Chapter 134: Fool

Almost at the same time, Empress Dowager Longyu, Zaifeng, Zaitao and others also received news that Japan had landed in Tianjin and Dongying at the same time. The landing in Tianjin was allowed by Empress Dowager Longyu, but he did not notify the Beiyang defenders in Tianjin. Longyu and others knew nothing about the landing in Dongying.

"Selling newspapers and newspapers, the Japanese were in Tianjin, and Shandong suddenly landed on our country. The 12th Division of the Japanese Marine Corps and the 8th Division landed in Tianjin and Shandong respectively..."

"What is the intention of Japanese wolf ambitions to invade our country's territory?"

"Yuan Shikai colluded with the Japanese and led the wolf into the house..."

"Is it the Qing emperor who colluded with the Japanese, or Yuan Shikai? Exposing the ugly faces of these traitors..."

Early the next morning, major newspapers began to be lively. From south to north, the streets and alleys were boiling. The originally chaotic domestic situation added variables. The Zhenguo Army's plan to attack Beijing, which was originally highly anticipated by the Chinese people, will be severely hit. Everyone ran around to tell each other. Everyone's hearts were hanging at this moment, and a trembling cry deep in their hearts: The wolf is coming.

Soon Yuan Shikai and Longyu investigated the truth clearly. The Japanese tricked them all. They actually stepped on two boats and reached a secret agreement with Longyu and Yuan Shikai. One hand inserted into Yuan Shikai's purse, the other hand inserted into Longyu's pocket, and entered China with a swagger on both sides.

Yuan Shikai was shocked and cursed the Japanese for being cunning and treacherous. He even colluded with Longyu without saying hello in advance. The Japanese said that we are not much better than each other.

Empress Dowager Longyu was even more shocked and denounced the Japanese government for not keeping credibility. While helping himself, he secretly helped Yuan Shikai. The Japanese said again, we have decided to make this villain. If it weren't for us villains, you would have waited to be gnawed over by Yuan Shikai. You should also thank us Japanese for being.

One day afterwards, the capital was in chaos, and the Beiyang Army and the Imperial Guards exchanged fire. Both sides hated the other side to collude with the Japanese to deal with them, and did not feel that they were shameless at all. The two sides had several small-scale firefights in the south of Beijing, but each had their own victories and losses, and there was no major confrontation.

After two days and three nights of forced marching, the Japanese's iron hooves stepped into the hinterland of China and the suburbs of Beijing. The Japanese's special representatives then entered the Forbidden City and came to Longyu's front.

The person who came was Honda Jifu, the spy leader sent by the Japanese Army to China. This person had already sneaked into Beijing and was waiting for Noda Kazuichi's army to enter the capital, and then launched a political activity that had been planned for a long time.

With Honda Jifu, he was accompanied by Major General Yamamotojiro Yamamoto, the 12th Division landed in Tianjin, Japan. The two were sent by Ryuyu to access the Forbidden City. The grand reception ceremony originally prepared for the Japanese was also cancelled due to the behavior of both ends of the Japanese head rat. Ryuyu only sent an ordinary carriage to pick up Honda Jifujiro Yamamotojiro into the Forbidden City. The feast prepared for them was changed to a common meal. The two lost the grand reception ceremony and delicious food, and did not feel lost at all. The things they obtained were much more important than these vanity.

"Lieutenant General of the Imperial Japanese Army, Honda, met with His Excellency Takayuta, the Qing Dynasty. On behalf of His Excellency the Japanese Emperor, I would like to express my cordial condolences and high respect for your Empress Dowager Puyi." Honda's Lieutenant bowed and saluted Empress Dowager Longyu, saying something different from his heart.

At this time, foreigners did not have to kneel down when they saw the Qing emperor. He just bowed slightly. This was considered to be a despise of the monarch of the Celestial Empire when the British came to pay homage to the Qing emperor. At that time, because the British envoys did not kneel down to worship the emperor, the guns and cannons they gave to the Qing Dynasty were piled up in the palace toilets by the nobles of the Qing Dynasty to show their dissatisfaction with the British.

But at that time, the Qing Dynasty was pure and arrogant. In their eyes, the British were just a barbaric country. The British guns and cannons were also some uncreative things. Compared with the vast land and wealth of the Celestial Empire, it was a drop in the bucket. At that time, the Qing court ignored these guns and cannons, disdained them, and did not study and imitate them. It can be seen that the Qing rulers were extremely ignorant.

Guns and cannons had already achieved great development in the Ming Dynasty. After the Manchus entered the pass, they were strictly prohibited from continuing to develop guns and cannons, which was regarded as evil things, which led to the serious stagnation of the development of Chinese military technology for hundreds of years. It can be seen that their short-sightedness was extremely serious and they did not realize that guns and cannons would play a huge role in future foreign wars. This seems that the fundamental reason was that Manchus had lived outside the pass for a long time and lived in nomadic life. His thoughts and culture were extremely conservative and backward, which led to the modern Chinese under his rule being backward and beaten. Compared with the Meiji Emperor of Japan and the visionary ministers, the superiority and inferiority were immediately revealed.

