At nightfall, the consuls of various countries who came to watch the ceremony welcomed the Japanese commander of the Naoli Dispatch Army, General Kuroki Weizhen, the former Japanese Consul General in Tianjin, Matsudaira Tsuneo, the former commander of the Tianjin Garrison Army, Major General Sato Gangjiro, and the generals of the Naoli Dispatch Army.

The British Consul General in Tianjin, Lu Fuli, stood at the forefront, and after everyone had finished saluting, he looked at Kuroki Weizhen and Matsudaira Tsuneo and said: "Gentlemen, you are a little late, the Chinese patrol in the city has just left, and they have moved the whole city away, of course, there will always be people who stay, especially those who are dissatisfied with the current government. ”

"We thought that the people of China would resist more fiercely, so that they could be worthy of those beautiful slogans of the Yang family, but we didn't expect ......" As a diplomatic elite, Tsuneo Matsudaira spread his hands like a foreigner, and he looked very regretful.

"Yes, the Chinese do not dare to offend the norms of the civilized world, they do not dare to build batteries in Dagukou and adjacent areas, and they do not dare to build fortifications on both sides of the railway." Lu Fuli smiled and said: "Perhaps, as long as you march to Beijing, the war will be won, and now the army of Chinese ......" He looked at the Russian Consul General in Tianjin who was standing not far away. Peter. He glanced at him and whispered, "...... All pinned down by the Russians, Mr. Matsudaira, victory will belong to your country. ”

The British Consul General muttered alone. The consuls of other countries only greeted each other politely, and they were polite when they saw that everyone was polite. Tsuneo Matsudaira looked at the guests and reporters present and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, ...... today We are very happy to be back in Tianjin again. Matsu smiled and looked at the welcoming people. Seeing that everyone began to applaud, he was very satisfied: "The Japanese army is not here to invade China, but in view of the hostility of the Yang government to Japan and the civilized world for many years, it is necessary for Japan to curb the trend of boxing and banditry in China. Since the beginning of the war, I think you have been as amazed as I am at the Yang government's control over the whole of Chinese society and their ability to mobilize, and when you think of the Renaissance government's hostile and slanderous remarks against the civilized world, I believe that it will not be long before there will be another riot in China.

Under the management of the Yang clan and their so-called emperors. The Chinese do not believe in God at all, and their paganism has caused terrible disasters in San Francisco, Chile, and even Italy, in a vain attempt to fight the entire civilized world by believing in the devil. Gentlemen, such an evil government must be overthrown, and Japan will fulfill this task and work hard to build a friendly, open, and civilized China! Thank you!! ”

Matsudaira Tsuneo is personable and eloquent, he has made a lot of efforts to come to Tianjin for this speech, and he has also read all of Yang Rui's previous works, excluding those professional books. He had to find the book "Gold and Silver in the Americas and the Rise of the Western World" ten years ago to make an article, and then use the Chinese Taoist monks to accurately predict earthquakes and spread the theory of pagan threats.

Gold and Silver in the Americas and the Rise of the Western World is a scholarly work, or a scholarly attack on Western civilization, albeit well-argued. The information is detailed, but all foreigners don't like it when they see it, because this is the original sin of the entire Western civilization. After the publication of the book, in addition to the spread in China. There were translations in Japan and throughout Asia and the Americas, and for a time they were banned by the Western world. Although the author of the book is only a pen name in Tingjian, many people believe that this book can only be written by Yang Rui, who has spent several years in the London library, and the article is also in line with his style.

In addition to this book, another philosophical work, although it does not subjectively belittle Western civilization in its content, but the title of the book and the meaning expressed in the book believe that Western civilization has tended to be on the verge of destruction, because this civilization itself is full of problems, it will originate from reason, and it will eventually destroy reason.

Before the First World War began, every country and every person made the most rational choice in this war, but the result of rational choice was a tragedy for the entire Western world. Because there is no confirmation of the First World War, this book is also disliked by the West, but the book analyzes the model of each nation in the form of culture, so that foreigners can not find any handle, and the only thing they can attack is that the author's interpretation of Western history is far-fetched and blunt, but they cannot also write a book to refute it.

