The arrival of the Japanese army so soon was really unexpected by Feng Delin, originally he thought that he would have the opportunity to continue to go south to the South Korean Peninsula, and a little more looting would be of great use to his army, after all, he did not have any financial resources to support so many troops.

Feng Delin knew that Japan must have a large amount of reserve supplies in Seoul, but after asking the soldiers to search, they found that there were too few supplies in Seoul, so they immediately went to ask the residents of Seoul and the surrendered Japanese army, and soon found the place where some of the supplies were hidden and obtained a large amount of supplies. The Northeast Army only received less than two-thirds of the supplies, the surrendered Japanese soldiers knew only a limited number of hiding places, and the time was urgent, so the Northeast Army did not have enough time and energy to lift up the entire Seoul to take a look.

In the evening, the Northeast Army rushed back to Anzhou with Li Wei and others and a large pile of supplies, leaving only the dilapidated Seoul and a large group of aristocratic lords and merchants who cried for their fathers and mothers. All the things that could be moved in the Joseon palace were moved by Li Kun, and Feng Delin also took the opportunity to take a lot, many of which were antiques and the like, and he took some of the Chinese antiques collected by North Korea for thousands of years. The Japanese have already taken a lot of things from the palace, so what they can take away is not worth much,

The news of conquering Seoul and rescuing the North Korean Lee family Feng Delin telegraphed to Qin Yu as soon as possible, and his mission was a complete success.

Shortly after the withdrawal of the Northeast Army, the Japanese landed at Inchon and quickly rushed to Seoul, but unfortunately they were still a little late, Seoul had already fallen, and their Korean governor had committed suicide.

Tokyo, Prime Minister's Office, Prime Minister Gonbei Yamamoto was roaring frantically with a telegram, and the top brass of the Navy and Army knelt on the ground and bowed their heads and did not dare to speak, listening quietly.

"Bastard, what's going on with the 18th Division, even a little Feng Delin can't look at it, and he was wiped out by others, shame, a shame that the Great Japanese Empire has never had!"

"Seoul has also been lost, and the old stubbornness of Korea has escaped, which will bring great trouble to the empire, but fortunately there is a better control of the Korean emperor in our hands. The governor of Korea, General Terauchi Masaui, has already sacrificed his life for the country, and his thousands of troops are no match for the tens of thousands of troops of the Northeast Army. ”

"After statistics, the Northeast Army entered North Korea this time to sabotage, a large number of imperial industries were destroyed, and the losses were very serious, and the domestic businessmen have begun to be dissatisfied with us, they think that it was the cabinet's mistake that led to the occurrence of the North Korean incident, and our crisis is coming!"

Yamamoto Gonbei was very angry with the 18th Division, and it was a shame that he was killed by the weak Feng Delin's army! But he didn't dare to say much about Terauchi Zhengyi, how to say that Terauchi Zhengyi had also served as the Minister of War three times, and he had a relatively high reputation in the Army, and he didn't want to offend even the Army.

The distrust of the merchants was the first crisis after the Yamamoto cabinet came to power, and without the support of the merchants of the empire, he would not have dared to launch an offensive against the Tohoku so soon, and the forced Yamamoto Gonbei promised these merchants more preferential treatment in the Tohoku in the future, which calmed down for a while.

The destruction of Japanese industry in Korea was undoubtedly a blow to Japan as a whole, and now that Japan was blockaded by the Entente and the Allies, various restrictions made Japan, which was very resource-scarce, very passive, and Korea was a concentration of resources.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, why don't you let the navy blockade the waters of China and prevent China from receiving support from other countries? Why not conduct a naval military operation in China, our navy will definitely be able to take out the navy of China. War Minister Yukihiko Kusunase asked suspiciously.

"Xingyan-kun, we can't blockade the waters of China, China now has huge cooperation with the Entente or the Alliance, or the United States and other countries, their First Five-Year Plan has tied up the vast majority of countries in the world, and the blockade of the waters of China is to be the enemy of the whole world, and the empire does not have this ability. Now the empire simply does not have the strength and preparation to conquer the entire China, if we push too hard, we will lead the Zhina and the empire to fight to the death, according to the character of the newly appointed emperor of the China, he will definitely use all his strength to declare war with the empire, and then it will be a situation of non-death, which is not what the empire wants.

Now China doesn't want to expand the war with the empire, they also want to keep the war in the northeast, and the empire also has this meaning, so both sides have a tacit understanding in this regard. We will continue to weaken China until one day we will have the strength to completely conquer China and then attack it in a big way, and then the whole of East Asia will be ours. Yamamoto Gonbei analyzed.

Everyone present thought about it for a while and felt that it was very reasonable, the empire really did not have the strength and preparation to conquer the entire China, and the current conquest of the Northeast is the most important, and the resources of the Northeast are a big cake.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, it is better for me to build a navy to put pressure on China appropriately, so that it will be of great use to the imperial army in the northeast." The Minister of the Navy built yì road.

"This is good, pressure is necessary, and we must not let the people of China live too easily. By the way, what's going on over there in Treasure Island (Taiwan), will there be any movement in the alliance? Yamamoto asked after a moment's thought.

"Yes, they want to expand their power in the northeast, and the treasure island can no longer satisfy them, Sun has been monitored by us, and all actions are under our attention."

"The Northeast will not let them go, it is Manchukuo, so the Manchus can better manage there, give them funds, let them go to the inland to develop their own forces, and then counterattack." Gonbei Yamamoto said.

The Yamamoto Gonbei cabinet will have to appease those people in the next time, after all, the breach of Seoul is a big news, and they can't help it if they blockade it, so they can only try their best to calm it down, and by the way, give some hatred to China.

At the same time in the Chinese Empire, Qin Yu was very happy after receiving Feng Delin's telegram, Seoul was the most important Japanese stronghold in Korea, and now it was captured by the Northeast Army, and I don't know how Japan will react.

"Jingle Bell ......"

The hand-cranked phone in Qin Yu's office rang, and he picked it up and heard, "Report to Your Majesty, I'm Chen Fu, and Li Yan from North Korea hopes to be able to see His Majesty alone, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"Let him come, it's time to meet him."

Half an hour later, Li Yan came in under the leadership of the Praetorian Guards, holding a rectangular box in his hand.

Li Yi held the box and saluted Qin Yu, "I have seen the great Majesty, the minister is the Prince of Joseon, Li Kun, I wish the great emperor Long live His Majesty!" Banzai! Hooray!! ”

"Okay, it's a new era now, you don't need to perform these old rituals, is there anything wrong? Qin Yu asked deliberately.

"The minister came to ask His Majesty for help with the holy decree of his father and brother, hoping that His Majesty could help us expel the Japanese army for the sake of our country's state."

"It's not impossible, Fanbang is also a part of China, we will help, but if you want to expel the Japanese army from the Korean Peninsula, the empire will pay a huge price. And we don't have an explanation for the people of the empire, otherwise they wouldn't support it. ”

Qin Yu said that how could Li Yan, who was shrewd in this situation, not understand, "The minister agrees to the conditions that Prime Minister Chen said, and after the restoration of the country, we will do what His Majesty asks, and we can even give more." However, the minister also has one condition, I want to be the king of Joseon!! ”

He was not surprised to hear that he wanted to be the king of Joseon, but he was curious about how Li Kun would arrange his father and brother.

"Oh, can you represent the whole of North Korea?"

Li Yan opened the box, revealing two holy decrees inside, "Your Majesty, this is the holy decree of my father and brother, they have already handed over the matter of restoring the country to the minister, so the minister can negotiate with you on behalf of the Korean royal family." ”

"Okay, leave this holy decree, wait for me to let someone verify the authenticity, I hope you don't lie to me. If you can promise to cede Jeju Island and its affiliated islands to me, I will make you king of Joseon and give you financial help. Qin Yu looked at Li Yan and said.

"No problem, Jeju Island will also be ceded to His Majesty, I hope His Majesty will not break his promise. In addition to this, the minister wants His Majesty to grant us admission places to the Imperial Military Academy and its other higher academies. After thinking for a while, Li Yan said ruthlessly, in his opinion, there is not one more North Korean navy, and it is still in the hands of Japan, so what if it is given to Huaxia.

"The quota is not a problem, you can go to the prime minister to talk to the prime minister, and you have to sign an agreement to save problems in the future." Qin Yu nodded and said.

Li Yan knew that the matter was done, and he also saw that Qin Yu didn't want to continue talking, so he retired very interestingly.

After Li Yan left, Qin Yu asked the Praetorian Guards to take the holy decree in the box to a specialized person for identification, although he looked at the content of the holy decree and understood it, but he didn't know if it was true. At this time, the official North Korean script was still used in Huaxia instead of Korean, so Qin Yu could understand it.

Although he agreed on the surface, Qin Yu still didn't want Li Xi to be the king of Joseon, because Li Yi was not easy to control, but fortunately, Li Xi was rescued by Feng Delin, and he could support Li Xi to control Joseon in the future.

Li Yan made this decision out of desperation, if there is no support of the Huaxia Empire, maybe he may not be able to restore the country when he dies of old age, and if he can restore the country, what if he can restore the country, it is better than merging the entire country into Japan, and I believe that the people will also support him. If it weren't for the Japanese invasion, the throne of Korea would be fought for by him and Li Kun, and the cowardly Li Kun was not his opponent at all, but the Japanese supported Li Kun to the throne, and he could only be aggrieved as a prince, and he was constantly monitored by the Japanese, he didn't like this kind of life, so he would escape for the restoration operation.

The reason why he came alone was because he wanted to cut first and then play, he knew that An Changhao and the others would definitely stop him, so it was better to sign it himself, and then they would not disagree.
