Doing so means that Gu Yanchuan, the governor of Liangguang, was furious, and completely tore his face with the Qing court, making it clear that he was not going to leave a little face for the court and tear off the last fig leaf.

The reason for this

The court is really not authentic, and the unkind face is too ugly, which is chilling.

Before the outbreak of the First Sino-Japanese War, Gu Yanchuan, the governor of Liangguang, out of concern for the country and the people, sent his son Gu Zhixue to the residence of Li Hongzhang, the prime minister of Beiyang, to warn him, and hoarded a large amount of artillery and ammunition in the Weihai British Concession to support the Beiyang naval fleet trapped on Liugong Island.

After the Japanese army broke through the defense line of the Yalu River, the situation was critical, and the Liangguang New Army was ordered to move north to Jinmen day and night to garrison, and Gu Zhixue was also appointed as the governor of Beizhili.

When the national crisis is at the head, the price is not discussed.

Under the circumstance that the imperial court did not allocate half of the rations, the Liangguang New Army unconditionally carried out the order and stationed the last line of defense in Tongzhou for three and a half months until the end of the war.

In the defeat negotiations

The diplomatic envoys of the Great Ocean Kingdom contributed greatly, and the huge war indemnity of 230 million taels of silver was reduced to 70 million taels of silver, which benefited the imperial court a lot.

In addition, together with France and Germany, they exerted pressure to force Fusang to give up its claim to cede Taiwan and the Penghu Islands, so that the country would not be lost, and the last trace of face was saved for the imperial court.

All of the above can be said to have made a great contribution.

Out of self-interest, the Gu family had an agreement with the imperial court;

It is hoped that Gu Zhixue, the governor of Beizhili, can take over the post of governor of Liangguang after the war, and continue the traditional power of the Gu clan in the southern provinces.

But more than two years after the war

Gu Zhixue was suspicious of the imperial court, and he was sent by the governor of Beizhili for a long time, and he has been living in Beiping City, with neither a new appointment nor a statement to let him return to his hometown, and the whole was forgotten by the imperial court, and was closely monitored by the secret agents of the government, and his situation was precarious.

In the end, Gu Zhixue had to move to a private house in Minxiang in the eastern suburbs, which is close to the legation of the Ocean Kingdom, and it is also the embassy area of European and American countries, even the secret agents of the government dare not mess around.

The wife of Gu Yanchuan, the governor of Liangguang, only had a son and a daughter, his sister-in-law Gu Zhixue, and his daughter Gu Liuyan.

Now that Gu Yanchuan is in his sixties, after recovering from the miasma, his physical strength and energy are greatly reduced, and his spirit is much worse, and he feels that the position of the governor of Liangguang will not last long.

The son-in-law was treated so unfairly, backed by the full support of the Ocean Kingdom and the Yue Kingdom, Gu Yanchuan finally went berserk, the "Guangzhou Incident" was just the beginning, relying on the support of the powerful fleet moored at the dock of Haizhuang Temple, he ruthlessly eliminated the Manchu forces in the two Guangzhous.

The imperial court's explicit ban on immigrants from the sea was only the reason for the Liangguang Governor's Palace, and the water behind it was very deep, stemming from the fact that Europe, the United States, Japan, and Russia were afraid of the rapid rise of the power of the Ocean Kingdom, and the policy of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle.

The Qing court was pushed out as a shield to attract hatred, on the one hand, it was worried that the situation in the south would get out of control, and on the other hand, it had the intention of pushing the boat down, and the problem of a large number of immigrants had to be faced.

Among them, the British Empire's secret poke also played a very bad role, but this could not be put on the surface, so that the Ocean Kingdom was solid and suffered a dumb loss.

According to the domineering temper of Li Fushou, the king of the Ocean Kingdom, he also endured it for half a year this time, and after careful consideration, he took advantage of the "Guangzhou Incident" to launch a fierce counterattack to test the bottom line of European and American countries and the Qing court.

Weng and his son-in-law hit it off and staged a major event that shook the Far East.

Seeing that he was playing the real thing, the Qing court was completely dumbfounded, and only the Qingliu ministers in the court, headed by the Hubu Shangshu Weng Tongyi, were all noisy;

"The ministers respectfully ask the imperial court to quickly send heavenly soldiers to quell the rebellion in southern Xinjiang, stabilize the society, and clean up the source to calm the hearts of the people."

"Liangguang has become the family of the Gu family, as soon as this case is opened, it will poison the land of China, and it should be imitated in the Kangxi period of the previous dynasty to clean up the three feudatories, and suppress them with the momentum of thunder, which is the best policy."

"The southern country is in danger, and the ministers ask the imperial court to send heavenly soldiers to clear it quickly, so as not to harm the southeast half of the country."

The queen mother in the Forbidden City is a sensible person, and knows that the Liangguang Rebellion must not be dealt with by force, because there is an even more terrible Nanyang overlord standing behind that old killer, can't these stupid and hard-nosed Qingliu ministers see that the Ocean Fleet is parked by the dock in Guangzhou City?

Therefore, once again resorted to the word "drag" and began to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Faced with this situation, the legations of various countries led by the United Kingdom were forced to stand in the front desk and intervene jointly.

Guangzhou

The yamen of the Liangguang Governor's Palace

Gu Yanchuan is now a majestic old man with a thin face and a gray beard, he is wearing a first-class official uniform, holding a secret letter in his hand and watching it for a long time, and then putting it down and being silent for a long time.

Cai Shoude, the governor of Guangdong, Li Ping, the governor of Guangxi, Duan Qirui, the general of the Guangdong army, Gu Zhidun, the commander of the Huwei Central Army, Bu Wei, the commander of the Huwei Right Army, and Qin Guangzhi, the commander of the Huwei Left Army, were divided into two columns, civil and military, and they all sat quietly under the hall and waited, not daring to say anything to interrupt the governor's thoughts.

