First, most of Yuan's forces were concentrated in the north. He suddenly inserted a dwelling in Jiangnan. The purpose was self -evident.

If Li Cun's intelligence survives, it will be used in the future.

Second, Li Cunzhi is a relative of the Li Hongzhang family after all.

Outstanding soldiers from the Tianjin Wusi School such as Feng Guozhen, Duan Qirui, Duan Qirui, this is his true confidant.

Li Cunzhi is clearly in his heart. He is in Zhejiang, Jiangnan. This is the sphere of influence of Zhang Zhidong and others.

If you can't live, you may be abandoned by Yuan Shikai at any time.

The only thing that made him have a confidence is his four thousand guns. This is the foundation he depends on the survival and starting.

However, everyone understands that raising the army requires a large amount of military expenditure. At present, his military expenses are the Governor's House of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Zhejiang governor.

This is very subject to others.

Li Cunzhi understands that in the future, if you have a real right to speak, you must solve the sources of military expenses without being subject to others in the future.

Therefore, he detained this treasure on Chen Tianhua, just like Zuo Zongtang took the treasure on Hu Xueyan. Li Hongzhang took Baobao on Sheng Xuanhuai.

Hu Xueyan is just Zuo Zongtang's money bag, Sheng Xuanhuai is just Li Zhongtang's dry son.

However, Chen Tianhua is his little son -in -law, which is still a family relationship and loyalty.

Now, Chen Tianhua is ambitious to engage in coal mines. Although it is difficult, if it is successful, it will completely solve the worries of his military expenditure for Li Cunzhi.

In the future, he can exercise the power of wiping in his own way, even buy the latest military weapons, expand the army, etc.

With money, the army has the most powerful force.

"Hua Zhi, I listened to it, thinking that there are two requests, one is to clear up and Xuanhuai, and let him support you to open Niutou Mountain Coal Mine, and the other is to find a reason to play Changxing Yaojin Mining. I am right."

Li Cunzhi asked.

"Gao seeing the father -in -law, these two points are the request of Xiao Yan." Chen Tianhua nodded and claimed.

Li Cunzhi thought for a while to reply:

"In this way, let's do the first thing first. If Sheng Xuanhuai agrees to open Niutou Mountain Coal Mine, HSBC also agrees to cooperate with you, then the second thing, I will arrange people to do it."

The implication is that once the possibility of opening Niutongshan Coal Mine, he dares to use the new army to forcibly interfere with Changxing County of Huzhou Prefecture, investigate the violations of the law of Yaojin mining, and at the expense of offending the local yamen of Zhejiang.

Conversely, it is impossible for Niutou Mountain Coal Mine to start, or it is not hosted by Fengzhong, then he will never act lightly.

Under the request of no place, using the forces of the new army to interfere with the local military and political unauthorized power, which means to compare their military expenses.

"Little son thanks to his father -in -law."

Chen Tianhua listened, and got up happily from the chair, bowed to salute and expressed his gratitude.

He naturally listened to Li Cunzhi's intention, which was already all going to support him.

"Excuse me, my father -in -law, what should I do in the next step, please make it clear."

Chen Tianhua threw out a substantial question, and in the inquiry request, in fact, I asked Li Cunzhi to make a statement.

In a word, how to meet Sheng Xuanhuai.

People are a member of the imperial court, and there are no important figures. I am afraid that they will not even show it.

Even if it is delivered to Li Cunzhi's worship, Sheng Xuanhuai may not buy it.

After all, Li Cunzhi just had a military officer from Sanpin, and the two never had a deal of work. In the clan of the Li clan, he did not belong to Li Hongzhang's tract, but his nephew.

"I have a plan in this heart. I will write a letter of letter. You bring it to Shanghai first and find the current Li Jingfang of the Li clan. He has worked with Sheng Xuanhuai with Li Zhongtang for many years. The relationship is like a brothers.

"

Li Cunzhi said to Chen Tianhua calmly.

"Li Jingfang?"

Chen Tianhua couldn't help but stun.

When Li Cunzhi saw Chen Tianhua's face was confused, he naturally understood that Xiao Yi's inside story about the Li family did not know.

"Hua Zhi, the relationship between our Li clan kisses, now I should be able to tell you in detail."

"Thank you, the father -in -law's trust."

For the detailed information of the Li Hongzhang family, Chen Tianhua is not a scholar engaged in historical research.

Then, Li Cunzhi introduced Chen Tianhua in detail the industrial structure and distribution of the Li family. The main members.

Among them, the special relationship between Li Jingfang and Li Jingfang and Midtown.

At that time, Li Hongzhang was forty years old, and he was still a senior staff under Zeng Guofan. He worked silently for fifteen years and did not have the opportunity to act independently.

The most embarrassing thing was that he had no son under his knees.

The ancients Yun: There are three filial piety, no afterwards.

This is something that makes Li Hongzhang unable to lift his head.

In order to make up for this defect, Li Zhaoqing, the sixth brother of the Li clan, took a successor and named Li Jingfang.

Unexpectedly, with his son Li Jingfang, Li Hongzhang's life was like opening up, all the way.

After the second year, Li Hongzhang was ordered to establish the Huai Army independently and soon transferred to the governor of Jiangnan Province.

Later, he served as Governor of Liangjiang, Governor of Huguang, etc.

At the age of fifteen years old, Li Jingfang was the eight years of succession. Li Hongzhang was ordered to replace Zeng Guofan and entered Beijing as the Governor of Zhili and the Minister of Beiyang. Since then, he started 30 years in the wind and rain.

Moreover, in the second year after the succession, Li Hongzhang's successor Zhao finally gave birth to a son, that is, Li Jingshu.

Fourteen years later, Xiao Mo's Mo Shi gave birth to Li Jingmai again.

In Li Hongzhang's heart, Li Jingfang is his own blessing.

It is true that after the sister -in -law Li Jingshu, in the face of rumors in family and society, Li Hongzhang solemnly stated on the formal occasion:

Li Jingfang is my sister -in -law, the eldest son at home, and enjoys the right to legitimate inheritance.

From then on, the family officially confirmed that Li Jingfang was the young manager of the young man.

Li Jingfang himself is also very angry. He has to raise people in the township test, and he is proficient in the language of the five countries.

In the later period, he has been engaged in Li Hongzhang, which is equivalent to the first -class secrets of the adults in the middle hall.

During the Boxer Movement, during the invasion of the Eight -Power Allied Forces, some foreigners and court ministers had secretly persuaded Li Hongzhang to support their own soldiers and become the President. Li Jingfang actively operated and resolutely supported it.

But unfortunately, Li Hongzhang did not adopt, which made Li Jingfang regret it.

After Li Hongzhang's death, Li Jingfang was silent. He saw the corruption of the Qing government.

In Shanghai, he helped Sheng Xuanhuai participate in dealing with foreigners and participating in the construction of the mining railway.
