Chapter 272 Conditions of Surrender

Da Zheng started looking around, but there was an iron gate in front that locked him inside. He couldn't get out. Da Zheng smashed the iron gate with his fist, and screamed like crazy for a while, and then began to look for food.

Finally, Taisho found a gecko lying on the wall, then grabbed it hard, and put it happily in his mouth and started chewing it.

"Your Majesty, that's not something to eat." A maid who had just gone out returned. When she saw Taisho's appearance, she immediately exclaimed.

The maid rushed over, snatched the gecko that had been eaten by Daezheng, threw his hand away on the ground outside, and then wiped his mouth with a gang of Daezheng.

"Your Majesty, remember, don't eat cockroaches, rats, geckos and the feces you pulled from now on, otherwise we will ignore you. Your Majesty must be more good." The maid knocked on Taishen's head and warned like a fooling child.

Then the maid took out a few roasted potatoes from a basket and took them out for Taisho to chew.

In June 1915, after experiencing countless painful nightmare tortures, his physical strength gradually weakened. Emperor Taisho, who was only 36 years old, died of illness in an air raid shelter. The Japanese spiritual leader had fallen down. There was a wail in Japan, and people could no longer see any hope.

At this time, Japan had completely regressed to the real agricultural society, with urban buildings collapsed one after another, and few left. Except for some residential areas, all other government offices, company office buildings, stock exchanges, banks and other institutions were all devastating. Japan was in a mess. Urban residents began to go to the countryside with their bags, planted food in their own land, and lived a life of farmers. All the achievements since the Meiji Restoration were gone.

The Japanese military headquarters, which had already moved into the underground office, was also wailing everywhere and crying in vain. At this time, the Japanese had lost the courage to resist.

On June 15, the crown prince Hirohito, who was only fourteen years old, ascended the throne. On the third day after Hirohito ascended the throne, an edict was issued, announcing that Japan would surrender unconditionally to the United Democratic Republic of China. As soon as the news came out, the responses in Japan were mixed. Most civilians accepted it. A few stubborn elements in the military still refused to execute the order, but were finally ordered by the military headquarters to clear out the army one after another. Although he was unwilling, Masato Tanouchi played a role in the absolute allegiance to the emperor. He led all members of the military headquarters to announce their acceptance of surrender. Japan, which had persisted for half a year, finally lowered his head.

Some of the Japanese generals and soldiers in Japan and among the Chinese soldiers shot themselves, while most of them chose to put down their weapons.

"Japan surrendered." Tan Jianye called Li Tiancheng to inform him of the news he had just received.

"If the Japanese do not surrender, I will blow them back to the primitive society. The so-called people who know the times are heroes. The Japanese don't even understand this principle. They have only surrendered until now, so they are considered unlucky." Li Tiancheng's eyes flashed with a sharp look and he said coldly.

"Pass my words, there are no negotiation conditions for concessions with the Japanese. They must accept every condition we give. We will not agree to any less. We will continue to bombard until they agree."

"Okay, I will notify Huang Xing that the Japanese military headquarters will send Masato Tanuchi and Yukihiko Kusse to Nanjing for negotiations. We will arrive the day after tomorrow. Our navy will escort them all the way to Shanghai and then to Nanjing." Tan Jianye responded.

"This time, we have to let Japan vomit some blood, wasting our time and so many shells, we have to compensate them for the losses."

On June 21, dejected Japanese military representatives Masato Deanuchi and Yukihiko Kusse arrived in Nanjing. Along the way, they saw the victory of Nanjing citizens celebrating with lights and colors. Compared with the chaos in Japan, the wailings were everywhere, their hearts were extremely depressed.

They thought that when Li Hongzhang arrived in Shiguan, Japan, the situation in Japan was very similar. The Japanese were shouting and scolding at Li Hongzhang along the way, but this time it was their turn to enjoy the same treatment. They felt very uncomfortable. Twenty years later, the arrogant Japanese finally tasted the consequences.

The conditions for China have been set out, and the two were warned in advance not to disobey any of them. They also received the promise of the Emperor, and they could decide directly.

Article 1: Japan compensates China for war reparations of 200 million taels of silver, paying it off in a 20-year period, and paying it back 15 million taels of capital and interest every year.

