Everyone looked at Shiba Goro and no one mentioned how to deal with Shiba Goro.

At present, the entire cabinet really does not dare to take action against Wanwan.

Two of the country's elite divisions were completely destroyed, dealing a heavy blow to Japan.

They also lost two heavy artillery brigades. Their strength was in the navy, and the army only had so much.

Half of the Japanese Army's power is gone.

The key enemies suffered little loss, and their numbers kept growing. How could they fight?

The cabinet was afraid that if they sent another 200,000 troops and still failed, the situation would be really stagnant and they would have to step down.

=And the other side is also very cowardly and just refuses to confront your navy head-on.

No matter how powerful your navy is, you can't reach the shore.

In the end, you still rely on the army.

Once the enemy's army becomes strong, you will be unable to do anything to them.

At most, they can only cause some damage.

The Beiyang regime was different. Its army and navy were incompetent and could be easily defeated.

Therefore, everyone agreed to abandon the strategy of attacking Taiwan.

So he immediately called the Chinese ambassador to China, Hioki Masushi.

Let him sign as soon as possible.

Hioki Masu did not dare to be careless and immediately went to find Yuan Shikai.

When Yuan Datou learned that Hioki Yoshimi came for the treaty, he was still hesitant.

As a result, he was shocked to hear Hioki Masu say that Japan was preparing to recruit another 50 army soldiers, and that two fleets were heading to Qingdao and ready to go to Tianjin at any time.

It is obvious that they want to use force to coerce.

This made Yuan Datou very scared.

Looking at Yuan Datou, whose psychological defenses had been broken, Hioki Yoshi took the initiative to say: "We have objections to the 21 treaties proposed by the Beiyang government, and we are willing to give up ceding Fujian.

Only the sovereignty of Qingdao will be exercised, and other contents remain unchanged.

President Yuan, this is our Japan’s last bottom line. If you disagree, we can only go to war.

By that time, the whole country will be against you, and you, President Yuan, will not be able to become emperor, and you may not even be able to keep your presidency.

You should think about it carefully.

Moreover, once President Yuan signs the contract today, we in Japan will guarantee to fully support your ascension to the throne and recognize your status internationally."

1.2 Upon hearing that Fujian would not be ceded, Yuan Datou felt relieved.

This jump was the most unacceptable to him, but he could tolerate all other treaties.

After much consideration, Yuan Shikai decided that if he wanted to become emperor, he had to sign this treaty.

What if the Japanese army really attacks?

After all, he only controls most of the warlords in the country, but the other half are acting independently.

Once the war starts, the position will definitely be lost.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Shikai made up his mind. After all, if he wanted to become emperor, he had to rely on Japan.

When Hioki Masu saw Yuan Shikai nodded in agreement, he was overjoyed, but he did not show it on his face.

Instead, he calmly asked his secretary to bring the treaty for Yuan Shikai to sign.

Yuan Datou was a little surprised to see that the other party was so fully prepared, but since he had agreed to the conditions, he signed the contract.

As soon as the treaty was signed, Hioki Yoshi hurriedly took his leave, fearing that if he left too late, Yuan Shikai would go back on his word.

Hioki Masuteki wanted the cabinet to be restored.

At the same time, Japanese newspapers in Kyoto also announced the treaty as soon as possible, causing an uproar across the country.

At this time, Shen Hao got up from the arms of the Mingshi sisters.

Looking at the rewards on the system, Shen Hao was a little surprised.

Shen Hao did not expect that the daughters of Akashi Motojiro would receive quite a lot of rewards.

Moreover, Akashi Motojiro was a nobleman in Japan.

This is getting interesting.

Just as Shen Hao was looking at the system reward happily, Chu Yunfei knocked on the door impatiently.

"General Shen, it's bad. Yuan Shikai and the Japanese pirates signed a treaty of twenty-one articles."

Shen Hao was stunned. He didn't expect that Japan would go to Yuan Shikai to negotiate at this time.

Shen Hao said: "Okay, I got it, the sky won't fall."

429. Appoint Vice President and Marshal of the Navy and Army

When Shen Hao woke up, it was already noon. He looked at the sleeping Akashi sisters and got up by himself.

When I arrived at the living room, Chu Yunfei, Yu Qingfeng, Ma Feng, Zhang Mazi and others were all there.

Then, Chu Yunfei said: "General, the Japanese First Fleet and Second Fleet have all retreated."

Shen Hao was stunned and asked in confusion: "Why would the Japanese fleet retreat for no reason?"

Everyone smiled slightly, and Chu Yunfei slowly explained what happened last night and this morning.

"General, after you rested last night, Zhang Mazi led a reinforced battalion of cavalry to raid the Japanese headquarters.

Destroyed the Japanese headquarters.

Not only that, he also cut off the head of the Japanese Army Commander-in-Chief Shiba Goro.

When we learned that we had successfully destroyed the enemy's command system, we immediately launched a full-scale attack."

"Now the two Japanese divisions have been completely destroyed.

A total of nearly 30,000 enemy troops were killed, and more than 60,000 prisoners of war were captured."

