The strength of the Northeast Army made Japan realize that if the peace talks are not reached as soon as possible, the Japanese Army will suffer greater losses, not only will it lose the interests of China, but it is afraid that even Goryeo will not be able to protect it. Japan has to bow its head, which is also one of the reasons why Yan Zi returned to Jizhou City. Of course, he would rather come back to celebrate Yi Huan’s birthday. During the Chinese New Year, it is better to give it on the same day.

At noon, Yi Huan and his family went to Donglaishun. Yan Zihui welcomed the Japanese envoy, Russian envoy, Citi, British envoy... The envoys of seven or eight countries. Yan Zihui reiterated the demand for the peace talks, "Water must give up all interests in the Northeast and withdraw from the Northeast. The prisoners of war captured by the Northeast Army must be redeemed with money..."

Before Yan Zi could finish his reply, the Japanese envoy shouted angrily: "No, absolutely not. The interests of Japan must be defended." Not only could he not agree to such conditions, but Japan could not accept them. For the benefit of the Northeast, Japan paid 100,000 casualties and nearly 2 billion Japanese dollars in military expenditure to obtain it. How could it be given up just like this?

Yan Zihui did not give in, "If Japan does not agree, then the war will continue. I promise that you will lose more." Xu Jinluo told him that the Krupp heavy artillery with extremely powerful power has arrived. If you defeat the Japanese army in Kangshan, you can drive straight in. The army will meet with the 7th Infantry Division and the 9th Infantry Division, press down on the Goryeo border, and regain this vassal state that has been China since ancient times.

The differences between the two sides are still a bit large and it is difficult to reach an agreement. If there is no external force intervention, the peace talks will probably fail again. Several ministers were coaxing, persuading, and frightening, and finally made the Japanese minister retreat, and Yan Zihui was satisfied.

On the afternoon of March 23, 1919, under the witness of the ministers of various countries, the Japanese minister and the commander of the Northeast Army, Governor Yan, signed the armistice agreement, and the war ended. Of course, this was only a temporary end. Both the Japanese ministers and Governor Yan knew that the war would still happen, and Japan would not be so willing to give up its interests in China.

In the afternoon, when Zhang Shaochuan talked about the ransom of prisoners of war, he was in trouble again. The Japanese minister shamelessly said: "The Japanese have given up asking for war reparations. For the sake of the friendship between our two countries, the Japanese side believes that your country should release those prisoners of war unconditionally."

Zhang Shaochuan was angry and laughed, "Friendship? Master, I'm sorry. If your country cannot pay enough ransom, we will not hand over these prisoners of war to your country."

After the two of them were verbally quarreled, the Japanese envoy finally asked for instructions from the country and redeemed more than 10,000 prisoners of war for one million pounds. Yan Zihui was considering whether to catch more prisoners of war next time to exchange for money, or to directly kill the Japanese soldiers.

The Northeast forced Japan to surrender, and the warlords in the south were in an uproar. They secretly decided not to launch troops to fight the Northeast Army before they had enough strength, so as to avoid being swallowed by the Northeast Army. The remaining Zhang army in Hebei Province also shrank in the mountains and forests, and did not dare to emerge again, for fear of being eliminated.

The content of the peace talks was simply reported in the newspaper, and the people were excited and rushed to the streets to celebrate, sweeping away the humiliation of that year. China was happy, but Japan was so angry that it gritted its teeth and always thought about how to make up for it.

The chief staff officer of the Japanese General Staff Saburo Ibene said to the Japanese military general Kurokizaka in China: "General, according to the information we have obtained, although the leader of the Northeast Army is Yan Zhiquan, his youngest son Yan Zihui has gradually emerged. This peace talks are also his leading role. The most important thing is that Yan Zihui is a hardliner who is in charge of war. With him, it is difficult for the empire to achieve great achievements."

Kurokizaka Nishi touched the Ying Yang under his nose and said, "This is an open secret in the Northeast Army. The Chinese people value the eldest son. We originally wanted to provoke the relationship between Yan Zikang and Yan Zihui. Unfortunately, Yan Zikang is a barbarian. He is thinking about leading troops to fight. He has no greed for power and trusts Yan Zihui very much. It is Yan Zisi who can use it."

"Yan Zisi and Yan Zikang, Yan Zikang, were not born to the same mother. In Chinese terms, he was a concubine's son and was not qualified to be Yan Zhiquan's successor. Yan Zisi did not have the trust of Yan Zhiquan. Now he has been arranged to search and suppress the remnants of the Yan family in Hebei Province, and is not in Jizhou City." Saburo Jingbian looked at the information in his hand and said.

"Kun Ibida, we can't let the Tohoku Army develop and strengthen further." Kurokisaka Nishi said heavily.

"Yes, General." Saburo Ine nodded in agreement.

"What's the best way do you have?" Kurokizaka Nishi asked in a deep voice.

Saburo Ibena said with a ferocious expression: "God of General, there is a good way to solve the problem once and for all for the empire."

Kurokizaka Nishi asked, "Yoxi, Ibi-kun, what's your best way?"

Saburo Ibena made a throat-cutting action. Kurokizaka Nishi thought for a while and shook his head, "As far as I know, Yan Zi went out on the open without a guard, but someone secretly protected him, and he was very capable. It was almost impossible to assassinate him. Besides, we signed a ceasefire agreement. If he assassinated, it would probably lead to the ceasefire agreement and even the war would resurgence."

"God of General, this matter is not required to be handled by the government and the military, but it can be left to civilian organizations." Saburo Inebe understands where his concerns are.

Kurokizaka Nishi's eyes lit up, "Are you saying that you will leave it to the Black Dragon Club?"

"Yes, General. If you succeed, it will be very beneficial to the empire. Even if you fail, you can still put the black pot on the Black Dragon Society." Saburo Ibene smiled.

"Yoxi, go and contact the people from the Black Dragon Club." Kurokizaka Nishi agreed.

Saburo Ibene saluted and retreated to find Uchida Kiyohei, vice president of the Black Dragon Association in charge of Chinese affairs. "Only Uchida, we hope that the Black Dragon Association can find a way to get rid of Yan Zihui, the head of the Northeast Army's teaching regiment."

"A small team leader, what's the point of getting rid of him? It's better to kill Yan Zhiquan directly." Uchida Kiyohira frowned.

Saburo Ineba explained that although Uchida Kiyohei understood the importance of Yan Zihui, he was not a fool, "Why don't you do it yourself and let us take action?"

"On Uchida, the empire is not ready for another war, so the Northeast cannot realize that this is a government act." Saburo Ineba replied.

Although the risk of assassinating Yan Zihui is very high, maybe he will take the blame. However, if he succeeds, it is a good thing whether it is for the Empire or the Black Dragon Club. Uchida Kiyohei thought about it and agreed to take action. Saburo Ibene also left with satisfaction. Yan Zihui didn't know that Japan sent a killer to assassinate him, and he was taking Yi Huan to the horse riding field at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain.
