There is no official in Tianjin who is willing to get involved in this mess. Yi? He hopes that Yu Yuanqi will solve it. Yi Zhizu is not surprised at all. He has no intention of stubbornly watching the fun. He could have killed this matter in the bud, but he deliberately indulged it, so he naturally had plans.

Without thinking too much, he ordered: "Call back, please send Assistant Minister Wu Changqing to Tianjin to negotiate with full power."

After hearing this, Zhao Liewen was surprised and hurriedly said, "Big shopkeeper, this is a hot potato..."

"It's okay." Yi Zhizu said without caring: "Just handle it impartially." After a pause, he continued: "Leave a letter to Changqing and urge local officials in Tianjin to arrest the perpetrators, murderers, arsoners, and robbers. Do not give up any slight conscience. Strictly investigate whether there are any gangs involved, and then uproot all gangs in Tianjin.

We thoroughly investigate the causes of frequent deaths of infants and young children opened by Western churches and adopted infants and young children, and collect illegal acts of Western missionaries in Tianjin.

Although he negotiated with Western countries, his attitude was tough and he severely criticized the illegal acts of the church. The French Consul Feng Daye led his troops to attack local government offices without authorization, fired a fire and provoked trouble, and provoked trouble. France must bear the main responsibility for this case and ordered France to compensate the losses of various countries.

For Britain, Russia, the United States and other countries that have suffered unanticipated disasters, we will make good appeasements and discuss compensation matters.

Using this matter as an excuse, we will restrict the right of churches in Western countries to preach at trading ports, and restrict or even ban the various rights of the concessions in various countries that undermine our sovereignty of the Qing Dynasty!

Tell him clearly not to be afraid that Western countries will threaten war. Yuanqi has long been prepared to deal with the war, which can stimulate Britain and France to provoke war, and it is better!"

While writing a shorthand, Zhao Liewen was secretly surprised that this was not simply a fifty-foot board, but a chance to rectify and regulate the church and concession, and at the same time, it was also a matter of finding excuses for Yuanqi's military use in the northwest. It was obvious that this was to establish prestige for Wu Changqing.

Zhao Liewen stopped writing, Yi Zhizu continued: "Give me a call to the Beiyang Navy Admiral Ronglu, and ask the Beiyang Navy to fully assist Wu Changqing."

"I ordered all trade ports to strictly investigate all illegal acts of churches and missionaries, especially nurseries, and count the number of infants and young children adopted in each nursery and the number of deaths."

After the riots in Tianjin, it was silent. All the shops of all sizes, big and small outside the city were closed, and there were no traces of small stalls and vendors. The piers that have always been noisy and bustling became extremely deserted. The streets and alleys were filled with Beiyang navy officers and soldiers with live ammunition, and the atmosphere was dull and depressing.

The passion subsided and the people of Tianjin were all aware that they had caused a big disaster. They were all afraid and were in panic all day long. They were afraid of foreigners' revenge and the government's arrest and repayment. Various rumors were circulating in secret, and the entire Tianjin city was shocked several times in a day.

Officials at all levels in Tianjin were also uneasy. They naturally could not refuse the blame for such a large foreign-related case. They were all thinking about how to deal with the questioning from the court.

The consuls and foreign merchants from various countries in Zizhu Forest were also frightened. They closed their doors and windows. Foreigners, whether they were priests or women and children, hid on foreign merchant ships on the Haihe River, ready to set sail at any time. No one knew how the situation would develop.

In the Beiyang Navy Office, in the signing room, Ronglu put down the telegram in his hand, pondered for a while, and shouted to the outside world: "Come here, order all departments to patrol day and night, and do not slack off. All water and land passages are blocked. We will closely monitor the water and fire meetings and the big and small halls!"

The next morning, Wu Changqing, the imperial envoy who was fully responsible for handling the Tianjin lesson plan, hurried to Tianjin and went directly to the Sankou Trade Office at Sanchakou. All civil and military officials from Tianjin were waiting outside the yamen. Most officials did not know about this newly promoted cabinet minister, but no one dared to neglect the slightest. Even the governor of Zhili was respectful. One reason was that the chaos in Tianjin was big enough and everyone was in danger. Moreover, everyone knew that this was the most trusted official of Yixiu.

Wu Changqing is a typical Yuanqi official style. He acted neatly and just gave a few greetings with Guan Wen. After Guan Wen expressed his sincere support for his work, he served tea to see him off. Then he called in to the Beiyang Navy Admiral Rong Lu, the Sankou Trade Minister Chonghou, the Tianjin Prefect Zhang Guangzao, and the Tianjin Prefect Liu Jie.

He was very clear that the current situation in Tianjin must be cut off the mess quickly, and the longer the time delayed, the more trouble it would be. Moreover, he was very clear that Yuan Qi would send troops to the northwest this year and must close the case before sending troops.

After Ronglu, Chonghou and others came in to see the ceremony, Wu Changqing glanced at Ronglu and said, "The Beiyang Navy officers and soldiers entered the city in time to prevent the situation from deteriorating further. This is an important contribution. This imperial envoy will truthfully submit a request for the navy officers and soldiers."

"Sir Xie Qinzhang." Ronglu said simply: "The Beiyang Navy is all over the country and listen to the orders of the Lord."

"Very good!" Wu Changqing said: "Save the imperial envoy from Shanghai and Xuzhou to dispatch troops."

This sentence was murderous. Chonghou, and Zhang Guangzao felt nervous. Seeing Chonghou, he didn't say anything. Zhang Guangzao had to bite the bullet and said, "Reported to the imperial envoy, Tianjin has suffered many disasters in the city for many years, and people's hearts are floating. If you are not careful, it may cause civil unrest again..."

Seeing him speak, Chonghou quickly followed and agreed, "Sir, the people of Tianjin and foreigners are now frightened birds. The officials secretly think that comforting is the best."

"Please?" Wu Changqing glanced at the two of them and said coldly: "The five places in Tianjin are mixed, and the folk customs are strong and singular, which are easy to cause trouble. They are all caused by the local governments for many years. Now that this disaster has caused, they still need to be pacified?" After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "Did the riots intervene yesterday?"

This is to forcefully arrest the perpetrator! Zhang Guangzao's legs were trembling. He knew very well that the current situation in Tianjin. Once the perpetrator was forcibly arrested, it would inevitably arouse greater civil unrest. "Sir, think twice..." He felt that his voice was a little dry. "Can you arrest the leader of the society first...... First issue a notice to stabilize the people's hearts... and then convene the leader of the party and local gentry to control the leader and then eradicate the party."

Wu Changqing was actually worried about arousing a large-scale civil unrest. Although he wanted to use thunder to arrest all the perpetrators as soon as possible, he did not want a large-scale bloodshed. He deliberately pondered for a while before he spoke: "Give you a day! This is your chance to lose your merits!"

"Sir Xie Qinzhang was kind to him." Zhang Guangzao breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Changqing turned his attention to Chonghou, "Can the aftermath be handled?"

"Sir," Chonghou said hurriedly: "All the deceased have been restrained with coffins, and personnel have been sent to investigate the scene. All Western churches, consulates, foreign businesses, etc. have sent troops to garrison. Consulates in various countries in Zizhulin also sent people to condolence and comfort last night."

"No need to send people to comfort me." Wu Changqing said slowly, "Let them go for a few days first!" As he said that, he glanced at the magistrate Liu Jie, "You have lost all the face of the Qing Dynasty. Don't say that this imperial envoy will not give you a chance. The illegal behavior of the church, missionaries and nursery churches must be ironclad, otherwise no one can protect you!"

Chonghou and others felt trembling in their hearts and hurriedly said in unison: "Secretary and wait for the order."

Shanghai, Zhennan Wangfu, Changle Bookstore.

"The great shopkeeper, compared with Protestantism, Catholics believe more in the effectiveness of 'baptism', and therefore care more about the amount of 'baptism'..." Seeing Yi Jingzuo frowned, Ren An quickly submitted the compiled information, "This is the information obtained from the Catholic priest."

Yi Zhizu has never quite understood why Western churches and missionaries are so keen on opening nurseries and like to accommodate infants and young children. In comparison, Yuanqi prefers to accommodate older ones, not because he cares about the higher cost of adopting infants and young children. For Yuanqi, he doesn't care about that little cost at all, but because the growth of infants and young children takes longer.

It would be fine if he didn't pay attention to this before, but after paying attention to this, his curiosity was also aroused. Why do Western churches and missionaries have such a special liking for infants and young children? He guessed that Wu Changqing could find out the truth about the incident in Tianjin, so he simply asked Ren An to investigate, not wanting Ren An to be astonishingly efficient.

