Back at the official residence, Wang Renkan was discussing with Yi Shunding, and when he saw Lu Hong coming, he beckoned him to his side with a somewhat heavy face, and said in a low voice, "Lu Yunju, there is a telegram from the Beijing Division, this time the Navy Division and the Lu Division have achieved remarkable results in both inspections, and the emperor has specially commended me, and I have already approved the matter of your Metropolitan Procuratorate to the old man of Weng Ge before!" ”

Isn't that a good thing...... Lu Hong was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that he would be promoted by half a level so quickly, but what was this Wang Renkan doing with a bitter gourd face, he was busy with his hand, "Thank you, Lord for your love...... Feng Hesheng said that something big happened, but he didn't know what it was? ”

Wang Renkan pointed to the telegram on the table, frowned and said, "Lu Hong, look at the telegram, the North Korean royal family is really as stupid as you expected, and there is trouble again!" ”

Lu Hong was also stunned when he heard this, he had actually dealt with the troublesome matter in North Korea before the first day of the first day, at least Jin Yujun was assassinated, and at present, he said that he had not found an excuse to make trouble, but the idiot stick who assassinated Park Yongxiao in Tokyo was a big trouble...... Could it be this?

When he took the telegram and looked at it, the development of things was somewhat unexpected by him, the telegram was sent by Huang Tifang, but the content was the same as he expected, the rule of the Korean royal family can be described as [***] extreme, and the continuous power struggles at the top level led to the loss of control of the lower bureaucratic management, and Chungcheong-do caused a big riot of the Donghak Party because of the resistance to donations!

This is almost the same as the history I knew, and I seem to remember that the civil unrest in Korea was originally Jeolla Province, but I didn't expect a little change here, but the two places are not far apart, and the result is still the same...... Once the riots escalate and China sends troops to intervene to quell the turmoil, the military will immediately take action!

The telegram also mentioned another incident: 10 days ago, in complete disregard of international practice, he sent troops to search the DPRK embassy in the DPRK...... It's a completely face-turning rhythm!

Seeing that Lu Hong was silent after reading the telegram, Yi Shunding next to him spoke first, "Lord Wang, I also think that the rebellion in Korea will inevitably lead to a dispute between China and China...... If this is the case, report to the imperial court as soon as possible and strengthen coastal defense! ”

Wang Renkan looked at Liu Kunyi's right-hand man, and said with a serious expression: "Lord Yi, this matter has been arranged by Weng Ge for a long time, and what the Military Aircraft Department is worried about is not the emperor's determination...... Lu Hong, I am thinking that I will return to Tianjin tomorrow to meet Master Li Zhongtang, do you have any suggestions for Zhongtang? ”

Lu Hong also saw that Wang Renkan was obviously preoccupied at this time, every thing happened, if he hadn't been encouraged, maybe these Qingliu cadres who were among them did not realize that the war was imminent, and the fake evidence they had fabricated and listed played an important role in reminding him, and the events that should be proved further strengthened his inference, otherwise, Wang Dazhuangyuan would not be in a hurry to run back to Tianjin Wei!

He thought about it, and said a few points himself, but they were far less useful than this Wang Qincha's words, so he naturally needed to tell Li Hongzhang through Wang Renkan's mouth, "My lord, I have 4 suggestions, and I think it is a big thing that I have to do immediately!" ”

Speaking of this, he looked sideways at Wang Renkan and Yi Shunding, Wang Renkan obviously cared very much about his words, but Yi Shunding's expression was quite intriguing, "First, we must inspect the armament, the repair of the battleship cannot be delayed, whether the shells can be used, should be carefully verified, the second is that the military intervention in Korea should be very cautious, the covenant of Tianjin, I will never give up any opportunity, the third is that the transfer of the land division should be prepared as soon as possible, and the fourth is that Russia is by no means a good type, and we should be more vigilant!" ”

Yi Shunding's expression had already put away his contempt when he heard Lu Hong's next few words, Lu Hong was able to put forward 4 really important suggestions at this time, which is obviously something that can only be done with a deep grasp of the current situation...... In fact, this matter is naturally very related to Liu Kunyi, once the war is in China, the Nanyang Naval Division shoulders the heavy responsibility of defending the ports of Shanghai, Jiangsu and other places, in fact, the strength of the Nanyang Naval Division to do these is really difficult, if it were not for the continuous expansion of coastal defense and reinforcement of forts in the past ten years, the ships of the Nanyang Naval Division would not be able to defend such a long coastline!

Wang Renkan listened to it, and nodded with satisfaction, he is not good at military strategy, and his reuse of Lu Hong, naturally he also likes Lu Hong to have good opinions in all aspects, for Lu Hong's talent is to make the best use of things, try his best to delegate power, and Lu Hong's performance obviously makes him satisfied, give full play to his talents, and these 4 opinions are indeed very in place,

He nodded thoughtfully, "Very good, Lu Yunju, you will work hard at night and prepare a note for me...... I'll take Tan Xianpin to go first, here and Lord Yi to rectify the military affairs, you and Yan Youling have bothered a lot, do it as soon as possible! ”

Lu Hong nodded in response, and immediately left, the future development of things has reached a critical moment, and now his position obviously does not have any power to affect the current situation, but at least he has enough power to influence some important people...... It made him very excited.

The matter of drafting this copy, naturally to find Qin Tianmin's goods, the problem of this pole is undoubtedly Lu Hong's biggest shortcoming, let him go through the crowd to write these eight strands of prose, it is a hundred times more difficult than asking him to invent an advanced machine, fortunately, Qin Tianmin is very interested in doing this, these are definitely important documents that can go directly to the center!

Early the next morning, Wang Renkan hurriedly boarded the British steamer at the Bund wharf, and the two escort warships originally prepared for him were now drying on the slipway, obviously not needed, but Lu Hongke did not give up the temporary command at all, and as soon as his boss left, he immediately rushed to the torpedo factory to meet the engineer Cheng Daqi.

As soon as they met, he asked with great concern: "Lao Cheng, you asked people to bring a letter, saying that the machine parts have been processed, and I don't know if the size and accuracy can be assured!" ”

Speaking of this machine part, Cheng Daqi immediately became excited, and the numb skin on his face was also extremely shiny, and he led Lu Hong to the two German milling machines in the west, where a bunch of bits and pieces of parts were neatly visited on the parts rack one by one, while another engineer, Liu Yiding, was taking four or five apprentices to repair the final product with a file.

"Lord Lu, I take these apprentices, if the steel and iron materials are sufficient, there will be one set of parts a day, and there will be no problem with the size!" He pointed to a pile of parts and said confidently.

Lu Hong sighed, half of the parts of this silk reeling machine are wooden tables, and there are no high precision requirements, and the iron parts handed over to Cheng Daqi are the most important components, four or five workers can have one set a day, which is definitely not a low production efficiency, he immediately pulled this guy aside, and threw out a big sleeve with a smile!
