Chapter 265: News Comes
The news of Emperor Meiji's decision spread among the upper echelons of the empire that night, and when some people agreed with it and some disappointed, it was even said that it would wipe out the achievements of the Meiji Restoration. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But how could Emperor Meiji, who was in the depths of the Imperial Palace, know that after making this difficult decision, Emperor Meiji ordered his people not to see any ministers in the past few days.
When the word spread to the people, many people thought that the emperor's decision was right, and these people only knew that among the besieged soldiers, there were probably relatives of their own.
The emperor's decision was naturally supported, regardless of the conditions agreed to by his government, as long as the relatives who fought in Mukden could return to their side safe and sound.
Although some people in the top echelons of the government were disappointed by this decision, the emperor's judgment had already come down, and what was the use of saying this, and the only way to do it in the next few years was to try to revitalize the country after this blow.
But these high-ranking members of the Japanese government never knew that Wang Bin would not give them hope for revival, and that the gains of the Meiji Restoration would dissipate with this time.
The next day, Zhu Erdian, who was far away in Mukden, received a telegram from China, which was very simple, and the new Japanese ambassador to Qing would come to sign the contract.
The moment he received the telegram, Zhu Erdian knew that the Japanese had finally accepted this harsh condition and rescued the besieged Japanese army.
Similarly, at this moment, Wang Bin also knew the news, and now in front of Wang Bin was sitting the Russian Minister Pukodi.
When Japan agreed to accept all its conditions, it was this morning that Pukodi made a special trip to tell him.
Although Wang Bin has his own intelligence system, this intelligence system can only be managed to the boundary of the three eastern provinces for the time being, and even North Korea is only slightly arranged.
For the time being, Wang Bin's intelligence system in Japan has not extended so far, but the Russians are different, and the Russians have deployed a certain number of secret agents and intelligence personnel in Japan, although they cannot find out about important information.
However, this kind of information that is not too confidential can still be investigated, so after the Meiji Emperor's holy judgment spread among the government, the great powers also learned about it.
Pu Kedi also learned the news from China in the morning, and ran to Wang Bin's house early in the morning to tell Wang Bin the exciting news.
"Your Excellency the Governor, according to the information from our country, the Emperor of Japan agreed to the terms of this mediation last night, and you are the biggest winner, Your Excellency the Governor."
As soon as he saw Wang Bin, Pu Kedi couldn't wait to tell Wang Bin the news.
And Wang Bin was a little surprised when he got up early in the morning to hear the news, and he was still counting on Japan to increase troops towards Mukden, and beat the Japanese army down in one fell swoop.
Anyway, according to Wang Bin's knowledge, except for the Guards Division in Japan, which still has combat effectiveness, the other divisions and regiments are all recruits with little combat effectiveness, so how can they fight with themselves.
But I didn't expect the Japanese to agree to their own conditions, or the emperor himself agreed, although the abacus did not work, but it successfully hit the national strength of the Japanese, and it can be regarded as a benefit.
"I didn't expect the Japanese to agree so quickly this time, and I estimated that I would have to tell the Japanese a little that I saw that Shangwen's army was about to be unable to support it, and oppressed the Japanese to agree as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, before these measures could be used, the Japanese government agreed to the official's conditions. ”
After listening to Wang Bin's words, Pu Kedi smiled first, and then continued to Wang Bin.
"Your Excellency the Governor is too modest, who in the current international community does not know that His Excellency the Governor's army can overwhelm the Japanese, and this time the Japanese agreed to these conditions, I am afraid that it will not be long before I can see the look of the British minister."
Indeed, since this war, no one in the Far East dares to underestimate Wang Bin's army, which is why the Russians are willing to stand with Wang Bin.
If you are weak, the powerful countries around you will bully you, and when you become strong, if that country wants to bully you, then use the cannon to teach him to be a man, and this is the case with Wang Bin now, after becoming strong, the Russians do not mind maintaining good relations with Wang Bin.
"Then the official will wait with His Excellency the Minister."
At noon, after Wang Bin and Pu Codi had lunch, they were blowing the electric fan in the living room and discussing the electric fan, when the American minister Rou Keyi arrived at Wang Bin, and Zhu Erdian also arrived at Wang Bin's mansion after the tea time.
While blowing electric fans, the two sides started today's topic.
To be honest, the ministers of the three countries have been very curious about the electric fan in the royal guest hall since the previous negotiations began.
After all, in the hot weather of July, there was such an electric fan in Wang Bin's living room, and a lot of heat was immediately dissipated.
And the ministers of the Three Kingdoms have never seen the electric fan, such a good thing to relieve heat is naturally welcome, Wang Bin saw that the ministers of the Three Kingdoms were so curious about the electric fan, so he also sent one to everyone.
So these ministers are still quite interested in electric fans.
The four of them sat down to greet each other on the spot, and then mediated under the electric fan.
The content of the mediation was very simple, that is, the Japanese accepted Wang Bin's conditions.
"Your Excellency, I have learned from Japan yesterday that the Japanese have agreed to all the conditions of His Excellency, and this time I have come to inform His Excellency of the Governor of the news.
The second is to hope that His Excellency the Governor will first come up with an agreement, and when the new Minister of the Japanese Government arrives, we can sign this agreement and formally declare the end of the war. ”
Zhu Erdian directly said the purpose of his visit this time, and this time Zhu Erdian can be said to be in order to reduce the losses suffered by the Japanese, and he has always been negotiating from the perspective of the Japanese.
However, due to Wang Bin's toughness, Zhu Erdian's efforts had no substantive effect at all, and the Japanese did not reduce their losses because the British were on their side.
If there is any benefit, it is that Britain has promised to give the Japanese government some economic help in the future.
After Zhu Erdian's words were finished, Wang Bin agreed very simply.
"Your Excellency the Minister, please rest assured that these cornering officials will still send people to do it."
After Wang Bin finished saying this, Zhu Erdian left without saying anything, and then Rou Keyi and Pu Kedi also left Wang Bin's mansion after congratulating Wang Bin.
And the only thing Wang Bin had to do was to wait for the agreement to be signed. (To be continued.) )
