After many consultations and negotiations with Li Hongzhang, Wang Guorui finally reached an agreement with the Manchu mainland government, that is, the Manchu Qing gave the greatest concession under the condition of ensuring that Taiwan was not independent, and when the treaty was signed, Wang Guorui's subordinates and some fathers and elders in Taiwan also began to announce the relevant news together.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have signed a contract with the mainland court as the leader of Taiwan, and we will return to the Qing Dynasty and exist as a special administrative region." Wang Guorui said.

"But my lord, if the imperial court gives us Taiwan ...... again," someone asked.

Although this did not say anything, it also represented the voice of many people, because the mainland government did not hesitate to cede Taiwan, which has made many people extremely sad. Later, the mainland government also began to order Taiwan to give up resistance, which is simply absurd when Taiwan has achieved a huge advantage. Therefore, many people are disappointed in the mainland government, and naturally do not want to listen to the dispatch of the mainland government. Now that I have heard that I have returned to the control of the mainland government, this obviously makes many people feel a little worried.

"You can rest assured that we in Taiwan are a special administrative region. However, the imperial court of our special administrative region will not send officials to administer it, we have independent legislative, executive, and judicial powers, and we also have certain diplomatic rights, and we have the right to form an army for self-defense, and the leader of Taiwan will be called the governor of Taiwan, which will be chosen by our own people, and the imperial court will not send people to serve as it. We just need to maintain sending one tael of silver to the central court every year, even if we pay taxes. ”

And hearing that Taiwan can have so many rights makes everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Because of these rights, Taiwan will no longer be the Taiwan of the past, but will be an independent Taiwan. At that time, although Taiwan was not truly independent, it was still a special administrative region that was administratively independent and self-administering. Although Taiwan appeared to be under the control of the Manchu central government, it was not actually able to get the Manchu central government to control it. It's a state of complete separation.

In fact, such a plan is satisfactory to many people. After all, everyone has lived as Chinese since childhood, and they all think that self-reliance is a rebellious act. However, they are also worried that if the imperial court gives up on them again, or uses their interests as bargaining chips to steal peace, this will definitely make the Taiwanese very unhappy. Therefore, the Taiwanese are very satisfied with this special administrative region, and in this way they can not only gain the right to be independent and self-reliant. It can also be charged with separatism. Therefore, the formulation of this special administrative region is based on the situation between the two, and it is still quite satisfactory.

"And this agreement between us and the imperial court, we belong to a secret agreement, so don't say it. If you say it, there will be endless troubles, so it's okay for all of us to understand it in our hearts. Wang Guorui said.

Although Wang Guorui and Li Hongzhang signed this contract on the Taiwan Special Administrative Region, the signing of this treaty was a secret treaty, not a public signing. After that, neither side will make it public, and it will be done in secret. And the Manchu government was able to maintain the last shred of face. Not to be damaged too strictly. As for Wang Guorui, he is also worried that if he signs the agreement of the Taiwan Special Administrative Region and openly implements it, then if those mainland governors also follow suit, then the land of China will face a huge crisis of national separatism. At that time, the contradictions between the governors and the central authorities became public, and the governors and governors in various localities would inevitably fall into a state of chaos. Although Wang Guorui was very uninterested in the Manchus, he had to admit that the Manchus were currently the only organization suitable for the central government.

Once there is no coordination and suppression by the Manchu government, the local governors will inevitably set off a wave of independence one by one. Therefore, in order for the country to be unified and not openly divided, Wang Guorui asked foreigners to come over and take advantage of the opportunity. He could only temporarily maintain the majesty of the Manchus, so that the Manchus could have enough prestige to overpower the local governors. This is not that Wang Guorui is a lackey of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Rather, it is because he must enable the motherland to achieve nominal reunification and not be divided. Once there is an open split, then the countries of the world will take the opportunity to come and stir up trouble.

At least, for the time being, Wang Guorui still hopes that the country can be reunified, and his interests are temporarily the same as those of the Manchus. He also didn't want the country to be openly divided, so he agreed with Li Hongzhang. chose to sign this treaty in secret, and it will not be made public. In this way, the governors of the mainland will not openly demand the establishment of more special administrative regions, and this will also prevent the country from openly splitting, which can also solve this problem very well. As long as the country is not divided, it is very difficult for foreigners to have the opportunity to intervene.

And Wang Guorui was later the governor of Taiwan. He would rule Taiwan as a Manchu province for the time being, and then gradually begin to encroach on the Manchus in the interior. And with the status of this Chinese province, it will be much easier to seize the central power in the future, so as not to be interfered by foreign countries.

And Wang Guorui did not think about it, immediately set up troops to attack the mainland, and then seize the central power. However, the consequence of this is that he must compromise with those traditional conservative forces, because Wang Guorui does not have many civilian officials at present, at most some military officers. Although Wang Guorui has an army, those civilian officials are also very important. If there are no civil officials, then it is necessary to retain the original Manchu officials, and then let those old forces retain and continue to exert their influence in the new government. At that time, although Wang Guorui established a new dynasty, it was a change from the previous dynasties.

Therefore, Wang Guorui must first stay and develop for a few years, and only when he has cultivated his "internal strength" can he be able to open up. Otherwise, if there are no qualified government officials to replace those who are old-fashioned, I am afraid that they will not be able to carry out the reform of the country's social system. If the state and social system cannot be reformed, it is tantamount to changing the soup without changing the medicine, and Wang Guorui will not be able to establish a new dynasty, and it may not take many years to return to the old path of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. This can be said to be very tragic, and it is an outcome that must be avoided completely.

"Okay, that's how our Taiwan Special Administrative Region will be established. However, we must elect a Taiwanese governor who can lead everyone to a happy life, so that we can lead everyone to live a good life together! Therefore, please elect a meritocracy to lead the people of Taiwan to prosperity together. Wang Guorui said.

Immediately, someone said very "sincerely": "Lord Wang, I think you must be the governor of Taiwan?" If it weren't for you, then we would all be reduced to a colony of the Japanese invaders, and we would all become slaves of the Japanese invaders. Therefore, Lord Wang, you are very kind to our Taiwan, who else can serve as the governor of Taiwan? ”

"Yes, yes, Lord Wang, you don't serve as a person, there is no more suitable person!" Everyone said together.

The current situation, everyone is lice in the monk's head, obviously. Wang Guorui has the military power in Taiwan, and if anyone wants to serve as the governor of Taiwan, it must be agreed by him. Even if you take a step back, if Wang Guorui is not right, then more than two million people in Taiwan will spray to death the person who grabbed the position. Therefore, in this case, it is better to directly praise Wang Guorui as the governor, so that you may be able to obtain a "dragon merit"!

However, Wang Guorui immediately said: "Hey, I, the leader of Taiwan's anti-Japanese resistance, is only a temporary responsibility, and I can't take it seriously." Moreover, this anti-Japanese resistance is the result of the joint efforts of more than 2 million people in Taiwan. ”

And everyone listened to Wang Guorui's "fake" words, and obviously understood the meaning. Since ancient times, it has been necessary to "ask for three resignations" to be able to become an emperor, and this time Wang Guorui obviously has to carry out "three invitations and three resignations" to be able to ascend the throne. And everyone understood this truth, so they immediately began to continue.

"Lord Wang, without you, we would not be able to defeat the Japanese army. What's more, your prestige in our Taiwan is also very sufficient, even if one person has one vote, you will be elected! So please don't be modest, you are the pillar of our Taiwan! Someone said again.

Wang Guorui said again: "I'm not Taiwanese!" ”

"Lord Wang's words are wrong, it doesn't matter if he is Taiwanese or not. Even if you don't grow up in Taiwan, you are also from Fujian. The vast majority of us Taiwanese have migrated from Fujian, which has been a family since ancient times. What's more, it was just established as a province nine years ago, and it was all under Fujian before, so there is no problem with Taiwan's Fujian family. What's more, if we are pushing up, aren't we Fujian people also migrating from the north? So the Taiwanese do not have a purebred native at all. Unless, are you willing to let those barbarians of the Gaoshan clan serve as the governor of Taiwan? ”

And this guy's words immediately solved the theoretical basis that Wang Guorui is not Taiwanese but serves as the governor of Taiwan, so it is not a problem for Wang Guorui, a Fujianese, to serve as the governor of Taiwan.

"Well, since everyone is willing to let me carry this burden, then I will reluctantly pick it up! However, if there are more powerful talents in the future, then I will definitely abdicate and make way for Xian! Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui said this, he made himself feel disgusted, if he dared to be virtuous at that time, then other "virtuous talents" must also have the courage to be them, after all, Taiwan's army is under Wang Guorui's control! (To be continued......)
