On April 16, the Japanese peace agreement officially signed a peace treaty with China. As soon as the news of 1(1) came out, the whole country caused a sensation, and the people of China and North Korea were extremely excited.

The additional clauses of the peace treaty clearly stipulate that China and Japan use Chunchuan and Lushun as the armistice areas respectively, and the troops of both sides will immediately stop exchanging fire. The Japanese side must complete all troops evacuation from North Korea within one month. During this period before the evacuation, the troops of both sides will not allow any friction.

The return of prisoners from both China and Japan is subject to Japan's first compensation payment, and China and Japan will perform the matter of handing over prisoners within the prescribed truce. However, China additionally requires that the Japanese side must release all captured officers first on the day the truce takes effect and send them back to North Korea King Lee Hee and other royal members.

Regarding the handover work in southern North Korea, Lushun, Taiwan and Tsushima Island, administrative officials will first conduct official handover, and after all Japanese armed forces evacuate, the Chinese army will take over. All this handover work must be completed within one month. Once the deadline is exceeded, China has the right to take military intervention measures.

When Lu Zongyu and Prince Shinai Fushimiya, chairman of the Japanese peace delegation, signed the text of each other's peace treaty, the two were completely different. Lu Zongyu had to sigh that this was the first time that he had signed a peace treaty with a foreign country since he became a diplomat, and it was a diplomatic activity that he represented the country and nation.

In just a few hours, the news of Japan's surrender and peace talks spread throughout China, and people ran around the streets and alleys to inform them. I was afraid that such great news would not be able to tell people all over the world.

At about 12 noon, the Chinese and Japanese troops gathered near Chunchuan and each received an order from their superiors to stop the battle.

Military radio broadcasts the news of Japan's surrender and peace talks in a loop. The soldiers who stood on the front line were all proud. It was they who defeated the Japanese and won a rare honor for the motherland and nation.

Not long after, Japanese Army Minister Uehara Yosaki and General Staff Chief Hague Yoshiro, led North Korea King Lee Hee and others to Pyongyang after the emergency repair and connection of the Pinghan Railway were completed. Cai E had just set up a front-line staffing department in Pyongyang three days ago, and others were in Pyongyang.

It was four o'clock in the afternoon when Uehara Yuzusaki and others arrived in Pyongyang. Cai E sent a staff officer to the train station to pick him up. Officials from the delegation of the Provisional Government of the North Korean Provisional Government in Pyongyang also rushed to the train station to welcome the North Korean King Lee Hee. Many North Korean civilians in Pyongyang heard the news and gathered outside the train station very early to welcome the king's return.

The staff officer represented Cai E to say hello to the King of Korea, and the Koreans arranged for Lee Xi's aftermath work on their own. He led a group of Japanese out of the other side of the railway station and headed to the frontier staff of the Command.

When North Korea King Lee Hee walked out of the railway station surrounded by a group of temporary government officials, the people gathered outside immediately knelt down and saluted, and many remaining elders who were loyal to the Korean royal family burst into tears. Seeing this scene, Lee Hee was filled with emotion, feeling sad for decades of enslavement of the country, and was also relieved by these subjects who were still loyal to him. He was really mixed with emotion and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Under the escort of North Korean soldiers and Chinese military police, Lee Hee and officials from the Provisional Government went to the Provisional Government Office Building.

Home Minister Li Wei-jin has arranged a ceremony to cleanse the king. At the same time, the provisional government also needs the king to personally preside over the government meeting and authorize the provisional government to become a formal government.

At the same time, in the front-line staff hall of the Commander-in-Chi E met Uehara Yusaki and Hasegawa Yoshiro.

Although they were enemies on the battlefield, as both the national military chief and the highest commander of the battlefield, everyone still maintained a rational identity etiquette. Before signing the surrender letter, Cai E praised the Japanese soldiers for their tenacious battles on the battlefield and expressed his desire that "the purpose of war is peace."

Uehara Yosaki and Hasegawa Yodo bowed to Cai E with strict etiquette, expressing their sincere admiration for Cai E's superb military strategic deployment, and also echoed Cai E's statement that "the purpose of war is peace."

At about 6 o'clock in the evening, Hasegawa Yoshiroshi signed a surrender letter on behalf of the entire Japanese army. The Japanese did not stop for a long time, and even did not stay at the dinner party. They took the train back to Seoul in shame with the book of surrender.

After handling the simple ceremony of accepting the Japanese surrender, Cai E rushed to the North Korean Provisional Government Office Building to attend the government meeting chaired by the North Korean king.

At the beginning of the meeting, under the witness of representatives of both China and North Korea, the orthodox status of King Lee Hee of North Korea was restored. This was a series of classical rituals of the Korean royal family. Although the conditions were simple, they could be strictly followed at any step. Then, Lee Hee, wearing the old Korean king's costume, retreated and put on a new Korean king's dress and appeared in the venue again. The new king's service was imitating the dress style of the Chinese head of state and the Japanese emperor, adopting a style of combining Chinese and Western styles, while also retaining some of the characteristics of North Korean Zhouyi.

Lee Hee, wearing a new dress, walked onto the rostrum and solemnly announced that the Kingdom of Korea was officially restored, and the constitutional monarchy began to be implemented today, abolished the kneeling ceremony and the old royal decree, and authorized the provisional government to promulgate the formal Constitution.

Although Li Xi had ascended the throne and became emperor before Japan's annexation of the territory, many officials of the Provisional Government had to condescend to call themselves kings considering that Wu Shaoting himself and Chinese official documents at all levels were called "King of Korea".

Now that the country has been restored and the status of the state leader has been preserved, it is already a gratifying thing. Moreover, Wu Shaoting once made a promise that as long as the North Korean people are willing to support Li Xi to proclaim themselves, China will never interfere in North Korea's internal affairs. There are more state affairs to deal with. After the Japanese army withdrew, it will not be too late to make a long-term plan.

When holding the last part of the meeting, North Korean King Lee Hee expressed his gratitude to the Chinese officials present in the form of an edict, saying that he would always remember China's grace to help North Korea restore its country, and announced that China and North Korea have become friendly and always become an alliance. In addition to the edict, he also personally distributed the "Hidden Kingdom Hibiscus Flower Medal of Honor" that had been prepared to Cai E and a group of senior Chinese bureaucrats to demonstrate the contributions of Cai E and others to North Korea.
