On March 27, 1894, Kim Ok-kyun, the leader of the Korean Enlightenment Party, was lured to Shanghai by the Korean Hong Jong-woo, and later killed him in Donghwa Bank Originally, the assassination case on the beach in Shanghai was just a small matter. This Jin Yujun was simply an insignificant North Korean in the Qing Dynasty. This guy also directed a Shenjia coup that lasted only three days in North Korea 10 years ago. However, it was suppressed by Yuan Shikai, the current Minister of Trade and Industry in North Korea. . But when the news was delivered to Weng Tonghe, he immediately thought of Lu Hong's mention a few days earlier that Japan might have already been planning to invade North Korea and confront China head-on. The only thing missing was a small introduction And Now, this introduction was right in front of him. Jin Yujun had been under the protection of the Japanese for the previous 10 years, and even changed his name to Yantian Shuzuo. However, when he came to the Qing Dynasty this time, he originally wanted to visit Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhili, and tried to use the Qing Dynasty's status as the suzerainty of Korea. Changing North Korea's system Of course, this is just the wishful thinking of this South Korean. "However, if the Japanese take advantage of this incident, we must be careful!" However, the next thing is a bit troublesome. The person who is currently handling the assassination case of Jin Yujun is Liu Mingchuan, a Huai clique general under his old enemy Li Hongzhang. The telegram came yesterday with Liu Mingchuan's disposal plan. Jin Yujun was a member of the vassal clan. The important criminal wanted by North Korea was killed by people sent by North Korea. There is no doubt that the matter was sent back and let the North Koreans handle it themselves. Weng Tonghe obviously paid more attention to this case now and sent all the prisoners back to North Korea. This approach was obviously in line with the normal relationship between the Qing Dynasty and the North Korean vassals. However, Jin Yujun was indeed a big trouble. It¡¯s been ten years since Japan was killed in Shanghai. It¡¯s really weird if the Japanese don¡¯t use it to cause trouble! However, this old Liu is a famous tough guy. Even if Li Hongzhang wanted to make an idea, he would have to discuss it carefully with him. If the Military Aircraft Department said that it wanted to re-investigate the assassination case I thought of being handed a letter by Liu Ming asking for the reason. , Weng Tonghe felt his scalp numb. So, on the afternoon of the 29th, Weng Tonghe came to Li Hongzao, Huang Tifang, and Wang Renkan to discuss the matter. The three of them all thought that this matter should be handled with great care. During the discussion, Wang Renkan heard about it for the first time. Lu Hong predicted this matter, and the Ding Chou champion was completely surprised again. During the chat at Weng's house that day, he didn't think there was much good about this young man who studied in the West. It¡¯s just that he¡¯s very knowledgeable. When Weng Tonghe asked them for advice, the three of them had some ideas. Li Hongzao suggested that he directly authorize Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang, to handle the matter. Even if it was handled improperly, it would still be Li Hongzhang's responsibility. What's more, the Qing Dynasty is now Most external affairs are handled by Li Hongzhang, which is also in line with the system. Huang Tifang expressed worry that the prisoners should be brought to Beijing for interrogation, and at the same time asked the North Korean royal family to make an appropriate statement on this, so as not to be used by the Japanese to find a reason to intervene in North Korean affairs. Since the last time Lu Hong explained to him the so-called Taishi After the military comments, he has remained highly vigilant about North Korean affairs. "The number one scholar, Wang Inkan, said that in accordance with the obligations of the sovereign state, protecting the interests of the Korean royal family is naturally the first priority. He suggested that the assassination case of Kim Ok-kyun should be handled secretly! After Weng Tonghe thought about it carefully, he always felt that there were some problems with these plans. In fact, he could know without guessing how the North Korean royal family handled the Jin Yujun case. According to the charge of treason, execution was the most benevolent treatment. If he were alive, Ling Chi That is the punishment they deserve. Therefore, when the Koreans blindly anger the Japanese, there is almost no need to guess the outcome! Seeing Weng Tonghe's thoughtful look, Huang Tifang suddenly said: "Mr. Ge, before I came here, I happened to meet Lu Hong and asked him what he thought" "Oh" Weng Tonghe raised his eyebrows and looked sideways. Looking at Huang Tifang, "Shulan, does Lu Hong have any strange ideas!" Huang Tifang paused and looked at Weng Tonghe again, "Mr. Ge, what Lu Hong said is really a bit different. This Donghe foreign company Isn't it in the British Concession? Moreover, this matter was basically a murder case caused by a private fight between two Koreans. We don't need to take the dead Kim Yu-gyun seriously at all. He was just a dead Korean. How should he be punished? There is no British in the British Concession. Let the British handle it in the temporary court. Even if there is a problem, how can Japan fall out with the British? In North Korea, the assassin had no intention of returning alive anyway!" Weng Tonghe heard the idea mentioned by Huang Tifang, His eyes suddenly lit up Everyone in the whole court regarded Jin Yujun as a North Korean prisoner and an important role, but no one considered this method of gently letting go. Thinking about it carefully, this is indeed wonderful. With Yan's move, if he arranges it like this, the future troubles will be solved! ?? Touching his beard, Weng Tonghe's slightly closed eyes were quite self-deprecating, butLu Hong was really capable when he realized that such a troublesome matter could be dealt with in such a light way. He looked at Wang Renkan on the side, suddenly remembered another important thing, and said, "But Zhuang (Wang Renkan), the Queen Mother and the Emperor have already agreed on the matter of supervising military discipline. The Land Division will be handled by Lang Zhirui, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. The Navy, both the Emperor and the Queen Mother value you. , do you think you can take care of this trip? "The matter of supervising military discipline is now imminent and has to be carried out. Zhirui is Zhenfei's cousin. The emperor is naturally satisfied with this candidate and supervises various naval forces. However, there were not many people on Qingliu's side who could be promoted and restrained. In the end, Weng Tonghe obviously fell in love with the No. 1 Scholar. Wang Renkan was also in trouble this time, and he strongly demanded a strict military and clean up corruption. However, he had been walking beside the emperor for a long time, and his early words were quite popular with Guangxu and Cixi. However, four years ago, he took advantage of the fire at the Gate of Supreme Harmony. , he submitted a memorial to advise Cixi to suspend the construction of the Summer Palace, but was completely ignored by the palace. Although Emperor Guangxu still valued him quite a lot, he was no longer able to be reused. It felt a bit reluctant to send him such an errand this time. He had held several academic and political positions in various places over the years, but this was He has never had anything to do with the army When Weng Tonghe mentioned this, he naturally understood that this was an excuse to get him out of Beijing, and such an offending job was really not easy to do, especially I want to put my hand into Li Hefei's bag, and there is no good fruit to eat! Obviously, he is getting further and further away from the center of power. "Mr. Ge, since it is the emperor's wish, I will go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to deliver the goods as soon as possible!" He was arrogant, but he did not agree with the situation where his official career was blocked and his future was bleak. He stood up and took over the job. Errands. The few people in this room are all sensible people, and naturally they know the fishiness involved, and they are obviously a little unfair to him. However, the deal is already done. Wang Renkan¡¯s decision to let the public out was already doomed when he first came to admonish him. The Queen Mother would not There is no use for those who are happy to stay in the capital. Huang Tifang, who was sitting next to him, suddenly raised his hand to Weng Tonghe, "Mr. Ge, but Zhuang is not familiar with military affairs, and this navy is mainly engaged in Western affairs, so I will boldly recommend Lu Hong. This young man is quite knowledgeable in military affairs and is very skilled." Yu Yangwu, if he helps Ke Zhuang, he can also share some things! "To be honest, none of the others here expected that Huang Tifang would recommend Lu Hong on this occasion. However, things developed like this. It's natural that it comes naturally. After all, these days, this young man who is proficient in foreign affairs and is willing to join Huang Tifang's family really surprises them a lot. The copywriter who prompted this matter was also written by him. Now he is assigned to assist Wang Renkan. It's logical "That's fine" Weng Tonghe thought about it for a moment, and he still had some intention of accepting Lu Hong. There are not many young people who have real materials nowadays, especially now that he finally has one. When the opportunity came to intervene in the army, even though it was only a small intervention, he fulfilled his long-cherished wish. After a secret discussion, when Lu Hong came back from the bearded Anderson that day, he suddenly heard a piece of news that surprised him. "Nephew Lu Xian, the emperor has issued an imperial edict to supervise military discipline and patrol affairs. The elder has allowed you to serve as the sixth-grade chief secretary and accompany the imperial envoy Wang Renkan to the capital for work. I recommend you to do this for this purpose. When you go to Beijing to do business with Bachelor Wang, be sure to remember the four words of honesty and justice You are now a commoner, so I'm afraid you have to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to collect donations. Please remember to get it done quickly!" The little old man looked like an elder! , explained everything in a long and long way. This result was somewhat beyond Lu Hong's expectations. He had discussed it privately with Qin Tianmin before. What he had done this time was obviously enough for Huang Tifang to value. If the military discipline camp matter came to pass, he would be in the best position to co-organize it However, from what I hear now, it seems that the establishment of a separate military discipline camp has not been approved by the palace. However, his official career seems to be prosperous, and he has been working as a dispatcher from the sixth grade since he started. However, when he talked about the matter with Qin Tianmin, this little corrupt official didn't think highly of the assignment he had worked hard to get
