Chapter 126: Captured most of North Korea

With the order of the commander of the 6th Division, Sakai Fengren, the Japanese troops of the 6th Division in the entire Pyongyang City began to pack their bags in a panic, and before the Dingbei Army reached Pyongyang City, more than 10,000 Japanese troops of the 6th Division withdrew from the south gate of Pyongyang City and fled towards Seoul, the capital of North Korea!

Lin Daxin led three divisions of the Dingbei Army to Pyongyang City, but the vanguard reported that the Japanese army had abandoned Pyongyang City and continued to flee to the south.

Lin Daxin chuckled: "I didn't expect the Japanese army to fight, but it was quite neat to escape!" Order the 10th Division to leave a regiment to guard the city of Pyongyang! The other troops continued to pursue southward, and we determined that the northern army would keep driving the Japanese into the sea! โ€

When the Dingbei Army entered Pyongyang City, the Korean people in Pyongyang City were immediately overjoyed, and the army of the Heavenly Empire finally came to Korea and drove away the Japanese who oppressed them, and tens of thousands of Korean people in Pyongyang City poured into the streets to welcome the Dingbei Army into the city with songs and dances.

Lin Daxin saw the appearance of the Korean people in Pyongyang City, nodded with satisfaction, and ordered the Dingbei Army stationed in Pyongyang City to pay attention to military discipline, leave a good impression on the people of Pyongyang City, and severely punish the soldiers of the Dingbei Army who violated military discipline.

Subsequently, the three divisions of the Dingbei Army continued to pursue the Japanese Sixth Division all the way to the outside of Seoul, the capital of North Korea.

After the commander of the 6th Division, Sakai Fengren, fled into Seoul with more than 10,000 Japanese troops, and joined the soldiers of the 6th Division of a wing in Seoul.

Keisuke Oshima said to Sakai Fengren, "Commander of the Sakai Division." I have united the ministers of several other countries in Seoul and will immediately go to the commander of the Dingbei Army and ask them to withdraw from Korea immediately in accordance with the Qing-Japanese armistice treaty! Please ask the commander of the Sakai Division to lead the troops and wait for my news in Seoul! โ€

Sakai Fengren hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Otori-kun." The tens of thousands of troops of the Dingbei Army attacked Korea, and our Sixth Division could not resist at all, so in order to save the lives of the imperial soldiers, we retreated all the way to the south. It would be great if Otori-kun could get the Dingbei Army to withdraw from Korea! Please, Big Bird-kun! โ€

Keisuke Otori actually despised Sakai Fengren in front of him very much in his heart, a large Japanese standing division, and he didn't even dare to resist in the face of the Dingbei Army. In a short period of time, most of the DPRK was lost, and even the Qing army in Korea at that time was not defeated so quickly.

However, Keisuke Otori said with an unchanged face: "I will leave the city with the other ministers immediately. Captain Sakai is waiting for my good news in Seoul! โ€

After Lin Daxin led the three divisions of the Dingbei Army to the north of Seoul, he ordered the divisions to rest and prepare to attack Hancheng, the capital of Korea, when Zhang Daxiong, the commander of the Sixth Division, hurriedly walked over. "Headmaster! News came from the front troops, and a group of people came out of Seoul, saying that they were British, French, German, Russian, American, and Japanese ministers to Korea, and they wanted to meet the supreme commander of our Dingbei Army! โ€

Lin Daxin frowned when he heard this, these people must have come to stop attacking North Korea, and even retreat to the north bank of the Yalu River, but since he decided to meddle in North Korea, he would definitely not go back like this. Even if a few Western powers exert pressure together, don't try to change your mind. Lin Daxin gritted his teeth and said, "Let them come over!" I meet them and see what they say! โ€

Lin Daxin met with the envoys of the six countries in the DPRK in a private house on the outskirts of Seoul, and the Japanese minister to the DPRK, Keisuke Otori, was guided by the soldiers of the Dingbei Military Guard Regiment. Hurried into the room of the house. As soon as he saw Lin Daxin, who was sitting on a chair and swaying Erlang's legs leisurely, he asked with a slashed face: "Lin Sang, don't you know that the Qing Dynasty has signed an armistice treaty with Japan?" Don't you know that the treaty stipulates that Japan has become the suzerainty of Korea? Don't you know that such an attack on Korea by yours will rekindle the war between the Qing Dynasty and Japan? โ€

Listening to the three consecutive questions of the Japanese Minister Keisuke Otori, Lin Daxin continued to shake Erlang's leg and sneered, glanced at Keisuke Otori contemptuously with his eyes and said, "This Japanese Minister Mr. I know that the Qing Dynasty has already ceased war with Japan! I also know that Korea will be placed under the jurisdiction of Japan in the future! โ€

Keisuke Otori said angrily: "Since Lin Sang knows everything! Why take the initiative to attack North Korea? โ€

"Wow-" all of a sudden. Lin Daxin stood up from his chair abruptly and shouted, "Just because of Lao Tzu, I'm not happy, okay?" Grandma's, you Japan will fight when you say it. If you don't fight, you won't fight! Have you discussed it with our Dingbei Army? I'm going to take you Japanese out of Korea to the sea now, and I'm going to see what you Japan can do to me. โ€

Otori Keisuke suppressed the anger in his heart, he came to ask Lin Daxin to withdraw from North Korea, not to quarrel with Lin Daxin, he softened his tone, frowned and said: "Lin Sang, your court has already ceased war with our Great Japan!" If you are so bent on going your own way, your Qing Dynasty will not agree to you doing this, how do you explain to your Qing court? โ€

Lin Daxin laughed loudly, waved his hand at Keisuke Otori, and said indifferently: "Hehe, thank you for your concern for Lin." As for the question of how I will explain to the Qing court, I will give the Qing court an explanation, so I don't need to worry about the Japanese minister! I think Mr. Minister should hurry up and discuss with your Japanese garrison, and immediately pack up your things and leave Korea! Otherwise, don't blame me for the Northern Army sweeping away your North Korean garrison! โ€

Keisuke Otori was angry by Lin Daxin's rogue attitude, and he was speechless when he pointed at Lin Daxin.

At this time, the British minister to Korea said: "Mr. Lin, the Qing Dynasty has signed an armistice treaty with Japan under the witness of our five countries, and Mr. Lin is now reopening the war without authorization, not to mention how the Qing court is, Mr. Lin's behavior is already a provocation to our five countries!" โ€

When Lin Daxin heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Mr. British Minister, in the war between the Qing Dynasty and Japan, our Beiyang Naval Division of the Qing Dynasty annihilated the Japanese Combined Fleet, and our Dingbei Army also wiped out hundreds of thousands of Japanese Army, and finally the Japanese Army's Southern Route Army was chased by the Dingbei Army. The wolf bรจi fled to Russia! The Japanese Army's Northern Route Army was also in a dilemma under the city of Beijing, as long as we determined that the large army of the Northern Army would go out of Shanhaiguan and attack the Japanese Army's Northern Route Army in the south. It was only a matter of time before the Japanese Northern Route Army was wiped out! The victory of this war must belong to the Qing Dynasty. I, Lin Daxin, have never seen a war win, but I ended up ceding land and paying reparations, what is this called an armistice treaty! I'm Lin Daxin! I, the Dingbei Army, don't admit it! โ€

The French minister next to him opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, he wanted to sue Lin Daxin that he won the war but ceded the land and paid reparations, and the war between the Qing Dynasty and France was like this a few years ago! However, the French envoy to the DPRK saw Lin Daxin, who was excited, and did not stimulate him again!

The British minister shrugged his shoulders and said, "Mr. Lin." As for the matter of the Qing Dynasty winning the war but ceding land and paying reparations, our British Empire cannot control it. That's your Qing court's problem! Now we, the British Empire, only want Mr. Lin to abide by the treaty that has been signed, and immediately return from the territory of Korea to the northeast of the Qing Dynasty, that is, to the north bank of the Yalu River. โ€

When Lin Daxin heard this, the green tendons in his temples bulged out, and his teeth crunched. He squinted his eyes and glanced at the British minister to North Korea, and his voice suddenly became very calm and said, "What if I don't withdraw from North Korea?" โ€

Although the British envoy to North Korea heard Lin Daxin's questioning, he heard the turbulent waves behind the calm voice.

In fact, the British minister to the DPRK also felt a bit of a headache for Lin Daxin, who not only had a new army of more than 100,000 people, but also had the most powerful naval fleet in the whole of Asia. The British Empire really can't deal with Lin Daxin lightly, unless the British Empire sends a main fleet of the Royal Navy and more than 100,000 elite troops of the army to carry out an expedition against Lin Daxin's forces in the Qing Dynasty!

The British Empire used such a large force to expedition to most of the world, just to deal with a local power in the Qing Dynasty. The British Parliament will never agree to this plan!

Lin Daxin's question, the British minister to the DPRK did not answer for a long time.

The French, German, Russian, and American ministers to the DPRK suddenly became dumb when they saw the British envoys to the DPRK. The four of them looked at each other, and then began to put pressure on Lin Daxin in the name of their respective countries one by one. But Lin Daxin rolled his eyes and insisted that he would never withdraw from North Korea, and Lin Daxin said that he was about to become the governor of the three northeastern provinces, and he would never allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch, and he Lin Daxin would never allow an ambitious neighbor next to the three northeastern provinces!

The envoys of the five countries to the DPRK saw Lin Daxin's resolute attitude. They gathered together to discuss for a long time, and finally found Keisuke Otori, the Japanese minister to Korea, to discuss.

