"Have you heard? Our Taiwan is going to be ceded to Japanese pirates!" said a person who looked like a commoner.
"What? Is Taiwan about to be ceded?" "Yes! Is Taiwan about to be ceded?" "Have we been abandoned by the imperial court?" "How could the imperial court abandon us?" "My God! How can we live! ""Yes! Our ancestors have lived here for generations, what should we do now!" "I heard that Japanese pirates kill people without blinking an eye, what should we do!"...
As the news that Taiwan was about to be ceded broke out, the nerves of the people of Taiwan were immediately detonated. The people in Taiwan are all dumbfounded, because they never thought that Taiwan would be ceded. In the past, they heard that where they were ceded, it was all a matter of legend. Moreover, the ceded places are also border areas, and there are not many people. Back then, Hong Kong was also a small fishing village, so there were not many people who opposed it. Later, the Northeast and Northwest were considered barbaric lands by the imperial court, and there were not many people, so it was not too heartbreaking to cede them. As for the later Vietnam and North Korea, those were all vassal states, and they didn't feel any pain when the vassal states lost their imperial court.
But this time is different. Taiwan has a population of more than two million, and the land with a population of more than two million will be ceded even if it is said to be ceded. If Taiwan is ceded this time, it can be said that China will lose the largest population at one time. What's more, these Taiwanese people are all "abandoned" people, and they feel the pain even more. No matter what they say, they still admit that they are Chinese, and they still have loyal thoughts to the Manchu Qing court. Now it was actually ceded by the Manchu Qing court, so everyone feels extremely painful. If this is the case, then they will become slaves of the Japanese from now on, and this is something they cannot bear.
"Let's go to Governor Tang, and ask him if the imperial court wants to cede Taiwan?" "Go! Go to Governor Tang, we must get an answer!" "Yes! Let's go to Governor Tang!"...
Soon, countless people, led by the local gentry in Taiwan, came outside the governor's office one after another, hoping that Tang Jingsong would give an explanation. This time, it is of great importance. It is related to whether you will be slaves of the Japanese in the future. Can you not care about this? So next, no one dares to take it lightly. And the outside of the governor's yamen was soon besieged. Obviously, they didn't give an answer, so they didn't leave. And Tang Jingsong, the governor of Taiwan, also began to summon officials of the seventh rank and above in Taiwan to discuss it.
"Governor, is Taiwan going to be ceded? You tell us, is it really going to be ceded?" Dao Zhongman, the Taiwan soldier, asked.
This Taiwan Bingbeidao is the person responsible for the regulation of military equipment in Taiwan. Taiwan is isolated overseas, and the Manchu Qing court may have been afraid of an accident in Taiwan, so it specially sent a Manchu to serve as a military officer, responsible for supervising Taiwan's army. At this time, the news that Taiwan was to be ceded spread throughout Taiwan's official circles, and even the common people knew about it. At this time, everyone's interests are at stake, and no one can be alone. Even this loyal Manchurian must care about the future of Taiwan Island.
Tang Jingsong immediately said: "Everyone, the cession of Taiwan has been confirmed. Now in Xiaguan City of the Japanese pirates, the Japanese pirates have drawn up a treaty and forced Li Zhongtang to sign it. According to the information I got from the center, this time Li Zhongtang Signing has become inevitable. Li Zhongtang's signing has become inevitable, and the imperial court will definitely approve it. This time, Liaodong and Taiwan are ceded, and the imperial court will also approve it."
"what?"
When the news really came out, everyone was dumbfounded, because even though they had been officials for many years and were well-informed, this was the first time they encountered such a thing. They finally realized the feeling of humiliation, because what was ceded this time was not a small place, but a province with more than two million people. Ceding one province at a time is really a big deal. This is still Taiwan, and the north has also ceded Liaodong.
"What is the imperial court doing here? Liaodong is a land of dragon prosperity for our Manchus!" Zhongman said in pain.
Zhongman is a Manchu, and he has very deep feelings for Liaodong, a place where the Manchus thrive. But now hearing that the land of Longxing will be ceded, the pain in it is not something everyone can accept.
"However, now the emperor and the queen mother have sent a secret telegram with similar content, please prepare to receive the order!" Tang Jingsong said.
Everyone heard that Guangxu and Cixi both came to a secret decree, and the content was similar, so they immediately started preparing.
"The secret decree of the emperor and the queen mother is to tell us to continue fighting in Taiwan and strive to drive out the Japanese pirates. If it can be delayed for a day, mobilize all the people to fight against the Japanese pirates. If the Japanese pirates can be forced to spit out Taiwan, then we will all He is a great hero!" Tang Jingsong said.
Wang Guorui and countless other officials at the scene felt that 10,000 grass-mud horses were passing by. The hundreds of thousands of troops in eastern Liaodong, and the Beiyang Navy, which claims to be the No. 1 in East Asia and the No. 9 in the world, have not been able to defeat Japan. Let Taiwan, which needs guns but no guns and soldiers but no soldiers, organize its own resistance. Is this possible? ? So although everyone didn't say anything, they scolded the Manchu court countless times in their hearts.
"If you don't have my Red Police base, you will be able to defend Taiwan, it will be because the sun comes out from the west!" Wang Guorui thought to himself.
Wang Guorui knew that Man Qing's idea was very whimsical, and he actually wanted to resist through Taiwan, and then let the Japanese army find that they couldn't beat Taiwan, so they were forced to spit out Taiwan. At that time, after Japan spits out Taiwan, the Manchu Qing will still be able to continue to rule over Taiwan. This wishful thinking is really loud! But the guys in the Qing Dynasty who were full of **** didn't think about it. They have hundreds of thousands of soldiers with much better equipment than Taiwan, and they also have a relatively powerful navy. They have not been able to defeat Japan. Can Taiwan do this? ?
The Manchu and Qing bureaucrats didn't even think about it. They thought of this way with their asses, let Taiwan make trouble for Japan, and then Japan found it impossible to occupy Taiwan and gave up. But Japan has been staring at Taiwan for a long time. Can they just give up? Unless the strength of several of their divisions is wiped out, it is impossible for Japan to abandon Taiwan. Now in the eyes of Japan, Taiwan is the meat that needs to be in the mouth. How can it be spit out? If there is no Red Police base of Wang Guorui, it is inevitable that it will suffer heavy losses, and it will not be able to keep Taiwan.
"Wang Guorui!" Tang Jingsong suddenly called Wang Guorui's name.
Wang Guorui immediately said, "My subordinate is here!"
"Wang Guorui, can you still contact your Western arms dealer?" Tang Jingsong asked.
"Yes, they can provide ammunition at any time!" Wang Guorui said.
Tang Jingsong immediately said: "Now, the time has come to test everyone's loyalty to the imperial court. Everyone hastened to take out all the money in their hands, and then went to buy arms and arm the soldiers and civilians. Although those rifles were all ninety years ago , But it’s better than nothing! The imperial court promised the old man that as long as you can take out your own money to replenish the imperial court with armaments, then the imperial court will compensate you no matter how your money came from. Even, whoever pays Whoever has more money, will have more credit!"
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the news. Originally, the money everyone obtained through corruption was not visible. Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty was already very corrupt, there were still some rules that had to be followed, and the money was all shady. But now everyone has heard the news, as long as it is used to buy armaments, the imperial court will not care how you got the money, it will be compensated to you. This made everyone feel that this is a great opportunity to launder the dirty money of the past! In the past, everyone's money could not be seen, but now there is an opportunity to launder, and everyone wants to seize it.
"Master Tang, since the imperial court needs it, I will definitely take out my coffin book and use it to buy military equipment for the imperial court to defend Taiwan!" Someone shouted immediately.
Next, everyone began to express their loyalty, because this incident was a good opportunity to launder the dirty money in the past, and everyone wanted to seize this opportunity.
And Wang Guorui immediately thought to himself: "Grandma, I'm going to send it this time. All of you corrupt officials come to buy guns from me, how much will it cost! Every rifle like that from 90 years ago, UU Reading www .uukanshu.com sells it by the catty, and each gun is almost ten silver dollars. Since you are so rich, if I don’t take the opportunity to get it, what is it? With your money, I can expand quickly again Red Police Force."
Wang Guorui felt very happy. These corrupt officials finally took out all the money they had corrupted, so that he could take the opportunity to use the money of these corrupt officials to develop his own army. Wang Guorui was worrying about military expenditures, so the gang of corrupt officials sent money, and he would be blamed if he didn't take it that day.
"Wangzhi County, can the arms dealer you contacted provide enough arms?" Tang Jingsong asked.
"Yes, definitely! As long as you have money, you can provide it. However, they only accept cash and do not accept any other banknotes. This..." Wang Guorui said hesitantly.
"Okay, everyone prepare cash as soon as possible, and take out whatever you have. At this time of national crisis, don't have any thoughts about keeping it. Anyway, the imperial court will replenish it for you when the time comes, so don't be afraid of anything wrong." Sufficient!" Tang Jingsong said.
"Your Majesty would like to obey Master Tang's orders!" Everyone said quickly. (It’s a great event to drop pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!
