After the Shimonoseki renewal contract was signed, a telegram from Yokosuka Port came to Li Ningyu. Looking at the contents of the lucrative contract in front of him, Li Ningyu was not happy at all, because although he indirectly changed history
While walking on the track, I once again felt a sense of humiliation, because there was 500 million taels of silver compensation from the Chinese. In 1894, 100 kilograms of grain in the Qing Dynasty only cost 2 taels of silver, and the average soldier in the Far East could only survive a month.
It’s only 60 taels of salary.
At this time, the population of the Qing Dynasty was only 100 million. In other words, after the signing of this treaty, everyone was burdened with a foreign debt of 250 kilograms of grain. The following night, Li Ningyu suffered from insomnia again. In fact, after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894,
He was confused because he didn't seem to know what to do next.
However, since the Far East controlled the Japanese emperor and major members of the royal family, Japan immediately collected 100 million taels of silver, and also borrowed money from Britain and Russia to give all the money to the Far East, and within a week,
All troops from Kyushu and Hokkaido and a large number of Japanese civilians were evacuated, and the Qing Dynasty also collected 500 million silver within a week and sent it to Yokosuka seaport.
Within the next month, various ministries in North Korea in the Far East began to mobilize, but they encountered a problem, which was the issue of Taiwan ceded from the Qing Dynasty.
Because after the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki, the news spread, and the entire province of Taiwan burst into tears and went on strike. At this time, Liu Yongfu, the general who assisted in Taiwan's military affairs, and other soldiers and civilians did not know that Taiwan was actually acquired by the Far East. Later, the Far East Army
After the landing, there was a large-scale resistance movement. After Li Ningyu learned about it, he ordered Zhang Dahu to rush to Taiwan from Somalia to persuade Liu Yongfu. Then Taiwan smoothly transitioned to the Far East camp. At the same time, Li Ningyu appointed Liu Yongfu as the commander-in-chief of the Taiwan Army in the Far East.
At this time, many people in Far East's senior management have questions, that is, why has Li Ningyu been staying in Hawaii recently?
Because he was waiting for someone, this was the second major decision he made after coming to the 19th century, because he knew that a reform leader would appear in Honolulu, Hawaii today, and his name was Sun Zhongshan.
The great forerunner of the modern revolutionary movement, today he will establish a bourgeois revolutionary group, the Xingzhonghui, in Honolulu, Hawaii. However, the appearance of Li Ningyu changed everything that was originally planned.
Because this time Li Ningyu came with soldiers, because as the prince of the Kingdom of Hawaii and his own fiefdom, Li Ningyu still has the absolute right to speak. In addition, Hawaii is no longer what it used to be, with many businessmen.
They all have weapons. Now, as long as they are in the Far East sphere of influence, only one system can have weapons, and the rest are all illegal.
However, the purpose of the Xingzhonghui is to expel the Tartars and restore China, so Li Ningyu will not make things difficult for them, because his greatest hope is to use it only for himself, because Xiang Liu Xiang, He Kuan, Yang Quyun, and Lu Haodong are all indispensable in this era.
With so many talents available, Li Ningyu approached him with a heart to learn.
In May 1894, Mr. Sun Zhongshan wrote to Li Hongzhang, advocating reform and self-improvement, but was met with a cold reception, so he went to Honolulu. The weather was beautiful and sunny on November 24, and the Hawaiian Islands were a lively and busy scene. At this time, he was leaning against the harbor.
A few yellow-skinned Chinese people walked into a gray three-story building not far away, and then the door was closed tightly. However, the news was reported to Li Ningyu by several plainclothes soldiers on the side.
Then Li Ningyu put on a brand new white Chinese tunic suit and rushed towards the small building with dozens of guards. About 20 minutes later, the door of the small building was knocked open. The door was opened by a strong man, but he had
One characteristic was that his hand was missing a few fingers. After seeing this person, Li Ningyu smiled and said nothing. He just motioned to the guard to inform him of his identity, and then Li Ningyu was invited into the house.
There were six men in the room at this time. After scanning around, Li Ningyu set his sights on a kind, generous, wise, upright and charming man, because he guessed that it must be Mr. Zhongshan, but Li Ningyu
Still giving it a try, he just walked slowly to the front seat and sat down, as if he didn't want to say anything first.
During a few minutes of silence, the five people in the small building exchanged many looks. Finally, it seemed that Mr. Zhongshan said: "I wonder what Prince Li is here for?".
"Haha! What I am here today does not represent any identity, so sir, you can call me Li Ningyu!"
After Li Ningyu's words came out, everyone had some differences, but the man who opened the door just now said sarcastically: "Huh! If you are not a prince, will we open the door for you? If you don't maintain your identity, use
Can we get so many soldiers?".
Hearing this, Li Ningyu waved directly to the soldiers without changing his expression, then looked at the strong man who opened the door and said, "Is this okay? Feihong!".
After finishing speaking, Li Ningyu still seemed to be sitting on top of the mountain, but as soon as Li Ningyu's words came out, everyone was shocked, like a stormy sea. But at this time, Li Ningyu continued to say in a deep voice: "Yang Quyun
, named Feihong, was born in Xiamen, Fujian. He was educated at St. Paul's College in Hong Kong. At the age of fourteen, he entered a shipyard to study mechanics. He lost three fingers on his right hand due to an industrial accident, so he changed to English and became a teacher after graduation. Later he became the general secretary of China Merchants Group and Sassoon.
Deputy manager of a foreign bank!".
"That's right! I am Yang Feihong. It seems that you are well prepared. Do you also know the identities of the rest of us?" As soon as the strong man saw Li Ningyu telling his situation, his cheeks turned red and he was angry and anxious.
said.
Then Li Ningyu turned to the only man with eyes and said: "Chen Shaobai, once studied at Lingnan University!".
Then Li Ningyu ignored everyone's surprised and horrified looks and continued: "Liu Xiang, a Hong Konger, the manager of Yonghetai Company! He Kuan, the Chinese manager of Beishe Bank! Lu Haodong, also known as Xianxiang, studied at the Shanghai Telegraph School and worked in Telegraph after graduation.
The bureau is appointed as a translator!".
"Hahaha! I didn't expect that all our backgrounds would be investigated, hahaha!" After Li Ningyu read out the information of the five people, Yang Feihong asked with a wild smile: "Then you must know that we went to Hawaii
What’s the purpose of coming?”.
"Yes! Establish a National Salvation Association!" Li Ningyu continued to answer.
At this moment, Yang Feihong pulled out the pistol in his arms and pointed it at Li Ningyu, but the people on the side seemed to have no intention of stopping him, and the scene suddenly became extremely tense...
