Chapter 139: thirsty for talent

France, Paris, in this bustling city, there is also an unknown dark side. In a gloomy street, someone is conducting a transaction.

"China Li, we have already got what you want. Your Taiwan governor told me that he could get an international student, and he would give us five silver dollars for those with a junior high school degree, twenty silver dollars for a high school degree, and one hundred silver dollars for a university degree. There are five people with a college degree, 25 people with a high school degree, and 74 people with a junior high school degree, totaling more than 1,300 silver dollars. We don’t want the rest of the change, so you can give us one Thirteen hundred silver dollars is enough. We can cooperate happily next time!" A man with an obvious Western face said to a Chinese.

And the Chinese immediately said: "Okay, these are silver dollars, please keep them."

And the person with a Western face said: "In order to get these people to go to Taiwan, I will inevitably use some special means. They may be very disgusted with you, so you can see for yourself."

"Okay, then we will solve it ourselves!" China Li said.

When the transaction was over, the Chinese Li immediately sighed and said: "Finally completed the task assigned by Mr. Wang. These people are all overseas students. Mr. Wang asked me to recruit them and get them to Taiwan at all costs." Well, this is really not easy. Those who are passionate will be fooled back by that advertisement, but those who want to join the central court are not so easy to fool. It seems that they can only use special means. These French also have This kind of gang, they will help us kidnap them for any money. Then as long as they charter a boat, they can go back to Taiwan to receive the reward from Mr. Wang."

That's right, Wang Guorui ordered his subordinates to make double preparations. One hand is to publish advertisements, promote Taiwan, and then attract talents. But on the other hand, Wang Guorui also used violent means to recruit talents. He first cooperated with figures from foreign underground societies, and then asked them, local tyrants, to help search for those Chinese students and overseas Chinese students. Then set a high price. Give benefits to those gangsters in the underground society according to different educational levels, and then ask them to help them collect these Chinese students, and finally hand them over to representatives sent by Wang Guorui's General Intelligence Agency to charter a ship and send them back.

As for whether these foreign students are willing, that is up to them. Anyway, Wang Guorui is very hungry for talents now. Especially those international students who have seen the world, they must get it. If these international students are allowed to return to the mainland government after completing their studies, isn't that a waste? Based on the virtues of the Manchu government in mainland China, I am afraid that these overseas students will not be reused at all, and these overseas students may later be on the road to revolution. Instead of going to revolution and sacrificing young lives. It is better to follow Wang Guorui to build Taiwan, then develop industry, reform society and so on. Wouldn't it be better to do this than to lose your usefulness to a meaningless uprising? Therefore, Wang Guorui directly packed up and kidnapped them by coercive means. Anyway, they had to be kidnapped and returned to Taiwan first. As for whether they were willing to serve, that was another matter.

However, on the other hand, Yu Geng, the Manchu Qing envoy to France, also received notes from the French.

"Mr. Minister, if you Chinese want to recall the overseas students, you can ask the government to order it yourself. Why do you need to use such indecent means? Recently, we have received a lot of kidnapping cases in Paris. The kidnapping targets are all your Chinese international students. There are also overseas Chinese. But after careful investigation, we found that these kidnappings were carried out by our local gangs. However, after in-depth investigation by our police, these gangs were ordered by your Chinese officials to bribe our gangs. If you If you want to recall the overseas students, you can do it in a fair and aboveboard way, why do you need such indiscriminate means? Your means have seriously affected the security of our France."

The Manchu envoys stationed in France also felt a little speechless when they saw this scene, and they didn't know what was going on. The staff of the French diplomatic department handed over the relevant investigation report to Yu Geng, and Yu Geng saw the criminal investigation report, and found that everything in the end was caused by Taiwan's Wang Guorui. Actually instructed those gangs to kidnap Chinese students and send them back to Taiwan. As for the kidnapping of these foreign students, the purpose is to get the lice on the monk's forehead, it's obvious. Wang Guorui has just now taken control of one side. There are not many talents in Antu, so Wang Guorui naturally set his sights on those foreign students. Those international students have seen the world and have achieved a lot of achievements, so they are considered talents.

Before that, Wang Guorui advertised in major newspapers all over the world, calling on foreign students to return to Taiwan to serve him. Yu Geng also knew about it, and those who really left immediately at that time were impulsive. However, there are still many people who are relatively calm. There is no choice to take the initiative to "throw yourself into the trap". So Wang Guorui made two preparations, the other was to use this shady method to kidnap the ticket, and then send it back to Taiwan, so he couldn't help such a young student studying abroad. However, Wang Guorui also believed that after seeing such good conditions, these international students would definitely be tempted to stay in Taiwan to work. After all, Taiwan is much better than the mainland.

