On the 14th day of the second lunar month in the 30th year of Xianfeng, after countless negotiations between the two countries, the Sino-Japanese Beijing Treaty was officially signed. This contract stipulated that all the land north of 30¡ã north latitude and west of Tokyo 135¡ã77¡ä It was ceded to China, and Japan also compensated China with 107,240,000 taels of silver, to be repaid in seventy years; at the same time, Japan opened Natori, Tsunoda, Soma, Yokosuka, Izu Peninsula and other coastal ports to China. warships and merchant ships docked, while enjoying all the interests of Western countries in Japan. More importantly, the total tonnage of Japanese naval ships shall not exceed 1 million tons.
On the Chinese side, it has given up all military interests gained in Yamagata Prefecture, Miyagi Prefecture, Niigata Prefecture and Fukushima Prefecture, and will withdraw all military forces in the above prefectures before June 13th of this year. All civil affairs and garrison matters were handed back to Japan; at the same time, as compensation from China, the Chinese invested funds to set up a steel factory in Hegang Prefecture, where the Qing troops first landed. And build a railway line from Tsuruoka Prefecture to Yamagata, the prefectural seat. As for whether this railway line will be extended in the future, it will be decided after discussions between the governments of the two countries.
This time, the Qing Dynasty cut off more than 700,000 square kilometers of land from Japan. There has never been such a strong martial arts master since ancient times. For a time, there was an endless stream of poems praising saints from all provinces. In addition, this year is On the occasion of the emperor's fiftieth birthday, official missions from various provinces were constantly coming and going, and the Qing Dynasty was full of lively and busy scenes.
In addition, the first thing the emperor did was to appoint Zaijun Yingbeile, the fourth elder brother of the Jin Dynasty, as the general minister, and go to Japan to handle the aftermath of civil affairs. At the same time, he was sent to Japan as well, Xu, a lecturer at the Imperial Academy, was also sent to Japan. Tong, and there were many editors, editors, and reviewers from the Hanlin Academy. The first task of these people when they go to Japan is to set up a stall in Kobe as soon as possible, and then immediately start the task of educating the people in Kobe. The emperor also issued a decree that Kobe, Osaka, and Kyoto were newly included in the territory of the Qing Dynasty. In order to appease the people and benefit the people's livelihood, the above three places and all the land belonging to the territory of the Qing Dynasty were exempted from taxes for ten years.
Although Zaijun was happy that he had been promoted to Bellegarde, he was not happy about being sent to Japan: "Third brother, fifth brother, why don't you go and beg for mercy from Emperor Ama? Let me go? I¡¯ve heard people say that in Japan, there are always earthquakes all year round. If the house collapses and I¡¯m buried underneath, wouldn¡¯t it be a disaster?¡±
Both Zai Lin and Zai Yan were amused by his words, "Fourth, it's true that there was an earthquake in Japan, but in fact, it may not be as severe as you said. It's not like you don't know Huang Ama's temper. Once you decide When did things change? Besides, if you go this time, the spring breeze will turn into rain, and all the people will be benefited. If you stay in Japan for a few years and come back with your errands done beautifully, a county prince will not be able to escape. By then , wouldn¡¯t it be better than doing what we are doing now, bearing the name of a Beizi and eating a bowl of free food in the capital?¡±
"What the third brother said is true," Zaiyun also said, "I think your trip to Japan this time will be beneficial without any harm! Oh, and there is another section. I heard that Japanese women are gentle and the most lovely. Man, you¡¯d better do this kind of thing, then you can really enjoy it!¡±
Zaijun smiled bitterly. Zaiyan rarely joked. This time he said such an almost insulting thing for the first time. On the one hand, he was really joking with himself, and on the other hand, he was trying to find a way to make himself laugh. "Lao Wu, I heard that , if I or Third Brother were sent there, it was Sixth Uncle who told Chen?"
"yes."
"Damn it!" Zaijun stomped his feet vigorously, "I didn't expect that Uncle Liu would do this and drive me out of Beijing. Isn't this obvious Do you want to make room for the second child? You are also in front of the emperor, why don't you say anything? Woolen cloth?"
"Fourth brother, what you said really makes me feel sad. As a son of man, I can only do my errands with my heart. How can I be obsessed with my own gains and losses? Besides, the second brother is now" Zaiyan said in a gentle tone, "The second brother is now worried about I have so many errands to do, what about me? I am just a military officer learning to walk, and I have no business at all. Emperor Ama is sending you east now, and his old man¡¯s intentions are already obvious. I just want to fight, so what¡¯s the use? "
Zaijun was in a daze for a moment, then looked back at Zailin, "Third brother, what do you think?"
"There is no other way at the moment. We can only take it one step at a time." He said, "Fourth brother, when you arrive in Japan, you must not make any mistakes. If someone else gets a handle on it, and Huang Ama is responsible for it, it would be a mistake." The situation is so dangerous that it becomes even more uncontrollable.¡±
"I see, you scared Zai Ying out of his wits! Are you still in danger? Tell me, how can you be in danger? They are both Huang Ama's biological sons, why do you favor one over the other? Is it just because he is the son of a beloved concubine? Lao Wu Or the legitimate son?!"
