The Japanese government lost four battleships and four destroyers. The British once again came out to support the Japanese and reiterated the issue of evidence provided by both sides to prove the ownership of Dongsha Island. After the Empress Dowager Cixi gave up the idea of going to war with Japan,
He no longer cared so much about a small island and left it all to Yuan Shikai's disposal.
When the Japanese had the upper hand, they did not agree to the British mediation. Now that the island was occupied by China, they regarded the British proposal as a life-saving straw. The fleet suffered heavy losses at sea. They hoped to get benefits from the Qing court through diplomatic channels. Not only did they ask the Qing Dynasty
To recognize that Dongsha Island belongs to Japan, the Qing Dynasty also needs to recognize that some nearby islands are Japanese territory.
After Chen Hao returned to China, he immediately stated that it was the Cam Ranh Bay pirate fleet that attacked the Japanese fleet on Dongsha Island and had nothing to do with the Daqing Navy. It was unreasonable for the Japanese to demand compensation for this. At the same time, he firmly stated that Dongsha Island belonged to China.
, any country tries to get involved in Dongsha Island, the Chinese Navy will definitely go all out to defend the territory.
The two sides began to quarrel, and finally, under the coordination of the British minister, both sides agreed to provide evidence to prove the ownership of the island. The Japanese said that they had built railways, factories, etc. on Dongsha Island a long time ago, and it was the Nanyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty that invaded the border without any reason; the Qing Dynasty
On the other hand, the imperial court insists that Dongsha Island has belonged to China since ancient times.
At this time, Zhang Renjun, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, sent someone to ask Chen Hao to go to the governor's office. After Chen Hao arrived, Zhang Renjun said with a wry smile: "Brother Baxian, you did a very good job this time and successfully stopped the Japanese at sea. Unfortunately, things are not that simple.
Ah! Now the British have come forward to coordinate and ask us to provide evidence that Dongsha Island belonged to our country before. If we can't find the evidence, Dongsha Island will become the Japanese."
Chen Hao never received a reminder to complete the mission, and there were follow-up missions in his expectation. He nodded and said: "Do you have a way to prove that Dongsha Island is our territory?"
Zhang Renjun nodded and said: "Chinese ships have discovered Dongsha hundreds of years ago. There may be records in ancient books, but it is too difficult to find ancient books as evidence. Brother Baxian, if you can find evidence to prove that Dongsha is
Our territory will definitely be remembered in history, this is an extraordinary achievement."
"Player Chen Baxian and Governor Zhang Renjun of Guangdong and Guangxi issue you the mission 'Looking for Evidence'. Mission completion conditions: Find evidence to prove that Dongsha Island is Chinese territory. Mission reward: Unknown. Note: This mission is a follow-up mission to 'Patrol the Outer Sea'. If the mission is successfully completed
Rewards will be distributed cumulatively. If no evidence can be found, the mission of 'patrolling the outer seas' will fail."
After accepting the mission, Chen Hao became more and more curious about the rewards of this mission, because the difficulty of the mission was unexpectedly high. During the patrol at sea, he first fought against Vietnamese players and wiped out more than 10,000 Vietnamese players occupying Xisha. When he arrived in Dongsha
When he was guarding the island, he sacrificed the levels of his players and finally gained the upper hand. When he came back, the system still had follow-up tasks.
After leaving the Governor's Office of Guangdong and Guangxi, Chen Hao went directly to the Governor's Office of Guangdong and asked to see Wang Bingen, the Governor of Guangdong. When disputes arose on Dongsha Island in history, it was this well-read Governor who found the evidence.
The map of Dongsha Island was found in "Records of Sea Maps, Hearings and Seeings" written by Chen Lunjiong, and was sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Japan, who then returned Dongsha Island.
It is different in the game. Now that the system has generated a task, the inspector will not easily agree to help. After Chen Hao submitted his invitation, the disciple smiled and said: "Sir Chen, my master is not feeling well and has rested. Please wait for another day."
Come again!”
Chen Hao was rejected directly. After returning to the Navy Admiral's Yamen to rest for a day, he visited again the next day. As a result, this time the doorman said that Wang Bingen's condition had worsened and could not see guests, and asked him to come back after a while. Chen Hao understood this.
There must be something wrong with it. He took out a one-hundred-tael silver note from his bag and handed it to the disciple. Before he could speak, the disciple repeatedly waved his hands and said: "Master Chen, I'm just a servant. I can't help you if I don't see you."
Busy..."
Chen Hao interrupted Menzi and said, "I won't embarrass you. You just need to tell me whether your master is really sick or if he misses me for other reasons. Then this banknote will be yours."
The disciple collected the money as quickly as possible and said in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, my husband has a good relationship with the former governor. After you became the admiral of the navy, my master was dissatisfied with you and the governor many times. Most of them were
Because of this..."
Chen Hao finally understood the whole story. The reason why Wang Bingen didn't help was to fight against Cen Chunxuan! After returning to the admiral's office, he began to think about how to break the situation. There is no doubt that he must rely on Wang Bingen to find evidence, but Wang Bingen has a prejudice against him. If he insists on not showing up,
He doesn't have any good ideas.
The Inspector is a third-grade official, and his rank is not as high as that of Chen Hao's Admiral. However, the two sides are not subordinate to each other. Chen Hao cannot order Wang Bingen to do anything. After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to see Wang Bingen first. Since he did not meet Wang Bingen for a private meeting, then
We can only think of solutions from the official side.