From exposing the original sin of Western civilization with gold and silver in the Americas, predicting the end of Western civilization with the development of culture, and then using miraculous predictions to deny the entire belief in God, these three are unrelated and cooperate with each other. Thus, in the eyes of many Western missionaries, in time, the civilized world's decades of indoctrination and taming of China will be abandoned, and these barbarians will eventually return to barbarism.

As Matsudaira expected, his speech was warmly praised by everyone present, the bayonet represents civilization, and the Chinese representative barbarism was deeply agreed with by the foreigners in China, but in the midst of this applause, Wu Hai, the chief writer of the Beijing-Tianjin Times, asked a question that made Matsudaira Tsuneo extremely embarrassed: "Mr. Consul General, I heard that Yang's two books sell more than 100,000 or hundreds of thousands of copies in your country every year, and Yang's annual publishing dividends from your country are more than 100,000 yen. In addition, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and Culture of your country has set up a Society for the Study of Eastern and Western Cultures to study Yang's theory, and has also set up special courses in cultural studies at Imperial University and other universities. What is your comment on this, Mr. Consul General? ”

It's always embarrassing for people to expose lies, but Matsudaira is worthy of being a diplomatic elite, and immediately said: "We didn't know the danger of the Yang family before, and a lot of the academic research on the Yang family is academic and does not represent the government's position......

Matsudaira barely pushed Woodhead's question through in three or two sentences, but fortunately, Donald, a reporter from the Far Eastern Times next to him, asked: "May I ask Mr. Matsudaira, is the purpose of your war's war really to defend the civilized world, and not out of your own interests?" ”

"Japan's own interests are part of the interests of the entire civilized world. To defend the interests of the civilized world is to defend the interests of Japan, and vice versa. Matsudaira smiled. I can guarantee here. You will see a civilized war, and China will be more civilized after the war. ”

Tsuneo Matsudaira finished speaking. When he wanted to answer the question again, the second ferry had already docked, and under the advice of his entourage, he said excitedly: "I think it is more worthy of people to believe that China's problems are still expressed by the Chinese themselves, and His Royal Highness King Fu Wei is invited." ”

With the sound of Matsudaira Tsuneo, the band began to play the national anthem of the Qing Dynasty, Gong Jinou, Fu Wei, the former governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Shengyun, Kang Youwei, Liu Tingchen, Lao Naixuan, Zheng Xiaoxu, Shen Zengzhi and others all came ashore, and a master of ceremonies who walked in front shouted: "His Royal Highness King Gong of the Great Qing Dynasty has arrived!" ”

The voice of the master of ceremonies has not yet fallen, and the farce that was supposed to start in Fengtian was staged in Tianjin in advance. The old and young people hiding in the Tianjin Concession ran to Fu Wei from a distance and kowtowed, crying vigorously and slapping the ground, as if the Qing Dynasty died yesterday and Guangxu died this morning.

Just when the people were performing, Aoki Xuanchun, who had been in the Tianjin Concession, looked at Matsudaira Tsuneo and asked, "Why didn't Sun Yat-sen and Liang Zhuoru come, what can these wastes do?" ”

"Sun Yat-sen is bent on achieving a republic, how can the empire fund a republican government? Besides, his power in China, and even among overseas Chinese, are clear to the Yang family, what use can he be? Matsudaira Tsuneo said: "As for Mr. Liang Zhuoru. Mr. Kang talked to him several times, but Mr. Liang had his own opinions. Aoki-kun, he was originally a cunning person, and he came to Japan obviously to oppose the Yang family. But he said that he was for peace, and he clearly wanted to support the restoration of the Qing Dynasty, but he was afraid of failure and infamy. I think he will come back after we occupy the Kuang Fu Qing Room in Beijing. ”

"Meiji twenty-seven years. When we attacked the Qing Kingdom, we said that we wanted to support the Han Chamber, but now we want to support the Qing Chamber......" Aoki Xuanjun shook his head. "Matsudaira-kun, no Chinese will like us in this way."

