The commander of the First Regiment was lying on the ground to study the attack issues with the huge military map, the chief of staff, and the political commissar.

The accurate map is due to the intelligence department. More than two years ago, the intelligence department had formulated detailed maps of the entire Japan.

Although the battle against Xiaguan City was a temporary idea and the cute president wanted to fight temporarily, he was not unprepared.

What is the purpose of every place, what is the house, what structure, and where each street leads to are very detailed.

On this side, the battle in Xiaguan City has not yet begun, and North Korea is in chaos.

While the cute president was sleeping, the whole world was in trouble.

A large-scale memorial campaign broke out in North Korea by Confucian scholars and conservative officials who opposed Incheon's opening of Hong Kong and accused the "North Korean Strategy"; they robbed Kim Hongji and attacked important officials of the "Master and Protect the Evil" until King Gojong.

In this case, the North Korean government brought Li Jiuying to Li Hongzhang the intention of making a covenant with Europe and the United States in the name of sending personnel to China to learn military preparations.

Due to the domestic situation, the North Korean government has always wanted to use China's power to ask China to preside over the signing of the North and the United States on its behalf.

On the eve of the signing of the Treaty on the Revision of Trade between North Korea and the United States, Li Hongzhang insisted that North Korea send plenipotentiary representatives to negotiate directly with the US envoy. However, Gaozong and the ruling minister were concerned about domestic political changes and refused to send plenipotentiary representatives. Li Hongzhang then drafted ten drafts of the North Korea-US contracts as the basis for the talks with Xue Feiel.

Sheppel has been surrounded by the Chinese army and is ready to attack at any time.

But at this time, the North Koreans are still counting on Americans, which is really ironic.

The talks were held in Busan. The US representative wearing the mask of "aidgers" and "protectors" stubbornly planned to maximize the possibility of meeting the purpose of their aggression, and stipulated that the talks would last long within the treaty.

During the negotiations, the most debated issue and the most acute confrontation of positions was the clauses regarding the relationship between China and the Lee government of North Korea.

Li Hongzhang, the Foreign Minister of China, was worried that the breaking of China-DPRK's close ties, which were expressed in the traditional feudal vassal relationship, would damage the fundamental interests of both purposes, and wanted to include the clear text of the current situation of China-DPRK relations that was still maintained at that time in Article 1 of the DPRK-US Treaty.

Therefore, the first article of the Chinese and North Korean proposal contains the words "China belongs to a state, and politics can still be independent."

The purpose of this approach is to establish an alliance against the invasion of the great powers through this traditional relationship of "no stickiness and no separation".

Therefore, this relationship is neither completely similar to the traditional and feudal vassal relationship, nor is it more powerful than the strong nature of the clan relationship imposed by Western powers on colonial protection countries.

At that time, the American agents had keenly realized the nature of this latter difference.

Therefore, Xue Feiel asked the US minister stationed in Busan to negotiate deliberately not include such words in the treaty.

The Americans were arrogant in the negotiations and insisted on adding a series of unequal clauses to North Korea. For this reason, he did not hesitate to use force to threaten it.

In a letter he wrote: For China and Li Hongzhang, the only appeal and debate that is valued is force, so our policy should be based on American interests and implemented based on the arguments they understand - force, pressure, rather than persuasion. Under the pressure of Xue Feier, Li Hongzhang finally gave up the first part of the debate, on the condition that "successfully declared after the contract" the traditional relationship between the North Korean government and the Qing court.

Xue Feiel did not object, but did not answer positively.

During the entire negotiation process, Li Hongzhang and his assistants always maintained close contact and consultation with North Korean envoy Kim Yun-sik. During the talks between China and the United States, China and North Korea held six talks.

At the same time, Li Hongzhang continued to ask the North Korean government to send other officials to deal with Sheper, but North Korea's special commander was slow to operate.

North Korea's plenipotentiary Minister Shin Xian and US plenipotentiary representative Xue Feiel officially signed the "DPRK-US Treaty for Revising Trade" with the participation of Chinese officials Ma Jianzhong and Ding Ruchang.

The final signed text, except for the addition of a ban on the export of rice valleys from Incheon Port, basically maintained the treaty manuscript of the Tianjin Agreement.

The Treaty has 14 full text, the first of which stipulates: "If other countries have any unfair and contemptuous expressions, once they are informed, they must help each other and mediate them well to show friendship and concerns." This article is the part that North Korea is most interested in and the US government's favorite to show off, but in fact, it is a cover-up for the US implementation of an expansion policy. The United States not only fails to fulfill its treaty obligations when North Korea is in danger and gives aid teams, but also regards North Korea as a victim of Japanese aggressors, and instead gives Japan active assistance.

In addition, the treaty also stipulates: "In the future, what kind of favorable benefits will the monarch of the Great North Korean Kingdom benefit, grace, interests and benefits other countries or their merchants and people, regardless of whether they are involved in sea surface, ships, trade, trade, trade, exchanges, etc., be for the country and its Nan family, and those who have never been involved in this treaty will also allow the United States officials and people to be united as one"; Americans enjoy the right to live in North Korea and consular judgment; North Korea must provide mooring, rescue, food and protection of American citizens for ships traveling in the United States; the United States enjoys the "most-favored-nation treatment" in North Korea, and import goods "for daily necessities related to people's livelihood, taxes shall not exceed ten" at a low rate of tariffs of 100% of the estimated value.

Regarding the relationship between North Korea and China, it was finally decided: "It is proposed that the King of North Korea prepares a note and declare it before the contract is made."

The content of the first paragraph of the Treaty is to invoke the relevant provisions of the Sino-US Tianjin Treaty of 1858, with the purpose of making up for the shortcomings of the above measures. Li Hongzhang and his Westernization officials believed that after this design, they could ensure the traditional relationship between the Qing government and North Korea and restrain Japan's actions in North Korea. In fact, the US government's not paying attention to the notes on the land of North Korea at all, and it was like waste paper.

The tragedy between China's Foreign Minister Li Hongzhang and North Korean officials is that he does not understand the nature of the United States' foreign policy and the formation of US-Japan collusion.

As the then American Minister John Jan confessed, “Nothing we did in North Korea did not ultimately serve Japan and helped that charming country in the painting for her benefit.”

While negotiating with others, they are preparing to fight. This is the useful trick of China.

But this trick will work harder.

At least, this is how it is for Xuepeer and his army who are now stationed in Xiaguan City.

The Treaty on Comprehensive Trade between North Korea and the United States is the first unequal treaty concluded between North Korea and European and American capitalist countries, laying the foundation for the enslavement of North Korea by Western powers.

China's decisions are both contrary to the tradition of the suzerain state not directly interfering in domestic and diplomatic affairs, and also against the righteous feelings that the North Korean people hated to the American invaders since the "Xin Mo and Yang Ji".

When Emperor Gaozong Li Xi ascended the throne, he was only 12 years old. He appointed his adoptive mother, Zhao, as the eldest prince's concubine, and she ruled the country from behind the curtain. His biological father, Li Shiying, was appointed as the king of Xingxuan Daewon, and praised the government affairs. Xingxuan Daewon's rule was regarded by the Korean historical community as the beginning of modern and modern Korean history. As soon as Xingxuan Daewon's rule was in power, he showed extraordinary political talent. He began to cultivate his own power and launched a reform process with the purpose of strengthening the centralization of **ism. In the fifth year of Tongzhi (1866), Queen Shenzhen Zhao withdrew the curtain, and Daewon's ruler took over the power. Daewon's ruler vigorously rejected Andong. The Kim forces expelled them all from the court, and even the Fengrong Zhao family, who had helped him, began to establish the royal majesty that had been lost for a long time. At the same time, they rebuilt the Gyeongbok Palace with great fanfare to serve as a symbol of the monarch's authority. In addition, he also carried out reforms in various aspects of politics, economy, and culture, trying to repair the edifice of the feudal dynasty in Korea; he also strictly enforced the line of closing the country and religious persecution policies, triggering the "Bingyin evil prison" and massacred tens of thousands of Catholics. At this time, North Korea was already facing the crisis of aggression by Western capitalist countries, which became more prominent by the time of Emperor Gaozong.

As a result, it not only further destroyed the traditional relationship between China and North Korea, greatly damaged the image of the suzerain state, and increased the pace of opening up of the Min Clan regime; the proposed North Korean strategy of "pro-China, bonding with Japan, and ties with the United States" also intensified the contradiction between the internal openness and anti-civilization forces in North Korea, and made the North Korean issue increasingly complicated, leading to the excuse of Japan, the United States and Western powers to infiltrate their aggression into North Korea without scrupulously, and deeply involved North Korea in the vortex of the great powers in the Far East.

After the establishment of the Treaty on Comprehensive Trade between the United States and North Korea, other Western powers followed the establishment of the Treaty on Comprehensive Trade, and other countries such as Ukraine, Germany, Russia, France, Austro-Hungary, Belgium and Denmark successively signed similar treaties with North Korea.

The Min government, which squeezed out Daewonjun, showed favor with Japan for various reasons, and after re-adopting the open policy, it was opposed by all walks of life. Among them, Confucian scholars from all over the country who usually believed in national lockdownism were very dissatisfied with establishing diplomatic relations with Japanese pirates. In addition, Daewonjun and his followers secretly incited them to return to the stage of power while taking advantage of the chaos. Soon Confucian scholars signed a memorial and called on Daewonjun to be invited from Yangzhou to Yunxian Palace.

