Chapter 140: Spring and Autumn Dream

In September 1896, a middle-aged man of about forty years old and a young girl of about eighteen years old came here in Taipei City, and they looked a little alike, apparently a father and daughter.

"Father, will this Taiwanese governor Wang Guorui support us to help the emperor regain power?" The girl asked.

The middle-aged man immediately said, "I don't know, but we all have to fight for it." This Taiwanese governor Wang Guorui has military power in his hands, and has tens of thousands of strong troops that even the Western powers dare not humiliate, and he is a very powerful person. So, give it a try. ”

"Father, what can we do to impress him?" The girl asked.

And the middle-aged man thought for a while and said: "He is only about twenty years old, such a young person is nothing more than power and beauty, he already has the right to divide one side, we might as well tempt it in terms of women!" ”

And when the girl heard this, her face turned a little red.

"Mr. Kang, Lord Wang has received you!" Said the doorman of the Taiwan Governor's Palace.

Wang Guorui saw the father and daughter walk in, and the first thing he looked at was that he didn't pay attention to the father, but to her daughter. And this woman surprised Wang Guorui a little, because this woman looks very beautiful, especially that kind of intellectual beauty, although her appearance is not the top kind of beauty, but she is very temperamental. Wang Guorui is also a high-ranking person in Taiwan, and many people want to dedicate beauties to him. But Wang Guorui didn't accept it, because Wang Guorui could see that those women were women without "souls". Wang Guorui prefers the kind of woman with connotation, rather than the kind of vase with a beautiful face. If it is Wang Guorui in the past, he will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to open up. Palace. But Wang Guorui, who really has this opportunity, feels that it is better for women to have some taste and connotation, rather than just a beautiful face. If it has no connotation at all, it is like a beautiful zombie. That's pretty boring. In addition to the fact that the emperor must leave a bloodline for future generations and have to live with this kind of woman who has no connotation, I am afraid that the vast majority of men with connotation do not like this kind of "beautiful skeleton". But Wang Guorui actually saw a temperament beauty, this kind of woman knew at a glance that she was very talented and belonged to the category of talented women.

"Mr. Kang, Miss Kang. Disrespectful and disrespectful, looking at Miss Kang's beautiful face just now, it was really a bit rude! Wang Guorui took the initiative to say.

"Governor Wang is okay, the little girl is just empty and willowy, and she can't get into the eyes ......of Governor Wang," said Mr. Kang.

And when Mr. Kang sat down, Wang Guorui took the initiative to say: "Mr. Kang, some time ago, you led countless scholars to write to the court, so that the imperial court could abolish the contract with the Japanese Kou, but you will be famous all over the world." Who doesn't know the name of your Mr. Kang Youwei! ”

"How dare you, if it weren't for Governor Wang's defeat of the Japanese Invaders, then I wouldn't have been able to have this opportunity! If it weren't for Governor Wang, you would not have had the opportunity to raise our voices. Kang Youwei replied.

And this middle-aged man is Kang Youwei, he originally participated in the bus to write the book, and later when Wang Guorui won a phased victory, he launched the book again and asked the court to abolish the contract, so Kang Youwei became famous all over the world. As for now, Kang Youwei actually came to Taiwan. Although Wang Guorui knew that Kang Youwei was absolutely not good, he also wanted to see what kind of person Kang Youwei, who was quite famous in history, was. But now the first thing that impressed him the most was Kang Youwei's daughter.

"Mr. Kang. Why did you come to Taiwan? Wang Guorui asked.

And Kang Youwei immediately said: "Lord Wang, are you still not my courtier of the Qing Dynasty?" ”

"I am a courtier of China!" Wang Guorui said.

And Kang Youwei frowned, obviously probably guessed the meaning of Wang Guorui's "Chinese courtier". However, Kang Youwei knows very well that some things are still difficult to be confused. After all, it's not good for anyone to pick it out.

So Kang Youwei pretended not to know what Wang Guorui meant, and took the initiative to continue: "Since you still admit that you are my courtier of the Qing Dynasty, you naturally have to be loyal to me in the Qing Dynasty." As long as Governor Wang is willing to support the emperor, the pressure on the emperor will definitely be reduced a lot, and that is my hero of the Qing Dynasty! And now my Qing Dynasty has been invaded by barbarians. Land reparations everywhere. And I, the Qing Dynasty, must cheer up, and then fight against the foreign barbarians together to recover the land for my Qing Dynasty. If my courtiers of the Qing Dynasty can't share the emperor's worries, then how can I be loyal to the country? So, please also ask Lord Wang to help the emperor! ”

"After helping the emperor, what are you going to do in the future?" Wang Guorui asked.

Kang Youwei immediately said: "As long as you help the emperor regain power, you can also let the emperor decree reforms, and then revitalize the Qing Dynasty, train new troops, and then go to recover the country." When the time comes, I will be able to prosper in the Qing Dynasty! ”

"Your grandfather's, it seems that it is so easy to build a strong country, and when you touch the two mouths, it will create a strong country? If a country is really that easy to become strong, then why do you need a revolution? Sure enough, he is a man with low eyes, but he can just talk about it. Wang Guorui complained in his heart.

"When the time comes, I will recover the land, and I will fight against the barbarians under the leadership of the emperor, and clean the shame of the past for me. At that time, those barbarians would definitely not be the opponents of the Great Qing Dynasty after my transformation, and we would definitely be able to work hard for the strength of the Great Qing Dynasty. Kang Youwei said.

But Wang Guorui snorted softly, obviously helpless about Kang Youwei's idea. This Kang Youwei, and even the Guangxu Emperor behind him are really naïve. They thought that they would be able to carry out national reforms at the emperor's command, and then the country would be strong? This Kang Youwei may not know at all that the power of the court is now in the hands of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the court is full of people from the post-party, and they are the real core. And these post-party parties are all vested interests, will they obey the emperor's orders and give up their vested interests? Are they really willing to give up their official positions and choose to accept those so-called supervision, and those who give up those traditional ideas to change the country?

History has proven that it is simply impossible to get those with vested interests to abandon their own interests. Countless reformers have marched on the bones of those with vested interests, and this is a life-and-death struggle. And Kang Youwei naively thought that if the emperor gave an order, the whole world would follow the reform, would such a situation happen? And in the future, a constitutional monarchy will inevitably be implemented, if Guangxu really has the right to obey the world one after another with an order, then will he still choose reform and choose a constitutional monarchy?

This Guangxu, the so-called reform, is just a process of wanting to take the opportunity to win over people and then regain power for themselves. This so-called reform of the law is actually just an absurd farce. But Wang Guorui didn't expect that he had resisted the Japanese army, but instead let this Kang Youwei and Guangxu meet and hook up in advance. And Kang Youwei wants to be prosperous and rich, and Guangxu wants to seize power, these two guys chose the same path, that is, to change the law and reform.

"Governor Wang, as long as you can take the initiative to support us after the emperor implements the law change, then with your identity, you will definitely be able to help us a lot. At that time, once the emperor regains his power and implements the law change, you will definitely be able to pay homage to the prime minister at that time, and even the hero of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, we opened up the territory together under the leadership of the emperor, and we served the emperor with one article and one martial arts, what a magnificent prospect it was! Kang Youwei said wistfully.

Wang Guorui knew that this Kang Youwei was sick, and the illness was not light, and his biggest illness was fantasy. Before things started, he began to dream about what could help Guangxu regain his rights and expand his territory. The most terrifying thing is that he has regarded his status with Wang Guorui as an equal existence, what does Kang Youwei say is a civil official, and Wang Guorui is a military attaché. He has regarded himself and Wang Guorui as equals, and he doesn't pee and take pictures, what is his identity now, and what is Wang Guorui's identity? Wang Guorui is the governor of Taiwan, and he is also the governor who can really divide one side, not the kind of governor appointed by the imperial court. So Kang Youwei actually compared himself with Wang Guorui at the moment, which is simply ridiculous. This Kang Youwei is definitely not a qualified lobbyist, if he hadn't met Wang Guorui who had a heart for using them, then he would have blown them away a long time ago.

"Let your spring and autumn dreams be done well, and then you will be immersed in your own dreams, at that time you are destined to gradually wake up in the dreams, and then die. At this time, he still wanted to do what he dreamed of, thinking about revitalizing the Manchu Qing Dynasty, then defeating the Western powers, and then expanding his territory. The Manchus had rotted to the roots, and they could not be saved without overthrowing and re-establishing a state. But you are still dreaming of the revitalization of the Qing Dynasty and then expanding the territory and ruling the world, which is simply unreasonable. Wang Guorui thought to himself.

However, since Guangxu is so stupid, Wang Guorui might as well add fuel to the fire on it. Anyway, this matter is harmless to me, I just need to support them, and I don't have to do anything practical. And in his own capacity, as long as he can show support for the Restoration Party, it is a very huge support. (To be continued......)
