Chapter 117 Treaty of Tokyo

Boss Yang's tandem soon ended, and after receiving the unanimous consent of Britain and Germany, the cargo returned to Tokyo to summon Mutsu Munemitsu with pride, and then read the draft of the new Tokyo Treaty to him

"First, Japan unconditionally withdraws its troops from Korea and undertakes not to commit any form of aggression against Korea, and sends members of the royal family of the princely rank to Korea to apologize to the royal family and people, and to pay public respects to the tomb of Concubine Min, and to compensate the Korean people for the economic and moral losses of one million pounds sterling, or the equivalent of other currencies, excluding the yen.

Second, the Japanese government publicly apologized to the family of Ms. Sun Ze who was killed, and compensated her for her mental damage of 100,000 pounds.

Third, the Japanese Imperial Family must send members of the Prince's First Class Imperial Family to the Vatican to publicly apologize to His Holiness the Pope for the Shimabara Religious Mie Massacre and the murder of Saint Inaba Shiro, and to erect a memorial to Shiro Shimaba and the martyrs at Shimabara Castle.

Fourthly, the compensation of 20 million pounds sterling for the military expenses of the 12-nation coalition forces other than Russia that participated in the punitive action against Japan must be paid before the withdrawal of the troops.

Fifth, the main part of Kyushu Island was leased to Germany south of the 32.7th parallel, including all the annexed peninsulas, for a period of ninety-nine years, of which Kagoshima was leased for one hundred and ninety-nine years, with a rent of 1,000 marks per year.

Sixth, cede all the islands south of the 30.9th parallel to the Ryukyus as compensation for the barbaric imprisonment of King Shotai and the crown prince for more than ten years.

Seventh, the restoration of consular jurisdiction.

If any of these seven articles are not allowed, then the allied forces will cooperate with the Russian army to continue the war until the destruction of Japan. Yang Feng stood up arrogantly and looked down at Lu Ao Zongguang and said.

Mutsu Munemitsu glanced at this shameless demon with grief and indignation, but he also knew that the Japanese government was really not qualified to negotiate now, the second batch of Russian troops had landed, and Hirosaki was in danger. And Akita's Russian army is marching towards Daisen, and their goal is obviously Morioka, and if you take Morioka, you can go directly south to Sendai. Now Japan has reached a critical point of life and death, the Korean army is blocked by the Qing army in the north and south of Korea, the only way to retreat is Wonsan Port, but the Russian fleet will easily sink them in the sea. The remaining warships of the Combined Fleet were still blocked in the port of Pusan by the British Far East Fleet in the name of mediating the Eight-Nation Alliance's war against Japan, and of course even if they came out, they would not be able to resist the Russian fleet.

Now the only way to solve the crisis is to send this group of robbers away as soon as possible, and then we can go all out to expel the other bandits, in fact, Ito Hirobumi had already told him helplessly before he came, no matter what Yang Feng asked. Now there is only one option: yes.

But if you agree, Japan is also finished, after twenty years of hard work, everything has been beaten back to its original state, he is really unwilling, as soon as he thinks of this, Mutsu Munemitsu can't help but want to bite the demon in front of him, everything is made by this guy, but now the whole of Japan has to continue to endure his humiliation.

As if sensing the kind of resentment emanating from his body, Boss Yang hurriedly pulled a bodyguard to his side. Only then did he press his fluttering little heart, and continued proudly: "Your Excellency, you should know very well that you have no other choice. To accept these conditions is to cut off a limb, but without accepting these conditions, you will not even be able to save your life. I think you should also be well aware of the attitude of the Russians towards the conquered lands during their expansion, and in the Far East they did so by driving the Chinese directly into the river and drowning them en masse. If they occupy Japan, to be honest, if half of your 40 million population can be left, then I, Yang Feng, will definitely admit that I am blind.

Besides, Kyushu is just a lease, and I will return it to you when the time comes. And the Germans are not at all the same type as the Russians in terms of character, and your people will not be treated too harshly, and even I think it is a good thing for you, so that you have an additional bridge with Europe.

And ceding Tanegashima and other islands, this is even less worth mentioning, this world is to put it bluntly, it is to play strength, if you defeat Russia, and then develop a few years of strength to surpass China, then even if you snatch Ryukyu and even Taiwan again, you can only say that you have the ability, on the contrary, these islands are in your hands today if you don't cede to Ryukyu tomorrow, maybe you have to cede to others, you see this world is actually very simple, don't take some treaties or anything so seriously.

As for the 20,000,000,000 pounds in compensation, I know that your country will certainly not be able to pay it out at once, but you can take out a loan, and I can tell you unambiguously that these terms were negotiated between us and the British. Because the half is reserved for the British, and this is the condition that the British give you a loan.

By signing this treaty, you will not only be able to get out to defend your motherland, but you will also regain external help, such as your tens of thousands of elites in Korea, we can guarantee that you will be safely withdrawn, or you will never be counted on on your own, of course, provided that you have to cease war with China, I do not represent the Chinese government, including my generals will not represent the Chinese government, but this should not be difficult for you to do.

And aren't you short of weapons? We can sell to you, of course you need to pay, if you don't have money, Britain, Germany and the United States can provide you with certain loans, of course, you need to exchange suitable things, these are not what we need to care about now. ”

Mutsu also understood at this time, together with you bandits, I want to take advantage of it, and then hide to the side to watch the excitement, let us go and fight the Russians with a river of blood, but even if he understands this, he has no other choice, Nikolai's goal now is obviously to destroy Japan, and if you want to keep your country, you must cooperate with these bandits.

After he took the draft treaty back, the Japanese cabinet finally passed it with difficulty after some discussion, and then Mutsu Munemitsu signed the Tokyo Treaty on behalf of the Japanese government, and the representatives of the coalition forces in addition to Russia also signed one after another, although this behavior was protested by the Russians, but it was obviously useless, and besides, they don't care about this thing now, the Russians never rely on the treaty to get things, they rely on their own fists.

Immediately after that, the Japanese government and the British government signed a loan agreement in exchange for a loan of 30 million pounds sterling from the British government at the cost of leasing the remaining part of the island to Britain, and the British government would provide a loan of 30 million pounds sterling against Japan's customs duties, with an annual interest rate of 4 percent, of which 20 million was an indemnity for the allied forces, and the other 10 million was for the purchase of weapons to resist Russian aggression.

In fact, the Japanese want to borrow 50 million, but unfortunately the British do not dare to take this business, in case Japan is defeated and Russia is destroyed, it is obvious that the Russians will not repay this loan for them, and the remaining half of Kyushu Island is worth 30 million, as for the future, it depends on Japan's performance, if they play well, it will not be too late to invest more. However, for this point, whether it is the British, the Japanese or even Yang Feng are confident enough, the bravery of the Japanese has been seen by all countries in this war, to be honest, this kind of thing can be done by tying up zha medicine charge, there are really not many people in this world who can reach this level, give them some similar weapons, they should still be able to keep their homeland, it is nothing more than more deaths, you must know that they have a population of 40 million.

The rest is a truce between China and Japan, this is none of Yang Feng's business, they can solve it themselves, with the British and Germans pressing together, it is estimated that Cixi will not want to fight anymore.

The most important thing for Yang Feng now is to share the spoils.

Although 20 million pounds is a lot, but a few points are not much, fortunately, the exclusion of the Russians has gone to a big head, the promised Li Hongzhang's two achievements are four million, according to the current silver price of almost more than 20 million taels of silver, this is a really huge amount of money, as for how he will take it with Yuan Shikai, Xu Bangdao, Jiang Zikang, this is not Yang Feng needs to care.

The Germans got 6 million pounds, and Yang Feng also got 6 million pounds, but he needed to share it with Song Qing, and the remaining 4 million pounds were 100,000 for the North Korean and Ryukyu families, 400,000 for Sweden and Turkey, and the remaining 3 million for the United States because it was the earliest to send troops and officially participated in the battle, so it got 1 million, and the other people who came to fight soy sauce and didn't even fire a cannon were divided into the 2 million, which was already very good for them. You must know that even if you add up their warships, they are not necessarily worth two million pounds, especially since the two poor ghosts like the Netherlands and Spain are still wooden cruisers.

After dividing the indemnity, there is also the income from the robbery, at this time, Xue Fucheng and the German logistics personnel who stayed behind have calculated the income from their looting all over Japan, which is completely attributed to Yang Feng's Osaka income, which is worth almost three million pounds, and the income in Sendai is about one million pounds, but it needs to be given to Song Qing a part, and the other is the income of the coalition forces in Tokyo, which is enough to have six million pounds, not that Osaka is not as rich as Tokyo, mainly because the looting in Tokyo is more careful, In particular, there are the Imperial Palace of Japan and the Ministry of Finance, as well as the major banks.

As for the sum of other cities, it is almost three million pounds, but the nine million pounds need to be deducted from the military expenses, and five million are deducted at once, and the five million are all earned by Zhang Zhidong and those local businessmen in Taiwan, and the remaining four million will be distributed according to the distribution ratio of the indemnity, so everyone is happy, and for a time the name of Boss Yang is famous in the world.
