甲午战争前,清政府已经初步建立了联络内外的电报系统。在战争期间,盛宣怀为保证电报通讯系统的畅通,作了很大努力,为迅速传递军情起了很大作用。但是由于当时电报系统存在的问题,一定程度上又制约了电报的传递速度。 Before the Sino-Japanese War, the Qing government had initially established a telegraph system to contact both inside and outside the country. During the war, Sheng Xuanhuai made great efforts to ensure the smooth communication of the telegraph and communications system and played a significant role in the rapid transfer of military intelligence. However, due to the problems existing in the telegraph system at that time, the transmission speed of the telegraph was restricted to a certain extent.
