In Tokyo, Japan, countless fanatics who were unwilling to fail came to the gate of the Imperial Palace, begging His Majesty the Emperor to retract his fate, and clamoring for a decisive battle with the Chinese people to the end.

Some people even committed suicide by disemboweling their bodies at the entrance of the Imperial Palace, asking Emperor Meiji to retract his fate in such an extreme way, but it was in vain. Emperor Meiji finally made up his mind, and naturally it was impossible for him to change his mind just because a few people committed suicide.

Not only that, but some fanatical young Zhuang officers believed that the reason why the emperor issued the edict of the end of the war was completely caused by the demagoguery of those ministers who were greedy for life and afraid of death. These young Zhuang officers soon colluded and openly staged a coup d'état with the connivance of some high-ranking generals who were unwilling to surrender. The rebels stormed the city of Tokyo, seized government offices, and massacred many Japanese officials and senior army and navy officers.

Emperor Meiji could only order the Guards Division to suppress the rebellion, and after a fierce battle for half a day, the judgment was finally calmed down, and thousands of rebels were ambushed.

On December 1, 1902, more than 20,000 men of the First Marine Division of the North Sea Fleet of the Chinese Empire landed in Tokyo Bay and then successfully occupied Tokyo. Most of the tens of thousands of Japanese troops near Tokyo surrendered, and a few units were unwilling to surrender and were immediately wiped out by the Marines.

At the same time, the 1st Army, the 2nd Army, and the Tiger Army, totaling 150,000 troops, advanced to the eastern part of Japan by land in several ways. Those who refused to surrender were all exterminated on the spot. The Third Army and the First Division of the Korean Army also landed in Hokkaido and Sendai under the cover of the naval fleet. In just ten days, the Chinese Empire's coalition forces successfully occupied the entire territory of Japan.

Of course, the battle was not over, and some Japanese, who were unwilling to be defeated, still resisted in an organized manner in various places. Wang Jing, commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, immediately issued a counterinsurgency order to eliminate these bandits who were wandering all over the country. By the beginning of 1903, the main forces of resistance had been largely wiped out. Although there are still some small groups of rebels roaming around, they no longer pose any threat to our army.

December 16, 1902. The Chinese Empire formally signed an armistice with Japan. According to the terms of this agreement, Japan was forever subject to the Chinese Empire and became a vassal state of the Chinese Empire.

On January 1, 1903, Emperor Meiji of Japan issued an edict announcing the abolition of the title of emperor, and at the same time officially declared himself a vassal to the Chinese Empire. Emperor Ren Chao of the Chinese Empire immediately issued an edict to canonize Emperor Meiji as the king of Japan and gave him a gold seal, so that Japan became a vassal state of China.

According to the armistice agreement, Japan ceded Kyushu Island to the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Korea, of which the northwestern coastal area of Kyushu Island was ceded to the Kingdom of Korea, and the rest was incorporated into the territory of the Chinese Empire. After the establishment of the Chinese Empire. The king of the Ryukyus requested that it be incorporated into China. Ren Chao readily agreed, and the Ryukyus were incorporated into China, and the king of the Ryukyus was still named the king of the Ryukyus and enjoyed the treatment of a prince, but all the territory of the Ryukyus was incorporated into the Chinese territory. After most of the territory of Kyushu Island was incorporated into China, the Chinese Empire immediately established the Ryukyu Province, which included the former Ryukyu Kingdom and the southwestern part of Kyushu Island.

With regard to the reparations, after negotiation, Japan was required to pay 400 million Huaxia dollars for the military expenses of the Huaxia Empire and 50 million Huaxia dollars for the Korean Kingdom. Pay off in twenty years. The Chinese Empire allowed Japan to retain the industries necessary to maintain its economy and to pay reparations for goods. But its military industry, even steelmaking, shipbuilding and other industries are severely restricted. All the equipment of the military factories was dismantled and shipped to China, and Japan was only allowed to produce explosives for industrial needs. Not even bullets could be produced, let alone weapons such as rifles and artillery. Steel mills and shipyards were also largely controlled by Huaxia, and steel production in Japan was strictly controlled. Anyway, there is no iron ore in Japan, what kind of steel is smelted! If you really need it, can you import it to Huaxia? The shipbuilding industry was also subject to strict restrictions, and the production of ships over 500 tons was strictly prohibited. Can I import it to Huaxia if I need to? All kinds of equipment in shipyards were dismantled and packed and shipped to China, so that Japan had no capacity to produce large ships, let alone warships, except for a few small fishing boats. In other words, post-war Japan basically had no chance of heavy industry, and could only develop some light industries. In fact, this is also in line with Japan's national conditions, with more people and less land, and lack of resources, which is just suitable for the development of some labor-intensive light industries.

In terms of the army, the Japanese disarmed army was honestly sent back to their homes to farm and fish, in order to regard the generosity of our Celestial Empire. The dishonest ones were sent to the mines in various places to mine, anyway, there are so many resources in Japan, and when they finish digging, if they are not tired or die of old age, then let them go back. My Heavenly Kingdom has always been so generous.

After the war, the Japanese Navy was abolished, and since it is a subject country of China, your maritime frontier is our maritime frontier. As the boss of the Chinese Empire, you have to do something for this little brother of Japan! So Japan's seas will be guarded by the Imperial Navy! As for the army, it was allowed to keep only one division of the regular army, that is, the Guards Division. Moreover, the establishment of the station and so on are designated by Huaxia, especially in terms of weapons and ammunition, since Japan has no military industry, it doesn't matter, as the suzerain, you have to do something for the subject country! Isn't it just the armament of a division? All provided by Huaxia for free, absolutely free! But it's not that you have what you want, but that you have to use what I give you? Figure out other channels to buy, I'm sorry that the Emperor of the Chinese Empire doesn't allow you to do this, not to mention do you have money? If you have the money, pay off the compensation first! Even if it is paid off, it will not work!

In view of the current unstable situation in Japan, it is difficult for the Japanese government to maintain order without the army, relying only on the police with wooden sticks. To explain in particular, His Majesty the Emperor Shengwu of the Chinese Empire said, don't you Japan call yourself the Yamato nation? It should be a peace-loving nation, and in that case, you don't need those weapons or anything! Therefore, not to mention guns and ammunition, even if it is a samurai sword and other murder weapons, they have become prohibited items, and if anyone dares to hide them privately, once they are discovered, they will be punished as the crime of resisting the Celestial Empire, and they will generally be directly executed. Even the Japanese police are only allowed to use wooden or bamboo batons to maintain order.

So the kind-hearted big brother of China stood up bravely again and came out again, in order to maintain the normal order of Japan. The emperor of the Chinese Empire decreed that the 250,000 troops of the Eastern Expeditionary Army and the 50,000 Korean troops, a total of 300,000 troops, were temporarily stationed in Japan. Emperor Ren Chao of the Chinese Empire promised that after the internal order of Japan was stabilized, and a government inclined to peace and responsibility was established in accordance with the free will of the Japanese people, the Heavenly Soldiers of the Chinese Empire would withdraw their troops one after another. This is also to force the Japanese government to do its best to stabilize the domestic situation and pacify the anti-China armed forces in various places. (To be continued......)
