Chapter 720: Dry Japanese Negotiations
Kim Yoon-sik "will return to the museum every time he talks, talk about the grass in his hands, and send it to his home country for the second view." However, at that time, Kim Yoon-sik did not have full powers from the king of Joseon, so he never met with the American representative Schaefer. However, the talks between Kim Yun-sik and Ri Shao-chuan paved the way for the signing of the "DPRK-US Treaty of Reconciliation and Commerce" and laid a good foundation for the smooth signing of treaties with Western countries in the future.
With regard to the situation of such an important Korean minister who has close ties with the country, the all-pervasive Japanese will naturally not let it go.
"I heard that this person was appointed by the king of Joseon to stay in Ganghwa Mansion and was responsible for the formation of a new army, that is, the Zhuangwei Battalion of the Beijing Army, and this person has a good relationship with Yuan Weiting, the commander of the cadre army who suppressed the mutiny, and has already played the king of Joseon, asking the king to entrust Yuan Weiting to train the new army." Another intelligence officer, Tatsujiro Uezaki, suddenly said to the side.
"Yuan Weiting......" Sen Youli heard Yuan Weiting's name, and his face changed slightly.
"It is really surprising that the boss of the Qianguo and the corrupt country can give birth to such talents...... Sen Youli recalled Yuan Weiting's various actions since the mutiny, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"He is just a small commander, but he has such a means, with lightning speed, to quell the rebellion, without provoking the people's uprising, is indeed very remarkable." Kiritsu Taro said, "I knew this earlier, in fact, we shouldn't have informed him in advance that day, the Heavenly Daoists were going to attack." ”
"Even if you don't inform him, he will be ready to deal with it, and the result will still be the same." Sen Youli shook his head, "With 800 tired soldiers from afar, 5,000 fierce cavalry bandits are wiped out, it is not something ordinary people can do......"
"Don't you notice? This Yuan Weiting's style of acting is very much like a person's ......" Speaking of which. A hint of fear flashed in Mori Youli's eyes.
"Like a man? Who is it? Taro Kiritura asked in surprise.
Sen Youli sighed and did not say the name "Lin Yiqing".
After all, there is no direct evidence, everything is speculation in his heart, and he doesn't want to let this name, which has made countless Japanese people tremble and hate, affect the emotions of his subordinates at this critical time.
Long before the arrival of the dry army. Mori Youri had already met with King Yi Hee of Joseon and Daewon-jun, who had been elected by the mutinous military and civilians to return to power, and negotiated with Hong Chun-mu, the Korean consul appointed by Daewon-jung to receive the Japanese mission, and Lee Hui-jeong, the judge of Reichso, and others. In the so-called "letter of demand," Japan put forward seven articles, including punishing the perpetrators of the Renwu Mutiny, compensating the Japanese victims and various losses, opening more commercial ports, and allowing Japan to send a squadron of 800 troops to Seoul to protect the Japanese embassy, and threatened the Korean government to reply within three days. Hong Chunmu and others repeatedly delayed the state funeral for Concubine Min under the pretext of arranging a state funeral, and the always xenophobic Dayuanjun was also angered by the rudeness and cruelty of the Japanese. Dissatisfied with the delaying tactics of the North Koreans, Mori left Seoul and returned to the barracks. In order to show that the negotiations broke down, he did not dare to issue an ultimatum to the North Korean government, and once the negotiations broke down, he resorted to force. Therefore, the two sides faced off on the front line of Seoul and Incheon.
Many of the rebels were dissatisfied with the Japanese soldiers coming to the city of Seoul, and from time to time sent small units to harass the Japanese army, but the Japanese army repulsed, and the Korean army suffered a lot of casualties due to the lack of firearms and inferior equipment. And the Japanese army had sharp guns and was well-trained. Only 5 soldiers were killed and 15 were injured in the skirmishes of these days. The low combat strength of the North Korean army gave Mori a certain amount of confidence, and with the news of the intelligence officers' inquiry, although Daewonjun issued a mobilization order to fight the Japanese army, the call for "rebuke and rebuke" in North Korea was once high, but after all, its own strength was weak. After calming down, many Koreans were terrified of fighting the Japanese, and many soldiers even began to desert, and just as Mori was about to take the opportunity to put further pressure on the Korean government, the cadres arrived.