"We don't need them to like, as long as they're afraid." Matsudaira Hengxiong didn't realize it, he saw that those foreign reporters were interviewing Fu Wei again, and said: "Today, the Imperial Army landed, and the Yang family was so angry that he split the table again, right?" ”

"Hehe," Aoki Jun preached: "You are really so impulsive when the Yang family, he, and King Min took the ministers to Qianmen Street to eat roast duck in the morning, as for now, it is said that they invited Taoist priests to do it, saying that they want to bring disaster to us." ”

"Haha!" Matsudaira Tsuneo laughed, he felt that there was nothing more interesting than this, the Imperial Army landed, and the people of China were still asking Taoist priests to do it, they would not shout invulnerability again.

Matsudaira Tsuneo laughed, on the wasteland outside Beijing, Zhang Yuanxu, a national teacher who returned from the United States, was dancing on a high platform, the peach wood sword waved, the rune paper burned one after another, after his last scream, the peach wood sword snapped into two, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and several delicate Yanmar serving next to him shouted in half-baked Chinese: "Master Fu, what's the end of the mud?" ”

After Zhang Yuanxu squirted blood, he waved his hand to stop these believers brought back from the United States from stepping forward, and then pulled out a prepared peachwood sword and began to swing it, and the scriptures in his mouth were chanted even louder, and after a tea kung fu, after a 'Taishang Laojun urgent order', the peachwood sword pointed in the direction of Tianjin, and an inexplicable flame rose from the front end of the wooden sword, and a slam flame flashed quickly and quickly extinguished.

"It took 30 years of cultivation to cultivate the poor road, and I will definitely ......give it to the Orientals" Zhang Yuanxu, who had received the credit, suddenly found that he was tired of dancing for a long time, and he didn't pronounce the lines correctly, so he had to change his words: "I must let the Japanese have no return." ”

After Zhang Yuanxu finished speaking, his body pretended to be overwhelmed, and Yanmar immediately went to help him down. Since the Taoist master finished casting the spell, he said that the Orientals had come and gone, and the crowd talked about it for a while, but they couldn't go up the city wall, so they had to look forward to the southeast, imagining that the Orientals were about to die.

The voice of the Taoist priest's practice reached the inner city, and Lieutenant General Lei Yizhen, commander of the East China Theater, heard it and ordered: "Inform Tao Dayong and Lin Songjian that the heavenly punishment can begin." ”

"Yes!" The adjutant shouted loudly and immediately spread the news.

Wuqing, more than 20 kilometers north of Tianjin, Tao Dayong and Lin Songjian couldn't wait for a long time, and they didn't know what was going on in the capital, so they wanted to ask the Taoist priest to do it, which was really inexplicable. How many people have been down? ”

"The Japanese are still disembarking. But it's almost over, because there is no labor. The soldiers were helping to unload supplies. The chief of staff once again repeated the previous order for airship reconnaissance, and then said: "Now is the right time. ”

The infantry commander muttered. Engineer Lieutenant General Lin Songjian just didn't hear it, he was just constantly thinking about the fit of each explosion, which was the most critical, and when he was stunned, the adjutant next to him stepped forward and said, "Commander, it's all connected." ”

"Hmm!" Lin Songjian nodded, "What about the tides?" Is it time? ”

"It's time!" The adjutant has long been ripe for the sad rolling melons of the tide, and this is the best time.

"Good! Let's get started! Lin Song waved his hand vigorously, and his expression was resolute like a stone carving.

The coast of Dagukou and the Haihe River were full of Japanese ships. Because the nearby laborers and villagers were persuaded by the government to leave, the accompanying materials had to be loaded and unloaded by the Japanese soldiers who had been on the boat all night. Although the work was hard, the Japanese army, with high morale, was still busy and happy to live at the thought that they would not be able to occupy Beijing in a few days. The captain of the 7th Division Engineer Brigade Noon Sato was at the Dagukou wharf at this time, looking at the unloaded explosives he was full of joy, a few months ago because of the tunnel blasting of the 433 highlands in Gaizhou, he was promoted to Dazuo, this time to capture the capital of China, the Chinese army is afraid that the tunnel blasting is indispensable under the strict defense.

Sato Daisa believed that tunnel blasting was the best way to break through the enemy's strong trenches. The defeat of the 433 Heights was not the failure of the tunnel blasting, but the dead Yamada Tiger gave the defenders too much time to kill the main peak in one go. Therefore, after the 433 offensive and defensive battle, he wrote a summary report. The report was of great concern to the General Staff Headquarters, but a large amount of explosives was required to carry out this tactic. This is something that the Japanese army cannot bear, and it is because of this decisive battle on the Zhili Plain. The command gave him only five tons of explosives, not the ten tons he applied for.

The soldiers on the dock were busy. In the consulate of the Japanese Concession in Tianjin, there was a staggered selection of chips, pushing cups and changing lamps, and King Gong Fu Wei took the initiative to meet the consuls of various countries without waiting for the consuls of various countries to visit; Consul General Tsuneo Matsudaira held a wine glass and frequently laughed and persuaded him to drink; The foreigners who went to the meeting were worried that the war would make Tianjin no longer prosperous, but now that Japan has landed on the shore and entered the city so lightly, their original hearts were suddenly relaxed.

Aoki Xuanchun looked at the happy crowd in the room, not interested at all, and the commander of the Tianjin garrison army next to him, Sato Gangjiro, saw that he was depressed, and immediately smiled: "Aoki-kun, shouldn't the Imperial Army occupy Tianjin if it is in order?" ”

"Even if you occupy the capital, there is nothing to be happy about." Aoki's extremely melancholy road.

With the demonstration of the strength of the Chinese army, more and more people in Japan began to reflect on the war, and the reason for their reflection was that they believed that China and Japan should unite against the West and compete with Westerners for colonies instead of fighting in the nest. According to the current strength comparison between China and Japan, Japan should be the leader of the alliance in Asia, and Japan will guide the future of Asia, and China can follow.

Such an idea could not be said to be wrong, but with Aoki's knowledge of China, he felt that it was completely different from those fantasistine megalomaniacs, who believed that within twenty years China would surpass Japan in all aspects, even the most confident navy in the Empire. This was his judgment, but he could not express this judgment, because he was helpless to see those who were vain about conquering China and turning China into a quasi-colony of Japan.

"After the occupation of Beijing, the current government of China will fall, and we will support the Qing family as emperor, and the people of China will be grateful to us." Gangjiro Sato said with great confidence: "The most important thing is that Britain supports this plan, and they will persuade the ministers of various countries to agree to this plan, and a too strong China is not in the interests of any country." ”

"China will fight the war to the end, China is not a Qing family, they will definitely retaliate!" In addition to being depressed, seeing that some people were still obsessed, Aoki Xuanjun couldn't help but scream, and the voice was so loud that the entire banquet could be heard.

Seeing that something was wrong with Aoki's side, Tsuneo Matsudaira, who was exchanging views with the Russian Consul General, said sorry and wanted to come over, but after only taking one step, he felt that the ground shook violently, and a dragon groan came from the east in the broken cup, and after the dragon groan, the ground trembled again, and there was a loud bang over there, and the heavens and the earth shook as if they were about to be turned upside down. The loud noises continued one after another, the ground shook continuously, the electric lights of the headlamps flashed a few times and went out, and everyone was at a loss, and some people were already shouting and stumbling out of the house.

"What's going on. Earthquakes? Matsudaira Tsuneo didn't know why, and his whole body trembled while holding his glasses.

He shouted an earthquake here. At noon on the pier of Dagukou, Sato Osaku only exclaimed Amaterasu. Under the moonlight, he saw the first dragon roar from the bottom of the sea two kilometers off the mouth of Dagu. After the dragon's groan, the huge waves surged, and the steamers parked outside the harbor were not restrained by the anchor chain and began to collide with each other, after the first dragon groan, there were two loud noises on the seabed closer to the mouth of Dagu, and the huge waves caused by the original dragon groan were pushed by the other two huge waves that were startled, not only rushing westward, but also higher waves.

The huge waves surged, the tide danced wildly, and the continuous loud noises on the bottom of the sea contributed to the formation of a huge tsunami outside the mouth of Dagu. The huge waves tens of meters high constantly overturned all the merchant warships in the vicinity, and even carried these merchant warships to the west, and the Japanese soldiers working on the docks saw such a mighty tsunami, and many people fell to their knees while standing on the spot.

The tsunami finally hit the Dagukou wharf, and the waves, which were originally tens of meters high, soared up nearly 100 meters, and the ship toys wrapped in the waves were generally thrown ashore, bulldozing the obstacles in an instant. After coming ashore, the waves were still majestic, and the waves were rushing along the Haihe River towards the city of Tianjin, forty miles away. Soon after landing on the river bank, the Japanese soldiers watched the huge waves come sadly, but they were unstoppable and unavoidable, so they could only die upright. Then the guns, cannons, baggage, and supplies were swept up by the huge waves and rushed westward.

The city of Tianjin is getting closer and closer, and the Germans at the outermost edge of the concession have long been alarmed by the strange situation at the mouth of Dagu, under the white moonlight. Many people stood on the top of the building and watched the huge waves coming, but waited for the white line to come closer. The huge waves had run out of energy, and the front wave gently patted the outer edge of the concession and retreated. Only the Haihe River, which leads to the sea, because the resistance is smaller, the huge waves on the river surface have been pushed to the bottom of Tianjin, and only after hitting the city wall have they gradually stopped the waves and retreated into the sea.

The mighty waves retreated ashore, and the same was true when they retracted into the sea, and those Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough not to die in the waves felt the momentum of moving forward violently, and their bodies began to retreat sharply again, and they were swept down into the sea by the huge waves and disappeared without a trace.

Just when the people in Tianjin City were panicking and didn't know why, Major General Cui Chaoqing of the Special Operations Department on the airship over Tianjin was just thinking about his beard and being complacent, especially when he saw that the huge waves rolled up to the concession and stopped, and the smile on his face was even more cheerful. The tsunami at the bottom is the result of countless mathematical calculations, of course, the tsunami can be created because of the application of the principle of shaped charge mentioned by Yang Rui, this shaped charge was originally used for bazookas, and the Special Operations Department borrowed it, and used a merchant ship full of explosives to arrange an arc-shaped blasting circle on the seabed off the mouth of Dagu in accordance with the principle of shaped charge, the opening of the arc is facing the mouth of Dagu, after the first explosion at the bottom of the arc stirs up a huge wave, more explosions strengthen it, and after the layer of addition, When the huge wave advanced to the mouth of Dagu, it was already as high as 60 meters, and then the entire Japanese army and a man-made object in the coastal area were destroyed instantly, and after the huge wave retreated to the bottom of the sea, both sides of the Haihe River were already an ocean. At this time, the water surface was extremely calm under the moonlight, and the qiē that happened half an hour ago seemed to have never happened.

"Report it back to the General Staff, a qiēshun lì, and there are no incidental casualties." Major General Cui Chaoqing admonished.

"Yes, sir!" The adjutant who accompanied Cui Chaoqing to see the tsunami had a dry voice, and he had always had doubts about the teaching craftsman in front of him becoming a major general, but today this qiē made him admire the five bodies.

"Go! What are you doing in a daze. Cui Chaoqing looked at the adjutant standing and didn't leave, very strange, "The emperor, the prime minister, and others are in a hurry, so go and generate electricity." And inform the captain that we should go back too. ”

Ten minutes later, Li Zilong received a call from the General Staff and said to Yang Rui, who was reading a book: "Prime Minister, the operation was successful, the Japanese army suffered countless casualties, and there was no collateral damage, and the concession was not damaged. ”

"Good!" Yang Rui was actually waiting for the results of the action, and after he put down the book, he said, "Give... Call Wang Xiaolin's side, and immediately notify the printing houses in various places to start printing, and to spread the news of the Japanese army's punishment to every county town, as well as to make a recorded film, and copy it as quickly as possible, so that the people of the whole country can see it as soon as possible.
