Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Very well, thank you His Majesty for the gift. There is an old Chinese saying: 'If you receive reward without merit, you will have restless sleep and food.' His Majesty must have asked me to do something for giving me such a valuable gift. Is it something? If the matter is too big for me to handle, how can I have the face to accept this gift?"

Matsumoto Yunqing laughed loudly, and said: "Is there anything in this world that Shuai Lin can't do? Let's go and talk in the house." Lin Yuan then asked to send Princess Yunlan and her daughter to the posthouse After resting, he and Matsumoto Yunqing went back to the outpost, Lin Yuan asked the guards to go out, only he and Matsumoto Yunqing were left in the room, Lin Yuan then said: "Now we can talk about the confidential things?"

Matsumoto Yunqing also recovered his seriousness and said: "I have two main things, the first thing: Prime Minister Ito hopes to restore diplomatic relations between Japan and China, and if you allow, we will open a consulate in Fengtian, and your country can also Set up a consulate in Tokyo."

Lin Yuan thought: "If we have a consulate in Japan, we will have a base for intelligence." So Lin Yuan nodded in agreement, and then asked, "What's the second thing?"

Matsumoto Yunqing took out a document from the bag beside him and handed it to Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan took it over and saw that it was the "Japan-Korea Protection Agreement" that Shen Wanqing had shown him. Matsumoto Yunqing He said, "Mr. Lin Yuan, take a look at this first."

Lin Yuan scanned it and said, "What do you want me to do?"

Matsumoto Yunqing said: "I hope that Mr. Lin Yuan will not interfere in the affairs between us and North Korea."

Lin Yuan sneered, and said: "North Korea is a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. Your country has blatantly occupied it for two years, and now you want to take North Korea as your own in the form of a treaty. How do you think I can accept it?"

Matsumoto Yunqing smiled and said: "Even if you disagree, you don't have the strength to drive the Japanese army out of North Korea, but if you agree, you still have a lot of benefits."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Benefits? What are the benefits?"

Matsumoto Yunqing replied: "First of all, our Japanese side withdrew the Japanese troops on the border by [-] kilometers, and now our two sides are at war on the border." Matsumoto Yunqing pointed to the outside with his finger, and then said: " Have you seen it? There are so many troops stationed outside, people eat horses and feed them, and it costs a lot of money every day. We have withdrawn the troops by [-] kilometers, and you have saved a lot of money."

"Secondly, we agreed to open the commercial trade between China and North Korea. The tariffs will be negotiated and agreed by both of us. I know that the business in Northeast China under your rule is very prosperous. Now we open the North Korean market to you. Isn't it very beneficial to you?"

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "These things are big things. I can't make a decision right now. You need to give me some time. Let's talk here again in a day. I'll give you an answer then."

Matsumoto Yunqing agreed, and the two sides went back separately. Lin Yuan went to see Princess Yunlan first. As soon as the two met, before they could speak, Princess Yunlan's tears flowed down, crying while crying, Lin Yuan watched Seeing her thin shoulders shrugged pitifully, he couldn't help but gently hugged her in his arms, and comforted: "Don't cry, it's okay."

Princess Yunlan cried for a while, then asked softly: "It's been more than two years, brother Tang Fan is married, right?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "This pair of little mandarin ducks still have an unforgettable relationship." So Lin Yuan smiled and said, "No."

Princess Yunlan showed joy when she heard this, and said coquettishly: "You are lying, he is so old, how could he not get married?"

Lin Yuan was silent for a while, and said leisurely: "I once made the sea difficult for water."

Princess Yunlan smiled sweetly, and then asked: "The Japanese will never send us back for no reason. They must want you to do something, right?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Of course, I will tell you this matter. You can't tell anyone, not even your mother. The Japanese want to annex North Korea, so let me not intervene."

Princess Yunlan thought for a while and said, "It's definitely not worth such a big price based on me and the queen mother. They must have given you other benefits, right?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Princess Yunlan is really smart." Knowing about her and Tang Fan, Lin Yuan regarded her as one of his own, and did not hide her, so he said, "The Japanese gave me a prescription. There are two conditions, first: the troops stationed at the border retreat [-] kilometers; second: open the North Korean market.”

Upon hearing this, Princess Yunlan asked, "Then did you agree?"

Lin Yuan replied: "I intend to agree."

Princess Yunlan said without thinking, "You must not agree, there are all traps!"

Lin Yuan asked, "What's the trap?"

Princess Yunlan said: "So what if the army retreats fifty kilometers? Now that North Korea has built a smooth road to the border, it only took us two hours to get here from Pyongyang. It can rush back to the border, but China, whether it is transferring troops from Shengjing or Jilin, is very slow."

"Opening the market is even more dangerous. The Japanese have grown a lot of opium in North Korea, and there are several opium factories. They will definitely bring in opium as a commodity. Also, in the factories opened by the Japanese in North Korea, the workers They are all like slaves, so their production costs are very low, and the prices of their products are naturally low. I don’t think your products may be able to compete with Japanese products.”

Lin Yuan laughed loudly after hearing this, and said: "How can the little devil's small thoughts escape my eyes? I know how many times they fart when they poke their buttocks! Don't worry, these seem to be given to me by them. They set a trap, but the little devils don't know that they are setting a trap for themselves."

Princess Yunlan looked at Lin Yuan curiously, and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Let's talk about retreating [-] kilometers first. With the combat effectiveness of my troops, they gave me a depth of [-] kilometers, which is enough for me to build ten forward bases. These [-] kilometers are enough to support me all the way to Pyongyang."

"Let's talk about the market and trade in the future. You have stayed in Japan for too long and don't know our situation. I am doing business with foreigners. My products are basically unique in the world. Foreigners can only Buying from me, the people in the Northeast are used to our good things, and they must be dismissive of the little devil's things, and their products are not a threat to me at all."

Yun Lan nodded in surprise, and Lin Yuan said: "Okay, let's not say more, you go back to Fengtian first, and meet Tang Fan first, and then I don't care whether you stay or you go to Ryukyu together."

Yun Lan smiled shyly, and Lin Yuan sent them back to Fengtian. The next day, Lin Yuan agreed to Matsumoto Yunqing's request, and Matsumoto Yunqing said with a smile: "Shall we use a contract to write down the results of our negotiations?" ?”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "The little devil is still thinking of setting me up. If these things fall on the paper and are stabbed out by the little devil, it's no wonder that the king of Korea and the people don't hate me." Lin Yuan then said : "I suggest that our contract should be signed by the following specific departments. The withdrawal of troops should be handed over to the military, and the opening of the market should be handed over to the commercial department."

Matsumoto Yunqing had no choice but to agree, the two sides ended the talks, and the rest was for the officials of both sides to discuss the specific details, and there was no need for Lin Yuan to ask, the time soon came to February [-]th, Lin Yuan led the aircraft carrier battle group, Set off for Petropavlovsk, the last military port of the Russian army in the Far East.
