Chapter 83 Yan Fu's Trouble

That night, Lu Hong stayed at Xue Fucheng's mansion with all his heart. When he heard the news, Huang Zuluo rushed over overnight. After confirming the news from Xue Yiyun, he hurriedly left. Later, he sent a minor official to send supplements such as Laoshan ginseng and Cordyceps. After dawn, Lu Hong and Chen Lianfang went in with him and checked Xue Fucheng, who had been sleeping for a night, and confirmed that Lao Xue's condition had improved greatly.

Chen Lianfang immediately found an opportunity to play, prescribed a decoction for warm and cold, and carefully conditioned Xue Fucheng. Lu Hong began to become a manager of the hands. He was really powerless to do anything about the follow-up, so he pretended to be a master and said goodbye first!

When they returned to the official residence, Qin Tianmin and his eyes looked at Lu Hong were a little wrong. Last night, they were at Xue Fucheng's mansion, and they heard too many bizarre stories. Lu Dushi was obviously the protagonist of the story, but this was obviously too unexpected.

Lu Hong was too lazy to care about them. The effect was originally the reason for taking them to Xue Fucheng's mansion. Sure enough, after coming back, these people were obviously very concerned about their affairs, and he had to think carefully about another important thing for the time being... In the evening, Lu Hong came to Xue's mansion again, and Xue Yiyun ran out to greet him with a grateful look on his face.

"Mr. Lu, my father's condition has improved greatly. I have already drunk some porridge before. Chen Lianfang prescribed a few doses of decoctions. It may take some days to condition it... Thanks to your wonderful moves to rejuvenate!"

Lu Hong laughed and said a few polite words, which explained today's purpose. "Young Master Xue, you will be able to take care of your health. Doctor Chen will handle it... I have a letter here. If you can take the matter, please pass it on... I will rush to Lushun tomorrow, and I am afraid I will not be able to come back in the short term. I also ask your master to tell you that the state affairs may be far from satisfactory, and you still need to plan more for the country!"

Xue Yiyun originally expected Lu Hong to treat Xue Fucheng, but the amazing methods he showed had already convinced him, but after hearing that Chen Lianfang would be treated, he would naturally not have any other ideas. He hurriedly responded to Lu Hong's request. The two chatted for a while before they broke up.

The next morning, Lu Hong had already boarded the cruiser "Jingqing" specially allocated by Wu Ankang. As the main destroyer of the Nanyang Navy, this iron-strangered wooden shell warship belongs to the Kaiji class and is built by the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Administration. It is a relatively primitive fire tube boiler and the steam engine is made by the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Administration. However, seven or eight years after it was launched, it is thankful that this destroyer, which originally had a speed of 14.5, can now run for 13 knots.

However, the military equipment of the Jingqing ship still left a very deep impression on Lu Hong. The three 190mm main guns were quite powerful. There were 7 120mm secondary guns in the side string and ear turrets, which were quite powerful after careful calculation.

Along the way, Lu Hong was interested in chatting with Zhang Qiguang, the manager of the Jingqing Ship, and suddenly realized that the origin of the white-haired old man really surprised Lu Hong. He was actually a commander who was from an old member of the Hunan Army and the commander of the Sino-French battle in Zhenhai. Because of the battle of Zhenhai, he also repelled the French warships in the battle of Zhenhai. This man was awarded the title of "Zhentubatulu" by the Qing government.

Although Lu Hong was quite surprised by this great military achievements, the stubbornness of the white-haired old man also made Lu Hong deeply understand and talked with him about some naval tactics. The old man ignored it at all, and the mental state of the sailors on the ship was quite embarrassing.

Driving with the flow, when the Laotieshan Lighthouse outside Lushun Port appeared in sight, it was already on the 3rd of May 2008. The flying dragon flag allowed the Jingqing ship to enter the port without any obstacles. However, what disappointed Lu Hong was that there were only a dozen torpedo boats in the port, and none of the Beiyang Navy warships were expected to be included.

When he got ashore, he soon saw Yan Fu, who looked tired. Seeing Lu Hong's arrival, this person showed unexpected enthusiasm, "Lu Dushi, you are here. Lord Wang has asked about it every day these days!"

"Brother Youling, what happened here?" Yan Fu's strange performance made Lu Hong curious. He immediately asked after him. This question asked a lot of things.

After Wang Renkan went to Tianjin Guard to meet Li Hongzhang, he rushed to Lushun with Li's order to inspect military discipline. The Beiyang Navy was not only the navy in Lushun Port, but also a group of Huai troops stationed in Huai Army affiliated with the navy. Their mission was naturally to ensure the security and defense of Lushun Port. However, soon, Wang Renkan discovered a big problem here.

Earlier, the Admiral of the Beiyang Navy, Ding Ruchang, was indeed at Lushun Port. Five days ago, all the Beiyang Navy fleets left the port for cruise training, so the port here seemed empty. When Wang Renkan came, Ding Ruchang had found Wang Renkan, the Admiral of the Navy, a first-rank military official, and the issues mentioned were indeed very serious.

Then, Wang Renkan began to inspect the dock supply warehouse of the Beiyang Fleet based on the issues mentioned by Ding Ruchang. This matter was specifically handed over to Yan Fu to investigate. Yan Youling could not find a chance to play. In fact, he had many connections here. Most of the classmates from the Shipbuilding School and a large number of students from the Tianjin Naval Academy were serving in the Naval Division. After a little inquiry, he immediately discovered the crux of the problem.

Two weeks ago, when Lu Hong was busy with his own industry in Shanghai, Yan Fu led his men to inspect the northern bullet warehouse in the valley of the eastern foot of the old man's mountain. This is naturally one of the two armament warehouses in the military port, which stored a large amount of military weapons, artillery shells and military supplies in the entire Lushun military port.

After a brief examination, Yan Fu's smart guy immediately discovered a big problem. In the bullet warehouse were several batches of shells that had recently entered the warehouse to ask the officials' warehouse officials. These fat and big-eared officials were no longer clear, let alone other military supplies piled up like mountains...
