Chapter 78 Korean Rebels

The reason why Ito Hirobuki attaches great importance to Yamamoto's attitude is that Yamamoto's vision has always been ruthless and unique. When the empire was in order to deal with the Beiyang Fleet of the Qing Dynasty, Yamamoto's Mutuali was dissatisfied with the opposition and insisted on integrating the security fleet named "West Sea Fleet" into a "combined fleet".

When dealing with the Zhenyuan-class ironclad ship of the Beiyang Fleet, which poses the greatest threat to the Japanese Navy, Yamamoto Honbuki proposed a bold idea, which was to use the numerical advantage of rapid-fire cannons, hit, and then attack like a storm, destroy its superstructure, kill people, and make them lose their combat capabilities. For this reason, he secretly organized personnel to conduct accurate measurements of the two ships before the war started. The results of actual combat proved that his approach was very correct.

During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Yamamoto's Honbuki also had a keen eye to recognize the beads and activated Yuki Ito, which led to a major victory in annihilation of the Beiyang Fleet.

Hirobu Ito sighed in his heart: "General Yamamoto, I hope your suggestions this time are correct!"

………………………………………

Seoul Palace, North Korea.

"What? A small army with only more than 200 people?" North Korean King Lee Hee looked at Lee Ai-yeon opposite him with disbelief.

Li Aiyan knelt down on the ground and said apologetically: "Father, the son is incompetent and cannot worry about the father."

North Korean King Lee Xi shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, you have tried your best. Since Tang Jian has agreed to send troops, North Korea is making sure that there is no trouble. Alas, it has only made those rebels suffer. Before the Chinese army arrives, I have to fight against the powerful Japanese army. I am incompetent. I am incompetent and cannot protect the subjects of my country!" North Korean King Lee Xi beat his feet and stamped his chest with heartache.

"Father!" Li Aiyan leaned in Li Xi's arms with tears in her eyes.

North Korean King Lee Hee's eyes were covered with tears, and he gently patted Lee Aiyeon's back and murmured: "Oh, my miserable daughter..."

"Report to the king, Japanese Prime Minister Hirofumi Ito came to visit!" Suddenly, the palace maid at the door came in and reported.

The King of North Korea was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Hiromoto Ito to come here so soon. Didn't he hear that he had returned to Tokyo, Japan a few days ago? It's been too long and he came back so soon?

At this time, a sense of ominousness arose in the heart of King Lee Hee of North Korea. Has Ito Hirobuki already noticed that North Korea and China had signed a secret treaty, and came here specifically to force the palace today?

North Korea King Lee Hee helped Lee Aiyeon up and said kindly: "Yuna, please avoid it first. I have something to talk about with Hiromon Ito."

"Yeah!" Li Aiyan nodded obediently, then retreated from behind.

After a while, Hirofumi Ito arrived.

Hiromon Ito entered the palace and saw the North Korean King Lee Hee, and he didn't politely, but smiled and said, "His Majesty the King, how are you doing lately?"

North Korea King Lee Hee immediately asked someone to see the seat. After Ito Hiromon sat down, North Korea King Lee Hee said lightly: "Thank you for the blessing of Your Excellency Ito, I have been a good life recently!"

"Haha, that's good. Actually, I came here this time to discuss something important to your Majesty." There was a hint of coldness on the corner of Ito Hirobuki's mouth.

The heart of North Korea King Lee Hee was "sudden" and it was indeed here to negotiate.

North Korea King Lee Hee asked, "Then please tell me directly!"

Ito Hiromori snorted coldly from his nose, took out a document from the folder he accompanied and threw it on the square table in front of North Korea's King Lee Hee's seat.

Li Xi did not reach out to get it directly, but glanced at the corner of her eyes. Sure enough, he had a good guess with him. This time Hirobuki Ito came to him to sign a treaty on Japan's annexation of North Korea.

North Korean King Lee Hee asked back: "Mr. Ito, what do you mean?"

"What does it mean?" Hirobuki Ito looked at the North Korean king Lee Hee sarcastically and said: "The North Korean government has no ability to govern North Korea at all. In this case, only by allowing the Great Japanese Empire to accept the North Korean regime can we lead the Korean people on the road of prosperity and achieve common prosperity between the Great Japanese Empire and North Korea!"

Since Tang Jian supported him behind his back, North Korea King Lee Hee has become much tougher and is not as afraid of Ito Hiromoto. Hearing Ito Hiromoto's high-sounding reason, Lee Hee couldn't help laughing out loud.

Hirobu Ito looked unhappy and said slightly angrily: "May I ask, why are you laughing at?"

North Korea King Lee Hee smiled and said, "I obviously want to annex my country, but it sounds so nice to say it from Lord Ito. You Japanese are really shameless!"

"You..." Hirofumi Ito clenched his fist, and the blue veins on his temple were bulging, and he was about to attack on the spot. But after a while, Hirofumi Ito relaxed his fist, and instead said in a threatening tone: "Isn't your Majesty afraid of the military power of the Great Japanese Empire?"

"Hmph!" North Korean King Lee Hee sneered: "The North Korean people will pick up any weapons they can and fight to the death with the invaders who dare to invade North Korea!"

