Conference table. Li Zhen sat on the main seat, Zheng Zaoru sat first on the left hand side, and Su Lei, a general under Qi Zhenhai, sat first on the right hand side. Next, it was the major officials from Taiwan's two governments, eight counties, and four halls who rushed over, and all of them sat down around the conference table. None of the generals in the army, such as Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang, were busy with their own affairs.

At this moment, there was silence in the tent.

Everyone's eyes fell on Li Zhen, waiting for Li Zhen to speak.

Li Zhen's eyes swept over the officials present, and said solemnly: "Some of you are in the north of Taiwan, and some of you are in the northwest or northeast of Taiwan,......, you have come to Kaohsiung thousands of miles away, and you have worked hard!" ”

The officials shook their heads again and again, indicating that they were not hard.

Their eyes radiated a look of expectation.

Li Zhen's large-scale summoning of officials must have something big happening, and it is likely to have a close relationship with them, so all the officials are concentrated and do not have the slightest distraction.

The atmosphere in the tent was solemn and serious.

Li Zhen said: "This time, this king has a few things to inform you. The first thing concerns Taiwan, which is located on the sea, surrounded by the sea, with the East China Sea in the north and the South China Sea in the south, and is a major communication route on the sea. Warships from the United States, Britain, France, and other foreign countries all passed through this place, and it was a major transportation route at sea. Such a place with such a critical geographical location is no longer something that can be included in one prefecture. From today onwards, Taiwan is no longer a province of Fujian Province, and I will become an independent province named Taiwan Province, alongside Fujian Province and Guangdong Province. ”

As soon as the words fell, a burst of exclamations erupted in the tent.

The news that Li Zhen said was too shocking.

The Taiwan government turned out to be Taiwan Province!

For ordinary people, the Taiwan government has become Taiwan Province, and there is no substantive change, it is nothing more than how many officials will emerge above the heads of the people. However, as far as Taiwan's major officials are concerned, this is already a matter that concerns every official present, and it is no longer just news.

Taiwan is an independent province, and there must be a big adjustment of officials, which needs to be filled by countless officials. In particular, the officials of the two governments, eight counties and four departments are likely to be promoted to several levels, so all the officials are extremely shocked and see the opportunity in front of them.

Moreover, after the Taiwan government became Taiwan Province, who will serve as the governor?

Everything attracted the attention of officials.

The officials talked selflessly, and got carried away, and actually left Li Zhen, Zheng Zaoru and Su Lei aside, completely forgetting that they were discussing things in the barracks. The inside of the camp tent has become a vegetable market, as if the shrew scolding the street has caused countless onlookers to blame.

Li Zhen was silent and did not speak.

Su Lei's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said in a deep voice: "You are Taiwan's talents, but you are noisy, and it looks like a vegetable market." What the prince said was just the first thing, and you are already like this. If all the next events were announced, wouldn't everyone have to make a fuss and tear up the tents? ”

The officials looked at each other, immediately silenced, and did not dare to speak again.

At the same time, the officials began to speculate in their hearts, thinking about Zheng Zaoru's intention to take the initiative to speak. People who mix in officialdom are definitely good at figuring out their intentions. Zheng Zaoru suddenly spoke, which made the officials feel a little unusual.

Li Zhen continued: "I can't stabilize a little thing, it's embarrassing!" ”

In a word, none of the officials present did not change their color.

When this sentence came out of Li Zhen's mouth, it was no less than a thunderclap. To put it more seriously, Li Zhen stomped his feet, and it was going to cause an earthquake in officialdom in Taiwan.

The officials no longer dared to be presumptuous, and sat in a proper manner.

Li Zhen continued: "The second thing, **** is a separate province, and the governor of Taiwan needs to preside over Taiwan's government affairs. The king appointed Zheng Zaoru as the first governor of Taiwan and ruled Taiwan. I hope you and Zheng Zaoru have a happy cooperation. After a pause, Li Zhen's eyes fell on Zheng Zaoru and said, "Mr. Zheng, introduce yourself!" ”

Zheng Zaoru stood up, raised his head and chest, and said with full confidence: "My name is Zheng Zaoru, and I will serve in Taiwan next, and I will work with you for a long time in the future." I hope that you will work together with me to build Taiwan well, build Taiwan into a barrier for the Qing Dynasty, and defend the Qing Dynasty. ”

"Smack! Syllable!!! ”

Li Zhen took the lead in applauding, and warm applause suddenly rang out in the tent.

However, Li Zhen's face changed, and he said calmly: "Zheng Zaoru is the first governor of Taiwan appointed by this king, and he is the person I have high hopes for. I hope that you and Zheng Zao can cooperate sincerely, help each other, and work with one heart and one mind. If you don't cooperate, or you don't obey the yin, hehe...... You don't need me to do anything, Mr. Zheng will take care of you. ”

A 'Mr. Zheng' shows Li Zhen's attitude.

The officials were slightly jealous, but more in awe, and even with flattery, and their expressions changed drastically.

Li Zhen looked at Su Lei and said in a deep voice: "The third thing, Zheng Zaoru is the governor of Taiwan, and he is responsible for Taiwan's government affairs. Su Lei, the brigade commander under the command of this king, led a brigade of troops to be stationed in Taiwan for a long time and was responsible for Taiwan's military. The two of them will take root in Taiwan and contribute their own strength to Taiwan's prosperity and stability, and I hope you can show your talents more. ”

After this order was issued, the faces of all major officials in Taiwan changed.

Only Zheng Zaoru is alone in Taiwan, and they have the opportunity to disobey the yang and the yin. After all, Zheng Zaoru is only a civilian official and does not have enough military power. Now that Zheng Zaoru is equipped with someone in charge of the army, the effect immediately changes. Li Zhen glanced at the expressions of the officials present and sneered twice in his heart. If he wants to control Taiwan, he will naturally not allow an uncontrolled situation to occur.

Li Zhen said: "Su Lei, let's make an introduction." ”

Su Lei got up and said, "Everyone, I'm Su Lei." Su Wu's 'Su' shepherding sheep, the bright and upright 'Lei'. I am the flagship in Taiwan, and I hope that everyone will do things like Su Wu and be loyal to the prince. You can also have a heart to do things honestly and be worthy of your heart. ”

With that, Su Lei sat down.

Li Zhen said: "The supreme governor of Taiwan Province has determined for you, and the next fourth thing is the appointment, dismissal, and promotion of officials. At present, although Taiwan is an independent province, there are also Taiwanese governor Zheng Zaoru and brigade commander Su Lei stationed in Taiwan. However, officials from the two governments, eight counties and four departments want to be promoted and are still given preferential treatment. I will give you a one-year assessment period, and if you perform well, Zheng Zaoru will evaluate you to determine whether you will be promoted. ”

Li Zhen put down his power and immediately gave Zheng Zaoru a Shang Fang sword.

Zheng Zaoru took office in Taiwan as a foreigner, and Li Zhen was definitely not at ease, after all, every place has local protection. Li Zhen gave Zheng Zaoru the opportunity to promote officials, so he divided the local officials in Taiwan, and let some people fall to Zheng Zaoru, so that Zheng Zaoru had a breakthrough.

Li Zhen gave orders on the four major matters, and spent another hour talking about Taiwan's affairs and sorting out Taiwan's affairs before allowing the officials to leave and return to their own places.
