Chapter 41: Official Position

On March 27, 1894, Kim Ok-gyun, the head of the Korean Enlightenment Party, was lured to Shanghai by the Korean Hong Jong-woo, and then killed him in Donghe & Co...... Originally, the assassination case on the beach was a trivial matter, this Jin Yujun was an inconsequential North Korean in the Qing Dynasty, and this guy was in North Korea 10 years ago, directing a coup d'Γ©tat of Shenjia with only three days, but it was suppressed by Yuan Shikai, the current Minister of Trade and Trade in North Korea.

But when the news was delivered to Weng Tongyi, he immediately thought of what Lu Hong had mentioned a few days earlier, saying that he might have been planning to invade North Korea and confront China head-on, and the only thing missing was a small introduction...... And now, this introduction is vividly placed in front of him.

This Jin Yujun was under the protection of Yu himself for the previous 10 years, and even changed his name to Yantian Zhouzuo, and when he came to the Qing Dynasty this time, he originally wanted to visit Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhili, and tried to change the Korean system with the help of the Qing Dynasty's status as the suzerainty of Korea...... Of course, this is just wishful thinking on the part of this Korean.

However, if you say that you continue to make trouble in this matter, you must not be careful!

It's just that the next thing is a bit troublesome, and now it is Liu Mingchuan, a cadre of the Huai Department under his old rival Li Hongzhang, who is dealing with the assassination case of Jin Yujun, and there is a plan for Liu Mingchuan to follow the telegram yesterday, this Jin Yujun is a wanted criminal in the vassal Korean state, and he was killed by the North Korean side, and there is no doubt that this matter is sent back for the North Koreans to deal with by themselves.

And Weng Tongyi is obviously paying more attention to this case now, and sending all the criminals back to North Korea, this practice is obviously in line with the normal practice of the current relationship between the Qing Dynasty and the Korean vassal relationship, but this Jin Yujun is indeed a big trouble, and he has been sheltered in this book for ten years, and now he is killed in Shanghai, and he said that he did not take advantage of the trouble, it is really strange! It's just that this old Liu Ke is a well-known hard neck, even if Li Hongzhang wants to get an idea, he has to discuss it with this person, if the Military Aircraft Department says that this assassination case will be rehandled...... Thinking of being asked the reason by Liu Ming's letter, Weng Tongyi felt that his scalp was numb.

So, on the afternoon of the 29th, Weng Tonggong found Li Hongzao, Huang Tifang, and Wang Renkan to discuss the matter, and the three of them thought that this matter should be handled very carefully, and in the discussion, Wang Renkan heard for the first time that Lu Hong predicted this matter, and this Ding Chou Yuanlang felt full of surprise again, and when he was chatting in Weng's mansion, he didn't think that this young man who traveled to Taixi had too many good things, but he had seen a lot.

And when Weng Tonggong asked them for advice, these three people had some ideas, Li Hongzao suggested that this matter should be directly authorized to be handled by Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang, even if it was not handled properly, it was also Li Hongzhang's responsibility, not to mention, the Qing Dynasty's current external affairs were mostly handled by Li Hongzhang, which was also in line with the system.

Huang Tifang said worriedly that the prisoner should be brought to Yanjing for interrogation, and at the same time asked the Korean royal family to make a proper statement on this, so as not to be said to find a handle to intervene in North Korean affairs.

And the champion Lang Wang In-kan said that according to the obligations of the suzerain, protecting the interests of the Korean royal family is naturally the first priority, and he suggested that the assassination case of Kim Ok-gyun be dealt with secretly!

After Weng Tonggong thought about it carefully, he always felt that there were some problems with these plans, the Korean royal family's handling of Kim Yujun's case, in fact, he didn't need to guess to know, according to the crime of rebellion, the execution was already the most benign disposition, if he was alive, Ling Chi would be the criminal law he deserved, so when the North Koreans blindly provoked him, there was almost no need to guess the result!

Seeing Weng Tongyi's contemplative appearance, Huang Tifang suddenly said: "Elder Ge, before I came, I happened to meet Lu Hong, and by the way, I asked him for his opinion......

"Oh......" Weng Tongyi raised his eyebrows and looked sideways at Huang Tifang, "Shulan, Lu Hong has some strange ideas!" ”

Huang Tifang paused, and then looked at Weng Tongyi, "Ge Lao, Lu Hong's statement is really a bit different, this Donghe foreign company is not in the British Concession, and this matter is simply a murder case of two Koreans fighting privately, we don't have to take the dead Jin Yujun seriously at all, it's just a dead Korean, how to sentence and how to punish it, isn't there a temporary court for the British in the British Concession, let the British deal with it, even if there is a problem, can he turn his face with the British, North Korea, anyway, this assassin didn't plan to go back alive!" ”

Weng Tongyi's eyes lit up when he heard Huang Tifang's idea...... This is full of people, all regard this Jin Yujun as a Korean prisoner, an important role, but no one has considered this gentle means, think about it, this is indeed a wonderful move, if so arranged, this will be a decisive decision!

Touching his beard, Weng Tong's slightly closed eyes were quite self-deprecating, I didn't expect such a troublesome thing to be dealt with by such a light means, this Lu Hong is really a little capable, he looked at Wang Renkan on the side, and suddenly remembered another important thing, and said: "Kezhuang (Wang Renkan), before supervising the matter of military discipline, the queen mother and the emperor have already said it, Lu Shi's side and the right attendant Lang Zhirui of the Ministry of Rites will do it, and the sailor side, the emperor and the queen mother value you a lot, Do you think you can afford to make this trip? ”

This matter of supervising military discipline is now on the bow, and it has to be sent, Zhirui is the cousin of Concubine Zhen, and the emperor of the dynasty is naturally satisfied with this candidate, and the supervision of various water divisions, there are not many people who can be lifted out and can be suppressed by Qingliu here, Weng Tongrong finally obviously still likes this champion.

Wang Renkan also had an excerpt this time, and strongly demanded a serious army and a clean up of corruption, but he walked beside the emperor for a long time, and his early words were quite popular with Guangxu and Cixi, but four years ago, taking advantage of the fire at Taihe Gate, he suggested that Cixi suspend the construction of the Summer Palace, but he was completely snubbed by the palace.

And although Emperor Guangxu still values him, he is actually unable to be reused, this time he actually sent him such an errand, it is really a little difficult to feel, he has done several positions of academic politics in various places over the years, but he has not had any relationship with the army......

Hearing Weng Tongyi mention this matter, he naturally understood that this was to release himself from Yanjing City from the beginning, and this errand that offended people was really not easy to do, especially if he had to put his hand into Li Hefei's bag, there was no good fruit to eat! Obviously, he is getting farther and farther away from the center of power.

"Ge Lao, since it is the emperor's will, then I will go to the ministry as soon as possible to deliver!" He was arrogant, but he didn't think much of this official situation with hindered official luck and a bleak future, and got up and took over this errand.

A few people in this room are all understanding people, and they naturally know the catty in it, and they are obviously a little unfair for him, but the wood is already in the boat, and Wang Renkan's release of this matter was actually doomed when he first admonished, and those who the Queen Mother didn't like were useless to stay in Jingshi.

Huang Tifang, who was sitting beside him, suddenly arched his hand towards Weng Tong, "Ge Lao, Kezhuang is not familiar with military affairs, and this sailor is mainly Western, the old man has the courage to recommend Lu Hong, this young man is quite familiar with military affairs, and is good at foreign affairs, if he helps Kezhuang, he can also share some things!" ”

To be honest, the other few people present did not expect Huang Tifang to recommend Lu Hong on this occasion, but the development of things is as natural as it gets, after all, these words, this young man who is proficient in foreign affairs but is willing to invest in Huang Tifang's door really surprised them a lot, and the copywriting that contributed to this matter was also from him, and it is logical to appoint him to assist Wang Renkan now......

"It's okay......" Weng Tongyi thought about it, for Lu Hong, he still has some meaning of acceptance, and now there are not many young people with real materials, especially now, when he finally has the opportunity to intervene in the army, although it is only a small intervention, he has fulfilled his long-cherished wish.

After some secret discussion, after Lu Hong came back from the bearded Anderson that day, he heard a news that surprised him.

"Lu Xian's nephew, the emperor has issued a holy decree on military discipline supervision and patrolling, and the elder of the pavilion has allowed you to judge the actual position from the political secretary of the sixth grade, and send Wang Renkan out of Beijing to do things with Qin, and the old man guarantees that you will follow Master Wang out of Beijing to do business, remember the four words of honesty and justice...... You are now clothed, I'm afraid you have to go to the ministry to donate, this matter, remember to do it quickly! The little old man looked like an elder, and explained everything in a rambling manner.

This result was somewhat unexpected by Lu Hong, he had also discussed privately with Qin Tianmin before, what he did this time was obviously enough to make Huang Tifang value, if this military discipline camp was completed, the best position to co-organize...... However, now that I hear it, it is obvious that the establishment of a separate military discipline battalion does not seem to have been recognized by the palace, but it seems that my official fortunes have begun to prosper, and as soon as I came up, I was sent from the sixth grade.

However, after he talked to Qin Tianmin about this matter, this little corrupt official didn't look down on his own hard work......
