When the night was low, the Kawasaki Maru, whose boiler had already risen, sounded the whistle and once again urged the passengers stranded at the dock. The captain was about to start the turbine and sail out of Yokohama to head towards the extremely vast ocean.△ Hearing the ticket inspector's urging, Sun Wen immediately hugged Miyazaki in front of him. After receiving advice from Japanese friendly people, he felt that he might not be able to come back in the future if he left Japan this time.

"Sir!!" Miyazaki's eyes were filled with tears, and he also hugged Sun Wen tightly. As a Japanese, although he was a marginal member of the Black Dragon Society, he knew better than Sun Wen about the official intention of Sun Wen and Japan. China has risen. The relationship between Japan and China is completely reversed, and the government will find it difficult for the government to support the Chinese Revolutionary Party in private in the future.

"After I leave, I can only ask you for the matter here in Japan. I want to tell Inuijun and other cabinet officials that only by overthrowing Yang Jingcheng can Sino-Japanese relations be truly friendly. Otherwise, in order to gain the support of the United States, he will also borrow money from the United States and be the executioner of other countries at all, which is simply a matter of disregarding the current situation where China and Japan are both oppressors of the Western powers.

China and Japan are neighbors with a belt of water, and the history of friendly exchanges has a long history. After the revolution, Sino-Japanese relations were still in an abnormal state, but I believe that under the promotion of the people of the two countries and the knowledgeable people of both countries, Sino-Japanese relations should be able to gradually restore normal friendly and diplomatic relations from civil exchanges, and ultimately lead the people of East Asia to get rid of colonization by Western powers..."

Before leaving, thousands of words were too late to finish. Sun Wen had just started, and Jiang Zhiqing hurried over and said, "Sir. The boat is about to drive, and the lady is also very worried..."

Sun Wenyi was reluctant to leave. Miyazaki Taotian knew that the ship could not be delayed, so he hurriedly said, "Sir, let's get on the ship first."

"Okay. OK." The sea breeze was slow, and Sun Wen held Miyazaki's hand tightly, but finally let it go.

Miyazaki watched Sun Wen get on the boat. When he was waving goodbye to the cruise ship, a group of ronin appeared on the other side of the dock area. He glanced at him and ran away when the ronin pointed at him and shouted. However, ronin came in from both sides. He was grabbed by the ronin after a few steps. He was pushed to the ground and started to be beaten.

Sun Wen, who had already boarded the cruise ship, was extremely anxious in the first class cabin. When he pointed to the scene below and shouted to save people, Hu Hanmin felt a little worried. He comforted him: "Sir, Miyazaki Jun was just forced into debt by loan sharks, and they would not really hurt him."

"Aren't we rich? Why haven't the money from Miyazaki Hayao paid back yet?" Sun Wen asked in confusion when he saw Miyazaki being pulled up from the ground by the ronin and escorted him out of the dock.

"Sir. The Japanese Bank has frozen the money we have in the bank." Hu Hanmin said, "There are some in hand that can only support the daily expenses within the party. The other money has been deposited on the Shanghai Stock Exchange to trade stocks. Now the stock is rising sharply. Mr. Renjie believes that you must not withdraw from the stock market, otherwise the losses will be more than ten times."

"Oh!" Sun Wen looked at Miyazaki Taotian who was dragged away like a dead dog, and then thought of the current situation within the party. He sighed incredibly. After getting married to Qingling, Charlie Song not only cut off financial support. Years of friendship cannot be restored, but fortunately, there is still support from Zhang Renjie. The Shanghai stock market is now full of favor, otherwise the people around him would have dispersed.

Sun Wen was sighing, and Song Qingling's low voice sounded beside him, "Sir, I just received the telegram. The Chinese people in Honolulu..., what should we do?"

Sun Wen received the telegram and suddenly became stunned when he looked at the words "reject, expel...". He couldn't help but think of the situation when Liang Qichao used his name to recruit all the overseas Chinese in Honolulu as members of the royalist party. However, this time it was more desperate and passive than that time.

"Sir, what should I do?" Song Qingling asked uneasyly. Although the world is big, there is no place for them like him.

"Send a telegram to the Hongmen in Chinatown, San Francisco..." Sun Wen subconsciously said a solution, but he was immediately rejected. Yang Jingcheng's government's war bonds bought the most were American overseas Chinese. It is said that many people sold their property in order to buy bonds. The Hongmen in San Francisco was also completely reorganized with the assistance of the Revival Association. Overseas Chinese are being organized, and the puppet congress operated by Yang Jingcheng and others actually had more than 20 overseas Chinese attendees, which was more than an ordinary provincial congress.

