When the "Central and Western Amsterdam Treaty" was transmitted to the whole world by telegram, it shocked the world immediately. Although this treaty seems to be a treaty of equality, in fact, any government official can see the meaning in it. The meaning in it is actually that the Spaniards confessed and voluntarily ceded the Philippines. In fact, they didn't get any money, because Taiwan directly used the ransom of the prisoner of war to offset the purchase cost of the Philippines, which obviously left Spain with the last bit of face. And Spain saw diplomats from various countries in Europe, and they all cried out why Taiwanese did not respect international laws and used these hooligan methods. And their words have also won the sympathy of many countries. For this reason, many countries have also accused Taiwan of not following international laws. But Wang Guorui has a thick skin and doesn't care what they say.

And when the news reached Japan, everyone in Japan was also thinking about it for a while.

"Taiwan actually let Spain ceded the Philippines. It is unreasonable that our colony has developed to such an extent. Could it be that our great Japanese Empire is not as good as our colony? Our Great Japanese Empire has not acquired a piece of land. Ah!" Emperor Meiji said angrily.

Emperor Meiji was so angry because he still regarded Taiwan as his colony, because the Treaty of Shimonoseki had not been abolished, it was just nothing. As for the part about Taiwan, Emperor Meiji allowed Taiwan to decide its own destiny, and this was allowed by Japan. It has nothing to do with Manchu. In other words, Taiwan legally passed through the hands of Japan, but later Japan was forced to allow Taiwan to decide its own destiny. Therefore, Emperor Meiji always believed that Taiwan was still their colony. Now his own colony is doing so well. Then Japan didn't even get a piece of land, which is too tragic.

Those ministers were speechless, because China ceded Liaodong and Taiwan back then, but Liaodong was interfered by the three countries, and in the end they could only spit it out and return it to China. As for Taiwan, it is even more miserable, and it has been taught to be disheartened. So Japan did not actually get a piece of land. They have worked hard for decades, and it is so close to failure. Even the indemnity of the Manchu Qing was squeezed out of toothpaste. The Manchu and Qing government took Japan less and less seriously and delayed the time for indemnity. It is not that Japan has never thought of sending a navy to threaten the Manchus, but now the Manchus have reorganized the Beiyang Navy. It is even stronger than it was back then.

Moreover, Taiwan will send a fleet across the Taiwan Strait to cause trouble, which will annoy Japan. In terms of containing the Japanese navy, Taiwan's navy and the Beiyang Navy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty thought of the same thing. Although the two sides fought, they still had the same guns in dealing with Japan. It would be a tragedy for Japan to bear the siege of two not weak navies. Now Japan's combined fleet has to worry about the Taiwanese navy and the Qing Beiyang navy at any time, because these two are their enemies.

In the next step, the Qing mainland government received the news. They were also numb from the thunder.

"Has Taiwan actually let the European powers cede territory and pay compensation?" Cixi said in panic.

"Yes! Lafayette, now the common people and scholars all over the country know the news, and they all request..." Prince Qing Yikuang said.

"What are you asking for?" Cixi asked.

And Prince Qing Yikuang immediately said: "I request the imperial court to let the governor of Taiwan, Wang Guorui, come to Beijing to serve as the chief minister of military aircraft, and to be in charge of state affairs."

When Cixi heard this, she was taken aback at first, but then she smiled wryly.

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

And Prince Qing Yikuang 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 in the Qing Dynasty. In fact, he was the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty. But in fact, the military ministers of the Qing Dynasty were far from being able to compare with the prime ministers of the year, who had a high status. Power is also great. However, the Minister of Military Aircraft in the Qing Dynasty was just a secretary of the emperor and did not have much real power. And even the chief minister of military aircraft is just the so-called "Secretary General" and has little power. That's why Wang Guorui didn't go to Beijing to be the prime minister just because of the false name of the military minister!

Therefore, if Wang Guorui is willing to go to Beijing to serve as Minister of Military Aircraft, Cixi will welcome her with both hands and feet, because once he arrives in the capital, Wang Guorui's network will not be effective, and Taiwan will be cleaned up by the Qing Dynasty. Soyi and the others certainly hoped that Wang Guorui would come over, but they knew that Wang Guorui was not stupid. With such a status, Wang Guorui would certainly not choose to go to Beijing to serve as this flashy military minister. Therefore, Cixi knew that Wang Guorui would not be willing to come here.

When Yikuang saw Cixi's situation, he immediately said, "Empress Dowager, in fact, I think that no matter what Wang Guorui is, he is still a courtier of my Qing Dynasty, at least he is still under the name of my Qing Dynasty. So he To be able to achieve such an achievement, isn’t it actually the achievement of my Qing Dynasty? Recently, some of our people have begun to support our Qing Dynasty. They don’t care about Wang Guorui’s rebellion, but they still think he is my Qing Dynasty’s My subject, and my status in the Qing Dynasty is also higher in the world. Therefore, I think that I can still give Wang Guorui some rewards."

When Yikuang said this, he was actually helping Wang Guorui to appease the Empress Dowager Cixi and prevent the Empress Dowager Cixi from doing any radical actions. Moreover, Yikuang thinks that he can help Wang Guorui get some nominal rewards, and he can also get some benefits. Anyway, Yikuang had already turned to Wang Guorui for a long time. Yikuang hoped to leave a way out for his descendants, and also opened up a way for himself to make money. This Yikuang is someone who doesn't even want his ancestors for money. This kind of guy is very good at greedy for money.

Don't look at his thinking of Wang Guorui now, but in fact, he is thinking about how he can ask Wang Guorui for money. As long as he has money, everything can be solved. Anyway, he also knew that the Qing Dynasty was a broken ship, so how could he enjoy a rich life in the future if he didn't make money quickly. Anyway, whenever the dynasty is at the end of the world, the officials become more corrupt. Because if there is no corruption, there will be no chance. Once the country is subjugated, they can live a luxurious life with money and maintain their affluent life. Even Yikuang is no exception. At this time, of course he will try his best to get money. In addition, Wang Guorui promised that even if he wins the country in the future, he will not massacre the Manchus, and the royal family can also save their lives. Even if he helps Wang Guorui enough, he can guarantee that Yikuang's son will become a provincial and ministerial official in the new regime in the future. In this way, what extravagance can he ask for, and he directly agreed to this method.

And Cixi also said: "Since this is the case, it is good to add the post of Taifu to Wang Guorui, and also lead the University of Martial Arts Hall."

And Yikuang also felt that Cixi was a bit stingy, and that such a great contribution was only given to a grand tutor and a scholar of Wuyingdian, two slick and useless things. Taifu is actually a position without actual power. Although he is a first-class official, he can't control anything in fact. The Wuyingdian University Bachelor is one of the Diange Grand Scholars, but the Diange Grand Scholars have already become the title of an official, not like the Ming Dynasty, which can be called a prime minister. And Cixi is obviously a bit stingy! However, maybe Cixi still thinks that no matter how many rewards Wang Guorui gives, sooner or later he will rebel, so there is no need to give too good things, just mean it.

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

"Director Zhou, congratulations to Mr. Wang for getting the position of Taifu and joining the cabinet! From now on, we can call Mr. Wang the elder of the cabinet!" Immediately, someone licked his face in front of Zhou Chen, director of the Taiwan Office in Beijing.

And Zhou Chen couldn't help but sigh when he saw the officials who came to give gifts one after another. There are fifty or sixty people who just came to give gifts, and even more people didn't come to give gifts in person, they were all entrusted to send them instead of coming directly. And these people all hope to leave a way out for themselves, hoping to get acquainted with themselves in the future, maybe they can continue to be officials. Even if he can't continue to be an official, after Wang Guorui takes over the mainland in the future, he can preserve the wealth he has collected for many years to enjoy the blessings~lightnovelpub.net~ and then let his son serve in Wang Guorui's new government, which is not too bad.

"Director Zhou, Mr. Wang is a hero of our generation in the Qing Dynasty! This is a great achievement to expand the territory! Therefore, Director Zhou Chen must accept the gift, otherwise we really can't go back. This is representative We have some respect for Mr. Wang, so please accept the things Mr. Zhou."

Then, his mother would not forget to take out a bank note and give it to Zhou Chen, obviously Zhou Chen also had a share.

"Okay! I will accept the gift on behalf of our Lord Wang, but I just said, you go back and do things well in the future, and don't do anything outrageous. As for the past, our Lord Wang said that we don't know , but the next thing, then you can take care of it." Zhou Chen said.

"Well, I understand, we understand!" Someone answered immediately.

Can those guys not understand? Wang Guorui doesn't care about the past, as long as he can be a little more honest in the future and don't treat the people too harshly, then it will be fine. Next, Wang Guorui took control of the mainland, so a group of corrupt officials must be killed to sacrifice the flag. Therefore, whoever is so unlucky at that time will depend on who is disobedient, and the public will be the most angry. (to be continued)
