Chapter 51 The Real Soldier

Regarding Lu Hong's analysis, the big guys present did not express any agreement or denial. However, Yang Shixiang asked a few more questions and turned the topic to the point, "Lu Yun Judgment, you think you are very concerned about the North Koreans. Why not talk about how to solve the current situation? If the Japanese use this as an excuse to interfere in North Korea, what kind of tricks can they do to deal with it?"

In fact, at this moment, all the big guys in the room racked their brains to consider this issue. Yang Shixiang asked Lu Hong, so naturally he didn't have much hope. There were even some Lu Hong's intentions to take the school exam, which was not an easy question!

Lu Hong is actually in a psychological struggle at this moment. To be honest, there is not necessarily no way to deal with this contradiction... but if the problem of the North Korean royal family is not solved, in fact, the trouble caused by North Korea will obviously not stop. As he knows, the riots of the Dongxue Party that will soon break out is the real cause of the turmoil in North Korea.

However, if I were telling this, I would have become a charlatan. However, at this time, I would have done my best and left my destiny. It was not me who was in charge. If I could allow Japan to intervene in the situation in North Korea later, this would be a good idea.

He raised his eyebrows and immediately spoke, "Mr. Yang, I have a folk remedy. Maybe I can try it... It is probably a huge challenge to catch the criminals from the Japanese now, but if it goes the other way, as far as I know, isn't Park Yonghyo the one wanted by the Korean royal family during the Shin Ka Rebellion? If the King of Korea can pardon Park Yonghyo and let this guy return to the country and do it for his official... it would be fine if he could even be the chief of the whole place!"

Lu Hong's words immediately made the people present frown... It's not that this method is not good, but because this method is too off-limits. The King of Korea pardoned an old minister who had sent someone to assassinate before. If Park Yong Hyo-ruo really agreed, that would be really bizarre... However, almost all of them thought that if Park Yong Hyo-ruo was willing to pardon and return to China, it would be hard for the Japanese to say anything, that's their family matters!

Wang Renkan was obviously not optimistic about Lu Hong's idea, so he smiled slightly and tried to smooth things over. "Old Zhongtang, this matter is too sudden. I think it's better to ask Yuan Weiting to tell the King of Korea Li Xi that this way of causing trouble will not be beneficial to them!"

Li Hongzhang obviously had a headache about this matter. The Japanese ambitions of wolves. How could he not know about it for so many years? Japan forced Ryukyu and tried to attack Taiwan. Fortunately, Liu Mingchuan was in charge, which cut off the Japanese ambitions. However, the Ryukyu islands were already overflowing and could not be stopped. This North Korea's affairs... are indeed very troublesome!

Later, he and Wang Renkan went to the backyard to chat alone for a while, while Lu Hong was waiting outside. After today's incident, Yang Shixiang and Zhou Fu had a different opinion of him. Yang Shixiang took him outside with him because he had business work later, so he took him around for a while and especially took him to meet Lin Taizeng.

To Lu Hong's surprise, in front of him, a small official of the sixth rank, Lin Taizeng, the second rank general, was very polite, and even took the initiative to mention his experience of studying in the UK, which was quite enthusiastic... After thinking about it carefully, he was leaning on the banner of Wang Renkan, the imperial envoy, which was quite tempting to raise the banner, and Yang Shixiang made an appointment with him to go to the martial arts school in the afternoon.

At noon, greeting the imperial envoy was naturally Li Hongzhang's top priority. Moreover, the political transactions between them in the morning were obviously very successful. However, Lu Hong was not qualified to be on this table this time. He waited outside until the afternoon before he saw Yang Shixiang coming out with a full meal.

After getting on the carriage from the Governor's Office, Yang Shixiang asked: "Person Lu Yun, are you going to Tianjin Martial Arts School? Or should you recruit those men at Beiyang Naval Academy?"

Lu Hong had already considered this point clearly. He bowed and said, "Mr. Yang, I have discussed this matter with Lord. Let's go to the martial arts school!"

The carriage came out along the south gate of Tianjin Guard and went down the Baihe River. In just half an hour, Lu Hong heard the movement of military exercises from afar. This made Lu Hong's interest suddenly increase. Tianjin Martial Arts is the first modern military academy in modern history. It has been established for ten years and has learned the practice methods from German instructors, but he doesn't know what kind of good soldiers he can pick here.

Yang Shixiang next to him actually didn't take Wang Renkan's formation of the accompanying camp seriously. According to the Qing Dynasty, the imperial envoy went on patrol according to the specifications of a first-rank official. However, Wang Renkan obviously did not enjoy this show this time, so he naturally did not examine this. However, the imperial envoy followed the camp and proposed to recruit people from the military academy. In his opinion, it was just a purely stance. This was to go to the navy to inspect military discipline, not a war...

