Chapter 30 Let Japan cede territory and pay compensation

Lin Yuan asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Shen Wanqing also didn't understand why she couldn't help but get angry when she heard his words like this.

Shen Wanqing said: "Nothing? Didn't you say you fell in love with a girl? I'm just surprised!"

Lin Yuan said: "How can I say that I fell in love with her, she is the princess of the Ryukyu Kingdom."

Shen Wanqing became even more jealous, and said, "Hi, princess, you are going to be a son-in-law!"

Lin Yuan quickly explained: "I didn't mean that, I mean, we can use their strength to take Ryukyu over. Ryukyu is now Okinawa Prefecture in Japan. We occupy Ryukyu. On the one hand, there is a place for development, on the other hand He taught the little devil a hard lesson."

Shen Wanqing felt embarrassed for a while, and said, "So that's what you meant?" After she finished speaking, she became angry with herself. When she was in the training base, she got the highest score in the subject of emotional control. She didn't expect to be so good today Get angry easily.

Shen Wanqing said, "Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Lin Yuan said: "I plan to send their family out of Japan to our people, but I also know that their family must be under the strict surveillance of the Japanese, so I want you to think of a way, you agents Isn't he good at kidnapping and rescue?"

Shen Wanqing thought for a while and said, "I have a way to help them leave Japan, but I need to meet them first, you can make arrangements for me."

Seeing her confident appearance, Lin Yuan felt very happy, and couldn't help but said, "I knew it, Wan Qing, you have the best way!"

Shen Wanqing's pretty face couldn't help but blush, she lowered her head and started to eat. After a while, the two of them finished their meal and started to go about their business.

According to the arrangement of the Japanese side, the afternoon is for sightseeing. Lin Yuan and the others naturally have no time, so only Fade Chen went alone. Originally, Lin Yuan brought Fade Chen with him in the hope that he could play a role in security, but after arriving in Japan Only then did I realize that for security work, the real experts are Zhang Hua, Shen Wanqing and the others. Fade Chen doesn’t know anything at all. The reporter Tang Fan can still go out to gather stories and record precious historical images, so Fade Chen has completely become a an idler.

Fortunately, Fade Chen knew Japanese, so he walked around Maguan and looked at the scenery without being too bored.The Japanese government is worried that some people will act violently, so there are police along the way to maintain order.

As the entourage, Fade Chen followed Li Hongzhang's sedan chair on foot. Fade Chen looked at the Japanese people around him curiously, and suddenly found that something was wrong with a young man.

The others stood and watched, but this man followed the sedan chair, and he only looked at Li Hongzhang's sedan chair. His hands were tucked into his sleeves, as if he was hiding something. When the sedan chair turned a corner, Suddenly he quickened his pace and squeezed through the crowd.

The instinct developed on the battlefield allowed Fade Chen to rush towards him, but after all, the distance was too far, and there were other people in between, so Fade Chen was still a step slower. That person rushed to the side of Li Hongzhang's sedan chair first, his hands from the sleeve It was drawn out, and a pistol was already in his hand. He aimed at the sedan chair and pulled the trigger. After a gunshot, Fade Chen knocked away the people in front and rushed in front of him. Before the second shot was fired, Fade Chen was shot. Knocked down to the ground.

The people around also realized that there are assassins!When the people heard the gunshots, they ran away screaming. The police rushed up and quickly subdued the assassin. Li Hongzhang's entourage also opened the car curtain to check on Li Hongzhang's situation. Li Hongzhang was unconscious with blood on his face.

Then Li Hongzhang was sent to the hospital. It was the same as what happened in history. Li Hongzhang was hit by a bullet an inch below his left eye, but did not hurt his life. member, the extreme dissatisfaction with the Chinese made him want to assassinate Li Hongzhang.

When Ito Hirobumi heard this, he was furious, and said angrily: "This incident is more serious than the defeat of one or two divisions on the battlefield!" Japan was already at a disadvantage in the Korean battlefield, and the combined fleet was controlled by mysterious ships. Without command of the sea, the Qing court could send large troops to attack the Japanese army in North Korea anytime and anywhere!But he saw that the Qing court seemed to be unaware of this situation, so he wanted to pretend to be tough and force the Qing court to reach a contract that was beneficial to Japan, but such an incident happened, which made Japan extremely passive in the negotiation.

