Chapter 106: Grudges
"If this is the case, what should Japan do if it really starts a war with us?" Ma Jianzhong is a little worried!
"Humph!" Xi Benxiong snorted coldly and said, "They dare!?" As long as they dare to make a move against our people, our 3rd Infantry Division in Andong will definitely not let a living Japanese leave. ”
"I wonder how many people are in an infantry division?" Wu Changqing didn't know the configuration of a division of Dashang.
"More than 13,000 people, the combat unit has two infantry regiments and two artillery regiments." On the military side, Kim Zhiying did not interject, and Xi Benxiong continued: "If the Japanese side forcibly sends troops to land in Korea, we can transfer the Third Cavalry Division and the Third Artillery Division to station within three days, and start to attack at sea, and send troops in both directions to Vladivostok and Yingkou to cut off Japan's foreign trade." If necessary, it will also attack its port facilities and send marines to land operations. "The 3rd Cavalry Regiment and the 3rd Artillery Regiment are the two new regiments recruited by the Insurance Corps, and no new divisions will be added in the short term. For some time to come, emphasis will be placed on building up the navy and air force.
Xi Benxiong's words were so reasonable that Wu Changqing, Ding Ruchang and Ma Jianzhong were startled, and said in their hearts, it won't be a national war! But when I think that Dashang is prepared, then I am afraid of a fart!
After Jin Zhiying and Xi Benxiong left, the three of them discussed how to decide, and after reaching a unified opinion, Wu Changqing ordered someone to send a message to Zhang Shusheng, the governor of Beiyang Zhili, and then sent a telegram to Li Shuchang, the Chinese ambassador to Japan, through Tianjin, asking him to take a tough stance on the Japanese side's demands, even at the expense of fighting each other!
When Zhang Shusheng heard this, Dashang was ready to come forward, and he naturally couldn't ask for it. The North Korean problem has been resolved, and this credit has nothing to do with Dashang, and it all falls on him Beiyang. And he, Zhang Shusheng, of course, is the first person to make the merit. Although Li Hongzhang is the pillar of Beiyang, Zhang Shusheng doesn't mind giving himself a little prestige during Lao Li's absence. What if it ...... If I really achieve something immortal, the court won't be able to force me to leave again, right?
The Japanese side felt a little sudden about the hard-line attitude of the Qing Dynasty, and was a little overwhelmed for a while.
However, Yoshida Jiro obviously didn't know the specific situation at the moment, and after rejecting the Qing Dynasty's request for negotiation, he immediately led his troops to prepare to attack the palace, but he didn't think about it, but he was one step short and was preempted by Wu Changqing.
Later, after discussing with the people around him, he felt that attacking was not the way, and his own people really provoked the Qing people, and he may not be the opponent of the other party, so he came to the door the next day to prepare for peace talks. But after such a night's work, he suddenly found that the attitude of all the generals of the Qing Kingdom had changed greatly, from the original willingness to negotiate peace, to extremely tough.
"That's too tough, isn't it?" Jiro Yoshida, who returned to the Japanese military camp, was a little dazed. "What the hell happened, how did things get to this point?"
Dayuanjun knew about the Qing-Japanese meeting, but he didn't stop, he was still constantly expanding his strength, forming parties for personal gain, expanding military strength, and at the same time provoking incidents and agitating the people.
"My lord, the Qing court general Wu Changqing invites you to visit the military camp tomorrow."
Dayuanjun frowned, thought about it, and felt that he couldn't afford to offend the Qing people, so he said, "Okay, just say that I will visit on time tomorrow." ”
The next day, Wu Changqing held a grand welcome ceremony for the courtyard king, and after that, the two entered the big tent.
Speaking of which, Wu Changqing doesn't know Korean, and Dayuanjun doesn't speak Chinese, but the two of them were able to communicate smoothly, and the way they used it was to talk in writing!
"Guotaigong, I wonder how you plan to solve the current situation in North Korea?" Wu Changqing wrote.
"Since the traitorous concubine signed a traitorous treaty with the Japanese, both the East and the West have coveted our Korean property, and have taken advantage of the unequal treaty to buy and sell our goods at low prices. As a result, the prices of goods in our country are inflated and the people suffer. ”
"That country Taigong means ......"
"Expel the Tartars, close the country, and return Korea to a clean land."
"Isn't this a violation of the treaties signed with other countries, they will not agree, and then they will take the opportunity to raise troops and destroy the lives of North Korea."
"The people of our country are ready to kill and become benevolent, and in order to protect North Korea, they will not hesitate to burn their livers and brains on the ground and jade stones!"
Wu Changqing sneered in his heart: "I really let Dashang say it right, it is indeed not easy for this Dayuan Jun to stay in North Korea, and if he continues like this, he must go to war with all the powers!" Feelings: This old boy doesn't have to go to the battlefield himself, and the dead have nothing to do with him. But when he made such a fuss, the situation collapsed, and when it really happened, it would be out of control. ”
Later, Wu Changqing wrote about bitter persuasion, and the monarch of the courtyard did not repent when he died, and he had no intention of giving up, and wrote that it was dark.
Dayuanjun glanced at the time at this time, and then wrote: "Envoy, it's not early, and the subordinates want to retire." ”
Wu Changqing smiled and said: "Lord Guotaigong, as the saying goes: if you come, you will be safe." Why are you so anxious? ”
Dayuan Jun was stunned, Wu Changqing gave his subordinates a look, and then a group of people rushed up, without waiting for Dayuan Jun to say, he was directly escorted to Nanhaikou, and then placed on the Dengyingzhou ship, all the way to Yingkou, handed over to Dashang. For this reason, the Great Shang paid Wu Changqing 100,000 Dashang silver dollars for military expenses, as well as provided 200 ordinary military horses. It is similar to hiring someone to kidnap the ticket, of course, this matter is strictly confidential, otherwise it is not good to say, and it is claimed that it is to help North Korea quell the chaos before sending Dayuanjun to Tianjin.
