In less than two days of sea voyages, Lu Hong was familiar with Tang Wenjin, but Li He, the pipe and belt, only politely said a few words when they met, and Qin Tianmin's house saw Lu Hong mixed with these naval officers, and specially ran to remind him that Lord Huang Tifang and Huang didn't look down on this Beiyang officer, and he even heard the little old man privately ridicule Beiyang for using a warship to transport lychees from Guangzhou to the capital.

Lu Hong also laughed when he heard it, this thing is indeed true, and the Beiyang sent the fastest Fulong torpedo boat to do this work, and when the fastest warship in the Qing Dynasty was transporting lychees, he was already gearing up and preparing to do a big job, and in this era, the navy, let alone eating lychees, is gunpowder used in naval training, and it is said that they have to quarrel with the Ministry of Finance for money.

Until the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, the planned 50 training shells were finally test-fired less than 10 rounds because there was no money to purchase training charges, and in historical records, the main guns of the Sanjing ships set a rate of fire of one round in half an hour, which has a lot to do with the lack of live-fire training.

Lu Hong didn't mind Qin Tianmin's advice, and under Tang Wenjin's warm invitation, he finally got his wish to observe the artillery training carried out on the Pingyuan ship, the main gun in front of the Pingyuan ship is actually an improved terrace gun, a steel plate 1.2 meters high encloses the entire battery, in order to prevent the shells from falling into the terrace surrounded by this steel plate, a semicircular cannon cover is added to it, which also effectively solves the problem of ventilation of the closed cannon cover in this era.

However, after the observation, he was completely powerless to complain about the Krupp main gun on this domestic armored ship, and the propellant and shells sent from the lower deck pods were completely reloaded by the gunner, and the shells weighed more than 60 kilograms, and the propellant weighed 40 kilograms......

After talking to Tang Wenjin about this problem, this guy was also helpless, in fact, they had already discovered this problem, but the Beiyang Naval Division had never fought since it became an army, and this kind of problem has become a problem that is not a problem, and what makes Lu Hong unable to complain is naturally the naval master's artillery skills, which can be completely relied on experience and luck......

This Krupp 170mm main gun can rotate the gun mount up and down, left and right, and shell the entire forward horizon, however, in view of the hull floating up and down with the wave and swaying left and right, Lu Hong sharply raised this problem, and Tang Wenjin actually said that the error caused by this reason cannot be avoided, and this error can only be reduced by using experience.

On March 15th, after two days of sea voyage, the Pingyuan ship finally arrived at Tianjin Zizhulin Wharf, Huang Tifang, Lu Hong and his entourage said goodbye to Li He, the little old man is old, a little tired, directly into Tianjin City, he is really a wide range of friends, after a while he lived in the Tianjin patrol Taoist Xu Shouchang Mansion.

And the people who came to visit that day were endless, although Lu Hong also had the heart to get acquainted with the officials here, in this era, connections are undoubtedly a vital resource, but the little old man didn't seem to have the intention of introducing himself to the visitor at all, just let him rest and prepare to go to Yanjing.

Lu Hong naturally understands that if he has the heart to do a career, at the beginning of this start, the important surname of the network is self-evident, of course, now he has a little accumulation, compared to the poor and white more than two months ago, after some practice in Mengyin, in addition to the cash of 1,200 taels of silver, there is also a month's output in the diamond mining area, and more importantly, he finally has some vital contacts...... This little old man is obviously one!

Since there is nothing to do here, Lu Hong immediately took a leave of absence from the little old man and went out to do something important, the trip to Yanjing is not trivial, who is Weng Tongyi? The power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, under the two of them, the Qing high-ranking and powerful people above 40,000, this lord can also be regarded as an alternative to the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, the son of the family, the family is honest, the emperor of the three dynasties, one family and two champions, people are not short of money and officials, which also leads to this additional pursuit of fame in disguise.

Although he has a super industrial system, that thing seems to be completely unattractive to this Qingliu boss, who has never had any positive comments about spending money on foreign affairs...... In fact, since the Westernization Movement, there are indeed a lot of criticisms, and the more than 20 million pieces of furniture from Sheng Xingsun are not from the Westerners! This is a height that Prince Qing, who is famous for making money, can't even reach!

In the past few days, Lu Hong can be said to have considered this matter with all his might, and he has already had a variety of plans to consider and deal with it! And now it is crucial to have evidence to convince Weng Tonggong of what he said......

Things have developed so far, somewhat beyond his expectations, originally he was still planning to explore the ten-mile ocean field on the beach, but he didn't expect Huang Tifang's sudden appearance, which made all the ideas a utopian, but this is an opportunity to intervene in this big situation...... Although I don't know how much I can achieve the purpose of this trip, I can finally do my part for this era and this nation.

Went out early in the morning, and at ten o'clock in the evening, Lu Hong rushed back with a tired face, this day he can be said to have jumped up and down and ran a lot of places in Tianjin Wei, and finally got things done, while walking and thinking about what else was missing, there was already a person running in front, shouting loudly, "Brother Lu, Brother Lu, where did you go today, I have been looking for you all afternoon!" ”

He was naturally familiar with this voice, it was Qin Tianmin, because he was tired of listening to this guy all day long, he finally said hello to him, changed his name, and heard that this guy was looking for himself all afternoon, he was a little curious, "Brother Qin, there is Lao Youla, why are you looking for me?" ”

Qin Tianmin leaned over and whispered: "I'm fine, it's Huang Tifang who wants to see you, a big man came to the Governor's Mansion in the afternoon, and he and the little old man went down to the back garden to eat and drink for an afternoon, and Xu Daotai here is also accompanied, and the little old man sent someone to urge him a few times!" ”

Doge's Palace...... Lu Hong was also stunned when he heard this, this Tianjin Wei's Governor's Mansion is naturally the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili, when will the current Governor of Zhili Li Hongzhang make friends with Qingliu, these two sides have never looked at each other, most of the people who came to visit Huang Tifang here are Qingliu, the old conservative party or officials who do not rely on the two, you see that the Pingyuan ship is Li He, polite is polite, but there has been no serious visit on the ship for two days!
