Not only did they delineate the territory that originally belonged to the Qing court, they even planted stakes on the Korean territory on the other side to clearly mark that this area also belonged to the Qing court.
Currently, the Qing court is China’s leader. No matter how unhappy it is, it still has to use its name for the time being.
The most important thing is that this made Saito Kizhiro feel that the response speed of the Qing court was too fast.
As soon as they walked on the front foot, they changed on the back foot.
Kijiro Saito took a look and realized that this was not possible.
He was very angry, "This is a provocation by the Qing Dynasty. This is a blatant cross-border provocation. How unreasonable."
He completely forgot how shameless he had been before.
Shinoda Harise supported, "Yes, they are shameless and blatantly violated international law. This is an unreasonable expansion and must be protested to the Qing court."
Saito Ji Zhilang thought for a while and said, "Currently, Xu Shichang is the governor of the three eastern provinces. Let's protest to him first."
"Okay, I'll go prepare now."
Soon, Xu Shichang, who was in the Fengtian Dudufu, received protests from Japan and South Korea.
The words are fierce, asking them to return the land that belongs to South Korea.
Xu Shichang was confused.
How could this happen during the Chinese New Year
Originally in history, it was the Japanese who moved the boundary stakes. After Xu Shichang found out, he led people to return the boundary stakes to their original positions overnight.
It’s just that Liu Yonghe now takes action faster than Xu Shichang.
And according to Zhao Chuanxin's instructions, there is no need to use the stick and directly move the boundary stakes to the other side.
Because he did not do it himself, Xu Shichang felt confused and laughed at the same time.
I feel that this kind of thing is too childish. It does not mean that if the boundary stake is moved, then whose land belongs to whom.
This is the difference between Zhao Chuanxin and the domestic real power faction at this time.
Japan and South Korea don’t think this is trivial.
Japan and South Korea can be shameless, but Zhao Chuanxin dares to rub his face on the ground.
If you compare with this, then I won’t be sleepy
“Who did this?”
Xu Shichang asked about the military personnel who went north with him Consulted Wu Luzhen.
Wu Luzhen was also a famous patriotic general in history. He eventually became a martyr in 1911, which was a great regret in history.
Monk Wu Luzhen was confused, "I didn't hear the news. But Governor, there is something fishy about this matter."
"I think so too. Why would the common people move the boundary stakes for no reason?" I definitely won't do this, and neither will the local government. So, who could it be?"
Wu Luzhen, who was also thinking, had a thought in his mind.
Suddenly said, "Governor, this is in line with a person's behavior."
"Oh who is it?"
"Zhao Chuanxin"
< p>Don't mention it, Xu Shichang knew Zhao Chuanxin very well, and he knew Zhao Chuanxin very well.Xin's deeds are treasured by many.It’s not that Zhao Chuanxin is so powerful, but that Xu Shichang came to inspect outside the customs last year, traveled thousands of miles, and heard countless legends about this person. Xu Shichang even went to the outskirts of Lugang Town to observe in person.
If you want to governor the three eastern provinces, you cannot avoid this person.
After hearing Wu Luzhen’s words, Xu Shichang suddenly realized.
Indeed, this is Zhao Chuanxin’s style.
This person is jealous of the "great powers" and can do anything daring. Many things seemed ridiculous to Xu Shichang, but Zhao Chuanxin did it and did it in a decent manner.
Apart from the fact that the Qing court had issued an order to arrest Zhao Chuanxin, Xu Shichang actually quite admired this person.
Before he came to governor the three eastern provinces, he had set a diplomatic policy with Yuan Datou, with the defense of sovereignty as the top priority
He must show others that he cannot attack, and that future generations will not attack; he must show others If you don't bully others, then others won't bully you.
It’s a convoluted statement. If Zhao Chuanxin is asked to say, he will kill anyone who dares to show his teeth. Don’t say that he will scare them by not being prepared and they will be afraid
But the Qing court has always been so polite and soft-spoken. A harsh word is going to go full circle.
That’s what Zhao Chuanxin did.
On the issue of jurisdiction over a hundred and fifty miles around Lugang Town, he was extremely tough in negotiating with Japan.
If you don’t accept it, you can do it. You don’t have to worry about bombing Lugang Town with cannons. As long as everyone is not dead, you’re just stirring up a hornet’s nest.
And the Japanese who had just finished the Russo-Japanese War were really scared
That's why Xu Shichang appreciated him.
But he had a doubt: "Although this matter may have been done by Zhao Chuanxin. But why did he do it? For what purpose? Could it be that he wanted to sow discord between the imperial court and Japan?" It won’t be of any benefit to him.”
In his thinking, interests still come first.
