"That's the case...... Emperor Meiji understood, and couldn't help but secretly sigh at Yanagihara Aiko's sincere love for him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He already knew the details of the "Ueno Park Incident" very well, and as for the person concerned, Yoshio Yamagu, he could make a fuss about his father, Aritomo Yamaprefecture, to appease the dissatisfaction of the Rothchild family, the big financiers behind the Japanese government, but it was much more troublesome to deal with the other party, Kuroda Kenzo, the widow of the famous general Kuroda Kiyotaka who died in the Southwest War.

But what he didn't expect was that the clever Mrs. Kuroda actually used this method to solve her own troubles, and at the same time tested the attitude of the top brass of the Qianguo fleet towards this "sailor killing incident".

The fact that Ding Yuting and Chen Wei, the admirals of the Qianguo Navy, accepted the petition of the "orphans and widows" is actually very revealing.

Ito Hirobumi may have also understood this situation, and keenly seized the opportunity to ask the ministers of the five countries to mediate.

So as soon as she got the good news, Aiko Yanagihara couldn't wait to share it with herself!

"Thank you, Aiko." Emperor Meiji said gratefully.

At this moment, a little boy in a kimono jumped up and running towards Emperor Meiji.

He is Aiko Yanagihara's second son, Tsuhito, born to Emperor Meiji.

It may be that he was anxious to see his father, the child ran too quickly, and because he was too small to move steadily, he actually fell, but he did not cry, but was quickly picked up by the father who rushed over.

Only when he saw this child did Emperor Meiji feel happy from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, he will not know the true background of this child.

There was a thunderstorm at night, and the night was so thick that it was dark. On both sides of the road, you can only hear the water flowing like a waterfall, and all the rain from this torrential rain is pouring down from the mountain. Tokyo seems to have risen. But in the fog, there were still lights flickering under the dark sky, and from the city came a noise mixed with human voices, wheels, gongs, and laughter.

This autumn rain did not make the weather cooler. Due to the heat of the rainstorm season, the houses in the suburbs are like cargo sheds with doors and windows open, and we can see everything inside. Lamps are always lit in front of the altars of the Bodhisattvas and ancestors at home, and all the Japanese people have fallen asleep. Under the traditional blue-green leno tent, you can faintly see people lying in rows from house to house. People sleep, catch mosquitoes, or fan themselves: men, women, and babies are also around their parents, and everyone, young and old, wears dark blue chintz dressing gowns with the back of their necks resting on small wooden supports.

Only in a few houses were people still having fun: a long distance away came the sound of a piano over the dark garden, the melody of which was incomprehensible, and the joy seemed to be filled with sadness.

The next day, after the rain, the sky was clear, and the negotiations between the two countries on the "sailor incident" also seemed to have the intention of turning a peak.

As to the cause of the clash between the Japanese sailors and the Japanese police and the people, the two sides insisted on their own words on that day. The cadres held that the Japanese police had deliberately provoked the sailors of the Qianguo country by deliberately planning a pre-design, and that thousands of people had blocked the streets and alleys at both ends, and the sailors of the Qianguo country cut them down whenever they saw them, and the Japanese people threw boiling water and threw stones on the buildings along the streets, and the sailors of the Qianguo were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. The Japanese side believed that it was the sailors of Qianguo who wanted to take revenge for the hatred of the day before yesterday and first provoked and snatched the baton of the Japanese patrol officers. They were then beaten to death, and large-scale bloodshed began.

