Chapter 44: The Storm Returns
The few outside, Lu Hong looked at the license of this ministry, but also had a little thought, the white-bearded half-old man is named Feng Hesheng, he overestimated the age of this person, in fact, it is only forty and three, look at his somewhat rickety body, it turned out to be a martial arts background, donated fame, but it can be seen that it has not been lacking for a long time, however, what Lu Hong noticed is that the license of this guy is marked with the words "An Lu Xugong". But I probably know that it should be a military promotion.
"Oh......" Lu Hong nodded, it seems that this half-old man is still a little poundy, and the other two scholars in their forties, one is about the same as Qin Tianmin, and has the fame of a student, named Tan Xianpin, this name is really too much than Ren Niu X, and the other one can't see what he can do, his surname is Wang Ming Daoting, as for the three young people, the red belt is called Rongqing, but he has no lord in this vein for a long time, just an ordinary Jueluo with a blue flag, and the other two are not flag people, but Tianjin people, I don't know how to run Yanjing to wait for the shortage.
He called several people in, and he knew that all future dispatches would have to be done under the hands of this heroic young judge in front of him, and they all bowed respectfully.
Lu Hong smiled and arched his hand, and his face immediately became stiff again, "Colleagues, in Xia Lu Hong, he was ordered by Wang Renkan and Wang Qin to do this errand, and the Xishu Office had already made it very clear before that this dispatch was not easy to do, if you still want to quit now, it will not be too late, if you smash Lord Wang's errand at that time, you will not be punished!" β
After he said this, several people were blank, and they seemed to be determined to blend into the revolutionary team, which made Lu Hong also a little surprised, he hoped to scare away a few undetermined elements, but he didn't expect these gourd babies to be really calm.
Lu Hong seemed to nod with satisfaction, and then continued to say seriously: "Since everyone has decided to do so, then leave your foothold in the capital, and after the prince agrees with the emperor, I will inform you to go and see your lord!" β
Qin Tianmin next to him had already taken out a pen and paper, and these bits had written down their addresses, Lu Hong smiled in his belly, he wanted their foothold, naturally there were multiple purposes, one was to facilitate contact, the other was to prepare for a secret visit, and the third was to understand the connections of these guys.
Watching Lu Hong talk eloquently and turn the regiment under the command of a few people, Yan Fu's expression was a little strange, he originally came to Beijing to visit his friends for the examination this time, and by the way, he was preparing for activities to see if he could operate the real shortage of a Taoist, but it was obviously too difficult.
However, he had already noticed that the Qingliu faction was criticizing the military discipline of the Huai system, and he heard that Wang Renkan, a bachelor, had obtained the emperor's will to supervise the military discipline of the sailors, which made him a little moved, he was a high-achieving student who stayed in the first phase of the Mawei Shipyard, however, after returning to China, he took a completely different path from his classmates Liu Buchan, Deng Shichang and others, and entered the Beiyang Naval Academy to teach and educate people, however, he may now regret his original choice, Liu Buyun and others who stayed in the UK at the same time as him are already admirals, An officer at the level of pipe band, and he is only in the position of the general office of the Beiyang Naval Academy.
Moreover, because there were many differences of opinion with Li Hongzhang on the matter of running a school, he finally chose to take another path to politics, but this road is becoming more and more difficult, and there is no hope so far, this assignment is actually completely different from other people's feelings for him, after all, he has a large number of students in the water division, and all his classmates were in the water division, which made him decide to take this assignment first and try it without hesitation.
He also noticed that the young Yun Juan in front of him, who was more than ten years younger than himself, also seemed to pay special attention to himself, which made him a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it, he was staying at the Fujian Hall near Liulichang this time, and after writing it, he walked next to Lu Hong, "Lu Yun Juan, if there is nothing else, can the lower official retire first!" β
Retirement...... Lu Hong smiled in his belly, this person's power and connections, he can make full use of it, but he is only a subordinate officer now, although he does things for Wang Renkan, but it is obviously not so much charm to use this guy, but it is the right time to make friends, his originally straight face immediately relaxed, and arched his hand towards Yan Fu, "Brother Yan Fu, I heard that you are a top student of the Greenwich Naval Academy, I also visited the Naval Academy a few years ago, and admired the portrait of Lord Nelson!" β
These two sentences obviously surprised Yan Fu, he didn't expect Lu Hong to have the experience of overseas study tours, you know, in this era, the best way out for returning to China after studying abroad is the navy, many people are involved in the railway, telegraph, factories and other Westernization movements, and officialdom is the most difficult place to enter when returning from overseas study tours, because the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, the right way to the imperial examination is the foundation of promotion.
