    "Kun Yu is a sincere person. If I were offended by this, it would be too unkind." Zhang Peilun smiled slightly, raised his hand and bowed to Lin Yizhe. In one sentence, he gently removed this embarrassing paragraph, letting Lin Yizhe  I can't help but admire Zhang Peilun's well-spoken words.  "I heard about Youqiao's name from Brother Tao a long time ago. I'm so happy to see you today." Lin Yizhe said, "I've always wanted to visit Youqiao, just because I already have the reputation of 'ghost slave' and 'foreign demon'  , I went there rashly, for fear of causing trouble to Youqiao, so I haven't been able to go. I hope Youqiao will forgive me. " "Haha, Kunyu should ignore the gossip of those ignorant people," Zhang Peilun said with a smile.  Zhang came to visit Kunyu today, and there will definitely be a lot of people talking behind the scenes. Zhang just goes with what they say. After all, it is not up to them to decide what is pure and what is turbid."  "What Youqiao said is true." After hearing Zhang Peilun's words, Lin Yizhe's eyes flashed with admiration.  Although he is a member of Qingliu, Zhang Peilun's character and character are indeed beyond the comparison of those "hometown wishes".  Recalling Zhang Peilun¡¯s experience in the original historical time and space, Lin Yizhe secretly sighed in his heart.  Zhang Peilun is the leader of the "Four Admonitions of the Qingliu". He was a Jinshi at the age of 23, a censor at the age of 34, and a minister of the Prime Minister's Yamen at the age of 35. He is already a rising political star in the "Beiqingliu" who can take over the mantle of Li Hongzao, Minister of Military and Aircraft and Tongzhi Emperor.  It's a pity that he suffered the defeat of Ma Jiang at the age of 36 and his reputation was ruined.  After several years of exile, he was already alone when he returned to Beijing. Fortunately, Li Hongzhang took him in and promised him his beloved daughter.  Think tank.  Zhang Peilun and Li Hongzhang are old friends.  He also has the intention of being a son-in-law, and he is a key figure in Li Hongzhang's shogunate who can praise Xiang Xiang's secrets and even influence Li Hongzhang's analysis and judgment of things.  The Battle of Majiang was a turning point in Zhang Peilun's career from prosperity to decline. The leader of the "Four Remonstrances of Qingliu" in the past would be the Fujian Minister of Maritime Affairs after this defeat.  He immediately became Zhao Kuo and Ma Su who lived in the present.  Even when he later married Li Hongzhang's youngest daughter, Ju Ou, as a banished soldier, some people ridiculed him with the couplet: "The old woman marries a young woodcutter, Li Hongzhang does not distinguish between old and young; when he leaves the east table, he becomes the west table, and Zhang Peilun is not a thing."  Despite this, after the Battle of Majiang, Zhang Peilun talked about the defeat of Majiang with his friends.  But he is always calm and calm, and such a magnanimous state of mind is beyond the reach of others!  And now, even though none of this has happened, Lin Yizhe has gained a new perception of Zhang Peilun from what Zhang Peilun just said.  Li Hongzhang is the same as himself.  Undoubtedly, he is a very typical realist, which can be seen from his famous saying, "Life is like morning dew. If you get it in time and accomplish one or two great undertakings to help the world and bring peace to the people, won't it be more than just words?"  Zhang Peilun, on the other hand, is a standard idealist. As far as the historical records about Zhang Peilun that Lin Yizhe has read, this former celebrity has a prosperous career and a bumpy career.  They have never changed their adherence to traditional Confucian ethics, whether it was when he first entered the Yushitai, he challenged Wang Wenshao, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, who was suspected of corruption, with a piece of wolf hair, or later he rode northward alone after the Gengzi Revolution.  Entering Li Hongzhang's shogunate and adopting "the strategy of exhausting paintings, diligent kings, and military affairs" was also due to his persistence in the traditional Confucian thought of "family and country first".  