Chapter 38: Military Discipline Battalion

The next day's itinerary was completely beyond Lu Hong's expectations, Huang Tifang took him out early in the morning, but he went to the Ministry of Officials, the Supervision Yuan, and the Ministry of Household Affairs to go around, and when he met many officials, he had to introduce Lu Hong as a protégé, and then he took him to the carriage and left the center of the imperial city Zhengyang Gate, which went straight to Yongding Gate, and when the carriage stopped, Lu Hong saw a huge official residence, and the big "Weng Mansion" on the plaque in front of the door.

It turned out that he was visiting Weng Tongyi's mansion, and this old man, as the Minister of Military Aircraft, actually worked from home...... This couldn't help but make Lu Hong ridicule him a few more words, but when he arrived in the mansion, he unexpectedly saw Huang Shaoji and several men in official robes discussing something under the corridor.

When those few people saw Huang Tifang come in, they all followed Huang Shaoji to come over to greet them, and Huang Gong and Huang Gong were very happy, Huang Tifang obviously attached great importance to these people, so they couldn't help but babble a few words, and during this period, they naturally introduced Lu Hong as their protégé.

These men looked at the unique and tall appearance of the scholars, Lu Hong also estimated that it should be the cadre of the Qingliu First Line in Beijing, Huang Tifang introduced, his son Huang Shaoji naturally needless to say, now it is Li Hongzao's number one pen, and another man in his forties with a thin face is called Wang Renkan, but Huang Tifang specially introduced it, this is the champion of Ding Chouke, which makes Lu Hong also awe-inspired, the champion who has only opened a department in recent years, it is not easy to see, and several other names are not familiar to him, but looking at Huang Tifang's appearance, he is also a young talent.

After a few polite words, Huang Tifang went in by himself, and asked Lu Hong to wait here, Lu Hong knew Huang Shaoji with a mustache here, but seeing this self-proclaimed elder, he was somewhat big-headed, and he would come back with two sentences of virtuous nephews and gods later, and it was really difficult for him to deal with it......

Fortunately, Huang Shaoji was quite face-saving today, smiled at Lu Hong, and pointed at him to introduce several others, "Brother Yuanlang, Brother Ding, Brother Li, although Brother Lu has not tasted the imperial examination, but when he was young, he traveled to Taixi to study, proficient in the eight Chinese languages, and also studied Taixi military science, this time I returned to China, but I came to serve the country!" ”

Serve the country...... Lu Hong almost vomited when he heard this, this Manchu Dynasty is worth repaying, but this country is not bad, Greater China is also the Great China of the Chinese nation, and he is bound to devote himself to this earth-changing era, but this has a long future, and he is now very curious, how did he get to this point, which is a little different from what he thought when he first discovered the super industrial system.

He arched his hand and said a few polite words, and when he was thinking about sitting down with peace of mind, one of the men in his thirties, with a goatee and surnamed Ding, smiled and asked: "Brother Lu, since you are from Taixi to study, and you are also good at the way of foreign affairs, I am a little strange that Huang Gong has never liked this foreign affairs theory, those industries, spending state-owned assets, but it is difficult to benefit the people!" ”

Lu Hong frowned, every time he met these Qingliu cadres, all of them were in this tone, but it was okay at this moment, so he smiled and said: "Brother Ding smiled, Lu Hong has been studying overseas for many years, and he is also curious, the rise of Taixi civilization is only a few hundred years, and my great Chinese culture has been inherited for thousands of years, and after careful study, I know that the rise of the great powers is not only the rise of culture, but more importantly, the rise of the scientific spirit!" ”

The spirit of science...... This term was obviously unexpected by these people, even when Huang Shaoji chatted with Lu Hong before, he had never heard him say it, and the man surnamed Ding suddenly asked curiously: "Brother Lu, I seem to have heard this word last time when I negotiated with the British consul in the Prime Minister's yamen, but I didn't care, dare to ask, why are these two words important?" ”

Lu Hong smiled, and in a few sentences, he turned their attention to a field they were not familiar with at all, which was very convenient for himself, otherwise these people who said something about the problem, and their qualifications to be listeners may not be enough, "Brother Ding, in fact, this so-called scientific spirit, our Chinese civilization has long existed, the old saying goes, know what it is, don't know why, it is an incisive summary of this scientific spirit!" ”

As soon as he said this, these people immediately made a sudden realization, but Lu Hong's remarks made them look at it from a different perspective, and the topics that Lu Hong listened to them discussed, they were also very unexpected, and they were not all very sensitive topics in the court recently, such as a certain senior member was impeached and convicted of fraud in the imperial examination, and a certain courtier proposed to repair the embankment of the Yellow River, and Zhang Zhidong minted a silver dollar in Hubei and no longer allowed Chinese workers to enter the United States within ten years of Sino-US negotiations......

Listening carefully to the discussions of these people, they are indeed extraordinary, although some of the statements are too simple, but they can see the idea of the problem, he can't help but secretly admire these officials, it seems that the history books say that these Qingliu cadres are all high-eyed and low-handed, and there is a bit of a taste of heroes based on success or failure......

