"No, I was born as the emperor of Japan, and I swear to share weal and woe with Japan. I will never take a step back!" Emperor Meiji said angrily.

"However, our defense in Yokohama has been breached. In addition to the Qing army that landed, the Qing army in Nagoya has also detoured to Kanazawa. The prospect of the war is very pessimistic. I wonder if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Talk to the Qing Dynasty and end this war as soon as possible!" Ito Hirobumi said with his head down.

With a "pop", the teacup in Emperor Meiji's hand was shattered by him on the imperial case, and the fragments of the teacup were embedded in the meat, dripping with blood.The servants around panicked for a while, and a samurai went to the doctor in three steps at a time.

"Ito-kun, don't you think that what you said can kill you ten times?" Emperor Meiji pointed at Ito Hirobumi with a bloody finger.

"No, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is thinking about the future of our Great Japanese Empire. Now the Qing army has many soldiers. Although our Great Japan has developed rapidly in recent years, it is not as powerful as the Qing Dynasty. The subordinates in the Qing Dynasty According to reports from secret talks, their Wusong Shipyard will launch two cruisers of the same level as the Rise next month; Five French torpedo ships went into the sea. Even if the casualty ratio between the Qing army and our big Japanese in the current naval battle reaches 3:1, the Qing army is still a good deal. What's more, the current casualty ratio is only 1:1, and the army has no advantage. If it goes down, Japan may be completely destroyed." Hirobumi Ito knelt down in panic, and sincerely analyzed the current battle situation.

"You still have the face to talk about your secret talks?? It's all wrong information brought about by your secret talks, that's why our big Japan is fooled by the Qing Dynasty again and again! You were born in a samurai family, and your Bushido spirit Where did it go?" Emperor Meiji roared at Hirobumi Ito like a lion out of control.

"His Majesty……"

Emperor Meiji fell heavily on the seat, watching the blood dripping from his hands drop by drop.Tears finally couldn't help but flow down!

"Okay, Ito-kun, go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and talk to the Qing Dynasty. Is there a possibility of a truce? In addition, the whole country mobilizes to resist the Qing army. Prepare with both hands. If necessary, you must fight the Qing army to the end." Emperor Meiji resolutely There was a desire for victory in his eyes.

"Roms."

Inside the Forbidden City, there is a relaxed atmosphere.

Guan Xuqing was playing chess with Concubine Lan in the back garden.

"Be the first shot." Concubine Lan used the method she had just learned from Guan Xuqing.

"Horse jumping." Guan Xuqing relaxed after leaving the tedious government affairs and headache battle reports. Facing the beautiful royal garden and beauties, he was in a good mood.Only now did I realize how great it is to travel back to the Qing Dynasty and become the emperor!

"Ah, how should the concubine go? The emperor will teach the concubine." Concubine Lan acted like a baby in front of Guan Xuqing.

Just as Guan Xuqing was about to speak, Li Hongzhang hurried over.

"Your Majesty, I'm overjoyed!" Before the person arrived, the voice had already passed.

Guan Xuqing turned to look at Li Hongzhang, and asked with some annoyance: "Hongzhang, I think you are in a daze. Even though this is a harem, can you forget the principles of monarchs and ministers?" Guan Xuqing has completely integrated into this space.

"Ah, I'm guilty of capital punishment. I pray for the emperor's peace, and the blue lady is auspicious." Li Hongzhang hurriedly knelt down on the ground.

"Stay flat." Guan Xuqing said to Concubine Lan, "You go back first, I will talk to you another day."

"The concubine resigns." Concubine Lan left slowly surrounded by all the court ladies.

After watching Concubine Lan leave, Guan Xuqing turned to Li Hongzhang and said, "There's such a rush, what's the good news?"

"Your Majesty, look." Li Hongzhang took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his sleeve, and continued, "The Japanese envoy has come to pray for peace."

Guan Xuqing took the peace agreement book with a smile, and said lightly: "Look at your prospects, it is expected that a little Japan will come to pray for peace. Why are you so happy?"

"Yes, the emperor taught you that." Li Hongzhang lowered his head in shame.

"The Japanese want to use the peace talks to delay time. Now that Yokohama has been broken, Lu Yiwei's battle report said that he has led two divisions back to the back of Kanazawa. It is only a matter of time before Jinze is broken. Feng Xianghua's battle report said that within five days the Break Tokyo, is this the right time for peace talks?" Guan Xuqing put down the peace talks book and said to Li Hongzhang.

"Er..." Li Hongzhang frowned slightly, and continued: "Actually, I thought that Japan is a small country, and it is enough to teach him a lesson. Now the peace agreement clearly states that North Korea belongs to my Qing Dynasty, and it will be with me in the future." live in peace.”

"Fart, since ancient times, keeping a dog can guard the door, and raising a tiger can cause trouble. Although Japan is a small country, can you tell the difference between a dog and a tiger?" Guan Xuqing stood up and continued: "The king of North Korea has already made an offering. On the land, North Korea is now a province of our Qing Dynasty, and everyone in the country knows it. What does Japan want him to recognize? Whether he admits it or not, it belongs to my Qing Dynasty."

"Yes, yes, yes." Li Hongzhang agreed.

Guan Xuqing changed the subject, and continued: "But, if people have to admit their mistakes, we, a big country in the Celestial Dynasty, have to be a little sincere, can't we just push it to the end?" Turning to Li Hongzhang, he said, "Well, you can tell the Japanese envoy. We can talk about peace. , but they need to come to the Qing Dynasty to negotiate, and the venue is set in Tianjin. You should go, the conditions..."

Guan Xuqing suddenly thought of the indemnity of 2.5 million taels of silver demanded by Japan during the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], which completely fell China.

