Wang Guorui heard Zheng Hong say that the Japanese army was taking the Taiwanese people hostage, which may not be a good thing for them, and this immediately made Wang Guorui a little unhappy. However, Wang Guorui knew that Zheng Hong would not harm herself, after all, she was also her own woman, and Wang Guorui still had that kind of relationship with her, so she was naturally not afraid of her betrayal casually. And Wang Guorui also took the initiative to ask Zheng Hong to explain her reasons, because Wang Guorui had no good way for the Japanese army to take people as hostages.

"Husband, let me ask you, if we annihilate these Japanese Guards Divisions, will the Japanese completely abandon their plan to continue to occupy Taiwan?" Zheng Hong asked.

Wang Guorui immediately shook his head and said, "Impossible, the Japanese will not give up." Japan has been thinking about Taiwan for a day or two, we have only defeated a Japanese division, and they still have more than a dozen divisions in their country, and it is impossible for them to abandon their entire plan to occupy Taiwan because of the failure of one division. Even if we annihilate this Japanese Guards Division, they will still send troops to attack, there is no doubt about this. ”

And Zheng Hong immediately continued: "Then there is no need for us to completely annihilate these last thousands of Japanese troops, so let him survive in Taipei for the time being." This is because as long as these thousands of Japanese troops remain on the soil of Taiwan for a day, the military and civilians of Taiwan will not be able to relax their vigilance for a single day. As long as the Japanese army is still in Taiwan, then our state of war in Taiwan will also be maintained. Husband, think about it, if the Japanese army is completely annihilated, what kind of changes will Taiwan's military and people have? ”

Zheng Hong paused, and then immediately asked and answered himself: "Once these Japanese troops are completely annihilated." Then the vigilance of Taiwan's military and people will be relaxed, and the tight strings will also be relaxed. At that time, a wave of renewed struggle for power and profit will surely be set off in Taiwan. Think about it. Once the pressure on the outside is gone, it is easy for the inside to disperse. As long as the Japanese army is still in Taiwan, then resisting Japan is the first priority, and everything else must be put second. And in war, the talent with military power is the most important. But once the Japanese army is gone, what will those guys think? ”

Wang Guorui suddenly realized a very important problem, and now Wang Guorui can get the support of the people and Taiwanese officials. It's not because Wang Guorui has any prestige. Wang Guorui was able to gain the support of some ordinary people, because the Japanese army was pressing the border and could occupy Taiwan at any time. The people and officials had to pinch their noses to support Wang Guorui to resist. However, in the final analysis, Wang Guorui's so-called "qualifications" are not deep, Wang Guorui is also a donor who spends money, and he is not very old. In the eyes of many officials, he is also an official who does not enter the stream.

The reason why they were able to tolerate Wang Guorui. can tolerate Wang Guorui breaking away from their command, is that not the Japanese army pressing the border? Judging from the current situation, only Wang Guorui's army can resist the Japanese army, while the other armies are very poor in combat effectiveness. Because the Japanese soldiers pressed the border, they were able to acquiesce to Wang Guorui's behavior. However, once the Japanese army was annihilated and Taiwan had no external pressure, internal contradictions began to appear, and many officials within Taiwan would also take advantage of this power vacuum to compete for power and profit. There is no governor in Taiwan. Many county officials are also vacant. Coupled with Taiwan's resistance to the Japanese army, this is also a great credit. Who wouldn't want to take a bite of this flatbread? They think that with Wang Guorui's qualifications, they can't monopolize it, so they will inevitably come over and want to share Wang Guorui's cake.

"Husband, think about it, if we directly annihilate those Japanese troops, then the officials in Taiwan will also take the opportunity to be naughty. When the time comes, even if we have a strong army, we will not be able to handle these troubles properly. The Manchu rule in Taiwan also lasted for many years and was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Will we be able to kill all these Manchu officials? If we kill them all now, then we won't be able to please them, because there is no one to help us maintain the stability of the place. Therefore, these Manchu officials must be kept, but they cannot let them have the desire to compete for power and profit. Therefore, this war of resistance against Japan cannot end so quickly. You have to keep it up, and only if you keep it up, those Manchu officials will be able to tolerate you. When the time comes, even if you are arrogant, they will only be able to acquiesce. As long as Taiwan can be kept, they will be able to tolerate your arrogance. But once the war is over, they may not be able to tolerate your arrogance, and they will definitely find a way to make trouble and annoy you. ”

"And once those Manchu officials start to make trouble, then we will inevitably not be able to concentrate all of Taiwan's forces for war preparation. And the Japanese army will come to support within half a year, then we will have to face internal struggles at that time, then we will really suffer from the enemy. ”

Wang Guorui also agreed with Zheng Hong's words, if all these Japanese guards divisions are wiped out now, then many Taiwanese people and officials will subconsciously think that the war is over, and then they will start fighting for power and profit. At that time, Wang Guorui really had no good way to take them, and it was impossible to kill them all. And if the war is maintained, then they can cooperate when they have a common enemy. If there is no common enemy left, then the time has come for everyone to fall apart.

