The Diaoyu Islands are mine, and I have proof.
In 1972, just when Sino-Japanese relations were extremely sensitive because of the "Diaoyu Dao issue",
An American woman suddenly appeared and shouted out earth-shattering words: "Diaoyu Islands, belong to my family"!
Subsequently, she also produced a piece of "evidence", which turned out to be a "handwritten edict" issued by Empress Dowager Cixi!
I saw that on top of a somewhat old scroll, the seal of Empress Dowager Cixi of the Great Qing Dynasty appeared, and the words on it showed:
A year before the Sino-Japanese War, Empress Dowager Cixi rewarded the Diaoyu Islands to a person around her...
Mysterious woman
This woman's name is Xu Yi.
Yes, she is a Chinese and a Chinese-American from Taiwan Province of China.
In such a sensitive international situation, what kind of courage does this woman named Xu Yi have to shout such a shocking sentence?
Diaoyu Islands, belonging to her family? What kind of family is she?
Looking at this woman who is more than half a hundred years old but has an elegant temperament, appearing in front of the world without fear, and taking out the so-called "iron evidence", what is she really for?
Don't worry, the words are divided into two ends, let's talk slowly.
According to Xu Yi, her real name is Sheng Yuzhen, and her father's name is Sheng Enyi.
And his grandfather was a well-known rich merchant in the late Qing Dynasty.
Xu Yi said that his father was Sheng Xuanhuai's fourth son, his mother was an American, and he was inherited from childhood to Xu Shuxi, a diplomat of the Republic of China, so he changed his surname to Xu.
In this way, we seem to be able to understand what Xu Yi means by "family"!
The Sheng family is indeed one of the most influential families in China at the end of the Qing Dynasty!
First of all, let's talk about the legendary life of this big family.
Sheng Xuanhuai is a native of Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, born in 1844, his grandfather was born in Haining Zhizhou, Zhejiang, and his father was a jinshi and served as a political envoy.
However, Sheng Xuanhuai seems to have been born not a reading material, and he did not even win the exam three times.
In the end, he simply gave up the scientific expedition and found another way out.
But God has closed a door for you, and he will not forget to leave you a window.
Although Sheng Xuanhuai can't study well, his brain is flexible, and according to today's words, he is a business genius!
During the period of carrying out the foreign affairs movement with Li Hongzhang, Sheng Xuanhuai's excellent business ability was displayed.
Eventually grew into a famous politician, entrepreneur and philanthropist, known as the "father of Chinese industry", "Chinese business father", "father of China's higher education"!
He also pioneered achievements that are difficult for modern industrialists to achieve, of which the "11 firsts" really overtook a large number of people, including:
The first private joint-stock enterprise steamship investment bureau;
The first telegraph office, the General Administration of Telegraphs of China;
The first river steamer company;
The first bank, Commerce and Commerce Bank of China;
The first railway trunk line, the Beijing-Hankou Railway;
The first steel conglomerate, Hanyeping Company;
The first higher normal school Nanyang Public School (now Jiaotong University);
The first mining company; The first public library;
The first modern university, Beiyang University Hall (today's Tsu University);
He founded the first and only Red Cross Society of China.
Key evidence
When Xu Yi, a Chinese-American, shouted out the words "The Diaoyu Islands are owned by the Sheng family", he was still holding a crucial piece of "evidence"!
Xu Yi said that this was the Empress Dowager's edict, which clearly and plainly wrote that the "Diaoyu Island" would be rewarded to the Sheng family.
So, is this mysterious oracle true or false? What exactly is written in it?
This is a scroll about 59 centimeters long and 31 centimeters wide, and when it is unfolded, it is impressively covered with an ancient seal directly above it, and it actually reads "Treasure of Empress Dowager Cixi"!
Read it again —
Empress Dowager Mercy:
The pills entered by The Taichang Temple Zhengqing Sheng Xuanhuai are very effective, according to the raw material version, collected from the Diaoyu Islands off the coast of Taiwan, the elixir is produced at sea, and the effect is extraordinary in Middle-earth. Knowing that the Qing family set up a pharmacy, diagnosed and administered medicines to alleviate poverty and diseases, it was particularly commendable, that is, the three small islands of Diaoyu Island, Huangwei Island and Chiwei Island were given to Sheng Xuanhuai as an industry, and the use of medicine on behalf of sheng Xuanhuai was given, and his deep body Empress Dowager and Emperor Rendepu were favored. Thanks.
Guangxu nineteenth year in October
The content of the oracle is clear and clear, and indeed it is written that the three islands of the current "Diaoyu Island, Huangwei Island, and Chiwei Island" will be rewarded to Sheng Xuanhuai, who is serving as the zhengqing of the Taichang Temple.
