Emperor Meiji himself was also very respectful of Hirobumi Ito, who not only had the experience of studying abroad, but also had unique insights and knowledge about military, politics, economics, industry, and other aspects.Yanagihara Maemitsu was a steady and knowledgeable man, and was sent to the Qing court many times to make contact with the Qing state, and was also a minister who was very trusted by the Meiji Emperor."
Tell me all."
Emperor Meiji sits on a golden pedestal in the Black Goo.This golden pedestal is very similar to the wooden pedestal of the Chinese worship gods, the Chinese worship gods, always make a wooden box closed on three sides, one side open to the outside, the carving is very exquisite.Emperor Meiji sat on a pedestal like this, but it was not a golden pedestal, and it was so black that you couldn't see Emperor Meiji's face at all, and you could only see a faint shadow."
Your Majesty, I said before that this Xuan Yuemeng must be strictly guarded against, he is not trustworthy at all, and it is his habit to go back on his word."
Hirobumi Ito couldn't help but say.Yanagihara Maeko didn't think about what to do, so he didn't dare to speak.Originally, according to reason, Yanagihara Maemitsu should have expressed his opinion.Emperor Meiji said angrily: "I'm not holding me accountable now, I'm asking now, what should I do now Our naval forces have been exhausted in this attack, and now there are only a few frigates, and there are no ironclad ships, how can this rescue the Japanese army in southern Taiwan" Yanagihara Maemitsu sighed, "We can only hurry up and send troops to the Ryukyu Kingdom, and prepare for the Xuan Yuemeng meeting to attack the Japanese mainland, as for the army in southern Taiwan, we can only resign ourselves to fate." ”Emperor Meiji's face was in the gloomy golden pedestal, cloudy, and he didn't expect Hirobumi Ito to come up with such an idea, but it seems that this is the only way to do it for now."
Hundreds of thousands of Ryukyuan people, nearly a million people, is not an easy thing to do, they have their hearts set on China.If the key war is deadlocked, and the Chinese army has Taiwan as the backing, we may not be able to win the war in the Ryukyus. ”Emperor Meiji said helplessly."
Your Majesty, the Taiwan problem is not so easy to solve, this is not in the mainland of China, this is overseas, the situation is very complicated, if you want to solve the Shengfan problem, the local gentry in Taiwan, it is not an easy thing, this time, we can't retreat, let's occupy the Ryukyus first."
Hirobumi Ito's thinking is very clear."
I personally know Xuan Yuemeng, his ambition is very big, there is nothing he can't think of, now his biggest difficulty should be insufficient funds, otherwise, he even dares to fight this Xuan Yuemeng and his Huaguo in our own country, it is the main opponent of our Japanese Empire in the future, even above the Qing court."
Emperor Meiji thought for a moment, "Let's convene a meeting of the Imperial Council tomorrow, and all the high-ranking officials will come and discuss it." ”Yanagihara Maemitsu and Ito Hirobumi bowed and said, "Hi, Your Majesty." ”The two men stepped back.Yanagihara Maemitsu asked: "Let's not mess with Huaguo's good, you are so sure, can we win" "Surely" Ito Hirofumi was full of confidence, "How close is Ryukyu to Japan and how far is it from Guangdong, besides, Huaguo's rule in Guangdong is not stable, and Taiwan is not even hot in the ass, why should they compete with our Japanese Empire" Yanagihara Maemitsu sighed, "I hope it is the same as what you said, I am now made neurotic by this Xuan Yuemeng, a child, it is too powerful, and it is developing too fast."
Ito Hirofumi said calmly: "This is also our advantage, whether it is the Japanese Empire, or the Qing Dynasty, how many years have the country been established, a country, not within two or three years, can have cohesion, although the Huacui Party in China is very powerful, but a political measure is decent, not necessarily able to make up for the shortcomings of the founding time is too short, if Your Majesty really makes up for the determination to fight to the end, we will never lose to the local gentry of Taiwan, Naturally, it was headed by Taiwan's prefect Zhou Maoqi and Taiwan's super-rich Liu Chaozong.The two of them were also thinking about what to do now, "Lord Zhou, how can it be good now, the court is completely with Xuan Yuemeng, not only removed his relationship with Jiegege, but also made a lot of noise. ”Liu Chaozong said in a low voice: "If we really get together with Xuan Yuemeng, I'm afraid it will be difficult to save our lives" Taiwan Governor Zhou Maoqi sighed, "Brother Chaozong, don't be stupid, make my heart messy, let me tell you, the more we come to this time, the more we have to stabilize our spirits, we can't panic, do you know that although there are 40,000 troops in Taiwan in the imperial court at present, you see that the Japanese are not so strong that the Chinese army will destroy all the warships in one day, and retreat to Checheng with the remnants of more than 2,000 people, and even the artillery battalion is lost."
Can the lonely city be defended Next, Xuan Yuemeng will take the car city, and then go north to fight with our army, do you think we can win?"
"Regardless of whether you win or not, if Xuan Yuemeng really does this, then the Taiwanese will definitely not be convinced, although no one is convinced, but I still know whose world this is, not to mention the two million Han people in Taiwan, how can we still recognize the big tree."
Moreover, we have an army of 40,000, and he is only more than 2,000 people, can't he beat one of the twenty?""
Let's take it one step at a time."
Taiwan's prefect Zhou Maoqi said with a smile, "Whether Xuan Yuemeng wins or the imperial court wins, remember one thing, take care of the money in our hands, we can't pay for the war anymore, and in the end, we still fight for money, understand" Liu Chaozong, the richest man in Taiwan, nodded with a smile, "It's still Lord Zhou who is the most clever." ”After transferring 20,000 troops to Taiwan, Li Henian, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, still has tens of thousands of troops in his hands to mobilize, and the Qing court's ability to explode troops is actually not bad, but food and salary are a big problem, and China will not be short of people at any time.Although the imperial court has issued a written official letter for Li Henian to actively prepare for the war, Li Henian and Taiwanese prefect Zhou Maoqi are actually in the same mind.On the surface, they are actively preparing for war, but in fact they are standing still and waiting to see how things develop.When all parties stepped up their actions, President Meng quietly withdrew his troops."
President, at this time, we can easily defeat the Japanese," Princess Katrina Kafu looked at President Moe in surprise.President Meng smiled: "Go and pass the order, and withdraw the troops within three days."
If we completely exterminate the Japanese, the Taiwanese will not receive our benefits, the Qing court will not receive our benefits, and the Japanese will fight us to the death. ”t1706231537:
