The "Declaration" published the article "On the Offer to the Ryukyus":

The Ryukyus have submitted to this dynasty, and the tributes have not been lost.

Japan waited for many ways and Ryukyu was still difficult to do for Chu to from Chu, Jin to from Jin, but after day and night temptation, the small people of the country were trapped and had to change. …… It is easy to start a strong neighbor's kindness, and I have to be grateful to follow it. Since then, the trade with China has been good, and the two sides have been in the alliance with China and North Korea.

When China reconciles with Japan, it has no worries, and it is responsible for China and the DPRK from Japan, and angry with Japan for not betraying China and the DPRK. In addition, Japan pretends to be powerful, and the European countries are still proud of trading with it, so the small island states are like toilets and clothes, and the small ones can also be small, but with today's news, why not?

Since ancient times, the country of good service is small in the big, weak in the strong, when the year is hired to read the world of the dynasty to conquer, the division, the alliance, the call is also said to be the end, there is no political ban in the country to obey the big and more open. Although the Ryukyus are small, they are also inherited from generation to generation, and there are ancestral legacies that can be kept, and now they are abandoned for the sake of Japan, so they are also for the country, and China and North Korea also know the meaning of the word.

…… The Japanese have to get an inch, and the Ryukyus can't help but obey! Hearing that Goryeo sent a message to China for instructions, and China resigned itself to conspire unscrupulously, and today's people have this move, then Ryukyu or please China and North Korea, and will also ignore it without help, but the way of the word is not good, if it is in exchange for Japan and abandon the country to flatter it, although China's government is still lenient, it is not to show that people are incompetent? ”

As soon as Gao Xinkui's words fell, the Queen Mother stroked her hands and praised, "The last sentence is the best, 'Show people to be incompetent?' "The Empress Dowager's steamer stayed in Shanghai for a short time, and then went north, along the seaside, towards Tianjin, and the Empress Dowager sat in the cabin, "Prince Gong and others, hey, Lao Cheng Mouguo is right." It's just that I have always been supported by public opinion, but I have to do tough things like this. ”

"Prince Gong and others are very worried, Beijing came to report, Okubo Litong Lion opened his mouth, asking for compensation of 500,000 silver dollars to calm the matter of the Peony Society, they are so arrogant, it is doubtful."

"Bozu, what are you suspecting?"

"Although the Japanese emperor has also issued an edict to renew it, but now it is only two or three years, even if he is a genius, it is impossible for him to skyrocket his national strength in these two or three years, and dare to be right with China.

"You mean, someone asked the Japanese to make the first bird?"

"Yes, and I think it's either England or France."

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and pondered for a long time, "It's possible!" She thought of the current situation in later generations, "The French want to lay out in the Far East, and the British want to deal with Tsarist Russia, and they have to deal with us!" ”

"In addition to the instigation of the foreigners, the Japanese themselves are afraid that they will also have the intention of provocation, and they will decide on a strategy when they see China's behavior, so I say that we must not be too weak, Japan is a close neighbor, and if we are too weak, we are afraid that we will kick our noses more and more in the future, and there will be no peace."

The Queen Mother seems to be particularly intolerant of Japan, in the past, the French warships circled in the East China Sea, and the Queen Mother was not so displeased, Gao Xinkui secretly thought in her heart, the Queen Mother continued, "The location of the Ryukyus is the only way for China to sail out of the coastal sea to the ocean, and the Japanese can not be easily obtainedHow many things did we sell? The base is not large, but the growth rate is extremely fast. ”

Just last year, some of the domestic light industry landlords who have done quite a lot of business have tried to sell foreign cloth, flour and some simple industrial products to the vassal countries, and Korea, Ryukyu, Indochina Peninsula and other countries are extremely welcome, of course, now the domestic industrial products want to be sold to Europe, naturally it is impossible, the products sold to Europe, so many years, or porcelain, tea and silk are the same three things, but let's go to the vassal countries to test the water.

Although the vassal state is weak and the demand is not much, it is also a sign that China's industry is going out, isn't it? The Qing Daily wrote a special book, and the matter was infinitely elevated, and the queen mother in Europe knew about it.

"It's not bad to compete with other countries, think about it," the Queen Mother said with a smile, "But don't dream in front of me, I just need to hold on, the original vassals are fine, the South China Sea, the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea, the land of the three seas, the Beiyang Navy has the final say, this is excellent." As for going to the ocean and fighting for world domination, I think it will not be possible in 20 years. ”

The Queen Mother said very wisely, Gao Xinkui nodded, "If the bottom line of the Qing Dynasty can hold on to the line of vassals, it is enough, but now," Gao Xinkui was a little crying and laughing at the Queen Mother's wanton behavior, "The Beiyang Navy Master acted without authorization, and Prince Gong and the others were afraid that they would be angry." ”

"They didn't act on their own initiative, they have my will." (To be continued.) )