"Okay, you have backbone! It seems that Tang Jian gave you a lot of confidence in North Korea?" Ito Hiromoto looked at North Korea's King Lee Hee cunningly.

North Korean King Lee Hee frowned slightly and then said, "It's just Lord Ito who bullies people too much!"

Ito Hiromoto stood up and threw the annexation treaty hard in front of North Korea's King Lee Hee, and said sternly: "His Majesty, I hope you and your princes and ministers will consider it clearly. I will only give you one month. If your Majesty has not signed the treaty in a month, I will bombard the Seoul Palace and let all the royal families in Korea die without a place to bury them!"

After Hirobu Ito said, he left with a slight look on his sleeve!

North Korean King Lee Hee was so angry that he trembled all over, clenched his fists, and stared at Hiromon Ito's departure back.

After Ito Hirobuki left, Li Aiyan walked in through the back door and gently stroked Li Xi's back with her little hands, trying to calm his anger.

Li Xi turned her head and smiled miserably at Li Aiyan: "Yan'er, you can also see that the Japanese's arrogant arrogance has reached this point."

Li Aiyan didn't say anything, but gently stroked Li Xi's messy white hair in her temples and said softly: "Father, don't be angry, our country will be safe and sound."

Li Aiyan took the treaty on the table and didn't even look at it. Instead, she took a candlelight from her side and watched the treaty turn into black ashes under the devour of the flames.

North Korean King Lee Hee asked: "Yona, you..."

Li Aiyan smiled sweetly: "Father, I think these are no longer useful."

"You really believe that those more than 200 people can train domestic rebels to hold Japan for a few months?" asked North Korean King Lee Hee.

Li Aiyan raised her head, stared out the window, and said, "It's not that I believe in the lone wolf, but that I believe in Tang Jian. I believe that he will definitely not let North Korea be poisoned by the Japanese."

North Korea King Lee Hee didn't know why Lee Aiyeon was so sure, nor did she know why Lee Aiyeon was so confident about Tang Jian.

Li Aiyan murmured resentfully in a voice that only she could hear: "Because he is a contemporary hero, my hero!"

North Korean King Lee Hee asked: "Yona, where is the lone wolf you mentioned now?"

Lee Aiyan quickly retracted her mind and replied: "The lone wolf has arrived in Pyongyang this time. It should have been in harmony with the rebel leader in Pyongyang. In addition, the guns and ammunition supported by China have also been transported from Nanpu Port to North Korea. I think those weapons will be equipped for the rebel army soon!"

North Korea King Lee Hee took Lee Aiyeon's hand, patted him gently twice, and said with concern: "Thank you for your hard work, my Yan'er!"

Lee Aiyeon relied on the side of the Korean King Lee Hee, who was already in twilight, and the whole room was filled with strong family affection.

…………….

In order to deal with the situation in North Korea, the Japanese military dispatched Chief of Staff Ayuto Yama Prefecture, Army Marshal Masato Desauchi, Army General Yoshima Oshima, Army General Notsu Dokan personally led his troops into North Korea.

The three generals of the Army, Marshal Teraunuchi, Army General Yoshima Oshima, and Army General Notsu Daokuen, each led a division, with a total force of 80,000, of which 80,000 Japanese Army was reorganized into the First Army, with Yama Prefecture Atsuto as the commander-in-chief of the First Army.

Among these three divisions, most of the forces of the Army Marshal Masato Tetsu and the Army General Notsu Dokun Notsu are distributed in southern Korea, while the Army General Oshima Yoshikazu Oshima's Oshima Division is mainly distributed in northern Korea.

Among them, Oshima Yoshikaku and Nie Shicheng were mortal enemies. In July 1894, Japan launched the Sino-Japanese War of 1895. Oshima Yoshikaku led his mixed brigade to fight against the Qing army. He defeated Ye Zhichao and Nie Shicheng in the Battle of Yashan, and then participated in the Battle of Pyongyang, the Battle of Yalu River Defense, the Battle of Niuzhuang, etc.

He was named Baron on August 20, 1895. Later, he served as commander of the Tyrant Ma Guard and commander of the 3rd Division. He was promoted to general of the army on October 18, 1905.

During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Yoshikazu Oshima also captured Lushun with the First Army Marshal Dashanii and carried out a tragic massacre in Lushun. Among them, when the First Army Marshal Dashanii was occupied by Tang Jian, he was led by Tang Jian to go deep into the Japanese camp and killed him. At that time, he mainly attacked Liaodong. The only senior Japanese generals who committed serious crimes in Liaodong were the only two senior Japanese generals left.

The command center of the Oshima Division.

When Yoshihara Oshima took office, something happened that made him very angry. The Yamazaki brigade stationed in Pyongyang was attacked by the enemy, and the Yamazaki brigade was assassinated in the command center, three of the four squadron captains were also killed in battle and one seriously injured. What's even more furious is that all the soldiers did not even catch an enemy.

When the seriously injured squadron leader of Yamazaki brigade was carried to Yoshima Oshima, the squadron leader had already breathed half his breath.

Oshima Yoshima asked hurriedly: "Matsumoto, who was the one who attacked you?"

The seriously injured squadron leader Matsumoto moved his lips twice and his neck tilted, and he returned to the west. Yoshihara Oshima only heard four words clearly: North Korean rebel army!
