Chapter 123: Celebrity Sanatorium
"How is Brigade Commander Zhu's illness?" Meng Xiang felt a little guilty in his heart, at that time, he borrowed Zhu Chi's name, and the vanguard army established a big banner in the area of Luyang and recruited a lot of people. But at the same time, in order to suppress those people from the Central Army, Zhu Chi, who was in good condition and sometimes bad, was left in the mountains of Luyang.
When the soldiers of the vanguard army were able to basically control the situation, Meng Xiang hurriedly dispatched a transport plane to transport Zhu Chi back to Shandong and placed him in the new hospital at the main base. There are now three hospitals in the main base, one of which is built in a beautiful valley that has been turned into a sanatorium.
"There is no danger to life! It's just that the condition is aggravated by a long delay, and there may be a little hidden danger in the head, and whenever it rains on a cloudy day, there may be some symptoms similar to rheumatic pain. Huang Tao checked the test results and slowly explained.
Meng Xiang was full of regrets.
"However, if you pay attention to recuperation, this may recover. Maybe acupuncture is a little better. Huang Tao saw the regret on Meng Xiang's face, and couldn't help but say that some time ago, he had frequent contact with Sun Heling, who was good at traditional Chinese medicine, although he still debated the advantages and disadvantages of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, but it did not prevent him from recommending the merits of traditional Chinese medicine.
"Dr. Sun?" Traditional Chinese medicine is a little far away from Meng Xiang, who has to hang a bottle even if he has a small cold, and at least eighty percent of all those with ancestral secret recipes are Mongolian goods.
"Chinese medicine?" Meng Xiang also knew that traditional Chinese medicine was indeed very effective, but the fast pace of life in later generations made people need one or two needles to be effective, and high-dose injections that did not delay time, as for the damage to health, it was something that was said after getting old. If Meng Xiang hadn't learned about the activities of supporting traditional Chinese culture, he wouldn't have much impression of traditional Chinese medicine.
"Traditional culture must be preserved!" He whispered to himself. Now it's just about saving your life, and in the future, when you look at the whole of China, the rise of civilization will need the cornerstone of your own unique civilization.
"Dr. Sun's acupuncture is really good!" Xie Chengrui, who heard Zhu Chi coming over, nodded in approval.
After the last breakthrough in Nanjing, he was seriously injured and seriously ill, and he was brought back by the vanguard army for treatment. Yi Anhua did not collapse in Nanjing, and he was also injured, but he had been discharged from the hospital and returned to the Central Army a week ago.
This made Meng Xiang sigh, he still couldn't keep the big god because his temple was small! He didn't forcibly keep him, and a brigade commander, after he went back, on the premise that the Central Army suffered a lot of losses, maybe he would be the position of division commander. What can he give to others? After all, the stage of the Central Army is larger. The previous constant hints have been ignored by others, so why bother to pierce this layer of affection again? Keep this incense, and we will meet in the future, maybe you will be able to benefit that day.
Xie Chengrui's recovery is almost over, this time Meng Xiangxue is obedient, and keeps asking Rabbit Yi and others to delay him for time. What kind of test to do today, what kind of test to do tomorrow, anyway, Meng Xiang has personally experienced it twice in later generations, and he can be regarded as understanding the routine.
"General Xie should recuperate with peace of mind, and when his injuries are completely healed, he can continue to gallop across the battlefield to kill the Japanese invaders!" At the beginning, Xie Chengrui was misinformed that he had died, and the authorities posthumously presented him with a major general, but after learning the exact news that he was still alive, the rank of this major general was to be hung all the time, and he did not move again. Meng Xiang knew the reason, but he didn't know the taboos, he only knew that the general was always better.
Pharmacist Tang, who was following beside him, touched his forehead, but then shook his fan and ignored it.
Xie Chengrui hasn't gone back to report yet, his identity has been hanging up, and he is also anxious. But it was useless to be anxious, and in my spare time, I couldn't help but be interested in the vanguard army a lot. He had heard about the Vanguard Army, and was surprised by the rapid rise of this then-only local militia group.
The more he learned about the Vanguard Army, the more surprised he became, such a force could definitely be called a big warlord. Although it does not have the profound heritage of the Gui faction, the Jin faction, the Northwest Army and other factions, in terms of military strength, it can definitely dominate those small and medium-sized local warlords, and after occupying the territory around Jinan, there is already the possibility of replacing Han Fuyu.
The central government will definitely not sit idly by and watch this, and he is also very embarrassed by some hints from the vanguard army that has the grace to save his life. It is not a question of position, but the general righteousness of the central government, and the elimination of warlords and the maintenance of national unity are the most important things. He still appreciates some of the practices of the vanguard so far, but this does not hide their attitude of separating one side.
In embarrassment, he chose to ignore the confusion and continue to recuperate.
Meng Xiang learned from the news collected by Rat Er later that Xie Chengrui was actually a double bachelor from the French Artillery School and the Ordnance University, and had been an instructor at the Tangshan Artillery School for several years. This made Meng Xiang unexpected.
"The 41st Division has just set up an artillery training class, and I hope General Xie will give more guidance in his spare time!" Meng Xiang said with a smile. It is far from enough for artillery to rely on the cultivation of clones, and it is thanks to Deng Dayan that he has attracted a group of disciples and grandchildren to raise half of the country, and they can be regarded as solving the urgent need.
