Looking at Onodera Jiro kneeling in front of him, Lieutenant General Sun Hao was dumbfounded. Onodera Jiro considered himself a loyal servant of the emperor a moment ago, but now, he has sold the emperor cleanly. Lieutenant General Sun Hao is the first time to see such a clean person sold by the seller seeking glory. Although, Lieutenant General Sun Hao is very shameful of Onodera Jiro's behavior. However, he had to admit that with the support of the Japanese natives, it would have been easier for China to rule Japan. After all, Japan has a population of more than 20 million people. It is not easy for China to dominate and enslave these Japanese. Although Lieutenant General Sun Hao once threatened that if the Japanese resisted, he would not hesitate to shed a river of Japanese blood. But that's just a threat. Kill all the Japanese, and the Chinese* army itself will definitely pay a big price. At the same time, the gains outweigh the losses.
Onodera Jiro knelt on the ground, silently waiting for Lieutenant General Sun Hao's reply. He was also a little apprehensive in his heart, not knowing whether the Chinese general would accept his proposal. However, he didn't want to lose the opportunity to make the Onodera family prosperous. Although it has a bad reputation for becoming a lackey of the Chinese, it can get actual benefits. Besides, as long as the family can become strong, reputation and the like don't matter. The only thing to worry about now. That is, the Chinese side did not accept the allegiance of the Onodera family.
"You get up first!" Lieutenant General Sun Hao said.
"General, is China willing to accept the allegiance of the Onodera family? The Onodera family is not a top family in Japan, though. But it's also a family that has been passed down for thousands of years. We are familiar with the situation in various parts of Japan, and we also have contacts in various places. Our allegiance will certainly satisfy the Chinese side. Onodera Jiro looked at Lieutenant General Sun Hao with blank eyes, as if he was praying for a puppy with a piece of flesh and bones from his master!
"Onodera Jiro, I appreciate and am satisfied with your attitude. But. How to deal with Japan needs to be decided by His Majesty the Emperor of our country, and this is not something that I, a general with troops, can decide. Lieutenant General Sun Hao said.
Onodera Jiro nodded. But he was not discouraged. He could hear that Lieutenant General Sun Hao was more optimistic about him. Being able to hook up with the senior generals of the Chinese* military, Onodera Jiro is already very satisfied.
"Well, I'll go back and wait for news. We try our best to get in touch with the country. And then tell you the result. I will build yì to the emperor. Accept your Onodera family's. Lieutenant General Sun Hao said.
"Ahh Thank you so much, Your Excellency. From now on, His Excellency the Shogun will be the benefactor of the Onodera family, and the Onodera family will never forget the great kindness of His Excellency the Shogun for generations to come. "Onodera Jiro is grateful.
"Hmm!" Lieutenant General Sun Hao nodded, waved his hand, and asked Onodera Jiro to leave. At the same time, he began to secretly think about how to write the fold presented to the Chinese emperor Long Yufei. He believes in how to dispose of Japan. Emperor Long Yufei must have had a plan for a long time. Still, he intends to express his opinion. He is now the Chief of Operations of the General Staff of the Chinese* Army. Also a popular candidate for the next Chief of the General Staff. However, it is not so easy to become the chief of the General Staff. In addition to being proficient in military affairs, we cannot be ignorant of government affairs. This time is a good opportunity for Lieutenant General Sun Hao.
Within a few minutes, Lieutenant General Sun Hao's adjutant walked in and said to him, "General, there is another Japanese who wants to see you, and he claims to be the envoy of Mori Kekin, the lord of the Choshu Domain of Japan. ”
"Choshu Domain? What are they going to do? Lieutenant General Sun Hao was a little surprised. The emperor's envoy had only come before, and now the lord of a powerful Japanese feudal domain, such as the Choshu domain, had also sent an envoy to meet him. There are several powerful feudal clans in Japan, but they are the most powerful outside of the Edo shogunate.
"General, the visitor didn't say anything, but I guess they want to take refuge in us. Although we have not yet launched an attack on all parts of Japan, fools know that the next Japan must be ours. These princes will definitely not be able to sit still. The adjutant said.
"Alright, let him in!" Lieutenant General Sun Hao said. He wanted to see what the Japanese were up to.
Soon, a small middle-aged Japanese man walked in under the leadership of the adjutant, and after seeing Lieutenant General Sun Hao, he immediately came to a ninety-degree bow, and then said: "Your Excellency Honorable General, I am an envoy sent to meet you by His Excellency Mori Keiko, the lord of the Choshu domain, and my name is Junichi Hirota. ”
"Hmmm! If there's anything you can just say. Lieutenant General Sun Hao nodded, without the slightest politeness, and said straight to the point.