When he arrived outside the school, he saw a team of solemnly standing outside the gate, and the majestic soldiers paced back and forth with bayonets. This surprised Lu Hong. Just looking at the military training, the soldiers were well trained... And there were military officers here to welcome him, and Yang Shixiang came here in person. If it weren't for Wang Renkan's face, who could have let him, a third-rank official, helpless! While Lu Hong watched, Yang Shixiang did things in an orderly manner. After several military officers were ordered one by one, they would go out to summon the students quickly.

This Tianjin Martial Preparation School was a major part of Li Hongzhang's military affairs. Yang Shixiang was obviously very familiar with this place, but he was very interested in taking Lu Hong to visit the order room, instrument room, repair room and other places. In the lobby, a tall and thin bald man with two big beards rushed over with several instructors.

"Mr. Yang, I'm just patrolling the playground. I'm late... I'm late!" The bald bearded man laughed and hunched his hands from a distance.

"Mr. Yin is busy with military affairs, it's okay!" Yang Shixiang also looked polite. Lu Hong stood behind him. He heard this guy's name, he should be the general manager of the Beiyang Military Preparation School, but he didn't know who he was. Logically speaking, he should be a little famous... He was sharp-eyed and immediately found that this person was always a little different from others, and he had no braids!

Damn... this is such a fierce man. He is so capable in this era, and he actually cut his braids! However, he couldn't remember how could there be such a person in history!

Yang Shixiang turned around, smiled slightly, and took the initiative to introduce: "General Yin, this is Lu Hong, Lu Yun, who is responsible for the imperial envoy Wang... Lu Yun, let me introduce it. This is Yinchang, General Yin. He studied in the Berlin Military Academy in Germany in his early years. He studied Army, Lord Yin, and Lu Yun also studied in Thailand and returned to China. You must get close to each other!"

Yinchang... When Lu Hong heard this, he did have such a person in his memory, and he was one of the few overseas students among the Manchus. However, the most famous person is not his study in the German military academy, nor is he who later served as the Minister of the Army of the Qing government, and later served as the Chief of Staff and other senior officials under Yuan Datou. But this guy is famously nerd!

In the history I knew, after the Wuchang Uprising, this guy was the Minister of the Army at that time. As a result, he led the army to suppress it, but he was defeated repeatedly and repeatedly. His qualifications as a German Army Academy were even more regarded as a joke.

However, today he came to get people. Lu Hong did not intend to ridicule the Manchu military officer with the halo of the Berlin Army Academy in Germany. He immediately bowed and said politely, "Sir Yin, Master Wang is going to recruit, please help me!"

Yinchang's beard shook, and he smiled with his waist on his back: "Lu Yun's judgment is so heavy, he is just doing things for the emperor. I have asked the students to gather in the school... Lord Yang, please let the judge Lu Yun come in!"

When Lu Hong stood in the stands in front of the schoolyard and watched the teams of students rumbling outside the schoolyard running and entering the field, this military scene made him feel like he was suddenly in a different world. Yang Shixiang obviously had the bad habit of a leader speaking in later generations. After the loudspeaker was brought up, the guy immediately began to whine.

"Dear students, today we are summoning you to recruit the imperial envoy to inspect the camp..."

Lu Hong naturally had no interest in this guy's long-term discussion. He turned his head and asked Yinchang, "General Yin, what subjects are all the students in the martial arts school?"

He actually wanted to ask, there were two thousand people in the campus here, and they were not all big-headed soldiers and illiterate, right? However, when they asked about the question, they were somewhat contemptuous, so they asked about this subject in a tactful way. As a result, Yinchang's answer surprised him, "Lu Yunzong, the students in the school must learn basic subjects such as astronomy, geography, mapping, and calculation. In terms of military strategy, they performed gun and cannon formations, practiced horse teams, infantry teams, artillery teams, marching, formation, division and combination, offense and defense, etc."

Yinchang's answer made Lu Hong quite satisfied. It seemed that he had not come in vain. The two of them muttered and talked for a long time before they heard Yang Shixiang's ups and downs speech come to an abrupt end. Then Yinchang went up and muttered a few more words, nothing more than words of encouragement and encouragement.

When it was Lu Hong's turn, his speech immediately came to an end, "Dear students, I was ordered by the imperial envoy Wang to recruit these 50 places for the camp. However, I have a say first. When I come to my camp, I may not be able to make a fortune, may not be promoted to an official position, may even ask you to die, and may even make you worse than death... The only thing I can guarantee is that you will become a real soldier here!"
