Soon, Wang Guorui also telegraphed to Cixi that on the day Cixi launched the coup, Cixi appointed Wang Guorui as the minister of Nanyang, and Wang Guorui publicly supported Cixi. Anyway, they have reached a dirty agreement, Wang Guorui has already sold Guangxu.

"Governor Wang, I think it would be better for us to send ministers to each other? After all, our court also has to communicate with you, Governor Wang, otherwise we really can't communicate effectively, so we might as well send ministers to each other, and then we can communicate with each other in time when there is something in the future! Li Lianying said.

Wang Guorui immediately corrected and said: "What kind of envoys are sent to each other, as if we are different countries. ”

Wang Guorui immediately corrected Li Lianying's statement, that is, the two sides cannot send ministers to each other, after all, sending ministers to each other is an act between countries, and Wang Guorui is a "courtier" of the Qing Dynasty! Therefore, the argument of sending ministers to each other is untenable.

Although Wang Guorui is reluctant to admit it, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is the only legitimate government in this era after all, and even this statement is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If you rashly set up your own country, then entering the mainland at that time will be an invasion, and this will not be fun. Therefore, Wang Guorui must defend his ideas of internal contradictions in China, add disgust to foreign devils, and make himself easily accepted by the people. After all, the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they are already orthodox in the hearts of the people. Therefore, Wang Guorui must maintain his image that Taiwan is China's territory, so that Taiwan's seizure of central power in the future, that is, internal internal struggle, is not foreign aggression. Otherwise, once it is characterized as a foreign invasion, then the foreign devils will not let go of this opportunity to interfere, and even the people in China will not support themselves.

"So what do we do? We've got to talk to each other, or it's hard for both of us! Li Lianying said.

Wang Guorui is also pondering. I really should have more exchanges with the Manchu central government. After all, the two sides have not fallen out at present, and they still have to communicate. In the future, we must also communicate more, so that we can get more benefits for ourselves and the mainland government. And why China and foreign countries send each other permanent envoys is actually to strengthen exchanges between the two sides, and then to maintain the relationship between the two sides. And this Wang Guorui should indeed set up a fixed institution on the mainland, otherwise it will not be suitable for long-term continuation of this kind of thing that needs to be exchanged in the future.

Just like this time. The two sides do not have permanent institutions, so Li Lianying must come to Taiwan in person, which is really inconvenient. Although there was a telegraph, after all, the telegraph did not have a close personal communication relationship with each other, so this long-term overseas organization still had to have it. In the future, Wang Guorui will inevitably have to communicate with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, after all, the two sides have not completely fallen out now, so naturally there will be no war relations. Therefore, the relationship between Wang Guorui and the Manchu Qing is very complicated now, and they are future enemies, but they also have to cooperate in some aspects. Even if the international community knows that they are enemies in the future, as long as they do not become enemies. That means we can work with each other. There is no eternal friendship and hatred between nations, only eternal interests. Although there will inevitably be a war between the two sides that will determine the fate of both sides in the future, there will inevitably be a certain amount of exchanges and cooperation before that, and this is the complexity of diplomacy.

"In this way, I will set up an office of the Taiwan Office in Beijing, which will be based in Beijing. And you all set up an office in Taiwan, and then you are stationed in Taipei for a long time. That way we can all communicate with each other. With these two institutions in the future, it will be much easier for us to communicate. What news do you have in the future? It can also be passed on to our Beijing office, and then they will naturally find a way to pass it on to us. And they also have a certain degree of independent decision-making, which can promote the interaction between the two parties. Wang Guorui said.

The so-called Beijing Office and the Taiwan Affairs Office are nothing more than a fig leaf for both sides, and in fact they are also a variant of the legations of the two sides. With these two institutions, the relationship between the two parties is officially established. It's just that the relationship is a little weird.

After Li Lianying left, Wang Guorui took the initiative to say to Liu Feng of the General Intelligence Administration: "Liu Feng, you convey an order to Zhou Chen who is on the mainland, saying that he did a good job in digging the personnel authority of the Beiyang Navy Division last time. Now he is in charge of collecting intelligence on the mainland, and I have officially appointed him as the director of the Taiwan Office in Beijing. And his military rank was promoted to lieutenant colonel. The Beijing Office is under the dual leadership of the General Office of the Governor-General and the General Intelligence Bureau. ”

"Isn't this Beijing Office led by the Liaison Department for Friendship with Foreign Countries?" Liu Feng asked.

Wang Guorui shook his head and said, "No, after all, the mainland and we are both the same country, and it is not suitable to be placed in the diplomatic department." This is a must-have attitude, so it's better to belong to the Office of the Governor's Office. ”

The reason why Wang Guorui appointed an intelligence officer to serve as the director of the Beijing Office is actually because when Zhou Chen dug up the navy of the Beiyang Navy Division last time, his ability to appear was very good, not only very flexible, but also able to organize various relationships reasonably. Since then, he has been in charge of intelligence work on the mainland, and he is a person with good ability. In the future, the Beijing Office is actually a variant of the legation, and in addition to the diplomatic function, the legation also has the function of collecting intelligence.

This Beijing office was also responsible for collecting intelligence, and it was also necessary to communicate with the Manchus. So it's okay to put an intelligence officer in charge, and it's not a special case. And this Zhou Chen's brain is also very flexible, and he is also competent as a foreign affairs officer. What's more, he has a good relationship with the Hongmen Youth Gang on the mainland, and if necessary, he can ask the Hongmen Youth Gang to cooperate, which is also a very necessary focus. In the future, this Beijing office will be an important center for Taiwan to collect intelligence on the mainland, and the Beijing office will be a place for collecting intelligence, and it is impossible for the Manchu Qing Dynasty not to know about it. And this Taiwan office will inevitably become the first important place for the Manchus to understand Taiwan, so as long as the two sides keep their minds to it.

However, on the other side of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a transoceanic telegram was also sent to the Manchu legation in France.

"What? The central center of the imperial court wants to transfer me to Taiwan to serve as the director of the Taiwan office? Yu Geng exclaimed.

Yu Geng didn't expect that he would be transferred by the imperial court from a minister in France to Taiwan as the director of the Taiwan Affairs Office, what the hell is this! You must know that France is one of the top powers, and if you can serve as a minister in France, your status must be not low, and you are all second-class officials in the imperial court. But now he was dragged to Taiwan, a place where birds don't, and it can't be compared with France at all. What's more, Yu Geng hated Wang Guorui very much, he thought that Wang Guorui was a rebel, and he actually practiced local secession in the name of the special administrative region. So this is an out-and-out rebellion for Yu Geng, but now he wants to go to Taiwan to serve as the director of the Taiwan Affairs Office, which is simply the same as they don't look up and look down.

And being an official in the same city with someone you hate, this is simply disgusting to yourself. Yu Geng didn't expect that he would be sent like this, he hadn't had a good life in France, but he was pulled back so quickly.

"This is rising and descending!" Yu Geng smiled bitterly.

In Yu Geng's eyes, this is an out-and-out bright rise and dark fall, from a great power country to a region that does not even have a national identity, this is simply an out-and-out bright rise and dark fall. As an envoy stationed abroad, he has gone from a weak country to a strong country, which is considered a promotion. But from a strong country to a region that doesn't even have a national identity, I'm afraid it is also a demotion to an official.

"Father, you can't say that! Maybe this is the court's reuse of you! You must know that since Taiwan has been separated from our imperial court, if my father can pull them back and become my loyal servants of the Qing Dynasty again, wouldn't this be a great merit? So, Father, why should you be so sad? As long as it can be done well, then the opportunity to wait for the court to reuse it will come! At that time, if you can do this well, you will definitely be able to get the reuse of the imperial court, and at that time you will even have the opportunity to enter the military aircraft department as a minister! A ten-year-old Lori said.

But Yu Geng is not as confident as his daughter, after all, he knows that since the Taiwan represented by Wang Guorui already has a secession party, it will not be easy to return. What's more, Taiwan has soldiers, and the strength of these armies is still very extraordinary, and the navy and army have them, which is simply stronger than the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

You must know that the Manchus are now a large group of parallel soldiers, and they are completely "bear" soldiers with millions of soldiers, and even the Japanese can't beat them. However, Wang Guorui was able to defeat the Japanese army with the weak, and it was obvious which was stronger and which was weak, so everyone knew the strength of both sides in their hearts. Since ancient times, it has been the strong to swallow the weak, but I have never heard of the weak swallowing the strong, and this is a historical proof. Taiwan's obvious strength is stronger than that of the mainland, especially its military strength, so Yu Geng's attempt to persuade Wang Guorui to re-become a loyal minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is simply a fantasy. Could it be that Yu Geng has the eloquence of Su Qin and Zhang Yi, and can casually fool people into loyal ministers again?

And state politics is no longer a matter of one person's words. Even if Wang Guorui wants to continue to be a lackey loyal minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty now, then Wang Guorui's subordinate officials will not agree lightly. (To be continued......)
