The negotiations in Beijing have made no progress in more than ten days. On the issue of war reparations, the two sides quickly reached an agreement with 10,724,000 taels of silver in 75 years. However, on the dividing line of the land cemetery, Chinese officials such as Yi and others did not let go as soon as they had eaten a weight, and they insisted on using the 136° East longitude line as the benchmark. No matter what the Japanese said, they kept shaking their heads. The look of oil and salt always made Hirobu Ito angry. "/"/

Half a month passed, and he and Shigeshino Okuma had a blister of fire. Whether it was begging or rebuking, it had no effect. The meeting of the day was still the same. At the end of the conversation, Yi suddenly said, "Mr. Cabinet Minister, this matter is not something we can decide. There are less than fifty days left before February 21. I think you two should go back to China quickly and report this condition of our Qing Dynasty to His Majesty the Emperor one by one, so as not to be able to negotiate. You two have to bear duty, and the crime is not light."

"The prince's highness is not worried about this matter, and the foreign minister has long known about it."

Yi was not angry with them, and nodded with a smile, picked up the teacup, "Send the guests!"

Ito Hirofumi was full of worries and went back to Guanyi with his companions. Okuma Shigeon didn't care about resting, took a sip of water, and went to his room again, 'What do you think?"

"At the meeting just now, Prince Gong said nothing wrong. This matter is not something that others can decide, and it is not necessary for Emperor Xianfeng."

"Yes, I know, but Emperor Xianfeng's hatred for the imperial country has been around for a long time and cannot be resolved so easily. But we can't even figure out the reasons for this." Okuma Shigeshinobu sat down dejectedly, "What should I do? Should I really give them such a large piece of land as the Chinese wish?"

"Of course, this won't work." Hirofumi Ito walked around the room for a few steps. "The Chinese said that the person who tied the bell must be untied. He still had to make an idea from Emperor Xianfeng."

"We have visited all those who can speak, and it has no effect. What if it does?"

"You don't understand what I mean." Hirofumi Ito's cheeks bulged slightly and suddenly bent down, saying a few words in Okuma Shigeshino's ear. The latter jumped up in place like a cat with a trampled tail, so anxious that his head was full of blue veins, but he lowered his voice hard. "No, this is absolutely not possible! If you do this, you will inevitably anger China and will be out of control at that time!"

"I have been thinking about this for the past few days. If this person is not eliminated, my kingdom will never be at peace." Ito Hirobumi said quietly, "Think about it. With his current power, if this matter is irreversible, who can change it? Therefore, I have to find a way to get rid of him!"

"Then do you think you can get rid of him? Even if you say, if you can really do what you want, what will happen afterwards? How many people in the imperial state will die for this? Is it possible to make a fortune?"

"Don't worry, the situation will never be as evil as this." Hirobuki Ito whispered, "Once the news reaches the army, the Qing army will be in chaos. If it can ambush a troops in advance, take advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, turn defeat into victory or failure, but it is not a luxury to drive most of the Qing army into the sea to feed the turtle."

Shigeon Okuma hated China more than Hirofumi Ito, but he has been a minister of Tibetan Buddhism for many years, and he is meticulous in dealing with things and thinks very clearly about everything. "Even so, the Chinese Green Camp soldiers are armed with thousands of armor. Once they encounter such a major change, they will use to attack with the power of the country, what can they use to block the other party?"

"This requires two steps. First, we need to ask international mediation. Second, the Chinese may not necessarily know that this is our move." Hirobuki Ito said. "This time I go back to China, arrange for the dead to secretly travel to China. If things are done, they will immediately escape. Those who cannot escape will not be able to catch a living for the Chinese. At that time, the culprit is not there, and even if there are, there will be no evidence of death. Will the Chinese insist that they are our people? Joke! No matter how big the world is, they can't take the word "reason" and let the Chinese show come out and say it!"

"……………… Besides,” Hirobuki Ito said, “If Emperor Xianfeng died, there would be no leader in China. The new king had just as big as the throne, and he would not care about using troops to the imperial state. In addition, I think Zaiying may not have as deep hatred as Nai's father in our country, nor is it as crazy as him. Just fight for three to four years, it will be enough to revive my imperial state!"

Shigeshino Okuma swallowed with difficulty, "Ito-kun, you have to think clearly about this matter. Once the incident occurs, it is not a joke."

"I know, don't worry, how could I be careless about such a big thing?" Hirobuki Ito said, "In this way, we will leave China and return to Japan tomorrow based on the conditions proposed by China are too far away from ours. At the same time, Okuma, I would like to ask you to stay in China and delay time with the other party. If you can get more time, it is of course the best. Let's talk about everything after I come back."

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the words of my companion were fantasy. Assassinating the Chinese emperor? Can this be done? Even if the lord of a country was assassinated and killed, the Chinese people had nowhere to vent their anger. It was unimaginable how much things would progress! But looking at Hirobu Ito’s eyes were as bright as ghost fire, I knew that no matter how he persuaded him, he would not listen! "No, I want to return with you."

"Eh?" Ito Hirobuki was stunned and immediately understood that Shigeon Okuma still disagreed with his plan. He intended to persuade the emperor to dispel this unrealistic idea after returning to China. He wanted to prevent him from walking with him, but he also felt that there was nothing wrong with doing this. He should see if His Majesty the Emperor was willing to agree and cede such a large piece of land to China without any resistance?

On February 15, Hirofumi Ito and Shigeon Okuma returned to Tokyo, disembarked at Yokohama Port, headed straight to Chiyoda's palace, and met Emperor Meiji who was anxiously waiting for them. "What's the situation? What do the Chinese say?"

Hirofumi Ito handed over the official document. The emperor snatched it over without waiting for the eunuch to hand it over. He opened it and looked at it. "·····" He hesitated for a moment and raised his godless eyes, "Is it still... so bad?"

"It's all incompetent, please forgive me for your sins."

"No, this is not the incompetence of you two, it is me, it is me who used the wrong Saigo brothers!" Emperor Meiji loosened his hand and spilled the official documents all over the ground, "It is my fault that is my fault!"

Hearing the Emperor's words crying, Shigeon Okuma also burst into tears. Ito Hirobuki said loudly, "Your Majesty, if you cry bitterly, you can dispel the greed of the Chinese people. I am willing to be mourning for our imperial country with Your Majesty. The life and death of the imperial country is in front of you. Please hold your tears and make a decision early."

"What else can I decide? What can I do if the Chinese people agree to die, but if they don't agree or die?"

"Your Majesty is saying! Since it is death, if you don't agree, it is death. Why not fight with the Chinese people to the death?"

The emperor looked at Hirobu Ito with tears in his eyes, and then looked at Shigeon Okuma, "How can he fight to the death? Do you still have to recruit heavy troops and fight the Chinese?"

"No, I have thought about it carefully on China and the way back." He smiled fiercely and said coldly, "I think of a bold plan that I can apply after asking Your Majesty to approve it."

"What's the solution?"

"I want to gather many dead soldiers to sneak into China secretly, wait for the opportunity to assassinate Xianfeng!"

Emperor Meiji was so scared that he burped his tears instantly, "What did you say?" His first reaction was to refuse, "How can this work? If you anger the Chinese, we will be completely finished!"

"No." Hirobuki Ito analyzed calmly, "I have thought carefully about asking Rong to analyze it for Your Majesty. If our plan is not successful, everything will be done and there is nothing to say. If it is successful, there are three possibilities. One is that Emperor Xianfeng died. If that is the case, the Qing Dynasty will definitely be in chaos. The new king succeeded to the throne and cleaned up this mess. It will not pose a threat to our Japan in less than three or two years. The second is that Xianfeng did not die, but was seriously injured and could not manage the government. Let us take this opportunity to concentrate our troops and drive the Chinese out of Japan! Third, Xianfeng was injured, but it was not serious. This was as if it was not successful, and the result was no different."

"So I think that my emperor, king and minister, and the court would rather die until the last person standing, than surrendering to the Qing Dynasty in a humble manner. What is the difference between ceding such a large area of ​​land to them? "

Meiji did not make a decision for a inflammatory language like Ito Hirofumi, "This matter is too important, let me think about it again."

Hirobuki Ito didn't dare to urge him, so he had to nod, "Ito, who do you think you want to send to perform such a task? Is there anyone in your heart to choose?"

"This is what I feel the most trouble. First of all, if you have to know Chinese, you can't even say a single Chinese word. How do you live in the Qing Dynasty? I'm afraid that you will be able to see through the other party as soon as you step into it. Secondly, you must have strong martial arts. The Chinese emperor lives in the Forbidden City. Although we can know that he is resting in the Palace of Peaceful Hearts, there is a tight warning there and it is never possible to enter at will. Third, once the situation fails, these people must have the courage to kill themselves. Never be caught by the other party. Otherwise, it will be a disaster that will collapse and earth!"

After hearing him say that, the king and his ministers thought secretly that the last request was the simplest. The Chinese invaded Japan's territory. I don't know how many folk patriots hated the Chinese in their hearts, but most of them were just talking and could not be implemented. On the battlefield where the two countries fought, this so-called martial arts could not be almost any effect. Instead, it was not as good as those soldiers who had no martial arts but had professional combat training, so they could only abandon them. But if these people were used as dead soldiers, they would definitely not be stingy to contribute their lives to the motherland.

The second requirement is not difficult to meet. There are also many martial arts masters in Japan, such as the karate samurai Yamamoto Kogen and the karate samurai Yamamoto Kogen and the karate sect of Yamamoto Kogen. This has not included the leaders of these two sects, such as Nagatarai, Takatuanzu, and the only seventh section in Japan, named Shinto Kogen. It is said that he was able to break twelve tied bamboos with a hand knife in one fell swoop. But these people couldn't use them, because they could not speak Chinese.

After careful choice, Hirofumi Ito finally thought of a man named Man Chun-jiman, who was a military officer at the Japanese Embassy in Korea. He studied under the famous Japanese martial artist Gao Tuanzhu. Later, he joined the army and was stationed in North Korea with the rank of colonel. He learned very fluent Korean and Chinese. However, he alone is absolutely not enough to accomplish his job. He also has to choose an assistant for him and receive special training within the shortest time to perform this top-secret mission.
