As Chai Dongliang expected, the listing of aminobenzenesulfonamide shocked the world, and the telegram to buy the right to use the patent flew to Anqing like snowflakes, and was pressed to the bottom of the filing cabinet by the Military Advisory Office. It would be a fool not to make a lot of money in the early stage without relying on the advantage of technological monopoly! As for the transfer of technology patents, that's a story for another time.

Chai Dongliang knows that the technical secrets of sulfamine will not be kept for too long, so he spares no effort to recruit distributors all over the world, this new drug with strong antibacterial ability immediately becomes the new favorite of doctors and patients all over the world, if you don't prescribe a few tablets of sulfonamide to the patient's prescription, the patient will scold the street.

The production capacity of Anqing Sanyi Pharmaceutical Factory has rapidly expanded tenfold, and the output of 500,000 bottles per day will be able to meet the strong demand of the world, and the sales of the new antimalarial drug artemisinin are also extremely considerable, and the demand in Southeast Asia, India and Guangzhou, Guangzhou, and Guangxi is almost unlimited.

It's a fart to say that the money is going to be gold, and now Sanyi Pharmaceutical Factory has reached hundreds of thousands of dollars every time it earns money!

With this windfall, Anqing, Wuhu, Nanchang, Fengtian, Baotou ??? All areas controlled by the Jianghuai Army are recruiting troops with great fanfare. The Anqing Military Advisory Office drew up the latest plan for the expansion of the army, and Anhui Province was expanded to four divisions, two divisions in Jiangxi, two divisions in Fengtian, two divisions in Mongolia, and two divisions in Jiangsu. The strength of the Jianghuai Army has more than tripled, and after the expansion is completed, the strength of the army will reach 120,000, only 40,000 less than that of the Beiyang Army. The Wuhu Arsenal and the Shanghai Guanghua Arsenal can finally let go of their hands and feet and work overtime to produce the standard weapons of the Jianghuai Army, such as the Hanfeng I-type rifle and the Depp light machine gun.

After the Jianghuai army killed Zhang Xun, they sent troops across the river to attack Xuzhou, and after annihilating the remnants of the pigtail army, the entire Jiangsu Province was under Chai Dongliang's control. Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu, was coerced by Huang Xing and others to announce his reading power during the "Second Revolution", and this old bureaucrat also had a really strong ability to look at the style, and as soon as he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately fled to the Shanghai Concession and announced that he supported the central government's political axe and opposed the separatism. After Lin Hu's first brigade took Nanjing, Chai Dongliang resisted the pressure from within the Jianghuai Army and sent someone to invite Cheng Dequan back from Shanghai and let him continue to serve as the governor of Jiangsu.

After the Xinhai Revolution, Cheng Dequan, the former governor of Jiangsu in the Qing Dynasty, was bought by Yu Qiaqing with a sharp mouth of one million silver dollars, and announced that Jiangsu Reading Power was not released without letting go, but from that moment on, the affairs of Jiangsu were no longer under his control, and he had already been accustomed to the puppet role, as long as the Nanjing Governor's Mansion still let him live, he was satisfied, but he did not fight for power and profit, this time he returned to Nanjing under the bayonet protection of the Jianghuai Army, and the first thing he did was to throw most of his furniture into the Ma'anshan Industrial Park, which was only sixty miles away from Nanjing, contentedly waiting for the dividends, it can be regarded as tied to Chai Dongliang's chariot.

The white wolf bandits in the Central Plains became more and more ferocious, robbed many foreigners' properties, and captured a large number of foreign missionaries and doctors as their talismans, which made the powers very dissatisfied, and the ministers of various countries issued a solemn warning to Yuan Shikai, and Yanjing, who could not bear the pressure, ordered Duan Qirui, who was appointed as the governor of Hubei, to personally take on the task of suppressing bandits. Duan Qirui had no choice but to reluctantly leave Wuhan, and he was succeeded by Duan Zhigui, His Royal Highness Yuan Shikai.

Duan Qirui is the No. 2 person in Beiyang, except for Yuan Shikai who can command the generals in Beiyang, the second is him, Yuan Shikai doesn't want this godson-in-law to be in charge of the military in person. What's more, there are too many soldiers in Hubei, the Beiyang Army has 6,000 people, and Li Yuanhong's stay in Hubei has four divisions and 50,000 troops. If Duan Qirui commanded this army of nearly 56,000 people, and Hubei Province provided him with food and straw, Yuan Shikai would probably sleep with two eyes open.

As soon as the old Duan left on the front foot, Xiao Duan couldn't wait to rush over, Wuhan is the thoroughfare of nine provinces, the place where wealth in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River gathers, Duan Zhigui was awarded the position of governor of Heilongjiang by Yuan Shikai a few years ago, and drank cold wind outside the plug, and now he suddenly got such a beautiful difference, and he was happy with snot bubbles.

