Gan Hong had someone send a telegram to Li Jingxiao, informing them that they had captured all of Taipei.
Next, we will stop continuing to expand and turn the Taipei area into a piece of iron.
Li Jingxiao basically stayed in the trading house during the day these days, waiting for news.
Due to Li Jingxiao's deployment adjustments in Taiwan, Lu Wantong did not go to Taiwan to be responsible for Taiwan's business planning.
Instead, he continued to stay with Li Jingxiao.
The 800 people secretly trained before Ma Zheng sent more than 600 people to Taiwan. Now there are less than 200 people protecting Li Jingxiao and Li Jingxiao's business.
Li Jingxiao is asking Ma Zheng to continue to select suitable people from the refugees for training to ensure that business can develop normally.
These people are thugs who secretly protect Li Jingxiao and Li Jingxiao's business.
In addition, there is a bodyguard bureau in each region, and the people in the bodyguard bureau are responsible for escorting goods and maintaining store safety.
Its function is logistics and security for future generations.
This group of people is also hanging on to Ma Zheng's hand.
It's just that these people can't move lightly.
At this moment Li Jingxiao received a telegram from Gan Hong.
I was very happy to learn that Gan Hong and the others had captured all of Taipei.
"Hahaha, great, now we have our own territory."
Ma Zheng: "It is indeed very difficult for hundreds of people to take over the whole of Taipei in less than twenty days."
"He also used a group of new soldiers to destroy an army of 10,000 green soldiers."
Li Jingxiao: "You also have merit. The 600 people you sent to them had an effect. How could the recruits have combat effectiveness so quickly without veterans?"
Ma Zheng: "This is all planned by the master, and the subordinates dare not be greedy for credit."
Li Jingxiao: "Okay, don't be poor anymore. I've wronged you. Always stay by my side."
"Next year is my year to go out. Let's wait and see if I can get a Jinshi."
"If not, I'll just take a position under my father."
"Lu Wantong!"
Lu Wantong: "My subordinate is here."
"Generate electricity for Zheng Wenjie, Gan Hong, Gan Wei and others."
"Order Zheng Wenjie to take control of the administration of the Taipei area as soon as possible, vigorously develop the economy, and build factories and schools. The factories are mainly military factories. We will find ways to transport the current goods to them."
"The school first accepts military children, gives them the opportunity to study and study, and then gradually develops into civilians."
"Order Gan Hong to take charge of the military affairs of Hsinchu County, Yilan County, and Nanya Department, and assist Zheng Wenjie in managing government affairs."
"And build forts in Hsinchu County and Yilan County."
"In addition, the existing troops should be trained as soon as possible."
"Order Gan Wei to take charge of Keelung Hall and Tamsui County military affairs, and assist Zheng Wenjie in managing government affairs."
"While training the army, we also need to build forts and shipyards."
"At the same time, Ganwei is ordered to build a navy. Although there are no warships now, it can be done at the same time. The warships and people will develop together."
"Order Yang Xueqian, Lu Mo, and Wang Jiaxian to build the first breech-loading cannon as soon as possible. Yang Xueqian can leave the weapons to others."
"Yang Xueqian will cooperate with the Wang family to build the artillery first."
"Then we have to cooperate with Lu Mo to design cannons suitable for warships."
"As soon as the shipyard is ready, we will start building the first pre-friction ship that Lu Mo has designed long ago."
"I ordered Lin Jianqiang to speed up the research on trains. Tell me what support is needed to build railways in Taipei."
Lu Wantong: "Okay, sir, give them the order immediately."
Because the battle to defend South Asia was fought so quickly, Zhang Ruijin has not yet officially taken office.
He had just left Penghu Hall and arrived in Taiwan County, Taiwan Prefecture.
Zhang Ruijin arrived in Taiwan with nearly a thousand people, and a group of officials from the Taiwan government went out of the city to welcome him.
Zhang Ruijin has actually received the news that Taipei has been captured by Gan Hong and others.
He now pretends not to know about this and goes to greet the officials without hesitation.
At present, the highest administrative official in the Taiwan government is Tongzhi Pan Wei.
Tongzhi is the deputy position of the prefect, the fifth rank, and is set up according to events. There are one or two people in each prefecture, and there is no fixed number. Tongzhi is responsible for local affairs such as salt, grain, poaching, river defense, sea frontier, river engineering, water conservancy, sorting out military status, and appeasing the people and foreigners. The office of Tongzhi is called "Ting".
Pan Wei failed to pass the imperial examination that he had been taking for twenty years. Because of his good medical skills, he accidentally saved Prince Gong's current wife.
From then on, his official career was prosperous, from county magistrate to tongzhi.
This time when Taiwan changes to a province, four more prefectures will be added. Originally, he had a good chance of being promoted to prefect.
But now Zheng Chenggong's descendants in Taipei revolted and seized the Taipei area in one fell swoop.
The prefect Liu Ao led his troops on an expedition and was wiped out by the entire army. Currently, he, the highest-ranking official, will be the best person to take the blame.
"Pan Wei, the former co-president of the Taiwan Government, led the officials of the former Taiwan Government to welcome the Governor to take office."
Pan Wei led a group of officials, big and small, waved with both hands, and then knelt down on one knee.
…
Zhang Ruijin: "Please get up quickly, Master Pan. Zhang has heard of Master Pan's reputation in the Zhili area."
"When I met him today, he certainly lived up to his reputation. It is also Zhang's blessing to be able to work with Mr. Pan today."
Pan Wei stood up slightly with the help of Zhang Ruijin.
Zhang Ruijin also asked other officials to quickly invite them.
Pan Wei wiped the sweat on his head with his sleeve and knelt down again.
Zhang Ruijin asked: "Master Pan, what are you doing?"
"Hey, why didn't you see Mr. Liu Ao Liu?"
Pan Wei replied: "Liu...Zhifu Liu...Zhifu Liu died for his country."
After saying this, Pan Wei kowtowed to the end.
Zhang Ruijin took two steps back in surprise.
"You...what did you just say? How could Mr. Liu die for his country?"
"What happened? Tell me quickly."
Liu Ao: "Back to the governor, Mr. Liu wrote a letter to Mr. Zhang a few days ago. Didn't you receive it?"
Liu Ao patted his thigh anxiously: "Oh, I left Fujian by boat a few days ago. When passing by the Penghu Hall, I went to the Penghu Hall to inspect the local military."
"Maybe I missed this letter because of this. What happened?"
Pan Wei: "More than ten days ago, Keelung, Tamsui, and Nanya suddenly fell for unknown reasons."
"It's under the banner of King Yanping."
"The leaders are Zheng Wenjie, a descendant of Zheng Chenggong, and Gan Hong and Gan Wei, descendants of Zheng Chenggong's general Gan Hui."
"I don't know which foreign country they received funding from, and their firepower is extremely fierce."
"After Master Liu Ao learned of this situation, he led an army of more than 10,000 people to recover the three lands."
"I also gave you and the imperial court a post each."
"Unexpectedly, General Liu Ao suffered a defeat in just two days, and his entire army of 10,000 was wiped out."
"General Liu Ao was ambushed again on his way back from Nanya to Hsinchu, and Lord Liu Ao died in the ambush."
"The enemy "falsely opened" the Hsinchu city gate again, and we just got news that Yilan County has been lost."
"At present, the entire Taipei area has been lost."
Zhang Ruijin showed a surprised expression.
Then he said: "How come there has been such a big commotion in just a few days?"
"What a pity, Master Liu Ao. We once cooperated when we attacked the Taiping Army and the Nian Army together."
"I didn't expect that our last farewell would be forever!"
