Lu Hong naturally had already thought about Wang Renkan's question. The Qing Dynasty had accumulated a lot of problems. Among them, there were definitely many sober people like Yan Fu. However, what these people could not escape was naturally the background of this dynasty. Even people like Li Hongzhang were not painting this dilapidated temple all day long.

In fact, according to his opinion, to check the military discipline of the navy, it is indeed necessary to only look at what Yan Fu said. However, since he started doing the work of a matte work by a craftsman on the spot today, he naturally had to do more visionary... The so-called words are not astonishing as they are.

He turned his head and thought for a while, bowed to Wang Renkan and said, "Sir, Youling is a connection in the navy. He has great help to our supervision of military discipline. According to what he said, he will definitely be able to do this..."

When everyone heard this, they looked at Yan Fu. Almost nothing they said could break out of the framework that this judge said. It seemed that Lu Yun could not have any new words. At this time, Lu Hong paused and spoke again, "But... the emperor made a great decision this time. The emperor ordered Lord King to take us to supervise military discipline. Obviously, it was not just for military discipline!"

As soon as he said this, Yan Fu's face, which had been slightly smiling, was stunned for a moment, and Wang Renkan was obviously more interested. He smiled slightly, stroked his short beard under his jaw and asked, "Lu Yunzong is indeed very thoughtful, the emperor's thoughts... do you say it?"

When Lu Hong heard Wang Ren's words of praise, he smiled and bowed, "Sir, the emperor is still young. I have seen many words of praise from newspapers from various countries overseas. I think the family of emperors is the right way to go for civil and military affairs. Decades ago, the Yangyang Empire was subject to the control of the great powers, but now the accumulation of Tongguang Zhongxing for thirty years is naturally necessary for a national force that matches it!"

He said this and did not continue to say it, but Wang Renkan had already nodded slightly and smiled when he heard it. It was obvious that after Lu Hong said this, the others obviously realized that what he was going to say later had never been so big that the court had purified the military discipline of the army as this time. Originally, the warriors were vulgar people, and as long as they dared to fight and not fear death, it would be enough. Looking at Wang Renkan's expression, it was obvious that what Lu Hong said had already reached the point.

Wang Renkan pondered for a moment, pointed at Lu Hong and Yan Fu, waved his hand and watched the others go down first, and then said, "I will go to visit Lord Li Zhongtang tomorrow. Although I am the emperor's imperial envoy, you should also know that if you supervise military discipline, if you don't have Li Hongzhang nodding to help, you will naturally be in trouble. You two will think about it and how to change your words tomorrow!"

When Lu Hong and Yan Fu heard that they were going to take the two to see Li Hongzhang tomorrow, Lu Hong and Yan Fu had different expressions. Lu Hong was obviously quite excited, but Yan Fu had a bitter face... This made Wang Renkan a little puzzled, "Yan Fu, what's the difficulty?"

Yan Fu frowned and bowed and said, "Sir, when Youling is in Beiyang Naval Academy, you often have the help of the middle hall. However, there are verbal conflicts. I am afraid that I will be inconvenient and complicated when I go tomorrow... The official suggested that you hand it to the adult with a copy. Lu Yun judge has extensive knowledge, and I am afraid that Lu Yun will ask him to do it for him!"

Wang Renkan said oh, but remembered that Lu Hong had indeed mentioned this matter. Yan Fu was still under Li Hongzhang's office three years ago. He was not willing to stay in the position of the Navy School's General Office, so he resigned. Of course, what he didn't know was that Yan Fu was still a big-mouthed angry young man...

Originally, Li Hongzhang stopped working here. In this era, there were too many governors who started the Westernization Affairs Office. They wanted to go to Zhang Zhidong and Chen Baozhen and others to do some work. With his qualifications, it was definitely not difficult for him to speak loudly. However, this person often talked loudly and had already criticized Zhang Zhidong. Chen Baozhen's shortcomings in the Westernization Affairs Office were criticized in the newspapers, but he had no place to settle down and had to go to Beijing to seek a job.

Lu Hong was also secretly amused when he heard this. Yan Fu was really not suitable for surviving in the Qing Dynasty officialdom. One is that he was not good at ease, and the other was that he criticized and offended people sharply. In fact, this person was able to go from teaching to general in the Beiyang Naval Academy. It has to be said that Li Hongzhang had a tolerant attitude.

Lu Hong read more about this person in the Beiyang Naval Academy in later history books. Yan Fu was a little addicted to opium and loved this in the Naval Academy. After Li Hongzhang heard about it, he met him in the school and specifically warned him about it, "You are such a talent, isn't it a pity to eat cigarettes." However, after he decided to quit smoking, he did not quit in the end!

Now that this guy has suggested not to go, it may be a good thing... The three of them discussed carefully in the house and talked about the matter in the navy. Lu Hong also had to admire Yan Fu's connections and understanding of the navy. Beiyang, Nanyang, Guangzhou Navy, Fujian Navy, and this guy seems to know a lot of people. This guy has been teaching in the navy school for ten years, but it is not a waste of time!

The next morning, Yang Shixiang came to invite Wang Renkan to come over, and Lu Hong was naturally with him. As a result, after Yang Shixiang and Wang Renkan walked and chatted a few times, they turned around and looked at Lu Hong carefully, which made him quite surprised...

When he arrived at the main hall of the back wing of the Governor's Mansion, Lu Hong saw a group of people wearing various official uniforms surrounded by a tall old man standing on the porch. Everyone deliberately hunched over. The old man looked like he was no less than me, which made Lu Hong guess his identity immediately...

Wang Renkan obviously respected this boss very much. He had already walked a few steps away from a distance and bowed to him, "The old central hall is very ashamed to welcome him out of the middle door!"

Li Hongzhang waited for Wang Renkan to finish his speech calmly, and then he calmly hugged his hands and huh, "Zhuangcai Lang, I haven't seen you for a long time. I can go smoothly on the way... Come... Come... Come and invite you inside!"

Li Hongzhang turned his head slightly and waited for Wang Renkan to walk to him. According to the rules of the officialdom, Wang Renkan was the emperor's imperial envoy, and his identity outside represented the emperor. Even a first-rank official like Li Hongzhang, he would naturally be like seeing the emperor when he saw the imperial envoy... However, Wang Renkan was obviously also an old official. When he walked to Li Zhongtang, he stopped immediately and stretched out his hand, "Old Zhongtang, please ask first!"

The two of them made some courtesy at the door, and then they walked into the main hall together. When they got inside, Lu Hong had long been dazzled by the colorful tops of the room. To be honest, in addition to knowing that the beasts painted on the official robe representing various official ranks, he really didn't understand the glass beads on the hat.

As for the people in this room, he just noticed a little. The civil servants' patches are all pheasants, peacocks, and wild geese, and at least they are third-rank officials. The military officers have higher grades, at least they are lions, and there are also several first-rank supplements of Qilin. This surprised him very much. I think that the people in this room are obviously not unknown juniors, but... it is obvious that Old Li does not seem to have an intention to introduce them, otherwise Lu Hong would be very interested in getting to know them.

After sitting down, although Lu Hong was a guest, his official rank from the sixth rank was too small as sesame and mung beans. Yang Shixiang, who was wearing the third rank, politely let him sit down on his left. Of course, no one in the room paid attention to his small slogan.

"Mr. Wang, the central hall has been worried about supervising military discipline these days!" As soon as she sat down, Yang Shixiang had already gotten up and smiled and said the topic. He asked for an introduction, so of course he had planned it long ago, so he could find out what the top scholar meant.

Wang Renkan showed a surprised expression, and then bowed to Li Hongzhang, "Old Zhongtang, I was ordered by the emperor to do my best, so I naturally have to perform my duties and share my worries for the emperor. I think the old Zhongtang is the same as I think!"

"The top scholar, I am naturally so thoughtful... I am afraid I am old and weak, and I can't serve the court as I did in my early years!" Li Hongzhang said with a stern face and bowed to the north.

After hearing this, Wang Renkan knew that this was Lao Li's reliance on his seniority. Seven or eight out of ten of the Qing army came from the Huai Army. If anyone was to be respectful, he would not be able to find a second one except Lao Li. However, this person has always done this point without any leakage, and even the one in the deep palace trusts him very much...

"Old Zhongtang, you are too worried. The emperor is wise and powerful. This order to supervise military discipline is of course of a deep meaning!" Wang Renkan immediately played the emperor's invincible card. Anyway, no one would question what happened to the emperor.

When Lao Li heard this, he could naturally hear something outside the words, and he didn't need to use his color at all. An old man with long beards next to him had already spoken, "Sir Wang, the emperor is wise and intelligent, and I am foolish, but I don't know what I did? I heard that Lord Zhirui has become the master of Qingtian in Baoding Mansion!"

Wang Renkan naturally recognized this, Li Hongzhang's old aide, Zhou Fu, now the governor of Zhili. At this moment, Old Li sat upright on the chair of the Grand Master, looking calm and composed. Obviously, these two people were the main attacker and the other were the main defense, so they were going to trick themselves! The corner of the mouth raised slightly and looked at Lu Hong...

"Old Zhongtang, Lord Zhirui is very new, but he is very sensible... When the emperor left the capital, he was summoned by the emperor. The emperor didn't ask for much, and he just hoped that after the revival of Tongguang, there would be no humiliation of the past!" His words were quite tactful, and the meaning was very clear. Since the emperor made the Huai clan dominant, the Huai clan must be able to pacify the world for the Qing Dynasty.

"The imperial envoy Wang is indeed a long-term conspirator. Now that all countries come to the court, even if they are as powerful as the British Empire, they will not be in conflict with our Qing Dynasty. The Zhongtang has been practicing military training, trained millions of troops with Western methods, and built the first-class navy in Asia. I am afraid no one dares to stroke the Chinese tiger beard for decades!" Yang Shixiang bowed his hand with a smile. As soon as these words were spoken, dozens of officials below nodded frequently. Li Zhongtang had been in Western Affairs for thirty years. The so-called strong ships and powerful cannons of foreigners have long existed!

Wang Renkan smiled slightly, but did not touch her, but spread her fingers and pointed at Lu Hong, "Old Zhongtang, my escort has also been abroad for many years. Nowadays, countries may not be as optimistic as Lord Yang about the Far East..."
