In a express letter sent to the Zongli Yamen on the same day, Li Hongzhang wrote: "We have always handled the Western Affairs Office, but they are all wrong in the two parties of peace and war. Please read the book W÷ｗΩＷΩ.∮ＱingＫanＳhu．cCＣDisfied that it is clear that this is a harmonious situation, and it must be a war preparation so that the harmonious situation can be completed and lasting. Foreigners do not care about the rationality, but they suppress each other with their military force, and I want to defeat it with my pen and tongue, which is a number that must be unsuccessful."

To put it bluntly, Li Hongzhang just didn't want to fight this war. He sent troops to Taiwan just to be able to "get the right way".

After dinner and while having tea, Li Hongzhang said to Xue Fucheng and Li Shuchang's staff: "I did underestimate Japan's island country before. He invaded Taiwan this time and would definitely swallow up the entire territory in the future. China and the island country are all in a belt of water, and it can be reached by boarding a ship. The harm is really greater than that of Western countries. If the Qing Dynasty wants to protect the situation, it must strengthen coastal defense and also set up a naval fleet comparable to that of Western countries. Otherwise, how can it suppress Xuan Yuemeng's Chinese army?"

All the staff nodded and said yes.

However, Li Hongzhang's suggestion to dispatch the 22nd Cavalry of the Shaanxi Defense Wuyiming Army to Jining, but Xuzhou's suggestion was firmly opposed by Zuo Zongtang, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu.

While scolding Li Hongzhang for not understanding military affairs, Zuo Zongtang urgently submitted a report to the court, begging to stop the proposal and to mobilize troops from other provinces to deploy defenses.

When Zuo Zongtang's letter was handed over to the capital, the cute president had already withdrawn his troops to Taipei.

The Japanese actually had the face to ask the Qing army for money and proposed to withdraw from Taiwan, on the condition that the Qing Dynasty had to pay Japan a pension of 500,000 taels of silver. Please read the ΩΩ book W ⷗ ∫ＷΩ.

When Prince Gong saw the Japanese lion open his mouth and did not dare to make his own decisions, he had to report Japan's request to Empress Dowager Cixi.

Empress Dowager Cixi immediately asked Prince Gong to send a quick letter to Li Hongzhang to seek Li Hongzhang's opinions.

Li Hongzhang was inexplicably the Qing army in Taiwan had reached 50,000!

This is most of the entire Jiangnan mobile troops that the Qing army could mobilize. Among them, tens of thousands were new firearm troops. Not to mention that it would be no problem to defeat the Japanese, it would be no problem to fight against Xuan Yuemeng. However, Li Hongzhang's reply to Cixi's comment was very tactful. On the one hand, he emphasized that the Qing Dynasty had enough military power in Taiwan, but on the other hand, he did not dare to discuss the government affairs.

Cixi understood what Li Hongzhang meant and frowned, "The cunning one is Li Hongzhang. He will not say a countermeasure if he doesn't see the ending. If the ending is out, what should he do if he wants to say a countermeasure? Forget it, tell the Japanese that if they do not withdraw troops from Taiwan unconditionally, they will wipe out them!"

Jie Ge couldn't help but say, "Mother, the Japanese are so shameless. They have been surrounded by us in Checheng. Do you still dare to ask for 500,000 taels of official silver compensation? Let's just wipe them out."

Empress Dowager Cixi sighed, "Forget it, it's fine if the Japanese are willing to withdraw. This time, we will definitely not be able to compensate the money, but the Japanese cannot offend them too harshly. Otherwise, there will be no matter what happens in Taiwan. Please read the book W÷ｗ∫ＷΩ.∮ＱingＫanＳhu．cＣ”

Princess Jie began to disgust the Qing court's foreign policy from the bottom of her heart. She was already sure to win. Do you still have to be so humble?

In the past, Princess Jie had not lived with Xuan Yuemeng for a while, but she didn't think that now that she is back, she is no longer accustomed to the Qing court's policies. Not only is she backward internally, but she is also too weak and powerless to the outside world.

But Jie Ge is not used to contradicting the Empress Dowager. Seeing Empress Dowager Cixi say this, she gently bit her lower lip and took back what she wanted to say.

Empress Dowager Cixi looked at Princess Jie, and naturally knew what she wanted to say. She sighed secretly, feeling that Princess Jie was also ruined by Xuan Yuemeng.

As soon as the news of peace talks between the Qing court and the Japanese came out, the whole country was shocked.

Of course, this is indispensable to the contribution of the China Statistics Bureau. Huacui Evening News took the lead in disclosing the Qing court and the Japanese in peace talks, and also disclosed the deployment of troops from Japan, Tsinghua and China in Taiwan.

At the same time, the incident of the Chinese army's extermination of the Japanese fleet was also disclosed.

This time, it was not the whole country who criticized the cute president together, but the whole country expressed strong disgust against the cowardly style of the Qing court, and the resistance of the entire society suddenly arose.

Everyone began to think of a question, why did the Chinese army rise so quickly? Why did the Chinese army not have the advantage of its military strength and dare to attack the British, French, and Japanese, while the Qing army had more than 30 times the superior force, but they wanted to let go of the Japanese army that invaded Taiwan?

Although there was no large-scale movement like later generations, the public opinion among the people was still very fierce, and the Qing court was powerless to suppress it because it was not just one or two ordinary people who said so.

The role played by Huacui Evening News in this is not that Prince Gong Yixin, Zhilin, Jingduo, and those who are not in agreement with Xuan Yuemeng. How can you compare the dissatisfied remarks of sending monk slaves for a walk with newspapers?

Huacui Evening News not only provides news, but also welcomes scholars to write articles in newspapers, which can be written with a pseudonym and also has a royalty fee.

This alone compares all other newspapers. If you take one step first, you can catch up with them as others want to. In addition, the vast area and large volume of Huacui Evening News are already many times more than the total of all other newspapers, accounting for more than 90% of sales.

Okubo and Yanagawa Mae Mitsumi-sei Xuan Yuemeng's Huacui Evening News had disclosed the situation in Taiwan in its entirety, and saw the voices of opposition from the entire Qing Dynasty getting higher and higher. I knew that it would definitely not be possible to blackmail the silver again, so I agreed to withdraw the troops unconditionally.

At the same time, the cute CEO asked Huacui Evening News to expand public opinion in the Qing Dynasty and took the opportunity to publicize the Chinese nation. While promoting the founding of China, the cute CEO was vigorously promoted.

The cute CEO is only four years old and can already produce his autobiography.

The first autobiography of the cute president was released at the same time.

"China cannot lose! China must be self-reliant!"

This book deeply hurts Cixi.

It is much more awesome than the propaganda of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Because it has never been exposed to the people of the Qing Dynasty in Guangdong and Danzhou, it has begun to try to understand what is going on in China. This has fundamentally begun to shake the rule of the Qing court.

In the entire wealthy area of ​​the Qing Dynasty, due to the high literacy rate and many scholars waiting for enlightenment, this patriotism exploded again. This time, the cute president is not a demon child, an idol, a god, and a god of China. Everyone seems to have seen a road to China's rise!

The entire Qing Dynasty was in full swing, and Taiwan was even more so.

Because the cute president himself is in Taiwan, although the transportation in this era is almost zero, the entire Taipei has launched a vigorous campaign to eliminate the Japanese.

This time, the cute CEO is not only a hero of the Qing Dynasty, but also a hero of Taiwan.

Liu Yuqing secretly glanced at the cute CEO. She was originally very repulsive to the cute CEO.
