"Are you embarrassed to ask? I ask you what we said ten days ago. Ren Chao slapped the table and asked loudly.

Komura Shoutaro couldn't help but shudder, for fear that this rough and savage guy would chop himself up in a fit of rage. Others may not be able to do such a thing, but the one in front of you is not necessarily, think about the encounter between Mutsu Munemitsu and Kuroki is a lesson from the past! Komura Shoutaro's head was already covered with beads of sweat, but he couldn't figure out what he had offended the Hou Ye in front of him.

As an excellent diplomat, Komura Shoutaro is not young, but his memory is still quite good. Under Ren Chao's angry gaze, Komura Shoutaro immediately recalled the negotiation with Ren Chao ten days ago. I remember vividly what I said at that time, Komura Shoutaro still remembers it clearly, but after thinking about it several times, I really can't understand where he offended Ren Chao when he was cautious.

"Contemptible and reckless, I really can't remember where I offended Hou Ye, and I hope Hou Ye will make it clear." Komura Shoutaro took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and asked cautiously with a smile.

"Humph! Since you're so old and confused that you can't remember, I'll give you a heads-up. Ren Chao snorted angrily and said.

Komura Shoutaro is angry in his heart! I'm only forty years old this year, what is an old fool! Although he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to show a trace of disrespect on the surface.

Ren Chaoke ignored whether Komura Shoutaro was dissatisfied or not, and continued, "Let me ask you, did we say ten days ago that we would withdraw our troops after ten days?" Now that the ten-day period has passed, I would like to ask the village minister, has your army retreated? ”

No way! That's it? You're embarrassed to accuse me, and I was about to ask why didn't you withdraw your troops? Komura Shoutaro is angry in his heart! But in front of Ren Chao, he couldn't have a seizure, so he could only endure the anger in his heart. He said coldly, "Yes, we did agree ten days ago to withdraw our troops after ten days." The locust troops stationed in Korea are also ready to withdraw at any time, but I have just received news that your army stationed in the Osumi Islands has no sign of retreating. ”

"Yo he! It's really the wicked who sue first! Ren Chao said with a furious smile. Let me ask you, did we agree at the beginning that we would follow the peace treaty and agree that both sides would withdraw their troops from Korea and the Osumi Islands at the same time after 10 days? Yes and no? ”

"Yes! That's exactly what it was said at the time. Komura Shoutaro nodded and said, thinking to himself, don't you remember everything? It's obvious that you don't believe in your words, why do you still rely on us.

"Then let me ask you, has your army withdrawn from North Korea?" Ren Chao then asked.

"That's because your army has no sincerity in withdrawing its troops and is unwilling to withdraw its troops in the Osumi Islands." Komura Shoutaro argued loudly.

"Fart, which eye of yours sees that we don't have the sincerity to withdraw our troops. Our fleet is always near the Osumi Islands, and the island's garrison can board ships and leave the Osumi Islands at any time, but what about you? Your troops are still in Pyongyang, and I would like to ask you. When will you be able to leave North Korea? Ren Chaoyue said that the more angry he was, the more spit Xingzi sprayed Komura Shoutaro all over his face.

"Our army is ready, as long as your army withdraws from the Osumi Islands, the locust army can retreat from Pyongyang at any time." Komura Shoutaro said loudly.

"Hahaha! It's a joke! I think you're really confused! Ren Chao laughed. But the anger on his face became heavier and heavier, Ren Chao turned around and picked up a few pieces of paper from the table, threw them on Komura Shoutaro's face and said loudly. "See for yourself! How is it written in the peace treaty that both sides withdraw their troops in Korea and the Osumi Islands at the same time? Our army can leave the Osumi Islands at any time, but what about your army? Your army has been staying in Pyongyang, when will you be able to leave North Korea? Do you still have the face to question whether the officer has the sincerity to withdraw his troops? So I would like to ask you, where is your sincerity? ”

It was only then that Komura Shoutaro realized the crux of the problem, no need to look at any treaty, Komura Shoutaro remembered clearly that it was indeed written in the treaty, and at that time, the two sides of the negotiation focused on the issue of reparations and the ownership of the Ryukyu Islands, and did not take into account these details at all, but he did not expect to be caught by Ren Chao today.

Komura Shoutaro secretly complained in his heart, but his brain was running rapidly, thinking about how to solve the problem in front of him, "Hou Ye is angry, the locust army is not without the sincerity to withdraw troops, these days, the locust army has always been preparing for the withdrawal of troops, and now it is ready, it can withdraw from Pyongyang at any time, and then withdraw from North Korea as quickly as possible." I wonder if your army should also show a hint of sincerity and withdraw its troops from the Osumi Islands? ”

"Sincerity? Isn't Lao Tzu's sincerity enough? Ren Chao shouted loudly, "Our fleet has rushed to the Osumi Islands ten days ago, and our soldiers hurriedly boarded the ship last night. Isn't that sincerity enough? What did we get in return? In exchange for your treachery, you have rebelled. ”

"Hou Ye is angry!" The envoy of the small village comforted him on the side, "Master Hou, you see that this will not work, we will immediately withdraw from Pyongyang and leave Korea as soon as possible, and at the same time, your army will withdraw from the Osumi Islands, and the two sides have signed a peace treaty, so it is really not worth arguing over this trivial matter." ”

"Humph! The content of the treaty was approved by the emperor, and I have no right to change it, so I can only follow the content of the treaty. I will now give you three more days to immediately withdraw from Pyongyang and leave Korea at the port of Wonsan, and at the same time our troops will withdraw their troops from the Osumi Islands as agreed. Remember that you only have three days, and this is my last chance for you, and if you don't withdraw your troops, you will do so at your own risk, and my patience is limited. Ren Chao stared coldly at Komura Shoutaro and left directly after saying this.

"Master Hou~!" Komura Shoutaro wanted to say something, but Ren Chao had already left, and Komura Shoutaro wanted to catch up, but was stopped by two tiger army guards. Komura Shoutaro had no choice but to leave the governor's yamen in a huff.

After returning to his residence, Komura Shoutaro immediately ordered someone to report the matter to the Japanese government and asked the Japanese government to decide. When the Japanese government received the news, it immediately convened an emergency cabinet meeting. Members of the Japanese cabinet generally believe that at this sensitive and critical moment, it is really inappropriate to provoke disputes and create unnecessary trouble, lest Ren Chao seize any lever again. As a result, the Japanese cabinet quickly passed a resolution ordering the Japanese troops stationed in Korea to withdraw from Pyongyang as soon as possible, and then board ships from the port of Wonsan to leave Korea. At the same time, in order to speed up the withdrawal of troops, Japan urgently requisitioned a number of ships in the country and rushed to Wonsan. (To be continued......)
