"General, Japan has always admired Chinese culture, and for thousands of years, we have also been a vassal of China several times. It was not until the Manchurians entered the customs and Shenzhou was covered with dust that Japan broke away from China. It's not that we're disrespectful to China, it's that we just don't look down on the Manchu government. Now, the empire has been founded, and the national power is thriving. Of course, Japan wants to be able to submit to China once again. Your Excellency the General, His Majesty the Emperor has already given clear instructions that we are willing to submit to China and become a vassal state of China, and beg China to accept us again! Please! Onodera Jiro bent down heavily and saluted Lieutenant General Sun Hao, looking very respectful. Although, surrendering to China was not the true intention of the Japanese. However, there is nothing wrong with this in exchange for the support of the Chinese.
Lieutenant General Sun Hao couldn't help but be dumbfounded, the Japanese were so obedient, some of which surprised him. Moreover, these Japanese were also aware of the relationship between the empire and the Manchus, and made a point of indicating that Japan was willing to submit to the empire. The previous secession from China was also entirely due to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
However, it is not so easy to deceive that Lieutenant General Sun Hao was able to become the chief of operations of the Chinese General Staff. Soon he figured out what the Japanese were up to. When China is strong, neighboring countries often bow down to China and become vassal states of China. China's rulers have always advocated mercy towards these vassal states. Every time these vassal states came to pay tribute. Chinese emperors often gave them several times as much as tributary gifts. It can be said that these vassal states came to pay tribute, and they were almost sure to make a profit. Other than that. As soon as China declined, these vassal states immediately turned their backs on people. They will even turn their heads and bite off a few pieces of fat on China's body. During the Ming Dynasty, didn't these Japanese ronins attack China's coast several times?
Obviously, these Japanese now also think that after submitting to China and becoming a vassal state of China. It will be the same as before. China does not interfere in their internal affairs, it just wants a name. However, this time the Japanese miscalculated. China will not make such a mistake again this time. The Chinese Empire was different from previous dynasties. It won't slap a swollen face and become fat. China wants Japan to submit, not just to have a nice name, but to really control Japan and colonize Japan. Plunder all sorts of benefits from Japan!
"You seem to have misunderstood what I meant! Japan was subjugated to China. It's not just a shape. Rather, China will send a governor to rule Japan! The whole of Japan will become an overseas colony of China. China will station troops in Japan. If so, would the Japanese emperor still be willing to submit to China? After Lieutenant General Sun Hao finished speaking, he looked at Onodera Jiro with a smile, waiting to see how he answered.
"Huh? How can this be? Onodera Jiro was stunned for a moment. He apparently did not expect that China would want to dominate Japan this time, not as usual. I just want the name of a vassal state. Emperor Hitotaka was bent on seizing the true rule of Japan. This undoubtedly conflicts with the purpose of the Chinese. Naturally, the Chinese would not support Emperor Renxiao. However, there is no support from the Chinese. Even the Chinese will attack Emperor Renxiao, is it possible for the emperor's great cause to be realized? Onodera Jiro suddenly felt that the development of things had exceeded their expectations and exceeded their expectations.
"General, Japan is poor, much poorer than China, why do you want to colonize Japan?" Onodera Jiro asked. In his opinion, there is no need for China to target Japan! The Japanese can't even eat enough, colonizing Japan, what is the profit?
"It's our own business, and it's up to you. I can tell you very clearly that this time, China will definitely establish its rule in Japan. The destruction of the Edo shogunate is only our first step. Next, any forces that oppose China will be destroyed by us. I don't think you doubt that, right? We have the strength to do that. Lieutenant General Sun Hao said with a smile.
Looking at the smile on Lieutenant General Sun Hao's face, Onodera Jiro only felt chills all over his body. China has such big ambitions for Japan this time, which no one expected. However, he had to admit that China did have the strength to destroy Japan. The Edo shogunate, which ruled Japan, had been wiped out by the Chinese light yì. Will Japan's remaining strength be able to compete with China?
"General, we can pay a certain price and beg China to let Japan go. For example, we can provide military expenses for China's military contribution this time, and we can also provide China with an annual tribute in the future. Onodera Jiro said. Although he knew that such persistence might not have any effect. Still, he wanted to try.
"Haha, no need! When our army conquers Japan, all the wealth of Japan will be ours! Lieutenant General Sun Hao said with a smile. The wealth plundered from the Tokugawa family and the Kanto Plain made Lieutenant General Sun Hao very satisfied. That's a fortune worth more than 200 million Chinese dollars! And that's just the wealth of the Tokugawa family and the Kanto Plain. It is said that the Imperial family was even richer than the Tokugawa family, and since the Kansai and Kyushu regions have always been wealthy, how much wealth can they get? Lieutenant General Sun Hao almost didn't dare to look like each other anymore. He was only able to determine that this attack on Japan was incomparably correct. By taking over Japan, China can get huge amounts of development money.
Hearing Lieutenant General Sun Hao's arrogant answer, Onodera Jiro was frightened. However, he knows, China has this capital. If China wants to use force against Japan, Japan simply has no power to fight back. This is probably the sorrow of a small country!
"Your Excellency, although Japan is a small country, there is no shortage of warriors in Japan. If we rise up against Japan, it will not be so easy for China to dominate Japan. Don't forget, Japan has a population of 20 million! Onodera Jiro said.
"Really? I want to see who dares to oppose us. Anyone who dares to oppose us will be killed. Even if the blood of killing is like a river, it will not be hesitated! Lieutenant General Sun Hao said contemptuously. This Japanese, who dared to threaten him, was simply looking for death. Besides, China, from Emperor Long Yu to ordinary soldiers, did not treat these Japanese as human beings at all. If the Japanese dare to resist, the Chinese* army will make them regret it!
Hearing Lieutenant General Sun Hao's cold words, Onodera Jiro was very helpless. The Chinese general in front of him is like a murderer. However, Japan is powerless to stop this time. Is this time Japan really finished? Although Onodera Jiro is reluctant to believe this qiē, the facts are the facts and cannot be changed at all.
"Your Excellency, in that case, then I will take my leave!" Onodera Jiro said.
Lieutenant General Sun Hao waved his hand, he didn't care at all. Now, the reinforcements of the Chinese* army have arrived, the 13th Infantry Corps and the Edo Bay are now disembarking, and the other 17th Infantry Corps is estimated to have already departed from the country, and in a few days, it should be able to reach Japan. Having been reinforced by two infantry corps, the Chinese* army already had the strength to sweep through Japan. At that time, the Chinese* army will march on the whole of Japan, crush all the resistance strength of Japan with the overwhelming force of Mount Tai, and establish China's domination in Japan with strong force. Even if you are the emperor of Kyoto, don't try to stop China!
After leaving the command of the Chinese* army, Onodera Jiro was disheartened. He knew that this time the mission given to him by Emperor Hitoko was a failure. It's not that he doesn't work hard, it's that they make a mistake in judgment! The Chinese not only want to destroy the Edo shogunate, but also clearly plan to take the whole of Japan into their pockets! He couldn't help but sigh a little, did Emperor Renxiao, who planned this qiē, dig his own grave? If Emperor Renxiao had not planned this situation, Japan might have been able to avoid such a crisis. Of course, he did not know that the destruction of Japan had long been one of the established policies of the Chinese Emperor Long Yufei. It's just that I didn't have time to take care of Japan before, but now I can get out of it, and naturally I won't let Japan go anymore.
Onodera Jiro did not leave Edo immediately, but came to Edo Bay. At this moment, the wharf in Edo Bay is full of merchant ships and transport ships from China, and outside the port, there are still a large number of transport ships and merchant ships waiting. The well-equipped Chinese* troops, in groups, disembarked from the ships and set foot on Japanese soil. This made Onodera Jiro's heart sink to the bottom. He knew that this was China's sending more troops to Japan. The first troops of the Chinese destroyed the Edo shogunate. After the increase in troops, it should be enough to sweep the whole of Japan!
"It seems that this time Japan is really finished. The emperor is also finished. The Onodera family is also finished. No, I have to do something! Onodera Jiro thought secretly. As the patriarch of the Onodera family, he did not want the family that had been passed down for thousands of years to be destroyed like this.
Onodera Jiro once again returned to the headquarters of the Chinese* army, and although Lieutenant General Sun Hao did not know why this Japan had gone and returned, he still received him.
"Your Excellency the Honorable General, on behalf of the Onodera family, I am willing to surrender to China and take refuge in China. If China wants to rule Japan in the future, it will definitely need the support of the locals. The Onodera family is a thousand-year-old family in Japan, and is willing to become Japan's lackeys, begging the shogun to accept the Onodera family's surrender! When Onodera Jiro saw Lieutenant General Sun Hao, he immediately knelt on the ground and expressed his submission! (To be continued......)
