50 conflicts

Beijing, People's Lane in the eastern suburbs, the Consulate General of Japan in the Qing Dynasty.

Ijiin Yanji, the Consul General of Japan in Qing, who is more than half a hundred years old, wears a kimono today and sits quietly in the peace room of the consulate. A cup of tea has long been out of heat in front of him. And he also looked restless. His eyes were just staring at the snowflakes flying out of the window, as if he was waiting for something anxiously.

Outside the room, the sound of the soldiers of the embassy guard practicing came. The neat pace, the sound of the gun on the shoulders and shoulders. It came in waves with the command of the officers with the unique Japanese voice. It seems to convey the tense atmosphere in Beijing at this time.

There was a soft sound of footsteps outside the door, and then the door of the porch opened. The five people who came in were Takayama Gongtong, the army commander who had just been sent to Beijing, came in coordination with Major Taga Zongzhi and Captain Songjing Qingsuke, Captain Kimura Uehito, and Kawashima, the head of the Heilong Association in Manchuria, and the five people came in turn.

In addition to Kawashima, the four people were all wearing military uniforms. Although Kawashima was wearing kimonos, he was also a soldier. The five people sat there with straight backs.

"Mr. Yijiyuan..."

"Mr. Kawashima, how's it going?" The minister of Ijiyuan looked at Kawashima Sulang and smiled. Colonel Takayama had just opened his mouth and had been interrupted by him.

Chuandashima was stunned and whispered, "Ningxia Prefecture has been restored, and the dream of the Qing Dynasty in the northwest has also been shattered. Under the situation that the general trend of the Qing Dynasty has gone, Shanqi has nodded and decided to launch the King's Army in the Northeast, the independence of Manchuria first, and then the Central Plains. However, the young radicals of the Zongshe Party are not very active and think that there is no possibility of success..."

Colonel Gaoshan smiled and said, "One good man is enough. We don't really expect a government supported by all the Chinese... A group of patriarchs such as Prince Su were secretly escorted to Lushun. The Kanto Metropolitan Government assisted him in formulating a rebellion plan and providing weapons support, and then we can gather Mongolia. The prince and the bandits raised their troops to rise up.

He looked at the minister of Yijiyuan with a smile, while the minister of Yijiyuan did not speak quietly.

"What's wrong? Mr. Yijiyuan? Is there anything you want to say?"

The minister of Yijiyuan looked up at Colonel Takayama. Kawashima formulated this action plan for the independence of Manchuria and Mongolia, and made a report to the military department, asking the military department and the Kwantung Metropolitan Governor's Office to provide great assistance. The military department thought that this conspiracy was feasible, so Colonel Gaoshan Gongtong and others were sent to assist through the Kanto Governor's Office and the Beijing Garrison. Kawashima, in the center of the military department, is organized and commanded by Fukushima Yasumasa, the undersecretary of staff. In addition, the military department also colluded with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to get a loan from the big warehouse chaebol as funds for the rebel armed forces.

However, Kawashima's military rampage plan has been criticized by the moderates in Japan. They believe that this policy is easy to cause intensification of contradictions with European and American powers, and there are high disapproval.

Of course, the key reason why Colonel Gao Shan and the armaments are so enthusiastic is that the Kanto Governor's Office can use this plan to fill the iron and consulate. This is a long-standing "three-headed politics" problem left by Japan in Manchuria. As early as the establishment of Manchuria Railway, Eryu and Goto advocated the implementation of the colonial system of "Manchuria Railway" in Northeast China, and included fresh iron into the business scope of Manchuria Railway in an attempt to promote the colonization process of North Korea and Northeast China at the same time. However, due to the different opinions of Japanese political circles, it was not realized, and the three-headed political colonial system of the Kanto Governor's Office, Manchuria and the Consulate was formed, and the contradiction has existed for a long time.

Since being asked, the minister of Yijiyuan said rudely: "Mr. Gao Shan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has formulated the Program on Foreign Policy to China, in which "the policy on Manchuria and Mongolia" stipulates that "ensure peaceful development in the economy on the basis of my current status." Its main content is nothing more than two aspects. One is to perpetuate vested interests, that is, to solve the problem of leased land and extended use of Nanman Railway, etc. The second aspect is to expand new interests to Liaoxi, Dongmeng and Beiman. The first one is to plan to build a new railway from Siping Street of the Nanman Railway to Taonan Prefecture in Dongmeng. These are all made through negotiations with the weak Chinese government, so is it in the best interests of the empire for you to take such action without receiving any orders from the cabinet? I have been thinking about this problem. The empire... still needs to accumulate strength! The symbol of the Xinhai Revolution is that the Chinese people's wisdom has been opened. The failure of Han Yeping's joint operation proves that if you act at this time, you may develop to gamble on national luck!"

Colonel Gao Shan smiled and listened to his words quietly. After being quiet for a long time, he said gently, "Mr. Yijiyuan. You are indeed a national scholar who is worried about the empire... Uchida Ryohei's faction among our authorities and Japanese scholars advocates assisting the Chinese revolution to solve the Manchurian problem. When Sun Yixian came to Japan many times and rushed to plan for the revolution, they once said the following meanings: "If Japan gives assistance to the revolutionary party and the revolution is successful, China can cede Manchuria to Japan." But even if China does not keep its promise to give up Manchuria, it can at least expect an easy agreement with China to delimit Manchuria as a Japanese sphere of influence to eliminate the unease factor in the Far East. However, as the old treacherous and slippery Yuan Shikai appeared on the political stage, their expectations came to nothing. Japan may take advantage of China's internal strife to seize Manchuria. It must quickly stop the internal struggle and fight against Japan. In this way, Yuan Shikai took advantage of the Manchurian issue, compromised with the revolution, and seized the throne of president. Therefore, the appointment with Sun Yixian became a piece of waste paper, and the smooth solution of the Manchurian issue expected by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was a complete failure. Lord Dog Yangyi and Mr. Tou Shanman went to Nanjing in person, and there was no harvest.