I feel that the motivation for anything cannot escape the word profit.
Wu Luzhen shook his head, "If it were just for profit, there would be no Lugang Town Charity Association, and there would be no donations everywhere. Just like the things Zhao Chuanxin did in the United States, there was no picture of him. What benefits? I think there is something behind this matter."
"What's going on?"
"I think it's possible that the Japanese moved the boundary stakes first. Then Zhao Chuanxin treated the other person in his own way."
This is probably the ability of the military counselor, and he quickly analyzed the idea.
Hearing this, Xu Shichang's eyes lit up, "This makes sense. The Japanese, the ambitious Zhao Chuanxin did a great job this time."
"Governor, what about us"< /p>
"Go and contact the Japanese side. First explain that this matter has nothing to do with the imperial court. Then declare that the boundary stakes can be moved back to their original positions, but not a single bit of the imperial land is occupied."
"Governor Wise and humble, I will send electricity to Japan now.”
At the same time,
Beiyang University Hall.
Liang Dunyan, then president of Peiyang University, was interviewing Yinghua, the chief writer of Ta Kung Pao.
"In a hurry, Governor Yuan founded an industry, which occupied part of the education funds. Although new enterprises can promote the development of education, they can't quench the immediate thirst. Now I want to expand the school library, but the funds are really limited. , I still need your help to send a report to ask for help from the society.”
The education system of the Qing Dynasty is slightly chaotic, and new schools are springing up like mushrooms after a rain. Many educators who run new schools are struggling with funding. Stretched.
This is true even for Peiyang University Hall, the earliest new school, and Jingshi University Hall, the first university in China.
Yinghua thought for a while and said, "I am impressed by Mr. Songsheng's courage in establishing education. Sending reports is a small matter, but now that the number of new schools and students is increasing, the demand for education funds has surged, and the number of people in society has increased." I'm afraid the helping hand is far from enough."
Sighing, Liang Dunyan said helplessly, "Now that the imperial court is reforming and using money everywhere, what can I do?"
Yinghua suddenly said, "I But I remembered a person, why don't you ask Mr. Songsheng for help?"
"Who"
"Zhao Chuanxin
He opened Lugang Town Charity. Yes, if I remember correctly, there is a donation for student aid. Others cost tens to hundreds of dollars, but only a few dozen taels of silver at most. And if Mr. Songsheng is willing to ask Zhao Chuanxin for help, haha, as long as he. I agree, Mr. Songsheng will definitely be surprised."
"I have heard of his name when traveling in the United States, but his methods are a bit extreme, but why would he surprise me?"
"Because he usually does it with amazing skill"
"Then how should I persuade him to make him willing to pay this money? Please ask me for advice"
Yes, Yinghua also frowned.
According to what he learned from Liu Jiahui, the Lugang Town Charity Association’s student aid donations were generally made to individuals to assist students, but there was no mention of donations to universities under the Qing government.
As far as he knew, Zhao Chuanxin was unruly and had never had a good impression of the Qing court.
How to persuade him to agree?
Suddenly, he thought of an idea, "Mr. Songsheng, why not invite Zhao Chuanxin to give a speech at Beiyang University Hall in the next year? He is famous. He is a patriotic person. As far as I know, he also knows about Western painting and has certain artistic attainments. If you let him give a lecture, you will not lose the face of the university. Let him give a lecture first. After the lecture, you can ask for help in person. I guess he won't refuse because of his face."
The last sentence doesn't have much confidence.
It’s really hard to say when you think about Zhao Chuanxin’s generous temper.
However, it is always a solution.
"Thank you for asking for advice today, it's good, good. Cut it off first and report later, which may offend this person. But as long as the funds are raised, the rest can be discussed. Anyway, I will step down next year, haha."
Yinghuaxin said that he would run away as soon as he finished the money. This is a bit of a shady comparison
Twelfth lunar monthOn the 29th, the Lugang Town Public Security Bureau gathered for a dinner to cook hotpot.
Naoko Yuka was also invited and had a lively time with everyone.
During the banquet, people exchanged glasses and exchanged cups.
Naoko Yuka also drank some, but the soju, which had a much higher concentration than Japanese sake, made her face burn bright red.
Also invited are Li Zhitao and Chui Shuijiao. These two people are celebrating the New Year in Lugang Town this year and will rush to Hong Kong Island to take office after the new year.
But Zhao Chuanxin did not go.
He is stuffing red envelopes at home.
This year’s red envelope is printed, with a very happy sheep head painted on it.
Because next year is the Year of the Sheep
A red envelope, a big ocean, plus a dime of a small ocean.
It took him a while to stuff all the red envelopes, and then checked them again.
