Although the final result was less than Lin Daxin hoped, Lin Daxin was also more happy to be able to snatch South Korea, the Ryukyu Islands, Ogasawara Islands and the Kuril Islands from the Japanese, which indicated that his territory was much larger.

Lin Daxin decided to incorporate South Korea into Yalu River Province, after all, the total area of Yalu River Province plus the newly acquired South Korea is not large, only a little more than 220,000 square kilometers, so there is no need to divide it into two provinces. As for the king of the Joseon Dynasty, Li Xi, who was originally controlled by the Japanese, was deposed by Lin Daxin on the charge of being a thief, and the Joseon Dynasty, which had a history of more than 500 years, was officially overthrown, and Korea became Lin Daxin's Yalu River Province.

The Ryukyu Islands, Ogasawara Islands, and Kuril Islands were divided into a special administrative region by Lin Daxin, which was called the Pacific Special Administrative Region, and Guam and Wake Island, which were purchased from the Spaniards, will also belong to the Pacific Special Administrative Region.

After the armistice treaty was signed on November 15, Emperor Meiji received a telegram from Komura Shoutaro, the Japanese minister to the Qing Dynasty, about the specific contents of the armistice treaty.

The Japanese only had more than 100 prisoners of war from the Dingbei Army, but fortunately these prisoners of war did not suffer any mistreatment because of the morale-boosting ceremony that Emperor Meiji was going to perform. However, now the Meiji Emperor's prisoner dedication ceremony can be omitted, and these more than 100 prisoners of war of the Dingbei Army will be exchanged for more than 100,000 Japanese prisoners of war, most of whom belong to the Japanese Northern Dispatch Army. There were also a small number of prisoners of war belonging to the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy.

Of course, the disparity in the number of prisoners of war between the two sides was so large that Japan paid a lot of ransom. are included in the £20 million indemnity.

The Japanese garrison in South Korea, which was surrounded by the Jeongbuk Army, soon learned that Lin Daxin and Japan had signed an armistice treaty. At the same time, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, after all, South Korea, which was surrounded by helplessness, and if the war continued, the fate that awaited them would definitely not be good.

At the beginning of December 1899, the Japanese garrison in South Korea left South Korea, which they had ruled for more than four years, on Japanese transport ships, and with them more than 200,000 Japanese immigrants, all of whom had occupied South Korea for more than four years. The planned Japanese immigrants to south Korea not only encroached on the land of a large number of south Korean people, but were also the vanguard of Japan's forcible seizure of south Korea.

Now these pioneers have returned to Japan along with the Japanese garrison in south Korea, which has caused the Korean people of south Korea to pour into the streets, singing and dancing, enthusiastically celebrating the fact that the invaders have finally been driven out, and at the same time welcoming the units of the Jeongbuk Army to South Korea.

The people of South Korea are completely unrefutable to the Chinese who have changed from Koreans to ethnic Koreans, and even rejoice. Without the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, the status of the Celestial Empire was deeply ingrained in the hearts of the Koreans, and in the Joseon Dynasty, which lasted for more than 500 years, the Korean aristocratic elite always determined its status according to China, a mainland neighbor. North Korea has always referred to itself as "Dongguk" or "Haedong". As the name Dongguk suggests, China is at the heart of a transnational cultural circle in which North Korea participates. China is the Middle Kingdom, and Korea is in the East outside of this Center. China is dominant. Using China as a reference, the North Koreans determine their status.

Chinese Confucian culture has always been admired in North Korea. The common people in North Korea are even proud to speak Chinese, and what kind of life are those of the same people in Yalujiang Province living now? The people of South Korea already know this through various channels, and they still feel sorry for themselves, how unfair it is that the compatriots of the same Korean nationality in Yalugang Province can live a life like a fairy, but they have to suffer from the oppression of the Japanese!

Now that they have the opportunity to live the same life as those compatriots in Yalu River Province, the Korean people of South Korea immediately raised their hands excitedly in approval, as for the Korean kingdom, let it go to hell, anyway, it can't be eaten. There are some old and young people of the Joseon Dynasty who are dissatisfied with Lin Daxin's annexation of South Korea and the destruction of the Lee Dynasty in Korea, and they can only endure it, and the powerful Dingbei Army allows these old and young people to only bury their dissatisfaction deep in their hearts, otherwise the Dingbei Army should use bayonets and bullets to reason with them.

The end of the war with the Japanese, finally let the army and administrative departments under Lin Daxin's command breathe a sigh of relief, from the war with the Russians, to the end of the war with the Japanese, fought for more than 1 year, although the vast land was obtained, but the entire four northeastern provinces paid a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, the four northeastern provinces have been depleted of material and ammunition reserves for several years, and now that the war is over, it can finally be relieved by the troops fighting continuously and the administrative departments that are rotating continuously.

After studying, Lin Daxin and Wu Peifu, chief of the general staff of the Dingbei Army, finally decided to carry out a major reorganization of the entire Dingbei Army, and in order to facilitate the command of large-scale operations in the future, the Dingbei Army will increase the number of corps-level units.

In addition to the three same infantry divisions, the Guards also had an armored division equipped with 120 heavy Panther tanks, 240 light Black Wolf tanks, 300 Z1 armored vehicles and 500 fuel and ammunition supply vehicles, as well as one corps headquarters.
