The Travelers of the Heavens

""Empress Dowager, my father's intention is to expel the Japanese and protect the lives and property of Taiwan and our country's merchants

," Wang Qi said. The Great Zhou Empire currently has no merchants doing business overseas. It is not a commercial empire, but a slave-grabbing agricultural empire.

Wang Qi just used this bad excuse to talk about things.

"So, what are the conditions in your country?"The Queen Mother of the West asked

""Co-administration of Taiwan with the Qing Dynasty" Wang Qi said

"The matter is too big, I must discuss it with the one in the east and the Sixth Master," said the Queen Mother of the West.

""Your Majesty, please come, I'm waiting for your good news," Wang Qi said.

The Western Empress Dowager nodded.

After Wang Qi left, the Western Empress Dowager summoned Prince Yixin, the Japanese prince Liugong, and went to the Eastern Empress Dowager's palace.

"I see the empress dowager of the two palaces, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old." After Yi Xin arrived, he knelt down on one knee to say hello.

"Mr. Six, please sit down quickly." The Queen Mother of the West was quite enthusiastic.

"Thank you to the Queen Mother for the seat." Yi Xin sat on the chair brought by Li Lianying.

""Sister, what's the matter with summoning Mr. Six here today?" the Queen Mother of the East asked the Queen Mother of the West.

In fact, the name of this sister is not because the Queen Mother of the East is older, but the Queen Mother of the East is two years younger than the Queen Mother of the West. , but the Queen Mother of the East had a high status. She was the queen of the main palace when Xianfeng was in power, while the Queen Mother of the West was just a noble concubine of Lan and was later promoted to concubine Yi. After Xianfeng died, although the Queen Mother of the West was the biological mother of Emperor Tongzhi, after all, the Queen Mother of the West was not the queen of the main palace, and her status She is just one head lower than the Queen Mother of the East, so the Queen Mother of the West often feels depressed because of this.

"Sister, please be patient and don't be impatient, it's Taiwan's business," said the Queen Mother of the West

"Taiwan? I heard that Li Hongzhang seems to be negotiating," said the Queen Mother Dong

"Mr. Liu knows this best," said the Queen Mother of the West.

"Yes, Li Hongzhang is indeed negotiating with the Japanese ambassador, hoping that there will be no war," Yi Xin said

"What else is there to say?" Queen Mother Dong was puzzled.

"That Baylor from the Zhou Kingdom just came to me and said that he was willing to solve the Taiwan issue for us," said the Queen Mother of the West.

"He's an interesting foreigner, he seems to like to get involved in other countries' affairs," said the Empress Dowager Dong.

""To the Queen Mother, Taiwan is our territory of the Qing Dynasty. Now the Japanese are causing trouble, which has made me very anxious. If foreigners come again, I'm afraid things will become more complicated." Yi Xin is also worried

"It’s impossible for foreigners to help us deal with the Japanese in vain," said Empress Dowager Dong.

"He said that when things were done, he would co-administer Taiwan with the Qing Dynasty." The Queen Mother of the West did not hide it.

"this.. How is this possible?"Queen Mother Dong and Yi Xin were surprised when they heard this. Dare Wang Qi take the opportunity to intervene in Taiwan?

"What does sister mean?"The Queen Mother Dong asked

"After he left, I came to see my sister. I didn’t consider the matter carefully. I just listened to what my sister and Sixth Master said," said the Queen Mother of the West.

"Taiwan’s affairs are our Qing Dynasty’s own affairs," the Empress Dowager Dong said.

"So what Mr. Liu means?"The Queen Mother of the West asked Yi Xin again

"I believe that what the Empress Dowager Mother said is reasonable, and we must never allow foreigners to interfere in Taiwan's affairs again," Yi Xin said

"That's fine, just follow the wishes of my sister and the Sixth Master," the Queen Mother of the West said.

But will Wang Qi give up the invasion of Taiwan because of the Qing court's refusal? Of course not.

After he returned to the consulate of the Zhou Empire in Dongcheng District, the capital Immediately ordered Wang Duo via telegram to send a regiment carrying radio equipment and sailing to Taiwan to fight against the Japanese.

After arranging everything, Wang Qi ended the trip to inspect the consulate and returned to Jinling.

However, due to the small number of Japanese, and the fact that they were all gathered in It was near the residence of the mountain people of Mudanshe, so the Kyushu soldiers who first came to the island did not find them for a while.

At the foot of Mount Ali, the Kyushu soldiers finally found traces of the Japanese. There was nothing to say. The Kyushu soldiers couldn't help but attack them. The Japanese were beaten by time and fled in panic.

"What's going on, what happened!"Colonel Huashan Ziji saw that his men were suddenly defeated and he said angrily.

"Report, Your Majesty Colonel, an unknown army is attacking me," said a Japanese second lieutenant.

"Second Lieutenant Oda, please explain clearly what kind of unknown army you are talking about." Huashan Ziji couldn't understand it at all.

In addition to the well-equipped Japanese army near Alishan, are there other armies from other countries?

"The identity of the enemy has not been found out yet," said the Japanese Second Lieutenant Oda.

"asshole! What did you do! I was beaten and I didn’t know who my opponent was! How stupid!"Huashan Ziji slapped Second Lieutenant Oda in the face with a big mouth

"Hi!"The unlucky Xiaotian could only stand at attention and lower his head in response.

"Request tactical guidance!"Then Lieutenant Oda said again

"Secure your defense immediately! I want to see who ruined the affairs of the Japanese country," Huashan Ziji ordered.

After the order was issued, the Japanese soldiers gathered one after another to form a defense line.

Soon one after another black and golden golden crow flags appeared in the sight of the Japanese.

A large number of them appeared. Soldiers wearing black military uniforms, peaked iron hats, carrying tactical backpacks and corresponding combat equipment, and holding rifles and bayonets appeared.

"What kind of army is this?"Huashan Ziji asked, holding up the telescope.

"It’s not clear yet," Second Lieutenant Oda said.

Just when Huashan Ziji and a group of Japanese officers and soldiers were wondering

"attack! Destroy them!"The Kyushu soldiers began to attack

"Go ahead"

"Snapped.. Snapped"

Shouts and gunshots mixed together.

Five to six thousand Kyushu soldiers poured into the Japanese temporary positions.

Although the Japanese resisted vigorously, they could not withstand the opponent's large numbers and weapons. Huashan Ziji and his group of Japanese were quickly defeated again.

Huashan Ziji cursed while running away.

However, Huashan Ziji and several officers were captured by the Kyushu soldiers before they ran far.

At the same time, as many as 800 Japanese troops were captured.

Commander Kyushu Bingshen immediately asked the telegraph operator who came with the army to send a telegram to the headquarters of the Andong Protectorate's overseas corps, saying that the Japanese had been defeated and hundreds of prisoners were captured, including several officials.

A small regiment commander can actually communicate directly with the regiment commander. Isn't this an exaggeration? No, this mission is special, so Wang Duo told him before departure that Captain Shen could communicate with him by telegraph at any time.

"Reply to Commander Shen and ask him to set up camp and keep an eye on the prisoners. I will ask the second prince for instructions." Wang Duo ordered in the telecommunications room.

"Yes." The telegraph operator responded and started sending the telegram.

"Second brother, it's done. The Japanese have been defeated and hundreds of people have been captured by us, including several officers." Wang Duo showed the translated message to Wang Qi.

"oh? Okay, the Japanese are as cunning as foxes, I want to see how they handle this matter," Wang Qi said

"Second brother, how to deal with the aftermath?" Wang Duo asked.

At this time,"Report, Prince, Director Qi is here" the guard came in to inform

"Please come in," Wang Qi ordered.

Soon a woman wearing a purple and white one-shoulder tight dress came in.

"Haha, aunt came just in time, I have something to entrust to aunt," Wang Qi said to the visitor with a smile.

This woman is Qi Meng (Concubine Xiang). She is the newly appointed director of foreign affairs. The original director Huangfu Weiyan became ill and resigned. Returned to the land of Kyushu and Ten Thousand Kingdoms to recuperate.

"The second prince has something to do, but please give me your instructions," Qi Meng said.

"I would like to ask my aunt to visit the Japanese country and hand our credentials to their prime minister." Wang Qi took out a folder from the drawer and handed it to Qi Meng.

"Japanese country? What are you doing there?"Qi Meng took the folder, looked at it, and asked

"What my aunt doesn’t know is that this is a long plan that is about to begin and will last for decades, and the Japanese country is an important chess piece in the plan," Wang Qi said

"Well, it’s your father’s wild plan again," Qi Meng said.

"What my aunt said is absolutely true," Wang Qi said with a smile.

"When should I leave? Qi Meng asked

""Leave as soon as possible," Wang Qi said.

Qi Meng took the folder and left.

Taiwan, Jiuzhou Military Camp at the foot of Mount Ali

"It’s time to eat, it’s time to eat!"Kyushu soldiers came to deliver meals to the captured Japanese.

Although the food these Japanese people ate was not very good, it was not bad. There were two meals a day, each meal included a can of pork and a can of vegetables. There were also meals brought by the Kyushu soldiers from Taiwan. Bought rice.

(PS: Doesn’t this sound good?

Wang Qi: This can is about to expire and must be disposed of quickly.

PS：）

"Hello! When will we be released! Huashan Ziji yelled.

But the Jiuzhou soldier who delivered the meal couldn't understand what he was saying. He only glanced at him and didn't respond.
