After taking the port of Sasebo and the line of Fukuoka, Saga, Nagasaki Castle.Xuan Jianzhang was worried, ready to defend against the Japanese counterattack at any time, never expected that a day had passed, and the Japanese had not moved at all, "What is the situation now?"
Xuan Jianzhang asked the chief of staff who was working beside him.The chief of staff got up with a smile, "Division, now all the Japanese have begun to retreat from the places we occupy, and the Japanese troops have not appeared near our defense area, they are afraid." ”Producer Xuan Jianzhang couldn't believe it, and said with a smile: "Very good, the Japanese are not as brave as we thought, immediately inform Seoul of the situation in Japan and report directly to the President's Secretariat." ”"Okay, division," the chief of staff gave a military salute and immediately said to the telegraph operator beside him: "Telegrapher, immediately send a telegram to the presidential secretariat in Seoul. ”President Moe received the war situation in Japan for the first time, and looked at Princess Katrina Kafu with a smile.Princess Katrina Kafu blushed, "It's strange, the Japanese didn't react that they have a population of tens of millions on Kyushu Island, and there are thirty or forty thousand troops, whether it is the population or the army, they are far superior to us, and they don't dare to fight." ”"It's not that they don't dare to move, it's that they haven't reacted yet, and they don't know what to do now."
President Moe smiled slightly, "Perhaps, the Japanese are not as brave as we think. ”The whole of Tokyo has become a mess.Tokyo's history dates back about 400 years.In 1603, Tokugawa Ieyasu established the Tokugawa shogunate here, and Tokyo began to flourish.At the time, Tokyo was known as "Edo" and was the political and cultural center of Japan, and in the mid-18th century it developed into a large city with a population of more than 1 million.In 1868, the Edo shogunate fell, and Edo was renamed Tokyo.Since then, the emperor has moved from Kyoto to Tokyo, which has become the veritable capital of Japan.During the Meiji era, Japan absorbed Western civilization on a large scale, and brick buildings were built on the site of the former Daimyo mansions, and the main roads were paved with cobblestones.In 1869, Japan's first electric line was opened in Yokohama, Tokyo, and in 1872, the first steam locomotive was opened in Shimbashi Yokohama.Western-style hairstyles replaced traditional samurai buns, and fashion hallmarks were top hats, high-necked suits, and long skirts with a wide waist.Emperor Meiji, Hirobumi Ito, and others were urgently discussing countermeasures, and the chief of the guard outside knelt under the porch, "Your Majesty. ”Emperor Meiji Yu asked, "What's the matter?"
"There are more than 100 officers outside the palace who want to see Your Majesty." ”The chief guard replied.Emperor Meiji's eyes were red, and he asked: "Seeing what I'm doing, I'm going to hit Kyushu Island again, aren't you waiting for the attitude of the British and French, let them go back first" The chief of the guard shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I can't help it, I've already persuaded it, they say" "What to say" Emperor Meiji said angrily, "Don't you think I'm not annoyed enough" "They said that the land has been occupied, and if they don't fight back like this, they will collectively cut their stomachs." ”The chief guard replied.Emperor Meiji got up angrily, "What they all know, I don't know" As he spoke, he walked out quickly, and went to the outer hall of the palace to meet these officers, the government army left in Tokyo is less than 20,000 people, and now the Japanese government troops in the whole country are combined, and there are less than 100,000 "What are you doing, what do you want to do, I am the emperor of Japan, I don't know if the land is occupied by the Chinese, but now you are all pulled to Kyushu Island, are you sure that you can recover Nagasaki Castle, Kitakyushu, Fukuoka and Sasebo Port" Emperor Meiji shouted."
How much ability do you have, don't you know yourself, have you fought the British, the French and the American army, if you can fight, what did you do earlier, you went to the railroad is British, the British will not look at the Chinese army like this and sit idly by, we can only wait, do you understand" A group of officers did not dare to speak."
Get out of here," Emperor Meiji said angrily, and after saying that, he turned around angrily.A group of generals were reprimanded, and the next day, all the people of Tokyo came to the palace to demonstrate.In the eyes of the Japanese people, the Chinese people are the most useless, because this is a problem of education, a problem of tradition, for thousands of years, they have been educated to say that Koreans, Chinese people, how useless, how to treat these places as fat, go to get money, the fact is true, not from North Korea to get money, in a country like Japan, eating is a problem.Now well, overnight, Nagasaki Castle, Fukuoka, Kitakyushu, Sasebo Castle, all lost and all eaten by the Chinese army, moreover, the Chinese army only has more than 10,000 people, this kind of shame and humiliation, how did the Japanese bear the Meiji Emperor or the Too young, too simple Tucson broken, every day except to wash his face with tears, nothing can be done, and the situation of President Moe talking and laughing in Seoul every day is very different."
What about today's newspaper," Emperor Meiji asked.The Minister of Guards did not dare to speak, and all the newspapers in Tokyo were scolding the government, which was also the place where Japan was civilized, and the common people dared to speak, and the newspapers dared to speak.Emperor Meiji said angrily, "You can't stop me from showing me the newspaper just because they are all scolding me." ”The Minister of the Guard sighed and hurriedly brought the newspaper to the Emperor."
If I didn't estimate at the beginning that the Chinese army actually wanted to occupy the entire island of Kyushu, and now that the Chinese army has sent troops on a large scale, I still haven't moved, why is this" Emperor Meiji looked at the newspaper and muttered a long sigh, "Why is this why the Chinese army is so rampant now, we have fully understood the intentions of the Chinese army, why are we still unwilling to go to war" Ito Hirobumi coughed, not knowing how to answer, yes, now it is time for the whole of Japan to attack."
You go, convey my order, the whole of Japan, the general mobilization order, declare war on the country," Emperor Meiji said angrily.Hirobumi Ito was waiting for this moment, but he felt that the emperor's reaction was very strange, either you announced it yesterday, or, you just waited a little longer, and now it is a day late, will the reaction be a little slow" Yes, Your Majesty. ”Hirobumi Ito bowed to Emperor Meiji and hurried out.Just when Emperor Meiji made up his mind, the transport fleet of the Chinese army from Korea had already arrived at the port of Sasebo.A whole 12 large transport ships, which were urgently requisitioned from various ports in Danju and North Korea, right under the noses of the British and French t1706231537:
