After Lin Daxin signed an armistice agreement with Japan, the troops of the Dingbei Army on the Japanese island of Kyushu withdrew from the Japanese mainland, which made the Japanese finally breathe a sigh of relief, but looking at the remaining three large islands, especially almost all the coastal cities, you can imagine what the Japanese are feeling.

Since the Meiji Restoration, most of the achievements have been concentrated in coastal cities, which are also the most developed cities in Japan, but now these cities that the Japanese are proud of have become piles of ruins.

However, to the relief of the Japanese, they finally did not have to face the danger of losing their country, and after the signing of the armistice agreement, Japanese Prime Minister Saionji Konozo returned to Utsunomiya Castle in Japan, where he was greeted by many ministers led by Emperor Meiji.

After Prime Minister Saionji Gongwang saw Emperor Meiji, he said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty the Emperor, woo, Hokkaido is gone, and we have also compensated a huge war reparation of 50 million pounds, plus interest is more than 110 million pounds. ”

Emperor Meiji patted Prime Minister Saionji Konozo on the shoulder and said, "No! Xiyuan Temple-kun, you have made a great contribution to the Great Japanese Empire, since Hokkaido Island is occupied by the Dingbei Army, we don't have to think about taking it back from Lin Daxin's mouth, after all, Lin Daxin's greedy reputation is already world-renowned, and it is not easy for you to make Lin Daxin give up Kyushu Island, which makes the Great Japanese Empire at least keep the best part of the homeland. ”

Prime Minister Saionji Gongwang's choked voice stopped, but he still said with tears on his face: "But a huge sum of 110 million pounds will give us the finances of the Japanese Empire." For many years to come, there will be no small amount of pressure. ”

Emperor Meiji smiled and said, "My Prime Minister." You don't know yet, the British have promised to come to the aid of our Great Japanese Empire. Among them is a large amount of loans to support the reconstruction plan of our Great Japanese Empire, the difficulties are only temporary, and I believe that the subjects of our Great Japanese Empire will work together to make our Great Japanese Empire tide over the difficulties and rise again! ”

In order to arrange a hidden danger around Lin Daxin, the British reached a series of aid plans with Japan after the armistice agreement was signed between Japan and Lin Daxin, including the first interest-free loan of 12 million pounds. In addition to helping Japan pay the first instalment of war reparations, the remaining funds will be used for the reconstruction of Japan's coastal cities, as well as the reconstruction of destroyed shipyards.

After Lin Daxin signed an armistice agreement with Japan, those countries that joined the Eight-Nation Alliance began to accumulate strength and develop their heads, especially those who had the ability, and built dreadnought battleships one after another, so that for a long time to come, one after another dreadnought battleships entered the ranks of the navies of various countries. Let the Navy truly usher in the era of dreadnoughts.

Lin Daxin accompanied Song Keer in the future time and space in European countries until the end of Song Keer's one-month vacation, and then sent the reluctant Song Keer on the plane back to China, Lin Daxin also returned to Laoag City in the Philippines, and the two of them will meet in Hong Kong from time to time after they meet. Lin Daxin still didn't dare to return to China lightly, so he could only meet Song Keer in Hong Kong, but fortunately, Song Keer's school was in Guangzhou. It's not far from Hong Kong.

After Lin Daxin returned to Laoag City, he learned that Huaxing would basically dominate the underground forces of the entire Luzon Island during this time. The whole process can be described as uneventful, after all, the strongest gang on Luzon Island has been wiped out by the Huaxing Society. At present, the main focus of the Huaxing Association is on the integration of the gang's industry, which also allows Lin Daxin to rest assured that he can focus on the time and space of the Qing Dynasty, and there is no need for Lin Daxin to worry about the Huaxing Society.

The war between Tongguò and the Eight-Nation Alliance, the addition of more than a dozen provinces, there are too many things that need to be done, and it is a very big project to carry out immigration to the top, and the immigrants are not all right if they send people to new territory, they need to build houses, allocate land, establish a basic administrative system, etc., and there are a lot of complicated things, and it is also necessary to establish garrisons in these new provinces, which means that the scale of the Dingbei Army will be expanded.

