Before the peace talks between China and Japan began, Mutsuhito appointed Prime Minister Hiromoto Ito and Foreign Minister Muro Omoto as the plenipotentiary ministers of peace talks and entered North Korea to conduct peace talks. On October 15, Japanese negotiators landed in Japanese warships from Incheon to Seoul to meet with Aritomo Yama Prefecture, commander of the First Army, and prepared to go to Pyongyang for negotiations.
The Japanese negotiating staff included Naval Commander Shiki Karayama, Aritomo Yama Prefecture, Minister of North Korea Keisuke Oshima, Chief Executive of the battlefield, Sutaro Komura, and Kintoku Notsu, and Kin of the First Army.
When Ito Hirofumi met with Akito Yama Prefecture in Seoul, he asked Akito Yama Prefecture in detail about the reasons for the failure of the battle and expressed incomprehension about the empire's loss of many middle and lower-level officers in the only few battles.
When Yama Prefecture heard Hirobuki Ito's question, he replied with a little sadness: "Ito, after our army has been investigating for many days, I realized that the important reason why the imperial officers suffered heavy losses was that Ye Zhikui formed a new special forces team of troops, which Ye Zhikui called the Iron-Blooded Thirteen Eagles."
"Special Force! What kind of troops is that?" Hirofumi Ito frowned and asked with a frown when he heard this name for the first time.
Yama Prefecture Akito thought about it and tried to make Ito understand. He explained: "This is a bit similar to the ninjas in our country, but it is also different. In short, their tasks are diverse, such as assassinating the enemy, spy on intelligence, protecting generals, and even participating in the battle directly on the battlefield. However, please rest assured that our First Army has begun to form a large Japanese special forces team based on Ye Zhikui's special forces team as an example. I believe that if Ye Zhikui's next battle, it will not be so easy."
Hirofumi Ito breathed a sigh of relief and said, "For this reason, I will work hard for Yama Prefecture."

On the Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang formed a group of Beiyang generals and led his group of Beiyang soldiers to North Korea happily. Their entourage included Li Jingfang (son of Li Hongzhang), who served as the minister to Japan and took a Japanese woman as his wife, Wu Tingfang, Ma Jianzhong, and others who were familiar with foreign affairs, as well as an American adviser, former US Secretary of State Kosda, who landed on a merchant ship from the Riverkou of Datong, North Korea, and will arrive in Pyongyang soon.
In Pyongyang, Ye Zhikui was inspecting various camps.
Because Li Hongzhang will definitely review all departments, so Ye Zhichao ordered all departments to prepare. If anyone makes me unsatisfied during the inspection, I will make him unsatisfied from now on. Ye Zhikui could only say secretly that the face project is not worth a lot in any era.
Ye Zhikui took Feng Guozhang, Wang Shizhen, Wen Baishan and others to inspect the battalions first. Because his usual requirements were very strict, he did not find any problems and prepared to return to the main account. When he walked past the training ground, he saw a familiar figure and couldn't help but walk forward, and everyone else was stuck.
It turned out that he saw Xiao Linglong lying on the ground, staring at the target and practicing shooting skills seriously. As the butcher's daughter and the unclear relationship with Ye Zhikui, no one dared to stop her.
Ye Zhikui walked up and frowned and blamed him unhappily: "Xiao Linglong, what are you doing? Is the gun fun? What should I do if I accidentally get fire and hurt myself?"
Seeing that it was Ye Zhikui, Xiao Linglong quickly got up, blushed and pulled the corner of her clothes without saying anything. When Ye Zhikui blamed him, she remained silent. Since Xiao Linglong secretly kissed Ye Zhikui at the city gate last time, she seemed at a loss when she saw Ye Zhikui, and she was blushing and not as witches as anyone else. Since the little girl recovered from illness, she has recovered from nature and is lively all day long, and likes to joke around and make fun of people. Seeing this little lady cute and lively, the soldiers of the Tiger Warrior Army were so cute that they were laughed and crying from time to time, they all loved her very much. They just secretly gave her the title of "Little Witch".
Although Ye Zhikui understood her thoughts after that, time has been tight recently, and Xiao Linglong is still young, so she has no intention of talking about love, so she will leave her alone.
The little girl knew Ye Zhikui’s thoughts, but she secretly regretted it, fearing that Ye Zhikui would not like her, and she did not dare to ask Ye Zhikui directly, so she gave birth to the instant Ye Zhikui didn’t like her. She also wanted to be an indispensable person around Ye Zhikui, just like her own father, so she practiced her marksmanship diligently, hoping that she could help Ye Zhikui and stay by his side.
Ye Zhikui really didn't understand the thoughts of these daughters who had been turning several times. Seeing that there was some mud on Xiao Linglong's forehead, she couldn't bear to blame her anymore, so she stepped forward and gently removed it with her hands, and then said, "Look, you're so careless that you've got mud all over your body. Go back quickly!"
Xiao Linglong blushed and nodded softly. The shyness of her daughter's house and the fragrance of a girl made Ye Zhikui lose his mind in an instant. When she woke up, Xiao Linglong had already walked away.
After shook his head and letting the beauty in his heart disappear, Ye Zhikui waved and the teacher from the training ground far away ran over quickly.
"How long has Xiao Linglong been training here?" Ye Zhikui looked at the teacher and asked.
The teacher knew Xiao Linglong and immediately replied: "If you say goodbye to Mr. Ye, Miss Linglong has been here for nearly half a month, and she has been training for a long time before leaving."
"Is that?" Ye Zhikui pondered for a moment. At first he thought Xiao Linglong came for fun. Now it seems that she really likes to play with guns. If this is the case, you don't have to stop her every time she comes again in the future. However, you must check the guns and ammunition in advance to ensure that they are foolproof, do you know?"
"I understand!" the teacher responded.

On October 16th, Li Hongzhang and others entered Pyongyang. Ye Zhichao led the North Korean generals to welcome him outside the city gate. Ye Zhikui finally met this Zhongtang master who had different evaluations in history. At this time, Li Hongzhang was still in full bloom. He was already very old, with a white beard, wearing a three-eyed feather, and a yellow jacket. He was still walking and walking with his eyes bright and bright. When he saw Ye Zhikui, his eyes stopped for a moment, with a little encouragement. Although Ye Zhikui had a short glance at the gate of the city, he was deeply impressed by him.
After Li Hongzhang took a break at his residence, the princess of Korea held a grand banquet at Anhe Palace to invite Li Hongzhang and others to welcome him. Li Hongzhang happily went there and then summoned Ye Zhichao and others to learn more about some of the things that happened on the Korean battlefield. Li Hongzhang was very gentle to others. When his subordinates spoke, they listened with a smile, and asked a question or two at the critical point, making the generals feel like they were in the spring breeze.
On the morning, Li Hongzhang proposed to inspect various North Korean troops. He inspected the camps one by one despite his age. When he arrived at the Huyong military camp, he saw that the Huyong military was neat and clean, and the soldiers had a new look. He couldn't help but say to the people who were accompanying him: "The Huyong Army is really the Huyong Army."
Before he could walk far, he arrived at the next camp again. He saw that the official of the camp was fat and big-headed and short and fat. He couldn't help but frowned and asked Ye Zhikui, "Who is this in your camp? Why did I sit in a high position when I see that he is not as a soldier?"
Ye Zhikui looked embarrassed and was about to reply. When he saw Ye Zhikui being questioned by his superior because of himself, he said something bad. He hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said excitedly, "Oh! This, this is the master of the Zhongtang. No wonder Xiao saw the purple air coming from the east and the magpies were on the branches. It turned out that it was really the master of the Zhongtang. Xiao looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally put General Ye on his lips and worshiped and admired him all day long. You are looking forward to it. The villain is really honored and honored. The villain is a Japanese man. It is precisely because of his admiration of the Qing Dynasty and the Lord of the Zhongtang that he abandoned the darkness and turned to the light and joined General Ye to serve you and General Ye."
After this guy finished speaking, he looked at Li Hongzhang with his scorching little eyes affectionately. It seemed that as long as Li Zhongtang said a word, he could die for him.
Ye Zhikui secretly threw a look of admiration and said at the right time: "This man turned out to be a military officer of the Japanese. Later, he surrendered to me and made many contributions. His subordinates promoted him to the first battalion of the North Koreans."
Li Hongzhang looked at Ren Shiwu's seemingly honest and honest face, and contacted what he had just said. He couldn't help but touch his beard, smiled slightly, and said, "He is a wonderful person." Ye Zhikui breathed a sigh of relief.
After Li Hongzhang reviewed and played various departments, he returned to Pyongyang to rest. North Korean officials broke the threshold of Li Zhongtang for a moment.