The reason why Li Hongzhang appreciates and cares for Zhang Peilun is certainly due to his friendship with Zhang Peilun's father Zhang Yintang when he fought side by side. I am afraid it is more due to his admiration for Zhang Peilun's "serious service" attitude towards life and his respect for Zhang Peilun.  The life ideal of "taking the family, country and world as one's own responsibility" is closely related to his heart.  The "family, country and world" pursued by the idealist Zhang Peilun coincides with the "great cause of helping the world and bringing peace to the people" that the realist Li Hongzhang strives for. This is probably the fundamental reason why Li Hongzhang has favored Zhang Peilun throughout his life!  "Kunyu is determined to make progress and does his work with sincerity. He handles foreign affairs without avoiding slander. I can't do anything better. Kunyu must not worry about being famous for this. You must know that a hundred years from now, there will be people who know Kunyu." Zhang Peilun said in a sincere tone.  , "As the saying goes, 'endure it, avoid it, let it go, be patient with it, respect it, ignore it. Let's see it in a few years.' In order to succeed in the great cause of managing the world and benefiting the people, we must endure some, give up some, and retreat some."  Even if it's a bit bad, why not?" Hearing Zhang Peilun's words to comfort him, Lin Yizhe felt a warm current in his heart.  At this time, when he faced Zhang Peilun, he actually felt like he had known him for a long time.  Lin Yizhe is a realist, and Zhang Peilun can be said to be an idealist, but they both have the same view on this matter, that is, the meaning of life lies more in the realization of goals, while means and principles are not.  It serves the final result.  Compared with everything in front of you, the future results are the most important.All scattered.  Lin Yizhe laughed and said, "Among the gentlemen in Qingliu, the one who really knows me is the young woodcutter."  " "Kunyu, you don't have to be polite," Zhang Peilun said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Zhang came here today just to ask Kunyu for advice on this matter of foreign affairs. At least he will end up being a prostitute.  hehe.  " "I don't dare to ask for advice, but please let me know, you know. Lin knows everything and will tell you everything."  " Lin Yizhe said, "In the past, Wenbo Chuanzhongtang commented on the Qingliu scholars and ranked Brother Youqiao as the most intelligent!  When I saw him today, I realized that Wen Zhongtang really knew how to know people, and that Brother Youqiao was a magnanimous gentleman, and Lin admired him.  "His admiration at this time was completely heartfelt. The defeat of Ma Jiang in 1884 was more due to the fact that the new military ministers who came to power after the "Jiashen Yishu" had no experience in foreign affairs, but they had no experience in personal affairs.  Zhang Peilun and the Fujian Shipbuilding Navy, who were on the front line, intervened - just the instruction "If they don't move, I won't move first" restrained the Shipbuilding Navy's fists and feet.  The central command of "Don't fire the first shot" forced the officers and soldiers of the Fujian Shipping Navy to watch helplessly as the French ship sailed into the Majiang River and allowed it to seize advantageous positions and hand over the opportunity to start the war.  , how can he be undefeated? But after Ma Jiang's defeat, these central military ministers placed all the responsibility for the failure on Zhang Peilun's head. However, when Zhang Peilun looked back on Ma Jiang's defeat in the future, he did not pay any attention to this.  The military and military ministers expressed their resentment. They would rather endure the humiliation and consider the dignity of the court. For the sake of the overall situation of the court, they could ignore the possible reputation of being a "ghost slave and evildoer". This attitude of taking the overall situation into consideration made Lin Yizhe.  I can¡¯t help but write the word "submit" to Zhang Peilun! The so-called national scholar should be like this! "Actually, this is not the first time that I have intervened in Western affairs.  I just give people some ideas secretly and don't dare to bring them to the table.  "Zhang Peilun sighed, as if he was sighing at the place where he didn't show his strength. "Oh?  Youqiao also engaged in foreign affairs?  " Lin Yizhe couldn't help but be stunned after hearing Zhang Peilun's words. Now Zhang Peilun is still a member of the Qingliu. When did he manage Westernization? How come he has never heard of it? "It's not about handling it, it's just some private ideas.  "Zhang Peilun said, "The eleventh year of Tongzhi (1872).  Japan annexed Ryukyu, and the King of Ryukyu sent people to ask for help. The government and the public were shocked. The court appointed Li Zhitai to manage it, but there was no good plan. It was Zhang who wrote the book and went to Li Zhitai.  After briefly expressing his opinions, delaying the time, and taking this as an opportunity to manage the navy, Li Zhitai followed Zhang's words, so the Beiyang Navy was able to discuss the matter.  "After listening to Zhang Peilun's explanation, Lin Yizhe couldn't help but suddenly realized. It turns out that the establishment of the Beiyang Navy was also due to Zhang Peilun, a Qingliu general! "This is the draft of that year.  Kunyu might as well take a look.  " Zhang Peilun said, took out a manuscript and handed it to Lin Yizhe's hands. Lin Yizhe took the manuscript with both hands, opened it and read it carefully. " When Peilun saw that he wanted to stay in Japan, there were twists and turns, which caused internal and external discord.  Lifting the strictures opens the foundation for self-strengthening, and the public gets the time to carry out his ambitions.   Foreign aggression has been taking place recently, and it has never happened.  From now on.  Is it so extreme?  Pei Lunmei was privately worried and angry, saying that in the overall situation of China, although there was nothing happening in the Central Plains, people worked hard at night and day, but Chinese and foreign talents were disappearing.  The atmosphere is decadent, and the habits of Daoguang Jiannian have been overturned.  It may be possible to pass through the extreme end of the current, and the two men relying on it, Gong and Kejing, will support each camp in Hunan and Huaihe, and support it on the outer ear.  If we don't take advantage of foreign affairs to cultivate internal plans, and whitewash the banquet, it will be unimaginable to think that we are safe, just like a house on fire.  If the Japanese affairs are not settled, they will not be a border threat, and I can use them to manage the border defense, adjust the equipment according to the time, use people in an unusual way, and all the facilities may be free of constraints.  This year, due to the crisis in Russia, the purchase of iron ships and the installation of electronic music equipment, which have been delayed for a long time, are finally fulfilled. This is a clear proof of this.  The Beiyang defense army is scattered and undisciplined, and it will not last long. If the public is willing to take responsibility for the Japanese affairs, then the government will definitely pay the public for the complete defense of Beiyang, and then there will be leisure.  Establish a navy, stockpile warships, eliminate redundant and weak defensive troops, remove useless generals, organize the army and simplify its weapons, and fight against the Japaneseuse public talents, lift left and right, and the effect can be seen immediately.  Pei Lun wants to run the business with all his strength, and if he becomes a Japanese to gain authority and establish hegemony, he can bring a turning point and an end to the coastal defense and foreign affairs. All nations on the earth will unite and create an unprecedented situation" As Zhang Peilun said  , he actively planned many things for Li Hongzhang, the first of which was his advice on the Ryukyu issue. In 1872, Emperor Meiji of Japan secretly ordered Oyama Tsunayoshi to request Ryukyu to send envoys to Tokyo to celebrate in the name of Japan's "Issin of Imperial Government".  At the same time, the congratulatory envoys could not include people from Kumemura (descendants of the Chinese) and pro-Qing faction. Therefore, King Shotai sent Shoken (Prince Chaoyao of Ie) and Yuhenge (Prince Chaoyao of Iwan) to Tokyo to congratulate Emperor Meiji.  After becoming an envoy, he issued an edict to change the Ryukyu Kingdom to the Ryukyu Domain, and conferred Sho Tai as the feudal king, officially occupying Ryukyu (the first Ryukyu king Sho Tai).People asked China for help. Both Li Hongzhang and the Qing government believed that they were unable to help the Ryukyu king recover, but they also refused to recognize Japan's annexation of Ryukyu.  