Why did * * * Li from the DPRK send an escort to the Beiyang Navy?

I don't know how to deal with it in movies. Lee is playing Prince of Alcohol? (That is, the Seven Masters you mentioned) Visiting Beiyang Navy is recorded in historical materials. Wang Xiaohang, who lived in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, recorded this story earlier, and later Levin quoted this anecdote in the third volume of The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. According to Levin's analysis, Li is acting as the eyes and ears of Cixi to see what the new navy really looks like. I added that the navy was not only new at that time, but also of great strategic significance. Cixi naturally attaches importance to it and ensures that its leadership is in her own hands. Hey? He was the biological father of Emperor Guangxu, and he built a navy (Li Hongzhang was only a "minister of social affairs" at that time), although Cixi played a game? It's reassuring, but if you indulge blindly, will the leadership of the navy completely fall into the game? In the hands of Emperor Guangxu, this was a great disadvantage to Cixi. This can be regarded as the strategy of this scheming old-school politician.
