Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 298 Give up Empress Dowager Cixi and attack Japan!
(It has been reviewed and cannot be corrected. I will go find the editor)

At this time, no one really dares to speak out.

Yehenala also fell into anxiety and struggle.

In recent years, the relationship between her and Su Yi has also fallen into a strange atmosphere.

Su Yi didn't want to coax, and she didn't want to give in.

Of course, the two of them still sleep, but the frequency is getting less and less.

Su Yi is very arrogant, and now Yehenala's attraction to him is constantly declining. He feels that this woman is too pretentious, and she is still a very low-level pretense.

And Yehenala also began to rebound.

She had this attitude when facing Emperor Xianfeng, acting very proud and tough, but not truly arrogant.

This is very troublesome.

Facing a lower-level man, this is certainly attractive. But facing a high-ranking man, this kind of behavior is very low-key.

Of course, in the final analysis, Yehenala did not want what she wanted.

There is no choice about the future.

Her whole spirit was divided into three parts: her feelings for Su Yi, her feelings for her son Emperor Tongzhi, and her attachment and desire for power.

Of these three, he could only take at most two.

Either one or three, or two or three.

She asked herself again and again, did she love Su Yi?

The answer every time was yes.

But, is she willing to give up her own power and her son's power for the sake of her feelings for Su Yi?
Not willing, absolutely not willing.

If he chooses his feelings for Su Ye, then Su Ye will always be in power, and his biological son will never be able to succeed.

of course……

If she conducted deep inner torture, she discovered that her feelings for her biological son were also very limited.

At least, far less than his own desire for power.

What's more complicated is that, you say she is attached to power, but she didn't say what she would do with this power.

She didn't say that she would use these powers to completely satisfy her own arrogance, but...she just enjoyed the feeling of having power.

This is her spiritual pillar.

She couldn't imagine what would happen if she lost her power.

However, now she is gradually losing power.

It's not even a secret that Ci'an is already in a semi-retired state, spending most of her time away from the palace and in her small home.

Almost all decisions now are made by Su Yi.

Whether it was the Military Aircraft Department or the Political Hall, Su Yi made the final decision on all major matters.

All memorials were sent to Su Yi.

The Military Aircraft Department, the Political Affairs Hall, and even the Sixth Department have formed an absolute tacit understanding.

All important memorials will not be handed directly to the Queen Mother of the two palaces.

If you want to hand it over, you can only hand it to Su Yi, who will then pass it on to the Queen Mother of the two palaces.

Of course, all imperial edicts still require seals.

The seals of Yushang and Tongdaotang are still in the hands of Yehenara.

She also has symbolic veto power, decision-making power.

Although, she never actually used it.

However, whether to use it or not is completely different.

If the young emperor is allowed to govern personally and Empress Dowager Ci'an does nothing, then she, the Holy Mother Empress Dowager, still has power.

But if Su Yi is allowed to take full power, will she still be able to hold power if the curtain is removed in the future, and even after the Tongdaotang seal is withdrawn?
There is no doubt that it cannot be done.

Or, directly pierced the window paper.

Once Su Yi usurps the throne in the future, will Yehenala still have power?

Of course there is no more.

At best, she was just a secret lover, and a lover who was not very popular.

She is not Princess Shouxi, so she can legitimately become the queen.

Therefore, from her perspective, it is beneficial to her to let the little emperor take charge.

But now many people mean that morality needs to be used to make Su Yi take the initiative to return power to the little emperor.

First, let the Queen Mothers of the two palaces withdraw their curtains and hand over their power.

Or to put it more directly, the Queen Mother of the two palaces will hand over all the imperial rewards and the seals of Tongdaotang to the emperor.

Although not now, it must be handed over in two or three years.

At this point, Yehenala was not very willing.

Even... I don't dare.

She is probably the person who knows Su Yi best in the world.

She knew very well that Su Yizhi was ruthless.

Su Yi looked like one face to Empress Dowager Ci'an, but to others, she had another face.

"The Queen Mother, in less than two years, the emperor will reach adulthood. If you miss this milestone, it will be difficult to mention it." Prince Dun Yi said.

Yehenala said: "Why are you the only one speaking? Where are the others?"

Yi Pei said: "Because I am the only one who is a fool."

Yehenala said: "This matter is of great importance. I need to discuss it with the Queen Mother of the East Palace and the Regent."

Yi Pei said: "Empress, you are the Emperor's biological mother."

Yehenala said: "Okay, that's it. I'm exhausted, so please step back."

Yi Pei left angrily.

After a while, Zhu Sanniang walked in, holding a soothing soup in her hand.

"Your Majesty, I haven't slept well these past few days, so I took this soup with a little bit of Gastrodia elata."

Yehenala brought it over, took a symbolic sip, and said, "I can't drink it."

"You brought it in so quickly. You must have been waiting outside for a long time. This soup is a bit hot. Does your hand hurt?"

The meaning behind these words is somewhat complicated.

You have been standing outside for so long. You have heard everything. Do you want to report everything to Su Yi?
Now that everyone around me is Su Yi's people, there won't be any secrets left.

Zhu Sanniang said: "No."

Yehenala said: "Have you ever thought about leaving the palace and getting married?"

Zhu Sanniang said: "No."

………………

Two days later.

Zhu Sanniang reported the entire process to Su Yi.

Su Yi frowned slightly.

"Being in the palace all these years has also delayed your future." Su Yi said: "You should leave the palace and return to the Intelligence Bureau."

"Yes!"

Su Yi suddenly said: "Besides, I'm really sorry for you. I took your body so casually. I was a virgin when I was with you, but I can't give you my identity."

Zhu Sanniang said: "Children of the Jianghu, how can we pay so much attention to it?"

Su Yi smiled and said: "The Intelligence Bureau will soon change its uniforms. You are already heroic, and you will definitely look even better after putting on the new uniform."

Zhu Sanniang said: "Can you attract the prince a little bit?"

Su Yi said: "Yes."

Then, Su Yi said: "You should evacuate all the people around her who are visible to her."

Zhu Sanniang said: "Yes."

Then, Su Yi continued to look through the information in his hand.

There are those from Vietnam, Japan, and Russia in the north.

Now there is a high possibility that he will face three wars.

Although he doesn't want to, it is often not based on his will.

In Japan, the Emperor's faction has completely taken power, and the fall is over.

With the support of the United States, France, and Russia, Japan is sharpening its sword and is ready to attack the Ryukyu Kingdom.

On the Vietnamese side, the French army also stepped up its offensive.

The Russian army in the north has assembled nearly 200,000 troops and is ready for war at any time.

Su Yi plotted against others.

But people are also plotting against Su Yi.

"The Japanese side, is it soon?" Zhu Sanniang asked.

Because she was a senior member of the intelligence bureau, Su Yi placed these pieces of information on the table without covering them, which meant that she could see them.

"Yes, Japan's actions are becoming more and more intense." Su Yi said.

Zhu Sanniang said: "No matter what, our situation is much better than a few years ago. At that time, we were also facing three wars at the same time."

She stepped forward gently, placed Su Yi's head on her peak, and massaged him gently with her hands.

Su Ye reached behind and touched her full moon.

She is different from other women. She is really strong and compact, and feels heavy to the touch.

After a while, she was slightly confused and said in Su Yi's ear: "Your Majesty, is it okay to take a humble position?"

Su Yi said: "Okay."

She turned around, lifted up her cheongsam, and sat down slowly.

…………

Another day passed.

Zhu Sanniang formally resigned from the palace.

And it wasn't just her, all the maids around her left Changchun Palace and the Empress Dowager Cixi.

When she appeared again, she had put on military uniform and became a colonel in the Intelligence Agency.

This uniform is really tempting.

After putting it on, I feel more gorgeous, sassy and beautiful than ever before.

The great eunuch Zenglu came to Yehenala and said: "The Queen Mother, Zhu Sanniang and other maids have resigned and left the palace. Please give me your instructions as to who the Queen Mother would like to serve."

Suddenly, Empress Dowager Cixi's expression changed slightly.

This... what does this mean?
This...are you giving up on me?
The great eunuch Zeng Lu said: "If the people in the palace don't like it, the empress can also call people in from outside."

This was not said by Zenglu, the eunuch in charge.

However, he made his words clear.

You can ask for someone directly from your natal family, or you can ask someone you absolutely trust to come to Changchun Palace.

You can escape surveillance.

This should actually be terrifying.

Because once Su Yi lets go, it means letting you control the conspiracy.

This proves that when things happen in the future, he will not be merciful.

Yehenala's face was ashen, this... what does this mean?
Isn’t it okay for me to complain?

Besides, I haven't said it explicitly yet. I just said, "Did Zhu Sanniang stand outside for too long?"

The great eunuch Zenglu stood there with his eyebrows lowered and his eyes as clear as a mirror.

The biggest obstacle to the regent's power now is the emperor, and the one who can help the regent remove the obstacle is the two empress dowagers.

The Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager, had already done everything, faded out of sight, and gave Su Yi the seal of the imperial reward.

But the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, was completely unwilling to hand it over.

There are also rumors about a change of pro-government, and the voice of the people has become more and more intense.

At this time, as long as the queen mothers of the two palaces directly stand up and say that the emperor is too young and the state affairs are too difficult to be in charge, the regent will still be in charge of the government.

You are the emperor's biological mother, what you say is particularly convincing.

But you didn't say it either.

Moreover, it seems that the people's voices for the emperor to take charge of the government are getting louder and louder.

Although you haven't done anything, but...sometimes, not making a choice is also a choice.

……

After nearly five years of farming, Li Hongzhang finally returned to the capital.

Outside the customs, he was first responsible for the settlement of more than 100,000 people.

They were all prisoners of the Hunan Army.

This group of people is very restless, and the environment outside the pass is complicated. There are Taiping troops and exiled bannermen inside.

In just a few years, millions of people moved here.

There were really riots and large-scale fights that happened every now and then. I don’t know how many times they happened.

Li Hongzhang's cruelty also shocked people.

It is said that these hundreds of thousands of settlers are all prisoners of the Hunan Army, and they are all our own people.

But when he killed his own people, he was very ruthless.

The killing was so heavy that the entire settlement area was killed.

The hundreds of thousands of prisoners of the Hunan Army were killed until their souls were broken to pieces.

Countless people cursed him as an evil official.

It took him three years to settle down the reclamation area, and then he was sent to the Anshan Iron Mine.

Here it is even more complicated, because the work is more difficult and the composition of the miners is also complex, including criminals, prisoners, and exiles from the Bannermen.

It took Li Hongzhang a year and a half to take care of more than 20,000 people in Anshan Iron Mine.

During this period, almost every seven days, he wrote an article and submitted it to the capital, with only three core contents.

Reform of local RMB bureaus.

Future imperial examination reform.

New education reform.

These three items, all aimed at local big families and local bureaucrats, were killed at every turn.

Completely cheer for Su Yi.

So now when local big families talk about Li Hongzhang, they gnash their teeth. He is a disgrace to scholars and a traitor to scholars.

I wish I could smash him to pieces.

Finally, five full years later.

Li Hongzhang's efforts were successful, and he was transferred back to the capital with an imperial edict.

Because a new Yamen will be established next, it will be temporarily named the Development and Reform Yamen.

Zuo Zongtang is the first in command, and Ma Xinyi is the second in command.

And Li Hongzhang was transferred to this new yamen and became an assistant, only the fifth rank.

Su Yi's former aide Zhao Liewen was also an assistant, but he was a fourth-rank official.

Li Hongzhang was once the governor of Jiangsu and a second-rank official. Now that he has been promoted to a fifth-rank official, he is more ecstatic than ever.

Real tears of gratitude.

The regent is wise, he finally saw my efforts, Li Hongzhang.

I was finally able to make my mark.

Only by betraying one's own kind can one obtain the greatest value.

At the court hall the next day.

An imperial edict was drawn up and the imperial seal and Tongdaotang seal were stamped.

The Development and Reform Office was established, equivalent to six ministries, and was directly under the leadership of the Political Affairs Hall.

Suddenly, the Han officials present let out a low cry in their hearts.

After enduring it for so many years, the regent finally decided to take action against the Han people.

But in the court, no one has the power to resist, and there is not even the possibility of questioning.

The Political Affairs Hall, the Military Aircraft Department, the Sixth Department, the Army Yamen, the Navy Yamen, and the Prime Minister's Foreign Affairs Yamen were all under Su Yi's control.

But when it comes to the local area, it's completely different.

Even at the state and county level, it was completely dominated by the local Han clan.

It is true that Su Yi's Westernization Movement is in full swing, sweeping away all interests wherever he goes.

However, after all, there are only a dozen cities where the Westernization Movement is now taking place.

.........Inside the new Yamen.

Several core officials are discussing how to start the war.

Li Hongzhang said: "Left Prime Minister, Mr. Ma, I feel that the reform of the local Lijin Bureau cannot start with the Lijin Bureau first. The work lies in poetry."

"We should concoct a big case first, a big case that shocks the world."

"Then, based on this major case, we will continue to arrest people, continue to kill people, and get rid of all those who obstruct the reform."

