When Wang Guorui entered the capital, he immediately sent troops to take over the yamen, the central institutions, and even seized many properties belonging to the Manchu state. For example, the imperial village belonging to the Manchu imperial family, various lands, horse farms and pastures of the Taifu Temple and so on belong to the national industry. However, in order to avoid the backlash of those Manchu officials, the property of those ordinary officials and nobles has not been seized at present, because they are a local snake in the capital, and if they want to be naughty, it will be really very troublesome. Although Taiwan's army is very strong and is a powerful dragon, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake! What's more, at present, it is more important to fight against foreign enemies, these foreigners are still in Tianjin, if there is any problem in the capital, it will be really troublesome.

For the time being, it is necessary to appease for the time being, after all, Taiwan and foreign devils are national contradictions, and they are the primary contradictions. and these landlord-born bureaucrats, although they have a lot of corruption, but these guys are only minor contradictions, and there is no need to directly clean them up for the time being. When the main contradictions still exist, it is necessary to temporarily abandon these secondary contradictions, and then slowly clean up the foreign devils in the future. Otherwise, they are likely to take advantage of the foreigners' attack and mischievous you in your rear, which is the real trouble. Now for foreign devils, it is necessary to fight, these Manchu bureaucrats can be properly appeased, not too much stimulation of them.

"Husband, many of the Manchu bureaucrats have come to see you, and I hope you can meet you. They all want to take advantage of this time to come and take refuge, and then get a good status. I guess we're going to meet them? Wang Guorui's chief of staff, Kang Tongwei, asked.

Wang Guorui asked: "How many officials are they?" ”

"They are all below the third grade, and senior officials above the third grade still have doubts in their hearts about whether to come to take refuge." Kang Tongwei replied.

"Old fox!" Wang Guorui scolded in a low voice.

Although these officials above the third rank already know that the change of dynasty is almost inevitable, they are people who have lived in the sea for most of their lives. Experienced. They won't take the initiative to take refuge too early, not to mention that most of their butts are not clean, let's just say that they are also fearless. They believe that the situation is not yet clear, especially since the foreigners outside are still attacking, and if Taiwan cannot stop the attack of the foreigners, then everything will be in vain. If Wang Guorui was beaten back to Taiwan by foreigners. If you take refuge in Wang Guorui too early, you will really not be a person inside and outside at that time.

So they chose to remain silent and did not directly take the initiative to come and take refuge. In addition, they have a large network of relationships, and their various officialdom friendships are not small, which makes them all very proud, thinking that Wang Guorui must rely on them. If Wang Guorui took the initiative to invite them to "look at the thatched house", then they could be regarded as qualified to negotiate conditions. But if you take the initiative to take refuge directly, you are not qualified to negotiate conditions, and all of them, old fritters, will not take the initiative to give up the opportunity to negotiate conditions.

"Hmph. They don't look down on us, and we don't look down on them! Let Zhou Chen, the director of the United Front Work Committee, solve this matter, he is familiar with these officials, let him decide these people! Wang Guorui said.

Soon, the original Taiwan Office in Beijing immediately became crowded, and people came from everywhere. At present, although Zhou Chen has been appointed as the director of the United Front Work Committee, the Taiwan Beijing Office has not been abolished. Zhou Chen is still in this position. However, this Taiwan Beijing office has almost completed its historical mission and may be abolished at any time. But. These Manchu officials didn't care about this, they just knew that this was Taiwan's territory, and they all came over with various gifts.

At this time, the Taiwan Office in Beijing was almost stepped on by everyone, and everyone came over with large bags and small bags of gifts. They originally wanted to see Wang Guorui, but Wang Guorui's guards didn't let them get close at all, and directly told them to get out. And soon Wang Guorui's order came out. Let Zhou Chen take charge of the aftermath of this Manchu official below the third grade. This made everyone seem to have found a goal, and then they came over to ask to see Zhou Chen, hoping that Zhou Chen could help them say a few good words in front of Wang Guorui, so that they could get Wang Guorui's attention, and at least be able to save their lives!

"Hmph. These guys, when we first came a few years ago, they were all very arrogant, and we sent a greeting post, and they all saw each other if they wanted to, and they didn't see if they didn't want to. We spent an unknown amount of 'activity money' to get them to favor us. These guys are all extremely greedy, and they don't take less bribes from us on weekdays. And if you don't give them bribes, then they won't support us. These guys, now it's them begging us. You see they're carrying big bags of things, and now they're all coming to us and begging us, hoping that we can help them get rid of their crimes. A staff member of Taiwan's Beijing Office said.

And the other immediately said, "Hmph, why did they go earlier!" These guys don't cry when they don't see the coffin, and when we didn't directly threaten the imperial court, they looked down on us for the north and the south. But now that we have entered the capital, they know that they are afraid. We were already in control of their fate at any time, and at this time they finally knew that they were afraid, so they came over with large bags of gifts, hoping that we could bypass their lives or even continue to be officials. ”

"Hmph, these guys, do you really think we're going to continue to make them officials? They will definitely be cleared out of the officialdom, and we don't need this garbage. ”

Seeing those Manchu officials coming over one by one with big bags of things, everyone felt very relieved, because these guys had always been extremely arrogant in the past, and they originally ignored the people in Taiwan. They think that they have power in their hands and that they are their own territory in the capital, and although Taiwan's Beijing office seems to have a high status, they still have to listen to them. These guys did not extort money, but now Wang Guorui led the troops to fight, and Zhou Chen, director of the Taiwan Beijing Office, suddenly became a person who could control their fate.

At this time, those Manchu officials hurried over with hindsight, hoping to re-befriend Zhou Chen. They have simply forgotten how they treated the staff of the Taiwan Beijing Office at that time, how they asked for bribes from the staff of the Taiwan Beijing Office back then, and then they are all facing the current result. In fact, the reason why they have this result is because they have a weak heart. If they hadn't done bad things, they hadn't embezzled, they hadn't done anything sorry for the country, the nation, and the people, then how could they be so scared now?

The so-called body is not afraid of shadows, does not do bad things on weekdays, and is not afraid of ghosts calling the door in the middle of the night. It is precisely because they have done too many unfortunate things and their relations with Taiwan are not very good that they have not even blackmailed the people in Taiwan's Beijing Office, so that they are so afraid now. They, officials below the third grade, are in a very awkward position. If you want to talk about political influence, there is a point, but compared to those first- and second-grade bachelors, books, etc., it is obviously not enough. These guys, Wang Guorui is tasteless and abandoned, it's a pity. They are not like those low-level officials, who are all going with the flow anyway. And they also have some net worth, but they are also very afraid, because Wang Guorui will use them as a model for punishing corruption at that time, I am afraid it will be really miserable.

These officials of about three grades, whether they are high or not, and whether they are low or not, take them as models, and they are just the right size. Therefore, what they are most afraid of is that Taiwan will take them as a model, and every new dynasty must show how honest and honest it is, and then the past dynasties are all corrupt and corrupt, how miserable it is. Therefore, it is necessary to kill some high-ranking officials of the old dynasty as typical people, so that they can really eliminate these guys.

And the people have also seen that the new dynasty attaches great importance to anti-corruption, so that they can support the new dynasty! This is also the importance of a tree model, and what they are most worried about is that Wang Guorui will use it as a tree model.

"Our Lord Zhou Chen said, please bring the gifts back. Who are you, we Lord Zhou Chen also have an account book in our hearts, and what good and bad things you have done on weekdays, then we have also recorded them in our hearts. Next, as long as you can figure it out for yourself, you can do it yourself. However, at present, our Lord Wang is going to fight against the enemy, so you should stand on the last shift at your work and wait for the arrival of the new era. When the time comes, as long as you can behave well at this time and work diligently, you will also be able to obtain the forgiveness of our lord and the forgiveness of the people. ”

Hearing Zhou Chen's people say this, everyone also left one after another, obviously preoccupied. They heard the so-called "stand on the last shift", and they obviously knew that it was impossible for them to become officials. However, Zhou Chen didn't let them despair, because as long as they could stand on the last shift well, they could still retire with a soft landing. Now these low-level officials do not dare to ask for any promotions and fortunes, and they only hope for a safe "soft landing" and everything will be fine. Taiwan's determination to clean up corrupt officials is very huge, and what they are most afraid of is that Taiwan will clean it up. (To be continued......)
