"If you Japanese know how to be trustworthy, there is no country in the world that does not respect credit."
For a diplomat, Li Hongzhang's words are already very serious.Emperor Hua's hatred of Japan somewhat affected Li Hongzhang.Ito Hirobumi looked at Li Hongzhang in surprise, and he didn't expect Li Hongzhang to say this Li Hongzhang left after speaking, leaving Ito Hirobumi stunned."
I'll go back to North Korea."
After listening to Li Hongzhang's words, President Meng said indifferently."
The emperor is leaving Japan" has not done anything yet, Li Hongzhang felt curious, this is the first time this is the case, the emperor is usually willing to leave only if he has achieved results, I don't know if this is considered a futile.President Moe smiled: "What's so strange about this, if I'm not here, the Japanese won't ask me about everything." ”Li Hongzhang nodded, "That's fine."
However, who will be in charge of the defense of Nagasaki City, will there only be one brigade commander left" "Yes, what's the matter, the Japanese are coming, just call me, if you don't come, just build in Nagasaki City, aren't there already so many Chinese" President Meng smiled slightly, "Okay, isn't there still you, rest assured, the strength of the Chinese army, there is no problem in defending a city." ”"Well, in fact, I also agree that the emperor should leave Japan first, which will be more conducive to the negotiation process."
Li Hongzhang nodded.President Meng smiled and left, and Li Hongzhang got up to see him off.Princess Katrina Kaaf was pleasantly surprised: "I'm finally leaving, in fact, I don't want to stay in Japan for a long time, I don't know why, I don't feel comfortable staying here." ”President Meng sighed, "Because, our strength is not enough to sweep here, and it is not as refreshing as it is in the three new provinces of Siberia and the provinces of Central Asia." ”"There will be a sweeping day, after the emperor leaves, so that the countries cannot find the emperor, but it will help the negotiation to be reached."
Princess Katrina Kafu smiled.President Meng smiled, "Li Hongzhang said the same thing. ”"Your Majesty, don't think about it, this time I came to Japan, in fact, I have gained a lot, Saigo Takamori does not cooperate with Huaguo, he is stupid."
Princess Katrina Kaaf pouted.President Meng smiled: "The situation is quite favorable, the Japanese are still united, and even if there are disputes over political ideas, they can not give in to foreign countries." ”President Meng thought of the history of the Republic of China, and if he didn't mention it, in this time and space of President Meng, naturally there would be no more Republic of China, and there would be no more resurgence of the Qing Dynasty.Now what President Meng wants is to let Xinhua Guo, rise as soon as possible, however, President Meng can't wait, according to the normal development of science and technology, to the first year of history, but there are still 1877 to 1894, what will happen after 17 years, President Meng is not clear, try his best to weaken Japan, this is what President Meng can do at present, but the British are desperate to support "The Chinese army fought very well this time, and we got so many treasures, not bad." ”Princess Katrina Kafu handed President Moe a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Don't be unwilling. ”"Huh."
President Meng took the tea with a smile, "You can also see that I am unwilling, who knows that this Saigo Takamori will not follow the script" "The emperor rests, I'll arrange it, when will we leave" Princess Katrina Kafu asked."
You arrange it."
President Meng pinched Princess Katrina Kaf's little hand, feeling so happy, it is cool to have a housekeeper who can help him take care of the overall situation."
Okay, let's do it within three days."
Princess Katrina Kafu said, "However, when the emperor leaves, whether he wants to make a big show or keep it secret for the sake of political influence, it is best to publicize it, but for the sake of safety, it is best to keep it secret, and it is not good to compare the fleet of the Chinese army." ”President Meng thought for a moment, "Make a big fanfare, so that the British, and the Japanese, have the ability to bomb my fleet." ”Princess Katrina Kafu was taken aback, and asked with a little regret, "It's better to keep it secret, and hold a press conference in North Korea and invite the ministers of various countries in North Korea to come to the party, which will have the same effect." ”President Meng was not worried about the problem of really having a fleet to bomb him, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be too cautious, if the Japanese dare, they can't beat us, I believe the British don't have the courage to do this, you have to worry, or worry that the situation in the Busan area is unstable now, and there may be a small force of Japanese troops to attack and harass." ”"Okay, I'll rule the Busan garrison and get ready to take over."
Princess Katrina Kafu went down as she spoke.Lee Tae-hee smiled and stood beside President Meng, "The emperor is going back to North Korea, it's great." ”President Meng smiled: "Why do you still like to be in North Korea, so what if you go to Beijing in the future?"