However, with the continuous increase of artillery, the shortage of gunners is becoming more and more serious, and many of the current gunners are some empirical schools piled up with shells. The last time, there were some problems with Huang Huamin's intensive experiments, but they were masked by the power of the dense ammunition. However, Kong Ci submitted a report that it was necessary to conduct all-round training and training of artillery.
This is where the artillery training course appeared.
"I've heard the name of the Pioneer Artilleryman for a long time, and I will definitely visit it if I have the chance!" Xie Chengrui said politely, but he was really curious, it was rumored that the vanguard army actually had a lot of heavy artillery, which was rare for ordinary local warlords.
"Let's take another turn!" Out of the ward, Meng Xiang said again. Since he came here once today, there hasn't been much movement from the front-line devils, and he also has time to visit many celebrities here.
The news of the advanced equipment and the best medical conditions of the pioneer military hospital was deliberately publicized and soon became known to most people, at least among the middle and upper classes. A good hospital is a good nest to attract golden phoenixes. As long as the talent arrives, even if it can't be recruited, it can recover some more talent losses for Huaxia. With the war, the medical conditions in the country deteriorated suddenly, and many celebrities died at this time due to various reasons.
The hospital in this small valley is a specially built phoenix nest. Recently, there have been a lot of people living in it, and a few of them are familiar to Meng Xiang.
"Let's go to Xiong Lao's place first!" Meng Xiang suddenly thought that Xiong Xiling was recuperating here after his condition improved. For Zhou Bai recommended by Xiong Xiling, Meng Xiang was still very satisfied. At least he is very proficient in economics, and although he has some idealistic ideas, he definitely does not bring them into his work. The economy needs to be rigorous, and Zhou Bai made overall arrangements at the beginning, as if he was a different person, definitely not like the harmonizer who shouted about the world of Datong.
Going to Xiong Xiling is a visit with the surname of etiquette, Xiong Xiling has been avoiding politics for a long time, after a few polite conversations with Meng Xiang. This time, it gave Meng Xiang a topic of substantive surname, tobacco monopoly taxes.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Xiong Xiling became interested in the tobacco monopoly system in the West when he visited the United States. After coming back, he repeatedly made statements about the implementation of tobacco monopoly, but it was not until Yuan Shikai came to power that it was taken seriously. However, under the dumping of foreign cigarettes, the national power is not yet preserved, let alone the control of foreign cigarettes. With Xiong Xiling's resignation, this matter has also been shelved for a long time.
Even now, it is still the world of foreign tobacco. Jane's Brothers' tobacco company was swallowed by Song Ziwen just last year, and Jian Yujie was sidelined by power. A banner of the national tobacco industry fell like this. Song Ziwen's idea of the state managing the tobacco industry was correct, but in the end, huge wealth was transferred from the state to a few individuals, which he was also helpless.
The huge profits of tobacco are something that makes everyone want to be tempted, even in the United States, some people jokingly say, "The United States started with tobacco". It is not an exaggeration to say that tobacco cultivation led to the massive use of black slaves in the United States, and until 1883, tobacco taxes accounted for more than one-third of the U.S. treasury that year.
In fact, as long as you think of the future generations, the profits and taxes of the tobacco industry have always accounted for about one-tenth of China's, you will know where the huge profits lie.
In later generations, Marlboro, which cost one penny, would be sold for one dollar, and this kind of huge profit made Meng Xiang look up to the sky and sigh: "Where can the arms business compare to the fireworks business!" ”
Qingzhou is now a major tobacco grower in China, and Linzi even has a national tobacco research institute. Even in later generations, the tobacco here is relatively famous in the north. Xiong Xiling's meaning had already made Meng Xiang very clear, and he still ignored something.
"Next, take a look!" Meng Xiang was full of tobacco calculations, and walked out of the door in a daze.
Li Yizhi, a water conservancy expert and educator and pioneer of modern water conservancy construction in China, had just been sent over due to a serious illness, and had just escaped the safe period. In order to take care of the patient's rest, Meng Xiang, who had something on his mind, didn't say hello for long and left.
"Next!"
Meng Xiang smiled first when he saw the list, and the next one to visit was definitely a big warlord.
Cao Kun has recently been suffering from pneumonia. I heard that the hospital of the vanguard army had a special medicine, so I rushed over.
For Cao Kun, Meng Xiang, who accepted the propaganda of later history books, is not very cold, but he can withstand the pressure and temptation of himself and not be a Han anniversary, which is still very admirable.
In the past, the base was able to produce sulfonamides, and it is important to know that sulfonamides were not extracted until 1937, and now is the time of popularity. There is still a shortage in China, but the base hospital can provide a large number of them. It is still very effective in treating some enteritis, pneumonia and so on.
Cao Kun was treated for a short time, and although he did not say that the root was broken, he was much better. He could also buy sulfapyridine in Beijing and Tianjin, but he didn't use it in such a large dose. This turnaround gave him a great boost in confidence, and he introduced many new customers to the vanguard army in the future.
"Next!"
"Huh? Rong Zongjing"