The British minister to Korea said to Keisuke Otori, "Minister Otori. Looking at Lin Daxin's attitude in the Qing Dynasty now, he will definitely not withdraw from North Korea. And Lin Daxin's Dingbei Army is strong in combat, and your Japanese garrison in Korea can't resist the Dingbei Army at all. Therefore, for the sake of Japan's interests in Korea, our ministers of the five countries have discussed a solution, whether it is possible to divide Korea into two, part of which will belong to Lin Daxin's Dingbei Army, and part of it will belong to you Japan! โ€

Keisuke Otori's eyes widened in disbelief and he looked at the British envoy to Korea and exclaimed, "How can this be done!" The armistice treaty between the Qing Dynasty and Japan clearly stipulated that Korea belonged to Japan, and that Japan was the suzerainty of Korea! How can we Japan now give half of the Korean land to Lin Daxin's Dingbei Army? It's not fair! This is very unfair to us in Japan! โ€

The British minister to the DPRK shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Mr. Big Bird, this is the best way that the ministers of our five countries can think of!" In this way, at least you Japan still retains half of Korea, which is much better than your Japanese army being driven out of Korea by the Dingbei Army and letting Lin Daxin monopolize Korea! I hope Mr. Otori will think about it, this may be the most beneficial solution for you in Japan at the moment! โ€

Keisuke Otori had a feeling of abandonment, and he shouted a little hoarsely: "The Dingbei Army is an invasion!" Lin Daxin: This is trampling on the dignity of the Japanese Empire! And Lin Daxin's unscrupulous invasion and occupation of North Korea is not also contempt for your five treaty witness countries? Are your five Treaty Witnesses indifferent? โ€

The British minister to Korea frowned at Keisuke Otori's appearance and said, "Mr. Otori, please calm down!" As witnesses to the armistice treaty between the Qing Dynasty and Japan, our five countries strongly condemned Lin Daxin's Dingbei Army's attack on Korea! But Mr. Otori must know that we can only condemn it, and we will not send troops to attack the Dingbei Army that occupies Korea for the sake of your Japanese Korea! If you, Japan, do not agree with my construction, in the face of the strong military strength of the Dingbei Army, you Japan will definitely not be able to protect even half of Korea. โ€

Keisuke Otori heard that the whole person became sluggish, and said weakly: "I need to report the construction of the ministers of the five countries to the base camp of the Japanese mainland!" โ€

The British envoy to Korea nodded and said, "I hope you can do your best, and we will persuade that Lin Daxin to accept our proposal." Oh! God can prove that I really don't want to see that Lin Daxin, he is so stubborn! I hope he agrees to this plan, or we'll all have a headache! โ€

Then the envoys of the five countries in the DPRK told Lin Daxin their plan, and Lin Daxin was ready to oppose it subconsciously when he heard it, but Lin Daxin suddenly thought of a problem, so he carefully considered this plan. Although it is not possible to completely drive the Japanese into the sea, it is better to occupy half of Korea by yourself, so that you don't have to worry about the Korean royal family after the occupation of Korea. I can divide half of the land of Korea into China's territory, and as for the half of Korea occupied by Japan, I will have the opportunity to clean it up in the future!

The Japanese base camp received a telegram from Keisuke Otori, and was immediately furious! Emperor Meiji said angrily: "Which way are the ministers of these five countries in the DPRK going!" Isn't this a clear betrayal of Japan's interests? โ€

Japanese Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi sighed and persuaded Emperor Meiji to say: "Your Majesty, those five countries will not send troops to deal with Lin Daxin for the sake of our great Japan's Korea, if we do not agree to the solution proposed by the envoys of these five countries to Korea!" The Dingbei Army will continue to wave its troops southward and drive our Japanese troops in Korea into the sea, which means that we will not even get half of Korea! His Majesty the Emperor, the most important thing for us in Greater Japan now is that we need time to bury our heads in development and wait for the day when Great Japan will truly rise! โ€

Emperor Meiji nodded helplessly and said lonely: "Okay! Let's get Keisuke Otori to fight for as much Korean territory as possible for Japan! โ€

In the end, Lin Daxin and Keisuke Otori fought for 2 days under the mediation of the envoys of the five countries to the DPRK, and Keisuke Otori made concessions under Lin Daxin's toughness. In the end, the two sides signed an agreement stipulating that the Korean land 10 kilometers north of Incheon Fortress - Seoul - Soyang Lake - Sokcho Fortress belonged to the Jeongbuk Army!

Within 10 kilometers, including Seoul, Incheon, and Sokcho, the land of Korea to the south belongs to Japan!

History calls this agreement the "Korean Deal"! (To be continued)

ps: I'm sorry brothers, the upload was late, I had something to deal with overnight, and I just rushed home!

I hope that the brothers will order for the first time if I haven't slept all night!
