Just as Pu Wei and his group headed south from Xi'an, another emperor Pu Jun, who had already gained a foothold in the south, broke out again. First, Song Shou, the former important minister of the Qing court, announced his resignation and returned to his hometown.

This news is quite amazing. It caused great shock among the governors and governors in the south. Although Songshou is not a young man, he is far from old enough to resign. Now he suddenly retires and returns to his hometown. It is obviously not a normal phenomenon. Moreover, the governors and governors in the south are all old foxes, so he doesn't understand what's going on. Don't think about it. It's definitely because Pu Jun forced him to resign. And it's easy to make up for the causes and consequences.

Fujian Province is Songshou's territory, and Pu Jun also has his own team. Therefore, Pu Jun became emperor in Fujian. Although Songshou supported him, the two sides obviously had conflicts for uneven distribution of power. But Pu Jun was supported by Japanese behind him. In this power struggle, Songshou was obviously not an opponent, and he was forced to resign and return home.

However, Songshou was an important official who supported Pu Jun as the emperor, and the contribution of supporting Cong Long was extraordinary. In a sense, he had a recreation of Pu Jun. Moreover, Pu Jun has only been elected as emperor for a few days now. Even if Pu Jun dislikes Songshou again, he can just give him a high-ranking position and offer him a false position. That would make it possible to completely drive Songshou away. Although the governors and governors did not really expect Pu Jun to do anything, they did not expect that although Pu Jun was not old, he was so mean and ruthless and ruthless.

A few days later, Pu Jun ordered to rent Taizhou Prefecture and Wenzhou Prefecture in Zhejiang Province to Japan for a period of 99 years. At the same time, he ordered Zhou Fu to go through the handover procedures to Zhejiang, requiring Zhou Fu to go through the handover procedures immediately.

As soon as the news came out, public opinion suddenly became very popular. No one expected that Pu Jun was not only mean and ruthless, but was even so shameless that he was so shameless that he was selling his country for honor. Although everyone knew that Pu Jun was able to be emperor mainly relied on the support of Japan. Therefore, after Pu Jun became emperor, he would definitely give up Japan heavily, but the land was directly ceded, although it was a lease in fame, but the lease period was 99 years, which was actually a cedent. I am afraid that only the son emperor Shi Jingtang could do it.

It turned out that Zai Yi, Zai Lan and others persuaded Song Shou to support Pu Jun as emperor. The condition offered by Song Shou was that Japan could not be involved in Fujian affairs and could only send Pu Jun to the port, but except for a few consultants, other Japanese troops were prohibited from landing. In order to promote Pu Jun to the throne, Japan also agreed to Song Shou's request. Anyway, Pu Jun was pushed to the throne first, and it would be easy to deal with just one Song Shou.

Seeing that Japan accepted its own conditions, Matsushou invited Pu Jun to Fuzhou. Japan was indeed trustworthy and did not send anyone to the shore. It was handed over at the dock. However, more than 100 people were sent to make the makeup and Pu Jun's entourage to go ashore. After all, Pu Jun is the son of the prince, and it is common for him to take 180 people with him. Matsushou didn't care at all.

It was known that although Pu Jun had become emperor, he did not get recognized by the governor of the South, so Zai Yi was also very anxious. He believed that this was because Song Shou prevented the Japanese from sending troops to Fuzhou and could not develop enough power to other governors, so he was also a little dissatisfied with Song Shou.

At this moment, Pu Wei proclaimed himself emperor in Xi'an, and the two sides had several rounds of orthodox battles. Not only Zai Yi, but even the Japanese side were a little anxious, because after Pu Wei became emperor, Pu Jun was no longer the only heir to the orthodox Qing court, and he did not have an advantage in the Daming Controversy. Moreover, in terms of qualifications and personal reputation, Pu Jun was far inferior to Pu Wei. Pu Jun was only relatives such as Zai Yi, Zai Lan, Zaixun, and Pu Wei was surrounded by a large group of royal bannermen. It can be said that the last elites of the Qing court were basically concentrated around Pu Wei. In addition, Pu Wei also had support from Britain, France and other countries. Therefore, over time, Pu Jun might not be able to compete with Pu Wei.

Japan's goal of supporting Pu Jun to the throne was naturally to gain more benefits in China. Originally, Japan wanted to stabilize first, slowly penetrate, and slowly plan to do so. Anyway, with Pu Jun in his hands, he was not afraid of long nights and dreaming too much. However, Pu Wei's proclaimed emperor disrupted Japan's plan, so the Japanese side believed that he could not wait slowly. If Pu Wei went to the south and really integrated the governors and governors of the south, it would be difficult to deal with. It is necessary to define his own interests in China as soon as possible, and create established facts, so that he can play with Pu Wei in the future.

Zai Yi naturally wanted Japanese forces to enter Fuzhou, so that he could use Japanese forces to suppress the governor and confront Pu Wei, but Songshou refused to allow Japanese forces to enter Fujian. In fact, Songshou had regretted it at this time. If he had known that Pu Wei and others were still there, he would never have welcomed Pu Jun. After all, in terms of personal reputation and blood relationship with the royal family, Pu Wei would be much stronger than Pu Jun. Therefore, Songshou also wanted to wait for Pu Wei to arrive in the south, so he advised Pu Jun to cancel the imperial title and submit to Pu Wei. At this time, naturally, he would not let Japanese forces enter Fujian.

So the Japanese side consulted Zai Yi and decided to get rid of Songshou. Zai Yi had no knowledge of it, so she agreed immediately. In fact, after Pu Jun became emperor, Japan sent a large number of spies to Fuzhou City. In addition, with the entourage dressed as Pu Jun, he also gathered 3,400 people, hid the army in a merchant ship and berthed in Fuzhou Port. At night, both sides worked together and raided Fuzhou City, occupying the Governor's Office, and under house arrest. It was just to successfully control the entire Fujian Province that Songshou was left with one life.

At this point, Songshou had no choice but to announce his resignation and hand over the military and political power of Fujian Province to Zai Yi. Therefore, the Pujun regime completely controlled Fujian Province and immediately opened Fujian Province to Japan. Japanese goods could be exempted from tariffs when entering Fujian, and they had the power to invest in and build factories and mine minerals in Fujian.

But Japan's appetite is not something that a Fujian province can satisfy. Moreover, Fujian is mountainous and has little output. Except for a few coastal cities, most places have relatively backward economies. It is not a wealthy province in the south. Japan's benefits in Fujian are limited and far from meeting Japan's needs. After all, Japan was greatly damaged in the Far East War, and it did not have as vast territory and abundant resources as Russia, so Japan can only rely on external plunder. Therefore, it is far from enough to grab Fujian Province, and it also needs further expansion.

However, the east of Fujian is the Taiwan Strait and the south of Guangdong, which is the British sphere of influence. Although this time, Pu Jun was supported by the British emperor, Japan did not dare to blatantly occupy the British sphere of influence; while Jiangxi Province to the west is Yuan Shikai's territory. It is said that Japan and Yuan Shikai have had many dealings and have fought several times. Both sides have won and lost each other. In fact, Japan has not taken much from Yuan Shikai, so it is well aware that Yuan Shikai is not easy to deal with. Moreover, Yuan Shikai is now holding heavy troops and has strong strength. Japan has just established its own sphere of influence in Fujian. The support it can provide is limited, so it is not daring to expand to Jiangxi easily.

The only direction in which Japan can expand is actually Zhejiang Province in the north, and Zhejiang Province is also the jurisdiction of the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. However, Zhejiang Province is connected to Shanghai, which is not an ideal direction of expansion. But now Japan has no other way, because Britain and France have put pressure on Japan to support Pu Jun and proclaim themselves emperor, suspending economic support to Japan, and the United States has also reduced economic support to Japan, and Japan can only make up for it from China.

However, Japan is indeed afraid of provoking the East China Government, so it only dares to target Wenzhou and Taizhou governments, so it can avoid direct bordering with the East China Government. However, Wenzhou Prefecture and Taizhou Prefecture are both wealthy places. If they can occupy these two governments, it will be of great benefit to Japan. So in the name of Pu Jun, the Wenzhou Prefecture and Taizhou Prefecture were rented to Japan.

Japan, Zai Yi and others thought that Pu Jun's famous discussion was made. In addition, Japan's power, it was not difficult for Taizhou to rent out Wenzhou Prefecture. Although Bi Jing did not dare to provoke the East China Government, there was no problem with Zhejiang Province. But what was unexpected was that once the news was announced, it caused an uproar. First, Zhejiang Governor Zhou Fu announced the whole country that he would never pass the Wenzhou Prefecture and Taizhou Prefecture to Japan; then newspapers and news media in various parts of the south published articles, accusing Japan of invading China, accusing Pu Jun's government of stolen the country, accusing Zai Yi and others of being traitors; at the same time, the governors and governors from all over the south all sent electricity to Fujian Province, Yan Li accused Pu Jun's government of improper behavior and ceding land for honor, and some of them were fierce, even saying that Pu Jun was not worthy of being respected and asked Pu Jun to cancel the imperial title immediately.

In fact, the governors and governors were taking advantage of the situation. Although the governors and governors did not recognize them after Pu Jun became emperor, it was difficult to deal with the proposal of the commander in the name of the emperor. After all, these governors and governors were still ministers of the Qing court in the famous discussion, and not only did Pu Jun seek death, but also openly wanted to rent out Wenzhou Prefecture and Taizhou Prefecture to Japan. Then, why don’t you take this opportunity to completely deny Pu Jun’s orthodox nature.

After learning the news, Pu Wei and his group immediately realized that this was a great opportunity to hit Pu Jun's government heavily. They immediately issued an edict in the name of Pu Wei, and in his extremely harsh words, accusing Pu Jun of his lack of talent and virtue, Yue Ji was rude, arrogant and unpardonable, and demanded that Pu Jun immediately cancel the imperial title and ask for his own crimes.
