Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Is Lin Yi really a Chineseist?

Maybe, maybe.

But most of all, he knows very well what kind of people in Nanyang, or Southeast Asia, are like.

The empire is determined to occupy Nanyang, but this does not mean that Lin Yi wants to incorporate all the indigenous people there into the empire.

Lin Yi felt that he could fully accept the countries of Annam, Siam, and Khmer that were close to the empire.

After all, these places have been most influenced by the empire's culture, and integrating their people into the empire won't be a big problem.

But like the indigenous people in the Malay Archipelago, Lin Yi didn't like to see them very much.

To say they are indigenous is to flatter them. They are just a bunch of uncivilized monkeys, living outside the civilized world.

Moreover, they are all too lazy to work. Wouldn't keeping them create a burden for the empire?

In a word, the empire does not support idlers.

So, for those Aboriginals, of course...

It is impossible to kill. After all, there are tens of millions of indigenous people in the entire Malay Archipelago.

If so many people were to be killed, then the Empire would definitely become the public enemy of mankind.

To use the ancient saying of the empire, that is definitely against the harmony of nature.

Although Lin Yi doesn't believe in metaphysics, he can't do such a thing.

Therefore, the best way is to gather all the indigenous people on an island and set up a protected area for them, allowing them to fend for themselves there.

And this also involves the forcible expropriation of their houses, which may turn into violence.

Therefore, it is best for the empire not to get involved in this matter, so the Fuso people are the best thugs.

When the time comes for international accusations, will they also accuse Koizumi Jiro and the Fuso people of having anything to do with the empire?

This is Lin Yi's entire plan.

After Fang Xiao left, he immediately called Koizumi Jiro, who was still cleaning up the mess in Nagasaki, and asked him to submit the watch to the Emperor of Daxia as soon as possible.

Koizumi Jiro was very sensible. After receiving Lin Yi's telegram, he immediately sent an apology form to Zhao Xu in the name of the Prime Minister of Fuso Kingdom.

Zhao Xu also knew that this was Lin Yi's arrangement, so he pretended to give an order to reprimand Koizumi Jiro.

He said that although he was forced to start the war, it also caused the Fuso Kingdom to shed blood.

But now that the mastermind Tokugawa Keiji and Tokugawa Yoshiji have been brought to justice, I hope that Koizumi Jiro can give more consideration to the people of Fuso Country.

At the same time, it was also recognized that Koizumi Jiro was the Prime Minister of Fuso Country.

Regarding Da Xia's decision, Bai Yu Tianhuang didn't even dare to fart.

He put his position very clearly, and he knew very well that he was a puppet.

It is almost impossible for him to get rid of the control of Koizumi Jiro and Daxia.

Unless Meiji can defeat Jiro Koizumi and Daxia.

But the question is, if Meiji wins this war in the end, can he, "Tianhuang", survive?

Therefore, for Bai Yu Tianhuang, the current situation is the best.

No matter how Koizumi Jiro fights Tokugawa, his title of Tianhuang will not be lost.

Moreover, as long as he is honest enough, the title of Tianhuang can be passed on to his next generation.

Where he is now, he has no freedom and is like a puppet, but one thing is good, that is, he had no shortage of food and clothing before.

He really didn't want to go through the hard days like before again.

Baiyu Tianhuang had no objection, Daxia supported it, and Meiji did not dare to take action. This allowed Koizumi Jiro to take control of the entire Fuso Kingdom very quickly.

At the same time, under Lin Yi's order, Koizumi Jiro began to send people to sign a new truce treaty with Meiji.

At this time, Meiji saw that this Koizumi Jiro was the person Daxia really wanted to support.

If you continue to fight with him, you will definitely not gain anything.

At the same time, Meiji now also feels that his body is a little weak. Coupled with the Sakura Kingdom's continuous battles, it has reached the point of being at the end of its rope.

Therefore, Meiji reluctantly agreed to Koizumi Jiro's proposal.

After many days of peace talks, although neither country recognized the legitimacy of the other, relations have eased a lot.

At least the Tsushima Strait is no longer closed, and the confrontation on Shikoku Island has stopped.

Private business ties between the two countries have also begun to resume.

With the signing of a new contract between Meiji and Jiro Koizumi, Lin Yi also asked the Yinglong fleet to retreat to the west of Kyushu Island and no longer block the waters of Sakura Country.

With the departure of the Daxia Navy, the blockade that had been a blockade or semi-blockade from the beginning of the war to the present has disappeared.

This also allowed Sakura Country, which was about to starve to death, to breathe a sigh of relief.

In this way, things in Sakura Country came to an end for the time being.

One day in May 1907.

The war had been suspended for half a year, and Meiji, who had been recovering from illness for more than half a year, finally died.

Meiji had been diagnosed with diabetes last year, in 1906, and the war had been in an unsatisfactory state, so he had not been treated.

Moreover, due to the defeat of Sakura Country, compensation for the Daxia war had to be paid, so Meiji did not have any extra money for treatment.

Therefore, his illness became serious from the beginning.

Although Daxia later relaxed the blockade, Seiichi Terauchi quickly sent people to Europe to invite doctors to treat Meiji.

Lin Yi learned that Meiji was seriously ill, and out of courtesy also sent a medical team to Sakura Country to treat Meiji.

In fact, at this time, the first phase of the war has ended, and whether Meiji dies or not will not have much impact on Lin Yi's subsequent plans.

Therefore, Lin Yi's order to the medical team was to do their best.

But the problem is, Meiji has diabetes and needs insulin.

This thing is very valuable now. Even if Lin Yi personally called Meiji and said that the medicine empire could find a solution, Meiji, a stubborn old man, still refused.

He tried hard to control his diet. Although he persisted for half a year, he couldn't hold on anymore.

After persisting for half a year, Meiji finally died.

Lin Yi was still a little sad about Meiji's death. After all, as Tianhuang of Sakura Kingdom, he had enough bragging rights in his life.

But unfortunately, this guy is on the opposite side of the empire, and Meiji is destined to become an enemy.

Meiji died, and his son Yoshihito, later Taisho, succeeded to the throne.

Lin Yi didn't pay much attention to such a thing, and just asked Li Fu to send a high-level condolences group to attend Meiji's funeral.

Similarly, in July 1907, a major event also happened in Daxia.

That was when Luo Chen, who had been arrested and imprisoned for almost a year, was executed.

Originally, Zhao Xu wanted to drag Luo Chen to the execution ground and behead him, but at Lin Yi's suggestion, he decided to use lethal injection instead.

At the same time, Lin Yi felt that as a direct relative of Luo Chen, although he was suspected of covering up Luo Chen's crimes, he was not guilty enough to die.

Therefore, Luo Chen's two sons were changed from death penalty to exile, and their destination was Yizhou.

His two daughters were exempted from the crime because they were already married.

Lin Yi felt that by doing this, he was worthy of Luo Chen.

After all, Luo Chen still had to take the blame for him.
