Chapter 315: How Will the People of the World Think of the Imperial Court?

"Your Excellency Pashali, how can this be said to be a robbery, a robber, an act of dishonor? The Qing and Japanese countries were in a state of war, and our army captured Yokosuka, and this Yokosuka shipyard was considered a trophy of our army. Just like what your British and French troops did in the Old Summer Palace when they entered Beijing. Isn't it? ”

The person who faced Paxiali's protest was not Peng Chuhan, nor Shi Qingyan, the executor of the robbery mission, but Liu Xian, the commander of the current Qin-Chu conquest-Japan coalition army. Liu Xian, he is now in Japan!

He arrived in Japan with more than 10,000 people gathered before and after the Qin army. The Chu army was not half of the Chu army except for the shipmaster and sailor who were floating on the sea. Even the Xiao Delong tribe on Ryukyu Island remained in Ryukyu.

From Fuzhou to Taiwan, and then to the Ryukyus, the speed of the fast ship all the way was faster than that of a dozen or twenty steamers in a convoy, and the speed of the three warships escorted by the shipmaster and sailor, whose speed was generally around 10 knots, it was almost home.

Before the fleet carried two groups of more than 10,000 Qin soldiers across the ocean to the port of Naha, Liu Xian had already made Zuo Zongtang's decision clear. This old thing puts its own pigeons!

And the person who was a lobbyist for Zuo Zongtang was called Yuan Baoheng, Yuan Shikai's uncle, and Liu Xian in his previous life was still a fellow countryman.

The joint mediation of Britain, France, the United States, Russia and other countries, coupled with the absolute kneel city of Beijing, this pressure is indeed a bit more than the bottom line for an official like Zuo Zongtang, who does not have an unforgettable hatred for Japan in his heart. Zuo Zongtang released Liu Xian's pigeons, and Liu Xian could understand.

He was still in the Ryukyus at the time, and he had two choices in his hands. One is to ignore it, and when the army arrives, he continues to lead the army to Tokyo Bay; Second, order the army at sea to return the same way. That's the end of the matter of the Japanese raider.

Liu Xian didn't think about it for long, not even a quarter of an hour, he decided to continue the attack on Japan.

I will talk about the future later, and my position is there. No matter how annoyed Beijing is, what can it do? Ordered to wipe your own top? Or kill yourself? Do they have the courage to force the anti-Qin army?

Liu Xian traveled to this era, and the urgency of Xinjiang to fight the Russians was far from being comparable to the strength of repairing the little devils. This is the first thing he wants to do with all his might in the real sense, and Vietnam is far from being able to compare with it.

Strangled Japan, and strangled the expectations of this small country when it flourished. That kind of exhilaration, after recovering more than one million square kilometers of land in the northwest and northeast in a dream. Then swallow the whole of Siberia in one gulp, the whole of Central Asia when the pleasure is compared.

Liu Xian can endure it for the time being, wait until he is strong, wait until he takes the whole of China, and then turn around and repair the little devil. But he just wouldn't give up!

Liu Xian is conceited, and he is beating Little Japan. You don't lose much yourself. As long as it can win, Beijing City can't say anything about itself. As for the 'opinions' of Britain, France, the United States, Russia and other countries, does he care?

France and Russia have long been offended. In anticipation of conquering the world, Liu Xian was prepared to fight the French in the south and the Russians in the north. It can be said that in his eyes, when he raised his own troops, the intervention of France and Russia was directly counted as a hostile force.

And the United States. Now there is no need to think about its interfering power. All-out efforts to develop its own industry and all-out accumulation are what the United States should do in recent years.

The last remaining Britain. Liu Xian is not sure whether John Bull will go into battle shirtless. However, what he can be sure of is that the British will definitely make a move. Supporting at least one Japan and making Japan a pawn to counterbalance China is an indispensable means.

Therefore, when Liu Xian faced Yuan Baoheng, he only sank for less than a quarter of an hour. It gave him a definite answer.

"Liu Hou Zhenwei's husband too!" Leaving a sigh that I don't know whether it is true or not, Yuan Baoheng completed his task. Two days apart. When the fleet arrived at the port of Naha, Liu Xian ordered the fleet to rest for a day. Then the army set out to kill Tokyo Bay.

The meeting with Pa Xia Li was the second day after Liu Xian arrived in Tokyo Bay. Robbery, robbers? Dishonorable acts? Pa Xiali's pointing made Liu Xian sneer. It's really the old eagle who says that the crow is black, and he can't see what color he is!

Pashali's angry expression immediately stiffened, and then his face turned red, and the whole person became even more annoyed. This is real anger, but not the anger of the previous performance. Liu Xian slapped him in the face directly, and he was a party to the British side in the two Opium Wars, especially when he was a crow.

