Chapter 7 How much is the person worth on the 7th day?

So Huafang Yizhi entered the palace angrily, and asked to see the regent Li Gangying. This mutiny resulted in the killing of many Japanese businessmen and the destruction of the Japanese embassy in North Korea. So morally, North Korea is naturally on the wrong side. Moreover, North Korea’s national power is incomparable to that of Japan. He won a good round for his country at the negotiating table. The two sides agreed: Article 1: North Korea pays 500,000 yuan in compensation to compensate for the loss of life and property of Japanese nationals caused by the military chaos; Article 2: North Korea allows Japan to set up two squadrons of 400 garrison troops to station in North Korea to protect the Japanese embassy in North Korea...

With these two agreements, it can be said that the Japanese took a big advantage, and Yoshika Hanafura was finally able to explain to his country and people, so he left the palace contentedly and went back to the barracks. Unexpectedly, when Yuan Shikai arrived in Seoul, he sent people to investigate the cause of the military disturbance. After learning that the military disturbance was instigated by the regent Li Gangying, Yuan Shikai secretly sent people to target the regent.The results of negotiations between Li Gangying and Huafang Yizhi were all overheard by Yuan Shikai. Hearing that Li Gang should pay the Japanese 500,000 yuan, Yuan Shikai immediately became angry:

The few Japanese who died, even the belt and bone weighed only a few hundred catties, how could it be worth the price?What kind of diplomatic negotiation is this? This is pure transnational reselling of human flesh! no!Yuan Shikai made up his mind that he must mess up this business.
