Although the vigorous demonstrations and protests were suppressed, in the next few days, the capital lost its former prosperity. The streets and alleys were deserted everywhere, with no pedestrians or passers-by. Even the stalls on the street suddenly disappeared.
All the time has disappeared. The businesses are closed, and if you want to find something to eat, you can only go out of the city to try your luck.
Ma Xingkong watched Wei Qingyuan bring back a group of Japanese with scars on their faces. No trace of Noda Kazuo was found. After asking for a long time, and with various coercion and inducements, someone finally spoke. It turned out that it was from the last attack on Noda Kazuo.
After that, I went back to Japan to recover from my injuries and to report some situations.
Ma Xingkong had a gloomy face. Wei Qingyuan asked: "How to deal with people like Brother Ma?"
"Just kill these bastards!" Long Jie said.
Wei Qingyuan swallowed: "Kill them all, but there are dozens of lives. If the government traces them, this..."
Hei Wa smiled and said: "Are you afraid? None of these guys are good people. They left Japan alone and came to China to act arrogantly. Okay! Then kill them all to see if they dare to come!"
Wei Qingyuan nodded: "Okay! I'll give it a go!"
Of course, the most severely damaged was the Japanese concession attacked by Ma Xingkong and others. All the shops and houses were smashed and burned. The Japanese legation was in a mess. Documents and items were everywhere. When Japanese Minister Yamada
Xianyi watched all this without saying a word. He returned to his office, put on a tuxedo, a top hat, white gloves, and a civilized stick. He grabbed a piece of paperwork he had already written and put it into his document bag.
When going downstairs, he said calmly: "Get the car ready, I'm going to see Yuan Shikai!"
A car without any signs was approaching Xinhua Gate at lightning speed. The soldiers and police cars maintaining public security immediately became nervous. There was a "crack-pap-pap-pap" sound, and all the bullets were fired. They stared at the car intently. The leader
The officer, with his palm deep in his hand, motioned for the car to stop.
"Squeak...!" There was an urgent sound of brakes, and the car stopped steadily at the door of Zhongnanhai. A man got out of the car, took out a small Japanese flag from his pocket and hung it on the iron bar in the front of the car. The policeman
and the soldiers were relieved. It turned out to be the car of the Japanese legation. After a brief inspection, several people lifted up the barbed wire fence. Yamada Kiki's car drove into Zhongnanhai.
Yuan Shikai's head is not that big. Starting from this morning, embassies from various countries have successively sent written representations of protest. The anger that was finally calmed down by Cui Jiu was ignited again. Cao Kun and Director Zhang stood beside Yuan Shikai
On the sidelines, Yuan Shikai watched these negotiations and asked: "Zhongshan, tell me! What should we do?"
Cao Kun said nothing. Yuan Shikai glanced at him, and Cao Kun quickly looked away. Yuan Shikai asked Director Zhang again: "Where is the person I want? Where is Ma Xingkong? And those students who made the most trouble yesterday, what's going on?
Didn’t catch any?”
"Your Majesty, calm down! Calm down! The minister is already intensifying the investigation, and any information will be reported immediately!" The cold sweat on Director Zhang's face flowed drop by drop onto Yuan Shikai's precious carpet.
Yuan Shikai was so angry with this guy that he had nothing to say. He pointed his finger at Director Zhang and gritted his teeth! Secretary Liu came in at the right time and saved Director Zhang's life.
"What's wrong?" Yuan Shikai asked angrily. All the bad news these days came from Secretary Liu. Every time Secretary Liu came in, Yuan Shikai would habitually think that Secretary Liu had done something bad.
Secretary Liu walked into Yuan Shikai and whispered a few words in his ear. Yuan Shikai's face instantly turned ugly: "Really? Where is it?"
"We've arrived at the door! Wear very formal clothes! Would you like to change your clothes too?" Secretary Liu asked.
Yuan Shikai smiled: "Let him in! Even if I change my clothes, can I calm the anger of the Japanese?"
The door opened, and Yamada Kenyoshi straightened his back and walked in. He bowed slightly to Yuan Shikai: "Dear Your Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, in view of the innocent attack by Chinese citizens on our concession and embassy of the Japanese Empire in our country yesterday, in accordance with the international
In accordance with common practice and international law, today, on behalf of the Empire of Japan, I submit to His Majesty a written note from His Majesty the Japanese, requesting that: 1. The murderer be caught within three days and handed over to the Empire of Japan; 2. Compensation of one million yuan for all economic losses; 3.
, agree that the Japanese Empire will increase its troops by 10,000 for the security of the concession and the legation!"
"You are crazy! Ten thousand people! This is half of our garrison in the capital! What do you want to do?" Cao Kun immediately asked after hearing this.
Yuan Shikai waved his hand to stop Cao Kun, and smiled and motioned for Yamada Kenyoshi to continue. Yamada Kenyoshi also smiled politely, nodded slightly, and continued: "Four, cede Dongshan Haiwei to fight for the long-term concession of the Japanese Empire for me; fifth, allow
Citizens of the Empire of Japan are not allowed to set up any prohibitions on investing in any industry in China; Sixth, the Empire of Japan is allowed to participate in the development of mines throughout the Empire of China, and the Empire of Japan has priority in the development of new mines; Seventh, Agree
The Empire of Japan built the Manchuria Railway and leased it for 50 years; 8. Appointed Yamada Kiki, a citizen of the Empire of Japan, to manage the Ministry of Finance of the Empire of China and improve the construction of the Ministry of Finance of the Empire of Japan; 9. Recognized the land currently owned by the Empire of Japan
For the territory of Great Japan; ten, timber, salt, iron, and mineral resources, our Empire of Japan has the right of first refusal!" After saying this, Yamada Kenyoshi closed his notebook and looked at Yuan Shikai.
Yuan Shikai listened quietly. Seeing that Yamada Xianyi stopped talking, he asked: "Is it over?"
"We'll discuss the rest of the terms later!" Yamada Kenyoshi said.
Yuan Shikai smiled: "In this note from the minister, why didn't I hear that the Chinese Empire has anything that can be obtained from Japan?"
Cao Kun said: "That's right! How about letting us garrison your place in Kyoto?"
"Hmph!" Yamada Kiki snorted coldly: "The territory of our Empire of Japan cannot be invaded by other countries!"
Yuan Shikai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Minister, let's do this! How about we consider your conditions first?"
"Ten days! You only have ten days. If you don't agree within ten days, we will unilaterally implement this note, and you will be responsible for all the consequences!" Yamada Kiki threw the note on the table, turned around and walked out of the house.
Rentang.
As soon as Yamada Xianyi left, Cao Kun said angrily: "Your Majesty, these Japanese are clearly going to eat us! They want to garrison troops, develop minerals, build roads, and cede land. Who do they think we are?"
Qianqing?"
"Calm down, don't be impatient! Calm down, don't be impatient!" Yuan Shikai waved his hand for Cao Kun to sit down: "That's what the Japanese are like. They can mess with everyone just because they are so powerful. Just wait, sooner or later they will cry!"
Cao Kun rolled his eyes: "Your Majesty, why don't you find someone to give this Yamada Xianyi..." Cao Kun made a killing gesture and looked at Yuan Shikai: "This note was sent so quickly. Japan may not know about it. As long as
Let’s kill Yamada before he informs Japan about this! Then we don’t have to admit this piece of shit!”
