    In the Governor's Mansion of Zhili, Li Hongzhang was frowning as he listened to Yang Shixiang's report on the recent complicated government affairs. This time, the matter of supervising military discipline had actually been a hot topic for a long time, because this matter was what the young emperor had to do, and he thought about it again and again.  , did not express opposition in public, but privately asked the general soldiers of each town to deal with it carefully.  However, it is obvious that the Huai Clan's military training has been suffering for a long time. How can he deal with it with just one order? Another imperial envoy and the Minister of Rites, Zhi Rui, who had set out earlier, only supervised the military training of the Sixth Battalion.  As a result, a lot of troubles arose. First, the imperial envoy's sedan was blocked when Baoding Prefecture guard Lin Yu was running rampant. Then Zhirui just looked at the military equipment of the barracks and discovered a big problem. The equipment had just been equipped two years ago.  The army's Mauser rifles were already rusty, and there were even more serious discrepancies in the accounts This Baoding Prefecture is also the capital of the capital. The memorial arrived in the capital in one day. Weng Tonghe was obviously impressed by Zhirui's high efficiency in discovering problems.  It was also a bit unexpected, but this was a great thing. When Wang Renkan and his imperial envoy arrived in Tianjin, the Military Aircraft Department had issued a document yesterday to seize the post of Baoding Guard Lin Yuzhi and put him in prison pending investigation!  Qin Huang, the defender of Hejian City, was also implicated and was demoted one level and fined one year's salary!  "Zhongtang, the battalions in Baoding are so messed up by Zhi Rui. I'm afraid that all of us under the jurisdiction of the Seventh General Army of Zhili will be implicated. I have already telegraphed to the general officers of each town. I have been carefully checking the deficiencies in the battalions recently, but I am afraid that they will still be implicated.  Find out the problem!" Yang Shixiang also looked thoughtful. Obviously, Zhirui's three fires were quite serious.  An old man with a gray beard next to him had been listening very carefully just now, and now he also asked: "Pingshi (Yang Shixiang's courtesy name), I know this Minister of Rites Zhirui. He is very cautious in doing things. This time  With such a big fanfare, I expected that there might not be much action later, but Wang Renkan came today. This man is very upright. Weng Tonghe used him probably because of this. He may not have any concerns about human feelings. I think he needs to be careful in dealing with it!  " The topic turned to Wang Renkan. Li Hongzhang looked a little strange. He turned around and took out a letter from the desk next to him, "I sent Pingshi to pick up this scholar. I originally intended to flatter him. After all, this  The inspection of Beiyang's military discipline is naturally a top priority, but I didn't expect him to forward such a letter to me Look, what does it mean? " Yang Shixiang naturally knew about the letter before, but he thought he would.  It was a courtesy letter. When I took it and opened it, I was secretly shocked. In fact, there had been rumors about what was written in the letter for a while. It was some inferences about possible disputes between China and Japan If  Wang Renkan's letter to Li Hongzhang involved these contents, which naturally did not surprise Yang Shixiang!  The problem is that this letter was not written by Wang Renkan. At the end of the letter, the signature of Long Feifengwu is indeed Li Hongzao, the current Minister of Civil Affairs and Minister of Military Aircraft And next to him, Zhou Fu followed Li Hongzao for a long time. After reading it, he sighed.  He said, "Li Lansun is dedicated to serving the public good. Zhongtang, I see that he mentioned the Korean affairs so solemnly. Why not let Yuan Weiting inform the Korean royal family that the assassination case of Jin Yujun will be transferred to Beijing for handling!" Li Hongzhang sat at the top and closed his eyes.  Without saying anything, Yang Shixiang next to him had already spoken: "Master Zhou, hasn't this matter been settled? The Tongji ship will be sent to Seoul in the next few days, and the Korean royal family has been notified. If it is changed now, I'm afraid there will be consequences.  "Pingshi, although Li Lansun and Zhongtang often have different political opinions and are tit-for-tat in court, they are not ambiguous on major matters. He and Zhongtang have few letters, but they are all sincere words."  This time, Wang Renkan was asked to deliver this letter in person, which shows that he takes it seriously. I think it should be taken seriously!" Zhou Fu has followed Li Hongzhang since the Hongyang Rebellion, so he naturally knows more secrets.  Originally, there was no absolute enemy above the court. Even during the Sino-French War, Qing Liu was in power in the court, but the Qing troops on the front line were defeated one after another. At that time, Li Hongzao was already known as the "Green Bull" in the court.  In fact, the private contact with Li Hongzhang has never been broken. At the beginning of the Sino-French War, Li Hongzhang happened to lose his mother Ding You at home, and Zhang Shusheng acted as the governor of Zhili. At that time, Li Hongzhang was able to "seize love" and come back, but his contribution was not small.  It's Li Hongzao and Zhang Peilun, the two Qingliu bosses.  It was Zhang Peilun who was one of the four admonitions of Qingliu at that time. His father Zhang Yintang had a close relationship with Li Hongzhang when he was pacifying the Hongyang Rebellion. After he became an official, although he did not criticize the Westernization Movement in words or writing, in private, he  Actively planning coastal defense and naval matters for Li Hongzhang Zhou Fu, who was well versed in these secrets, was naturally not a man of many words. However, his opinions were obviously immediately recognized by Li Hongzhang. The hale old man's eyes were slightly closed.  Suddenly he showed a look of disdain on the world, "Wushan (Zhou Fu), please write a reply for me. All matters concerning North Korea will be according to his words Wang Renkan, please ask him to tell you his interests."  , After all, the morale of the army must not be disturbed!" Although Wang Renkan knew that Li Hongzao wasFrom the correspondence exchanges between Li Hongzhang, he also roughly guessed that these important figures should be exchanging news. After all, no one could shoulder the responsibility for major national affairs, and what he was concerned about now was naturally whether his trip would be successful.  The matter of supervising military discipline has been properly handled. Since he is an imperial envoy, he must naturally achieve results!  At this moment, all the attendants in the room were summoned. Wang Renkan naturally had his own ideas. Of course, he didn't mind listening to the opinions of these temporary staff. "Everyone, since we are following the emperor's order, we naturally have to do our best.  In order to share the emperor's worries, the inspection of the navy's military discipline should not be taken lightly. Any violations of the law will be investigated to the end What suggestions do you have?  There was an immediate response. Naturally, Lu Hong had no intention of taking the lead in this matter. Wang Renkan's idea of ??rectifying military discipline had already been given to him. However, although the number one scholar also valued it very much, however,  At present, the establishment of an independent military service like the military police of later generations was obviously not accepted by the high-level officials of the imperial court Yan Fu obviously had more capital to speak than others. He immediately raised his hand and said: "Sir, if we supervise military discipline and  In fact, there are three aspects that are easiest to deal with when it comes to violating the law. The first is empty wages, the second is large expenditures in the daily list, and the third is the entry and exit of armament stocks. Starting from this, given time, it will not be difficult to find out the problem! " Yan Fu!  As soon as he finished speaking, everyone else stared at this guy, and the expressions of eagerness just now disappeared. Lu Hong also seemed to think that Yan Youling can really sum it up. He can sum it up in just three sentences or two.  All the topics that can be discussed have been discussed. No wonder everyone in this room is staring at him Wang Renkan nodded with satisfaction. Among the attendants Lu Hong found for him, Yan Fu is the real one.  "You Lingzhi's words are very kind Do you have any other suggestions?" At this time, the attendants below were a little dumbfounded. They all frowned and thought hard, and for a while they felt a little cold. Wang Renkan naturally knew what was going on.  The reason is, however, since it is a discussion, he is interested in hearing the suggestions no matter whether they are good or bad. This is also a good time for him to understand the capabilities of these attach¨¦s.  "Sir, I think we should find some old officials in the yamen to help us check the running accounts!" Tan Xianpin held it in for a while, but he was the second one to speak. This suggestion is quite satisfactory but  , the old officials in this yamen are all old people. Besides, in this land of Zhili, you can still find old officials who can help people like you and are proficient in running accounts.  Lu Hong raised his eyes and looked at the red and fair face of this guy. Under the rule of the Qing government, the court actually did one thing, and that was to send all the money to Beijing However, after the Hongyang Rebellion, the local government  The Lijin tax system has completely broken the original national fiscal and taxation system, which has directly led to the free growth of corruption. In this era, if the accounts in the yamen are kept over the years, it is really hard for anyone to spot the fishiness.  Wang Renkan nodded. He was not a rookie in the officialdom. He was naturally aware of these tricks. However, if he really had to do this, it would be a long-lasting and extremely arduous task. It can be said that since the resurgence of Tongzhi, the Qing government has spoken to officials.  It can be said that he is very enlightened. This is naturally to deal with the growing power of the local governor. There are also many first- and second-grade officials who are actually impeached and moved by Yanguan.  However, without exception, these officials were involved in other serious cases rather than corruption, because in this era, to confirm a corruption case, unless the house is searched or there is special evidence, even if the official can be exempted, these innocent people will not be convicted.  Officials did not dare to easily accuse anyone of corruption The long-standing practice of giving gifts from top to bottom, which had been popular in the Qing Dynasty, was already a clear rule!  Everyone in the room murmured and discussed, each putting forward some opinions, but they were similar, and they were almost copies of Yan Fu's arguments. In the end, Lu Hong was the only one who sat there calmly and calmly.  In the end, I just asked a few questions, but didn't say anything serious.  After Wang Renkan had listened to all the suggestions, he naturally looked at Lu Hong, "Lu Yunpan, supervise the military discipline matter, but the copywriting you wrote, I don't know what your proposal to Yan Youling has to say.  Opinion?"
