Lieutenant General Du Shihui was very happy to completely eliminate the Japanese army entrenched in Lushun, not only earned a large number of war points, but also looted a large number of gold and silver treasures, and captured more than 200,000 free laborers, these people not only worked for free every day, but also provided a large number of colonial points to the system every month.

The Xia Empire did not ask for the Japanese assets in the three northeastern provinces, but prepared to auction them all, and after the auction, they were converted into silver and paid to the Xia Empire as war expenses.

Through many communications between Ambassador Wu Wenbin and the Qing court, the Qing court agreed to extend Port Arthur to the east along the Yalu River and north to Benxi and Liaoyang; To the west was the area east of Yingkou, that is, the entire Liaoning Peninsula, as the garrison area of the Xia Empire in the Great Qing Kingdom.

The assets of the Japanese in the region were all owned by the Xia Empire and were not included in the auction; The Xia Empire had absolute administrative, military, and legislative privileges in the region; The garrison lasted for 99 years, and after the time ended, all the fixed assets were owned by the Qing Dynasty; Without the permission of the Great Qing State, the troops of the Xia Empire could not go out of the garrison area without permission.

At the same time, the Xia Empire established a Peninsula Special Administrative Region in the region, and Du Shihui served as the governor of the Special Administrative Region; Equipped with 3 Janissary Divisions, 3 National Defense Divisions, and 1 Cavalry Division, it can recruit 3 garrison divisions and a police force of no more than 5,000 people on its own; The Peninsula Special Administrative Region is under the jurisdiction of General Xiao Xuguang, the Metropolitan Governor of the Northern Theater Command.

It just so happened that the captured Japanese were used as free labor to carry out infrastructure construction in the special administrative region.

For the total annihilation of the Lushun garrison, the Japanese government has long been mentally prepared, but I didn't expect that the time would come so quickly, tens of thousands of troops, with strong permanent fortifications, how can they hold out for more than half a year, and even have to inflict a major blow to the Xia Empire, I didn't expect that it would be wiped out so silently, which also made the Japanese army re-realize the strength of the Xia Empire.

As for the Japanese in Shinsu Province and Ezo Province, in principle, they are allowed to return to Japan, but those who really want to return are not allowed to return, and those who are allowed to return are not willing to return to Japan; It was the government officials and the big chaebols who wanted to return to Japan, and now that all their property had been returned to the public and the personnel had become free labor for the Xia Empire to carry out local construction, how could they be allowed to return to Japan? As for the poor people who were allowed to return to Japan, they now want them to return to Japan, and they don't want to go to Japan. First of all, the Xia Empire recruited a large number of Japanese mercenaries and police members, and these people became the first beneficiaries of the Xia Empire's occupation of these places. The second is that the Xia Empire needs a lot of labor to carry out infrastructure construction, as long as they work hard, their income can support their families, at least it is much better than when the Japanese government ruled here, so they are not willing to return to Japan, if they go to Honshu, they don't even have a place to stay, and life is not as good as now; Besides, this time Japan was defeated, the land was ceded and reparations were paid, and the life of the whole Japan will be more difficult than before, and it is a luxury for ordinary people to be able to eat enough, who wants to go back and suffer? Within the rule of the Xia Empire, even being a slave can feed your family, and it is better than going back to live without enough food.

After the end of the Battle of Arthur, the Japanese government repeatedly approached Hua Guoqiang, the foreign minister of the Xia Empire, hoping that the Xia Empire would end the blockade of Japan as soon as possible.

The Xia Empire's reply was that the first indemnity must be paid before the blockade could be lifted, and although there was no such article in the treaty, the treaty did not say that the blockade should be lifted immediately.

The Japanese army went to the ambassadors of various countries to coordinate, and the ambassadors of various countries are now busy negotiating with the Xia Empire and want to introduce the Xia Empire's airship technology; The Xia Empire's reply was to wait until the state of war with Japan was lifted before it could start selling airships to the outside world.

Zhang Wei's meaning is to completely subdue the Japanese this time, stop thinking about hugging the thighs of Westerners, if they don't learn a lesson, they can beat him at any time in the future; Judging from the information learned in the previous life, the servility of the Japanese is too heavy, and whoever can subdue him, at least on the surface, will be obedient and obedient, and he is definitely a qualified watchdog. Due to the persecution of the Xia Empire, Japan had to seek help from Britain, France and the United States, hoping to obtain a partial loan to pay the first batch of compensation to the Xia Empire first, so that the Xia Empire's navy could lift the blockade of Japan.

In order to purchase airship technology from the Xia Empire as soon as possible, Britain, France, and the United States decided to jointly lend money to Japan after discussion, but now Japan's customs duties and salt taxes are almost none, so they have to mortgage several gold mines; A total of 50 million taels of silver were loaned, 20 million taels from France, and 15 million taels each from Britain and the United States.

Finally, in early April, the three countries shipped silver to the port of Shangjing, paying off the first batch of compensation for Japan.

At this time, the Xia Empire also prepared the troops stationed in Japan, and the 12 independent regiments were now on standby in Keelung Port, with Lieutenant General Xiao Honglan, a special staff officer of the General Staff Department, serving as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese garrison, under the jurisdiction of Xiao Xuguang, the governor of the Northern Theater Command, and the general headquarters of the Japanese garrison was ready to be located in Yokosuka City, echoing the garrison of the Izu Islands, and stationed 2 independent regiments in Sendai and Aomori; 5 separate regiments were stationed in the Tokyo area; One separate regiment was stationed in Nagoya, Kobe, Osaka, Okayama and Hiroshima.

Each independent regiment has 5,000 people, with 1 M2 mortar in the squad, 2 1 artillery guns in the platoon, 2 65mm mountain guns in the company, 6 75mm mountain guns and 2 infantry guns in the battalion; The regiment is equipped with 6 105mm howitzers and 6 155mm howitzers, with 1 light machine gun per squad and 2 heavy machine guns per company.

Shinsu Province stationed one Praetorian Division in Kyushu City and Ezo Province in Hakodate City each to support the troops stationed in Honshu at any time; The Northern Theater Command also deployed troops in the port of Busan, which could land in Honju, Japan at any time; In short, the Northern Theater High Command had to ensure the safety of the 12 independent regiments stationed in Japan.

At the same time, in order to seize the Japanese market, Keelung Port is used as a transit port for the sale of Japanese materials, mainly to occupy Japan's grain market, salt market, cotton market, as for other kerosene, soap, matches and other daily necessities and iron pots, kitchen knives, iron nails and other hardware daily necessities market are all given to private enterprises to operate, and now all kinds of items are prepared in Keelung Port in sufficient supply.

Hua Guoqiang and Zheng Daoyou also discussed and decided to set up a consulate in each city where the troops were stationed, with consuls and commercial counselors, to assist merchants in opening local markets and assisting them in handling local affairs.

Zhang Wei also synthesized dozens of Japanese businessmen and dozens of Japanese spies separately, allowing them to enter the Japanese market, establish enterprises in Japan, and spy on news for the empire.

After everything was arranged, Zhang Wei agreed to the navy to lift the blockade of Japan, and then the Xia Empire's goods poured into the Japanese market in waves.

As for the airships sold to various countries, Zhang Wei chose to use aluminum alloy as the skeleton, hydrogen as the medium, and the load of 5 tons, 10 tons and 20 tons, and the sales price was not low, which really made Zhang Wei earn a lot of silver.

At this point, the war against Japan was completely over, and Japan's development potential was completely eliminated.
