The red sun is rising, and its way is bright; The river flows out of the subterranean flow, and the ocean is poured out; The hidden dragon soars into the abyss, and the scales and claws are flying; The milk tiger roars in the valley, and the beasts are terrified; The falcon tries its wings, and the wind and dust are blowing; Strange flower firstborn, the emperor; The cadres will be hairy, and there will be their mangs; The sky wears its blue, and the earth wears its yellow; Throughout the ages, there are eight wildernesses; The future is like the sea, and the future is long. ~~~ Beautiful, I am young in China, and I am not old with the sky! Strong, I am a Chinese boy, and the country has no borders!

This was the only speech made by the emperor at the graduation ceremony of the first class of students in the Beijing Normal University Hall, but this short juvenile Chinese speech really aroused the surging enthusiasm of the students in the University Hall. All the students stood up impulsively and repeated loudly over and over again.

"Recalling the heroic style of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and then looking at the decadence of the Qing Dynasty today. I'm only twenty-six years old, and you're twenty-two or three. It is precisely because of our youth that we have momentum. Because of our youth, we have revenge. Then tell me why we can't build a new China. The wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the country, and the strength of the youth is the strength of the country. Young, so the future is long. Young, so anything is possible. The words fell, only the emperor's fist was raised high, and the shadow of an ambitious, ambitious, and invincible emperor was deeply engraved into the minds of every student.

The old principal Rong Hong asked for this young Chinese doctrine to be established as the school motto, and Premier Li Hongzhang said that this statement was enough for the national motto and ancestral motto.

In the face of Guangxu, who was touted by the Holy Monarch and the sycophants, he accepted it calmly. But if you want Guangxu to mention words, don't even think about it. With the words of dogs crawling in one hand, don't be embarrassed in front of these writers. Finally, please write this article with a splash of ink on the Prime Minister. It is necessary to engrave the inscription and set up a monument as a national motto for future generations. Then ask Rong Hong to write down 'the wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the country, and the strength of the youth is the strength of the country', and make a plaque to hang on the gate of the university hall. Establish as the school motto.

After the graduation ceremony, the graduating students with their luggage on their backs left in twos and threes.

Inside the school gate, Guangxu could only look at An Qian quietly: "Since my identity as emperor was revealed, you will no longer see me." If it weren't for this time to force you down, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen you this time. Tell me, why? ”

"There is no why. You are the emperor, and the concubine is just a people's daughter. It is a blessing to be able to see the face of the sky. The concubine body is already content. ”

"I have never forgotten that rainy night before the first year of the expedition, you said that I could come to you at any time. Have you forgotten everything? ”

"I will always remember Young Master Li Ming who left that night. But he never came back. ”

"Li Ming?" Guangxu smiled gloomily: "Do you hate the identity of Emperor I, or do you hate me as a person?" ”

"There is no difference, if the emperor has no other orders, the concubine will retire."

"What if I rob you into the palace?" Guangxu has a somewhat hideous face.

Anxi, who was about to turn away after the salute, stopped. The voice was still steady: "For the sake of the family." The concubine will not resist. ”

Guangxu took a deep breath: "I never forced you to do anything. It didn't, it won't, it won't, and it won't. Let's go. ”

Anqian glanced up at Guangxu, and as soon as the four eyes met, Guangxu turned his head to look in other directions. Anqian turned around and left after giving a salute, Guangxu didn't know that the moment the train left the platform, Anxi was already in tears. Neither of them thought that this parting would almost become a farewell.

"Huang Ling. Come on, come on. Looking at Huang Ling who was running upside down, Guangxu collected his sad mood and smiled and beckoned Huang Ling over.

"Are you going to see Young Master Li or are you going to see the emperor?" Huang Ling asked with a smile.

"It doesn't make a difference anymore. But don't bother. Guangxu asked: "The ministers in the court do not agree with women as officials, where do you plan to go after finishing your studies?" ”

"Sister Qian'er refused to be hired by the hospital, and she wants to go back to Guangzhou."

"What about you?"

"It turned out that it was me, and I was going back to Guangzhou." Huang Ling was obviously a little reluctant to speak.

"If you want to stay in the capital, you can stay, and if there is a place you want to go, tell me, this is very proud for me.