After listening for a while, a person who looked like a staff member came out of it, and when he looked at it from a distance, he waved at Lu Hong with a stiff face and asked, "It's Lu Gongzi, come with me, Weng Ge wants to see you!" ”

As soon as Lu Hong heard this, he immediately cheered up and followed closely, he made a long journey into the center of power, just with his own little insight and opportunity, he may be able to put himself on another path now, this opportunity is naturally not to be missed!

After walking a lot in the backyard, the staff led Lu Hong to the door of a small garden, and a maid outside the door blessed him, turned around and went in, and Lu Hong heard a full voice outside talking slowly in the house, but this speech revealed an unquestionable tone, but it didn't seem to be very pleasant...... It's a bit out of place to come by yourself.

"Shulan, the emperor approved the dredging of the canal a few days ago, but I don't know who stabbed the queen mother, I think most of it is done by Sun Yuwen, this person is authoritarian, but he does things without leakage, and the queen mother also trusts it...... Oh...... Let him in! ”

After a while, the maid came out and said softly, "Master Lu, the master let you in!" ”

Lu Hong nodded, took a deep breath, walked into the main hall slowly, and waited inside, but saw a long-bearded old man with a fat figure and a decent official uniform on the chair of the Taishi in the middle, looking at himself with both eyes, and he was full of bearing between his hands, and the pattern on the official uniform on his chest that represented a first-class crane was a high position, which was a high position that few people could climb.

He hurriedly saluted and said loudly: "Late born Lu Hong, meet the Pavilion Boss!" ”

Sitting in the center is obviously this military minister who has full influence on the political affairs of the dynasty, the emperor Weng Tongyi, he is now obviously also observing the person in front of him is a tall young student studying abroad, in this era, it is not uncommon to study in Europe and the United States, and the Qing Dynasty also sends schoolchildren and officers abroad every year...... The reason why he decided to meet this young man was Huang Tifang's recommendation, and the other was the rather shocking copywriting drafted by Lu Hong!

"Excuse me!" Weng Tongyi's faint voice remembered, which made Lu Hong's body bow for a while and finally be able to stand up straight, but compared to the requirements of military training back then, it was much more pediatric, and his upright posture immediately made Weng Tonggong also nodded slowly, "Lu Hong, I'm afraid the law you mentioned to supervise the army is just on paper, and it is difficult to implement!"

In addition to falsifying the evidence of the photos, Lu Hong also proposed to Weng Tongyi to establish a supervision organization directly under the Military Aircraft Department, and its duty is to supervise and punish military officers and soldiers for violating discipline.

Of course, the army under the rule of the Manchu Dynasty in this era did not have any institutions to supervise military discipline, let alone supervise officers, and coincidentally, earlier, Pei Weiyun, a cabinet scholar, had drafted an excerpt of "Officials and Soldiers Asking for Punishment for Arbitrary Looting", denouncing the problem of military discipline in the Qing army [***], and demanding strict military discipline, but this excerpt was suppressed by Weng Tongyi at that time...... The reason is that he can't think of any ingenious way to intervene in the army.

And Lu Hong's copywriting, it can be said that the timing of the coming is quite a coincidence, and, to a large extent, when Lu Hong pondered this copywriting, he has considered Weng Tongyi's thoughts, this has always attached great importance to this reputation, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the noble and the military, as the head of the civil ministers, he naturally restrained the idea of the army, and more coincidentally, now the biggest soldier of the Qing Dynasty is his old rival Li Hongzhang, if this matter is really done, it can be described as fame and fortune, which not only increased his reputation among the civil ministers, but also hit the political enemy Li Hongzhang!

"Ge Lao, when he was born in Taixi to study, he studied this German law of restricting military discipline, and I have set up a system of supervising the army in wars since ancient times, so I only need to make a slight change in the ancient law, set up a military discipline camp in the barracks, and specifically assist in the investigation of the illegal acts of officers and soldiers, and set up military justice offices in various provinces to determine whether there is a violation of discipline, this practice can be described as fair and strict, and it is expected that others have no place to blame!" Lu Hong talked eloquently, and described his so-called Taixi experience, whenever he talked about these topics, he was always very wise to put on the coat of ancient Chinese law, which made these bigwigs who don't like foreign affairs sound much more pleasant.

Weng Tongyi has been staring at Lu Hong, but this young man has no stage fright at all, which makes him a little surprised, and he can't help but have a little sense of wooing, and listening to him talk about it, he said the matter of this military discipline camp very thoroughly, and even how the military discipline camp should be organized and how the military justice department should be organized, there is a concise explanation, and when he hears it, it makes him even more excited.

Today's army of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners Army, that is, the retirement home of the Eight Banners, is not an army at all, as for the training of the army changed by Huaiyong, he knows that there are no longer a few cats in it...... If this method is implemented, I am afraid that this resistance will be so great that I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to imagine, but such an ingenious idea, if he wants to give it up, it is also a bit tyrannical.

While he was pondering, Lu Hong opened his mouth again: "Pavilion Elder, in fact, the wonderful use of this military discipline camp is not only in military discipline, but also in other great uses!" ”
