"Governor Wang, I order that you must have your security department hand over the citizens of our country to us, and then the staff of our consulate will send them back to the country." The British consul said.

But Wang Guorui immediately said; "Mr. Consul, you make it clear to me that this is my place. This is the Governor-General's Mansion of Taiwan, the official residence of me, the Governor-General of Taiwan, not your consulate. So, don't spray me here, I won't listen to you! If you want to say anything, you can submit the paperwork directly to our Liaison Office for Friendship with Foreign Countries and they will take care of it. Also, the British man you mentioned who killed our traffic policeman in Taiwan, we will consider punishing him, and it has nothing to do with you British. ”

"We, the British Empire, have signed a treaty with you, China, and our British Empire has consular jurisdiction in China, and the citizens of our country have broken the law with you, and they cannot be tried by your laws, but must be handed over to our consuls of the British Empire for punishment, and your Chinese laws cannot be punished, understand? This is the bottom line of our British Empire, and consular jurisdiction cannot be regarded as a useless provision. ”

The British consul also felt a lot of pressure in his heart, because Taiwan has actually abolished some unequal treaties through various means. For example, what is the power of customs supervision, and at present the British do not have the right to supervise Taiwan's customs, because they know that supervision is useless, so the power of customs supervision is already in name only. And there are many unequal treaties they signed with the Manchus, which have also been hollowed out by various means. Therefore, the British actually do not have many unequal provisions in Taiwan that can be enforced. If Wang Guorui hadn't been able to become the leader of the central government, he would have publicly abolished these unequal treaties a long time ago.

Because many articles also exist in name only, this makes the British consul feel that "Ya Pear" is big. Other economic provisions have been extinct. And the last one is consular jurisdiction. The two sides had not been in direct contact with the consular jurisdiction before, and the British had not committed any crime in Taiwan before, so naturally this article was temporarily circumvented by both Taiwan and the United Kingdom. The British did not break the law, so naturally the conflict of this article was not too big, and everyone did not take the initiative to mention this article. But now there are British people who not only attack the police, but also kill the traffic police, which is obviously killing them.

In this case. The provision of consular jurisdiction cannot be left unattended. Because if the rules of consular jurisdiction are followed, the Englishman is likely to be sent back to England, and then the specific punishment is up to the British themselves. Even. Whether there will be penalties or not is also a question. There wasn't much internet in this era, so once the Englishman returned home, they might just let him go. There will be no penalty. And this process is difficult for foreigners to know. Chinese separated by thousands of mountains and rivers naturally cannot know. So, this is all an unknown thing. What's more, China has also had a tradition of killing people to pay off debts since ancient times, and I am afraid that countless people are now thinking about this matter and want to see how Taiwan will deal with this matter!

This is even related to the final conflict of consular jurisdiction, and the British will not allow the loss of consular jurisdiction, otherwise the provisions signed by the British and China will completely lose their effect in Taiwan. This is related to the face of Britain, and they naturally refuse to give up. In this kind of international affairs, face is often more important than actual interests. If you don't have a face, then countless people will come to kick your nose and face. Therefore, the British refused to give up this consular jurisdiction, which was a matter of preserving the last pitiful face of the British.

"Lord Wang. There are many people outside who come to the Governor's Palace to petition, hoping that the murderer can be severely punished! A guard from the Governor's Palace said.

And this news once again made everyone feel that the matter was serious.

"What an honor it is for us in Taiwan to defeat the Japanese and even defeat Spain, and force the Netherlands to marry the queen. We cannot allow the British to kill with us with impunity, so we want the perpetrators to be severely punished. ”

"Severely punish murderers, severely punish murderers"......

A large number of people soon gathered outside the Governor's Palace, and they all began to petition, hoping that Wang Guorui could severely punish the murderer. At present, Taiwan has fought several wars in a row, not only defeated the Japanese, but also defeated the Spaniards, defeated the Dutch, and even forced the Netherlands to marry the queen and kiss her. Because of the successive defeats of foreigners, and the fact that there are still two countries that are Westerners, this makes the people of Taiwan feel honored. And the national honor is based on the strength of the country, not on the compromise. So now that the war has passed, Taiwan has erected its own national dignity. And many foreigners come to Taiwan, and they follow the rules. Although there are some minor problems, they are not intentional, they are not familiar with the laws here, so they have caused some misunderstandings, and this problem is not big.

But this time it was different, this time the British was found to be driving in the wrong direction, not only refused to pay the fine, but the traffic police detained the car in accordance with the regulations, and when the time came, he actually shot and killed the traffic policeman. This is a law enforcer, and it is an intentional homicide. Intentional homicide from behind is a huge crime. This is unforgivable, because this has gone beyond not being familiar with the law here, so it has caused some misunderstandings. And even Britain can't be a street raider and kill people, right? So, this is unforgivable and makes everyone angry.

And this British's behavior is tantamount to touching the painful nerve in the hearts of Taiwanese Chinese again. Originally, because they fought several wars, it seemed that the Chinese in Taiwan had gained dignity and risen up. But now someone dares to kill someone in the street, which makes them all feel that this time it seems to be a big problem! In this way, everyone feels that the rise of the Chinese in the past and the improvement of the status of the Chinese feel that it is all an illusion, and it is just an illusion. And in order to prove whether this is an illusion, they also took the initiative to come over to petition, hoping that Wang Guorui would severely punish foreigners who killed people. As long as Wang Guorui can severely punish foreigners, it means that the status of the Ming people has improved. However, if Wang Guorui refuses to severely punish foreigners and instead wants to send them back to China, then I am afraid that the status of the Chinese is still very low. In this way, Wang Guorui will definitely lose the hearts of the people.

And when the British consul saw this, his heart trembled. Although he forced himself to keep himself calm, he suddenly realized that no matter how calm he was, it was in vain. Because he seems to see, he sees that the Chinese are not numb, and he sees that the Chinese are no longer the insensitive Chinese. They began to care about their country, about the fate of their nation, and about their compatriots. When their compatriots were killed, they all took the initiative to come to help and do their best to help their compatriots get justice.

The British consul knew that China's national consciousness had begun to truly awaken, and it would not be like in the past, when it was not about its own affairs, and it looked like it was not about national affairs. And now the Chinese are obviously fighting for their own country and nation, they feel the sovereignty of the country, the dignity of the nation, and they will never allow the loss of power and humiliation of the country in the past. And the Chinese in Taiwan have begun to wake up.

Once a huge country with a population of 40,000 begins to awaken, the power that erupts is immense. This made the British consul's heart tremble, because if such a huge country can be united, then they all work together to build their own country, and then they work together to fight for the prosperity of the country, to throw their heads and spill their blood, then such a country, who can stop it?

"Can we, the British Empire, conquer such a country?" Britain thought with trembling hands.

Once this kind of country with a population of 40,000 awakens, no country on the earth can conquer them, because such a country with a huge population can not be conquered by force. How many people are in the British, but there are only tens of millions of them. The reason why China is bullied is not because foreigners are strong, but because the Chinese are insensitive, they do not care about the fate of their own country and nation, and most people only care about themselves and rarely care about their own national future. And every time the Manchu court loses a battle, they are not very enthusiastic, as if someone else's family has lost a battle. Even they don't dare to resist, they don't dare to rebel against their fate, they just surrender to their fate.

However, now they will actually fight for their own destiny and for the dignity of their country and nation. They can unite together to fight with foreigners for the sake of an ordinary policeman, instead of the original posture of hanging up without caring about themselves. They have learned to care for their fellow citizens, they have learned to care about the dignity of their country, and they are no longer so insensitive, and in such a situation, will the British be able to defeat such a country? Can the British repeat the situation when tens of thousands of troops conquered a huge country? I'm afraid that the current British consul, or even anyone in the UK, will not believe this result.

"It's terrible, is our British Empire about to have a huge adversary? Moreover, such a huge country with a population of 40,000 cannot be defeated by our British Empire! The British consul thought bitterly. (To be continued......)
