So everyone, escorted by the army, left the side door of the dock, where there were carriages approaching. The members of the negotiation team got on the carriage one by one, were escorted by the army, and went home.

What was prepared for Hiromitsu Ito was a luxurious four-person carriage. After Hiromitsu Ito got on the car, Kumao Nishinoji and Inaetsuki also got on the car and wanted to send Hiromitsu Ito to return it home.

The carriage left the dock and saw that no one was found following him, Nishimotoji Gongwang and Inaetsushi breathed a sigh of relief and told Hirofumi Ito that on the day of signing the contract, there was a huge riot in Tokyo. About 100,000 people gathered in front of the Japanese **, denounced the incompetence of the Japanese cabinet, lost power and humiliation, and opposed signing a treaty with the East China **, demanding that the fight continue. The gathering quickly developed into atrocities such as riots, robbery, arson, burning and killing. The Japanese ** dispatched troops and police to suppress it. As a result, in this riot, more than 700 buildings were damaged, of which more than 300 buildings were seriously damaged, 358 people were killed, 1,552 people were injured, and 2,167 others were arrested, and 7 policemen were killed in the riot. Tokyo carried out martial law for this for three days.

Although the riots in Tokyo were controlled by the Japanese, the people soon targeted the members of the negotiation team, believing that they betrayed Japan and signed a treaty of humiliation with the East China **. Hiromori Ito was naturally the first to bear the brunt of it, so some people began to organize a besiege of Hiromori Ito. Fortunately, the Japanese police arrived at the extreme and protected Hiromori Ito. At the same time, the inner cabinet sent troops to disperse the people who organized the besiege of Hiromori Ito. This did not cause casualties to Ito's family members, but the residence and facilities were damaged to a certain extent.

Hirobu Ito was relieved when he heard this. As long as the family members were not hurt, it would be a blessing. At the same time, he was relieved of the domestic arrangements. From this point of view, at least Japan has not completely given up on itself, and perhaps he can avoid Li Hongzhang's ending.

After signing the contract, the Japanese ** also changed. First, Prime Minister Kaitaro announced his resignation. Then, Army Minister Masato Terayuki, Army Chief of Staff Aritomoto, Navy Minister Yuki Ito, and Navy Order Minister Kotobu Yamamoto all resigned at almost the same time. All senior officials of the military also left.

In fact, this is also expected. After all, Japan was defeated so miserably this time. Although Japan was the sneak attack of East China and stole Japan's victory, if it was defeated, it would always be someone responsible for the defeat. Therefore, the Prime Minister and the military naturally became the target of public criticism and could only resign and apologize.

Although Hirofumi Ito and Aritomoto Yama Prefecture had an agreement. After Katsutaro resigned, the Massacre Association led by Hirofumi Ito still supported the personnel of the Yama Prefecture Aritomoto faction as prime minister. However, firstly, there is currently no candidate for the Yama Prefecture Aritomoto faction to be the Prime Minister at present; secondly, Japan is a mess now, and being the prime minister at this time is obviously thankless. Therefore, Aritomoto Yama Prefecture suggested that the Massacre Association be the Prime Minister for the time being, with a three-year transition period, and then people from his own faction would serve as prime minister. However, since Hirofumi Ito was negotiating in Shanghai at that time and had not returned to Japan, Nishimotoji Komakoto and Inaetsushi could only temporarily shelve Aritomoto Yama Prefecture's suggestion was temporarily put on hold and wait for Hirofumi Ito to come back to discuss.

Hirofumi Ito couldn't help but be happy when he heard this. This was good news. Although Japan is indeed a mess now, if there is danger, it is an opportunity. Obtaining the opportunity to rule means gaining power. It can not only expand the influence of the Massacre Association in the Japanese political arena, but also promote new members of the Massacre Association. For example, Hirofumi Ito is optimistic about Naotao Miyamoto, so he can take this opportunity to elevate him to an important position.

Although Japan is a mess now, it can also gain more power. Bijing is an extraordinary period and can also take advantage of Japan's defeat to suppress the military's forces. Therefore, the Political Association cannot agree so happily, but must take advantage of this opportunity to force the military to make necessary concessions, at least reduce military expenditures. In recent years, in order to prepare for the war against Russia, Japan's annual military expenditure has been 30% of its fiscal revenue. At the highest point, it is almost 40%. On average, it is basically around 35%. This is a very shocking proportion. Now that a man from Yama Prefecture wants the Political Association to take over this mess, the Political Association just needs the Military Association to ask the Military to agree to reduce military expenditures as a condition. The reasons are all ready-made. Now Japan's finances are exhausted and its foreign debt is huge. If military expenditures are not reduced, it is impossible to survive this crisis.

Of course, this faces another problem. In the political and social association, Hirofumi Ito himself must not be able to do who will be the Prime Minister. First, Hirofumi Ito has formed a cabinet three times and does not intend to be the Prime Minister again. He just wants to be behind the scenes. Second, Bi Jing signed the [Shanghai Treaty] on behalf of Japan. At this time, it was difficult to convince the public. He looked at the two people opposite him and said, "Nisenji, then you will be the Prime Minister."

