Chapter Fourteen Murong Lanzhu
When the Republic was first established, a large number of archives were left behind by the previous dynasty. These dusty archives were never sorted out except for a small number of military and political archives.
During the 30th year of the Republic of China, a weak scholar walked into Lantai and began to organize these archives.
Penicillin, quinine, insulin... Countless discoveries suddenly made the medical level of the Republic soar, and these discoveries were all related to an unknown name: Murong Lanzhu.
This scholar pursued Murong Lanzhu's clues in Danei's documents and finally formed the life legend of this Xinglin female hero. Murong Lanzhu was a concubine of the former Jin Dynasty about forty years before the Republic. She was born in the Xinglin family and loved medicine since she was a child. About twenty years ago, she was selected into the palace, although this was not her wish.
After entering the palace, this strange woman was quickly thrown into the cold palace. The last emperor of Jin was famous for his poor and extravagant nature, and he changed his favorite concubines very quickly. Moreover, this Xinglin female hero was not famous for her beauty.
In the only letters, she can see her longing for a young lover. The so-called doctor's benevolence, apart from her longing for her lover, she devotes all her time to medical research. Countless setbacks in adversity, countless cold words, and countless exhaustion, can never shake the belief of this peerless beauty. In the dark humble room, Murong Lanzhu has countless inventions that influence future generations.
But all this cannot change the tragic ending of Murong Lanzhu. This scholar found Murong Lanzhu in the list of the last emperor of the Jin Dynasty. Fortunately, this weak scholar, Murong Lanzhu's discovery can be passed on.
During the 40th year of the Republic of China, the soldiers of the Hubei army who were leading the southern expedition praised Murong Lanzhu and the penicillin she discovered: "our goddess and her Ganoderma lucidum". The various units of the Southern Army tried every means to compete for this medicine from the black market in Shanghai, and the purchase price was even more than ten times higher than gold.
The Southern Expedition, which was called "the foreign war declared without war, and the civil war declared without war" in history books, ended hastily, but Murong Lanzhu's name has entered thousands of households.
"Now the family is going to be in chaos... By the way, I forgot to tell you that Li Dingyuan sent a telegram saying that the old Hubei army would never attack the old Hubei army..."
"Yes... they are busy again... but with your planning, we will definitely win this battle... But we will also go back to Shandong early..."
"But I don't know when my wedding with Su Xue will be held..."
"Teacher is really true. You didn't discuss the big deal with us when you got married, and you made a decision in advance... It completely caught us off guard..."
"No, no matter what the teacher does, I will support her, aren't you?"
"Of course..."
He forced the disgusting feeling, let the cold water slide across his face, forced the fear in his heart with the cold feeling, and talked about things that were not related to the name, attracting attention to other things. Even the warrior who had been through many battles still had something to fear in his heart. Liu Jingxiao turned around and said to his confidant: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, I really didn't expect she actually said that name..."
The fear that was deliberately suppressed came to my heart again. The truth of history is always a collection of harshness and darkness. Liu Jingxiao felt this feeling in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud. He just shook his hand and said, "Don't say it! Let me be quiet..."
The bathroom was silent for a long time, and suddenly a creaking sound was heard. Su Xue pushed the door with her light footsteps, looking at her fiancé who was one head shorter than her, and an inexplicable fear was revealed on her body. Her fingers were shaking involuntarily. Her eyes couldn't help but show a gentle look, and a towel that had been applied with hot water was handed in her hand.
This silent action moved Liu Jingxiao very much. While taking the towel, he secretly thought to himself: "Thank you! My wife!"
Beijing Yang Mansion.
"Ship Yun?" Yang Linyi looked at the unexpected uninvited guest, and his heart was filled with questions.
"I'm here to inform you, and the inspector decided that our direct troops would not participate in the attack on Lu this time."
A confusion flashed in Yang Linyi's eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Is this what Ming Shuai means or Yun Shuai means?"
The magistrate Chen Yunjie mentioned, that is, the nominal leader of the direct line, Cao Ming. This hawker-born Mingshuai was really useless. However, Cao Ming was generous and had a general who was a master of Chen Yunjie who was both literary and martial, loyal and righteous, so he barely took the position of direct line leader.
Chen Yunjie led his direct line to defeat the Southern Army in one battle, defeated E in the second world, and defeated Feng in the third world, which made his undefeated reputation, and the direct line to the top. However, since the two were powerful, Cao Ming and Chen Yunjie could not help but have some friction and had a very unpleasant fight. Yang Linyi's question was right.
