"Your Majesty, you asked me to go to Edo to meet the Chinese?" Onodera Jiro hesitated for a moment, but still asked questions. After all, although his son committed suicide by caesarean section, he also died at the hands of the Chinese. His hatred for the Chinese is quite large. Emperor Renxiao sent him to meet the Chinese, wasn't he afraid of messing things up? After all, obtaining the consent of the Chinese was very important to Emperor Renxiao.

"Onodera-kun, I'm sure you'll take care of it. You are also the most suitable person. In the face of national affairs, any personal grievances can be put aside. Emperor Hitoko said. He also has no choice, Onodera Jiro is his most loyal minister, and if it is someone else, he is not at ease. For example, although the four great feudal clans were now loyal to Emperor Hitotaka, it was because of the great pressure of the Edo Shogunate, and they were loyal to the Emperor, and they did not intend to use the Emperor's influence to compete with the Edo Shogunate. Now that the Edo shogunate is about to be destroyed by the Chinese, will they have other thoughts after that? Emperor Hitotaka also had to guard against this.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Please rest assured that I will definitely reach an agreement with the Chinese. Let the Chinese support His Majesty! Onodera Jiro said. He knew exactly what Emperor Hitotaka was worried about, but this was for the Onodera family. It's also a huge opportunity. If it can be grasped, the status of the Onodera family in Japan will rise again.

"Hmm!" Emperor Hitotaka nodded in satisfaction, he knew that Onodera Jiro had already understood what he meant.

The other lords of the four powerful feudal clans were expressionless. However, they are all old and sophisticated guys. The real thoughts will definitely not be revealed. However, it is predictable. They will definitely not be willing to be lonely and send people to Edo to contact the Chinese.

Emperor Renxiao was well aware of this, but he believed that the Chinese would choose him. After all. He was the titular ruler of Japan. If China supports him, it will invest the least amount of power and gain the most. Of course, this is just his personal opinion.

"Your Majesty, then what kind of conditions can we give the Chinese when we go to meet the Chinese this time?" Onodera Jiro asked. After all, if you want to win the support of the Chinese, you must give a little benefit. Otherwise. The Chinese will certainly not agree.

Emperor Renxiao pondered for a moment before saying, "If the Chinese are willing to support me." Japan is willing to pay tribute to China. And, you can go to Guangzhou every year to pay tribute to them. In addition, in order to thank China for defeating the Edo shogunate, Japan can bear China's military expenses this time! ”

"陛xià, isn't this too strict. Claim to the Chinese? How can this work? Shimazu Saiko, the lord of the Satsuma Domain, asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The Chinese defeated the Edo shogunate, and the Tokugawa family's accumulation of two hundred years must have all fallen into their hands. If we pay for their military expenses this time, will it be too much to pay? Mori Keiko, the lord of the Choshu Domain, also said. The wealth accumulated by the Tokugawa family over the past two hundred years is undoubtedly very eye-catching. It's just that they don't get it.

The lords of the Tosa and Hizen domains also expressed their opposition.

"The specific situation, let's wait until Onodera-kun meets the Chinese!" Emperor Hitoko said. Several powerful feudal lords were opposed, which made him even more wary of these guys. Of course, if he can gain the support of the Chinese, these powerful clans will not be able to pose a threat to him. After all, the strength of the Chinese is too strong, and the whole of Japan together is not an opponent of the Chinese, let alone just four strong clans. Emperor Renxiao has put winning the support of the Chinese in the first place.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Onodera Jiro nodded.

After the meeting, Onodera Jiro went home to pack up a little and immediately set off for Edo. At the same time, the lords of the four powerful clans also secretly sent henchmen to Edo to establish relations with the Chinese. Clear-sighted people know that the fate of Japan is now dominated by the Chinese. Only with the support of the Chinese will they be able to maintain the rule of the viscount and even gain more benefits.

When Onodera Jiro rushed to Edo, information came from Edo one after another. In particular, the news of the decisive battle between the Chinese* army and the shogunate army on the Kanto Plain and the victory of the light yì shocked Emperor Hitoko and the feudal lords of the four powerful domains. Emperor Hitotaka sent a special horse to inform Onodera Jiro that no matter what the cost, he had to gain the support of the Chinese. After the destruction of the Edo shogunate by the Chinese* army, in fact the rulers of Japan had changed. It is absolutely impossible for Emperor Renxiao to seize power in Japan without the support of the Chinese.

After the defeat of the main Japanese army at Mt. Tsukuba, the Chinese* army did not take the opportunity to expand into the periphery, but strengthened its control over the Kanto Plain and the Edo area. At present, China's forces in Japan, in addition to the 1st Fleet, are only three marine brigades. Compared with Japan, which has an area of more than 300,000 square kilometers, these three marine brigades are too weak. It will not be until the arrival of the next two infantry corps that the Chinese* army will move on to the next step. In addition, after the destruction of the Tokugawa shogunate, a large amount of loot was obtained, and it was necessary to transport it back to Japan. That's a treasure of gold and silver worth 150 million dollars! Together with the 10 million Chinese dollars of gold and silver that he had previously obtained in Edo, the total was 160 million Chinese dollars.

In addition to this, Lieutenant General Sun Hao, the commander of the Chinese* army, ordered to dig three feet into the ground and plunder more wealth from the Japanese nobles, wealthy families, and merchants. The Kanto Plain has always been one of the richest regions in Japan, and there are many wealthy people here. Especially those feudal lords, large and small, are all wealthy. Japan is poor, but that means 99 percent of Japanese civilians. The remaining 1 percent of the aristocracy, who were also wealthy, controlled most of Japan's wealth. It's just that now all this wealth belongs to China.

The Chinese* army wantonly harvested wealth in the Kwantung Plain, and achieved very good results. More than 40 million gold and silver treasures totaled as trophies for the Chinese* army. Of course, arson robbery, this is not a good thing. It's just that when he went to Japan, the Chinese emperor Long Yufei specially instructed that when the Chinese* army was in Japan, it could not abide by military discipline. What does this mean? Any actions of the Chinese* army in Japan, as long as they do not betray the country, will not be held accountable. This is a great thing for the soldiers who have fought hard. Without the restraint of military discipline, where can these hot-blooded men still hold back?

On the Edo and Kanto Plains, the Japanese who did not have time to flee were encountered. Not only was his property robbed, but he couldn't even keep his wife and daughter. Although, when Long Yufei gave such an order, the civilian faction raised opposing opinions. But Long Yufei is still stubborn, so that the civilian faction can only compromise.

Why did Long Yufei hate the Japanese so much, others did not feel it. They only know that since the emperor Long Yufei hates the Japanese, then they naturally don't have to give the Japanese any good looks.

On July 29, the emperor's envoy, the patriarch of the Onodera family, Onodera Jiro, arrived in Edo. Before they could reach Edo, they were disarmed by the vigilant Chinese* army. After Onodera Jiro explained his intentions, he was sent to the headquarters of the Chinese* army in Edo, where he met with the commander of the Chinese* army, Lieutenant General Sun Hao.

"Your Excellency General, hello, I'm Jiro Onodera, and I'm here to thank you and the warriors from China on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor!" When Onodera Jiro saw Lieutenant General Sun Hao, his face was full of smiles. And as soon as he opened his mouth, it was pure Chinese, so that Lieutenant General Sun Hao didn't even need to prepare a translator here. There are many people in the elite class of the Japanese who know Chinese. Although Onodera Jiro is full of hatred for the Chinese, if he can, he would even like to break the Chinese general in front of him into pieces. However, for the sake of the country and his family, he can only bury his hatred deep in his heart.

"What? Thanks to us? Lieutenant General Sun Hao was a little confused. Could it be that these Japanese were kicked in the head by a donkey? The Chinese* army invaded Japan, killed so many Japanese, and robbed more than 200 million Chinese dollars of wealth from Japan. In addition, the officers and men of the Chinese* army are still burning, killing, looting and plundering in the Kwantung Plain. But this Japanese not only did not hate them, but was grateful to them. It's just so weird.

"General, the Edo shogunate has always not followed the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, but has bullied the Emperor. Emperor Hitotaka had long had the heart to crusade against the Edo shogunate. It's just that the Edo shogunate is too powerful, and His Majesty the Emperor is powerless. Now, the Heavenly Soldiers have descended and destroyed the Edo Shogunate, and of course His Majesty the Emperor has to thank the Shogun and the warriors of China! Onodera Jiro said.

Only then did Lieutenant General Sun Hao figure out what Onodera Jiro meant. However, looking at this posture, Emperor Renxiao seems to be ready to pick up the bargain! However, China's cheapness is not something that these Japanese can pick up.

"Go back and tell your emperor. The reason why we destroyed the Edo shogunate was entirely because he was disrespectful to the empire. The same is true of the emperor in Kyoto. I give you a choice, surrender to the Empire. Otherwise, once the Imperial army arrives in Kyoto, all that awaits you is destruction! Lieutenant General Sun Hao said sternly. (To be continued......)
