Chapter 549: Where Meiji's heart is entangled
As the war progressed, more and more people fell around Meiji and Ito Hirobumi, and the road of these two seemed to have come to an end.
However, despite the unfavorable situation of the war, Meiji and Ito Hirobumi still led the crowd to fight non-stop, and they were not moved by the current disadvantage in the slightest.
And Huang Xu kept shaking his head at this situation, he felt that Meiji and Ito Hirobumi were really brainless, they were still there at this time, and they were still there, I really don't know if these two elm heads have figured it out, whether face is important, or life is more important.
And Huang Xu has figured out a truth, the Japanese are really inflexible, otherwise, how could they not even understand such a simple truth, it is no wonder that they have come to this point.
When the last Japanese soldier defending Meiji was killed, Meiji and Ito Hirobumi were left alone, their backs to back, and they were surrounded by the Taipings.
It can be said that their lives are already in the hands of Huang Xu.
Huang Xu, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw this scene, smiled, and walked over, he stepped on a large number of corpses, and slowly walked outside the encirclement, and the Taiping army generals saw that it was the emperor's majesty, and immediately opened a gap and let Huang Xu in.
Huang Xu walked into the encirclement and stood facing the Meiji two.
It was the first time he had come so close to Meiji and Ito Hirobumi.
And he looked at the two bloodstained faces, shook his head slightly, and then said, "Two, how is it, are you convinced?" ”
Huang Xu didn't mean to be sarcastic or complacent, as the final victor, he was just telling a fact
"Hmph, the king is defeated, since we are defeated, then there is nothing to say. What do you want, just come to us. Meiji snorted coldly and said.
He doesn't accept it, and how can he accept it, he just dies. I want him to be convinced, dreaming!
Looking at this frame, Meiji is bent on dying.
When Huang Xu heard this, he didn't make too much trouble with him, he just smiled, and then looked at the two of them with pity, and then sighed and said: "Two, you are all heroes for a while, and now you are in my hands." It's just that the actual luck is not good, if the two of you can change your mind, I will put my words here today, you are still the emperor and prime minister of Japan, how about it? ”
Either kill them all, or raze them, this is the conquest strategy that Huang Xu has already set, since he no longer intends to kill the two. Then he had to find a way to make the best use of these two people to serve the Empire.
So. He had to make the two of them understand first that although they lost to Huang Xu, they didn't lose anything, they were still the original emperor and prime minister, and they could still govern their country.
Merely. They had to obey Huang Xu and be loyal to the Chinese Empire.
"What do you mean?" Meiji listened to Huang Xu's words and said with a little surprise.
He was surprised and didn't know what Huang Xu meant. They didn't believe that Huang Xu would be so kind and kind to let them all return to you, if so, then didn't this battle be fought in vain, didn't everyone die in vain?
And although Ito Hirofumi, who was beside Meiji, also frowned, he didn't speak, he was carefully savoring the meaning of Huang Xu's words.
"Haha, if Emperor Meiji is such a wise person, can't he still understand the meaning of my words?" Huang Xu laughed and asked rhetorically.
Huang Xu believes that Meiji can understand, even if he doesn't understand it now, he will understand it when he thinks about it.
"You're saying, you're saying, you're going to give us back the empire?" Meiji was a little incredulous.
He was a little confused, his brain was completely inadequate, he didn't believe that there was such a good thing, and pie would fall from the sky, which was too unbelievable for him.
To be honest, he really couldn't believe it.
"Yes, but conditionally." Huang Xu continued.
If you want to get, you have to pay, this is an eternal truth, there is nothing in this world that you don't get.
Therefore, it is not impossible to return the Japanese state to Meiji, but there are conditions.
"Conditions? What conditions? Meiji swallowed, a little impatient.
The inheritance of the ancestors cannot be discarded, and if there is a chance to get it back, Meiji certainly cannot let it go.
Therefore, looking at Meiji's face, Huang Xu knew that he was moved.
"The conditions are very simple, submit to our Chinese empire and be a vassal of our dynasty." Huang Xu's face was grim and said.
There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and if you want to take it for nothing without paying a price, it is not possible.
And this qiē is also in Huang Xu's calculations.
However, the only thing he is not sure about is whether Meiji will agree to do so, and looking at Meiji's attitude, it seems a little difficult.
Sure enough, when Meiji heard that this was such a condition, his face couldn't help but change, and he immediately wanted to refuse, for him, he thought that this condition was too harsh.
However, Ito Hirobumi spoke up before him: "Your Majesty, please think about it, and then it's not too late to make a decision." ”
Ito Hirobumi is trying to persuade Meiji in disguise, calm down and think about it, and at the same time, he also leaves room for maneuver on his side, if he says everything to death, everything will be done, and if he wants to turn back again, it will not be so easy.
Ito Hirobun has always had the heart to preserve Meiji and Japan, and he has always advocated temporary patience in exchange for the continuation of the empire, and then re-embark on the road to recovery.
And the conditions proposed by Huang Xu, in Ito Hirofumi's view, are not impossible to try.
It's just that it takes a lot of determination and courage, just imagine, if a person is used to being a human being, but now suddenly turns around and asks him to serve others, this kind of change is not something that everyone can bear.
And with Meiji's arrogance, it is indeed a bit difficult for him to make such a big change, and this is the fundamental reason why Ito Hirobumi intends to make Meiji calm down and think about it.
He knew Meiji too well.
And Meiji swallowed back the words that came to his mouth after listening to Ito Hirobumi's words, he is not an ordinary person, and he also knows a lot about the powerful relationship between this, but, as he knowingly estimated, as the emperor of the Great Japanese Empire, if he wants to immediately adapt to the role of submission, this change is too big.
He couldn't get used to it.
However, he also knew that Ito Hirobumi was well-intentioned, so he couldn't take Ito Hirobumi's meaning too lightly.
"Okay, then we'll think about it." Meiji took a deep breath and said.
He was able to do this, which can be regarded as a very big concession.
As for Huang Xu, he didn't have much hope, but now that he heard Meiji say that he had to think about it, he was surprised and a little happy at the same time, because thinking about it means that things are going much better than he expected.
So, Huang Xu agreed.
Then, there was silence.
This is the time to consider Meiji.
After thinking about it, Meiji carefully turned over all the links, the good and the bad, the advantageous, and the unfavorable, and seriously turned it over, and thought about it again and again.
To be honest, he hesitated, he hesitated, and he didn't even know what to do.
He couldn't make up his mind.
Of course, Meiji is also human, so it's normal to be a little entangled.
And Huang Xu just waited silently on the sidelines.
After almost the time of the two pillars of incense, Huang Xu saw Meiji's eyes light up, and there was a trace of firmness in his eyes, Huang Xu knew that he had already thought about it.
Huang Xu was a little looking forward to it.
"Huang Xu, listen, I am the emperor of the Japanese Empire, I would rather die than surrender!" Meiji is domineering and authentic.
It's just that his domineering spirit doesn't always sound so good.
When Huang Xu heard this, his face couldn't help showing disappointment, from little hope, to maintaining a trace of expectation, and then to disappointment, Huang Xu went through a great ideological process in the Meiji matter, and the final answer was just to return to the original point.
For Huang Xu, this is not the best answer, nor is it the worst answer, but this is the answer.
Since this is the case, then don't blame him, what should be said, what should be given, what should be done, he has already done, and he has no choice for the rest.
And Ito Hirobumi on the side heard Meiji's words, although he was a little disappointed, but in the end he also breathed a sigh of relief, and the nervousness on his face also relaxed, he felt that he was finally relieved, he didn't have to worry about Meiji and Meiji's empire anymore, he could let go.
And Huang Xu's face swept over the faces of the Meiji two for the last time, and then he waved his hand, only to see the archers of the Taiping Army raise the bow in their hands and aim at the Meiji two.
Farewell, Meiji, farewell, Hirofumi Ito, Huang Xu said in his heart.
He wanted to bless the departure of these two opponents, and the first qiē was finally coming to an end.
And the Meiji couple also waited for this last moment with a relieved face.
The bow was pulled up, the arrow was like a meteor, and finally it burst into Meiji and Ito Hirobumi.
Just listen to the pop, the sharp arrow enters the body, and everyone feels that another life is about to die.
However, after someone figured out a qiē, it turned out that the arrow was not inserted into the Meiji duo, but into another person.
Huang Xu looked at the figure that was slowly falling, his face changed greatly, and then he only heard him roar wildly and rushed straight over. (To be continued......)