"Your Excellency Marquis, this is Japan, and there is no need to implicate China. As a diplomat of the British Empire, I would like to protest against the ugly atrocities of the Chinese army on Japanese soil in the name of a diplomat. I hope that you will respect yourself, cherish the image of the country you represent, and return the machinery of the Japanese to them. ”

"Then I can sue you right now. As a soldier, I only represent the rights and interests of soldiers. No one can take the spoils that belong to me from my hands. ”

Liu Xian spread out his palms in front of Pa Xiali's eyes, and then grasped it fiercely. "You can go and sue the Japanese, immediately admit defeat, and send an envoy to Beijing to apologize. Compensate our army for the navy and army expenses of five million taels of silver. Otherwise, I'll go into Tokyo City and get it myself. ”

Pointing his finger in the direction of Tokyo, Liu Xian's expression was so arrogant at this moment. Seriously, if there is a real chance to break into Tokyo, Liu Xian really wants to fight once. If Emperor Meiji does not surrender, he can only run away, of course, it would be better if he broke it himself, but this possibility is too small. In this way, it is good to put a layer of black ash on the face of Emperor Meiji, and see if the rights and majesty of the Tokyo Restoration government can still be maintained. The impact on Japan's future will be many times greater than that of a Yokosuka shipyard.

How the Tokyo Restoration government was boiling in the afterglow of this day, and how the Japanese around Tokyo were boiling, Liu Xian only watched coldly. The army had landed in Yokohama and routed the forces of a brigade of the resisting Tokyo Jintai. After the correction was completed, the army went straight to Kawasaki, not by water, but by land, and entered Tokyo.

At the same time in the city of Beijing, Xinuan Pavilion knelt on the ground of the first and second grades, almost the most prominent and powerful figures in Beijing's high-ranking officials were concentrated here, these officials plus Li Hongzhang in Tianjin, as well as Zuo Zongtang, Liu Changyou and others, can be said to be the top carnivores in the entire Qing Dynasty officialdom. But these bigwigs, who have been in the officialdom all their lives and have experienced all kinds of winds and waves, did not dare to stand up and answer under the anger of the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager Cixi would not think about what enmity Liu Xian had with Japan, but would only feel that Liu Xian was arrogant, and after winning the victory against the French, he would not show off the foreign powers, let alone think about the imperial court.

Just as Liu Xian and Zuo Zongtang thought, in the face of the joint mediation of Britain, France, the United States, Russia and other powers, Beijing undoubtedly knelt down. In this way, Liu Xian's 'obstinate obsession' made Beijing even more angry.

Liu Xian played under the guise of blaming Japan, and in addition to the Taiwan matter, he also pulled up the Ryukyu issue in the middle, showing that he was so magnificent. But where does this put the face of Beijing City?

Oh, the local important ministers led the troops to ask the guilty Japanese country, raised the heavenly prestige of my Qing Dynasty, and helped my vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, and the matter could not be more famous. Turning a blind eye to the mediation of Britain, France, the United States, Russia, and other countries and ignoring them will only allow the people to spread Liu Xian's mighty and unyielding arrogance, and it can only be a good set off Beijing's weak legs.

Cixi was so angry that in addition to the atmosphere, she also felt heartwarming: "The imperial court has always been kind to Liu Xian, and he was awarded the title of marquis, posthumously awarded three generations, and gave him the Nanyang soldiers to fight alone." Is this how he repaid the favor of the court? How will the people of the world view the imperial court? Where is the majesty of the imperial court? His heart can be punished! His heart can be punished! ”

The Empress Dowager Ci'an on the side shut up and didn't speak. After more than ten years of partnering, Ci'an knows very well the ability of her sister, this is really how it should be in politics.

The pro-government Emperor Tongzhi also kept silent. Let the important ministers in the room see clearly in their hearts, who is the protagonist in this room, who is the master in this palace, and who is the master of this big empire......

……

Kawasaki, Tama River.

As a small town with no name, Kawasaki is not the city of Kawasaki that will be industrially developed in the future, nor is it the smallest city in Japan that has been designated by government decree. It's a small town now.

The 1st Brigade of the Tokyo Jintai Special Brigade is on the west bank of the Tama River, and it is strictly guarded. The titular commander of Zhentai, Prince Akihito Komatsumiya, who was only 28 years old, also appeared at the position. Of course, this commander, who had only studied in Europe for more than a year, could not really be in charge of commanding more than 5,000 Japanese officers and soldiers here in Kawasaki.

Sitting here is the Japanese marshal in the history of the original time and space, the famous general Oyama Yan.

Of course, the current Oyama Iwa does not have the prestige and prestige of the Minister of War during the First Sino-Japanese War 20 years later, but as one of the first Japanese army officers to study in Europe, his four-year study career in Europe, and his personal experience in the Franco-Prussian War, he certainly did not let him become the best candidate for the commander of the 1st Brigade of the Einsatzgruppen in the eyes of the Tokyo government.

"Your Excellency, Commander, people are inert and habitual. When there is a road in front of us, people do not think of opening up another new path. Even if that new road will save distance. The bigger reason why I didn't let the soldiers destroy the two bridges on the Tama River was that our troops still had a front-line position on the other side of the river. ”

On the bank of the Tama River, Oyama pointed to a stone bridge that connected the two shores, and explained to Prince Akihito Komatsumiya. This is one of two bridges. A large number of Japanese soldiers are building a large number of fortifications around this bridge.

Akihito Komatsumiya was not an idiot, and immediately understood the meaning of Oyama Iwa. Think about it.

The Tama River is not an impassable river, and it is very convenient to cross it, whether it is by boat or bridge. Instead of fighting a sniper battle in an uncertain location, it is not about taking the location into your own hands.

"The only concern is that the Qing general on the opposite side is the famous Liu Xian ......" (to be continued) R580
