The Japanese navy's Lushun fleet retreated from Dingzhou and Nanpu to the port of Incheon in an attempt to assist the Korean army and the Japanese army in defending Seoul. Song Biao was not polite and continued to send troops south to occupy Kaesong and Yeoncheon, and actively deployed troops to surround Seoul.

The rout of the Japanese army exceeded everyone's expectations. The European and American powers did not expect it at all. The Japanese government and the Japanese army did not expect that all the media in China were reporting on the victory of the Northeast Army, while Japan blocked the news. Even though

Reports of defeat can only use words such as "evacuated", "killed", "broken", and "damaged", and it is strictly forbidden to report specific numbers of annihilations.

No matter how much the Japanese government tried to cover up this huge defeat that could almost destroy the self-esteem of the entire nation, the whole world knew after all that Song Biao was indeed the god general of Asia, and now he was serving as the emperor of the Chinese Empire to personally conquer the country.

The old situation of the Battle of Liaoyang was repeated on the Korean Peninsula. Three large-scale battles shattered six main divisions and four reserve brigades of the Japanese army, as well as two division-sized Korean servants.

The Japanese army claims to have fifteen divisions, but in fact only twelve divisions are formally organized. The remaining 13th, 14th, and 15th divisions have not yet been formed. The 14th and 15th divisions have also mobilized a large number of officers and soldiers to form

The reserve brigade was destroyed in half of the Imperial Japanese Army in just ten days of the Northeastern Army's offensive.

It is obvious that this battle cannot be fought any longer.

…

After occupying Pyongyang, Song Biao requisitioned the residence of North Pyongyang South Province as the frontline headquarters of the Northeastern Army. He established a frontline general munitions station in Jiangdong County, 35 kilometers east of Pyongyang, and transferred supplies from the Northeast and China. He started planning.

Launch another southward offensive, starting from Seoul and fighting all the way to Busan.

After Pyongyang was captured, the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Northeast Divisions were repaired on the spot. The 6th Division was intensively transferred to Kuandian via the railway to prepare for the southward movement. The 12th, 14th, and 15th Infantry Divisions of the Beiyang Department served as

The main force was responsible for attacking Seoul, and the 1st Infantry Division was stationed in Yeoncheon as preparation.

During this period, the entire army seized the time to reorganize, and the newly formed regiments mobilized large-scale troops to supplement the first and second-line troops. 70,000 new soldiers transferred from the country were added to the new patrol army regiments that were located in the third-line troops.

It was a good decision to attack Pyongyang quickly, because Pyongyang is the headquarters of the Japanese army, which has hoarded a large amount of military supplies and ammunition reserves, and also sorted out the captured supplies of the Japanese army. The Northeast Army has achieved the goal of supporting war with war.

Use Japanese military supplies to reduce supply.

After reorganizing the artillery captured from the Japanese army, plus further deployment from within the pass, and the arrival of the second batch of artillery leased from Russia, the Northeast Army will have more than 3,300 barrel artillery pieces in half a month, enough to

The Northeastern Army established two artillery corps.

After a new combat meeting was held that morning, Song Biao received a letter of greeting from Qiu Shanzhen who had come to see him.

At this time, Song Biao was already the emperor of the Chinese Empire. It was much more difficult to see him than in previous years. As for his status as the emperor, after this battle, there was no longer any objection at home and abroad.

There are only two things that concern him. One is when he will officially ascend the throne and send a special envoy to congratulate him and submit his credentials; the other is how the Sino-Japanese War of 1911 will end.

The British Empire was obviously an accomplice of Japan and wanted to kill the new empire with Japan. The British Empire was very thick-skinned and wanted to come over to mediate between China and Japan. Song Biao refused rudely. As the relationship between Britain and France improved day by day, and Russia and France

Alliance. France also tried to coordinate with China and Japan, but Song Biao decided to invite the United States, a neutral outsider, to coordinate, and at the same time set the venue for negotiations in Pyongyang.

The reason why Song Biao did this was precisely because the seemingly neutral United States also wanted to weaken Japan in order to reduce the threat of the Japanese navy to the United States.

Akiyama is really an old friend.

Song Biao still agreed to meet and asked Han Chunlin to pick up Akiyama Shinzhi.

More than ten minutes later, Akiyama Shinyuki, who was wearing a handsome white military uniform, followed First Class Chamberlain Han Chunlin into the office with a solemn expression. He walked to the center of the office and bowed to Song Biao with a solemn expression.

