In the Beiyang Minister's Supervisor's Office, a few cups of tea were filled with a graceful and changing fragrance. Li Hongzhang changed into a suit, without a hat, and sat leisurely in the seat. He also urged Ronglu and Xu Yifan to promote the championship with a loud voice. Old Master Li looked easy-going, but who would have refuted his face? The two imperial envoys also changed their suits and just sat there to greet and laugh with Li Hongzhang. Yang Shixiang, Yuan Shikai, Ding Ruchang, Ye Zhichao and other civil and military personnel who had participated in several Korean incidents could only sit upright with a brilliant body, holding their hands on their knees and listening attentively.

These officials are not as good as Zhang Peilun, who has no official clothes, sitting there in casual clothes, shaking a fan. He talks about the wind and moon of the capital with the two imperial envoys, and talks about the old things in Beijing with Ronglu, and is very happy.

While admiring their prime minister's conscience, Xu Yifan looked at the people sitting upright. Ding Ruchang and Yang Shixiang were all old acquaintances, but his eyes were wrong but nodded and smiled. Ye Zhichao was a general of the Huai Army, and he also showed his performance during the Jiashen Incident. He looked like he looked smoky, but now he had no vitality as a general. More eyes were still circling on Yuan Shikai.

No, Yuan Shikai is so famous. If anyone really succeeds in usurping the Qing Dynasty, then in real history it is not Xu Yifan, but Yuan Weiting. The house is full of many people, and he is the smallest official position. But he sat there with graceful temperament and no squint. His short figure even showed a very strong demeanor.

What a pity, it’s a pity, it’s also a generation of heroes, but I’m afraid there is no chance to get to power……

After the greetings between Ronglu and Li Hongzhang and others, they finally began to talk about the serious matter. They saw Ronglu’s serious expression: “Li Zhongtang, the mission that brothers bear this time is important, and everyone understands that they have to defend a vassal state and train troops. This is not a fun thing, and they also have to ask Zhongtang to reward and send a few talents. As well as this salary, I also ask Zhongtang Lord to ensure it. We all point to Beiyang as the support of Mount Tai!”

Li Hongzhang smiled and waved his hand indifferently: "Whoever you like, Lord Rong, you can just transfer it. Even if I am old man, you can also play the tune!"

As soon as the joke was released, everyone had to smile with the situation. It seemed to be in a harmonious mood, Li Hongzhang twisted his beard and smiled: "As for the salary, the Ministry of Revenue allocated 200,000 yuan a year, and the Ministry of Revenue allocated 150,000 yuan in silver. This is of course necessary to ensure that Yu Ting can be there?"

Ding Ruchang suddenly stood up: "The mark is here!"

Li Hongzhang smiled and pressed his hands, signaling him to sit down: "This is the matter of escorting the military uniforms in Fengyin. Can you ensure that you can do this job well?"

Ding Ruchang clasped his fists at Li Hongzhang: "Zhongtang, I am willing to issue a military order!"

Li Hongzhang clapped his hands: "That's good! Lord Rong, Lord Xu, listen to Yu Ting's words? If something goes wrong, just cause trouble for me old man."

Ronglu and Xu Yifan both smiled and nodded. Ding Ruchang turned around and said to them in a daze: "Mr. Rong, Lord. If there is a problem with the salary in the hands of the price, it is natural that only the price is asked. But the power of duty must be one. Which one should I escort this salary to be considered to be waived? This is related to the military order, so the price must be asked."

Li Hongzhang's scolding sound suddenly sounded inside the room: "Rude! Is there anyone who speaks like this?" Xu Yifan's eyes and Ronglu's eyes immediately turned away. The two of them had different thoughts and did not speak for a while.

Ronglu doesn't want to eat too ugly, but Xu Yifan has a different embrace.

After a long time, Li Hongzhang's eyes just smiled at Ronglu and Xu Yifan. The room was extremely quiet. At the end, he heard Ronglu coughing, nodding at Xu Yifan, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu and I are both imperial envoys, and logically, they should not distinguish each other. But Mr. Xu said on the training instructions for the court that he wanted to train troops in the north of North Korea. He would not provoke the interests of the Eastern and Western devils in southern Korea, but could also keep the Qing Dynasty's dragon-rise land. Both the Lafayette and the Queen Mother thought it made sense.

Lord Xu is a genius, and he dared to run rampant in the Nanyang devils' nest with dozens of people. He is naturally the main training of soldiers. Brothers are just picking up the leftovers and filling in the gaps. Since he is holding the title of the general manager, he is still responsible for negotiations. He may not be allowed to take charge of Seoul as the backing of Lord Xu. As for the salary, brothers will share the work for Lord Xu and take care of him. Lord Xu just concentrates on training troops..."

He thought that he was saying this was quite appropriate and did not show his eating habits too ugly. After saying that, he also touched his beard with a reserved attitude. Xu Yifan just smiled: "Mr. Rong, if the soldiers are not paid, they will be dispersed. We all understand this principle. Lord Rong is in charge of Seoul, so his subordinates are naturally very relieved. However, it is also difficult to transfer from Seoul to North Korea. Why not set up a transfer yamen in Seoul and leave some troops there, and be responsible for supervision while assisting in the transfer. Can Lord Rong think about it?"

This is my first chance!

Xu Yifan's expression was a little cold, and he just gritted his teeth and looked at Ronglu quietly. Ronglu thought that blocking Sheng was the best way to restrain Xu Yifan. Let him live, live, and let him die. From whether Ronglu was willing to share control of Shengdao, we know whether Ronglu focused on training or dealing with him Xu Yifan!

A trace of gray flashed across Ronglu's face, and then calmed down again in a blink of an eye. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, and vomited some tea powder.

"Mr. Xu is not convinced by this imperial envoy? The supply of thousands of soldiers is a matter of transfer. If you have a master, Ding Junmen makes sense, there must be one power. Both families are in charge of the salary. Isn't this a mess? I am the general manager and take on this responsibility. If you train troops, I will take charge! If you train troops and lack supply, even if you come to me, okay?"

Xu Yifan smiled faintly and bowed: "Since you have given this order, what else can I say to you?"

Ronglu slapped his thigh: "That's right! As long as we brothers work together, what are you afraid of not being able to do it well?"

Xu Yifan just nodded and watched Ding Ruchang sit down. The matter of control over the salary was decided.

Everyone thought it was time to be harmonious, talk and laugh, and then greet the wind and send off the farewell wine. Then when they were walking, Xu Yifan's eyes became serious again, and he said in a whisper: "Mr. Yuan Weiting?"

Everyone was stunned. Yuan Shikai shook his sleeves and stepped out. Another court attended the ceremony: "I am humble to serve Yuan Shikai, I'm waiting for the orders of Lord!"

Xu Yifan laughed and said with a tribute, "What are you saying or not? We are just talking about it. The Sixth Battalion of the Qing Army, in Korea, is it the Dinghai Sword Needle of our Qing Dynasty?"

Yuan Shikai answered calmly: "My lord praised it, but it is also true that the Qing army was afraid of by the whole country and the Japanese envoy was afraid of by the Japanese envoy."

Rong Lu stared blankly at Xu Yifan and Yuan Shikai's conversation, his eyes rolling around, trying his best to guess Xu Yifan's thoughts.

Xu Yifan clapped his hands and smiled: "This is your Lord Yuan, who is in charge! This time I handed over such a powerful team to my brothers, and I have no choice but to have a question. The brothers have to leave the Qing army for my brothers to practice, so they will inevitably be withdrawn from Seoul. Isn't this central land of North Korea empty? What if something happens, how will we deal with it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Shikai and Ronglu had changed their faces.