Just like the founding period of many countries, when the monarchs and ministers fought the world, but once the country was stable, I am afraid that it was time for the emperor to cross the river and tear down the bridge. Now Wang Guorui is like this, and he is in a tacit agreement with the Manchu officials, Wang Guorui helps them resist the Japanese army, and they provide various resources to help Wang Guorui. When the Japanese army invaded, they could only watch Wang Guorui devour a large amount of resources, but they could only send all kinds of resources to Wang Guorui with tears in their eyes.

But once the Japanese army was completely annihilated, these Manchu officials in Taiwan would inevitably find a way to reduce Wang Guorui's power, and even reduce Wang Guorui's army. They will not continue to support Wang Guorui, they will just find a way to step on Wang Guorui, and then they will all come to share the exploits of the anti-Japanese war.

At that time, Taiwan's internal strife is inevitable, and this is not a good thing for Taiwan. At that time, Wang Guorui had to deal with internal fighting, but the Japanese army organized a large army to come over, and Wang Guorui was really attacked by the enemy. As for Taiwan's officials taking the initiative to make trouble, Wang Guorui is certainly inevitable. Because the Manchu Qing Dynasty lacked all talents, there was no shortage of such short-sighted guys. They thought that as long as they defeated the Guards Division, they could safely start the infighting.

Rather than this, it is better to keep these thousands of Japanese troops with weak combat effectiveness. As long as they are retained, Taiwan's anti-Japanese resistance will inevitably continue, and the vigilance of Taiwan's military and people will not be immediately lowered. And those Manchu officials in Taiwan will inevitably grit their teeth and continue to compromise with Wang Guorui, even if Wang Guorui is arrogant, they can only endure it, who makes them need Wang Guorui to resist Japan!

Only by maintaining Taiwan's state of war can Wang Guorui continue to encroach on Taiwan's territory, finances, and various rights. Under the pressure of the Japanese, Taiwan was able to maintain a state of unity. Otherwise, once the infighting starts, it will not be a good thing for Wang Guorui.

What's more, it doesn't matter if there are thousands of Japanese troops left. Even if they are wiped out, it will not be able to change Japan's idea of continuing to invade and occupy Taiwan. Although the loss of a division by the Japanese army made them feel a little heartache, it was not heartbreaking. They won't give up, they just will continue to send troops over, so whether they keep these thousands of Japanese troops or not, it will also be to meet more Japanese invasions. On the contrary, keeping it also has its own advantages, which is equivalent to a sword hanging over the heads of the entire Taiwanese military and civilian officials, so that they dare not cooperate with Wang Guorui. At this time, Wang Guorui could take the opportunity to encroach on all kinds of Taiwan's resources, and Taiwan's Manchu officials could only pinch their noses and admit it.

"Good! Miss Zheng Hong, you are really raising self-respect! Wang Guorui said.

And Zheng Hong said affirmatively: "Yes, we are raising self-respect in this way." These Japanese troops were so weak in combat that they could not continue to reach Taiwan in danger. On the contrary, as long as they are kept, it will be like a sword hanging over Taiwan, which may fall at any time. Then Taiwan's military and people will inevitably rely on the husband, and the husband can continue to encroach on resources and popularity, and only by constantly resisting the Japanese army can he obtain sufficient conditions for separating Taiwan. If this war ends too quickly, then we really have no chance of encroaching on Taiwan's rights. ”

Wang Guorui looked at the people above Taipei City in the distance, and then said: "Then we will not attack on the grounds that the Japanese army is brutal and coercs the people." In this way, we can not only keep these Japanese soldiers for the right reasons, but also gain a reputation for 'benevolence'. And then, as long as these Japanese troops are still in Taiwan for one day, then Taiwan will also be our world. Next, we can use these Japanese 'threats' to integrate internally. Anyway, the Japanese army is still a day, and the Taiwanese officials can only tolerate my arrogance. Even, even if I took away their rights, they could only endure in silence. ”

"The husband is wise, if it weren't for the Japanese army coercing the people, we really can't think of any way to let them go. Now that they are like this, then we will let them go, let them slowly raise them, and let them continue to be a sword hanging in the air in Taiwan, but it can never fall! Zheng Hong replied.
