Yang Hao left safely and safely.*

Li Jingfang's face changed several times and bowed to Li Hongzhang: "Father, what Yang Hao said..."

Li Hongzhang smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, don't listen to that kid's mouth full of humbleness. Humph, he is still far from being able to sow discord in front of me. You don't have to take it to heart, but try not to interact with him on weekdays. This kid is very dangerous."

He had already classified Yang Hao as the group of people who were "not good" in his heart. He was frivolous, arrogant, and did not know how to hide his weakness. Such a boy usually would not go very far, but he was definitely a root cause of disasters and trouble.

Li Jingfang agreed depressedly. In fact, he really wanted to get closer to Yang Hao. It was rare to have someone who speaks and does things in all aspects. It would be a pity to miss it like this.

Luo Fenglu was loyal and reminded with a serious face: "Fu Xiang, if you let him go, you may cause great harm in the future. It would be better to order people to capture them together and uproot them to avoid any trouble, which would affect you."

Li Hongzhang raised his chin arrogantly and hummed, "I'm afraid of others being implicated? That's all a trivial matter. This kid has great use now, so there's no need to be busy. If you really force him to get angry, the disaster may be even more powerful than Hong Yang!"

Judging from all the signs, Yang Hao is simply the representative of a major force who is introduced to do business. Li Hongzhang has no idea how big the power behind it is and where it comes from. If he doesn't understand their details, what's the use of killing Yang Hao? They finally turned from the dark to the light, forcing them to lurk? That's even more troublesome.

Furthermore, Li Hongzhang was also afraid.

It was not until today that he truly realized that Yang Hao’s military power was not very strong. The power was terrifying. He only talked about the artillery technology. Just a few small boats and freighters were enough to make his ironclad ship unable to take advantage of it.

Now on the surface, both sides are still cooperating, but he is unwilling to force such a force to the opposite side. No matter who is controlled, it will not be a good thing for him.

There is another factor that cannot be said. In Yang Hao's words and deeds, the flavor of Greater Chinese supremacy is not concealed. Although it will definitely be taboos from the court, it is very suitable for Li Hongzhang's appetite.

Luo Fenglu also mentioned this, but the boss refused to accept it. He couldn't make any mistakes in interfering in his affairs.

But in private, he had another idea in his mind. Judging from the old man's intention, it seemed that he was planning for what he would do after he was forced to step down. Let Yuan Shikai be the successor? That little slip-on is not a good thing. So what if it was Li Jingfang? It seems...it's just right!

Whether it is the Huai Army or the Beiyang Army, they are all powerful forces built by Li Hongzhang. The old man personally has been in charge for more than 20 years, supporting his current status as stable as Mount Tai.

But it also caused many internal factions and were unwilling to accept each other.

If Yuan Shikai had been working hard in Goryeo, the old man would have lived and supported him for a few years, he might have really been on the road. But unfortunately, he was so tired that he was blacked out by Yang Hao for several months. This time, he did not get the chance to perform in the battle with Pyongyang, and it was not so easy to suddenly get to the top.

On the other hand, Li Jingfang was born there, and when it comes to his talents, he has been engaged in diplomacy for six consecutive years, and his familiarity with the Westernization Movement in China is also considered. He was promoted to the stage and an old man was overwhelming, so I believe others would not say anything.

It’s a pity that this boy lacks military experience, but he is prone to becoming a real demographic!

Not to mention Luo Fenglu's mindset, he thought about how to make this matter easier. However, Yang Hao returned to the command center of the US Concession and made a brief statement on the confrontation with Li Hongzhang with a group of backbones. Finally, he concluded: "Li Hongzhang is not our biggest enemy, and he will not become a stumbling block in our career, but may become an effective helper. We should find opportunities to influence Li Jingfang more. This person's thoughts are relatively open-minded and progressive, and he has great hope to absorb and become one of us."

This proposal scared everyone.

After several months of military training, they have studied underground work regulations including the "Eight Regulations in Prison", and they always have a string in their hearts and dare not relax.

Is it too risky to develop Li Jingfang as a member of the "Huaxing Association"?

Faced with Ding Weifen's doubts, Yang Hao smiled and comforted: "Believe in the great appeal of our philosophy. Yes, Li Jingfang is indeed the best among the ruling class and vested interests, but don't ignore his powerful aspirations to change the status quo. Never think that the Qing court officials were very loyal to the rule of the Qing Dynasty. Even those Qingliu leaders were just a fence-bearer driven by fame and fortune."

He could not explain how terrible the underground work of our party had developed in the revolutionary era in this world. He had slashed the supreme leader of the Democratic Party, wrote meeting minutes, forwarded orders, and the people around the ladies and children of all generals were all developed.

Some of them are born in wealthy and have no worries about food and clothing, but why can they dare to take risks and devote themselves to great causes without hesitation? Ideals, lofty ideals and firm beliefs.

People born in peaceful times cannot imagine how they arise and persist. But as long as they come to such a suppression that is breathless everywhere, the entire country and nation are facing the brink of crisis of destruction at any time. If they do not want to live in obscurity like sobering up, they can only rise up and fight and join the revolution.

It can be said that every staunch revolutionary is somewhat similar to the crazy believers of various religions.

And any successful person must have an ideal and belief that he firmly believes in and pursues to the end, and will never waver even when encountering difficulties and obstacles, which will support him every day and every process.

This is actually because they found the "Tao" in their hearts. The whole process of fighting for it is "cultivation".

Yang Hao himself is just moving from the confused past, moving towards the direction of finding his own "Tao".

