Chapter 313: The people's resentment boils
When the weather was hot, a chilling news came from the Forbidden City, and the whole world was shocked. The person who leaked the "Sino-Russian Secret Treaty" was killed.
This person's name is Shen Xin, he is a very foreign person, and if he doesn't say it well, he is the two devils in the mouths of the common people. He was originally a "newspaper visitor" in Tianjin, and he was also a correspondent for a Japanese newspaper. This person is long-sleeved and good at dancing, and he is very familiar with the soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance and the representatives of the mansions of various countries, and is often invited to attend various parties and banquets, and he is completely a shameless dog slave. At that time, the dignitaries in the capital came to Tianjin to do business, and sometimes they had to tie up with this Shen Xin in order to seek convenience.
But this person is not so simple, it is better to say that he is drinking and talking, but it is better to say that he is a false snake. This Mr. Shen from Changsha is a staunch revolutionary in his bones! He has always advocated changing the law, and before that, he also formed a "righteous qi meeting" with Tang Caichang and others. This "Righteous Qi Society", which was later renamed the "Self-Reliance Association", made a lot of trouble, and even set up a "Self-Reliance Army" in Hubei, with Shen Xin as the commander of the Right Army.
Later, when the matter was revealed, Shen Xin fled to Shanghai and transferred to Tianjin, relying on the convenience of mastering foreign languages, he took root in Tianjin's newspaper industry and became a nail rooted here.
During his stay in Tianjin, Shen Xin learned from his contacts with those dignitaries that Tsarist Russia was unwilling to withdraw its troops from the northeast, and that the imperial court intended to sign a secret treaty with them. Shen Xin couldn't sit still. After some hard work, he obtained the original text of the draft of the "Sino-Russian Secret Treaty" from Wang Wenshao's son, and made it public, causing the world to boil. Patriots from all walks of life in China have written petitions to criticize the Qing government. Even Qing students studying in Japan formed a radical armed group in protest.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the "Sino-Russian Secret Treaty" was issued, and it lost its effect. Under pressure from all walks of life, the imperial court finally gave up on signing the Sino-Russian Secret Treaty, and urged Tsarist Russia to step up the withdrawal of troops.
Forcing the court to this part, Shen Xin became a thorn in Lafayette's flesh. Therefore, we have intensified our efforts to thoroughly investigate this matter throughout the country, and we must find out the person who provided the original manuscript to the newspaper. Although someone has been helping to hide it, the paper can't contain the fire after all, and the matter is still revealed.
On July 19, 1903, Shen Xin was arrested at his home in Beijing and escorted to the Forbidden City for trial. The Queen Mother Lafayette personally interrogated, and the records of the pen and post servants did not circulate, but there were many rumors.
said that Shen Xin was above the court, and he did not shy away from what he did, and he was even more reluctant to write a confession and sign a guilty complaint. And the mouth of the lotus, scolded the Empress Dowager Cixi for controlling the government and harming the country and the people, and counted her traitorous behavior, which made the Empress Dowager Lafayette furious, and sent someone to knock out several Shen Xin's teeth in the court, and on the eighth day of the sixth month, July 31 of the Gregorian calendar, he was hanged. Shen Xin, Chinese New Year's Eve.
The Empress Dowager personally ordered the execution of a sinner, which is not a big deal, it is nothing more than the old and young masters in the capital to watch another lively. But this time is different, the reporter who was executed by the Queen Mother Lafayette is a patriotic person, a big hero who endured humiliation and infamy, worked hard for many years, and exposed the imperial court's betrayal of state-owned enterprises!
The Manchu court has become more and more detached from morality, and when it commits such a traitorous act, the people's resentment has already boiled, and the voices of uprisings in various places are endless. At this time, Shen Xin died, and it was sacrificed in a gesture of generosity and righteousness - the whole country grieved.
After Shen Xin's death, "China Daily" sent a condolence article: "Shen Jun's death, the ghosts and gods wept for it, the people with lofty ideals drank blood for it, the ministers of various countries were shaken by it, and the Chinese and Western newspapers spread it. ”
That's right, just like what is written in "China Daily", Shen Xin's death is not only how the Chinese feel, but even Western newspapers have begun to spread the word, and they have been upset about Shen Xin.
One of the Western journalists who spoke out for Shen Xin was Morrisun, a Scottish native who was the chief correspondent for The Times in China. At the same time, he also has a double identity, which is Shen Xin's best friend.
Not long after Shen Xin's death, Morrison published an article in The Times that pushed the turmoil caused by Shen Xin's death to a climax. In this article, from the perspective of British interests, he tells the various acts of Tsarist Russia in Northeast China after the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, as well as the impact of Tsarist Russia's behavior on the interests of all countries in the world. Even in the article, Morrison actively called on Japan to contend with Tsarist Russia in order to balance the power of various countries in the territory of the Qing Dynasty.
