Chapter 408: Heavenly Damnation
The paper couldn't contain the fire, and the news that Pu Yi was abducted to Japan still came to fruition. Chinese folk sentiment has been around for a long time, especially during Qiao Yu's administration, conflicts broke out between China and Japan one after another, and the accumulation of resentment has reached a considerable extent.
The Chinese government also lodged a serious protest and demanded that Japan return Boyi to China as soon as possible, but the Japanese side initially insisted that it did not know what was going on, and then Japan's Asahi Shimbun began to expose the Chinese government's persecution of Puyi in four pages.
His Excellency the Manchu Emperor Aixinjue Luo Boyi, as the monarch of a country, the Chinese government denied their treaty of preferential treatment of the Qing family, and severely persecuted His Majesty the Emperor, and Mr. Fu Yi had to work for more than 16 hours a day, and he was beaten with only one nest head at a meal......."
At the end of the article, the Asahi Shimbun strongly appealed to the Japanese government to grant Boyi asylum and grant him a request for political asylum.
The Japanese government immediately issued a statement, saying that in the spirit of humanitarianism, formally consider Boyi's application for political asylum, and the voices of condemnation in China are endless, of course, some people have come out to say strange things, accusing the Chinese government of treating Fu Yi too harshly, and a university professor several emotional wrote: I looked through the history books, only found the word cannibalism, from ancient times to the present, all the same, a seventeen-year-old child was forced to labor, no different from a prisoner, of course, he also has to be glad that he lives in a democratic country, no need to hang himself on the coal mountain, The same is cannibalism, one is swallowed in one bite, and the other is slowly bitten to death, this is the biggest difference between democracy and autocracy!
For a time, the cannibalism was rampant, and many people joined the discussion, saying that the Chinese government's actions were undermining human rights, and that it was better to go to Japan to enjoy the basic dignity of the monarch than to let Boyi suffer in China.
Just when these literati were sad and angry, the former regent Zaifeng suddenly published an article on the declaration, sternly refuting the reports of the Japanese Asahi Shimbun from time to time, although the Manchu nobles had to accept labor reform, but the labor time was no different from that of ordinary farmers, and they could also be fed and clothed, and more importantly, the royal family was in the past, and the living people always had the skills to survive, what was wrong with learning farm work, Zaifeng also scolded the Japanese government, with ulterior motives, causing the father and son to separate, is a robber, is a conspirator, Zaifeng demanded that the Japanese government must return Boyi as soon as possible so that the family can be reunited.
Zaifeng is Boyi's biological father, his words are naturally very weighty, and those who say that the so-called professor was immediately stuck in the neck, but after some careful preparation, they threw out the conclusion that Zaifeng was brainwashed!
"Some people say that bitches are ruthless, and dramas are unrighteous! In my opinion, this literati are ruthless and unrighteous, how can they be so reversible black and white, they are simply killable! ”
"Brother Baili, some things are better than sparse, this kind of people have existed since ancient times, and there is no way to get rid of them, if you want to really eliminate them, you can only rely on the improvement of the quality of the people, and when the world is all readers, when most of the people have learned to think independently, they are not like others, and when they can have a normal mentality, these literary thieves will naturally be finished, but what we need to do now is not to be swayed by their remarks, what to do!"
"What the prime minister said is, it's just that it's still a little difficult not to be influenced by them, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Qingliu forces were so strong, not only about the scholars, but also the common people were fooled by them, and the court policy had to listen to their fiddling, and finally the Ming Dynasty fell to the country, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty eventually fell into the fish and meat of the great powers. …,
"Brother Baili, I have already arranged for Huang Yuanyong to do the matter of public opinion propaganda, a few people want to confront the state apparatus is self-defeating, don't care about these flies at all, I am more concerned about the so-called provisional government of the Republic of Korea, this is the best opportunity for us to intervene in the situation on the Korean Peninsula, I don't know how the preparations are?"
"The prime minister can rest assured, now that the shelf has been erected, there are still many exiled Korean democrats in China, they all have great hatred for the Japanese, and some of the most radical young people have formed a martyrdom group, there are more than 40 of them, and when I see these people, I think of the Chinese youth in Xinhai back then, the same enthusiasm, but also the same short-sightedness!"
Jiang Baili's words were also inspired by the fact that those enthusiastic young people of the Kuomintang regarded Japan as a base for overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they were not clear with Japan. However, the current North Koreans seem to have made this mistake, will China really be so kind to help them restore the country, but they are all chess pieces!
"It's good to have only blood, we have a dog, we have to let him bite at a critical moment, if it's too wretched, it's better to stew and eat meat!"
"The Prime Minister can rest assured that Kim Koo has selected ten elites from the martyrdom corps, who have secretly sneaked back to North Korea with weapons and bombs, to prepare to assassinate Japanese officials, and several more people will carry out suicide attacks, so as to present the formation of the provisional government of the Republic of Korea!"
And just when China and Japan were fighting a war of words over Puyi, a natural curse befell the island nation...... "At about 11:50 on September 1, 1923, it was nearly noon, and most families in the Kanto region of Japan were preparing lunch. Suddenly, there was a terrible roar from the ground, and then the earth shook violently, and in an instant the house collapsed, and many people were stoned to death in the house before they could react.
This is the Great Kanto Earthquake that shook the world, and the epicenter of the earthquake was in Sagami Bay, southwest of Tokyo Bay, and along this coast there are many small towns in addition to the two major cities of Tokyo and Yokohama, collectively known as the Kanto region.
It is the political, economic, and cultural center of Japan, with a dense population, developed industry, and a prosperous economy, and has gathered all the essence of the Meiji Restoration, industry, and human resources.
The epicenter is about 60 kilometers away from Yokohama, about 90 kilometers away from Tokyo, there are a large number of wooden houses in this generation, which were instantly engulfed in flames, and there is no time to dodge, in fact, it can also be seen from here that Japan is unrepentant, the Kanto earthquake has caused them heavy losses, and these Japanese do not know how to repent, and when the United States bombed with incendiary bombs in World War II, Japan was once again in hell.
This time, when the earthquake struck, it was cooking time at noon, and the house collapsed and caught fire almost immediately, although the fire in Tokyo and Yokohama was small at first, due to the destruction of underground water supply pipes, the firefighting facilities were also destroyed, and many streets were crowded and narrow, and firefighters could not put out the fires at all.
When the fire approached, people rushed to flee with their household belongings and rubbers, which blocked traffic, delayed the fire, and brought the fire across the road, so that the fire continued to spread.
The flames continued to spread and devour one life after another, especially tragic in Tokyo's Shitamachi District, about 40,000 people fled to the clothing factory square for refuge because of the downwind, soon the square was surrounded by fierce fires, there was no way to escape, many splashed sparks came with the wind, clothes and furniture began to burn, and the entire refuge square was in flames. …,
Some people who couldn't bear to barbecue jumped into the river and either drowned or were scalded to death by the hot river water, driving thousands of people to burn alive here. The fire burned for 3 days until it burned out, in this disaster the Japanese fully realized what is called the two heavens of water and fire, the violent earthquake first brought the fire, put countless Japanese into the hell of fire, there are many Japanese jumped into the lake and seawater, water and fire are incompatible, this is the most normal choice, but who knows that because the fire is too big, the lake water is also boiling, and these people are boiled alive.
Those who jumped into the sea were even more unfortunate, several oil depots near the beach exploded, and more than 100,000 tons of oil flowed into Yokohama Bay, and in an instant the entire bay became a sea of fire, and countless Japanese were roasted alive along with the fish and turtles in the sea!
This curse did not end, the aftershocks continued, and what was worse was that the earthquake also triggered a massive tsunami, and the monstrous waves crashed into the ports, docks, and beaches along the coast of Xiangmo Bay like a demon, and this is the place where the victims thought it was a safe place to live, the buildings here were scarce, the fire could not be burned, and there were no broken walls, but the heavens punished them with an even more terrifying tsunami as if it were joking with them!
The sea suddenly lost the gentleness and romance of the literati's pen, and became hideous and terrifying, and when the victims of the evacuation saw the huge waves of more than ten meters high rushing all over the sky, they rushed inland and trampled to death, especially the elderly, children and women, at this time the Japanese completely abandoned the old camouflage and became full of bestiality, and a large number of children were trampled to death.
In fact, it is difficult to escape from the tiger's mouth of the tsunami, because the huge waves rush to the coast at a speed of yo kilometers per hour, so the people on the shore are instantly swallowed by the big waves, or swept into the depths of the ocean, or thrown into the air by the big waves, and some are thrown to land by the huge waves, and it is useless to escape.
After the sea receded, more than 8,000 ships of all kinds were taken away, and the hand of nature was indeed beyond the reach of human beings, and the large and small ports and docks in Tokyo, Yokohama, Yokosuka, and Chiba were all paralyzed, and these places experienced a real catastrophe.
Due to the outbreak of the earthquake, the yen, stocks, and bonds all fell wildly, and there was a great tendency to turn into a blank slate, and the originally lively Japanese economy instantly became dead and lifeless.
At this time, the shock in Zhu Shunchang's heart is indescribable, the Chinese government began to make arrangements a few months ago, is there really a god in the Chinese government who can predict the earthquake in Japan a few months in advance, and will short the yen and bonds.
Zhu Shunchang, who originally believed in gold, was also ready to pray to God and worship Buddha at this time, maybe there was really divine power in this world, no matter how shocked Zhu Shunchang was, but he still had to be loyal, quickly turn the numbers on the books into real dollars, and then retreat the capital to the United States, and finally turn back to China, this time because the capital of the United States and Britain did not know about the Kanto earthquake, by the time they reacted, they had lost the first hand!
Seeing that China's capital is making a lot of money, this time China has at least made more than 100 million profits, although it still has to go through the United States to return to China safely, but it is enough for the Chinese government to earn more than 80 million, and the financial gap will be filled in an instant!
