"Wang Zhixian, this time you helped the Qing Dynasty drive out the Japanese Japanese invaders, and you have a lot of credit. I think the emperor and the queen mother will definitely be rewarded, what are you going to do next? Li Jingfang asked.

And Wang Guorui said: "What else can I do? As the leader of Taiwan's resistance to Japan, I naturally have to think about Taiwan's resistance to Japan! ”

And Li Jingfang immediately said: "In this case, the anti-Japanese resistance has ended, and the Japanese have been driven away, so we should return to the court and officially accept the court's reward!" The emperor has a decree! ”

Li Jingfang took out a holy decree, that is, I don't know what it means to be the Empress Dowager Cixi or Emperor Guangxu, but I thought of Li Hongzhang and Li Jingfang's faction, which should be the meaning of the Empress Dowager Cixi. In short, he also used this holy decree to make an arrangement for Wang Guorui, which can be regarded as Wang Guorui's reward for taking back Taiwan. But Wang Guorui already has an idea, that is, to divide Taiwan, so that he can be regarded as taking Taiwan into his own pocket. But this Manchu Central Court actually issued a holy decree to himself, which obviously made Wang Guorui very unhappy.

"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: 'Wang Guorui, the county governor of Hsinchu, Taiwan, is loyal to the country, and has recovered Taiwan for the imperial court, and is specially named the prefect of Yangzhou."

Li Jingfang continued: "Wang Zhixian, thank you! Yangzhou is a very wealthy place, it is a fat difference! Therefore, this is the grace of the emperor and the queen mother to you, and I hope that you can be loyal to the emperor and the queen mother in the future, and continue to serve my Qing Dynasty. ”

"Hahahaha......" Wang Guorui laughed.

Wang Guorui is really speechless, this holy decree actually has such a meaning, transferring Wang Guorui to Yangzhou as the prefect? Although Yangzhou is a very wealthy place, there are many salt merchants, as long as you are an official in Yangzhou for a few years, you will be completely rich. But is this Wang Guorui's idea? And this imperial court is really stupid, now he has the territory of a province and tens of thousands of powerful troops, but the imperial court just gave itself a prefect and wanted to send himself away, this is simply stupid.

"It's a fool every year, and there are a lot of them this year. What if I don't go! Wang Guorui suddenly asked sternly.

And Li Jingfang asked: "Do you want to rebel?" ”

"Hehe, I just wanted to ask you. Why do you decree to me? Wang Guorui asked.

"Just because we are the Qing court, as a citizen of the Qing Dynasty, you should obey the emperor's holy decree!" Li Jingfang said.

"However, I am now Taiwanese, and whether Taiwan is the territory of the Qing Dynasty is still a question? You ceded Taiwan at the beginning, don't you know? This is the treaty you signed with the Japanese in person, have you forgotten it? Wang Guorui asked.

"Isn't the Wako back now?" Li Jingfang asked pretending to be stupid.

"The treaty signed by Taiwan and Japan was not signed in your capacity as the central court of the Qing Dynasty, but in the name of the Taiwan region. And the issue of Taiwan's future status in the treaty. It is up to Taiwan to decide for itself. In other words, we can do whatever we want in Taiwan now, and your central court will not be able to influence us. We Taiwanese have long since lost the nationality of the so-called Qing Dynasty, so why do you order us? Wang Guorui snorted.

And Li Jingfang's face was dark, how could he, as a diplomat, not know this? He was just pretending to be stupid just now, hoping that Wang Guorui didn't understand the twists and turns. But Wang Guorui understood the twists and turns very well, and pointed it out directly. The Manchu central court was not qualified to order Taiwan. Because Taiwan's current status is not clear, it is natural that it cannot be accurately divided. And Taiwan is like an independent country. This is because Taiwan has the right to determine its own future development prospects. Therefore, Wang Guorui can choose to rejoin the Manchu Qing Dynasty, or simply directly establish himself as a country, which makes sense from the perspective of international law.

And the Manchu Qing Dynasty now wants to use a Yangzhou prefect to buy themselves, this is simply too stupid. Once Wang Guorui arrives on the mainland, I'm afraid it will be up to them to clean it up. At that time, although it seems to be a Yangzhou prefect. But in fact, people can remove themselves from their positions at any time, which is completely rising and falling. Although Wang Guorui was a prefect of Taiwan before, but now that Wang Guorui's status is different, is it necessary for him to give up his position as the leader of Taiwan and become a small prefect?