After the article came out, the whole world was shocked, but they all fell silent. "The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings". Anyone who has a heart knows that this article is about the truth and reason, and it doesn't matter if there is it or not, the facts are there. After all, even if all walks of life in the Great Qing Kingdom called for protests, they did not see Tsarist Russia continue to withdraw troops, but instead made a move to increase troops to the northeast. Japan's space in the northeast is constantly being compressed, and there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and some things are doomed.
But this is all in private, and the envoys of various countries have not torn their faces when they sit together in this rare calm year. And this article, so good that it doesn't die, brings everything to the surface, so that those who didn't understand it are also enlightened.
There are not many people in the world who can read and hyphenate, and they are stupid. The window paper is pierced, and you can't see what's inside, that's really blind.
As soon as this incident came out, the price of salt and grain in the entire Kanto region went up like crazy! Whenever a position is opened, it will be rushed. There is one thing on everyone's lips - there is going to be a war! So much so that the government had to stand up to refute the rumors, and when the warehouse was opened, it had to send troops to garrison.
But it didn't work, even if they sent troops to garrison them, these soldiers were willing to let their families go in first. Who have you deceived? It can't fool the people in the yamen!
However, Changtu Mansion is a little better, after all, it is a granary, so it will not be robbed of famine. But the taste is not quite right, there are fewer pedestrians on the street, and there are people who are in a hurry, and they don't want to stay longer. The fight has been chaotic since many years ago, and it has been chaotic until now, and there are still a few families who have settled in the city of Changtu Province because of deserters. When the Russians first called, the sight of the refugees passing through the city was still in front of me. When it comes to fighting, the people who suffer the most will always be these ordinary people.
After such a trouble, the ghost family was idle. I can't say why, but it seems that all the elves and ghosts have stopped when the war disaster occurs. That's right, ordinary ghosts are afraid of killing pigs, and so many soldiers are in full swing back and forth, and no demons and monsters can get close.
"Senior brother, you said we won't run out of food, right?" Zhao Shankun was lying on the kang and flipped through the script, chatting with Huzi, "I haven't seen you and Uncle Shi open for a month, and I see that food is getting more and more expensive, what will we eat then?" ”
Huzi lit the lamp and put it on the table, beckoning: "It's getting dark, don't lie on the bed and read, there's a light here." If you want me to say, it's best to have nothing to do, and I'm happy to have this leisure. You are also worried, your master also has a good ability to hunt, and he has not come back empty-handed when he enters the mountains, and he can't starve you. What's more, you don't know how rich your master is, and you don't worry about eating and drinking. ”
"Senior brother, do you know what happened to my master before?" Zhao Shankun didn't read the book anymore, and came to Huzi's side, "You tell me." ”
Huzi touched Zhao Shankun's head and flicked at his head: "Why don't you ask yourself?" Are you not as close to your master as I am to my uncle? Master and apprentice are like father and son, it's not appropriate for you to talk to your father and be separated from me as an outsider, right? ”
Zhao Shankun shrunk his neck: "How dare I ask?" That beating, if you hadn't stopped it, senior brother, you wouldn't have been killed. I didn't expect my master to be so angry, and he didn't say anything about beating me so hard that I couldn't go to the kang for ten days. ”
Huzi laughed: "Then your beating is not in vain." Don't look at your swollen belly, but it didn't hurt your muscles and bones, my uncle is measured! With bone broth to drink and meat to eat every day, what are you not satisfied with? The one who gives me greed, I want to go together, your master glared at me. Don't look at him so ruthlessly, in fact, he feels sorry for you, just don't say it in front of you, and talk to my master behind my back, saying that if you die, he really has no hope. You know, your master wants you to give him a pension and send him to the end of his life. ”
Zhao Shankun pouted: "Are you envious?" Are you greedy? You go out and stab a court official, turn around and let your uncle beat you so that you can't come to the ground for ten days, and you have meat to eat every day. ”
"No," Huzi touched the tip of his nose, "if I can't do it anymore, I will catch fish and rabbits, and I won't need to be so troublesome." ”
"You still feel sorry for me......" Zhao Shankun couldn't help complaining, "I feel sorry for me, I beat me so hard, my voice was hoarse, and I didn't see him retract his strength." I really thought my master was going to beat me to death. ”
Zhao Shankun's voice just fell, and a heavy cough came from the door: "Uh-cough!" Zhao Shankun listened to a spirit, stood up and shouted: "Master, you are here......"
Huzi felt Coke, and hugged his fist at Li Lintang, who came in with the curtain: "Uncle Shi is good." How do you ...... Does it sound like a wall? ”
Li Lintang first glared at Zhao Shankun, who was shrunk like a rabbit, and then beckoned to Huzi: "Don't be smiling with me, get down to business, you come out and have something to say to you." ”
The monk of Huzi Zhanger was puzzled: "What do you have to carry Shankun on your back?" ”
Li Lintang raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to come out?" ”?
Huzi stood up and came to the door, opened the curtain and made a gesture of please: "Uncle Shi, you go ahead." ”
