    Wang Renkan was obviously a little surprised that Lu Hong paid special attention to the accompanying Yongying. However, the most urgent task now was obviously how to supervise the Nanyang Navy. After all, in the past few days, one group had received news that another imperial envoy Zhirui was supervising Lu.  The division actually impeached many officers and officials, so the matter was mentioned incidentally during the discussion that day.  Lu Hong had nothing to hide. This group of students had studied in the Armed Forces School for a long and short time, and some of them had no formal military experience at all. To be truly useful, it would not be enough for each person to be issued a gun.  This rigorous training is naturally necessary, and since he claimed to be familiar with Western military training, he naturally wanted to share Wang Renkan's worries!  Wang Renkan was very satisfied with Lu Hong's handling. For him, what he wanted was to complete the tasks assigned by the emperor. Obviously, capable and diligent subordinates were the most important. Originally, he had left these people to Lu Hong.  , I didn¡¯t plan to put them to great use at the time. After all, the literati of this era didn¡¯t have a good opinion about soldiers However, it sounds like Lu Hong is preparing to put these people to good use now, which is a good idea.  Lu Hong naturally needs to strive for Wang Renkan's approval. After all, the Yongying camp is mainly responsible for the important responsibility of imperial guards. Wang Renkan's approval of his actions will be of great significance to his future management of these people, and these guards are currently  In other words, Lu Hong never thought of instilling any revolutionary ideas in him. That thing was too advanced. To put it bluntly, his focus was to cultivate his cronies.  In the discussion that night, Wang Renkan adopted the Nanyang Navy's military discipline supervision opinions proposed by Yan Fu. The focus of this was naturally to conduct random inspections on the Navy's ammunition, maintenance, and training costs. Lu Hong did have some ideas, but in the end, he  The second-class naval force in China was far less knowledgeable than Yan Fu, so he didn't say much, but concentrated on controlling the 30-man camp on the ship.  To Lu Hong's expectation, Wang Renkan was actually very interested in his training, and came to watch from time to time. When he saw these soldiers practicing the training methods proposed by Lu Hongxin, he also inquired with great interest. Yan Fu was there for two days.  But he never showed up on the ship. After asking Wang Renkan, he found out that he was studying his plan to supervise military discipline in the cabin.  Two days later, when the Chengyu docked at the Huangpu Pier in the British Concession in Shanghai, Lu Hong finally saw Yan Fu getting off the ship with red eyes, which frightened him. Could it be that this guy had pink eye? In this era,  Viral things are really scary. He immediately expressed concern, "Brother Dao, what's wrong with your eyes? Could it be that you're sick!" Yan Fu has obviously encountered very difficult problems these days, but this time  Sifu obviously intends to continue to draw up the supervision plan this time and perform well. However, his familiarity with the Navy makes him well aware that the relationships involved are intricate and intricate. A single move can affect the whole body. If he makes a mistake, he will  Maybe the tiger didn¡¯t hit him, but was eaten by the tiger instead!  Lu Hong suddenly came over to ask questions, which startled him while he was deep in thought, but he immediately shook his head, "Lu Yunpan, it's okay, I just thought about the things assigned by Mr. Wang, and I didn't sleep well at night!" Lu Hong Hehe  With a smile, he didn't have to guess what this guy was thinking. He was definitely a little paranoid. It is said that capable guys are like this. It seems that this is true!  In this matter, I definitely don't want to let myself get involved, but I didn't intend to get involved in the first place. After all, even if I have knowledge of future generations, in terms of details, I don't know the navy as well as this guy does, so I took this opportunity to examine it carefully.  Investigation is the right way.  However, he had no intention of becoming a competitor with Yan Fu. This guy was definitely someone worth borrowing from. He smiled slightly and said, "Brother Dao Dao, you know the navy better than I do. I have a few  I want to ask some advice on this question! " Yan Fu actually regarded Lu Hong as an absolutely formidable opponent. After following Wang Renkan these days, he finally knew some of Lu Hong's background, and even knew who Lu Hong was in front of Li Hongzhang.  A big prophecy, which made me feel a lot of pressure Therefore, after Wang Renkan sent him on an errand, he definitely devoted himself wholeheartedly to the planning, and this was not Wang Renkan's true intention!  Now, Lu Hong asked him for advice very politely. He was also stunned, touched his mustache, hurriedly cheered up, and said with a smile: "Lu Yun has judged that he has failed. I have some experience in the naval world. If you know, naturally,  Tell me everything you know!" Lu Hong chuckled and looked at this guy meaningfully, "Brother Dao, I heard you mentioned last time that there are far fewer people in this naval division who can seek personal gain than in the land division.  However, this matter of procurement, smuggling, and private use has serious drawbacks, and I think I can write some articles about this By the way, when I returned to China, I met an American arms dealer. He mentioned in a casual conversation that a large number of overseas  When the arms finally entered the Chinese army warehouse, the price was already several times higher than when it entered the customs! But I don¡¯t know if Brother Dao had heard of it!