The one who called Xiao Lu replied: "Of course it's Cao Ming's meaning. Yun Shuai, since you are a master of a generation, why are you leaning under a vendor?"
Before Yang Linyi could speak, Yue Zhonglin scolded first: "Stop talking, Xiao Lu, you are becoming more and more capable! I guess my personality and morality have surpassed Yun Shuai, and my generous temperament is better than Ming Shuai, and my open mind is better than Yang Jun. It's a pity that he is still a brigade commander today..." This scolding was so sarcastic that Xiao Lu's face turned red.
But Chen Yunjie's answer was completely beyond Yang Linyi's expectations: "Yes, Mingshuai did take over Liu Jingxiao's benefits and changed his mind, but this is the opinion of the Political Affairs Hall and the Congress, and it is also my intention!"
"You mean?"
"You should understand... I am just like them, and I don't want to launch troops at this time. There are strong barbarians invading the north and the Fengtian army is defeated. At this time, the troops will only benefit outsiders."
Since the founding of the Republic, the civil service system of the Republic has been changed to a political performance system. This system has largely eliminated nepotism and established a team of professional civil service personnel that is relatively neutral in politics.
Although officials above the head, deputy director and above of each department are handed over to the parliament by the central government, civil servants below are not more likely to be influenced by the regime. Civil servants and the weak parliament, coupled with the special force of the 13th Division, have formed a loose but unbreakable triangular alliance for a long time. It does not express their loyalty to either party, and the only targets of their loyalty to the Republic itself.
The past military regimes also wanted to change this system. On the verge of success, several adventurers suddenly found that they had lost the legitimacy of their rule and even collapsed. Therefore, this alliance has another name, "The world is full of justice."
Since the Republic of China, the cabinet has been more likely to be continuous, and military personnel have interfered in politics. However, this system has always been maintained. The Republic has been in constant wars for the past century. However, it is truly an indispensable system for the sake of expansion of territory outside and harmony between politics and people inside.
At that time, the Feng army was defeated in the north of Heilongjiang, and the entire army of the two brigades was gone. The war was about to begin. The so-called "the spirit of justice in the world" did not hope that a large-scale civil war would break out at this time, which consumed too much national strength. The critical reason for the defeat in the battle of Silla that year was that the Zhifeng war broke out and the national strength was exhausted, resulting in the failure of the support, which eventually led to the destruction of each division on the expedition.
Chen Yunjie always believed in Guan Yunchang and had a high opinion of himself. When the civil war broke out again, public opinion would be very passive. He did not want to fight this civil war in his heart.
Of course, in addition to the public instruments in the world, everyone has also made a lot of small calculations. Since the Republic of China, the central government has been in a situation where they have not made enough money. The reasons are that each province intercepts financial resources on its own, and the other is that because the military expenditure is too large, the military expenditure in the central budget has never been less than 30%, and at high prices can reach more than 80%.
In this way, the income of civil servants is never guaranteed. It is common for civil servants to be owed more than half a year. During the holidays, some bonuses are given to officials who have worked hard for a year, and the government has to issue government bonds with the national credit as a guarantee. The 75th National Bond Incident, which caused the government crisis in the 70 years of the Republic (the total issuance of this government bond was 7.5 million yuan, so it was named), means that the government diverted the income from the original government bonds that used wages to pay for military expenses, and the civil servants who couldn't make it go on strike, which eventually led to the resignation of the cabinet.
Liu Jingxiao raised more than 20 regiments of troops, and his troops were quite powerful. He was also part of the same remnants of the Hubei army as Li Dingyuan, Jiangsu. The battle to attack Lu would inevitably evolve into another direct battle to Hubei. Even if it is optimistic, the military expenditure would be more than 35 million yuan.
Such a huge expenditure will inevitably squeeze out the milk powder money of civil servants. Since the direct administration, the art of accumulating money has been far inferior to that of the Hubei system. The two companies of China Communications Construction even had advance payments of more than 1,000 yuan, so the voice of civil servants against the war is extremely strong.
Of course, Chen Yunjie and Cao Ming also knocked Liu Jingxiao hard, so before saying goodbye, Chen Yunjie deliberately emphasized his tone to Yang Linyi and warned: "In two days, Liu Jingxiao will give a public speech in Congress. I don't want any accidents..."