The next day, the specific time was: On August 29, 1882, Wu Changqing, Yuan Shikai and others led the Qing army to attack the old-style military and family settlements such as Xiangshili and Itaewon on the outskirts of Seoul, killing Jin Changsun and others, and capturing more than 170 soldiers who participated in the mutiny.
At this point, the Renwu Mutiny ended.
On August 31, 1882, under the supervision of the Qing Dynasty, Korea and Japan signed the Treaty of Jemulpo, except for the rebuilding of the Japanese embassy in Korea and compensating the Japanese people who died in Japan for the losses of the Japanese nationals, all other conditions put forward by the Japanese side were rejected by Korea. Despite the Japanese threat of confrontation, the DPRK remained unmoved. Later, after the news of the Qing Dynasty's military exercises in front of the Japanese military camp, Yoshida Jiro was forced to sign an agreement.
On September 7, 1882, King Yi Hee of Joseon sent Hong Soon-moo, the leader of the Korean Dynasty, to Chungju to welcome Concubine Min back to the palace. The Min Concubine clique regained power in North Korea. At the same time, Zhao Ningxia, with the help of the Qing court and the Great Shang, quickly took control of the military and political power in Korea.
In October of the same year, the Qing Dynasty and the DPRK signed the "Sino-Korean Merchants and People's Water and Land Trade Charter" in Tianjin, and the Qing Dynasty obtained a series of privileges such as consular jurisdiction, customs supervision, and diplomatic supervision, and established Qing concessions in the port cities of Incheon, Wonsan, and Pusan. Under the mediation of the Qing Dynasty, Korea also further opened its doors and signed treaties with Germany, France and other powers.
Because of the intransigent attitude of the Qing Dynasty, Korea did not sign this agreement with Japan and Russia, of course, this was the result of the covert operation of the Great Shang.
Knowing the news of the return of the fleet led by Jiro Yoshida, the Great Merchant Fleet, which had been waiting for the rabbit for a long time, missed the opportunity to completely annihilate the Japanese fleet because of the foggy relationship, which is a pity.
However, Yoshida Jiro did not feel good when he returned to China, and as soon as he arrived at the dock, he was strongly condemned and criticized by domestic public opinion, believing that he should not succumb to the oppression of the Qing State and sign the "Jemulpo Treaty". Later, the Improvement Party and the Liberal Party, led by Shigenobu Okuma and Itagaki Resuke, took the opportunity to attack the government, and the liberal democrats demanded political reforms.
Speaking of which, he played the role of a scapegoat.
Of course, Wang Yi didn't have the leisure to worry about Jiro Yoshida, at this time he was messing with Shen Yazhi and Tong Qianjia.
"Why do Europeans have to marry only one wife?" Shen Yatou is now a bit of a sign of feminist independence.
Wang Yi said disdainfully: "The reason is very simple, because they can only have one wife, but they can have countless lovers!" At the ball of European aristocracy, once a man and a woman are in love and look at the right eye, basically regardless of whether the two parties are married or not, the result is mostly dry firewood. ”
The two girls didn't expect this to be the case at all.
Wang Yi then teased: "Actually, the origin of monogamy in Europe is like this. One day, a certain king went to visit the territory of his vassal family, and his majesty did not remember other things, the only feeling was that there were too many children of this vassal family. Later, he shivered, and suddenly thought of a question! ”
"What's the problem?" The two girls looked at Wang Yi, how cute they wanted to be, how cute they were.
The creature laughed and said, "The king thinks he can't give birth to this minister!" ”
"What's there to worry about, he doesn't care if people give birth!" Shen Yatou pouted.
"Of course! If you think about it, if the king's family can't have children, it means that the royal family is in decline. And the vassal family Ding is prosperous, doesn't this clearly show that he wants to seek a dynasty! ”
The two girls thought about it, and it seemed to have a little meaning.
"It is precisely because of this consideration, combined with religious reasons, that monogamy is practiced in Europe." Wang Yi laughed proudly and said: "This has nothing to do with the love you think, it has nothing to do with it, don't think about it one day, you are my daughter-in-law, it should be mine, it is mine!" ”
Shen Yatou said that she couldn't do it, and she was going to scratch Wang Yi when she came up angrily. At this time, Qianjia said: "I don't think so, our country has not been monogamous and polygamous since ancient times, and there is no situation as you said." ”
"Yes, yes!" Shen Yatou began to help.
Wang Yiyi: "How else to say that Europeans are stupid." Monogamy on their side is equivalent to the practice of reproductive castration in a single family. And the imperial examination system we practice, which limits Confucianism, is ideological castration! No matter how many children you have left, you and your children must pay attention to the three outlines and five constants, the prince of heaven and earth, and the monarch and the minister like father and son. In other words, no matter how many children you have in a single family, you have to obey me, the monarch! Otherwise, you are disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust, and directly restrict you ideologically and morally, so that you don't dare to think nonsense, otherwise you will be the enemy of the morality of the whole society. ”
Shen Yatou and Qianjia fell into deep thought......
At this time, the phone rang, Wang Yi answered, and said, "Hello, I'm Wang Yi!" ”
"Hello, chairman, the German scientist delegation has arrived in Yingkou, I don't know when you will arrange to meet ......"
