●"President, I am not Yuan Shikai!" Chiang Kai-shek was frightened by the president's words●
"If you want to do it, why not do it? Be the Yuan Shikai of the Joseon era!" Wang Hengyue's voice was full of encouragement: "The Yuan Shikai of the Joseon era was persevering, decisive, brave, and would do anything for China's interests in Korea. Such a person is
What we lack most.//**//I am not being ironic, but I am saying it very seriously. Our country does not lack outstanding talents, but it lacks people like Yuan Shikai to station the government in places like North Korea.
.”
Chiang Kai-shek no longer argued, but nodded silently.
The president indeed said these words very seriously. "I want to be the Yuan Shikai of the Korean period." This is a pun.
Chiang Kai-shek quickly understood the meaning of Wang Hengyue's words, and he also knew what he should do.
¨
Lee and the Lee brothers released a list of court traitors, and then met with the court traitors headed by Lee Wanyong in the palace, and accepted their letters of advice to restore the throne. This series of actions made the leaders of the "Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea"
Somewhat caught off guard.
These leaders were busy fighting for power in North Korea, and no one paid attention to the declining King Li family. But what they didn't expect was that it was this declining family that had done so many things without any precautions.
move.
Rhee Seungman, Lee Donghui, and Jin Jiu quickly focused their attention on Brother Lee.
In fact, how to deal with Li is still a headache.
After all, the Lee family had served as kings of North Korea for a long time, and even served as emperor. They still have a certain status in the hearts of North Koreans, and many North Koreans hope that Lee can be restored to power. Rushing to do so will only be counterproductive.
Moreover, Chiang Kai-shek's attitude was very ambiguous, and he always remained silent regarding the series of actions of the Li Wang family.
On the North Korean issue, the Chinese people's attitude will be crucial.
Syngman Rhee tentatively inquired about Chiang Kai-shek's attitude. The chief mediator of the Republic of China in North Korea told Syngman Rhee meaningfully: "The king is the king. In the history of China, there have been many emperors and many powerful ministers.
Sometimes, the emperor's rights may not be as powerful as those of his ministers. North Korea is different from China. China's thousands-year history of emperors ended suddenly, and many people were not prepared. Therefore, North Korea also needs a process.
"
With a strong Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent, Rhee quickly understood...
Subsequently, President Rhee Syngman of the "Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea" expressed his willingness to support Lee to return to the throne, although this "president" with great power was not willing to give up his "presidential" throne.
But according to Chiang Kai-shek's words, the time has not yet matured.
Syngman Rhee's early statement caused great repercussions and shock in North Korea and the "Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea".
"Acting President" Lee Dong-hwi firmly opposed it, while "Prime Minister" Kim Koo's attitude was less clear.
As for the Koreans, they are clearly divided into two factions, one is the "royalist" in the usual sense, and the other is the "progressive" with students as the main body.
The "royalists" rejoice at the possibility of Lee's return to the throne, while the "progressives" vocally oppose the continued emergence of a king in North Korea, believing that there should be a more enlightened, more democratic, and more progressive government.
For this reason, they even loudly called on the Chinese government to intervene in North Korean affairs to prevent such a situation from occurring.
Subsequently, Chiang Kai-shek issued a statement: No matter what system emerges in North Korea, it is an internal matter within North Korea. As the chief mediator, he is only here to mediate internal conflicts in North Korea and will not interfere with the North Korean political system. The future political system of North Korea should be determined by all the Korean people.
Choose one yourself.
There is no doubt that this statement is an awe-inspiring statement from the literal point of view.
The "royalists" gradually gained the upper hand in the battle. Due to Syngman Rhee's full support, Kim Koo's defection, and Lee Dong-hwi's switch from fierce opposition to silence, Lee's re-ascension to the throne has become an irreversible situation.
On November 26, 12th year of the Republic of China, Li ascended the throne again.
It's just that the name of the former "Korean Empire" was changed back to the "Kingdom of Joseon", and Li also returned to the title of "King" from "Emperor".
The Chinese government's response to Li's accession to the throne was very swift!
On behalf of the Chinese government, Chiang Kai-shek recognized the Kingdom of Korea and declared King Lee to be the legitimate king of Korea.
With the support of the Chinese, everything will be easier to handle.
Li successfully restored the throne. Those who played a big role in his restoration should certainly be rewarded and get what they want.
The first one was Li. The word "大义" was added to this "Prince of Righteousness" and became "Prince of Righteousness". Then he was appointed by King Li to take charge of national affairs.
