Chapter 248 Bleeding the Dragon Prince and Stewing Sauerkraut(1/3)
There are also Korean traitors in South Korea, some of whom care about the Qing court, and some who seek refuge in Japan.
Japan's destruction of South Korea was actually achieved by signing three Japan-South Korea agreements and gradually encroaching on it.
With the first Japan-Korea Agreement in 1904, the Japanese took South Korea's finances and foreign affairs into their hands.
In the second Japan-Korea Agreement of 1905, Japan officially deprived South Korea of its diplomatic rights. Japan established the Han court's supreme palace in South Korea, the Tongjianfu. The leader of the invasion, Ito Hirobumi, became the general supervisor of the Tongjianfu and took charge of the overall situation.<
/p>
For the third time, this year, Japan is already plotting to sign the third Japan-South Korea agreement, but it has not yet been implemented.
In the future, there will be Korean traitors who take the initiative to "petition", crying for their fathers and mothers, begging Korea to join the Japanese Empire and disband their own army.
Currently, there are Koreans working as lackeys for Japan, including those who will invade China in the future.
The people outside the customs affectionately call them - Erjiizi.
The domestic situation in the late Qing Dynasty was treacherous and changeable.
Naturally, some people have seen this crisis.
Although Cixi was afraid of war, she was not willing to see the Qing Dynasty perish.
After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Han officials began to rise, and the situation in the Qing court improved slightly. However, after the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, the Han officials were suppressed by Mangui and returned to their original form.
After Li Hongzhang and others passed away, the rest of Mangui became useless.
Mangui, led by Yi Kuang, Zaifeng and others, naturally understand the principle of dying lips and cold teeth.
So this is the current situation. Cixi strives to resolve disputes safely and without fighting, but Yi Kuang and Zaifeng feel that the emperor and his ministers should work hard to protect the country.
That's why Xu Shichang has a little bit of strength to rely on.
But obviously this toughness is limited.
If Zhao Chuanxin had not intervened, the Tongjianfu Police Station would still have to be built, and the Japanese would still succeed.
On the train, these things went through Zhao Chuanxin's mind.
Opposite, Jin Wuzhi, who was wearing a suit and tie, asked curiously: "Mr. Zhao, what are you thinking about?"
He can speak fluent Chinese.
In fact, at this time, Japanese and Korean aristocrats and intellectuals were still proud of knowing Chinese characters.
Even when Japanese aristocrats were studying Western culture, they refused to read English books because they thought it was a vulgar language.
After South Korea has experienced "de-Sinicization", its own people cannot understand its own history, because all history books are recorded in Chinese characters.
Zhao Chuanxin tilted his chin and looked at the scenery passing by outside the window, and said: "I'm thinking that Korean people live like pigs, but they don't get the happiness of pigs.
It's my fault.
I have the responsibility and obligation to help them raise the banner of resistance and resist Japanese tyranny."
Jin Wuzhi looked around guiltily, and when he saw that no one understood what they were saying, he whispered: "Mr. Zhao, don't discuss this matter here."
He is also Korean, doesn’t that mean he is also a member of the pig family?
"It's okay." Zhao Chuanxin said nonchalantly: "If the Japanese listen to me, I won't be afraid of them taking action."
Jin Wuzhi smiled bitterly: "But I'm afraid."
"It doesn't matter, I will take action when the time comes." Zhao Chuanxin vowed. "Even if I can't save you, I will collect your body for you."
It was just the last sentence that made Jin Wuzhi change his expression.
"..."
Being a translator is life-threatening.
Seeing the pleading look on Jin Wuzhi's face, Zhao Chuanxin laughed: "I'm just kidding, I'm scaring you. Let me ask you, if the Japanese want to sign the third Japan-Korea Agreement, will you become a Korean
You are so traitorous that you are willing to be a Japanese lackey?"
Jin Wuzhi looked serious: "I'm not that kind of person."
Such a coward, no matter how you look, he looks like that kind of person.
Zhao Chuanxin gave a thumbs up: "What a great ambition. Why don't you join our rebel army? When we come back to fight the Japanese, I will give you the opportunity to take the lead and sacrifice your life for the country."
After hearing this, Jin Wuzhi's face suddenly fell: "Mr. Zhao, I am a scholar. I only have a scholarly spirit and don't know how to fight. Mr. Zhao, aren't you worried that you can't defeat the Japanese?"
