Cai Bixia used the conventions of international law at that time to defeat the Japanese army. At that time, there was no United Nations, not even the League of Nations, and the so-called international law had no shadow at all.
However, international conventions must still be followed. Although the world respects the strong, the strong cannot fight and kill every day and use force for everything.
Then they also hope that there will be an order, which is international practice that everyone abides by on the surface, and whoever violates it will be condemned and punished.
After all, the existence of international customs and international law is also a way for the powers to balance. This is a buffer zone that can greatly reduce the outbreak of conflicts between the powers.
After all, no matter how powerful a country is, it knows that wars are risky, and wars cost money. You can't go to war just for the sake of trivial matters.
The treaties signed between Great Britain, France and other powers and the Qing Empire were all won with foreign guns and cannons, but the Great Britain and France couldn't just attack the emperor whenever he came to power, right?
Their demand is that when you succeed the Qing emperor, your legal rights must be clean, that is, the next one must completely protect the previous treaty.
In the final analysis, the big powers took advantage of the treaty. If the treaty was a disadvantage, they would not ask for protection!
There is no problem with inheritance from father to son. Why do all European countries recognize the legal status of Emperor Tongzhi? Because the legitimacy of Emperor Tongzhi was recognized, the legitimacy of the treaties signed by Emperor Xianfeng was also guaranteed.
Therefore, Zai Chun did not need to give gifts to the foreign devils. The foreign devils still had to give him gifts in Europe, because this was a matter of interest, and the foreign devils had to take the initiative to recognize Zai Chun's legitimacy.
Think about Xiao Letian's previous life. What was the origin of the Boxing Movement? Why did the Eight-Nation Allied Forces march into the capital? The root of the problem lies in the conflict between Cixi and foreigners.
And why do foreigners have conflicts with Cixi? Because Cixi imprisoned Emperor Guangxu!
And Emperor Guangxu was the legitimate emperor of the Qing Dynasty recognized by the foreign devils, because Emperor Guangxu protected the legality of all treaties with the foreign devils, and this was all linked together.
Cixi's imprisonment of Emperor Guangxu increased the risk to foreign interests in China, so they must protest!
But Cixi, an old woman, didn't know the truth behind this. She thought that these foreign devils really wanted to support Guangxu. Naturally, she was afraid, so she used the hands of the Boxers to suppress the foreign devils, until the Eight Kingdoms broke out in the end. The tragic history of the coalition invasion.
In fact, if Cixi, an old woman, understood a little bit of truth at that time and secretly made some promises to the foreign devils, it would be impossible for the foreign devils to fall out with the Qing Dynasty because of Guangxu.
But it's a pity that these old ladies just don't understand this truth, and instead stimulate the situation to gradually become more serious!
Now that the Japanese Six came to power through civil war, it actually increased the danger of foreign contracts. Regardless of whether there was a secret agreement or not, Cai Bixia was clinging to this point today.
Will you Yixin kill Emperor Tongzhi? If you kill Emperor Tongzhi, your legal rationality will be gone. You are a traitor to the Qing Dynasty. You even killed Xianfeng's son. You are trying to overturn the fate of Xianfeng and Tongzhi!
You just want to deny all the policies of the Xianfeng and Tongzhi dynasties!
I disgust you, my aunt, I disgust you to death. This is the power of Cai Bixia. I don’t care if you have any secret agreement or not. I will set up this banner first so that you will not dare to kill Zai Chun!
No matter how bad the Xianfeng and Tongzhi dynasties were, they still ruled the Qing Dynasty for decades. Many forces came into being in the hands of these two emperors!
Britain, France, the United States, Tsarist Russia, Germany...many treaties between the great powers were signed by these two emperors!
This delicate balance between the Hunan Army Group and the Chinese forces was also established by these two!
Even the border guard regiment left by Zuo Zongtang in the Western Regions Province was established by the two emperors Xianfeng and Tongzhi!
A country is composed of all people, and all people form a community of different interests, which is called a power. Among them, the powerful power has an influence no less than that of the imperial court.
Some have guns, some have money, and some have fame. They and the emperor test each other and influence each other. I am loyal to you, and you give me some promises.
These are some invisible and explicit 'contracts'!
Whoever signed it will protect these things. Once the emperor who signed these invisible and explicit provisions is overthrown, will everyone in the world be in danger?
Who knows what kind of temper this new master has? Do previous commitments still count?
That’s right! At this critical moment when people are in chaos, Cai Bixia will be doing her best in the snail shell!
"You Japs 6 killed Emperor Tongzhi. You just want to deny all the policies of the Xianfeng and Tongzhi dynasties... Kill one of them and let me see!"
"Let's see what the people in the world will think of you! How can you rule this country if you are separated from your heart?"
"Just go and be a loner!"
Cai Bixia simply made it clear. Guiziliu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he was about to explode with anger!
This matter is really difficult to handle. Guiziliu knows that if he doesn't accept Cai Bixia's suppression, he will be in real trouble. Even if he can pass the test in the end, he will have to negotiate with each force again.
Because the Chinese have so much say, especially in Jiangnan, almost all newspapers are under the control of the Chinese. If he scolds you, you can't talk back.
But let Emperor Tongzhi survive? Let this emperor, recognized by all nations, live? Isn't this a time bomb?
In fact, the best result is to be burned to death like Emperor Jianwen and disappear alive, then there will be no trouble at all.
But who would have thought that Zai Chun, a little bastard, would be so loyal in the end, protecting him and escaping. Otherwise, there would be a big fire at Taihemen, and Zai Chun would have returned to the underworld.
Faced with Cai Bixia's strong pressure, Guiziliu took a deep breath, "Ah... Mr. Cai defeated my army! I can't give you a clear answer to what you said..."
"But I promise that I will give the Chinese an answer as soon as possible... Regarding Zaichun, I sincerely wish him well! I want to negotiate with him, but he refuses to talk to me now!"
"Let's do this... I will send an envoy to talk to His Majesty... Well... Old man... Come here, old man..."
After saying that, the Japanese army waved to Weng Tonghe, who was hiding behind the crowd, forcing the old man to step out. When Cai Bixia saw Weng Tonghe, instead of being angry, he actually laughed.
"Haha...hahaha...Master Weng...isn't this the Imperial Master?"
The words "Emperor Master" made the old man so embarrassed that his face turned red and he wanted to find a crack in the brick to crawl in!
No one in the official circles of the late Qing Dynasty was thin-skinned, they were all thick-hearted old fritters, and ordinary ridicule was indifferent to them.
But the woman's taunting was different from that of the man. The old man still had some sense of shame. He ignored Cai Bixia's teasing and just kowtowed respectfully to the Japanese.
"Old man! How about you go for a walk for me, meet Zaichun, and tell me what I think..."
The Japs had not finished speaking six words. At this moment, a group of people came to the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The eldest brother took Ronglu and others back to the palace.
