At the end of 1908, the Battle of Kinshasa finally came to an end. First www.biquge.info, the 20,000 French troops who came to the aid of Kinshasa were besieged halfway, and the French hurriedly sent 8,000 troops to Africa in an effort to open the gap and rescue them.

The French army did not expect that the black army chose to encircle the point to send reinforcements, they used a small number of troops to contain the besieged French army, and the main force was secretly transferred out of the encirclement and besieged the French reinforcements halfway. A bloody battle was fought, and 8,000 French reinforcements were wiped out. The besieged French learned that something was wrong when they received the 'telegram for help' from the reinforcements, and they immediately broke through the siege and went to converge.

At this time, the besieged army had been in the African jungle for two months, and the lack of food and disease had greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of this army. After the black army annihilated the 8,000 French troops, they suffered heavy losses, but they showed the courage and perseverance of continuous battles and fought a decisive battle with the besieged French army.

At first, the two sides were evenly matched, and the French army was well-trained after all, and gradually gained the upper hand. Seeing that it was possible to break through the defense line of the black army and fight a bloody way, the sugar cane knife black uncle and black aunt who came from all over the country joined the battle group. The first few thousand blacks who arrived failed to turn the tide of the war, but dragged the French at great cost. The 50,000 sugar cane knives that arrived in two days became the straw that broke the camel's back, and the French army finally collapsed, with less than 200 lucky people escaping their lives.

The morale of the black army was so high that they used captured French artillery to join the black army besieging Kinshasa. The Belgian colonists in Kinshasa had run out of food, and under heavy shelling and the fierce onslaught of the black troops, the Kinshasa stronghold was breached, and the Belgian colonists were wiped out like the French army.

France and Belgium immediately lodged a strong protest with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, accusing the Democratic Republic of privately ordering the East African Security Army, which was formed by blacks, to participate in the fighting. The Minchao responded: Neither China nor the East African administrative region has issued such an order. Perhaps a small number of blacks in the East African administrative region joined as volunteers out of affection for their fellow citizens. Those people are all personal choices and have nothing to do with the Minchao.

The incident shook Europe. What surprised the Europeans was not that France or Belgium lost to the Minchao, but that the blacks could raise a black army of 100,000 men. This black army could not only annihilate the 28,000-strong French army in front and back of Africa itself, but also break through strong fortresses. If this becomes the norm, the danger of European colonization of Africa will increase dramatically, and the cost of colonization will skyrocket.

The Battle of Kinshasa also provided another situation, in which the black army could still be considered a fighting force even if the black army was not as effective as the elite French army. Even in Europe, many countries besieging 28,000 elite French troops with 100,000 men may not be able to achieve victory. It is even more impossible to achieve complete annihilation.

No matter how excited the Europeans were, the central government of the Republic of China did not have the slightest interest in it. Recently, there have been cases of nurses hanging themselves in several hospitals in Tianjin, and there have also been cases of nurses hanging themselves at the entrance of the hospitals. Because there were so many people I saw, I couldn't even block the news.

With reports, there will be follow-up fermentation, and all kinds of rumors flew around in Tianjin for a while. Stories of joy and horror have spread to Beijing. As a last resort, the local police publicly stated that the poor nurses who hanged themselves were all Japanese, and they all died by hanging, and they had not been subjected to other illegal violations.

Since someone dares to speak, someone dares to continue. The hiring of thousands of Japanese nurses in Tianjin was exposed, and the students who had made trouble earlier shouted the slogan 'No foreigners are allowed to take jobs in China', but many onlookers at the time could not understand it. Now that the chain of evidence is complete, the news is flying again. Shen Xin, who had been waiting for a long time, finally mentioned this matter at the Central Committee.

Yao Bang's son criticized Tiaozi for Tianjin to accept Japanese nurses, but it was not widely spread. The members of the Central Committee are so busy, where can they have the spirit to listen to such. Shen Xin brought this matter out, and the Central Committee was shaken.

The Minister of Health and the Secretary of the Party Committee are both members of the Central Committee, and hundreds of people have looked at them together, and although these two can still sit in their chairs, their faces have become very ugly. After glancing at each other, the secretary of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Health got up and said, "I don't know about this, since there is such a thing, I will investigate carefully." How can there be so many Japanese in our hospital. ”

The secretary of the party committee of the Ministry of Health made such a statement, and the members of the Central Committee were naturally unwilling to pursue it meaninglessly. At this moment, the foreign minister stood up and spoke, "I personally don't think there is any need to fire these Japanese nurses immediately, if such a big thing is made, it will not benefit China and Japan." Even if you can't use it in Asia, you can still send it to Africa. On the African side, it was said that there was a need for experienced nurses. ”

The foreign minister came out to make a statement, and the members of the Central Committee had no intention of objecting. In fact, some Japanese female nurses already work part-time as private nurses, and some high-ranking officials have hired such nurses for the elderly. After decades of gender equality and industrialization, Chinese little girls are okay with ordinary work, let them serve people, ...... forget it. The Japanese nurses are well-behaved, polite, and hardworking, and the officials who hired the Japanese nurses are very satisfied.