"This rebellion! The imperial court has cultivated so many foreign students, but now they are caught up by this Taiwan rebellion. It is really unreasonable. When these foreign students return to China, they will inevitably be rebellious. Then they will be my enemy of the Qing Dynasty. Ah!" Yu Geng snorted.

After all, Yu Geng is a Manchu, so he was naturally very angry at Wang Guorui's behavior of robbing talent from the central government. In his eyes, Wang Guorui, the Taiwan Special Administrative Region, is completely splitting the country, and it is completely justifiable separatism. But he is in France and has no way to influence Taiwan. And now Taiwan has extended its hand to France to **** the resources of foreign students, which makes Yu Geng extremely angry.

"Father, who are you angry with?" asked a little girl about ten years old.

Yu Geng immediately said, "Except for the rebel in Taiwan, who else could there be?"

"Isn't that the hero who fought against the Japanese pirates?" The little girl asked with stars in her eyes.

"Hmph, hero? Hero, then why didn't he obey the court's command, why did he want to separate himself from one side? He is simply supporting the army to rebel, what else can he have?" Yu Geng said.

But the little girl immediately took the initiative to argue for Wang Guorui: "Not necessarily! Maybe he has some unavoidable difficulties!"

"De Ling, what on earth are you thinking? You are obviously a banner man, why did you rebel against that Han man?" Yu Geng asked.

And the little girl named De Ling shook her head and said, "Forget it, father, let's talk about something else! This time, Governor Wang Guorui sent people to France to kidnap these foreign students, so is he thirsty for talents?"

"Ha, I'm really thirsty for talents!" Yu Geng said viciously.

Yu Geng deliberately added the accent on the words "seeking talents if thirsty", obviously to sneer at Wang Guorui's behavior. Wang Guorui lacks talents, this and that should be an active and gentle invitation, but Wang Guorui actually directly kidnapped him, this is incredible. Many of these international students are Yu Geng's favorite people, and Yu Geng hopes that they can serve the court after returning to China. But now they are all kidnapped by Wang Guorui, and now Yu Geng's plan has completely failed.

Yu Geng has never seen such a scoundrel. He obviously needs talents, but he doesn't want to spend a lot of money or use various gentle methods to recruit them. He actually uses this method of kidnapping to recruit people. It really does not conform to the traditional thinking of literati. . Traditional literati always hope to let the "Ming Zhu" visit the thatched cottage three times, and then they are aggrieved and subdued. But Wang Guorui doesn't play this game, you have to come if you come, and you have to come if you don't come, anyway, it's a two-pronged approach, if you can't be soft, you can come hard. This is simply catching high-level slaves, which is really unimaginable.

"Hmph, it's fine for him to arrest the Han Chinese, but he doesn't even let our Bannerman overseas students go. The Bannerman will never take refuge in him, a rebellious one~www.readwn.com~What's the use of him arresting him?" Yu Geng said.

But De Ling said: "Father, since you say he is rebellious, then he should arrest the bannermen. After all, the bannermen will serve the court in the future. If he lets these bannermen go back, isn't he letting us Has the imperial court acquired talent?"

If Wang Guorui knew what this little girl De Ling said, he would immediately praise her for being very smart. Wang Guorui really thought so, because he not only arrested the Han students, but even those who were satisfied. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court would also support some Manchu people to shed blood, so as to enrich their own Manchu strength. However, their results, except for a very small part, are unlikely to be very good. But now Wang Guorui's appetite is so great that both Han Chinese and Manchus are also arrested. As for whether those Manchus are willing to take refuge in themselves, that is one thing. But if they were allowed to return to China and take refuge in the central court, wouldn't that be adding talents to the central court of the Manchu Qing Dynasty?

Based on the principle of eating an enemy with one stone and treating me as twenty stones, Wang Guorui captured them first, so that the foreign students trained by the Manchu Qing Dynasty who spent a lot of money became Wang Guorui's pocket. This kind of method of poaching the wall can really save those training costs. You must know that Man Qing never spent less money for these foreign students! Now Wang Guorui waited for them to come over to pick peaches after they finished their studies. (To be continued.) xh118
