Chapter 30 Let Japan cede land and pay reparations
Lin Yuan asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Shen Wanqing didn't understand why she couldn't help but get angry when she heard him say this.
Shen Wanqing said: "Not much? Didn't you say you had a crush on a girl? I was amazed! ”
Lin Yuan said: "Where did I say that I had a crush on her, she is the princess of the Ryukyu Kingdom." ”
Shen Wanqing became even more jealous, and said, "Hello princess, you are going to be a concubine!" ”
Lin Yuan hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I mean, we can use their strength to take the Ryukyus, the Ryukyus are now Okinawa Prefecture in Japan, and we occupy the Ryukyus, on the one hand, we have a place for development, and on the other hand, we have taught the little devils a hard lesson." ”
Shen Wanqing was embarrassed for a while, and said, "So that's what it means?" After saying that, she began to get angry with herself, when she was in the training base, the course of emotional control was the highest score, but she didn't expect to be angry so easily today.
Shen Wanqing said: "Say, what do you need me to do?" ”
Lin Yuan said: "I plan to send their family out of Japan and send them to our people, but I also know that their family must be under the close surveillance of the Japanese, so I want you to think of a way, aren't your agents good at kidnapping and rescue or something?" ”
Shen Wanqing thought for a while and said, "I have a way to help them leave Japan, but I want to meet them first, you can arrange it for me." ”
Lin Yuan was very happy when he saw her confident appearance, and couldn't help but say, "I just know that you have the best way to do it!" ”
Shen Wanqing's pretty face couldn't help but blush, lowered her head and began to eat, and after a while, the two of them finished eating and began to be busy with their own work.
According to the arrangement of the Japanese side, the afternoon is a visit, Lin Yuan and they naturally have no time, so only Chen Fei went alone, originally Lin Yuan took Chen Fei with him, hoping that he could play the role of security and security, but after arriving in Japan, he found that for security work, the real experts are Zhang Hua, Shen Wanqing and them, Chen Fei is simply ignorant, reporter Tang Fan can also go out to collect wind and record precious historical images, so Chen Fei has completely become an idler.
Chen Fei fortunately knows Japanese, and it won't be too boring to take a turn in the horse pass and look at the scenery. The Japanese government is worried that some people will act aggressively, so there are police officers along the road to maintain order.
Chen Fei and the others, as entourage, followed Li Hongzhang's sedan chair on foot, Chen Fei looked curiously at the Japanese people around him, and suddenly found that a young man was not quite right.
The others were all standing in place and watching, but this person was following the sedan chair, and he only looked at Li Hongzhang's sedan chair, his hand was tucked in his sleeve, as if he was hiding something, when the sedan chair turned around the corner, he suddenly quickened his pace and squeezed through the crowd.
The instinct trained on the battlefield made Chen Fei rush towards him, but after all, it was too far away, and there were other people in the middle, so Chen Fei was still a step slower, and the person rushed to the side of Li Hongzhang's sedan chair first, his hand was pulled out of his sleeve, a pistol was already in his hand, he aimed at the sedan chair, pulled the trigger, and after a gunshot, Chen Fei crashed into the person in front of him and rushed to him, and before the second shot was fired, he was knocked to the ground by Chen Fei with a punch.
The people around also reacted, there were assassins! When the people heard the gunshots, they screamed and ran away, the police rushed up and quickly subdued the assassin, and Li Hongzhang's entourage also opened the sedan curtain to check Li Hongzhang's situation, only to see that Li Hongzhang's face was covered with blood and he was unconscious.
Li Hongzhang was then taken to the hospital, as happened in history, Li Hongzhang was hit by a bullet an inch below his left eye, but did not hurt his life, the assassin named Koyama Toyotaro, a member of the Japanese right-wing group "Shendaokan", extremely dissatisfied with the Chinese made him want to assassinate Li Hongzhang.
When Ito Hirobumi heard this, he was furious and said angrily: "The occurrence of this incident is more serious than the rout of one or two divisions on the battlefield!" "Japan was originally at a disadvantage in the Korean battlefield, the combined fleet was controlled by mysterious ships, and there was no sea dominance, and the Qing court could send a large force to attack the Japanese army in Korea anytime and anywhere! However, he saw that the Qing court did not seem to know about this situation, so he wanted to pretend to be tough and force the Qing court to reach a contract in favor of Japan, but there was such an incident that made Japan extremely passive in the negotiations.
