The two of them belong to the local bureaucrats in Taiwan, and they are distressed, and the same is true of the more than 40,000 generals of the Qing army there, although the troops from other places and the local officials are still in harmony on the surface.However, contradictions are certainly indispensable, and the soldiers and horses from Fujian, naturally, no Han soldiers and horses in Taiwan can get more food and wages, and they have long since deviated from Germany and are on the verge of collapse.These Qing army officers from Fujian, also received a telegram from President Meng, under investigation, they naturally knew that it was not fake, and there was no need to fake, the fact that President Meng killed more than 40,000 Japanese soldiers had already been passed back, and it was not a logical thing to kill more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers, Fujian officials, most of them were Huai Army, Hunan Army, Chu Army A group of people who retreated from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom battlefield, this group of people is the most pitiful, when the war was fought, the Qing court promised a lot, but after the war, no one fulfilled it, These officers who have real shortages are slightly better, and there are still many officials to be elected, who have a big crown, but they are waiting at home all the year round to release the vacancy, and many people can't wait, so they simply go back to their hometowns to farm.At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were many officials to be elected, especially the officers who were born in wars, there is a joke, and later Ronglu's six sedan chair men, all of whom were three-rank members, just to make up six red tops.The problem now is that these Fujian officials are also thinking about the same problem as Taiwan's prefect Zhou Maoqi and Taiwan's military commander Xia Xianlun, President Meng didn't give any promises, don't give promises, everyone goes to your Taiwan Construction Corps to repair forts, repair military ports, and be coolies to these pampered officials, how can President Meng not give this promise, this is also the most difficult problem, because Huaguo's financial resources, as well as President Meng's rather scarce and indiscriminate employment phalanx, will not support President Meng's compromise on this kind of thing, If in order to change the situation, a large number of official positions are forcibly separated, in that case, what is the difference between the Chinese government and the government of the feudal dynasty More than 50,000 Qing troops, belonging to more than ten forces, everyone is worried, however, everyone has begun to make preparations for war, but, no one wants to pick this head, if the Japanese are finished, President Meng still doesn't give anything, it is a matter of displeasure on both sides.Now, no one is willing to fire this first shot, a large number of people here in Tainan are in a hurry, and the people around President Meng are also in a hurry, it's been two days, and there has been no movement in Tainan.Liu Yuqing asked Princess Katrina Kaf: "My father is familiar with Zhou Maoqi, otherwise, I will ask my father to send a telegram to Zhou Maoqi, and let my father promise to give Zhou Maoqi a sum of silver, and he will definitely send troops." ”Princess Katrina Kafu shook her head, "Don't do this, if you want to do this, you go and ask the president what he means first" Liu Yuqing shook her head and said: "I asked, the president refused, and I don't know what the president thinks, either give the official position, or give money, you must give the same, otherwise, who will work in vain" "It is definitely not possible to give an official position, and it seems that it will not work to give money, I probably know what the president thinks, mainly because there are too many Qing troops, and when the time comes, it will definitely be incorporated into the construction corps, and it will be dispersed, Dispatched to various places, Taiwan is so big, it can't afford to support so many people. ”Princess Katrina Kafu was sullen, with two small white hands, supporting her chin."
I'm really in a hurry, I can't think of anything I can do."
Liu Yuqing's eyes turned red.Princess Katrina Kafu looked at Liu Yuqing curiously and smiled.Liu Yuqing's pink face flushed, "Princess, what are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at you, you already have a deep affection for the president, and you have to compare it with what I have." ”Princess Katrina Kafu put her arms around Liu Yuqing's neck and smiled.Liu Yuqing's pink face turned even redder with shame, "The princess laughs at people." ”Princess Katrina Kafu smiled: "I don't laugh at you, I love the president very much, there is nothing worth laughing about, whoever likes to laugh should laugh, if you want to get the love of the president, not everyone has a chance, it's a pity that the president is in a bad mood these days, I can see that the president also has a heart this time, Taiwan's affairs are not easy to do."
It's up to you. ”Liu Yuqing nodded, sighed, and sat with Princess Katrina Kaf, unable to think of any good way.In fact, President Meng at this time, he is also quite worried, he hopes that someone will act first, in this way, it will drive everyone to act together, but, he really can't give official positions and money, it is easy to solve the problem at first, but what to do after the war can not afford to give it all, and, once the official position is given, it will destroy the selection system of Huaguo and compensate all the silver, even worse, there is not so much money, and, if part of the military expenses are compensated, the army that has not been compensated will definitely not do it, when the time comes, It's going to have to be a big mess.Ito Hirobumi is also closely watching the development of the situation, if President Meng solves the problem in Tainan, he has nothing to be nostalgic for, just hurry back to Japan, and he will definitely have to make concessions to Xuan Yuemeng, but if the problem in Tainan deteriorates, a group of Qing troops do not obey Xuan Yuemeng, or Xuan Yuemeng does not handle it well, and he obeys it for the time being, and it will change in the future, this is different, Xuan Yuemeng's thoughts, with Ito Hirobumi's old way, naturally see it clearly.All sides are waiting, waiting and seeing.Ito Hirofumi still admires President Meng very much, he can really calm down, if it were him, he would choose to give an official position, he doesn't understand why Xuan Yuemeng cherishes the official hat at hand so much, this may be where Xuan Yuemeng is powerful, the officials of Huaguo really have to achieve strength in order to be in that position, especially now, it is becoming more and more strict.Many first-generation house slaves in Xuan Yuemeng's hands gradually faded out in very high positions and were put on some idle jobs, just because their ability was really not good and they couldn't be supported.On the third day, in the end, it was the Taiwanese governor Zhou Maoqi's brain that would use some, and he found Xia Xianlun."
Lord Xia, I think, I can't wait any longer for this opportunity, I haven't been able to sleep for a day in the past two days."
Taiwan's governor Zhou Maoqi said in a deep voice.Taiwan's military commander Xia Xianlunqi said: "Lord Zhou, what do you think, let's talk about it, President Meng is relieved and willing to give real power" "This is not true." ”Zhou Maoqi sighed, "This cute president, although he is only more than four years old, he can really calm down, in fact, I estimate that he is also in a hurry, but he just doesn't show a little mouth" Xia Xianlun was puzzled: "Then what way did you come up with, don't give money, let the brothers go to work hard and then finish the war in vain, and they are all stupid to repair the fort Where is there such a thing, we have so many people, if Xuan Yuemeng wants to mess around, let's join forces, don't be afraid of him" While the two of them were talking, there was a commotion outside."
My lord, it's not good, the people are making a fuss, this morning's newspaper."
The master of Taiwan's prefect Zhou Maoqi came over with a Huacui Evening News.Zhou Maoqi took the newspaper and read, "The president of Huaguo refused to negotiate peace with Japan and urged the Tainan army to exterminate the Japanese, but the Tainan army did not move, and Huaguo decided to mobilize 100,000 troops from southern Jiangsu to Taiwan within 10 days."
Zhou Maoqi slammed his chair after reading the newspaper."
Sir, sir."
The master said anxiously.Taiwan's military commander Xia Xianlun also hurriedly said: "Lord Zhou, don't worry, Xuan Yuemeng is bluffing, where does he have an army of 100,000 I heard that he is engaged in the replacement of population in Ryukyu and the Osumi Islands, one of his field brigades has stayed in Ryukyu, and even the garrison in Taipei is very empty" Zhou Maoqi took a sip of water, "I naturally know that Xuan Yuemeng is bluffing, but Jiangnan's is indeed in the hands of Huaguo, and the imperial court has no strength to recapture Jiangnan, This is something that everyone knows, originally the Chinese army in Taipei is very popular, the common people heard that there is a large army on the mainland, can they not be in a hurry, Xuan Yuemeng is doing this, not on his side, we are his enemies, without foreign aid, Taiwan is such a big place, resources are so scarce, where to raise tens of thousands of troops to fight with Xuan Yuemeng" "Then, what should I do now" Xia Xianlun listened to the sound of shouting slogans outside the prefect's yamen, and he was also anxious.t1706231537:
