Chapter 65 Indemnity for Land Cession

Korea, Liaodong fell one after another. The army is raising troops to attack Shanhaiguan at night, and the Qing government and the opposition are shocked!

A few months ago, there was a big battle between the Qing State and the navy of Yuben in the Incheon Sea of North Korea, and the Beiyang Fleet that had been watching its own fight was not bad, and the emperor and empress dowager of the Qing State thought that her side was going to win. As for the Korean war situation on land, defeat is defeat, and the Qing court didn't take it seriously, and they didn't think that the war situation was so corrupt now, and they said that they had already gone deep into the land of Longxing in the northeast.

In fact, at this time, he himself was already at the end of the crossbow, a large number of troops were short of supplies, and each 75-mm mountain gun of the third brigade of the forward army was damaged by more than 60%, and the remaining shells were only enough to fire 4 guns per gun. In addition, the soldiers' winter clothes were also very scarce, and some of the soldiers in Shanhaiguan even caught fire in order to snatch the cotton boots of the corpses of the Qing soldiers.

It can be said that at this time, Yue Ben was also hesitating to negotiate peace with the Qing State, but these were not known to the Qing State.

Qing Kingdom, Yanjing Forbidden City

"Has the minister sent to negotiate peace come to Yuben?"

After glancing at the important ministers of the court in front of him, Emperor Guangxu asked in a low voice.

"Tell the emperor, it's here!" Weng Tongsu, the head of the household department, stepped forward and replied, "However, the other side has once again refused to negotiate with our country. ”

When Guangxu heard this, he turned his head to look at Weng Tongsu, "This ...... What does this country want? ”

"Your Majesty!" Prince Qing Yixuan said with a little embarrassment, "I have posted a letter of advice in various parts of the Northeast now, and the minister ...... I really don't know what to tell you...... Please take a look. ”

Guangxu glanced at Yixuan and didn't understand what else he didn't dare to say in public.

Taking the paper handed over by the eunuch, Guangxu unfolded it and looked at it-

He said that his country gave open and honest advice to the heroes of the eighteen provinces of China: "The sages have a saying: 'Virtue is ordered, and merit is rewarded.'" He also said: 'Only fate is not normal, the good will get it, and the bad will be lost by the sages.' 'One of the barbarians outside the original Sai clan of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, neither the virtue of the order, nor the merit of China, took advantage of Zhu Ming's declining luck, violently robbed, pretended to be for a while, and the opportunity was full of changes, and the world was skillful. At that time, Haojie was invincible by force, and he swallowed hatred and held anger to this day, covering the so-called people who are victorious over the sky. Now is also the time when heaven will prevail over man...... The people of your country are of the same species, the same culture, and the same ethics as my own nation, and they have a friendship of glory and honor, and there is no hatred for them. I hope to forgive the sincerity of my disciples, never suspect the thoughts, observe the backs of heaven and man, and follow the general trend of the world, sing the righteousness of the Central Plains, entangle the strong men, the revolutionary army, in order to chase the Manchu Qing clan abroad, rise up the real heroes in the recklessness and support the great cause, and then reform the barnyard government, eliminate the people's harm, go to the false text and follow the will of Confucius and Mencius politics and religion, and verify and restore the rule of the three generations of emperors. I waited in vain. Fortunately, one of the Qing and others sang, and I should beg for righteousness in the palace. Therefore, the ship carried food and weapons, and made an appointment to go to the ribs. There is no time to lose, and the opportunity will not come back. The ancients did not say anything: if the sky does not take it, it will be blamed. Qing waited for the speed. Don't be laughed at by Mingzu! ”

The more Guangxu looked down, the more angry he felt in his heart, and at the same time he unconsciously felt a chill, and was about to open his mouth to scold, Guangxu suddenly felt dizzy, and his body almost fell.

"Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty! Please take care of your dragon's body! ”

Weng Tongsu and the others glared angrily, "Why are you showing this to the emperor?" ”

In the confusion, someone who didn't know why picked up the paper that had been thrown on the ground, opened his eyes to look at it, and immediately put it down after a few glances, and didn't dare to look at it again.

"This ...... I said that I want to dig up my ancestral grave in the Qing Dynasty~"

Guangxu couldn't stop trembling as he spoke, "Quick! Go and ask the countries to mediate! Let Li Hongzhang of the book tell him that as long as they agree to negotiate peace, I will ...... I did not hesitate to pay compensation and cede land. ”

Before the words were finished, the Guangxu people had already fainted!

