Wang Renkan said that he had just entered the palace to meet the Guangxu Emperor, the young emperor was very diligent in his administration, and he was also very concerned about the rectification of military discipline, and he talked for a long time in the Yangxin Palace, and when he left, the little emperor also revealed an important news, the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang had reported to the court on the matter of military discipline, and asked for strict punishment of those military attachés who destroyed military discipline.

When the young emperor said the news, his expression was very relaxed, and he also praised Li Hongzhang fiercely, and he obviously looked forward to Wang Renkan more, and mentioned many times that he must find out those stubborn elements in the army when inspecting military discipline, so that the sailors of the Qing Empire can radiate their combat effectiveness.

The emperor's expectations are obviously good, however, this must make Wang Renkan feel a lot of pressure, in the eyes of the royal family, this time Qingliu attacked the military discipline group, which must be a good thing, and the outbreak of this situation obviously indicates that there is indeed a problem in the army that bears the lifeblood of the Qing Empire, and it is not even small, however, from Guangxu to Weng Tongxi, they obviously regard the supervision of military discipline as a panacea, which is obviously incomplete and unrealistic.

When he went back and was about to resign with Weng Tongyi, he ran into this kind of thing that the North Koreans tossed out, and now, looking at Lu Hong's strange expression, it was obvious that he still had reservations in the handling of this matter, which made him feel a little unhappy, and his face turned cold, "Lu Yunju, this matter is related to the fortune of the country, don't you want to worry about the elder?" ”

Lu Hong actually figured it out this time, and he made this expression, because in this matter, if you want to persuade Weng Tongyi to take a tough attitude, this actually doesn't have much effect at all, after all, it is Li Hongzhang who directly deals with the North Korean issue, and this person's energy and ability can completely make his handling method impossible for others to pick on thorns.

However, he did have another thing, he was thinking about whether he could achieve his goal through Weng Tongyi, and this North Korean matter was an opportunity, so he hurriedly saluted Wang Renkan and said: "My lord, I have some ideas, I'm afraid it's too harsh, I'm afraid it's useless to say it, but it will be reprimanded by Weng Gelao, so I hesitate!" ”

Hearing Lu Hong's explanation, Wang Renkan was also relieved in his heart, such a national event, even if this Lu Hong is well-informed, he may not be able to come up with any solution immediately, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, his expression eased, and said: "Lu Yunjuan, you might as well say that you will consult with me, I think Weng Ge is very anxious, and, as you said, I am afraid it will really cause chaos on the Korean side!" ”

The chaos on the North Korean side...... When Lu Hong heard this, he also smiled in his heart, the chaos that the sticks were making up, this is just the beginning, if it weren't for the successive situations in North Korea, the handicapped minds of the high-ranking officials who were praised as saints by later generations of the stick country, they didn't know how to survive in this chaos, otherwise, the First Sino-Japanese War might still be delayed...... But there's a point in delaying that!

In fact, although he has made in-depth explorations of China in this era, even the first-class Yue Buluo Empire of this era still maintains a courtesy respect for the huge empire of the Far East...... However, it was the complete [***] of the Manchu army that finally contributed to the complete escalation of the Qing war!

Later declassified information shows that during the First Sino-Japanese War, it was the weak combat strength of the [***] troops stationed in Korea that finally convinced the army staff headquarters of the army of the viable name of starting a war, and in all previous wars, there were great differences among the high-ranking officials of the army.

Therefore, he immediately replied: "My lord, it is said that it is a small country, and rashly challenging our China is definitely not the best policy, and the Korean matter provides an opportunity for them to test our dynasty, in my opinion, the elder should use the court to fatally reprimand the Goryeo royal family, this kind of assassination method is really not on the table, according to my estimate, if the prisoners are released, I am afraid that the dispute between the DPRK will be established, and at that time, the position of our DPRK will be difficult to grasp according to the limitations of the "Sino-Tianjin Treaty!" ”

Wang Renkan also frowned when he heard this, no wonder this guy didn't say it, he also recognized Lu Hong's judgment, this Hong Zhongyu went back, eighty percent of them would be rewarded, not convicted, it's just that although this North Korea is a vassal of the Qing Dynasty, however, such harsh methods of scolding the Korean royal family, with his judgment, there will be no follow-up......

"Lu Yunju, this ...... I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the elder to decide, and the Qing Dynasty has never had this practice! Wang Renkan's face was a little embarrassed, and asked him to refer to this method, he really didn't have any idea of improving this method, and there was really no way to talk to Weng Tongxi, he looked at Lu Hong again, "Lu Yunju, is there any other way?" ”

Lu Hong also made a contemplative look, and after a while, he said: "My lord, in fact, there is another way, since the palace thinks that it is inappropriate to hand it over to the British for conviction, it is better to be brought to Yanjing City for trial...... Even if I'm not satisfied, just drag it...... It's just that if the North Koreans do something again, it will be very bad! ”

Wang Renkan pondered for a while, it was indeed the North Koreans who were tossing around in this matter, and now that he thought about it, he scolded the North Koreans fiercely, it was not necessarily wrong, the two had a muttering discussion, he considered that he would leave Beijing the next day, and immediately rushed to Weng Mansion with Lu Hong.

When he saw Weng Tonggong, Wang Renkan naturally analyzed the results of his discussion with Lu Hong in detail, which made Lu Hong secretly give his middle finger to this guy, Weng Tonggong's expression was also quite strange after listening, he looked at Zhuang Yuanlang, and then looked at Lu Hong, he naturally vaguely guessed that most of this was the idea of Lu Yunju, who had just taken office, but this is not a good idea, I am afraid that if it is not handled properly, it will bring a bad reputation to himself, which is very bad!

"Kezhuang, this matter is not easy to handle, I will consider your proposal carefully...... I'm going out of Beijing tomorrow, so let's go back and rest! Weng Tongyi pondered that it might affect his reputation, but he was very simply ready to leave it alone, anyway, if he caused trouble, it was also Li Hongzhang's doing, but these two subordinates here, this time out of Beijing, it was definitely to earn fame for himself, he nodded to Lu Hong, "Lu Yunju, a good student to assist Bachelor Wang, you are proficient in foreign affairs, but you have to work hard!" ”

This old man actually planned to ignore this matter, Lu Hong sneered, and immediately bowed down and said loudly: "Don't worry, the lower officials will do their best...... There are two more things, after hearing this, the lower official feels that someone may use it to slander the reputation of the elder of the pavilion, please investigate it carefully! ”
