Narrator:/kloc-At the end of 0/9, after the Meiji Restoration, Japan's national strength was strong. In order to solve various complicated domestic contradictions, the aggressive Japanese ruling group extended its claws to his former teacher, China. Launched a criminal war aimed at embezzling land and plundering wealth ... Scene 1: Peaceful tone: Li Hongzhang, Empress Dowager Cixi, Zuo, Ye Zhichao and others Location: West Nuan Pavilion of Kunning Palace Time: 1894 Xia Hongzhang: Report to the Empress Dowager, China and Japan started a war, and the war ahead was tight, and the naval yamen came up to play, demanding that the naval military expenditure be increased for the war. Cixi: Oh, then dial some. Li Hongzhang: Yes, but some time ago, the reparations of various countries have just been paid off, and the national treasury is extremely nervous. The minister of the navy pleaded ... defense ... (Li Hongzhang hesitated, hesitated, and looked reluctant) Cixi: What do you want? Li Hongzhang: Could you ask the Queen Mother to temporarily allocate the expenses for the 60th birthday celebration and the maintenance of the Summer Palace? Cixi: What? (suddenly opening her narrowed eyes) Throw away the money! Hum! (Stand up, cross back and forth, stand with your back to Li Hongzhang) I finally have a birthday party, and now it's my idea! Tell them it's impossible, whoever makes me unhappy today, I'll make him unhappy all his life! (Frowns) If you can make peace with Japan, I don't want to let me lose my good mood then! Li Hongzhang: Yes, Empress Dowager, I will do it! (Slowly Exit) (Tianjin Beiyang Minister Yamen Room) Li Hongzhang: Generals, although China and Japan are at war, peace is still the most important thing. International friends are helping us mediate. You'd better not call if you can. At present, keep the bureau before making progress, what's more, Lafayette will hold a "birthday celebration" in a few days. At this juncture, we don't want to ruin her old man's good mood! Zuo Guibao, Ye Zhichao and others: Yes, my Lord! (Chorus) Act II: The Lost in Pyongyang: Ye Zhichao, Zuo Soldier A Location: Pyongyang, North Korea Time: 1894 Summer (gunfire suddenly tightened outside the wall, shouting and killing sound one after another) Soldier A: General Zuo, the Japanese army has surrounded Pyongyang in many ways, and the situation is critical! Left: Come on, follow me up the wall to meet the enemy. (Hurriedly leaving the camp) (There were many dead bodies on the wall, and many places were hit by shells) Left: All ministries listened to orders, concentrated their firepower and fired at the Japanese army! ..... ah! Fuoco! ..... ah! (He fell down in pain, and the wall brick was red with blood) Soldier A: General Zuo, General Zuo ... (Crying) Soldier A: (Running to Ye Zhichao's camp) General Ye, General Zuo, why ... He ... He's dead! Ye Zhichao: Ah! It seems that this city is untenable! Come on! Let's retreat from the back door! Narrator: running all the way, Ye Zhichao, traveled five hundred miles at night; No wonder I dared to catch my breath until I fled to the Yalu River. At that time, the people said, "Civil servants have three hands, military officers have four feet, and all four feet have flown away, and they are afraid of being caught." Act III: Captives in the Yellow Sea: Ding Deng Shichang Soldier B Li Hongzhang Location: Soldier B in the Yellow Sea: Report to the prefect that the front of our army was attacked by a Japanese ship. D: OK, give the order and get ready for battle! Narrator: In the fierce battle, Zhiyuan was hit, the ammunition was exhausted and the hull was tilted. Soldier B: Lord Deng, we have been hit! Deng Shichang: Fight back! Hit hard! Soldier B: Lord Deng, we have no shells! Deng Shichang: What! No shells? ! (Glaring at Japanese Yoshino) Good! Then we will die with them! Give the order, accelerate with all your strength, and aim at the Yoshino ship! (Make a turntable with both hands) Soldier B: (With tears in his eyes, but a firm expression) Yes! My Lord! Narrator: Just as Zhiyuan rushed to the enemy ship, it was unfortunately hit by an enemy torpedo, and more than 240 soldiers of the whole ship sank into the sea with the ship! Ding (Tianjin Beiyang Minister Yamen): Our main hall, our company Zhiyuan and Jingyuan were all sunk (quietly), but the Japanese fleet also suffered heavy losses. I request that the rest of the Beiyang ships be ordered to meet the enemy together. Li Hongzhang: No! Our army suffered heavy casualties and should have a good rest. I order you to drive beiyang fleet into Ahava and forbid you to go out to sea to meet them. Disobeying orders, winning is a crime! D: Yes (very wronged, shaking his head helplessly, quitting) Narrator: In this way, because of Li Hongzhang's policy of avoiding war and protecting himself, Japan easily won the sea control right of the Yellow Sea. So that this so-called Asia's strongest beiyang fleet was completely annihilated in the subsequent ahava War! Act IV: Narrator: The Beiyang Navy was completely annihilated in Weihai World War I, and the Japanese army pointed directly at Beijing and Tianjin. The Qing government hurriedly sent Li Hongzhang to Shimonoseki, Japan, as a first-class plenipotentiary. Character: Li Hongzhang Ito Bowen Time:1April, 895 Location; The Chunfan Building in Shimonoseki, Japan (Japanese Prime Minister Hirofumi Ito presented a long text of 1 1 including compensation for