This is an almost primitive cold weapon era of torture, two wings of Japanese troops, after trying to kill the last martyr of the emperor's militarist ideology, announced the results of the Chuncheon ambush, the first division of the 10th Army of the Hainan Liaodong Group Army, with absolute superiority, successfully defeated the Japanese army from Gangneung and Inje to support the two wings of the Japanese army.

After receiving the news of the annihilation of these two Japanese armies, Yama County Youpeng continued to increase the stakes in Seoul almost frantically.
In addition to urging the 349th Infantry Wing of Cheonan and the 78th Artillery Wing of Liquan to speed up their pace to support Suwon and Seoul, a mixed brigade was transferred from Jeonju to continue to increase the number of troops in Seoul.
In front of the emperor, Ito Hirobumi strongly persuaded Meiji to abandon Seoul, and then asked the United States to mediate and negotiate peace with the Hainan royal government.
He argues that while Seoul is important to Japan's interests in Korea at present, most of the South Korean Peninsula should be more important than a Seoul city. At the very least, Japan can also own part of North Korea, and this is Japan's chance for the future.
If you blindly use the lives of imperial soldiers to engage in meaningless struggle, in the end, you will only lose more, and perhaps you may lose the whole of Korea.
Nowadays, the power of the Hainan royal palace cannot be underestimated, they are not just a Hainan island, when the army of Hainan faces our Japanese country, behind them is the entire Chinese nation.
Japan should avoid its edge, be aware of current affairs, and stop stubbornly competing with such a tough bone as the Hainan Palace. Japan has just experienced the Russo-Japanese War and the war with Hainan, and our domestic economy cannot afford it!
Hainan has no burden, the old Hainan King has been operating in Hainan for decades, and now this little prince seems to be more deterrent.
This little prince Chen Zhong not only has a very gifted military talent, but also has rare political wisdom, in addition, he seems to have a super-time and space-time prediction ability in diplomacy and the balance of various forces in the world, what kind of person is Hainan Wang Chen Zhong, I can't tell, but he seems to be able to grasp every link extremely appropriately. Aritomo Yamaguchi was no match for him, and it seemed to me that even President Theodore Roosevelt would have a hard time fighting him.
Emperor Meiji listened to Hirobumi Ito, and he fought a cold war. Because of the same kind of words, Genjiro Akashi also said to him.
This is a terrible sign that an extremely hard stumbling block has appeared in the imperial journey of Emperor Meiji.
Meiji is very conflicted, is it possible that the dream of the empire that he has been running for decades has been shattered? He even began to despair.
He was a little shaken, and what Ito Hirofumi said was reasonable, and this is an indisputable fact. Perhaps, giving up at this moment should be the best option for him and Japan.
Emperor Meiji pondered for a long time, it was time for him to make a decision. He picked up a pen and wrote down the emperor's order, ordering Aritomo Yama to stop the war on the Korean Peninsula and prepare for the Seoul peace talks.
At this time, the Japanese Admiralty sent a telegram that the U.S. Pacific Fleet had arrived in the Tsushima Strait. Rear Admiral Robert and Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans of the United States Navy sent a telegram greeting to His Majesty the Emperor.
When Emperor Meiji heard that the U.S. fleet had arrived in the Tsushima Strait, he was like a shot in the arm, and his spirits immediately increased.
At this moment, Emperor Meiji seemed to feel that the air around him was starting to freshen again, the sun was shining again, and even the noisy bird chirping was like a beautiful music, and everything seemed to be full of hope again.
Emperor Meiji tore the pessimistic imperial decree to shreds, and he wanted to regain the majesty and majesty of the past, and his waist seemed to be straight.
At this time, Emperor Meiji was like a poor and crazy beggar, and after suddenly picking up a large credit card, he was anxious to announce to the world: Lao Tzu has money today, and as for repayment, Lao Tzu can't be annoyed! Let's talk about being rich first.
Emperor Meiji turned his face away, tried to suppress the joy he wanted to burst out, and then calmly said to Ito Hirobumi: "Ito-kun, I have changed my mind, sometimes, we still have to fight hard for the future, maybe, in our most desperate time, there will be additional surprises!" The course of each of us is a gamble, and my life gambling creed is that I would rather lose nothing than win for a long time. ”
Hirobumi Ito looked at Emperor Meiji, who was almost crazy, sighed and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, we are not alone, we represent the whole of Japan, a country with a population of tens of millions, and we can't afford to lose." ”
Emperor Meiji glanced at Hirobumi Ito, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Ito-kun, when you are old, and you keep changing women every day, do you feel that you should give up?" I think even if you, Ito-kun, don't have nothing, you can't live without women, right?
This is a kind of **, your** in all kinds of women, but mine** is in that piece of mountains, rivers and plains on the continent, I want to bring my beloved Japan thousands of miles of rivers and mountains! Where did these come from, only plundered from the brave and fearless conquests of our Yamato nation!
I will always believe that only those who have excellent thoughts, fearless spirit, and decisive actions are worthy of thousands of miles of splendid rivers and mountains!
The Shina people are purely a rabble, just a huge wealth left to them by their ancestors, their generation, ignorant and ignorant, everyone has a pitiful servility engraved in them, these lowly Shina people need to be enslaved, they can't be the masters of this world! Such a great river and mountain, if you give it to them, it will be ruined!
I want to lead our excellent Yamato nation to that heavenly land, which should belong to us, and I will not be willing to retreat because a little king of Hainan has caused us a little trouble!
We, the Japanese Empire, want to use the emerging power of the United States, the world, to get rid of the king of Hainan!
I know very well that these Yankees are not really helping us, and I know, and I know very well, that they are using us!
Sooner or later, when our Yamato nation is truly strong, the first ones I will destroy will be the Americans!
I want the whole world to know that only the Empire of Japan is the master of this world, and only the people of our outstanding Yamato nation are worthy of the voice of leaders in this world!
I will now order Youpeng in Shanxian County to increase the number of troops in Seoul and fight the king of Hainan to the end! I want Chen Zhong to know that it will be his sorrow to be the enemy of our Japanese Empire! ”
