The thirteenth Japanese bamboo pole knocked loudly
After seeing it, Tang Shaoyi had a plan in his heart and transferred it to Zhao Gang. However, when Zhao Gang was overjoyed, he kept thanking Pritkov and promised to sign the secret agreement as soon as possible. However, the major events in Northeast China must be agreed upon by the ministers before they can be implemented, so it will take some time to wait.
Tang Shaoyi and Zhao Gang had already known what Zhao Gang was thinking, and did not say it out loud, and sent the proud Pritkov out. When Tang Shaoyi returned to the house, he saw Zhao Gang looking at the secret agreement with a serious expression.
Tang Shaoyi asked:
"I think the Russians have a great ambitions and seem to want to take the opportunity to annex the entire northeast?"
Zhao Gang nodded: "Russia must have wanted to use a way to destroy Guo. It's really insidious. It seems that he wants to make a fortune. Since he has no sincerity, we should talk to people with sincerity."
The next day, Komatsu Sutaro finally met Tang Shaoyi. In the past few days, Komatsu Sutaro was so anxious that every day that Japan would lose dozens or hundreds of soldiers and more civilians. The Northeast Republic can afford to wait, but Japan can't.
Komatsu Sutaro knew that this was the attitude that Tang Shaoyi had made, so that he could understand that the right to speak was in the Northeast Republic, and the best result was to pay less.
Tang Shaoyi looked at Komatsu Shoutaro and was very angry. It was this person who deceived his benefactor Yuan Shikai, tempted Lord Yuan to send troops, and then fought in a daze. He was such a despicable villain!!!
Thinking of this, Tang Shaoyi snorted heavily, looked at Komatsu Sutaro contemptuously, and asked: "Komatsu Sutaro, what are you doing today? You won't promise us that you will never send troops to North Korea."
Komatsu Sutaro was shocked and was exposed on the spot. Rumatsu Sutaro was extremely thick-skinned and couldn't help but blush at this time. Qiqi Ai Ai couldn't speak.
When Tang Shaoyi saw this, he felt very happy and stopped asking Komatsu Shoutaro, but instead asked about the war.
"I heard that your country's army has suffered heavy losses at present. I wonder if it is the truth?"
Komatsu Sutaro's face turned pale and red. Suddenly, Komatsu Sutaro knelt in front of Tang Shaoyi
"Mr. Tang, I know you hate me. The villain will definitely apologize after completing his mission. However, please help us Japan with the same origin as the Qing Dynasty classmates. I thank you for your 20 million compatriots in Japan."
When Tang Shaoyi saw it, he felt a little miserable. He reached out to help him up and comforted him with kind words.
"Komatsu Sutaro, there is no need to do this. We are each the main ones. Although I hate you to the core, it is just a private matter. It has nothing to do with national affairs, and will not use private morality to undermine public morality."
Komatsu Sutaro got up and said:
"I came this time to negotiate peace with your country and exchange prisoners of war on both sides."
Tang Shaoyi asked:
“How to exchange?”
Komatsu Sutaro replied:
"Of course, all the prisoners of war on the other side were exchanged."
Tang Shaoyi smiled and asked, "I wonder how many soldiers your country has captured?"
Komatsu Sutaro said: "About 10,000, including General Nie Shicheng."
Tang Shaoyi said: "This is the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty. What do you have to do with our country? You should go to the He Qing Dynasty to exchange prisoners."
Komatsu Sutaro was stunned. The officers and soldiers who defeated the Qing Dynasty were the most discriminated against. It is conceivable that the Qing Dynasty would not agree to pay any expenses for the prisoners.
Tang Shaoyi walked up to Komatsu Shoutaro again and said to Komatsu Shoutaro: "But if those people want to hand over to us, things will be easier in the future. So, you'd better send our prisoners back first."
Komatsu Sutaro regretted it, but the situation was unfavorable, so he had to admit it and promised to start repatriating prisoners of war today.
Komatsu Sutaro didn't want to waste his time on this, so he took the initiative to change the topic
"In our country, more than 10,000 army soldiers and more than 10,000 naval soldiers from Komatsu Sutaro are detained by your country."
Tang Shaoyi admitted directly, "Yes, this is the case."
Komatsu Sutaro said: "At that time, our country was negotiating with the Qing Dynasty and there was no war. Why did you attack us?"
Komatsu Sutaro's words are inconsistent with the black and white. He led the fleet to the door of someone else's house and was not allowed to fight back. How could this be the reason?
Tang Shaoyi was very relaxed in dealing with such a person, and said softly, "They violated our country's laws."
Komatsu Sutaro Daqi asked: "There are so many things in the Qing Dynasty. Why don't you know which one you violated? Tang Master's Love teaches me."
"The Qing Dynasty law did not exist, but it violated a law of our Northeast Republic. The crime of illegal entry, so these people were sentenced to five years in prison and a fine of two hundred silver dollars."
Komatsu Sutaro thought for a while and asked, "If I paid them all, would they be able to leave with me?"
Tang Shaoyi nodded without saying a word, Komatsu Sutaro thought for a while and asked, "I don't know how much silver you have to pay for the five-year sentence?"
Tang Shaoyi seemed to be a little regretful: "It's also two hundred silver dollars."
Komatsu Sutaro felt relieved. Knowing that more than 10,000 people had a place, he struck while the iron was hot and asked about the warships. Japan now has no warships, which means failure for a maritime country. Japan urgently needs its own fleet. Before leaving, the emperor repeatedly told himself to find a way to buy several warships and come back. The price is not a problem. What is important is that it can withstand several 6,000-ton armored ships from Russia.
Tang Shaoyi replied: "It's not difficult at this time. More than 20 warships in our Second Fleet will be sold soon and can be sold to you at half price."
Komatsu Sutaro almost fainted. He knew very well about the situation of the Northeast Second Fleet. He was basically twenty years old, with a wooden iron hull and a sail. How could he have it?
Komatsu Sutaro asked carefully:
"Whether the giant ships of the First Fleet can be sold, our country will definitely buy them at a high price."
Tang Shaoyi didn't say nonsense and said to Komatsu Sutaro:
"I tell you that if our First Fleet wants to sell, it will be sold in conjunction with the Second Fleet. In a word, if you buy two Second Fleet warships, you can buy a 2,000-ton cruiser for the First Fleet. And so on, it is not OK to buy it alone."
When Komatsu Sutaro saw that he could not reduce the price, he asked: "Then how much are the prices of these warships?"
Tang Shaoyi smiled and took out the list and carefully inspected Komatsu Shoutaro
Komatsu Sutaro looked closely and said
Dingyuan, Zhenyuan sold for 5 million taels of silver
Jiyuan sold for 7 million taels of silver
4,000 tons of fast cruiser priced at 4 million taels of silver
4,000 tons of armored cruiser priced at 3 million taels of silver
3000 tons cruiser priced at 2 million taels of silver
2,000-ton cruiser priced at 1 million taels of silver
Second Fleet Ship
Each one costs 500,000 taels of silver
Komatsu Sutaro thought about it in three days, and pinched his nose and bought the four ships of Dingyuan, Zhenyuan, Yoshino and Yoshimi together with the 22 second fleets sold. Komatsu Sutaro paid a total of 29 million taels of silver.
Three days later, more than 10,000 prisoners of war in the Qing Dynasty returned to Lushun by boat. After taking all the prisoners of war in the Qing Dynasty off the ship, more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers also left Lushun by boat.