"When did I say that I must defeat the Japanese?"
"Well, you can't defeat the Japanese. Both the Qing court and Japan regard you as a thorn in their side, so what should you do?"
Jin Wuzhi has done his homework and knows what kind of person this customer is.
Ci Xi is a foreigner, so many people hate him.
Zhao Chuanxin still had a heartless expression: "What is there to worry about? If I accomplish nothing in the end, there are so many ditches and ditches outside the customs. I will take the dogs and horses alone, get a group of chickens and ducks, and find a place to live in seclusion. Whatever happens.
In a hundred years, when the time comes, I will carry a 2-tael burning knife to Ito Hirobumi’s grave, play the erhu and dance to the music.”
Awesome!
The picture is intoxicating just thinking about it.
Jin Wuzhi was convinced: "Mr. Zhao, in a hundred years, he will live a long life at the age of 120."
In fact, he knew that Zhao Chuanxin must be much older than twenty now, because Zhao Chuanxin rose to prominence a few years ago, and even if he is less than thirty now, he is still not far behind. Maybe he is older, but he just looks young.<
/p>
But he can talk, and he deliberately said that Zhao Chuanxin is very young.
But the implication is that most people will not live to be one hundred and twenty years old.
After all, the average life expectancy in the late Qing Dynasty was very low, and natural and man-made disasters were constant. Ordinary people could live to be sixty years old.
Zhao Chuanxin curled his lips: "How long does it take to live a long life at one hundred and two? That's just a base number. On that basis, I have to live for at least forty years to be able to live long enough. You can't control the life span of our mage community."
p>
Jin Wuzhi was stunned and remembered that Zhao Chuanxin also had the nickname of Archmage.
I’m really not sure about this.
It is said that Patriarch Chen Tuan is still alive today, but I don’t know where he is in the human world.
The two of them talked nonsense all the way to Liaodi.
Here, the two need to cross the Yalu River to reach South Korea.
Zhao Chuanxin looked at the Yalu River, which was nearly a thousand meters long, and the rolling and turbid water, and couldn't help but think of something.
Jin Wuzhi saw him stop and asked: "Mr. Zhao, what are you looking at?"
Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "It's nothing, today Zhao will also cross the Yalu River boldly and proudly!"
Yes, there are a group of lovely people behind him, and they are the same Jiang who lived with his faith and chest out.
Oh, life and death have long been ignored.
Japan had already decided to build a bridge here as early as 1905. However, it would take two years before construction could start.
Ignoring the protests of the Qing court, Japan acted like a rogue and forced construction in Sinuiju on the other side of the river, and then was forced to do so by various rogues and threats.
The Qing government, which was in turmoil, had no choice but to build the bridge and connect the two worlds.
Later, the bridge was bombed by the Americans.
This is the famous Broken Bridge on the Yalu River.
However, there is no bridge at this time, so the two of them have to cross the river by boat.
This is a small steamer.
After boarding the ship, a woman with a child discussed with Zhao Chuanxin and Jin Wuzhi: "You two, I have a child with me, can you let us sit in the front? This child is dishonest."
Jin Wuzhi was a little afraid of the water. The boat was small and wobbly, and his face turned pale.
Originally he was reluctant, and the boat became even more bumpy behind him.
But Zhao Chuanxin pulled him up and said, "No problem, you guys sit down, we'll go to the back."
Jin Wuzhi was pulled by Zhao Chuanxin and walked towards the back involuntarily.
He felt a little upset in his stomach and said: "Mr. Zhao, we bought the front ticket, why should we give it to them? I am a little seasick, and it is so bumpy that it is not safe to sit in the back."
Zhao Chuanxin looked at the turbulent river and said cheerfully: "I also have a name, called Hunjiang Dragon. Under water, the Dragon King will also give Zhao three points of thin noodles. Be good, don't be afraid."
Unexpectedly, Jin Wuzhi's face turned even paler: "Mr. Zhao, you must not talk nonsense. It is most taboo to say such things when sailing on the water."
"Haha."
This small riverboat is as slow as an old cow, swaying.
Because it is not far from the entrance to the sea, and the spring rains have continued in recent days, the water level has risen a lot, so the river flow is particularly turbulent.
It is also difficult for it to drive forward while resisting the rapid current.
This caused a lot of bumps on the steamer.
To be continued...