Shen Hao was stunned for a moment and looked at Chu Yunfei and others in surprise.

I just slept for one night and the war is over?

Two Japanese divisions were destroyed and 6 Japanese soldiers were captured.

Shen Hao was extremely surprised at Chu Yunfei's performance.

Shen Hao could not have imagined that these people were so powerful. Although he knew that the Japanese army was just average in World War I, it should not be so weak.

I couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "Great! You really impressed me. You did a great job. I congratulate you."

Everyone was very happy to receive Shen Hao's praise. This feeling made them happier than winning a battle.

Chu Yunfei said: "General, the main credit for defeating the Japanese army so smoothly this time and capturing 6 Japanese soldiers is Zhang Mazi.

He is the first to contribute.

Without his night raid on the Japanese headquarters, we wouldn't have achieved what we have now."

Shen Hao nodded and said: "Very good, you are all great, Zhang Mazi must be credited for this time"

Zhang Mazi hurriedly said modestly: "No, no, no, it's all because of General Chu's good command. The fighter planes were arranged by General Chu. We are just executing them."

Shen Hao waved his hand and asked Zhang Mazi to sit down and said with a smile: "Zhang Mazi, you don't have to be modest, this time the first credit is yours and no one can take it away from you.

Also, Yunfei, you should immediately count the achievements of this battle.

And the casualties on our side.

Make a detailed report for me and I will reward you according to your merits.

As for the dead soldiers, they must be compensated. We cannot let the soldiers bleed and their families shed tears."

Hearing this, everyone was very excited.

"Thank you, General Shen"

Then, Chu Yunfei said again: "General, after Yuan Datou and Japan signed a 21-article treaty.

The two Japanese fleets also suddenly withdrew. Will this pose a danger to Guangdong and Guangxi?"

Shen Hao said: "There must be something going on here that we don't know about. No matter what, we must keep an eye on them first."

Chu Yunfei said: "When you woke up, I had already telegraphed the news here to Zhou Weiguo and others.

They have sent submarines and battleships to keep an eye on the Japanese fleet.

There is no danger at the moment. The Japanese fleet does not seem to have any intention of fighting us at sea, but instead went around us directly."

Shen Hao pondered for a moment and said, "There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Let me ask what's going on first."

"Yes, General"

So Shen Hao immediately sent a telegram to Hu Xueli, asking Yuan Fuzhen to contact Yuan Datou's sixth concubine Ye Zhen to find out what had happened.

About an hour later, the telegram from eastern Guangdong finally arrived.

After reading the telegram, Shen Hao finally understood the whole story.

It turned out that under Japan's coercion and inducement, Yuan Shikai finally signed 21 treaties.

Only one thing was changed, which was to give up the cession of Fujian.

At the same time, Japan also announced an increase of 500,000 ground troops, and the First Fleet and the Second Fleet went to Qingdao and were stationed in Tianjin at any time.

Yuan Datou was frightened and felt very nervous.

At the same time, Japan also promised to fully support Yuan Shikai's enthronement.

After Shen Hao thought about it carefully, he understood the whole story.

Japan is so anxious because it has suffered a defeat in Taiwan.

His authority was lost, and he was afraid that Yuan Datou would change his mind, so he resorted to both coaxing and deceiving.

So Shen Hao said to everyone: "Japan suffered a setback in Taiwan, and must be afraid that it will affect the treaty with Yuan Shikai, so it wants to sign this treaty in a hurry.

Yuan Datou knew that we had won a great victory, so he probably wouldn't be so afraid of Japan.

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

Shen Hao said again: "No matter what, the Japanese navy is still very strong. We can't take it lightly and we must keep a close eye on them.

We can’t let them have any chance to threaten us.”

"Yes, General"

Chu Yunfei said: "General, now that Yuan Datou has signed the treaty, what should we do now?"

Shen Hao thought for a moment and said, "Without strength, it will be useless even if we sign more treaties. Send a telegram to Guangdong immediately and make our attitudes public in the newspapers.

Warn Japan that we in Guangdong and Guangxi do not recognize the Twenty-One Demands. "

"It's the general."

Then, Yu Qingfeng asked: "General, what should we do with the 60,000 prisoners of war? Kill them or not?"

Shen Hao shook his head and said, "You definitely can't kill them. The subsequent impact will be too troublesome. If you kill them on the battlefield, no one will say anything, but if you kill the surrendered soldiers, that's the concept of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Since we are going to build a railway, just let them do the labor.

All the means they use to bully us ordinary people should be doubled and used on them.

Don’t care whether they live or die, just treat them as animals.

At the same time, record every consumption.

At that time, if Japan wants to redeem these prisoners, they must pay a hundred or a thousand times the price to redeem them. "

"It's the general."

Shen Hao said again: "Also, immediately publish an announcement in the newspaper, announcing in the name of Yu Qingfeng that Wanwan will be independent from the Japanese army's jurisdiction from today.

And also spread the war situation to make people all over the country happy."

"Yes, General"