The Japanese newspaper insisted that the conflict was caused by the fact that the sailors of the cadres had made trouble again: "Since about 1 p.m., the number of sailors ashore on each ship has reached 400 or so people. They wandered around the city and gathered around the Chinatown of Hiromaba...... (6 p.m.) Patrolman Hanshiro Sakamoto was patrolling Hiromaba Town when an oncoming sailor knocked off his hat and pointed at him with a knife. These sailors were drunk and behaved unusually; The Qianguo people living in Nagasaki also mocked and insulted the police in every way. …… At around 8 p.m., three Qianguo men (not sailors) blocked in front of (the three Japanese patrol officers) and repeatedly entangled, either reaching out to touch the policeman's face or gesturing at the policeman with a knife. Some of the Qianguo people came out again in an attempt to seize the baton of Patrol Fukumoto. Patrol Officer Fukumoto was about to take precautions when another person came behind him, and the two sides scuffled together. At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, and 20 sailors rushed out of the restaurant at once and rushed towards Patrol Fukumoto. Patrolman Fukumoto was severely beaten in the head and fell to the ground, killing instantly. The patrol officer of Kita Village was also knocked to the ground, but was dragged into the house by a Qing family and survived......"

The Qianguo side said: "If Japan bears more responsibility in terms of the severity of its faults, there is no problem." Because as far as the circumstances at that time are concerned, it is completely unreasonable for Ruyun Qianbing to retaliate and provoke the police. "The reasons for the intervention are roughly as follows: 1. The clashes on the 13th resulted in serious injuries to the Japanese police, and the sailors of the Qianguo were slightly injured, and there was no need to retaliate; 2. It is strictly forbidden for sailors to carry weapons when they go ashore, and Admiral Ding Yuting has ordered his cronies and military attachés to carry arrows to accompany them to carry bullets, so organized revenge activities are impossible; 3. More than 200 sailors landed on the shore, and there were only 4 murder knives, and the sailors were all injured in the back, apparently when they encountered a surprise attack and fled for their lives. On the contrary, the cadres held that the suspicion of the Japanese police's design was rather serious: 1. After the incident occurred on 13 July, the police sent fishing boats to monitor the activities of the Qianguo sailors near the Qianguo warship; 2. After the incident on the 13th, the Tokyo police mobilized manpower on a large scale; 3. The Japanese citizens of Tokyo were also mobilized to participate in the attack on the sailors of the Qianguo, and in Tokyo, which had always been closed very late, all businesses closed early on the evening of the 15th.

Many details are difficult to verify, and the truth naturally cannot be concretized. However, the general background is still clear: in this year, it was clear that the feelings of the people in the two countries were extremely discordant -- since the Restoration, Japan has been bent on seeking expansion. First, he tried to annex the Ryukyus, which was a vassal of the Qianguo, which had already aroused the indignation of the people of the Qianguo; Subsequently, the attempt to invade Moss Bay triggered public opinion about the Qianguo Eastward Expedition to Japan; China and France repeated their old tactics during the negotiations with Vietnam, and they also wanted to extend their influence to Korea, which was a traditional vassal of the Qianguo, and once again stirred up the sentiment of the people in the Qianguo...... According to the logic of the Japanese people at that time, the fact that the Qianguo first prevented its occupation of the Ryukyus and then prevented its eastward expansion of its influence to Korea was actually a stumbling block on the road to Japan's self-reliance.

This discord is well documented. In the 11th year of the Meiji era (9078 of the Western Association), the first consul of the Qianguo in Nagasaki arrived, and the Japanese newspaper described it: "The local Qianguo people continue to complain to him. When the Japanese police checked the registration certificates (plates), they had a bad attitude, and the Qianguo people were very disgusted by this. It is said that shortly after the consul arrived, he was insulted by the police on the road, and he immediately protested. At that time, the Qianguo warship entered Nagasaki Port for maintenance, but in the eyes of the Japanese people: "The Qianguo warship sailed into Nagasaki Port nominally to repair and care for the warship so that it could continue to Incheon; But in reality, it was a demonstration, an opportunity to show off the superiority of naval power. This is how the Japanese people view the arrival of the Qianguo fleet in Nagasaki. Because of this preconceived preconception, it is not surprising that the citizens of Tokyo have such an impression of the Qianguo sailors who have come ashore: "The Qianguo people are also unfamiliar in their behavior, especially the sailors who have gone ashore, relying on their own naval superiority, they simply walk sideways, and they will never give way when they encounter the Japanese police, and the police have no choice but to give way to them." ”

Although the Japanese people were very resentful and held demonstrations and demonstrations to protest against the Qianguo during the negotiations between the two sides, in the end the Japanese Government was still intimidated by the powerful Qianguo naval fleet and actively expressed its willingness to "actively and properly resolve the matter" "with the main purpose of safeguarding peace and friendship between the two countries." Subsequently, the German Minister Ho Liben proposed that the two sides compensate each other on the principle of "suffering more and showing compassion for the more serious," and that the matter of holding the murderer accountable was left to the convenience of both sides because of "the chaos at the scene, the lack of evidence, and the difficulty of detailed investigation."