Shen Xin waited for everyone to finish expressing their opinions before he continued: "These nurses all rely on labor to eat, and I have no opinion on them. The little girls worked in our Minchao and finally got hanged themselves, and I sympathized with them. Since I sympathized with them, I also looked into it, and I got such a data. I'd like to ask you to take a look. ”

Some of the printed leaflets were distributed to everyone, and everyone was stunned when they took a look. The leaflet was printed with the content of how the Japanese labor exporter and Yao Bang's son divided the money. The little girls earn 2,400 a month, which is 4,000 yuan if you count overtime pay. The money is not sent to the Japanese nurses, but to the Japanese account. Japan's 'labor export' took 2,000, Yao Bang took 1,000, and in the end, only 1,000 fell into the hands of the little girl. The hospital offers cheap canteen supplies and also dormitories. Even so, the income of a thousand yuan is too small in Tianjin. In Tianjin, you can earn more than 1,500 yuan by doing any job.

"I haven't seen anything like this in 50 years since I followed the Governor Revolution." Shen Xin's voice was cold and ruthless, "Even in the North American War, we hired a Japanese servant army, and the Japanese side also asked for half of the so-called labor fees, but we gave a lot of the rest to the Japanese servant army." Not only that, but nurses have allowances, and those who go to war have loot collection. They make a lot of money overall. Taking three-quarters like this is completely unconscionable. What do you think? ”

When there is a fool in the Central Committee, everyone fully agrees with Shen Xin's words, Yao Bang's son is doing things like this, which is beyond the bottom line of everyone's acceptance. However, the dissatisfaction with Yao Bang's son has nothing to do with unconditional support for Shen Xin, and the people who speak in this venue are all trying to achieve their own goals. No one thought that Shen Xin's purpose was just to bring down Yao Bang's son.

Some people waited to hear what Shen Xin said next, and those who didn't want to cause trouble couldn't help but want to find Governor Wei Zedu. However, Weeser's position was empty. Only then did everyone remember that the second lady Li Yifang was seriously ill, and Governor Wei Ze had just returned to Nanjing recently. In recent years, it has been rare to see the Governor in this position, and some comrades suddenly found themselves accustomed to such a situation. There are also some comrades who wonder if Governor Wei Zedu is planning something.

Wei Ze didn't plan anything at this time, and the beds in the senior ward were well designed. Wei Ze asked Li Yifang to lie down and washed her hair. Drying her hair with a hair dryer, Weser took an apple and began to peel it. There were only two people in the room, and Wei Ze said while peeling: "I'm not busy lately, so don't think about it so much." I don't feel at ease with you, and I'm not at ease if I don't accompany you. ”

Li Yifang knew that Wei Ze was still a little angry about Li Yifang's words ten years ago. She smiled effortlessly, "Wei Ze, after so many years, you still have the kind of temperament that you can't help but argue a few words when you feel sorry. ”

Weser didn't refute it, in fact, as soon as he said it, he understood the paradox inside. If Wei Ze really accompanied Li Yifang to feel at ease, the two would not have lived apart for so many years.

"Wei Ze, you call Wei Kun back. I want to meet him. Li Yifang continued to say laboriously.

"What nonsense. Your health will be fine, and when you are well, we will call Wei Kun back. Wei Zewen said.

"You are seventy-five, and I am over seventy. At this age, I have nothing to fear. Wei Kun was in such a hurry when he went to Africa, and I still had something in my heart that I wanted to talk to him. It will take you a day to get from Beijing to Nanjing, and it will take several days for him to come back from Africa. If you don't, I'll send him a telegram now. After saying that, Li Yifang was a little out of breath.

Wei Ze hurriedly called the secretary in, "You send a telegram to Wei Kun, tell him that his mother is sick, and let him come back immediately." ”

Waiting for the secretary to go out, Wei Ze couldn't help but gently press Li Yifang's hand, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Yifang, I know I'm not a good person. I've killed a lot of people with my own hands, I've had to kill a lot of people, and I've ordered a lot of killings with a clear goal. So I feel that I have seen through life and death, because I know that I can't be the master of my own life and death, and I don't feel life and death at all. But now I just want you to live a long life from the bottom of my heart, and as long as I think that you may not be there, I feel uncomfortable in my heart and don't dare to think about it at all. I still feel like I owe you too much, and I feel like I don't ...... to myself."

"Don't think so!" Li Yifang interrupted Wei Ze's words. After a pause, Li Yifang continued: "I was lonely when I was with you, and I didn't know where to go in the future at that time. Looking back now, in those days, I still wanted to have a good place, but I thought too much. After I followed you, life was actually much better than I thought. You are not a person who only has yourself in your heart, even if you don't have much of me, but you can also put me at ease. I know. Others say that you are not with me, but in fact, we both know that it is because you don't want to embarrass me. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yifang gently touched the back of Wei Ze's hand. "Wei Ze, you're right, it's God's will to die. It's no use worrying about us. At this time, you don't dare to think about me dying, and it will be uncomfortable to think about it. That's the truth. You stay with me and wait for Wei Kun to come back. I can see the two of you and two other children sitting in front of me together. After listening to what I said in my heart, I had a clear conscience, and I could die at any time. ”

Wei Ze listened quietly, did not interject, did not move, and tears suddenly welled up. For the sad things that made him cry, Wei Ze was surprised and a little happy. In any case, Weeser thinks that the tears at this time prove that he is still a normal human being.
