After Tang Jian finished scolding, he saw the strange eyes of Feng Guozhang and others, and immediately realized that he had lost his composure. He laughed dryly and sat back in his seat.

Hirobu Ito's face turned pale, and his lips were bitten and bleeding. Tang Jian's words just now were rude, but they made sense. As a defeated country, Japan did not have the capital to be qualified when it was isolated by European and American countries.

Emperor Meiji also felt humiliated because of Tang Jian's insults. From his clenched fists and the bulging veins on his forehead, we can tell that Emperor Meiji was already out of anger.

Tang Jian snorted coldly and said, "In addition to compensation for military expenses, other conditions can be easily obtained under the strong military force of China without the consent of Japan, so your protests are of no use in my opinion!"

Emperor Meiji finally sighed heavily and said, "Can the military expenses be compensated less? With the current national strength of the empire, we can do our best to meet other conditions!"

"It's not about trying your best, it's necessary to satisfy it!" Tang Jian said toughly: "It's easy to say that there is no money. As the saying goes, gambling debts are paid for meat. Although this is not considered gambling debts, they can also be called debts, so they have to pay for meat. Japan has no money now, but there are always people. It shouldn't be a big impact on Japan, right?

"What do China need so many people to do?" Emperor Meiji felt vaguely that this matter was not as simple as Tang Jian said on the surface, so he had to ask.

Tang Jian smiled and said, "Not many, only 200,000 young and middle-aged people and 100,000 women, all ages between the ages of sixteen and twenty-two, just one hundred taels per person. In fact, the price is quite affordable, right?"

Emperor Meiji frowned slightly. To be honest, one hundred taels per person is indeed very affordable for Japan.

Tang Jian continued: "The Northeast of China urgently needs labor for development, and labor is needed to engage in simple manual labor. For young women, Chinese soldiers are all strong young men. The demand is strong. I don't want them to disturb the people, so I have to take this method. I think His Majesty the Emperor doesn't want Chinese soldiers to harass the people in Japan because they can't control themselves, right?"

Tang Jian said in his heart that he was probably the largest human trafficker in the 20th century. It was definitely a big deal for buying and selling 300,000 people at once!

Emperor Meiji thought for a long time and finally nodded. In fact, he dared not to agree. If Tang Jian robbed him hard, Japan's power would not be able to stop him at this time. If Tang Jian envoyed his troops to disturb the people, China would only be condemned by the international community at most and would not be subject to any substantial punishment. But Japan is different. Emperor Meiji would not dare to imagine the unrestrained and unscrupulous actions of more than 200,000 Chinese Army in Japan, which would undoubtedly be a huge disaster for Japan.

"That's it. In fact, many of the conditions I mentioned are very reasonable and humane." Tang Jian said with a shameless smile.

Hirobu Ito, Kanetaro and others all suppressed the anger in their hearts. The current Japanese government dared not speak out. As the saying goes, success and defeated bandits, weak countries have no diplomacy. Now this sentence has been fully interpreted in Japan. Now Tang Jian is negotiating with Japan on the surface, but in fact, how to deal with Japan.

"The last point is that Japan must submit to China like in ancient times, become a vassal state of China, pay tribute every year, and China has the right to station troops in Japan. Japan's diplomacy can only have relative freedom, not absolute freedom!" Tang Jian held his cheek and tapped the table rhythmically while talking.

Hirobu Ito and Kataro both looked at each other. The last harsh conditions mean that Japan would lose its sovereignty and become a semi-colonial country. Faced with such harsh conditions, Hirobu Ito and Kataro had no strength to resist, and could only sigh with tears in their eyes.

Emperor Meiji knew that the ending could not be changed, so he could only nod in silence and then buried his head deeply. Hirofumi Ito even clearly saw that the moment Emperor Meiji bowed his head, a drop of crystal tears fell from his face.

Tang Jian stood up and said, "Okay, that's all, I hope to see your country's sincerity as soon as possible!" Tang Jian then took everyone away from the central army tent, leaving only Japanese military and political ministers such as Emperor Meiji and Hirofumi Ito.

At this time, there was an atmosphere of grief and anger in the central army tent, and almost everyone was in tears. After watching Emperor Meiji's dull expression, everyone felt like they were cut off. Decades of efforts were finally destroyed. Although Japan did not destroy the country this time, it was already in a state of doom.

Emperor Meiji sighed to the sky, and the sigh contained resentment and unwillingness to fulfill his ambitions. At this time, I don’t know which minister cried out. Suddenly, the whole central army tent cried out in the crying sounded.

