During this period, I have been very angry with the Japanese people. Suddenly, at night, the guards of the embassy of the Grand Duchy were attacked, and a fierce conflict broke out. When I heard the gun, the Japanese police came to stop the unrest, but the incident was saved. The casualties of the big guards were not serious, but more than a dozen Japanese were killed. The ambassador was frightened and rolled out of bed at night and twisted his neck. In addition, the Japanese delivered stones and broke the glass of the embassy.
After the event, the Japanese newspaper "Night Attack on the Consulate" reported the incident, while the big newspaper said that the consulate was hit.
This is a serious matter. Attacking a country’s consulate is equivalent to attacking its territory.
Although Huang Zunxian still tried to save it, Su Jiesheng sprained his neck and didn’t want to make peace. He informed the valley in detail and waited for the country to decide. This kind of thing has international practice and there is no room for negotiation. He immediately announced that the negotiations broke down and the general mobilization of the army was fulfilled.
The whole situation in East Asia has intensified completely. It is hard to believe that Shang Dehong, the supervisor of Ryukyu, actually managed to recruit millions of heroes in Ryukyu. It is unimaginable that there are more people in Ryukyu than in Ryukyu.
He had a drunken drink with a group of Ryukyu survivors and cried bitterly, indicating that greatness is the national spirit. After Ryukyu was restored to China, he would submit it to the king for a request to change the status of the patriarch.
The army mobilized the navy to attack the Jiangwan again, but the fish sweeper couldn’t finish the task for a while. While the navy continued to blockade the Jiangwan, the Japanese archipelago fought fiercely against the Japanese fort in Nagasaki, Osaka and other coastal ports. In general, the naval ship’s land fortress suffered losses, which is always the history of warships. The case of warships directly defeating the fortress has never happened in other countries except the Qing Dynasty, but the same fortress was lost in one day by the Qing army, but the Russians can persist here for half a year.
After the Japanese Restoration, it attached great importance to coastal defense. Fortresses were built at all major ports. The Japanese liked the British Armstrong gun factory very much. The batteries all bought this kind of gun. The performance of Armstrong gun was not the same as that of Krupp giant gun, so this artillery battle did not take advantage.
The navy is also angry at this time. They feel that the shame of failure must be found by themselves, or they will show jokes to the army. The two services have long disliked each other.
So the navy went out to occupy Nagasaki or Osaka on D-Day.
Section six hundred and fifty-three equals stupidity
The Continental Army announced that it would mobilize the navy to apply for the occupation of Japan’s seaport, and the situation in Japan was extremely tense.
The British are finally trying to save the war, not because they love peace, but because they don’t want to see the day destroyed.
In Britain’s view, a positive and enterprising effort to enter Japan is the best choice for Britain to block the eastern ocean. Even if Japan’s national strength is ultimately weak, it is not bad to be able to check and balance the sea base in Japan. Frankly speaking, although Hong Kong has been delayed, the British are not at ease. Where do you think that once there is a war with Japan, Hong Kong will be meaningless except for being destroyed for the first time? They need a base that is far from Japan but can quickly enter the big base. What better alternative is there than Japan’s port?
So Britain took action to dispatch its fleet from the soil to Singapore and from Singapore to Nagasaki in Japan. The name is to protect overseas Chinese, but it is actually a great deterrent to protect Japan.
Zhu Jinglun has been hesitating to agree to the navy’s application to occupy the Japanese seaport.
The Ministry of War believes that if it wants to attack a seaport in Japan, the Japanese will surely defeat the Japanese, and the Japanese will never dare to risk the country’s extinction. On the one hand, it is to give an explanation to the passionate officers to let them release the excess passion of the young people. On the other hand, it is a deterrent day. You have not mobilized. What are you doing to scare Japan into extinction?
But I really don’t intend to send troops to sweep Japan, so the heavy price will drag down the big economy. Therefore, mobilization alone is regarded as a mobilization drill. There are not many such opportunities, and no one will do it because these are all for money. Now I take the opportunity to mobilize. Although I also spend money, I can finally find a Japanese reimbursement. If I miss this village, there will be no such store.
If it is agreed which seaport is suitable for the occupation day, the former Ministry of War has different opinions. Some people think that it is of great significance to capture Nagasaki, Japan’s largest trading port or Japan’s shipbuilding and shipping center. Others think that Yokohama should be captured. Yokohama is the closest port to the Japanese capital Tokyo, and the railway is connected with Tokyo. Taking this place can deter Tokyo.
However, the British navy’s action in Nagasaki suddenly left the Ministry of War with no choice but to choose Yokohama, because attacking Nagasaki at this time was easy to conflict with the British navy.
"Just hit Nagasaki!"
When the Ministry of War revised the proposal to Zhu Jinglun, Zhu Jinglun did not hesitate to firmly believe that Nagasaki should be fought and immediately sent an order to the naval commander Chen Ada to let the navy and army cooperate with each other to launch an offensive against Nagasaki.
The navy is responsible for transportation and beach grabbing, and once it gets a foothold on land, the army will take care of everything else.
Ministry of war officials are extremely puzzled by this. Britain is a special country in the world. Although we don’t talk about it, we all know that Britain is far from great power.
On the navy, that is to say, if it can’t be a British opponent, in recent years, Britain has generally replaced its sail warships with armored ships, and other countries have no such national strength.
On the army, although the British soil is far away, the British occupation of India is just around the corner, and Britain can recruit no more than 200 thousand soldiers in India, and it can expand enrollment at any time if necessary
If you really fight the British, the land and the sea will be under pressure. In addition, the impression of British and foreigners who suffered from the Opium Wars twice in Guangdong’s history has been imprinted in the bones. If you can’t pass a revenge war, this fear imprint will be passed down from generation to generation.
Therefore, the Ministry of War civil servants are afraid, to put it mildly. The more Britain knows about the West, the more afraid it is.
Zhu Jinglun, however, has to fight Nagasaki without giving Britain a face at this time.
This is his diplomatic principle. It’s not shameful to compromise when it’s time to compromise, but don’t be shy when it’s time to make progress. Now Britain rashly comes to deter. If it retreats, it will not only give outsiders the impression that Britain is like a tiger, but who will dare to kiss most of them and go to kiss Britain in the future?
This big retreat of international diplomacy is tantamount to giving up for ever. In the future, Japan will certainly be very keen on Britain. The British protectorate may be the protectorate first and then the pawn. This is why the Japanese like to follow the path of the strong and then face the trouble of always fighting in the East.
The political Council once again deepened the fear of big officials to Britain, reminding the army and the people once again of the humiliation of the Opium War and the intensification of nationalism. Zhu Jinglun should have lost control of this country. The phenomenon of the army’s joint militarism has alerted Zhu Jinglun that he cannot continue to develop like a wild horse by this out-of-control force.
Therefore, it is necessary to let this force and emotion be released immediately, so that everyone can see that the country dares to face the strong enemy and face the difficulties, and it is time for Zhu Jinglun to clean them up after they vent their emotions for a while. It is absolutely not allowed to dare to bypass the Ministry of War.
On this day, they cheered the arrival of British warships, and Ito Bowen also felt that he had won a major diplomatic victory. He did not believe that the big fleet dared to occupy Japanese ports and launch a large-scale war when the British fleet entered Japan with such strong hints.
Although Britain has repeatedly stated that its warships are to protect overseas Chinese from the war with Japan, no Britain will abide by the principle of neutrality.
However, the Japanese people’s thinking is still oriental, because they think that big thinking is also oriental. They think that the congress will interpret the country from the British action and guess together, and then they are afraid to start work.
I didn’t expect that the big navy really took action. They bypassed the range of the Japanese fort and went to the island from Orange Bay behind Nagasaki Port. The original peninsula marched westward with the cooperation of the navy and crossed the entire Nagasaki Peninsula. The final goal was to occupy the port and fort and obtain a strong stronghold in Japan. Nagasaki Port transported follow-up materials and troops.
The Marine Corps will be responsible for landing on the beach and send it from Ryukyu to the Japanese kite department. Julian Waghann will land at the landing site and then head for Nagasaki to seize Nagasaki as quickly as possible.
I told the British National People’s Congress that the British military action was not aimed at the British and would not take action during the detention period of foreigners, but I hope that British warships will refrain from straying into the war zone during the military action period.
The British didn’t reply, and they probably wanted to wait and see or wait for the Japanese to give them more benefits. For example, the British wouldn’t understand that Japan is a coastal country with a dime a dozen ports. Why don’t they want to rent a base for the British Empire? You know, the British fleet can better protect the small day here, and see how crisp it is when the Qing Empire says to cut land.
Wenyuan’s invasion was not so smooth. The terrain here was too rugged, but the local people didn’t cause them any trouble. After the Reform, the first generation of farmers recognized the government as a robber. A group of people who suffered the most after the Reform were Japanese farmers. They also ignored the passing troops like the Qing subjects, just as if a certain name had gone to play other names. They were very willing to sell some food to the military, Japanese nationalism, Bushido spirit, and so on.
Without the harassment of local farmers, they can even get supplements on the spot, but it is annoying to harass the Japanese army and police from time to time because of the rugged terrain.
This makes wenyuan feel very bad. They don’t even have an accurate map. The map in hand is a naval chart that can cover the coastal area.
But without a map, you have to fight. The army has its own set of methods. It is too accurate to make a map, but a sketch can be drawn.
In this way, they travel in strange land and occasionally get guidance from local people, so they are glad that they are not lost.
However, it is obvious that the Japanese have already discovered the movement of the kite, and it is uncertain where the Japanese are lurking, perhaps waiting for them in Nagasaki.
Climbing a mountain kite, his vision was broadened in an instant. He saw Nagasaki port, and they finally passed through Nagasaki Peninsula. What he saw was the port pier and western-style buildings blocking off the sea. He saw that the warships could not enter because of the port battery, and he felt that the navy could.
But now, if the army attacks the battery, they can’t chew concrete and granite to build the battery without heavy artillery support.
The Japanese gave the answer, and they took the initiative to attack. Just when Wenyuan and his mountain were found, they were blocked by the Japanese at the mountain pass.
This is a big and special battle. Because of the big defeat, more than 300 people were killed on the spot, and more than 500 wounded soldiers were left behind in the local Japanese captive Wen Yuan and returned to the mountains with the remnants.
At this time, more than 1,000 people were killed and injured due to illness and harassment of Wenyuan Department by Japanese people the day before yesterday. He successfully withdrew from the mountainous area and opened a beach on the east coast of Nagasaki Peninsula, where he received supplies from the navy and built fortifications on the spot to make local wooden and stone camps enter the defensive stage. Wenyuan, though the navy returned to China, offered a humble apology to the emperor.
Zhu Jinglun was furious at Wen Yuan, who knelt in front of her.
"Without a detailed investigation, I rashly acted arrogantly! Arrogant Reckless Know what these add up to? Equal to stupidity! "
Section six hundred and fifty-four Seriously
Wen Yuan’s defeat has long been buried in his character. Passionate people tend to fall into the trap of arrogance. He is too careless and too contemptuous of the Japanese.
Japan won a Nagasaki war, and the whole day was boiling with the arrogance of the main war faction. The main peace faction lost its voice for a while, and even ITO Bowen was completely suppressed by Yamagata Aritomo before the command meeting.
At this time, the Japanese are proud.
