Chapter 242: Reasoning
After receiving the news from the Japanese government, Komura Shoutaro was immediately furious. If Ren Chao was in front of him at this time, Komura Shoutaro would definitely step forward to correct this bastard's collar and question Ren Chao properly. Are you so shameless? Is there anyone as shameless as you? Obviously, it was you who treacherously attacked the locust army we were retreating, and you actually came to Lao Tzu Xingshi to ask for guilt. I also want Lao Tzu to give you a satisfactory explanation, I think you should give Lao Tzu a satisfactory explanation!
But such a scene can only appear in Komura Shoutaro's obscenity, first of all, Ren Chao is not in front of him, and Ren Chao is really in front of him, it is not easy to say whether he has the courage at that time.
Now Komura Shoutaro can only vent his anger at some of the furnishings in his house, what teacups, vases and other things, at this time have all turned into a pile of beautiful fragments under his feet.
It took half an hour for Komura to calm down and start thinking about what he should do next. Obviously, this Ren Chao is deliberately finding fault? The question is, how can we cure this Ren Chao and let him withdraw his troops obediently? The government has already sought the support of the European and American powers through diplomatic channels, and I cannot be idle, first of all, I must lodge a protest with the prime minister of the Qing State, Yamen, a strong protest! In Komura Shoutaro's heart, now only the court of the Qing Kingdom can manage Ren Chao, a crazy guy, yes is crazy, he is simply a madman. Komura Shoutaro scolded secretly in his heart. After thinking about this, Komura Shoutaro did not rush to find Ren Chao, but went directly to send a telegram to the prime minister of the Qing government, Yamen, to protest.
After the incident, Ren Chao was not idle, and went directly to the imperial court, saying that the Japanese army burned, killed and plundered on the way to retreat, which aroused great public anger in Korea, and the local residents could not bear the oppression of the Japanese army. So they rose up and resisted. After a fierce battle, they finally wiped out all these hateful pirates.
Everyone who saw this recital, whether it was the minister of the court or the Guangxu Emperor, their first reaction at that time was to cry and laugh. If Ren Chao is in front of them, they will definitely remind Ren Chao in person, when you go down to make up lies, can you have a little technical content! That's it, I'm afraid you can't even fool a three-year-old child! More than 10,000 little devils! Is it so that the people of North Korea can be wiped out lightly? If the little devil is so easy to destroy, the Qing Dynasty will not let people hit the door.
After some discussion between Emperor Guangxu and the ministers, they reached a consensus on two points. First, it is absolutely impossible to admit that this matter was done by the Tiger Army, since Ren Chao said that it was done by the local people of North Korea and the Dongxue Army, it was they who did it. The second consensus is that this matter is handled by Ren Chao with full authority, and Ren Chao should deal with the trouble himself! But there is not a single kind person to wipe your butt for you.
Of course, Emperor Guangxu didn't do nothing, at least he secretly sent a telegram to Ren Chao, reprimanded Ren Chao, and warned Ren Chao not to make things too big, just stop in moderation.
Later, when the imperial court saw Japan, it only protested. The attitude of the European and American powers is also very **, as if there is no intention of interfering at all, so that the imperial court is also relieved. So let Ren Chao go, what do you like! Anyway, the Japanese army retreated from Korea, although they all withdrew to the prefecture! That's a retreat, too! North Korea is fine. The Ryukyus were also recovered. There is no need to fight, what is the court afraid of?
Protests are ineffective! The Great Powers intervened to no avail. In the end, Komura Shoutaro could only come to Ren Chao hard, although he hated Ren Chao to the core, Komura Shoutaro still didn't dare to be presumptuous with Ren Chao. First of all, his own life is in the hands of others! Although he is the minister to China, Ren Chao is a madman who can do anything. There is no reason to talk to him, in case he annoys him and kills himself in a fit of rage, in terms of the current form, it is estimated that he will be killed in vain. In addition, the Osumi Islands are still pinched in Ren Chao's hands, so I have to send this plague god away first! So Komura Shoutaro didn't dare to offend Ren Chao even more, but even so, at this time, and this matter was obviously their fault, and Japan suffered a loss. So this time, Komura Shoutaro didn't look like the previous two times, he looked like he was submissive, but put on a posture of asking the teacher to find Ren Chao, although the confidence was a little lacking! But the appearance is still good.
"Lord Ren, regarding the matter of North Korea, our government has investigated all of it. Regarding what Hou Ye said about arson and robbery, it is purely a rumor. It was the Dongxue Army that ambushed the retreating troops of our Locust Army for no reason, causing great losses to the Locust Army, and the Imperial Government lodged a strong protest against this to your country, and if your government could not handle this matter strictly, our Imperial Government would definitely not give up. Komura Shoutaro said menacingly as soon as he saw Ren Chao. In fact, Komura Kitaro is already very polite, the Japanese government does not know that it was the Tiger Army that ambushed the Japanese army, but at that time, the Tiger Ben Army was wearing Korean costumes and dressed as Dongxue Army, and the Japanese side did not have enough evidence to directly accuse the Tiger Army, not to mention that accusing the Tiger Army is equivalent to pointing at Ren Chao, and now the relationship has been stiff enough, at this time, Komura Shoutaro did not dare to provoke Ren Chao again.
"Won't give up? Is it possible to go to war again? That's good! What is Lao Tzu waiting for? Ren Chao's eyes widened and he said loudly.
"This~!" It is absolutely impossible to start a war against Japan again, Komura Shoutaro's tone immediately softened a little, "Master Hou, this matter is indeed the fault of your army, the locust army really did not plunder the people's property, let alone kill the local people, Lord Hou, you can't just listen to rumors!" ”
"According to you, it's the official's, isn't it?" Ren Chao looked at Komura Shoutaro coldly and asked.
"Well~! The contemptible people never meant to accuse the Hou Ye. Komura Shoutaro hurriedly explained, "Maybe the Hou Ye didn't check it for a while and listened to the rumors." In this matter, neither our imperial locust army nor the imperial government has made any mistakes, on the contrary, we are the victims of this incident, and we hope that Hou Ye and your government can give an explanation to our government, and at least compensate our government for its losses. ”
"What do you mean by hearing this, pointing out that the official is unreasonable and unreasonable? That's what it means, right? Ren Chao asked Komura Shoutaro with a sneer.
"This~! Hou Ye is serious! Komura Shoutaro said politely, but he was secretly scolding in his heart, you also know that you are unreasonable and unreasonable!
"Good! Aren't you going to be reasonable? I'm going to reason with you today. Ren Chao said with a stern face.
"Listen to the contemptible people!" Komura Shoutaro said with a bowed and teachable look, and couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, I want to see what you can say, anyway, we are not wrong in this matter, and you are at fault. (To be continued......)
