    Wu Ankang was loudly reprimanding several officers in the navy's five-cloud uniforms in the barracks at the moment. Obviously, these officers were all temporarily quarantined because they were involved in the Guo Baochang and Yuan Jiugao smuggling foreign drugs cases. Several of them were Guo Baochang and Yuan Jiugao.  The two's closest confidants and others were also officers on the two ships.  Following this opportunity, Wu Ankang was obviously ready to firmly hold the power of the navy in his own hands. Guo and Yuan fell, and he had Lu Hong as his guarantee. He had made great contributions and was not promoted to an official position.  It doesn't make sense, so he has naturally set his sights on the position of commander of the Nanyang Navy's outer seas, and taking the opportunity to suppress and eradicate a group of officers who hinder his officialdom is naturally the first priority!  The officers in this room were obviously among those who were about to be expelled. Most of the former cronies of Guo Baochang and Yuan Jiugao were involved in or knew about the smuggling of foreign medicines. Now that the incident has happened, their only idea is to escape as soon as possible, but don't let the city gate catch fire.  Disaster for little people like them.  However, there are some officers among them who should actually fall into the category of unlucky ones. Most of them served on the two ships "Nan Rui" and "Nan Chen". In fact, in most cases in the military, they have no choice.  Moreover, given their military rank, it is actually impossible to know what the commander is doing. Even if he knew, he would not have the ability to intervene in such matters. Now that Wu Ankang was fired for violating military discipline, he naturally felt unjust.  The dispute just started was because of this. Wu Ankang naturally had no intention of fighting with these young officers to seize Luosuo. He waved his hand and ordered the arrest on the spot. Those officers who dared not speak were standing tremblingly at the door of the barracks, and  On the other side, seven or eight petty officers were tied up with worried faces.  However, one of the young officers with a square face and thick eyebrows and a fashionable moustache continued to argue, "Master Wu, I have only been in service for two years, and I was previously an instructor on the 'Cedian' mosquito gunboat.  I was only transferred to the Nanrui ship three months ago. This matter really has nothing to do with me If your Excellency thinks that I am suspicious, if there is evidence" Wu Ankang naturally knows this person. He is the Nanrui ship's gunner Lin Jianzhang, who was originally supposed to be  A student from Tianfu Nanyang Naval Academy, he joined the navy after completing his studies two years ago. However, he was not familiar with these junior officers. He just saw that this guy was on the Nari now, so he was naturally removed from the list.  Among them.  At this moment, seeing Lin Jianzhang being verbose and winking, an officer next to him had already come up and said something, interrupting the guy's defense and yelling: "Bah if you have nothing to do with this,  Come up with the evidence yourself. How can my family have the time to investigate a small character like you? Get out of the naval camp as soon as possible!" Lin Jianzhang was inexplicably humiliated by Wu Ankang's men, which is considered a joke.  After understanding the situation, the other party obviously had no intention of leaving a way for him, which made him feel depressed. However, he enrolled in the Nanyang Naval Academy, and he just wanted to board a ship and serve as a soldier to serve the country. He didn't expect this path.  It has actually come to such an end!  Now he was under the eaves and had to lower his head. Thinking of this, he could only angrily wait for Wu Ankang and his officers next to him, but there was nothing he could do "Wang Heli, fire Qin Songhe, fire  Revolution Ma Yihu, revolution Sun Yiwen, revolution" As a staff member next to Wu Ankang loudly announced the disposition of these officers, some people were indignant, while others seemed relieved. At this time,  Wu Ankang suddenly noticed Lu Hong pushing in the door!  "Master Lu, what brought you here!" Wu Ankang immediately waved his hand to stop announcing his opinions on the disposal, but stood up with a smile and came over. Lu Hongruo was only a sixth-grade civil servant in terms of his official position. However,  On the one hand, he is a noble man but a lowly military man, and on the other hand, Lu Hong is now a popular figure around the imperial envoy. He owes all his achievements to this person, so this guy is extremely polite when he speaks.  Lu Hong had actually heard something while standing at the door just now. He pushed the door open and came in because he had other plans. He pretended to be surprised and asked: "Master Wu, are you joining Guo and Yuan in the survey army?"  This is a matter of concern to Imperial Envoy Wang Xueshi, can I observe it?" Wu Ankang was also stunned after hearing this. He was indeed dealing with matters related to Guo and Yuan, but he didn't.  