"Send a telegram to Ma Xiang from Hongmen, Canada?" Sun Wen finally thought of a place to go. Ma Xiang followed him during the 1911. Although he left him last year, he was eventually a member of the Chinese Revolutionary Party. "He will definitely welcome us very much." Sun Wen said affirmatively, and then twisted the telegram in his hand into a ball and threw it into the sea breeze.

Katsurao fell down the palace, Masayoshi Matsukata formed the palace, Japan declared war on Germany and Austria, Sun Wen left Japan... This change took place overnight. Yang Rui, who was in the Yin'an Hall in the capital, couldn't help but summon Xie Zhangtai and Zhang Shi to discuss it again to judge what Japan will do next.

"Masayoshi Matsukata is the shortest-minded senior of the 9th Meiji Emperor. His influence and connections are mainly in the financial field. Moreover, from his past experience, he always makes some thankless things every time he goes to the stage. The Japanese chaebol eventually becomes bigger and cannot be separated from him." Xie Zhangtai said. "The failure of this war, the Changshu clan is the culprit. Now Akito Yama Prefecture asks Katsutaro to die in North Korea. In addition, Oyama Iwa is ordered to be buried by the Japanese emperor. These are all ways to gain the sympathy of the people in order to get rid of the crime. But that's not enough. After all, the war is a failure. If this cabinet wants to end the war, it will definitely pay the price for future contracts. The Prime Minister must bear the reputation of traitoring the country..."

"According to what you said, the purpose of the Song Cabinet is mainly to end the war?" Yang Rui somehow thought of Li Hongzhang. Could it be that Song Fang Zhengyi wants to be Li Hongzhang once?

"That's true." Xie Zhangtai replied: "Masayoshi Matsukata still represents the interests of the Japanese chaebol. The last time when Nishitoji Gongwang's cabinet fell, there were rumors in Japan that he would serve as Prime Minister of the cabinet, but in the end, Kitaro came forward to form the cabinet. Now he is supported by the elders and the emperor. I think there is a possibility of being a scapegoat, but why did he become this scapegoat? Then I don't know. I guess there must be other reasons here."

"That's it..." Yang Rui thought. To be honest, he was still not very familiar with the situation in Japanese politics, and Masayoshi Matsukata was also very unfamiliar with it. Not long ago, he thought that Japan was like Russia and Germany, and it was a monarchy government. But the fact is that the Emperor and Zhu Kuan-seok were just a tablet to deceive the people. During Meiji, the vassals restrained each other, and the emperor had a greater influence. Now Daisho came to power, thinking that he had the power, but was manipulated by the chaebol to create a democratic constitutional protection movement. If it weren't for his desires that were consistent with Aitomoto, the Changshu Fanshan Prefecture, who wanted to start a war, he was afraid that he would be driven crazy by the people below.

"Then it seems that Japan wants to end the battlefield war at the minimum cost?" Yang Rui said. "Why is there no pavilion in Nishiyuan Temple?"

"It should be like this. Although Song Fang is a powerful person in his work, he cannot be said to be sleek. In addition, he is a veteran and from the Mossa family, and his relationship with the chaebol is even more close. This person is the best choice that can be accepted by all parties. He now declares war on Germany and Austria to join the Allies. Fortunately, after the European War, he forced our country to return to North Korea with the help of the great powers; and ordered the Japanese army in Zhili to retreat within 20 miles of Tianjin City, that is, he wanted to use the great powers and treaties to protect this force." Xie Zhangtai said.

"The Japanese are really good at making a plan." Yang Rui sneered. However, when he heard the 20-living city of Tianjin again, he curiously said: "What does it mean to not be allowed to garrison in this 20-living city in this 20-living city? I have searched through the Xin Chou Treaty but I didn't see this one. It just said that the forts from the capital to Dagukou must be flattened. From the capital to Shanhaiguan, the great powers must garrison in every place, but if there is no garrison in this 20-living city in Tianjin, I can't garrison in this 20-living city?"

"This requirement is not within the scope of the main text and annexes of the Xinchou Treaty, but in the diplomatic notes submitted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Qing Dynasty by the mission in the year of Renyin (1902). The original text of the note was 'Ban Chinese soldiers from advancing or garrisoning within 20 miles of the troops stationed in Tianjin'. This 'Tianjin army' refers to the barracks established by various countries in Tianjin. Although this note was in the year of Renyin, it was also classified as an annex of the Xinchou Treaty by the great powers. If the Fuxing Army really wanted to enter within 20 miles of the Xinchou Treaty, it would violate the Xinchou Treaty, and the signatories of the treaty were all the great powers, including the United States..."

