"Lord Wang, will they agree? If they don't agree, then are we really going to use force? Li Guodong, commander of the Guards Division, asked.

Wang Guorui said: "I don't know, I don't know if Yuan Shikai will agree." But I hope he can still agree, otherwise once we attack the city, it will be us Chinese who will suffer. So if Yuan Shikai is willing to agree, then I also said that I am willing to give him some preferential conditions. ”

"Lord Wang, some officials in Jinan City have sent representatives over, hoping to meet Lord Wang in person!" Someone immediately said.

"Oh? Let them in! Wang Guorui said.

Soon, some low-level officials in Shandong also came out. However, they looked very embarrassed, and there was still a lot of dust on their bodies, and Wang Guorui probably knew how they came out, which was nothing more than drilling a dog hole. This kind of dog hole can drill a person, but it can't get a large number of troops in, let alone bring equipment in, so it is impossible to attack through the dog hole.

"Lord Wang, we are representatives sent by officials at all levels in Shandong, and we hope to meet with Lord Wang!" Someone immediately said.

And Wang Guorui replied: "I am also Wang Guorui!" ”

"Oh, Lord Wang's reputation is thunderous, we ......," someone immediately said.

"Getting to the point!" Wang Guorui immediately said angrily, if everyone is so, then where is the time to do things?

"Okay, Lord Wang, let me introduce myself first, I am the left senator of the Yamen of the Shandong political envoy, and my name is Song Na. I am the political envoy of Fengshan Province to meet with you, Lord Wang, and I hope to discuss the surrender with you, Lord Wang. We want to know that if we take refuge in Lord Wang, will we be held accountable by Lord Wang? Also, what will Lord Wang do with us Shandong officials? ”

This Song Na is not ambiguous, and straightforwardly picks out the key points of the problem. That is how Wang Guorui will treat these former Shandong officials after they surrender. This is also to surrender and negotiate conditions, hoping to get enough benefits for yourself. Anyway, the Taiwanese army has already begun to cross the Yellow River, maybe when they will be able to go to the capital to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and at that time the world will be surnamed Wang. Therefore, it is a good thing for them to take refuge as soon as possible, so that they can get better preferential treatment!

"Well, now that you're here. Then I'll talk about it. After we come, we will re-examine the past court officials. The past Shandong officials of our team will be divided into three types. The first type is corrupt officials. The second type is an official with good moral character but poor ability. And the last type is the official with good moral character and strong ability. We will deal with these three types of officials separately. Wang Guorui said.

And that Song Na's face immediately changed, obviously because he knew that he and the vast majority of Shandong officials were the "first type", that is, those corrupt officials. He immediately looked at Wang Guorui expectantly, hoping that Wang Guorui would say how to deal with these officials.

And Wang Guorui's bad taste suddenly came. He immediately said: "For the third type of honest and capable officials, we will reuse them, and instead of removing them from their posts and demoting them, we will promote them." As for the second type of officials with good moral character and weak ability, we will let them go to some relatively idle positions, mainly in public institutions. Generally, it is in schools at all levels and in literary and artistic groups. As for the first one......"

Wang Guorui paused suddenly, and that Song Na felt like a cat scratching in his heart. Apparently I don't know how the other party will deal with it.

"The first type of corrupt officials, we will resolutely remove from officialdom. Of course. If they are willing to surrender on their own initiative, then we will not pursue those mistakes before surrendering. I allow them to leave with all kinds of wealth, and then it's up to them to decide what they want to live, and they're all going to be ordinary Chinese citizens. However, in the future, you must abide by the law, and you can't continue to break the law. Wang Guorui said.

After Wang Guorui said this condition. That Song Na's face immediately turned green, because they were going to lose power, and the wild fat catfish could take away the wealth of the past. But once they lose power, will they be able to keep their wealth? Although they seem to be able to take their wealth with them, they do not have it clean. If there is no protection of power, I am afraid that it will not be far from being lost. So when they heard that they would be cleared out of the officialdom, they were already very hesitant in their hearts.

Wang Guorui saw their hesitation, and immediately continued: "Of course, punish the former and save the future, although the fathers made mistakes. But we still won't be involved in their juniors, and we can arrange for them to work. For example, following my father's generation as an official is experienced, so we can give priority to serving in our central organs in Taiwan. ”

"Assigned to a central agency?" People obviously don't understand what this means.