Everything he performed at the moment was also a process of groping and learning. But luckier than other people in this era, he had at least one route that had been proven to be successful to copy. Among them, the forks explored after the bloodshed and sacrificed by millions of people did not need to repeat the same mistakes.

In other words, Yang Hao is not a real "revolutionary" now. But he is changing in that direction. Nothing else. After a person does something for a long time, his thoughts and consciousness will naturally change.

Ding Weifen believed in his judgment and immediately discussed the specific key points of action together. It is incalculable to them that he can really develop Li Jingfang into a revolutionary.

Then Yang Hao went to the huge steel structure factory and transported another batch of equipment and materials in the world. The area covering more than 10,000 square meters and available capacity of at least 100,000 cubic meters is really old and young.

Most of the loaded items on the "Dongming" are not easy to stack and store and transport, such as machines. After unloading at Dagukou, they slowly get here. It will take at least three days to leave. Yang Hao has arranged the business and took the time to go back to the world first.

When he arrived at the shipyard, Fatty Liu yawned over a bunch of drawings and complained: "Don't waste your time with these old things in the future. You don't plan to build an iron armored ship. In addition, there is already a cape in Dingyuan. Can't we concentrate on getting the heavy patrol done first?"

Yang Hao only brought the work of modifying the "Dingyuan-class iron armored ship" two days ago, and asked him to work in an emergency and give corresponding designs.

Fatty Liu really couldn't get up to this. But who told Yang Hao to give him a consultant fee now? He still made some things he had dressed up a long time ago and brought them up.

Yang Hao smiled and expressed his gratitude. He expanded the blueprint and saw it. Sure enough, there was a big difference.

According to his request, the "small changes" "Zhenyuan" canceled the front 150mm sub-turret, and the connected cabins were removed from the main mast. The chimneys were merged into one, and then a commander tower that fused the main mast was formed next to the two exposed turrets.

In this way, not only can all four main guns be able to fire forward, but also can obtain a wide range of four volleys when they are left. Of course, the cannon must be retained and replaced with 1.5-inch modern high-strength steel with explosion-proof lining, with the opening at the back to prevent the can effect.

The rear turret is replaced with a 120mm rapid-fire cannon, which adds a semi-enclosed ceiling and peripheral armor layer to the turret, ensuring that it will not be penetrated except when direct fired by enemy guns of more than 210mm.

Remove the torpedo boat and arrange three semi-enclosed 120mm rapid-fire turrets on the left and right sides to ensure fire density. The internal 75 sampan guns, 57 and 47 sampan guns are all replaced with 76mm anti-shield rapid-fire guns, plus the two on the shoulders of the commander tower, a total of 10. The 37mm Hatch Cass five-barrel cannon is retained.

The four main guns that Yang Hao wanted to change the most were unable to replace the more advanced double 203mm overall turret with a smaller diameter because Li Hongzhang insisted on a 305mm caliber.

However, there is no change at all. Given that the original four cannons have reached the edge of scrapping and the rifle has almost been worn out, I simply cast four doors for him again, with the diameter lengthened to 30 times, rather than 22 times that of the cheating father.

Modern technology manufactured, although the main gun barrel and two-layer hoop sleeves not only did not increase but also reduced the overall weight, but after using smokeless launching drugs, the range was increased to more than 12,000 meters, and 350 kilograms of heavy bullets can be used.

It also fully utilizes the load-bearing capacity of its hydraulic rotating table and replaces the original rigid frame with a water-pressure air re-entry mechanism. In this way, the rate of fire can be increased from one round in the previous three minutes to one round in one round in one round in one round in one round in one round in the previous three minutes.

Because "Zhenyuan" uses a horizontal host, which is relatively low, it is simply replaced with two single-flow steam engines of 6,000 horsepower, and two additional generators are added. The boiler is simplified into a four-seat heat pipe type, which can ensure that the speed of the warship reaches 18 knots, which is much better than the old things before.

By doing so, the overall displacement of the warship has not improved much, but its combat effectiveness has increased several times. Although it is far from the classic front and back double turret arrangement in Yang Hao's mind, it is enough to deal with it for a while.

The key is that if you want to change it to a back-and-load type to ensure left-hand volley and front-and-back, you have to remove the four exposed turrets, and only a shell can be used on the entire boat. It is better to rebuild one than to have that skill.

With this transformation design, most parts manufacturing can be completed in this world, just waiting to get plane B to assemble. This is the fastest solution. In essence, those people in plane B cannot do more complicated work and cannot count on them.

After putting away the drawings, Yang Hao asked Fatty Liu about the preparations for the new cruise ship.

Fatty Liu was immediately energetic and grinned proudly, "I have to mention it if you don't say it. Our shooting plan has been confirmed. Should we announce the official start of construction to the outside world? Many people can't wait and ask me countless times!"

Yang Hao himself was actually anxious to see it earlier, and asked: "I have too many things to do in this situation... The key is, how about the design and manufacturing of the 203mm main gun and triple turret? Can it be done to see if this guy has a chance!"

Fatty Liu rolled his eyes and hummed, "What you asked is purely unnecessary. With a large group of professionals here, Isn't it easy to get the turret? As we walked, we went to the placing workshop together to open your eyes first."

Yang Hao felt a little excited. This was his most concerned issue at the moment. As long as he had a heavy patrol, he would not worry about being bullied on the door no matter how hard he was tortured in the B plane.

Without saying a word, he dragged Fatty Liu into the electric car and rushed straight to the factory behind.

After entering the staking workshop, I faced a mighty and majestic guy and pointed at the door! (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
