When the Treaty of Amsterdam spread to the world by telegram, the world was shocked. Although this treaty seems to be an equal treaty, in fact, any government official can see the meaning of this, which is actually the Spanish recognized and took the initiative to cede the Philippines. In fact, not a penny was obtained, because Taiwan directly offset the Philippine purchase cost with the ransom of the prisoner of war, which obviously left the last shred of face for Spain. And when Spain met diplomats from various countries in Europe, they all cried and complained that the Taiwanese did not respect international laws and used these hooligan methods. Their words have also won the sympathy of many countries, and for this reason, many countries have also condemned Taiwan for not respecting international laws. But Wang Guorui is thick-skinned and doesn't care what these guys say.

And this news reached Japan, and there was a burst of thoughts throughout Japan.

"It is unreasonable that Taiwan actually let Spain cede the Philippines, and one of our colonies has developed to such a point. Is our great Empire of Japan inferior to one of our colonies? We in the Great Japanese Empire have not acquired a single piece of land! Emperor Meiji said angrily.

Emperor Meiji was so angry because he still regarded Taiwan as his colony, because the Treaty of Shimonoseki was not abolished, but it was just gone. As for the part of Taiwan, Emperor Meiji allowed Taiwan to decide its own fate, and this was allowed by the Japanese side, which had nothing to do with the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In other words, Taiwan has legally passed through Japan's hands, but later Japan was forced to allow Taiwan to decide its own destiny. So because of this, Emperor Meiji always considered Taiwan to be their colony. Now that their colonies are mixed so well, it is a tragedy that they Japan have not even acquired a piece of land.

The ministers were speechless. Because China ceded Liaodong and Taiwan back then, but Liaodong was interfered by the three countries, and in the end it could only be spit out and returned to China. As for Taiwan, it is even more miserable and has been taught a lesson, so in fact Japan has not acquired a single piece of land. They have worked hard for decades. It was so close to failure that even the Manchu reparations were squeezed toothpaste, and the Manchu government became less and less serious about Japan, and they also delayed the time for reparations. Japan did not think of sending a navy to threaten the Manchus, but now the Manchus have reorganized the Beiyang Naval Division, and the strength is even more powerful than back then.

Moreover, Taiwan will also send the Taiwan Naval Fleet to create an incident, which will annoy Japan. In terms of containing the Japanese navy, Taiwan's navy and the Manchu Beiyang naval division thought together, although the two sides had a fight. However, in dealing with Japan, the guns are still unanimous. It would be a tragedy for Japan to endure the siege of two not weak navies, and now the Japanese Combined Fleet has to worry at any time about the naval forces of Taiwan and the Beiyang naval division of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, because both of them are their enemies.

And next, when the Manchu mainland government received the news, they were also numb by Lei.

"Did Taiwan actually let the European powers cede land and pay compensation?" Cixi said in a panic.

"Yes! Lafayette, now the people and scholars all over the country also know the news, and they have divided their requests ......," said Prince Qing.

"Request what?" Cixi asked.

And Prince Qing immediately said: "I ask the imperial court to let Wang Guorui, the governor of Taiwan." He entered Beijing as the foreman of the Minister of Military Aircraft and the General Consul of State Affairs. ”

Cixi listened to this. At first, I was stunned, but then I smiled bitterly.

"He is willing to come, but the mourning family is willing to give it to him!" Cixi said with a wry smile.

And Prince Qing Yixuan also said: "If Wang Guorui is willing to come over, then I am also willing to give way." ”

The so-called Minister of Military Aircraft of the Qing Dynasty was actually the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty. However, in fact, the military minister of the Qing Dynasty was far from being able to compare with the prime minister of the year, and the prime minister of that year had a very high status. The power is also very great. However, the Qing Dynasty's military minister was just a secretary to the emperor and did not have much real power. And even if he is the foreman of the Minister of Military Aircraft, he is just the so-called "Secretary General", and he does not have much power. Therefore, Wang Guorui will not go to Beijing to be the prime minister for the false name of this minister of military aircraft!

Therefore, if Wang Guorui is willing to go to Beijing to serve as the Minister of Military Aircraft, then Cixi will welcome him with both hands and feet. Because once he arrives in the capital, Wang Guorui's network will no longer play a role, and Taiwan will also be cleaned up by the Manchus. Of course, they hoped that Wang Guorui would come over, but they knew that Wang Guorui was not stupid, and Wang Guorui could have such a status, of course he would not choose to go to Beijing to serve as this flashy minister of military aircraft. Therefore, Cixi knew that Wang Guorui would not be willing to come.

And Yixuan saw Cixi's situation, and immediately said: "Queen Mother, in fact, no matter how much I think Wang Guorui, it is also my courtiers of the Qing Dynasty, at least under the name of my Qing Dynasty." So if he can have such an achievement, then why not the achievement of my Qing Dynasty? Recently, our people have also begun to support our Qing Dynasty, they don't care what Wang Guorui is rebellious, but they still think that he is a courtier of my Qing Dynasty, and my Qing Dynasty has a higher status in the world. Therefore, the minister thought that he could give Wang Guorui some rewards. ”

Yixuan said this, in fact, he was helping Wang Guorui to appease the Empress Dowager Cixi and prevent the Empress Dowager Cixi from doing any radical behavior. Moreover, Yixuan thinks that he can help Wang Guorui ask for some nominal rewards, which can also get some benefits. Anyway, Yixuan has actually taken refuge in Wang Guorui a long time ago, and Yixuan hopes to leave a way back for his descendants, and also open up a financial path for himself. This Yixuan is a person who doesn't even want his ancestors for money, and this kind of guy is very good at greedy for money.

Now don't look at his thoughts for Wang Guorui's sake, but in fact, he is thinking in his heart how he can ask Wang Guorui for money, as long as he has money, everything can be solved. Anyway, he also knows that the Qing Dynasty is a broken boat, and if he doesn't hurry up to make money, how can he enjoy a rich life in the future. Anyway, whenever the dynasty ends, the more corrupt the officials become. Because if they are not corrupt, then there will be no chance after that, and once the country is destroyed, they can take the money to live a luxurious life and maintain their rich life. Even Yixuan is no exception, and at this time, of course, he has to work hard to make money. In addition, Wang Guorui promised that even if he won the country in the future, he would not be satisfied. People carry out mass murder, and the royal family can also save their lives. Even if he helps Wang Guorui enough, he can guarantee that Yixiao's son will be able to become a provincial and ministerial-level official in the new regime in the future. In this way, he can still have any luxury, and directly agree to this method.

And Cixi also said: "In this case, it is good to add the position of Taifu to Wang Guorui, and concurrently lead the Wuyingdian University." ”

And Yixuan also felt that Cixi was a little picky, and such a big credit was only given to a Taifu and a scholar of Wuyingdian, two things that were not useful. Taifu is actually a position with no actual power, although it is a genuine product, but the fact is that he can't control anything. And Wuyingdian University Scholar is one of the palace scholars, but the palace scholar has long been the title of an additional official, and it is not a cabinet scholar who can be called a prime minister like the Ming Dynasty. And Cixi is obviously a little picky! However, perhaps Cixi still thinks that no matter how much reward Wang Guorui gives, sooner or later he will rebel, so there is no need to give too good things, just the meaning.

However, Cixi gave this reward, and many people immediately took this opportunity to curry favor with Wang Guorui.

"Director Zhou, congratulations to Lord Wang for winning the position of Taifu and joining the cabinet! In the future, we can call Lord Wang the Pavilion Old Zhongtang! Someone immediately licked his face in front of Zhou Chen, director of the Taiwan Beijing Office, and said.

And Zhou Chen looked at these officials who came over to give gifts, and he couldn't sigh. There are fifty or sixty people who just came to give gifts, and more of them did not come to give gifts in person, and they all asked people to send them and did not come directly. And these people all hope to leave a way back for themselves, hoping to be familiar with themselves in the future, and maybe they can continue to be officials. Even if he can't continue to be an official, then in the future, after Wang Guorui enters the mainland, he can preserve the wealth he has collected for many years to enjoy happiness, and then let his son serve in Wang Guorui's new government, which is not too bad.

"Director Zhou, Lord Wang is a hero of our generation in the Qing Dynasty! This is a great achievement in expanding the territory! Therefore, please Director Zhou Chen must accept the gift, otherwise we really can't go back. This is to represent some of our respect for Lord Wang, so please ask Lord Zhou to take things away. ”

Then, his mother didn't forget to take out a silver ticket and give it to Zhou Chen, obviously Zhou Chen also had a share.

"Alright! I will accept the gift on behalf of our Lord Wang, but I just said that you can go back and do things well in the future, and don't do anything hurtful. In the past, we Lord Wang said that we should not know, but the next thing, then you can watch and handle it. Zhou Chen said.

"Yes, we understand, we understand!" Someone answered immediately.

Can those guys not understand? Wang Guorui is not accountable for the past, as long as he can be a little more honest and don't treat the people too harshly, it is not a big problem. Next, Wang Guorui entered the mainland, and he would inevitably kill a group of corrupt officials to sacrifice the flag. Therefore, whoever is so unlucky at that time will depend on who is disobedient, and the people will be the most angry. (To be continued......)