At that time, Russia occupied Ili, and relations between the two countries became tense.  Russia threatened to send warships to attack China's coast and ports.  At the same time, Japan took advantage of the situation and suggested that China and Japan divide Ryukyu.  Against this background, the Prime Minister's Office and the Japanese Minister in China began to negotiate the Ryukyu issue.  Prince Gong reported to the court that when amending the Sino-Japanese Trade Treaty, the Japanese would be allowed to enter the mainland of China for trade and a clause of "one body and one country" would be added.  At the same time, a treaty was signed. Starting from the first month of the seventh year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, the north of Ryukyu and Okinawa will be returned to Japan, and the southern Miyako and Yaeyama Islands will be returned to China. Japan has no way of commenting on how China will keep the ball.  When the news came out, "Qingliu" immediately rose up in opposition.  The Qing court ordered Li Hongzhang to coordinate the overall situation and discuss in detail whether the football case should be handled in accordance with the General Administration's instructions.  Zhang Peilun wrote to Li Hongzhang, suggesting that delaying negotiations on the Ryukyu case be used as a political strategy to develop the Chinese navy.  This is a big plan made by Zhang Peilun.  In the letter, Zhang Peilun bluntly stated that staying in Japan would bring twists and turns in the future, and that in the future the imperial court "will definitely pay its dues to the defense of Beiyang."  In the letter, he also directly accused Shen Guifen of harming the country.  Immediately afterwards, Zhang Peilun wrote three consecutive letters to Li Hongzhang to continue making suggestions.  Later, Li Hongzhang wrote in "The Case of Suozuo Qiu" that "Russia is now in trouble. China's strength is temporarily difficult to take care of. And there are many Japanese people asking for it. If you allow it, you will suffer great damage, if you refuse it, you will create more enemies."  The most appropriate method is to use delay." He advocated "quickly purchasing iron armor, gathering ships and equipment, and training the navy, so that Japan's arrogance should be somewhat tempered."  As for the Ryukyu case, it was originally scheduled to be approved by Yubi, and the contract would be changed within three months, so that news about the Russian affairs could be explored.  If the Russian matter has been discussed within three months, it will not be approved.  In a complex environment where conflicts between China and foreign countries intersect, and there is a fierce debate between "Qingliu" and Shen Guifen within the court.  It was a stroke of genius that Li Hongzhang and Zhang Peilun were able to join forces and quietly shift the focus of debate to the topic of developing the navy.  "After hearing that the navy was mentioned in the holy edict, Peilun Zhiyu wanted to ask the prince to review the matter first and set up the Beiyang Navy. He ordered him to inspect three posts to assess the situation of the forts, and to determine the navy's vacancy in Tianjin.  There was originally a Manchurian Navy, but it was reduced during the Qianlong period. During the Jiaqing period, the Lvying Navy was reestablished and the general force was stationed in Xincheng. Then it was also reduced and merged with Denglai and Lushun. It seems that each of the three provinces should have a naval force.  One member is under the control of the admiral, and the admiral is under the control of the Beiyang Minister. The admiral must be able to take charge of the coastal forts, and the admiral should be stationed in Lushun, which can be settled in accordance with the original coastal defense plan.  For the purpose of economic control, the purchase of iron ships, the erection of forts, the deployment of flood camps, and the erection of naval divisions will not be discontinuedThis is my father's plan, and coastal defense is an urgent matter" This passage,  When Lin Yizhe read it at this time, he also felt that he had seen it before!  