Chapter 517 Respect for Japan's territorial and sovereign integrity
"Your Majesty. Just now, Mr. Guo sent someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to report that Wei Toma and Japanese Ambassador to Beijing Yanagihara Maemitsu had rushed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and formally submitted a letter of protest to China over the Singapore incident.
Yanagihara Maemitsu also said that the Japanese government in Tokyo has officially ordered the conquest of the Southwest Domain, and that any future assistance from China to the Southwest Domain will be condemned as a provocative and unfriendly act against the Japanese emperor and the Tokyo government. The Tokyo government of Japan hopes that Japan will do its best to announce the severance of ties with Japan's southwestern domain. Support the Japanese government's legitimate and righteous actions to unify the country and eradicate the rebellion! ”
Ding Zhenduo is still serving as Liu Xian's chief attendant, but he is about to change his seat. Liu Xian stood up straight, looked at the wall clock with his hands behind his back, and his psychological face was very moisturized, hearing such words from the mouth of the little devil who dared to be angry and dare not speak, with the current strength of China, it is a normal thing, and he is really comfortable in his heart. "Little devils don't have to deal with them. Wittoma? We don't know, a qiē has nothing to do with us. ”
"If the British really have proof, now Wittoma is not going to the Foreign Office, but to see me."
The attendant on the side brought a basin of cold water, and Liu Xian wiped his face with a towel, he didn't close his eyes almost overnight, and his eyes were red. The Shanxi war situation and the Shaanxi war situation have reached the most critical moment, if it is a qiē shun lì, before the Chinese New Year this year, the Manchu Qing will only have an empty shelf to wander around Mongolia. Fear no more!
Liu Xian took a sip of strong tea and refreshed himself, and his eyes continued to fall on the message in his hand. On the table was a detailed map of Shanxi, with many red lines, blue lines, and circles.
The main force of the Qing army has been forced to the point of having to fight. The day the Manchus decided to leave with a million Eight Banners decided their defeat today.
Throughout history, has there ever been a 'retreat' on such a scale? The Manchu Qing Dynasty was not the Heavenly Kingdom of Tianping in the early years of Xianfeng, and it went down the river. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered along the way. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was winning battles all the way, and it had the help of the Yangtze River waterway. Eight Banners all rely on a pair of feet to run, and there are old and young. There are men and women, how can they travel thousands of miles?
If it weren't for the Manchu authorities insisting on taking away the million Eight Banners, the Qin army would really not be able to catch up with the main force of the Qing army. Cixi and other Manchu nobles ran to Ningyuan Hall, the Qin army and the Qing army's eight banners fought fiercely in the right wing of the Taifu Temple pasture to the Fengzhen Hall line, the Qing army has mobilized most of the troops in Shanxi to the north, the Qin army hit Henan and entered the troops of Shanxi, and they are already fighting Fenyang.
If the battlefield on the northern front is won, around the New Year's Festival, the whole of Shanxi is afraid that it will fall into the hands of Liu Xian. And the war situation in Shaanxi. In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, only Rong Lu was holding up the sky with one arm.
Tongguan had already been broken, and the main force of the Qin army in Henan actually entered the Guanzhong region from Luoyang, instead of going north to Shanxi. If the main force really went to Shanxi, now Taiyuan has been taken.
However, the Qing and Qin armies in the northwest today fought in Xi'an and Guyuan and Pingliang in Gansu. Cao Kezhong, Tao Maolin and others gave up Fengxiang and Qinzhou [Tianshui], and now they have retreated to Guyuan and Pingliang, and the troops have been defeated in successive battles, and their morale is very low. The artillery was lost. Several people did not have the intention of being martyred for the Manchus in their hearts, and if Dolonga was gone, they might have surrendered.
But now Dorona is not dead. A few people were afraid of being infamy, so they could only hold their breath. Hold on. As long as Dorona is alive for one day, a mountain will be pressed against them.
Foreign ministry.
When the news reached ZNHAI, Zeng Jize was chatting with Yanagihara Maemitsu, who came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the second time. I don't know anything about the Chinese Foreign Ministry. As soon as I pushed my clean approach, Yanagihara Maeko was very dissatisfied.
"Lord Zeng. The Singapore thing. The six warships of the Imperial Japanese Kingdom were almost completely wiped out, and what was the delight during this period? The human heart is self-explanatory. For such despicable acts, the Imperial Kingdom of Japan will surely return the favor! I have been authorized by the Emperor to lodge a solemn protest with your government, hoping that your government will make a declaration to sever any economic and trade contacts and ties with the rebels of the Southwest Domain. Our Imperial Kingdom of Japan has officially defeated the rebels of the Southwest Domain. Announce Saigo Takamori and others as the national thieves of the Imperial Kingdom of Japan!
Any act of communication with the rebels of the Southwest Domain will be regarded as unfriendly to our great Japan! And the behavior of our imperial kingdom to fight for chaos and peace of thieves has won the recognition and support of the governments of Britain, France, the United States and other European and American countries, and it is an act full of justice. The Imperial Powers of Japan sincerely hope that certain neighboring countries will respect the territorial and sovereign integrity of Japan, and hope that a certain country with a long history of exchanges with Japan and good neighborliness and friendship will not mislead itself and others! ”
Yanagihara Maemitsu's expression when he spoke was really impassioned. Zeng Jize seemed to see the shadow of his old father, when Tianjin changed, his father also expressed this to Luo Shuya, but in the face of warships and strength, his words were so pale and powerless.
The momentum of Yanagihara Qianguang is violent, and in Zeng Jize's opinion, it is a brilliant glass foam, very beautiful, but it shatters with a light touch.
