Chapter 118: Jeju-kun

After dividing the dirty, the next step is to divide the territory, and at this time Yang Feng sighed that the biggest bargain was actually the British.

"We've worked hard to get almost three thousand dead and wounded, and we only got such a little thing by playing tricks, but they got more than us when they moved their mouths, this person is more angry than people!" This goods slandered in front of Waldze, and the Japanese indemnity had already been paid by HSBC at this time, so the coalition forces withdrew to Taiwan, but before leaving, they thoroughly searched Tokyo, and almost demolished the beautiful houses again.

But don't underestimate these things, especially those wood and stone carvings removed from the Japanese Imperial Palace, and even rockeries and so on, which are very sought after among the rich in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, in the end, this is also the first time that the Chinese have gone abroad to plunder, not to mention their own value, the symbolic meaning alone is rare. Get a piece of Japanese royal supplies to decorate the façade at home, for these guys who have no place to spend their idle money and live by holding dramas every day, it is undoubtedly a popular activity, and even many people go to Taiwan to take Xue Fucheng's door in order to get a good one.

Waldzer only smiled faintly at Yang Feng's words, but this time it did cause a deep rift in Anglo-German relations, not to mention the Kaiser, even Bismarck, who was retired at home, once expressed his dissatisfaction in conversations with British friends, knowing that he had always opposed the Kaiser's provocation of Britain.

On the whole, however, Germany had got what it wanted, and despite more than 2,000 casualties and a heavy damage to a cruiser, it had a real base in the Far East, and the title of Japanese conqueror was put on the fox's head as it wished.

The second group of German expeditionary forces finally arrived at this time, but how they took over their own territory, this still needs Yang Feng's help, the people of the Satsuma Domain are very wild, if there is a rebellion, it will inevitably be suppressed. In other words, in the short term, Taiwan will still be the rear base of the German army, and I am afraid that this will be difficult to change in a year or two.

Of course, Yang Feng patted his chest and promised that no matter whether it was materials or arms, as long as Germany needed them, he would open his mouth and everything would be wrapped up in him.

"In addition, I am about to take office as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and I will also serve as the Minister of Shipping, which means that in the future, the Mawei Shipyard, the largest warship manufacturing base in Asia, will also be managed by me. If the German Far Eastern Fleet needs to be repaired or something, it can also be passed. Yang Feng said.

The Pingyuan's performance on the battlefield was indeed eye-catching, and even the European newspapers spoke highly of it, although the outrageously slow ship did not sink a single Japanese warship of its own, but four Japanese warships were dragged to death by it, and under the equally perfect to outrageous armor protection, the small ship was not even too seriously injured, and it was almost the fastest repair by the Beiyang Naval Division.

While the two were talking, Zhang Quan suddenly hurried in and said with a nervous expression: "The Russian army is going to enter North Korea!"

"No way!" Yang Feng and Waldze stood up all at once. Said almost at the same time.

"Absolutely not!" The two glanced at each other, and then Yang Feng added.

The three ports of Keelung, Tamsui, and Dagou immediately sounded the alarm of emergency assembly. The Chinese and German sailors, who had just returned to Hong Kong, hurriedly withdrew from the prostitutes one by one, ignoring the resentful gazes, leaving their money and trousers in their hands, and exchanging their anger at the guy who had disturbed their good deeds, and the same situation was playing out in the British Far East Fleet, which had just returned to Shanghai. Even the Beiyang Naval Division, which was flaunting its might in the Dadonggou area, hurriedly turned around, and the whole of East Asia was like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed with a stick.

Yang Feng didn't care about the slow-moving old warships, and the Nautilus broke away from the fleet with eight destroyers at a high speed of twenty-eight knots. In the East China Sea, they encountered four Viper-class destroyers of the British Far East Fleet that had just been commissioned, and since the two sides had the same goal, they simply mixed together and rushed towards the Sea of Japan.

The Russians must not be allowed to enter Korea, these guys go, and it will be difficult to drive them out, this is the unanimous idea of almost all the forces in East Asia now, especially the British, for this they absolutely do not hesitate to threaten with force, and besides, the Russians are not reasonable to do so, without the consent of the Korean royal family, they enter Korea, even in the name of war against Japan, it is considered aggression, especially now that the Korean royal family is generally sympathized with by international public opinion, All nations have reason to do justice for them in the past.

On the way, Yang Feng sent a telegram to Seoul, and soon got a reply from the intelligence officer, but to his surprise, the Russians were really recruited by the Koreans themselves, but it was not Li Xi, nor his father's Dayuanjun, but the pro-Japanese puppet prime minister Kim Hongji.

