    When bidding farewell to Huang Shaoji, Lu Hong saw the strange smile on Xiao Nizi's face. He immediately pinched his nose and made a weird face with quick movements, which shocked Xiao Nizi. But after a moment,  Revealing another row of shell teeth and two cute dimples, he looked back, smiled and shook his head away.  As a result, Lu Hong, who stayed in the Huang Mansion for a day, had nothing to do except carefully draw a few drawings of the first-level collection system. Huang Tifang returned home very late that night and called Lu Hong over again.  When they arrived at the main hall, Lu Hong immediately noticed that Huang Tifang seemed to be full of fatigue. Could it be that there was something wrong with the forged evidence he provided? He had thought about it over and over again and spent a lot of money to find a professional newspaper in Tianjin Wei.  The original manuscript has been completed, and after being remade, it is even more difficult to determine the authenticity, so there should be no problems!  He immediately asked, "Mr. Huang, have the photos I gave you yesterday been of use?" Huang Tifang waved to Lu Hongzhao, pointed to the seat next to him, and motioned for him to sit down. After a moment of silence, he  Said: "Nephew Lu, the difficulty of this matter is beyond my expectation. I showed the thing to Li Lansun (Li Hongzao), and the translator from the Military Aircraft Department also translated the content properly. The Japanese's wolf ambition is indeed obvious  Lord Li also thinks that we must deal with it carefully It's just" He raised his eyes and looked at Lu Hong. The expression of the young junior in front of him was unexpectedly calm, which made him feel a little more appreciative. Ordinary people  Hearing this, I couldn't wait to ask, "It's just that Mr. Li and I went to see Mr. Weng, but we couldn't convince him!" Is Weng Tonghe's eyesight so bad?  This result is a bit confusing to Lu Hong. With the evidence he forged and the deduction made by Huang Tifang, if you still can't see that the Japanese are trying hard to start a war, then there is something wrong with your head The problem is that this old man is not the number one scholar.  Well, are the heads of the top picks all made of elm wood?  He thought for a while, and it seemed that he still had to take action himself, "Mr. Huang, it seems that these supporting evidences are still lacking. However, this matter concerns the country, so how can we give it up halfway I drafted a copy last night, which is about my study tour in Thailand and Western Europe.  I heard about some of the military situation when I returned to ChinaThere are also some improvement measures. If possible, can you please forward it to Lord Weng on your behalf?" "Improving the army" Huang Tifang listened to Lu Hong's words.  , I couldn't help but be surprised. This is no small proposition, and this topic is very sensitive in today's court. In the Qing Dynasty, there were millions of soldiers. Except for the Eight Banners Army with less than 300,000, most of the others were Huaihe soldiers.  The army training adapted from the Qingliu Department, and what Qingliu criticizes the most is undoubtedly the Huai Department's practice of supporting troops and respecting themselves!  He doubtfully took the copy from Lu Hong's hand. After reading a few lines, Huang Tifang smiled and said, "Nephew Lu, this doesn't seem to be your writing style!" After reading a few more lines, the expression on his face  His expression became more and more serious. He read a few words and asked Lu Hong a few questions. The two talked nonchalantly until late at night. After letting Lu Hong go to rest first, Huang Tifang took the copywriting and read it over and over again in the main hall until  There was the sound of footsteps outside, and the wooden door opened, and Huang Shaoning came in with ginseng soup.  "Shaoning, go and have a rest early" Huang Tifang clapped the copy in her hand and suddenly asked, "This Lu Hong, what do you think of him as a person?" This question is somewhat problematic, Xiaonizi.  The hand that was pouring the ginseng soup couldn't help shaking. He looked back at the little old man who was still staring at the copywriting and thinking deeply. Then he felt that he was being too preoccupied. He couldn't help but smile. Two rosy clouds flew up on his face, and he couldn't help but think in his heart.  Uncover the weird thoughts Lu Hong had during the day "Master Lu he is such a strange and interesting person!" Xiao Nizi said with a smile without thinking.  When Huang Tifang heard what Xiao Nizi said, she was stunned. After thinking about it for a moment, she slapped her head. She had thought too much about this matter Since Lu Hong had another good idea, she might as well let him try it.  !  Today, I and Li Hongzao went to see Mr. Weng. After presenting the supporting evidence, they both advocated immediately questioning the Japanese Minister Komura on this matter. It would be best to put pressure on Japan through the British and French to force Japan to make a clear statement.  !  After Weng Tonghe read the evidence and listened to Huang Tifang's explanation, he pondered for a while, frowned and said something like "the Japanese are wolf-like and hateful". However, to their surprise, the master  The important minister who controlled the military power of the entire empire, after thinking about it, said something to the two of them that neither of them expected.  "Lansun, Shulan, and Li Hongzhang have been clamoring about coastal defense all day long. The navy, which has spent more than 20 million taels of silver, has not yet fought a battle. Now, there is a navy and an army in Beiyang, which are in full swing. It is just right that the Japanese are making some noise.  Let Li Hongzhang show off his skills!" Huang Tifang and Li Hongzao were both a little stunned and hurriedly defended themselves. This war was an unusual and trivial matter, and the war must not be started lightly. Moreover, the Beiyang Navy had not fought for seven years.The new ships may not be able to contain the Japanese during wartime.  As a result, Weng Tonghe immediately expressed his attitude, "Lansun, Shulan, and Li Hongzhang respect themselves as soldiers. I just want him to go to the battlefield and try it out to see if he is a mule or a horse. There will be room to rectify him in the future!"  " As soon as the Qingliu boss spoke, Huang Tifang and Li Hongzao were silent. They each found some reasons, but they couldn't make Mr. Wei Weng change his behavior at all. Anyway, he didn't care what the Japanese's intentions were.  , if we want to fight, let our arch-rival Li Hongzhang come forward.  And Weng Tonghe listened to Huang Tifang and Li Hongzao. According to the current situation, the chance of defeating the Japanese was really slim. He, Weng Tonghe, understood this. How could the old and cunning Li Hongzhang not understand that he would not be able to win the battle when the time came, or  Even if it is a small defeat, I can take the opportunity to make this old opponent look embarrassed!  This important minister who holds the power of the empire has not worried about anything big happening at this moment. Greater China has a million-strong army, that is, the Beiyang Navy, which is also recognized by all countries in Europe and the West as the number one in Asia. These are clearly stated.  In addition to the fact that the drills and reports of naval and military training over the years were all whitewashed achievements, he, a high-ranking person, was very determined.  Early the next morning, Huang Tifang went out early. However, Lu Hong and Qin Tianmin waited in the Huang family mansion for a whole day, but there was no news. When Huang Tifang came back in the evening, she just asked him to wait, saying that the copywriting had been completed.  I looked it up with Li Hongzao and thought it was indeed a good plan.  Lu Hong obviously overestimated the efficiency of the Qing Empire's court. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he asked Qin Tianmin to wait for news in the mansion. If there was any news, he would come to Dongjiaomin Lane to find him.  In the Longsheng Tea House under the West Archway, a dozen or so middle-aged people wearing long robes and mandarin jackets, either three or two, or one or two, sat around the tea room, ordering three to five plates of snacks and one or two types of dim sum, their heads gathered together.  Muttering in a low voice, this is the current situation of foreign compradors in the capital during the prosperous times.  Since there is no so-called industry here in Beijing, the main job of these compradors is to introduce foreign companies to the yamen and dignitaries. Once the introduction is successful, they will receive a remuneration. Fortunately, under the appearance of "the same glory and prosperity" for thirty years,  Although the levy tax killed the national industry, for foreign goods that only had to pay 5% tariff and 2% levy, it did create a prosperous economy, which opened up this new career in Beijing.  Later, a young man in a robe appeared at the door of the teahouse. The waiter hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Sir, the spring rolls and sesame dumplings are the signature snacks of this shop. Would you like to order one? The newly launched West Lake Longjing  Yes, I¡¯ll give you a pot to try, okay?¡± Lu Hong, who had just walked into the teahouse, was somewhat doubtful about the information he had inquired about earlier. He pointed to a table next to the window and stretched out his hand to take out a piece of Yingyang.  He flashed it in front of the waiter and said, "Boy, waiter, just pick up two things. I have two questions to ask you. If you can explain them clearly, this is yours!" When the waiter saw it, he knew that he had met the God of Wealth this morning. This teahouse  It didn't cost 300 yuan to eat for a whole day. After all, it was just tea and snacks. He greeted Lu Hong to the side with a smile on his face, "Sir, I can tell you a thing or two about the things around Dongjiaomin Lane. Other things.  But it¡¯s difficult!¡± ¡°I heard that compradors from foreign companies here often wait for guests in your teahouse, don¡¯t you know?¡± The boy was happy when he heard this. This question was too simple. He nodded hurriedly, and then  Turning around, he pointed at the group of young and old men on the other side who were talking in whispers, "Sir, those are the ones! Why don't I introduce you to the man in the blue mandarin jacket who is leaning against the west window?  , that is Mr. Chen Hefeng, he is familiar with the French foreign trade, and the fat man behind him, wearing a light-colored mandarin jacket, is Wang Chaocheng, he specializes in Japanese business" Lu Hong listened carefully to what the man said.  After introduction, he put the piece of Yingyang in his hand, then took out another piece of Yingyang, and said in a low voice: "Brother, talk to me again, those compradors have a better reputation here, wait for me  It¡¯s confirmed, this piece of Yingyang is yours too!¡± The guy was so happy that he was very lucky. He was a wealthy person. He quickly introduced him to me. Later, Lu Hong approached him.  Sitting in the corner was comprador Sima Qi, wearing a foreign felt hat on his head.  "Your name is Sima Qi? I have a business deal, and I want to ask a foreigner about the market situation!" Lu Hong got straight to the point and asked for directions.  This man in his thirties has a clean shaven face, which is not uncommon in this era when people like to grow beards to show elegance, and his pigtails are tied up and covered by a hat. He seems to have  He had already paid attention to Lu Hong, and when he saw business coming to his door, he smiled slightly and said, "I am Sima Qi, what is the customer's surname?" "My surname is Lu. The guys I asked just now, they think you are okay!" Lu Hong stared after finishing speaking.  Looking at the man opposite him, he always felt that this guy was a little strange.  ? ???Ma Qi suddenly smiled, a very strange smile, "Mr. Lu, I saw you gave the clerk a reward, but you may not know that I told the clerk a long time ago that he introduced the business to me, and I gave him  A reward of 2 taels of silver, that¡¯s why you will be on my opposite side!¡± Lu Hong was also greatly surprised by these words, but his interest in this Sima Qi also greatly increased!
