Li Jingpu raised his head and glanced at He Changying quickly, his eyebrows and eyes were full of surprise and respect. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although such a man has a lot of minor problems, he is iron-clad at the big festival, and he deserves to be a 'strange man', right?

"Well, if you want to go, go away, I won't stop you; The training army of the general army of the Dagu Fort Luo is a first-class strong army, I will give you another outpost, and I will also assign you the Beitang training army at the Jingfang outpost. ”

Li Hongzhang said to He Changying: "What else do you need, ordnance bullets, what do you want, you just have to ask Chu Bao for it, just say I promised it." ”

"Obedience."

He Changying was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that Li Hongzhang finally did not plan to obstruct his own troops in North Korea.

And He Changying really thought that Zhang Shiheng gave too few rifle bullets, so he even made a special trip to the Beiyang Ordnance Bureau yesterday, and after grinding and soaking for a long time, Chu Baocai allocated another 100,000 rounds of ammunition.

In He Changying's view, if these cadet soldiers do not shoot three or four hundred rounds of ammunition per person in the mountains and forests, and the new military camp does not scrap the rifles of hundreds of gun barrels, how can they fight with the Orientals?

"If you have any other good ideas about the water master, say it and listen to it."

Li Hongzhang looked at He Changying, hoping to hear a good idea from his mouth that was indeed feasible.

He Changying shook her head directly when she heard this.

Just kidding, with the current mess of the Beiyang Naval Division, who can have any good way?

Let Li Hongzhang remove Ding Ruchang and let Liu Buchan, who is an expert, command the Beiyang Naval Division, are you willing?

Can you replace it with first-class anthracite white coal instead of inferior eight-trough coal?

And even if Li Hongzhang can do this, in He Changying's opinion, if the Beiyang Naval Division really consumes the combined fleet of the Eastern Ocean, it will still lose nine out of ten.

Because these are all temporary expedient measures, they cannot at all reverse the huge gap in comprehensive strength between the navies of the Qing and Japanese navies.

The old boilers need to be replaced as a whole, the artillery needs to be replaced with new rapid-fire guns in large quantities, a large number of equipment parts on the warship also need to be imported and replaced, and a large number of flowering bombs and high-quality solid armor-piercing shells need to be imported.

At the same time, it is also necessary to carry out a series of strict rectification and high-intensity training for the officers and men of the Beiyang Naval Division before they can be regarded as able to fight freely with the combined fleet of the East.

According to statistics from later generations, in the Battle of Dadonggou, the Beiyang Navy Division's ships were hit by an average of 107.71 rounds, while the Japanese ships were hit by an average of only 11.17 rounds.

And all this is not something that can be reversed by saying a few beautiful words with a glossy face and taking three or a few months of painstaking management.

Moreover, the Qing Dynasty and the opposition have been criticizing the Beiyang Naval Division all these years, isn't it because Li Hongzhang is too ruthless in grasping power, and the Beiyang Naval Division has almost become his personal armament.

How could this old man let go of power and let someone else get his hands on his fleet?

"You can harass and contain it, but it is not suitable for a big war, let alone a decisive battle."

Although He Changying knew that it would be useless, he still couldn't help but say: "However, in case of losing the war, we must completely abandon the previous conservative strategy, and boldly and actively use warships to roam and harass and attack the Oriental mainland; In this way, at least for a short time, Toyo will not be able to increase the number of troops in Korea, thereby expanding the scale of the war. ”

He Changying didn't vaguely mention anything about Dadonggou or anything, because his identity as a traverser was too creepy.

More importantly, even if there was no naval battle of Dadonggou, as long as Li Hongzhang could not withstand the pressure of the government and the opposition and let the naval division formation run to the Yellow Sea frequently, the Qing and Japanese fleets would have to knock each other sooner or later.

Li Hongzhang directly shook his head and vetoed He Changying's opinion: "I heard Yu Ting say that Dongyang has purchased a few new clippers, and it is tantamount to suicide to attack Dongyang Island with the aging slow ships of the sailors; It's hateful that Chile went back on its word and promised to sell our warships to suddenly repentance in the end. ”

He Changying was silent, he was humble and light-hearted, some things were no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't change those upcoming tragedies.

Moreover, as Li Hongzhang said, it is indeed not a good trick to use a slow boat to attack the coastal cities of the East.

Although it could delay the progress of the war and drag the almost collapsed economy of the East into a deeper quagmire, it required a spirit of self-sacrifice on the part of the officers and men of the fleet.

To tell the truth, for this point, except for a few people in the Beiyang Naval Division, the rest of the officers and soldiers, He Changying did not have any hope at all.

Officers and soldiers can be trusted, sows can go up trees!

Fortunately, in his own hands there is a team of young, enthusiastic, and energetic cadet soldiers.

At this moment, He Changying really can't wait to put on her wings and fly to North Korea immediately.

He Changying's words made Li Hongzhang feel dark in his heart.

Now the government and the opposition are urging themselves to give the sailors an order to fight a decisive battle with the fleet of the Eastern Oceans, and Ding Ruchang can't stand the ridicule of outsiders and runs over to ask for battle.

This is simply a person who is carrying the world by himself!

The only one in this is two special, the vision is clear, Lafayette is afraid of being gossiped by the emperor and the government and the opposition, so now he doesn't say a word, and lets the emperor be fooled and coaxed by those ministers.

As for his own little fellow, he can't get oil and salt, so he has to go to Pyongyang to go to Pyongyang for a long time.

The two purposes of bothering to call him over today have not been achieved.

"When I arrived in Pyongyang, I discussed with Shuqing more about things, and I should be calm and not reckless; If there is something that cannot be solved, go to the scriptures, and don't you all discuss bowing? ”

Speaking of this, even Li Hongzhang himself couldn't help laughing.

The two of them are almost forty years old, one is the minister of Japan, and the other is the second rank of Hua Ling, who drank a few cups of horse urine, and actually wanted to marry a hairy boy in his early twenties.

Li Hongzhang looked at the little daughter and the little fellow Feixi sitting beside him with a smile, and felt that it was okay for the eldest son and nephew to recognize this little brother in advance.

He Changying saw Li Jingpu, who was sitting opposite, raising his beautiful face, looking at himself with bright eyes, thinking that he must be laughing at himself and his eldest brother's cousin's drunken madness, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he hurriedly bowed his head and agreed.

What He Changying didn't know was that in Li Jingpu's heart, it was now full of surprise: When did his father's tone, which is like telling his children and grandchildren, actually be used on an outsider?

"Alright, you go get busy."

Li Hongzhang, who felt a little tired, sighed in his heart, picked up the tea cup in front of him, and took a sip.

Serve tea to guests.

Li Jingpu looked at He Changying in the distance, and had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

A very ordinary person at first sight, but I am still very curious, how did he write the book "Famous Jinmen", and what is good about this book, which is worthy of so many readers?

Then he was slightly annoyed that this disciple was frivolous and bold, and dared to touch his little hands and tease himself under his father's nose.

However, the following things were even more unexpected than she expected.

can make Nanyang super-rich spend thousands of dollars to support him, and he actually spent 90,000 taels of silver in one day without frowning.

The sharp judgment of the situation in North Korea and the Beiyang Navy Division can make my father put down his body and ask questions.

After his father promised to be a high-ranking official, he entered the governor's yamen who could not enter no matter how many people fought for his head, but he could resolutely refuse to change his original intention, and still wanted to go to the poor and remote Korea to fight with the Orientals.

All this subverted her previous understanding that this was a 'light child'.
