Zhang Yi has really let go of what he is thinking about now, and has begun to think about Li Hongzhang's problem, the old guy has an unusual temper, and he is stubborn, and it is too difficult to change his mind.

Zhang Yi invited Zhang Peilun over: "Brother Youqiao, now Lao Zhongtang is in Anhui to support the elderly, and now it is a time when the political situation is chaotic, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Lao Zhongtang to get out of the matter; Second, Yuan Shikai has already annexed Sheng Xuanhuai and Yang Shixiang, both of whom have already taken refuge in Lao Yuan, and I am afraid that Yuan Shikai will be unfavorable to Lao Zhongtang next. ”

Zhang Peilun was stunned for a moment and replied: "Jianzhi will not do anything, Yuan Shikai is also born in Beiyang, and he has not lost the favor of Lao Zhongtang, but Lao Zhongtang is the most optimistic about Beiyang and Yuan Xiangcheng, how can he take revenge?" ”

Zhang Yi smiled bitterly: "That Brother Youqiao and Yuan Xiangcheng have a grudge, go to Tianjin to invite Yan to come back to the mountain, Yuan Shikai sent three battalions of men and horses, and he wants to be put to death, at the beginning, Shandong was rescued from the hands of the Japanese army in the first battle, and he helped him, but I am afraid that he will be wiped out by the Japanese army a long time ago, and he will take revenge?" ”

Zhang Peilun smiled: "Jianzhi's sentence is not good, I ran to other people's Tianjin territory to dig up the corner of Lao Yuan's wall, no wonder people are unwilling to clean it up, Yan Fu, and Corporal Yuan Shikai, the first person in the navy today, tried his best to bring Yan Fu to his side, and he was dug away in a few words, even if he has to hold a grudge!" ”

Zhang Yi's face turned red, and he smiled twice and replied: "Brother Youqiao, now you can't reveal the bottom of the old day, Yan Fu can't do anything in Tianjin, look at it, when you come to Fengtian, you can do things immediately, and a naval university is thrown like this." Also, Yuan Shikai is ambitious, but I am afraid that he will not live under the people for a long time, as long as Lao Zhongtang is in the customs for a day, he will not be able to toss, think about it, now that Lao Zhongtang has returned to his hometown, can Yuan Shikai let go of such an opportunity? ”

Zhang Peilun's face stiffened and he replied slowly: "Is it really strong?" “

Zhang Yi smiled: "Brother Youqiao also knows that it is difficult for Lao Zhongtang to pull it up, can it still be harmed?" Is it difficult for the old man not to worry about his safety? “

Zhang Peilun replied in a condensed voice: "What are you going to do with Jianzhi?" ”

Zhang Yi Zhengse: "Write a letter, I bother you to run a trip to Anhui to pick up the old Zhongtang Fengtian in person, as long as you take it to Fengtian, then it will be really safe, and people can do anything about it." ”

Zhang Peilun stared at Zhang Yi for a while before slowing down: "It's good to be strong, I believe that Jianzhi will not harm the middle hall." ”

Zhang Yi: "Hao Youqiao took a boat from the sea to Shanghai, and after arriving in Shanghai, he went directly to Anhui, so it is estimated that it will take less than half a month to arrive." This time, I went out and sent a platoon to protect the left and right, after all, it is very unpeaceful in the customs now, so don't be in danger. ”

Zhang Peilun nodded.

Zhang Peilun got everything ready, and the next day he got on the train to Yingkou, and from Yingkou took a ship and went straight to Shanghai.

In just ten days, Zhang Peilun led more than a dozen elites under Zhang Yi to Li Hongzhang's hometown in Anhui.

Li Hongzhang's generations of hairpins, although not as famous as Weng Tongyong's three generations of emperors, but Li Hanzhang's brothers are not weak, Li Hongzhang is in charge of the military aircraft in Beiyang, and Li Hanzhang is in charge of Liangguang, becoming the governor of Liangguang, and the power is in his hands.

With the Li family branching out in Hefei, Anhui Province, it has become the largest family in Hefei.

Li Hongzhang was not surprised at Zhang Peilun's arrival, and when Li Hongzhang invited Zhang Peilun into his home, he smiled: "Youqiao is sent by Jian this time?" ”

Zhang Peilun was stunned: "Old Zhongtang, you have already thought of it?" ”

Li Hongzhang waved his hand: "Youqiao is not in the yamen now, but in the mansion, so don't be so outside." ”

Zhang Peilun's face turned slightly red: "Lord Yuezhang already knows what he meant." ”

Li Hongzhang sighed slightly: "Regardless of Zhang Jianzhi or Yuan Shikai, he will be pulled up with one hand, Yuan Shikai's city mansion is deep and clever, and he often inadvertently prepares a knife for people, a master of power and strategy; Zhang Jianzhi was thoughtful, every step of the way was unexpected, and at that time, it was just bright and irresistible. Now that he has retired, the DPRK and the Central Government have been Ronglu in charge, and Yuan Shikai is the leader, Yuan Shikai led the three armies of Wuwei and trained the six towns of Beiyang in Tianjin, and the ambition is not small, if there is any change, the first stumbling block must be Jianzhi, so please avoid it for the time being, no? ”

Zhang Peilun's heart was shaken, and now although Li Hongzhang is in his seventies, his thinking is still so meticulous, and he is worthy of being a figure in the Qing Dynasty, but his imagination is so far-reaching.

Li Hongzhang continued: "Youqiao went back and told Jianzhi that he would stay in his hometown in Anhui if he didn't go anywhere, as long as the Qing Dynasty fell, the Qing Dynasty and the opposition would be able to move, even if Yuan Shikai was so bold, let him live in the past few years." ”

Zhang Peilun hesitated: "Is it really a problem with my father-in-law?" Once the future is true, Yuan Shikai wants to make any small moves, but I am afraid that it will be really dangerous. Li Hongzhang smiled indifferently: "Youqiao, don't worry, Yuan Shikai doesn't dare to move, he doesn't dare to move, and he has that courage!" Go back, just go all out to help Jianzhi stabilize the situation and develop with all your might, remember that only when the Republic of China is rich and the people are rich, and the national defense is strong, will the Guannai be really peaceful, and if there is turmoil outside the Guan, then the powers will no longer have scruples. Tell Jianzhi to be careful, I have gotten the news, Tsarist Russia intends to transfer the elite of the Baltic Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet at the beginning of next year to reorganize the Pacific Fleet, it seems that this is going to avenge Vladivostok, you must be careful! Zhang Peilun was taken aback, Tsarist Russia moved so fast, the Republic of China Navy has only just begun to build, once the Pacific Fleet comes, the pressure on the Republic of China Navy will be great!
