Chapter 263: Interference in Internal Affairs
Emperor Meiji looked at the appointment presented by Hirobumi Ito in front of him to appoint Oyama Iwa as the commander-in-chief of the front, and his eyes were about to burst out with anger. www.biquge.info Although the crossing crowd whitewashed the surrender of Dashanyan, 4,000 surrendered Japanese soldiers returned to the landing site at Huayuankou along Jinzhou Avenue with some weapons. However, Emperor Meiji still learned that Oyama Iwa had made the decision to surrender despite the delay in the arrival of naval support, and the truth was not that the First Volunteer Brigade had preached, and he led his subordinates to hold on until the signing of the ceasefire agreement between the two sides.
Emperor Meiji was able to accept Oyama's decision to surrender in order to preserve the strength of the Japanese army in a desperate situation, but he could not tolerate the fact that the Great Song Dynasty had made a move to interfere in Japan's internal affairs after blackmailing 20% of the post-war reparations. He worked hard to unify Japan and did his best to make Japan reluctantly industrialize, but now he has ended up in a situation where he cannot be independent in internal affairs, and it is a yellow-skinned regime that strongly intervenes in Japan's internal affairs that is still as yellow-skinned as them.
However, his father, the British benefactor, had already issued an ultimatum, warning Japan not to do any more things, and that the current balance of power in the Far East could not be upset because of Japan's obstinate actions. Japan had to compromise in exchange for a promise that the Great Song would not send fleets to the Far East. If the Great Song fleet had arrived in the Far East, and Tsarist Russia had retreated and turned its attention back to the European continent, the Japanese would not have been able to afford this responsibility.
Ito Hirobumi also has a bitter can't say that dancing with long sleeves among the great powers is their forte, and this kind of trick of taking advantage of the contradictions between the great powers to profit is once played vigorously. As a result, everything changed after the Great Song Dynasty suddenly and forcefully intervened in the Liaodong Peninsula. Britain and Germany should have fallen over to the side of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Japanese were soon forced to abandon their post-war interests in the Liaodong Peninsula. The most hateful thing is that there is a friend in that Shan County, that reckless martial artist, who introduced Tsarist Russia into the bureau. This is to expose the scales of the gold lord's father, you can have an affair with Tsarist Russia, but you can't really lean into the arms of the polar bear. Now it's okay, the father of the gold owner is really angry and threatens to withdraw the capital and cut off the food. What will Japan use to fight the Manchus at that time? With the bronze Italian cannons that they replicated in their arsenal, or those Murata single-shot rifles with a touching rate of fire?
In the end, Emperor Meiji had to sign a document submitted by Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito to make Aritomo return to Japan and appoint Yasumun Oji, a loyal fan of Oyama Iwa, as the temporary commander of the First Army. Dashanyan continued to command the Second Army on the Liaodong Peninsula and concurrently served as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army's operations against the Manchus in China. Having Yasumi Oji, who had just been promoted to major general, take command of the First Army of the Japanese Army was unheard of in the Japanese army, which emphasized the tradition of seniority, and even a blind person could see that this personnel arrangement was influenced by some kind of resistance.
But what can you see? The big stick of the Great Song Dynasty is in front, and the carrot of the gold master's father is in the back, which is clearly a multiple-choice question that you will die if you don't compromise. All Meiji could do was to use the crane voice to imply that Ito Hirobumi had arranged the matter of carrying the blame, and the royal dignity should be maintained.
Youpeng in Shanxian County, who boarded the ship back to China at the mouth of the Yalu River, knew that this pot must have been carried by himself, and the original plan to make a fierce general's prestige on the verge of death also failed, and he didn't even have a chance to commit suicide now, he had to go back to the big guys to carry the black pot on his back, and then he could die dishonorably. All this stemmed from his arrogance, thinking that he could force the Great Song to revise the agreement by virtue of his superiority in the number of combatants. However, the battle ended in a way they never expected, and the Japanese had nothing to gain but a large number of troops and supplies.
The Japanese were busy extinguishing the fires in their backyards, and Tian Buzi in Tianjin was also busy adding to the Manchus and Tsarist Russia. A large amount of news about the unfavorable operation of the Qing army outside the customs was circulated in the city of Tianjin in the form of leaflets. In this birthplace of cross talk, there is no shortage of those who love to make fun of current affairs, and those who tell stories and talk about cross talk regard the foreign appearance of the Qing army fighting outside the customs as a burden after artistic processing, and constantly leak it out in their own performances.
In this era of lack of entertainment, watching a play and listening to a little song is the pastime of rich families. The common people of Pingtou are more in the teahouse on the street to see those artists who buckle cakes in the flat land talk cross talk and tell stories, and soon the ugliness of the Qing army spread among the people, and the news that the Great Song Dynasty, which is said to have been destroyed for hundreds of years, appeared on the Liaodong Peninsula again.
These ordinary people who have no concept of family and country soon became the volunteer sailors who crossed the crowd, and there was no other reason - fresh. Just listening to the green battalion banner soldiers of the imperial court were beaten, what is rare, this Tianjin city has passed the British and French armies a few decades ago, and even the Old Summer Palace has been burned by foreigners, who doesn't know that the imperial court is not beaten?
There is an army of Han people outside the Guan, and the Oriental dwarf is beaten so that he can't raise his head, so it's called Coke. What? You say it's an anti-thief even the imperial court? You eat too many buns and block your brain, the Great Song Dynasty started with the ancestors of the Manchus hundreds of years ago, and they are the orthodoxy of the Han people, and I have never heard that the Great Song Dynasty is considered a rebellion. Tut-tut, have you heard, there are female soldiers and female generals in this Great Song Dynasty, and I don't know if it is a descendant of the Yang family in Tianbo Mansion, and I have the opportunity to go to Dalian Bay to see and understand.
Tianjin was the largest commercial port in China at that time, and merchants from the south to the north gathered here, and soon the news also flowed to all parts of the country along with the goods. The adults in the capital are interested in investigating this matter strictly and suppressing the momentum of these rumors spreading everywhere. However, with the lesson of Rong Lu being taken away in the Governor's Mansion of Zhili, no one is willing to take this hot potato. Guangxu and the old witch had no other way than to strictly order the old fox to investigate and deal with it.
There is a reason why the old fox is called the old fox, where the source of this rumor comes from, he knows where he doesn't go out, where is this where he found out? Li Hongzhang didn't bother to negotiate with the British, and a word of freedom of the press could make him feel dusty. Besides, at this time, he was like a mirror in his heart, if there was no appearance of the Great Song Dynasty, he would be confident that the subsidy would allow the Manchu Qing Dynasty to last for another few decades, but when the Great Song Dynasty came to occupy the orthodoxy of the Han people, it is really difficult to say whose family is in this world in the future. He doesn't want to be a second minister, but he doesn't want to be infamous as a traitor, look at the statue of Qin Hui in the temple in Hangzhou, and the Zhongtang Lord who cherishes feathers should have never seen a call from the capital.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty used a literary fight, and the Maozi used a martial arts. Although the whereabouts of the wreckage of the radio station have never been found, Tian Buzi has never relaxed the attack on Maozi. Especially in the US concession, where no one is in charge of the overall situation, the two sides are fighting even more, and often an unsuccessful stalking will turn into a shootout. If it was in the British Concession, the British would still come out in a fake way to maintain the order, of course, it was also an obvious action to pull the bias, and it was often when Ma San's action team did not have the advantage that the third brother would be driven out to support the scene. If Ma San's subordinates have the advantage, then the third brother is basically here to collect the corpse with soy sauce.
When the position of the British was unfair, the Russians transferred all their property to the American concession. Unexpectedly, their decision to think that they could control the situation without the constraints of the British led to the rapid escalation of this conflict based on martial arts. Both the Military Intelligence Department and the Homeland Security Department regarded Mao Zi as the target of the newly formed action team, and rushed to Tianjin one after another.