¡± Yan Fu was immediately stunned by his question!, he really had never heard of the rumors that Lu Hong mentioned, but it is true that a lot of armaments in the navy came from foreign merchants. However, when this matter was investigated, it seemed like there was nowhere to start He was giving Wang Renkan  In his copy, he mentioned that when his students came to visit him in the early years, they often mentioned that the navy's large training and purchase fees were deducted by officers and officials in charge of procurement through various blatant means. This was what he had thought about, and it was most likely that  Proven disciplinary violations.  However, what troubles him these days is that he is afraid that when the time comes to conduct an in-depth investigation, the scope of the investigation will be too wide to be contained!  As for the things Lu Hong mentioned, he immediately realized that this person was not here to consult him, but to convey some information to him that he seemed to have not noticed And when he thought of his original little thoughts, Yan Fu's expression turned slightly.  Seemingly embarrassed!  He thought about it for a moment and immediately figured out something. He reached out and took out a few pieces of bamboo paper from his luggage, "Lu Yunpan, these are some plans I considered on the ship for two days. If you have time later, please give me some advice."  Come and discuss it together!" Lu Hong said a few polite words and naturally agreed. The navy probably spent a lot of money on military expenditures. After carefully sorting it out, he thought he would definitely be able to find a breakthrough. With Yan Fu here, I'm afraid.  He also has many connections among the Nanyang navy. If he makes good use of these channels, he will obviously get twice the result with half the effort!  By the time Wang Renkan and his entourage got off the boat, many government officials had already arrived outside. Seven or eight officials, surrounded by a fat old man with fair complexion and long white beard, walked quickly. Then someone came to the opposite side to hand over a greeting card, but it was from Shanghai Road.  Taihuang Zuluo, and behind him were officials at all levels from Shanghai County. Naturally, they had received the news early and were waiting here.  Now Lu Hong had to handle the matter of welcoming people and sending them off by himself. Fortunately, Qin Tianmin was by his side, so he was able to handle it flawlessly. And he obviously noticed that Tan Xianpin  He and Red Belt Rongqing were obviously familiar with each other, but Feng Hesheng, an old man, had a look of disgust on his face. As for Yan Fu, this guy was standing behind Wang Renkan with no expression at all, as if he had no intention of coming to help No wonder this  I didn't do well with Li Hongzhang!  In fact, Lao Li still thinks highly of this guy, but it's a pity that he has no way to integrate into that circle!  Later that day, when Wang Renkan arrived at his temporary residence on Tongwen Road, three burly men wearing military attache robes were waiting at the door. One of them, with a curly beard and a red birthmark on his left face, was standing there.  It was Guo Baochang, the current commander of the Nanyang Navy. The other tall and thin man was Yuan Jiugao, the commander of the left wing of the Navy, and the strong yellow-faced man was Wu Ankang, the commander of the right wing. Naturally, they came in a hurry to pay a visit after getting the news, and they left a group of people at the door.  A generous tribute was sent to Lu Hong. Of course, this was not for Lu Hong.  Later, Lu Hong and Yan Fu heard Wang Renkan reprimanding these three second- and third-grade military attach¨¦s very severely in the living room, but there was no trace of politeness in his words. However, these three big and thick men were standing in the living room.  In front of Wang Renkan, he was extremely submissive. Even after being severely scolded, everyone kept smiling!  The behavior of this number one scholar is somewhat difficult for Lu Hong to understand. In this era, greetings and send-offs are all explicit rules in the officialdom. He is now considered a member of the officialdom. Regarding the blatant corruption in the Manchu government system,  He already knew a lot about it, but Wang Renkan's completely different attitudes towards military attach¨¦s and civilian officials still made him very surprised.  This situation made Lu Hong really see the rules of this era of the noble and the military. In fact, Wang Renkan only met these three senior naval attach¨¦s today, and what made him furious was the expensive tribute given by these three people.  , In fact, in the afternoon, Huang Zuluo, a group of local officials and gentry from Shanghai Daotai, also paid tribute, but they did not see any intention of rejecting the number one scholar!  When Lu Hong saw off Wang Renkan's guests, Qin Tianmin also came over. This guy quickly became acquainted with Guo Baochang. When they arrived at the door, Guo Baochang had already invited Lu Hong and Qin Tianmin to get together another day.  After Guo Baochang and the others came out of the mansion, when they turned around the intersection, he immediately put away his flattering expression. The three of them boarded a carriage that had been waiting here for a long time. Guo Baochang showed a tough look before.  At this moment, he looked completely shrewd. He looked at his two trusted subordinates and said immediately: "The news from the prince is indeed correct. The imperial envoy this time is from Qingliu. We spent money, so it is probably not certain.  If you can handle it, wait a little while to deliver the goods when you get back, but don't let them see the problem!" Wu Ankang touched the sparse beard on his yellow face impatiently, "Commander, it should be fine if you wait a little longer!  , I'm afraid it's been delayed for too long, and we will have to lose a lot of money" Guo Baochang's face turned cold, "Wu Yichang, I have the final say on this matter, you go and make arrangements immediately, don't underestimate this Wang Ren  Damn it, the prince said, this is an errand sent by the emperor. Whoever is unlucky enough to get caught will probably not be able to escape so easily Be careful with the ten thousand year ship, you two will take care of it tomorrow.?Go out and avoid being spotted by them!  "
