Red Alert 1895

Chapter 288: I only know that there is a king, but I

When Wang Guorui led everyone into Dongwanlu, many people in Dongwanlu also knew Wang Guorui. Although Dongwanlu claims to be the capital of a province, this Dongwanlu is actually not flattering, because the city of Dongwanlu is only more than 10,000 Chinese. If it is a provincial capital with more than 10,000 people, it can really it's so funny. And those immigrants are mainly filled in other places. After all, Nanyang is too big, it is impossible to fill it up quickly, and then there will be a steady stream of immigrants. So this made Wang Guorui, the governor, and everyone else see each other without looking up, and everyone knew Wang Guorui.

"My lord!" "Hi, my lord!" "Hello, my lord, you came out so early today!"...

Wang Guorui also clasped his fists and said, "Hello everyone! Today I'm here to welcome the representatives of the imperial court. They're here to inspect this place."

"The imperial court?" Someone immediately asked in doubt.

But at this time, that Yu Geng immediately said: "Yes! I am here to inspect Lanfang, a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, under the orders of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. My Qing order shall prevail."

When Wang Guorui heard this, he couldn't help but smile, this Yu Geng still wanted to sow discord. Yu Geng had sowed dissension many times in Taiwan, but his sowing was almost useless, because there were people following him in Taiwan at any time, and those officials in Taiwan knew to avoid suspicion. What's more, the Manchu Qing Dynasty hurt the hearts of the people of Taiwan too much. People in Taiwan are also very sad about the mainland. Back then, Taiwan was determined to be Chinese, but the Manchus forced them to surrender to Japan. Can you not be sad? In one sentence. That is to say, my whole heart is towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch. So this situation is too shocking, and the local people in Taiwan are very uneasy about the imperial court.

Although the people of Taiwan may not agree to rebellion, they are also very satisfied with the current situation of Taiwan's autonomy. If it can self-government, then there is no need to fear that Taiwan will be ceded again. And Yugeng's work in Taiwan was ineffective, and he was unwilling to contact those workers. Yu Geng actually went in the wrong direction, and Yu Geng paid attention to Taiwan's leadership. They are all overseas students, and they know the difference between the mainland and Taiwan. So they even come to win over the mainland. Neither of them wanted to go back to that decadent continent.

But Taiwan is different, Taiwan is the place where they can realize their dream of making the country rich and the people strong, so Yu Geng has very little effect on attracting the leaders who are from overseas students. And Yu Geng also pretends to be lofty, and doesn't bother to win over those workers. In fact, those workers of immigrant origin. They still have a lot of loyalty to the Manchu Qing. After all, the Manchu Qing rule for more than two hundred years was not ruled in vain. But Yu Geng didn't bother to let go of his body to associate with those workers and common people, which was the reason why he had no effect.

Wang Guorui didn't worry at all that this Yu Geng would pull people away. After all, this Yu Geng valued the nobleman's face too much, and his status as an official was too much to bother communicating with the common people. So he is destined to be unable to attract too many people, because he doesn't know what the people need at all, and he blindly pays attention to loyalty or the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, so no one will be able to look up to him.

"The imperial court? Why did the imperial court order us?" Someone immediately asked.

"Bold. Your words are outrageous!" Yu Geng said angrily.

As a diehard loyalist of the court, Yu Geng dislikes the most that someone is not loyal to the court. And he has nothing to do with Wang Guorui, but a commoner dares to be so "reactionary". This of course made him unacceptable.

"Hahahaha, I'm already from Lanfang Province, and the imperial court can't control us. Imperial court, where was the imperial court when we were oppressed by the Dutch? We, Luo Fangbo, wanted to be ministers to the imperial court, but you What did Emperor Qianlong say about us in Lanfang? They thought we were abandoned overseas. We were not worthy of being a vassal state of the imperial court, and even disdain to let us be incorporated into the imperial court. How did the imperial court treat us back then? Treat us as pariahs. Then let We were oppressed by the Dutch and allowed us to be slaughtered and plundered by the natives, but the court didn’t say anything to help us, and even secretly said that the killing was good, thinking that we deserved what we ended up like? You say, the court never gave us favors Why should we obey the imperial court's order!" Someone said angrily.

Yu Geng was speechless. In fact, the Chinese central government treated overseas Chinese as abandoned citizens in ancient times. In ancient times, it was different from later generations. Chinese people in later generations were proud of the presence of overseas Chinese all over the world, but in ancient times it was completely different. In ancient times, there was a little tolerance for those overseas Chinese except in the late Qing Dynasty, but before the middle Qing Dynasty, these overseas Chinese were regarded as abandoned people, and they were not regarded as people of your own nationality. And these deserted people were massacred by foreigners, so the central government of the Chinese Communist Party will not say much, and even secretly comment on saying something like "deserving it".

This is not only the Manchu Qing Dynasty, even the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, overseas Chinese have no sense of belonging to the Chinese central government. You have to know why they want to make a living overseas, isn’t it because the domestic land annexation is too serious, and then they are forced to find a way overseas? And China is just such a "stupid", obviously its own domestic land annexation is very serious, but it still does not allow people to go abroad to make a living. If Bixing can be allowed to go abroad to make a living in the case of serious land annexation, then the Chinese can not only expand their strength, but also expand their territory to the whole world in advance. If so many dynasties in the past could do this, then the Chinese would have unknowingly become an empire on which the sun never sets. At that time, because there was not so many people in the country, the landlords were forced to lower the land rent, and then gave the people a way to survive, and the dynasty rule could be completed.

It's a pity that the ancient feudal dynasties were idiots who didn't know how to do this, and as a result, all dynasties were destroyed like this. But maybe there is a deeper reason for this, that is, to safeguard the interests of the landlord class. Because if the common people go overseas to make a living, I am afraid that there will be fewer people planting the land in the country. In this way, if the landlords exploit the people too much, then those tenants will also go abroad to make a living. At that time, the landlord is forced to lower the land rent, unable to raise the land rent higher and higher under the competitive pressure of the tenants to maximize the benefits. In order to benefit the landlords, the feudal ruling class chose to restrict the people from going abroad, and then forced the people to live in the country, so that the landlords can get enough benefits to live on!

"But, then none of you can betray the imperial court! The imperial court, your majesty, is supreme, they have the constitution of heaven in their mouths..." Yu Geng still wanted to use the old tricks to say.

"Bah!" Someone immediately sprayed on the ground.

"Don't tell me that the emperor is supreme. When did the emperor manage us? Our people pay taxes, that is, let the court serve us. Our people pay taxes, that is, the parents of those court officials. They should serve us Serving, instead of riding on our heads and domineering. But the current imperial court, not only does not think about how to make the country better, but also how to serve the taxpayers. They actually exploit the people all day long, and then satisfy themselves How could they care about our people, all of us are living in poverty, but they are still unwilling to let us go. We have no choice but to go abroad."

"After going abroad, we really got the teachings of Lord Wang. Lord Wang told us that the court should serve taxpayers, and officials and even the emperor are supported by taxpayers. They should serve the people. Be responsible and serve the taxpayers. Only in this way can you be regarded as a qualified court and emperor. But what about the emperor now? He doesn’t want to feed the taxpayers and serve them. Instead, he not only increases taxes to compensate foreigners, but he doesn’t take anything away. There are so many princes and ministers, and their families are rich~lightnovelpub.net~ But they are not willing to use their wealth to serve the country. If those dignitaries can use their wealth to serve the country, it will not mean that the country will be rich and strong Bing, even if they can repay the compensation to those foreigners, it is more than enough. But they are not willing, but want to exploit ordinary poor people, are they responsible for the taxpayers?"

And Yu Geng also blushed, and now he was pointing at the monk and scolding the bald man, because Yu Geng was also a rich man in the Qing Dynasty. How could he not know the virtues of those nobles in the Qing Dynasty? The dignitaries of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were all filthy. Although they said they wanted to serve the country, when it came to money, they were utterly filthy. The more it came to the end of the dynasty, the more those rich and powerful cared about money, and the more they refused to pay to defend their home and country. You must know that those powerful people also know that the ship is about to sink, so they hope to keep their money, and then they can live well after losing power. This is the reason why the wall is broken and the crowd is smashed and the drum is beaten by thousands of people. The more a dynasty needs money, the more difficult it is to get money to supplement it. After all, countless people are clutching their money bags and do not want to continue to maintain the dynasty.

Isn't that the case with the rich and powerful in the Qing Dynasty? Of course they knew that the ship of the Manchu Qing was already unstable, so they raised money faster than anyone else. Isn’t it just to be able to go to a foreign country to live a rich and happy life of luxury if the Qing Dynasty is subjugated one day?

"In my opinion, it's better to let Mr. Wang be the emperor!" (To be continued)