"Major General Yamamotojiro Yamamotoji has met the Lord of Queen Mother Longyu." Yamamotojiro faced Empress Dowager Longyu with a sense of coldness and arrogance, and reluctantly bowed, saying that he looked down on the emperor and royal relatives of the Qing Dynasty at all.

Puyi was not present at this time, so he didn't have to attend such occasions. But Yi Li and Zaifeng were sitting beside him. After they greeted two Japanese officers one by one, Honda's husband and wife were also given seats by Longyu and sat on the wooden chair on the right. This was the East Warm Pavilion Hall of Hearts, which was where Longyu often met ministers and the office often where the former Qing Dynasty Empress Dowager Cixi was.

"Does the Japanese government need to explain your behavior? According to the agreement reached between our country and your country, your army is only allowed to land at Tanggukou, Tianjin. What is the matter with the Marine Corps you landed in Dongying, Shandong? Do you still take me, the Emperor of Qing, seriously?" Zaifeng was the first to come out and questioned Honda with annoyed face and said, "He had met with Honda many times through the Japanese minister's recommendation. The previous agreement was signed by the two. He was very polite to Honda at the beginning, but at this time he was very disrespectful.

"Sir Zaifeng, you don't know that Japan's action this time was a helpless move, because Japan is also in a very difficult situation." Honda's gangster sighed unexpectedly, shook his head, and said with an innocent expression that had been wronged.

"Tell me, what's the difficulty of you Japanese?" Zaifeng continued to ask with a gloomy face, thinking to himself, let's see how you little Japanese make a judgment.

"When our country received Yuan Shikai's request to send troops and responded to the news about the empress dowager and the emperor, we were shocked. The emperor of our country has always admired the empress dowager and the emperor. After he learned that Yuan Shikai wanted to overthrow Emperor Puyi, he was furious and angrily accused Yuan Shikai of being a wolfish ambition, shameless and ungrateful. He actually tried to subvert the Qing regime, which was really unforgivable." Honda's clever eyes flashed in his eyes and continued to argue. Yamamotojiro, who was standing beside him, still sat proudly and did not look at Zaifeng directly.

"Since that's the case, why does your country's emperor still send troops to Shandong to help Yuan Shikai?" Zaifeng was a little moved when he heard Honda say this, and then asked impatiently.

When Longyu and Yi Li heard this, they didn't know whether the Japanese were sincere or false. They just waited for Honda's picker to continue talking and then make a judgment. Both of them looked ugly and didn't speak for a while.

"Yuan Shikai's intention was to use the kindness and enthusiasm of my Emperor to help him deal with the Zhenguo Army who continued to go north. Secondly, to assist him in overthrowing Emperor Puyi so that he could ascend to the throne. Because Yuan Shikai's behavior was so rebellious that he attempted to usurp the Qing regime, our Emperor decided to take the plan and temporarily agree to Yuan Shikai's request to send troops to Shandong. Firstly, our imperial army could prevent the Zhenguo Army from going north on the battlefield in Shandong to protect the safety of the Qing emperor. Secondly, we could also put a knife on Yuan Shikai's backbone to threaten him so that he would not dare to move. In this way, I

This imperial army can play a dual role in curbing the reign of the Kuomintang army and Yuan Shikai, so that the throne of the Qing emperor can be stable, and the Qing Dynasty will never fall for a long time. I am the sincere and sincere Lord of the Emperor. I also hope that Empress Dowager Longyu can experience it in person. Don’t be misunderstood by villains and misunderstood our country’s good wishes. Please take a look at the queen mother. Honda’s clerk brought out the lines that he had prepared in his heart. He will continue to fool in China. After fooling Yuan Shikai, he will fool Empress Dowager Longyu here. What he said seems reasonable and has no flaws.

"Oh, Emperor Meiji really thinks so?" After hearing what Honda Kou-homage said, Empress Dowager Takayu seemed to feel that what he said was reasonable. She immediately opened her eyebrows and asked with some relief.

"Of course, my Emperor's heart is full of heart. The heaven and earth can be seen, and the sun and the moon can be seen. The Japanese Empire and the Qing Empire are all brothers and good neighbors. The Qing Empire is in trouble. How can I stand by and watch? The Emperor's spirit has formulated some specific policies to help Emperor Puyi deal with Yuan Shikai and the Southern Party. I asked me to submit it to the Empress Dowager. Please check it out. I believe that with the kind support of my empress dowager, the Qing Empire will definitely resolve the most serious disaster in history." Honda continued to be shamelessly slander, but his face did not change his face and his heart was not beating, which shows how insidious his intentions were.

"If it is true that the Emperor of Your Kingdom really thinks like this, then the Ai family is really very pleased. Could it be that the Ai family mistakenly blamed the Emperor of Your Kingdom for his kindness?" Empress Dowager Lungyu began to change her mind by Honda's fooling him, but she was not sure that Honda's words were sincere and said with questions.

"If the Empress Dowager doesn't believe what I said below, you can observe the future trends of our imperial army. Our imperial army will never enter the Forbidden City. As long as we curb Yuan Shikai's army in the suburbs, we can keep the palace safe. If our imperial army invades the Qing palace, I will be punished by heaven and die of five thunders." Honda's gangster continued to pretend to be an innocent victim and defend himself...
