Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

After reading the telegram, Lin Yuan sneered and said, "Sure enough, it's a strategy to slow down the troops. It's not what we expected. Fortunately, our troops didn't relax their combat preparations."

At this time, Shen Wanqing took out another document and said, "This is another telegram, an open letter from the Emperor to you."

Lin Yuan smiled as he received the letter: "An open letter from the emperor? This is really new." Lin Yuan opened the file as he spoke, and saw it said: "I have heard for a long time that China is a country of etiquette, and the people all admire honesty. Don't be a hypocrite, Lin Gongyuan is the leader of China, he should be the leader of integrity, do you think so? I heard the rumors in the street, saying that my brother Prince Zairen wants to rebel against the Japanese Empire and submit to China. If this is true Also, Lin Gongyuan, why don't you invite my younger brother to show up and speak face to face?"

After reading the letter, Lin Yuan casually threw it on the table, and said dumbfoundedly: "It's still written in classical Chinese, does the Emperor of Japan still think that we are being ruled by the Qing court?"

Shen Wanqing said: "Emperor Meiji's tactic is very simple, that is, let Prince Zairen stand up in person and tell the whole world that he wants to submit to us and betray the Japanese Empire. If we can't let Prince Zairen stand up, then Zairen The prince came to us to use the strategy of slowing down the army, and all the work we did before was in vain."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "That's right, can we find a way to make Prince Zai Ren say those words, or disguise a person as Prince Zai Ren, what do you think?"

Shen Wanqing said: "If Prince Zairen is unwilling, we can't let him say those words, so this method will not work. As for the latter method, although it is feasible, it is a fake after all. If it is found out, we will It would ruin your reputation.”

Lin Yuan said: "This matter is very important. If we really find a Prince Zairen, journalists from all over the world will definitely try their best to verify his identity, so the possibility of being exposed is extremely high. We can't use this method. .”

Shen Wanqing asked: "Then what should we do?"

Lin Yuan shook his head silently, and said, "I don't have a good solution either."

Shen Wanqing said: "Why don't we let Prince Zairen go, after so many days, our work of instigation of rebellion has achieved miraculous results, so it may not be very meaningful to make a fuss about Prince Zairen."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, and said: "It seems that this is the only way to go. We are still going to fight the Japanese in a down-to-earth manner. After defeating Wonsan, the troops will be divided into three groups. One will go to the Yuanping Railway to fight Pyongyang, and the other will go to Yuanjing. Hit Wangjing by railway, go all the way south to Busan, and attack the Japanese mainland! But we don’t have to release Prince Zairen, just take him as a prisoner of war and send him to a prisoner of war camp.”

At this moment, an attendant came in from outside and said, "Shuai Lin, Director Shen, that Japanese man named Matsumoto Yunqing has come and said he has something important to see you."

Lin Yuan wasn't in a good mood, so he said, "Let's just say I'm out for research, no see."

The attendant turned and left, and came back soon, and said: "Shuai Lin, you should go and see him, he said that he will not leave until he sees you today, and he also said that if you don't come back tonight, he will be in the reception room." Hit the floor."

Lin Yuan sneered: "If he wants to sleep on the floor, let him do it, don't give him a sip of water, don't give him a grain of rice, let him freeze and starve all night in the reception room."

The attendant smiled helplessly: "Shuai Lin, he has a lot of food in his bag. In my opinion, it's no problem to stay here for three to five days."

Lin Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this, and said, "I'll go to the reception room to meet him." Then he turned to Shen Wanqing and said, "Wanqing, you go back first."

Lin Yuan then followed the attendants to the reception room, and as soon as he entered the reception room, he saw Matsumoto Yunqing lying on the table in the reception room, with his legs crossed and humming a little song. Lin Yuan was annoyed when he saw Matsumoto Yunqing like this He pointed at Matsumoto Yunqing and said, "Matsumoto Yunqing, look at your current morality, do you look half like a diplomat? You look like a rascal."

Matsumoto Yunqing smiled and said: "Mr. Lin Yuan, if you want to say that you are a rogue, you seem to be even more rogue than me. Which of your methods of dealing with us, Japan and Western countries, can be separated from the word rogue?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, get off the table, and tell me if you have anything to say."

Matsumoto Yunqing lay on the table and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin Yuan, don't Chinese people pay attention to respecting the old and loving the young? My daughter is about the same age as your wife. Should you help me?"

Lin Yuan was laughed out of anger again, and went to help Matsumoto Yunqing up, then pulled the chair and sat opposite Matsumoto Yunqing, and said, "Can we talk about something now?"

Matsumoto Yunqing said with a smile: "I believe you have also seen the power-on of our Japanese government. Our Prince Zairen used the strategy of delaying the army, but it was calculated by you. I am here this time to ask you to return Prince Zairen to you. us."

Lin Yuan sneered and said, "Give it back to you? He came to us to use tricks, so we will naturally detain him as a prisoner of war."

Matsumoto Yunqing smiled and said: "Shuai Lin, you are very knowledgeable, you don't know about the 'Civil Fortress Change' in Chinese history, do you?"

Lin Yuan said: "Matsumoto Yunqing, I don't want to talk about history with you today."

Matsumoto Yunqing said with a smile, "Shuai Lin must have been busy with military affairs and forgot about the 'Civil Fort Change'. That's okay, then I'll help you recall it. It was in the orthodox 14th year of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty..."

Lin Yuan coughed lightly and said, "Ming Yingzong led his troops to attack Wala, and was defeated and captured. I know this."

Matsumoto Yunqing said: "Then do you know what happened to Ming Yingzong?"

Lin Yuan said: "Ming Yingzong was released after being captured by Wala for a few months, and returned to Beijing. He was imprisoned by Zhu Qiyu, the Ming Dynasty Zong, for seven years, and then regained the throne after the 'Change of Seizing the Gate'. What do you mean by these things?"

Matsumoto Yunqing said: "You said why did the leader of Wala release Ming Yingzong first?"

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said: "You and I have made such a big detour, do you want to say: I captured Prince Zairen just like Wala captured Ming Yingzong, and Wala released Ming Yingzong because he kept Ming Yingzong's roots. It's useless, and it's useless for me to keep Prince Zai Ren, right?"

Matsumoto Yunqing smiled and said: "Of course! If you take Prince Zain as a prisoner of war, our country will definitely share the same hatred, and it will be detrimental to your China at that time, so it is better to release Prince Zain. If you release Prince Zain, I will have a generous gift gift."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Great gift, what kind of gift? I am no longer under the Qing court. At that time, I needed real money for development and construction, but now I have everything. What kind of gift can you give me? "

Matsumoto Yunqing smiled and said, "I can give you someone, someone you dream of."
