"As for Fan Aiqing, you also have something urgent to do. According to the nautical chart, your secret service department found a small island less than 400 miles northeast of Jilong Town, which is the northernmost part of Taiwan Island, and there should be a mark on the map, the island called 'Diaoyutai' is only less than 6,000 acres, and after finding this island, recruit some people from the nearest Wenzhou Prefecture to build a house on the halfway slope of the island, which can accommodate five or six people, and then build a few cisterns and put them on the top of the hill for the house to use in the future. Then a cellar was built at the bottom of the mountain to store some food. Look at the island if there is a place to grow vegetables, if not, bring some soil from the chicken coop town, and fill in a vegetable field. Feng Yunshan and the other ministers left, and then verbally instructed Fan Ruzeng, the director of the Special Services Department.

Although Fan Ruzeng didn't understand why the emperor wanted to build a house on such a remote island and open up a vegetable field, as if he wanted to be inhabited, although he was puzzled, he still agreed.

Seven days later, Feng Yunshan received an urgent report from Lin Hongnian in Nagasaki again.

Kyoto, Japan, underwent drastic changes.

Originally, because of the ascension of the fake crown prince to the throne, he became one of the three powerful ministers of the Meiji Emperor, and Katsura Kogoro, Takasugi Shinsaku, and Iwakura Gushi formed an alliance to control the entire anti-shogun coalition army. Among them, Takasugi Jinsei went to Nagasaki and was detained by Lin Hongnian. Katsura Kogoro led the anti-shogunate army attacking Osaka and retreated to Kyoto, where he was murdered by Iwakura Koshi on the night of his return. The remaining Iwakura Gushi persuaded the long-held Choshu feudal lord Mori Keikini and Shikoku feudal lord Toyonobu Yamauchi and others to use their influence to completely control the anti-shogunate coalition forces and the entire Kyoto castle, and immediately secretly contacted Li Guanlong, the chief general of the Chinese Empire's captive army stationed in the Mimasaka Domain, which was not far from Kyoto, and Hayashi Hongnian of Nagasaki, claiming that he was willing to submit to the Chinese Empire, and asked Li Guanlong to send troops into Kyoto to help defend the shogunate army's attack from Osaka.

Lin Hongnian was naturally overjoyed, and it happened that at this time he received an edict from Feng Yunshan, knowing that the emperor had agreed to the conditions of the shogunate, so he conveyed it to the shogunate's envoy Isunjiro who was in Nagasaki, and the two signed the "Sino-Japanese Treaty of Nagasaki" on the spot.

The Sino-Japanese Treaty of Nagasaki stipulated that Japan ceded the islands of Kyushu, Shikoku, Hokkaido, the Kuril Islands, the southern island of Sakhalin, and the Kansai part of Honshu Island to the Chinese Empire and the Kyushu Domain, and paid tribute to the Chinese Empire, becoming a vassal state of the Chinese Empire, and obeying the call of the Chinese Empire for foreign wars in the future. At the same time, the Chinese Empire was not allowed to send troops to invade Japan again, and recognized the shogunate's dominance over Japan, and helped the shogunate to quell the rebels inside and outside Japan within a year, and the shogunate was willing to pay 8 million taels of gold in installments as compensation for the Chinese Empire's military expenses.

After the signing of the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Nagasaki, Hayashi immediately warned Itakura Katsushi, who was marching towards Kyoto, and demanded that the shogunate forces in Osaka, Nara, and other places hand over the Kyushu domain and gradually withdraw from the Honshu Island's line on Lake Biwa.

On the other hand, Li Guanlong immediately led his troops into Kyoto. Iwakura Gushi and the others really removed their arms, led the anti-shogun army out of the city to greet them, and welcomed the 20,000 captives into the city. The entire anti-shogunate army retained less than half of its elite troops, and the rest were all disarmed and returned to their hometowns of Choshu and Shikoku domains. Li Guanlong also began to send regiments of the 12th Infantry Division and the 33rd Infantry Division to pacify the Kansai area of Honshu Island separately.

Finally, Lin Hongnian mentioned that for the disposal of some of the most powerful feudal lords, as well as Iwakura Gushi, Mori Keiwa, Yamauchi Toyonobu and others, it was suggested that all the feudal lords of the Satsuma Domain should be treated in the same way as Shimazu Saibin, and that they should be divided into a fief overseas, so that they could lead the feudal soldiers and their families to live there. However, it seems that neither Iwakura Gushi nor Toyonobu Yamauchi are willing to accept the fief. Iwakura Gushi wanted to completely surrender to the Chinese Empire, while Toyonobu Yamauchi was really willing to give up his fiefdom and live in Kochi Castle on the island of Shikoku.

Feng Yunshan thought about it for a while, and then agreed, and let the vassal states that were about to become the territory of the Kyushu Domain or the territory of the Chinese Empire move all of them to the open sea by replacing their fiefs, and unless they gave up all their land and private soldiers, they could continue to stay in Kansai and Kyushu Island.

In fact, Feng Yunshan also thought about whether to kill the people who were now in control of the power of Kyoto, such as Iwakura Gushi and Mori Keikin, the lord of the Choshu domain, but then thought about it, the killing would cause the other feudal lords to die and fight desperately, but it would cause unnecessary losses, and keeping these feudal lords and nobles could control all the people under them through them.

