Li Hongzhang, under the instruction of Princess Katrina Kaf, hurriedly planned to support Li the most appropriate thing.Over there, the Japanese government is a little unwilling to be lonely and is stepping up its actions.Seeing that President Moe was on the defensive, Hirobumi Ito also decided to take a defensive position and once again asked diplomat Mori Youri to come to meet with Li Hongzhang, and strive to reach a consensus with China as soon as possible so that the Chinese army would automatically withdraw from Nagasaki."
This matter will be handed over to Li Hongzhang in the future."
President Meng patted the door of his brain, a little unwilling to listen.Princess Katrina Kaaf smiled: "But the president still needs to know about it, and every day in the future, the president will just listen to the news." ”President Meng smiled: "I feel a little headache when I listen to it, these little Japanese wow." ”Princess Katrina Kafu suddenly saw a piece of paper written on the table by President Moe, I thought I would meet you again on a starry night, but I was already drenched in the dark, you can't see me, I can't touch you.I think, how many years later, I may meet such a person, cautious, full of helplessness and tenderness, just like me now, so I understand you now.Some pain, some tiredness, only I can understand.I like to turn over the past in the lonely night, those past things that are buried deep in my heart, gains, losses, and haves, there is a feeling of sudden dream.Deeply loved is always very humble, the loved is always high, the ignorant and full of calculations will always lose, unfortunately, the one who loses is me."
President, so much sentimentality is coming, who is this for, can you ask" Princess Katrina Kaf's eyes flashed.President Meng smiled: "It's not written for people, it's written for time." ”Princess Katrina Kafu sighed and said with a smile: "Does the president still love to write poetry now?"
"This is nothing, write nonsense." ”President Meng is not so sour, poetry and poetry must be perceived, in addition to time, to women, he is sincere.Li Hongzhang received Sen Youli.Sen Youli got straight to the point: "Lord Li, we are old acquaintances, and I don't go around in circles, you Huaguo rudely seized Nagasaki, which is against international conventions, please give us a clear answer, when can you leave." ”Li Hongzhang said with a smile: "It depends on you, why do you send troops to North Korea, don't you know, North Korea is the province of China?"
"I'm sorry, Lord Li, we have never heard of the fact that North Korea is the province of China.Li Hongzhang was a little curious about why the attitude of the Japanese suddenly hardened, because the Japanese had the support of the Americans, after Xue Feier arrived in Nagasaki, Japan, because the acting Japanese minister at that time, Yoshikashi Hanafu, was negotiating with the DPRK government on the issue of opening the ports of Wonsan and Incheon, and the Japanese government refused to act as a guide for the United States to enter Korea on the grounds that there were many obstacles to the ongoing negotiations, but promised to let the Japanese consul in Busan handle for Xue Fei.When Shepher arrived in Busan, the Busan envoy refused to accept the letter from the United States, and Shepher had no choice but to return to Japan.After failing to get anything through other channels, Schaefer began to wonder if he had overestimated Japan's influence on Korea and became skeptical of Japan's sincerity.Schaefer then visited the Chinese Consulate in Nagasaki and asked for China's assistance.In order to break the situation of collusion between Japan and the United States and conspiracy with Korea and to contain Japan's expansion in Korea, Li Hongzhang sent a letter inviting Schaefer to visit.The bureaucracy headed by Li Hongzhang had always dreamed of "uniting the situation in the East."
Li Hongzhang saw Japan's ambitions and believed that the invasion from the East was far more terrifying than the invasion from the West.This is because the interests and ambitions of the Western countries at this time are not as focused on territorial aggression as Japan does.At this time, under the domination of self-interest, China's strategy toward Korea evolved from "calming things down" to "using razing to defeat raze," that is, persuading Korea to enter into treaties and trade with Western countries, and using the European and American powers to contain Japan, so as to prevent Japan from being monopolized, internationalize the Korean issue, and use Korea as a strategic buffer zone to protect the Qing Dynasty.Li Hongzhang constantly sent secret letters to influential figures in the Korean ruling circles, persuading them to accept the strategy of "using razing to defeat razing."
Under the guidance of this thinking, Li Hong met with Xue Feier.In the end, Li Hongzhang promised to send a messenger with a letter that would be quite useful to help Xue Feier enter Korea.However, because the U.S. government still insisted on a treaty with Korea through Japan, Schaefer had to return to the United States, ready to persuade the government to change channels.Just around the time when Schaefer left the Far East and returned to the United States, the foreign policy of the Lee dynasty began to change, and it had already decided to make a treaty with the United States.The basic impetus that forced the DPRK to change its policy towards the West was the intensification of Japanese pressure on the DPRK, the persuasion of Li Hongzhang, and the tremendous shock to the social life of the DPRK caused by the gradual reduction of the DPRK into the exclusive sphere of influence of Japan.Since the conclusion of the Ganghwa Treaty, Korea's foreign trade has been in Japanese hands, and the number of goods imported into Korea by Japanese merchants has increased dramatically.They took advantage of the privileges of duty-free trade and the free circulation of Japanese currency in Korea's open ports, and quickly took control of North Korea's finances, and the First Bank of Japan opened branches in Busan, and branches and offices in Wonsan, Incheon, Seoul, Mokpo, Nampo, and Gunsan; The 18th Bank of Japan opened branches in Busan and Wonsan.Before the opening of the treaty ports, in 1875, Korea's exports to Japan were 73,450 won, imports from Japan were 45,271 won, and the total import and export value was 118721 won.After the opening of the treaty ports, the trade lead of the DPRK and Japan increased dramatically, with North Korea's exports to Japan amounting to 806,000 yuan, imports from Japan amounting to 1,148,000 yuan, and total imports and exports amounting to 1,954,000 yuan.This means that the total volume of trade has increased by about 26 times, and the total amount of goods imported by the DPRK in particular has increased by about 26 times."
So, I still have some things to do today, so let's talk about it another day."
Li Hongzhang decisively adopted an attitude of refusing contact, and felt very comfortable.He had never found diplomacy to be such a comfortable thing to do.Li Hongzhang is the foreign minister of China, this is Nagasaki, what can he do The key is that Japan can't beat Nagasaki, and the Chinese army has stationed a whole brigade, which is the most critical.More than 10,000 elites of the 1st Field Division of the Chinese Army did not have any problems in defense.t1706231537:
