Chapter 28: The first time to board the Pingyuan ship

Wu Daxuan's words immediately made the eyes of several people in the room fall on Lu Hong, which made Lu Hong immediately understand what it means to be cocooned and self-bound, and talk about the history that can be known everywhere in later generations, that is, to remind the little old man Huang Tifang, you will not mention it to your big boss Weng Tongxiao or Li Hongzao in an informal situation, why do you want to take this kind of folded path......

Unexpectedly, as soon as he thought of this, Huang Tifang seemed to know his thoughts, and had already spoken: "Lu Hong, I look at your words and deeds, and I also know that these news are true, even if I put on my black yarn, it will expose the wolf ambitions of the Japanese kingdom to the open, and personal gains and losses are insignificant...... If we can make the Japanese country take a step back and save the people from fire and water, this is not the way of our generation! ”

I have to say that the little old man's demeanor and words are all out of public heart, and his eyebrows twitched, but he showed a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude, that is, Wu Shengxi on the side was also angry at this time, got up and looked at Lu Hong, and his expression was that he was ready to drag Lu Hong into the capital......

In this case, Lu Hong just secretly complained, it seems that his understanding of these Qingliu cadres is too superficial, these guys are more angry than the Qing Niu x in later generations, they are definitely some characters who don't want to die when they pick up the reason, and they are considered to be on the thief ship...... If you want to get off the thief ship at this time, it will be troublesome!

Isn't it just a trip to Yanjing City, it's still difficult to get yourself this traversal...... Thinking of this, he didn't shirk anymore, arched his hand and said: "Huang Gong is worried about the country and the people, and he will definitely follow ......."

After Lu Hong said this, he immediately saw that Huang Tifang and the Wu family's uncles and nephews were all smiling, and they really had special treatment when they got on the thief ship, but the little girl standing behind Huang Tifang didn't know where to run all of a sudden.

When Lu Hong returned to the inn and talked to Qin Tianmin about the matter, this guy's head was like a rattle, "Engong, I think you are too hasty in this matter...... You and I have no official position or position, and we can worry about this national event, and besides, a figure like Weng Tong and Lord Weng has stood in the officialdom for decades, how can it be easily convincing? ”

Lu Hong frowned and listened to Qin Tianmin's advice, the Weng Tongyi he knew was far more detailed and rich than this Qin Tianmin, of course, most of the characters in the historical materials are difficult to restore the historical truth, but it should not be groundless, however, he is just a pawn this time, Huang Tifang is the main general, just be cautious.

He nodded thoughtfully, "Brother Qin, Lord Huang's side may be an opportunity, I have thought about it, if there is no risk, how can it be easy to get a return, however, I have to make some preparations, as you said, it is not easy to convince this to be Lord Weng!" ”

The two poured tea, and carefully analyzed and discussed, Qin Tianmin explained to Lu Hong the rules of officialdom, that Yanjing Tianzi was at the feet, it was impossible to say that it was because of some rules, and Lu Hong also directly asked about some things about donating officials, Qin Tianmin was not surprised, as if he had expected it, but after thinking about it carefully, he also figured out that it is not uncommon for people to study in Taixi and the United States in this era, but once he returns to China, he wants to embark on a career in official life, unless he joins the army, there is only one way to donate officialsThat night, after thinking about it carefully, Lu Hong finally came up with a foolproof plan......

Early in the morning of the second day, Wu Shengxi came to tell Lu Hong that Huang Tifang had decided to set off tomorrow and let himself prepare early, and he also set off with him, just in time to enter Beijing to take the exam.

Lu Hong thought about it for a while, personally ran to Huaguo Village, arranged the affairs of the Mengshan mine, all the original mines were temporarily taken care of by Wang Daosheng, Qi Kaiyuan, Chen Shuisheng, and the three of them, waiting for their telegram to make arrangements, and after returning to Mengyin, his own house was managed by the loyal servant Lao Qin, and he was temporarily used as a housekeeper, after all, there was still a big house of people, and at the same time, Lao Qin recruited a gentleman, first taught this batch of little dolls literacy in the house, and cultivated talents from the dolls!

After everything was arranged, on March 11, Huang Tifang, Lu Hong, Wu Shengxi, and Qin Tianmin took a small steamboat of Qian Yiduo's family down the Wenshui River, and arrived in Haizhou on the 13th.

And Huang Tifang was not idle when he arrived here, he walked around with a famous thorn, and soon attracted many admiring officials on the side of the yamen, obviously these are supporters of the Qingliu faction...... Obviously, the Huang Daren who had just been promoted to the Supervision Yuan was quite famous, and a little later, Haizhou Governor Bao Hongfu contacted the ship going to Tianjin, and Huang Tifang, who got the news, immediately terminated the temporary officialdom and hurried to the dock with Lu Hong and others.

However, the ship that the prefect Bao Hongfu gave contact with here obviously surprised everyone, it turned out to be a battleship with a good style, and Lu Hong saw the dragon flag flying high at the stern at a glance, the black hull, yellow chimney and the Victorian paint style of the hair dryer, which made people look really pleasing to the eye, and standing in front of this battleship that was one of the "eight far" in history, Lu Hong also had a sense of heroism.

"Huang Gong, it just so happened that the Beiyang Pingyuan ship was replenishing coal in Haizhou, and I had an old relationship with Dusi Li He, so I dared to ask him to take you for a ride!" A middle-aged military attache with thick eyebrows and a beard on the battleship greeted him, and Bao Hongfu, the prefect of Haizhou, made a recommendation with a smile.

Huang Tifang and Li Hongzhang did not fight with a pen, however, like the Pingyuan pipe belt Li He with the rank of Sipindu, obviously did not have any conflict of interest at all, and boarded the battleship after greeting with a smile, in this era, the noble and martial arts are still the law of officialdom, Huang Tifang is a third-grade Beijing official, more than a few grades higher than the Beiyang Dusi of the fourth-grade, and the little old man obviously has no common language with these naval officers, but after a while, he took his entourage to your cabin to rest.

However, it was the first time that Lu Hong boarded the Beiyang battleship that was about to participate in the First Sino-Japanese Sea Battle, and he was quite excited in his heart, and after getting on the ship, he stood on the verandah and looked around, which was the only armored cruiser built by China in the "Eight Great Distances" in the Beiyang Ocean, and it was also the latest to be launched among the main ships of the Beiyang Naval Division.

However, it is obvious that this armored ship with a displacement of only 2100 tons is included in the main force of the Beiyang somewhat elevated status, in fact, this battleship more reflects the immature design concept of the Chinese Navy in this era, that is, it attaches importance to cannons and large calibers, and the 260mm, 35 times diameter Krupp main gun in front of the bridge is obviously the core of the entire battleship's armament, and the two ear batteries behind the side extend out of the side chord, respectively, equipped with two 150mm, 35 times the diameter of the gun.

The hull is also equipped with some small-caliber guns on the foredeck, aft deck, and waist, which should be the most favorite series of Haqikaisi machine guns of the Beiyang Naval Division...... When Lu Hong's eyes turned to the only yellow chimney in the center of the hull, he couldn't help but shake his head, this Pingyuan is indeed a good firepower platform, but now after 7 years of launching, it is really difficult to take on the heavy responsibility of a cruiser!
