After Lu Hong said his intentions, Kuang Qizhao's reaction was already in his expectation, the current situation of "Yiwen Report", he had already learned through Zheng Xiongrong, the head of the concession police, that this newspaper only has a circulation of a few hundred copies, which can be said to be getting worse and worse, that is, a situation of lingering, and there are too many uncertainties if you want to survive.

This is naturally his intention to take the initiative to come to the door, but his familiarity with this origin is naturally another reason, after all, Lu Hong is not prepared to let his possible investment go down the drain...... And now, what he has to do is obviously wait quietly! Thinking of this, he didn't hurry up and stood up, and casually looked at a pair of calligraphy and paintings in this studio - the two big characters "Tian surname" in the book, which made him quite interesting.

After pondering for a while, there was no result, and Kuang Qizhao behind him and his partner Zheng Tongan had discussed it properly, he got up and gave a salute first, and then said gratefully: "Lord Lu, this is a major matter related to the country, and I will definitely go there in person, and I will never live up to your expectations...... However, I still have one more thing, and I want to ask you Haihan! ”

"Oh......" This answer made Lu Hong a little surprised, what else did Kuang Qizhao want to explain in advance, he pondered for a moment, but spoke first: "Brother Rongjie, if you are worried about the funds of this newspaper, I can invest 5,000 taels of silver as a temporary operating cost, but I hope you continue to serve as the editor-in-chief!" ”

Kuang Qizhao was a little surprised by Lu Hong's generosity, 5,000 amounts of silver, even if it is currently in deficit, it is enough to operate for more than a year, not to mention, if the news from North Korea is sent back, I dare not say that "Yiwen Bao" can come back to life, but it has an absolute chance to become a first-class newspaper in Shanghai......

However, there are some things that he still has to make clear, and he immediately said with a serious face: "Lord Lu, if you invest money, it is naturally considered a shareholding, but let me state one thing first, and you and Lord Qincha Wang should not interfere with the content of the "Yiwen Report" in the future...... Unless...... Unless you have a good reason! ”

These words were beyond Lu Hong's expectations, but I didn't expect this media person, who is really completely different from this era, to pursue the spirit of news reading so much...... Lu Hong smiled slightly in his stomach, anyway, he has no intention of controlling the media at present, and this position in the newspaper industry is obviously more conducive to his future public opinion offensive...... He immediately nodded without hesitation.

In the early morning of June 22, Wang Renkan, the minister of the Qincha, summoned the officers of the Nanyang Naval Division, the Guangdong Naval Division, and the Fujian Naval Division, and issued his first order after assembling the Shanghai maritime defense force, and Wu Ankang, the acting commander of the Nanyang Naval Division, was responsible for the defense of the Dagu Fort and the Yangtze River estuary, and strengthened the training of the naval divisions.

In view of the complicated situation in Korea, Wang Renkan read out a secret order from the Military Discipline Department, ordering Lu Hong to take full responsibility for escorting the supplies of the reward army from Shanghai to Asan and to inquire about his movements.

Wang Renkan did not think of going to Korea to investigate the enemy's situation in person, such a heroic feat is really the most beautiful dream of a scholar to play and sing, but in the secret order from the Yanjing Military Aircraft Department, Weng Tonggong said earnestly to the champion Lang, whom he values very much, that he must take this opportunity to firmly grasp this sea power second only to the Beiyang Naval Division.

Lu Hong was originally quite puzzled by this order, could it be that this emperor, college student, and pavilion elder began to pay attention to the navy, you know, this big man has always criticized the navy that spends a lot of money and burns a lot of silver every year, and even does not hesitate to slap the table with Li Hongzhang because of this...... However, after thinking of a series of military deployments against Beiyang in later history, he roughly understood something...... Lao Weng This is not aimed at the navy, it definitely means against the Beiyang and Huai army.

