Chapter 718: Generations of Slaves

However, perhaps ordinary people don't know what Wang Guorui's move is for, this is completely killing two birds with one stone! Wang Guorui denied his enemies and denied that his enemies were legitimate governments, which was regarded as erecting himself as a heroic image of expelling the invaders and discrediting the old dynasty. In this way, Wang Guorui has also changed from a usurper to a hero who expels the invaders. You must know that some people have commented that the most orthodox person who has won the throne since ancient times is nothing more than the Ming Dynasty, because Zhu Yuanzhang obtained the throne only after expelling the invaders, so he is the most orthodox.

And Wang Guorui has gone through such a "great shift", and directly changed himself from a usurper to an expellant invader, so he can also enjoy the same treatment as Zhu Yuanzhang.

As for those Western ministers, their faces turned dark, because Wang Guorui's words directly took their salaries from them. The unequal treaties of various countries were also signed by the Manchu Qing, and the Manchus signed them originally wanted to force Wang Guorui to continue to implement them. Even if they can't continue to enforce it, they must be compensated sufficiently. But Wang Guorui played such a hand, which can be said to be a direct draw from the bottom of the kettle. If Wang Guorui inherited the so-called legal system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, then he would inevitably have to assume the responsibility for the treaties signed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Western countries could blackmail Wang Guorui for this. However, Wang Guorui directly denied the legitimate orthodoxy of the Manchu Qing and defined the Manchus as invaders and bandits. And he is a person who fights back against aggression and a person who fights back against robbers, so he naturally has no need to take responsibility for everything that the robbers do. Just like if a person is robbed of wealth, then the robber takes the robbed wealth to mortgage and sell, then this wealth does not mean that it is also the robber's. And as the real owner of the goods, he is not obliged to pay the debts of the robbers, and no country has this reason.

So Wang Guorui played this set, which not only directly separated himself from the Manchu Qing from the root. He was no longer the heir to the Manchus. As for those treaties signed by the Manchus and other countries, Wang Guorui did not directly "deny" them, Wang Guorui did not "deny" those treaties, anyway, those treaties were signed by the Manchus themselves, and you Western countries have unjust debts and owners, so you go directly to the Manchus to ask for debts. It was the Manchu "legal person" who owed you the debt. What he owes you, go to him yourselves and ask for it. And Wang Guorui, as the real owner and real owner of this house, has no obligation to repay the debt for another "person", especially the other party or a robber who once robbed his things, so Wang Guorui successfully separated himself from the Manchu Qing Dynasty. And once he and the Manchus were separated, the unequal treaties signed by the Manchus were also the affairs of the Manchus themselves, the affairs of the Manchus, the "legal person", and had nothing to do with Wang Guorui, the new "legal person".

"Minister Zhu Erdian, what do you think we should do?" Shi Alan asked.

Zhu Erdian: Of course, he is not a fool. Of course, he knew that Wang Guorui's hand was playing beautifully. Directly defined the Manchus as aggressors, and although he did not deny the so-called unequal treaties, he would never pay their debts for them. If Wang Guorui directly accepted the Manchu concessions, but then refused to fulfill the Manchu treaty, or simply abolished the treaty, then Zhu Erdian can be sure that those capitalists and politicians in China will also take the initiative to propose a war against China together, and Wang Guorui will pay the price.

But Wang Guorui played this game, which is equivalent to him stripping himself from the Manchu Qing. And the Manchus are not all the way. And they are two different "legal persons", and there is no inheritance relationship between them. Therefore, Wang Guorui naturally does not have the so-called obligation of "repayment of father's debts and sons".

"This kingdom, although it has not abolished those treaties, it is equivalent to the de facto abolition!" Zhu Erdian smiled bitterly.

The treaties signed by those countries and the Manchu Qing Dynasty were based on the legal system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Wang Guorui now refuses to inherit the legal system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so naturally they have to bear it themselves. Wang Guorui did not overstep his bounds to abolish the treaty on behalf of the Manchus. And then the debts owed by these treaties in the future were also borne by the Manchu "legal person".

"Look, wait a minute, Wang Guorui must have a follow-up move, he may not directly destroy this Manchu Qing, and when the time comes, he will directly push the Manchu Qing out to fight the thunder. Responsible for prevaricating us! Zhu Erdian said.

Sure enough, someone immediately asked: "Lord Wang, what will happen to the Qing Dynasty next?" The Qing court, do we want to annex it? ”

Wang Guorui said indifferently: "This Qing court, if they want to exist, let him exist, I don't have the idea of completely destroying the Qing Dynasty." And the Qing will continue to assume his responsibilities next, and then they will continue to exist. And they, Emperor Guangxu, will continue to be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Of course, this Qing Empire will be an emperor of the Qing Empire with no territory, no people, no officials, and only him. His descendants will inherit the identity of the Qing Emperor, but there will not be a people, no land, no servants, and no taxes, so this Qing Empire will be able to take away a purse! ”

Just like a so-called leather bag company, Wang Guorui did not intend to directly destroy the so-called "Great Qing Whispering", but let him leave only an empty title, that is, the title of "Emperor" of the Great Qing Empire with only one empty head left. And the emperor of the Qing Empire did not have any territory, people, officials, taxes, etc., they were just an empty title. And the meaning of his existence, that is, an empire of existence, he will continue to bear the "arrears" that he has signed.

As for Wang Guorui, he will not annex this so-called "Great Qing", because he knows that if he annexes this Great Qing, then he will continue to bear the follow-up responsibility for all those treaties for him. He will naturally not be so stupid, naturally he will not be so stupid to annex him, and the treaty he signed will let Guangxu, the last emperor of the Qing Empire, bear it himself. Anyway, no matter whether he can bear it or not, he has to bear it himself. If Guangxu dies, then this "leather bag empire" can also declare "bankruptcy" by itself, and no one wants to take over, he will see that it will be done himself.

"This Wang Guorui, it's really insidious! It's the first time I've seen this kind of play, and his way of playing is simply despicable! Zhu Erdian said.

But Shi Alan said: "Minister Zhu Erdian, we can't let him play like this, we must let him take over the Manchu legal system, and then we can force them to continue to bear those obligations!" ”

"Do we have a way? If our power is far superior to his, you can naturally play with us. And he is so shameless now, but his power is not less than ours. How many troops do we need to completely defeat them? Million? Million? Oh my God, if millions of troops were to be transported from Europe, we would be crazy! Zhu Erdian smiled bitterly.

Zhu Erdian is really helpless, Wang Guorui is not the weak Manchu Qing, so naturally he will not accept the persecution of Western countries so easily. If Wang Guorui doesn't give face and directly abolishes the treaty, then they will all face a very embarrassing situation. At that time, the war faction and the anti-war faction in their own country will naturally quarrel, and they will have to make a problem of their own when the time comes. However, Wang Guorui used this method to separate himself from the Manchu Qing, so that Wang Guorui would naturally not inherit the Manchu legal system. And Wang Guorui did not announce the abolition of the treaty, that is, he just let the Manchus bear their own debts, and in the future, most of the indemnities of those countries were borne by the Manchus themselves, and their debts were all asked to go to Guangxu, the last "emperor" of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, to ask for debts.

And in this case, it is tantamount to giving countries a step down and not directly clashing with them. If Wang Guorui directly announced the abolition of the treaty, it would be tantamount to a direct conflict between himself and Western countries. However, after these so-called "debt stripping" methods, he and the Manchu Qing Dynasty were separated, and Wang Guorui successfully stripped all those "debts" to the Manchu Qing, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty would become a buffer zone between the Western countries and Wang Guorui, and then become a buffer zone between the two sides on these unequal treaties.

When the time comes, those Western countries will go to Guangxu and his descendants to ask for debts. And Guangxu and his descendants may not know how many thousands of years it will take to repay this debt!

"Hahahaha, I hope this guy Guangxu can pay off this debt as soon as possible. It's exciting to think about it, at that time, Western countries came to Guangxu to force debts, and then Guangxu and his descendants were unable to pay off the debt. Since how many debts you owe back then, I don't know how much money you have to bear all kinds of debts, such as thousands of taels of silver! Perhaps, the descendants of this guy Guangxu will not be able to replace such a large amount of national debts for hundreds of generations. Don't you really want to be this emperor? I'll let you be, and let you repay the debts of this 'Qing Empire' for generations." Wang Guorui thought with a wicked smile in his heart.

There is no better way to retaliate against the Manchu Emperor than this, and if you don't treat us Chinese as slaves, then I will also put you on a debt that you will not be able to pay off for hundreds of generations. At that time, I am afraid that you will be eager to hang yourself, and maybe you will have to become this "debt slave" for generations. Although this method did not directly deprive him of his status as a natural person, it was enough to make their family slave to Western countries for eternity because of such a huge debt.
