"Baga, slyly Wang Sirui ......" In the Japanese embassy area of the capital, Komura Shoutaro angrily smashed the teacup in his hand, still unable to release the anger in his heart.

Just yesterday, the Japanese handed over 20,000 rifles and 4 million bullets to General Chongshan at one time.

And Chongshan also promised the Japanese, they only need to pay the miners' wages, and they can transport the mined ore away.

There is a price to pay, but if you only pay your wages, the Japanese are very satisfied. After all, whether they are responsible for mining or Chongshan is responsible for mining, the wages of workers are indispensable.

Now that Japan is not at war with China, it is impossible for Japan to send troops into the Shengjing area to forcibly take civilians to work as miners.

Therefore, the Japanese only put forward the condition that they should arrange personnel to supervise each mining area, and then the two sides reached an agreement, but all the iron ore that the Japanese fancy can be mined secretly.

It's just that what Komura Shoutaro didn't expect was that the Japanese and Chongshan had just finished trading yesterday, and now they were waiting for the Japanese to demarcate the address of the mining area, but Wang Sirui suddenly transferred Chongshan out of Shengjing.

And the newcomer General Shengjing can't fight with the Northeast Eight Poles, and the Japanese don't know anything about Zengqi, after all, Ningxia is deep inland, and the Japanese have not yet touched there.

"Komura-kun, Prime Minister Ito believes that this matter should be based on peace talks, and try to avoid the recurrence of war, because the Japanese Empire is no longer capable of supporting the attrition of a war." A thin middle-aged man glanced at Komura Shoutaro gently, steadily picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip of hot tea gently, and said without hurry.

"Baga, Yamaguchi-kun, the empire has just handed over a large number of arms to Chongshan, and before we can demarcate the mining area, Wang Sirui will transfer Chongshan away, which will greatly cause dissatisfaction among the guys in the navy and army." Komura Shoutaro said a little angrily.

If this incident is a coincidence, then Komura Shoutaro does not believe it at all.

There are many, many coincidences in this world, but there are never such coincidences. Wang Sirui must have learned the news in advance, and then waited for the Japanese to hand over the arms, so he immediately transferred Chongshan and sent a person who was not familiar to the Japanese to serve as the general of Shengjing, so as to delay the Japanese control of the mining area, and at the same time, use this incident to carry out diplomatic pressure, or force Britain, France, the United States and other countries to put pressure on Japan.

Komura Shoutaro does this kind of work, so he knows very well what to do if he is Wang Sirui in this situation.

"Even if they are dissatisfied, this anger will not burn on you, Komura-kun. The empire now has no extra funds to support the consumption of a war, and now Wang Sirui must hope that we can send troops, because only if we send troops will he have reason to refuse to pay the first indemnity before the end of next month. And when the time comes, the Western powers, which have not received the reparations, will definitely put pressure on us.

Once this matter is big, it will not be beneficial to us, Wang Sirui will keep a firm eye on us, and the great powers will also keep a firm eye on us, as long as we make any changes, Wang Sirui will refuse to pay compensation, and the great powers will immediately put pressure.

Once our purpose is revealed, the Great Powers will certainly put pressure on us. Even if the British agreed, there was only one Britain after all, and the Russians in the north would definitely muddy the waters at that time. Yamaguchi said very calmly.

Yamaguchi Yuichi was sent by Japanese Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito to support Komura Shoutaro, and the two of them had only one purpose, to take the iron ore in the Tohoku region to support Japan's domestic needs.

Although the two have the same purpose, they are not the same in some ideas.

Yamaguchi is well aware of Japan's current weakness, and he also knows where Hirobumi Ito's bottom line is, so he will not easily let Komura Shoutaro apply for war until this bottom line is touched.

"What then? We've already spent a lot of munitions, and now we're going to have to start all over again, which will delay at least a month, or more. Komura Shoutaro said a little impatiently, and at the same time couldn't help but scold Wang Sirui again.

"Since the matter has not been done, then we naturally have a reason to recover our losses, and then it depends on whether Chongshan dares to disobey the orders of the so-called imperial court. If it really doesn't work, we will contact Zengqi, buy him at the same price, and at the same time send people to look for mining areas in the Shengjing area, we should make the same preparations, and once a new agreement is reached, the mining work will start immediately. Yamaguchi said.

