Now that the peace treaty has been signed, although Ren Chao is a little disappointed, he may be difficult to destroy Japan with his own strength when he thinks of the current situation. The top priority at the moment is to develop strength, and it is more important to make the country rich and the people strong; as long as China can successfully rise, Japan simply does not have the capital to compete with China. Now the biggest obstacle to the rise of China is the corrupt Qing government, so Ren Chao has to temporarily turn his attention to the country, cover his head to develop, secretly accumulate strength, and then completely overthrow the Manchu government in one fell swoop, which is Ren Chao's current goal. Thinking of this, the dissatisfaction and anger against the peace treaty were somewhat dissipated.

Despite this, Ren Chao has no intention of letting go of the little devil, at least the few small islands occupied, Ren Chao doesn't plan to return it, is there any reason to spit out the meat that he eats in his mouth? Although these small islands are small, they will be pierced in the flesh of the Japanese like a thorn, making the Japanese uncomfortable and unable to pull them out. Anyway, the probability of a second war between the two countries in the future is almost 100%, because Ren Chao cannot tolerate the existence of such an enemy like a poisonous snake and a hungry wolf, and such an enemy must completely exterminate it for long-term peace and stability. And with these islands in hand, even if Ren Chao doesn't look for the bad luck of the Japanese, the Japanese will come to find Ren Chao's bad luck, and when the time comes, will they still be worried that they won't be able to find an excuse to start a war?

After the peace treaty came into effect, the Japanese government could not wait to send Komura Shotaro to serve as minister to the Qing Dynasty again, and rushed to the Qing Dynasty, and the first major event of his return to China was to urge the Qing troops to withdraw from the Osumi Islands.

After Komura Shoutaro arrived in Tianjin, the first thing he did was to ask to see Li Hongzhang and ask Li Hongzhang to agree to withdraw his troops. This time, Li Hongzhang didn't give the village a closed-door soup, but after a bit of idle talk, he pulled Komura Shoutaro in a daze. In the end, he vaguely hinted to Komura Shoutaro that you should go to Shandong to talk to Ren Chao about the withdrawal of troops, and the troops in the Osumi Islands are all his troops. Li Hongzhang knew that Ren Chao was very dissatisfied with the content of the peace treaty, and this guy acted recklessly. Completely reckless, at least Li Hongzhang thinks so, the most important thing is that this guy is disobedient, Li Hongzhang is afraid that he and the Japanese have negotiated a date for the withdrawal of troops, what if Ren Chao does not withdraw? Isn't that a slap yourself in the face? Why bother to make yourself uncomfortable, so Li Hongzhang made a wonderful pass and kicked the ball directly to Ren Chao.

After getting this answer, Komura Shoutaro has the heart to die, so is Ren Chao so easy to speak? Just think about the fate of Mutsu Munemitsu, this guy is a rough guy. Savage, impudent and daring bastards. Komura Shoutaro feels that all the derogatory words in his head seem to apply to this guy, is such a person, talk to him? Komura Shoutaro has already seen how miserable his trip to Shandong will be, but even if it is hard, he has to bite the bullet!

Komura Shoutaro hurried to Shandong to see Ren Chao, this time Komura Shoutaro's luck was not bad, Ren Chao happened to be free this day, so he met Komura Shoutaro.

"First of all, congratulations to the minister of the small village for returning to the post of minister in the Qing Dynasty." Ren Chao said with a very polite smile. But then with a hint of doubt, he frowned and asked, "But this official doesn't understand too well, the minister of the small village will not go to Beijing to take office." What are you doing in Shandong? Is it a publicly-funded tour? Or a vacation? The treatment of government officials in your country is really good! ”

"This~!" Three black lines immediately hung down on the head of the village minister, what is this? You deliberately pretend to be stupid and stunned, why are you talking about all this uselessness? Komura Shoutaro smiled awkwardly and said, "Let the Hou Ye see it." Contemptible people don't have any leisure to travel and vacation, this time I came to Shandong to discuss with Hou Ye. "Whether it's Mutsu Munemitsu in the past, or Shoutaro Komura today. They all like to call Ren Chao the Hou Ye. There are two main reasons for this, one is because the marquis in the Qing Dynasty is very valuable, a very noble title, and there are only a handful of Han people in the entire Qing Dynasty who can get such a title, which shows its dignity. In addition, the Japanese also have a deep meaning, that is, since you are all marquis, then you are naturally an aristocrat, since you are a nobleman, you should pay attention to etiquette, not a scoundrel! But Ren Chao's cousin could only disappoint the Japanese in the end, and this marquis had no aristocratic consciousness at all.

"Something important? What's the matter? Let's talk about it, as long as it is within the power of the official, can we all discuss it? Ren Chao said with a smile as he made a gesture to Komura Shoutaro to invite him to tea.

Komura Shoutaro couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that this Ren Chao is not so difficult to talk to, Komura Shoutaro couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart, picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, and hurriedly said, "The contemptible people came to Shandong to visit Hou Ye this time, mainly to discuss with Hou Ye about the withdrawal of troops from both sides. ”

"Withdraw troops? Isn't the peace treaty already signed? Then do it according to the agreement. Ren Chao said casually.

Komura Shoutaro heard the words and felt a burst of joy in his heart, it seems that although this Ren Chao is a little arrogant and rude, but he also has to listen to the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor has signed a peace treaty, so he can only obediently withdraw his troops. "The contemptible people just want to discuss with Lord Hou today about the specific date of this withdrawal."

"The peace treaty has said that both sides are withdrawing troops from Korea and the Osumi Islands, as long as your army withdraws from North Korea, our army will naturally withdraw from the Osumi Islands, but I don't know when your army will withdraw its troops?" Ren Chao still looked nonchalant.

"Well, as long as your army withdraws from the Osumi Islands, the locust army will naturally withdraw from North Korea at the same time." Komura said with a smile.

"This withdrawal of troops, naturally the sooner the better, the peace treaty is clear, both sides withdraw at the same time, then we will take the peace treaty as the standard, our army can retreat at any time, but your army is a little troublesome, or that as long as your army withdraws, our army will naturally withdraw from the Osumi Islands." Ren Chao said with a smile.

"What Hou Ye said is that the withdrawal of troops is naturally as soon as possible, so it is set to be ten days later, and both sides will withdraw at the same time, what does Hou Ye think?" Komura asked tentatively.

"Ten days, well! That's 10 days. Ren Chao agreed casually.

"So good, so good!" Komura Shoutaro said happily.

Then the two chatted again, and Komura Shoutaro got up and said goodbye and left.

Looking at the back of Komura Shoutaro leaving, the corners of Ren Chao's mouth couldn't help but show a sneer. Then he instructed the maid beside him, "Put away the teacup used by the little devil, and wait until the next time he comes." (To be continued......)
