Chapter 242: The Great Federation Project Begins

The surrender of Oshima Yoshimasa caused a huge sensation in Fuso, and more than 200,000 troops surrendered, and the people became suspicious of the military department, which was the incompetence of the military department.

"Damn bastards, whoever made them surrender, all deserve to die, it's a shame for the Empire! The general order declared Oshima Yoshimasa and others traitors throughout the country and abolished their status as citizens of the Fuso Empire! ”

Yama Prefecture Youpeng was very angry, Oshima Yoshimasa and others did not follow their predetermined plan to fight to the death with the Shina people, and surrendered to the Shina people in a blink of an eye, and even received information that Oshima Yoshimasa was helping the Shina people manage Kyushu Island, which was not angry with him.

However, Oshima Yoshimasa is a friend of Choshu Prefecture and cannot threaten his family, but it only restricts the scope of action of Oshima Yoshimasa's relatives and does not dare to attack.

The surrender of the army on the island of Kyushu was a blow to the army on the island of Honshu, and more than 200,000 troops surrendered without much major battle, which can be imagined the strength of the Chinese army.

Oshima Yoshimasa's surrender was even more devastating to the southern Red Party, their army was only half withdrawn, and the rest of the army would be the opponent of the Huaxia army and Oshima Yoshimasa's army, and they accelerated the transfer like crazy.

The Chinese army only collected most of the guns and heavy weapons of the Fusang army, and left a lot of Fusang soldiers to help take over the central cities, they were not in a hurry to go south, and were steadily taking over the areas occupied by the original Fusang army, and the aircraft troops only occasionally went to the south to bomb them.

Oshima Yoshimasa and a group of military officers cooperated with the remaining government personnel of Kyushu Island to form a provisional government of Kyushu Island, and as soon as it was established, the entire island of Fuso Kyushu was separated from Fuso rule and became independent, and then joined the Chinese Empire.

The Huaxia government announced that it accepted the request of the provisional government of Kyushu Island, and Kyushu Island became a part of the territory of Huaxia, and Kyushu Island was renamed Tohchi Island because of the taboo of Kyushu in China, and the Tohnichi Province was set up, and the provincial capital was Kumamoto, which governed Tohin Island and its surrounding affiliated islands and the Ryukyu Islands, and the vice governor was Oshima Yoshimasa, and the governor was parachuted by the Huaxia government.

The Chinese people rejoiced and lit firecrackers to celebrate the empire's successful expansion of its territory to Fuso, which was something that no previous dynasty could do, as long as Korea was included in the empire's territory, then the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the East China Sea could be said to be the inland lakes of the empire, and countless people cheered the empire for including Korea in its territory.

In the imperial capital of China, in the Korean Embassy, Li Kun and others were gathering together to discuss the restoration of the country, and as soon as the Korean War ended, Li Kun rushed back here with people, ready to ask for the restoration of the country.

"Your Highness, isn't it too early to return to the country, don't you inform the Emperor Taishang?" The expression on An Changhao's face was very entangled, and he knew in his heart that it was time to make a choice, so this was testing Li Yan.

The reason why Li Xi rushed back to the imperial capital of Huaxia immediately after the end of the war was that he was afraid that things would change, his son Li Xi was successfully rescued by the Huaxia army, and if he didn't strike first, he would definitely snatch back the king's position.

At this time, almost all of North Korea was under the control of Li Yan, and those North Korean troops were also in his hands, but he didn't know if Huaxia would change his hexagram, and the Chinese people called for North Korea to be included in the Chinese territory.

"We must do our best to restore the country, you have also seen the shouts of the Chinese people to our country, before the Huaxia government declared our country their territory, it can be said that it was to fight Fusang, but now they have no intention of restoring our country as an independent country, so without further ado!"

It is impossible for Li Yan to say that he wants to become a king, so he can only use these reasons to perfunctory, and everyone doesn't seem to be wrong.

"Everyone understands the credit of His Royal Highness for the restoration of the country, the Emperor Taishang is old and no longer suitable to be a king, only His Royal Highness can lead us to the peak and lead the rejuvenation of our country! I mention that His Royal Highness will ascend the throne after the restoration of the country! "Zheng Jae-kuan has been bribed by Li Kun, who promised him to make him prime minister after he returns to the country, so he supports Li Kun.

The rest of the people were very shocked when they heard this, when did Zheng Zaikuan take refuge in Li Yan, wasn't he always neutral before?

"Seconded ......"

The people who supported Li Wei saw that Zheng Zaikuan was in his camp and hurriedly agreed, and more than half of them agreed at once, and An Changhao and others had no choice but to decide to agree temporarily, and now they all supported Li Kun, and Li Kun's heart was a lot more stable.

In the Central Garden, Qin Hai appeared in Qin Yu's study.

"According to the Shadow's report, after Li Yan secretly returned to the imperial capital, he contacted those people in Korea and gained unanimous support, and he also secretly visited many high-ranking officials of the empire, with the aim of becoming the king of Korea! Will making him king of Joseon affect the implementation of the federal plan? Qin Hai thought that an old man was obviously better managed than a young man, and it was a bit unwise to let Li Yan be the king.