After Lin Yuan heard about this incident, he was startled and thought: "The assassination of Li Hongzhang did not expect to happen now, but I can use this incident to make some fuss."

Lin Yuan then found Li Jingfang, who was accompanying Li Hongzhang in the hospital. After all, he was also a person who had experienced great storms, so he was not too panicked when his adoptive father was assassinated.

Lin Yuan walked over and said, "Master Li, how is Master Zhongtang?"

Li Jingfang was also full of respect for this mysterious Lin Yuan, and he replied: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for caring about my father. My father is fine now."

Lin Yuan asked: "Master Li, the ancient sages and sages said: 'The loyal are the most selfless.' No one among the sages has ever forgotten the country because of their own affairs. I wonder what Master Li thinks about the following negotiations?"

Li Jingfang said: "As soon as this matter happened, the imperial court would definitely appoint me as the negotiating minister, but I have little talent and learning, I am afraid it will be difficult to use it, and I am not sure about the next negotiation."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty Li might as well leave this matter to the subordinates, and ensure that the results of the negotiations will satisfy the Lafayette and His Majesty!"

Li Jingfang couldn't believe that this Lin Yuan had such ability, so he couldn't help frowning, Lin Yuan whispered something in his ear, Li Jingfang was overjoyed when he heard the words, he couldn't help clapping his hands and said: "If this is the case, it would be great!"

Li Jing recommended Lin Yuan to the Qing court, so the Qing court specially gave Lin Yuan an imperial envoy.At nine o'clock the next morning, under Lin Yuan's suggestion, the second round of negotiations started on time. This time, Lin Yuan showed an aggressive posture as soon as he came up. Lin Yuan said, "Master Ito, the murderer of Li Zhongtang's assassination is unknown. Have you been apprehended!"

Ito Hirobumi knew that he was wrong, and said: "Master Lin, we have arrested the murderer, please rest assured, we will definitely punish the murderer severely!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "I also believe that your country will handle it impartially. We can continue the negotiation yesterday. According to the meaning of our Majesty, since the two sides have ceased war in North Korea, there is no need to worry about the details of the armistice agreement. My Qing Dynasty has always ruled the world with filial piety, the Holy Majesty is a filial son, November [-]th is the [-]th birthday of our Empress Dowager, the Holy Majesty decided to sign the peace treaty as soon as possible."

Hirobumi Ito didn't expect Hirobumi Lin to change so quickly, and he threw out the peace agreement today. I felt a little caught off guard. Before Hirobumi Ito could speak, Lin Yuan immediately took out a document, handed it to Hirobumi Ito, and said: "This is the contract we drafted, I hope Mr. Ito will read it."

When Ito Hirobumi opened the agreement, his expression changed drastically!Because the content of the peace treaty is really shameful!

Paragraph [-]: Japan recognizes China as the suzerain of Korea, and after Japan occupied Korea, the gift of tribute to China that Korea lacked will be repaid together.

Paragraph [-]: Japan will manage the rights of the following places and transfer all the forts, weapons, factories and all public objects in the places to China forever.

The following places are: Ryukyu Islands.That is, all islands from 120 degrees east longitude to 120 degrees nine degrees, and from 23 degrees to 28 degrees north latitude.

Lin Yuan wrote at the beginning of this article: Japan ceded the Ryukyu Islands to China. Later, Lin Yuan found the original text of the Treaty of Shimonoseki and copied the above words. Of course, the ceded land became Japan.

Item [-]: Japan will hand over [-] million taels of Kuping silver to China as compensation for military expenses. The following is the specific compensation schedule.

Paragraph [-]: In trade, if Japan gives a certain preferential treatment to a third country, China will be deemed to have it automatically (that is, Japan will give China the most-favored-nation treatment).

Paragraph [-]: If a Chinese violates the law in Japan, the Japanese government has no right to subpoena, arrest, or interrogate, and must hand it over to the Chinese Embassy in Japan (that is, the Chinese enjoy extraterritoriality).

After Ito Hirobumi finished reading the contract, he couldn't care less about being gentle. He patted the document on the table again and said angrily, "Don't you remember your failure in Pyongyang?"
