"This is the Ryukyu Imperial Palace?" Yu Kun looked at the palace-like building in front of him and asked with a smile.

"Yes, this is the palace of the former Ryukyu king, but now this is my headquarters, the conditions are a little simpler, but my old king will use it." Wang Jing said with a smile.

"You guy got cheap and sold well." Yu Kun scolded with a smile.

"Hehe, okay, don't be stunned here, hurry up and please go inside!" Wang Jing smiled, and then hurriedly let Yu Kun and several other admirals into the house.

After everyone sat down, two soldiers served them a cup of hot tea. Yu Kun took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "We'll leave for Sasebo tomorrow to contain the Japanese fleet." It should be enough for me to leave you a warship to escort, and you will do your best to occupy all the islands south of the Japanese island of Kyushu. ”

"Don't worry, it's not just a few small islands." Wang Jing smiled confidently, "It's just that what should the Japanese on these islands do?" ”

"Didn't the marshal already explain before leaving?" Yu Kun said casually.

"Hmmm! Then take care of it all! Anyway, these little devils don't have a good thing, so what's the harm if my old king is a butcher once? Wang Jing laughed indifferently and said.

Subsequently, the Marines, with the assistance of the Jiaolong fleet, swept across the Ryukyu Islands in less than ten days. Not only did he recover all the lost territories of the Ryukyu Kingdom, but he also went north to directly capture Yakushima and Tanegashima in southern Japan.

After occupying Shuri and Naha, Yu Kun and Wang Jing reported the situation to Ren Chao as soon as possible. So lightly occupied the Ryukyu Islands. Ren Chao was very happy, and immediately ordered 4,000 elite troops from Jiaoao, Weihai, Yantai and other places to quickly reinforce the Ryukyu Islands.

After Wang Jing captured Tanegashima Island, he ordered thousands of Japanese people on the island to be thrown into the sea and fed to the sharks. However, Wang Jing's actions also agitated the Japanese, and ordered the 6th Division, which had just been reorganized in Kumamoto, to move south quickly to recover Tanegashima and other islands.

Although Tanegashima was too close to the Japanese island of Kyushu without naval cover, the little devils successfully landed on Tanegashima by carrying soldiers on some small steamers requisitioned by Guò. A fierce battle ensued.

More than 2,000 little devils have successfully landed on Tanegashima. At this time, the Marines of the Tiger Army stationed on Tanegashima only had the strength of one battalion, and the strength was only one-fifth of the little devil. But the valiant Marines did not fear, let alone flinch, but took up arms and engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy.

The little devil managed to surround Tanegashima's marines in Nishinomote. Due to the huge disparity in the number of troops. The Marines had to hide in the fortifications they had built. Desperately resisting the onslaught of the Japanese army again and again.

Just when the Tiger Army and the Japanese army were fighting fiercely at Tanegashima, Japanese Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi was ordered to arrive in Tianjin. After arriving in Tianjin, Ito Hirobumi immediately rushed to the Naoli Governor's Office to ask for a meeting with Li Hongzhang.

"Lord Nakado. Hirobumi Ito had already gone ashore and was on his way to Tianjin. Zhang Peilun whispered to Li Hongzhang.

"It seems that the Japanese are really in a hurry this time." Li Hongzhang nodded and said with a smile.

"Isn't it? The Tiger Ben Army has all hit their hometown, can they not be in a hurry? Zhang Peilun was also very happy at this time.

"It seems that I really underestimated this Ren Chao, and even more underestimated the combat effectiveness of this Tiger Army, this Ren madman, can always bring me some unexpected surprises." Li Hongzhang said with a smile.

"Then Nakado-sama has changed his mind?" A hint of excitement flashed in Zhang Peilun's eyes.

"Change your mind? Change your mind? We still have to negotiate peace, but then we will be more confident at the negotiating table. This war has been out of the way for long enough, and it will not be good for anyone to continue fighting. Li Hongzhang sighed slightly and said.

Zhang Peilun was inevitably a little disappointed when he heard this, but he also knew the current situation of the Qing Dynasty, and it was indeed no good to continue fighting. What's the use of occupying those islands, just a few islands, it's just a pity to abandon them, and it's just tasteless chicken ribs.

After Ito Hirobumi arrived in Tianjin, this time Li Hongzhang did not continue to put on a show, and met with Ito Hirobumi very happily, and the two sides immediately launched formal negotiations.

At the same time, the Korean battlefield was also filled with gunsmoke, and the Tiger Army cooperated with the North Korean New Army to launch fierce attacks on Pyongyang City again and again. However, the Japanese army operated here for more than half a year, built a large number of fortifications, and Pyongyang was originally a fortified city that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the coalition forces could not break through Pyongyang City for a while, and the two sides were always in a stalemate.

In the battle for the Osumi Islands, the Japanese had an absolute advantage at the beginning, and a battalion of marines surrounded in Tanegashima was almost wiped out by the Japanese army. However, the Jiaolong fleet was unable to find a fighter in Sasebo, so they rushed to Tanegashima to support, and Wang Jing also hurriedly transferred troops from the Ryukyus to reinforcements, and after several days of bloody fighting, all the Japanese troops were finally expelled from Tanegashima. At this time, the elite of the 4,000 army sent by Ren Chao to reinforce arrived, and Wang Jing's strength increased greatly and his confidence was enough. And after the little devil learned that the Qing army had a large reinforcement, he could only give up the idea of attacking again, and the two sides were at a stalemate for a while.

The two countries are fighting fiercely over the Osumi Islands of North Korea and Japan, and Li Hongzhang and Hirobumi Ito in Tianjin are also fighting over the negotiating table. At this time, what is our Ren Chao and Ren Dashuai doing? I'm busy getting married.

Emperor Guangxu didn't know who he had listened to, but he was so full that he had nothing to do, and took care of Ren Chao's marriage. first made an order to give marriage, originally according to Ren Chao's idea, he would delay it first, and then wait until he was busy for a while! But Ren Chao, the old man who was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't wait, and directly selected a good day and an auspicious day under the holy decree, and even reported directly to Emperor Guangxu without even asking Ren Chao's opinion, asking Emperor Guangxu for permission. Emperor Guangxu naturally agreed without hesitation, so Ren Chao's lifelong events were decided by these undisciplined guys.

Ren Chao originally wrote a request for a postponement of the wedding, and in the recital, Ren Chao said impassionedly, that the widows have not been extinguished, and they will never start a family. But before he could send it out, the holy decree came down and asked him to go to Beijing to greet his relatives. Ren Chao couldn't help but wonder if Li Hongzhang's old guy was making a stumbling block, and he was afraid that he would interfere with his discussion and major affairs, so he deliberately found something for Ren Chao to do. But at this point, Ren Chao can only reluctantly accept this cruel reality, and he can't openly resist the decree because of this little thing! His career in Shandong has just been on the right track, and it is not a wise move to openly resist the decree at this time. (To be continued......)