It’s impossible not to check. If a dime of Xiaoyang is missed, the other snotty babies will be there by then, except for a few.
After returning home and handing over the piece of ocean, there will be another round of crying.
People who celebrate the New Year cannot leave a shadow on the hearts of children, right?
After checking that it was correct, he sealed the red envelope and took out a bunch of pencil boxes.
When Zhao Chuanxin was shopping in Japan with Takano Mariko, he discovered that there were pencil boxes in this era.
At that time, a stationery store owner purchased a batch of stationery boxes shipped from Europe.
Zhao Chuanxin met him and took some with him when he left.
World civilization and art both influence each other.
Japanese Ukiyo-e has been popular for hundreds of years and was introduced to Europe in the middle of the last century.
Then Impressionism, Post-Impressionism and Art Nouveau were all influenced by Ukiyo-e.
The prints on this pencil case are Post-Impressionist figure paintings. They were produced in Europe and then spread back to Japan.
Although Zhao Chuanxin is interested in art, he still doesn’t quite understand what the painting on the pencil box wants to express.
In short, it was very fancy and pretty, and he wanted to collect one for himself.
He stuffed the red envelopes into the pencil case one by one, and he was done.
This is what he said before was the "surprise" of this year.
Jiang Mingxin ran back, raised his head and said, "Dad, I'll come back to help you paste the couplets."
"Just right, you get the paste, and I'll paste it."
The door frame is pasted with a coquettish "Qian Fan Great Powers" and the word "福" in the middle.
On both sides of the entrance to the courtyard, he hung the door gods carved from wooden boards.
Qin Shubao and Yu Chigong, majestic and dignified in appearance, are able to ward off ghosts and gods
After pasting the couplets with the character "Fu", Zhao Chuanxin erected a tall pine tree pole and raised the lantern high. Gao Hangqi
Jiang Mingxin looked at the lanterns and cheered, "Oh, it's the New Year, it's the New Year, it's the New Year, I'm wearing new clothes"
What's the reason for celebrating the New Year? It's just the cheers of these children
After doing this, we are waiting for the New Year.
This year’s Chinese New Year, Zhao Chuanxin invited many people to his home for dinner.
On New Year’s Eve, after washing up in the morning.
Gao Li and Li Anyang were the first to arrive.
The two little girls immediately went back to the house, wondering what they were playing with.
Following them were Li Zhitao and Fuki Mizukoma, then Dayasu, and the last person to come was Naoko Yuka.
Zhao Chuanxin counted the number of people and said, "That won't work. Let's play cards at two tables, and Sister Hua happens to be missing one person."
The relationship between Li Zhitao and Zhang Daquan Very good, so I said, "Why don't you ask Company Commander Zhang to come and play with us."
Zhao Chuanxin shook his head, "I have family, so it doesn't matter who comes to play with you during the Chinese New Year. One table is for playing cards, and the other is playing landlords." Okay.”
Finally, Zhao Chuanxin, Naoko Yuxiang and Dayasu fight against the landlord.
Gao Li, Li Zhitao, Chui Shuiju and Miao Cuihua play cards.
Zhao Chuanxin felt that with his own strength, it would be easy to rob the two of them of their happy beans.
However, he was so wrong
He always acted as an afterthought. After the card was thrown, he would scold Dayasu, "You are a silly son of a landlord, why didn't you give her a hand and let her do it?" Play your cards"
Or ridicule Naoko Yuka, "Stupid Japanese woman, if you had just played a trick for me, would I have run away?"
Dayasu is the kind of person who doesn't care about you No matter what you say, I will always smile.
After being scolded, he bared his teeth cheerfully and was not annoyed at all.
Naoko Yuka bowed slightly and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao, I didn't play well."
The most unbearable thing for Zhao Chuanxin is that if he loses, Daya Sue was always cheerful, while Naoko Yuka bowed and apologized every time.
However, the two still went their own way.
When it was time to play and eat, Zhao Chuanxin plowed Xiaoyang in front of him, and he lost almost ten yuan in total
Look at Dayasu and Naoko Yuka again. Everyone actually won money
Zhao Chuanxin threw the cards angrily, "I won't play any more. I really can't lead you."
I asked Da Ya Su and Li Zhitao "You all lost, right?"
Naoko Yuxiang counted the money and "won more than 5 yuan."
Daya Su counted the money and "won more than 11 yuan." "
Dayasu was confused, "Then why did Zhao Sheng say he can't lead you?"
Li Zhitao kicked him, "Idiot, you are so angry with shame."
< p>""In the afternoon, Zhao Chuanxin really stopped playing.
Dayasu went to the card table.