"Ma, this is to play with the troubled waters to move east!" Boss Yang immediately understood their intentions, needless to say, he also knew that the Japanese did this work, because in the Lend-Lease agreement of Kitakyushu, the British promised to help Japan withdraw the First Army of Yama Prefecture Youpeng safely to the country, so before the Sino-Japanese armistice, Yama County abandoned the Yalu River defense line and withdrew to Pyongyang as quickly as possible, and then the Pyongyang defenders were withdrawn to Seoul, and the British merchant ships were responsible for transporting them back to Japan from the port of Incheon.

This also means that Japan's withdrawal from Korea is a foregone conclusion, so after the Qing army returns to Seoul, the first thing is probably to purge the Kaihua Party, these guys must find a new backer, it is obvious that the Russians are very suitable, and for the Japanese, leading Russia to Korea can also greatly reduce their pressure, and in addition, forcing the British to the position of open confrontation with Russia, then Japan will definitely become the object of their re-support, so there is this situation that the Japanese have begun to retreat, The Koreans invited the Russians to expel the Japanese.

"Dutama is a talent!" Yang Feng couldn't help but sigh that at this time Japan is really talented, even such a ruthless trick can come up with, this is the standard Lao Tzu since he can't get it, then simply destroy it, it is conceivable that in the future North Korea will become a battlefield for all countries to wrestle, this small broken country seems to be destined for this kind of fate, but this is none of his business, it is not a big deal to say that the sticks die more, in addition, he seems to be able to make another profit, the respected Empress Mingcheng seems to have promised to give himself Jeju Island before he died, He had coveted this place for a long time.

The fleet led by him soon arrived at the Korean Strait, where it met with two British cruisers on alert mission, and was just about to continue north, when a large pillar of smoke appeared in the northwest sky, and then the main force of the Beiyang Naval Division appeared, except for Pingyuan, which was too slow, the other seven distances all arrived, so that Yang Feng's fleet quickly expanded to the size of twenty ships, but to Yang Feng's surprise, Ding Ruchang brought him an important chess piece, Li Xi's father Yuanjun.

This old thing was just helped to power by the Japanese army, and used his authority to quickly oust Concubine Min from power, and after the Seoul Incident, he was exiled because he hooked up with the Qing army, so that only the pro-Japanese faction was left in the Korean court, so he also hated Japan so much that he gritted his teeth. Li Er, who had just made a windfall, had long forgotten his grudge against Yang Feng for selling him at this time, and knew that this product was now the most lacking chess piece to deal with the Russians, and with the cooperation of the British, he simply got this old thing out, which could be regarded as a favor for Yang Feng.

"Your Excellency Dayuanjun, speaking of which, your country has reached this point, you and Concubine Min are not without responsibility, if it weren't for the intrigue between you and your daughter-in-law for power and profit, how could you give an excuse for foreign enemies to invade? Now that the dead are gone, there is no need to say more, after the Japanese army retreats, the Kaihua Party can not stay, these guys who have forgotten their ancestors must be responsible for the death of Concubine Min, and His Majesty the King of your country is not good at governing the country, and no one will fight for the power of this country with you, and in the future, it is more important to do a good job in the country with peace of mind, so that the people can eat more than anything else, and the outside affairs are covered by this official and Li Zhongtang and others, and no one will covet your country again.

But this closed country is not suitable for the times, opening up is the right reason, you North Korea should still have some good things, go back and I will partner with you adults to set up a company, to your country to help you engage in economic construction, it can be regarded as worthy of the tragic death of Concubine Min, alas, when I think of this, I can't help but feel compassion, I didn't expect Concubine Min to look up to me so much, if I had made arrangements earlier, there would not have been such a tragedy, I heard that she and His Majesty are ready to seal Jeju Island to me as a territory. Yang Feng said with a sad face.

Dayuanjun is so cunning and cunning, I can't hear that he is asking for benefits, but now whether it is himself or North Korea, he does need a strong foreign aid, this can break through the Japanese capital, hit the city of Beijing, and the guy who is so good as the Western powers to wear a pair of pants is undoubtedly very suitable, besides, Jeju Island is not an important place, since he likes it, he will give it to him, and such a large fleet has come to support North Korea, so it can't be without some benefits.

"If the Governor does not disagree, after the matter is settled, the lower officials will ask His Majesty the King to crown him as the King of Jeju and Jeju Island as the town of Jeju in the country." He said with a smile.

"This, how embarrassing is this!" Yang Feng said with a smile, but he didn't see the slightest embarrassment on his face.

Ding Ruchang, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, probably feeling the shamelessness of this guy. (To be continued......)
