Chapter 105: Get Out

Time flew to May 1896, and Wang Guorui had been traveling for more than a year and two months. And now he has squeezed the Japanese army in the area of Taipei, and now even ordinary people in Taiwan can see that Taiwan is about to win. And Wang Guorui did not directly annihilate these hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, that is because he must leave some leeway. After all, Taiwan does not have a navy, and Taiwan will have to develop outside in the future. If Taiwan wants to develop outward, it will certainly not be able to completely fall out with Japan. At least until the Navy is completed by itself, it cannot be completely destroyed. This is also a compromise, if Japan dispatches its navy to blockade Taiwan all the time, it will not be beneficial to Wang Guorui's future. Therefore, leaving the lives of hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers can at least have room for mutual compromise.

"Just wait for the devil to take the initiative to come over to negotiate peace, this time the peace, we must not be able to speak. We must let the devils take the initiative to sue for peace with us, and if we take the initiative to speak, they will inevitably take the opportunity to blackmail us, then we will lose more than we gain. We have the initiative now and don't need to be in too much of a hurry. The lives of more than 100,000 people in Japan are in our hands, and they are the ones who are anxious. Their navy has already been cowardly, so we are naturally not afraid that they will have external support. Wang Guorui said.

"Lord Wang, news has just come from Kaohsiung, Tainan, that the imperial court has sent an envoy from the Imperial Court to come over with the envoys of the Imperial Court." A government official said.

And Wang Guorui frowned, at this time, the mainland actually sent the so-called Qin messenger over, which was obviously a bit unexpected. Moreover, there is a Japanese envoy next to the Chincha, which is simply ridiculous.

"Which one is Wang Guorui of Daqing Zhuzhi County?" A man with a duck's voice said, and at first glance he knew that he was a eunuch.

And the Japanese envoy next to him actually said: "You make it clear to me that Taiwan is now the territory of our Great Japanese Empire." You, the magistrate of Hsinchu County, are illegal. ”

"Hehe, yes yes yes yes it's me not!" The eunuch immediately licked his face and laughed.

And the eunuch immediately said: "Which one is Wang Guorui, the former magistrate of Daqing Freshman County?" ”

Wang Guorui immediately said: "I am, do you have something?" ”

Wang Guorui obviously doesn't have a good impression, after all, not everyone has a good impression of eunuchs. And now when I hit Japan just right, what did these Manchu birdmen do. Nothing good is for sure. At the level of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, even good things can be turned into bad things, which can be seen from the war between Vietnam and France that year.

"The emperor's holy decree, please accept the decree of Wang Guorui of the original fresh bamboo county!" The eunuch said.

"Hmph, is it a holy decree? Well, let's read it out in front of the people of Taiwan! Wang Guorui said.

"That's fine!" The eunuch said.

And next. The people of Taiwan heard that the Manchu court sent to read the holy decree to Wang Guorui, and they all came out to see what kind of reward the Manchu emperor gave Wang Guorui. And for everyone, everyone hopes to be able to promote Wang Guorui, so that Wang Guorui can be rewarded! After all, Wang Guorui kept Taiwan, so he should be able to get promoted and make a fortune! And the people of Taiwan are also grateful to Wang Guorui, after all, it is Wang Guorui who allows them not to be treated as slaves of the country, so that they can live a good life. Now that the Japanese are about to lose, that should be able to reward Wang Guorui.

"The emperor has an order. Order all military and civilians in Taiwan to stop resisting the Japanese army, lay down their arms and surrender. All the people of Taiwan. From now on, it belongs to the Japanese people, and no longer belongs to the people of the Qing Dynasty, and I hope that all the people of Taiwan will respect themselves. And all the officials of the Qing Dynasty in Taiwan must cooperate with the Japanese army, surrender to the Japanese army, and stop resisting. All my Qing army's troops in Taiwan. They must lay down their arms to the Japanese army, accept the reorganization and disposal of the Japanese army, and must not disobey in the slightest. ...... future"

And this decree was soon read out, and this decree came and went with the same meaning, that is, to make Taiwan's army lay down its arms and surrender to the Japanese army. Then accept the disposal of the Japanese army. Moreover, the people of Taiwan could not continue to resist the Japanese army, and this was an order issued by the central court.

Hearing this holy decree, the people immediately became in an uproar, they did not expect that the imperial court would issue such a holy decree. Taiwan's military and civilians are working hard to defend Taiwan, but for what, isn't it so that the "Great Qing Dynasty" will not cede Taiwan? And everyone is desperately resisting, in order to maintain the dignity of the "Great Qing", but now the "Great Qing" has turned around and sold them. This is good, and immediately the Taiwanese people's attachment to the "Great Qing Dynasty" is completely gone, because the "Great Qing Dynasty" has abandoned them. Their loyalty to the "Great Qing Dynasty" was actually exchanged for such an abandoned edict, which really made everyone feel cold.

"Wang Zhixian, please accept the order!" The eunuch said.

And the Japanese envoy also said: "You must lay down your arms as much as possible, and then our army will accept the surrender, and then listen to it." Anyone who resists our Japanese acceptance of the army will be severely punished. ”

And Wang Guorui said coldly: "What if I don't accept the order and don't obey the order? ”

"Then you are the rebel of my Qing Dynasty!" The eunuch said.

"Rebellion, me!" Wang Guorui shouted.

Wang Guorui touched the eunuch's face with a mouthful of saliva, obviously very unkind. I'm really not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates. Originally, strictly speaking, Wang Guorui and the Manchu Qing central government were actually potential enemies in the future, but now Wang Guorui is Chinese after all, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty does not support the resistance against Japan, and actually came here to dismantle Taiwan. With this kind of teammate, can you not lose? No wonder so many talented people in the Qing Dynasty could not revitalize China, it turned out that it was this kind of pig-like teammate or even pig-like leader who was the boss, could he not fail?

"You, you, you, you......" The eunuch pointed at Wang Guorui, obviously so angry that he stuttered, how could he be so angry with him in the palace?

"From today onwards, we in Taiwan will no longer accept any orders from the central court, you guys get out of me!" Wang Guorui said.

"Get out!" Hundreds of people shouted.

"Are you rebelling? Do you want to know what are the consequences of disrespect or even rebellion? The eunuch said angrily.

"Get out of here!" Wang Guorui said angrily again.

Soon, many of Wang Guorui's soldiers also came over, and then drove away the Manchu eunuch and the Japanese envoy. They have also heard about the holy decree this time, it was the imperial court that gave up on them, and asked them to lay down their arms and surrender to the Japanese army, how is this possible. Let's not say that I have an absolute advantage, let's just say that I have killed so many Japanese soldiers, if I surrender like this, then the Japanese army will not be happy to counterattack, will I have a good end at that time? Many soldiers have formed mortal enemies with the Japanese army, if they surrender like this, how can they still be alive? And these Taiwanese soldiers were also completely dead to the Manchu central government, so they also took the initiative to drive out the Manchu central government.

And in the next, many people also took the initiative to throw some rotten vegetable leaves and rotten stones at them, and the eunuch and the Japanese envoy were all smashed with blue noses and swollen faces, obviously Taiwan did not welcome them. This time, the Manchus have greatly lost the support of the people, and they have no way to gain a foothold in Taiwan.

Wang Guorui looked at this scene and smiled. This time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty died by himself, no wonder he was. Originally, the reason why the Taiwanese people resisted Japan was not because of Wang Guorui, in addition to protecting their property and lives, there was also a reason why they were loyal to the Manchus. They were still very loyal to the Manchus, and the Manchus' centuries-old rule was not in vain, but had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, they were still relatively obedient to the Manchus, and it can be proved that they came out to meet the Manchu eunuchs.

But later, the Manchus actually wanted to give up on their own initiative, let them go to Japan as slaves, and then let the Japanese oppress. It is simply absurd to even give up their anti-Japanese heroes to the Japanese on their own initiative. Not to mention that now Taiwan's army has the absolute upper hand, and even if it loses the upper hand, it has not betrayed its heroes to be humiliated and killed by the enemy! Therefore, the behavior of the Manchus this time can be said to be a great loss of popular support, and Taiwan's loyalty to them has completely disappeared.

In this way, Wang Guorui has gained the most, because Wang Guorui will seize Taiwan in the future, and he will inevitably have to clean up the people's hearts. If there is a large group of people in Taiwan who are loyal to the Manchus, then I am afraid it will be very difficult for him to seize Taiwan. Therefore, this Manchu Qing Dynasty died by himself, so don't blame Wang Guorui.

The reason why Wang Guorui asked this eunuch to take the initiative to convey it in front of the people just now is that he hopes to let the people recognize the face of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Of course, Wang Guorui was very aware of the weak and incompetent nature of the Manchus, and they would never come up with any contracts that would benefit the state. Therefore, although Wang Guorui did not listen to the content directly, he had already guessed that it must be unfavorable to Taiwan. This Manchu Qing was completely a pig-like teammate, which can also be seen from previous foreign wars. Therefore, Wang Guorui deliberately asked him to read it in front of the people, which dealt a severe blow to the image of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the minds of the people of Taiwan. Sure enough, this Manchu Qing order made them lose the hearts of the people in Taiwan, so that if Wang Guorui wants to secede Taiwan, it will not be a problem at all. The Manchu Qing Dynasty also did not have a popular foundation in the hearts of the Taiwanese people, which means that this problem can be solved very well. (To be continued......)