Article 2: Return Taiwan and the Penghu Islands and ced the territory of Okinawa as the territory of China; North Korea restores its free country, and the Chinese will send troops to assist North Korea's defense.

Article 3: Open a military port in Tokyo Bay, allowing troops to garrison within 100,000 troops there. Japan will never be allowed to garrison in and around Tokyo.

Article 4: Japan's customs are handed over to the China Kingdom to manage, and tariffs act as compensation until the compensation is paid off.

Article 5: Japan is not allowed to expand its navy and air force. The total size of the army is controlled below 200,000 people. The annual national defense budget shall not exceed one percent of the GDP. All military operations and domestic and foreign mobilizations of the Japanese army must be agreed to by the Chinese government.

Article 6: Japan does not have the right to declare war on foreign countries. If it wants to declare war on foreign countries, it must obtain the consent of China; if Japan establishes diplomatic relations or forms an alliance with foreign countries, it must obtain the consent of China.

Article 7: All Japanese troops and prisoners in China need to be disarmed from Zhen**, and all areas under control must be handed over to Zhen** to take over. Japanese generals and soldiers must stay in China for free for 20 years until the compensation is paid off.

Article 8: All Japanese ports and domestic markets must be opened to China. China will permanently receive the most-favored-nation treatment for trade with Japan. Japan is not allowed to set up trade barriers to China's products and completely open the market to China.

Article 9: Ten concessions including Kanagawa, Nagasaki, Nagoya, Kobe, Osaka were opened, and the Chinese countries were allowed to station troops in the concessions. The Chinese people in Japan were not subject to Japanese legal control, and all concessions were managed by themselves.

These nine articles have some additional clauses and some relevant clause details, which basically completely control Japan under the control of China.

After seeing these terms, although Teraunuchi Masato and Kusse Yukihiko were heartbroken, they were unable to resist at this time and had to obediently sign and seal the new Nanjing treaty for the Japanese Emperor, and then rolled back to Japan in shame amid the scolding of thousands of people.

Emperor Hirohito of Japan watched the Treaty of Nanjing for several days and nights, crying bitterly, Japan was already in complete darkness. Then China and Japan normalized diplomatic relations, and the two countries set up embassies to maintain political and economic exchanges.

In a state of depression, the Japanese troops in Shandong and other places began to surrender to Zhen** one after another. Zhen** took over the Japanese garrison. Then, Zhen** used troop transport ships to travel away a large number of troops in Tianjin, Lushun, Shenyang and other places, and transported the forces of two mechanized infantry divisions of two armored divisions in the areas along Shenyang.

In addition, Zhen** has reorganized two armored divisions and added two hundred taels of armored tanks. Both divisions are preparing to be transferred to Yunnan and Guangxi provinces in the south together with the two mechanical infantry divisions being formed.

Yuan Shikai and the Manchurian Kingdom dared not speak out because they knew that the Japanese who thought they were powerful had surrendered and they did not have many good days.

In June, all Japanese troops in China had been taken over, and the surrendered soldiers were transported to factories, mines, and enterprises in various places in batches for free labor. The Chinese country had more than 100,000 free labor, including the Japanese Navy commander Shigetaro Yoshimatsu, who was captured in the early stage. He had been sent to a factory in the mountainous area of ​​Jiangxi to be responsible for cleaning and hygiene.

On June 29, the Chinese government issued an ultimatum to the Yuan Shikai government and the Manchurian-Mongolian government, limiting them to dissolve the government on their own within one week. All troops surrendered to Zhenzhan, and the troops from all over the country accepted Zhenzhan's adaptation.

Yuan Shikai wanted to resist stubbornly for a moment, and the Manchu and Mongolian Kingdom then received support from Russia. The Russian army was ready to go south from Harbin and other places at any time to approach Changchun to help the Manchu and Mongolian Kingdom resist the Jin Dynasty. However, the Manchu and Mongolian Kingdom knew that the Russians were not good birds. Their purpose of coming to the Northeast was to dominate the land by themselves. The powerful and nobles of the Manchu and Mongolian Kingdom did not intend to cooperate with them for a long time, but just pretended to perfunctory the Russians.

"What is the attitude of the Yuan Shikai government now? Do they really dare to resist stubbornly?" Li Tiancheng was discussing the next action plan with Tan Jianye.