Although they were not very satisfied with the German minister's proposal, the Qianguo side also said that "for the sake of friendship between the two countries," they agreed to compensate each other and hold both sides accountable for their own convenience, but they put forward additional conditions, that is, "the ronins are illegally armed Japanese people, deliberately seek provocations, and participate in brawls with knives and sticks." Therefore, in the item of mutual compensation for losses, the cadres "only compensate the police, not the ronin," and "from the beginning of the year, the Japanese police are not allowed to carry swords."

Wu Tingfang, a negotiator from the Qianguo side, pointed out: "For many years under the Japanese Government's 'abolition of the sword' order, the ronin still regards himself as a samurai, carries a sword, and is above the common people, and the Japanese Government cannot shirk the blame." He also cited the example of the Japanese policeman Tsuda Sanzo who slashed the Russian crown prince with a knife that occurred not long ago, and "the harm caused by the Japanese sword has been incessant, causing great anger in the past, and now there is another bloody case." He demanded that the Japanese Government thoroughly implement the "abolition of the sword order," that "no police officer or the public should carry a knife," and that "police officers are only allowed to carry bamboo and wooden sticks and sticks when patrolling the streets, and it is strictly forbidden to carry swords."

In the face of the views of the cadres, the Japanese side held discussions for many days, and many Japanese officials held that the additional conditions imposed by the cadres were unreasonable demands that should be rejected, and declared: "If China adopts such a policy of concessions, how will the Qian-empire feel?" Fearing that they will be intimidated by a threat, they will be restrained, and finally give in, which will further encourage their insults." Inoue believes that Japan has no choice but to accept it now, because "Japan does not have a navy that can rival the fleet of the Qianguo. ”

Under these circumstances, the Emperor Meiji of Japan held an imperial meeting to discuss the aftermath, which was chaired by the Emperor himself, and was attended by Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito, Foreign Minister Masayoshi Matsukata, War Minister Yama Aritomo, Navy Minister Takehiro Natsumoto, Minister of Finance Okuma Shigenobu, as well as Inoue Shin, Mori Yuri, Aoki Shuzo, and Mutsu Munemitsu, among others, the meeting lasted for five hours, and finally the emperor decided to accept the additional conditions of the Qianguo side and learn about the incident.

Immediately after the meeting, the Japanese side informed the Japanese side of the Japanese side's decision to Xu Chengzu, the minister of the Qianguo State in Japan, and Ding Yuting, the admiral of the navy, and then Ding Yuting ordered the disarmament of the war readiness, and Inoue Xin and Xu Chengzu began negotiations on the amount of compensation between the two sides, and agreed that one non-commissioned officer on both sides would pay 6,000 yen, one soldier would pay 4,500 yen, one disabled officer should pay 2,500 yen, one cadre would be killed, seven sailors, 36 disabled sailors, nine marines, and the Japanese side would compensate 150,000 yen. The 20,000 yen for the hospitalization of the sailors was paid by the Japanese side. The Japanese side had 3 dead police officers, 16 patrol officers, and 24 disabled patrol officers, and since the dead and injured Japanese ronin were not within the scope of compensation, the Japanese side was compensated 150,000 yen by the dry side, and the amount of compensation for both sides was the same, which could be offset against each other, and the Japanese side only needed to pay an additional 20,000 yen for medical expenses. As for whether or not to punish the culprits, it is up to the governments of the two sides to decide on their own and not to interfere with each other.