In this way, as long as the captives swept away all the ceded territories and disarmed all the feudal troops in all the local feudal states, Japan's affairs could be accomplished.

Two days later, Lu Shunde arrived in Shengjing on a warship.

The next day, Lu Shunde, accompanied by Liu Shengbang, led Iwakura Gushi and two boys to meet Feng Yunshan.

Feng Yunshan personally helped Lu Shunde up, patted this powerful subordinate, and praised: "I am very pleased, Lu Aiqing not only occupied North Korea this time, but also sent troops to Japan, and he has been sitting in Korea for a long time in the middle. ”

Lu Shunde said respectfully: "Your Majesty has praised it. It's all what Wechen should do. After speaking, he began to report to the truth: "Your Majesty, the two true and false little emperors of Japan, and Weichen have been ordered to bring them back to Shengjing and specially lead them to meet Your Majesty. ”

Iwakura Gushi pulled a boy in one hand, stood still more than ten meters away from Feng Yunshan, and bowed to the ground: "The criminal minister Iwakura Gushi, lead the Meiji Emperor of Japan to meet the emperor, may my emperor live long live long live." ”

Feng Yunshan didn't have a good impression of this treacherous Iwakura Gushi, but because he still had a lot of credit for surrendering the empire after all, he didn't want to be embarrassed, so he smiled and said, "You raise your head and let me see the appearance of this hero of the Chinese Empire." There were also two little emperors, both of whom raised their heads. ”

Iwakura Gushi was secretly happy in his heart, and climbed a few steps forward before he said in fear: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your favor!" The sinner did not dare to offend Tianwei. As he spoke, he still lowered his head, but because he was close, Feng Yunshan saw that he was young and handsome, and in the eyes of future generations, he was still a little white face, and he couldn't help but praise: "Aiqing is a talented person, worthy of being my loyal minister, and has made great contributions to the empire, what is the crime?" I want to reward you heavily! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Iwakura looked happy.

"These two boys are your original emperors? Who is Meiji exactly? Feng Yunshan turned his head to look at the boy on the side again, and asked, but it was still Iwakura Gushi.

Feng Yunshan didn't look at it and didn't care, and after taking a look, he was surprised to find that the two boys looked extremely similar, only one was slightly older and the other was slightly younger, estimated to be one or two years apart. However, if you don't compare them in terms of age, it is really difficult to tell the difference.

Before Iwakura could answer, one of the younger boys immediately stood up, boldly raised his head and glared at Feng Yunshan and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor of China, I am the Meiji Emperor of Great Japan. You sent troops to invade my land, and you are not a benevolent monarch, so you don't let me go back quickly. ”

"Presumptuous!" Iwakura Gushi drank on the spot, and his face turned white with fright. This younger boy is the real Muren, after being sent to Nagasaki, he was taken to Shengjing by Lu Shunde, and he has not been much silent and afraid along the way, Iwakura Gushi and Lu Shunde thought that he was still just a timid and afraid child, but they didn't expect to be so bold after seeing the emperor.

Lu Shunde's face also changed, and Liu Shengbang on the side stopped in front of Feng Yunshan, ready to arrest the little boy.

Feng Yunshan waved his hand, signaling that they didn't have to worry, smiled a little playfully, glanced at the little boy, didn't speak, and turned his head to look at another slightly older boy.

The boy fearfully ducked behind Iwakura Gushi, who was obviously familiar with him. In this way, Feng Yunshan naturally knew that the young boy was the real descendant of the Heavenly Empress Muren who was handed over to Lin Hongnian by the shogunate's envoy Jing Yisun Jiro.

However, after Feng Yunshan saw these two boys, he found that the obsession in his heart was suddenly not so strong. However, long before he learned that Emperor Meiji was going to be sent to Shengjing, he had already ordered Fan Ruzeng, the director of the Secret Service Division, to send people to build houses on the island called Diaoyutai, and with the efficiency of the Secret Service Division, even if it was a remote and uninhabited island, it would be completed in less than half a month.

Originally, it was a very cool thing, but Feng Yunshan couldn't feel good when he saw this somewhat stubborn boy now, not to mention, not to mention those courtiers under him, even if everyone in this world, who could understand his obsession?

"That's it, Shengbang, take them all down and hand them over to Fan Ruzeng of the Secret Service Division. I sent an edict to Fan Ruzeng, telling him to wait for the house on the Diaoyutai Island to be built, and then let the three of them live in it. Feng Yunshan waved his hand a little interestedly, "Just let this guy named Iwakura Gushi take care of it, and if it's okay in five years, he will take him out to his official job, and if there is anything wrong, he will fish there for the rest of his life." ”

Liu Shengbang hurriedly bowed down and agreed.

However, Iwakura Gushi next to him understood, his face was full of doubts, and then he understood and shouted: "Your Majesty, I sincerely serve Your Majesty, don't imprison me!" Your Majesty! ”

Liu Shengbang stepped forward and slapped the Iwakura Gu so that the corners of his mouth were bloody, and shouted: "Your Majesty's holy decree has been issued, let you take care of the two boys, you will serve for five years, and you will be reused." Noise what? After saying that, let a few guards drag out the two little emperors, Iwakura Gushi and True and False.

Meiji, who was a little younger, looked back at Feng Yunshan who had his back to him with a resentful face, and his immature face was full of unwillingness and hideousness.
