Chapter 203 Prince Yanping

"This is impossible! How can the Empire of Japan negotiate with the rebels!" Kawakami's roar is a little strong. He is still defending the so-called legal principle and regards Zhang Jun as a rebel.

"Then, we can only admit that Taiwan and North Korea are the land of the Qing Dynasty." Hirofumi Ito said coldly. If Japan wants to negotiate with the court of the Qing Dynasty, it must admit that Taiwan and North Korea are from the Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, diplomatic negotiations cannot be discussed.

General Arikawa, the chief of staff, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the army has been in contact with Zhou Charter."

"How's it going?"

"He demanded that the Japanese troops of North Korea and Taiwan surrender unconditionally! In addition, 100 million taels of silver will be compensated for the loss. Qichuan Gong's voice trembled a little.

"Nonsense!" Kawakami shouted: "The Japanese army can be broken and will never surrender!" Want money, delusion!"

Japan's economy has been dragged down by this war. The compensation of 100 million taels of silver is equivalent to beating Japan back before the Meiji Restoration!

A bodyguard hurried into the conference room and saluted Emperor Meiji.

"What happened?" Emperor Meiji asked impatiently.

"His Majesty the Emperor!" The bodyguard's face was pale: "Zhang Jun's Eastern fleet, with Zhenyuan as its flagship, arrived in Okinawa this morning, and Zhang Jun's marines landed in Okinawa! The defenders were caught off guard, and Zhang Jun had entered Shuli City!"

Emperor Meiji collapsed in his seat and his mind was blank.

After Cai Tinggan captured Penghu, he divided the fleet into two. The Western fleet with Dingyuan as the flagship led ten warships, led by deputy commander Ding Ruchang, went to Xigang, blocked the Xigang waterway, and trapped the Japanese southern fleet in the port. Xigang is a deep-water port and a good port, but every good port has a shortcoming - narrow waterways. The huge ship with a displacement of 7,000 tons is like a sea fortress, guarding the exit of the waterway. The commander of the Southern Fleet knew that in order to break through the blockade, he launched several strong attacks on the Eastern Fleet. As a result, a cruiser was sunk by a huge cannon in Dingyuan, and two were seriously injured and stranded. The southern fleet was no longer able to fight back and had to stay in Xigang at its fate.

Zhangjun naval commander Cai Tinggan personally led Zhenyuan as the flagship Eastern Fleet, with 12 warships and marine brigades, and went straight to Okinawa, that is, Ryukyu in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty.

For the sake of the war, Zhou Charter wants to hurt the Japanese! Just fighting in Taiwan and North Korea, the Japanese can't feel the pain! We should ignite the war to Ryukyu, and even go further to Kyushu Island in Japan! The Japanese nation has always been afraid of the strong. Only when it hurts him will he willingly kneel at your feet!

Okinawa is an undefed archipelago. The Japanese never expected that Zhang Jun would go to war on the Japanese mainland. In such a large Okinawa, there is only a garrison of more than 500 troops. Cai Ting led the fleet and rushed to the main island of Okinawa. The Marines rushed into Shuri Castle, the capital of Okinawa, almost without a bloody blade, and raised the wolf flag of the Zhang army on the top of the city.

At this time, even if Japan wants to fight back Okinawa with all its strength, it is difficult to do it. There are no large warships in Japan. The Eastern Fleet with more than a dozen cruisers has fully controlled the sea power. The troop carriers from Kyushu Island to Okinawa can't break through the blockade of the Zhangjun Fleet at all.

Since the 17th century, after 200 years of operation, Japan has incorporated Ryukyu into its territory and changed its name to Okinawa.

But Zhang Jun took away Ryukyu within a day!

This is the first time in the history of Japan that foreign troops have set foot on the mainland of Japan! Even the Mongolians who swept Europe and Asia did not touch the edge of Japan.

And this actually happened today when Japan ranks among the world powers!

The generals and ministers in the conference room, like Emperor Meiji, felt desperate.

The so-called strength brought by the Meiji Restoration turned out to be just a dream.

"Mr. Ito, please try to negotiate with Zhou Charter and bring Okinawa back anyway!" Emperor Meiji said a sentence with all his strength.

"Yes!" Ito Hirofumi said, "However, Your Majesty, Zhou Charter not only wants Taiwan and North Korea, but also wants 100 million taels of silver. He wants to establish his own independent kingdom with silver..." Hirofumi Ito can't go on. Emperor Meiji has fainted in his chair.

......

Yanping County Ancestral Hall, Southern Army Command.

Three days ago, after the Japanese army seized the ancestral hall symbolizing the supreme ruler of Taiwan at a heavy cost, Nokihime moved his headquarters from Jianshan.

The statue of Zheng Chenggong is enshrined in the ancestral hall.

In the eyes of the Chinese, Zheng Chenggong is a hero, but at the same time, he is also the separatist of the country.

However, the separat skillfully took advantage of the Han national hatred of the Manchu to make Taiwan's split from mainland China reasonable. The Chinese, who have always pursued great unification, not only did not condemn him because of his separatist acts, but also regarded him as the god of Taiwan and the national hero of China.

For 200 years, General Jinghai Shi Lang, who really included Taiwan in China's territory, was portrayed as a sinister and cunning court eagle dog by folk art novels.

This shows that in the minds of the Han people, the Man-Han defense is beyond territorial integrity.

The Han people with a sense of cultural superiority cannot tolerate the barbarian people from the north to become their emperors! They would rather worship a separatist in a peaceful corner than worship under the dragon robe of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Even the warships of the Qing Dynasty broke through the independent kingdom of Zheng's descendants, and the country achieved real unification. However, among the people, they sighed with regret for the failure of Zheng's descendants.

Until the 20th century, some people still regarded the great achievement of Emperor Kangxi as a ruthless trampling on Han culture.

The Chinese have created a 5,000-year glorious civilization, but they have also left a deep national gap on the land of China.

Nogi Xidian smiled coldly at the statue of Zheng Chenggong.

In his eyes, Zheng Chenggong, like him, is a loser.

They can't occupy and conquer Taiwan!

Taiwan, a beautiful island, is destined to be inseparable from mainland China, even if it has been free overseas for decades.

In the direction of Chikan Tower, the sound of gunfire and shouting gradually subsided. This shows that there is another Japanese death squad, all of which fell downstairs.

Three days have been, and such battles have begun over and over again. Every time, it began with the crazy and desperate shous of the Japanese army and ended with the death of the Japanese army.

Noriki himself doesn't remember how many times he has organized such a senseless charge.

He only remembered that a colonel captain cried and reported to him that one of his regiments had all died downstairs. After the report, the joint captain silently walked behind the Yanping County Temple, faced the northeast, drew his knife and died by caesarean section.