Tang Jian and a group of generals came to the Tokyo city tower and looked away. They could see the devastated Tokyo. Tang Jian couldn't help but sigh that after struggling for so many years, his long-cherished wish in his life finally came true, which was completely avenged his comrades who died in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895.

Feng Guozhang stepped forward and asked, "President, why don't we ask the Japanese to pay compensation directly? In this way, their economy will be backed back by at least decades. Now, only 300,000 Japanese people have compensated 300,000 taels of compensation. Isn't this a loss? Why don't we just catch some young and middle-aged people?"

Tang Jian smiled and said, "Is it a loss? I don't think so! Do you think Japan can really repay it? Japan's tariffs have been mortgaged to European countries. With the current strength of Japan, it is impossible to repay them. It is very quick to directly arrest young and middle-aged Japanese people, but this means that they will be condemned by the international community and have a negative impact on China's international image and status. Although Japan committed many unforgivable crimes to the people of our country when it invaded China, it does not mean that we must be eye-for-eye and tooth-for-tat. The Japanese have no human nature, but we are human nature. You can't bite you. You can bite your dog for revenge, right?"

Feng Guozhang nodded thoughtfully and then asked again: "But, Japan's industrial strength cannot be underestimated. Although it literally limits Japan's military strength, Japan can completely strengthen its military strength through domestic industries in ten or twenty years, and we will not be able to control it at that time."

"Haha, of course I know that Japan's industrial strength is not weak. After all, it has been decades since the Meiji Restoration. Japan's domestic industrial system has begun to take shape. It's only a matter of time before Japan really wants to get out of the shadow of defeat. Of course, I won't sit back and see Japan recover. After Japan's full surrender, there is still a lot of work left to do!" Tang Jian said.

"What else does it take to surrender comprehensively?" Feng Guozhang asked in confusion.

Tang Jian tragically smiled: "Destroy the heavy industry used in Japan, completely paralyze Japan's heavy industry system, and then vigorously develop Japan's light industry and agriculture, and build Japan into a granary and processing factory in China! All Japanese machinery must rely on China's imports, not only earning enough money, but also allowing the Japanese to become farmers working for China for generations and can only rely on China's economy to survive! Isn't this more wiser than using force to make the Japanese surrender?"

Duan Qirui immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "The President is a good plan! Even if we captured Japan and captured Emperor Meiji, Japan, which really wants to rule the unified national components, will inevitably spend a lot of China's military and economic resources. However, this will not completely stop the Japanese's resistance. It is better to directly control their economy and make them unable to live without China. In this way, Japan can maintain long-term stability under the complete control of China."

Tang Jian nodded, what Duan Qirui said was exactly what he was thinking.

"After Japan officially announced its surrender, it will immediately notify other European and American countries to occupy Japan in a regional manner!" Tang Jian said to other generals.

Zhang Zuolin said a little resentful: "We have worked so hard to fight, but we have to ask these great powers to pick up ready-made cheapness. I feel really uncomfortable."

Tang Jian patted Zhang Zuolin on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Don't be blinded by the insignificant interests in front of you. The small Japan is not enough to make the relationship between China and the European and American powers stalemate. After all, they promised not to interfere with China's attack on Japan to get some benefits, so I'll give it to them. Isn't that better? Anyway, we don't have to place more troops on Japan's land, so let these European and American powers be our guards! Japan is so close to China, and North Korea is about to become a province in China. With the powerful Pacific Fleet, Japan is always under our control and will never turn over!"

On the second day after the China-Japan negotiations ended, Emperor Meiji of Japan issued a surrender edict, calling on the entire Japanese armed forces to lay down their weapons and officially recognize the defeat of the war.

Under the powerful deterrence of more than 200,000 Chinese Army and the earnest surrender edict of Emperor Meiji, the armed forces in Japan successively surrendered to the Chinese Army in Japan in the next twenty days.

The Japanese government and Huaxia signed the Tokyo Treaty on the same day. The Tokyo Treaty stipulated that after the war, Japan's standing army could not exceed 100,000 troops, and the navy would not own large ships of more than 10,000 tons; declared that North Korea's vested interests, promised to never infringe on North Korea, and compensate China's military expenses of 300,000 taels, because Japan was unable to repay it, and eventually used 300,000 Japanese young and middle-aged men and women as collateral to compensate China; seized the entire Ryukyu Islands south of Kagoshima, including the entire Ryukyu Islands to China; surrendered to China, officially became a vassal state of China, and paid tribute every year. Huaxia had the right to station troops and part of its diplomatic rights in Japan.

When the news of Japan's defeat spread throughout the world, the world's public opinion was in an uproar, because it only took twenty days for China to defeat Japan!
