The incident of the Da Shang killing 38 Japanese spies to worship the martyrs' cemetery was immediately reported by many newspapers such as Shen Bao. The next day, Wang Yi wrote an article in Shen Bao, a letter to compatriots across the country, which detailed the whole story of Japan's invasion of Ryukyu, invasion of Taiwan, and the Ganghua Island incident in Korea, and explained Japan's modern reforms and many internal contradictions one by one. Wang Yi pointed out in the final comment that in order to ease the sharp domestic contradictions, Japan must choose the path of foreign invasion. And its primary goal is the first vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, and then the entire Qing Dynasty, and its ambition is clear. I hope that compatriots across the country will unite to resist Japanese goods and expel Japanese people. Don't raise tigers for trouble...

Li Hongzhang is working in the Governor's Office in Zhili. Last year, he was also in a state of trouble. The drought and locust plagues in Zhili continued to ease, and it was not until the end of this year that it was initially alleviated.

Zhou Fu hurried in with a newspaper at this time.

"What happened in Wushan? Why are you so panicked?"

"Sir, Fengtian's Dashang Group learned the news that Japan invaded Ryukyu."

"What!" Li Hongzhang stood up. "Has he confirmed it at this time?"

"Confirmation..." Zhou Fu replied: "But... there is another thing. The day before yesterday, the big merchant sent Japan to Fengtian to steal its internal technical secrets, and all of them were beheaded. He also said... All Japanese people in Fengtian must leave the country within three days, otherwise the consequences will be borne by themselves. The Japanese ambassador to China has protested to us on this matter and demanded severe punishment for the murderers of Japanese civilians, otherwise they will not hesitate to fight."

Li Hongzhang now has an impression of Wang Yi, and also of Da Shang. After thinking about it, he said, "What should Wushan do if this matter is handled?"

Zhou Fu did not say anything, but put a copy of the "Shen" in front of Li Hongzhang and said, "There is a "Letter to Compatriots in the Country" written by Wang Yi. How about reading it first and then making a decision?"

Li Hongzhang nodded.

While the two were talking, Tang Tingshu hurriedly walked in from outside.

"Jianshi, you are..." Li Hongzhang and Zhou Fu wondered.

"The official has met the master, and the official is here to present a book..."

Tang Tingshu is now busy with the Kaiping Mining Bureau. Everything is progressing well at present. The main reason is the technical and financial support of Dashang. Judging from the current situation, several coal mines in Kaiping can be put into production this year, with an estimated output of around 10,000 tons. From next year, coal output will steadily increase significantly, with an estimated reaching around 40,000 tons. The steel plant under construction is also progressing smoothly. If there is no accident, it can be opened at the end of the year.

Tang Tingshu arrived in Tianjin today, for the dispute between Da Shang and Japan. In fact, he didn't care much about this matter, but it would be a different matter to do this matter. Tang Tingshu didn't want any changes now, otherwise, once Da Shang evacuated his people, all the work he had in his hands would be completely abandoned.

"Compilation of the Rise of Great Powers", Tang Tingshu presented the book and explained: "Sir, I am ashamed to say that this book was taken by the Xiaguan in Yingkou Wanguo Hotel without any questions..."

If you don’t ask for it, you are actually stealing. For this matter, Fatty She, the owner of Wanguo Hotel, has often asked Wang Yi to argue, and then scolded the streets. Who are you introducing? Tang Tingshu and Xu Run who came for the first time stealing books, and Hu Xueyan and Lai Chang who came for the second time are not clean. It’s fine. Even if you say borrowing, we will recognize it. Good guy, you will get three books each and five books each. You can’t tell me if you take it like this!

Wang Yi was also angry, and later he scolded these people with Fatty She.

Tang Tingshu had only two books, but he came back to see Xu Run's box containing five books, and he felt quite regretful. "I am so kind..."

When Li Hongzhang and Zhou Fu heard Tang Tingshu stealing a book, they also looked at each other and smiled. In their opinion, this was an elegant thing.

"Compilation of the Rise of Great Powers" is what Wang Yichu talked about when he came to the Zhang family. Now it has been compiled and painted together, and its purpose is only one, pointing its target at Japan and Tsarist Russia.

Today is the fourth day after Qingming Festival. In the eyes of the people watching the excitement, in Yingkou, Haicheng, Dashiqiao, Panjin and nearby towns, teams of insurance team members arrested Japanese merchants and expatriates from the bed, and then forced them to repatriate without saying a word. Those who dared to resist were beaten to the point of bleeding. Some Japanese ronin didn't scream and played samurai swords with the insurance team members. Wang Yi did not kill these people. After the arrest, they directly sent them to the Medical College and the newly established Pharmacy Academy in February this year, which was probably the so-called experimental materials. As for the Japanese family property, after the sale, the second one was added to the official offices in various places, and the other half was secretly handed over by Wang Yi.

Because Japan did not have a consulate in Yingkou, the Japanese had to ask British Minister Witoma to intervene in the matter.

However, beyond the Japanese's expectations, the British actually refused. On the one hand, it was also because Japan's sudden annexation of Ryukyu, which made the British a little dissatisfied. But the more important reason was that the British were unwilling to offend Wang Yi because of this.

The Qing government did not know Wang Yi's reputation in the international scientific community, but Weituoma knew it very well. Last year, one-third of the scientific community's achievements were published by Dashang Industrial Laboratory, and their heavyweight research results accounted for more than 80% of the world. Although the establishment time was short and only more than three years ago, the achievements made by Dashang Industrial Laboratory can be described as glorious. They are well-deserved leaders in the scientific community and the top scientific research holy place in the minds of scientists around the world.

As the godfather of the industrial laboratory, Wang Yi is a master of science. Although Weituma has never met Wang Yi, he has met Wang Yi's British partner, Charlie Fama. This person was originally one of the heads of Qichang Foreign Company, but he is all outdated. He is now one of the two major shareholders of the European Telephone and Telegraph Company, and he also controls the entire British Empire's phonograph industry and the radio broadcast industry that is about to begin. This is only his open property. As for those in secret, Weituma even suspects that Charlie himself may not be able to calculate it.

Charles Fama is now a guest of honor for Her Majesty. He has a great reputation in charity and it is only a matter of time before he is awarded a title.

The most important reason why Witoma knew Charlie Fama was that the Royal Academy of Sciences wanted to establish a connection with the Dashang Industrial Laboratory and would seek cooperation if it might be possible. However, because of Britain's opium trade policy towards the Qing Dynasty, Dashang flatly rejected the matter.

However, no one expected that this inappropriate rejection caused a stir in the UK. Some famous British scientists even publicly stood up and demanded that the government change its policy to China and stop the dirty opium trade. Although the matter was a big deal, the proposal to end the opium trade was not approved because of the obstruction of the opium trade by the opium merchants in the interests of the upper and lower houses. The Da Shang later thanked the British scientists who stood out to prevent the opium trade and sent them invitations, hoping that they could come to the industrial laboratory to give lectures at a convenient time. However, in the eyes of ordinary British people, this matter was more like a slap in the face. The barbaric and uncivilized Orientals seemed polite, while the civilized British were doing the shameful opium trade.

When Japan saw that the British were not able to walk, it came to ask the Americans, but the representative of the American consul in Yingkou was Naide, a partner of the Da Shang. Even though the American Minister Xihua agreed to reconcile in the center, Naide ignored it at all. He just read the Western Minister Xihua hoped to stop the Da Shang from discriminating against Japan, and had not even finished reading it, and then threw away the official documents and went to Wang Yi to drink coffee.

Japan is more embarrassed now because there is no real ambassador to China. The one who stayed in the Qing Dynasty to handle China affairs was an acting minister named Zheng Yongning. Although this person was a Japanese, he was a descendant of the Ming Dynasty and was originally from Fujian. Although Japan did not suspect that he was rebellious, it was obviously unrealistic to ask such a person to deal with all the current problems. However, the new ambassador to China, Nahu Ji (what the fucking strange name) is still in Japan, and Japan has no one in the Qing Dynasty.

Wang Yi looked at the report submitted by Wu Xiao, and also the news that Li Yuzhen received from the Japanese branch of Dashang Silver Lu. The Japanese branch of Dashang Silver Lu is called Anji Foreign Company, and most of them are foreigners. The only few Chinese people are not yet showing up in front of others.

Large-scale demonstrations have occurred in Japan, and many original gentry spoke out, demanding that the government go on an expedition to Fengtian, Qing Dynasty, to avenge the dead Japanese.

When Wang Yi saw these reports, he just smiled. Come on, if he doesn’t come, he will be his grandson!

To be honest, Japan is now a fox with a fox in the power of a tiger. Not to mention that Wang Yi of the Army doesn't care, it's their navy... The Japanese Navy in 1879 took the offshore defense route, because the Satsuma family was defeated in the Southwest War, and the navy was temporarily suppressed. Therefore, Japan implemented defensive national defense, with the main land and the second sea. Only those broken ships, the east ship, that is, the wooden ship was equipped with an iron shell! The Fuji Mountain ship... There was no iron shell...

What is better is the USS Fusang warship or the legendary central batteryironclad. Four 240mm Krupp bubbles are installed in the armored gun room in the middle of the ship, one 170mm gun at the bow and aft, and another 6 12-pound guns. The standard displacement is 3,717 tons, and there are 105-229mm thick armor belts in the waterline. The USS Fusang is a sail steam hybrid with a speed of 13 knots.

It’s not that Wang Yi looked down on him, but that he hadn’t had too many problems with the gentleman in his hand and he wouldn’t dare to travel far away. Not to mention that the Japanese came to him, he wanted to come to him!

Naide was standing next to Wang Yi with a coffee cup at this time. This was by the window of the office of the primary school affiliated to Dashang. The scenery was pretty good, at least very open.

"I heard that there is a former president in your country who is coming to visit Zhili?"

"Yes!" Naide shrugged.

"I don't know how much money I charged?" Wang Yi said ignorantly.

The two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
Chapter completed!