After taking the information and reading it carefully, the easily contented face is so gloomy that it can drip out of water. Baptism is to baptize missionaries to believers who have believed in the Lord, baptism, dripping rituals, etc. Its meaning is that God forgives your sins, everything is new, and there is a new life in Christ.

Catholic missionaries believe that the believers who were baptized by them would enter heaven after death, and the believers who entered heaven would inevitably pray for those who brought him infinite happiness. Of course, the more such prayers from heaven, the greater their results!

The reason why they are keen on baptizing infants and young children, especially abandoned infants and young children who are about to die, is that after baptizing, those infants and young children will soon bid for others, ascend to heaven, and then pray for them.

After adults take refuge in religion, they may give up or change halfway, and too many people cannot maintain their loyalty to the grace they receive.

When it was discovered that it was difficult for Chinese people to end their attitude towards religion, missionaries were even more keen on baptizing infants and young children!

Seeing Yi Shizu's face looked bad, Ren An hesitated and said: "According to the confession of the priest, there is also a Holy Infant Association in France, which specializes in funding missionaries in China to pay for the baby's death. It provides Tianjin with 200,000 francs every year, and Shanghai also with 120,000 francs. Guangzhou, Xiamen, and Ningbo, but the amount is smaller."

Yi Zhizu was speechless for a while. He really didn't expect that he would be so cruel! What kind of charity and kindness are nonsense?

No wonder the nanny hall encourages people to send abandoned babies to the nanny hall in the form of rewards. No wonder the infants and young children in the nanny hall die frequently. It turns out that there is funding! It turns out that the death of infants and young children is not expected at all, and even deliberately hopes that the infants and young children will die!

No wonder those missionaries flocked to each other. This was because they were attracted by China's huge abandoned infant market and China's large number of infants and young children died every year!

After lit a cigarette, Yi Zhizu took a deep breath to calm his anger. Ren An glanced at him and hesitated before saying, "The missionaries firmly believe that the souls of all baptized babies will be saved and will go to heaven after death. This is also a kind of good deed..."

"It's better not to do such good deeds." Yi Zhizu gritted his teeth and said: "As soon as possible, they will find out the situation of the nursery in various trading ports, and report them together with these information to reveal the real purpose of missionaries in opening the nursery!"

Ren An went out, Zhao Liewen and Yi Zhengxing stepped into the room, and saw Yi Zhizu's face look a little ugly, Zhao Liewen said with concern: "What's wrong with another thing?"

"Hui Fu came just right, check out these information." Yi Zhizu pointed to the information on the table, "Send one to Wu Changqing immediately, and then write an article..."

After reading the information, Zhao Liewen was also shocked and could not speak for a long time. However, Yi Zhengxing said angrily: "We must resolutely ban the nursery school opened by Western churches!"

"It's to be banned!" Yi Zhizu nodded, "We can't let them accumulate the amount of washing for themselves in the robes of charity and love. I don't know how many infants and young children die in the nursery every year...!"

Tianjin, the imperial envoy.

Wu Changqing looked at the case file sent with a pale face. The consequences of the riots in just three hours were shocking. In addition to the French and three Russians, there were two Belgians, one Italian and one Irish. In addition to the church and the church of Mercy, those who were burned, there were six foreign companies.

Moreover, the nuns who were beaten to death were stripped naked, their bodies were torn, their eyes were dug out, and the two priests were cut off by stomach section...

"Come here." Wu Changqing ordered to the outside world: "Cross a copy of the files and send them to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion." He felt that it was necessary to let Yi Zhizu look at these files.

When he stood up, he immediately ordered: "Prepare a sedan chair--." He originally planned to leave the consuls of various countries for a few days, but now it seems that he must comfort him. He did not expect that there would be Belgians, Italians, and Irish people who died in this riot and could not unite them.

Before he could go out, a follower quickly walked into the room and reported: "Sir - the urgent document sent by Shanghai."

He took out the cowhide envelope and looked through the information carefully. A smile appeared on his face. With this information, he could take the initiative. However, this information is not suitable for being thrown out now. He is also preparing to try to anger Britain and France.

"Sir, the sedan chair is ready."

"No need." Wu Changqing waved his hand. With this information, there was no need to appease them anymore. He was not worried even if the countries united to protest and put pressure on him.