So why did Empress Dowager Cixi give away these three islands for no reason? This is not Lafayette's consistent style!
Originally, the reason for the reward was also written in the oracle, starting with Cixi's illness.
In 1893, Cixi fell ill with a strange disease, and the imperial doctor in the palace could not find a clue to cure it.
Because Sheng Xuanhuai founded a pharmaceutical company called "Guangrentang", probably for this reason, he was called by Cixi to give a prescription for treatment.
After coming and going, Sheng Xuanhuaijin offered a pill called the "Rejuvenation Longevity Pill", which actually cured the empress's illness...
Since the main raw material of this pill is "Sea Hibiscus", it is a unique medicinal material produced from the Diaoyu Islands.
As soon as Empress Dowager Cixi was happy, she gave the island to the Sheng family and asked them to continue to cultivate sea hibiscus...
If according to Xu Yi, before the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War in 1894, the Diaoyu Islands had already become a Shengjia industry!
Of course, it has always been owned by China's sovereignty!
In order to confirm the authenticity of the oracle, Xu Yi even took out a letter written by his grandfather Sheng Xuanhuai to his father Sheng Yuzhen in 1960.
The letter stated that they should keep the Cixi Handbook and not live up to the emperor's grace...
As soon as this matter came out, public opinion was in an uproar.
True and false
It turns out that China and Japan have always held serious differences on the issue of the ownership of the Diaoyu Islands.
In 1970, the United States, the initiator, handed over the jurisdiction of the Ryukyu Islands to Japan, and at the same time "sent" the Diaoyu Islands to Japan, and Japan sent troops to patrol the Diaoyu Islands.
During this period, Japan has always refused to negotiate, always pushing the wrong perception to the end!
It was during such a period that an old American lady took Empress Dowager Cixi's hand and ran out and shouted, "The Diaoyu Islands belong to hers!" ”。
In the face of this situation, the most embarrassing and panicked is probably Japan!
If what Xu Yi said is true, then at least it can be proved in stone:
Before the Sino-Japanese War, diaoyu islands were under the jurisdiction of the Qing government!
Otherwise, how could Cixi reward the Sheng family?
Speaking of which, no matter who owns the Diaoyu Islands, it is impossible to count on his Japanese!
This, however, is embarrassing...
However, the final outcome of this matter is somewhat untouchable or even "farce", which makes us think back and laugh a little!
With the advent of the Empress Dowager's edict, many historians have questioned this attitude.
Because there are many places that don't make sense, and Xu Yi can't justify himself!
The flaw in the matter lies in Xu Yi's two pieces of evidence!
The so-called "Empress Dowager's Handwriting" was later proved by many experts that many places were inconsistent with historical facts and were suspected of being false.
There are four reasons for this:
1. The beginning of the oracle reads that Sheng Xuanhuai was the zhengqing of Taichang Temple at that time.
Checking the historical records, when Guangxu was nineteen years old, Sheng Xuanhuai did not enter the Taichang Temple at all, but followed Li Hongzhang to daxing the industry and served as the governor of customs, and the time point was not right at all!
2. The seal of the "Treasure of Empress Dowager Cixi" on the oracle has been deactivated before this, so why can it be taken out and stamped again?
3. Xu Yi said that Sheng Xuanhuai wrote a letter to his father in 1960 and sent a handwritten message. However, Sheng Xuanhuai died in 1958, and this loophole is even more huge...
4. If Cixi really gave the three islands to Sheng Xuanhuai, such a thing would definitely be mentioned in historical materials such as the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty", why can't she find a single word?
Just when historians are arguing endlessly, another key figure appears, which can be described as a sharp denial of the authenticity of Xu Yi's so-called "evidence"!
This person was Sheng Enyi's eldest son, Sheng Yuyou, who said that he had never known that there was another step-sister named Xu Yi, nor had he ever heard of the Empress Dowager's handwriting!
Faced with such a situation, things took a sharp turn for the worse and became a "farce".
After this, Xu Yi actually hurried back to the United States, and has never appeared to express his position since...
Final question
Some people say that Xu Yi just wants to go crazy for money, wants to gain control of the Diaoyu Islands through falsification of evidence, and seeks profits for himself!
Some people also say that there must be someone behind Xu Yi who premeditated the operation, and the main purpose is to "stir up trouble" and stir up trouble at the most sensitive time of Sino-Japanese relations!
To this day, many people can't figure out what the purpose of this "Old Lady Xu" is.
Her approach has not flattered the United States and Japan, nor has it helped China, what kind of medicine is hulu selling?
