A Brief History of the World in "The Rise of Great Powers": Politics is a continuation of war, and war is a part of politics.

------------------------------- Dividing Line--------------------------

Li Jingfang didn't expect someone to do bad things with good intentions. He said a lot, not only did not get his father's appreciation, but attracted his father's suspicion.

"Father, son only thinks so much. As for why he didn't want to see His Majesty, it was not something that his son could speculate. Li Jingfang finally finished speaking.

"Who taught you?" Li Hongzhang asked lightly.

Li Jingfang suddenly blushed and lowered his head, and replied nonorily: "It's Yang Du!" ”

"Who is Yang Du? Oh, it's Yang Huizi, who is called Yang Xianzi by Wang Xiangqi! Li Hongzhang pondered for a while and then remembered. This made Li Jingfang admire.

Although Li Hongzhang is old, he knows very well the anecdotes of every big and small person in the court. This is not that someone is a spy for Li Hongzhang, but the favorite thing of feudal literati is to call a pot of tea or a pot of wine together and brag after sitting down. It's not yourself who blows, but your descendants. This is the same as modern parents, who like to talk about their children and a virtue.

Yang Huizi's allusion is that someone said it and it reached Li Hongzhang's ears, Li Hongzhang is very powerful as an official in this regard, even if the other party is just a nobody, but as long as this person does something that interests him, Li Hongzhang may be able to remember it for a lifetime. This life does not mean that he wants to take revenge, but that Li Hongzhang will pay attention to this person. For example, Sun Wen once submitted a book to him, and I believe that Li Hongzhang will not remember it for so long, because it is meaningless.

And Wang Xiangqi here has a good relationship with Li Hongzhang. Both of them had been guests of Zeng Guofan's entry into the curtain (non-derogatory term, in a narrow sense, it refers to being a military advisor of Zeng Guofan, and in a broad sense, it means that they served under Zeng Guofan. ）。

However, later Zeng Guofan went into the wilderness, and Wang Xiangqi went back to preside over the academy, but Li Hongzhang took over Zeng Guofan's stick and tried his best to protect "my Qing Dynasty". In 1895, after Wang Xiangqi learned about Yang Du's reputation and talent, he personally went to Yang's house and accepted Yang Du as a student.

You must know that the relationship between master and apprentice in ancient times was very strict and strict. For example, Zhang Jian, a student of Weng Tongshu, is the champion, but because Weng Tongshu is on the stage, Zhang Jian has to go home to do business even though he is a student, on the one hand, Zhang Jian is very disappointed in the Qing court, and on the other hand, it is indeed a last resort. No champion is willing to put down his body to become a businessman who he used to look down on.

And Wang Xiangqi not only accepted Yang Du as an apprentice, but also went to the door to collect apprentices in person, which shows how much Wang Xiangqi attaches importance to Yang Du. For any person, if Wang Xiangqi said that he was willing to accept so-and-so as an apprentice, he would ensure that someone would run over and be a good apprentice without saying anything. That's the gap! And Wang Xiangqi also called Yang Du Yang Xianzi (杨度字皙子) later.

Yang Jun and Yang Zhuang also studied in Wangmen, and Yang Zhuang later married the four sons of the Wang family. There are also Xia Shoutian, Eight Fingers Toutuo, Yang Rui, Liu Guangdi, Liu Kuiyi, Qi Baishi, etc

The reason why Li Hongzhang remembers Yang Du is because Wang Xiangqi attaches great importance to this person. Don't look at other names, just look at the last one: Qi Baishi! This is a big name in the world of calligraphy and painting! Characters second to none! Yang Duneng and Qi Baishi call each other brothers, which shows their people. Moreover, this person was personally visited by Wang Xiangqi to collect apprentices, and even Qi Baishi did not have this treatment.

"Yang Huizi has this talent, it is not strange that he can see through Hu Xiaoyan's every move. But why is he telling you? Li Hongzhang was a little strange.

Yang Du has never seen anyone, so it is not easy to evaluate, but Yang Du told his "stupid" son about this, then there were some misdeeds.

"I met Yang Huizi a few days ago, and the two talked very happily, so they talked about Hu Shanshi. At that time, the blue child was a little drunk. So that's a lot. Li Jingfang defended.

Drink like a fish? Tricksters, right? That's a lie to you, right? Li Hongzhang can't say anything, this is his son after all. The so-called gentleman can be deceived in a way. Li Jingfang is such a gentleman, and Yang Du is the little ghost of the bully gentleman.

Li Hongzhang didn't know. I know where to tolerate it!

"You invite him over tomorrow!" Li Hongzhang snorted coldly.

"Yes, Father." Li Jingfang bowed and withdrew.

After waiting for Li Jingfang to withdraw for a long time, Li Hongzhang was ready to sleep, and his eyes narrowed. Something suddenly came to mind. He is not angry, but happy.

"Okay, you Yang Huizi! Dare to calculate the old man! Li Hongzhang reflected. What Yang Du told Li Jingfang was for Li Jingfang??? It's for Li Hongzhang! Why did he do it?

Very simple! is like Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair, if there is no Longzhong pair, does Liu Bei dare to use Zhuge Liang? Can't! Similarly, Li Hongzhang has a good idea of what Yang Du wants to do, but Yang Du is as arrogant as Zhuge Liang.

I know you, and you know me. But you come and use my talents because you know me, and that makes me unhappy. So I'm going to show my talent first, so that you can clearly feel my talent. And then I let you take the initiative to use me.

There is a saying: good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose the lord to serve.

What he Yang Du said to Li Jingfang was not said to Li Jingfang at all, or even to Li Hongzhang! Instead, it was transferred to Hu Shanshi! He wanted to meet Li Hongzhang in person, but all he asked for was a microphone. Because Hu Shanshi will inevitably come to see Li Hongzhang when he enters Beijing!

After Li Hongzhang figured it out, he couldn't help but sigh about his two sons. Now Li Jingmai is working as a county magistrate outside, and he has already experienced it, but his talent is limited. It's easy to be a county magistrate, and it's a lot of work to be a rich businessman, but to be a prefect or something, it's not enough.

And Li Jingfang? Let him engage in diplomacy and foreign affairs, but he can get started. But letting him be the master of the house is too difficult for him. There is no successor to the Li family! Thinking of Yang Du, Li Hongzhang sighed in his heart. Among his students, there is no talent like Yang Du.

At least Yang Du understands Hu Shanshi, but Li Jingfang often fails to understand this through his own tips. This is the gap between genius and talent, just like Xia Worm Yu Bingye.

Similarly, there are not many people in the court who can see what Hu Xiaoyan has done. Even that Xuanwu Emperor Zaifeng was only slightly suspicious. Otherwise, he would never have pushed Hu Shanshi to the seat of the governor of the three eastern provinces so obediently.

I don't think it's like anything now, once Hu Shanshi has a firm foothold in the three eastern provinces, Japan and Russia may not be his opponents. Similarly, the Manchus were not necessarily Hu Shanshi's opponents. A good knife is sometimes a double-edged sword, it can help you kill your enemies and hurt your own hands at the same time. It's a pity that few people are aware of it.

And what Hu Shanshi lacks most now is no longer money, nor is it his so-called basic education, let alone a so-called scientist. is a Zhuge Liang who can help him coordinate the overall situation when he is not in the three eastern provinces.

Hu Shanshi's rise was too short, and he had not participated in the imperial examination, so he showed limited knowledge. Such a talent will never know Hu Shanshi, let alone help Hu Shanshi. After all, Hu Shanshi's beginnings are too legendary and have no foundation in the court. The only people who can take refuge or are willing to take refuge in him are those who have repeatedly failed to reach the sour show or the civilians who have no roots.

And now with Yang Du's help, Hu Shanshi's last shortcoming will be made up. As long as Yang Du joins Hu Shanshi's side, then Hu Shanshi is really a climate. Because Yang Du himself has never represented him alone, but the entire Wang family. This means that there is a complete family with excellent traditions, and it has completely fallen into the arms of Hu Shanshi. He is no longer alone in the court, and he is not helpless outside.

This is the real reason why Hu Shanshi has become a climate after getting Yang Du.

But the premise is that Hu Shanshi can still reach Jingshi alive! Will he make it there alive?

Everyone should know this. Although this book is written about history, it is not a military class, but a strategy class. You can guess Hushan Stone from the beginning (name Xiaoyan, the word Mountain Stone. You can leave a message about the meaning of the strategy or the name and the word. I wonder if there is a reader friend who cherishes heroes. Every book friend who has persevered for so long and has not abandoned the book is precious to the author. I didn't want it to be exposed so quickly. But if you don't write, all the book friends will run out. It's so cool to read that book friends, don't blame me.

There is also a quiz. Hu Shanshi obviously has the help of a map, why was he ambushed by someone, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead? Did he do it on purpose? Or is it a coincidence? Was it really the Boxers or someone else who ambushed him? Leave a message to add experience and refinement......
