Yang Hao didn't mention any conditions, and simply retired.

Such a decisive approach surprised Li Hongzhang, who thought he would climb up the pole. Bieder, who is proficient in Chinese and foreign cultures, feels more and more that this young man is unusual!

"Prime Minister, I beg your pardon. This kind of dangerous elements, which may bring great uncertainty to the stability of the empire that you manage as a whole, should be eradicated as much as possible. If they are allowed to grow, the consequences are very likely to be worrying. ”

As an important member of the shogunate, he had the responsibility and the need to remind him to make the right decisions at all times.

Li Hongzhang is over seventy years old, and the glory of this life has reached its peak. Most of the things he thinks about next have to do with the name behind him. This is the common problem of Mr. Daoxue's scholars, who are too interested in fame, and even do whatever it takes to do so, often doing things that are almost the same as neuropathy in the eyes of later generations.

Maintaining the political stability of the Qing court for decades, Li Hongzhang, a pasteur, has fulfilled his responsibilities. What he hoped for was that while he was alive, this dilapidated house would not collapse, so as to leave him with a coffin that would start and finish.

As for the flood after he died!

To use a modern word to describe Li Hongzhang's governing program, that is, "stability overwhelms one qiē", which is why he is not willing to fight. Regardless of whether Japan wins or loses, the result is that the Beiyang power is greatly weakened, his power is lost, and the threat of foreigners is increasing day by day. No matter how many years there are still to live in the future, don't think about being comfortable in that day.

It is from this perspective that Bidge proposes to build yì.

Li Hongzhang unexpectedly did not adopt it. Pick up the invitation again. Said leisurely: "Do you think the old man hasn't thought about it?" However, from its first appearance. When I took out the entire Japanese spy information in China, I knew that they were extremely difficult to deal with. Therefore, he deliberately let go of the sidelines. ”

Bidger's brow jumped, and his mind quickly thought for a moment, and then he realized that this was indeed the best way to do it in desperation.

He himself is an excellent soldier and understands the difficulties of intelligence work. It takes a long time to deploy and destroy the intelligence network, and a huge investment of resources is required. All the necessary professional skills. It was a top-level system that only the power of the state could guarantee smooth operation.

The Japanese have been preparing for many years, and with the full participation of the military, government, businessmen, and outstanding young people, they finally came up with such a set of spy networks, and Yang Hao even lifted off the foundation as soon as he made a move.

How much of a base does this need to be sustained? Even if the balance army that shook half the country back then, it couldn't do it.

Judging from this point of view, Yang Hao's body is an extremely large organization with unfathomable power.

If Li Hongzhang were 20 years younger, he would definitely be in good spirits, arrange troops, and mobilize the strength of the whole country. Dig up this organization by the roots and sweep it away in one fell swoop.

But now. He's in his seventies. After tossing for a lifetime, he just wants to fool An Sheng for a few years now. As long as Yang Hao didn't move the crowd to dig up his coffin, in fact, he was not very happy to cause more trouble.

This subtle change is just like the last years of Kangxi. Do you really think that these old and sophisticated top people can't see the world's faults and hidden crises?

They know it all!

But what if you know? Those people, those forces, any one of them is involved in all aspects, and a little pull is a big piece. If you don't make a big move, don't try to make a profit.

Later, Emperor Yongzheng spent decades fighting with more than a dozen other brothers like Gu raised, and finally stood out and became the emperor. It took more than ten years for such a strongman to finally rectify all kinds of abuses in the last years of Kangxi.

You must know that he is in the prime of his life for more than ten years! What about Li Hongzhang? There are old arms and legs, and there are a lot of clear stream constraints that can't be done except to make a little constructive work out of the way.

This kind of thankless, Lao Li will not cause trouble for himself.

Biedger has been by his side for a long time, and as soon as he compares the pros and cons, he knows that this is no way. However, he still dutifully reminded: "Judging by my observations, this is a very restless young man. He doesn't have any reverence for you in his bones, not even the authority of the emperor and the majesty of the empire. ”

Li Hongzhang slowly bowed his head: "The old man also felt it." I also think it's strange, where in this world can such people be cultivated? ”

In today's world, the most powerful countries have emperors. Whether based on blood or tradition, young people are subtly instilled with a large number of hierarchical rules from an early age. These rules, as they grow up, naturally enter the whole big society and the strict system of the big environment. Find your own position and go up step by step according to the conventional rules.

The whole world is like this. But on Yang Hao, Li Hongzhang found that there was no such trace!

Since ancient times, all those who have this kind of natural emptiness have either committed great treachery or great loyalty. In short, as long as they don't die by mistake, they will definitely be able to achieve a great cause that shocks the world!

