293: Ten thousand dynasties come to congratulate
"Your Majesty the Emperor, Xiao Wang is willing to lead the Korean people to continue to submit to you, your orders will be unimpeded in Korea, as long as you need it, everything in North Korea will be provided to you unconditionally, I implore Your Majesty to accept the worship of the Korean people......" Li Xi fell to his knees and held the national letter in his hand high above his head. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, this letter of state has already been handed over to Wang Sirui, and today it is just a show, and the purpose is to show it to those powers.
"The mistakes of the previous DPRK should not be held responsible by the people of the DPRK!" Wang Sirui responded lightly.
Immediately, the little eunuch beside him stepped down from the high platform, took the letter of state from the hand of the Korean king Li Xi, and under Wang Sirui's instructions, opened the letter of state in public and announced the content of the letter to the public.
There is nothing unremarkable in this credential, and from the perspective of a subject country, it is completely within the scope of reasonableness, and there is not even any excessive demand.
In the letter of state, the king of Joseon, Yi Xi, implored the emperor of the Chinese Empire to canonize him, which is very important, and only after the canonization of the emperor of the upper kingdom, Li Xi can be regarded as the real king of Joseon.
In other words, if Wang Sirui canonized someone else, then Li Xi could only stand aside, and the position of the king of Joseon had nothing to do with him.
The second content is to denounce Japan's atrocities in Korea and implore God to help Korea train its troops and help Korea recover its country.
The third content is that Joseon will submit Bandai to the Chinese Empire and never change.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, I think that some of the contents of the Korean letter are not true, and the King of Joseon is even more swaying from side to side, and his will is uncertain.
As everyone knows, the "Treaty of Shimonoseki," which we signed eight years ago, clearly stipulated the independence of Korea, and now Korea is a completely independent kingdom, and the reason why Japan appeared in Korea is to help Korea become strong.
I can even assure you that unless the Koreans took the initiative to attack the Japanese troops stationed in Korea, the Japanese army would never have fired the first shot.
If His Majesty the Emperor accepts this credential, then it may arouse the anger of the people in the world, which is not good news for the beginning of the empire. Japanese Minister Komura Shoutaro hurriedly jumped out to stop him.
If you don't stop it now, it won't be so simple to stop it later.
Although Korea is still barren, it is extremely wealthy compared to Japan, and in one place, Korea is close to the Far East, and after the occupation of Korea, Japan can use decades of operation to make it a forward base for Japanese attacks on the Far East.
And if there is no Korea, then the Japanese army can only fight across the sea, and the difficulty of crossing the sea has been experienced by them as early as eight years ago, and absolutely no one wants to do it again.
At this moment, Komura Shoutaro doesn't care about the current occasion, let alone whether he has the right to speak, he only knows that for the sake of Japan's interests, in order not to make Japan return to the situation ten years ago, he must keep the Korean colony for Japan.
"Hmph, since ancient times, North Korea is my Chinese vassal country, historical records record, as early as more than 2,000 years ago at the end of the Shang Dynasty, there was Ji Korea, since then, North Korea has been our Chinese vassal state, Japan took advantage of our Chinese civil strife to sneak attack, forced the former dynasty to sign a humiliating treaty, which caused North Korea to break away from the country for several years. Could it be that the Japanese really think that today's Chinese Empire is still the former Qing Dynasty? It was none other than Wu Yang, the commander-in-chief of the Third Army, who participated in the first batch of awards and returned to Beijing.
As for the unreasonable behavior of the Japanese and the indiscriminate demolition of Taiwan, it has also caused dissatisfaction among many people. Even those great powers were ashamed of this move by Komura Shoutaro.
This is the enthronement ceremony, right? You are invited to come and witness to the service, not to be the opposite.
Even the British, who secretly had a deep hatred with the Chinese Empire, had no intention of standing up and making trouble at this moment.
After all, the establishment of the Chinese Empire, Wang Sirui's ascension to the throne as emperor has become a fact, and no matter how much trouble the outside world makes, it cannot change this result.
And the more they make trouble, the more detrimental it will be to their country's future interests in the Far East.
Of course, Korea was the lifeblood of the Japanese, and the flesh was not cut from them anyway, and these powers were actually happy to see the Chinese Empire and Japan fight, so that no one would have the heart to care about their actions in the Far East.
In one, if Wang Sirui accepts the Korean credentials, then it is foreseeable that in Korea, a large number of Imperial Chinese Army troops will be contained, so that in the northeast and Mongolia, will not the Russians be given a chance?
Although the Russians are not popular among the great powers, as long as they can bite Wang Sirui, the other powers are still happy to support them.
As for the cute little Japan, where to stay cool, you are not satisfied with a chance to be a dog, and you still want to be the owner, do you think this is possible?
