"Your Majesty, long time no see. Now China has controlled the entire Africa. Ninety percent of Asia is different now. Time really passes too quickly." After Hirobuki Ito bowed deeply, he was not very unfamiliar. He was indeed like an old friend of Emperor Hua. Then he talked happily, "I remember when we first met, His Majesty was just over one year old. His Majesty was not able to walk by himself at that time, and he had to hold him wherever he went."

"Those two are not servants, but slaves of my family. They are now senior officials of China." Hua Emperor smiled, "I remember that at that time, Hiromoto Ito was still a young man, but now he is already middle-aged. Time really passes very quickly, and ten years pass by like a flash of time."

"Your Majesty, the purpose of my search for you today is to restore China and Japan to its past friendship. Kyushu Island can be ceded to China. As for the war reparations, it is also included. Japan's national strength is weak and cannot afford high war reparations. Your Majesty, is this OK?" Hirobuki Ito directly offered a price without any hesitation. Although the content of his speech was very pitiful, there was no look of compromise on his face.

Emperor Hua was slightly stunned. He did not expect Hirobuki Ito would offer such a price. This is difficult for a country to speak. At least in the original history, when China was at its weakest, it never used proactive cede land compensation to seek peace.

The Japanese are strong and the emperor finally realized that Hirobuki Ito in front of him now did not have the arrogance of the past, but he was completely in the attitude of the gods.

The more natural Hirobuki Ito's attitude, the more comfortable it makes the Emperor of China feel. It seems that the competitive relationship between them was illusory. The Japanese have already recognized the strong history of China in the past and the status of China from the bottom of their hearts.

"I never thought of conquering Japan by force. At that time, you started the war without authorization. North Korea has been a vassal state of China since ancient times. Your arrogance has caused such consequences. I can agree to your request, but I have to add one thing that Japan has since become the protected country of China. The right to diplomacy and trade belong to China. All port cities are given up. No army of more than 100,000 people is allowed to have an equal to other protected countries of China." The Emperor Hua also offered his own conditions.

Hirobu Ito had long guessed that Emperor Hua would say this, hesitating and not speaking. This is an unacceptable condition, because it is not just him, the group of people who first "awakened" in the Meiji Restoration still had the dream of rising in their hearts and became the protected country of China. It would destined that Japan would always be a poor and weak island and could never take off again. However, thinking about "take off" now seems to be a ridiculous thing. Kyushu Island, Ryukyu, and North Korea have all been included in China. In the face of the powerful China, where will Japan extend? Without room for extension, it is difficult to even be self-sufficiency with the poor resources on the Japanese island.

"What? Do you want to consider it? I don't mean to force you." Emperor Hua smiled indifferently.

"Thank you for your magnanimity. After I go back, I will talk to Your Majesty seriously. This is a major event. Even Your Majesty can't make a decision. It involves too much." Hirofumi Ito bowed and said, "So, I personally have no right to reply to Your Majesty."

"I forgot if you don't say it. If you think about it, there will be no title like the Emperor anymore. Isn't it ridiculous to be a small island? All the protected countries in China, including the king, not to mention the titles of kings, dukes, marquis, counts, viscounts, and barons, they do not exist. They can retain Meiji's aristocratic status, but there will no longer be official titles. He can be called your regional chief." Huang Huang added.

"I understand, your majesty." Hirofumi Ito bowed again, "I'm really sorry to bother Your Majesty."

"It doesn't matter." Hua Huang smiled slightly, stood up and patted Ito Hirobuki's shoulder, "Politics is politics, I personally admire you very much. I have always regarded you as a friend. Everything in the past has been overturned!"

Hirobu Ito looked at His Majesty Hua in shock. He knew very well that Emperor Hua knew very well that Emperor Hua knew the plan to assassinate Emperor Hua in Tianjin. Emperor Hua said this to forgive him, the "culprit". A person can even forgive the culprit for killing himself. What kind of demeanor is this.

"I heard Your Majesty say this, Hiromori Ito feels ashamed and panicked. Thank you for your kindness. I dare not regard Your Majesty as a friend, because His Majesty is already the greatest person in my heart and the one I admire." Hiromori Ito's eyes turned red.

Emperor Hua smiled slightly and did not respond.

After Hirowen Ito left, Princess Katrina Kaif said to the Emperor of China in surprise: "Your Majesty, I really didn't expect Hirowen Ito would make such a request and actually ask to take the initiative to negotiate peace with China?"

"This is within my expectations, because China is now strong enough. As long as we do not make mistakes, China is already the country with the strongest comprehensive national strength in the world!" Emperor Hua proudly said to Princess Katrina Kaif. This is the truth about Emperor Hua. Although compared with the original history, China's industrial strength has not been much enhanced, it has only been more concentrated. For the entire country, the biggest change is the change in the system, from feudal autocratic rule to a constitutional monarchy, ending the rule of the Qing court early, and omitting more than half a century of warlord melee and the history of being invaded by Japan for the entire China. That's all, but even if only such a little change has led China to another path in history.

No matter when, no matter how weak it is, as long as China is unified and united, even if the feudal agricultural economy has developed an industrial system for one or two hundred years to the great powers, China will show its incomparable strength. This is the charm of China's history and the foundation of a great power.

British minister William Ult Gladston and French President François lived in Princess Catrina Cave for more than a month, but nothing had made progress. Every time they asked for a meeting, the Emperor would meet him, but it was only a short time. Most of the specific contents were needed to negotiate with Zeng Jize, but they had never reached an agreement.

But by August 1879, Huayuan had already begun to be circulated throughout Asia and Africa.

