Chapter 225: Peace Negotiations

The successive defeats on the battlefield had left Japan with no room for maneuver, especially the warships of the Chinese Empire that appeared in the port of Edo, which had now completely blocked the entrance to the sea from Tokyo, and the navy guarding Edo was very heroic.

With the last pride of the entire Japanese people, the three 3,178-ton cruisers could not survive an hour under the blow of the combined fleet of the Chinese Empire, and the three last Japanese cruisers, including other rebuilt and naval ships, all became sampans floating in Edo Bay.

Then there was the 20-day blockade, and the Japanese government, which was already exhausted, had to respond. However, the current Japanese government is also like a weak patient, and it is difficult to have the power to control the situation.

Because of the supreme god of Shintoism, the emperor of Japan, also fell ill. As a result of this war, Japan was completely regressed to the shogunate period, and the power of the daimyo and other places that had not been completely silent began to rebound, and at the same time, the civilized Japanese people did not want the government to surrender.

At the time when the Japanese government cabinet members issued the surrender bill, many Japanese nobles and parliamentarians committed suicide because such a reality was not acceptable in their culture. At the same time, the officers of the Shaozhuang faction and many ronin also expressed their opinions.

Anyone who bewitches the emperor into surrendering is a traitor, and the Yamato nation is invincible. The current defeat was only temporary, and it was entirely the failure of the front-line soldiers to carry out His Majesty's orders that led to the current situation.

As the head of the government, Hirobumi Ito, and his gang of reformist accomplices, Shigenobu Oshi and Inazo Shinto, were not good people, especially now that they were agitating His Majesty the Emperor to surrender, which was a traitorous act of betrayal.

Therefore, on May 26, the second year of the Bright Future, Emperor Meiji was on his sickbed and approved Ito Hirobumi's proposal to surrender to the Chinese Empire. But that night, Meiji was seriously ill and could no longer care about state affairs.

More importantly, almost all the imperial ministers in the current Japanese cabinet have died on the front line, and even if they are not killed in battle, they are all defeated on the front line, and they are not qualified to participate in state affairs at all.

Therefore, the two biggest leaders of Japan today have become Hirobumi Ito, the prime minister and the president of the Privy Council. That night, ronins and some military officers in Japan began to organize themselves and launched an assassination campaign against Hirobumi Ito and Shigenobu Ogashi.

Ito Hirobumi was not harmed because of his effective protection, but Shigenobu Oshi almost died, and everything told Ito Hirobumi that Japan was now on the verge of collapse. You need to make a decision now!

On May 30, at 14 o'clock in the afternoon, a small boat with a white flag floated out of the port of Edo, Japan. The Japanese on the ship was a liaison person photographed by the Japanese cabinet government, called Hatoyama Natsuo.

As a person who knows and worships Chinese culture very well, he boarded the Dingyuan ironclad battleship that was cruising here, Deng Shichang met him, and first gave him a full meal, because this person is already yellow and thin, and it is obvious that Japan is now very short of food!

After negotiating some details, Hatoyama's stephusband left the Dingyuan and returned to Edo to meet with Ito Hirobumi, bringing back the terms of the negotiations of the Chinese Empire, namely the "Twenty-one Articles on Peace Construction in East Asia" that had already been drawn up by the Chinese government.

After consulting with Shigenobu Oshi and Inazzo, Shinto, who were already lying on the hospital bed, Ito Hirobumi decided to sacrifice his eternal reputation and embarked on the path of Japan's first sinner in the ages.

On May 30, Huyan Jingbian, Mentu, Zeng Lingqin, and Gadamerin issued a big armistice order on their respective fronts. Hu Yanjing looked at the port of Vladivostok in front of him, and most of the remnants of the Japanese army were now cowering in the port of the Chinese Empire.

Mentu was very calm, sitting on his horse, smoking a cigarette leisurely, and then said to Hu Yanjing; "Can't you just stop for a moment?"

Hu Yanjing slammed his steel helmet on the armor of the tank, and said with a deep sigh; "Give Lao Tzu another five hours, and Lao Tzu can wipe out these bastards!"

Gadamerin said; "It's getting dark! Mentu, you and General Huyan's troops are on the front line, you still have to watch them closely!

On May 30, at about 14 o'clock in the evening, at the same time as the Heilongjiang Theater, the Army of the Chinese Empire in the Korean Theater, the Korean New Army, and the Silla Militia also stopped attacking the remnants of the Japanese forces.

In fact, there is no hope for the current Japanese soldiers, there is no food, ammunition, reinforcements, and they are still resisting because of the instinct to survive.

