Chapter 185: A small change
After receiving the conviction of the appropriation of the new army of Hulin, these people settled down, and the general outline was there, and then the small group that took control of itself was followed.
The components of the new army are not a simple matter, and only the general direction is planned here, and the negotiations will continue after the distribution of posts in the newly established defense force is obtained.
At this time, there is nothing to do with Hu Lin and Li Hongzhang, and these people just want to make a smooth transition as soon as possible, as long as they are still valuable, then these people can exist.
After discussing with Liu Kunyi, Li Hongzhang and others, the meeting with these officials who came close to him was over. Naturally, they will deal with the finishing touches later.
And Hu Lin's side is in charge of Li Tie and others, but Li Tie can't deal with the people's livelihood matters, that is the problem of the school. Give Pingshan a telegram and ask Zhao Kui, who is in charge of Pingshan Academy, to come over and deal with it, and then practice Zhang Zhidong, this person is what Hu Lin wants to catch in his hands.
In addition, let Li Guangchou bring some personal people in government affairs over, and the subsequent actions cannot be counted on these officials who have taken refuge in him. There is no doubt that these Li Hongzhang's protégés are loyal, but when it comes to execution, especially according to Hu Lin's requirements, it is not as comfortable as Pingshan's own people.
The military always overrides politics, and as long as the military is controlled, then politics can only be used as an accompaniment. When Hu Lin has the current military advantage, he doesn't have to worry about these officials turning against the water, just pray that these officials don't mess too much, otherwise Hu Lin will really have to take his own people first.
After the officials in the hall set down the various directions to be done in the future, the three bigwigs left separately, and Liu Kunyi and Li Hongzhang naturally had to draft a recital and prepare to report to the court tomorrow, and these things had to be done from the court.
Hu Lin had to think about how to go next for the time being, while the remaining officials and Li Tie were discussing the affairs of the new army, and there was no need for Hu Lin to be present.
Back in the house, a shadow guard appeared, Hu Lin didn't care, this was Li Tie's special division, who was delivering intelligence and urgent matters.
Sure enough, the guards withdrew directly after handing the envelope to Hu Lin. Hu Lin opened the envelope and looked at it for a long time, and smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth. "I didn't expect this old woman to lose her breath so quickly and start to move."
After reading the letter, he slowly tore it up, threw it into the incense burner, and was silent for a while before calling the guards at the door and inviting the person concerned.
Soon, the door was pushed open, and Dong Fuxiang walked in a little restrained. This is the person involved in the envelope, living in his house, Hu Lin is a little difficult to deal with.
After seeing Dong Fuxiang come in and signal to sit down, he stared at it for a while. Dong Fuxiang, who was still in a meeting just now, was called by Hu Lin again, and he really didn't know what the situation was.
"I don't know what General Hu is doing to defeat the official, and the junior official will do his best." Dong Fuxiang didn't know the bottom of his heart, but he knew that Hu Lin had just left and found him, and something must have happened.
"General Dong is not in a hurry, let me ask you something first, what do you think of me and my Pingshan Army?"
Hu Lin raised his hand and pressed down, changing the subject, which would not have much time to delay him. In the secret report, there must be contact between Dong Fuxiang and Cixi, which has to attract Hu Lin's attention, some things can not be done and there will be no problems, but if you do trouble, there will definitely be trouble, and it is naturally better to prevent trouble from appearing.
"General Hu is young and promising, how can the lower officials dare to guess. The general's Pingshan Army doesn't need to be said by the lower officials, everyone knows how powerful it is. ”
Dong Fuxiang was a little inexplicable, and he was asked inexplicable questions when he came in, but out of caution, he still avoided some more flattering ways to reply.
"You're tactful, then I won't go around the bend with you, I'm living in your house, are you a fellow traveler with me?"
Seeing Dong Fuxiang answer with such a vague answer, Hu Lin didn't bother to speak dumbly, there were too many Taoists in the officialdom, and he went straight to his head. Hu Lin is from modern times, and he is not too used to it, so he just points directly.