However, these officials also roughly understood that although Wang Guorui cleaned up these corrupt officials and left the officialdom, he did not block the door, and he could still arrange for their descendants to serve in Taiwan's central institutions. This relieved them, because their descendants can continue to be officials, and they are still qualified to continue to hold power. As long as his son has the power, it is no different from his own control, and the security of wealth can be guaranteed at that time.

"Our central institutions are pretty good, although they are all divided into officials at all levels. But at the bottom level, every clerk is a deputy chief clerk and a chief clerk, and in the words of the past, they are all nine rank officials. Generally speaking, it doesn't take five or six years to get promoted to the department level, and it usually takes seven or eight years at most. And the department-level officials are also a county magistrate or county magistrate. Next, it's up to them. ”

Hearing that it won't take five or six years to be released, you can still be a county magistrate or a county magistrate, which made them all quite tempted. Because at least they were given a chance, not the kind that showed no mercy at all. So this Song Na is also stuck, planning whether to let his son continue to be an official, and then take refuge in Taiwan. In this way, you can ensure your own wealth and completely "launder" the corrupt wealth of the past, so that you can spend money openly. In addition, his son's future can also be guaranteed, so what else is there to ask for?

"Lord Wang, we are willing to take refuge in you. I hope you will take it in the future! Song Na said immediately.

Wang Guorui immediately asked, "Do you have any plans?" ”

"Lord Wang, we plan to launch a mutiny, and then remove Yuan Shikai from power, and then we will come to you!" Song Na said.

Wang Guorui shook his head and said, "No, you can find a way to persuade Yuan Shikai." If Yuan Shikai is willing to take the initiative to sign, it can be regarded as a happy ending. We don't want to be able to continue bleeding the Chinese themselves, do you understand? We in Taiwan have come to the mainland not to grab territory, but to bring prosperity and strength to the Chinese people and move toward a bright future. For this same goal, everyone is 'comrade'! So why do our 'comrades' have to kill each other? ”

Song Na was speechless, but now that Wang Guorui is strong, what Wang Guorui says is what he says, what else can he say? However, since Wang Guorui ordered them to persuade Yuan Shikai to surrender, then they must also go, otherwise Wang Guorui will be unhappy and it will be troublesome. Now that their net worth and lives are also in the hands of Wang Guorui, they are naturally very worried. Like this kind of feudal bureaucracy, everything is centered on power, not on legal ideas. They all serve for power, so they chose to take refuge in Wang Guorui, and naturally everything is under Wang Guorui's orders, and it is impossible for them to disobey the orders of Wang Guorui, the new master. They also thought in their hearts that once they lost Wang Guorui's trust, they would all become doomed.

After Song Na left, Li Guodong immediately asked, "Lord Wang, why do you want to give them such good conditions?" ”

"Hehe, it's impossible for us to enter the mainland, so everything is shouting and killing, right? So you have to leave a way back for those guys, or they probably won't be willing to surrender. Especially when we don't have a firm foothold, we have to let those guys see hope, so that they don't tear us down behind our backs. We still have to fight the foreign devils, and we can't spare our hands to clean them up for the time being. But if we push them too close, maybe they will collude with the foreigners and deal with us together. When the time comes, I'm really going to be attacked on my back, and it's really not worth it. So we have to give them some hope, hang them, and make them dare not collude with foreigners. The most important thing for people is hope, and if they have no hope at all, they will go crazy. At present, we still have to focus on national and national contradictions, and some of these contradictions can be put aside for the time being. Wang Guorui said.

However, Wang Guorui's effect was still good, and those Manchu bureaucrats thought that they had gained hope, so they all began to persuade Yuan Shikai to surrender as soon as possible, and then sign an agreement. They have now completely forgotten about the Qing Dynasty, anyway, they are going to take refuge in Wang Guorui, and then turn the huge wealth they have embezzled and corrupted into "laundered" money, and they can also let their descendants join Wang Guorui's new court, so that they can also ensure their wealth. Of course, they have to be busy performing, hoping to get Wang Guorui's attention. (To be continued......)
