Chapter 699: The Treasure Island Problem
Historically. After the Qing government unified Taiwan, it set up the Taiwan government in Taiwan, under the jurisdiction of Taiwan, Fengshan, and Zhuluo counties, which were under the jurisdiction of Fujian Province, and later changed to 2 prefectures, 8 counties and 4 departments, which were still subordinate to Fujian. Due to the special geographical location of Taiwan, in order to consolidate coastal defense, in November 1875, Shen Baozhen, the minister of the Qin Mission, proposed to set up a "Fujian Governor" under the name of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and to serve Taiwan in winter and spring, and Fuzhou in summer and autumn.
In this way, it is true that Taiwan is directly administered, but the governor must go back and forth between the two places.
Later, the new governor of Fujian, Ding Richang, could not be stationed in Taiwan as scheduled, so he asked the imperial court to send another important minister to Taiwan and set up a "Taiwan governor" instead. The Qing government agreed to Ding Richang's request, and the three-year policy of "stationing in Taiwan in winter and spring" was revised to set up a separate governor in Taiwan, and only then did the famous Taiwan governor Liu Mingchuan come into being.
Wang Xiaoyang clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "Taiwan is our territory, and now it is being attacked by the army of the United States of America, which is a provocation by the other side, and it must be counterattacked." ”
Wang Yide, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, shook his head slightly, frowned and said: "Taiwan is a province in Fujian, and it is true that it will fight back, but how to fight back?" Fujian's troops are very weak and their weapons are also very backward, and it is definitely not possible to engage the foreigners in battle. My idea was to ask Qi Zhenhai, commander of the Second Division, stationed in Guangzhou, to lead his troops to Taiwan to fight against the American army. ”
Qi Zhenhai said decisively: "It is incumbent on you to strike at the enemy!" ”
The corners of Wang Xiaoyang's mouth turned up, and he said unhurriedly: "It doesn't matter if the troops are not good, but Fujian Province is rich." Taiwan is a prefecture under Fujian Province, and if something happens to the Taiwan government, do you pat your ass and do nothing, just watch our soldiers fight hard. If so, I must report the matter to the king of Zhennan, and say that you do not think that your soldiers are good, and do not plan to send them. ”
After saying this, Wang Yide's face changed greatly.
Li Zhen's general trend has become a trend, and his strength is increasing every day.
Wang Yide is the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and he holds the power of Fujian and Zhejiang, but he has no soldiers and horses under him who are good at fighting, and he himself is not a good commander, and he has no capital to resist Li Zhen. Wang Yide also arranged for someone to inquire about the news of Nanjing, and learned that Li Zhen was actively expanding the army, which had expanded from an army of tens of thousands to an army of more than 100,000.
Li Zhen's strength is so strong, Wang Yide does not dare to compete with Li Zhen.
Moreover, Li Zhen controls the little emperor and has an orthodox name, which Wang Yide does not have, so Wang Yide has no confidence when he hears Wang Xiaoyang's words.
Wang Yide secretly scolded Wang Xiaoyang for being cunning, but everyone was surnamed Wang, but Wang Xiaoyang pulled out Li Zhen as a banner.
Fujian Governor Qingduan said: "Governor Wang rest assured, we will not sit idly by and ignore the affairs related to the Taiwan government." In terms of weapons, the 2nd Division stationed in Guangzhou was too far beyond the weapons of the soldiers in Fuzhou, and you could not look down on the weapons we supplied. Therefore, we in Fujian Province have provided sufficient logistical supplies, whether it is food for soldiers or for soldiers to wear. Even, we have made up for the salaries of the soldiers of the Second Division during its expedition to Taiwan, and this is enough. ”
"Lord Qingduan cherishes the country, and Wang admires it."
Wang Xiaoyang smiled slightly, changed his words, and said: "We can't use the weapons of the Fujian army, but you still have to supply." When we arrive in Taiwan, the weapons you send will be distributed to the local garrison, as well as to the local people, who will mobilize all their forces to stop the US military. So, you still have to supply weapons. ”
When Qingduan heard this, he secretly scolded Wang Xiaoyang for being shameless.
You have your own arsenal in Guangzhou, but let Fuzhou supply it.
Ye Mingchen stroked his beard, looked at Wang Yide with a smile, and said, "Governor Wang, what Governor Wang said makes sense. Now it is not a question of a few bullets or a few guns, but we must support Taiwan as soon as possible. In terms of supporting Taiwan, I hope that you will do your best. The king of Zhennan has always had no good impression of foreigners, and hates foreigners very much, as long as you do your best, after this war, the king of Zhennan will remember you. ”
Wang Xiaoyang raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart that Ye Mingchen, this old guy, is powerful.
In a word, hit the nail on the head.
Wang Yide's heart sank and said: "Okay, Fujian will give maximum support. ”
The two sides reached an agreement, Wang Xiaoyang looked at Qi Zhenhai and said, "Senior Commander Qi, Taiwan's affairs are urgent, and you must dispatch troops to Taiwan to support in the shortest possible time." As for whether to send one brigade or two brigades, you have to deal with it at your discretion, and you must hold Taiwan and repel the American soldiers. ”
"Yes!"
Qi Zhenhai agreed, and the battle intent in his heart was awe-inspiring.
After some discussions, the specific number of logistics to be supplied by Fujian was determined. Wang Yide and Qingduan left the governor's yamen, and Ye Mingchen also turned to leave.
At the conference table, only Wang Xiaoyang and Qi Zhenhai remained.
Wang Xiaoyang said, "Senior Qi, is there anything else?" ”
Qi Zhenhai nodded and said solemnly: "Taiwan's affairs are not trivial, and I have to say hello to the prince." I would like to ask Governor Wang to write a secret letter to inform the prince of the affairs of Taiwan, so that the prince will know in his heart. ”
Wang Xiaoyang said: "If you don't say it, I will do it, don't worry." ”
……
Nanjing, in the post house.
Noda Yoo waited for a few days, thinking that the last time he angered Li Zhen had passed, and he led people to Zhennan Wangfu again. Yoo Noda came, and it was still Zheng Zaoru who received him. Zheng Zaoru's expression was flat, and he said: "Mr. Noda, the prince will not go to the Wa Kingdom, you should die of this heart." Go back and rest for two days, and then set off for the Wa Kingdom. ”
When Noda Yoo heard this, he had a preconceived idea in his heart that Li Zhen would let him give benefits.
It must be the original 'your sister'!
Noda gritted his teeth and said very slowly, "Mr. Zheng, I have two younger sisters. Please tell King Zhennan that if King Zhennan can afford his sister at home, I am willing to sacrifice my two younger sisters to King Zhennan, and only ask King Zhennan to go to Japan to teach our Japanese generals how to revitalize the national strength. ”
"Poof!"
After Zheng Zaoru heard this, he was immediately happy.
This person really doesn't understand the meaning of 'your sister'! Zheng Zaoru was amused in her heart, but said calmly: "I'll go and report to the prince immediately." After that, Zheng Zaoru quickly left the hall and came to Li Zhen's study, and said: "Lord, Yoo Noda is here, he wants to sacrifice his two younger sisters, and ask the prince to move to Japan." ”
"Hahaha......"
Li Zhen was amused and thought it was extremely funny, Yoo Noda was willing to do it!
Zheng Zaoru said: "Lord Wang, how do you reply to Yoo Noda?" ”
Li Zhen thought for a moment and said: "I didn't plan to go to Japan, but Yoo Noda has been staying in Nanjing to mess around, which is irritating. You reply to him, add his two sisters, and ask the Japanese emperor to send a princess of the Japanese imperial family to Nanjing, and I will agree to their request and go to Japan. ”
"Ahh
Zheng Zaoru had a surprised expression on his face and said, "Lord Wang, what if they really sent it?" ”
Li Zhen smiled and said, "If the emperor of Japan really sent the princess, I have another reason to refuse!" Anyway, let's keep making things difficult for Yoo Noda. To deal with these little devils, don't give face, just trample on them. The more ruthless you are to him, the more cruel you are, the more respectful he is to you. ”
"Yes!"
Zheng Zaoru scratched her head, turned around and left the study.