Nishiroji Kotoshi is one of the meritorious contributions of the Meiji Restoration. He is the second second person in the Magistrate Association after Hirofumi Ito. Hirofumi Ito also intends to cultivate Nishiroji Kotoshi and act on his behalf, just like Aritoshi Yama Prefecture pushing Kitaro to the front desk and manipulating behind his back, now is this opportunity.

Nishiroji Temple was about to speak, but the carriage had arrived in front of Ito Hirofumi's residence. Ito Hirofumi said: "Get out of the car first. Let's discuss the matter of the Prime Minister tomorrow. However, Nishiroji Temple, you can think about it carefully tonight."

After getting off the bus, I saw dozens of police officers in black around the perimeter of the house. The exterior walls of the house were mottled, and there were still many unremoved stains. There were still traces of smashing on the windows, doors, and colonnades, which made Hirofumi Ito frown. You can imagine what a fierce scene it was at that time.

At this time, the doorman opened. Ito Hiromi's wife Meiko took her children out to welcome Ito Hiromi's return. Ito Hiromi has 4 children and 3 daughters, all of which are adults. The youngest daughter is 18 years old. After experiencing such a big storm, the relatives naturally felt a different feeling. The two youngest daughters first rushed to Ito Hiromi's arms and started crying. Although Madam Mei and several sons wanted to try their best to maintain etiquette, they couldn't help but wipe the corners of their eyes.

Fortunately, Hirofumi Ito was also a very self-controlled person. He quickly controlled his emotions and asked his wife to comfort his daughter. He also asked his son to arrange for the servant to carry his luggage off the carriage, and then he called Nishinoji Koma and Inaetsu to enter the house for tea.

However, Nishienji Komatsu and Inaetsu Tsubasa also knew that their family must have a lot to say, so they all politely declined and said goodbye to Hirofumi Ito and went home.

Although the war has stopped now, the situation in Japan is still full of dangers, Hirofumi Ito only rests at home for one night and starts to work in new work the next day. First, negotiate with Akito Yama Prefecture, agrees to form a cabinet to clean up the mess in Japan, and after three years, the position of Prime Minister will be given to Akito Yama Prefecture's personnel, but requires that the military expenses be reduced to less than 20% of fiscal revenue within these three years. Although this proportion is extremely high, it is a great concession compared with previous years.

Yama Prefecture Youto also knows that Japan's finances are basically collapsed and military expenditures must be reduced. However, in the first two years, the military expenditures were reduced to 20% of fiscal revenue and increased to 25% in the third year. After consideration, Hirofumi Ito gave in and agreed to Yama Prefecture Youto's request.

After the two bigwigs reached an agreement, Hirofumi Ito immediately began to prepare for the formation of a cabinet and nominated Nishizoji Kotomi as Prime Minister. This proposal was also successfully approved in the Political Association, so Nishizokomi Kotomi took over Kitaro and became the Prime Minister of Japan.

The Prime Minister has confirmed, and then he will determine several new military leaders. In fact, although senior military officials resigned collectively, their successors have long been determined, because the officials of the Japanese Navy and Army are all determined by their own internal departments and do not need to be approved in the cabinet. The Prime Minister's appointment is just a formality.

The Army Secretary was appointed by Kawakami Kawakami, and the Chief of Staff was replaced by Taro Otaku. However, Taro Otaku is still on the Korean Peninsula and organizes the withdrawal of the Japanese army. Although the sea blockade in East China has been lifted, after Japan's defeat, some unstable situations have occurred on the Korean Peninsula. Therefore, Taro Otaku did not dare to be careless and also arranged a certain army on the Korean Peninsula to suppress South Korea's turmoil. Therefore, he did not return to Japan and was temporarily represented by Hasegawa Yoshidao.

In the Navy, the Minister of Navy was appointed by Saito Shizuo, the Minister of Military Order was appointed by Goro Ishizuo, and the Commander of the Joint Fleet was appointed by Nozomi Nishizuo. It turned out that before the Russo-Japanese War, Nozomi Nishizuo and Togo Hirahachiro were both candidates for the Commander of the Joint Fleet. The then Minister of Military Order, Murata Yamamoto, chose Togo Hirahachiro as the Commander of the Joint Fleet based on the good luck of Togo Hirahachiro, and Nozomi Nishizuo chose to retire. As a result, although Heihachiro Togo commanded the navy and annihilated the Russian Pacific Fleet, he was buried at the bottom of the sea during the Battle of Tsuma. And Nozomi Nishizuo was asked by the Navy Command to restore military service and rebuild the Joint Fleet.

In addition to military personnel, all members of the Katsutaro Cabinet were retained before, but Inukatsu served as Minister of the Ministry of Culture. Bi Jing is now an extraordinary period, and this is the first time Nishienji Kotomi served as Prime Minister, so it is still mainly stable.

The change in Japan's ** was not very turbulent, and it quickly stabilized. The next thing was Guanjian, which was to negotiate loans with Britain, France, the United States and Germany as soon as possible, because Japan would not only pay compensation to East China **, but also obtain funds for restoration and reconstruction.
