《Jiang Hai Chao Sheng》Episode 1 plot introduction

In the 20th year of Guangxu's reign, the results were released in the spring of the Jiawu Enke period. Zhang Jian, a famous scholar from the south of the Yangtze River, won the appreciation of Emperor Guangxu for his river canal strategy and won the first place in the high school.

At that time, he was full of ambitions to help the country and protect the people. He had no intention of dealing with the joy of everyone's celebration, and he treated everyone as polite compliments.

In July of the same year, the Toshima cannon was fired, the Japanese army raided and cleared the ships, and the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894 broke out completely.

However, the army and navy of the Qing Dynasty were defeated again and again. Zhang Jian was angry and talked with his mentor Weng Tonghe all night. He denounced Li Hongzhang who had been running coastal defense for 20 years and spent tens of millions of dollars. When facing war, he could only talk about peace and had no power to defend the enemy.

That night, Zhang Jian decided to go to court to impeach Li Hongzhang and informed Weng Tonghe in advance. Unexpectedly, this move angered the Empress Dowager Cixi.

Everyone in the court was in danger and tried to avoid Zhang Jian.

Just when his career was frustrated and he fell into depression, the sad news came that his father Peng Niangong had died of illness. Zhang Jian was ordered to return to his hometown Dingyou. His official career of just 120 days came to an abrupt end, and half of his achievements were in vain.

Nowadays, the situation is getting tighter, and the ambitions of the Japanese invaders are clearly revealed.

As the magistrate of Tongzhou, Zhao Yingde was naturally worried about the territory and the safety of the people under his rule.

Zhang Jian came to inform them of the tragic situation of the destruction of the Beiyang Navy and the successive losses along the coast. He bluntly said that if the Japanese warships were to move south along the coast, Chongming would become a dangerous area and Tongzhou would strangle the rivers and seas, so they could only prepare early defenses.

Zhang Jian urged Zhao Yingde to recruit Xiangyong and organize team training.

Just when Zhao Yingde was about to make a decision, his master Huang Mu hurriedly stopped him, saying that regiment training had always been used only to suppress bandits, and setting it up without permission would definitely arouse the suspicion of the court.

Zhao Yingde was convinced and decided to put the matter on hold and asked Zhang Jian to draft a maritime defense charter before submitting it.

Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Secretary Kaoru Inoue, reported to Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito on the candidates for economic penetration into China, and already had new goals.

On the other hand, in Tongzhou City, Gao Baoshan, the commander-in-chief of Langshan Town, was ordered to lead the Zhongzi Sixth Battalion to station in Tonghai. Zhao Yingde went to greet him in person and invited Zhang Jian to discuss defense together.

However, Zhang Jian was late for the banquet, which made Gao Baoshan dissatisfied and his words were sharp.

Gao Baoshan asked for quotas and money and food to expand the army by two thousand, while Zhang Jian insisted on recruiting a new regiment of local warriors to train. Zhao Yingde was caught in the middle.

Zhang Jian tried hard to persuade Gao Baoshan to recognize the pros and cons of the current situation, but he was stubborn and refused to comply, and they broke up unhappy during the dinner.

Afterwards, Huang Mu offered advice to Zhao Yingde. The state government raised money and food as usual and watched Zhang and Gao compete. The winner would get the food and salary. If Zhang Jian needed to raise money by himself, the excess money would be put into the state treasury.

At this moment, Zhang Jian bravely walked into Sihai Pawnshop to raise money and explained his purpose to his boss, Jiang Mengsheng.

Zhang Jian had borrowed money many times before when he came to Beijing to rush for exams and arrange for funerals. Now he couldn't ask for more money, so he simply pawned his collection of books. Jiang Mengsheng paid the thousand gold without saying a word.

Shen Yuhe, a businessman from Rugao, wanted to visit the Zhang family to inquire about the marriage contract between Zhang Jian and his adopted daughter Wu Daomin, lest the new champion change his mind and regret the marriage.

Wu Daoyin believed that Zhang Jian was of good character. If he used this as a blackmail during Ding You's period, it would appear that the Shen family was petty. If Zhang Jian betrayed his trust after becoming powerful, he would not want to marry him.

Soon after, Dong Yihong, a householder in Tonghai, heard that the Zhang family was recruiting brave men and led several brothers to defect to him. It was called defecting, but in reality they were just eating and drinking.

Zhang Jian saw that they were sitting on empty meals, like gluttons who could only get in and out, so he had an idea, grabbed Dong Yihong, and pushed a cart of grain and rice to the salt field to reward everyone.

The young people present were deeply moved and rushed to sign up to join the group.

After this incident, Dong Yihong saw clearly who Zhang Jian was, and confessed that he was originally a subordinate of Ye Zhichao, and had accompanied the army to North Korea to quell the chaos. However, the commander was too timid to fight and fled for 500 miles.

Zhang Jian admired Dong Yihong's loyalty and bravery and invited him to preside over team training. Dong Yihong vowed to follow his lead from now on.

Japanese cotton spinning giant Nishimura Matsuhei asked Inoue for help, gearing up to enter the Chinese market.

Gao Baoshan saw that Zhang Jian was determined to train in the regiment, so he sent troops to put Zhang Jian under house arrest in the name of sympathy.

Late at night, Shen Jingfu came to Zhang's house to discuss countermeasures.

Zhang Jian asked Shen Jingfu to go to Shanghai immediately and present the book "Coastal Defense Regiment Defense Camp" to Zhao Fengchang, Zhang Zhidong's staff; Jiang Mengsheng and his third brother Zhang Jian tried their best to recruit Xiangyong, not only to stabilize people's hearts, but also to make Gao Baoshan dare not underestimate him.