Huang Ling pouted and said, "My father wants me to go back, and I can't help it." ”

"That's okay. Tell me your address, and I'll go to see you in Guangzhou." ”

"If you want to go see Sister Qian'er, just say, you don't have to be embarrassed if you are a man or the emperor."

was said to have broken his mind, Guangxu said with an unchanging face: "If you look at it, you will see it." Ahh

"The school's student register has the detailed address of our home." Huang Ling quickly became happy again.

"Why didn't you see Li Ju Lotus?"

"She was going to Taiwan to accompany her husband, so she left first. Sister Zao'er will stay as a gentleman. If nothing else does, I'll go first, and I'll have to catch the train. Huang Ling said with a smile, picking up her luggage and preparing to leave.

"Go back, and don't waste what you've learned in the school. Let's go, let's go and benefit the township. Guangxu ordered the guards to come forward to help, and asked the guards to send people on the train to settle down, and then waved Huang Ling away.

There is no interest in hanging out anymore, Guangxu is silently Yingtai. What I didn't expect was that I was blocked by Ogena on the Yingtai Bridge.

"Your Majesty, I hope that your government can give a reasonable explanation, otherwise we will regard this behavior as a challenge to the British Empire." Holding back his anger, Ogna, who followed Guangxu into the Purple Light Pavilion, broke out, and a telegram reached in front of Guangxu.

Challenging the UK? What are you kidding, is Britain something that the Qing can challenge? Guangxu comforted Ogna with kind words while receiving the telegram. The telegram was sent by the Singapore Detachment of the British Far East Fleet. Yesterday afternoon, the battleship Longxiao of the Qing Pacific Fleet, led two light cruisers and two destroyers, under the pretext of protecting the Chinese on the island of Sumatra, ignored the warnings of the British Singapore squadron, forcibly rushed past the interception of the British Singapore squadron, and crossed the Strait of Malacca all the way up to the northwest.

"Bastard, what are they trying to do? Is this a rebellion? Guangxu picked up the teacup on the table and slammed it on the ground, with a "snap". Fragments of porcelain flew down to Ogner's feet.

Guangxu's reaction was beyond Ogner's imagination, he thought that Guangxu should be looking for a reason to justify himself, but he didn't expect Guangxu's anger to be greater than him. Ogner, who originally wanted to question Guangxu, was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.

"They turned against the sky. Who gave them the order to cross the Strait of Malacca? Who told them that they could pass through other countries' waters without permission? Who gave them so much guts? Guangxu reached out and pushed all the items on the table to the ground.

Guangxu's anger not only frightened Ogner, but also the guards and palace people inside and outside the palace. For a while, all the palace maids and eunuchs fell to their knees, and the guards outside the door also knelt on the ground in silence and did not dare to make any sound. For fear that a strange noise would disturb the emperor, the emperor in anger would hang their heads on the palace gate for public display.

Ogner looked around and found that in the place where he could see, only Guangxu and him were standing on the temple. The others fell to their knees. This made him stand out very prominently, but he was a British national and the foreign secretary to China was not a Qing national, so naturally he would not kneel. But it doesn't seem right to keep pestle like this. Ogna couldn't help but think about it, bowed his waist and said to Guangxu with a half-bow etiquette: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, although your country's detachment has behaved inappropriately, but the heart is that the naval officers and men are concerned about the Chinese on the island. ”

"Protecting the Chinese can ignore diplomatic etiquette? Can you do whatever you want to protect the Chinese? Today they dared to storm the British lines despite warnings. Do you dare to shoot at the British ** ship tomorrow? Guangxu's anger did not decrease. Kicked down the dragon case.

When the dragon case fell to the ground, the sound of "bang" echoed in Ogner's ears like a loud noise. Although Ogener believed that the Qing navy did not have the courage to fire at the British, he dared to charge today and might dare to shoot at the British fleet tomorrow. In the unlikely event that a misfire occurs, whether it hits or not, it will lead to the possibility of war between the two countries. And the war between two countries separated by half a world......

Ogner was taken aback by his thoughts, and hurriedly spoke out to persuade Guangxu: "Your Majesty, the soldiers of your country are just in a hurry to protect the expatriates. It's just a bit of a mistake in the urgency, and the situation that His Majesty envisions will definitely not happen. ”

"You and I don't know the details of what happened. But everyone knows that Singapore is British territory. You drive a battleship and rush to someone's house without saying a word, how is this different from a declaration of war? If it weren't for you British, you wouldn't have looked deeper. Otherwise, it would not be surprising that you declared war on behalf of Britain against the Qing Dynasty. But can they afford the consequences? Guangxu was still furious.

