it like, tell you about it." ”

Caiyue's ears were filled with his heat, and she said in a greasy voice: "Tell you, you have to let people go, don't make Miss angry, so that you can't eat and walk around." ”

Lin Yizhe smiled and nodded, Caiyue leaned into his ear and whispered: "Let people's hearts drift from beginning to end, the interest is really much better than before......"

Lin Yizhe smiled: "How do you say this? ”

Cai Yue said with a spring on her face: "I was tossed by you all night last night, but now my body is still warm and comfortable." ”

Lin Yizhe listened to it with interest, the palm of the quilt was inserted into her thigh, his fingertips rubbed the thin and delicate place, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Fang was coaxing me, since this is the case, then let you be happy again." ”

Where did Caiyue pay attention to his excuses, for fear that Chen Wan would get angry, so she resolutely broke out of Lin Yizhe's arms, got dressed, climbed out of the bed and slipped out of bed, glanced at Lin Yizhe gently, and said: "Uncle, rest for a while, I will come back in a while to serve my aunt and dress, I think there are still many things to do today, right?" ”

"Yes, it's a lot more going on today." Lin Yizhe watched Caiyue float out of the house, cleaned up the situation of the ********, and turned his mind to what needed to be done today.

After a while, Caiyue turned around and waited for Lin Yizhe to get up and freshen up, and then Lin Yizhe and Chen Wan Caiyue had breakfast together. Chen Wan was going to visit Lin Puqing, and Lin Yizhe went out to visit Li Henian, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

When he arrived at the Governor's Office, Li Henian learned that Lin Yizhe came to visit, and personally greeted him, and the two went to the living room to talk, just as Fuzhou General Wen Yu was also there, Li Henian and Wen Yu asked Lin Yizhe about foreign affairs, and Lin Yizhe answered them one by one in a clear manner, and said the truth, which made Li Henian and Wen Yu praise.

"I'll tell you the truth, Brother Kunyu, I don't know anything about this kind of business, but the things that the court has explained must not only be done, but also done well, I have no choice but to do it, it just so happens that you are back, it is simply God to help me." Li Henian said, "With Brother Kunyu and your care for the governor of Fujian, I won't be afraid of anything, hehe." ”

"Brother Kunyu has learned both Chinese and Western culture, and is proficient in Western military affairs, he is one of the few capable officials in my Qing Dynasty, and Wen will have to borrow more in the future." Wen Yu also said with a smile on the side.

"Where and where, I just know some skin," Lin Yizhe said humbly, "I don't dare to borrow weight, where the two adults need me, I can do it, there is no other word." ”

"Brother Kunyu is really a cheerful person!" Li Henian and Wen Yu glanced at each other and said with a smile, "There is a troublesome matter right now, I just discussed with Lord Wen, Lord Futai is seriously ill, and I am afraid that this matter can only be hard Brother Kunyu." ”

"Oh? I don't know what's going on? When Lin Yizhe heard Li Henian say this, he couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart.

It shouldn't be an easy thing to make these two old fritters in officialdom worry, right?

"A few days ago, a Japanese ship sank in distress in the Taiwan Strait, and several fishermen drifted to Taiwan, and disappeared after going ashore. Li Henian said, "The Japanese consul is worried about his life and asks for permission to send people into Taiwan to search. Brother Kunyu thinks that this matter should be handled? ”

Listening to Li Henian's words, Lin Yizhe was shocked.

"Taiwan is my Chinese territory, how can the Japanese casually enter and search for it? Whatever his consul asks, never allow! Lin Yizhe said, "Besides, how did the Japanese consul get the news?" How do you know that it's a Japanese fisherman and not a Ryukyu fisherman? ”

"I also think that the Japanese want to search for Taiwan, and they seem to have cunning intentions." Li Henian twisted his beard and said, "As for how the Japanese learned the news, there were two people who rescued the American merchant ship and sent it back to Japan, and the Japanese consul came to negotiate after receiving the report. The two rescued men were indeed Japanese, but there is nothing to say. ”

Listening to Li Henian's words about the Japanese fishermen rescued by the Americans, Lin Yizhe secretly said in his heart: I'm afraid that it may not be!

Because in his mind, a past has already surfaced!

In December 1871, the Chinese vassal Ryukyu Kingdom (also a vassal of the Satsuma Domain of Japan, which the Chinese side knew nothing about) routinely sent an envoy to pay tribute to the Qing court, but a storm on the way caused the ship to lose its course and drift to southern Taiwan, resulting in a conflict with the local Gaoshan people, 54 people were killed, and 12 people escaped with the help of the local Han people and moved to Fuzhou, where they were sent back to the Ryukyus by the Qing court.

The Qing court at that time did not know that this incident would become a pretext for Japan to get involved in Taiwan in the future!