Junichi Hirota didn't care about Lieutenant General Sun Hao's coldness in the slightest, but took it for granted. China is the victor in this war, and Lieutenant General Sun Hao, as China's current top general in Japan, naturally deserves these racks.
"General, the lord of the domain asked me to express my sincerest respect to His Majesty the Emperor of China on his behalf. The Edo shogunate was arrogant and provoked the great China without authorization, which was simply self-defeating. We, the Choshu Domain, have always condemned this behavior of the Edo Shogunate. Now, the Edo shogunate has received the punishment it deserves. The Chōshū clan hopes to be forgiven by China and will be loyal to China from now on! Junichi Hirota said.
"The Chōshū Domain is to pledge allegiance to China?" Lieutenant General Sun Hao was a little surprised. These Japanese are really masters of seeing the wind and steering! Seeing that Japan was no longer good, he immediately gave up and instead hoped to hug China's thigh. And the emperor of Japan was obviously thrown up again.
"Is this what your lord meant?" Lieutenant General Sun Hao asked.
"Yes, Your Excellency! The feudal lord wanted China to accept the allegiance of the Maori family, and from now on, the Maori family would be a lackey of China! Junichi Hirota said.
"Okay, I see. However, whether or not to accept the allegiance of the Maori family, I still need to be able to accept the allegiance of the Emperor Xià. Lieutenant General Sun Hao said.
"Yes, Your Excellency!" Junichi Hirota nodded hurriedly. Although he has not yet received a definite answer, he believes that this is a good start. However, the Chinese side did not refuse the Maori family's refuge. If the Maori family can get China's support, then the Maori family will definitely grow in strength in the future. Even if it is a lackey of China because of this, what does it matter?
Next, the Shimazu family of the Satsuma Domain, the Yamauchi family of the Tosa Domain, and the Nabeshima family of the Hizen Domain also sent envoys to meet with Lieutenant General Sun Hao. The only demand they have expressed is that they want to be loyal to China and become China's spokesperson in Japan. Obviously, these guys knew that they would not be able to defeat China by force, and if they tried to resist, the Tokugawa shogunate would be a lesson for them. The only way to ensure the longevity of the family is to be loyal to China and receive China's support. The Japanese have always admired the strong, and they don't think there's anything wrong with doing so.
After meeting with these people one after another, Lieutenant General Sun Hao also had a general plan. China's future colonial rule over Japan will rely on these Japanese who are loyal to China. In order to ensure the future rebellion of the Japanese, China must not only support one Japanese, but several families at the same time. In this way, let them contain each other, and China's rule in Japan can be consolidated. At the same time, these families were pitted against each other, and the whole of Japan was de facto divided. In this way, it will not pose a threat to China. China colonized Japan in order to extract as much wealth as possible from Japan. It is undoubtedly the most appropriate way to let these Japanese bear the notoriety.
Lieutenant General Sun Hao quickly finished writing the melo, and then sent a clipper ship to Guangzhou to report to Emperor Long Yufei. However, it will take at least half a month to come and go. Lieutenant General Sun Hao knew that the Academy of Sciences was developing wireless telegraphy technology, and if it could be successfully developed, then long-distance communication would no longer be a restriction.
Next, after landing in Edo, the 13th Infantry Corps of the Chinese Army began to sweep through the surrounding feudal domains from the Kanto Plain. Most of these areas were ruled by the former Tokugawa shogunate. After the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate, the feudal lords of these regions were also greatly weakened, and they were no match for the Chinese* army at all. Except for a very small number of feudal lords who chose to resist stubbornly and were exterminated by the Chinese* army, the other feudal lords surrendered to China.
A few days later, the 17th Infantry Corps also landed in Edo. However, Lieutenant General Sun Hao has not yet sent this force out for the time being. He is still waiting for the restoration of the country. Can his advice be adopted by Long Yufei. If the opinion is adopted, it will be easy for China to occupy Japan.
Lieutenant General Sun Hao's recital was only delivered to Long Yufei on August 8. Long Yufei was very interested in Lieutenant General Sun Hao's construction.
"Let the Japanese rule and manage the Japanese, we don't have to care about the process of rule, we just need to look at the results. In addition, having several families restrain each other would ensure Chinese rule in Japan. That's a good way to do it! Long Yufei said secretly. Originally, he planned to directly govern Japan and then plunder Japan's wealth and resources as much as possible. However, in this case, China would have to station a very large force in Japan. If there are local Japanese people who take refuge, it will be much less difficult. China retains at most one infantry corps in Japan, and that would be enough. The surplus forces can be used in other directions. For example, on the Indochina Peninsula, there are still two traditional Chinese subject countries waiting to be cleaned up! (To be continued......)