At least Zeng Jize knew one thing very well -- the marines assembled in Tianjin and Shanghai could pull out 10,000 men to land at any port in Japan at any time.
As for the conditions for intervening in the war situation in Japan, China has a certain number of citizens in Japan, especially in the Southwest Domain, "We have the obligation to protect the diaspora of Great Qin in Japan, so we hope to be able to fortify in XX." "This needs a word, and I can make Yanagihara Maeko vomit blood angrily!
There is no diplomacy for a weak country! It's not that there are no diplomats, but there is no strength to support the wrists of diplomats! Especially when the great powers that have bared their teeth have no scruples about them, that is the tragedy of the weak country!
……
Gansu, Gongchang Province.
It is located on the west side of Qinzhou Mansion, and it was also the hardest hit area during the Huihui riots. Duolonga's greatest achievement in this life is to pacify the Ganshan and Shaanxi riots, and is regarded by the people here as the Buddha of all families in their hearts. In recent years, almost every county in Gansu has had the ancestral hall of Duolonga. I don't know how many families have not forgotten to go to Duolonga when they worship their ancestors during the New Year's Festival.
It can be said that because of the elimination of Duolonga and Huihui, the stability of Manchu rule in Gansu reached the most stable stage in the late Qianlong period in the past hundred years.
But the Chinese people are the most realistic, and can also be said to be ungrateful. The Manchu Qing Dynasty is not good now, the Qin army will fight to the side, and the government will collect grain from below, should this grain be handed over to the government when it falls to the ground?
When it comes to one's own vital interests, or when it comes to the future, no matter how great the favor is, it will not work.
Luomen Town is an important commercial port in the southeast of Longxi. It is located in the west of Qinzhou Prefecture, only 30 miles away from Ningyuan County, Gongchang Prefecture. The terrain of the town is flat, the soil is fertile, the water source is abundant, the light is sufficient, and the products are abundant, which is the birthplace of Yangshao culture.
Before the war and the disaster, it was a place of trade and exchange between Shaanxi and western Gansu, with developed handicrafts, weaving and jade carving, which were well-known throughout the country. The ancient Taoist temples such as Donghua Temple, Guan'er Xia, and Guandi Temple have a long history; Ten miles in the north of the town, there are the water curtain cave grottoes in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the grottoes are surrounded by mountains, majestic and magnificent, there are more than 100 statues of the past dynasties, more than 2,000 square meters of murals, eight relief carvings and semi-circular carved towers; The big Buddha of Lashao Temple is magnificent, solemn and solemn, and is the largest cliff relief statue in Asia; The style of the murals of the Thousand Buddha Caves is simple, the lines are smooth, and there is a feeling of the wind moving all over the wall; On the east and west sides of the confluence of the Danan River and the Wei River, there are the East Dry Ping Ruins and the West Han Ping Ruins, which are the key cultural relics protection units of Gansu Province in later generations.
But now, although the flames of war have been extinguished for many years, it is far from as lively as it once was.
Today's Luomen Town has been rebuilt from a piece of rubble, and the entire northwest is recuperating, and the prosperity of Hanzhong at the beginning has really divided a little bit of Luomen Town. Today it is still an ordinary agricultural town. War can destroy the handicrafts and people here, but it can't destroy the fields and rivers here.
There are about 1,000 people in the whole town, and half of them are surnamed Xue. Now that it's winter, the autumn grain has already been delivered, and this year's autumn grain is obviously more harvested than in previous years, and now we have to collect grain again. The big families and the old people in the town gathered in the newly built ancestral hall in the town, and a group of people met to discuss. This is a council personally led by the patriarch of the Xue family, and it can be regarded as dense when thirty or forty people get together.
Patriarch Xue Jingshu is over half a hundred years old, and this is an absolute old man in this era, especially in the northwest. Xue Jingshu is still a good person, very good and clean, whether it is for the same clan of the Xue family or for people with foreign surnames, it is very good. So there is prestige in the town. "Friends, relatives and friends, this time I would like to invite you to come over and talk about the recent grain collection by the government. Shall we pay or not! This Qing Dynasty must be over, we don't know when the braids on our heads should be cut off, but the multi-military gate has great kindness to us, and the kindness of the multi-military gate is also the kindness of the Qing court, should we report it? The old decay is not accurate, and the decision is not made. I invite you here today to discuss this matter. ”
Luomen Town is an important town in Ningyuan, and he knows the most about the government, and Xue Jingshu doesn't need to say much about the rebellion, the government gives Luomen a bucket of calm people, that is, one hundred and ten loads of grain, but in fact, one hundred and twenty loads of grain can send the tax collectors away, and they have already burned high incense.
And one hundred and twenty loads of grain is not a small amount for the recuperating town of Lomen.
Before Xue Jingshu's words fell, someone in the crowd had already shouted: "This government doesn't count the autumn grain, it also has to pay grain in winter, and the tax is set like this, if we still follow the Qing Dynasty, won't we starve to death?" ”
"The winter is so cold, there is no food, how can my family survive the winter."
"In the past two years, Ningyuan's sky will be scraped three feet higher by the government. I don't pay it! ”
The opponents cried out, and the supporters spoke, and their words were only one name - Dorona.
"Many military sects have great kindness to us, and people cannot be ungrateful."
"Yes. The great kindness of many military gates cannot be repaid. We have a lot of paddy fields in Luomen Town, and every household has more grain than in other places. ”
"When the Qin army called, I was the first to cut my braids. But all of my family survived by relying on multiple military gates. I pay the grain ......"
As the war situation infiltrated Gansu little by little, such a controversy in Luomen Town is still happening in many places in Gansu! (To be continued......)
