Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Lin Yi smiled happily when he received a message from Zhao Xu saying that Xiao Yinghua wanted to negotiate peace with him.

This time, if he didn't kill him severely, he would be sorry for his identity.

In fact, Lin Yi has been waiting for Sakura's peace talks for some time.

Lin Yi has been staying on Kyushu Island for this period of time and has made no further moves. In addition to the need to wipe out the resistance forces in the southern part of Kyushu Island, more importantly, Lin Yi found that some of his troops were unable to attack.

The soldiers were too tired and too divided.

His first legion, a regular army of [-] people, was divided into large areas such as outside the pass and Kyushu Island and Ryukyu.

Moreover, the soldiers started fighting in July and August last year and continued until March this year. They have been fighting for more than half a year.

The soldiers of the First Legion must fight first in every battle and fight every battle. Although a decisive victory was achieved, the soldiers were extremely exhausted.

Perhaps gritting one's teeth can bring down the neighboring Shikoku Island, but it is already impossible to destroy Sakura Country in one battle.

If the number of troops in his hand were doubled, he would never let Sakura Country go so easily.

To be honest, conquering a Shikoku Island alone does not make much sense. On the contrary, it will be harmful to Daxia.

Tokugawa Keiki is an old fox. He defeated Shikoku and handed it over to Tokugawa Keiki. Didn't this increase his strength in vain?

In Lin Yi's expectation, Tokugawa Qingxi would continue to fight Meiji.

The best thing would be for both of them to have their heads bruised and bleeding, draining every last drop of blood from their bodies.

In this way, it will be most beneficial to Daxia.

After all, only dead little cherry blossoms are good cherry blossoms.

To sum it up in one sentence, within the next ten years, Sakura Country must be in a state of civil war.

Only by letting them keep fighting will Daxia be able to take advantage of everything.

Lin Yi even needs to put Tokugawa Qingxi at a disadvantage. In this case, Tokugawa Qingxi can always rely on the empire.

Defeat Shikoku and hand it over to Tokugawa for celebration? What are you thinking!

Therefore, Lin Yicai has been thinking about peace talks with Meiji and ending the war between Daxia and Sakura Country as soon as possible, so that he can go back to digest the customs and Ryukyu.

However, although Lin Yi is ready to negotiate peace with Sakura Country, he still needs to think carefully about how to negotiate peace. Anyway, it's impossible to let Sakura go easily.

However, at the same time, the strength of Sakura Country should not be weakened too much.

After all, if you want Tokugawa Keki and Meiji to fight evenly, you must ensure the balance between the two sides as much as possible.

After thinking about this clearly, Lin Yicai replied to Guangtian Lianjie and said that he could negotiate peace with him.

As for the negotiation place, Lin Yi's inner bad taste suddenly emerged.

The location of the negotiation was Shimonoseki on the other side of Kyushu Island from North Kyushu.

That is the territory controlled by Sakura Country.

However, now that Shimonoseki is your Meiji-controlled territory, it’s okay for me to go to your territory and bring some guards.

In addition, since you Sakura civilians are very unfriendly and even hostile to me, the Daxia people, I will bring more guards, no problem.

Guangtian Lianjie received the news from Lin Yi and he was relieved to know that Lin Yi had set the negotiation venue in Shimonoseki.

To be honest, he was really a little scared. Lin Yi said that the negotiation venue would be in Nagasaki.

If that was the case, he felt that even if he finished negotiating with Lin Yi, he would never be able to return to Honshu Island.

It is very likely that Tokugawa Yingxi will not allow himself to return to Honshu Island safely.

Now that Lin Yi said that the negotiation would be held in Maguan on Honshu Island, Hirota Lianjie breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Lin Yi wanting to bring some guards, Guangtian Lianjie also expressed his understanding.

After all, we were on the enemy's territory, and Lin Yi's status was still so noble.

What's wrong with bringing some bodyguards?

Besides, if you just bring some guards, how many people can there be?

Therefore, Guangtian Lianjie directly agreed to Lin Yi's proposal to bring some guards to Maguan without even thinking about it.

When Lin Yi learned that Guangtian Lianjie fully agreed to his request, he smiled happily.

April 1901, 17, Emperor Dekang of Daxia, the thirteenth year of Yanqing, at [-]:[-] in the morning.

Shimonoseki Strait, Honshu Island, Sakura Country.

A large number of Daxia battleships suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The huge muzzles of the battleships Qinhuang and Hanzu were pointed at Maguan.

Then the Daxia fleet opened fire on Maguan City.

Of course, all salutes were fired. No shells fell into Shimonoseki.

However, the huge sound of cannons still frightened the city of Maguan to the point of howling ghosts and wolves.

Guangtian Lianjie stood at the dock of Maguan Port. When he heard the gunfire from the Qinhuang and Hanzu, he was so frightened that his legs became weak.

To be honest, it was also the first time for him to witness a battleship firing. It was his first time to experience that scary scene.

He didn't just sit down, so he was brave.

Next to him, Seiichi Terauchi and Minoru Saito were not much better than him.

They were both startled by the sound of the cannon. However, one of them was the Prime Minister of the Land and the other was the Prime Minister of the Sea. They were both soldiers, and they quickly recovered from the sound of the cannon.

Terauchi Seiichi's eyes revealed a coldness from time to time, while Saito Minoru's eyes were filled with envy.

Of course, it was Lin Yi who arranged this salute with the battleship's main gun.

There was no reason, Lin Yi simply wanted to fire a few shots outside the gate.

After the eighty-one gun salute was fired, four transport ships quickly approached Shimonoseki Port.

When the transport ship stopped, the soldiers of the First Army of Daxia, who had a large number of live weapons and nuclear bombs, rushed to the port. They were surrounded by Sakura people who were led by Hirota Lianjie and participated in the welcoming procession.

An officer with the rank of colonel on his shoulders walked up to Guangtian Lianjie with a arrogant look.

This officer is none other than Ding Yi, whom he hasn't seen for a long time.

By this time, Ding Yi had been promoted to regimental commander because of his military merit.

Ding Yi glanced sharply at Hirota Renjie and others, and then said to Hirota Renjie in very proficient Sakura Mandarin: "Are you the Prime Minister of Sakura Country, Hirota Renjie?"

When Hirota Lianjie heard Ding Yi's words, before he could speak, Seiichi Temple behind him stood up.

"Baga! Why are you talking to the Prime Minister? You should pay attention to your identity!"

Hearing Zhengyi's roar in the temple, Ding Yi also glanced at him, and then said: "Identity, what identity?"

"You are just a group of defeated people. What identity do I need to pay attention to?"

"It's you who should pay attention to your identity. What's your identity? How dare you talk to me like this? Believe it or not, I will kill you right now. That Tianhuang of yours doesn't even dare to fart?"

Hearing Ding Yi's words, Temple Zhengyi was suddenly stunned. Because he discovered that what Ding Yi said seemed to be true.

At this juncture, Daxia people are killing themselves. With the characters of Meiji and Hirota Renjie, they might not even be able to fart.

Thinking of this, Terauchi Zhengyi suddenly shut up.

Ding Yi smiled happily looking at the speechless Seiichi Terauchi who was stunned by his words.

No wonder Lin Yi came to him before setting off and asked him to act more arrogant.

I have to say, this arrogant feeling of pleasure is truly beyond words.

This feeling is so spicy!

"Prime Minister Guangtian, by order of my prince, I am now taking over the city defense of Shimonoseki!"

"Please hand over the defense of Shimonoseki within an hour! If you do not do so, you will be considered as having evil intentions and want to assassinate my prince."

"At that time, all consequences will be borne by you."

After saying this, Ding Yi looked straight at Guangtian Lianjie.

It seemed that as soon as Hirota Lianjie refused, he would immediately give the order to attack.
