Chapter 267: Tearing Face (Medium)
In a courtyard in Dongwanlu, Liu Enguan convened a meeting of many old and young people of Lanfang back then, and the topic of their meeting was very simple, that is, how to expel Taiwan and then really establish a country of their own.
"Everyone, I, Liu Enguan, am guilty! I also listened to the words of that Taiwanese Wang Guorui, and really thought that Wang Guorui was here to help us Lan Fang. But now, they have defeated the Dutch, but what is the difference between us now and when we were under Dutch rule? Although I am nominally the chairman of this bullshit provisional government, I will not say when the word 'temporary' will be removed, but I will say that I, the chairman of the provisional government, have no rights at all. Wang Guorui also sent me a secretary, and that secretary was the one who really held the seal. I, the chairman of the Provisional Government, am not qualified to touch my own seal, and it is all in the hands of the secretary. And this secretary is adhering to Wang Guorui's meaning, and then stamping the designated documents. It is a tragedy that I am now the Chairman of the Provisional Government, but I am not able to control the fate of this country at all! Liu Enguan said.
Hearing Liu Enguan's words, everyone couldn't help but be silent. They originally thought that Taiwan was really willing to help them restore the country, because Liu Enguan had already given his sister to Wang Guorui, and in their eyes, Wang Guorui was Lan Fang's in-law, not should directly sue Zhan Lan Fang. Everyone thought that Liu Enguan betrayed his sister in exchange for Taiwan to help restore the country, and this is not impossible. Anyway, a woman has to be sacrificed for the benefit of the family. And although they are now all ministers of the Republic of Lanfang in name, they actually have no power at all. And the so-called ministries are not so much the semicolons of Taiwan's various departments, and they have no power.
"Yes! Although I am the so-called security chief, the police under my command are quick to arrest me, and no one listens to me. And even if a police officer at the lowest level arrests quickly, he knows that my so-called deputy minister is the real person in charge, and that so-called deputy minister directly controls this security department, and I can't even mobilize a single policeman in my hands. ”
And a lot of people are hating it. He didn't have any rights under his hands, because Wang Guorui had a deputy minister next to each of their ministers, all of whom were forcibly appointed by Taiwan. And although those police garrisons are all locals, Wang Guorui has played a very ruthless trick. That is, the cross-defense zone. Not be able to serve in the police and garrison units in the place of permanent residence. In this way, although those officials are Lan Fang's officials, because those garrisons under them are not their locals, and they often exchange defense areas very frequently, although those ministers want to win over some people, they have not succeeded in being exchanged defense areas immediately. This is tantamount to investing in vain. So they are all complaining, and they have no rights in their hands.
They originally thought that they would be able to restore the country and seize power when Taiwan came this time, but they did not expect that Taiwan would also come to rule them. And they are already very dissatisfied with this, after all, no one wants to be an official who is not worthy of the name and has no rights. Although they were under the rule of the Dutch at that time, they could suffer from the butcher's knife of the Dutch at any time, and now Taiwan has come to their rescue. They are much better than in the past, they don't have to suffer directly from the butcher's knives of the Dutch, and Taiwan is much more gentle than the Dutch, and they will not kill them lightly. Taiwan is just cruel to the natives, not to the Chinese.
But so what? They will not be grateful to Taiwan. Because Taiwan has deprived them of the rights they think they deserve. People are like this, they have to look forward to Shu, their desires are difficult to fill, and they will never be satisfied. Although Taiwan rescued them from the Dutch, Taiwan failed to give them the rights they thought they deserved, which is what they hated about Taiwan. The vast majority of people in this world are like this, remembering that others are not good to them, but they never think about the good that others do to them. If someone offends someone, he will repay him, but he can take revenge for the kindness of others. For many people, it is already a reward, and this is the root of human inferiority.
In their eyes, only Taiwan has emptied their rights, but they don't think at all that before Taiwan arrives, they can only tremble under the feet of the Dutch. And even any indigenous person can extort money from them. If you keep giving and don't whip, then they will take your giving for granted, and one day if they don't give it to him, then they will hate you very much. And they think that Taiwan should help them restore their country, but they do not give them back their rights. They also think that Taiwan is shameless.
"Well, but what do we do now? We can't deal with Taiwan at all! The current army is all from Taiwan, and even if it is a garrison force, it is all managed by Taiwanese officers, and we can't interfere at all! Someone said.
And after hearing this, countless people were also depressed, because they were all old fritters, and naturally knew that military power was the greatest right. In ancient times, military power can be said to be the source of a qiē right, and if there is no military power, I am afraid that even the political power will go. Even revolutionaries advocate power from the barrel of a gun, can this be accidental? So now that Taiwan has the military power, that is, they are in control of their fate, and if they dare to resist, I am afraid that they will all die without a place to be buried.
"You don't have to worry, I have a way!" Liu Enguan said.
"Chief, what can you do?" Someone asked.
Liu Enguan immediately said: "Recently, I was contacted by an envoy from the British, and he said that he was willing to help us become a truly independent country, without being persecuted by the Dutch and Taiwan!" We can truly exist in this world as a country, and we don't have to worry about being manipulated. ”
"Oh? Briton? "Some people are still skeptical.
"The British, the British. The British promised me that as long as we could cooperate, communicate guò and then telegraph the whole world, and declare that we would become an independent country instead of becoming a protectorate of China, then the British would be the first to recognize us as an independent country. And force Taiwan to withdraw its troops, and then we can build the country independently! Liu Enguan said.
"British? That's the world's most powerful country! "Yes! If the British come forward, then Taiwan will definitely withdraw its troops! ”……
When everyone heard the news that they were hungry, many people also felt excited, because if the world's number one power came forward to help them, then small Taiwan would not have to obey the British arrangement and quickly withdraw its troops?
"The British promised us that if Taiwan does not leave by then, then they will also send troops to intervene, kill the Taiwanese, and then let us truly establish an independent state!" Liu Enguan ran out of a "bombshell" again, said.
"In this case, then we will be able to do it!" "Yes! We'll make it! "Hmph, if the British come, then Taiwan must not be like a local chicken and a dog?" ……
Many people also felt a burst of excitement, because if the British sent troops, Taiwan would inevitably leave. But they don't know that if the British could send troops, they would have started fighting a long time ago, where would they fight Taiwan for them? So the British won't send troops, it's just that Henry is talking nonsense in order to add some weight to himself. Once Lan Fang is in, everything that the British promised before will be discounted. These Lan Fang guys are still too young in international struggle, and they don't know any international struggle at all.
"I don't agree, I don't agree with letting the British join in the expulsion of the Taiwanese!" Someone said.
At this time, Liu Enguan looked at this person and immediately said angrily: "Liu Fuyan, what do you mean by this?" ”
This Liu Fuyan is Liu Enguan's cousin, and after Lanfang "returned to the country" this time, he Liu Fuyan became a nominal Minister of Agriculture, but the power is also in the hands of the deputy.
"Cousin, I don't agree with the British joining in. Although Taiwan is now in a thousand ways bad, and although we do not have the right to do so, can it be better if the British come? I just wanted to ask you, what is the difference between the British and the Dutch? They are all Western powers, they are all foreign devils, and they are all hungry wolves who eat people and do not spit out bones. Although Taiwan has deprived us of our rights, at least it will not kill us and rob us of our wealth. But if the British come, they will be very cruel. You know, it's easy to please God, but it's hard to send God. If the British come, then even if we expel Taiwan, what will happen? I'm afraid, in the end, it's all in vain! As for what you say about the British respecting our sovereignty, this is simply a ridiculous joke. If the British are a country that respects sovereignty, where in the world are there so many colonies colonized by the British? If this is the case, then how can our motherland, China, become like this? Therefore, to cooperate with the British, it is to seek the skin of the tiger, and it is strange that they do not swallow us in one gulp. Liu Fuyan said.
But Liu Enguan said angrily: "You get out of here, the British are helping us from afar, you actually slander your allies so much, what are your intentions?" Get out of here! ”
Now Liu Enguan has fallen into a kind of madness, and he has not hesitated to take back power from Taiwan. I can't listen to any contrary advice, I just want to be able to regain power.
"Hahahaha, why are some people so naïve and naïve?" A voice came from outside the door. (To be continued.) )