the Japanese military expenditure of 22,000 taels of silver and occupation of the island of Taiwan Province Province. And motioned for Li Hongzhang to sign. Li Hongzhang was shocked after reading it. ) Li: Please allow me to outline my opinion. First of all, the compensation of 22,000 yuan is too huge for our country today to bear. Can you reduce it any more? I: If it has been made clear, this memorandum was drafted after minimizing it, and there is no room for further reduction. Please understand. If the war continues in the future, the amount of compensation will not stop there. Li: As detailed in our first reply, your estimated expenditure is far below 22,000 pounds. In today's harsh conditions, it is difficult for China to bear such a huge sum of money by itself, and it has to borrow foreign debts. There are a lot of foreign debts and huge principal and interest. China's financial resources to actually repay this debt free of charge. Me: I dare not agree with you abruptly. Your country is vast in territory and abundant in resources, with a large population and rich wealth. Li: Although China is rich in resources, it has not been developed yet, and there is nothing we can do. I: Your country has a large population, exceeding 400 million, ten times more than ours. If you want to develop rich resources, it's easy. Li: Although there are many adults in the country, there is nothing anyone can do! Me: When the country is struggling, there are many heroes, even people in charge of state affairs. Can be used to open source. Li: (smiling) I want to give some advice to our country. How about hiring you as the prime minister of our country? Me: (also smiling) I have dedicated my whole body to the emperor of our country. With your permission, I will not refuse to do my best for your country at any time. Li: Today, China is in a very difficult period. I hope everyone will give me full sympathy and understanding. Even if a peace treaty can be concluded now, the amount of compensation will be so huge that it will be known to the world immediately. Foreign capitalists will take advantage of China's difficulties and covet very high profits. By then, China will surely fall into a more difficult situation. Me: I can't talk from my standpoint. Li: Of course. On the other hand, if the contract is irrevocable, otherwise our country will become the defaulting party that fails to perform the treaty, which will surely arouse your country to fight again on the grounds of breach of contract. Therefore, before such misfortune happens, we can't stop begging you to lighten the conditions. I sincerely hope that you will consider the situation in our country and then think about it. I: Once the treaty is concluded, your country can't help but earnestly implement it. If you break your promise, we will resort to force again if necessary. Of course, this possibility is not ruled out. Li: It is precisely because of this that I have to ask you to take lenient measures to lower the conditions to the level that our country can achieve today. I: The terms of this memorandum have been fully considered in your country, and have been lightened as much as possible, so no further reduction is allowed. Today, but there are two words: agree and disagree! Li: Your country won and ours lost. The winner's request, no matter what the conditions, the loser will obey. However, it is beyond our endurance to guide our country with such harsh conditions. I: In that case, we should send troops to Taiwan Province Province. When I give the order, there will be sixty or seventy transport ships, carrying an army of reinforcements, heading for the battle site one after another. At that time, the danger in Beijing will be unimaginable! Li: There is a strong miasma on the platform. In the past, Japanese soldiers were in Taiwan Province, and there were many casualties. Most people in Taiwan Province smoke opium to avoid miasma. I'm afraid your army won't last long. I: But I will ban opium in the future. Li: People in Taiwan Province have been smoking for a long time. I: Before opium came out, there were already residents in Taiwan Province Province. Opium import in Japan is strictly prohibited, so there are no smokers. Li: Taiwan Province Province is already in your mouth. What are you worried about? Me: I haven't swallowed it yet. I am so hungry! (Li Moran, then signed with a pen) (After the negotiation, Li Hongzhang shook hands with Hirofumi Ito and said goodbye, once again demanding a substantial reduction in compensation. Ito shakes his head) I: send you a couplet: "There is no phase inside, no generals outside, and you have to do it." (Laughing at Li's reaction, Li turned pale) Li: I was right: "Heaven never shuts one door but the earth never shuts another. This is a measure of the English system. " (easy to break up with a smile. ) Narrator: When the news of the signing of treaty of shimonoseki came, the whole country was in an uproar, and everyone opposed separatism and peace talks. The people of Taiwan Province Province shouted: "May everyone die in the battlefield, lose Taiwan Province, and never give up Taiwan Province!" From then on, the people of Taiwan Province Province fought bravely against Taiwan Province's cutting platform until they recovered Taiwan Province! I hope it will be helpful to you after the performance, and I hope it can be adopted. Your adoption will be our motivation to answer questions.