"Otherwise, the reform will be complicated and obstructed, and it will be easy to be led by others, causing fires to start everywhere and not be put out in time."

Neither Zuo Zongtang nor Ma Xinyi are pedantic, and their methods are extremely ruthless.

Especially Zuo Zongtang, who killed more than a million people in the northwest.

"This time is different from flag affairs reform and military reform. Both of those things must be done quickly, accurately and ruthlessly." Zuo Zongtang said: "But this time, the reform of the local Lijin Bureau is different. We are not afraid of being slow, but we must be thorough!"

"Moreover, the goal to be accomplished is not only to reform the Lijin Bureau, but also to carry out a blood change."

"With the development of the Westernization Movement, a large number of new powerful people have emerged. These people are direct descendants of the Regent. However, they do not have enough power now."

"On the local level, many wealthy and powerful families are deeply entrenched and look on coldly at the prince's reform cause, or even secretly obstruct it."

"These people are rotten."

“In addition, with the full-scale launch of the Westernization Movement, the contradictions in the entire country will become more and more intense.”

"The most important point is that the land tax of this dynasty is not enough. The living standards of the farmers at the bottom are too low, which is not conducive to all-round development. So we have to find ways to get a lot of fields. Of course, there is a lot of land outside the customs, and in Xinjiang There is also a large amount of land, enough for current distribution, but what about the future?”

"So, we still have to take a lot of land out of the hands of the big families."

"One more thing. In the past few years, we have opened many university schools and built many new schools in Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, and Hunan provinces. However, they have gradually been blocked by local forces."

"There are even many students from new-style schools who are suppressed in county examinations, government examinations, and college examinations."

"It's best to take advantage of this time and solve some of them."

"My lords, I don't ask for haste. I have already made up my mind and am mentally prepared. I will not move my position within ten years and will stay in this development and reform yamen."

"My colleagues, just follow me and fight this tough battle."

"The great achievements that Zhang Juzheng and Emperor Sejong failed to complete back then will have to be completed in the hands of a few of us."

"It is said that the pacification of the northwest will be a great cause for thousands of years, but in my opinion, what we are about to do is the real great cause for thousands of years."

Ma Xinyi said: "I would like to be the prime minister of the left and look forward to it."

"Be loyal to the regent!"

"Be loyal to the regent!"

"Be loyal to the regent!"

…………

Zuo Zongtang and others began to organize the new yamen in the shortest possible time.

Select people in large numbers, not only in the capital, but also in local areas.

Use talents in an eclectic way.

And a large number of extreme scholars and those who failed in the imperial examination were used.

A large number of members of the powerful association entered this yamen.

Although this yamen has not officially started its work yet, it has already set off waves of storms, and the wealthy families in countless places are frightened.

Many disturbances have already begun to brew.

.........

On this day, the newly appointed Colonel Zhu Sanniang of the Intelligence Bureau came to report with a piece of intelligence.

"Your Majesty, there is a lot of intelligence that shows that many scholars from all over the country, and even Juren, have begun to join forces and plan to jointly submit a letter to ask the Queen Mother of the two palaces to withdraw the curtain."

"Please return the power to the Emperor."

"This is the current sample letter format."

Zhu Sanniang placed this petition in front of Su Yi. There was almost no mention of the word regent in it.

However, all the core points point to Su Yi, the regent.

"This was guided by someone." Zhu Sanniang said: "If it were a normal letter, the regent would inevitably be mentioned, but there was not a word mentioned."

"At present, many scholar leaders have been monitored. Their behavior of signing a letter can be killed in advance."

Su Yi asked: "Are there many people connected in series now?"

Zhu Sanniang said: "There are probably thousands of people now, and there are more and more."

Su Yi said: "Why do you think they are connected in series?"

Zhu Sanniang said: "Three reasons."

"The first reason is that the impact of the Westernization Movement on traditional interests is constantly weakening the influence of local wealthy families. These scholars feel the same way."

"The second reason is that many scholars are traditional and conservative, and the Westernization Movement is a Western-style movement. They can't stand it, don't understand it, and instinctively resist it."

"The third reason is that new education is on the rise. Many people have seen a trend. In the future, talents with new education will continue to enter the power level, which will affect the monopoly of this group of people on the bureaucracy. And there are now rumors that the prince will Reforming the imperial examinations violates their fundamental interests.”

Su Yi said with a smile: "Sanniang is very different from back then, when she kept saying she would fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Sanniang said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates just lack the opportunity to receive education and fail to open their eyes to the world. They are not really stupid."

