A week after the Gongchangling riots, the situation has calmed down, and although most of the mining sites have not reopened, most of the miners have returned to the mines one after another, sorting out the garbage in the factory area and the debris after the riots. It's just that most people today seem a little absent-minded, and their minds don't seem to be on work. The reason is simple, because this afternoon there will be a trial of several key criminals who instigated the riots in Gong Cheung Ling, and the radio station will broadcast the whole whole thing, even in the five provinces of Southeast Asia. Mozambique may be a little later in the evening, and it's too far away for a live broadcast.

The trial will be held in the Peace Square in front of the Four Seasons Palace, which is already crowded with people. According to preliminary calculations, at least 50,000 people gathered on it, which is obviously a large scale that the organizers expected.

In charge of today's trial is one of the seven big* judges in Northeast China, Cheng Bingkun, who is known to the people as Cheng Qingtian. Six other justices were also present as observers, as were Minister of Justice Wang Minyun and several other ministers. However, in this trial, Prime Minister Yang Qiuxing only showed his face, and then returned to the Four Seasons Palace to work. He also did this to avoid suspicion, lest someone say that he interfered with the administration of justice.

Wang Yi did not show up today, first, because it was unnecessary, and secondly, he believed in the ability of these people in the government. Of course, the main reason is that he has other priorities, and at this time he is on the dock of Yingkou Port, where more than 3,000 Mozambican children will arrive by boat today, including slightly more boys than girls, all of whom are less than 10 years old, all orphans adopted by Wang Yi. They will all study and live in the Northeast in the future. They were joined by a number of outstanding students selected from Mozambique. There were also representatives of Mozambican tribes, as well as representatives of Portuguese real estate owners who had invested in the city. They are here to attend the Northeast People's Congress*.

Compared with the dirty and filthy riot in Gong Changling, Wang Yi obviously valued these children more. Mozambican children who arrive in the Northeast will attend the primary school affiliated to Dashang, which is more tiring than the children in the Northeast, learning not only Chinese and English, but also their own language. After being able to communicate with the locals, most of them are sent to a pre-selected host family to live with a local family in the Northeast. Wang Yi's goal is simple: to train these Mozambican orphans into so-called chocolate egg yolk pies, with black skin and yellow corn.

In addition to these orphans in Mozambique, Wang Yi actually adopted orphans from all over the Northeast Autonomous Region, including locals, North Korea and five provinces in Southeast Asia. borrowed from Shen Yazhi's Red Heart Club network, this model is similar to when the Dashang Affiliated Primary School was established, the difference is that there is no need to sign a deed of sale. In Wang Yi's view, these children are seeds, and they are also the bridge connecting all parts of the Northeast. Receiving the cultural education and edification of the Northeast, they will make North Korea, the five provinces of Southeast Asia, and Mozambique have an inseparable connection with the Northeast itself.

Unlike the other powers, Wang Yi did not regard these places as colonies, but as equal territories, and the inhabitants of them as citizens. In recent years, the local residents of Northeast China have gradually become accustomed to the comings and goings of white, white, black and black foreign residents, and they do not have much opinion on this. There was a shortage of labor in the Northeast, and even though there were continuous immigrants from the Qing provinces, the population of the Northeast was still too sparse compared to the expanding territory, with only about 35 million people on the mainland plus overseas.

After a brief welcome ceremony, the trial radio on the dock sounded somewhat inconsistent. The new residents from Mozambique apparently did not know what was happening, but the head of the government department did not hide it, and 1510 told what had happened before. Although it sounded a little abrupt, looking at the expressions of the government officials who didn't care, they didn't take it too seriously.

At this time, the children had been picked up by the big merchant group and the Red Heart Society, and the remaining tribal leaders and large Portuguese landlords were shocked by the prosperity and beauty of Yingkou. Fortunately, the official was also very understanding, and specially arranged for them to stay at the Wanguo Hotel in She Fatzi, and then a special person took them to visit and shop in Yingkou City, but the money had to be paid by themselves. This is only the first day of the trip, and in the following period, they will learn Chinese and English at the language school, and then they will visit the three military bases of the insurance team, meet with local political and business people in Northeast China, and so on. Finally, it is to learn to participate in and operate the daily work of the people's congress deputies, and accumulate experience for the establishment and operation of the local people's congress in Mozambique. It is estimated that it will take at least a year to complete the whole process.

Although Wang Yi didn't care, the shady scene of the Gongchangling riots was clearly displayed in front of everyone in the Northeast in the continuous trials in the next few days. The anger can be imagined, and even the Manchus in the northeast, who are of the same clan as the Qing court, are equally resentful. The spearhead of the people began to be pointed at the Qing court and Japan, and students and workers began to demonstrate, but the government of the Northeast Autonomous Region did not intervene too much other than normal guidance.

The day after the trial, the Qing court issued a public statement apologizing to the government and people of the Northeast Autonomous Region for the Gongchangling riots. Of course, the main reason for this is not how much the Qing court cares about the opinions of the people in the Northeast, but the insurance teams of the two divisions in the Northeast that started from Shanhaiguan to the south.

The soldiers sent to the capital, and for a time the public opinion in the capital was in an uproar, and the chickens flew and the dogs jumped. As one of the three felons who planned the riot, Wang Yuanshan was behind the devil six - Prince Gong Yi 60. Cixi was afraid that the insurance team would continue to move south, so on the one hand, she ordered the Beiyang Army to step up the defense, and on the other hand, she ordered Prince Gong to go to the northeast to apologize. And with him was the minister of Beiyang, Li Hongzhang, and his nephew was another felon, Liu Fen, a shameful spy who was bought by Japan.

In contrast to the Qing court's attitude of actively admitting mistakes, the Japanese side was surprisingly tough, and Prime Minister Daisei Ito Hirobumi sternly denied Fukushima Yasumasa's espionage, believing that he was only a businessman engaged in commercial activities. Even if he had done to gather intelligence, it was done by this person on his own initiative and had nothing to do with the Japanese government.

In fact, Wang Yi didn't care, but just ordered the South China Sea Fleet in Okinawa to cross the Osumi Strait, the Home Sea Fleet stationed in Lushun to cross the Tsushima Strait, and the North Sea Fleet in Vladivostok to cross the Tsugaru Strait (that is, the waterway between Hokkaido and the Japanese mainland), and then the three fleets began to assemble in the east and west of Japan. At the same time, Wang Yi's order was also received by Air Force Commander Zhao Ziguang, and the airship unit began to take off from North Korea and circle around the Japanese mainland.

Although British Minister Sir Walson and US Minister Tin Bei, as well as a group of ministers from other European countries, came forward to maintain peace and stability in East Asia, Prime Minister Yang Qiuxing and Foreign Minister Zhao Liewen were unmoved.

After the Tohoku Autonomous Regional Government issued an army mobilization order, the Japanese government panicked and finally reluctantly chose to give in, and Emperor Meiji and Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi sent Foreign Minister Inoue Shin and Minister to the Qing Dynasty Saburo Shiota to apologize in person.

In front of Prince Gong Yi 60, Beiyang Minister Li Hongzhang, and Japanese Foreign Minister Inoue Xin, the Northeast executed Wang Yuanshan, Fukushima Yasumasa and Liu Fen. The faces of these people are not very good, and the attitude of the people in the Northeast towards them is also extremely unfriendly, thanks to the necessary security measures provided by the Northeast side, otherwise none of these people would want to leave the Northeast alive.

Of course, just shooting three heinous murderers is not enough to calm the anger in the hearts of the people in Northeast China. Under the oppression of the Northeast...... On the surface, it is said that after the public mediation of ministers from many countries, the Qing court and Japan agreed to pay 20 million taels of silver to the victims of the Northeast riots. Under the oppression of the Northeast Autonomous Region, the Qing court signed another non-public agreement, saying that it was to deepen the friendship between the two sides, but in fact, this was the Qing court's life money! Specifically, it was agreed that the Northeast would increase its investment in the Qing court, and that the treatment would be the same as that of foreign countries, that is, only a certain amount of tariffs would be charged, but the provinces would not be allowed to collect centi.

What is called expanding investment in the Qing Dynasty, to put it bluntly, is Wang Yi's property in the enclosure and mining circle.

It is precisely because of this agreement that Prince Gong Yi 60 and Li Hongzhang can be regarded as picking up a small life, otherwise the Northeast government would pursue their criminal responsibility.

The whole matter dragged on for nearly three months before it was completely completed, and the envoys in China understood that East Asia was no longer the world of the Qing court, but the world of the northeast. Whether it was the army and air force that had dominated the northeast, or the increasingly powerful navy, they had already left the nearby Qing court and Japan in the dust. The British Fleet in Hong Kong, which was originally known as the No. 1 Navy in East Asia, can only be relegated to the second position. If they wanted to start an opium war like they did twenty years ago, if they didn't have the nod and consent of the northeast, they would only end up with the annihilation of their entire army.

Of course, Britain's total naval strength is still far above the northeast, and its number of ships and total tonnage still rank first in the world, with the tonnage of armored ships at about 314,000 tons, and the tonnage of cruisers and gunboats at about 138,000 tons, and the total tonnage has reached 450,000 tons. During the same period, the French Navy, the second largest navy in the world, had 163,000 tons of armored ships, 157,000 tons of cruisers and gunboats, and 320,000 tons of total tonnage. The number and tonnage of the new armored ships are only half that of the British, so you can see how strong the British are now.

And now there are four fleets in the Northeast: the Home Fleet, the North Ocean Fleet, the South Ocean Fleet, and the African Fleet. The strongest of these is the Home Fleet, followed by the South Sea Fleet, then the African Fleet, and the weakest is the North Ocean Fleet, whose main areas of responsibility are Ezo, the Sea of Japan, Sakhalin, the Sea of Okhotsk, the Kamchatka Peninsula, and the Bering Strait. However, there were no foreign enemies here, except for Japan, so it was generally the warships that were replaced by other fleets that were assigned to the North Sea Fleet. However, the situation changed in the last two years with the establishment of shipyards in Vladivostok and Magadan.
