"Is there any recent movement on the part of the Japanese government?" Ren Chao couldn't help but ask.

"There has been no movement on the part of the Japanese government recently, and it seems that it has made up its mind to resist to the end!" Yang Jichang hurriedly replied.

"Stubborn to the end? In order to force the Japanese government to submit as much as possible and continue to increase the number of troops in Japan, Wang Jing was ordered to formulate a battle plan to attack Honshu Island immediately after dealing with the Japanese invaders on Kyushu Island. Ren Chao said with a sneer.

"Commandment!" Yang Jichang and others said respectfully.

The train let out a long whistle and continued to move quickly in the direction of Beijing.

At the same time, the Japanese Cabinet was holding an emergency imperial meeting, and the new cabinet first Saionji Gongwang reported to Emperor Meiji with a respectful face, "Your Majesty, at present, Kumamoto and Kagoshima have been lost one after another, and the war on Kyushu Island has been irreversible. On the occasion of the peril of the empire, it is necessary to take decisive measures to stop the aggression of China, Chen Jian yì immediately launched a demon slaying plan, with the current strength of China, our Japanese Empire is not an opponent at all, only by adopting a demon slaying plan, so that the Chinese people are in chaos, our Japanese Empire can have a chance to turn defeat into victory. ”

Foreign Minister Aoki Shuzo immediately stood up and said loudly, "The minister resolutely opposes the so-called demon slaying plan, because this plan is difficult to succeed at all, and once it fails, it will completely anger Ren Chao, a madman, and no one dares to guarantee that this madman will make any crazy moves." Moreover, even if this plan succeeds, we cannot guarantee that the Chinese Empire will be in chaos because of this, and it may provoke the Chinese Imperial army to launch an even more fierce attack on our Great Japanese Empire. Therefore, the minister felt that the so-called demon slaying plan was too risky, and the disadvantages far outweighed the benefits. ”

"According to your meaning, it is possible that our Great Japanese Empire can only accept the conditions put forward by the Chinese Empire and bow down to China, and our Great Japanese Empire will categorically not accept such humiliating conditions. The demon slaying plan is risky, but once it succeeds. We, the Empire of Japan, can turn defeat into victory. Besides, we don't have any other options now, and it's worth the risk. War Minister Masaki Terauchi stood up and said loudly.

"The main topic of this imperial meeting is whether to approve the demon slaying plan, and there is no point in arguing any further, so the ministers respectfully ask His Majesty the Emperor to judge it." Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said respectfully. The cabinet ministers also stood up one after another, bowed respectfully to Emperor Meiji, and asked Emperor Meiji to make a holy decision.

"Our great Japanese empire will never succumb to any national power, and at this time when the empire is in danger, I hope that the ministers will lead all the people to work together to defend against foreign enemies. We have only one goal, to defeat Huaxia at any cost! Emperor Meiji glanced at the cabinet ministers and said with a stern expression.

"Hay!" The cabinet ministers bowed down to receive the order, and although Emperor Meiji's words were vague, the meaning of his words could also be seen that Emperor Meiji had approved the so-called demon slaying plan.

In the city of Beijing, in the office of the Military Intelligence Department of the Chinese Empire, Lu Hongze, director of the Military Intelligence Division, sat on a chair with a stern face, and in front of him a lieutenant colonel officer wearing a military uniform was sitting loudly and reporting, "According to the report of the Beijing Branch, Chen Yongkui, the director of the Postal and Telecommunications Department, has been in the past two days. He has been colluding with Japanese spies lurking in Beijing. ”

"Japanese spies? There were even Japanese spies in the city of Beijing. Lu Hongze asked with a look of surprise.

"These Japanese spies just infiltrated the city of Beijing not long ago, and we have just learned their whereabouts." The lieutenant colonel officer hurriedly replied.

"Then why not arrest them?" Lu Hongze asked with a dissatisfied face.

"As for the Beijing branch, maybe it wants to put a long line to catch big fish, right?" The lieutenant colonel said hesitantly.

"Casting a long line to catch a big fish? That will have to be seen when it happens. Now His Majesty is not in the capital when he leaves the palace, but our work cannot be relaxed in the slightest. Who is this Chen Yongkui? Lu Hongze couldn't help frowning.

"This Chen Yongkui is an old minister of the former dynasty. I heard that this person was loyal to the Qing Dynasty and had a lot of resistance to the new dynasty, and he once openly spoke wild words in private, slandering the new dynasty and the emperor's majesty. The lieutenant colonel officer hurriedly reported what he knew.

"Such people. How did he stay until now and still be allowed to hold an important position in the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications? Lu Hongze's face couldn't help but flash with anger.

"Director, His Majesty the Emperor has decreed. We are strictly forbidden to engage in word hell. Although this Chen Yongkui was disrespectful, he did not do anything to endanger the Chinese Empire, so the Beijing branch did not move him. The lieutenant colonel officer replied honestly.

"Didn't there before, didn't it now? Just because he secretly colluded with the Japanese, ten heads were not enough to cut off. Immediately give the order to go down and arrest Chen Yongkui and those Japanese spies. This afternoon, His Majesty the Emperor will return to Beijing, first go to Zhonglie Mountain to bury the martyrs, and then return to the palace, and there must be no chaos at such a critical moment. Lu Hongze said coldly.

"Yes! This is to convey orders. The lieutenant colonel officer responded respectfully, gave a military salute, and then turned around and left Lu Hongze's office.

At noon on the same day, Chen Yongkui, who was eating in the canteen of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, was arrested by several soldiers wearing military uniforms and immediately sent to the Beijing branch of the Military Intelligence Department.

In the afternoon, Ren Chao returned to Beijing and went directly to Zhonglie Mountain, and Lu Hongze, as the director of the Military Intelligence Department and the deputy director of the Imperial Security Commission, naturally went to the station to pick up the car, and then went to Zhonglie Mountain with Ren Chao.

This was the first batch of martyrs' coffins to be brought back, with more than 300 people in all, all of whom died during the Battle of Nagasaki, and the tedious burial ceremony lasted for more than an hour. In the end, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, Ren Chao, finished the incense at the Martyrs' Shrine, and then got on the car and left the Martyrs' Mountain. This matter is over for the time being, and Ren Chao can go back to the palace directly.

Lu Hongze was just about to get into the car, when an officer ran over and whispered in Lu Hongze's ear, "Report to the director, that Chen Yongkui has been arrested, and there are four Japanese spies who have been arrested at the same time, but according to our understanding, there are far more Japanese spies who have infiltrated Beijing. And according to Chen Yongkui's confession, these Japanese seem to be planning to assassinate the emperor, and Chen Yongkui has leaked all the routes of His Majesty's trip to the Japanese. ”

"Bastard!" Lu Hongze couldn't help but scold, he was already in a cold sweat, assassinating His Majesty the Emperor, these gangs were too bold and reckless. But fortunately, these guys didn't choose to start on the railway, maybe they got the information too late and were not prepared! Since this is the case, then their only chance is to start on the way back to the palace, looking at Ren Chao's car that had just started, Lu Hongze couldn't help but secretly call it a fluke.