"I just go back to North Korea once a year to see it." ”Lee Tae-hee said coquettishly.President Meng nodded, and suddenly thought: Princess Katrina Kafu has been here for so long, and she hasn't been in Hawaii yet, so she must be very homesick, but now the Chinese army's fleet can't go up, and there is no way to hit Hawaii, which will inevitably cause the Americans to intervene.President Meng actually doesn't dare to really provoke the Americans, a little too much in Asia, the Americans can't reach it, at most it's a protest, if it really provokes people's doorsteps, other people's governments can tolerate it, and the people can't bear it.After the opening of the port of Korea in 1876, it was the inevitable result of the intensification of various social contradictions in Korea.In December 1873, the Joseon princess Min staged a palace coup on the grounds of "the king's pro-government", and the former ruling Heungseon Daewonjun Yi Yuying, the biological father of the Joseon king Yi Hee, was forced to retire to the wilderness.After that, it was nominally King Yi Hee who was in power in Joseon, but in fact it was the Min concubine group with the Yeheung Min clan as the core who ruled Korea.Concubine Min's relatives group changed the policy of locking the country strictly in the era of Dayuanjun, and flaunted it with opening up to the outside world.In 1877, after President Moe had changed Korea into a province, the Japanese have been sending troops to Korea with the help of the British, although the total number is less than 10,000, but the Japanese and Koreans, and the Chinese look about the same, and it is very difficult to strike purely from the military point of view, so there has always been the problem of collusion between the two major political forces in Korea and the Japanese.Korea's doors were opened, trade treaties were concluded with the United States and Britain, and foreign powers began to enter Korea in full force.The Min Concubine Group also overthrew all the systems of the Dayuanjun era and said that it would "be civilized and self-reliant".Following the example of the Qing Dynasty's "Westernization Movement" to carry out a certain degree of reform, the Min Concubine group set up a management mechanism in accordance with the model of the Qing Dynasty Prime Minister's Yamen, and sent foreign missions to China and Japan to visit and study.He also created a new type of military special technical army, which was led by Min Yongyi, the nephew of Concubine Min, and hired Japanese as instructors.These open and pro-Japanese measures of the Min Concubine group aroused dissatisfaction among the Dayuanjun and the broad masses of the people.As a matter of fact, these measures of opening up to the outside world and reforming the interior of the Min Concubine clique are only a means for them to maintain their power and fight the opposition, and they are drunk and do not want to carry out real reforms for the sake of the future of Korea, and the opening up to the outside world was also hastily formed under the coercion of Japan, and it is not an equal and independent opening up, which led Japan to begin to infiltrate and invade Korea from all sides.In order to consolidate its power, the Concubine Min group vigorously excluded dissidents, cronyism from the central to the local, and supported cronies.Min Qianhao, Min Taihao, Lee Jeong Heung-heung, Yinjun and others, the backbone of the Min Concubine group, all stole authority, embezzled and corrupted, and local officials even set up clever names and expropriated expropriation.Since officialdom is like this, the North Korean royal family is naturally corrupt and degenerate.The history records that the Joseon court at that time "had a banquet every night, advocating excellence, witch wishes, and gongyu songs and blowing concubines, and the palace lights and candles were like daylight, reaching the dawn endlessly".Concubine Min gave birth to the prince Li Kun, and wanted to sacrifice 12,000 peaks of King Kong Mountain, and each peak was given a stone of rice, a horse of cloth, and a thousand taels of money.King Gaozong Li Xi promulgated the "Sin Ji Lun Yin" had to admit: "To play well is to ask, and to reward without moderation is to give; The matter of believing and praying is hidden in vain, and it is a sin to give; The employment is not widespread, the clan is worshipped, and it is the sin of giving; The palace is not solemn, and the women's temple is dry, which is a crime to give; Bribery of public banks, unpunished greed, and the sorrow of the poor are not up to the top, and it is a crime to give; The storage has been empty for a long time, the military officials have lost their feeding, the tribute is in arrears, and the market is abandoned, which is also a crime; It is the right time to unite all countries, and it is a crime to take measures to arouse the suspicion of the people. ”He confessed to the failure of the Korean rulers led by Gojong and Concubine Min at that time.The Min Concubine clique was unwilling to sacrifice its vested interests and intensified its exploitation of the people, so the depth and breadth of its "reforms" were quite limited, and not only did not make the DPRK achieve the effect of enriching the country and strengthening the army, but on the contrary, it made the lives of the ordinary people of the DPRK more miserable, and the class contradictions were unprecedentedly acute.At this time, Japan, harboring evil intentions, also began to encroach on Korea.Japanese businessmen wantonly plundered grain cheaply in Korea, resulting in the continuous outflow of the necessities on which Korea depends, and the already impoverished Korean people were exacerbated by this, greatly deepening the social crisis in Korea.Japan is also actively looking for agents in Korea and gradually launching infiltration into Korea, and the new army in Korea is headed by a Japanese as the chief instructor, which is Japan's initial interference in the internal affairs of the DPRK.The anti-Japanese sentiment of the North Koreans continued to grow, and "when they talked to the Japanese side, they gritted their teeth and wanted to kill them, especially the small people."
When the Japanese minister to Korea, Yoshishi Hanafu, entered Seoul, he was attacked by the people throwing stones all the way, and he was embarrassed.Japan's Okura Gumi employee Kodama Asajiro, Mitsubishi Corporation employee Obuchi Yoshinari and Higashi Honganji monk Hasumoto Kensei ignored the provisions of the port opening treaty and traveled to Anbian Province outside the Korean treaty port of Wonsan Port without authorization.Even "between the Linghu valley, there are a large number of bandits, bees and ants, rampant in the Lu, arson with troops, money and wood, robbing rich villages and households during the day, spreading extortions, saying that righteousness and cutting down the widows, and the uproar refers to rebellion and loyalty."
