Chapter 194: Selling Sisters for Glory
It's early January 1897, and everyone has just finished the New Year, and it's still time for all of Taiwan to be on holiday. However, Wang Guorui was meeting two people, and these two people were Liu Enguan, the former governor of the Lanfang Republic, and his sister.
"Lord Wang! You must help me restore the country, our Lanfang people are under the oppression of the Dutch barbarians, and they can't survive or die. They were enslaved by the Dutch, and they were also wantonly killed by the local natives, so their life was miserable! Therefore, for the sake of the people, I also ask Lord Wang to help me restore the country, so that the people can live a good life! Liu Enguan said.
And Wang Guorui looked at Liu Enguan like this, and he also wanted to vomit for a while. This Liu Enguan is really disgusting, obviously he wants to restore the country, but he still makes a request in the name of all the people in the world. And Wang Guorui had already listened to that Yang Lin's report, and Yang Lin had already reported what kind of virtuous person this Liu Enguan was, so Wang Guorui wouldn't think that he would have anything like a bird at all. So even if this guy recovers, Wang Guorui will not hand over Lan Fang to him, after all, why should he be Yang Bailao!
"Well, although Lanfang is our vassal state of China, we have no necessary obligation to restore the country for you! After all, once the army is dispatched, it needs to consume a lot of military expenses, and it will offend the Westerners for this, I don't think I'm worth it! Wang Guorui said.
Wang Guorui had already planned to help them restore the country in his heart, but because of this disgusting appearance of Liu Enguan before, he wanted to make things difficult for him. Anyway, if you ask me to send troops, I will send troops, then I have no face! What's more, Lan Fang's people won't cherish it at that time, so they must make it difficult, otherwise they really won't cherish it. As for what they will think. That's what Wang Guorui doesn't care about. Anyway, if you don't pay something, then why should Wang Guorui send troops!
"We are willing to pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty every year, come to the dynasty every year, and be willing to be a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty!" Liu Enguan said.
Wang Guorui shook his head and said, "Don't fool me with this, we and the Manchu people. Not all the way! ”
Wang Guorui doesn't care about these tributes every year or something, these things are too empty and have no practical significance. And they also paid tribute to the Manchu Qing Dynasty every year, and they came to the court year after year, not to Wang Guorui, so Wang Guorui would not take it seriously at all. What's more, what can be obtained by paying tribute every year, these things have no meaning at all, and they are not worth much. Wang Guorui is interested in the mineral resources in the Nanyang area, as well as the fertile land there. Able to grow a lot of food.
And Liu Enguan suddenly felt very surprised, he didn't expect that in his eyes, it was already very good to pay tribute every year, didn't the imperial court in China since ancient times want this? But Wang Guorui didn't take it seriously, and even Wang Guorui said that Taiwan and the Manchu Qing Dynasty were not all the way. This made Liu Enguan very surprised, because Wang Guorui was not the governor of Taiwan in the Manchu Qing Dynasty? You must know that even the people in China who know that Taiwan has become de facto independent are just middle and high-level officials. The ordinary people at the bottom do not know that Taiwan has become de facto independent, and high-level foreign officials also know about it, but ordinary foreign people do not know this. Or simply don't have the heart to care about that.
And Liu Enguan has long been dead, and he is not clear about the relationship between Taiwan and the Manchu Qing Central Committee. So he doesn't know how to answer now. What Wang Guorui's Taiwan wants, this makes Liu Enguan very unclear. As for the next, Liu Enguan began to think about what he needed, but he didn't come up with it after thinking about it for a long time.
"Governor Wang, we are willing to send some special products to Taiwan every year, what do you think?" Liu Enguan asked.
And Wang Guorui still shook his head. Apparently not taking it very seriously. How can some local products be compared with so many mineral resources in the South Seas?
"Governor Wang, if Taiwan is willing to help us restore Lanfang, we Lanfang are willing to lease land to Taiwan, and we are willing to open Lanfang's minerals to Taiwanese businessmen for mining." Liu Enguan's sister said.
And Wang Guorui felt a little shocked. This Liu Enguan's sister really hit the nail on the head when she spoke, and she actually saw the key to the matter at a glance. That Liu Enguan has been relying on something like tribute and courtiers, but Liu Enguan's sister is actually very sensible, and is directly willing to lease the land to Taiwan, and then follow the example of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to open up minerals to Taiwan for investment and mining. And this is the thing that really has practical significance, unlike Liu Enguan, who thinks all day long that he can be exchanged for Taiwan to help them restore the country without paying something.
And Liu Enguan and his sister's words, so it is obvious that the judgment is high. Liu Enguan still thinks that the current era is the way it is in the past, and he can directly fool Taiwan with empty gloves and white wolves to help them restore the country. But this Miss Liu already knows that the times have changed, and she will not be able to fool others to help you restore the country without giving something like in the past. Therefore, this Miss Liu is much smarter than Liu Enguan, unlike Liu Enguan's thoughts that are still stuck in the past era.
And Wang Guorui really took a serious look at this Liu Enguan's sister this time, although this Liu Enguan's sister does not have skin like the traditional Han people who are white as beautiful, but they are all wheat-colored skin. After all, I grew up in the Nanyang generation, where it is close to the equator, and the sun is much bigger, how can I have fair skin? And this Liu Enguan's sister is very hot, and she looks very plump, if you want to talk about appearance, she is also one in a million beauties. Even the chest is very full, and the huge breasts almost seem to burst the clothes.
"It is said that women are big-breasted and brainless, it seems that Miss Liu is big-chested and brainless!" Wang Guorui muttered involuntarily.
"Hooligans?" Miss Liu suddenly said with some shame.
When Liu Enguan saw this situation, he immediately began to operate with some flexibility in his brain.
"Lord Wang, as long as you Taiwan are willing to help us restore Lanfang, I am willing to marry my sister to you, so that we are all a family, and it is normal for you to help us restore the country!" Liu Enguan said.
Liu Enguan finally understood that if he didn't pay something, then I'm afraid Wang Guorui would not help them return to the country. Therefore, Liu Enguan also took the initiative to put forward this condition, willing to give his sister to Wang Guorui, and then let Wang Guorui help him restore the country. Anyway, for the sake of their Liu family's foundation, sacrificing a woman is nothing. After all, like their big families in the past, their daughters had to pay for the family and marry other families according to the family's wishes for marriage. And Liu Enguan doesn't think this is anything, anyway, as long as his Liu family can restore the country, it won't be a problem. So Liu Enguan chose to sacrifice his sister, and then asked Wang Guorui to promise to restore the country for them.
And just now, Liu Enguan saw that Wang Guorui was still quite satisfied with his sister, so Liu Enguan moved this idea. Anyway, his sister is also a beauty, and Wang Guorui was very satisfied just now, so there is a basis for marriage. Liu Enguan hopes to be able to rely on Wang Guorui's backer, and then be able to get Wang Guorui's help. Liu Enguan also knew that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was impossible to rely on, so he chose to find Wang Guorui as a backer, so that he could sit firmly in the position of Lanfang's chief in the future!
And when Wang Guorui heard this, he also felt a little excited, after all, Liu Enguan's sister is also a beauty, and she is also a woman with "big breasts and brains", not a vase, so there is no problem with accepting them. Therefore, Wang Guorui is also willing to accept it.
"Brother, why do you have to do this? As long as we lease the land and allow the mine, why ......," Liu Enguan's sister said with some anxiety.
Wang Guorui immediately interrupted and said, "That's right, that's the condition." You don't have to say anything else, and you have to be my woman, so that you can be the basis for the next discussion. If you don't want to be my woman, then there is no need to say much about Lan Fang's restoration! ”
And Liu Enguan's sister hesitated for a while, she didn't expect Wang Guorui to climb down the pole and propose that she had to be his woman. Now she didn't know what to say, she thought that as long as she gave away the leased land and allowed mining, she would be fine, but now that it had fallen into this situation, he was very speechless.
In fact, this Miss Liu is right, even if Liu Enguan doesn't say anything about marriage, Wang Guorui will choose to help them return to the country. But since Liu Enguan took the initiative to bring it up, why didn't Wang Guorui climb the pole? Liu Enguan is selling his sister for glory, since Wang Guorui has the opportunity to eat a delicious meal, why should he refuse?
"Miss Liu, don't you want to be my woman? If you don't want to, then the next restoration will not need to be said. Wang Guorui said.
But Liu Enguan immediately said: "Lord Wang, I will definitely convince my sister, after all, the eldest brother is like a father, and I can make the decision about his marriage!" ”
And hearing that Liu Enguan was so anxious to sell his sister for glory, what else could Wang Guorui say, he could only let him take the initiative to persuade his sister. Anyway, Wang Guorui is not afraid that they will not agree, after all, it is in his own hands to take the initiative. And since there is Liu Enguan, the elder brother, who is in charge, then he can inevitably get this Miss Liu, after all, the eldest brother is like a father, and the parents of ancient women can make decisions about marriage, and their children have to agree.