He saluted, but without raising his head, he held up the letter with both hands and said: "His Majesty, the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, thanks to the great trust of His Excellency Katsura Taro, the Prime Minister of our country, I have brought a letter personally written by the Prime Minister. Please accept it!"

Song Biao raised his eyes coldly and glanced at Akiyama Shinichi. After a while, he nodded slightly and motioned to Han Chunlin to take the letter.

After receiving Song Biao's instruction, Han Chunlin stepped forward to take the letter and respectfully forwarded it to Song Biao.

Katsura Taro's calligraphy is very good. Probably the calligraphy of these old Japanese people is much smarter than that of Song Biao. Song Biao was concerned about this and fiddled with it for a while before opening the letter. While opening it, he said to Akiyama Masayuki: "Your country

It’s really interesting. Do I have to send you here every time when this happens?”

Akiyama really wanted to make a joke and humiliate those bastards in the army, but he just considered that things are different now. Song Biao has become the emperor of China. Even in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor of China was still higher than the emperor of Japan.

The emperor of the emperor.

He did not dare to say those sarcastic and vicious words anymore, and kept bowing his head and replied: "Your Majesty is wise, the Prime Minister probably thinks that I still have some courage to tell the truth in front of Your Majesty."

Song Biao opened the letter, read it and said: "You are a foreign envoy, so you don't need to be so cautious. Sit down."

Akiyama Shinyuki thanked him immediately and sat on the chair arranged by Han Chunlin.

Song Biao read Katsura Taro's letter. He estimated that it was similar to Abe's letter written many years later. However, if China and Japan cooperate, Asia will win. If China and Japan cooperate, Asia will recover. If China and Japan compete, Asia will fail.

He also talked about the past history and friendship between China and Japan, and hoped that Emperor Song Biao would take the overall situation into consideration and work with him to end the war, restore peace, restore normal commercial relations between the two countries, and talk about future cooperation.

Whether Japanese or Koreans, including North Korea, Vietnam, and Myanmar, they all behave like this. They take advantage and refuse to let go. They suffer losses because China poses as a great power. Anyway, you have a vast territory and a rich family.

, you should be more tolerant of me. And you have been tolerant for thousands of years.

After reading the letter, Song Biao became more and more angry as he thought about it. He tore the letter into two pieces, crumpled it into a ball and threw it on the ground.

Akiyama Shinyuki was taken aback, and Han Chunlin who was accompanying him was also stunned and speechless. However, neither of them could see anything unusual in Song Biao's expression, and he still looked calm and indifferent.

At this moment, Song Biao and Shinichi Akiyama said: "Prime Minister Katsura Taro single-handedly launched this war, which caused heavy losses to our country. Our country strictly demands that war criminals be punished. During Katsura Taro's tenure as Prime Minister of the Cabinet, our country rejected all requests for peace talks. In addition, like

Don't use Prime Minister Katsura's shameless words to insult my intelligence. Don't say that I am the leader of the country.

Things are just street things, provoking others, smashing other people's vendors. In the end, you can't beat others, but you want to walk away without taking any responsibility. There is no such good thing in the world. We have known each other for a long time.

, I won’t talk nonsense with you. In short, I won’t give up. If you want to negotiate peace, just wait until your country offers conditions.”

Akiyama Masayuki didn't know what Katsura Taro wrote, so he must have meant that he didn't say anything serious, and probably didn't even apologize.

Thinking of this, Masayuki Akiyama really doesn't know what Prime Minister Katsura Taro asked him to do, is it just to embarrass him? Really, how could there be such a prime minister?

Thinking about it, Akiyama Manochi feels very sad. Previously, those guys in the country were clamoring that if Song Biao became the emperor of China, Japan would be completely destroyed. The whole country knew about it, even Prime Minister Katsura Taro

Repeatedly in this way, the result will be a war.

Although Akiyama Masayuki didn't know whether he would lose or win at first, he always felt that Emperor Song was not someone who was easy to mess with. If something happened, he would continue to fight with Japan, and Japan would be the one to suffer in the end.

The result was good, but this time it was really a big loss.

So, those bastards in the Army are really unreliable at all. They only talk nonsense about being loyal to the emperor and serving the country, and saying that Japan will perish if it does not conquer China.

Really.

There really aren’t many reliable people in Japan nowadays!

