Chapter 218 Insufficient specifications!

Liu Yongfu and Luo Mingfang took out silver and weapons from the Taipei treasury and went to Changhua and Keelung separately. Today's Zhangjun is not short of guns or silver. After the surrender of the Japanese army in Taiwan, a large amount of weapons, ammunition and money were left in Keelung, Taipei. These materials were originally used to strengthen the colonial rule of Taiwan, but now they have become the starting capital for Zhou Charter to rebuild Taiwan.

Tang Cai often returned to Shanghai with his own army and continued to secretly carry out the maintenance and royalist movement. At this time, the domestic reform movement was in full swing. Kang Youwei was in Shanghai and Liang Qichao was in Hunan, promoting the reform and improvement. Huang Zunxian of Shanghai Daotai and Chen Baozhen, the governor of Hunan, are all capable men of the Weixin Party. They use their power to promote the Weixin movement in the jurisdiction. In the court, the Qing school, originally led by Weng Tongyu, also completely turned to the Weixin Party and became the microphone of the Weixin Party.

The Qing Dynasty set off a wave of reform and improvement. For a while, reform and reform seems to have become a general trend in the world. The princes and ministers in Beijing must reform. It seems that they can't keep up with fashion without talking about reform. The Qing court also had to make a reformed and improved posture and invited Tang Youwei to enter the court for consultation.

Even foreigners think that the people of the Weixin Party are in the limelight, and the change of the Weixin is imperative.

Tang Cai often got the money and weapons given by Zhou Charter, expanded his own army in Shanghai, and soon pulled up a team of more than 2,000 people.

Tang Cai is often a loyal believer of Kang Youwei. Unlike Liang Qichao, he is a radical member of the Weixin Party. Kang Youwei and Tang Cai often believe that the new change must be led by the emperor, from top to bottom, and carried out throughout the country. This requires Emperor Guangxu to completely get rid of the constraints of the Manchu Conservative Party led by Empress Dowager Cixi and realize the arbitrariness of the universe. And the Empress Dowager Cixi cannot peacefully hand over power. Therefore, Kang Youwei and Tang Cai often decided to follow the practice of Japan's Meiji Restoration, lead their own army into Beijing, launch a coup, completely eradicate conservative forces including Cixi with iron-blooded policies, and assist Emperor Guangxu with the Restoration Party members to carry out the Restoration.

Tang Cai often faithfully implements Kang Youwei's proposition, but after all, his strength is limited. After several years of preparation, he only pulled up a team of more than 100 people. His strength is too weak to be out of reach. Now, after receiving the financial support of Zhou Charter, the self-supporting army has grown rapidly, now. With his own armed forces, Kang Youwei finally has the confidence to show his ambition.

Therefore, Kang Youwei is very grateful to Zhou Charter and full of hope for Zhou Charter. He even believed that Zhou Charter's gift of weapons and silver to Tang Caichang showed that he had stood on the side of the newists. Kang Youwei even planned it. Once the time was ripe, Tang Caichang led his own army to launch a military coup in Beijing. Zhou Charter led the army and the court to form a situation of oppression, which should be combined inside and outside, and the first battle was successful!

Compared with the scenery of the people of the New Progressive Party, the revolutionary party is extremely difficult. In fact, at the end of the 19th century, the revolution and the revolution were two different forces. When the idea of innovation flourished, the revolutionary thought became more isolated. Revolution is a bloodshed, while reform is a gentle improvement. Since there is always a need for change, people will naturally choose a bloodless reform.

Therefore, the domestic innovation movement is booming, while the revolutionaries abroad are in a low ebb. After Qiu Jin returned to Japan, many students studying in Japan threw themselves into the embrace of the Weixin Party. Even overseas Chinese began to doubt Sun Wen's revolutionary ideas. After all, it was too expensive to overthrow the imperial system and rebuild a new China on the ruins!

Because they did not get the support of the people, the revolutionaries were struggling, and their activities at home almost all stopped. Overseas, their voices were also overwhelmed by the in full swing of the innovation movement!

However, Sun Wen and Qiu Jin are still full of hope for Zhou Charter. Sun Wen knew that in the bones of Zhou Charter, he had already completely lost confidence in the Qing Dynasty. The rise and fall of Zhang Jun has shown that even if the court succeeds in the new revolution, it still cannot tolerate the next charter.

Besides, Zhou Charter sent Qiu Jin and Tang Caichang away and breathed a sigh of relief. Taiwan has just experienced a war, and it is waiting to rise, and it can no longer withstand the toss. The two factions have left Taiwan. The thoughts of the Taiwanese people and Zhang's officers and soldiers will not be chaotic. Everyone can calm down and do a good job in economic construction. When everyone's life is good, we will consider political issues.

As soon as Zhou Charter returned to the governor's mansion, Luo Mingfang and Hannagan hurriedly followed.

Japanese negotiators have arrived at Keelung Port and asked to discuss Okinawa with Taiwan's highest military and political chief. Guo Erwan and Li Guoge occupied Ryukyu, and the soldiers pointed directly at Kyushu Island in Japan. The Japanese had difficulty sleeping and eating.

Before that, Zhou Charter and Liu Yongfu played a oboe. Zhou Charter, in the name of the Prime Minister of the Qing Dynasty, appointed Liu Yongfu as the governor of Taiwan. At the same time, he appointed more than 20 local gentry in Taiwan, including Qiu Pengjia and Wu Pengnian, as magistrates, magistrates and other magistrates in Taiwan.

Liu Yongfu submitted a petition signed by 10,000 people to the imperial court, requesting the court to appoint Zhou Charter as the governor of Taiwan.

The Qing Dynasty has not officially replied to this. However, Zhou Charter has taken office and became the governor of Taiwan, that is, the highest military and political officer of Taiwan. In fact, neither Zhang's officers nor the Taiwanese people paid attention to the imperial court. No matter how the court replied, Zhou Charter, the governor, was determined. Zhou Charter and Liu Yongfu's seal is actually just to convey a message to the people that Taiwan is not an independent kingdom, but a part of China!

Zhou Charter asked, "Who is their negotiator?"

"It's Foreign Minister Lu Ao Zongguang." Luo Mingfang said.

"Real?" Zhou Charter sneered: "That means that the Japanese regard Taiwan as an independent country on an equal footing with Japan!"

"It can be said." Hannagan said: "From a legal point of view, Zhang Jun is still the army of the Qing Dynasty. Zhang Jun's occupation of Ryukyu should be the occupation of Ryukyu by the Qing Dynasty. According to this logic, their Ministry of Foreign Affairs should negotiate with the imperial court of the Qing Dynasty, and now, their representatives leave the imperial court and come directly to Taiwan, which is to regard Taiwan as an independent country.

Zhou Charter pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Hannagan, what will the West think if Taiwan is independent?"

Hannagan thought for a moment and said, "This world is originally a world of the jungle. If General Zhou has enough strength, I think the West will admit it. After all, what Western countries seek is economic interests. They will not have territorial claims on Taiwan like the Japanese.

Luo Mingfang said, "Brother, in this case, let's just..."

"What!" Zhou Charter interrupted Luo Mingfang's words: "If I become the second Zheng Chenggong, I will be a sinner forever!" Zhou Charter came from the 21st century. He knew that if Taiwan was really separated from the mainland, there would be endless disasters. Taiwan's split from the mainland would be a national disaster! Even if Zhou Charter can get the support of the people now, a hundred years later, he will still be cursed for thousands of years!

The Japanese are playing tricks. They are sovoking discord and encouraging Zhou Charter to leave China. Once Taiwan is separated from mainland China, the Japanese will have the opportunity to get back what they want!

The Qing court was cowardly and incompetent, but at present, it is still China's legitimate central government. Zhou Charter does not want to bear the eternal reputation of a divided country. In order to maintain national unity, he must maintain the face of the Qing Dynasty.

Zhou Charter said, "Go and tell Lu Ao Zongguang that he has found the wrong person to negotiate. He should go to the prime minister's government of the Qing Dynasty to submit a letter."

"Brother, Ryukyu was beaten down by us, and it's too unfair to let the court pick up the peaches on the ground." Luo Mingfang is not convinced.

"Of course, you can't let the court pick up peaches!" Zhou Charter laughed and said, "Ryukyu is in the hands of our Zhangjun, and the court can't pick up this peach. We just give the court a face and let the court accept the Japanese's negotiation letter. As for who will talk to the Japanese, the court should understand who dares to negotiate with the Japanese except my Zhangjun! They don't count when they talk!"

Luo Mingfang understood this: "Big brother is right. The court can only appoint you to be a plenipotentiary negotiator."

Zhou Charter nodded: "This is also a little color for the Japanese. Damn, it's not that easy to talk about it if you want! Let them go to Beijing for a big circle first.

Ryukyu is in the hands of Zhang Jun. Zhou Charter is not in a hurry, but the Japanese are anxious. During the First Sino-Japanese War, the Qing Dynasty sent Zhang Menghuan and Shao Youlian to Hiroshima to negotiate with the Japanese, which was rejected by the Japanese arrogantly. Now, Zhou Charter will also let the Japanese taste this.

Hannagan sighed, "If the court treats you like that, you still have to protect the face of the court."

"What I defend is not the face of the Qing Dynasty, but the unity of the country!" Zhou Charter said, "Luo Mingfang, you can tell the Japanese Lu Ao Zongguang that his specifications are not enough! If you want to negotiate, you have to replace it.

"He is the foreign minister, and the official is not small." Luo Mingfang said.

"When it comes to the sovereignty of Ryukyu, a foreign minister can't make the decision." Zhou Charter said, "Let their Prime Minister Hirofumi Ito come! Otherwise, nothing will be discussed!"

"Yes!" Luo Mingfang turned around and wanted to leave.

"Hold on, you tell Lu Ao Zongguang that it's the end of the year. Zhou Charter is very busy and doesn't have time to negotiate next year."

"Brother, what are you busy with?" Luo Mingfang asked.

"Isn't Taiwan making the Japanese a mess? Isn't it enough for me to be busy for a while?" Zhou Charter said, "What's more, I'm going to North Korea immediately. Luo Mingfang, North Korea is also the territory of our Zhangjun! I have to see how Park Yonglie and Feng Guozhang are doing.