The remaining Japanese troops in the Ryukyu Theater returned to Nakanoshima because of their proximity to the Japanese mainland, led by Prince Shikawa Miyashihito. When I went out, there were 200,000 troops, and when I came back, there were less than 20,000 people.

After getting off the ship, Prince Saikawanomiya Chihito looked at the Japanese troop carriers floating on the sea, and many soldiers had already reached the near shore, but they thought they had no strength and fell on the beach. The other soldiers tried to pick up the fall, but they themselves fell into the sea.

Prince Saikawanomiya Chihito looked in the direction of Edo, and then at the large number of dead soldiers in the sea, sighed deeply, and then committed suicide with his gun. There is Prince Chihito of Nishikawa Gong who is the only prince who did not commit suicide by seppuku in the Second Great Patriotic War of the Chinese Empire, why did the prince not choose to commit suicide by seppuku?

This has become a research topic for many Japanese scholars!

On June 4th, Ito Hirobumi came with his envoy group, Tianjin Port of the Chinese Empire, and his old friend Li Hongzhang received him.

Li Hongzhang took Ito Hirobumi's hand and said; "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!"

This moment was filmed by the news reporters who were present, because of sympathy for the relationship with Japan. Li Hongzhang's later political career was very unsmooth, and Li Hongzhang was excluded from the sequence of negotiations with Japan.

Yuan Shikai, Zhang Zhidong, Zuo Zongtang, Tang Shaoyi, and Zhao Bingjun all became the core personnel of the negotiations with Japan, and the main place of the negotiations was held in Nanjing. At that time, all the work was carried out very carefully, because the people of the current Chinese Empire were very concerned about state affairs.

At every turn, they went to Beijing to appeal, first to the military generals, then to the high-ranking officials of the government, and finally to the officials of the Ministry of the Interior who received them. The tree was given to the Emperor of Light, but now the Emperor of Light appears almost in the Academy of Sciences and the Association for the Promotion and Development of Commerce of the Chinese Empire, two organizations.

During the recent May Day, the Emperor of Light also organized a strike. At the gate of the Jingshi Tobacco Company, he led more than 3,000 people to strike together to demand a wage increase.

This surprised the people of the empire!

The next day, the Guangming Emperor, as the largest shareholder of the Imperial Tobacco Company, issued an order to raise the wages of the workers of the Chinese Empire again. According to the current exchange rate, the exchange rate between the dragon yuan and the US dollar is 1 dragon yuan to 3 US dollars.

The exchange rate between the dragon yuan and the pound is 1 dragon yuan to 2 pounds, with the world's most powerful industrial strength, the Chinese Empire is slowly recovering the glory of antiquity. Before the Ming Dynasty, the Chinese Empire had always accounted for more than half of the world's total merchandise trade.

Now the total trade volume of the Chinese Empire has reached the fourth level of the world, and this number is still increasing. Because of this change, many other things have undergone profound changes.

Japan's Ito Hirobumi had no room for resistance in Nanjing, and signed a "Peace Treaty" with the Chinese Imperial Government in Nanjing. In the treaty, the Xia Empire did not let the Japanese pay a tael of silver, but on the contrary, gave Japan a total of 300 million dragon yuan in loans and investments!

After this treaty came out, the people of the Chinese Empire were very generous, because the Chinese Empire has always been very generous, and this also reflects the national prestige of the Chinese Empire, and the important thing is the glory and pride of the Chinese Empire!

However, North Korea raised his objections, and on the day the contract was signed, the representative of North Korea, Jeon Feng Jun, was very incomprehensible to the Chinese Empire's approach, and issued his own opinion outside at that time. The Japanese are like wolves that cannot be raised, and the practices of the Chinese Empire cannot influence the Japanese.

In the end, under the mediation of the Chinese Empire, North Korea agreed to peace talks. The Sino-Japanese War, which was finally jumped by Japan, ended on October 10, 1895, with the signing of the Peace Treaty.

Originally, the celebration held by the Nanjing government was very deserted because the people were not interested in participating. The mass demonstrations that the government thought would take place, and the joyful celebrations of the masses did not take place.

Because the current Chinese Empire is very busy, now the old system is broken, and when the new system is gradually established, many businesses that could not be done before can now be done, especially in the change of thinking, everyone knows that this is the golden age of making a fortune.

The current government has deregulated the economy, politics, and technology, and cannot move on the policy of stability, and nothing else is controlled, which has made the people of China unprecedentedly liberated.

Celebrations are a waste of time and energy!