After Lin Yuan heard about this, he was shocked and thought, "I didn't expect Li Hongzhang to be assassinated to happen now, but I can use this incident to make some articles." ”
Lin Yuan then found Li Jingfang, Li Jingfang was accompanying Li Hongzhang in the hospital, after all, he was also a person who had experienced strong winds, so his adoptive father was stabbed, and he didn't panic much.
Lin Yuan walked over and said, "Lord Li, how is Lord Zhongtang's situation?" ”
Li Jingfang was also full of respect for this mysterious Lin Yuan, and he replied: "Thank you Mr. Lin for caring about my father, my father is fine now. ”
Lin Yuan asked: "Master Li, the ancient sages have a cloud: 'Among the loyalists, the most public and selfless. 'No one in the sages has ever forgotten the country because of his own affairs, I wonder what Master Li thinks of the following negotiations? ”
Li Jingfang said: "As soon as this matter comes out, the imperial court will inevitably appoint me as the minister of negotiation, but I am afraid that I will be embarrassed and useless, even if the next negotiation is not in my heart." ”
Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Lord Li might as well leave this matter to the next and ensure that the result of the negotiation will satisfy Lafayette and the Holy Master!" ”
Li Jingfang couldn't believe that this Lin Yuan had such ability, and couldn't help frowning, Lin Yuan said something in his ear, Li Jingfang was overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't help but high-five and said: "If that's the case, it's great!" ”
Li Jing recommended Lin Yuan to the Qing court, so the Qing court specially gave Lin Yuan a minister. At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, at Lin Yuan's suggestion, the second round of negotiations started on time, and this time Lin Yuan showed an aggressive posture as soon as he came up, Lin Yuan said: "Lord Ito, the assassination of Li Zhongtang, I don't know if the murderer has been arrested!" ”
Ito Hirofumi knew that he was wrong, and said: "Lord Lin, we have arrested the murderer, please rest assured, we will definitely punish the murderer severely!" ”
Lin Yuan said with a smile: "I also believe that your country will handle it impartially, we can continue yesterday's negotiations, according to the meaning of our holy lord, since you and I have ceased war in Korea, then there is no need to entangle with the details of the armistice agreement, my Qing Dynasty has always ruled the world with filial piety, the saint is a great filial son, November 7 is the 60th birthday of our queen mother, and the saint decided to sign a peace treaty as soon as possible." ”
Ito Hirobumi didn't expect Lin Yuan to change so quickly, and today he directly threw out the matter of the peace agreement, which was really a little unprepared, and before Ito Hirobumi spoke, Lin Yuan immediately took out a document, handed it to Ito Hirobumi, and said: "This is the contract we are going to write, I hope Mr. Ito will see it." ”
Ito Hirobumi opened the peace agreement and looked at it, and his face suddenly changed greatly! Because the contents of the peace treaty are so shameful!
Paragraph 1: Japan recognized China as the suzerainty of Korea, and after Japan occupied Korea, the gifts that Korea lacked to pay tribute to China were to be repaid.
Paragraph 2: Japan shall administer the following places, and shall cede to China forever all fortresses, weapons, factories, and all public goods thereafter.
The following places are: Ryukyu Islands. That is, all islands from 121 degrees east longitude to 129 degrees east longitude, and from 23 degrees north latitude to 28 degrees north latitude.
This article is written in Lin Yuan's first place: Japan ceded the Ryukyu Islands to China, and later Lin Yuan found the original text of the Treaty of Shimonoseki and copied the original words above, of course, the land that was ceded became Japan.
The third paragraph: Japan will hand over 20,000 taels of Kuping silver to China as compensation for military expenses, and the following is the specific compensation schedule.
Paragraph 4: In trade, if Japan grants a certain preferential treatment to a third country, China shall be deemed to have it automatically (i.e., Japan will grant China the most-favored-nation treatment).
Paragraph 5: If a Chinese violates the law in Japan, the Japanese government has no right to summon, arrest or interrogate, and must be handled by the Chinese Embassy in Japan (that is, Chinese enjoy extraterritoriality).
After reading the contract, Ito Hirobumi couldn't care about Sven anymore, slammed the document on the table, and said angrily: "Don't you remember your failure in Pyongyang? ”