It was after Li Hongzhang, as suggested by Zhang Peilun, reported to the court to request the establishment of the Beiyang Navy that he later mobilized shipping warships to enter the Beiyang and established the current Beiyang Navy!  This is the first tacit cooperation between Li Hongzhang and Zhang Peilun, a "clean warrior" in the officialdom.  Zhang Peilun is the first spokesman.  To be able to secretly mobilize and manipulate the senior officials of the General Administration in this way, you can feel Pei Lun's domineering and skillful attitude.  And this was a secret that no one knew, but Zhang Peilun was willing to say that Lin Yizhe knew about it, and he obviously wanted to make Lin Yizhe sincerely.  And this incident also shows that at least during the Tongzhi period, Zhang Peilun had close contact with Li Hongzhang!  For reasons of confidentiality, Li Hongzhang did not let himself know about his relationship with Zhang Peilun!  "It's hard for Lin to match the generosity of a young woodcutter." Lin Yizhe's eyes were full of admiration.  Of course, Lin Yizhe understood that Zhang Peilun¡¯s secret tactics back then had a lot of help from the ship¡¯s navy under his command!  "Zhang originally had some ideas about Ryukyu, but after Kunyu Terrace expelled the Japanese, he sent troops to regain Ryukyu at lightning speed, so these ideas were abandoned." Zhang Peilun smiled, "This time I am not in front of Kunyu  "It's a pity that a young woodcutter and a great talent can only serve as a public servant," Lin Yizhe sighed.  "That's not necessarily the case." Zhang Peilun smiled and said as if to remind him, "Kunyu thinks he knows the most clearly about the role of officials." When Lin Yizhe heard this, he immediately remembered the words on Huang Tifang's  A hint of resentment suddenly flashed in his eyes as he almost killed him.  The "question of life and death" that day in Wenxiang's mansion can definitely be said to be the biggest crisis he has faced since time travel!  "Haha, what Youqiao said is absolutely true." Lin Yizhe nodded, and the smile at the corner of his mouth seemed a little stiff.  "Fortunately, Huang Tifang's excerpt, with its unreasonable argument and poor writing style, saved me from disaster. If Youqiao had come up with this excerpt, I'm afraid I would be a lonely ghost now." "Such despicable tactics.  , Zhang will definitely not use it," Zhang Peilun said seriously, "To be honest with Kunyu, Huang Shulan once mentioned this to Zhang.On the spot, they severed their ties and broke off all relations with him.  " "Youqiao is a true gentleman. Please accept my respect."  " Lin Yizhe was suddenly moved after hearing the words, and stood up and bowed deeply to Zhang Peilun. He really didn't expect that Zhang Peilun was willing to break off diplomatic relations with his friend Huang Tifang, who was also one of the "Four Admonitions of Qingliu" for his own sake! Zhang Peilun stood up and returned the gift, and the two  After everyone sat down again, Zhang Peilun said: "Huang Shulan really went too far in this matter, and I failed to dissuade him, so he made a big mistake. Fortunately, Kunyu did not suffer any harm from this.  Now that this matter is over, Kunyu doesn't have to worry about it.  " Lin Yizhe was speechless for a moment after hearing Zhang Peilun's words. "Haha, Kunyu, it's not because I want to plead for Huang Shulan today and ask Kunyu to let him go, but I'm really worried about Kunyu's thunderbolt tactics.  Zhang Peilun noticed that the atmosphere of the conversation seemed to be getting a little tense, and Qiang smiled to himself and asked, "I wonder how Kunyu will treat Huang Shulan?"  " "I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they offend me, I will offend them.  Lin Yizhe looked up at Zhang Peilun and said calmly, "Huang Shulan and I have no enmity. He actually harmed me in such a vicious way. He wanted to retaliate. Youqiao and I met very happily today, so you listen."  Let¡¯s not argue with Youqiao¡¯s words for now.  " "Then I'll thank you in advance.  " Zhang Peilun sighed. "It's just that as the saying goes: 'If people don't seek death, they won't die.' If Huang Shulan is still as unscrupulous as before, I'm afraid Lin has the intention to be tolerant, but under the pressure of the situation, he will not die.  It's hard to save his life.  " Lin Yizhe said in a deep voice.