Seeing the ugly face of the minister of Yijiyuan, Colonel Gaoshan continued to smile and said, "The result of the revolution is now clear, and finally Yuan Shikai, the hero, can reap the benefits of the fisherman. The National People's Republic has been established, but China has not been saved, the situation in the Far East has not been improved, and the relationship between Japan and China has not changed gratifyingly. So far, many Japanese sympathizers with the Revolutionary Party have had deep doubts and distrust of the state of the Chinese people. And return to a calm and independent position and reconsider the motivation for China's issue.

Hearing this, the minister of Yijiyuan was already uncomfortable all over.

"The Kawashima Army did not act together with the faction that advocated assisting the Chinese revolution from the beginning. He believes that even if the revolutionary party conquers the world, China will not become a unified and new country, so he does not advocate relying on revolution to solve China's problems. Colonel Gaoshan's tone was gentle.

Kawashima fell deeply and talked about the solution to China's problems: "The Chinese people are a nation that has been corrupted by the old civilization for 5,000 years, and their social cohesion has completely disappeared. For example, 400 million people are just like a plate of scattered sand. The individual sand grains are strong and not easy to crush, but their adhesion is completely lost. Even if most of the sand grains are gathered together and combined, it will not form a strong unity.

All the Japanese here nodded, and the minister of Yijiyuan was not included.

Kawashima continued: "The Chinese people's concept of self-interest, that is, its idea of safeguarding personal interests, is particularly prominent, which is far unmatched by the Japanese. That is to say, today, the Chinese people are a nation with a subjugated character that cannot act automatically with the unity of society. As long as this national character exists, no matter who comes to power, no matter what kind of politics he implements and seeks unification, it is difficult to succeed. However, if the development of natural trends is ignored, the symptoms of its subjugation will not only deepen day by day, but also China will eventually fall into the fate of being divided by the great powers. And Japan will also cause friction and struggle between China's territorial division and the European and American powers, and become more and more difficult in international relations. In that case, Japan will definitely be in a troubled situation. If the Japanese forces develop and invade the interests of other countries, it will inevitably lead to a sudden counterattack against me by white people.

"In addition, if Yuan Shikai's political skills are skillful, China's order is restored, and the cause of unification is completed, China may be exempted from the division of countries. But if this is the case, then Manchuria will of course become the territory of China, and Japan will be even more unable to expand its own interests in Manchuria.

After saying that, Kawashima straightened his waist and looked at Ijiyuan.

Gao Shan continued: "Mr. Yijiyuan, it's not wrong to say that you bet on the fate of the country. The future of the empire lies on the mainland, and China, a huge thing, can't be bypassed. At a time when the Qing Dynasty was in danger and China's national prestige was declining, the Manchurian issue between China and Japan was still in conflict from time to time. The people turn against each other, their feelings are increasingly estranged, and the voice of low-scale Japanese goods is increasing day by day. Moreover, the officials and constitutions of the emerging Republic of China, whose purpose is empty talk theory, have put forward the claim of sovereignty and interests, and their blind struggle and conflict with Japan may become more and more fierce.

The voice of the high mountain colonel came slowly, and everyone was listening quietly.

"Even if Japan wants to develop, its every move will form a fire of strife, and its exhausting situation is as clear as watching the fire. On this occasion, if Japan is forced by force, although China knows that it is difficult to defend with its own strength, it will undoubtedly adopt a policy of using external force to contain Japan. In that case, it must be expected that it will be more difficult to deal with the Manchuria problem. Therefore, Japan must consolidate its strength on Chinese territory. Even if there are any signs of change, it should often occupy a winning position and play the role of the master of the East. For this reason, it is urgent for Japan to establish a solid foothold based on Manchuria.

While listening, the minister of Yijiyuan flashed through his mind recently, and the development of the empire's military department became more and more uncontrollable...

"In order to plan the escape of Prince Su from Beijing. After various studies by Song Ii Qingsuke, Major Taga Muneyuki, Captain Kimura Shito and others have formulated the following specific guidelines and decided to act accordingly. I. Song Jingqing, together with the king of Karaqin, secretly escaped from Beijing to Inner Mongolia, and then gathered powerful Mongolians to recruit a number of soldiers. After going to Manchuria to receive weapons, they were transferred to the royal palaces of Karaqin and Bahrain. I. Kimura planted people with the king of Bahrain and secretly fled from Beijing to Bahrain to recruit troops for training. I. Duohezong's mobilised weapons and handed over to the song well in Manchuria. After temporarily returning to Beijing, he immediately went to the Qaraqin Palace. When the weapons arrived, he raised an uprising in Mongolia. These guidelines were put into action by the warriors of the Kawashima faction and the young soldiers of the empire, as well as Bo Yisan and Hu bandit leader Zuo Charter... If the opportunity is missed, it will not come again. This time, Mr. Yijiyuan, what we have done is to affect the empire for a hundred years!"

Gao Shan's voice is like iron, and the last sentence is like a knife cutting gold and stone, and Mars splashes everywhere.

Song Jing Leng, who has been silent, may as well add: "Anyone who replaces the Yuan family is more beneficial to the empire than the Yuan family! China must not be unified.

The minister of Yijiyuan still said very firmly, "It's too reckless. I have to tell the Guiyuan cabinet of the original matter."