"Li Jingfang. You and the court behind you, you all have to set your attitude right for me. Now Taiwan is no longer the Taiwan that you used to cede at will. Since the day you ceded Taiwan, Taiwan is no longer the territory of your Qing Dynasty, and we are now able to have this day because we have relied on our own strength to win it, and it has nothing to do with you at all. Therefore, I can now decide the fate of Taiwan by myself, and your court has no control over it. As for whether we rejoin the Qing Dynasty, in what form, or simply establish ourselves as a country, it is okay. When the time comes, you will see that it will be done for yourself! Wang Guorui said.

And Li Jingfang immediately said angrily: "You want to rebel? Don't you know that if you become a thief, you will be spurned by the world, and you will also affect your family! ”

"Rebellion? Hmph, you don't deserve to say the word rebellion to me, because our Taiwan is no longer the territory of your Qing Dynasty! As for whether you have the ability or not, then it depends on how your Qing army is! Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui is not worried about the Manchu Qing coming back to attack, the kind of army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they will clean up as much as they want when they come to the army. The Manchus had millions of troops, but their strength was very poor, and they didn't need to be expected to beat themselves. They can't even beat the Japanese, and if they can break the head of the Japanese and bleed, they will naturally compare. If they dare to come, then I am afraid that they will not come back at all. Their Beiyang naval division has been destroyed, and there is no navy left. If they dare to come, then without the cover of the navy, they can be cleaned up properly, and they can be easily abolished.

Therefore, with the level of one million "bear" soldiers on the Manchu Continent, Wang Guorui doesn't have to be afraid of anything at all. Because Wang Guorui has tens of thousands of troops under his command, even the so-called army of the British Empire does not dare to say that it can be 100% victorious, after all, they must have more than ten times the number of people to dare to fight against Wang Guorui's army. After all, the firepower of Wang Guorui's army is much stronger than theirs, so the British don't dare to send troops to provoke them, and there is no need to provoke them.

Then, Wang Guorui snatched the holy decree in Li Jingfang's hand and hung it on the wall. And Li Jingfang didn't know what Wang Guorui wanted to do, but Wang Guorui took out a pistol and aimed it at the so-called holy decree.

"Bang bang bang!"

Wang Guorui fired four shots at this so-called holy decree in a row, and four holes immediately appeared on the holy decree, and the holy decree was destroyed by Wang Guorui. And Li Jingfang looked at this scene and couldn't believe it. Wang Guorui actually fired a few shots at the holy decree, so that the holy decree was shattered. You must know that this is the holy decree of the imperial court, and it is the highest order document of the central imperial court. Even ordinary people are not qualified to accept the holy decree, and those who can receive the holy decree are of very high status, and after receiving the holy decree, they all have to make a good offering, and then treat it as a family heirloom, if it is damaged, it is a sin.

But when Wang Guorui received this holy decree, not only did he not have any intention of cherishing it, but he also fired several shots at the holy decree in a row. In Li Jingfang's eyes, anyone who receives orders should be grateful. But Wang Guorui didn't appreciate it, and insulted the holy decree like this, which is simply rampant. This situation is no longer an ordinary anti-thief, and even this is a great contempt for the imperial court, and the Manchu court is not taken into account at all, and it is more rampant than countless anti-thieves.

"Li Jingfang, this is also my attitude towards the imperial court, you can think about it yourself! I'm not interested in the imperial court! If you want to send troops, then you can come, I want to see if your Qing army has grown? Wang Guorui said.

"You wait for me! When the time comes, the court will definitely not let you go! Li Jingfang said angrily.

And Li Jingfang immediately brushed his sleeves away, obviously leaving. And Zheng Hong, who heard the gunshots from the backyard, came to the front, and looked at the holy decree that had been punched a few holes in the wall, and immediately knew what it meant. The reason why Zheng Hong followed Wang Guorui was that he hoped that Wang Guorui would be able to rebel and then overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty. If Wang Guorui was a loyal minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, An Zhenghong would also leave him. So now Wang Guorui has made a few holes in the holy decree, which can be regarded as an insult to the holy decree, or even an insult to the imperial power, which is tantamount to a complete break with the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Now that Wang Guorui and the Manchu Qing have completely broken up, Zheng Hong is also relieved. If Wang Guorui is unwilling to oppose the Qing Dynasty, then Zheng Hong really doesn't know what to do. After all, she has already given her body to Wang Guorui, so if Wang Guorui becomes a loyal minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the future, then it will not be fun. So now Wang Guorui has made a few holes in the holy decree, which means that Wang Guorui will not be able to reconcile with the Manchu court at all, and sooner or later a decisive battle will break out, but this decisive battle will be sooner or later.

As long as Wang Guorui is willing to oppose the Qing Dynasty, then Zheng Hong is 100% supportive, after all, Zheng Hong's ancestors have always been anti-Qing, if he is not anti-Qing, then he is really ashamed of his ancestors. (To be continued......)