Since then, the situation has developed completely unexpectedly for the Japanese. Although the scale of the Korean mutiny was very large, and it had the tendency to spread throughout the country, it quickly collapsed under the ferocious attack of the cadre army, and the cadre army did not fall into the quagmire of war, but came from behind, firmly occupied the dominant position, distributed food and wages on behalf of the people, gave relief to the victims, destroyed the bandits, and then dismissed the Daewonjun, welcomed back Concubine Min, supported the king's personal government, and punished the culprits of the mutiny and corrupt officials, which not only quickly restored the order of the DPRK to normal, but also won the hearts of the people of the DPRK, and gave orders above the DPRK government. It greatly strengthened the position of the suzerain.
Now that the Koreans have the backing of the Qianguo, it can be said that it is even more difficult for the Japanese to achieve the goal of obtaining benefits through negotiations.
Mori Youli was thinking about how to open the situation, when he saw an officer hurriedly walk in.
"Your Excellency, Yuan Weiting, the commander of the cadre army, has sent someone to invite you to Seoul for talks." The officer reported to Mori.
"Yuan Weiting? He wants to talk to me? Sen Youli was stunned for a moment, and asked the officer, "Are you sure it's not Wu Changqing or Ding Yuting who wants me to come over?" ”
The officer did not answer, but presented the invitation in his hand to Mori.
After seeing that it was indeed Yuan Weiting who invited him on the invitation, a trace of anger flashed in Sen Youli's eyes.
"I am the minister of the Japanese Empire, representing His Majesty the Emperor and the country, and he Yuan Weiting is just a small commander-in-chief, and he does not have full powers granted by the Qianguo government, why should I talk to him?" Mori Youli said angrily.
"Your Excellency, we have not been able to negotiate with the North Korean government these days, although we have no need to talk to Yuan Weiting, but since the other party has placed an invitation, we will go over and take a look, and maybe we will learn something that we don't know." Taro Kiritura said.
Mori Youli thought about it for a moment, nodded, and then ordered the guards to assemble, he deliberately changed into a military uniform, and then set off.
What surprised Sen Youli was that Yuan Weiting actually entertained him in a side hall of the Joseon royal palace.
is different from the arrogant and rude appearance that Sen Youli imagined, Yuan Weiting at this time turned out to be a kind look of smiling Mimi, and when he saw Sen Youli coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.
"I should have visited Mr. Mori a long time ago, but I was busy with business. I haven't been able to get it, so I took the liberty of asking Mr. to come today, and I hope that Mr. will not blame. Yuan Weiting said as he invited Sen Youli to sit down and pour him tea with his own hands.
Mori Yuri looked at the short, 23-year-old young man in front of him, and it was difficult to connect him with the soldier who slaughtered the mob of the Korean rebels with iron and blood.
"General Yuan invited me to come. Is it for negotiation, or ......" Seeing Yuan Weiting's actions of entertaining guests, Sen Youli asked suspiciously.
"Please come, sir, of course business is to be discussed." Yuan Weiting smiled and handed the teacup to Sen Youli's hand, and then sat down opposite him.
"I am the minister of Japan, I am here on behalf of the Japanese government, and I have a power of attorney from the Chinese government, do you want General Yuan to take a look at it first?" Mori Youli said and beckoned. The attendant immediately took out a document from his briefcase and put it in front of Yuan Weiting.
The reason why Sen Youli is like this is that he thinks that Yuan Weiting is a martial artist, who only works bravely with his blood, and is not familiar with international law and diplomatic rules, and he is sure that Yuan Weiting must not have the authorization of the Qianguo government, and if Yuan Weiting cannot produce the corresponding authorization documents, then he naturally does not need to talk to him about anything.
Yuan Weiting smiled slightly. I picked up Mori's carte blanche and opened it and looked at it carefully. Nodding, he closed the power of attorney and pushed it back in front of Mori.
Sen Youli didn't speak again, but stared at Yuan Weiting, waiting for him to come up with the same thing.
Yuan Weiting seemed to understand what Sen Youli was thinking, and he still had a smile on his face. I saw him clap his hands, and a cadre soldier stepped forward with a small square wooden box in his hand.
