Wusheng City was named after the prince of Black Mountain Fort who personally stayed here. It was also rumored that the prince felt that this place was destined for him, so he personally changed the name of Wusheng City to "Bei'an". The gentry and common people of Wusheng Road immediately felt proud of it.
What's more, Liu Bangchang valued people from Jinzhou. This place was originally inhabited by Jinzhou bureaucrats. They were greedy and tyrannical, and the local Zhongzhou people had suffered from them for a long time. The Black Mountain soldiers were really as advertised in the picture album, they were "sons of the people's army", with strict military discipline, and they were very kind to the people, not harming them in the slightest. They also had five major disciplines, such as not taking even a needle or a thread from the people, etc.
There was no need for the Montenegrin Army to call on them. Countless people spontaneously organized themselves to serve as laborers and push carts for the Montenegrin Army.
…
The Liu Family Garden in Bei'an City was originally the residence of the most wealthy family in Jinzhou. Now that the Liu family has fled, the prince is temporarily staying here.
Today, in the flower hall, sat a beautiful young Japanese woman wearing a purple kimono, and she was none other than Asaba Yoshiko.
Looking at the young giant sitting in the main seat who seemed to be becoming more and more handsome, Asaba Yoshiko actually felt flattered.
Today’s Prince is no longer the “Lu Ming” of the past. It is a rare honor to be received by him.
Before Asaba Yoshiko came, she didn't have much hope, but she didn't expect that she would be summoned today even though she submitted the application yesterday.
Obviously, His Royal Highness still cherishes the old times, but think about how shallow and ignorant it was to try to seduce him with beauty in the past.
Her spouse is of the same honorable bloodline as the real princess, and is rumored to be the sacred snow lotus that has a mysterious origin with the Virgin Queen thousands of years ago. I also heard that the little princess is so beautiful that it is beyond description. She really has the face of an angel who has descended to the earth, and her beauty is purer than you can imagine.
When the two got married, many people in the empire naturally thought that Her Royal Highness the Princess was marrying down.
Looking back now, they are truly a match made in heaven, a couple made in heaven.
As for women like me, we are just like the dog-tail flowers on the roadside. We should feel honored if someone just looks at us.
Asaba Yoshiko was nervous and excited, and she also secretly glanced at His Royal Highness the Prince.
Lu Ming was looking at a booklet she handed over. He couldn't help laughing as he read it: "Since we've met, why don't we just talk about this? And even write an article about it."
Asaba Yoshiko smiled apologetically: "I was afraid that I would be too nervous and lose focus on what I said, so I had already written it before I came here. However, I didn't expect that I would really be summoned by Your Highness. I am very nervous and don't know how to thank Your Highness for his appreciation."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "You are very nice to Erika. She always speaks well of you. I must meet you."
Asaba Yoshiko was stunned. Wasn't Erika given by the prince to his most trusted subordinate, Governor Zhang who is currently in the New Japan Territory
Could it be that this was a covert operation, and Governor Zhang was actually taking the blame for His Royal Highness the Prince
But speaking of Erika, she also had a peerless beauty. Among all the Japanese beauties he had ever seen, she was one of the best. It would not be a disgrace to her beauty for her to become the prince's concubine.
Moreover, there is a legend among the Japanese that the prince trusts Governor Zhang so much because Governor Zhang is the prince's male favorite.
Although it is just a vent of anger, there is no smoke without fire.
So, His Royal Highness ordered the male favorites and concubines to be married together? It was both to conceal the truth and...
Asaba Yoshiko didn't dare to think about it anymore. No matter how complicated the relationship was, it had nothing to do with her, and she couldn't make rash speculations.
When the prince mentioned Erika, he said that he hadn't seen her for a long time, but he didn't expect that one day he would get to see her again, and the reward was hundreds and thousands of times better than he had imagined.
Lu Ming flipped through the booklet and smiled: "Ms. Fangzi, can you really be the master of the entire Dongying Kingdom?"
Asaba Yoshiko came to seek peace on behalf of Prime Minister Yamamoto Yu.
Of course, the Japanese soon discovered the Pearl Island Air Force Base, but at that time the air force formation had already arrived to support the war in the northern region.
In addition, the Eastern Alliance Coast Guard fleet was cruising nearby, so the Japanese did not dare to act rashly.
When the Corps captured Wusheng and was resting, the Air Force's 1st and 2nd Battalions moved to the Pearl Island Air Force Base.
The Air Force has been desperately buying aircraft from Sanmai Company, and Sanmai Company has also been producing them at its maximum capacity.
Today, the Montenegrin Air Force has three bomber squadrons and two fighter squadrons.
That is, about 150 bombers and about 100 fighter jets.
In the recent war, fighter planes were deployed too frequently and several were lost. Although none of them were damaged or shot down by the enemy, they were still considered combat losses.
Two bomber squadrons penetrated deep into Japanese territory to show off their might and blew up an arsenal.
A bomb was dropped over Kyoto.
But it has caused great panic among the people of Kyoto.
In fact, relying solely on these few bombers, even if Japan has no means of defense now, the indiscriminate bombing cannot bring a fatal blow to Japan.
On the contrary, it will make the Japanese people more supportive of Yamamoto Yu and his side to fight to the death.
Therefore, the bombers entering the Japanese territory are more of a deterrent.
What that means is, if you don't surrender, we're really going to bomb your big city.
Now, Yamamoto Yu sent an envoy to ask for peace.
But I didn't expect it to be Asaba Yoshiko.
That’s why Lu Ming asked half-jokingly and half-seriously, can you really be the master of the entire Japanese Kingdom
Asaba Yoshiko sighed softly: "Your Highness, who are you? You know it clearly. I am just a pathfinder. I just came to see what Your Highness wants."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Let's not talk about the Northern Territory. All Japanese troops that invade the Northern Territory must surrender unconditionally. In addition, the Kingdom of Japan must cede territory and pay compensation."
Asaba Yoshiko was stunned: "Cede the land?"
Lu Ming nodded and smiled, "Yes, I think the Honshu Road area is good, so why not give it to my wife as a territory? As the people of the territory of Her Royal Highness the Imperial Princess, the Japanese people of Honshu Road should all be celebrating, right?"
Asaba Yoshiko smiled bitterly. Perhaps the people of Honshu would really react like this, but how could Yamamoto Yu agree to such conditions
Honshu Port on Honshu Highway is the largest port in Japan. Honshu Highway is also the most prosperous area outside of Kyoto.
Lu Ming pondered again, "As for the compensation, let's say 5 billion. It can be paid in installments over 20 years, 300 million yuan per year plus interest."
Asaba Yoshiko was speechless for a moment.
Lu Ming picked up the teacup and took a sip, smiling slightly: "However, if someone else came, this first condition would be to bring it to Yamamoto Xiong, but since it is Miss Fangzi, I will give you my bottom line. The area around Xianquan Port will be given by the Kingdom of Dongying to Her Royal Highness the Holy Princess as a wedding gift. The war reparations, 1 billion yuan, can be divided into ten years, with 120 million yuan paid each year plus interest."
Asaba Yoshiko immediately felt relieved. Xianquan Port was a small port in the south and could not be compared with Honshu Port, let alone the entire Honshu Province.
Then Asaba Yoshiko shook her head helplessly. In fact, Yamamoto Yu would never agree to this condition. But she, after hearing the first condition, suddenly felt that the second condition was very generous.
In fact, it is a very simple business trick. They ask for a high price and then lower the price to make you feel that you are getting good value for money.
"Okay, I will tell Prime Minister Yu Yamamoto!" Asaba Yoshiko nodded slightly, and made up her mind to give the first condition to Yu Yamamoto first.
"If you can facilitate peace talks, what benefits will Yamamoto Yu promise you?" Lu Ming suddenly asked with a smile. Seeing Asaba Yoshiko's eyes roll and she wanted to answer him, he smiled and waved his hands: "Forget it, it has nothing to do with me." Whatever she told himself must be a lie.
