On September 23, after personally presided over the memorial ceremony of the fallen soldiers, Yang Hao left his mother's mom as if he was running away, and took Song Yunsheng to Tianjin on the "Dongming" line.

The freighter was berthed at Dagukou, and a group of people transferred to the speedboat that unloaded the main gun and arrived at the US Concession Pier along the Haihe River.

It was ten o'clock in the morning, and the dock was crowded with people. Almost all the people who had friendship and business dealings came. There were hundreds of people with great reputations, which were lively and lively, and the scene was quite large.

As soon as Yang Hao got off the springboard, a burst of warm applause rang out like thunder. Yan Fu rushed over with a big strode, holding his hands tightly and shaking them vigorously, and said angrily: "My brother is too risky this time, but it makes Brother Wei and others feel worried. Fortunately, it's safe."

Huo Yuanjia also came close to him, and his eyes were powerful and said with joy: "Sir, if you have such a big move next time, you must not forget to bring your brothers to you. Killing enemies for the country is the place where we use our skills!"

This statement that clearly sang the opposite made Yan Fu unable to help but glar at him fiercely and scolded: "Don't clamor, you don't even see how many people he is responsible for now!"

Huo Yuanjia laughed and retreated to the back with embarrassment.

Over the past few months, he has followed Yan Fu to study and learn the principles, and has understood many articles written by Yang Hao one by one, and has also learned various progressive books by patiently studying the dictionary. Although he did not say it clearly, he still regarded Yan Fu as a teacher in private.

A hero like Zhan Liuye dared not stand too far because more business leaders, foreign business managers, and shopkeepers of the ticket number are waiting in the front row.

These people are undoubtedly partners who want to make a fortune.

At the beginning, I was very worried about Yang Hao's involvement in the war. One was afraid that Boss Yang would suddenly die. Two was worried that he would suddenly get out such a powerful army and investigate the court for bans. What should I do if I was fooled in the newspaper? I couldn't fool it for long.

However, the subsequent transactions flocked to them immediately left their worries behind.

The true nature of businessmen is that as long as they give them enough profits, they must do even if they collude with enemies and sell off their country. By the way, didn’t the Shanxi merchants do that back then?

The court has not made any further comments. When the merits of Pyongyang are perfected, the merchants with great hands and eyes also know the court's views.

At the beginning, a group of Qingliu tried their best to instigate Emperor Guangxu to kill Yang Hao. In their opinion, it was the various tricks caused by this disaster that led to such chaos in the world. As for the big storm that caused this, they would not take it seriously. They would not feel sorry for other people's children.

Emperor Guangxu was not so easy to fool. Without Weng Tonghe watching, this young emperor who was determined to make a great cause of rejuvenation was actually very pioneering. What he was more concerned about was how Yang Hao could adjust a group of guards to fight the regular army in person.

When he was defending Pyongyang, Yang Hao personally led the guards to fight bloody battles and finally saved the face of the Qing Dynasty. After the newspaper propaganda, Mr. Yang's generous speech at the gate of the city immediately resonated with countless young people and passionate scholars.

Now, the potential thief has become an anti-Japanese hero. It is not that easy to get a knife.

I don’t know who gave the emperor advice, saying that Li Hongzhang was incompetent and occupied the place to prevent the Qing Dynasty from following the steps of the great powers. If he could set up a young role model to fight against Taiwan, he might be able to open up the situation, sweep away the current stupid atmosphere, and open up a new situation.

The Imperial Party itself is not united, and no one takes charge of the big move, so there is no consensus.

The businessmen were agile and thought that if Yang Hao was really promoted by the emperor and became a young upstart, their speculation could be regarded as following the path and holding the right thigh!

Therefore, after the Battle of the Yellow Sea and the Yang family once again showed their strength, all the minds gathered in Tianjin Wei made a secret decision and must seize this rare opportunity.

To be promoted, kill and set fire to be recruited. They never doubt that the young emperor would boldly use the young Yang Hao as a minister. Young age? It doesn't matter. Of course, an extraordinary person should take charge of the responsibility. Without leaving a braid? Just tie a fake one and make do with it first. Besides, the emperor now wants to reform the past, and maybe he will cut his braid one day.

As for his origin, who doesn't know that Yang Hao is from an American college student? In the court, he is also treated as a fourth- and fifth-rank official. Besides, he has money, so it's easy to buy a backup.

I am afraid of thinking about things, and the more they think about it, the more they think it is. Today, they are crowded to welcome them, so they want to leave a good impression and prepare to get ten or a hundred times the return on investment in the future.

Yang Hao greeted them one by one with a spring breeze on his face, and returned to the concession like stars holding the moon.

The first building to be put into use has been unsealed, but it is a Western-style building with six stories high. The steel structure skeleton, cement prefabricated board splicing, and the Roman columns and sculptures on the outside are machine-processed. In this world, it can be built in three months, but now it seems to be very fast.

This building was used as an office building of the Yanhua Chamber of Commerce and Commercial Bank.

Not to mention the following social engagement, he agreed to go to the Lishunde Hotel in the British Concession for lunch. As soon as Yang Hao returned to the office, he saw Zhou Jianhao delivering a famous post with a serious expression, which was exactly Li Hongzhang!

As Li Zhongtang's noble status, he sent a post to invite someone. There was a hint of strangeness inside and outside.

Zhou Jianhao responded fiercely to this and even said excitedly: "It is very likely that the old guy noticed our intention. He planned to hold a Hongmen Banquet and let you fall into the trap. Sir, it is best not to go."