"Okay." Zai Lin interrupted him angrily, "Why are you talking about this? I'm just talking about the current situation, why do you bother?The one with a gun and a stick? "
Seeing that the two brothers were about to quarrel over this, Zaiyun quickly tried to persuade them. The two glared at each other and sat down angrily. "Huang Ama has a long life, so why should you worry about temporary gains and losses?" He said, "The second brother is indeed stronger than me Huang Ama arranged for fourth brother to go to Japan. In fact, in my opinion, I came here intentionally to gain experience. No matter what happens in the future, wouldn¡¯t it be a good thing to have a brother in the court who is familiar with Japanese folk customs?¡±
"Listen, I still like to hear what Lao Wu said." Zaijun rolled his eyes at Zailin and stopped mumbling.
"However, Fourth Brother, I still say what I said. When you go to Japan, you must not make mistakes. If you give others a handle, it will be a dead end. If you don't think about yourself, but also think about the fifth brother, who is it in Beijing now? I don¡¯t know, you are from Lao Wu, and you have caused trouble. Even if Huang Ama wants to spare you, will Second Brother and the others be willing to let go? In the end, Lao Wu must still be blamed."
"Okay! I get it. Can I be the one to do the work for you and the other to do the work?"
The conversation between the brothers ended up being unhappy. Zaijun left the capital according to the order. Zaiyun and Zaiying went on duty as usual to handle official duties. The situation in Beijing suddenly stabilized.
The congratulatory form compiled by the Ministry of Rites and the ceremonial itinerary for the Emperor's Longevity Festival have been presented to the emperor. The emperor felt worried when he thought about it, "There are so many things to do in one day, how can this not be a birthday celebration?"
Jingyu pursed his lips and said happily, "Don't be pretentious. All the ministers and ministers from all over the world are congratulating the emperor and congratulating us on the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty. In fact, not only the subjects and officials, but also the envoys from various countries stationed in China also want to see him. Your Majesty, I would like to congratulate you on your birthday!"
"I know that Lao Liu told me yesterday that envoys from various countries would be given a banquet after going to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to salute. What contribution did these people make to the Qing Dynasty? Why do they want to indulge in this kind of food? It's for nothing. Eat my Qing¡¯s lunch?¡±
Jingyu had heard his nonsense a lot. In addition to the recent happy events, he knew that he was in a very good mood, so he couldn't help but say to the side, "You talk about appetite, but I remembered one thing. Do you remember The last time I summoned Bao Chao, he said that he had adopted a woman in Japan, who was the Lord of the Kite Pavilion?"
"Remember, what happened?"
"This woman is doing great now, hey! She has brought her business to the feet of the Qing Emperor!"
"Oh?" The emperor was interested, "What do you mean? Opened a Japanese restaurant in Beijing?"
"Isn't it? I heard people say that business is extremely good! If you go a step late, there will be no seats at all."
The emperor had never tasted orthodox Japanese food. Hearing this, he felt salivation in his mouth. He just wanted to eat quickly, but then he felt something was wrong: a very important part of Japanese food lies in the freshness of the ingredients and the exquisiteness of the ingredients. If it is said that in In the era I live in, transportation is developed and convenient. There is another reason. How can it be done in this era? Needless to say, fresh fish products are not so easy to guarantee. I just don¡¯t know how they do it?
Jingyu saw his expression change from novelty to solemnity, and asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
"Yang San, go to the military aircraft station and tell Sushun to come in."
The emperor asked Yang San to convey the order, and then asked Jingyu, "Do you know the name of this store?"
¡°I heard people say that it¡¯s great.¡±
The emperor nodded thoughtfully and said no more. After waiting for a moment, Sushun hurriedly entered the palace. After he had saluted, he asked, "I know you are the most delicious person in Beijing." You must have been to the newly opened Dayou?"
"This, I know people better than the Emperor, and I am so lucky" Sushun felt that this sentence was wrong, so he quickly changed his words and said, "I have indeed been there before."
"How are you using it?"
"I feel that although the Japanese way of drinking food is far inferior to that of China, it still has a different flavor that can be enjoyed."
"Are the ingredients still fresh? Do you feel any discomfort after using them?"
"The ingredients are very fresh. I enjoyed it very much and didn't feel any discomfort after eating it." Sushun misunderstood and thought that the emperor was also interested, so he blurted out, "If the emperor likes it, why don't I ask for an order to declare them Come into the palace, for the emperor"
"Japanese cuisine mostly uses seafood. The weather is getting hotter and it is not easy to preserve food. Do you know where the ingredients in his store come from? If it comes from the sea, that's it. If it is taken from the homeland, how was it transported?"
"I don't know this," Sushun said. "Please allow me to wait for a few days. After I ask you questions, I will come back to the emperor to answer the question."
 "That's not necessary, I just feel strange," the emperor said. "If he comes in the right way, no matter how big his business is, it has nothing to do with me. I'm just afraid that if his origin is unknown and there is something illegal, I will Take good care of him."
