One of the problems that exists is that Xia Xianlun does not have much power, a little bit of military power, and most of the military power is still in the hands of Zhou Maoqi, the prefect of Taiwan, but Bingbei Dao holds the money and food of the Taiwan army, plus he has the power to report to the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and everything that happened in Taiwan still attracted the attention of the Qing court.Li Henian, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, reported to Beijing.In all things, fear that there will be righteousness.President Meng is now a little devil, and he is afraid that this kind of righteous person will be loyal to the Qing court, which is to impose obstacles on President Meng.Xia Xianlun's report was very specific, and he sent a detective to understand President Meng's situation in detail."
It's Xuan Yuemeng again, she actually ran to Taiwan, what are you going to do" Empress Dowager Cixi angrily threw the message on the ground.Li Lianying was also scared half to death, he also said a lot of good things for Xuan Yuemeng at the beginning, for fear that Cixi would mention this stubble again, so he quickly picked up the telegram.Jiegege pouted, did not speak, no matter what Xuan Yuemeng did, she would not feel strange now, to fight to Taiwan, it was completely within Xuan Yuemeng's ability, Jiegege did not hide it when he told Cixi about the situation in Guangdong, and had already told the strength of the Chinese army.I don't know why, Jie Gege was angry, but also felt a little like laughing, very sweet, thinking of the appearance of the cute president, the chubby little face, the little chubby paws, he actually fell in love with such a small child, Jie Gege endured it, and bit his lower lip hard.Cixi was very shocked at the time, and did not expect that the Chinese army could develop to this scale in just two years.Glancing at Jiegege.Of course, Jiegege was deceived, and the concubine of Emperor Li did not have any illness, which made Jiegege sad for a while, and Jiegege really wanted to stay by President Meng's side now."
Summoning Li Hongzhang to come to Beijing to discuss" Empress Dowager Cixi did not want to blame Li Lianying, in the end it was her own problem, even if it was to raise a tiger, this tiger was also raised by herself, and Cixi now even repented of her intestines."
Huh."
Li Lianying hurriedly went down."
Jie'er, what should I do now, are you still blaming me for bringing you back," Empress Dowager Cixi looked at Jiegege and asked.Jiegege shook his head, "I don't blame the emperor, I also want to come back, he has gone too far, and he is actually the enemy of the Qing Dynasty." ”Cixi sighed, "Yes, I didn't expect such a young child to do so many things, do you know why I haven't told the world until now and broken your marriage contract with Xuan Yuemeng" Jie Gege shook his head and looked at Cixi."
The mourning family is the same as you, and I want him to turn back" Cixi played with her wrench, "But it seems that it won't work, although he is still a child, it seems that he is really not an ordinary child, and he is more resolute than adults" Jie Gege was shocked, knowing that the Empress Dowager Cixi was about to turn her face, and officially turned her face with Xuan Yuemeng, although the Qing court had long been hostile to Hua, it had been in the stage of ambiguity and ambiguity."
I want to tell the world that I have broken the marriage contract between you and Xuan Yuemeng, and the Qing Dynasty will punish Xuan Yuemeng for everyone" Empress Dowager Cixi closed her eyes and said lightly.Jiegege did not intercede for Xuan Yuemeng, since she returned to Beijing, she knew that sooner or later she would have to come to this point, Jiegege is not very worried about Xuan Yuemeng now, but worried about the imperial court, can the imperial court stop Xuan Yuemeng Jiegege has a general understanding of the situation in the Qing Dynasty and the situation of Xuan Yuemeng."
Jie'er, why don't you speak," the Empress Dowager Cixi sighed softly.Jiegege knelt down and said: "Listen to the emperor's mother, Jie'er has nothing to say." ”"Say whatever you want, it's all fate, what I'm most worried about is, what if you get sick again" Cixi beckoned, beckoned Jie Gege into her arms, and hugged her gently.Jie Gege was in the arms of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and was moved, "There is really nothing, the Empress Dowager is right to do this, and then let Xuan Yuemeng play the banner of quasi-forehead, which is really not good for the imperial court." ”Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "It's hard for you to think about the court."
