It is just a coincidence that their names are similar. Li Hongzhang is from Anhui and Li Hongzao is from Hebei. They are not related by blood.
Relations, but they have two things in common: First, they are all cattle people in the late Qing Dynasty, and their political status is equal. Second, both of them are students of Kong Jixun and work hard. He left a lot of notes and drafts, most of which were written in "oriental style", elegant and natural, with careful words.

The words "Yan Ti" and "Huangshan Guti" are even more precious and have a lot of temperament.
What is commendable is that Li Hongzao is also an accomplished painter. His paintings have the style of Ni Yunlin, and his flower-and-bird paintings and fan paintings are the treasures of the literati at that time. Zhang often entertains and sings with ministers of the same dynasty and in-laws of the younger generation, which has become a story in painting circles.

The Qing government also refused to approve this agreement and demanded the recall of Chonghou. With the joint efforts of Li Hongzao, Zhang Zhidong and others, British and French Minister Ceng Jize was appointed as a part-time job.
Send a Russian envoy to Russia to negotiate the contract change. After more than half a year's negotiations, Ceng Jize signed the Sino-Russian Ili Treaty with Russian Foreign Minister Giles and Russian Ambassador to China Buze in St. Petersburg, Russia on February 24th, 872.