"Let's just pay 2.5 million taels of silver in compensation. In addition, any future transactions between Japan and other countries must be approved by the Qing Dynasty. The conventional army is limited to less than 10, and the tonnage of the navy cannot exceed 5 tons." Guan Xuqing proposed an almost harsh to the given conditions.

Li Hongzhang was also taken aback by Guan Xuqing's condition, thinking that the little emperor was joking.

"Your Majesty, do you mean 2.5 million taels of silver? Or 2.5 million silver dollars?" After the reform of the new currency, Guan Xuqing and the ministers still used the old name for the amount.

"Oh, it's 2.5 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to 25 billion silver dollars in the current domestic currency." Guan Xuqing emphasized again.

"I'm afraid Japan won't be able to get this out. They still owe a lot of loans to Britain." As Minister of Foreign Affairs, Li Hongzhang still has a certain understanding of the economic conditions of various countries.

"I don't care about this anymore. I only take what belongs to me. You just open it according to this condition, but you can't get it out? Then mortgage the tariff to the Qing Dynasty and pay it back in installments every year. He also has 5000 million in tax revenue in Japan a year." Two silvers, it will be finished in 5 years? Then, you go tell Little Japan that I will allow them to repay it in 5 years without interest. Sigh, don’t rush to thank me, this is also conditional. Qidao first pressured me to the Qing Dynasty, plus the tariffs from all over the country were pressured to the Qing Dynasty together. After the repayment, I will return these to Japan." Guan Xuqing looked like a good man, and Li Hongzhang almost couldn't laugh when he saw it.

"Cha, I'll inform them now." Li Hongzhang left in a hurry.

Competing in East Asia 1Chapter 17 The Conspiracy of Japan

Guan Xuqing faced the sky, as if the world was under his control.That sense of accomplishment can make a person get carried away, and it can also make his vanity rise to a peak.And this is precisely the most dangerous time!

A famous philosopher once said that if a woman wants to grasp a man's heart, she only needs to grasp two points: one is the man's self-esteem.Two, it's the man's vanity.

On the battlefield or so, to firmly grasp the vanity of the enemy may be your only chance of victory.And at this point, the Japanese have arrived the most.

"Your Majesty, the Qing Dynasty has agreed to peace talks. The location is Tianjin!" Ito Hirobumi said.

Emperor Meiji raised his head slowly, revealing sinister and cunning eyes.He waved his gauze-wrapped hand, and suddenly dozens of black-clothed people appeared in the hall, kneeling down in front of Emperor Meiji.

"Ito-kun, this time you are negotiating on behalf of Japan. These are gifts I prepared for the Qing emperor. I want to make this empire chaotic from within." Emperor Meiji revealed a strong murderous intent from his sinister eyes.

"But, Your Majesty, how did these warriors get into the palace?" Ito Hirobumi worried.

Emperor Meiji laughed and said, "Hahaha, Ito-kun, look!"

With a light wave of a gauze-wrapped hand, those black-clothed bears immediately took off their black endured clothes.Appearing in front of Ito Hirobumi were ten young girls with graceful postures, beautiful appearances, and amazing dancing skills. Ito Hirobumi, an old man over 50 years old, was full of enthusiasm, his throat was dry, and he was swallowing hard. saliva.

"I heard that Emperor Qing is a 20-year-old young man. Do you think he has the ability to resist my big Japanese beauty?" Emperor Meiji is very satisfied with Ito Hirobumi's current performance.

"I can't resist, it's a pity, it's a pity these girls..." Ito Hirobumi couldn't help touching the back of the girl's hand facing him in front of him.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and at some point in the girl's hand, a shining dagger stabbed at Hirobumi Ito.

"what……"

The dagger stopped just one centimeter away from Ito Hirobumi's throat, and Ito Hirobumi was so scared that he no longer had any evil thoughts.It's best not to mess with these stinging spiders.

"Hahaha, Ito-kun, these were all raised by Ozora ninjas since he was a child. He was specially responsible for the assassination mission, but he didn't expect to be used on the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but seeing the development of the Qing Dynasty in the past few years, he should be qualified. "Emperor Meiji said lightly.

"Your Majesty is wise, once the Qing emperor dies, there will be chaos in the country." Ito Hirobumi said excitedly.

"That's right, inform the navy to prepare for a sneak attack on the East China Sea. The army will gather during the negotiation period, and as soon as the Qing emperor dies, he will immediately counterattack." Emperor Meiji said.

"Kai." Itou Hirobumi turned and left, and the dozens of girls followed him.I have to admit that Japan's brainwashing education is very successful. Whether it is a child or an old man, the loyal ministers of the Japanese Empire have reached a certain level. It is an honor to be willing to sacrifice for the empire.

The ship Ito Hirobumi was on was escorted by the Qing Dynasty's "Chengfeng", "Break the Wave", "Zhenyuan" and "Dingyuan" to the Dagu Military Port in Tianjin. Ito Hirobumi was deeply shocked by the powerful Qing Dynasty's naval plastic surgery.

The Dagu Fort was built just last year, and the range of the complete set of German Fort reached 5000 meters.The coastal defense gunboat does not need to sail, it is used purely as a fort, and the caliber of all the gun ports is much larger than that of the assault gunboat.The range can also reach 5000 meters.The 30-degree rotatable main gun enables 20 coastal defense gunboats lined up to attack any angle on the sea surface, without the so-called dead angle of shooting.

The reasonable arrangement of these powerful artillery made Hirobumi Ito frightened. In all fairness, the defense of any port in Japan is not one-tenth of that of Tianjin Dagu Military Port in the Qing Dynasty.
