Gonbei Yamamoto's proposal for conditional negotiations on dialogue has actually made great concessions in a country that is radical toward China, but because Gonbei Yamamoto has not come up with specific conditions for negotiations with China, the parliamentarians do not know the bottom line of the Japanese side, and of course they will not easily believe him, so they went so far as to reject it in the first round of voting. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Yamamoto Gonbei finally realized Katsura Taro's pain, the bottom line of dialogue and negotiation should be the top secret, the parliamentarians actually asked him to make the secret public, Chinese could not do it, let this group of Japanese parliamentarians do it, Yamamoto Gonbei even suspected that this group of parliamentarians was a Chinese spy.

However, in the era of 1912, not only were all kinds of ideas agitated in China, but there were also all kinds of radical ideas, open minds, and conservative ideas in Japan and even in the world, and the Chinese people at that time and later generations were only concerned about various complex movements or ideas in China, such as abolishing the written word and promoting the replacement of Chinese characters with letters.

At that time, the Japanese Empire was different from the traditional definition of empire in the minds of Chinese, although the Japanese emperor was known as the Wanshi lineage, but the Japanese emperor has always been like the Zhou Tianzi of the Chinese Zhou Dynasty, the vassal states have great power of local autonomy, and the emperor is only the honorary supreme leader. Later, various Japanese warlords fought wars, and the final winner became the de facto ruler of Japan, but only in the form of a shogun, "acting on behalf of the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate", and the Japanese emperor has always been a puppet. During the reign of Emperor Meiji, he took advantage of the dissatisfaction of the common people and minor warlords with the shogun, launched a campaign to bring down the shogunate, and eventually won the war and defeated the shogunate while relying on the Choshu and Satsuma domains. Although the shogunate system was banned, after all, Emperor Meiji relied on warlords to fight warlords, and he had to give huge rights to the Choshu and Satsuma domains, so the senatorial system appeared, and Meiji was still hollowed out. Meiji relied on the art of checks and balances among the elders, and skillfully increased the position of imperial power by playing with power. After the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, Emperor Meiji's majesty and power reached its peak. Even though Emperor Meiji was almost worshipped as a god, he was nervously afraid of someone trying to usurp power when he passed the throne to Kahito (Emperor Taisho).

At this time, although the Japanese regarded the emperor as a god, few people regarded him as an idol and spiritual pillar as they did more than 20 years later, and many people tried to reform Japan. In particular, after gaining the power of the Diet, it is natural for the political parties in Japan to want the Diet to exercise power in place of the Cabinet.

After Yamamoto Gonbei used the parliament, it was not easy to get rid of the shackles of the parliament now, and in the end he could only reveal the bottom line of the negotiations to the parliament in a limited way, first, China paid 5 million yen in war compensation to Japan, second, Jiangbei Commander-in-Chief Wang Yongan must go into the field, third, China opened the port of Nantong to Japan, fourth, released all Japanese prisoners, and fifth, compensated the families of Japanese instructors with 500,000 yen in compensation.

Yamamoto appointed Takaaki Kato as foreign minister, and he sent an envoy to China, first going to Beijing to negotiate with Yuan Shikai, and then going south to Yangzhou to sign an alliance with Jiangbei. Yamamoto Gonbei believes that when Kato Takaaki arrived in Yangzhou, Yangzhou was already the Yangzhou of the Japanese, because he learned from the mouth of Yusaku Uehara that after twelve days of bloody battles, the Japanese army conquered Tai County, and the army was in Jiangdu County, and Yangzhou was just around the corner.

In the end, Yamamoto Gonbei only passed by a narrow majority of votes in the Diet, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, so he began to eagerly put forward a bill to reduce the army's military spending and increase the navy's military expenditure.

The former leader of the army faction, Katsura Taro, had been stuck at home all day since he lost power, and soon after he became ill, and the doctors diagnosed that Katsura Taro's illness was caused by his mood, and everyone knew what the cause was, so he could not do anything about it. The army faction reunited under the Yama Prefecture Aritomo sect, and in order to fight for power and get rid of the current inferior situation of the army faction, the Yama Prefecture Aritomo began to advocate the concept that the Japanese Army was the Imperial Army, and thus benefited from it. Emperor Taisho was actually very dissatisfied with Yama Prefecture Aritomo, firstly, because Yamaprefecture Aritomo abandoned Katsura Taro when Katsura Taro was blamed, Taisho therefore thought that Yama Prefecture Aritomo was an old fox and untrustworthy, and secondly, because Yamaguchi Aritomo became the most qualified among the senators after Katsura Taro lost power, and Yamamoto Gonbei also began to deliberately compromise with Yama Prefecture Aritomo in order to support the elders, which led to the power of Yama Prefecture Aritomo was greater, and even on the issue of the crown prince Hirohito's choice of concubines, Yama Prefecture Aritomo also intended to make peace.

Yama Prefecture Yutomo is much more scheming than Katsura Taro, and the army faction is honest, and he tells Uehara Yusaku that this time he must obey all the orders of Yamamoto Gonbei and must not have any disobedience.

Uehara Yong as his own face, hiding the huge casualties of the 16th Division and the 17th Division, this bloody battle in Taixian, the total number of casualties of the two divisions was 3,000, but the wounded soldiers and officers reached as many as 8,000, the 16th Division and the 17th Division were almost broken, and most of the front-line officers and men were unwilling to continue to advance.

And Uehara Yong expressed his support for Yamamoto Gonbei, and said to the front-line soldiers: "If I wait for a war, I can go down to Jiangdu, fight Jiangdu, and negotiate with Yangzhou across the bank." ”

Jiangdu county is east of the Beijing-Shanghai Grand Canal Canal, is the capital of the ancient Sui Dynasty, but Jiangdu is not suitable as the capital, there is no natural danger around a horse and a flat river, and there are several waterways behind the Grand Canal, according to Chinese feng shui, it belongs to the pattern of a war against the water, so there is no dynasty after the Sui Dynasty that Jiangdu is regarded as the capital. Wang Yongan did not mean to regard Jiangdu as a center of resistance at first, but Feng Heng and other staff officers believed that it was impossible for the Japanese crusading army to cross the canal according to the casualties and logistical supplies of the Japanese army, and their footsteps reached Jiangdu at most, so the decisive place of this decisive battle was not under the city of Yangzhou, but the city of Jiangdu.

"Isn't that a negotiating disadvantage for Japan?" Wang Yongan asked rhetorically.

Feng Heng said with a smile: "Japan is weak, just moaning, the battle of Jiangdu must be the final decisive battle between China and Japan, although our Jiangbei Army has planned Yangzhou, at this time we can consider annihilating the Japanese army." ”

Wang Yongan thought about it, laughed, and said: "Okay, the other party Xianwu said that now he is in command of the whole army, and the 16th and 17th divisions of the Japanese army will be surrounded and annihilated under the Jiangdu City, don't run a little devil." ”

When the military order reached the front line, Fang Xianwu laughed and said, "Okay, fight Jiangdu!" We have been waiting for a long retreat, and today is the day of the decisive battle! ”
