The imperial court's envoys and Japanese envoys were quickly driven away, and Wang Guorui had to be surprised that Japan was so "naïve". The Japanese thought that as long as the imperial court gave an order, then Wang Guorui would also obey, because they believed that Wang Guorui was a loyal minister of the Manchu court. This reminds Wang Guorui of a common saying in later generations, the people are afraid of officials, officials are afraid of foreigners, and foreigners are afraid of the people. Sometimes the civilian armed forces were more powerful in resisting foreign enemies, and the foreigners were all afraid, so they actually took the initiative to ask the Manchu officials to order the civilian armed forces to stop resisting. The Manchu court was afraid of the foreigners, and apparently immediately ordered the civilian armed forces to stop resisting, and the foreigners succeeded in getting the results they wanted without a single shot. I have to say that this is a very speechless situation and a cyclical process that is difficult to explain. However, after all, Wang Guorui was a person who wanted to secede Taiwan, so naturally he would not stop those orders of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he directly bombed them away.

"Lord Wang, the Japanese commander has sent an envoy, hoping to discuss with you about a temporary ceasefire!" Someone reported.

When Wang Guorui heard this, he also knew that the Japanese army finally couldn't hold it anymore and wanted to cease fire. Wang Guorui guessed that the Japanese army might have made two preparations, on the one hand, that is, let the Manchus send a special envoy to force Wang Guorui to surrender, if Wang Guorui surrendered, there would be no problem, but if Wang Guorui refused to submit, then Japan could only admit it and authorize Kawakami Caoliu to sign a ceasefire agreement.

"Commander of the Chinese people, our Imperial Japanese Army came to take over Taiwan, and you actually prevented our Imperial Japanese Army from receiving Taiwan, causing huge losses to our Imperial Japanese Army, you must immediately stop fighting with our Imperial Japanese Army, and then wait for our Imperial Japanese Army to deal with it!" This was stated by the Japanese envoy.

And Wang Guorui was speechless, what kind of guy is this, he is so stupid. Obviously, he has an absolute advantage on the battlefield. He was still so angry.

"Smack!" Wang Guorui slapped the so-called envoy in the face, and then said: "Listen to me, you Japan is invading Taiwan this time, and we are protecting our homeland. If so. Let's not talk about it, keep fighting! ”

"Two adults, don't say that, since everyone wants a ceasefire, then we might as well put aside our dispute for the time being and discuss the matter of peace talks together!" A young man in his thirties said.

"Who are you?" Wang Guorui asked.

"I'm Gu Xianrong, a Taiwanese gentry!" The young man said.

Wang Guorui snorted: "This time, for the sake of you being an exchange person sent by the Japanese army, I won't kill you!" But if I meet you in the future. I'm going to kill you! ”

And Gu Xianrong trembled for a while, obviously very afraid of Wang Guorui's words. Because now, of course, he knows that Japan is about to fail, and he, a traitor, is really going to be liquidated. When the time comes, he is going to be unlucky, so what will happen to him? He originally thought that the Japanese army was menacing, but now that the Japanese army has been defeated, it is obviously incredible. He cooperated with Japan to save his fortune and life. But now that Japan has failed, I'm afraid he is not a human being inside and out.

"Alright. Let's hurry up and negotiate a ceasefire! The outcome of this war is no longer a problem that our people can solve. We have to report it to the country, and let the country send a commissioner to solve it in person. Before that, however, we may wish to discuss a ceasefire. In this war, both of us have paid a great price. Therefore, the sixth commander of Kawakami Cao does not want us to continue to suffer from misery, so we should do our best to achieve a ceasefire, and then the specific matter will be handled by the central governments of both sides to send commissioners to deal with it personally. The Japanese envoy said.

The Japanese envoys also softened a lot, who let them suffer setbacks on the battlefield, so they had to take the initiative to soften. Their supply lines have now been cut off. And they have been compressed by Wang Guorui in Taipei, and Wang Guorui can annihilate them at any time. Therefore, they had to give in, or they would die. Therefore, the Japanese envoy was still very arrogant at the beginning, but this arrogance was forced, so Wang Guorui didn't have to be afraid of him at all. After Wang Guorui exposed their situation, he didn't dare to be arrogant. This means that there is no strength behind it, so I have to take the initiative to surrender.

"I propose that we temporarily cease fighting for fifteen days, and then wait for the commissioner from the country to come and deal with the affairs of our war. As for what to do with it when the time comes, it doesn't matter what our army does. So, please also try your best to cease fire, and then you will provide us with some military supplies. The Japanese envoy said.

