The landing war in Nanpu Port was fierce until the next morning. After paying a heavy price, the Marine Corps finally completely occupied various forts in Nanpu Port at dawn the next day. Then Wu Peifu's 101th Division Army landed in Nanpu Port and soon gained a foothold in Nanpu Port. The two Japanese infantry mixed brigades suffered more than half of their casualties and finally fled to Pyongyang in a hurry. Among them, the commander of the Japanese Kimura Notaro Brigade was killed in battle and the commander of the Matsuoka E-Brigate was injured. (eng.com)

When Hirahachiro Togo led the joint fleet to the waters of Jianghua Bay, they received news of the loss of Nanpu Port. Hirahachiro Togo knew that the Nanpu Port was lost, and if the joint fleet rushed to Napu Port again, it would be useless and could not save the overall situation. Therefore, Hirahachiro Togo immediately led the joint fleet back to the Sasebo Naval Base and continued to protect the maritime supply line on which the Japanese army relied for survival on North Korea's Tsuma Strait.

But at the same time, Togo Heihachiro sent a small fleet to ambush the Yellow Sea waiting for an opportunity to attack China's troops and supply ships in order to delay China's efforts to increase its troops in Nanpu Port. However, there were warships of the Yellow Sea Fleet cruising on the Yellow Sea, and Togo Heihachiro's small fleet has never achieved any results.

At this time, the battle situation on the Korean battlefield had entered a white-hot situation. Yoshikazu Oshima, commander of the first Japanese army entering North Korea, ordered Notsu Dokun's Notsu Division to use five regiments of nearly 20,000 troops to block Duan Qirui, who came from Ji'an, to lead the Second Army in the area of ​​Miaoxiangshan.

Shinai Masahira, who has been stationed in Seoul, also sent four corps troops to quickly rush to Pyongyang, because Cao Kun's vanguard, the 101st Division, had landed in Nampo Port, and more subsequent troops were gathering. Two mixed Japanese infantry brigades that fled from Nampo Port have also retreated to Pyongyang.

Since then, China and Japan have gathered more than 200,000 troops in Pyongyang, and the biggest war between China and Japan in North Korea is about to begin!

Of course, the rebels in North Korea were not idle for a moment. At Wang Jianchuan's suggestion, the rebels of the North Koreans have been using their own advantages to move in the rear of Japan, occasionally breaking the Japanese granaries or harassing the Japanese transport teams. The Japanese army not only under tremendous pressure from the Chinese army on the front battlefield, but also being overwhelmed by the endless harassment of the Korean rebels.

But at this moment, a huge uproar occurred in China, and protests in China were one after another, affecting China's vast country.

All of this comes from the latest policy against Chinese in the United States: In October 1906, the San Francisco School Committee in California announced that it would adopt a quarantine policy for all Chinese students. When the news reached China, the Chinese people felt deeply humiliated. A fierce anti-American demonstration was immediately launched in China, slandering Americans. Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi also strongly asked the US government to explain this.

The California San Francisco School made this policy, which was Japanese Prime Minister Hirofumi Ito visited the United States. In order to show goodwill to Japan, some American forces wanted to work with Japan to prevent some of the pleasing gestures made by China.

Because in 1905, China won a great victory in the War against Russia and wiped out the Russian Pacific Fleet, which not only brought Outer Mongolia back to China's central rule, but also recovered the Northeast, further expanding China's influence in the Far East and the Pacific region.

A few months ago, China intervened in the North Korean issue and declared war with Japan. The strong strength shown by China made Americans feel a little panicked.

The tough attitude shown by China in the above-mentioned regions seriously threatened the interests of the United States in the Far East. Since the Spanish-American War, the United States has won the vast colonies of Spain in North America and the Far East, and its ambition to expand externally has gradually expanded.

As the confrontation between China and the United States in the Pacific region formed, the United States' hostility towards China became increasingly serious. At this time, China's declaration of war on Japan had already threatened the newly rising Americans, so the United States made fierce anti-China performance at this time.

When the news reached Tang Jian, who was commanding the Japanese war in Beijing, Tang Jian was furious on the spot. Tang Shaoyi, who rushed to Beijing from Wuhan, said: "President, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has filed a solemn protest to the US embassy in China, and now both sides are working hard to resolve this problem."

Tang Jian snorted coldly: "Can diplomacy be solved by protest?" Tang Jian's diplomatic attitude is different. People respect him one foot, and he respects others one foot. Although China's comprehensive national strength is not as good as the United States at this time, China is not a soft persimmon, and it is not something the United States can pinch if it wants.

"What should I do?" Tang Shaoyi asked in a questioning question. You can't go to war with the United States directly, right? Now the war between China and Japan in Korea has entered the most important stage and is unable to go to war with the United States!

Tang Jian asked: "Shaochuan, is Ito Hirobuki still visiting the United States now?"

Tang Shaoyi replied: "Well, I have been visiting for a week. I think he will return to China soon. After all, the situation in Japan is urgent now. He went to the United States to seek help from the United States and test the United States' attitude towards China."

Tang Jian smiled and said, "So, Hiromitsu Ito's purpose of visiting the United States this time has been achieved." Indeed, since Hiromitsu Ito visited the United States, the United States' attitude has become very obvious, otherwise he would not have adopted a quarantine policy for Chinese students.

"Shaochuan, go and prepare. I will visit the United States in person in the near future!" Tang Jian said lightly.

"But the war between China and Japan has reached an important juncture. The president will not take charge of Beijing at this time. I am worried..." Tang Shaoyi said worriedly. Now that China and the Japanese army are about to fight a main battle in Pyongyang. If Tang Jian leaves at this time, will it affect morale? This is what Tang Shaoyi is most worried about.

Tang Jian shook his head and explained: "Now China and Japan have entered the most important stalemate stage. The attitudes of Britain, France and Germany are very clear. They will not interfere in the war against Japan, but the attitude of the United States is unknown. At this time, Hirobuki Ito visited the United States. If Hirobuki Ito successfully seeks help, the United States is likely to interfere in the war between China and Japan. By then, China will enter a very dangerous situation. Therefore, the attitude of the United States is crucial at this time."

"Ito Hirofumi's visit to the United States has made the U.S. forces in the United States active, but I believe the US government still understands the situation in the Far East at this time. The United States interferes in the Chinese war against Japan at this time, but the eyes of several people at the top of the US government were blocked by the U.S. forces, and my personal visit to the United States is to let the people standing at the top of the United States clearly see that it is extremely inconsistent with the interests of the United States. Only by eliminating the unstable factor of the United States can the Chinese soldiers concentrate on dealing with Japan!" Tang Jian added.

"Well, President, I understand that the United States is the biggest threat to China at this time. Only by dealing with the problems of the United States can we solve China's worries in this war." Tang Shaoyi said with deep understanding.

Tang Jian smiled: "It's just a protest at this time. I'm afraid that the U.S. forces in the United States will think that China is weak and can be bullied. After all, there are millions of Chinese in the United States. If China, as the motherland of Chinese, shows such a weak attitude when facing the US government's anti-Chinese bill, wouldn't it make Chinese in the United States feel sad? Wouldn't the Chinese life in other countries be even more sad? As the motherland of tens of millions of overseas Chinese, at this time, it must become a solid backing for these overseas Chinese wandering around the world! Besides, I believe that Shaochuan, you have also seen the huge demonstrations in China, right?"

As a child who stays at home, Tang Shaoyi can naturally experience the miserable treatment of Chinese people who are either for the sake of life or are sold to overseas. As Tang Jian said, China must become a solid backing for these overseas Chinese so that they can stand up straight when they live abroad!

Tang Shaoyi said: "This move by the United States has completely angered the Chinese people, especially those students who have already made a strike to march on the streets! He said that the government must seek justice for those students."

Tang Jian clicked. In his memory, there were many times in history when the country was in danger and these students took the lead in standing up!

Tang Jian smiled and said, "Shaochuan, you asked Minister of Education Liang Qichao to issue a statement saying that I will visit the United States in person to seek justice for those overseas students in San Francisco."

Tang Shaoyi nodded and immediately went down to start preparing for these tasks.

Hiroman Ito! What a good method! Tang Jian lit a cigarette and quietly thought about the next visit to the United States. Tang Jian did not expect that during the China-Japanese War, Hiroman Ito would actually look for foreign aid.

When the "New Treaty of Shimonoseki" was signed, Hirobuki Ito had no temper at all at the negotiating table, and he even showed a little servile. However, he also used the Beiyang Fleet to defeat the Joint Fleet and put pressure on the Kaitaro Cabinet at that time, resulting in the collapse of the Kaitaro Cabinet, and he also had the opportunity to form a cabinet again.

After Ito Hiromoto successfully formed the cabinet, he took advantage of the civil war between Tang Jian and Yuan Shikai that he had no time to look east. In just a few years, he rebuilt the joint fleet. Although he was obtained by selling tariffs at the expense of national interests, he had to admit that Ito Hiromoto's clever means allowed Japan to get out of the trauma of the war in just a few years!

Hirobu Ito is really difficult! This is what Tang Jian said to Hirobu Ito.

The current US president is Theodore Roosevelt. Tang Jian is deeply impressed by this Roosevelt. He is respected by the American people as one of the greatest presidents in American history, and George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln are sculpted at the US President Memorial Park on Mount Rushmore.

Tang Jian is really looking forward to meeting Roosevelt, one of the greatest presidents in American history.
