Seeing that the representatives of the ministers of various countries present had nothing to say, the representatives of the Japanese countries were anxious and reprimanded on the spot, saying that the revival army had attacked from behind and took advantage of the danger of others to fall into the well, and this kind of behavior was despicable and shameless, and was despised by the whole world, and they hoped that all countries would uphold justice for the Japanese countries.

Wang Bo didn't look at the representatives of the Japanese state, and said slowly and logically, war is unscrupulous, what is despicable, shameless, and despicable, and the person who said this is simply a child, go back and eat milk for a few more years, and then think about what war is called when he grows up. Besides, I am also following the practice of your Japanese country, didn't the warships of the Beiyang Naval Division suffer a sneak attack from the Japanese country?

The representative of the Wa Kingdom was dumbfounded, this was indeed the case, and he was speechless for a while.

Wang Bo smiled faintly, and changed the topic, saying that his scientific research room has developed several new weapons, I wonder if the company representatives are interested in taking a look? Moreover, he intends to sell! He also expressed his willingness to strengthen cooperation with other countries in the research and development of certain weapons!

As soon as these words came out, the representatives of the ministers of various countries immediately left behind the grief-stricken representatives of the Japanese state, who had always wanted to buy advanced weapons from the Fuxing Army, but Wang Bo did not let go, and now he finally relented and planned to sell them, and was willing to cooperate in the research and development of weapons, so everyone naturally expressed great interest.

The ministers and representatives of various countries all followed Wang Bo out of the conference room, and only the representatives of the Japanese state who were stunned on the spot were left.

Because the Fuxing Army sent the Pacific Fleet to forcibly intervene, the Japanese Navy was completely wiped out, and the mainland was also bombed, but the Chaoxian Japanese Route Army was defeated and retreated.

The Manchu Dynasty was even more unbearable than Adou, who couldn't be supported, the Revival Army helped so much, and the Wa Road Army could hardly get supplies from the sea, and they couldn't even beat it, and the seemingly gorgeous fig coat on the surface of the Manchu Dynasty was completely seen through by the whole world.

In order to preserve his strength, Li Hongzhang ordered the disabled Beiyang Naval Division to hide in Weihaiwei Harbor and not to patrol the sea, and now the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, the Tuowan Strait, the Chaoxian Strait, and other surrounding waters are all cruising and cruising by the Pacific Fleet of the Renaissance Army.

From time to time, the Wa mainland was bombed by the Pacific Fleet of the Revival Army, and they were so miserable that they had to contact the Manchu Dynasty to prepare for a truce, and on the other hand, they sought England and the United States to mediate between them and the Fuxing Army.

For the sake of their own interests, the great powers such as England, the United States, and Tsarist Russia did not want to revive the military and political axe too strongly, and this Japanese dog could not abandon it, so he agreed to intervene.

Wang Bo also knew that he would accept it when he saw it, and the restless vicious dog of the Wa Kingdom was disabled, and he couldn't come out to bite people for the time being, and then he had to target the country of China, and it was time to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty.

He proposed that it was okay to collect troops, but the Japanese state must hand over the Ryukyu Islands, a vassal state of China, and cede Kyushu Island and all the islands south of it, and compensate 500 million taels of silver for military expenses.

With such harsh conditions, the Wa Kingdom naturally refused to agree.

If you don't agree, then keep bombing! We will continue to bomb Tokyo, the capital of the Japanese Kingdom!

While tearfully begging for help from the foreign powers, the Japanese army on the Yalu River stepped up its attack on the Qing army and forced the Manchu Dynasty to surrender and negotiate peace.

At this time, within the Manchu Dynasty, the main peace faction had gained the upper hand and was engaged in surrender activities on a large scale.

Soon after, the Japanese army broke through the defense line of the Yalu River, which was heavily guarded by the Qing army, and occupied Phoenix, Xiuyan, Haicheng and other places.

From January 17, 1895, the Qing army launched four battles to recover Haicheng, but due to poor command, they were all repelled by the Japanese army.

On February 28, the Japanese army took advantage of the victory to pursue, attacked from Haicheng by separate routes, captured Niuzhuang on March 4, took Yingkou without a fight on the 7th, and captured Tianzhuangtai on the 9th. In just ten days, more than 100 battalions and more than 60,000 troops of the Qing Dynasty retreated from the east bank of the Liao River.

The war on land was advancing all the way, but there was not a single ship or board on the sea, and the land army had completed the connection with the mainland and was divided by the Pacific Fleet of the Revival Army cruising in the Chaoxian Strait.

However, the Manchu Dynasty was so useless that it couldn't even resist this, and it was really corrupt and incompetent to the bone marrow. The Qing army lost ground one after another, first defeated in Korea, and then defeated in Liaodong, and the Beiyang Naval Division was disabled, and they shrank in Weihaiwei Port and did not dare to come out. The front has been completely defeated, and Beijing and Tianjin are in danger. Faced with this situation, the Manchu dynasty was terrified and determined to beg for peace.

The Wakuni finally breathed a sigh of relief, because during this period of time, the mainland was constantly bombed by the Pacific Fleet of the Renaissance Army in major coastal cities, and almost all the industrial facilities in the capital Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe, Hiroshima, and other major industrial cities were bombed.

They have always thought that since they can't win the Fuxing Army, then the incompetent Manchu Dynasty can always be defeated, as long as they force it to surrender and get some war dividends from it, then this war of "gambling on the fortune of the country" will not be fruitless and fruitless. Now that it has finally come to an end, the Manchu Dynasty has finally begged for peace.

On the one hand, the Wa State hurriedly negotiated peace with the Manchu Dynasty, and on the other hand, once again asked England, the United States and other powers to mediate the war with the Fuxing Army.

On March 19, 1895, Li Hongzhang was sent by the Manchu Dynasty in the name of "Minister First and Plenipotentiary" to negotiate peace with the Japanese Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi.

At the negotiating table, with the full support of the United States, the Japanese state blackmailed and intimidated Li Hongzhang and coerced him to sign a clause that had already been drawn up.

On April 17, 1894, at the urging of the Manchu Dynasty, Li Hongzhang reluctantly signed the treaty under the pressure of the United States and the Japanese state.

The peace treaty signed this time is known as the "Treaty of Shimonoseki", as long as the content is:

To admit the "complete independence and autonomy" of Chaoxian is to recognize the control of Chaoxian by the Japanese State;

ceded the Liaodong Peninsula, Daiwan Island and all affiliated islands, the Penghu Islands and other places to the Japanese state;

indemnity: 200 million taels of silver for the military expenses of the Japanese state;

Shashi, Chongqing, Suzhou, and Hangzhou were opened as treaty ports, and the Japanese government could send consular officers to be stationed at the above ports, and Japanese ships could sail into the above ports to take passengers and load goods;

The Japanese capitalists were allowed to set up various factories in the treaty ports of China;

The subjects of the Wa Kingdom could freely engage in the manufacture of various crafts in the treaty port cities of China, and import all kinds of machinery at will, and their products were exempted from all miscellaneous taxes, and they enjoyed the convenience of setting up warehouses and inventories in the interior;

After the ratification of the exchange of this treaty, the two countries returned all the prisoners of war, and the Manchu government was not allowed to punish the prisoners of war who surrendered to the enemy, immediately released the spies who served the Japanese army, and pardoned all traitors who served the Japanese army in the war, and exempted them from prosecution.

The Treaty of Shimonoseki was the most serious unequal treaty since the Treaty of Nanjing, and as soon as it was reported, the people of the country wept bitterly and wept bitterly, scolding the Manchu Dynasty for corruption and incompetence, and even organized groups to petition in Guangdong, asking Wang Bo, commander-in-chief of the Renaissance Army, to wave his army to attack the Japanese state and destroy all the treaties signed.

While comforting the visiting petitioners, Wang Bo secretly ordered the Renaissance Army to start a move, first quickly taking over Guangxi, and then sending a fleet to escort the land troops to the bay to expel all the Japanese in Taiwan.

Immediately afterwards, he ordered the Pacific Fleet to wantonly bomb Tokyo, the capital of the Japanese state, to force the Japanese to agree to the previous request for a peace treaty.

The area around Tokyo, the capital of the Japanese state, was bombed to the ground, and if an armistice and peace treaty were not reached with the Renaissance Army as soon as possible, I am afraid that the mainland would be blown up. I had to ask England, the United States and other countries to help mediate again.

However, this time, England and other countries said that they could not do anything about it, because during the previous negotiations between the Wa State and the Manchu Dynasty, the Wa State actually secretly colluded with the United States, set aside England and other countries, and signed a contract with the Manchu Dynasty on their own, resulting in England and other countries not being able to benefit, so they were no longer willing to come forward to help.

The Japanese had no choice but to ask the United States, and then appoint Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito as Minister Plenipotentiary, accompanied by the representative of the United States, to Guangzhou to negotiate peace talks.

It didn't take long for Ito to finally meet the person he was negotiating with, Wang Bo, the commander-in-chief of the Renaissance Army.

Before he could bow ninety degrees, Wang Bo stretched out his hand to stop him, threw a treaty that had been prepared on the table in front of Ito Hirobumi, and said coldly: "I am very busy, and my time is limited, so I don't need to say anything else about etiquette and nonsense." Your Excellency Prime Minister, take a look at this treaty, there are only two choices before you, yes or no! ”

Ito Hirobumi was stunned on the spot, the last sentence was so familiar, it was exactly what he had said with Li Hongzhang, the plenipotentiary minister sent by the Manchu political axe, and he didn't think about it, and he was returned by a young man today.

He finally understood what kind of grievance and grief Li Hongzhang felt at that time. At this moment, he suddenly grew much older, and became like a lonely old man who was about to go west.

After a long time, Ito Hirobumi came back to his senses and pleaded, "Aren't you allowed to argue?" ”

Wang Bo said: "If you like to say it, just say it, anyway, the treaty is so decided, and not a single punctuation mark is allowed to be changed!" ”

With Li Hongzhang's previous experience, Ito Hirofumi knew that it was useless to say anything at the moment, so he had to pick up the peace agreement on the table and look at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more sad and indignant he became, and his hands holding the peace treaty could not help but tremble.

The main contents of the peace treaty are:

From the date of signing this peace treaty, the Japanese state shall immediately evacuate all the Japanese people in Chaoxian and shall not appear in the territory of Chaoxian again;

The Wa Kingdom returned all the occupied Ryukyu Islands and affiliated islands to the Ryukyu King and compensated all the people of the Ryukyus for their losses;

The Wakoku Kingdom ceded Kyushu Island and its affiliated islands to the Renaissance Army. Hokkaido was ceded to Russia, and the islands of Kochi, Ehime, Tokushima, and Kagawa were ceded to England, France, Germany, and Italy respectively;

indemnity: 400 million taels of silver for the revival of the military and political axes;

Tokyo, Chiba, Yokohama, Kobe, Kyoto, Osaka, and Nagoya will be opened as treaty ports, and consular officers can be stationed at the ports where consular officers can be stationed, and ships of the Fuxing Army and Government can sail into the above ports to take passengers and load cargo;

Allowing the Fuxing Army and the Government to set up various factories in the treaty ports of the Japanese State;

The people of the revival of the military and political axes can freely engage in the manufacture of various crafts in the treaty port cities of the Japanese state, and import all kinds of machinery at will, and their products are exempt from all miscellaneous taxes, and enjoy the convenience of setting up warehouses in the interior;

Destroy all fortress batteries along the coast of the Japanese state, prohibit the Japanese state from owning a navy for ten years, and the remaining warships that originally belonged to the combined fleet must be dismantled or sold.

These treaties are almost a copy of the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" that has just been signed, and they are even more than that, which must have been deliberately done by the hateful young commander in front of him! (To be continued.) )