Just when Duan Zhigui was wantonly looting in Hubei, the Yangtze River Fleet, which had been dormant for a long time, suddenly went into a frenzy, went down the Jiujiang River, and took control of the Yangtze River channel in one fell swoop. The Yangtze River Fleet cut off the Yangtze River ferry on the Jinghan Road without firing a single shot, so that the 20,000 Beiyang troops in Jiangnan could no longer get any supplies. Lu Kai's Second Division of the Jianghuai Army was approaching Hubei step by step, Feng Guozhang and Lei Zhenchun intended to preserve their strength, and were unwilling to fight hard with the Jianghuai Army, so they took the property looted from Jiangnan and retreated from Hubei into Hunan step by step. Duan Zhigui panicked and kept sending telegrams to Yuan Shikai, asking for reinforcements. Yuan Shikai looked at his telegram with cold hands and feet, regretting that he shouldn't have let Lao Duan go to Xinyang to suppress bandits, with him in Hubei, I'm afraid that the Jianghuai Army may not dare to be so aggressive, although Lao Duan is not very reliable, but after all, he is a godson-in-law, at least a little stronger than Feng Guozhang and Lei Zhenchun??? As for the small section, that's a waste!

Baotou and Fengtian are also building industrial parks, both of which are good places for coal and iron, especially near Baotou, where a thin layer of surface soil is peeled off, which is a thick coal seam, and the grade of iron ore is not bad in China. Baotou Industrial Park is dominated by coal and steel complexes, and at the same time refractory factories, coking plants and other supporting enterprises have been built, supplemented by tractor manufacturing plants, Fengtian is built into an automobile city and a military industrial city according to the plan, the engineers and technicians of the British Rolls-Royce Company and the engineers hired by Detroit in the United States are arguing over the technical standards of the engine, and the production of arms has adopted the Russian standards without any suspense, except for the small production of the standard configuration weapons of the Jianghuai Army to meet the use of the troops. The main products are still the Mosinagan rifle and the two-wheeled Maxin.

After the expansion of the army, the battalion commander was promoted to regiment commander, and the regiment commander was promoted to division commander and brigade commander. The regiment commanders and brigade commanders of the Jianghuai Army kept sending people to the Military Advisory Office to inquire about the news, and to test which province the soldiers should refer to next.

Kuang Haishan was promoted from a new army officer in charge of one hundred and ten soldiers to the Mongolian reclamation envoy in less than two years, and Gu Mazi served as the governor of Fengtian. The regiment commanders and brigade commanders of the Jianghuai Army all felt that it was their turn to be the next to take charge alone.

Heroes emerge in troubled times, and without the cooperation of the times, no matter how great the ability is, there is no place for it.

Just under the excellent situation of the Jianghuai army's triumphant advance all the way, the Military Advisory Office suddenly issued an order that the army should not march further south, and the plan to attack Wuchang was suspended.

The military law of the Jianghuai Army was so strict that it could be described as harsh, and no one dared to challenge the authority of military law, so Lu Kai's second division had to stop and stationed under Huanggang City to look at the three towns of Wuhan from afar. Duan Zhigui, who was cowering in Wuchang City, was also relieved, and took advantage of this rare gap to review the troops, trying to boost morale.

In the Anqing Military Advisory Mansion, Tang Hualong was enthusiastically pointing out the country on the sand table.

"Governor Chaidu, please see, the Yangtze River fleet starts from Jiujiang, Shuojiang River goes up Huangshi to Wuhan, the army can start from Hefei, pass through Lu'an and go to Macheng, cut off the road for the Beiyang Army to return north, then Duan Zhigui only has one way to flee south into Hunan, Hunan is Huang Xing's old nest, Tan Yanmin has been deeply rooted in business for many years, Feng Guozhang and Lei Zhenchun have entered Hunan, plus Duan Zhigui's troops, where can Hunan afford to raise so many soldiers? In his capacity as vice chairman of the Kuomintang, the governor ascended to the heights and called out that the military and civilians of Hunan would inevitably respond en masse, and the Sanxiang transmission could be determined. At this point, the two lakes will be in the hands of the governor, and the next step is to take Guangdong! ”

Chai Dongliang said with a smile: "What Speaker Tang said is reasonable, but I just want to take Hubei as soon as possible now, and send Speaker Tang to be appointed as the governor of Hubei, I don't know what you think?" ”

Tang Hualong was overjoyed in his heart, but he shirked it freely: "How can Hualong be virtuous, how can he be the governor of a province?" What's more, Hualong went to the governor at the end of his life, just seeking a place to live and live, and he just lived for the rest of his life. ”

Chai Dongliang smiled and said: "Speaker Tang was originally a celebrity, a top student of the University of Political Science and Law, and the speaker of the Hubei Council Bureau at the end of the Qing Dynasty, in order to urge the Qing court to implement constitutional government, he launched four congressional petitions at the cost of his life. After the success of the revolution, he did not take credit, and resigned from the post of governor of Hubei several times, and loyally assisted Vice President Li Yuanhong??? Speaker Tang's character and knowledge have made Chai unreachable, you have taken the maintenance of constitutionalism as your own responsibility all your life, this time because Yuan Shikai used the hooligan 'civic group' to coerce the Congress, and you resigned from the post of speaker of the House of Representatives angrily, Gao Fengliang made Chai sigh, whether it is in Hubei's popularity or your conduct, you are the best candidate for the governor of Hubei, I hope that Speaker Tang will not shirk again. ”

Tang Hualong's heart blossomed, but he still refused, Chai Dongliang just didn't allow it, so he made a reluctant look to accept.

