Chapter 219: The Struggle for the Nation's Capital
When Luo Jian returned to the Guogong Mansion, there were already many people sitting in the hall.
Princess Zhu Yuanjiao of Changping and Zhu Cihuan, the king of Yong, were both sitting next to Liulan, Zhu Yujiao was crying silently, but Zhu Cihuan was angry.
Sitting next to Tang King Zhu Yujian, Liu Zongzhou, Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang, Lu Daqi and others, Tang King Zhu Yujian was talking impassionedly.
"His Royal Highness King Yong, the world cannot be without a king for a day, now that Emperor Hongguang has died, King Yong, as the son of the first emperor, should take on the heavy responsibility of the world, how can he stay out of the matter?"
Seeing Luo Jian return home, everyone in the house stood up and said hello, Zhu Cihuan ran to Luo Jian's side in a few steps, stopped Luo Jian's sleeve and said, "Uncle Luo, you are back, if you don't come back, they will force me to death." ”
"Hehe, Cihuan, don't worry, let's talk slowly if we have something." After arguing a few times, Luo Jian's mentality was also calm.
"Uncle Luo, let's not talk about this issue first, okay? There is a problem in my laboratory that can't be solved, I have been analyzing it with Mr. Song for a long time, but we can't find the problem, Aunt Liu doesn't know, and I can't find Uncle Liu, Uncle Luo, can you help me analyze it? ”
Zhu Cihuan had a childish heart, and when he saw Luo Jian coming back, he was so relieved that he left behind everyone that everyone wanted him to be the emperor, and remembered the big problem in the laboratory.
"Oh, what's wrong with you?"
"Uncle Luo, when we were doing the conductor cutting magnetic field line experiment, we found that the measurement results were very different from the calculated results, and Mr. Song and we analyzed for a long time, but we couldn't find the reason, but we were anxious."
Hearing Zhu Cihuan's words, Luo Jian also thought for a while, and then said:
"Cihuan, have you considered the resistance of the conductor? Are you ignoring the resistance of the conductor? And what is the quality of the conductor itself? If the mass itself is too small, the resistance of the air during exercise is not small, and do you count the friction? Theoretical calculations are just an ideal situation, and we have to take these factors into account in experiments. ”
"Ideal, practical factors," Zhu Cihuan muttered.
"Uncle Luo, I understand, many of our experiments before dared to be a little different from the calculation results, but the gap was very small, everyone didn't care, and now it seems that we are all wrong."
Except for Liu Lan, everyone else listened to the conversation like a book from heaven.
Zhu Yujian glared at Luo Jian with his eyes, stood up and said:
"Governor, can you stop talking about these tricks yet? Now that the emperor is dead, the court is gone, and the world is in turmoil, why do you still have the heart to talk about these useless techniques? ”
"What do you say? Are these useless techniques? I don't think you understand nonsense, if our experiments are successful, we will change the whole world, and you actually say that this is a useless technique? ”
Zhu Cihuan heard Zhu Yujian say that physics is a useless technique, and he was annoyed on the spot.
Zhu Yujian's face turned red, in his eyes, Zhu Cihuan was the emperor who was about to ascend the throne, and he didn't dare to get angry, but just muttered:
"Compared with the world, what is the greatest technique?"
"You don't want me to be the emperor, if I really become the emperor, the first thing is to let the king of Tang return to Nanyang, he is not allowed to leave for the rest of his life, leaving is rebellion, and you, you go and get my laboratory up, you must produce results within a year, otherwise it will be the crime of bullying the king."
Zhu Cihuan was already completely anxious, his little face turned red, and he pointed at Tang Wang, Liu Zongzhou and the others and shouted.
Hearing Zhu Cihuan's roar, Zhu Yujiao was already crying.
"Cihuan, don't be in a hurry, say something slowly!" Luo Jian hurriedly grabbed Zhu Cihuan.
"Uncle Luo, I really don't want to be an emperor, my laboratory is doing well now, as long as the problem that Uncle Luo just said is solved, the progress will be fast in the future, even Mr. Song is staying in the laboratory all day now."
Zhu Cihuan's roar made Zhu Yujian, Liu Zongzhou and others silent.
"Hehe, you don't have to take the angry words Cihuan said to your heart, I just want to tell you that King Yong became the emperor, and he can leave his name in the history books, but this reputation is good or bad, I am older than Cihuan, I'm afraid it is difficult to know, everyone says but?"
"But according to the current development of Cihuan's interests, his achievements should go down in history, and his contribution to the country and the people is no less than that of a competent king. Let's think about it, everyone! ”
Everyone understands the meaning of Luo Jian's words, and Zhu Yujian said unconvinced:
"With our assistance and him, he can become a generation of Ming Jun."
"You? Just you? When the first emperor was there, you also assisted him, but why did your father end up like that? When Emperor Hongguang was there, you also assisted him, what happened to him? ”
Zhu Cihuan was already extremely angry with Zhu Yujian, and shouted regardless of it at the moment.
Hearing Zhu Cihuan's words, Zhu Yujiao cried louder and louder next to her.
"The first emperor and the Hongguang Emperor can't listen to our advice, and we have done our best." Liu Zongzhou said beside him.
"Well, if I become the emperor, I won't listen to your words either, what will you do?" Zhu Cihuan picked it up quickly.