Xu Yifan did not give them a chance to speak and said with a smile: "Mr. Rong, Lord Yuan. Brothers have a fool. The Qing army and some newly recruited officers and soldiers are still in Seoul. They are led by brothers and members of the brothers to train. The brothers run at North Korea and Seoul, inspecting and taking care of them at any time. These troops left for training in Seoul can also be supplied nearby. What do you think? "

This is my second chance!

If you really have some concern about the situation in North Korea, rather than being busy restraining me and destroying my mind, let me have some of my strength in Seoul, which can prevent you from going big! I will be able to get a foot in Seoul!

Yuan Shikai and Ronglu's expressions were changing drastically. Li Hongzhang and his subordinates did not speak, and looked at the secret fight between the people in the venue with a smile.

Ronglu took the lead and said, "Hi! Qingjun said that he would be led by Lord Xu, is it the leader of Lord Xu? Why are you still staying in Seoul? Brothers also have dozens of royal family members who have been tuned this time, so you can train some soldiers in Seoul first. Besides, Beiyang is so close to Seoul. If something happens, the water can breathe through. What are you afraid of? Both imperial envoys are in Seoul. I'm afraid it's not the original intention of the court. We were going to be in charge of one south and one north, and we were going to be in charge!"

Xu Yifan smiled and nodded, and looked at Yuan Shikai. Ronglu could also say that he was surging and torrential in North Korea. He had no idea about open and secret struggles, so he could say such words. You, Yuan Shikai, should you understand the importance of laying troops in Seoul?

Yuan Shikai gritted his teeth, looked at Ronglu, and avoided Xu Yifan's gaze: "Mr. Rong said that Seoul has the support of Beiyang, and there is indeed the peace of Mount Tai. Master Xu also responded strongly to the training of North Korea. Both imperial envoys were in charge of Seoul, which was a bit of a big topic. I thought that my Qing Dynasty was unmanned, and a small vassal state wanted so many famous officials and generals in the Qing Dynasty... I must stay in Seoul and assist Lord Rong with all my heart. Please rest assured Lord Xu."

Rong Lu slapped his thigh, and he felt a little different from what Xu Yifan said just now. It is also justified that Xu Yifan said that Seoul should keep troops to shock. Although he refused, Xu Yifan could also report a memorial alone. At that time, he would still let him get a kick in Seoul. Then, he would still have to divide half of the salary? If he can't hold on to the salary, why should he control Xu Yifan? Besides, he is now empty and has spent all his money on sports and returning to Beijing over the years. This time, after getting this mission, he wants to make a fortune and move another step. The place where the forbidden goods is located will never be divided! Just personal affairs must force Xu Yifan to North Korea, trapping this stupid boy to death!

In North Korea for more than ten years, Yuan Shikai, who knows the inside story of North Korea, agrees with his words. Even if Xu Yifan reports, he can fight the stage. If he stands true, he is still afraid that the superiors will not support him and support Xu Yifan?

This Yuan Shikai, knows the matter!

He immediately said to Li Hongzhang: "Li Zhongtang, brothers have a heavy burden in North Korea. Lord Yuan is familiar with the inside story of North Korea, so why not just send it to his brothers for use? Lord Yuan is a talented person, brothers will definitely not bury him."

Li Hongzhang waved his hand and laughed: "Master Rong just use it! Weiting, why don't you thank Lord Rong for his appreciation and promotion?"

Yuan Shikai immediately turned forward and attended the ceremony at Ronglu, and Ronglu was even more polite and left his seat to help him up.

Xu Yifan sat in danger with his eyes closed, but he just couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

The Qing Dynasty was still the same as the Qing Dynasty, and Yuan Shikai was still the same Yuan Shikai. The struggle for power and status is more important than any axiom.

They had given him the opportunity, and they thought that if he could get stuck in the salary, he would let him die in North Korea?

All that is waiting for you is the most difficult future. And I, Xu Yifan, will soar into the sky!