Subsequently, looking at Komura Shoutaro, who was still a little unconvinced, Yamaguchi Ichi continued: "In this matter, it is not as soon as possible, and don't think that this is the result of Wang Sirui's deliberation, according to our understanding, Chongshan's term of office should come after the year, maybe this time it is just a normal personnel transfer." What we have to do is to solve all our worries, and under this premise, it doesn't matter if we delay for a month or two. ”

"Alas, that's all there is to it!" Komura Shoutaro gradually dissipated his anger, after all, he was able to come to this position, Komura Shoutaro's own strength is still no problem, he was just stunned by the previous news.

Now that he calmed down, Komura Shoutaro easily figured out the reason.

…………

Shengjing General's Mansion,

Yesterday's Shengjing General's Mansion ushered in his new master, Zengqi with more than 700 guards and soldiers, replacing Chongshan into the Shengjing General's Mansion.

And the former Shengjing general Chongshan could only leave Shengjing very helplessly in the end and went to Suiyuan City to take over the post of General Suiyuan City.

The Japanese shamelessly recovered the weapons they paid for from Chongshan, and finally forced Chongshan to take out some silver taels from the treasury of the General's Mansion and buy 1,000 rifles and 50,000 bullets from the Japanese.

Since ancient times, there has been a tradition in China, whether it is the Han people or the period of foreign rule, the transfer of officials, the political and military leaders in various places will not follow the changes.

Therefore, Chongshan can only take away his 1,000 private army, and this 1,000 private army is also tasked with protecting Chongshan's safety.

Before leaving, Chongshan finally changed his private army, but Wang Sirui did not pursue this.

After the Japanese removed the arms from the warehouse, Chongshan left the Shengjing General's Mansion with a thousand guards and a family with a somewhat gloomy expression.

On the second day after Zengqi entered the Shengjing General's Mansion, the Japanese came to the door, and they directly told Zengqi the purpose of the Japanese and the weight of the transaction, but although Zengqi knew the truth of the matter, he did not dare to give the Japanese any positive answer easily.

Zeng Qi could only temporarily refuse the Japanese on the grounds that he had just arrived in Shengjing and did not know the situation, but he told the Japanese that he would tell the Japanese his choice in half a month at the latest.

After the Japanese left the General's Mansion, in the guest hall of the General's Mansion, a middle-aged man in a blue cloth shirt slowly walked in.

"The Japanese offered to exchange 19,000 rifles and 3,950,000 bullets for some iron ore in Shengjing, and I told them that I would tell them my choice within half a month at the latest." The light on Zengqi's face suddenly dimmed at this moment, in front of the Japanese, he was General Shengjing, but in front of the person in front of him, he didn't have any rights, everything had to be approved by this person.

This made Zeng Qi feel very helpless, very depressed, and even wanted to resist. But as soon as he thought of his family in the capital, Zeng Qi dispelled the idea of resisting.

"It's a little less than the conditions offered to Chongshan, it seems that the Japanese don't take you seriously." Song Bu, who was dressed in green clothes, said half-jokingly.

As the second-in-command of the intelligence department, Wang Sirui sent Song Bu to Shengjing this time, and while monitoring Zengqi, he secretly developed the power of the Han army in Shengjing, so as to lay the foundation for the Han army to enter Shengjing in the future.

"Half a month later, tell the Japanese that the imperial court has agreed to the deal between you, but the Japanese must pay you 100,000 rifles and 20 million bullets in exchange for the mining rights of the three mining areas in the Shengjing area. In these mines, the Japanese were allowed to send a small number of personnel to supervise them, but all the mining work had to be carried out by the locals, and the Japanese had to pay the corresponding wages, and we were responsible for transporting the ore to Yingkou, but the cost had to be paid by the Japanese. Song Bu then stated his conditions.

Of course, this was not Song Bu's idea, but Wang Sirui's idea.

He must delay the start of the war as much as possible, so the negotiation naturally needs to delay time, the price should not be higher, how can the two sides bargain? How can you delay time?

The Japanese approached Wang Sirui to discuss the matter of the Shengjing mining area, but Wang Sirui rejected it at that time.

But now he asked Zengqi to tell the Japanese that the imperial court had agreed to their deal, which could make the Japanese relax their vigilance a little, mistakenly thinking that Wang Sirui had made a compromise, on the other hand, Wang Sirui also needed to extort a batch of weapons from the Japanese and arm his troops as quickly as possible.

Zeng Qi nodded, and then there was some hesitation on his face, the words came to his mouth, but he had to swallow it back, after many times of such entanglement, Zeng Qi finally mustered up the courage to ask: "If I don't disobey any of your instructions, can you ensure the safety of my family?" ”

"Don't worry, our Han army has always been a man of his word." Song Bu gave an affirmative answer.
