Sure enough, on the core issue -- the issue of Fengtian Province in eastern Liaodong, there were differences between the two sides tomorrow and Japan. [！。！ More. NEW]

At the beginning, Daiyama Toshiaki did not agree to Daming dividing the land outside the customs at all. He said that according to Japan's expectations, the two countries should take Shanhaiguan-Nuruerhushan-Daxinganling as the dividing line, and all the west of this line belongs to the Ming Kingdom, and the east of this line belongs to Japan. Japan was satisfied with the whole of Manchuria, and did not think of going to Outer Mongolia at all.

The implication of his words is: I don't want Outer Mongolia with you in Japan, and you don't want to fight with me in Japan for Fengtian Province.

Fengtian (Liaoning) is not only the most economically rich, the most concentrated and densely populated place in Northeast China, but also a strategic location in Northeast Asia, which has a far-reaching impact on China, the Korean Peninsula and Japan. Such an important place, of course, both sides wanted. It is understandable that Japan is willing to give up several times the size of Outer Mongolian land for its sake.

This is Japan's offer, which is similar to what Daming expected. But since it's an offer, it's time to bargain.

He Ziguang immediately pointed out that the Liaodong Peninsula was given to Japan, which was absolutely unacceptable to the Ming Dynasty. That's the bottom line. You can talk about it outside of this bottom line, but you can't talk about it.

Toshiaki Oyama also smiled after hearing this, he knew that there was little point in dwelling on this issue. There was no moisture in He Ziguang's words, and it was impossible for the Ming Kingdom to give the entire Liaodong Peninsula to Japan. At least Port Arthur must not give. If Japan wants to continue negotiations, it cannot but make concessions.

Toshiaki Oyama immediately took a step back, carefully drew on the map with a two-color pencil red end, and said with a smile:

"That's good...... How about you look at this dividing line? …… The two sides jointly occupy the Liaodong Peninsula, with the Fuzhou River and the Biliu River as the dividing line...... Your country occupies the part south of this line, that is, the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, including the whole Lushun Peninsula, Jinzhou, Wafangdian, and Pulandian...... This is already a third of the Liaodong Peninsula.

"In this way, your country has not only mastered Lushun, but also the six corresponding places of the Changshan Islands belong to your country...... In this way, your country can take Lushun as its home port and the Changshan Islands as its sub-port, forming a group of military ports similar to the Zhoushan Islands...... In this way, your country will no longer have to worry about the security of the 'sea gateway'. ”

On the surface, it sounds like a big concession, but everyone knows that just a few ports will not work. 6 The place on the ground is only the size of sesame mung beans, not to mention that there are at most one or two divisions, and there is not the slightest depth. The Japanese army only needed one charge from 6 places to the north, and it was possible to take it down. Not to mention the loss of place, even the warships in the harbor are likely to be captured.

He Ziguang still shook his head and resolutely objected.

"Mr. Ambassador, although I don't know how much of a concession your government has given you, I can tell you clearly that my country will not make any concessions on the Fengtian issue in Liaodong. We must master the entire province of Mukden that encompasses the Liaodong Peninsula, including a sufficiently wide corridor leading to the six regions of the Guannai. As for the land, you don't have to worry, our country can use three times the area of Mukden to compensate your country in Mongolia. ”

Toshiaki Oyama smiled slyly:

"Your Excellency, my country is an island country, and we don't need such a large area of 6 territories. We prefer to choose a place that is smaller and closer to our mainland. Mukden shares a direct border with North Korea and is extremely important to our country. Your country is a large 6 country with rich experience in governing a large area of 6 countries. A large area of land in Mongolia is just what your country can use. ”

He Ziguang frowned, looked at his pocket watch, and said:

"Mr. Ambassador, we are short on time right now, and we don't have time to test each other. It's best to throw away the old routines, and since everyone is sincere, it's best to be honest. Just say the bottom line separately, don't say some 'flowery' words"

Toshiaki Oyama smiled and didn't answer, but nodded slightly according to Japanese custom, and said softly:

"Yes, yes......"