Next came Rhee Syngman, who was appointed as the plenipotentiary Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Korea. Lee Dong-hwi was appointed as the Minister of National Defense. Kim Koo was appointed as the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
In the end, Lee Wan, who played a great role in the reset process, used these North Koreans.
Li issued an "amnesty order" in the name of the king to pardon the traitors on the list he had personally drawn up. He also strictly ordered that no one should be harassed.
This "amnesty order" caused an uproar throughout North Korea.
The king returned to his throne, and what he did was to go back on his word!
During the Japanese rule, these traitors betrayed the country and acted as collaborators. Their actions were detestable, but now not only have they not been punished, but they have also been protected by the government!
The wave of protests quickly spread from Seoul to the entire North Korea.
one
A large number of North Koreans began to organize demonstrations on the streets of Seoul to protest against the actions of the government. At the same time, outside the official residences of Chiang Kai-shek and other Chinese officials, large numbers of petitioners from North Korean people gathered every day.
The petitioners requested the Chinese government to come forward to protest against Li, demand punishment of North Korea, complete the democratic movement in North Korea, etc.
Chiang Kai-shek became the busiest person.
It remains the same position as before. The Chinese government does not interfere in North Korea's internal affairs and is only responsible for coordinating conflicts between various forces. North Korean affairs still have to be resolved by the North Koreans themselves, and so on.
Seeing Chiang Kai-shek who had just returned from persuading a new group of petitioners, Wang Hengyue smiled and put a glass of water in front of him: "Thank you for your hard work, Jieshi."
"I don't dare." In front of Wang Hengyue, Chiang Kai-shek always behaved respectfully: "This is a matter within Zhongzheng's duty."
Wang Hengyue smiled: "The first step has been completed. There will be major movements in North Korea within a year or two. I think you have thought carefully about the following things, right?"
Chiang Kai-shek nodded.
"Five years, it will take at least five years." Wang Hengyue said thoughtfully: "It will take at least five years to completely solve the North Korean problem. In these five years, you will have to work hard."
"Chiang Kai-shek knows his responsibilities." Chiang Kai-shek said calmly: "Five years seems like a long time, but there are a lot of things to do, and it goes by in the blink of an eye."
Wang Hengyue's lips showed a smile again: "Five years later, I will celebrate your success in person in Nanjing!"
"Does the president want to meet Li and the others?" Chiang Kai-shek asked.
Wang Hengyue thought for a moment and shook his head: "No need, I came to North Korea to see how the North Korea is arranged. Now it seems that you have done far better than I imagined."
The North Korean issue is proceeding as planned. Northeastern and Taiwan have been recovered. With the arrival of the Great Kanto Earthquake, Japan has successively lost Northeastern, Taiwan, and North Korea. Its vitality has been severely damaged, and it can only be trapped on those islands.
on, relying on limited resources to continue to maintain their dream of the "Great Japanese Empire".
Japan is no longer China’s main opponent!
Even in Wang Hengyue's eyes, Japan can no longer be regarded as an opponent. Now, it is time to set its sights further afield.
China should not only exert its influence in Asia!
"In the future, many things will happen in the world." The night before leaving North Korea, Wang Hengyue said to his loyal guard A Le: "North Korea, a small country like Japan, a small country like a small country. These countries are no longer worthy of our freedom.
Too much energy is put into it¨”
"Then where should we put our energy?" A Le, who didn't care much about politics, asked anyway.
"The whole world." Wang Hengyue didn't know whether he was talking to A Le or to himself: "Europe, America, Africa, many places are waiting for us. For example, the United States. We and the United States are allies.
, but this relationship may change in the future and become a competitive relationship, becoming the biggest rival."
"Anyway, since you are here, if I become an opponent, I will become an opponent." A Le said nonchalantly.
Wang Hengyue pondered, and then slowly shook his head: "It's not that simple. The United States has become China's opponent. I can't fight it alone. This requires the concerted efforts of our country and the help of external forces, and external forces are very important. Ah
Le, if a world war breaks out in the future, what do you think China will do?"
"Let's fight." Ah Le said without thinking.
Indeed, with the successive victories in the war against Russia and the war against Japan, the domestic people, including the army, have unlimited confidence in their own combat power. They are no longer afraid of any enemies. There are even some fanatical soldiers who can't wait to fight.
Hope the new war comes soon.
But these are not what Wang Hengyue wants.
Wang Hengyue stood up, opened the window, and looked out at Seoul in the night. He was silent for a long time. What was he thinking? Ah Le didn't know, and Ah Le didn't ask.
Ah Le still knew what to ask and what not to ask.
After a long time, Wang Hengyue turned his head and said:
