Chapter 34 Delivery of Taiwan

Happy times always fly by, since Wang Guorui forcibly pushed down that Zheng Hong, Zheng Hong also accepted his fate and took the initiative to be Wang Guorui's woman. And Wang Guorui, a virgin, finally got rid of the shameful title of virgin and began to linger with Zheng Hong like glue. And since Wang Guorui touched a woman, he has been very knowledgeable, and he has been pestering Zheng Hong almost every day. And Wang Guorui also went to tune it several times. Drama Tanya, but Tanya is not as easy to solve as Zheng Hong, Tanya cleans up Wang Guorui every time, so that Wang Guorui is not depressed.

Wang Guorui has also been with Zheng Hong in the past two months, obviously like a couple who fell in love. However, because of Wang Guorui's control, Zheng Hong did not get pregnant. Although Wang Guorui gave birth to children as soon as possible, he also knew that it was not suitable to have children at this time, so he deliberately used the female menstrual cycle of later generations to plan, and never did that kind of thing when Zheng Hong was suitable for pregnancy and menstrual cycle. In this way, Wang Guorui will be able to have more reasons to get close to women.

However, time still flies, and this happy day did not last long, and the time came to May 31, 1895, when Tang Jingsong, the governor of Taiwan, took the initiative to call all the officials above the seventh grade in Taiwan and announced a heavy matter.

"I have made an agreement with the Japanese Invaders to hand over Taiwan with the Japanese Invaders on June 3, 1895 A.D. in the Western calendar. That is, after three days, Taiwan will no longer belong to our Qing Dynasty. Next, it's up to us. The imperial court has already issued an order that we must hold back the Japanese and let them take the initiative to evacuate after knowing that they cannot occupy Taiwan. As long as they can force the Japanese to leave, then everyone is a hero of the imperial court, and they will be rewarded by the imperial court. Therefore, please work together and swear allegiance to my Qing Dynasty! Tang Jingsong shouted righteously.

Wang Guorui looked at Tang Jingsong's shout, and complained in his heart: "Hmph, don't look at the righteous words you chant now, but if according to the original history, you were the first to run away after the Japanese army landed." Not long after the Japanese army landed, you took the initiative to cross to the mainland after a little fighting, and as a result, you left a mess for Taiwan, what kind of loyal minister are you? ”

Although Wang Guorui looked down on this Tang Jingsong very much in his heart, he didn't say it, after all, he is now a reasonable and legitimate governor of Taiwan, and he always has to leave him some face. However, Wang Guorui has already begun to prepare, and this task is very difficult.

"Swear allegiance to the court!" Wang Guorui and other officials shouted together, but what they thought in their hearts, there was no way to know.

After Wang Guorui finished the meeting at the Taiwan Governor's Office, he immediately returned to Hsinchu County to continue to inspect the army's preparedness.

"Wang Zhixian, our Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army has the establishment of a division, this division has three infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, and various directly subordinate troops, adding up to about 15,000 people. And our reserve troops are also stepping up their training and striving to be able to go to the battlefield as soon as possible! Hu Wei said.

Wang Guorui nodded, this is the result of his plan to build an army in 100 days. Although there are only 15,000 people, and most of them are recruits who have not experienced actual combat, at least they are the results of their own work within 100 days. If you want to be better, Wang Guorui thinks that she can't do it. And the next troops, that is, after the next battle, can be trained as much as possible. Now equipment is not a problem, it is the people who matter. As long as the soldiers can be trained as much as possible, there will be no shortage of equipment, and with the support of the Red Police base system, will there still be a shortage of equipment?

However, Wang Guorui is not completely unconfident, because their firepower is much stronger than that of the Japanese army, even if the training and combat effectiveness of the soldiers are not as good as the Japanese army that has experienced actual combat, then the firepower must make up for the disadvantage of insufficient training. And in the next battle, it can also allow the soldier to slowly adapt to the atmosphere of the battlefield, and then he can become a qualified soldier.

The time of three days came quickly, and the Japanese Guards Division also came to the sea outside Keelung, Taiwan, under the cover of the Japanese Combined Fleet, ready to land at any time. According to the process this time, Taiwan should be delivered, first of all, by the representative of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Li Jingfang, and the Japanese army's representative of the Admiral, the Japanese governor appointed by the Japanese Governor Kayama Shikiri.

And I have to say that this Li Jingfang came here this time to be the delivery representative, and he will inevitably become a sinner through the ages. Everyone knows that as this representative, he will inevitably be scolded by the people in China, and even leave a stench for 10,000 years. No one wanted to take on this unlucky errand, so Li Jingfang and Li Hongzhang wanted to refuse several times.

But none of those Manchu officials were treacherous guys, anyway, they pushed Li Jingfang out. After all, this Sino-Japanese treaty of Shimonoseki was signed by Li Hongzhang, and his son also wanted to take the initiative to bear this infamy. Therefore, Li Jingfang was forced to come here to settle with the Japanese army when his resignation was fruitless.

"Mr. Li Jingfang, please sign the delivery paperwork!" Japanese Navy Admiral Shiki Kayama said.

Li Jingfang used a trembling hand to sign the delivery document. And Li Jingfang knew that after he signed, he might have left a stain that could not be washed away in his life, and he would also become a sinner of the country and the nation.

"Mr. Li Jingfang, will you follow me to Taiwan to have a look?" Shiki Kayama asked.

Li Jingfang said bitterly: "Taiwanese people think that my father and I betrayed Taiwan, and if I go to Taiwan, I am afraid that I will be besieged and killed by them!" ”

Li Jingfang said it well, countless people in Taiwan think that Li Hongzhang and Li Jingfang betrayed the country when they negotiated with the Japanese, so they hated Li Hongzhang and Li Jingfang in their hearts. If Li Jingfang arrives in Taiwan, I am afraid that it will be eaten alive by the Taiwanese. And Li Jingfang actually thinks that he is wronged, because he knows that no matter who goes to Japan to negotiate, the final result will not change. But who made him carry this black cauldron? Since he carried the black cauldron, he naturally had the idea of hiding, otherwise he would really be skinned alive by the Taiwanese. Li Jingfang is already sure that he will never come to Taiwan in his life, after all, he has no face to meet his parents and fellow villagers in Taiwan.

Kayama Shiki watched Li Jingfang leave, obviously not taking Li Jingfang in his eyes. And Shiki Kayama looked at Taiwan in the distance, and he knew that this land would belong to Japan next. And this was also the first step in their Japanese development, the first colony they occupied from China. And with this piece of Taiwan, it can be regarded as worth it. Although Liaodong has been interfered with by other countries and then returned to China, Taiwan must be swallowed. If Taiwan cannot be annexed, then the First Sino-Japanese War will really be fought in vain.

"Your Excellency the Governor, this time we have received information, and the Chinese will not directly cooperate with us in receiving Taiwan. They are ready to resist and are ready to fight us in Taiwan at any time. This time, Taiwan's equipment is much better than we imagined, and they have colluded with some Western arms smugglers out of nowhere, and have obtained more than 70,000 old-fashioned rifles. And this old rifle is the kind of paper bullet case rifle from about a few decades ago, although it is nothing to us, but it can be regarded as a certain ability to resist. So please be careful, Lord Governor, Taiwan will become a hard bone if it is not good! A staff officer said.

This Taiwanese army has a large number of old rifles, which cannot be kept secret at all, because Taiwan is full of Japanese spies. However, because Wang Guorui's army is on guard at any time here, ordinary spies can't get close at all. This kind of little spy came to kill one by one, so the secrets of Wang Guorui's army were not exposed. The Japanese did not know that there was a unit like Wang Guorui, so although they knew that the Taiwanese army had old rifles, they did not know the existence of the Red Guard soldiers.

When a Japanese lieutenant general laughed: "Akashi Motonakasa, you also think too highly of these people!" Even if these people have acquired some old rifles, they have not been trained, how can they be our opponents? We can't look down on these old rifles, and we can directly defeat them. They simply could not be our opponents, and our Imperial Japanese Army was invincible. ”

"Your Excellency, it's better to be careful!" Akashi Motochusa said.

The division commander of this guards division is Kita-Shirakawa Miyano Nohisa, a Japanese imperial clan and a lieutenant general of the Japanese Army. And he looks down on the Chinese army very much, after all, the regular army of the Chinese army has been beaten to the ground by them, and it is obvious that they do not look down on these volunteers temporarily formed by Taiwan at all. Even the weapons of these Taiwanese troops are extremely bad, and they can't look down on this kind of rifle from 90 years ago. Now that time has changed, the tactics of 90 years ago are no longer useful at all, so he is not optimistic about what the Taiwan army will be able to do at all.

That Akashi Motochusa could only shake his head when he looked at the arrogance of Kita-Shirakawa Palace for a long time. And no one knows that even in the original history, this North Shirakawa Palace Nengjiu died in Taiwan, and he was a complete unlucky ghost. Akashi Motochusa deeply doubted that this attack on Taiwan might not be so smooth, after all, the enemy's weapons and equipment were already much stronger than expected. Although he did not doubt that Japan would win, he believed that his side would lose a lot more than he had previously anticipated.

And these Japanese people have no idea that Taiwan will become an eternal nightmare for the whole of Japan.