It's my cleaner. ”In fact, Jiegege already knew what happened when she was sick last time, she silently cherished this fate with Xuan Yuemeng, this fate, after all, is a time of depression, more than a happy time, Jiegege looks forward to Xuan Yuemeng growing up sooner, but she doesn't know what Xuan Yuemeng will be like when she grows up.A few days later, Cixi summoned Li Hongzhang, and after that, accelerated the speed of Fujian's troop transfer, which was the force preparing for war with Xuan Yuemeng, and at the same time, announced that the marriage contract between Jie Gege and Xuan Yuemeng was annulled in the Qing Dynasty.This means that the Qing Dynasty and Huaguo have reached the point where water and fire are incompatible, and the net is broken.On the Ryukyu side, President Moe also sent someone to contact him, but he was rejected by the king of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Shangtai, and in Shangtai's eyes, the suzerainty of the Ryukyu Kingdom was only the Qing court.Shotai was the 19th monarch of the Second Sho Dynasty of the Ryukyus and the deceased ruler of the Ryukyu Kingdom.He was the second son of King Shangyu, ascended the throne in 1848, and was canonized as King of Zhongshan in the Ryukyu Kingdom in 1866 by the Qing Dynasty, the suzerain.During his tenure, he signed treaties with the United States, France, and the Netherlands, opening the door to the Ryukyus.After the Meiji Restoration, Japan embarked on the path of aggression and expansion, and was no longer satisfied with the status of "two Ryukyus", so it planned to annex the Ryukyus.In 1868, the "Imperial Decree" of the Japanese Restoration Government reached the Ryukyus, placing the Ryukyu Kingdom under the jurisdiction of Kagoshima Prefecture in Japan, and later changing it to a direct government area.In October 1872, taking advantage of the Meiji Emperor's personal administration, Kagoshima Prefecture adhered to the will of the Meiji government and ordered the Ryukyu prince Ie and others to enter the palace to worship.Ie and the others set off by boat from Kagoshima, arriving first in Shinagawa and then entering the palace to worship.At that time, the Ryukyu greeting sheet was written as "Ryukyu King Shotai", but the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs took the liberty of removing the name of the country and changed it to "Ryukyu Shotai".Emperor Meiji issued an edict that the Ryukyu royal family was "elevated to the rank of Ryukyu feudal lord and the Chinese clan."
The following year, an edict was issued ordering the Ryukyus to be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the taxes were handed over to the Ministry of Finance, bringing them into Japan's internal affairs, all without the consent of the Ryukyu State.Just as Japan was tightening its grip on the Ryukyus, the "Peony Society Incident" provided an excuse for the Japanese to completely occupy the Ryukyus and get involved in Taiwan.On November 27, 1871, 66 Ryukyuan people who had gone to China for tributary and trade were drifted to Taiwan due to strong winds on the way home, and were mistaken for enemies by the unknown Taiwanese indigenous Peony Society, killing 54 people, and the other 12 were escorted back to China by the Qing government.The parties involved in the "Peony Society Incident" were Chinese people on the one hand and subjects of China's vassal states on the other, and they had nothing to do with Japan, but Japan deliberately plotted to annex the Ryukyus and took the opportunity to meddle in Taiwan.In 1873, the Japanese envoy Yanagihara Maemitsu came to China in exchange for the Treaty of Reconciliation of Tientsin signed with the Qing government in 1870 and the treaty documents for trade.After arriving in Beijing, Yanagihara Maemitsu went to the Prime Minister's Yamen and met with the ministers Mao Changxi and Dong Sui.He separately talked with the two ministers about the recent killing of the Ryukyuan by Taiwanese natives.In their conversations, Mao and Dong inadvertently revealed the meaning that "the murderers are all born and belong to the people outside the country."
As a result, the Japanese seized the handle and said in strong terms that these "people outside the country" were not under the rule of the Chinese government, and then expressed their denial that Taiwan was China's territory and made excuses for "representing" the Ryukyus in sending troops to Taiwan.Since the Ryukyu Kingdom is reluctant to contact him, President Moe is not a strong man.President Meng understands the position of the Ryukyu people, for the Ryukyu Kingdom, from the time of its establishment, it is to take Chinese mainland as the suzerain, the Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty is the Qing Dynasty, as long as the control of the Chinese mainland is obtained, the Ryukyu Kingdom will recognize the father.Therefore, President Moe did not force the Ryukyu Kingdom to establish diplomatic relations with him.For the Chinese to send troops to Jilong Port, occupy Jilong City, and begin to develop in the northern part of Taiwan, the Japanese of course also began to act, sending envoys to meet President Meng.It was President Moe's old acquaintances, Hirofumi Ito and Lee Sende.As the secretary of state of the Japanese Ministry of Industry, Ito Hirobumi is not in a very high position, but his power is already very large, and he is actually being cultivated as the successor of the future prime minister, and Ito Hirobumi's ability has been widely recognized in Japanese political circles."
See you again, President."
Hirofumi Ito bowed deeply to President Moe.t1706231537:
