Li Jingfang left for a while, and Li Hongzhang actually pulled Li Jingfang to come to Wang Guorui's Tainan Mansion again.

"Leader Wang, Xiao'er didn't know the situation just now, so he was offended, and I asked Leader Wang not to mind. As for Taiwan's next fate, then we can continue to talk slowly, and don't make a fuss because of the child's momentary confusion! Li Hongzhang said.

Li Hongzhang is more sensible than his son, so after he learned about the situation, he also took the initiative to apologize to Wang Guorui, hoping not to completely cut off the idea of Taiwan's return to the mainland. After all, if Taiwan is not able to return to the mainland, then I am afraid that Li Hongzhang and his son Li Jingfang will also have to bear a lot of domestic pressure. Now that the Japanese army has been defeated, Taiwan should be returned to the mainland as a matter of course, so that Li Hongzhang's previous idea can be regarded as fulfilled.

However, Li Hongzhang knows that things are not so simple, because Taiwan is now under Wang Guorui's control, even if Wang Guorui wants to establish himself as a country, it is reasonable and legal. And those idiots in China, who have not been exposed to international law, naturally think that once the Japanese army is defeated, it is natural to return. However, Li Hongzhang knows whether Taiwan will return or not, that is, it depends on Wang Guorui's intentions alone, and no one else can decide. But his son actually angered Wang Guorui just now, and let Wang Guorui hit the holy decree with a pistol. In this way, it is a complete fall out with the court, if you don't make up for it, then Wang Guorui will really be independent at that time, so what should I do?

If Wang Guorui becomes independent in Taiwan by then, the Manchu court will not have the slightest way. Because the troops are not opponents to attack, Wang Guorui can even defeat the Japanese, so how can he not defeat them? Moreover, the British Minister to China, Dou Nale, also told Li Hongzhang that the British army could not have the confidence to defeat Wang Guorui without more than ten times the army. And when he heard the British say this, Li Hongzhang completely gave up the idea of sending troops to attack. After all, the British had to be ten times more to be able to defeat, so didn't the Manchus need at least a hundred times? Could it be that sending six million troops to conquer Taiwan is simply a joke. So now Li Hongzhang can only appease Wang Guorui, hoping that Wang Guorui will not rebel against independence, so that the face of the so-called court of the Qing Dynasty can be passed. But now his son is so stupid, which directly angers Wang Guorui. This obviously makes things worse.

"Hmph, I'm not going to bother with a pig!" Wang Guorui said.

"You—" Li Jingfang was so angry that he couldn't speak.

However, soon Li Jingfang immediately said: "Wang Guorui, you have to think clearly, your relatives of the nine clans are all in our continent. Your father is dead, but you have an older brother and a mother. Your brother and sister-in-law, as well as your nephews and nieces are also in Fujian, our mainland. You are from Fujian, so your family is in Quanzhou, Fujian. If you dare to disobey the orders of the imperial court, raise an army to rebel. Then your family will also be exterminated by the imperial court. The mainland, after all, is our world. I advise you to accept the arrangement of the imperial court, otherwise your family will be killed! I've sent a message to the people of the country to take care of your family, so you have to think about it. ”

Wang Guorui's face flashed with a hint of anger, but he quickly calmed down. And this Li Jingfang actually threatened his so-called family, which is actually of no use to Wang Guorui. Because Wang Guorui is a traverser, he directly crossed over to Wang Guorui, who is already the magistrate of Taiwan. In this way, he didn't have much affection for Wang Guorui's family, so he threatened his so-called family. This effect is almost equal to no effect at all. Li Jingfang: This is a miscalculation.

And the reason why Wang Guorui is so angry is because Li Jingfang is so shameless, and he actually uses his family to threaten him. This kind of method is very indiscriminate, and it was actually used by Li Jingfang on the negotiating table, which is obviously immoral. And with such a diplomat, it is no wonder that the Manchus will fail repeatedly. Serious means will not be used. It's just that they will use such a subordinate, and they don't even understand the basic attempts of diplomacy, so with such stupid diplomats, it is strange that the court does not fail.

I don't even know a little bit of diplomatic common sense and basic rules, but I just know the domestic set. Use your family as a threat. This kind of method is a very unfashionable thing in diplomacy, and it is of no use at all. However, they use it against their own people, and once they have no room for such means in the international arena, they will naturally not be able to use them. They do not understand the shape of the international community, and stubbornly use their own domestic means to measure foreign exchanges, can this not fail? Now this Li Jingfang is actually using this kind of means to grab his family as a threat, isn't this his poor donkey skills? This method was very hated, but he actually used it for himself, which is enough to show that the Manchu officials had no idea of foreign exchanges at all. They usually don't dare to use this kind of means against foreigners, but they dare to do so against Wang Guorui, a native. This has to be said to be a sorrow, a sorrow that is strict inside and wide outside. This kind of guy, I don't expect them to revive the country at all.

"Let me think about it! Drop-off! Wang Guorui said.

And after Li Hongzhang went out, he immediately began to say to his son: "Jingfang, why do you want to do this? Don't you know that doing so will anger that Wang Guorui? ”

"Father, I'm afraid this Wang Guorui is going to betray the court, so if I don't give him some powerful ones, then I'm afraid he will really betray!" Li Jingfang said.

And Li Hongzhang immediately hated iron and steel, and said: "Jingfang, you must know that any hero will never care about his family." Liu Bang's father was arrested by Xiang Yu back then, so how did he answer, that is, to bring him a cup of meat soup. And since Wang Guorui is already determined to betray the court, where does he care about his family. First of all, his parents have died, so naturally there is no need to worry. The so-called brother and sister-in-law and nephews and nieces are even less favorable. Therefore, not only will your threats not work, but will completely anger Wang Guorui and make things worse! So, I'm afraid that your method is not very useful, but it has completely angered that Wang Guorui,"

And Wang Guorui was also very angry immediately, and said angrily: "Li Jingfang, it's really shameless, you actually use this method to play with me!" ”

Wang Guorui is not a native of Taiwan, but a native of Fujian. He has lived in Fujian since he was a child, and naturally he has a family in Fujian. So now that Li Jingfang is using his family as a threat, then this Wang Guorui really has no good way. Especially since his brother and sister-in-law are in Fujian, they are naturally exposed to the control of the Manchu Qing Dynasty at any time. Although Wang Guorui doesn't care much, it doesn't mean that his subordinates don't care.

If Wang Guorui does something that doesn't care about his brother, sister-in-law, nephews, nieces, and mother, then I'm afraid Wang Guorui's subordinates will also mumble, what a cool person Wang Guorui is! At that time, everyone will also doubt that if something happens, will Wang Guorui give up on himself? A person who can even give up his own relatives, isn't it very normal for him to abandon his subordinates? So once everyone starts to wonder, will it be to start muttering, then Wang Guorui Ke is very dangerous.

Therefore, Wang Guorui must care about his family, so that people can know that he cares about his family. Although Wang Guorui doesn't care too much about his family emotionally, he must care about politics and politics, otherwise he will definitely be suspected by his subordinates. If a person doesn't even care about his mother, then how cold his character is, then what kind of discipline is there in this way? When the time comes, will your subordinates still follow you as a leader?

"Tanya, let's go this time! You go to Quanzhou and bring my brother and sister-in-law back! As long as I can bring my brother and sister-in-law back, then naturally no one can threaten me. This Li Jingfang is really shameless, if you save my family, then don't blame me for attacking him. Wang Guorui said.

This time, Wang Guorui must save his so-called family members, otherwise it will be too cold. No one likes to follow a cool leader, after all, no one wants to be given up by the leader one day. If Wang Guorui can even give up his family, then I am afraid he will not reassure his subordinates. Ruthlessness is an element of great achievement. However, this element cannot be exposed to others, and you must pretend to be affectionate and righteous in front of others, so that you can fool those people to sell your life.

As for Li Jingfang, a despicable villain, Wang Guorui will definitely clean him up ruthlessly, and if he doesn't let him take off his skin, Wang Guorui will be a prince in vain. If this kind of villain dares to bully himself, then I'm afraid that everyone will dare to do something to themselves in the future, so is it okay? Therefore, Li Jingfang had to clean up, and he didn't have to give Li Hongzhang face, so he cleaned it up directly. Li Hongzhang is nothing, a toothless tiger. And Wang Guorui is a prince, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and those Manchu bureaucrats in the Qing Dynasty can't do anything to him.

As for the threat from the relatives of the nine clans, Wang Guorui would not care. At most, Wang Guorui can save his relatives who are close to his blood, and those who are far away don't care, they can go as they please! Anyway, the people of the Manchu Qing should also know that these relatives of distant blood are no threat to Wang Guorui, and killing them will make the Manchus lose their reputation for benevolence and righteousness, so the Manchus should not be stupid.