Next, she asked: "Are you going to stop them? Are you going to kill their petition?"

Su Yi said: "Sanniang, what do you think?"

Zhu Sanniang said: "You want to ask my opinion on such a big matter?"

Su Yi said: "Your opinion is the purest."

Zhu Sanniang said: "No, my opinion is not pure at all. I am so obsessed with the prince."

Su Yi said: "You dare to fight and kill, and you don't like being a dog and a fly. It represents the simplest wish of most people."

Zhu Sanniang thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, if we ask them to submit petitions, there may be thousands or even tens of thousands of people, because there will be many Han Chinese clans pushing behind them. By that time, the topic of returning power to the emperor will be completely public and open to the public, and everyone in the world will discuss it."

Su Yi said: "Yes."

Zhu Sanniang said: "By that time, the conflict between the regent and the emperor may also become completely public."

Su Yi said: "Yes."

Zhu Sanniang said: "Even your ambition, my lord, will be completely made public."

Su Yi said: "I know."

Zhu Sanniang said: "At that time, there may be a big debate in the world about whether the prince should become Huo Guang or Wang Mang. According to the current situation, you cannot become Liu Xiu."

Su Yi said: "Sanniang seems to have read a lot of books."

Zhu Sanniang said: "Aren't I just afraid that I won't be able to keep up with you and will be disliked by you?"

Then, Zhu Sanniang said: "Your Majesty, a few of us will also discuss this matter privately and how to put the Prince in power."

"Most people still have very traditional ideas and routines, which is to ask the emperor to abdicate. Moreover, you are also Jueluo and of royal blood. It is reasonable for you to inherit this great position."

"And with the example of Wang Mang in front of them, everyone feels that the new dynasty is ominous."

"Many people think it would be good for you to inherit the Qing Dynasty like this."

Su Yi said: "Then what do you think?"

Zhu Sanniang said: "You also know that I oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty."

Su Yi said: "Then my surname is Zhu?"

Zhu Sanniang rolled her eyes at Su Yi and said, "Don't tease me. As soon as you tease me, I feel like you want to sleep with me."

Then, Zhu Sanniang said seriously: "However, I don't want you to take such a path. In this way, it will be as if your position comes from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, as if Aisin Gioro has great kindness to you. But you are clearly remaking the world, and this country should be yours, and you don’t need anyone else to give it to you.”

Su Yi said: "You are right, that's why...I want to say, let them write a letter and let them make this matter public to the world."

"Don't be secretive."

"Be fair and aboveboard!"

…………

Follow Su Yi's decision.

The Intelligence Bureau lifted the restrictions on this group of scholars and allowed them to write letters and connect with each other.

Many local wealthy people clearly feel this.

The first thing I felt was fear.

This scene is actually quite familiar.

Once Su Yi let go of his hand, it meant that he had raised the knife.

But...many things are still on the string and have to be taken action.

And those who rushed to the front were these passionate scholars who were not familiar with the world.

The emperor is about to come of age. Isn't it the greatest political correctness to return power to the emperor?
Moreover, the Queen Mother of the two palaces listened to the government behind the curtain, which was something that had never happened before in this dynasty and was a helpless move.

In addition, the affair between the Empress Dowager and the Prince Regent has been widely spread and is known to the whole world.

The Queen Mother lived outside her home most of the time and had given birth to several children for the Prince Regent.

Being so unfaithful and completely contrary to morality, how can one be a mother to the world and how can one govern the world?
Of course, no matter how crazy these scholars were, they would not dare to openly mock Empress Dowager Ci'an in their memorials.

…………

The entire capital and the entire court were in turmoil.

Because the trend of local petitions in series has become more and more intense.

Su Yi had no intention of stopping him at all.

Although countless memorials have not yet arrived, they are already halfway there.

More and more people have signed the letter, and the number has exceeded several thousand, even reaching tens of thousands.

There are not only candidates here, but also a large number of talented people.

at last……

One day, dozens of candidates and hundreds of scholars arrived in the capital.

On behalf of tens of thousands of scholars, memorials were sent.

Several carts of memorials.

Still without any obstruction, these carts of memorials were sent directly into the palace.

It's placed in the political hall.

It took a long time for dozens of eunuchs to move tens of thousands of memorials.

After opening these memorials, the contents are similar.

They all asked the queen mothers of the two palaces to withdraw the curtains and prepare to return power to the emperor. The regent was almost never mentioned.

of course.