He had no time to investigate who was involved and who was not. For him, the Nanyang Navy in the future would be his own sphere of influence. To firmly control this power was the most important thing.  However, now Lu Hong has intervened, and it is very difficult to disagree with this truth. This makes him slightly embarrassed. He turns around and hurriedly makes Lu Hong sit down on his left side. However, now  But you can't just announce that all these people will be fired. Otherwise, if the news reaches the ears of the imperial envoy, do you think you have evidence, or are you firing people indiscriminately?  He pointed at the officers tied on one side and the low-ranking officers on the other side.The group of people who were silent said, "Mr. Lu, these are the officers on the Nanrui and Nanchen ships. There are also some officers who work for Guo and Yuan in the camp. I checked and found that they are all the same."  This smuggling case is related, but considering the stability of the military's morale, I would also like to ask you to explain something to the imperial envoy. These accomplices should be given a lighter sentence and be dismissed together!" Lu Hong naturally knew that there was something hidden in it, but he also  I am not here to take care of Wu Ankang's seizure of power in the Nanyang Navy, so I have no intention of exposing this guy's nonsense. Instead, I nodded with interest, "Master Wu is really kind-hearted. I will definitely serve Wang Xueshi again when I come back."  Report this matter in front of me" At this point, he suddenly pointed at the tied officers, "Master Wu, why are these people tied up? Is it to disturb military discipline?" Wu Ankang was asked this question, but he couldn't answer.  Come on, you can't just let these people be tied up if they cry out for injustice. On the contrary, those who don't cry out for injustice should be tied up according to the truth!  The aide next to him, Mr. Liu, was a little quick-witted and immediately picked up the topic and said, "Master Lu, these people are disturbing the court, but they can't produce evidence. Master Wu thinks they are all colleagues, so he didn't hit them with military sticks!"  Lu Hong pretended to make a deep sound, and suddenly stared at Master Liu, "Master Liu, this time the imperial mission came to inspect each camp, it was also entrusted by the emperor to strictly enforce military discipline. This time Guo and Yuan have already taken action. You  The case here must be settled clearly, otherwise, if something happens to block the imperial envoy's sedan chair, Mr. Wu's great achievements will inevitably be damaged if the investigation is carried out!" As soon as he said this, Mr. Liu was blinded immediately!  His face turned pale, and he looked at Wu Ankang in panic. After thinking about it carefully, Lu Hong's statement was possible. He immediately wanted to explain, but he didn't have the right words for the moment. When Wu Ankang next to him saw it, he naturally understood it.  After realizing what Lu Hong meant, he hurriedly smiled and whispered to Lu Hong.  "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry for reminding you Then how do you think this matter should be handled?" This guy was a shrewd man, and he immediately started asking with a pretense of humility.  Lu Hong smiled slightly. He actually didn't mind at all how this guy formed a clique in the Nanyang Navy. After all, this matter had nothing to do with him. However, it was natural to carry out the little emperor and the imperial envoy Wang Renkan from the palace.  I have to bury my head for another thing.  "Just be fair!" Lu Hongyun passed by lightly. He leaned into Wu Ankang's ear and asked: "Master Wu, I came here for other reasons. Master Wang will have to tour various places later. This  I am tired from the sea, and it is quite inconvenient. I am thinking about borrowing a boat from you" "Sir Lu, there is no problem with this Why don't I take you to see the warships of our Nanyang Navy later?  Auxiliary boat, use the one that is spacious!" Wu Ankang saw that the opportunity had come to flatter the imperial envoy, and he naturally agreed.  Lu Hong asked calmly: "Master Wu, the ships used by the imperial envoy must be stable. Are those ships of the Nanyang Navy more sturdy?" Wu Ankang thought for a while and looked at Lu Hong. Regarding this person, he  Somewhat incomprehensible, an official from the capital was very concerned about the Navy. However, these issues obviously did not require him to think too much, "Master Lu, the faster ship is the Huantai ship produced by Fuzhou Shipyard.  If the hulls are stronger, Nanrui and Nanchen are both iron-hulled ships!" Lu Hong smiled slightly, "Master Wu, aren't Nanrui and Nanchen under the jurisdiction of Guo and Yuan, then let these two ships escort them?  "Imperial Envoy!" Lu Hong had gone aboard to see the Nanrui and Nanchen ships when he was arresting people at Dongjiadu. Although they were two 2,200-ton iron-hulled warships, they were products of the early German Volcan shipyard.  The outer shell only has 1 inch of armor, but compared to wooden-hulled battleships, this is already a cross-generational technology. Lu Hong naturally doesn't mind the lion opening his mouth and uses it first!
