The submarine that was originally inconspicuous in Li Hongzhang's eyes showed his face as soon as he came up, you must know that the target was an iron ship of more than 3,000 tons, this kind of ship was more than 1,000 tons heavier than the Zhiyuan of the Beiyang Naval Division, and the Zhiyuan fought in the Yellow Sea for more than three hours, but look at it now, it was only ten minutes, and a large cargo ship was sunk by a submarine.

Li Hongzhang, who got on the Flying Eagle, was like Spiegel in his heart.

Originally, he still had some doubts about handing over the Huai Army to Liu Jun, but now he was relieved.

"Old man, are you kidding, you asked me to train the Huai Army, I am not afraid that I will swallow your troops, you must know that your Huai Army has more than 100,000, I ...... this" Liu Jun showed an innocent and greedy look, he really wanted to expand the army, but he never thought of doing it to the Huai Army in the past, how did the Huai Army say it, it was also the army of his daughter-in-law and grandfather, the entire Li family, if it wasn't for the Huai Army, how could there be this in the imperial court to straighten up.

"What? You don't, well, then I'll take it back, when I didn't say. Li Hongzhang turned his head and looked at Liu Jun, who was looking at him intently.

"Don't, since the old man looks up to me, I'm willing to train you." Liu Jun hurriedly waved his hand.

Li Hongzhang said yes, since he had decided in his heart to hand over the troops to Liu Jun, he would not regret it, and the two immediately returned to the cabin and began to discuss the training and reorganization of the Huai Army.

In view of the current situation of the Huai Army, Liu Jun and Li Hongzhang decided to reorganize the Huai Army in the Zhili area into two corps, which were later the Eighth and Ninth Corps of the Liaodong Army.

Because of the relationship between the imperial court, the reorganization of the Huai army this time was carried out in secret, so except for weapons and personnel, everything else remained the same, even the military uniform did not use the Liaodong military uniform, but the big cap military uniform of the current imperial court three years ago.

After the discussion, Li Hongzhang laughed and walked to the bridge with Liu Jun, looking at the sun in the distance in a daze.

"Can you promise the old man one thing in the future?" Li Hongzhang, who was silent, suddenly said a sentence, which made Liu Jun very puzzled.

What kind of person is Li Hongzhang, under the two of them, above 10,000 people, casually stomping his feet, the Qing Dynasty will shake the characters three times. Now it's actually ......

"Old man, don't say this as a family, what do you have?"

Looking at Liu Jun's serious eyes, Li Hongzhang lowered his head and pondered: "In the future, after breaking with the imperial court, I hope you will not go on a killing spree, and the country will not be able to withstand any blows and disasters."

Li Hongzhang experienced two civil wars, the Taiping Rebellion, and the Twist Army Rebellion. Although he didn't say anything, he understood too well what he had lost in those two wars.

In Jiangsu, Anhui and Jiangxi, in more than ten years, the casualties have been tens of millions, and the property losses cannot be calculated.

Decades of experience told him that once a war broke out, it would be unstoppable for Liu Jun to overthrow the imperial court, and Li Hongzhang was worried that Liu Jun would carry out a massacre, after all, Liu Jun's killing was famous in the entire imperial court.

"Old man, don't worry, no matter what happens to me in the future, I won't hurt the innocent."

Although Liu Jun loves to joke and be insidious, Li Hongzhang is still sure of his personality.

Nodding slightly, Li Hongzhang stopped talking, and the two were together with each other, looking at the sea.

Traveling secretly, Li Hongzhang was inconvenient to stay in Lushun for too long, so early the next morning, he stepped on the cargo ship back to Tianjin.

In Beijing City, the atmosphere of the New Year made Beijing full of fireworks, and the firecrackers that exploded from time to time did not make children laugh happily with smiling faces, and even alarmed Cixi who was far away in the deep palace.

It's already the sixth day of the new year, but the atmosphere of the New Year still exists, and the idle Cixi is accompanied by the palace maids to set off fireworks outside the Chuxiu Palace.

"Lafayette, Prince Gong asks to see you." Li Lianying picked up the dust whisk and smiled evilly.

Abundant?? , Cixi retracted the smile on her face, Yi? It's definitely okay to come so late.

"Let him meet him in the palace." After Cixi finished speaking, she got up from the blanket covered with thick fluff and walked towards the palace.

"What? Li Hongzhang went to Lushun and stayed for four days. The unique screams of the Cixi girls suddenly resounded in the Chuxiu Palace.