"Yuan Datou heard that he had fallen ill. It is rumored that he is very ill. It seems that it has been a short time. The government of the Chinese Empire is controlled by Cao Kun, Zhang Xun and Feng Guozhang. We should start with these three people." Tan Jianye suggested.

"However, Cao Kun and Zhang Xun are two stubborn people. They seem to be unwilling to submit, but Feng Guozhang can fight for it." Tan Jianye continued.

In history, Yuan Shikai died of illness in 1916, and it is only 1915. However, Yuan Shikai knew that his emperor could not be successful. The southern Chinese Kingdom would definitely not let him go. His ministers could still survive, but he could not escape death. Therefore, after the Japanese Navy was defeated, Yuan Shikai felt that his life-saving straw had been lost. He began to feel uneasy and was bored every day. He knew that sooner or later he would be judged by the Chinese Kingdom, and this day had come.

"We can no longer waste time in domestic struggles. We must quickly resolve Yuan Shikai's Chinese Empire and Manchuria Kingdom, and then concentrate our efforts on dealing with the Russians and Britain and France." Li Tiancheng said again.

"You must not be lenient with Yuan Shikai. He is a big traitor who colludes with the enemy and sells the country. For Cao Kun, Zhang Xun and others, we should first warn and persuade them to surrender. If they refuse to submit, they will immediately use special forces to launch operations and quickly collapse their combat command system."

"We can use some sugar-coated shells to lure them down and speed up the pace. We should quickly concentrate our energy in the Northeast region and not let Yuan Shikai tie our hands and feet."

Yuan Shikai jumped over the wall and then issued an order, ordering the seven divisions of the Chinese Empire to resist the attack of Zhenzhan and not surrender to treason, but this is also wishful thinking. At this time, people's hearts were already turbulent. Compared with Zhenzhan, the army of the Chinese Empire was simply an egg and a stone. If they wanted to resist, they would soon be defeated by the joint attack of the powerful armored forces and aviation forces. In the government, except for Cao Kun and Zhang Xun, everyone else was almost ready to give up the resistance.

On July 1, negotiators sent by Zhen** sneaked into Beijing, found the so-called Feng Guozhang's mansion, the so-called Minister of War, and persuaded him to surrender. Feng Guozhang began to be hesitant and pretended. After receiving a sum of money for settlement, he readily agreed.

Both Cao Kun and Zhang Xun seemed to be unsuccessful. Then the two special forces of Zhen** suddenly arrived at the residences of Cao Kun and Zhang Xun. Zhang Xun was shot dead during the resistance, and Cao Kun was captured by Zhen** by Zhen** and returned to Nanjing. He was immediately sentenced to death the next day and paraded in the streets to serve as a warning to You.

In the following days, the command center where several generals of the Chinese Empire who resisted were all bombarded and attacked by special forces. Five people were killed and three were seriously injured. Under the dual effects of force strikes and sugar-coated shells, the senior generals of the command system of the Chinese Emperor's ** team were gradually disintegrated.

The precarious Chinese Emperor's team then surrendered to Zhen** in a panic and accepted Zhen**'s inclusion. At this point, Henan, Shandong, Tianjin, Hebei and Beijing in North China were all recovered. Zhen** went all northward and pushed the front line out of Changchun City.

The panicked Manchurian and Mongolian government, under the auspices of Empress Dowager Longyu and Zaifeng and others, decided to break away from Russian control and surrender to Zhen**. The reward they received was that the Chinese would not judge them, but they had to be demoted from nobles to civilians. As ordinary people of China, ninety percent of all private wealth was handed over to the treasury.

Yu Zhen**’s extremely powerful force, the Yuan Shikai government and the Manchuria and Mongolian government, which were difficult for Han Qi to stand out, quickly collapsed. Yuan Shikai was angry in prison on the third day after his arrest and died of illness, ending his fifty-sixth life.

There are different historical evaluations of Yuan Shikai, but one thing is certain. Yuan Shikai is a person who can violate the general principles for his own selfish interests. People like this are not common in feudal society and are spread throughout the court and the country. However, in the new era, this person is too smooth and has no personality bottom line and is not worth imitating.

After the Chinese Empire and the Manchu and Mongolian Kingdom were quickly disintegrated within a few days, the Russians who stayed near Changchun felt a great crisis.