"Besides, even if I listen to you, can I really govern the world well? I can't see it! ”
At this time, Zhu Cihuan was not at all like a fourteen-year-old boy, and what he said was sharp, and even Luo Jian was secretly surprised.
Gao Hongtu didn't speak beside him, shook his head, knew that he couldn't do anything today, stood up and said:
"Let's not fight now, it's okay to think about this matter in the long run?"
When Zhu Yujian, Liu Zongzhou and the others left, and only Luo Jian, Liu Lan and Zhu Yujiao were left in the hall, Zhu Yujiao stood up, walked to Luo Jian in a few steps and knelt down.
"What are you doing? Get up! Luo Jian said helplessly.
Liu Lan stepped forward and pulled Zhu Yujiao up from the ground, helped her to the seat and sat down.
"Sister, if you have something to say, don't do this, you know that Uncle Luo hates these the most!" Luo Jian said with a calm face.
"Uncle Luo, I don't ask you to help Cihuan become the emperor, I just ask Uncle Luo to keep Cihuan safe, and I can't thank you enough!"
"What do you mean, Zhu Yujiao? In your eyes, your Uncle Luo is such a person? When have you ever seen him do such a filthy thing? ”
Liu Lan was unhappy when she heard it, now in Nanjing City, except for Luo Jian, I'm afraid no one can hurt Zhu Cihuan, Zhu Yujiao's words must be something.
"Aunt Liu, my sister doesn't know where she heard about it, saying that Emperor Hongguang was killed by the Yangzhou army sent by Uncle Luo when they were chasing the Qing soldiers, Cihuan didn't believe it, Cihuan felt that he really wanted to hurt him, so they couldn't catch up with the Qing soldiers, why bother?"
Zhu Cihuan walked up to Liu Lan and said.
Before he finished speaking, Shi Kefa walked in, and he heard Zhu Yujiao's words outside the door, so he said to Zhu Yuanjiao very seriously:
"Cihuan is right! I'm afraid you've heard rumors about it, princess. When Emperor Hongguang died, dozens of captured ministers saw it, and I also personally inspected the body of Emperor Hongguang, but he fell to his head and died. ”
"No, this matter can't be left like that, if the rumors continue to develop, Xinghua will be at a loss for words." Liu Lan stood up and said.
"Liulan, what do you say? I don't know where the source of this rumor is, so where do we start? Shi Kefa said to Liu Lan with a headache.
"It's easy to do! Aren't there dozens of ministers present that day? Let the people they see write a detailed story, let's publish it in the newspaper, and the rumors will be self-defeating! ”
"Well, that's a good idea, I'll arrange for someone to do it." Shi Kefa nodded in response.
Hearing Shi Kefa say this, Zhu Yujiao knew that she was wrong, and sat in her seat with her head down and never spoke again.
Liu Lan had already calculated that after arriving in Nanjing, the struggle for the national capital would be extremely fierce, and it would be extremely important to occupy the main position of public opinion.
"Xinghua, you're right! Today, in front of the princess and King Yong, I made it clear that after more than two years of experience, I have learned a lot from Xinghua and them, but my head is still a little slower, which is why things are so bad. ”
Shi Kefa stood up and said to a few people.
"Brother Xian, sit down and let's talk slowly."
Luo Jian said with a smile, when Shi Kefa turned the corner, his pressure would be much less, and his mood would be much better.
Everyone has a hurdle in their hearts, Shi Kefa is not a saint, and of course it is no exception.
Hearing the news of Emperor Hongguang's death, his first thought was to help Zhu Cihuan ascend the throne, and he also knew that Zhu Cihuan did not want to be the emperor, and he saw in the book that there was a system called "constitutional monarchy", and what he wanted was this system, so that Zhu Cihuan would be a nominal emperor.
The dispute between him and Luo Jian is also here, but he doesn't want Luo Jian to resolutely oppose it.
In fact, Luo Jian knows best that the "constitutional monarchy" in this era is just empty words, Luo Jian may still be able to control it when they are still there, if several people go back or grow old, everything will soon become the same.
Although this major change caused Yangzhou to suffer heavy casualties and Nanjing City also suffered heavy losses, Luo Jian felt that this was an opportunity.
Luo Jian didn't want to do everyone's ideological work one by one, not only did he not have the time, but it was impossible to do it, what Luo Jian wanted was to use the strongest means to complete the establishment of the Nanjing government.
Although various departments in Yangzhou are nervously moving to Nanjing, and the Nanjing Provisional Government is in intense preparations, the "struggle for national capital" in Nanjing is intensifying.
Under the strong military deterrence of the 1st Division and the Cavalry Division, no one dared to act rashly, but the controversy at the level of public opinion was already in full swing.
Liu Lan could think of moving "Yangzhou Weekly" to Nanjing, and Liu Zongzhou could certainly think of it.
Luo Jian's article "What is the foundation of the country? Although the Ming Pao also published a number of refuting articles, Luo Jian simply ignored them, and then published four or five articles in the newspaper in a row, in which the structure and ideas of the Nanjing Provisional Government were very clearly expressed.
In fact, the biggest impact on everyone's thinking is not Luo Jian's article, it is Zhu Cihuan who plays a key role.
After Zhu Cihuan had a long talk with Shi Kefa and others with Luo Jian that night, he was in a hurry to go back to Yangzhou, and the problems that arose in the experiment were finally found, and he was in a hurry to go back to solve the problem, but Liu Lan stopped him.