After the Spanish King and Xiang and the Dutch King and Xiang visited Princess Katrina Kaf respectively, the Chinese bought Indonesia, Malay and the Philippines for 10,000 yuan and 15,000 yuan respectively.

It is not about Spain and the Netherlands, but about a business. In this era, buying and selling colonies is indeed like buying goods. This was how Alaska came from Tsarist Russia to the hands of the Americans earlier.

After the Crimean War broke out in 1853, Russia was afraid that the Alaska colony would be taken away by Britain, so it proposed to sell Alaska to the United States. In April 1867, the two sides sold for $720,000.

In this era, the Chinese Yuan is more valuable than the US dollar. 10,000 Huayuan is equivalent to more than 80,000 US dollars. If the Chinese army uses force to seize it, the military expenditure will not be so much, but the Emperor Hua still chose to buy it.

Mastering the Suez Canal also made Spain and the Netherlands dare not fight against the powerful Chinese country by the side of China. This is a clever approach, otherwise it would have to follow the footsteps of Britain and France.

These two businesses have also brought the weak Spain and the Netherlands back to the great power groups, making the situation in Europe more evenly.

If the great powers were the first world, the second world was the second world, and other poor and weak countries were the third world, with the rapid rise of China, the third world was no longer troubled by war, and China became a judge of the whole world, bringing peace to the whole world.

"This year's Ministry of Finance plans to print 100 million Chinese Yuan, which will be placed in batches according to market consumption." Princess Katrina Kaif told the Emperor Hua.

"Haha, just talk with Catherine, He Daoming and others, don't tell me so much." Hua Huang patted his forehead. "Just one thing, to ensure the high development of China, ensure the high development of industry and roads, and to complete the comprehensive food and clothing of China."

Princess Katrina Kaif smiled and said, "Then I want to tell Your Majesty, your Majesty, will our military expenditure increase this year?"

"No, just move steadily. I don't expect that there will be no war in the future. It is mainly about quality, mechanization of the entire army, and the development of the navy and air force. If the European and American powers want to play an arms race with us, we will increase the military expenditure." Emperor Hua said calmly. He never had the idea of ​​unifying the whole world with force. His force is used to create peace for the world.

"Okay, your majesty." Princess Katrina Kaif smiled sweetly.

Emperor Hua not only was willing to spend money, but also attached importance to publicity, spread his ideas, spoke to Huacui Evening News, and spoke to reporters from various countries. Today, every step China has taken has only one goal, to become stronger and towards peace, so that the Chinese mainland will no longer be threatened and become a defender of world peace.

Another month later, news came from the Japanese that the Japanese evacuated from Kyushu Island in an all-round way, including Takamoto Saigo. Takamoto Saigo was completely tired of being played by the Emperor of China. For the sake of Japan's interests, after a long talk with Hirofumi Ito, he took the initiative to bow to the Meiji government. The result of the compromise between the two sides was to retain certain privileges for the samurai class. However, these had nothing to do with the overall situation. The main reason was that all parties recognized the strength of China and became enemies with China, which would lead to the destruction of Japan.

Hirofumi Ito, Meiji, and a group of cabinet ministers went to Nagasaki to meet with Li Hongzhang and agreed to all the conditions proposed by Emperor Hua, and Japan was willing to be the protected country of China.

When the news came, the reaction of the whole country of China was very dull. Everyone thought it was a natural thing and let it go. However, European and American countries were shocked again. Without military power, one country took the initiative to surrender to another country, which was the first time.

As Emperor Hua completed the comprehensive protection of Asia and Africa, China's country was unprecedented in popularity. Even the most powerful Tang and Ming Dynasty in history did not have their current international status.

British Prime Minister William Ult Gladstone and French President Francois could not sit still. The most important thing is that even if China is completely isolated from the outside world, it can create more output value based on its own territory alone, because the population actually controlled by China has exceeded 300 million, far beyond the regions outside China in this era. The regions outside China are combined, less than 500 million, and everyone can calculate the amount of this economic size.

British Prime Minister William Ult Gladstone scolded his predecessor Benjamin Disrelli to death and said to French President François: "Look at how they develop? They are all the poorest areas, but when these places are combined, we now know how terrible it is. There are so many people, each spending 1 Huayuan, and the daily consumption level is more than 300 million Huayuan. Who can catch up?"

French President Francois smiled bitterly and said, "Stop talking about these things, hurry up and deal with the aftermath. If you can't reach an agreement, I won't care about you. There is actually not much conflict between France and China. We can just make a little concession."

"You didn't use overseas colonies. What China wants is our Canada and Australia. Can the situation be the same?" British minister William Ult Gladstone said helplessly. "The Dutch and the Spanish sold their colonies, which caused a big problem for us Britain."

French President François nodded and said, "In the world market, if China really wants to show, there will be too many conflicts with you, Britain, but it would be a pity to let go like this. I can understand you. However, I think you can't hold on Australia sooner or later. Now there is nothing. It's better to let go as soon as possible and exchange for some money. Moreover, Australia is divided and is all free immigrants. You Britain has never received money in Australia. For you, Australia is just a bit better in terms of face. In my opinion, it will be a situation where they will lose it sooner or later. Even if they don't lose it, they will be independent in the future. As for Canada, let's drag it first."

British Prime Minister William Ult Gladston deeply agreed after hearing François's words, "The truth is this, but... who is willing to be this historical sinner?"

"Then you discuss with the country. If it really doesn't work, just change someone." French President François sighed, "I won't say much to you. I have already decided to reach an agreement with Zeng Gize today to end this situation as soon as possible. What France needs most now is stability, otherwise one day the government will be overthrown by those strikers."

British Prime Minister William Ult Gladston frowned, stood up and shook hands with François, "Okay. Wish us good luck."
