Chapter 47 Li Hongzhang's Invitation

Later, Yan Fu frowned and walked out of Wang Renkan's cabin. He pondered for a moment beside the steamer's side. When he went to see Wang Renkan before, he was not going to get in touch with his superiors, but to advise the top scholar. Regarding the supervision of the military discipline of the navy, he had a lot of connections with the Beiyang Navy before and had a deep understanding of the affairs in the military.

However, after reading the copywriting he carefully prepared, the top scholar did not seem to have expressed much. He just praised him for a few words and asked him to come in. This made him quite puzzled. Although he already knew that Lu Hong had experience in studying abroad, he might not be convinced that this young man who was much younger than him.

When Lu Hong came to meet Wang Renkan with his own itinerary, the top scholar took out a copy of "The Essentials of Military Discipline Inspection", "Lu Yun, look at this copy... Yan Youling is indeed a talent. I really didn't care too much when I heard you mentioned it before. Today, I read the statement he wrote, which is clear and the argument is good!"

"Sir, Yan Fu is indeed a talent for use!" Lu Hong immediately responded. He had guessed that it was Yan Fu's draft. After taking it and taking it carefully, he had to admire this guy's understanding of the navy... The experience of Mawei Shipbuilding School and Beiyang Naval Academy created a connection for him that others could not reach. Lu Hong had also heard of some of the information mentioned in this copy in later generations, and he was planning to use it this time, and some other content was something he had never heard of before, so he secretly recorded it.

Yan Fu's actions were somewhat beyond Lu Hong's expectations, but they were reasonable. After Lu Hong came out, he naturally had to carefully consider how to deal with the problem... Turning around the carriage, he saw Yan Fuzheng standing at the stern of the boat!

"Brother Yan Fu, why are you free here?" Lu Hong greeted with a smile.

When Yan Fu saw this, he gave a respectful greeting, "Mr. Lu, I'm idle, I'm just watching the beautiful scenery on the river!"

Lu Hong smiled slightly. Yan Fu had never expected the many titles he would receive from later generations. This guy is now in the confusion of his career. "Brother Yan Fu, the beautiful scenery is just a mirror and water. I just saw your copywriting from Master Wang, which is rigorous. However, you may not understand the causes and consequences of this supervision of military discipline!"

His words immediately made Yan Fu look puzzled. He naturally saw in the capital and heard Qingliu people gritting their teeth and criticizing the corruption in the army today. Of course, with his understanding of the army, these criticized issues were obviously not made out of nothing... However, in his opinion, this was actually just a factional battle in the court, and the reason why he participated was because he felt that he had a place to use it.

After Lu Hong talked about his inference of the Sino-Japanese War and the expenditure of the entire huge military, Yan Fu's expression changed immediately. The two stood at the stern and talked happily, while Yan Fu kept asking questions, all about the topic of war, and his expression became more and more serious.

Speaking of later, Lu Hong took out the copy of the reform of military discipline he had planned. Yan Fu only read a few lines and was already shocked by the content that could be called "creating the world"... When the two of them slowly returned to the cabin, Lu Hong had clearly felt that the simple relationship between the two had changed a little.

However, Qin Tianmin was obviously quite wary of Yan Fu, and after a while, he came to make a small report, "My benefactor, you have to be careful with Yan Fu. I just learned that this guy has an unusual connection in the Beiyang army!"

Lu Hong naturally smiled at this. When he went to the army, it was the time to use people. Yan Youling was a rare talent, so how could he give up easily? He had already planned that anyway, the future was long, and all he had to do was to take steady steps.

The next morning, the small steamer boarded the Tianjin Weizi Zhulin Wharf. As the first stop of this trip, Wang Renkan did not intend to miss it. He brought the emperor's imperial edict and his identity was not an ordinary official. Sure enough, he soon saw a young and tall official greeting him with a ticket at the dock.

The official saw Wang Renkan slowly walking across the pier and immediately came up with a smile. After giving a respectful gift, he said loudly: "Yang Shixiang, a Taoist in Tianjin, welcomes the envoy Wang Qin!"

Wang Renkan obviously knew this person, and even Lu Hong behind him was very familiar with this name. Yang Pingshi is now the number one think tank around Li Hongzhang. He came to visit him in person today, which shows that Li Hongzhang of the Huai Group attaches great importance to the supervision of military discipline.

After some politeness, Yang Shixiang brought the crowd into the carriage and chatted while walking, and Lu Hong quickly attracted his attention. The young Lu Yunzong was just a small sixth-rank official position, but what was puzzled was that Wang Renkan seemed to obey his words.

Lu Hong had already received the instruction of Wang Renkan. After being slightly polite, he immediately got into the topic, "Mr. Yang, the Military Affairs Office agreed to be appointed as a brave soldier who was an imperial envoy. I hope to get it done as soon as possible... There are many Tianjin Weiwu Preparatory Schools, so I think there will be no major problems in this matter, right?"

Yang Shixiang came to welcome the imperial envoy Wang Renkan today, so he was not just a simple person to pick up people. He also had a mission. When Lu Hong mentioned this, wasn’t it just to find some soldiers to serve as a man, he immediately responded, “Lu Yun, there is no problem with this matter. Tianjin Martial Arts and Tianjin Navy estimated that there must be two thousand people larger than Huai Group, and they are all elites. If the adults want to recruit, there will be no problem. Please check it more!”

After this matter was implemented, Lu Hong naturally did not harass Yang Shixiang. Instead, Yang Shixiang invited Wang Renkan to rest at the Governor's Office, saying that Li Hongzhang wanted to discuss the supervision of military discipline with Wang Xueshi in detail, which surprised Lu Hong. In his consciousness, this far-reaching modern influence Lord Li Zhongtang had a very big conflict with the Qingliu faction.

However, he has never seen this Lord Li Zhongtang so far, and Lu Hong is too lazy to think about this matter. The first thing he has to consider now is to establish this small camp that belongs to him. On this point, he has long considered Yan Fu's relationship with Tianjin Martial Arts School and Beiyang Naval Academy.
