Since Xuan Yuemeng has come, it is definitely impossible to hide, it is better to simply see it, which also makes President Meng have a good impression of Zhou Maoqi, whether he has the ability or not, he will not be without guts, in this era, courage is more important than anything else for a man.Taiwan's prefect Zhou Maoqi, a person in his forties, naturally will not believe President Meng's nonsense, President Meng even said that he would dare to fight in Hong Kong, you just want to occupy Taiwan, who dares to say anything about Taiwan's local officials, better than anyone knows what those green battalion soldiers, defense troops, and Fantun soldiers are all about, where may be the opponent of the Chinese army, unless the elite Qing army is sent from Fujian."
President Meng, this place in Taiwan, foreigners, and you, you can come if you want to, we have no choice, but there is a tacit understanding between countries, and I hope that the president will think about it, and the president will play in Taiwan, which is naturally very welcome.If there's anything you need, just say yes to me.I have nothing but silver and bread, and I have everything else. ”Taiwan's governor Zhou Maoqi had a smile on his face, which made President Meng feel very comfortable.Although Zhou Maoqi is refusing in disguise, this way of refusing is very tactful, and he is indeed a good hand at dirty methods.President Meng nodded, "Lord Zhou is polite, silver and grain and grass, I don't ask you for it, you send me 500,000 laborers, I want to build a chicken coop port, I need manpower." ”Taiwan's prefect Zhou Maoqi gasped, he thought he was very smart, and he came up and said that there is no silver and grain and grass, what else can you care about what I want 500,000 laborers Taiwan has only more than 4 million people, and a large part of them are mountain people, who are not civilized at all, where can I go to find you 500,000 laborers" The president joked, this is absolutely impossible, the president is short of manpower, just recruit himself in Taipei, I don't interfere, where is the reason for me to give people to the president Besides, your country and I are still at war in the Qing Dynasty.The president has soldiers, and he doesn't need the green battalion soldiers who can't get on the table in my hands," Zhou Maoqi said with a bitter face.President Meng is too powerful.,It's a robbery.,No trick will work.。
President Meng smiled, "We still need your green battalion soldiers who can't get on the stage, we are an army that loves the people like children, how can we do this kind of thing, we naturally need your local cooperation, how Lord Zhou, I just have such a small request, do you want to refuse" When Zhou Maoqi, the governor of Taiwan, saw Xuan Yuemeng speak, although he was always smiling, his tone was much more serious, and he smiled: "President, I have already arrived here, it is easy to kill me, it's not that I can't do it, I can't do it, and I ask the president to be considerate." ”Princess Katrina Kafu was stunned and thought it was funny, although she was the prefect of a small place, she was not stage frightened, which was a rare thing.President Meng saw that Zhou Maoqi looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and knew that it was useless to force him, so he smiled and said: "It's really a joke, Lord Zhou don't see outside, come to someone, set up a banquet, and pick up the wind for Lord Zhou and others." ”This attitude of President Meng made Princess Katrina Kafu feel even more curious, originally in Princess Catalina Kaeve's heart, if she was rejected so strongly, President Meng would have to be angry, but she didn't expect that this Taiwanese prefect Zhou Maoqi was actually okay Zhou Maoqi saw that President Meng was going to have a treat, and hurriedly said: "This can't be done, President Meng has come to my Taiwan, how can we let us do the friendship of the landlord, how can we let the president give us the wind?
If you are short of manpower, find this person, he can help think of a way, but Taiwan is not small, the population is scattered, and there are more than 400 people in total, and there are no 500,000 laborers who can not make up the 500,000 laborers that President Meng said. ”The Liu family is a big family in this chicken coop city, one of the richest people in Taiwan, and Zhou Maoqi has a close relationship, so Zhou Maoqi will give President Meng the location to pick up the wind, and place it in the Liu family.President Meng smiled: "Since this is the case, then chatter, in this way, at noon, let Lord Zhou have a treat, and in the evening, our Taiwan Garrison Command of China will have a treat, it's always okay" The two sides come and go, a clear gun and a hidden arrow, Princess Katrina Kafu can't understand, but she can probably guess and find it interesting.President Meng and Princess Katrina Kafu held hands, their attitudes were intimate, and they were sweet in each other's hearts, which also made President Moe's mood better and more peaceful.In fact, this treat is a bit famous, President Meng is to take the lead, Zhou Maoqi of course understands what President Meng meant, knows that he can't get over, smiled, nodded and agreed.Just listening to the names of these institutions established under President Meng, a fool also knows that President Meng is not easy to leave when he comes, most of them are to occupy Taiwan, does the Taiwan Garrison Command have such a name Taiwan needs you to guard President Meng Before he came, he already had a preliminary understanding of Taiwan's military strength at this time, and there were three official armed forces on the island: at first, it was mainly based on the green battalion to undertake defense, which is the country's standard armament, in order to prevent the locals from engaging in "Taiwan independence", the officers and soldiers were transferred from the mainland in shifts, so it was called " squad soldiers".Since the implementation of the policy of "reducing troops and increasing salaries" in the eight years of Tongzhi, Taiwan's green battalion has plummeted to more than 7,000 of the 14,000 soldiers in Taiwan, and the difference in combat effectiveness is the same as that of the mainland's green battalion, which has long been rotten, and the battalion officers have only been taught three or four times in the past few months, and the soldiers have made noise, and there are many miasma infectious diseases in Taiwan, and most of the officers and men have been unable to conduct drills and training under the pretext of smoking to avoid miasma, and of course there is no way to talk about combat effectiveness.In addition to the green battalion, there is also the so-called defense army, which is similar to the Hunan army, recruiting local warriors, numbering as many as 16,000, and still using breech shotguns, as well as broadswords, spears, bows and arrows, and its backwardness can be seen.But compared to the Green Battalion, it is still an armed force that can suppress the common people.Half of the 16,000 people were in the vicinity of Tainan's Fucheng, of which the Qilin Battalion in the northern suburbs had 5,000 people, and the generals were the comrades of the general soldiers Zhang Qiguang and Zhou Maoqi.The last unit was the recruited Familiar Fan Army, the "Fantun Army" organized after the Sichuan Tun Training System, which was actually an aboriginal army.There are many types of Taiwanese aborigines, and they are collectively referred to as "fan", which is different from the "people" of the official culture.Fan is also divided into mature fan and raw fan, mature fan refers to the aborigines who live in the plain area, although different from the official culture, but accept management and pay taxes, also known as "Pingpu people".And those who do not pay taxes and do not obey the management are "shengban", such as the "Paiwan clan" who killed the fishermen of the Ryukyus, which is one of the shengban.Taiwan's Fantun Army has relatively strong combat effectiveness, and there are four cantonments in Taiwan, each with 1,000 people and a total strength of 4,000 troops, which are stationed in Taipei, Taichung, Taitung, and Tainan.The Green Battalion, plus the Defense Army, and the Fantun Army, the total strength of the Qing army in Taiwan exceeded 20,000, which was actually not weak.Otherwise, by the standards of this era, more than 20,000 troops are stationed in Taiwan, and a war of leisure can be settled.However, the Hongpu Military Academy Teaching Brigade brought by President Meng is a real quasi-modern army, more than 2,000 people, is an elite reinforced regiment, the elite of the Chinese army in the elite President Meng's 2,000 people, more than 20,000 defenders in Taiwan, the problem is not big, what I am afraid of is that the Qing court will send troops again, and the Qing court will send troops, generally with a large battalion as a unit, a large battalion of at least 4,000 people, just send it, it is tens of thousands of people over.If a large army is mobilized from Fujian, it will not be easy.Since President Meng's Hongpu Military Academy Teaching Brigade is here, it will definitely not be a problem to deal with the Japanese, and the key to President Meng's problem is how to get benefits for himself and help the Qing Army for free, President Meng will not do it.Hong Kong, Guangdong, Danzhou, construction is in full swing, President Meng came to Taiwan this time, has done his best to raise grain, grass and military spending, and will not take money from the Chinese treasury to Taiwan at all, so, in Taiwan, it is now a business, all from the Taiwanese themselves to get money out of course, there is no concept of Taiwanese in this era, they are all from the Qing Dynasty, a few are born, and the wild people are almost the same.t1706231537:
