Rebirth of the Northern Giants

Ye Zhikui became interested, and he still admires the leftist representative of the Kuomintang who was assassinated in history. Of course, Liao Zhongkai is still a seventeen or eighteen-year-old returned overseas Chinese boy.

As soon as Liao Zhongkai entered the door, he looked around curiously, without the slightest nervousness or fear. After picking up the paper, he sat upright and quickly glanced at several examiners. Although the middle one was young, he was sitting in the main seat. The examiners were also very imposing, obviously they were battle-tested people, but they all had some respect for the one in the middle.

Not long after the establishment of the military government, there are many young generals in it, but the only one who can admire the old generals is the legendary generalissimo. What's more, Liao Zhongkai saw a newspaper not long ago, and Ye Zhikui happened to be wearing a pair of sunglasses. Comparing the two, Liao Zhongkai can be very sure that that person is Ye Zhikui.

After reacting, Liao Zhongkai's originally relaxed mood also brought some tension.

"Liao Zhongkai, growing up in the United States, what do you think of the complicated domestic situation?" Wen Baishan asked first.

Liao Zhongkai did not make a long speech, but replied briefly: "China's thousands of years of tradition will not allow the country to be divided. I believe that the military government has the ability to achieve substantial unification. This is why I am here."

Ye Zhikui thought for a while, and then asked, "Is the American system of separation of powers better than Japan's constitutional monarchy?"

Liao Zhongkai replied in words: "When I first returned to China, I thought that only the separation of powers system in the United States was an ideal system. However, in the past two years in China, I have seen the situation clearly. The wisdom of the Chinese people has not yet been enlightened. There is no soil for the separation of the three powers. If it is insisted on, it may plunge China into chaos and division. This is something no Chinese person wants to see. A constitutional monarchy can concentrate the power of a country and carry out top-down development. The following reforms, as long as the monarch is wise, can make this country catch up with other countries in a short period of time, just like the Meiji Emperor in Japan. However, students believe that with the enlightenment of the people's wisdom, the concentration of power in the hands of a few people will cause various contradictions , hindering the development of society.”

Ye Zhikui was noncommittal, and asked an unrelated question: "A piece of rope with different thicknesses takes an hour to burn. How can I know that it burned for half an hour?"

Bao BuTong and Wen BaiShan bowed their heads in deep thought, obviously not thinking of the answer for a moment.

Liao Zhongkai thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he replied, "Burn both sides together."

The examiners Bao Budong and Wen Baishan blushed slightly, the examinees came up with the answer and they, the examiners, were still thinking.

After all, he grew up in the United States, and his way of thinking is relatively new. Ye Zhikui said with satisfaction: "Okay, you can go back and wait for the results."

Liao Zhongkai stood up, and the newly bought Western clothes were also hung up.

After a moment of surprise, he saw a new chair not far away, so he picked up the chair and changed it.

Lin Jiuyan was tinkering, he just replaced it with a new one, and the judgment was judged. Of course, the society needs all kinds of talents, otherwise everyone would replace the chair with a new one, wouldn't the old chair be wasted.

Not long after Liao Zhongkai walked out, a handsome young man walked in. He walked with small steps. When he saw the scattered papers on the floor, he not only picked them up and put them away, but also found a piece of wood to press on them. He thought it was blown by the wind, but the delicate thoughts still satisfied several examiners.

The young man bent down slightly, and greeted with a smile: "Hello, examiners."

Then he took out a handkerchief and wiped the chair lightly before sitting down.

"Qiu Xuanqing, whose ancestral home is in Shanyin, Zhejiang Province, is good at poetry and poetry, is good at horse riding and fencing, self-evaluation, both civil and military, not young, but has a good tone." Ye Zhikui said with a smile while holding his resume.

Qiu Xuanqing looked at Ye Zhikui, and replied: "It's not about age, the examiner is young, but he already holds a high position. Would you say that you are not as good as everyone here?"

Ye Zhikui's smile stagnated on his face, and he played with his hair mockingly, Wen Baishan smiled secretly, it is rare to see Ye Shuai choked to the point of speechlessness.

"Okay, Candidate Qiu Xuanqing, your grades in several subjects are very good, but your physical condition needs to be checked. The school hopes that you will think about it more. After all, military school students will eventually be assigned to the army and then go to the battlefield." Bao Differ relieved Ye Zhikui. said embarrassingly.

Qiu Xuanqing raised her eyebrows, raised her head and said, "I believe that fighting is mainly based on the head rather than the body."

Seeing his actions, Ye Zhikui felt awkward, this young man was too angry.

Qiu Xuanqing, Qiu Xuanqing, a light flashed in Ye Zhikui's mind, he opened his eyes wide and stared at Qiu Xuanqing, isn't Qiu Xuanqing the name of Qiu Jin?

This Jianhu female chivalrous woman has a bold personality, practices literature and martial arts, and often refers to herself as Hua Mulan and Qin Liangyu. She likes men's clothing. In the original history, she married someone in 1896.

Thin skin and tender meat, this is absolutely unmistakable, it must be Qiu Jin.

Ye Zhikui, who understood, wrote the word 'woman' on the paper, and secretly handed it to Wen Baishan.

Wen Baishan was shocked when he saw Ye Zhikui's words. If it spread, it would embarrass the National Defense University. It didn't even know the male and female status of the candidates, so she let her in.

Wen Baishan looked at Qiu Jin suspiciously, and finally had to admire Ye Shuai, who really lived among the flowers, with a pair of piercing eyes, and a deep knowledge.

Wen Baishan kept his composure. Seeing that Bao BuTong was still asking questions, he quickly coughed and interrupted: "Candidate Qiu Xuanqing, although you did well in the written test, considering your physical condition, the school has decided not to grant you admitted."

Qiu Jin frowned, and retorted: "Although my physical condition is not the best among all the examinees, I am not the worst either. I believe I can keep up with the training progress. Examiner, you use this reason to persuade me to leave. I am too one-sided and arbitrary, I will protest to the military government, and if it has not been resolved, I will also protest to the Generalissimo at the gate of the Forbidden City."

Wen Baishan supported his forehead with a headache, sometimes being persistent is a mistake, Bao Budong also looked at Wen Baishan in surprise, but he thought Qiu Xuanqing was pretty good.

"Candidate Qiu Xuanqing, are you a daughter?" Wen Baishan had no choice but to use his trump card.

Several examiners were in an uproar, looking at Qiu Jin and waiting for the answer.

Seeing that her secret was exposed, Qiu Jin was not very panicked, but instead asked openly, "Examiners, does it say in the admissions brochure of the National Defense University that it only recruits men?"

Although it was not written, it is a customary rule to only recruit men. No one expected that there would be women who would come to sign up and pass the written test.

Seeing that several examiners were speechless, Qiu Jin continued: "Does the military government advocate equality between men and women? Could it be that the military school recruits men and women without equality? Does the military government say one thing and do another in an attempt to fool the public?"

A big hat was buckled down, and several examiners were also embarrassed.

Bao Budong had to say: "Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for women joining the army, and life in the military academy is not very convenient, so,"

Qiu Jin interrupted: "There were Hua Mulan and Qin Liangyu in ancient times. May I ask this examiner, what do you mean there is no precedent?"

Bao BuTong was restless, neither would he return, nor would he not return.

Wen Baishan said stubbornly: "The National Defense Military Academy only recruits men, and it will be announced later."

"If the order is changed day and night, the military government will not be afraid of losing its prestige. If you can't make up your mind, I will ask the principal personally."

Qiu Jin had a determined face, and no one would doubt her words.

Ye Zhikui had no choice but to say: "Since you have the heart for the country, the National Defense University will not let you down, but the military academy training will treat everyone equally in the future, and you will not be exempted in the slightest because you are a daughter."

"Grand Marshal, coeducational school, the influence on the military government is not very good." Bao differently said in a worried voice.

"Empty the house on the west side and use it as a female dormitory." Ye Zhikui also had some headaches, but he believed that this was the best solution so far.

Seeing that Ye Zhikui had made up his mind, several examiners stopped persuading him.

Qiu Jin watched several people whispering on it, and finally it seemed that the young man in the middle had made up his mind, so he couldn't help being a little surprised, and looked at Ye Zhikui with wonderful eyes.

Wen Baishan said with some annoyance: "Okay, this candidate, you can go down and wait for the news. The National Defense University does not discriminate against women, so you can rest assured."

Qiu Jin was about to stand up when Ye Zhikui hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, chair."

Before the words were finished, there was a hiss, Qiu Jin quickly grabbed the clothes, blushed slightly, and walked away quickly.

Ye Zhikui and the others were dumbfounded, it seems that they will not be able to play the trick of nails in the future. .

Volume [-] The Wind and Cloud of the Capital

Sichuan, the Land of Abundance, Chengdu Mansion, the residence of the Governor of Sichuan.

Kui Jun, governor of Sichuan, is a Manchurian Zhengbai Banner, Mongolian. After Ye Zhikui entered the Forbidden City, on the one hand, he contacted some Manchu remnants everywhere, trying to restore the Qing Dynasty.

Liu Kunyi, governor of Liangjiang, and Zhang Zhidong, governor of Huguang, did everything he dared not do.

What attracted the attention of the governors of other provinces was that after Kui Jun expelled the military government clerks stationed in Sichuan and closed down some military government industries such as the Asian Bank, he even clamored that Ye Zhikui was a villain of the country, and boldly speculated that Ye Zhikui and the Manchu royal family had met He couldn't escape the massacre, and he hated Ye Zhikui's subjugation of the Boxers even more. He called Ye Zhikui a complete hypocrite.
