Red Alert 1895 Chapter 123

After many consultations and negotiations with Li Hongzhang, Wang Guorui finally came to an agreement with the Manchu Qing mainland government, that is, the Manchu Qing gave the biggest concession under the condition that Taiwan was not independent, and after signing the treaty, Wang Guorui Rui's subordinates and some elders in Taiwan also began to announce related news together.

"Everyone, I have signed a contract with the mainland court as the leader of Taiwan. We will return to the Qing Dynasty and exist as a special administrative region." Wang Guorui said.

"But my lord, if the imperial court gives us Taiwan again..." someone asked.

Although these words did not say anything, they also represented the aspirations of many people, because before the mainland government ceded Taiwan without hesitation, this has already made many people extremely sad. Later, the mainland government also began to order Taiwan to give up resistance. This is simply absurd to give up resistance when Taiwan has gained a huge advantage. So many people are disappointed with the mainland government, and naturally they don't want to listen to the mainland government. Now that it is heard that it is back under the control of the mainland government, this obviously makes many people feel a little worried.

"You can rest assured that Taiwan is a special administrative region. The court of our special administrative region will not send officials to manage it. We have independent legislative, administrative and judicial powers, and also have a certain degree of diplomatic power. We have the right to form an army for self-defense. And the leader of Taiwan will be called the Governor of Taiwan, chosen by our own people, and the imperial court will not send someone to serve. We just need to maintain a yearly sending one tael of silver to the imperial court central government, which is considered as our tax payment."

And I heard that Taiwan can have so many rights. This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Because of these rights, Taiwan will no longer be the Taiwan it used to be, but will become an independent Taiwan. Although Taiwan will not be able to truly become independent by then. But it is also a special administrative region with independent self-management in management. Although Taiwan seems to be under the management of the central government of the Qing Dynasty, in fact it has not been able to be controlled by the central government of the Qing Dynasty, and it is completely a state of separatism.

Such a plan actually satisfies many people. After all, everyone has lived as a Chinese since they were young, and they all think that establishing a country by themselves is a rebellious act. But they are also worried that if the imperial court abandons them again, or uses their interests as a bargaining chip, it will definitely make the Taiwanese very unhappy. So Taiwanese are very satisfied with this special administrative region. In this way, not only can the right of independence be obtained, but it can also be charged with the crime of splitting the country. Therefore, this special administrative region is formulated based on the situation between the two. Still quite satisfying.

"As for the agreement between us and the imperial court, we are a secret agreement, so everyone should not tell it. If we tell it, there will be endless troubles. So we all understand it in our hearts." Wang Guorui said.

Although Wang Guorui and Li Hongzhang signed the contract on the Taiwan Special Administrative Region, the signing of this treaty is a secret agreement, not a public signing. After that, both parties will not make it public, and it will be done in secret. And the Manchu Qing government was able to maintain the last trace of face, so that it would not be too seriously damaged. As for Wang Guorui, he was also worried that if he signed the Taiwan Special Administrative Region agreement and publicly implemented it, then if the governors of the mainland followed suit, the land of China would face a huge crisis of national division. At that time, the contradictions between the governors of various regions and the central government became public, and the governors of all regions would inevitably fall into a state of melee. Although Wang Guorui didn't like Man Qing very much, he had to admit it. The Manchu Qing is currently the only organization suitable as a central government.

Once there is no coordination and suppression from the Qing government, the local governors will inevitably set off a wave of independence one by one. Therefore, in order to unify the country and avoid open splits, Wang Guorui asked foreigners to come and take advantage of the opportunity. He can only temporarily maintain the majesty of the Manchu Qing, so that the Manchu Qing can have enough prestige to suppress the local governor. This is not because Wang Guorui is a running dog of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but because he must make the motherland achieve nominal unity and not split. Once there is an open split, countries around the world will take the opportunity to come over and make waves.

At least for now, Wang Guorui still hopes that the country can be unified. In this regard, his and Man Qing's interests are temporarily consistent. He also didn't want the country to split openly, so he agreed with Li Hongzhang. I chose to sign this treaty in secret, and it will not be made public. And in this way, the governors in mainland China will not openly demand the establishment of more special administrative regions, and this will also prevent the country from splitting openly, which can also solve this problem very well. As long as the country is not divided, it is difficult for foreigners to have the opportunity to intervene.

And Wang Guorui will be the governor of Taiwan in the future. He will temporarily rule Taiwan as a province of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then he can gradually start to encroach on the Manchu Qing Dynasty inland. And with the status of this Chinese province, it will be much easier to seize the central government in the future, and it will not be interfered by foreign countries.

It's not that Wang Guorui didn't think about it, and immediately launched an attack on the mainland, and then seized the central government. But the consequence of this is that it is necessary to compromise with those traditional conservative forces, because Wang Guorui does not have too many civilian officials at present, at most they are some military officers. Although Wang Guorui has an army, those civil servants are also very important. If there are no civil servants, then the original Manchu officials must be retained, and then those conservative forces will be retained to continue to exert their influence in the new government. At that time, although Wang Guorui established a new dynasty, it was completely different from the previous dynasty.

Therefore, Wang Guorui had to stay and develop for a few years. Only when he cultivated his "internal strength" could he develop. Otherwise, if there are no qualified government officials to replace those conservative officials, I am afraid that it will not be possible to carry out the reform of the national social system. If the country and social system cannot be reformed, it is tantamount to changing the soup without changing the medicine, and Wang Guorui will not be able to establish a new dynasty. Maybe it will not take many years to go back to the old path of the Qing Dynasty. This can be said to be very tragic, and it is the result that must be completely avoided.

"Okay, this is how our Taiwan Special Administrative Region will be established. However, it is impossible for a snake to have no head. We must elect a governor of Taiwan who can lead everyone to a happy life, so that we can lead everyone to live a better life together. Days! Therefore, please elect a virtuous person to lead the people of Taiwan to prosperity together," Wang Guorui said.

Immediately, someone said very "sincerely": "Master Wang, I think you must be the governor of Taiwan? Without you, Taiwan would all become a colony of Japanese pirates, and we would all become slaves of Japanese pirates. That What did you say about property back then, even life cannot be preserved! So, Mr. Wang, you have a great debt of gratitude to Taiwan, who else can be the governor of Taiwan if you are not in charge of it?"

"Yes, yes, you are not in charge, Mr. Wang, there is no one more suitable!" Everyone said together.

In the current situation, it is obvious that everyone is a monk with lice on his forehead. Wang Guorui has the military power in Taiwan. If anyone wants to be the governor of Taiwan, he must agree. Even taking a step back, if Wang Guorui is not right, then the more than two million people in Taiwan will kill the person who grabs the position. Therefore, since this is the case, it is better to directly support Wang Guorui as the governor, so maybe he can get a "conglong meritorious service"!

But Wang Guorui immediately said: "Hey, I, the leader of Taiwan's Anti-Japanese War, is only a temporary responsibility, and I can't take it seriously. Moreover, this anti-Japanese war is the result of the joint efforts of more than two million people in Taiwan. How can I be so greedy? Is it all credit?"

And when everyone heard Wang Guorui's "hypocritical" words, they obviously understood the meaning. Since ancient times, it has been necessary to "three requests and three speeches" to be able to become an emperor, but this time Wang Guorui obviously needs "three requests and three speeches" to be able to ascend to the throne. And everyone understood this truth, so they immediately started talking.

"Master Wang, without you, we would not be able to defeat the Japanese army. What's more, your prestige in Taiwan is very sufficient, even if one person, one vote, you will be elected! So please don't be humble, Mr. Wang, you are ours. The pillar of Taiwan!" Someone said again.

Wang Guorui said hypocritically again: "I'm not from Taiwan!"

"Mr. Wang's words are wrong~www.mtlnovel.com~ It doesn't matter whether you are Taiwanese or not. Even if Mr. Wang is not from Taiwan, you are also from Fujian. Most of us Taiwanese are from Taiwan. Fujian was migrated from Fujian. Taiwan and Fujian have been one family since ancient times. What's more, it was just established as a province nine years ago, and it was all belonged to Fujian before, so there is no problem that Taiwan and Fujian are one family. What's more, if you go up Tweet, didn't we Fujianese also migrate from the north? So Taiwanese, there is no purebred native at all. Unless, are you willing to let those barbarians of the Gaoshan nationality serve as the governor of Taiwan?”

And this guy's words immediately let everyone solve the theoretical basis for Wang Guorui not being a Taiwanese but serving as the governor of Taiwan, so Wang Guorui, a Fujian native, is not a problem as the governor of Taiwan.

"Forget it, since everyone is willing to let me take on this burden, then I will reluctantly take it! However, if there are more powerful talents in the future, then I will definitely step down and let them!" Wang Guorui said.

When Wang Guorui said this, it made me feel disgusting. If I dared to give way to the virtuous at that time, then other "virtuous talents" must have the courage to do so. After all, the Taiwanese army is under Wang Guorui's control. what! (to be continued)