"Alas, Lian Po is old, can you still eat?" Gu Yanchuan said with a wry smile, containing infinite melancholy.

Duan Qirui, the general soldier of Guangdong, was a military aristocrat ranked as a viscount of the Ocean Kingdom, and had served as an attendant to His Majesty the King, and had a closer relationship with the Ocean Kingdom than others, so he hesitated and took the lead in asking; "Lord Taiwan, is there any further edict from the south?"

This "south" is a synonym for who everyone understands.

"yes, the south means ...... Since the imperial court used the procrastination technique, we are also happy to pretend to be confused, and there are many things that can be done to completely uproot the Manchu forces in the Liangguang region, advocate new learning, relax the establishment of newspapers by the people, advocate new customs and new customs, and sweep away the outdated and bad habits of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Speaking of this, Gu Yanchuan smiled bitterly, glanced at the confidant ministers and continued;

He said...... Anyway, the time advantage is on our side, and the longer it drags on, the better.

There is no need to worry about the safety of Zhixue, now Zhixue has boarded the clipper ship in Jinmen, and will arrive in Guangzhou soon, everything is fine.

If you are in a hurry, you can stimulate the imperial court.

The Manchu generals who went down to the prison are inextricably linked to the prince of Beiping City, Beile Yellow Belt, and they can pick a few weighty suicides and keep the Guangzhou general Su Muha, this bargaining chip is still useful.

As for the joint pressure of various countries, it is just a matter of hypocrisy for the time being.

Hehehe......

Tai Chi is a traditional kung fu, which is a knowledge that has been passed down from the elders, and naturally cannot be lost.

What do you think about this? ”

"The Lord of Taiwan is tolerant, and he thinks that since Lord Zhongcheng is safe and sound, we will follow the plan and take it as the best policy." Bu Wei, the commander of Huwei's right army, was a general born in the Eagle School, and his statement was not delayed.

There is no doubt that "Lord Tai" is an honorific title for the Governor.

Gu Zhixue once served as the governor of Beizhili, and concurrently served as the right deputy governor of the Inspectorate according to the convention, this official position was called the imperial history of Zhongcheng during the Ming Dynasty, so he had the honorific title of "Lord Zhongcheng".

In the opinion of General Bowey;

Since Your Majesty has spoken, what else is there to say, just follow it.

Qin Guangzhi, Gu Zhidun, Duan Qirui and other generals spoke out one after another, and even Cai Shoude, the governor of Guangdong, had no objections, and all of them passed smoothly.

Thus

The influence of the Ocean Kingdom in the Liangguang region has penetrated into every level of military, political and commercial affairs, and its status is very important, and it must not be taken lightly.

Since Gu Yanchuan was able to do something to lift the table, he was naturally not a scheming and decisive person, so he expressed his heartfelt emotion, and more appreciated the resoluteness of his son-in-law Li Fushou.

In the future, even if Gu Zhixue can take over the governorship of Liangguang, I am afraid that he will be crushed to death by his own king's son-in-law, and it will not be possible to become a puppet on the surface, after all, it is impossible for the world to be able to pop up like a leek, and it is already a fluke to have a body.

With this layer of Weng-in-law relationship, it is enough to ensure the prosperity of the Gu clan for a hundred years.

Gu Yanchuan didn't have the slightest intention of competing with his son-in-law, the king, he knew that his son and nephew were not this material, just like vines clinging to towering trees, this is the best symbiotic and co-prosperous relationship.

Since all his subordinates passed without objection, Gu Yanchuan, the governor of Liangguang, made a final decision; "That's it, then the old man talks about juvenile madness, let's go crazy, hahahaha......"

After saying that, he burst out laughing, and everyone laughed too, full of confidence.

Among the countries involved in mediating the turmoil in the south, the diplomatic minister of the Ocean Kingdom is among them, and his identity is both a referee on the surface and a chess player in the secret, which is destined to make this international mediation thunderous and rainy.

If he can't meet the predetermined expectations, how can Li Fushou take a break?

Count them down

There are really many great powers that do not want to see the rise of the Ocean Kingdom, and it goes without saying that the Citi Kingdom and the Fuso Kingdom are the direct opponents of the Ocean Kingdom in the Western Pacific region.

The French suffered many losses, in addition to the new hatred in Indochina, there is also the old hatred of the Kingdom of Madagascar, and even further back to the Qing-French war eleven years ago, which must have been impressive.

The Germans are purely Wilhelm II who doesn't like the tough monarch Li Fushou of the Ocean Kingdom, and the two have just had a quarrel in the air, so when will they not step on it?

As for the participation of the British, it is worth playing, presumably London does not want to see another rebel after Citigroup!

It's a mixed feeling, and London has a feeling that it's getting more and more out of control over the Ocean Kingdom, so it doesn't mind a backstab.

Without it, only familiar hands!

The so-called not attracting envy is mediocrity, and this is also the case in state-to-state relations, from the standpoint of the Ocean Kingdom, immigration affairs are related to the national capital of the Ocean Kingdom, and there is no way to retreat.

Therefore, Li Fushou prepared sufficient back-up hands and decisively launched a fierce counterattack.

He wanted to use this incident to beat the Qing court hard, and then pry open a big hole, other provinces did not dare to say, at least to allow immigration in Liangguang and Yunnan.

The flood that is confined to the levee has broken a big hole, so is this levee still useful?

So

The imperial court's policy of strictly prohibiting immigration existed in name only, and immigrants from the inland provinces could first go to Guangdong and then go overseas with a swagger.

If you can realize it, you will be happy to think about it, and you will be happy!