Hearing Hu Lin ask himself so nakedly, Dong Fuxiang sat on the chair in surprise and observed Hu Lin's expression, but naturally there was nothing else, he still looked indifferent.
I couldn't see what Hu Lin meant, and he had such a direct showdown, so he naturally knew that he would show his heart. This can make Dong Fuxiang a bit of a firearm roasted on the fire.
I also participated in the discussion with the officials just now, and I knew how strong Hu Lin would be in the future, but he was caught in the middle. Cixi has the grace to support him, and the imperial power is authentic, and the Boxers are morally for the country, both of which are their own accommodations.
Now there is a Pingshan army, and he lives in his own Dong Mansion, but how is it good. It was intended that all three parties would not be offended, so that they could stand firmer.
But obviously Hu Lin didn't give him a chance, and directly asked him to express his position, I'm afraid he really had to choose.
Suddenly, my heart was shocked, and I broke out in a cold sweat, I didn't expect that the matter sent by the Queen Mother to admonish was discovered, although I didn't give a positive answer at the time, but I don't know what the young man on the other side will think, and I haven't told it in time.
Thinking of this, Dong Fuxiang trembled all over his body and looked at Hu Lin in horror. "General Hu, there is a matter for the subordinate to report, and the Empress Dowager sent someone here before, intending to let the subordinate listen to General Hu's news, and let him cooperate when necessary."
"Oh, this, so what do you think about telling me like that?"
Hearing Dong Fuxiang's whistleblowing, Hu Lin was not surprised at all, he was very indifferent. This couldn't be clearer in Dong Fuxiang's eyes, and it was really because the Queen Mother's people came into contact with him that Hu Lin became suspicious.
However, I am glad that I made a decision immediately, otherwise as the commander of Hu Lin, I am afraid that I really don't know how long the brain on my neck will exist.
"Since the general lived in the mansion, he would not have any other thoughts, and the lower official politely refused at that time, but this can only be regarded as a delay, and the lower official is preparing to give a message to the general."
Since the matter was revealed, loyalty was inevitable, and after making up his mind, he did not hesitate more.
"Haha, General Dong really took care of someone Hu, but I threw myself into your mansion, and I will take care of it more in the future."
Hu Lin asked Dong Fuxiang for his safety with a smile, this can be regarded as a warning, and it can be regarded as a reminder to him, to say that the most likely problem is this Dong Mansion, after all, Hu Lin can live here, and many things must be done by Dong Fuxiang.
Usually, you can't get in touch with Hu Lin outside, and there are quite a few guards outside, so you can't get contact with it at all, so naturally you can't get information from Hu Lin, or attack Hu Lin.
Now that the meaning has been conveyed, it is almost the same after knocking, Hu Lin didn't say much, chatted with Dong Fuxiang casually, and let him leave.
After Dong Fuxiang left, Hu Lin fell into deep thought, although Akari and Cixi reached an agreement. But the small actions in the back are really hard to find the door, and others don't admit you and have nothing to say.
I am afraid that it is not only this agreement that makes Cixi so anxious, after the last confrontation with the Admiral of the Nine Gates, she caught some Mangui and let this old woman find that Hu Lin has a bad attitude towards them.
After doing such a big thing, I didn't mention it when I came back, so I naturally pressed it and tried to find a way in other places. If Hu Lin hadn't let go of the captured Mangui, I'm afraid Cixi wouldn't want to mention it, and she wouldn't be able to ignore the past.
Since Hu Lin has the heart to cooperate with Cixi, he will go with the flow, otherwise the two parties are likely to face each other, and the relationship between the two parties on the surface will definitely be rigid.
At this time, we can't turn our faces, otherwise civil strife will inevitably slow down the follow-up plan, and the summit date will inevitably be postponed for a longer time, not to mention that the most important thing at the moment is to straighten out the country first.
These jumping clowns behind them can only be thrown aside temporarily, as long as they control the capital, plus Li Hongzhang and others come closer, these people will not be able to turn over the prodigal son. (To be continued.) )
