ps: Stuck a little, continue to reply to updates.

Yang Hao did things so carefully, not impatient and scheming, the key was that he was looking for Yan Fuqi, not necessarily impatient with him and intervening too much.

Yan Fu has great talents, and even Li Hongzhang takes a fancy to him, not only to promote him to his side for reuse, but also to accept him as a disciple. However, Yan Fu was conceited and refused to agree, so although he served as the general office of the Beiyang Sailor School, he "did not anticipate the opportunity". If you don't want to be a family, you can't be reused.

In addition, he had a big mouth, which shook out the fact that Li Hongzhang was deceived by the Guangdong Tax Department De Huanglin, which made the government and the opposition laugh at Li Zhongtang. Li Hongzhang can still ensure that he is the back-up platform, and give him the convenience of "making up for the vacancy first", which can be said to be very interesting.

According to the opinion of ordinary people, since you Yan Youling hugged Li Hongzhang's thigh, then follow it well, and your career will be bright. He is biased, he is as proud as Yan Fu, and he will never keep leading people to fall on horses. Probably because he saw clearly that in today's officialdom, people who are not from the orthodox imperial examination will never want to be their own faction, in order to have the opportunity to display their talents wantonly, he would rather go back and study the Four Books and Five Classics hard before entering the examination room.

Last year, Yan Fu returned to Fujian for the fourth time to take the imperial examination, but he failed again. Now he is depressed, and because of coughing and asthma, he has been smoking, and he is more and more rejected by officialdom.

At this time, Yan Fu probably finally realized that it was unrealistic for him to fight against the rules of officialdom that had been formed for thousands of years. Seeing that the people who were in the same class as him at the beginning were all on the rise, but they were enthusiastic but had no way to serve the country, they were depressed and lost in their hearts, and it was difficult to express it.

In the final analysis, Yan Fu is a man who is talented but ignorant of current affairs, and his character determines his fate and is destined to become a tragedy.

However, at this time, Yang Hao was born out of nowhere, bringing something that made his eyes shine, and let him see another avenue to heaven that can display his talents to the fullest and make a deafening roar in today's faint current affairs!

Therefore, Yan Fucai agreed so happily, purely because Yang Hao was too good at the right time!

Yang Hao only learned about Yan Fu's personality from the various materials he collected, and he couldn't say much when they met for the first time, but he just threw stones and asked for directions. How far we can go, but we still have to slowly observe and learn from each other.

As far as I know at present, the comments from all sides are summed up, and it can only be judged that as long as Yan Fu's interest is aroused and he agrees, then the rest of the things probably only need Yang Hao to provide relevant information and intelligence, and the theme of "Guowen Daily" will not deviate, and it is enough to do a good job in distribution and public opinion guidance and use. With Yan Fu's great talent, he will only do things that are more suitable for contemporary needs.

Compared with the rush of the Yang family and a group of people, Yan Fu's mind is much more meticulous. Just after Yang Hao left, Yan Fu immediately spread out the pen and paper and corrected and polished the articles in the newspaper. --- Chinese of the 21st century, because all the students learn are vernacular, and the articles written are full of deviant grammatical words.

Since Yan Fu wants to be the editor-in-chief, at least he can't let people find fault in this regard.

For the rest of the night, the coughing sound in Yan's house rang out from time to time. Yang Hao could also hear it in the courtyard next door, sighed, recorded the observations, and turned around to ask his mother to prescribe medicine for the proposed prescription. In any case, you have to quit his ** addiction first.

At this time, Tianjin Wei, because of Yang Hao's intervention, has already turned into a pot of porridge!

Sheng Xuanhuai didn't wait to bring someone to catch the Japanese spy, and the British came to the door first. When the two sides met, they realized that their target was the same group of people!

Last night, the British Concession Bureau of the Ministry of Industry took a lot of effort to extinguish the fire and avoid spreading to the surrounding area, and then when it was investigated, it was shocked to find that the people of Songchang Foreign Company, who were the owners of the incident, had actually run out! And in the garbage heap of the fire field, find the remains of guns that have not been burned, as well as the hidden tunnels!

Deliberate arson, explosions, firearms, tunnels, which is what an ordinary foreign company should look like? The British immediately blocked the entry and exit, investigated overnight, and finally learned that those people had run out!

Of course, at this time, the British did not know that the people of Songchang were Japanese spies, and they were only spies planted by the Qing government, or someone. In short, the registered information is from the Qing Dynasty, so he angrily ran to the yamen to find faults, but learned the inside story from Sheng Xuanhuai.

Sheng Xuanhuai was taken aback at the time! It's a bit of a coincidence. Yang Hao came to tell him the details in the morning, and the British then came to him, originally asking for the surrender of the murderer, but now it was changed to a joint arrest. In this, what role does the surnamed Yang play?

The time was too hurried, but he couldn't help thinking about it seriously. On the one hand, he sent people to block all checkpoints in Tianjin, carried out searches and arrests outside the city, and then went to meet Li Hongzhang with the British consul in Tianjin, Bowsted, in Beiyang Yamen, to discuss how to confirm Japan's culpability and further condemn related matters.

