When he returned to the official residence, Wang Renkan was discussing matters with Yi Shunding. When he saw Lu Hong coming, he called him to his side with a heavy expression and whispered, "Prison Lu Yun, there is a telegram from the capital. This time, the Navy and Lu's two routes of inspections have achieved remarkable results. The emperor particularly praised it. I have already agreed to Mr. Weng Ge's previous advice on your affairs in the Censorate!"

Isn't this a good thing... Lu Hong was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that he would be promoted to half a level so quickly. However, why did Wang Renkan do a bitter face? He hurriedly bowed, "Thank you for your kindness... Feng Hesheng said 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 it has caused trouble again!"

Lu Hong was also stunned when he heard this. He had actually dealt with a troublesome thing in North Korea before the Sino-Japanese War. At least Jin Yujun was assassinated. At present, the Japanese have not found an excuse to attack. However, the idiot who assassinated Park Yong-hyo in Tokyo was a big trouble... Could it be this?

When I received the telegram and saw that the development of the matter was somewhat beyond his expectations. The telegram was sent by Huang Tifang, but the content was exactly the same as what I expected at the time. The rule of the Korean royal family was extremely corrupt, and the continuous power struggles at the top of the top led to the loss of control of the lower-level bureaucratic management. Zhongqingdao triggered a major riot in the Dongxue Party because of his resistance to donations!

This is almost the same as the history I know. It seems that I remember that the civil unrest in North Korea was Jeolla Do at first. I didn’t expect that there would be a little change here. However, the two places are not far apart, so the result is still the same... Once the riot escalates, China will intervene in quell the rebellion, and the Japanese military that is ready to move will immediately take action!

Another thing was mentioned in the telegram. Ten days ago, the Japanese government completely ignored international practices and sent troops to search the North Korean Embassy in Japan. Although nothing was found, it ordered the expulsion of the North Korean Consul in Japan and completely sealed the North Korean Consulate... This is a completely turning against each other!

Seeing Lu Hong silent after reading the telegram, Yi Shunding next to him said first, "Mr. Wang, I think the North Korean rebellion will inevitably trigger Sino-Japanese dispute... If so, we should report to the court as soon as possible to strengthen coastal defense!"

Wang Renkan looked at Liu Kunyi's capable aide and said with a serious expression: "Mr. Yi, Weng Ge has made arrangements for this matter. What the Military Affairs Office is worried about is not the emperor's determination. I am afraid that this battle can be handled, and the Military Affairs Office cannot grasp it... Lu Hong, I am considering going back to Tianjin tomorrow to visit Lord Li Zhongtang. Do you have any suggestions to Zhongtang?"

Lu Hong also saw that Wang Renkan was obviously worried at this time. If everything happened, without him, the time travelers, perhaps the Qingliu generals who were in it did not realize that the war was imminent, and the false evidence he had made and listed played an important reminder role. The evidence that he had proven further strengthened his inference. Otherwise, Wang Dazhangyuan would not have rushed to run back to Tianjin Wei!

He thought about it and said a few points that he had said, but it was far less useful than the Qin Envoy Wang. Naturally, he needed to tell Li Hongzhang through Wang Renkan's mouth, "Sir, I have 4 suggestions. I think it is a big thing that I have to do right now!"

Speaking of this, he turned his head and looked at Wang Renkan and Yi Shunding. Wang Renkan was obviously very concerned about his words. On the contrary, Yi Shunding's expression was quite interesting. "First, we must check the military equipment. The repair of warships is urgent. Whether the shells can be used should be carefully verified. Second, we should be very cautious when military intervention in North Korea. The Japanese will never give up any opportunity in the Sino-Japanese Tianjin agreement. Third, the mainland division should be prepared early. Fourth, Russia is not a good person, so we should be more vigilant!"

Yi Shunding's expression had already put aside his contempt when he heard Lu Hong's next few words. Lu Hong was able to put forward four very important suggestions at this moment. This was obviously something that could only be achieved by a deep understanding of the current situation... In fact, this matter was naturally closely related to Liu Kunyi. Once China and Japan fought, the Nanyang Navy would shoulder the important task of defending ports in Shanghai, Jiangsu and other places. In fact, it would be difficult for the Nanyang Navy to do these things. If the imperial court had not continuously expanded the coastal defense and strengthened the fort in the past decade, the Nanyang Navy's ships would not have been able to defend such a long coastline!

After hearing this, Wang Renkan nodded quite satisfied. He was not good at military strategy, and his emphasis on Lu Hong naturally attracted Lu Hong to have good opinions on all aspects. He used Lu Hong's talents to do his best to delegate power. Lu Hong's performance obviously satisfied him and fully utilized his talents. These four opinions are indeed very in place.

He nodded thoughtfully, "Very good, Lu Yun, you will work hard to write a note to me in the evening... I will take Tan Xianpin and go there first. Here we will deal with Lord Yi in the military affairs. You and Yan Youling will have much trouble, and do it as soon as possible!"

Lu Hong nodded and said goodbye immediately. The future development of things has reached a critical moment. 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... This made him very excited.

When drafting this copy, you naturally have to look for Qin Tianmin. The problem of this trick is undoubtedly Lu Hong’s biggest shortcoming. It is hundreds of times more difficult to write this eight-legged parallel prose than to let him invent an advanced machine. Fortunately, Qin Tianmin is very interested in doing this. These are definitely important documents that can reach the center directly!

The next morning, Wang Renkan hurriedly boarded the British ship at the Bund Pier. The two escort warships that were originally prepared for him are now hanging on the board, and they are obviously not used. However, Lu Hongke had no intention of giving up the temporary command. As soon as his boss left, he immediately rushed to the torpedo factory to meet the engineer Cheng Daqi.

As soon as he met, he asked with great concern: "Lao Cheng, you asked someone to bring a letter saying that the machine parts have been processed. I don't know the size, so the accuracy is certain!"

Speaking of the machine parts, Cheng Daqi immediately became excited, and the slim skin on his face also looked particularly shiny. He led Lu Hong to the two German milling machines west, and a bunch of fragments were visiting the parts racks neatly, while another worker Liu Yiding was taking four or five apprentices with files to repair the final product.

"Mr. Lu, I will bring these apprentices. If there is enough steel and iron, one set of parts a day will be fine, and the size will be absolutely fine!" He pointed to a bunch of parts and said confidently.
Chapter completed!