Abundant? The news sent was really terrifying, the dignified governor of the imperial court, the minister of Beiyang trade, actually went to Lushun secretly, how could she not be surprised.

What is the relationship between Li Hongzhang and Liu Jun, relatives, Li Hongzhang's most beloved granddaughter is Mrs. Liu Jun, this relationship is iron-clad.

Now the relationship between the imperial court and Liaodong, everyone knows, is calm on the surface, but in fact it is boiling inside, although it is possible to fry the pot, at this critical moment, what does Li Hongzhang mean by making this move, what does he want to do? .

"Lafayette, what now?" Abundant? With an anxious face, he had just received news from the inside line in Tianjin that Li Hongzhang had secretly arrived in Lushun.

When he got the news, he didn't dare to slack off for a moment, and hurriedly came to Cixi to discuss countermeasures.

"Let's see if someone is sent to kill him." Seeing that Cixi didn't speak, Yi? Take a step forward.

Cixi shook her head, in this situation, she is more than Yi? Calm down.

"No, we haven't figured everything out yet, and acting rashly will cause unnecessary trouble."

After Cixi finished speaking, she lowered her head and pondered for a while, and raised her head again: "You immediately order, be sure to find out the reason why Li Hongzhang went to Lushun." In addition, we must be calm and not let Li Hongzhang have any thoughts. ”

Cixi is indeed powerful, she knows that Li Hongzhang's relationship with the imperial court is not very good now, and if it is not handled properly, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Galeries Lafayette." Abundant? He arched his hands, turned around and walked out.

In the office of the Lushun Headquarters, the huge charcoal fire illuminated the room unusually warm. Liu Jun, who was sitting by the charcoal fire, put the charcoal in his hand into the fire from time to time.

"Head, I don't understand, why don't you just agree to let the old man's army change into our Liaodong Army uniform?" I really couldn't understand that Zhong Lin suddenly put down the tongs in his hand.

Liu Jun and Li Hongzhang discussed the reorganization of the Huai Army at that time, and he was also there at the time, so he didn't understand, this was the best opportunity to swallow the Huai Army, why did he have to give up.

Originally, Zhong Lin wanted to bring it up yesterday, but because Li Hongzhang was still there at that time, now Li Hongzhang has already left, and with the addition of Liu Jun and Zheng Yiqian, who are here today, he really can't hold back.

Liu Jun frowned, sometimes he really wondered if Zhong Lin's head was kicked by a pig The simple truth of not understanding it, he assured that even Zheng Yiqian understood his intentions.

"Stupid, you're not as good as your sister-in-law, she knows it." Liu Jun glanced at Zhong Lin with disdain, and then nodded to Zheng Yiqian.

Zheng Yiqian didn't understand anything, smiling slightly, Zheng Yiqian asked Zhong Lin three questions, that is, who is the commander of the Huai Army, and the relationship between the commander of the Huai Army and Liu Jun is now the relationship between the imperial court and Liaodong.

This still needs to be asked, Zhong Lin feels that this question is too idiotic, it is simply insulting his IQ, who in the world does not know, the boss of the Huai Army is Li Hongzhang, and the head is Li Hongzhang's grandson-in-law, now the imperial court and Liaodong, although the surface is calm, in fact, there will be a war tomorrow.

"Sister-in-law, what can you say about this?" Zhong Lin spread his hands. I don't understand.

"Since the boss of the Huai army and your head have that kind of relationship, what is the difference between changing clothes or not, the old man is dead, and the army is not returned to Liaodong.

Zhong Lin finally understood now, that is to say, whether Huaijun changes his clothes now or not, it is just a form, and this form seems to be nothing, but it is actually very important.

The current Huai Army, even Zhili, did not clearly say that it would sever relations with the imperial court, if you change into a Liaodong military uniform at this time, it will be equivalent to telling the imperial court that Zhili will not be under your control from now on. On the contrary, if you don't change your clothes now, then the imperial court will have no reason to attack Zhili.

"Head, high, it's really high, it can not only make the court willingly raise an army for us, but also protect the old man, it's really high." Zhong Lin gave a thumbs up and kept praising him.

For Zhong Lin's virtue, Liu Jun was already immune, smiled slightly, took the clip from the side, and Liu Jun began to set charcoal on fire.

With a creak, the door opened, and the three of them turned their heads to see that it was actually someone from the Intelligence Bureau.

The intelligence officer stepped forward and handed Zhong Lin a telegram, then turned around and walked out.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Seeing that Zhong Lin's face was not good-looking, Liu Jun asked suspiciously.

"Head, it's not good, the old man's coming here has made people poke out."