Therefore, after the opening of the port, this kind of anti-Japanese mentality that permeated the entire Korean society also became an important background and reason for the outbreak of the "Renwu Mutiny" later.Under these circumstances, discontent in North Korean society is growing day by day, signs of unrest are already appearing, and Daewonjun is also trying to seize power.An Jiyong, a close confidant of Dayuan Jun, conspired to abolish King Li Xi and set up the eldest son of Li Zaixian Dayuan Jun as king, but the incident failed, Li Zaixian was given death, and An Jiyong and others were beheaded by Ling Chi.However, the Min Concubine Group did not restrain itself because of this, and was still arrogant and lascivious, and spent extravagantly, so that there was a situation where "the treasury and warehouse were empty, the awards of hundreds of officials were difficult to continue, and the soldiers were too late".The North Korean treasury was empty, and the army had not received its salaries for 13 consecutive months, sowing the seeds of mutiny.These problems,President Moe's intelligence has already been shown.,President Meng is not a god.,Most of the decisions made by President Meng are based on intelligence.。
Princess Katrina Kafu and President Moe plan to change the situation in North Korea with a bloodless change and changes within the North Koreans."
I heard that Emperor Hua is leaving Japan."
Hirofumi Ito's subordinate Mori Yuri reported.Ito Hirobumi was stunned, "Where did you hear that?"
"Although the Chinese army is very strict with the control of spies, but I judged from their army movements, the Chinese army has begun to assemble in Nagasaki Castle, and hurry up to build fortifications around the city wall, which shows that the Chinese army has no intention of expanding on Kyushu Island as a whole, and there is only one possibility, that is, the Chinese emperor is leaving." ”Mori Youli analyzed.Hirobumi Ito nodded, "Your analysis makes sense. ”"Ito-kun, I plan to have someone send news to North Korea and ambush the Chinese Emperor in the Pusan area."
Mori Yuri whispered his plan.Ito Hirobumi was taken aback, "What do you want to do?"
"You can't beat the Chinese army, there is a garrison of thousands of Chinese troops in Busan, and the emperor is accompanied by well-equipped Praetorian Guards, so he can only be blown up by the method of bombing" Mori Yuli sneered.Ito's eyes widened, and he thought quickly about the consequences."
Have you ever thought that if you really succeed, the Chinese Congress will retaliate frantically against Japan, our biggest goal now is reunification, only after reunification, the full implementation of the new policy, can Japan embark on the road of prosperity and strength, if we fight to the death with China in advance, we are not opponents, in the end, it must be a lose-lose situation" Ito Hirobumi said with a frown."
Your Excellency, I can't think of these problems, but I know that the Chinese are weak, and there is a saying in China that the thief captures the king first As long as the Chinese emperor is dead, the Chinese have no leader, and across the vast ocean, when the time comes, we will control North Korea again, how can they have the ability to fight Japan Moreover, we still have the support of the British."
Mori Youli said with a glare.Ito Hirobumi groaned for a while, and his mind was a little messy."
Your Excellency, I am doing this for the benefit of the Great Japanese Empire, only by killing the Chinese Emperor can we have a chance to quickly resolve the current situation, obviously the benefits outweigh the risks," Mori Youli said solemnly."
When the time comes, we will defeat Saigo Takamori first, and then we can justifiably send troops to Korea in the name of protecting Japanese merchants, and the internal instability of China will be unstable, and we can take advantage of the great opportunity to occupy Busan, Seoul and Pyongyang, so that Korea will be in our hands."
Mori Youli's face was red with excitement."
This is the best chance for our Great Japanese Empire.What is about to appear before us is a new Korea belonging to the Great Japanese Empire, a Japanese province of Korea, not of China. ”"However, you have considered the risk of failure, and if the matter is revealed, not only will we not kill the emperor, but we Japan will also fall into a place of no return, and the public opinion of the entire international community will also go from sympathizing with us to helping the emperor of the country, which means that if you kill it, you can kill it, how sure are you" Ito Hirobumi asked: "Think about the problem, you can't just think about the favorable aspects, once your plan fails, our efforts to implement the administration in the past few years will all come to naught" "Your Excellency, I can't take care of these things anymore, I'm fed up with the current situation, We don't have the ability to go to Nagasaki City to confront the Chinese army, so we can only use other means, I'm sorry, my news has been sent to North Korea. ”Mori Yuli bowed.Ito Hirowen grabbed Mori Youli's collar angrily, "Bastard, you bastard, although the negotiations with Huaguo are in a stalemate now, but we have the help of international public opinion, as long as Saigo Takamori is resolved, everything will turn around, you are gambling" Mori Youli lowered his head and did not speak.Hirobumi Ito sat down on the ground dejectedly and muttered to himself, "What should I do now, what will happen" t1706231537:
