Chapter 68: Big Fist is the Last Word (Part II)
Wang Guorui's finger pointed to the army outside the door, and everyone saw that the army outside the door had taken over Tainan. And these people are obviously a group of brave men, because they still have a lot of fierce aura coming down from the battlefield, much stronger than those guys in the Green Camp army. And they all know that these are the armies that defeated the Japanese army, and they are naturally not the same as the army in their hands. And now Wang Guorui is very unceremonious, relying on them directly, so he can deny the results of everyone's election.
Wang Guorui's meaning is very obvious, he has the only army under his command that can fight and win the Japanese army, which is Wang Guorui's reliance. If Taiwan's anti-Japanese leaders do not have Wang Guorui's approval, then if Wang Guorui leads the army to strike, then wouldn't this be the Japanese army that can drive straight in? Of course, Wang Guorui will not do this, but Wang Guorui relies on the army to fight for political capital for himself, which is normal. Without Wang Guorui's support, no one would be able to sit firmly as the leader of Taiwan's resistance against Japan.
As for saying that Taiwan's Black Flag Army is strong in combat and will become the main force in resisting Japan, this is just putting gold on its face. And everyone also knows that if there is no Wang Guorui's army, Taiwan's resistance to Japan is just empty talk, so it is impossible to bypass Wang Guorui in everything. Only then did they realize that Wang Guorui also took the initiative to use his army to support his own troops, and coerced them to compromise with Wang Guorui.
"Hmph, your army is still not my Qing army? As long as it is my army of the Qing Dynasty, then you will be subject to my supervision! A middle-aged man said.
Wang Guorui asked, "Which green onion are you?" ā
"I am the Great Qing Dynasty Taiwanese soldiers, and I am full of loyalty! All the military of Taiwan. That will be subject to my supervision and management, and you will move the army at will and do not obey the command. What do you mean by this? Do you want to betray the court? The middle-aged man said.
But Wang Guorui said: "Don't use any court to pressure me, the court can't control Taiwan now!" ā
"You you you you, you want to rebel! Taiwan is the territory of the Qing Dynasty, how dare you not accept the rule of the imperial court? Zhongman said angrily.
Wang Guorui snorted coldly: "Since the Treaty of Shimonoseki came into effect and the imperial court officially handed over Taiwan to Japan, our Taiwan is no longer the territory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Taiwan's current international status is still to be determined, and the right to belong to it is still unexplained. However, the only thing that is certain is that the imperial court has no right to give orders to Taiwan. Do you know? If you go to the international community, as long as the treaty is signed, then Taiwan has been abandoned by the imperial court. It is equivalent to the territory of Japan. And because of our resistance against Japan, Taiwan's status is to be determined, and the ownership rights are also to be determined. Therefore, Taiwan is now a disputed area, and it is not under the control of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. None of the orders of the Manchu court could order us here. Ladies and gentlemen. Have you studied these international rules? ā
Wang Guorui's meaning is obvious, since the Treaty of Shimonoseki came into effect, legally speaking, Taiwan has been given to Japan by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. However, Japan has not been able to eat Taiwan now, which means that Taiwan's international status is yet to be determined, and it will have to wait until the end of the war between Taiwan and Japan to discuss again. When the time comes, it will be to belong to Japan, or to return to the rule of the Manchus, or simply go to the extreme and establish itself as a country. That's all about seeing the situation at the time and the game in all aspects.
However, the only thing that is certain is that the Treaty of Shimonoseki between the Manchus and Japan is now in force. The Manchus had already renounced their sovereignty over Taiwan, so the Manchus had no right to give orders to Taiwan. Taiwan is now a disputed area, and neither side has the right to order against Taiwan. Let's not say that Wang Guorui has military power in his hands, let's just say that Taiwan's international status is now embarrassing, and naturally it will not be able to carry out the orders of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
"I don't care, I am an official of the imperial court, you are also an official appointed by the imperial court, my grade is high, you must listen to me!" Zhongman said angrily.
Wang Guorui said angrily: "It seems that I really play the piano to the cow, I won't tell you!" Come on, pull this guy down and kill him! ā
"Yes!"
The soldiers outside the door replied, and they quickly walked towards Chungman.
"What do you want to do? I am an official of the imperial court, and you have committed the following crimes! I'm going to sue you to the court, sue you! Tadamitsu shouted.
Tadamitsu was dragged away, and soon a gunshot rang out outside the door, and the Tadamitsu was also shot. Wang Guorui also wanted to use Zhongman's head to warn these guys and make them honest. Because Wang Guorui just wants to sue them, the lives of you guys are in the hands of Wang Guorui, and Wang Guorui has military power in his hands, and he can take their lives at any time. Those of them can't protect themselves at all, and they are not farts in front of Wang Guorui's army. And this Zhongman, that is, the person who took the initiative to resist Wang Guorui, Wang Guorui also wanted to borrow Zhongman's head to warn them.
And the Manchu officials present also gave a chill, obviously Wang Guorui was afraid of the practice of killing people when he said that he would kill people. Wang Guorui is so domineering, he doesn't reason with you, and directly uses force to force them. If you have the guts, go and reason with the rifle and see if your head is hard or the bullet is hard.
"Okay, now for the election of Taiwan's anti-Japanese leader, what can you nominate for it? Who is suitable to be the leader of Taiwan's resistance against Japan, I can talk about it, I am still very democratic! Wang Guorui asked.
"Democracy is a ghost!" The Manchu officials present were all slandered in their hearts.
Of course, those guys know that if they propose other candidates, Wang Guorui will not agree. And when the time comes, he will offend Wang Guorui, and maybe he will be killed. So they're all very smart and don't directly say who the right person is. Everyone is so silent, anyway, it's just such a consumption, non-violent non-cooperation.
Wang Guorui saw that no one mentioned yƬ, and then he took the initiative to say: "I, Wang Guorui, the magistrate of Hsinchu County, recommended Wang Guorui to serve as the leader of Taiwan's anti-Japanese resistance, and Wang Guorui will definitely be able to lead everyone to defeat the Japanese invasion and maintain Taiwan's stability and unity." ā
Everyone present almost fainted, they had seen shameless, but they had never seen Wang Guorui so shameless. Wang Guorui actually took the initiative to recommend "Hsinchu County Magistrate Wang Guorui" as Taiwan's anti-Japanese leader, isn't this just recommending himself? According to the consistent tradition of Chinese culture, even if someone really wants to hold a certain position, especially a leadership position, it is recommended by others, not by themselves. Let others recommend it, it seems that you "win the hearts of the people"! And if you recommend it yourself, it is also suspected of selling melons - selling and boasting.
But Wang Guorui is so shameless, in order to be the leader of Taiwan's resistance against Japan, he actually took the initiative to recommend himself, and he didn't even want to be cheeky. But they can't say anything, because they still have to be cheeky, after all, there is no rule that you can't recommend yourself! Also, Wang Guorui's subordinates have soldiers, and Wang Guorui's soldiers won't listen to them! Naturally, they don't have any opinions, even if they have any opinions, they can only endure it!
"Now, vote open! Those who oppose Wang Guorui, the magistrate of Hsinchu County, as the leader of Taiwan's resistance against Japan, please raise your hand! Wang Guorui asked.
Everyone present was silent, because none of them dared to object. If they dare to object, then I'm afraid that Wang Guorui Ke will kill people next. The blood of Zhongman just now was not cold, and now they don't want to follow in the footsteps of Zhongman so quickly. These civilian officials, but they know the most about current affairs, and they will definitely not oppose the warlords who hold the military power of one side. Now Wang Guorui has become a big warlord, so they will not take the initiative to provoke him stupidly. Therefore, the scene also fell silent for a while, and no one raised their hands to object.
However, many people also thought in their hearts, and when Wang Guorui said who agreed, then they didn't raise their hands. In any case, they either disagree or oppose, that is, an attitude of non-violence and non-cooperation. However, the plot of the matter does not seem to be what they think.
"Since there is no objection, it is agreed. Since everyone agrees that Wang Guorui is the leader of Taiwan's resistance against Japan, then Wang Mou is not talented, and he will definitely be able to lead everyone to resist the Japanese army and protect the territory and the people! Wang Guorui said.
"I, I, I, I......" Liu Yongfu was anxious and stuttered.
Wang Guorui was so shameless, it was obviously intentional just now, so I asked who disagrees first. But everyone didn't raise their hands, so Wang Guorui immediately said that everyone had no opinion, that is, they agreed. This made their "non-violent non-cooperation" suddenly fail.
"Okay, now I'll announce the next plan as the leader of Taiwan's anti-Japanese resistance!" Wang Guorui took the initiative to say.
In this way, Wang Guorui also became the anti-Japanese leader of Taiwan. And those people didn't dare to speak out against it, after all, Wang Guorui had a lot of strong troops under him, and if they dared to object, then I am afraid that Wang Guorui would be beaten by him immediately. And Wang Guorui is not afraid that they can stab, now Wang Guorui has soldiers under him, and the Japanese army is still stationed in Taipei, if anyone dares not to cooperate, then Wang Guorui will also deduct the hat of an adultererous robber. Anyway, this hat is a button, and even the Manchu Qing Dynasty will not tolerate those who fornicate with the Japanese.
Anyway, Wang Guorui is also open-faced now, and the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, anyway, even if these people say that he is a warlord, he will admit it. Since it is impossible to convince them, it is to use rifles and bayonets to force them to cooperate with themselves. As for those who do not cooperate, they are "fornicated" with the Japanese and then dragged to trial and shot. (To be continued......)