For some reason, some of his heart was just sad at this time.

Seeing Ronglu and Yuan Shikai thinking, Xu Yifan also opened his eyes: "Congratulations to Lord Rong for having a hand. Zhongtang, brothers also had a heartless request, and I would like to ask Zhongtang to send someone to the Zhongtang."

Li Hongzhang seemed to be in a good mood and smiled and said, "I will be a boy with money today. Who does Lord Xu want? Just tell me quickly. Will the old man ask you for money to sell people?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Yifan, and they were slightly curious. Which guy was going to be unlucky with this one?

Xu Yifan faced everyone's eyes, smiled slightly, and said word by word: "What brothers want is Deng Zhengqing, Deng Shichang, Lord Deng."

With a loud bang, Ding Ruchang stood up. With a bang, he even brought his own chair down.

Xu Yifan was too bullying. It would be fine if he ordered their Beiyang Navy to make a big deal, but now he is blatantly coming to dig the corners of the Huai Army. How could this example be so great?

Since Deng Shichang returned to China, he was immediately deprived of his mission. Although he did not dare to demote his title, because the court did not demote him. However, he would never take the Zhiyuan military ship in this life. The entire Beiyang Navy hung up this guy who did not obey the orders, and was still planning to catch some mistakes and deal with him well. Let everyone be warned.

No matter how they deal with Deng Shichang, it is all within their Huai Army system. But now Xu Yifan wants to protect him! With this opening, can any other faction come to Beiyang to recruit people? Even if they don’t obey Beiyang’s orders, there will be a place to join them in the end?

The Beiyang subordinates all looked unhappy, especially Ding Ruchang, whose face turned pale.

Li Hongzhang calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip. He spoke lightly: "For you."

"Zhongtang!"

Suddenly, several different voices sounded, all of which were full of anger.

Li Hongzhang's expression was still like a dry well, and he repeated it again: "For you."

Xu Yifan laughed: "Zhongtang is really refreshing! When you go to North Korea, the mountains are high and the rivers are long and the future is unpredictable. Zhongtang, we will see you next day!"

After saying that, he stood up and bowed his hands, regardless of the official system. His nature of living 25 years old broke out again, and he actually went alone.

Ronglu was so angry that his face turned pale, and the bannerman was better off. Xu Yifan's disrespectful behavior made him feel ruthless: "There is no need to participate in your rudeness first. Anyway, North Korea will sleep you, bastard! Let everything in front of you disappear!"

The two imperial envoys stayed in Tianjin for a long time. When they arrived in North Korea, they had to buy gifts for negotiations, prepare supplies, collect all their entourage members, and call for talents. It would still take a few days to delay.

Ronglu has been obsessed with the official precepts in Tianjin these days and has never gone out to wander around. He just discussed the situation in North Korea with Yuan Shikai all day long and how to deal with Xu Yifan. His bannermen and his entourage were wandering in the kiln in Tianjin, spending public funds, and wishing Lord Rong would never leave.

Xu Yifan has not gone out these days. In the eyes of people who are familiar with the trends in the officialdom, Xu Yifan is already done. In the Qing Dynasty, he used civil servants to control martial arts, except for the big and small control, but also financial control. He did not have the salary in his own hands, but he also practiced nothing? Xu Yifan didn't care about other people's gazes. The only thing that everyone could do these days was to often go to the Beiyang Wushu Preparation School to seduce those trained students who were stupider than him.

People in the officialdom always care about the ups and downs in the political arena, especially in the late Qing Dynasty. They are like ostrichs, only paying attention to what they understand.

In this proud day of Ronglu, in the northeast, teams of horse gangs, carrying Dashengkui's flag, crossed the bridge on the Yalu River.

A group of workers were recruited in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wenzhou, Hong Kong and other ports. The recruits paid generous settlement fees, and cashed in three months' wages on the spot, loaded them on the ship, and transported them to the North Korean waters.

