Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Is it because the scholars criticized Lin Yizhe so much because he was enthusiastic about Westernization?  But in the current situation, if we don¡¯t do Western things, we just stick to our old ways and don¡¯t know how to make progress, how can our country be prosperous and strong?  At this moment, Yang Rui's view of Hunan celebrity Wang Kaiyun has quietly changed slightly.  Judging from the various performances of this famous Wang, I am afraid that his reputation is just in vain!  Early the next morning, Yang Rui and several students came to visit Wang Kaiyun who was ill.  The servant led them into Wang Kaiyun's bedroom. Yang Rui was shocked to see that beside Wang Kaiyun, who was lying on the bed, there was a maid wearing only obscene clothes accompanying him.  Seeing the woman lying next to Wang Kaiyun, Yang Rui, who was still young and inexperienced, couldn't help but blush.  Wang Kaiyun didn't care at all about this. He smiled and greeted Yang Rui and others. Yang Rui noticed that Wang Kaiyun's complexion had recovered and couldn't help but be surprised at his speed of recovery.  "You guys are here just in time." Wang Kaiyun said with a smile, "I have written a letter here to the rebellious person in the Lin family. You guys should read it first." Wang Kaiyun said, ordered his servant to take out a letter and hand it over  Gave it to Yang Rui and others.  Yang Rui and others passed the letter over and saw that the letter was full of vicious abuse and false accusations against Lin Yizhe. Yang Rui couldn't help but frowned.  " Fighting for the tiny territory of Ryukyu is a waste of national funds. What good does it do to the country? Fighting for a false reputation at the expense of actual benefits has led to the country being exhausted and the army and the people working in vain. Is your heart unpopular?" I saw Wang Kaiyun's letter to Lin Yizhe  Recovering Ryukyu actually insulted him, and Yang Rui's face turned a little red.  "And some of the students who came with him praised Wang Kaiyun's letter, which made him feel even more harsh.  After leaving Wang Kaiyun's apartment, Yang Rui made up his mind.  Returning to his room in Sixian Lecture Hall, Yang Rui wrote a farewell letter to Wang Kaiyun and asked another student to help deliver it. Then he wrote two more letters, one to his mentor Zhang Zhidong.  He informed his mentor that he planned to study in Fuzhou, visit the Shipping Bureau, and visit Lin Yizhe. The other letter was to his brother Yang Cong, asking him to come to Fuzhou with him.  Lin Yizhe, who was far away in Fuzhou at this time, did not know that the Yang brothers would come to visit him. At this time, he had just received the news of the "Dian Case".  Under the light, Lin Yizhe was looking at the letter sent by Li Hongzhang via the high-speed reporting ship.  "To Lin Kunyu Fujun: Recently, powerful envoys came to the General Administration to discuss the Yunnan case. They made six proposals: First, China will send officials to Yunnan for detailed investigation; Second, if necessary, a special investigation team should be sent from India.  Entering Yunnan; on the third day, China will repay the British 150,000 taels of silver; on the fourth day, according to the Tianjin Treaty, foreign envoys will be given special treatment; on the fifth day, British merchants will be exempted from half of the normal tax; on the sixth day, the outstanding cases over the years will be settled quickly.  Ding Xing broke off the relationship. He also said that the Yunnan case was leaked to China and abroad, and he still did not explain it based on the facts. He made a lot of noise and extorted money. The General Administration had no solution, and the British envoys refused to go to Yunnan. There were defendants and no plaintiffs.  It is also difficult to achieve a satisfactory conclusion. The General Administration has repeatedly promised to send people, but they have not been able to do anything. When Yu Zheng was at a loss, he sent a message to Xia Zhan when he was in Tianjin, and he learned his strategy early.  He has foresight, but he has no place. ¡­ The envoy left Beijing to go to Shanghai yesterday to conspire with Bai Lang. I will send someone to investigate when he returns to Tianjin and question him face to face. ¡­¡± Thinking of Li Hongzhang.  Having already dealt with the Magali incident according to his own strategy, Lin Yizhe took a long breath and put the letter away.  Everything is under control!  Lin Yizhe knew that the reason why the Magali incident happened was that both Britain and France wanted to enter Yunnan, China from outside the border.  Both Britain and France want to enter Yunnan, which is an inevitable development of their invasion of Burma and Vietnam respectively, and their intensified aggression against Burma and Vietnam is, in a sense, precisely to intensify their aggression against China's southwest border.  As early as 1824-1825 and 1852, the British had occupied Lower Burma after two wars of invasion of Burma.  From the late 1850s to the early 1860s, France occupied the southern part of Vietnam after successive wars of aggression against Vietnam.  Britain and France have already established a foothold in the Indochina Peninsula. While continuing to expand their power there, they are also beginning to look for a direct way into China from there, in an attempt to open China's "back door."  The British took action earlier. As early as 1858, retired officer R. Sprye (who participated in the first war of aggression against Burma) proposed to start from Yangon and go northeast along the Salween River through Burma to Simao in China.  A proposal to build a railway was proposed; in 1863, someone proposed a route to Yunnan via Bhamo.  Spry's plan aroused widespread interest among British capitalists, who were eager to enter the southwest China market. Therefore, the relevant British authorities sent people to measure this route in 1867, but it was suspended before it was completed.  Since then, public opinion in the UK has continued to issue calls for the completion of Spry's route.  In 1868, the British first explored the route from Bhamo to China, and the expedition team once reached Yunnan.Tengyue, which was occupied by the anti-Qing Hui people, confirmed that this route was passable.  Of course, France was not far behind the actions of the British. In 1866, the French formed an exploration team, led by Dou-dart Delagr¨¦e and An Ye, and set out from Saigon to explore the Mekong River (lower reaches of the Lancang River) entering China.  It turned out that the upper reaches of the river was not suitable for navigation, so he turned his attention to North Vietnam, hoping to gain access to Yunnan here.  In 1871, French businessman J. Dupuis took advantage of the Yunnan authorities' eagerness to suppress the Hui uprising, and obtained the convenience of surveying the Red River on the pretext of purchasing arms on his behalf. He personally confirmed that the river was a navigable waterway from Yunnan to the sea through Vietnam.  .  However, after An Ye was killed, through the mediation of Lin Yizhe and Gu Ba and Hong Jun, the French plan to invade North Vietnam and spy on Yunnan through North Vietnam was temporarily shelved.  ¡°However, France¡¯s actions to explore the Mekong River caused great uneasiness in the UK.  In addition, in 1869, the United States completed the first transcontinental railway and the Suez Canal was dug. These facts were believed by the United Kingdom to have facilitated competition from other countries in trade with China; in order to maintain its dominant position in China, it moved ahead of France.  After entering Yunnan, they paid more attention to the issue of opening a land route from Myanmar to Yunnan.  In the same year, Britain opened a regular route up the Irrawaddy River to Bhamo.  At this time, the British colonial authorities in India and Myanmar mostly advocated winning over the leaders of the Yunnan Hui revolt in order to seize the opportunity to enter Yunnan, and they carried out activities for this purpose.  However, the final failure of the Hui rebels in 1873 disillusioned the colonial officials.  In fact, during this period, Britain attempted to extend its power from India to Tibet, which showed that it had ambitions for China's entire southwestern frontier.  But the British main focus at that time was not Tibet, but Yunnan.  Because Lin Yizhe is familiar with the history of this stage, he dug the hole early. Now, the British can be said to have jumped in!  By using the pitfalls of the Dian Case, he could not only resolve the crisis caused by the Dian Case and recover the rights and interests that the Qing government had lost when it was forced to sign the "Yantai Treaty" in history, but he could also take this opportunity to blackmail the British.  !  At this time, Lin Yizhe even felt that he should thank Ma Jiali.  Ma Jiali, you finally died!  ¡°How many great things have been accomplished with this head of yours!  "Why are you laughing, sir?" Xu Run looked at Lin Yizhe's lips and asked with a smile.  "This is Li Boxiang's letter. Sir, you can read it first." Lin Yizhe said with a smile, "The British are in my trap!" Xu Run didn't know that Lin Yizhe had given Li Hongzhang and Guo Songtao a secret letter in advance saying "If anything happens, tell it as soon as possible"  , he took the letter and read it over. When he saw the words "I knew you had foresight" in the letter, he felt a little relieved knowing that Lin Yizhe had already taken some measures in the Yunnan case.  Since learning the details of the Yunnan case, Xu Run has a keen sense that the case will bring great trouble to China. However, he does not know that Lin Yizhe has actually arranged this matter long ago.  "I'm afraid this Yunnan case will still fall on you in the future." Xu Run said sternly to Lin Yizhe, "This matter is extremely difficult to handle, and you need to be more careful." "How could you, sir, think that I must be responsible for this case?  Do it?" Lin Yizhe was surprised at Xu Run's sensitivity, but he still asked with a calm smile on the surface.  "A while ago, there were a lot of rumors about impeaching your Excellency, but they suddenly stopped in the past two days. Does your Excellency know the reason?" Xu Run asked.  "Perhaps they know that because the Queen Mother and Prince Gong have already decided on the country, it is useless for them to make any noise." Lin Yizhe replied with a smile.  "No! No!" Xu Run said anxiously, "Sir, these people all lost their voices, not because they were ordered to rule the country, but because they wanted you to handle the Yunnan case. Once something goes wrong, they  We can take advantage of the opportunity to attack in groups!" "That's it." Lin Yizhe nodded. After thinking about it, he still didn't tell Xu Run all the details of the Dian case. After all, everyone in China was dead except him.  No one knows Ma Jiali better. If he tells Xu Run the truth, he will not be able to explain why he has foresight.  "Sir's reminder, I should keep it in mind." Lin Yizhe said sternly in order to reassure Xu Run, "This case will not fall on me for the time being. Mr. Guo Yunxian is taking charge of it first. I am just preparing a countermeasure in case  "In the future." "From my perspective, this matter is extremely troublesome. I'm afraid Mr. Guo won't be able to handle it," Xu Run said, still looking worried.  Lin Yizhe thought of Guo Songtao, who should have arrived in London at this time, and who should be able to learn the news about the Yunnan case from the British. He looked at the box that he gave him and said, "I will tell you when something happens". He couldn't help but smile.  "Sir, don't worry, I'm afraid the show has already begun."It¡¯s over.  "Lin Yizhe smiled confidently and said.