And Wang Guorui immediately said: "If you want to replenish, there is no problem." You can spend money to buy food supplies for one meal per person, and we will have one or two pieces of silver. ”

"How can it be so expensive? Are you bird's nest or abalone, you're blackmailing! The Japanese envoy said angrily.

Wang Guorui's price is really dark enough, and it costs one or two silver for a meal for one person, which is simply black enough. In the next life, it will be worth at least a few hundred yuan, but this is just in exchange for a meal for one person. Of course, it is not surprising how expensive the meal is if you eat and drink a lot, but this is indeed the army, where is there any bird's nest abalone to eat? This made the Japanese army very angry, and it was obvious that Wang Guorui was blackmailing.

"I'm just blackmailing, what can you do to me?" Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui is still really blackmailing, there is such a good opportunity for blackmail, how can he be worthy of his Chinese conscience if he does not blackmail! Now that the Japanese have fallen into their own hands, of course they must be exploited, these are all good things!

"We're on the march, where is the money?" The Japanese envoy said.

"You can trade weapons, such as cannons, war horses, and even all kinds of weapons as a trade, so that we can also make a deal." Wang Guorui said.

The Japanese envoy immediately said: "I can't make up my own mind about this, I must go back and ask the commander." As for the second point, which is about a ceasefire between our two sides, we will discuss next. Our commander has been able to cease fire for fifteen days, so that we can wait for the commissioner in the country to come and deal with our affairs. ”

"Fifteen days? Why should I cease fire? You're already the turtle in our urn! Wang Guorui said.

"Although it is easy for you to annihilate us, you have also formed a deep enmity with our Great Japanese Empire. Therefore, at that time, once the navy of our Imperial Japan was able to blockade Taiwan, then I am afraid that you would not be able to get out. The Japanese envoy said.

And the corners of Wang Guorui's mouth twitched, these Japanese soldiers still have two brushes, and they actually saw that they didn't want to make a mortal enemy with Japan so quickly. Who left themselves without a navy and therefore had to take the initiative to compromise? If he has a strong navy, then the ghost is the one who birds.

And then, the Japanese envoy also took the initiative to bring a person, saying: "This is James, the consul of Taiwan of the British Empire, and now he represents the consul of various countries in Taiwan, and hopes that our Imperial Japanese Army and your army can cease fire with each other for fifteen days." ”

"Your Excellency the Chinese General, on behalf of the consuls of various countries in Taiwan, I hope that there will be a temporary ceasefire between China and Japan and then sit down and negotiate. As for Taiwan's future ownership and destiny, it should be peaceful negotiations, not the continuation of the war, and the lives of people will be ruined. In this war, there are enough casualties on both sides, so it is better to sit down and negotiate peacefully. British Taiwanese consul James said.

Wang Guorui listened to the words of the British consul and knew that the British probably wanted to act as a mediator, so as to gain a lot of benefits. However, he also wants to see if Wang Guorui will follow his script.

"A ceasefire can be held for 15 days, but we will sign a ceasefire agreement, which will be witnessed by your consuls. When the time comes, no one will be able to disobey it, understand? Wang Guorui said.

And the British consul James immediately agreed: "We, the British Empire, are willing to be witnesses, and the consuls of all countries are willing to bear witness and supervise the ceasefire on both sides." If anyone dares to disobey, it is to say that we do not take the British Empire seriously. I am confident that the prestige of my British Empire still exists in the whole world. ”

James didn't say much about this question, and he thought that as long as there was an agreement witnessed by the British, there would be no problem. The face of the British Empire still has to be given, so he believes that neither Taiwan nor the Japanese army will dare to disobey the agreement witnessed by the British Empire. What's more, this incident has nothing to do with the British Empire, he just wants to ensure his own safety. Now the consuls of various countries are in the consulates, and they are also afraid that the flames of war will burn on their heads at any time, so they naturally do not think about anything to continue the war. As for what is next, they just hope that this war will be acceptable, and then wait for specific orders at home. Which side to support at that time depends on the domestic order.

Soon, a ceasefire agreement was signed in the presence of the consuls of various countries. Then, both sides also began a ceasefire for 15 days, waiting for specific domestic commissioners to deal with it. It is foreseeable that the next war is on the verge of ending, and everyone can keep Taiwan. After a year of hard work, everyone finally realized the idea of keeping Taiwan, and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief.

And Wang Guorui looked at this agreement with the ink not dry, and showed a very sinister smile. (To be continued......)
