You come out with me...

Go out!

Zhu Ming followed Li Hongzhang out angrily. He felt that he had been deceived and was very innocent. You should know that in his impression, Li Hongzhang was a powerful man, the most capable minister in Wanqing, especially the Westernization Movement launched with the Japanese Sixth Guard, which had a lot of results. Among them, the Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau was one of the best.

But since he came here, he discovered that advertisements killed people.

You should know that in later generations, some people praised Li Hongzhang, especially in the achievements of the Westernization Affairs. Some people even used these things to say that China was defeated by Japan. They said that Japan was also very poor back then, because it was because it was because it seized a large amount of equipment from the Beiyang army at that time, and then it developed rapidly...

These people may have forgotten the reaction of the Japanese emperor before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and the Japanese government made the worst plans at that time, etc.

"Is this Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau not good?"

Zhu Ming bought two strings of candied haws, handed them to Li Ju’s lotus root, and ate them by himself. He said indifferently, “It costs millions of taels of silver, so how can you do this?”

Li Hongzhang glanced at Zhu Ming, and didn't say anything, but walked on the temple fair with his hands behind his back. There were people coming and going around him, making him angry and didn't know how to send it!

You know, it was originally a pleasure for Li Hongzhang to be able to imitate these nine sons, Mauser, to be successful. After all, the Qing government was still very open-minded in the pursuit of cutting-edge military equipment in the world. Well, as the saying goes, Chinese style and Western use, of course, we have to learn from other people's excellence. This was the ancestral teaching that the Saint-Emperor Kang Mazi had passed down from the old man!

But Zhu Ming's words completely revealed the fact that Li Hongzhang was devastated under his gorgeous clothes!

The Qing Dynasty has reached this point today, and it has been staggering and shaking. Can't Li Hongzhang see it?

This is not only reflected in the international situation, but more in the Qing Empire itself.

Is the Westernization Movement easy to deal with?

Many people say that it’s easy to deal with money if you have money. Isn’t it just to buy it? There is no so-called patent copyright nowadays, and there is no technical blockade. That’s not what you want to buy!

But everyone has forgotten one thing, talent is the key factor.

The Qing Dynasty had a population of 40 million, so where could there be useful talents?

"Do you think I don't know?"

Li Hongzhang took them to a teahouse, sat by the window on the second floor, and slowly said as he looked at the crowded streets below, "Do you know the predecessor of the Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau?"

Zhu Ming was stunned. His predecessor, what kind of predecessor?

Li Juou quickly finished the remaining bite of candied haws, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of his mouth, and said a little shyly, "The Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau was originally named the General Administration of Military Machinery. It was founded by Chonghou, the Minister of Trade in Sankou, a Manchu Huangqin Banner in the Qing Dynasty in the sixth year of Tongzhi. At that time, it was to compete with the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau founded by my father in Shanghai. After all, there is a difference between Manchu and Han, and the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau is huge in scale. For the purpose of checks and balances, Chonghou founded the General Administration of Military Machinery with the support of the central government..."

"But you also know that Chonghou is not the one who runs the industry. Later in the ninth year of Tongzhi, when my father was the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang, he had to take over this mess and rename it Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau. However, there were people in it and British people, with complex relationships that could develop to this day..."

Li Juou didn't finish speaking, but that meaning was very clear!

My dad is very powerful. If I change someone, I can't do this?

Of course, Li Juou is qualified to say this. In the late Qing Dynasty, it would be impossible to change someone. However, she forgot that person, that is Zhu Ming in front of her. This is a man with cheating on her body!

Zhu Ming glanced at Li Hongzhang and said lightly, "I don't care about your suffering on the battlefield. I just look at the result. I will shoot you with one shot. Either you die or the other party dies. It's that simple! When I get to the sea, I will either sink or others die. He will not ask you if you have tried your best. The master of the Zhongtang feels that he can rest assured..."

sit back and relax?

Haha, boy, you're overthinking!

Not to mention that there are countries such as Britain, France, Germany, Italy and the United States in the world. Even in Asia, Russia and Japan are eyeing each other. How can we rest assured?

Now it can be said that it is internal and external troubles!

Li Hongzhang stroked his beard and said nothing!

He was not those Manchu nobles, nor Emperor Guangxu who grew up in the palace and was in the hands of women, nor was he the Empress Dowager Cixi who had only the desire for power in her heart...

He, Li Hongzhang, still has his own ambitions!

What he maintained was not the Qing Dynasty, but this land.

Fortunately, Li Hongzhang has never been to later generations. If he had been there, he would use the most famous words in later generations to cleanse himself-

What I am loyal to is this land, not the Qing government!

Hey, this moment, it became a burden of enduring humiliation and bearing all the infamy. He didn't even care about any nation, just to protect this land...

So great!

Li Hongzhang thought about his grievances and what he was doing now, and couldn't help but think that he was really great!

If Wan Qing didn’t have me, Li Hongzhang, I wonder if this land would fall into the abyss of thousands of colonization like India?

"Xiao Zhu thinks, if it weren't for me, Li Hongzhang, what would happen to the world?" Li Hongzhang did not answer Zhu Ming's series of questions, but directly asked a question that was incompatible with each other.

Zhu Ming was stunned!

You should know that this important official in the late Qing Dynasty was dismissed from office and stayed in Xianliang Temple in his later years. He was beyond words about the late Qing Dynasty and his life. He believed that what he did was "a piece of paper tiger". He mocked himself, "I am just a paper maker, and when facing a broken house, he only knew how to repair but not renovate it." As the words came to the words, the Qing Dynasty was "like an old house and abandoned house and whitewashed". How could it be suppressed and not missed?

But what if there is no Li Hongzhang?

Some people may say that there is no Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, and Zuo Zongtang, but in fact, we really break that period of history and find that Li Hongzhang is really irreplaceable!

The contributions made by Zhang Zhidong and Zuo Zongtang to China are of great significance, especially Zuo Zongtang, who maintained China's unity. It can be said that in the eyes of some people, this is a great feud, great righteousness, and great achievements!

But in fact, both Zhang Zhidong and Zuo Zongtang have more or less fatal flaws, and the reason why Li Zhongtang is Li Zhongtang is because he is Li Hongzhang.

Just like in the Beiyang period, countless generals and presidents emerged one after another, with outstanding abilities, personality and charm in all aspects. But speaking, the reason why the president was the president was because of Yuan Shikai!

As the saying goes, the times create heroes, heroes create legends, and the momentum creates people!