The memorial said: Our country is a country of oriental etiquette. It is actually a decent and stupid move to make a friendly treaty with the Japanese. Although Japan's foundation is different from that of foreign barbarians, it has been involved in the customs of foreign barbarians in recent days, and it is actually a fake foreign barbarian.

Before, the Grand Principal of the Courtyard was wise and able to understand this point and not interact with it. However, now a friendly treaty with Japan is a very disappointing act. I beg the Emperor to welcome the Grand Principal of the Courtyard from Yangzhou to Yunxian Palace, and at the same time, I ordered the Grand Principal of the Courtyard to correct the national policy that has been wrong. For the sake of the country's century-old plan, I and other Confucian scholars here to ask the Emperor to investigate.

These people were obviously dissatisfied with Gao Zong’s in charge of the rule and advocated supporting Daewon-jun again.

The Min group was confused about the world situation, but was well aware of the power struggles within the Lee Dynasty. Through Gaozong's detailed investigation, Queen Min sentenced four people, including Liu Dao-soo, Confucian scholar Lee Rong-soo, and Confucian scholar Lee Sang-chol, and Confucian scholar Xu Shenglie, who were sentenced to the absent sentence.

However, the memorials that advocated the welcome to the Grand Principal of the Courtyard from Yangzhou to Yunxian Palace did not stop it, but instead increased.

Hundreds of thousands of Confucian scholars across the country were even more indignant about the exiles suffered by Liu Dao-soo and Lee Rong-soo. They reported one after another, and radicals even fought to the death and gathered in front of the gate of Gyeongbok Palace to sit quietly and demonstrate.

Like-minded Confucian scholars shared the same hatred for the enemy and strengthened organizational liaisons in various places. People from all over the country often contacted each other. At the same time, they kept writing letters, strongly demanding that the Dayuan lord be welcomed back to reform political affairs.

The situation was so tense that Queen Min's faction knew that it was difficult to solve it with only suppression, so she had to adopt a policy of gentleness against Confucian scholars.

Although it was impossible to support Dayuanjun as the regent again, in order to appease the Confucian scholars, the court had to welcome Dayuanjun from Yangzhou to Yunxian Palace.

The 3ooo-many First Field Division of the Chinese Army lurked outside Xiaguan City in just over half an hour.

Xiaguan City is said to be a city, but in fact it is just a wall of earth walls and is not complete.

There are internal agents of the Chinese army in Xiaguan City. These are agents from the Statistics Bureau that had been ambushed earlier. If the situation was not urgent, agents would not be used.

While the Japanese soldiers were still napping, the city gate was no longer open.

The soldiers guarding the city were also eliminated by designated locations in a short time!

Before dawn, when people were sleeping soundly, the soldiers were still dozing off and were assassinated one by one.

There are only more than one thousand Japanese troops in Xiaguan City.

Shimoguan is located at the westernmost end of Honshu Island in Japan. It is the largest city in Yamaguchi Prefecture. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides and has beautiful scenery. It has been famous for its fortresses with sea and transportation. It has been well-known for its commerce, aquatic industry, agriculture, etc.

Moreover, Xiaguan is one of Japan's few tourist destinations. More than 70,000 tourists come here every year. As the "Hometown of Puffer Fish", the number of puffer fish trading accounts for the whole country. Only here can you eat authentic puffer fish cuisine. Here is the "Kao Island Bridge" which runs through the beautiful island "Kao Island" surrounded by the blue sea.

There is a 14-o-year-old "Kawadeng Hot Spring". There is also a "Taoshimachi Nagata" that retains the Edo period architecture.

The American army has more than 2ooo people, all of which are in the barracks in the city.

Sheppel naturally would not have thought that it was under negotiation, and how could the Chinese army easily come to Xiaguan City in Nagasaki hundreds of miles away?

At the dark dawn, the deep gate, the gate of Xiaguan City opened silently, and at this time, Xiaguan City was immersed in silence.

3ooo many fully armed soldiers sneaked into the city of Xiaguan City, without much sound.

Diddou!

The inspiring charge of the Chinese army was sounded!

The plan was made very well. Not long after the first battalion was in place, in a few minutes, the second battalion was in place and the third battalion was in place!

Seeing that in less than 10 minutes, one troops were in place, proving the execution ability of the First Regiment of the First Field Division of the Chinese Army. Even 3ooo people entered a city. Now it has been about 3o minutes, and no enemies have appeared yet!
Chapter completed!