At present, there are 12 garrison troops under Lin Daxin's command, but now Lin Daxin's territory has 28 provinces, which requires the establishment of 16 new garrison armies.

In addition, because the Northeast Navy has captured a large number of warships, Lin Daxin is also ready to reorganize, and 7 provincial super dreadnought battleships and 6 dragon-class dreadnought battleships, Lin Daxin is also ready to be assigned to their respective main fleets, and many garrison fleets also need to be reorganized.

However, none of the above things are imminent, and Lin Daxin has one more thing that must be done quickly, which is to prepare to take advantage of the power of Western countries and be almost driven out of Southeast Asia by himself, and show his steel teeth to the Dutch, who have long been displeasing to him, and expand the area of Lanfang Province to the entire Kalimantan Island, and even expand the area of Lanfang Province even more.

So Lin Daxin ordered the garrison of Lanfang Province to create friction on the border line, and then take the opportunity to attack the Dutch, it is best to snatch the entire Indonesia controlled by the Dutch at once, anyway, there is no force that can help the Dutch now, only rely on the Dutch's own strength, for Lin Daxin's Dingbei Army and Northeast Navy, this is simply a sure thing.

However, what Lin Daxin never expected was that as soon as the troops of Lanfang Province created friction on the border line, the Dutch came to Lin Daxin to ask for a redraw of the border.

Surprisingly, the Dutch themselves offered to cede the rest of Kalimantan to Lin in exchange for Lin's support for their continued occupation of the rest of Indonesia.

The Dutch have long understood that the entire Southeast Asia, including Britain and France, have been driven out by Lin Daxin, and they have more Dutchmen. Can it be compared to the British and French?

Obviously, the Netherlands is weaker, if you don't know the current affairs at this time. Then wait for the fate of the Netherlands, except for the gray slip away from Indonesia. There is no other way out, so the top leaders of the Netherlands have summed up, it is better to donate a piece of land to ensure safety!

Lin Daxin looked at the Dutch representative with a smile on his face, and was speechless for a moment, you Dutch people are a little backbone, okay? I've just created friction here, and the troops haven't been in place yet, so you just give the remaining part of Kalimantan with your hands, is there any discipline here?

However, for the sake of the Dutch who are so knowledgeable about current affairs, Lin Daxin feels quite face-saving. After all, this was the first time that someone had taken the initiative to offer himself territory, so Lin Daxin ordered the military operation against the Dutch to stop, and let the garrison of Lan Fong Province take over the remaining territory of Kalimantan Island, which would also be assigned to the administrative area of Lan Fong Province.

As for the remaining territory of the Dutch in Indonesia, let the Dutch continue to occupy it for a period of time, and then reconsider those territories when Lin Daxin is in a bad mood!

As soon as the matter of the Dutch was over, a holy decree came from the imperial court, because Lin Daxin was in the war with the Eight-Nation Alliance. For the Qing Dynasty to achieve an unprecedented victory, the court was particularly gracious and canonized Lin Daxin as the king of Dingbei, and hereditary replacement. He was in charge of the military and political affairs of his territory.

Lin Daxin was still very happy to receive this holy decree, and immediately asked people to prepare the governor's palace in Shenyang City. Changed to the palace of the king of Dingbei, Lin Daxin so far. Nor did he make up his mind to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and replace it. After all, their old Lin family has been an official of the Qing Dynasty for generations, and they can be regarded as receiving the emperor's grace, if Lin Daxin destroys the Qing Dynasty, he will inevitably be suspected of killing the master, and the hurdle in Lin Daxin's heart has not been passed.

However, Lin Daxin himself does not want to, it does not mean that others do not want to, some of his subordinates have long wanted Lin Daxin to ascend the throne as the emperor, especially as Lin Daxin's power becomes stronger and stronger, and the corruption and incompetence of the Manchu court are revealed.

At a high-end hotel in Shenyang, Li Kun, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, hosted a banquet today for Wu Peifu, chief of the general staff of the Dingbei Army, and Shen Peng, director of the Secrecy Bureau.

