Yan Fu can be said to be going all out for this case, and now he is holding the banner of Qincha Wang Renkan, and he is naturally unimpeded in the Lushun Military Port, and in the investigation and handling of the Northern Bullet Depot case, he is even more resolute...... However, when I arrived at the Arthur Port Sailor Battalion, I hit a nail.

The officers and soldiers stationed there ignored Yan Fu's orders this time, and it was Luo Fenglu, his classmate of the Fujian Shipbuilding Academy and now the general office of the Beiyang Naval Division's Battalion Office, who came out to resist Yan Fu.

Luo Fenglu politely told Yan Fu that if he wanted to enter the sailor camp to investigate, he must get the general order of Ding Ruchang, the commander of the Beiyang Navy, Yan Fu pulled Wang Renkan's tiger skin banner, but was rejected by Luo Fenglu, and waited for Yan Fu to turn back angrily, and then Wang Renkan came forward to visit Ding Ruchang, but was told that Hou Delun, the battalion manager, had gone to sea with the training ship to the south to buy military supplies a few days earlier, and there was no way to contact him at present!

Yan Fu is naturally a smart person, how could he not understand the cattiness, this case has obviously entered the danger zone when it is found here, if it can't be solved quickly, and solve the key person like the case of the Shanghai Nanyang Naval Division, then it is obviously a big trouble waiting for him!

He immediately contacted some of his contacts in the Beiyang Naval Division, and Lin Luzhong, the commander of the Yangwei Ship, who had a good relationship with him that day, secretly visited him, just to tell him a piece of news...... There have been some rumors about Yan Fu among the sailors, saying that he deliberately made enemies of Beiyang, and did not hesitate to frame and blame his colleagues in Beiyang, and someone wanted to deal with him!

Yan Fu was naturally angry about this, but with his current strength, there was nothing he could do, and what happened next made Yan Fu even more tired......

The next day, Ding Ruchang took Luo Fenglu to the Qincha Mansion to pay a visit, and Luo Fenglu sued on the spot, saying that Yan Fu tortured the small officials of the water division camp to extract confessions, and tortured them into tricks, which made Wang Renkan quite embarrassed, after all, Lao Ding is Li Hongzhang's henchman, it is this Luo Fenglu, and now he is also an important staff member of the Huai Department who can speak in front of Li Hongzhang, although he is a Qincha, it is impossible not to take care of Li Hongzhang's face!

However, he naturally didn't believe what Luo Fenglu said, he also personally inspected this case before and after, and Yan Fu explained in detail the suspicious points in the entire case, and he had also personally seen the chaotic management of ammunition, ordnance, and military resources in the North Bullet Depot, and what he saw was shocking.

Therefore, he immediately denied what Luo Fenglu said very seriously, and immediately sent people to the official prison where several criminals were imprisoned to ask people for questioning, and the result was ...... But there was a scene that surprised Wang Renkan, and several officials said in unison that they were tortured by Yan Fu, and then they were beaten into tricks, and even showed the scars on their bodies!

Things have become like this, and they have completely deviated from the direction that Wang Renkan can grasp, and Yan Fu, who is still busy looking for contacts and clues outside, was even more stunned when he returned to the Qincha Mansion and heard the news, he sent his own people to take care of the prison cell where the little officials were held, but the current situation is obviously no longer helpless, and those little officials have to let Ding Ruchang take it back first.

After listening to Yan Fu's retelling, Lu Hong was also very surprised, the Beiyang Navy Division has been in the army for a long time, and the shortcomings exposed in it, as a descendant, he naturally heard a lot, but the real historical facts, I am afraid that he has to carefully investigate them himself...... Soon, after he visited Wang Renkan, the boss was also very troubled by the military discipline in the Beiyang Naval Division!

After the three of them discussed, Lu Hong put forward his point of view, "My lord, the current situation is exactly what the Beiyang Navy Master should use, so what we have to do is to eliminate those scum in the army who affect the morale of the Navy Master, but in terms of action, we must not be in a hurry!" ”

Yan Fu rolled his eyes when he heard this, he naturally knew that what Lu Hong said was too hasty, that was him, but in this matter, he really didn't expect the other party's counterattack to be so quick and thorough, and now he was also counting on Lu Hong to help win back a game, so he immediately asked: "Lu Dushi, I can guarantee with my surname, that Hou Delun is definitely a big problem!" ”

Wang Renkan is a little dissatisfied with Yan Fu's dead heart, if it weren't for this guy's disadvantage, maybe he would be able to catch the big fish in the case of the North Bullet Depot...... He looked at Lu Hong, he was still very satisfied with this right-hand man, and after coming back today, Lu Hong brought him a gift of 10% equity in the machine factory!

In this era, this can not be regarded as bribery, Wang Renkan gave Lu Hong the opportunity to play, and similarly, as a subordinate, Lu Hong naturally wanted to repay the favor, this is the most standard and standardized exchange of etiquette between superiors and subordinates in the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, even if Wang Renkan was born in the Qing Dynasty, when his family sent a tribute, he would accept it calmly...... And this naturally represents a closer relationship between him and Lu Hong!

After finding a reason for Yan Fu to go out to do something, he immediately asked Lu Hong's plan, "Lu Dushi, before coming to Lushun this time, I was entrusted by Weng Ge Lao to visit Li Hefei again, the emperor and Weng Ge Lao's meaning, hoping that he can echo the emperor's meaning in the dispute between China and China, and be tough on it...... However, in my opinion, Li Hefei obviously has no intention of taking the initiative to seek war, but he is obsessed with using the hands of foreigners to contain the book! ”

Wang Renkan's analysis of Li Hongzhang's current attitude toward handling the Korean issue can be said to be completely in place; in fact, this is actually a strange atmosphere up and down the Beiyang Naval Division; although the external situation is very grim, there is no consciousness or sense of crisis in the entire Lushun Military Port that war is about to break out.

And Lu Hong knew that it was precisely because of this negative attitude towards the war, coupled with the lack of understanding of the outbreak of the war at the top of the Beiyang leadership, that it would lead to the situation in later history that when it came to wartime, there was a situation where the artillery shells were not prepared and went to sea in a hurry...... Now, now that I have come to this era, it is clear that something should be done about it!

And now a key figure in the whole incident is obviously Luo Fenglu, the general manager of the Beiyang Navy Division, Lu Hong learned that in history, he obviously knew a lot of information that is not known to others today, for this graduate of the Fujian Shipbuilding School and the second batch of Fujianese who studied in the UK.

However, this important role played by Luo Fenglu in the Beiyang, he has this absolutely sober understanding, and even at the critical moment when Li Hongzhang was considering the dispute behind closed doors and closing the door to thank guests, Luo Fenglu was able to visit him, so that his views on the war would affect this Lord Li Zhongtang...... This person is not easy to deal with!