Yang Hao thought a little deeper and waved his hand and smiled, "He doesn't dare to attack me now. He can't figure out my details for a day, and Li Hongzhang can't make up his mind if he doesn't settle the Japanese for a day. Especially now that we are connected with so many forces and tens of millions of transactions, he dare not offend the public's anger. Humph, if we don't have a place to repair his ship!"

It goes without saying how bad the Beiyang Navy's logistics is. In fact, the two docks of Lushun and Dagu, which can be maintained and maintained in name only can only be done with simple maintenance, and have become a habit for ten years.

During this Yellow Sea Battle, the superstructures of several main battleships were almost blown up and destroyed, and the main guns and sub-air guns and even the hull equipment were damaged. They could not solve it. They bought it now from the Germans. One was to be hacked, and the other was too late to go in time.

On the other hand, the Japanese consciously introduced shipbuilding technology and even artillery and ammunition technology from the beginning. It is estimated that at this time, those who were less damaged were almost done with all the less damaged ones.

Yang Hao analyzed the gap between the two sides early through the Guowenbao. Li Hongzhang is not stupid and will never take risks with his own foundation. He will definitely understand the things Yang Hao showed.

But, everything must be prepared for a certain amount. Who knows if that stubborn and conceited old man will suddenly get angry?

Yang Hao still prepared for half a day and night, and various emergency strategies were ready to stop. The next morning, he still accompanied Zhou Jianhao and Huo Yuanjia and drove a steamer to the Beiyang Yamen.

When Yang Hao saw that Li Jingfang was the one who came out to lead the way for him, he probably knew it.

He still has some good feelings for this person. He is studious, has a relatively upright person, and is much more open-minded than the old man. If he had not been lucky in the past, he would have been suppressed by the old man for the rest of his life and could not resist, and he might have been able to rebel.

In a series of plans, Yang Hao also treated him as a very useful chess piece. Today's contact was an excellent opportunity.

The two of them now sit in the front hall. Li Jingfang greeted a few very politely and asked suddenly: "Mr. Yang believes that this Sino-Japanese war will not have a good result. Can you dare to save it?"

Yang Hao said frankly: "No. Unless the army that can fall from the sky and train and equip it with modern methods must also have officers who follow. Otherwise, the land war will definitely be defeated again and again."

Li Jingfang was a little disappointed. He wanted to get some good news. He sank a little and asked again: "So, based on your judgment, what will be the worst result?"

"The army was defeated, the Japanese army captured Liaodong, and further landed in Shandong and completely destroyed the Beiyang Navy. The court's peace-seeking faction raised its head, and in order to please the Queen Mother of the Cialis, they were eager to calm down the matter and agreed to the sky-high claim raised by the Japanese Lion. The compensation was tens of millions of taels, the Taiwan-Wan and Liaodong were ceded, and the colonial concession was required in Tianjin!"

Seeing Li Jingfang's face gradually gloomy, Yang Hao gave another blow without mercy: "And the court will definitely let the Zhongtang go to the peace talks. At that time, a treaty that was powerless and humiliated by the country and was scolded for thousands of years in the future would have Li Zhongtang's name written. He would be labeled as a traitor and his reputation would be destroyed in one lifetime."

"Ah?!How can this work?!"

Li Jingfang stood up, his face changed drastically.

Such a result is not impossible. He knew very well how many people in the court were jealous of the Li family. If there was really that day, they would definitely not miss the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Li Hongzhang was able to cover up until today and asked for a final conclusion like Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang. The last treaty on Goryeo has already been criticized a lot. If he signs the defeated contract this time... this blow would be too big!

"Hmph, nonsense! The battle has not been fought yet, how did you know that the Japanese can win? Their navy and army have suffered a great loss. How dare you come and fight again?"

A voice came from outside, and Li Hongzhang's secretary Luo Fenglu stepped in, staring at Yang Hao with a bad look, and sneered: "It's a big word, you must know that you are not the only one in this world who understands the situation outside the country!"

Yang Hao ignored him and stared at Li Jingfang and asked: "Myster Li has been in Japan for three years. With the nature of the Japanese as you know, what would they do if they suffer such a big loss?"

Li Jingfang frowned and thought for a while, and shook his head with a wry smile: "They will retaliate even more wildly! The Japanese are sometimes as unreasonable as mad dogs."

Yang Hao slapped his face: "That's it! Unless they are completely defeated by them, killing him millions of people, making him feel that you are even more crazy and bloodthirsty, they will worship you in reverse and even kneel down and lick your toes."

Luo Fenglu was stunned. Is this still talking about humans? It’s like a group of beasts and beasts!

His eyes became more and more unkind when he looked at Yang Hao, but he was puzzled why Li Jingfang nodded in agreement. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "Suce Fu asked the eldest son and Mr. Yang to come over."

The voice of "Mr. Yang" was very reluctant. Yang Hao pretended not to hear it, and stood up and went inside with Li Jingfang. When he passed by his side, he suddenly said: "Mr. Luo has free time in the future, so you can read the article "The Law of the Jungle" I wrote, or it may be of some help to you in your future diplomacy."

Luo Fenglu bowed his hand: "I will definitely read it!"

The three of them then remained silent until they entered the back hall summoned by Li Hongzhang. A eldest son of the Li family and ambassador to Japan, and a later outstanding diplomat accompanied him. Yang Hao's greatness is also worthy of the present.

Li Hongzhang still looked old and hard. He bowed Yang Hao with a light "um" and didn't give him a seat. He asked, "You said in the newspaper that my troops are vulnerable. If this is true, I probably can't sit for too long. So, who do you think can take over this thousand-pound burden instead?"

Yang Hao had a smile on his face that seemed extremely annoying to Luo Fenglu, and pointed to his nose and said, "Sir Zhongtang, how do you think of me?" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
