Chapter 271 The Female Supporting Characters in the Republic of China
In just two years, China had gained a powerful female businessman.
She can be found in all walks of life, especially in the weapons and pharmaceutical industries. The guns she developed are even better than those from foreign countries. In medicine, she extracted a series of antibiotics including penicillin, which greatly increased the chances of survival of soldiers.
Business is Ji Lingruo's main profession, and as for the research and development of guns and ammunition, she did some of it and provided the blueprints to those people.
In terms of medicine, she set up several laboratories and provided some ideas and directions for them to work in. Fortunately, everything went as she wished and achieved good results.
As for other industries, involving food, clothing, housing and transportation in life, she also got involved, but the profits these brought her were far less than those of other industries. Most of the things she sold were affordable and easy to use, and ordinary people were happy to buy them at Ji's Company.
The struggle between the North and the South has become increasingly fierce in the past two years. Although Marshal Nie had the help of foreigners, he was still losing ground. He was extremely angry that he was actually going to lose to a young boy.
Last year, he teamed up with his old rival Jing Dashuai. Although they were rivals and enemies, they also had a common enemy, Jing Yunchuan.
One of them was forced to retreat step by step, while the other wanted to take back his own power.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so the two old men hit it off and wanted to work together to destroy Jing Yunchuan. After dealing with him, they would deal with each other.
Who knew that it would fail? Marshal Nie suffered a great loss. He thought that his partner had turned against him. After all, they were father and son. There was no overnight hatred among family members. Maybe they would reconcile and team up to cheat him.
But it was not until several months later that Marshal Nie, who was still gathering his strength, learned the news that Marshal Jing had died on the day they conspired to kill Jing Yunchuan.
It is said that he died in an ignominious way, and Marshal Nie knew without a second thought that it must have been Jing Yunchuan who did it.
Although Marshal Jing was a little confused when he was young and favored his concubine over his wife, Jing Yunchuan's mother chose to hang herself because her husband wanted her to abdicate, leaving behind the young Jing Yunchuan, who was only a few years old.
Later, Jing Yunchuan grew up and became more and more outstanding, threatening the status of the son born to his beloved concubine.
So Marshal Nie wanted Jing Yunchuan to give way to the concubine's son, sent Jing Yunchuan on the road, and sent him to handle a dangerous mission that was almost impossible to complete.
No one expected that Jing Yunchuan would come back alive, and took advantage of this mission to seize some power in the army. Later, he even sidelined Marshal Nie and replaced him.
Marshal Nie secretly lamented Jing Yunchuan's cruelty. Although Jing had done so many wrong things, he was still his father after all, and his crime did not deserve the death penalty.
Jing Yunchuan could originally tolerate this so-called nominal father being alive. His father had lost his power and had to stay with dozens of concubines all day, looking for some beauties to entertain him.
However, this father was not very honest. Not only did he want to cooperate with others to take his life, he also wanted to find someone to make that powerful female businessman his concubine.
Jing Yunchuan just watched his father commit suicide coldly. In the end, Marshal Jing died in disgrace due to a stroke.
"Let's just find a place to bury him." Jing Yunchuan's expression did not change when he heard the news of his father's death.
There is still one small problem that has not been solved, but it will be solved soon.
The map of the Southern Marshal's power has shrunk again and again, leaving only a tiny area.
Nie Qixuan thought that once his leg healed, he could go find Tan Shengnan and marry her.
When his legs were able to walk normally, several concubines swarmed over him, asking him about his well-being and asking him explicitly or implicitly whether he would stop saying these things to them now that he had a new wife.
Nie Qixuan raised the corner of his mouth when he heard that. It was true that he liked to talk about Sheng Nan, but that didn't mean he would be the only one.
His father is the Marshal, and he is going to inherit his mantle. He will also be powerful in the future. How could there be only Tan Shengnan at the center of power?
By then there will be some people who can be won over, and you can also consider taking their daughters in.
These concubines have been with him for many years, so there is no way he could dismiss them. He immediately comforted them: "You are all my sweethearts, I will never abandon you."
Several concubines burst into laughter and said, "That's good. I was worried that you would not want us anymore. When you marry Miss Song Ru, we will treat her well as your wife."
What Song Ru? Nie Qixuan was confused.
Then he learned that his father had arranged a marriage with the Song family and asked him to marry the only daughter of the Song family. You should know that the only daughter of the Song family is extremely strong and a bitch. She is six years older than him and has not yet married.
Marshal Nie didn't want his son to marry such a woman, but he was pressed step by step by Jing Yunchuan, so he had no choice but to choose to form an alliance with others. In the past, others always fawned on him, and he never fawned on others. He just had to bow his head due to the situation.
Of course Nie Qixuan protested, but the protest was ineffective, so he married Song Ru. After the marriage, he treated Song Ru coldly, and a group of concubines also humiliated Song Ru when they saw this.
Song Ru didn't tolerate him and kicked him to the ground, scolded the group of concubines and beat up Nie Qixuan.
She scolded Nie Qixuan for being a useless piece of jewelry, then quickly divorced him and returned to her parents' home, not pampering the Nie family at all.
Without allies and help, Marshal Nie became ruthless and promised a lot of benefits to foreign countries, hoping that those foreigners would help him. However, foreign countries were also fighting a war and no one cared about him at all.
The Nie family was thus swallowed up by the northern forces.
Some foreign countries attempted to drag China into the war, but because of the sophisticated guns, good medical care and well-trained troops, the foreigners did not gain any advantage and instead suffered a great loss.
In a corner that they had never noticed, China had already become a country that could not be underestimated and would no longer allow them to be squeezed and flattened at will.
Jing Yunchuan, who had just returned from a victorious battle, brought her a gift as usual.
A box was handed to Ji Lingruo, "This is for you. I think you will like it."
When Ji Lingruo opened it, she saw a flower made of white jade, but one of the petals was emitting a strange light.
She gave Jing Yunchuan a deep look and asked, "Have you noticed that this petal is different from the other petals?"
"Aren't they all the same?" Jing Yunchuan took another serious look at the gift for Ji Lingruo. He got it by chance, and his intuition told him that Ji Lingruo would like it.
"Yeah, it's all the same."
The north and the south are unified, a democratic republic, people live and work in peace and contentment, and the sea and the river are peaceful. Things are gradually developing in the direction that Ji Lingruo had imagined.
Countless people have finally waited for the peaceful and prosperous era they had hoped for.