Chai Dongliang had already seen through his thoughts, and he was secretly funny in his heart without saying anything. However, he also knew that Tang Hualong was not an official fan, otherwise he would not have launched four congressional wishes under the huge pressure of the Qing court, if he wanted to be the governor of Hubei, he would be able to become after the Xinhai Revolution, and with his favorable conditions of serving as the chairman of the Hubei Legislative Council all the year round, Li Yuanhong would have to stand aside. What's more, this time he and Yuan Shikai turned their faces and walked away, giving up the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives. He now wants to be the governor of Hubei, because he just wants to fulfill his political ideals in Hubei. Tang Hualong saw with his own eyes the achievements of Anhui's construction, and he was even more pleased that the elections at the county and district levels in Anhui were conducted in an orderly manner, and the people's interest in participating in and discussing state affairs was unprecedentedly high, and the maintenance of the legal system in the entire Jianghuai Army was beyond the reach of Beiyang and other warlords. Tang Hualong saw the possibility of implementing constitutional government in the whole country from Anhui, which made the fire in his heart burn violently again.

Song Jiaoren, Liang Qichao, and Tang Hualong, these are the three most famous constitutional advocates in the early years of the Republic of China, but unfortunately their fate is not good, especially Song Jiaoren and Tang Hualong were assassinated, and their deaths are unknown. Song Jiaoren was assassinated and unfortunately died, Tang Hualong was extremely sad, that is, he saved Lianyun: "If I am allowed to make angry words, it is said that Shenzhou should be resolute with Mr., crying Fan Juqing, and the white horse has no place to go; It was downgraded to the concept of interests, and the people of the country endured to destroy the Great Wall of China, calmly came to Uncle Jun, and drew a knife and threw a pen to whom. "Fan Juqing" in the upper link, that is, the story of "Fan Juqing's death and life" in "Yu Shi Mingyan", which is a metaphor for those who promise it; The "Lai Jun Xu" in the lower couplet refers to the Eastern Han Dynasty general who came to the court and was assassinated. It can be seen that Tang Hualong highly respected Song Jiaoren and his people, and he was particularly resentful of the mastermind who assassinated Song.

Although Tang Hualong and Song Jiaoren had different political views, one supported the presidential system and centralized power, and the other strongly advocated the cabinet system and inter-provincial autonomy, but these were all gentlemen's disputes, but they cherished each other.

In another time and space, Tang Hualong opposed the "imperial cabinet" of the Qing court, the "second revolution" of the Kuomintang, and Yuan Shikai as emperor, and even opposed Zhang Xun's restoration. After the restoration of Zhang Xun, who was in the dispute between the government and the court, Tang Hualong was completely disappointed in the Republic of China and left the United States with his wife and children, but was assassinated by the Kuomintang on the grounds of the unbelievable "cutting off Yuan Shikai's lackeys". After Tang Hualong was killed, the assassin was captured by everyone, and knowing that he could not escape, he committed suicide by swallowing a gun.

Tang Hualong was transported back to his hometown for burial, his grave was destroyed in a catastrophe decades later, his skull was smashed with a hoe, and no gold or silver jewelry was found in his tomb, only a few pieces of clothing and a skeleton. The assassin Wang Chang was buried in Huanghuagang by the Kuomintang as a "martyr", and enjoyed the highest standard of party funeral for the first time, becoming the first person in the Kuomintang to receive this kind of treatment.

Murder and arson of gold belts, repair bridges and repair roads, and there are no corpses??? Tang Hualong's life is the best commentary on this sentence, Tao Chengzhang, who advocates apoliticalism, Song Jiaoren, who advocates the cabinet system, and Tang Hualong, who painstakingly upholds constitutionalism, these three people are typical idealists, and their noble personality and conduct make future generations look up to the mountains, but they all die in vain??? At this moment, Chai Dongliang's third brother Tao Chengzhang has died, which makes him sigh, and Song Jiaoren, who has a political disagreement with Chai Dongliang, is also dead, which makes Chai Dongliang have mixed feelings in his heart, and Tang Hualong is left, and Chai Dongliang will change his fate no matter what??? There must always be a pure land in people's hearts, if there are ideal people who are always erased by reality, and the end is extremely miserable, then who will maintain ideals? Who cares about the pure land in their hearts?

Such people don't deserve to die! Don't even deserve to be humiliated after death!

"What are you thinking?" Tang Hualong couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he saw Chai Dong's flash.

Chai Dongliang said casually: "I'm thinking about how to take Wuhan smoothly, after all, there are fifty or sixty thousand troops there!" ”

Tang Hualong laughed and said: "Don't worry, Duan Zhigui is 108,000 miles worse than Duan Qirui in terms of ability and prestige, if Lao Duan is still in Hubei, then I am still a little scared, it's not that the old man boasts, deal with Xiao Duan, and get caught!" ”

Chai Dongliang's eyes lit up: "Oh, Speaker Tang is already confident?" ”