Judging from Li Hongzhang's physiognomy skills, Yang Hao is not short-lived. On the contrary, he is dignified, energetic, and full of vitality between actions. It shows that he is not lazy, has a good heart, and has a very high executive ability. Success, already to be expected.

If a dragon that "leaps into the abyss" wants to beat it down, it must "fight the dragon in the wild, and its blood is yellow".

Li Hongzhang asked himself, it was a loss-making transaction. He won the battle, and he was inevitably exhausted and ended up with a "dragon with regrets". What about losing? Yang Hao will be able to "fly the dragon in the sky" immediately, and he will still be unlucky.

Yang Hao has a foundation, money, and force, and today he shows that he is flexible and mobile that people admire. This big dragon can't be killed at all. In that case, why should he bother himself?

Bidger was also at a loss. He thinks that today's America is the freest and most vibrant place in the world. There is room for any ideological and organizational toss-up, but it will not allow the existence of a strong Chinese system.

Except there, China itself was purged by the Qing court for two hundred years of killing. Even if he hid in the deep mountains and old forests, he was still found out one by one by the monk power controlled by Emperor Yongzheng. After that, there were 60 years of Qianlong enjoying happiness.

The appearance of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was also a crack under the impact of the Opium War, and it was forcibly repaired and bridged by Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang.

It's strange to think about it!

Bidger suppressed his confusion and asked, "So, when you go to the auction three days later, will the signal released cause misunderstanding in other aspects?" ”

Li Hongzhang smiled meaningfully: "Wouldn't it be good to let those guys with idle paws itch think about it more?" ”

Didn't Weng Tongyi's gang think about taking away the power of the old man's men all day long? Okay, wow, then I'll give you some more weight. I want to see how big a little guy surnamed Yang can come out of a fight with a bunch of old shameless people!

Bide Gedden understood the old prime minister's intentions, and couldn't help but sigh deeply, the Chinese's strategic struggle is really a stitch, everywhere!

Besides, Yang Hao went out of the Beiyang Yamen and led his followers to get in the car and leave.

Zhou Jianhao, who was in the car from the beginning, listened to the scene with Yang Hao's personal eavesdropper, and asked suspiciously: "Sir, Li Hongzhang seems to have agreed too happily." Did he have other plans? ”

All kinds of changes that may be encountered in advance have been discussed by Yang Hao and these young elites in their twenties. There is a direct refusal, and there is a big stick to drive people away - if Yang Hao's asking price is too high. There are also some useless things thrown out to send them away, and Li Hongzhang really did it.

But agreeing to go to the auction is a blatant support.

Don't look at the so many invitations sent out by Yang Hao, the only one he personally delivered to the door. The rest are all subordinates, or ask people to run errands. Those bunch of scholars, princes, and bureaucrats, where would they look at a bunch of businessmen? Besides, they didn't know that it was these terrible things that were going to be auctioned, and it would be a big face to send a porter to show his face when the time came.

Li Hongzhang is deaf and clear-sighted, and has many minions, so he can naturally find out. When the time came, he suddenly appeared, which was simply a clear expression of standing on his feet and cheering. With the prestige of Beiyang just winning the battle today, who dares not to give three points of face!

Yang Hao nodded affirmatively: "There must be a calculation." The key is our preparations, at least for now, to ensure that the auction will be a success. ”

Zhou Jianhao agreed, and asked: "So, what should we do about the original agreement that we will take the Qingdao port and shipyard?" ”

Yang Hao was confident: "Don't worry." It's ours, and we can't run away! ”

He invested in Li Hongzhang, of course, asking for returns, but it was not the interest of the official position, but to occupy Qingdao Kou and Jiaozhou Bay, which have not been developed much now, to the open!

It is Li Hongzhang's territory, and there are more than 3,000 people stationed in Gao Yuan, the general soldier. Yang Hao wants to get it, unless he immediately pulls the flag and rebels, he can't get around the old man. The timing is still not right today, he didn't spit out, but judging from the other party's reaction and attitude, this matter is not a big problem.

With Qingdao Kou, Yang Hao can quickly establish a military port, a large shipyard, and a series of related machinery industries there. By the way, you will be able to slowly transfer and install your own private fleet and private regimental training troops, and use them as bases on the surface to expand and develop.

Occupying this sub-pivotal place that is enough to stir up the far east wind clouds, the Yang Group, the great cause of changing the dynasty, really embarked on the journey!

Three days later, the auction in the American Concession was officially held as usual. The hidden place that has been covered up by the group and secretly constructed for nearly three months is unveiled! (To be continued......)