"No, no, no." Ogna waved his hands and explained: "As far as I know now, this detachment of your country is led by General Li Liang, the captain of the Longxiao. Before entering the Strait of Malacca, they informed them of their course and goals through flags, but General Li Liang was in a hurry and had already entered the Strait of Malacca before waiting for the final permission of the Governor of Singapore. The reality is not as serious as His Majesty imagined. ”

Maybe he was too angry, although Guangxu was a little less angry after Ogner's explanation, he was still angry: "Entering his defense zone without consent will not last long." Spread the Yang degree. ”

As the emperor's secretary general, Yang Du's office was set up in the outer hall of the Purple Light Pavilion. The voice summoned by the emperor came from the hall, and he had already appeared at the door of the palace. When he stepped into the palace gate with his front foot, the emperor began to give an order.

"Immediately draw up an edict and send an edict to all ships of the Qing Navy. All warships are not allowed to act without orders, and those who violate their will will will not be killed. Then he sent an order to the Pacific Fleet and the South Sea Fleet, and after receiving the order, immediately stop all military operations, return to Pontianak and stand by, and execute those who disobey the order. Then he sent an order to the governor of Nanyang, Tang Shaoyi, to go to Singapore first to apologize to the British Governor of Singapore and appease the Nanyang Chinese. ”

Yang Du didn't say a word, picked up the pen and paper that was placed aside and began to draft the purpose. Ogna also nodded, Guangxu drafted the holy decree and ordered the fleet in front of him, this approach made him very satisfied with Guangxu's attitude and way of dealing with it.

The will was quickly drafted, and Yang Du presented the decree with the emperor's approval, but said in his hand: "Your Majesty, now that the Pacific Fleet and the South Sea Fleet have been scattered on the sea, I am afraid that the will will will not be conveyed for a while. Please also ask the emperor to know. "When you're done, you're going to step down.

"Slow." Guangxu motioned for Yang Du to stay, but turned to Ogner and said, "Mr. Minister, now there are no fast ships in the Qing Nanyang to pass on the decree. I intend to ask the British fleet to send a message to the ships scattered in the South Seas on behalf of the Qing Dynasty. I don't know if it's possible? Of course, I won't let your fleet run in vain, and I can pay the appropriate fee. What do you think, Mr. Minister? ”

The British fleet was approaching the Qing fleet at high speed, and at the same time raised the flag: By the will of the emperor of your country, I order you to stop your ships immediately. Then the Qing fleet stopped under the orders of the British fleet and accepted the command of the British fleet. Ogener could imagine such a scene, and he even thought that the British naval officers might not have the phrase "at the will of the Qing Emperor" in the flag of the Qing fleet. Because on the sea, the orders of the British Imperial fleet, that is, the laws of the sea, no one dares to disobey them. But he said: "I believe that our fleet is willing to help Your Majesty." Just what if your fleet does not listen to your holy decree? ”

"Yang Du, add a sentence to the decree sent to the South Sea Fleet and the Pacific Fleet: All ships are instructed to be arranged by the British fleet to return to Pontianak, and those who resist the order are regarded as rebellions, and I authorize the British fleet to sink them on the spot." Guangxu said very resolutely.

Ogna was very satisfied and left the palace, and I believe that the incident of the Qing fleet's attack on the Strait of Malacca should end here. Although the Qing did not give any explanation for this matter, the Qing had the British fleet pass on the Qing command and the Qing fleet under the command of the British fleet, which showed that the Qing had submitted to the British Empire. As long as the propaganda emphasizes that the Qing attack on the Strait of Malacca is to protect overseas Chinese, in this way, the Europeans who put the lives of their citizens first will understand it except for the Dutch. At the same time, by paying the cost of the British fleet to pass on the decree on behalf of the Qing state, this was the economic compensation of the Qing state to the British disguise. Moreover, it was precisely by taking advantage of this incident that the British government could also explain to the Dutch government, which had been imploring Britain to mediate the Qing-Dutch war, that the current situation in the South Seas was just about to bring back the Qing fleet.

"Sir, I always thought that this time it should be His Majesty the Guangxu Emperor of the Qing Kingdom to persuade you. Why did you become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty to persuade you? ”

Listening to the adjutant's question, Ogner also reacted at this time. But he smiled and said, "But what does it matter? Our goal has been achieved, and what we need now is to ask the government for instructions on how much compensation the Qing country needs to pay. You tell me? (To be continued......) u
