Early the next morning, Shen Wanqing and a comrade went out, and in the evening, only Shen Wanqing came back. As soon as she came back, she saw Lin Yuan coming up to her, and asked anxiously, "How is it?" ? Are things going well?"

Shen Wanqing smiled and said: "It couldn't have been smoother. We sent Shang Tai away from his home without any effort. Now he is on the passenger ship. If there is no accident, we will be able to contact him tomorrow morning." How are our people, is today's negotiation going well?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "The negotiations have not made any progress. I heard that the Japanese have begun to gradually withdraw their troops from North Korea. If I were the emperor, as long as I give an order, the Japanese in the entire North Korea will become our prisoners. But the Qing Dynasty Ting just won't give this order."

Shen Wanqing said: "Why don't we go to Beijing and you come to be the emperor. It would be great to be the emperor. Isn't it every man's dream to have 3000 beauties in the harem?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said nothing, Shen Wanqing asked suddenly: "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Lin Yuan said, "I don't have one, what about you?"

Shen Wanqing said, "Me neither."

After talking, the two of them didn't speak, and fell silent for a while, Shen Wanqing said: "What do you plan to do in the next negotiation?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I plan to make concessions to Ito Hirobumi."

Shen Wanqing raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "How can you give in to the Japanese?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Who said that you can't take advantage if you make concessions?"

Before the meeting the next day, Lin Yuan had a conversation with the Beijing ship, and when he learned that Shang Tai had arrived at the Beijing ship, Lin Yuan felt much more at ease.

At ten o'clock, a new round of negotiations began again. Both sides were tired. Outside the window, Japanese people shouted slogans and cursed at the Chinese.

Lin Yuan spoke first: "Mr. Ito, we can't delay our negotiations any longer. I can't afford to blame the superiors."

Ito Hirobumi spread his hands and smiled wryly, "Two hundred million taels of silver, such a large sum of money, we really can't afford it."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Well, let's make concessions. We don't want you to cede Okinawa, and we don't need to compensate for military expenses. The Japanese army only needs to withdraw from North Korea, and recognize China as the suzerain of North Korea, and retain the most-favored-nation treatment and extraterritorial rights. We can sign the contract."

Ito Hirobumi was overjoyed, but as a politician who is used to big storms, it is the most basic quality to show his emotions and anger. He said: "We cannot agree to the provision of extraterritoriality. The Chinese who come to Japan to commit crimes must not be good in China." , We help your country to punish these tyrants, wouldn't we be doing your country a great favor."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "That's fine, so let's do it, we've made the decision in principle, and we'll finalize the rest of the details."

Ito Hirobumi smiled and said, "Well, we've made a decision like this. If there are no problems, we can sign the peace treaty tomorrow."

Ito Hirobumi felt relieved, and this Lin Yuan finally gave in. What he didn't expect was that Okinawa County of their Great Japanese Empire was falling into the hands of the Chinese step by step.

After the Beijing ship received Shangtai, it set off immediately to the waters near the Ryukyu Islands. The Ryukyu Islands are composed of the Yaeyama Islands, the Miyako Islands, and the Okinawa Islands from west to east. Among them, Shuri on the Okinawa Islands was the core area ruled by the Ryukyu Kingdom. , so Japan's main military and political institutions are located in Shuri.

In the operation conference room of the Beijing warship, Han Mingguang, the captain of the Peking warship, was presiding over the meeting. Han Mingguang said: "First of all, let me introduce the current deployment of Japanese troops in Okinawa. Since Japan has occupied Ryukyu for some time, and Ryukyu's resistance force is not very strong, so the Japanese army did not deploy a very strong combat force. According to our early reconnaissance, the navy stationed in Okinawa is mainly stationed in the Naha military port. There are sixteen gunboats with combat power, all of which are Old-fashioned gunboats, with a maximum displacement of no more than 500 tons and powered by sails, are no match for us at all."

Han Mingguang paused, and then said: "Next is the army's strength. There is only one regiment stationed in Okinawa, with less than 1000 people, and all of them are stationed in Okinawa Island. The Japanese soldiers stationed on Okinawa Island are all distributed around the three main cities of Naha, Shuri and Motobu, and their combat effectiveness is very weak.”

Han Mingguang added: "Let me introduce our strength again. This time, the problem of our insufficient land force will be alleviated to a certain extent. As for the reason, King Shangtai will introduce it next."

As a vassal state of China, Ryukyu has the same culture as China. In the Kingdom of Ryukyu, official documents are written in Chinese characters. Since the Ming Dynasty, Ryukyu has adopted Chinese reign names until Ryukyu was occupied by the Japanese.Shangtai has been familiar with Chinese cultural classics since he was a child. He not only speaks Chinese fluently, but also has a good impression of the Chinese people.

Shang Tai said: "Our Ryukyu has been a part of China since ancient times. The Japanese slaves occupied our land and home. We Ryukyu subjects have always hoped that the central government can send troops to Ryukyu to save the people of Ryukyu from fire and water, and put the people of Ryukyu on the mat. , today we finally waited for this day." As he spoke, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Han Mingguang smiled and said: "Comrade King, let's not talk about these things, let's talk about the situation in your country."

Shang Tai quickly said: "Although I am under house arrest in Japan, I can always find out some domestic news. The Japanese are rampant in Ryukyu, and the people have long complained. In Ryukyu, some of the police and army are composed of Ryukyu people. But when we send troops, these people will definitely be the first to stand up and kill those Japanese slaves."

Han Mingguang asked: "Comrade King, how many of these people are there?"

Shang Tai said: "The police force is less than 500 people, and the army is probably more than 1000 people."

Han Mingguang said with a smile: "That's almost it, let me announce the battle plan: In the first stage, our carrier-based aircraft force will attack the Japanese warships in Naha Naha Port; in the second stage, some of our land battles will The team attacked the Japanese garrison near Naha. Note that this is just a feint attack. The real purpose is to attract the garrison in Shuri. The third stage is to instigate an uprising in Shuri. For this, we must look at Comrade King’s call Strong!"

Shang Tai said proudly: "Please rest assured that the central government, I can definitely call on the Ryukyu people to kill Japanese slaves!"

China's East China Sea is like a piece of beautiful blue silk, and Ryukyu is like a pearl held on a piece of silk. On this day, the residents of the Ryukyu Kingdom, just like in the past, scolded the domineering Japanese behind their backs. , The time to drive away the Japanese will soon come.