At dawn, the 2nd Army occupied Tangshan Railway Station and Xugezhuang Railway Station. The Japanese army in Zhili were thus cut into two pieces. I thought that the Japanese army in Tianjin would attack Tangshan with all their might to open the way for the Japanese army to retreat south to Jingdong, but I didn't expect that more than 100,000 Japanese troops outside Tianjin would retreat within 20 miles outside Tianjin. This made the soldiers on the front line feel harshly itchy. Even if the war zone headquarters strictly ordered, the front line troops would rush in and kill the Japanese. Xie Zhangtai meant here that Yang Rui would persuade the army, otherwise he would make a big plan.

Xie Zhangtai's meaning Yang Rui understood. He nodded slightly but said seriously: "Then is my shell counting as a breach of contract?"

"Candy shells?" Xie Zhangtai was a little stunned. He thought of what Yang Rui was going to do and said immediately: "What if he attacked the concession and killed the foreigners? Then the situation is that we are passive. Besides, how much is the shells now? Are you willing to bear it?"

Europe has only started for half a month. Britain, France, and even Russia, the belligerent country, ordered arms from Hubei arsenal due to insufficient arms. The price of saltpeter increased, sulfuric acid increased, and copper material increased. Now the price of artillery shells has increased by almost six times, and it is still rising. Thinking of this, Yang Rui laughed: "The latest contract signed is 62 taels per round, and I am really reluctant to throw it out."

Yang Rui laughed, and Xie Zhangtai laughed too. He was very glad that although Yang Rui had a bad temper, he still had a clear mind: "It's better to do as we discussed before. Make money first in the past few years. When the foreigners are bleeding on the European battlefield, that is, when the unequal treaty is cancelled."

"What should the Japanese army outside Tianjin do?" Yang Rui asked again, "Aren't they afraid of starving to death?"

"If the Japanese army outside Tianjin handed over weapons to the concession authorities, or even volunteered to join the European battlefield, then this game of chess can survive." Xie Zhangtai said an unimaginable method, which only made Yang Rui stunned. He wanted to starve the Japanese devils to death, but he didn't expect that they had this trick.

"Is this possible?" Yang Rui shouted. It was a planned plan to encircle and annihilate all the Japanese army. The General Staff aimed to completely break the backbone of the Japanese army. Soldiers can be re-enlisted if they die, but it is not so easy to rebuild the entire army. After all, senior officers are difficult to cultivate in twenty years. If the Fuxing Army had not been through a long war, and Yang Rui personally imposed some later tactics and strengthened firepower, it would be impossible to fight the Japanese army.

Yang Rui shouted loudly, which scared Xie Zhangtai. He stroked his hand and said, "Don't be excited. From the treaty, as long as those Japanese become British nationality, become British, and then declare that they will participate in the European war immediately, we have no choice."

He said this, and Zhang Shi next to him said: "Sir, the information shows that the Japanese whom Mr. Chong'an said are being implemented. Now the Ministry of Industry has confiscated the Japanese weapons. Japan's Consul General, Yuki Matsuhei, is also discussing the Japanese army's participation in the war with Britain, France and Secret. I believe that these Japanese people will become British, French, and at least their colonists in the next two days.

In Japan, the navy has sent its main ships to the South Pacific to chase and suppress the Spe fleet. According to the secret report received in the afternoon, Japan now wants to completely give up North Korea to retain its troops to defend the Tsushima Strait with all its strength. As for the fortresses of Lushun, Magong and Penghu, it is estimated that the defenders will be ordered to defend until the end of Europe, so as to strive for more benefits under the interference of various countries at that time."

"The Japanese are going to withdraw from North Korea?" The tens of thousands of Japanese troops from Tianjin may not be allowed to remain ten after going to Europe. But the Japanese troops in North Korea must not let them go. One of the fundamental goals of fighting against Japan is to completely destroy the Japanese army.

"It's very likely." Zhang Shi said: "The 5th and 8th divisions withdrawn from Northeast Ji'an have suffered heavy losses. North Korea's two reserve divisions are also extremely weak, but no matter what, these four divisions are the absolute main force of the Japanese army. In the eyes of the Japanese base camp, with them, there is still a glimmer of hope to defend the Tsushima Strait. If these troops and those over-age reserve troops were completely wiped out by us in North Korea, then Tsushima Strait will have no troops to defend."

"What if I asked the Fuxing Army to cease the north of Seoul and let the Korean army attack south? What would happen to the Japanese?" Yang Rui thought of smuggling out the cigarette, and the situation would actually change like this. It was really unexpected. How can the current Japanese army be eliminated in the fortress or in the concession?

"This..." Zhang Shi was not a general staff member after all, and he could only judge the response of the Japanese army from intelligence rather than military perspective. "Sir, this actually depends on whether the Japanese central decision-makers are determined. If they only want to defend the island, then even if the Fuxing Army does not attack south, they will retreat to Busan. Judging from Matsukata Matsushita's previous practice of dealing with things, this person will stick to the end as long as he recognizes what he has done. Many times he is almost blind. I think even if the Fuxing Army stations north of Seoul, he will resolutely withdraw from North Korea. Japan retreats like this, there is another thing that needs to be worried that the southern part of North Korea will be taken down by the North Korean army, which is extremely unfavorable for us to control the entire North Korea. It is best for North Korea to revive the Fuxing Army as the main force."

"It turns out, I mean that." Xie Zhangtai took over the conversation, "If Japan will defend North Korea, you can do what you set out before, but if they really want to retreat, they must quickly occupy the entire territory of North Korea, otherwise the Americans and Seung-man Lee will likely have something to do."

The mellow fragrance of the cigarette remained between his mouth and nose. After taking a few sips, Yang Rui nodded and said, "This is what North Korea does. If the Japanese army is determined to retreat, the 1st Army and the 7th Army immediately occupy the entire territory of North Korea."

After saying that, he turned his head to look at the map of China, his eyes shot from Lushun, North Korea, and Mahjong, and then to Ryukyu, Taiwan, Penghu, and finally back to Tianjin. "If you really want to use this move, it's really..., you have to cut the grass and get rid of the roots. Otherwise, these Japanese troops will most likely become interference troops from Britain, France and other countries in a few years."

Yang Rui said this, looking through the window at Tao Dayong in Tianjin City under the night, he also said to Lieutenant General Lei Yi Town, the commander of the war zone who came to inspect. "Sir, these 100,000 people will be a disaster in Japan. Even if the General Staff is not dead, I will bring people in!"

"Absurd!" Lei Yizhen shouted. Tao Dayong's troops had already crossed the line at noon. The Concession Bureau and the garrisons of various countries were stationed on the line twenty miles outside the city. If it weren't for the timely order of his order, the two sides would definitely fight.

"But we can't watch them run away, right? The soldiers' eyes were red, so how could they run to the foreigners' nest if they couldn't win." Lei Yizhen said absurdly, and Tao Dayong was a little aggrieved. Lei Yizhen is always a general and has great prestige in dealing with people and things. Xu Shuzheng, known as the Beiyang small fan, once commented on the three generals of the Fuxing Army, saying that Qi Qingyuan is tricky, the five elements belong to fire, and he will be tricky and cunning without any gaps. It is extremely difficult to deal with; Lin Wenqian is heavy, the five elements belong to water, and the quietness makes people ignorant. If you are not careful, your life will sink to the bottom of the lake; while Lei Yizhen is stable, the five elements belong to earth. Mountains are awesome, and such opponents seem to be the best to deal with. But if you really want to fight, you have to exchange for your life.

Although Xu Shuzheng was arrogant, his evaluation was basically correct. Lei Yizhen was good at being stable and had prestige. Because of this, all the generals in the army were very convinced by him. His silence at this time made Tao Dayong's heart beat a few times.

"War is just a continuation of politics. It's not that you're so angry that you'll have to fight. The country is a whole. The strategy is all in the Prime Minister's Office and the General Staff. If the European War does not start this time, can we fight like this?" Lei Yizhen felt that this matter cannot be taken lightly. If the Revival Army and the garrisons of various countries have to fight, the current situation will inevitably reverse.

"Adminton!" Lei Yizhen shouted after he finished speaking, causing all the division commanders to look over.

"Yes!" The adjutant outside the house ran in and looked at the room full of generals and schoolmen at a loss.

"General Tao worked hard on the front line overnight. Before I came to the front line, His Highness and the Prime Minister wanted to meet him. Tell us about the war on the front line. Take Chief Tao back to the capital." Lei Yizhen ordered, "I will take over his work for the time being."