Of course, Lu Hong's politeness immediately shortened the distance between the two, after all, this overseas study tour is now comparable to the friendship of classmates, not to mention, Lu Hong also fabricated an experience of visiting the Greenwich Naval Academy, of course, this is not a complete fabrication, later generations have seen a lot of photos of the Greenwich Naval Academy on the Internet, especially Lord Nelson's ...... After all, this is the place where the Chinese naval dream once originated, and it has a lot of popularity in later generations.
Yan Fu touched his mustache, and his originally calm expression was a little more smiling, unexpectedly, this young judge who was used by Wang Ren this time turned out to be from studying in Taixi, and he made him suddenly glad about his choice, "Lu Yunjuan, I don't know that this time Bachelor Wang went out of Beijing to supervise the dispatch of the army, but the military discipline that was rumored to be lax earlier?" β
This guy really has a very keen sense of smell, but Wang Renkan's matter has not been officially announced to the public, and when he was recruiting attachΓ©s before, he only mentioned the matter of military inspection...... However, this is not a secret, he smiled and nodded, "Brother Yan Fu guessed correctly, this dispatch is not easy to handle, I don't know what you think?" β
Yan Fu laughed, said a few words, and had a little bit of talk with Lu Hong before leaving, which made Lu Hong a little strange...... He chatted with Feng Hesheng and Tan Xianpin for a few more words, and after seeing them leave, Qin Tianmin next to him came up with a frown, "Brother Lu, this Yan Fu'er is not good, we have to beware of him...... Although Mr. Wang attaches great importance to you, I have also heard of the name of this guy, which is unusual! β
Lu Hong looked at Qin Tianmin, he didn't expect that he had also heard of Yan Fu's name, it seemed that this Yan Youling was quite famous in this era, but he was only mixed into a candidate platform, and he was never mixed into a real job......
However, these questions, he just thought about it casually, and now he has more and more things to think about carefully, and a little later, he sorted out the list and went to visit Wang Renkan, and then he learned another news.
In the case of the North Korean Kim Ok-kyun, Weng Tongyong finally adopted Lu Hong's opinion and handed it over to the Shanghai Concession Court for trial, which was very clear, and within a few days, the British announced the verdict without hesitation, "The assassin Hong Zhongyu confessed to the murder charge and was sentenced to death in accordance with the Concession Act!" β
However, the development of the matter was still beyond the expectations of the Military Aircraft Department, and the Korean king Li Xi sent a telegram through the Minister of International Trade Yuan Shikai, demanding that the body of Kim Ok-gyun and the criminal Hong Jong-woo be sent back to North Korea for trial, and this proposition was supported by Yuan Shikai and Li Hongzhang.
Many officials who were close to Huai played one after another, linking the matter with the identity of the vassal state, thinking that it was very inappropriate to hand over the case of the vassal state to the British, and some conservative princes and nobles also began to take advantage of the chaos to make trouble.
The change in things can be described as taking a turn for the worse, even Lu Hong didn't expect that his seemingly perfect plan would be opposed by a large number of brain-dead officials and nobles in Yanjing...... In the minds of these people, after nearly 30 years of hypnotization of the Huangliang dream of "Tongguang Zhongxing", they have long stopped taking foreigners in their eyes, and as for the Japanese people with lap legs, they are even more regarded as local chickens and dogs!
These people can't see that the old empire has long been rotten to the root, and the so-called training army is still a soulless army after the transformation, and what makes them miserable is that they just know this extremely bad result!
Wang Renkan mentioned this matter, obviously not to simply tell Lu Hong, but Weng Tonggong intended to listen to Lu Hong's opinion on this matter again......
Of course, Lu Hong had other methods, but he was still thinking about whether to continue to suggest to Weng Tongyi, after all, his main energy was now on the dispatch of this army!