There are many scholars in the world, and most of them are silent.

There are even many scholars who support Su Yi.

But...the one who is speaking out now is to return power to the emperor.

…………

At the court hall the next day.

Su Yi said slowly: "Is everyone aware of the recent petition from tens of thousands of scholars?"

"Got it."

Su Yi said: "Move it up."

With an order, tens of thousands of memorials were all moved to the main hall of Qianqing Palace.

Su Yi said: "This is the voice of thousands of scholars. They all ask the queen mothers of the two palaces to withdraw the curtains and return the power to the emperor."

Upon hearing these words, the little emperor immediately stood up and expressed his feelings.

Of course, everyone knows what he will say.

It just means that I am young and have weak moral character, and I am not yet able to take charge of the government personally. I still need the Queen Mother of the two palaces to take charge of the government.

However, Su Yi interrupted him directly.

"This matter will eventually be explained to the world."

"All the princes in the court have to express their opinions."

"If you have any ideas, you can submit a letter."

“You can even write anonymously.”

…………

Under Su Yi's leadership.

There was a big discussion in the whole capital and the whole world.

Should we return power to the emperor?

Everyone spoke freely.

I have to say that the inertia in this world is too great.

In other words, the Qing Dynasty was not destroyed hard enough.

After the British and French forces entered the capital, they brought great pain and humiliation. However, with Su Yi taking charge, the situation was quickly restored and brought victory after victory.

Therefore, I have somewhat forgotten about that shame.

I even feel that the Qing Dynasty is still prosperous.

So, no big changes are needed.

Therefore, it is the aspiration of many people to let the emperor gradually take charge of the government.

As for the regent, Huo Guang is the best example.

Besides, the emperor is a student of the regent. Is it possible for the emperor to implement the New Deal? After twenty or thirty years, how can the emperor be able to do it?

At that time, the regent can retire in peace.

Because most people don’t understand the stormy waters of the world.

I also don’t understand this once-in-a-lifetime strategic opportunity.

But the most elite group of people knew clearly that if the regent could not remain in power, the reform project would probably be abandoned halfway.

The current situation is completely different from the era of Yi Yin and Huo Guang.

But the vast majority of people in the world are not elites and cannot see the facts clearly.

Their minds are still filled with the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor, which is somewhat deep-rooted.

At this time, drastic changes abroad finally occurred.

The Emperor of Japan officially announced that the title of Ryukyu Kingdom would be revoked and changed to Ryukyu Fan.

This is about two years ahead of schedule.

Zeng Jize, the Qing minister to Japan, asked to see the emperor and expressed strong opposition to the matter, stating that the Ryukyu Kingdom was a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty and that Japan had no right to make such a decision.

Immediately afterwards, under the instigation of the United States, France and Russia.

Emperor Meiji's attitude became increasingly tough, and he even spread rumors that Ryukyu would immediately stop paying tribute to the Qing Dynasty.

Minister Zeng Jize met the emperor again and expressed an even stronger protest.

Moreover, he also delivered a public speech in public, strongly condemning Japan's shameless behavior.

It was his public speech that completely angered the radicals in Japan.

Many young military officers and even wandering samurai began to besiege the Qing legation stationed in Japan.

There are more and more besiegers, and the situation is becoming more and more uncontrollable.

Finally, it turned into a violent conflict.

Countless thugs broke into the legation and began burning, killing and looting.

Suddenly, the April tragedy happened.

The Qing embassy in Japan was burned and more than a dozen officials were killed.

After the tragedy, Emperor Meiji sent an envoy to the capital of China to try to explain the incident.

On the other side, troops were once again sent to the Ryukyu Kingdom.

…………

More than a month later!

Zeng Jize fled to the capital and reported this horrific tragedy to the imperial court.

Also arriving was the Crown Prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom. He burst into tears, accused the Japanese of atrocities, and asked the suzerain country to send troops to save the Ryukyu Kingdom from the fire and water.

Su Yi was furious.

The queen mothers of the two palaces were furious.

Then, he formally ordered Navy Minister Xu Youren, Navy Admiral Jurgen, and 20,000 Marines to immediately assemble the army.

More than half a month later!
The Chinese army has been assembled.

Officially declared war on Japan and attacked the Ryukyu Islands.

Immediately afterwards, the Kingdom of Koryo also officially announced that it was declaring war on Japan.

So far!

The war against Japan that Su Yi had been brewing for ten years finally broke out!
…………

Note: More than 8,000 words are sent here, thank you all!