Akiyama Maozhi felt increasingly sad, and could only sigh to Song Biao: "Your Majesty, I knew that coming here this time would cause trouble. If I could decide this matter, it would be much easier. I think it would be easier.

What the Prime Minister said were meaningless greetings, and he probably didn’t express his true thoughts. But as far as I know, the Prime Minister is really very

If we want to quickly end this war that should never have happened, there are only two questions now. One is to know the conditions of you and your country, the other is to consider the price that our country can pay, and the third is if an agreement can really be reached

Regarding the peace treaty, I also ask for Your Majesty's understanding. Please be sure to avoid using words such as our country's defeat or your country's victory, so as not to further irritate our people."

Song Biao immediately said sarcastically: "It's nonsense. The war was so big, so many people died, and so much money was spent. Is it going to end like this with no victory or defeat?"

Akiyama Shinori said: "Your Majesty, calm down, please consider the situation of our country. After all, our country is an island country surrounded by sea. When you lack the navy, continuing to fight like this will not be an easy end. If

The war really must continue forever. Our navy can only carry out more serious actions along the coast of your country.

A powerful infringement move, this is obviously not what you expected to see. In other words, if you don't want a quick victory, there is really no need to pay such a high price and force the advance. As far as I know, the Northeast Army's real

The main force is only 200,000 in size, and the current casualty rate has probably reached 1

4, and although our army is in a sorry state, it still has sufficient reserve forces that can be mobilized. Although these remarks are somewhat threatening, I sincerely hope that China and Japan can end this war that should not happen as soon as possible.

war."

Song Biao asked him: "What do you mean it shouldn't happen? Major General Akiyama, existence is reasonable. There are many reasons why your country wants to provoke this war. If you make a mistake, you must admit it instead of saying 'shouldn't happen'"

Such excuses to cover up, I

This is what I hate most about your country. When you take advantage, you talk about ethnography. When you suffer a loss, you pretend that nothing happened. You blindly avoid any responsibility. In the words of us Chinese, your country can only

Use four words to describe it: despicable and shameless."

After a pause, Song Biao seemed very calm and added: "I am not here to get carried away and point fingers and make random comments just because I won the battle. But because I have known the nature of your country since the massacre of Lushun. You can

Go back and sue

Sue Katsura Taro. Don’t underestimate me. The arms I secretly produced and purchased are enough for me to defeat all the armies of your country. You have been preparing for this battle for several years. I don’t know, but I have been preparing for six years. If only

To overthrow the Manchu rule,

With the strength of the Northeastern Army, it could have marched into the border four years ago. For the remaining four years, I have been waiting for you to cause trouble. As you said, continuing to fight is not very good for our country, but

Likewise. Based on our country's preparations, it will definitely be more detrimental to you if we continue to fight. As long as you still want the colony of Korea, I can slowly drag you and fight until you are at the end of your rope. If you don't believe it, then

Just take your time and fight with me on the Korean Peninsula."

Akiyama was really speechless, thinking that you are really cruel, but you don't have to say it so harshly. Although you are His Majesty the Emperor now, and I am just an envoy of a country. But after all, we can be regarded as old friends with friendship. I miss you back then.

If you want to send students to study in the Empire of Japan, I have done a lot of work and won a lot of preferential treatment policies for you.

At this moment, Qiu Shan really felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.

He hated those bastards in the Army for making him and the Japanese Empire lose face in Korea.

Without the Xinhai War, the Empire of Japan would be regarded as one of the rising powers in the hearts of all countries. But now it has really become a joke in the eyes of all countries. The army was massacred twice. The death was more miserable than the last time.

Those who were consumed in the attack simply sat there and were surrounded and annihilated this time, and served as a bench for the Chinese Army.

Qiu Shan thought to himself, this is really a turn of events. Today's Chinese Army can shock all countries in the world with just this battle and join the ranks of the world's largest armies. From today on, during the lifetime of Emperor Song, which country dares to

Send the army to this continent to challenge the Chinese army?

Seeing that Akiyama was so embarrassed that he had nothing to say, Song Biaocai said: "Let the provisional cabinet government consider the specific conditions to reach an armistice agreement. As the emperor of a constitutional monarchy, and under the current situation

Under this situation, it is not convenient for me to interfere openly or semi-publicly in the work of the government. You can just sign the armistice agreement. As for whether you are defeated or victorious, history will naturally make a fair judgment.