Korea "Batiao"
Dayasu "Hupai"
Miao Cuihua "Fiftyuan"
Dayasu "Hupai" ”
At the end of the fight, Dayasu defeated three families alone.
Dayasu, who was usually silent, turned out to be a master of card table competition. This made Zhao ChuanxinQuite unacceptable.
It was noisy at night, and the servants who cooked had all gone home to celebrate the New Year, so Miao Cuihua went to cook the New Year's Eve dinner herself.
"Eat and eat, clean up quickly and wash your hands."
Miao Cuihua entered the room wearing an apron, pinched her waist with both hands and called for a halt to the game.
According to the custom of Lugang Town, the meal at midnight is mainly dumplings, supplemented by eight dishes.
Place the dumplings in the center and eight dishes around them.
In fact, there were no such "broad" things before. Now that the people in Lugang Town have money, the rules have arisen.
Pork trotters, chicken stewed with mushrooms, mandarin fish, stewed pork ribs, cumin mutton, pork belly, fried crispy pork, and tofu mixed with green onions.
Because the dumpling fillings contained some sugar, dates and xiaoyang, Jiang Mingxin had been eager to try it.
As soon as the dumplings arrived, I couldn’t wait to stretch out my chopsticks.
But Miao Cuihua slapped her hand.
"The elders haven't even touched their chopsticks, why are you in a hurry?"
"Mom, I'm not in a hurry for money."
"You have to endure the rush. ”
Children, it’s normal, they all come here like this.
Zhao Chuanxin toasted with a smile, “This year is particularly lively.
It has been two years since I came to Lugang Town, and I have witnessed with my own eyes that it has transformed from a village into a town. . I hope that every year in the future, we will be safe and peaceful. I hope we will work hard and live up to history and the times. /p>
Fight the great powers
Come on, Mingxin and Anyang also raise your kvass, let’s drink this together”
Drink the wine and blow on the water Ju whispered, "Zhao Sheng can really speak plainly."
Northeastern dialect is contagious
In the thirty-third year of Guangxu's reign, the sound of glasses clinking among people of all sizes at a table The show kicked off
Jiang Mingxin stared at the dumplings hard and soon ate out a piece of candy.
She chewed the candy bar with a smile, swallowed it, and continued eating.
Li Anyang was much quieter, eating silently and not talking.
Soon, she bit Xiaoyang.
This makes Jiang Mingxin extremely envious.
Whoever eats the money will own it.
Unlike the old coins, children were too lazy to pick them up if they fell on the ground.
Yijiao Xiaoyang has many choices for buying snacks.
Joining is all paid for by one person, and he might make a small fortune
Although Li Anyang is taciturn, he is not ambiguous about money.
She wiped the oil stains on it with her little hands and silently put it into her pocket.
Jiang Mingxin ""
Zhao Chuanxin set aside a bowl of dumplings for Ganfan and put eight dishes on his plate.
He touched the dog’s head and said, “Eat slowly, don’t bite the money and chip your teeth.”
“Woof woof woof"
"Haha. ”
After Naoko Yuka lost her family, she never imagined that she would be able to celebrate such a lively New Year.
Japan also celebrates the New Year, and New Year’s Eve is called New Year’s Eve. Later, only the New Year was celebrated. , that is, New Year's Day.
There are adults and children at the table, from the south to the north, and there is a dog on the ground. The atmosphere is lively during the New Year.
The more people there are, the more enthusiastic it is. , I felt happier.
Because I was drinking, I ate the meal very slowly.
Before I finished the meal, there was a crowd of snot-nosed kids in the yard. /p>
Everyone was wearing new clothes, carrying the glass bottle lanterns that Zhao Chuanxin made last year, and knocked on the door happily.
Miao Cuihua opened the door with a smile. /p>
Defu opened his mouth and said, "Happy New Year, aunt." ”
“It’s okay for you. ”
A group of children first paid New Year greetings to Miao Cuihua, and then poured in all at once.
Zhao Chuanxin put down his chopsticks and sat down on the chairs in the living room. Exit.
Defu knelt down first and kowtowed, "Happy New Year, uncle"
"Okay, I wish you success in your studies and both in civil and military affairs"
Then, Zhao Chuanxin glared at Zhao Hongzhi who was about to make a move.
The meaning is obvious. If you pull me aside, I won't give you a red envelope.
Zhao Hongzhi is so frustrated. It’s been like this every year
There are laws of heaven, laws of kings, and laws
More than a hundred children, that’s no joke
Naoko Yuka, Li Zhitao, and Fuki Mizukoma had never seen such a scene before.
Everyone was speechless and looked at it in surprise.
