    On the 27th, the Admiral's Mansion in Lushun City was filled with joy. When Lu Hong followed Yang Shixiang into the red-walled mansion with red gates, he saw Yang Shixiang leading the way, and he was greeted by a group of naval officers in blue five-cloud uniforms!  One of them, a skinny old man wearing a first-grade Qilin official robe, walked side by side with Yang Shixiang in an extremely respectful manner. He bowed his hands and saluted from a distance, speaking very skillfully and politely. He also did not forget to raise his hands to Lu Honggong.  Lu Hong immediately guessed the identity of this old man. The person with the title of first-class admiral in the Beiyang Navy was obviously Ding Ruchang. The smoothness of this man in officialdom was completely beyond his imagination However, when he thought about it carefully,  Anyway, Ding Ruchang was born in the Taiping Army. He was able to step from the bottom of the Huai Army to Li Hongzhang's confidant. He was obviously not a simple person.  Among the officers, Lu Hong only knew Li He, the captain of the Pingyuan ship. The thick-browed and mustachioed captain also obviously recognized Lu Hong, and he cupped his hands towards him through the crowd. On the other hand, Yan Fu next to him had a rather expressive expression.  Strange He knows more than half of the people here. They are either his former classmates or colleagues from the Huai Clan. However, his current situation is obviously far inferior to those of these acquaintances!  Ding Ruchang arranged a sumptuous dinner in the backyard of the Admiral's Mansion, and even prepared a Shandong Bangzi Opera. After some polite remarks, he sat down at the table, and soon Yan Fu began to introduce his acquaintances one by one amidst the babbling lyrics.  Lu Hongze saw the names one by one that only appeared in his memory.  "Lu Dusi, this is Liu Zixiang (Buchan), this is the former British classmate Lin Kaishi (Tai Zeng), this is Panyu Deng Zhengqing (Shichang)" Lu Hong nodded with a smile and sat down  At the dinner table, these naval generals seemed very relaxed, and they obviously didn't pay much attention to themselves as time-travelers. After listening to Yan Fu's introduction and just being polite, their attention was obviously focused on  On the imperial envoy Wang Renkan at the main table.  The conversation between Ding Ruchang, Yang Shixiang and Wang Renkan was obviously very lively. After Wang Renkan accepted Li Hongzhang's suggestion, the conversation became more pleasant, and Ding Ruchang was very satisfied and started to introduce the Tianjin Dagu.  During the grand military exercise, Yang Shixiang, who was standing by, was naturally full of praise for the gunnery skills of the Beiyang Navy.  Lu Hong naturally planned to express some discordant opinions on this. He had seen the Pingyuan ship Li He training troops. For the army of this era, the soldiers of the Beiyang Navy were on the whole comparable to the patrol battalions he had seen.  His ilk are too powerful, but he also understands that whether he is an officer or a soldier in Beiyang, the salary is several times that of an ordinary patrol camp or even a new-style military training.  However, he was soon involved in the bullshit talk of Yan Fu and Lin Taizeng "Lin Kaishi, are you really ready to participate in North Korea?" "Brother Youling, I am not in Tianjin."  I haven't heard about this I heard that the Japanese consul paid a visit to Lord Zhongtang and asked our country to send troops to suppress the rebellion. I heard that the new Zhili Admiral Ye Zhichao led the army, and Nie Shicheng was the outpost, right?" Lin Taizeng held up a wine glass in his hand!  After drinking it in one gulp, "I guess this is just a small-scale counterinsurgency. The drill in Dagu is enough to scare the Japanese!" "Lin Kaishi, if the Japanese Navy fights Beiyang, what are our chances of winning?"  "Yan Fu immediately started his question at an inappropriate time.  "The British all believe that the combat power of our Beiyang Navy is better than that of Japan and the two ships of Dingyuan and Zhenyuan. Although Japan has new warships and rapid-fire guns, they are unable to fight against our ironclads!" Lin Taizeng was obviously worried about this!  The bad temper of this former classmate was very familiar, so I was afraid that he would stalk me, so I immediately made a decisive argument Since the British Royal Navy, the number one in the world, agreed, this conclusion is obviously persuasive!  Yan Fu drank a few glasses of old wine, and his big mouth habit was immediately exposed. He pointed at Lu Hong and smiled at Lin Taizeng: "Kaishi, Lu Dushi's views on naval warfare are completely different from yours!  " At this moment, Lu Hong was holding a small blue and white porcelain wine cup, looking at these familiar faces one by one Deng Shichang, this guy actually has a good drinker. He is drinking with Li He. He has a rather rough appearance. He is not in the classic movies of later generations.  Why is Li Moran so brave?  On the other hand, Liu Buchan and Liu Zixiang were sitting on the right side of Yang Shixiang at the main table. They looked very sophisticated and calm, pouring and drinking by themselves without saying a word!  As for Fang Boqian, the villain in history that I know he is actually a very popular one among everyone. Zhenghe, Laiyuan Guan and Qiu Baoren, and Jingyuan Guan and Lin Yongsheng are talking about it! At this time, Yan Youling threw a hot potato,  It made him feel helpless His current status was obviously not enough to influence these naval admirals, who were at least third-rank generals and captains. Furthermore, through personal contact with Cai Tingqian, he also learned a lot about Beiyang's internal affairs In short,  Just one sentence - "The situation is too complicated!" At this moment, I heard Yan Fu talking nonsense. This guy has also been to Nanrui and Nanchen, so he must beHowever, many of the tactical details that I currently know need to be explored to a large extent before they can be transplanted to today's warships. Any large-scale naval technological transformation is obviously not something that can be taken for granted.  Made it!  He laughed loudly and cupped his hands towards these admiral and general-level officials, "Brother Youling, Admiral Liu is a senior general in the navy. If you tell me what little knowledge I have, it's really messing up what you're doing. It's really stinky!" "Lu Du  "Well, aren't you helping to repair warships in the Nanyang Navy? Aren't Lu Jianzhang promoting the new artillery skills you created?" Yan Fu got drunk and started shouting again, which made Lu Hong somewhat suspicious of his motives!  This big mouth obviously has no intention of closing.  New gunnery As soon as the term came out, more than a dozen eyes at the wine table were fixed on Lu Hong. However, some of them soon dismissed it and continued to join the drinking war. However, Lin Tai was obviously very interested.  Gao, he immediately raised the wine glass towards Lu Hong and said with a smile: "When I was in Tianjin, I heard Mr. Zhang mention the name of Lu Dushi. I heard that Lu Dushi traveled around Europe and had extraordinary knowledge. I didn't expect that he was also familiar with artillery.  , I¡¯d like to propose a toast to you!¡± Lu Hong smiled slightly, raised his glass and drank it in one gulp, ¡°General Lin, I only know a little bit about it, how dare you say that you are familiar with it, it¡¯s funny it¡¯s funny¡± Lin Taizeng naturally understands!  Yan Fu, his old classmate and colleague, although his words were not very pleasant, were not the kind of people who liked to brag. However, seeing that Lu Hong seemed to have no intention of continuing this topic, considering that this famous person was an imperial envoy, he smiled and said:  "Lu Du is being modest. I'll ask you about artillery skills again when I have the opportunity in the future!" When the two of them laughed, someone next to them suddenly shouted loudly. It was Fang Boqian who was having a drink with Qiu Baoren from a distance.  "Mr. Lu, what you are saying is too mysterious. This artillery skill can only be trained with a few more shells. How can it be so skillful" There are many respectable people on this table, although most of them are.  I know Yan Fu, but I am somewhat skeptical about what he said. After all, it has been more than 7 years since the Beiyang Navy officially became an army, and they have more than ten years of experience in joining the navy. What is the annual drill and training?  Everyone knows what's going on.  There are artillery officers on every ship. In this era, artillery officers have been completely trained in the British or German style. They must also have basic knowledge such as mathematics and chemistry. They can adjust the artillery based on observing the impact point of the artillery shells.  Elevation angle and shooting range But that's it. Real gunnery training is actually to ensure the practice of loading heavy artillery. You know, the more than 300 kilograms of shells and hundreds of kilograms of shells in Dingyuan and Zhenyuan  Medicine, this filling is a big question.  No one had come up with this talk before, so no one really wanted to take Lu Honglai seriously. When they heard Qiu Baoren start the conversation, they immediately realized that the show was about to begin. They immediately put down their glasses one by one and turned to look at the people picking up the food opposite.  Lu Hong When Lu Hong heard Qiu Baoren's words, he raised his head and looked at the mustache. It was obvious that he had drank a few more drinks and his face was flushed. Looking at this guy's character, he also liked to offend others. He  Originally, I had no intention of stealing the limelight at the wine table, but now that this matter has come up, I can teach them a lesson!  At this moment, someone next to him had already interrupted, but it was Liu Buchan who had been pouring himself a drink just now, "Qiu Guandai, you must have drunk too much Lu Doushi is a university scholar, a gadget for our navy."  , you really take it seriously!" After finishing speaking, Liu Buchan raised the wine cup in his hand and handed it to Lu Hongyi, "Lu Du, I heard that you have made a lot of contributions in supervising the corruption case of the Navy Yamen.  I would like to wish you a speedy promotion!" Lu Hong calmly took a bite of his food, then raised his glass to Liu Buchan, and then said in a calm tone: "Liu Junmen, talk about this artillery skill.  I have some experience I would like to ask the army, what is the range of the artillery fire during our Beiyang drill?" When he said this, he was beyond the expectations of the people at the table. Liu Buchan was even more surprised by what Lu Hong said.  The question asked, you know, the range of artillery is definitely the key to gunnery in this era. Lu Hong was able to ask directly on the point, which shows that this person is not that kind of layman He was immediately curious about the other party's explanation below.  "Land capital matters, according to the Beiyang Navy's drill code, daily artillery shooting training, the target ship is 1,500 meters away, and it must be hit during the tea time!" The Beiyang Navy has an annual military parade. Of course, the scale of this military parade varies from small to large.  In order to deal with the Korean crisis, all the Beiyang Navy was dispatched to conduct exercises in Dagu However, with the exercises day after day, this so-called "cup of tea" hit has long become a mere formality, even on the target ship.  Do something!