Qin Yu shook his hand and said: "The federal plan is not something he can interfere with, I just want to make him the king, let him toss and toss, if he doesn't toss, how can I clean him up, how can I abolish the Li clan openly?" The prestige of the old man Li is still there, he Li Yan may not be stable after he comes to power, hehe, he is plotting to seize the throne of Lao Tzu and his brother, and there are many people who disobey him, and now the initiative is in our hands, who dares to rebel? ”

In Qin Yu's view, North Korea must be included in the Chinese territory, at most, let the Li family jump for a while, and then slowly disintegrate and erode the Li family, so that North Korea can truly become a part of the empire.

"Is Nanhua ready, the federal plan is also time to start, the pace should be accelerated, the offensive of the Allies is too fast, it is estimated that it will not be long before France falls, and the United States will definitely join the Entente, otherwise it is not in their interests."

Because of Qin Yu's reasons, the strength of the allies skyrocketed, not to mention the threat from the east, although the colonies were defeated again and again, but the allies subverted the original historical stalemate on the western front in the European war, as long as the Allied navy also won, there was not much time left for China.

"The preparation of the South China side is not sufficient, it is not cost-effective to let them join the federal plan too early, but the people of Annam and Siam are ready to act, and the federal plan can begin!"

"Move the army to the southwest and support Siam as soon as their plans fail. Let Chen Fu turn Korea into imperial territory, no matter what means he uses, North Korea is the beginning of the federal plan, and there is no room for error! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I promise to complete the mission!"

…………

After Chen Fu received the task given by Qin Yu, he did not immediately summon Li Kun to discuss, but asked people to continue to guide the people to support the march to include North Korea in the territory, and major newspapers also began to publish the issue of North Korea's restoration, pushing Li Kun's father and son to the forefront of the storm in one fell swoop, which made Li Kun restless.

"No, I can't wait any longer, I want to see His Majesty the Emperor!" Li Yan couldn't sit still and ran to find Qin Yu.

When he came to the gate of the Central Garden, he was told that Qin Yu had already accompanied several imperial concubines to play, and he didn't know when he would come back, this time Li Yu was really anxious, in his opinion, Qin Yu made it clear that he didn't want to see him!

Li Wei had to retreat and ask to see Prime Minister Chen Fu, and Chen Fu also took the opportunity to meet him.

"Prime Minister Chen, I am also polite, according to the agreement we signed before, your country must support me as king, and now that North Korea has been recovered, it is time to fulfill its promise!" Li Yan didn't want to say more, so he went straight to the point.

Chen Fu took a leisurely sip of tea and said, "What agreement?" Everyone has a public look! ”

"This ......"

Li Yan was very angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to break out here, and he didn't dare to make the agreement public, otherwise his efforts would be in vain, and the Korean people would hate him to the core, but Huaxia would not do anything, after all, Huaxia could say that he was begging to do this.

"I won't say much, now you have seen the voice of the people, if you want to become the king, you must join the empire, which means that Korea will be the territory of the empire in the future, just like the federation of the United States and become a member of China."

"Impossible, how can you do this without fear of being opposed by the North Korean people?" Li Yan stood up and shook his head and shouted, and the guards outside heard the sound and walked quickly close to the prime minister's office.

"Stand down, it's okay!"

The footsteps gradually faded away, and only then did Li Yan realize that he had gone too far.

"Hmph, now that the whole of North Korea is under our control, do you think we don't know anything? After the rule of Fuso, Korea was enslaved very strictly, and it was not impossible to annex Korea to the empire, and even if it didn't work, who would dare to resist? Think about it for yourself, Li Xi is also a good king, I don't know what he will do to you after he sees that agreement after restoring the king? By the way, we also caught a few people when we rescued Li Xi, but they arched a lot of interesting things, such as killing their fathers? Chen Fu said with an unhappy face.

After hearing this, Li Yan was like being struck by lightning, he didn't know how he got back to his residence, Chen Fu later gave him three days to think about it, and after three days he had to make a choice.

In fact, it didn't take three days, and after thinking about it all night, Li Yan met Chen Fu and agreed to Chen Fu's request.

On April 15, Yi Ji officially announced the restoration of Korea, became king himself, changed the name of the country to Goryeo, and honored his father Yi Xi as the king. At the same time, he announced that he would join the Chinese Empire and accept the canonization of the Emperor of the Chinese Empire.

The Huaxia government immediately declared that Goryeo was a Chinese territory, that Goryeo was an imperial federal state with a high degree of autonomy and legislative power, and that the Goryeo government was a subordinate organ of the central government of Huaxia.

On April 16, with the deliberation and vote of the National Assembly and the consent of the emperor, the Chinese government officially sent a telegram to the whole world declaring that the Chinese Empire would be renamed the Chinese Federal Empire, with China as the main body, and the Chinese government as the central government, which would govern the federal states. The King or Prime Minister of a Federal State must be canonized or approved by the Emperor with the consent of the Imperial Parliament, otherwise it is considered an offence.

In addition, the Imperial Government promulgated a law that the citizens of the Commonwealth and the subjects of the Commonwealth must be treated equally, without discrimination on the basis of race or colour, and that all the people of the whole country should be equal.

On April 17, the Republic of South China formally submitted its application to join the Federation to the Chinese Federal Empire, and the Imperial Assembly of the Chinese Federation of China launched a fierce debate on the application of the South China Federation.