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Quick, call the Imperial Doctor!"

South Seas, Republic of Seris

"Führer, I said that I have begun to attack Penghu! According to your order, our submarine forces have sunk all the transport fleets of the Japanese army! The small number of troops that landed on it were also annihilated by our marines! ”

"In addition, the whole of the Dongxue Party has once again sent us a letter asking for help. Jin Mingde also said that the Dongxue Party members are about to be unable to hold on! ”

Hearing this, Chen Zeyu suddenly turned around, his narrow eyes suddenly opened, and landed on the map behind him like a blade.

Slapping the East Asian region on the map, Chen Zeyu said word by word, "Give orders to the army and navy headquarters respectively, and the second step of the tsunami plan will begin!" ”

"Yes! Monarch! ——”

……

On January 22, 1895, the Serris War Department suddenly issued a wartime summoning order to 12 of the 15 divisions of the military subdivisions across the country, which stipulated that all troops receiving the summoning order must arrive at the Sizhejiang Military Subdivision before 7 a.m. on the 28th of that month.

On January 29th, the first army unit of the Republic of Seris began to load ships from Sizhejiang Port, aiming directly at the north!

On 2 February, when the army units of the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Integrated Division of Seris, with the cooperation of the navy, captured Jeju Island in Yueben, the two sides also formally signed a peace treaty on this day in the far north, known as the "Treaty of Qingmaguan."

The full text of the "Treaty of Shimonoseki," which was signed under the auspices of Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi and Li Hongzhang of the Qing Dynasty, is as follows.

First, the Qing Dynasty recognized Korea as a state of readiness from then on, and the Qing Dynasty promised not to interfere in Korea's state affairs in the future.

Second, all the army units of the Qing Dynasty retreated from the Liaodong Peninsula of the Qing State.

Third, the Qing Dynasty opened up Guangzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou to the country as commercial ports.

Fourth, the Qing State ceded the island of Taiwan and all its affiliated islands and the Penghu Islands to the Empire.

Fifth, the Qing government will compensate a total of 140 million taels of silver in five installments as military expenses. The first batch of 60 million taels of silver will be paid before April of the 20th year of Guangxu, and the balance will be paid in four installments from the second year, 20 million taels per year.

Agreement signing: (Qing Guo: Li Hongzhang, said: Ito Hirobumi) signed the date: February 2, 1**5 years.

After the news came out, the Qing people immediately became angry, condemning the treason of the Qing court and advocating the continuation of the war of resistance.

The local people in Taiwan who were involved were even more indignant and held strikes one after another, some of them flocked to the governor's office, and some wrote to the Qing court to protest against the cession of Taiwan, resolutely expressing that "I hope everyone will die in battle and lose Taiwan, and will never give up Taiwan." Tan Haoqiang, the county governor of Tainan County, actively expanded the "Xiang Yong" and said that he would lead his subordinates to defend Taiwan, which immediately aroused the response of the people, and Liu Yongfu, Tang Jingsong and others all joined in with their own troops!

History has changed, but some things still seem to be impossible. With the help of Seris, the Qing Dynasty's Beiyang fleet had already fought like that with Yue himself, but after a big battle, they were actually ordered by their court not to go to sea.

Later, Chen Zeyu arranged for the Dongxue Party to support North Korea in China, thinking that he could cause some trouble to himself in the rear, and the situation of the Qing Kingdom should be better. I didn't expect that in the end, it was still in vain, and history was unwilling to give the Manchus any more time after all!

The winner of all things in the world survives! Those who are inferior and do not want to make progress will eventually be eliminated by history!

Chen Zeyu couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at the articles of the Treaty of Qing-Shimonoseki published in the Seris newspaper at hand.

Wu Xiatong, his wife beside him, poked her head over and asked, "Hanyin, what are you looking at?" ”

"The peace treaty signed by the Qing State and the Yue himself." Chen Zeyu gave his wife a smile.

Wu Xiatong was puzzled, "Does this have anything to do with us?" ”

"Not now, but soon, because this treaty will soon be a piece of waste paper."

Chen Zeyu touched the puppy lying on his lap, this guy didn't know when he ran up from under his nose.

After holding it to the side and getting up from the sofa, Chen Zeyu took the special line phone on the side of the table and said to the operator, "Pick up the Ministry of Defense ...... for me."