About the front and back, Zhang Peilun also led people to arrest Li Hongzhang's nephew and others. Liu Di and Wang Kaijia couldn't stand the scare at all, and immediately vomited ** instead of a qiē. The funny thing is that they didn't even think about the importance of secrecy, and they didn't suspect that there was a problem with the many military information of the people who sued Sù Songchang Foreign Company. But Li Hongzhang's unlucky nephew Zhang Shiheng didn't understand the situation from beginning to end.

Li Hongzhang almost blew up his lungs, and immediately asked people to drag the two idiots out and cut them down, and took Zhang Shiheng's errand, and rushed home to reflect.

The arrival of the British consul Justin made Li Hongzhang feel unprecedented urgency, although there was no saying that "diplomacy is no trivial matter" in these years, and the British and French were involved, so it could not be handled as sloppily as before.

But fortunately, before the outbreak of the First Sino-Japanese War, the Great Qing Kingdom did not take Japan too seriously, so naturally there was no fear of them. Britain has not yet decided which one to support, and in terms of overall policy, the personnel in China are more inclined to Qing Guo. After all, the northern part of the Qing Dynasty was directly bordered by Russia, with a large population, sufficient troops, and a large size, and the potential for containment was significantly greater than that of Japan.

The Qing government's attitude towards Japanese spies was also intolerant, and it was even more annoyed. Li Hongzhang sent a telegram to the governors of all provinces, reminding them to immediately send people to arrest and search according to the list, and sent a letter to the French minister, asking them to allow Shanghai Daotai to cooperate in the arrest of Nezuichi and others, the spy leader in the small hotel, who were hiding on Father Jin Road in the French Concession.

In the evening, telegrams were sent from various localities one after another, arresting dozens of criminals, and the preliminary interrogation had already been confessed, and it was confirmed that they were Japanese secret agents. At this point, the intelligence information provided by Yang Hao was no longer suspicious, and Li Hongzhang immediately ordered the excerpt of the impeachment of Zhang Zhidong to be sent to the capital for 800 miles, and then the last one sent a telegram to inform him.

The British consul, Justin Just, also reported to the minister, Sir Ogne, and lodged a solemn protest against the fact that the Japanese had openly set up spy agencies in the British concession, and ordered Japan to give an explanation.

Li Hongzhang was busy sweating, looking at the darkness outside, and estimated that Zhang Nanpi didn't want to eat dinner tonight, and the unhappiness in his heart was much lighter.

Zhang Peilun was accustomed to figuring out his intentions, and specially made a joke: "The spy gang of Le Shantang can all come from Hankou. If Zhang Xiangtao does not move quickly, so that the bandit leader escapes, this is not easy to explain. Even if he was caught, he would not escape the crime of negligence. ”

The last one informed Zhang Zhidong that it could be said that he was sure that the news was correct for the sake of safety, but who could have known that the Japanese would not have any other news channels to inform Hankou Leshantang in advance? Even though the time difference is only half a day, it is enough to change a lot.

Li Hongzhang waved his hand: "This little thing can't hurt him Zhang Nanpi, at most let him stop for two days, and making amends is the urgent task at the moment." It must be clarified whether the Japanese really dare to take the risk of disapproval and plot against Korea and the Qing Dynasty. ”

Li Jingfang, who served as a minister in Japan for three years, said: "Japan has always been arrogant and rebellious, and it always has to do something beyond its own strength. With their strength, they will not dare to provoke head-on. However, the Japanese people advocate the use of surprise and deceit, and gamble their lives at every turn, but they must prevent them from taking risks and breaking out. ”

"Hmph, Erxiao Bang, forgive him and don't dare!"

Li Hongzhang waved his hand indifferently: "The war is based on money and food, can they afford their little military and financial resources?" However, I still have to remind Ding Ruchang to be cautious and not to go wrong. If something really happens and disturbs the Queen Mother's 60th birthday, it won't be easy to clean up. ”

Li Jingfang could only sigh. In the past few years in Japan, he coincided with the peak of the shipbuilding wave of Japan's "Sixth Naval Expansion Plan", and he knew that this crazy small country would not hesitate to do its best to expand. The "First Phase of the Arms Expansion Plan for the Qing Dynasty" drawn up by it added as many as 70,000 tons of new ships alone, which was enough to surpass the entire Beiyang Naval Division. It is self-evident who the target is.

In recent years, Japan has been advancing inch by inch, constantly oppressing from the periphery, and its plot has long been clearly exposed, and today's spy network all over the country is actually the backbone of the Japanese businessmen who are completely defenseless from all over the Qing Dynasty, and it is even more clear that they have no idea of provoking war.

What's more, the Japanese have always liked to use petty tricks to deliberately humiliate and provoke others, as a way to test their reactions and attitudes. They say "I'm causing you trouble", but they are looking for trouble where you care most.

Li Hongzhang is worried that the incident will affect the 60th birthday of the Empress Dowager Cixi, but he is afraid that the Japanese are asking her to have a bad birthday this time!

Helpless, what Li Jingfang saw, thought of, and reminded Li Hongzhang was rarely adopted. Lord Zhongtang is conceited to run foreign affairs and diplomacy, and no one in the world can compare with him, but he is a junior who pretends to be amazing. And Zhang Peilun, a clear-stream scholar, can't see how quickly the outside world is changing, and is immersed in the dream of "Heavenly Empire" all day long, focusing on intrigue and intrigue, ignorance of current affairs, and net help.