In Yanzhao, those prefectures and counties that have always sent troops have raised yellow triangle flags for recruiting soldiers. After the simple and honest young and honest people, but have no way to go, were carefully selected. They were transported along the way of transportation, either by water or by dry road, and concentrated towards the same place.

In Nanyang, the orders were placed at the Li family in Nanyang, and countless orders were issued to the outside through the trading company established by the Li family in Nanyang. Many smart and capable managers of the Li family boarded ships running around the world and started purchasing in various places. Countless procurement tributaries gathered together and surged towards the same place.

These are things that those bureaucrats who are obsessed with power and have their own status in their eyes cannot be watched.

On May 6, 19th year of Guangxu, the Dragon Boat Festival was just over. The China Merchants Group ships that were preparing to carry two imperial envoys were ready. There was naturally a ceremony on the dock. The Huai army kneeled down to send them, shouted cannons by the handicap, and gave them the imperial envoys to Seoul first. They were routine.

Above the dock, two imperial envoys' cars and horses gathered at the dock amid the drums and music. Xu Yifan and Ronglu came out and looked at each other and smiled, as if both sides were not worried. When they were doing the ritual, they were humble and let them go, and they were so polite.

After all the ceremonies were completed, the steamer whistled, Rong Lu bowed to Xu Yifan, and took Yuan Shikai and his entourage who had grown a little more in the team to board the ship first.

Xu Yifan took Chu Wanli and waited under the gangway, constantly looking forward to watch, as if waiting for someone.

These days, although the documents to commemorate Deng Shichang have been issued, Deng Shichang has never arrived.

The whistle roared even more and more shrill. The British mate on the ship urged Xu Yifan several times. Xu Yifan never moved. Chu Wanli whispered behind him: "Sir, get on the boat. Lord Deng won't come."

Xu Yifan just shook his head and walked up the gangway with a sad expression. He couldn't stop looking back. Suddenly, he saw a carriage rushing towards the other end of the dock like flying. Xu Yifan grabbed Chu Wanli and jumped off the gangway in three steps and took two steps, shouting: "But Brother Zhengqing?"

The carriage stopped in front of Xu Yifan, and the horse was covered in sweat. Several strong men emerged from the tent. The first one was Deng Shichang's deputy manager Chen Jinping. However, Deng Shichang was still not seen.

Chen Jinping and the others jumped out of the carriage, saluted Xu Yifan with a flat chest, and shouted: "Mr. Xu, there is no dare to touch Lord Deng, but we, the confidants of Lord Deng, have all been dismissed. Only one of Lord Deng's lonely ones is left. Lord Deng told us to join you! I hope Lord Xu will include it!"

Xu Yifan said repeatedly: "I accept everything, I accept everything! Where is Brother Zhengqing? Why didn't he come?"

Chen Jinping took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Yifan: "Mr. Deng can only send a letter to his subordinates for him to bring it to Mr. Xu."

"Brother Qing saw the letter as if he met:

Shichang is unforgettable for his brother's righteousness. Shichang has no regrets about fire in the South China Sea. If it weren't for his brother's advocacy, how could Chang know that it would be like to promote national justice and show the pride of the navy?

My brother wanted to protect Chang, but Changsheng was a navy man, and his death was the soul of the navy. He always attached himself to the military flag and finally looked at the boundaries of China! Can you remember the day you first met?

This day, we can waving tears from the world, and we can strengthen the navy's power.

Chang does not need to cry from the world, it only needs one day to use this body to strengthen our navy's military spirit and power."

Xu Yifan's hand shook, and the letter paper suddenly disappeared with the lie-like sea breeze. He turned to the boat with a stern face. Chu Wanli and others followed closely behind and walked to the halfway of the gangway. Xu Yifan suddenly turned around and said fiercely to Chu Wanli: "History is different! I will not let some things happen again!"
Chapter completed!
