    That night, Lu Hong stayed at Xue Fucheng's mansion as much as he could. After hearing the news, Huang Zuluo came over all night. After confirming the news from Xue Yiyun, he left in a hurry. Later, he sent a small official to see him off.  After taking supplements such as Laoshan Ginseng and Cordyceps, Lu Hong and Chen Lianfang went in together to check on Xue Fucheng, who had been sleeping soundly all night, and confirmed again that Lao Xue's condition had greatly improved.  Chen Lianfang suddenly found an opportunity to show off. He prescribed a warm and cold decoction and carefully prepared it for Xue Fucheng. Lu Hong now started to act as a hands-off shopkeeper. He was really powerless in the subsequent matters, so he pretended to be sophisticated.  He said goodbye first and left!  When they returned to the mansion, Qin Tianmin and others looked at Lu Hong with something wrong. Last night, they were at Xue Fucheng's house and heard too many bizarre stories, and this Lu Dushi was obviously the story  The protagonist, however, is obviously too completely unexpected.  Lu Hongke was too lazy to care about them. This effect was the reason why he took them to Xue Fucheng's house. Sure enough, after returning, these people were obviously very attentive to their work, and he had to carefully consider other things for the time being.  An important thing In the evening, Lu Hong came to Xue Mansion again, and Xue Yiyun ran out to greet him with a grateful look on his face.  "Master Lu, my father's condition has improved greatly. He drank some porridge before, and Chen Lianfang gave him a few more decoctions. He may need to nurse for a few days I can thank you for his wonderful rejuvenation this time!" Lu Hong laughed.  , after a few polite words, he explained the purpose of his visit today, "Mr.  I am about to rush to Lushun. I am afraid that I will not be able to come back in the short term. I also ask the young master to tell Mr. Xue that the state affairs are probably far from satisfactory, and you need to make arrangements for the country!" Xue Yiyun originally expected Lu Hong to diagnose and treat Xue Fucheng, but now  He had already been impressed by the astonishing skills shown by this lady, but after hearing that Chen Lianfang was in charge, he naturally had no other ideas and hurriedly responded to Lu Hong's request. The two chatted for a while, and then they parted ways.  Early 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-walled wooden-hulled warship was also of the Kaiji class and was built by Fuzhou Shipyard.  It is a relatively primitive fire tube boiler, and the steam engine is a Kangbang double-cylinder double-expansion steam engine made by the Fuzhou Shipping Bureau. However, seven or eight years after it was launched, this destroyer, which originally had a speed of 14.5, can now run 13 knots. Thank God.  However, the armament of the Jingqing ship still left a deep impression on Lu Hong. The three 190mm main guns were quite powerful. The side string and ear turrets had a total of seven 120mm secondary guns. Calculated carefully,  It is also quite effective.  Along the way, Lu Hong was very interested in chatting with Zhang Qiguang, the commander of the Jingqing ship. As a result, he was surprised to find that the origin of this white-haired old man really surprised Lu Hong. He turned out to be from the old Hunan Army and fought in the Sino-French War.  The commander of the battle of Zhenhai also defeated the French warships in the battle of Zhenhai. This man was awarded the title "Zhentu Batulu" by the Qing government.  Although Lu Hong was surprised by this man's illustrious military exploits, Lu Hong was deeply impressed by the stubbornness of this white-haired old man. When he talked to him about some naval tactics, the old man ignored him at all, and on the ship  The sailor's mental state is also quite embarrassing.  Drifting with the tide all the way, when the Laotieshan Lighthouse outside Lushun Port appeared in sight, it was already the third day of May in the Sino-Japanese War of 1999. The high flying dragon flag allowed the Jingqing ship to enter the port unimpeded. However, Lu Hong was disappointed.  However, there were only a dozen torpedo boats in the port, and none of the Beiyang Navy warships that had been expected were included.  After landing on the shore, Yan Fu soon saw a tired look on his face. Seeing Lu Hong's arrival, this man showed unexpected enthusiasm, "Lu Du, are you here? Mr. Wang has been asking about you every day these days."  "Brother Youling, what happened here?" Yan Fu's strange behavior aroused Lu Hong's curiosity. He immediately asked, and this question revealed a lot of things.  After Wang Renkan went to Tianjin Guard to meet Li Hongzhang, he rushed to Lushun with Li's order to supervise military discipline. The Beiyang Navy not only had the navy in Lushun Port, but also a group of Huai troops stationed under the navy. Their task was naturally  Ensure the safety and defense of Port Arthur, but soon Wang Renkan discovered a big problem here.  Earlier, Admiral Ding Ruchang of the Beiyang Navy was indeed in Port Arthur. 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 been looking for him.  Wang Renkan, the admiral of the navy and a first-class military officer, the issues mentioned are indeed childish.  Then, based on the issues raised by Ding Ruchang, Wang Renkan began to inspect the dock supply warehouse of the Beiyang Fleet. This matter was specific.It was handed over to Yan Fu to investigate and deal with it. Yan Youling could not find a chance to show his talents. In fact, he had a lot of connections here. Most of them were classmates at the Shipbuilding School and a large number of Tianjin Navy.  The students in the school were all serving in the Navy. After asking around for a while, they immediately discovered the crux of the problem.  Two weeks ago, when Lu Hong was busy working on his property in Shanghai, Yan Fu led a group of his men to raid the North Ammunition Depot at the eastern foothills of Laotou Mountain. This was naturally one of the two armaments depots in the military port.  There are a large number of ordnance, artillery shells and military supplies throughout the Lushun military port.  As a result, after a brief inspection, Yan Fu's shrewd guy immediately discovered a big problem. In the bullet magazine were several batches of artillery shells that had been recently put into the warehouse. Asking the officials in the official warehouse, these fat-headed and big-eared officials could not figure it out, let alone the piles.  Other military supplies Yan Fu's method was not simple. He immediately arrested several suspected petty officials. After a little pressure, he immediately provided an important clue. The crux of the problem pointed directly at Hou Delun, the operator of Port Arthur.