Wang Bingen was a provincial prosecutor specializing in criminal matters, and had no official dealings with the admiral's office unless a case occurred in the admiral's office.
Chen Hao called two of his subordinates to give instructions. That night gunfire rang out at the Admiral's Yamen. Early the next morning, Chen Hao led the guards to the Admiral's Yamen and asked the disciple to go in again to report. When the disciple went in, he said
Sentence: "There was an assassination attempt at the Admiral's Yamen last night. I am here this time to ask Mr. Wang to administer justice."
After the disciples reported the report, Wang Bingen, the imperial envoy, came to the hall soon. Chen Hao finally saw the imperial envoy. He said calmly: "I know that the imperial envoy is ill, so I shouldn't disturb your meditation, but the admiral's office
There was a shooting case, and one of my capable men was shot dead, so I had to report the case to Mr. Wang."
Wang Bingen looked very elegant. He said calmly: "Master Chen, please tell me the specific situation! Who is the person who was killed?"
"The person who was killed was Wang Chao, the strange superintendent of the Admiral Yamen. Last night, Wang Chao was searching for information in the secretary's office, but unfortunately he was shot dead. The murderer wrote a few big words on the wall, 'He who eats the corpse will die', leaving a
The note said that Secretary Wang wasted a long time but failed to find evidence for the court to prove that Dongsha Island belongs to our country, so Secretary Wang must be a Japanese spy, so he killed him."
Chen Haoyi said angrily: "Secretary Wang has been searching for evidence day and night and has not rested for several days. How can he be regarded as a corpse? He has been searching for several days without any credit or hard work. I don't know why some people think that he is a Japanese
People are used to annihilate spies. If the Wang Secretary Office is to annihilate spies, and some great scholars who are clearly well-read and well versed in ancient and modern times know that the court needs evidence but remain indifferent, wouldn't such people deserve to die even more?"
"Master Wang, I hope you can help investigate this case no matter what, so that I can give an explanation to my subordinates. After finding the murderer, I will definitely report it to the Ming Dynasty to punish the nine clans. Even if the murderer has a personal grudge with Secretary Wang, he should not be involved in his investigation."
Take action when looking for evidence to prove that Dongsha Island belongs to our country. As a human being, you must distinguish between public and private affairs, and put public affairs first. If you abandon the public affairs of the country because of personal grudges, what is the difference between such a person and a pig or a dog?"
Wang Bingen is the most typical literati. He is a famous bibliophile and calligrapher. Literati want to save face. Chen Hao’s sarcastic remarks with a gun and a stick made his face green and white. If the governor had not given the task of searching for evidence to Chen Baxian
, Mr. Wang has already looked for evidence, and will not wait until now without taking any action.
Chen Hao's words made Wang Bingxian unable to refute. He had indeed abandoned official duties due to personal grudges and deliberately did not look for evidence. After being scolded by Chen Hao, Wang Bingxian took a long time to calm down. He said calmly: "Master Chen has wasted so much effort, and finally
You still want my help in finding evidence, right? If Master Chen is really public-minded, he might as well resign from the task of finding evidence to the Governor, and then Wang will send the evidence to the Governor's Mansion."
Wang Bingen was willing to contribute, but he did not want Chen Hao to get the credit, and instead defeated Chen Hao's army. If Chen Hao refused to find evidence, he would have given up on the mission, even if the court had evidence and took back Dongsha Island
, and it is impossible for him to get any reward.
As a scholar, Wang Bingen was thin-skinned, but Chen Hao was much thicker-skinned than him. He said sternly: "I will never give up on the matter of eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor, and will definitely try my best to find evidence. If it takes several months to find it,
There are still no clues, so Dongsha Island fell into the hands of the Japanese. I will try my best to have a clear conscience in the future. But some people who are clearly capable of finding evidence will become eternal sinners if they are unwilling to share the worries of the court because of personal grudges, resulting in the loss of the country.
Write it into the history books.”
Wang Bingen's face changed drastically. What a scholar wants most is face, and what he fears most is to be written into the history books as a negative teaching material. Originally, he planned to find out the evidence and hand it over to the court after Chen Baxian retreated, but Chen Baxian made his attitude clear.
He would never give up, which made Wang Bingen feel very angry.
Damn it, Chen Baxian said it righteously, saying that public and private matters must be distinguished, which made Wang Bingen feel that he had the capital to negotiate terms. He thought that if he could find evidence, it would be a rare commodity, and asked Chen Baxian to give up the task. If Chen Baxian was really public-minded, he would probably agree.
But the result was different from what he expected. On the surface, Chen Baxian made a high-sounding statement, but in fact he did not hesitate to let Japan get Dongsha Island in order to get credit for finding evidence. This made Wang Bingen not know what to do for a while.
To be honest, Mr. Wang is still very patriotic, and he is also afraid that Dongsha Island will really be occupied by the Japanese. The current situation is that if he continues to compete with Chen Baxian, it may lead to the loss of territory. He will definitely not dare to be such a historical sinner. After a long time
He sighed dejectedly and said: "Chen Ba, you win, but I will never help you find evidence. The evidence you want is in my possession. You can go find it yourself!" (To be continued.)