In a private room in the hotel, after the three of them pushed the glass and changed the lamp for a while, Li Kun put down the wine glass, hesitated for a moment and said: "Everyone knows that the imperial court has just canonized the principal as the king of Dingbei, I don't know what Lao Wu and Lao Shen think about this matter?" ”

Wu Peifu snorted coldly and said: "If you want me to see, the principal should be the king of Dingbei, he should directly order the army to go out of Shanhaiguan, go straight to Beijing City, and overthrow the rotten Manchu court, and then the principal will ascend the throne and become the emperor of the Ninth Five, what is so rare about a Dingbei king." ”

Shen Peng pondered for a moment, looked at Li Kun and asked, "I don't know what you think, Lao Li?" ”

Li Kun's eyes suddenly released a glimmer of essence and said: "I think we should help the principal ascend to that position, otherwise, according to the principal's attitude towards the imperial court, if we want to overthrow the imperial court and let the principal become the emperor, I don't know when we have to wait!" Those of us who are subordinates should be pushed. ”

Wu Peifu showed a little surprise when he heard this, but immediately disappeared, but Shen Peng didn't even show a little surprise, and said with a smile: "I knew that your Lao Li would not be so simple, if you have any ideas, just say it!" The relationship between the three of us should not be covered up. ”

Wu Peifu also said in a deep voice at this time: "Lao Li, how do you want to help the principal?" ”

Li Kun looked at the two people and said: "I have been planning this matter, I am ready to activate the many chess pieces that our military intelligence bureau has been planting in the Great Fresh Army, use the new army stationed in Beijing City, occupy the entire Beijing City, and welcome the principal into Beijing, I hope that this matter will be supported by the Secret Bureau and the General Staff, and the forces of the Secret Bureau in the New Army and Beijing City must also take action, and the General Staff needs to formulate a detailed battle plan for the entire operation, and prepare to send troops to respond." ”

After Li Kun finished speaking, the private room fell into silence, Wu Peifu and Shen Peng both frowned, this is not a trivial matter, this is a matter of planning a change of dynasty behind Lin Daxin's back, and in the end, it can be successful, will Lin Daxin spare these masterminds?

Li Kun looked at Wu Peifu and Shen Peng in the private room and fell into deep thought, picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip gently, and waited for the two to express their positions, Li Kun was actually eighty percent sure in his heart, and the two of them would agree, you must know that the two of them are as loyal to Lin Daxin as themselves, and they all hope that Lin Daxin can ascend the throne and become emperor one day.

Sure enough, after the two of them thought about it for a while, Wu Peifu gritted his teeth and said: "Since Lao Li, you are going to help the principal ascend to the throne, I will also let it go, even if the principal blames me and kills me in the end, as long as the principal is made the emperor, so that our nation, which is deeply poisoned by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, can become stronger and stronger under the leadership of the principal, and I, Wu Peifu, will also admit it!" Yes! Our General Staff will cooperate with this operation, and in addition to drawing up a detailed plan, we will also send troops to the border line of the province directly under the government, ready to meet the troops of the New Army at any time. ”

Shen Peng also nodded and said: "I also hoped for a long time that the principal could overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and ascend the throne as emperor, but the principal has always taken into account the friendship of the monarch and the minister, and he has been slow to make up his mind. Lao Li, after a while, our two bureaus will exchange the personnel situation in the new army and in Beijing, and don't kill each other when the time comes. ”

Li Kun said with an excited look on his face: "With the support of 2 brothers, great things can be done!" As long as it succeeds, the principal will track it down, and I will do my best to take responsibility and try not to affect the two brothers. ”

Wu Peifu shook his head and said: "The matter was planned by a few of us, if the principal is to blame, we will share the responsibility, but as long as the matter is successful, it doesn't matter how many of us do!" ”

Shen Peng also said: "If I can push the principal to that position, it will cost me Shen Peng's life, and I am willing!" ”

Li Kun nodded and said: "Then let's not talk nonsense, from now on, our three departments will be operating immediately, and I have given this operation a name, which is called Yellow Robe Jiashen!" ”

"Yellow robe!" Wu Peifu and Shen Peng repeated, both nodded, and then the three of them did not continue to drink the wine, and left in a hurry. (To be continued......)
