The depression of the Japanese has just begun, when the financial giants in London refused to subscribe to Japanese government bonds, and the British government was hesitating on the issue of borrowing, an economic war that had been prepared for a long time was officially launched in the Far East. Just the low price of capital preservation instantly forced a large market share of Japanese gauze. Japanese gauze, which was already on the market, was unsalable, while large quantities of products destined for Europe were piled up at the port and left unattended. However, compared with the Qing market, the situation in the European market is quite good, with the help of local advantages, the price of Chinese merchants' products is relatively low, and some businessmen in the government's "goodwill" reminder, refused to sell Japanese goods, and the minister of Nanyang and Beiyang, and the governor of Liangguang Zhang Zhidong and others jointly signed a letter, denouncing the dumping of Japanese gauze in the Qing Dynasty and Korea has seriously threatened the local finance and taxation, and a large amount of silver has flowed out. Before the central government issued an order, Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, Liu Kunyi, Li Hanzhang and others had begun to use "administrative means" to suppress the market space of Japanese gauze in their own jurisdictions. That's better to say. Under the pretext of inferior Japanese gauze, the import of Japanese gauze was directly boycotted. Immediately, the Japanese government protested, saying that the Qing State had affected the normal Nissin trade. But a discerning person can see at a glance that protest is useless? Li Hongzhang was the minister of Beiyang, Liu Kunyi was the minister of Nanyang, and almost all the ports of the Qing Dynasty were under the control of the Hunan and Huai systems. These two big shots can't get along with you, what can you do in Japan? More importantly, Li Hongzhang is also the actual operator of the Prime Minister's Yamen. In Li Hongzhang's eyes, the Qing and Japanese countries were close to going to war. What the hell are you protesting for? Li Hongzhang didn't even look at it and threw it aside. Defy? How can you come? The current Japanese Navy is far from being an opponent of the North Seas!!

If it is said that the Chinese businessmen and the North and South Seas are fighting head-on to squeeze the Japanese market on a global scale and block the Japanese textile industry, then the ban on the export of cotton and grain from the Qing Dynasty and Korea to Japan is a roundabout outflanking and drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle!! The operation is actually very simple, the textile factories of overseas Chinese businessmen who set up factories in China are in urgent need of gauze, so there is no need for businessmen to send their hard-earned cotton to Japan. As for those traitors who were remotely controlled by the Japanese and specially provided raw materials for Japan. Liu Kunyi and Li Hongzhang will definitely not be relentless, and after replacing them with newcomers in key departments of customs, they will conduct strict searches on all ships bound for Japan. As soon as cotton, grain and other "restricted export" products were discovered, the poor shipowner had to sit in the yamen. As for the results? At worst, find an excuse to go to prison, or "die of illness"!! Then the family property was confiscated. Don't say it, I don't know if I don't check it, and I'll be shocked when I check it. Li Hongzhang admires the operation of the Japanese, you can use civilian ships to transport raw materials, you can actually get the pass issued by Beiyang for the Chinese in Nanyang! In this way, invisibly, Li Hongzhang's determination to clean up the interior has been strengthened a little. This may not have been thought of by Xu Jie, who launched the economic war! As for Liu Kunyi, he didn't think about it so much, but on the one hand, he could reorganize the Japanese who he snapped up, and on the other hand, he could take the opportunity to make himself and his subordinates make a fortune or something, such a good thing, Liu Kunyi really couldn't refuse, and the more he worked, the more energetic he became, so that the Hunan officials under his subordinates. Think of this as a way to get promoted and make a fortune.

What the? Someone asked if there was a royal law? Is this one? These businessmen who work for the Japanese can't be clean in the first place, can't they find any problems? Even if you can't find it for a while, even if you kill a few of the big members of the domain town who are covering the sky in the local area, it's nothing, after all, even the center is quite jealous of the North and South Oceans!! If the cotton problem only restricts Japan's industrial raw materials, then the food problem is a big problem, Japan's grain is difficult to self-sufficient, after the Meiji Restoration, Japan imported grain from North Korea to subsidize domestic consumption, and with the help of the pro-Japanese faction in North Korea, this line has always been the guarantee of food and clothing for the Japanese, but now I am afraid that it will not work, why? Under the "operation" of Yuan Shikai, who was stationed in the Qing Dynasty. The Japanese found it more and more difficult to buy grain from Korea, and even the last bag of grain could not be brought in!! In order to solve the domestic food problem, the Japanese government, which was embarrassed and angry, almost took action against North Korea, but this action was only talk, why? Even if the Japanese Army is stronger than Beiyang now, you will always have to cross the sea, right? As long as the Beiyang Fleet is here, you don't want to transport troops safely and steadily!! At a time when the Japanese cabinet was discussing whether to give the DPRK some "color" to see, the Beiyang Fleet suddenly appeared en masse near the Korean Strait, which was undoubtedly a blow to the Japanese who were clamoring for war! In the face of the toughness of the Beiyang side, the Japanese could only swallow their anger. The majestic Dingzhen No. 2 ship on the sea is the biggest footnote in Beiyang!! …,

The Japanese really did not expect that the Qing government, which had always been "friendly" to the outside world, would do such a thing. (Well, it wasn't done by the center, it was done by the "feudal town" below!) When the protests were ineffective, and they wanted to solve the problem by military means but did not have the power, the inferiority complex of the Japanese finally prevailed. No way, admit it. But it doesn't matter. Domestic industry and people's livelihoods have become a big problem! A large number of textiles are squeezed abroad, not to mention that they can't make money, and even the berthing costs in the port and the storage fees that have been put into storage are a big price. In desperation, some small factories decisively decided to dump the goods or pull them back to China directly. The food problem is even more deadly, the factory has no raw materials and no orders, at most it is a shutdown, but once there is no food, can you skip eating? In the face of waves of panic buying frenzy in the context of food shortages and the protests of small people. The Japanese government knows that there is no way to do it with repression alone. What can be done? Buy food! As a result, the Japanese government hurriedly used various channels to purchase grain from all over Southeast Asia with its hard-won hard currency to satisfy its urgent needs. And the French and British, as well as the Dutch and Spaniards in Southeast Asia, don't mind knocking on a bamboo bar at this time!!

"Miss Galene, thank you very much for what you have done to Beiyang and Daqing, please rest assured that every qiē you have done will bring you a lot of profits." Xu Jie said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"We'll talk about the remuneration later, but let's talk about how you plan to end it up? Could it be that the economic war between the Qing and Japan will continue? This time, Japanese government bonds will certainly not be able to sell much, and the sharp decline in Japan's economic situation has caused Japan's credibility in the British financial community to plummet. Gaylin asked.

"It's not thorough enough. As long as Prime Minister Salisbury remains in office, Japan will still be able to receive a loan from the United Kingdom. Some British dignitaries still have the idea of using Japan to contain Russia. The short-term goal is to make it impossible for Japan to eat 2 Brute. (It's impossible for you to let Nanyang eat 2 ships at once.) And the long-term goal is to turn Britain against Japan!! Xu Jie thought for a while and said.

"Let two countries be at odds? It's just too difficult. Garin shook her head and said.

"No, it's easy. Maybe the Japanese themselves have already started doing this!! Xu Jie smiled slightly. Although Ito Hirobumi will not join forces with the Russians, it does not mean that no one in Japan has done so!!

I woke up this morning and suddenly found that there was one missing from the collection--! The author is very sad and has decided to turn his grief and anger into strength today and add another chapter!! Let's support it, even if it's temporary, don't collect it~~