The following year, in 1872, Japan coerced Ryukyu into becoming its "internal domain" and "canonized" Ryukyu King Shotai as the Ryukyu vassal king. In 1873, the Japanese Foreign Minister Vice-Shima Tanetomi and his entourage came to China to probe the Qing court's understanding of Taiwan's sovereignty under the guise of exchanging Sino-Japanese "Repair Regulations" On the pretext of killing, he led 4 warships and more than 3,600 officers and men of the army and navy to attack Taiwan!

The pretext for Japan's invasion of Taiwan was the "theory that there is no owner in the land," that is, the four words expressed by the Qing court officials that "the land is not owned outside of the land and the poor governance" was misinterpreted into "the land has no owner," which is not China's territory, so Japan can rely on it.

This is sophistry, admittedly. However, this sophistry of the Japanese government can be traced back to its historical origins -- as early as February 1867, the American merchant ship "Wanderer" was wrecked off the east coast of Taiwan, and the landers were killed by the local "Shengfan". Charles Williain Le Gendre, the U.S. consul in Xiamen, approached the Yamen, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the local officials of the Qing court, in order to shirk their responsibilities, put forward this seemingly reasonable but dug a big hole for themselves that the local people were "not returned to the king".

Li Xiande, of course, could not approve of the prevarication of the Qing court magistrates, and he said: "Over the past two hundred years, the Chinese have gradually expanded from the west coast to the east coast in the area of activity in Taiwan, in cooperation with the administrative power of the Chinese government in Taiwan, and in fact have never recognized the sovereignty of Shengfan over the land where they now live. The claim that the Shengfan area is not under China's jurisdiction is actually groundless. ”

Liu Mingdeng, the chief soldier of Taiwan Town, Fujian, who directly negotiated with Li Xiande, and Wu Dating, a concurrent scholar and politician of Taiwan Province in Fujian, said at the beginning of their memorabilia to the imperial court on this matter: "(The land of birth) is a bird's road and sheep intestines, deep and dense, and it is rarely visited by people, and it has not been collected on the map. I set up a ban on earth cattle and strict entry and exit prevention, so the murderous and heavy human life, the intention is far-reaching. ”

These magistrates, who were deeply influenced by the traditional Chinese "view of the world" and were ignorant of the concept of "territorial sovereignty" in the modern world, smug themselves that they had found an excellent reason to shirk responsibility for the incident, and so they wishfully believed in the recital:

"Special people are not Chinese, the land is not internal, Keri Tugong, all difficulties should be dealt with, and foreigners should also forgive."

The matter finally stabbed the Prime Minister's Yamen. After the meeting, Premier Yamen did not deny the wording of the negotiations in Fujian and Zhejiang, but at the same time he was aware of the problems, so he instructed the relevant officials in Fujian and Zhejiang in a secret letter, and specially emphasized the issue of the ownership of the territory of Taiwan's "Shengfan" region: "Although it is not a legal rope, its place is the ground of China, and the debate with the consul of that country should not reveal the theory that it is not China's territory, so as to cause foreigners to have their hearts."

In the traditional Chinese political discourse system of the Prime Minister Yamen, Taiwan's "Shengfan" region belongs to the "Chinese ground" and is undoubtedly China's territory; "Shengfan" has not been returned to "Wanghua", and Chinese law cannot govern "Shengfan". The two can coexist, and the latter is not a negation of the former. The former is similar to the "territorial sovereignty declaration" of the modern West, while the latter is based on the traditional Chinese "view of the world".

In the traditional Chinese "view of the world" system, the general outline is "under the whole world, it is not the king's land", and the central dynasties of the past dynasties regarded themselves as the center of civilization. Radiating outward from the center, there are different levels according to the degree of "civilization". In turn, it includes: Fan, Miao, Yi and local Tusi who live in their places and defend the territory for the country; the four descendants of the vassals who guard the gate and pay tribute; Beyond the vassals is the unknown. Its classic description is: China is in the middle of the world, and the four are in the middle of the world. China and the people of the five directions are "the world" and live together in the "four seas". There is no specific limit of territorial sovereignty in this "view of the world," and everything depends on the degree of "civilization and enlightenment."

After the Qing court incorporated Taiwan into its territory in 1683, its "Lifan" policy was always based on this concept of "Tianxia View" - although the whole island of Taiwan was within the territory, its people were divided into two levels, the people and the people, according to the level of education; "Fan" is divided into two kinds: "those who live deep in the inner mountains and do not obey the education are for a living"; "They live on flat land, and those who serve in accordance with the law are familiar." The former belongs to the "outside of the flower", and the latter must pay the "salary", and the imperial court can also transform the "raw fan" into the "cooked fan".