He Ziguang and Xiang Xiaoqiang glanced at each other. Xiang Xiaoqiang flicked the dust on the epaulette, and said lightly:

"Mr. Ambassador, the situation on the front line is changing rapidly, and if we cooperate, it would be better to make more sense before our army occupies Shandong. Otherwise...... It doesn't make much sense. ”

Toshiaki Oyama and Kenji Dohihara glanced at each other, and both understood. Xiang Xiaoqiang is secretly threatening, now joining forces to carve up the Northern Qing Dynasty is what you are looking for, we just want to end it faster and die less, so we agreed to talk to you. But if you are still so unhappy, then when our army completely wins the Central Plains Campaign, crosses the Yellow River and approaches Beijing, there will be nothing to do with you.

Dohihara Xian smiled, sat forward for a while, and said directly:

"So what's your bottom line?"

He Ziguang was not verbose, took a two-color pencil, drew slowly on the map with the blue end, and said:

"I have heard for a long time that General Tu Feiyuan is straightforward and has the legacy of Confucian generals in the Han and Tang dynasties...... Although He is engaged in diplomacy, he also likes straightforward people...... Well, the opinion of our government is this: the southeast, or the Yalu River as the boundary...... In the east, it is bounded by the Hunjiang River and the Fuer River...... In the north, it is bounded by the Qing River and the Liao River...... To the west, it is bounded by Nurul Tiger Mountain...... In the southwest, it is bounded by Shanhaiguan. ”

In this way, he almost encircled the entire province of Fengtian, about 130,000 square kilometers, accounting for one-sixth of the entire Manchurian region.

Seeing that Mingguo was so "lion opened his mouth", Toshiaki Oyama and Kenji Dohihara glanced at each other, both shaking their heads and laughing, expressing their unacceptability.

"Since Your Excellency the Minister likes to be straightforward," Kenji Dohihara sighed, "I'll be straightforward." Your Excellency the Chancellor has drawn too big. Although your country said that it would cede Manchuria to us, it took away the most prosperous and fertile piece from it. Our country needs six large territories, not only land, but also resources. Half of the entire Manchurian mineral resources are concentrated in Mukden Province. We do not have these resources of our own. In this way, we get the land, but we don't get the resources, what's the point? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled:

"Isn't that half of that outside of Mukden?"

Toshiaki Oyama glanced at him, a little unhappy. Kenji Dohihara smiled:

"Hehe, General Xiang is really joking."

Xiang Xiaoqiang also smiled:

"Hehe, each other, Mr. Tsuchihara's joke is also good. The whole of Manchuria has 800,000 square kilometers, and Mukden has only 1340,000 square kilometers, accounting for only one-sixth. However, Mr. Tu Feiyuan said that half of the mineral resources of the whole of Manchuria are concentrated in this one-sixth place, which is obviously unreasonable. It can only be said that the population of Fengtian is relatively concentrated, and it is also close to Guannai, so there are more resources. The other five-sixths of Manchuria is still full of resources, but most of the places are sparsely populated and the resources are not exploited much. If you start to open it after you get it, then your country will now have five-sixths of Manchuria's resources in your hands, and only one-sixth of them will be in Mukden. ”

Kenji Dohihara saw that his concept of stealing was immediately recognized, and he also smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head.

He Ziguang nodded slightly to Xiao Qiang, and then said:

"Mr. Ambassador, I still say the same thing, since everyone is sincere, then don't dwell on these bottom line issues. As I have just stated, the border of 'five rivers and one mountain' is related to China's core interests and is the bottom line, and we really cannot retreat. We might as well look away from here and to the north. To the north, we can compensate your country with a large amount of land. ”

As he spoke, he stretched his pencil to the northern part of Mongolia and roughly circled the eastern half of Inner Mongolia and the eastern third of Outer Mongolia.

While paddling, he smiled at Xiaoqiang and said:

"We can all give these lands to your country. Including the center of Outer Mongolia, the Great Kulun (Ulaanbaatar), is within the scope of your country. In this way, as long as the cooperation with our country is successful, the return of the country will increase the territory of about ...... 180,000 square kilometers, equivalent to five times the current land area. …… Your country will grow from a small, barren island country with many volcanoes and earthquakes to a vast empire with vast territory and abundant resources that spans the sea6.

"Hehe, no one will call your country 'Little Japan' anymore, and everyone will convincingly call your country 'Great Japan'. Your country's name, the 'great' Japanese Empire, will also live up to its name. …… How about it, isn't that enough to make your country smile and give up a little Mukden? ”

Although Toshiaki Oyama and Kenji Dohihara's faces were still unwavering, Xiang Xiaoqiang clearly saw that their Adam's apples rolled slightly.

Neither of them expected that Da Ming would be so generous, and for the sake of a Mukden province, he would be able to give up such a big place in Mongolia. They originally felt that even if the Ming State compensated in Mongolia, it would be at most two or three times that of Mukden. Unexpectedly, Da Ming actually took out eight or nine times the area of Fengtian Province in exchange. Although the land is in Inner and Outer Mongolia, although most of it is the steppe Gobi, Japan has taken Manchuria north of Mukden, and there are enough rich forests and black soil. The Ming Cabinet made a good estimate, and now the "area" is really irresistible to the "scared" Japan.

Both Toshiaki Oyama and Kenji Dohihara have one feeling: it's a good deal. It's a good deal.

After He Ziguang finished drawing on the map, he took a long breath, threw the pencil, and pushed the map over for them to see. He leaned back in his chair, picked up the tea and drank it, and said lightly:

"Well, regarding land division, the whole bottom line of our country is here. No more. Your country can think about it. ”

Then he set up Erlang's legs, just buried his head in tea, and didn't speak.

The meaning is obvious: the condition is such a condition, if you want to cooperate, don't forget it, you Japan is still guarding hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of volcanic and earthquake islands, let's live, everyone will be scattered.

Toshiaki Oyama and Kenji Dohihara buried their heads in research for a while, and then whispered for a while. Then Toshiaki Oyama looked up and smiled:

"Huh...... Okay, okay, the conditions in your country, I will report to my government when I go back...... Personally, I think there is still a lot of hope for us to work together successfully. ”

He Ziguang also nodded and smiled:

"That way, that's for the best."

……

After sending off the two Japanese envoys, Xiang Xiaoqiang and Shishige Gege stayed in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and discussed with the Foreign Minister for a while.

Although Xiang Xiaoqiang waved very well just now, he always felt a little uneasy afterwards.

He felt that Daming's idea of demarcating the land seemed to put all the vigilance on the Japanese navy. For the Japanese 6th Army, it seemed completely unguarded. In other words, there is too much confidence in the Ming Dynasty's own 6th Army.

Daming said that he also wanted to get the Liaodong Peninsula and the entire Fengtian Province, so that the Liaodong Peninsula would have enough buffers. This was clearly to take advantage of the strategic location of the Liaodong Peninsula to protect the maritime security of Beijing, Tianjin, Tang and Shandong, and to hold the maritime gateway to North China. But for this reason, the Ming Dynasty willingly gave a large area of northern land to Japan.

In this way, although the sea gateway was sealed, the six northern portals were wide open. The Ming Dynasty and Japan will have a long border line of 6 places in the Mongolian region. And along the way, there are grasslands next to the flat river, and there are not many mountain barriers. The only ones that can play a role in protecting the sun are the Nurur Tiger Mountains and the Yanshan Mountain Range. And the closest point to Beijing is less than 100 kilometers.

Perhaps it was the momentum of the Ming army's armored clusters sweeping everything that impressed the Ming government too much, so that the government felt that as long as it was on the Great Plains, its army was invincible?
