Popular recommendation:,,,,,,,

"Master Wang, will they agree? If they don't agree, then do we really have to use force?" asked Li Guodong, the commander of the guard division.

Wang Guorui said: "I don't know, I don't know if Yuan Shikai will agree. But I hope he can still agree. Otherwise, if we attack the city, we Chinese will suffer the losses. So if Yuan Shikai is willing to agree, then I still say yes." Give him some preferential conditions."

"Master Wang, some officials in Jinan City have sent representatives over, hoping to meet Lord Wang in person!" someone said immediately.

"Oh? Let them in!" Wang Guorui said.

Soon, some low-level officials from Shandong also came out. However, they looked very embarrassed, and there was still a lot of dust on their bodies. Wang Guorui probably knew how they got out, it was nothing more than a dog hole. This kind of dog hole can drill a person, but it cannot let a large number of troops enter, let alone bring equipment in, so it is impossible to attack through the dog hole.

"Master Wang, we are representatives sent by officials at all levels in Shandong, and we hope to meet Mr. Wang!" someone said immediately.

And Wang Guorui replied: "I am Wang Guorui!"

"Oh, Mr. Wang's reputation is astonishing, we..." Someone immediately followed suit.

"Get to the point!" Wang Guorui said angrily immediately, if everyone is so nonsense, how can there be much time to do things?

"Okay, Mr. Wang, let me introduce myself first. I am the left counselor of the Yamen of the Shandong Chief Envoy, and my name is Song Na. I am here to meet you, Mr. Wang. I hope that I can meet with you. Your Excellency, please discuss the matter of surrender. We want to know, if we take refuge in Mr. Wang, will we be held accountable by Mr. Wang? Also, how will Mr. Wang deal with us Shandong officials?"

This Song Na was not ambiguous, and straightforwardly pointed out the key point of the problem, that is, how Wang Guorui would treat these former Shandong officials after they surrendered. This means surrendering and knowing the conditions, hoping to get enough benefits for yourself. Anyway, Taiwan's army has already begun to cross the Yellow River, and maybe they will be able to go to the capital to hold the emperor in order to order the princes. At that time, the world will also be surnamed king. So it is a good thing for them to seek refuge as soon as possible. This way you get better treatment!

"Okay, since you're here, I'll just talk about it. After we come over, we will conduct a re-examination for the past court officials. Our team's past Shandong officials will be divided into three types. The first , that is, corrupt officials. The second type is officials with good moral character but poor ability. The last type is officials with good moral character and strong ability. We will separate these three types of officials Dispose of it." Wang Guorui said.

And that Song Na's expression changed immediately. Apparently he knew that he and the vast majority of Shandong officials were the "first type", that is, those officials who were corrupt and corrupt. He immediately looked forward to looking at Wang Guorui, hoping that Wang Guorui would tell how to deal with these officials.

But Wang Guorui's bad taste suddenly came, and he immediately said: "For the third type of officials who are clean and capable, we will reuse them. Not only will they not be dismissed or demoted, but they will be promoted. For officials who are not strong, we will let them go to some relatively idle positions, mainly in public institutions. Generally, they are employed in schools at all levels and in art groups. As for the first type..."

Wang Guorui stopped suddenly, and that Song Na felt like a cat scratching his heart. Obviously don't know how the other party will deal with it.

"The first type of corrupt officials, we will resolutely remove them from the officialdom. Of course, if they are willing to surrender, we will not pursue those mistakes before surrendering. I allow them to leave with all kinds of wealth , and then they decide what life they want to live, and they will all be ordinary Chinese citizens. But in the future, they must abide by the law and cannot continue to break the law." Wang Guorui said.

After Wang Guorui said this condition, Song Na's face immediately turned green, because they would lose power. And wild catfish can take away the wealth of the past. But once they lose their power, can their wealth be kept? Although they seem to be able to take the wealth away, they don't know that the wealth comes cleanly, if there is no protection of power. I'm afraid it's not far away from losing it. So when they heard that they would be cleared out of the officialdom, they were already very hesitant in their hearts.

Seeing their hesitation, Wang Guorui immediately went on to say: "Of course, learn from past mistakes to save others. Although the fathers made mistakes, we will not implicate their younger generations. We can arrange them to work. Like this As an official. That is experienced, so we can give priority to entering our central agency in Taiwan."

"Arrangement to serve in a central agency?" Everyone obviously didn't understand what this meant.

However, these officials also probably understood that although Wang Guorui cleaned up these corrupt officials and left the officialdom, he did not block the door. They could still arrange for their descendants to work in Taiwan's central agencies. This made them breathe a sigh of relief, because their descendants can still continue to be officials and are still qualified to continue to hold power. As long as his son holds power, it is no different from holding power by himself. At that time, the safety of wealth can be guaranteed.

"Our central organization is pretty good, although it is divided into officials at various levels. But at the bottom, every clerk is a deputy chief clerk and a chief clerk. In the past, they are ninth-rank officials. And in the It takes less than five or six years to be promoted to the division level, and it usually takes seven or eight years at most. The division-level officials are also sent out by a county magistrate or a county magistrate. Cheng. Next, it’s up to them.”

They were also quite tempted to hear that they could still be a county magistrate or magistrate within five or six years. Because at least they are still given a chance, not the kind that are ruthless. So this Song Na was also stuck thinking about whether to let his son continue to be an official, and then he went to Taiwan. In this way, one's own wealth can be guaranteed, and the corrupt wealth of the past can be completely "washed white", so that the money can be spent openly. In addition, his son's future can be guaranteed, so what else is there to ask for?

"Master Wang, we are willing to rely on you. I hope you will take me in in the future!" Song Na said immediately.

Wang Guorui immediately asked, "Do you have any plans?"

"Master Wang, we plan to launch a mutiny, and then remove Yuan Shikai's power, and then we will come to you!" Song Na said.

Wang Guorui shook his head and said, "No, you just have to find a way to persuade Yuan Shikai. If Yuan Shikai is willing to take the initiative to sign, it can be considered a happy ending. We don't want the Chinese to continue to bleed, you understand Is it? We Taiwan came to the mainland not to grab territory, but to bring prosperity and a bright future to the Chinese people. For the same goal, we are all "comrades"! So why should we "comrades" What about cannibalism?"

Song Na was speechless, but now that Wang Guorui is powerful, then what Wang Guorui said is nothing, what else can he say? But since Wang Guorui ordered them to persuade Yuan Shikai to surrender, they all had to go, otherwise Wang Guorui would be in trouble if he was unhappy. Now that their wealth and lives are in Wang Guorui's hands, they are naturally very worried. Like this kind of feudal bureaucrats, everything about them is centered on power, not on legal thought. They all serve for the sake of power, so they chose to take refuge in Wang Guorui. Naturally, they obeyed Wang Guorui's orders in everything, and they would not disobey any orders from Wang Guorui, the new master. They also thought in their hearts that once they lost Wang Guorui's trust, they would all be lost forever.

After Song Na left ~lightnovelpub.net~ Li Guodong immediately asked: "Master Wang, why did you give them such good conditions?"

"Hehe, it is impossible for us to enter the mainland, so everything is shouting and killing, right? So we must leave a way for those guys, otherwise they will not be willing to surrender. Especially when we are based on When we are not stable, we must let those guys see hope, so that they will not tear us down from behind our backs. We still have to fight against the foreign devils, and we can't spare them for the time being. But if we push them too close, Then maybe they will collude with foreigners and deal with us together. At that time, I feel that I will really face the enemy, and it is really not worth it. So we have to give them some hope, hang them, and make them afraid to fight with us. Collusion of foreigners. The most important thing for people is hope, if they have no hope at all, they will go crazy. We still have to focus on national and ethnic conflicts, and some of these conflicts can be put aside temporarily." Wang Guorui said.

However, Wang Guorui's effect was good. Those Manchu bureaucrats thought they had gained hope, so they all began to persuade Yuan Shikai to surrender as soon as possible, and then sign an agreement. They have completely forgotten about the Qing Dynasty now, anyway, they are going to seek refuge with Wang Guorui, and then turn their huge wealth from corruption into "whitewashing" money, and they can also let their descendants join Wang Guorui's new court can also guarantee his wealth in this way. Of course, they had to be busy with their performance, hoping to gain Wang Guorui's attention. (To be continued.)
