Expedition to Europe

The Yasukuni Shrine quietly became the Lanfang General Headquarters in Japan, and did not cause much disturbance in Japan.

Yes, even Japan's defeat and cession of territory and compensation can be accepted, what else is unacceptable?

I don't know what Emperor Taisho thinks about this, because Qin Haoge has not visited Emperor Taisho since he went to Japan. Since he went to the Yasukuni Shrine, he returned to the Lanfang Navy destroyer anchored in Tokyo Bay, and did not give Emperor Taisho a chance to visit.

There was also some movement. On the night when the Lanfang Marine Corps entered the Yasukuni Shrine and started construction, six monks hanged themselves in the woods in front of the Yasukuni Shrine, which was considered to be buried for the Yasukuni Shrine.

These monks are all inherited from their ancestors. For other people, the Yasukuni Shrine is a temple and a place to express grief, but for these monks, the Yasukuni Shrine is their home. Their ancestors have lived in the Yasukuni Shrine for generations. Now they are kicked out, and these monks are indeed homeless.

The Lanfang Marine Corps didn't care about these desperate acts of suicide. Even though the bodies were not far from the Yasukuni Shrine - no, not far from the entrance of the Lanfang Headquarters in Japan, no one went to deal with the aftermath. In the end, the governor of Tokyo brought a few people to get those monks down and buried them hastily.

By the way, Lanfang built a lot of buildings in the headquarters in Japan, but more of the work was done by the Japanese.

Tokyo is now almost devastated. The government departments are unable to organize, let alone disaster relief. So the Lanfang Headquarters in Japan hung up a sign and hired thousands of relatively strong Japanese with extremely meager salaries and a little food to carry out the demolition work and build a new Lanfang Headquarters in Japan.

It has to be said that Japan is really a society that worships the strong. The Japanese are extremely servile. As long as someone is stronger than them, they will obey unconditionally and completely, without any resistance at all.

The Japanese hired by Lan Fang were paid only half a Lan Fang Yuan a day, and they were provided with breakfast and dinner, each meal was rice and dried fish. These conditions alone attracted many Tokyo residents.

Yes, pre-war Japan was indeed a powerful country, but the power of Japan was only on the surface. It might be a bit too much to describe ordinary Japanese working people as having no clothes to cover their bodies and eating coarse food, but they were not worried about food and clothing.

Japan's power was based on the cruel exploitation of its own people, so ordinary people living in Japan, especially in big cities like Tokyo, were under great pressure. They were in an extremely tense state both mentally and in terms of work intensity, so many Japanese would behave so crazy once they arrived in a place where they did not need to take into account the rules.

Lan Fang had now met their basic needs. Regardless of whether the food was good or not, they could still provide enough food.

This simple "providing enough food" was enough to make Tokyo residents grateful. Even when Japan was at its most powerful, many Tokyo residents had never filled their stomachs.

Moreover, the attitude of these Marines towards these Tokyo laborers was quite good. They did not beat or kick them, nor did they deliberately insult them. Every time they ate, as long as conditions allowed, the soldiers responsible for distributing food would always give a little more. Even when everyone was full, if there was any left, they would leave it there for anyone to take at will.

With such a simple act, they quickly won the hearts of many Tokyo laborers.

These laborers also had families and children. Although they had a full stomach, their wives and children at home were still hungry. It was of course the best to have some food and some to take.

So in just three days, the former Yasukuni Shrine was completely demolished except for the gate, and then a piece of Lan Fang-style wooden houses quickly rose from the ground, almost one day a day, and the progress was very rapid.

Qin Zhiyuan had no mind to pay attention to what happened in Tokyo, and he didn't want to pay attention to it. Qin Zhiyuan was recently annoyed by the Koreans.

In fact, in March this year, Goryeo had erupted in the "March 1st Movement" demanding independence. The fuse of this movement was that Gojong Lee Hee of Goryeo died suddenly in Japan. According to the official Japanese statement, Gojong Lee Hee died of cerebral congestion, but the Goryeo people generally believed that Gojong Lee Hee did not die of cerebral congestion, but was poisoned by the Japanese.

No matter how Gojong Lee Hee died, when Gojong Lee Hee died, the Japanese side announced in a very high-profile manner that it would use the ancient Japanese ritual to hold a state funeral for Gojong Lee Hee on March 3, which made the Goryeo people extremely angry and then evolved into the fuse of the "March 1st Movement".

Goryeo's "March 1st Movement" is similar to the Indian "non-violent non-cooperation", and the focus is on "non-violence".

I have to admire the naivety of the Goryeo people. You have already demanded independence, and you still hope that the Japanese will agree peacefully?

This is not the way to do it even in dreams.

So the "March 1st Movement" failed as expected.

After the failure of the March 1st Movement, the leaders of the March 1st Movement fled abroad and formed several coalition governments to lead the anti-Japanese movement in Goryeo. In Shanghai, the leader was Kim Gu of the Andong Kim family in Goryeo, and in the United States, the leader was Syngman Rhee, a student of Wilson.

