    Zai stood respectfully, "My son thinks that although the second brother's words are good, there are still some disadvantages that have not been considered. ""/""/First, although the war between the two countries has temporarily stopped, the emperor  The kings of Maji and Japan did not issue a formal truce edict to the world. If we, China, talk about it, the people will not understand it, and all businesses will not prosper. Especially in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces, there are many people doing business in Japan.  , and even more confused, and dare not do business with Japanese merchants, which will be detrimental to Japan's post-war recovery, and even more detrimental to our soldiers stationed in Japan; secondly, we call the place governed by facts our  When the Qing Dynasty belonged to the territory, the people were resettled and formally returned to the holy pilgrimage, which was not the result of culture and education. Therefore, the ministers thought that they should send people from the Qing Dynasty across the sea to the east to educate most of the Japanese people in Japan, so that the Japanese people could  Especially children at a young age, all the teachers will learn from my Chinese classics. If this is the case, when these children grow up in the future, they will only care about the Chinese Empire and will never care about the old master."

    "One more thing, if such a huge land is exclusively owned by the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that Western countries will see it and covet it. Therefore, I suggest that I can be a little polite  ?¡±

    "Emperor Ama, my son does not take the words of my fifth brother seriously. At present, all the Japanese land in our Qing Dynasty was obtained with the blood of our Green Camp soldiers. How can we give it to the Western countries out of thin air?"

    The emperor didn't speak, just looked at Zai, indicating that he would answer, "I believe that the so-called courtesy to Western countries is that, on the one hand, it can be more beneficial to the country's commercial interests in Japan in exchange for the other country's indifference; on the other hand, it can also  This will pave the way for the Qing Dynasty to carry out better planning in Japan in the future." He said, "I was recently ordered to hold a consultation with the Japanese envoy, and was able to obtain a detailed understanding of the terrain, people, and population of Japan.  According to Kotomi's observation, it goes without saying that the land of Hanshin is Japan's largest economic center. Others such as Shikoku, Kyushu Islands, and Yamaguchi, Hyogo, Tottori, and Shimane prefectures on Honshu Island all have offshore ports.  It is suitable to use it to communicate with the Qing Dynasty and other countries in the West. If all can be used, my son thinks that it will be like opening up a new source of wealth that will never be exhausted. It can be said to be a huge profit for our Qing Dynasty to dominate Asia.  And no harm done.¡±

    The emperor nodded secretly, but there were some regrets in his heart. Zai's constructive idea was perfect, but because he was young and didn't have much experience in running errands, there was still a lot to criticize in his words. Sure enough, no wait.  After he finished thinking about this, he heard Zai Ying say, "If we go by what my fifth brother said, and it's not as good as opening up a new source of wealth, I'm afraid I, the Qing Dynasty, will spend tens of millions of taels of silver and invest it in Japan. Emperor Ama,  Last year, my son was ordered to serve in the army and went to Japan in person. What he saw was that Japan was dilapidated and dilapidated everywhere. The people didn't even have enough food to eat and clothes to cover their bodies. How could they develop culture and education? How many more troops would the imperial court have to send?  How can we educate all the people in such a huge land and make them turn to the Holy Dynasty? Isn't it enough to just throw all the money and money compensated by the Japanese for military expenses there?"

    "Your Majesty, I also feel that what Fifth Elder Brother said is untrue. I have been to Japan, and even the people in the country are scattered. They often live in the mountains and are inaccessible. If we say that we can lead these people to the plains, I am afraid that it will be a mistake.  It¡¯s a big problem that cannot be solved in hundreds of years.¡±

    "There are indeed many things that Fifth Brother said that are not well thought out, but they cannot be ignored. Let's talk about culture and education, right? No matter how big the trouble and difficulty is, we must continue to deal with it. Since ancient times, we have conquered the world immediately, and there has been no immediate solution.  All in the world. Instead of relying on the merits of civil administration, how can we still rely on those rude and uncivilized Green Camp soldiers? If they don¡¯t cause me trouble, I will burn incense and recite Buddha¡¯s name!¡±

    As soon as the emperor said this, everyone smiled unconsciously, "Among you people, Li Hongzao can see through this matter. Why? It's because he has read a lot and is one of the few geniuses in our dynasty! Li Hongzao  , do you think what I said is correct?"

    "What the emperor said is true. If you want to make" He almost blurted out the word "foreign race". Remembering that this dynasty means foreigners living in this dynasty, this word is a huge taboo, and hurriedly said, "If you want to make the Japanese people willingly obey, you must  The king's way is not to be gentle, and the art of domineering is not to be used, but I believe that this can only be used as a supplementary way, and it can never be practiced in the right way."

    The emperor cursed secretly, what an old fox, how can he not offend anyone?  "Did you hear that? Li Hongzao is the leader of Qingliu. Isn't he less knowledgeable than you? To promote enlightenment in Japan, let alone spend no money, no matter how much money is spent, as long as this matter can be carried out to the end, I will be unequivocal!  If the common people, whether Chinese or foreign, do not sincerely support you, conquering them by force alone will have no effect at all.

    At this point, he paused, as if he felt that the topic was going a bit far, so he pulled it back, "As for the second elder brother and the fifth elder brother, I think we might as well take the middle. Negotiations are still necessary. My bottom line is not  Change, and follow these conditions and other mushrooms. By February 21, if the negotiations fail in the end, they will launch an attack and beat Japan hard outside the negotiation table. However, the war does not need to be too big.The Japanese army was divided into two waves. One group attacked Kyoto and stopped advancing after taking this place. The other group turned back and captured Hiroshima, Okayama, and Hyogo that had not been fought in the previous battle and were still in the hands of the Japanese.  Let¡¯s talk about winning all the remaining prefectures and Yamaguchi Prefecture.  When the time comes, the Japanese want to talk, but I won¡¯t pay attention to him!  "

    " On the other hand, these towns that have been captured by our army have begun to resettle the people. I think that if you two brothers are on duty at the Military Aircraft Department, you might as well send one to deal with matters over there in Japan.  Brother, come over." At this point, he asked, "Prince Gong, do you have a suitable candidate?"

    "My younger brother thought that the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother suddenly became enlightened and asked the emperor to judge them."

    The emperor has basically determined that Yi is definitely on Zaiying's side. Otherwise, Zai and Zai, the two backbones of the Fifth Brother's party, will not be squeezed out of the capital. However, this goes without saying.  Okay, I¡¯ll let the fourth child go, but I can¡¯t just let him go alone. He¡¯s talented but not moral. He might cause trouble when he gets to Japan. Let¡¯s take a look and see who can intervene.  Warn him?"

    "Xu Tong, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, is the master of the fourth elder brother. He is of upright character and a scholar of preaching. I think it is appropriate to send him to take care of the errands."

    "Okay, let Xu Tong go with Zai." The emperor looked at Zai, but he still looked unmoved, and he admired him for being able to calm down.  He immediately decided, "Let's just settle this matter."

    "yes."

    ¡°Zaiying and Zailiu please, everyone else, please kneel down.¡±

    Yi and others knelt down and came out. The emperor waved, turned around and took the two young men into the Nuan Pavilion. He sat cross-legged on the imperial tower with a calm expression and looked at them for a while, "Fifth elder brother?"

    "My son is here."

    "Zaiying is your brother. Even if there are things that are not true in official matters, you should not criticize them like this. You need to save some face for others so that we can meet each other in the future." He said, "I don't want you brothers to die.  One day when we marched into the military base, we made a fuss in front of me." After talking about Zai, let's talk about Zai Ying again, "You may not do everything right. Brother, brother, brother, brother, brother, brother, first of all, you are the brother.  Only by being a "friend" can you demand respect from others. Moreover, playing the right words in court is not a place for getting angry. What does it mean to be "bought with blood," and how can it be given to Western countries out of thin air? "

    The two brothers looked at each other and made their own plans in their minds, "The Military Aircraft Department is the first central court in the court and the place where government orders are issued. The whole country is watching every word and every move. Do you believe it or not? You haven't returned home yet. What you said  Then all the words were spread outside? What will the envoys from various countries think when they hear your words?" He said, "Just tell me. If I hear your words, I will definitely think that China wants to be alone.  Swallowing a large area of ??Japanese territory, we will not hesitate to go to war with Britain, the United States and other countries for this! If you make such a voice, you will die without mercy!"

    Zaiying disagreed. He had studied in the United States for many years and knew very well that the use of troops by Western countries was not something that a king or president could do with just a word like China. Moreover, after the seven, eleven, and twenty-three years of Xianfeng's three  A series of external land and naval battles have made Western countries realize China's tyranny and bravery from the bottom up. Unless it is a last resort and the situation is insurmountable, the use of troops is just a verbal phrase used by these people to scare China.  It won't be implemented.  But it was the emperor who spoke, so he still fell to the ground to apologize.

    The emperor waved his hands and didn't want to say more, "That's it. When you are on errands, listen more and talk less. Zai, I'm not worried about your dull temperament. Only Zai Ying, don't always show your teeth and claws. You were so calm back then."  What? Why can¡¯t you see it at all?¡±

    Zaiying smiled slightly, "There is a saying among the people that you should be arrogant when you are old and be steady when you are young. Isn't this what my son is like?"

    The emperor didn't particularly like him being such a talker, so he didn't want to say anything in front of a few servants. He waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to kneel down and leave.

    The Japanese don¡¯t want the Chinese to be so resolute and are a little confused.

    Before coming to China this time, the emperor and his ministers had discussed that in addition to compensation, land cession would also become inevitable. What we need to do now is to reduce the land ceded as much as possible.  After several imperial meetings, the emperor finally accepted the suggestions of his ministers. From the map, the north-south boundary is located at 13126¡ä east longitude and 33¡ã44¡ä north latitude.  The east-west boundary is based on Sasebo, Kurume, Hita and Kusu in Nagasaki Prefecture, Saga Prefecture, Fukuoka Prefecture and Oita Prefecture.

    This is already extremely painful for the emperor, but unexpectedly, the Chinese are holding on to the existing land and want to attack Nara and Kyoto before the deadline?  These two places are different from the Hanshin area. They are the cultural centers of Japan. Compared with the current capital Tokyo, they have more traditional significance. Once lost, the responsibility will be heavy and even moreThe important thing is, who knows if the Chinese will stop there?  What if we continue to use troops?  This is only the situation of the Southern Route Army. If the Northern Route Army takes advantage of the situation and takes Tokyo, it will only be a matter of time, right?