"You...... If you don't even dare to admit the things that came before, how can you be called the state of etiquette? Komura Shoutaro was a little angry, and subconsciously retorted.
Wang Sirui was immediately amused by Komura Shoutaro's statement, I really don't know how this little devil's head grows? Doesn't he know the inconsistencies in his words?
"Since you have asked this question, I will make an exception to answer you once, and I hope that you Japanese will not ask such childish questions again in the future." Wang Sirui sneered at Komura Shoutaro: "I only ask you, what qualifications do you, a Japanese, have to stand up against the decision made by an independent Korea?" ”
"You ......" Listening to Wang Sirui's words, Komura Shoutaro suddenly felt that his mind was blank.
Yes, what right do the Japanese have to oppose the decision made by an independent Korea?
The problem, however, is that although Korea is nominally independent, in reality Korea is a Japanese colony, but the two sides have not signed a specific agreement.
But the important thing is that the whole world has acquiesced to this fact.
But then again, without real evidence, in the end it is still nothing.
"As a superior state, the empire has an obligation to help North Korea solve the current predicament." Wang Sirui nodded in turn and continued: "I have named you the king of North Korea and led all walks of life in North Korea. ”
"Thank you, Lord Longne!" The king of Joseon, Li Xi, kowtowed excitedly and thanked him.
Although he was only canonized, he was originally the king of Joseon, and he did not reply to the latter two requests, but in fact, he agreed to Li Xi's request.
From this moment on, Korea once again became a vassal state of the Chinese Empire, while the Japanese were as if they had eaten a yellow lotus, miserable, but they dared not speak out.
Wang Sirui's promise was quite light, but the Japanese were not at all uncomfortable, withdrawing troops from North Korea? Or continue to increase the number of troops?
These are very serious problems for the Japanese, and if they are not done well, Japan will once again fall into the quagmire of war, and Japan's current economy cannot support a war of this magnitude.
But giving up North Korea, this is what the Japanese do not want to see, after all, they spent so much energy to swallow North Korea, and just returned it, what is this called?
Not to mention that the Japanese government did not dare to agree, even the Japanese people would never agree to such a humiliating treaty.
Because of this matter, if it is not done well, the cabinet is expected to step down again.
Looking at the attitude of the representatives of the other powers with nothing to do, Komura Shoutaro instantly felt the urge to vomit blood, of course, if Komura Shoutaro didn't know the thoughts of those powers at this time, then these decades would be equivalent to living in vain.
But this matter is obviously not something that Komura Shoutaro can call the shots alone, and he must send the news back to China as soon as possible.
Can't help it, Komura Shoutaro's hatred for Wang Sirui is also more ten, without Wang Sirui before, the Japanese can be described as a spring breeze, and then look at the present, they have suffered several defeats in succession, although because of the relationship between the powers, Japan did not sign a humiliating treaty with the Chinese Empire to pay reparations or anything, but the favorable treaties signed between Japan and the Chinese Empire have also been abolished by the Chinese Empire.
As a result, Japan, which has made drastic changes in reform and development, has also put great pressure on the economy.
And because Wang Sirui did not abolish the treaties of other powers, the other powers also expressed their calmness in this matter, and did not intend to completely tear face with Wang Sirui because of the Japanese.
This time, taking advantage of the establishment of the Chinese Empire and the complete abrogation of the Xinchou Treaty, the Japanese originally thought that the great powers would gather together to protest, but it turned out that they did not intend to do so.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, President Theodore Roosevelt of the United States and the American people have entrusted me to congratulate you and your people on their behalf, and hope that under your leadership, the Chinese Empire will become strong and the Chinese nation will be able to straighten its back, and the American people will always be friends with your country." Seeing that the atmosphere between the two sides was becoming more and more tense, Rou Keyi hurriedly jumped out to congratulate.
As the first person to eat crabs, the benefits he gets are often unimaginable to others, and this can be determined by Rou Keyi without thinking.
"The people of the empire are willing to be good friends with the people of the United States, and the people of the empire will not forget the friendship of their friends in the United States. Wang Sirui smiled and replied.
The Chinese Empire is indeed a state of etiquette, but this is principled, if you respect me, I will respect you, even if there is a bad history of exchanges with the United States, but the Americans gave him face at this time, Wang Sirui naturally will not reach out to slap people in the face.
Immediately afterwards, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and other countries also expressed their congratulations, and Wang Sirui also replied one by one, and even when the Japanese sent congratulations, Wang Sirui did not treat him coldly.
After this incident, the representatives of these great powers realized that Wang Sirui was indeed a difficult opponent to deal with, and at least in their case, they would never be able to treat the Japanese who had just dismantled their own Taiwan like Wang Sirui.