At this time, people in Goryeo were not united, and several governments coexisted at the same time. The Republic of China was the United Government of the Republic of Korea, the Hawaiian Provisional Government was the Korean Government, and there was another provisional government in Goryeo.

However, these provisional governments unanimously recommended Syngman Rhee as the Prime Minister, probably because they saw that Syngman Rhee had always had a good relationship with the Americans.

Of course, this "good" was only what the Koreans thought. In fact, the relationship between the Koreans and the Americans was not good. Just before the Paris Peace Conference, Syngman Rhee wrote to US President Wilson, proposing to participate in the Paris Peace Conference in the name of Korea. Unfortunately, Wilson was concerned about Asian policies and relations with Japan, and did not agree on the grounds that Korea was a vassal state of Japan.

In the face of national interests, Wilson ruthlessly abandoned the Koreans.

Then Syngman Rhee was not discouraged. After the death of Emperor Gojong Lee Hee, Syngman Rhee wrote to Wilson again. This time, his attitude was lower. Syngman Rhee proposed that as long as Korea could be independent, Korea would agree to be placed under the League of Nations mandate.

This is simply treason.

This time, the letter also fell on deaf ears. Syngman Rhee was unwilling to fail, and publicly announced the matter to the media, trying to use the power of the media to put pressure on Wilson.

It didn't matter. Wilson was in Europe at the time. Wilson's proposal on "national self-determination" in the "Fourteen Points" seriously hurt the interests of Britain and France, so Wilson had no intention of paying attention to Lee Seung-man.

It was so childish and ridiculous.

After Lan Fang declared war on Japan, there was a period of time when Kim Gu and Lee Seung-man also cheered. Several governments in Goryeo almost declared war on Japan at the first time, and prepared to form a Korean People's Coalition Army to follow the Lan Fang army to attack Goryeo.

But it was just talk. First, there was no money, and second, no one. Who would follow you...

After Japan surrendered, Kim Gu and Lee Seung-man seemed to see the dawn of independence. They came to Lan Fang at the same time hoping to visit Qin Zhiyuan to seek Goryeo's independence.

The original text can be read in Liu # 9 @Book/Bar!

Visit Qin Zhiyuan?

Don't be funny. If Qin Zhiyuan had time, he would rather accompany his wife to coax his son than pay attention to Kim Gu and Lee Seung-man.

In the "Coconut City Treaty", Japan has already ceded Goryeo to Lan Fang. Why should Lan Fang let you Goryeo be independent? Is it just because you Goryeo people ask for it?

What a joke, if someone asks to be the king of Lan Fang, does Qin Zhiyuan have to play a descent?

For such a person, Qin Zhiyuan certainly won't pay attention, and letting Lu Zhengxiang come out to receive him is already a face-giving.

But Kim Gu and Lee Seung-man are obviously determined not to give up until they achieve their goals. Asking to see Qin Zhiyuan failed, Kim Gu and Lee Seung-man even moved a stool and sat in front of the palace gate of Penglai Island all day long, waiting to meet Qin Zhiyuan to write a petition.

If it were just Kim Gu and Lee Seung-man, it would actually be easy to deal with, just send them back to Goryeo, but the problem is that Lee Seung-man has a very good relationship with the American media. Right next to Lee Seung-man and Kim Gu, there are several Western media reporters trying to get exclusive news, which makes Dong Xingxiu, who is responsible for the security of the palace, very worried.

They couldn't beat them or scold them. Lee Seung-man and Kim Gu didn't make a big noise. They just stood at the gate of the palace with a sign like the professional petitioners in the 21st century, which made Qin Zhiyuan dare not go out.

"Your Majesty, I might as well find a few people tonight to kill these two blind bastards." Dong Xingxiu was ready to cut the grass and root them out.

"It's useless. Do you think there are only two of them? If you kill these two today, there will be 20 of them tomorrow. These two people can also get the reputation of "national heroes". It's worth it." Qin Zhiyuan disagreed.

At this time, the Republic of China, Goryeo, Japan, and Annan were actually considered to be the Chinese cultural circle. The concept of reincarnation was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Death was really not an unacceptable thing for East Asians, but the beginning of another life.

It's better to die early and reincarnate early. Maybe you can be reborn into a good family in the next life and don't have to endure such torment.

"We can't just let them block the door like this, it won't look good." Dong Xingxiu was worried.

"If you know it won't look good, call them in. I'll listen to what they want to say." Qin Zhiyuan made up his mind.

In this world, there are still universal values. If Goryeo becomes independent, Lan Fang will certainly be the biggest victim, but if he ignores the voices of the Goryeo people, Qin Zhiyuan will inevitably be known as "indifferent".

Yes, although Kim Gu and Lee Seung-man are just two people, in the eyes of many people, they represent all Goryeo people.