Let Wang Renkan, who is now in an important position, continue to supervise the naval division and control the main force of other naval divisions except Beiyang, which obviously has another effect, that is, to prevent other naval divisions from providing military assistance to Beiyang naval divisions in wartime...... At least, in the eyes of this Weng Ge elder, Li Hongzhang's boastful and invincible Beiyang Naval Division in Asia is obviously enough to deal with Xiao Yueben, as for letting Beiyang suffer a little loss, that is exactly what he meant!

However, Lu Hong can only bury this conjecture deep in his heart, and now his official position that has just entered the stream, compared to those bigwigs in the court, is definitely just a sesame green valley, and he can't find it comfortable blindly, which is really a stupid behavior...... What do you want to do, Zhuangyuanlang is the best signboard, and Wang Renkan's idea is obviously not the same as Weng Tongxiao!

At noon on the 22nd, in the Nanyang Navy Division barracks outside the 16th Shop, Lu Hong changed into a simple sailor Wuyun suit, followed by Lin Jianzhang, Qi Fengyi and the temporary pro-soldier Chen Huan, as well as a group of sailor officers, and under the hot sun, 430 officers and soldiers of the Nanyang Navy Division lined up in a neat line to look at Lu Hong, who was walking slowly all the way.

After more than two months of military discipline training, Lin Jianzhang and Qi Fengyi showed good military ability, at least, this queue training and military discipline and military regulations are really good, at this moment, more than 400 people are standing quietly in the venue, completely without the slightly lazy appearance of other officers and soldiers of the sailors......

This immediately made Wu Ankang open his mouth wide, these soldiers, he naturally knew, except for some of them that were cut by himself before, the others were brought over by Lin Jianzhang and Qi Fengyi, most of them were thorns in the sailors, but now, how can there be the slightest thorn.

And what Lu Hong did next surprised him again, the first staff member of the minister, the most important think tank and specific implementer, today wearing the five-cloud suit of this water master, with a winning expression standing on a stand built in front of everyone, and the first sentence that this five-grade civil servant said turned out to be......

"Brothers, do you know why I'm all dwarfs?"

This question directly stopped the more than 400 people below and the pipe belt behind them, and naturally no one could answer it, and this Qincha staff member and dignified five-rank promotion master said slowly: "Actually, the ancestor of Xiao Yueben is the tiger hero Wu Song...... 's elder brother Wu Dalang, if it weren't for the height of Wu Dalang, otherwise he would be a little man who could raise this island...... Xiao Yueben's big cake banner is not Wu Dalang's cooking cake...... Xiao Yue Ben also likes to boast about the bullshit bushido, isn't that the crop style brought by Wu Dalang, in fact, the name was Wu Shidao earlier......"

Lu Hong hasn't finished talking yet...... The soldiers below and the officers behind them were already grinning their stomachs one by one, and they were almost grinning...... And Lu Hong talked in a serious manner, and after a slight pause, the conversation changed, "Brothers, 12 years ago, Xiao Yue was thinking about tossing in North Korea, but at that time, I was deflated, let's go to North Korea this time, and then see what the dwarfs want to do!" Is there confidence? ”

"Yes!" An earth-shattering roar suddenly resounded throughout the school field.

Hearing this, Lu Hong waved his hand, and the large team of more than 400 people immediately turned around and lined up to go outside the barracks......

Chinese boys, Chinese boys, you have to hold up the sky with one hand,

Sleeping lion for a thousand years, sleeping lion for a thousand years, a husband raises his arms and ten thousand husbands,

The Yangtze River, the east of Asia, the Kunlun of E, the Great Wall of Wings,

The country of abundance, take more macros, the Yellow Emperor's gods,

Wind and tigers, clouds and dragons, all countries come together, and the pride of the sky is my ......

……

After 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the core fleet of the Nanyang Naval Division, composed of three ships, Nan Rui, Nan Chen, and Jingqing, escorted the British cargo ships Tamil and Miss Lisa, who were guarding the concession, slowly left the port! (To be continued.) )
