Chapter 132 The Day That Determines Fate On

"May 27, 1905, for Asia, this is the day that determines fate!"

A day of destiny!

Observers from various countries who pay attention to the situation in Asia may know nothing about it, but on this day, for the senior management of Japan, they understand that the fate of the empire will be on this day. When Tokyo's nerves begin to collapse from about 5 a.m., Nanjing, thousands of kilometers away, in the eyes of some people, perhaps today is the same It is a day that determines fate.

Or not in the eyes of some people, but in the eyes of almost all people who care about Chinese politics, today, the fate of the empire and the future will go, and a choice will be made today.

A multiple-choice question, for a choice in the future, one party has made a choice, while the other party is making a choice.

At the foot of Zijin Mountain, in addition to a row of university campuses, there is also a building. No, it should be said that it is a complex, a complex of buildings adjacent to the Imperial Martyrs' Temple. Unlike anywhere else, the imperial flag is raised and lowered here, a red imperial flag, which seems to remind people that this is a royal property, but this is not a royal garden. However, the beautiful Chinese-style buildings hidden in the trees can make people feel the quietness and tranquility here.

The scenery here is beautiful, and there is even a small lake in the center of the complex. Such a beautiful place will naturally make almost everyone want to move here, but this place is not something that others can live in, because living here is the "privilege" of some people.

Imperial Army Academy!

A bronze nameplate at the entrance of the gate reveals the true intention of this huge complex of buildings. Inside the gate, on a stone foundation of Mount Tai, a resolute soldier stands, but the resolute soldier did not maintain a standing or charging posture, but sat in a wheelchair, and he lost his legs.

"Place the soldiers who use their lives and blood to defend their kings here, so that they can spend the rest of their lives in a quiet and peaceful environment..."

On the black stone foundation of Mount Tai, the inscription written by His Majesty is made of brass and embedded in the stone. This is the Imperial Army Academy. This is a welfare home established by His Majesty out of his own pocket to house the disabled soldiers in the suburbs of Nanjing. Now nearly 5,000 disabled soldiers live here.

In the Imperial Invalides, every disabled soldier was taken care of. There are full-time nurses to take care of them. Every corner of the building reflects the care for the disabled soldiers. Barrier-free steps, corridors, bathrooms, and the disabled soldiers who were once freed from death got their homes here.

On the table tennis court under the shade of trees, therong jun soldiers with empty sleeves are playing table tennis or chatting in wheelchairs, and some are "walking" in the Invalids Academy under the promotion of nurses. Here, there will be no discrimination against them. Similarly, they do not need to worry about food and clothing. Soldiers who once paid for the country. We have received the most appropriate and meticulous care here.

The Imperial Army Courtyard is not only a place where disabled soldiers live, but also a hospital. Most of the seriously injured in the army will eventually be sent here from various front-line hospitals for treatment here. At this time, in a large ward full of seriously injured people, dozens of beds are lying on the wounded covered with bandages. Many of them are the wounded of the Guards who have been transferred from hospitals in Peiping and Tianjin in recent days. The air is filled with the strong smell of disinfectants and alcohol.

At this time, most of the eyes of these wounded turned around a figure, a foreigner in nurse's uniform, but when they looked at her, there was no resistance in their eyes, only grateful and reverent eyes, especially when she carefully changed bandages for the wounded soldiers. When comforting the wounded soldier with a smile, in an instant, almost everyone felt that maybe it was worth dying.

"Okay!"

Change the bandage for the wounded soldier. Looking at the sweaty appearance of the wounded soldier who endured the pain, Ji Li smiled apologetically, and then wiped the sweat off the injured soldier's forehead with hair.

"Thank you...thank you, emperor...no, nurse Chen..."

The wounded soldier who lost his right arm struggled to stand up and thank the queen, but was pressed down by Ji Li.

"You need to take good care of your injuries, okay?"

The soldiers looked at the queen. They knew that the queen would come here every other day. She did not come here to comfort her, but to help them as a nurse. For a month, she had 20 days to treat the wounded in the Army Hospital and the Invalids. In the past, they watched the queen examine her wounds in fear. Change the bandage. Although they have now adapted to the "queen nurse", their inner gratitude is beyond words. The most ordinary soldiers can get the queen's treatment, which no one has ever thought of.

"I am willing to die for your majesty and the queen!"

Almost every wounded soldier who witnessed the queen's medical staff, looking at the queen who seemed to be no different from ordinary nurses, would have such an idea in his heart.

"Wow..."

After changing the bandage for the last wounded soldier, after leaving the ward, Ji Li, who was full of sweat, took a breath. When she saw the oncoming wounded in the corridor, a smile piled up on her face again, in exchange for the respect of the wounded.

In Ji Li's eyes, the fatigue seemed to have faded. To some extent, she didn't like to go to the army hospital or this army hospital. She didn't like to face the wounded, but she knew that this might be the only thing she could do for her husband, to medical the soldiers who paid for him and the country, and comfort him with the sound of the piano. Our pain. ache.

Some people once accused themselves of acting, but... turned her head to look at the wounded. Ji Li's expression was gloomy. When they said that kind of words, didn't they know that it was the responsibility of nobles and officials to enter the hospital as a nurse during the war?

"I've seen the queen!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from beside her. She turned her head and looked at it. Ji Li's eyes opened. It was him! Yang Du.

"There is no queen here, only nurses!"

While talking, Ji Liren walked out of the building, while Yang Du slowly followed behind him.

"The Consultative Council has passed the Code for Domestic Products!"

Yang Du's words were not big, but it seemed to explode in Ji Li's ears. He passed, and the right one was finally coming.

Seeing that the queen was still silent, Yang Du continued to say.

"In the afternoon, the Consultative Council will pass a resolution to reject the renewal of the Treaty Restrictions on Chinese Workers in the United States!"

While saying this, Yang Du, who lowered his head slightly, raised his eyes and carefully observed the queen's expression in order to get some information from her expression, but to his disappointment, the queen did not seem to show any emotion.

"Mr. Yang!"

Breaking the silence, Ji Li stopped and looked at the disabled Rongjun basking in the sun on the lawn.

"Power is won, not relying on the charity of others!"

The queen's words shocked Yang Du. Could it be... "These soldiers paid the price for victory in the war. When fighting for power, they will also... Are you willing to face all this?"

With his head down, Yang Du didn't say anything. At this time, his heart set off a storm. This... What does the queen mean by saying this? Is it?

Does the Queen and Your Majesty have a dispute on some issues? No, although there is no news from the palace, Yang Du knows that His Majesty and the queen are husbands and wives, and their closeness is by no means comparable to other couples, but... Does your majesty want to convey a signal through the queen? Or... "We must achieve the constitution step by step, even through some training..."

Training! Thinking of His Majesty's words, Yang Du even suddenly had an illusion in his heart. It seemed that the reason why His Majesty has not made a statement so far is, to some extent, to let everyone understand that power is for.

"If you don't drive your power, then power is a piece of waste paper!"

"Power, civil rights need to be maintained, but if the citizens do not take the initiative to protect civil rights, who will care about civil rights!"

Once His Majesty's words kept emerging in Yang Du's mind again and again, linking his attitude in some conversations in the past. Yang Du suddenly found a place that he had ignored in the past.

Your Majesty wants to see the Consultative House fight for power! Or fight for the part of the power that originally belonged to the Consultative House!

Although this discovery made Yang Du jump in his heart, there is still a question in his heart. If Your Majesty really intends to see the Consultative House fight for power against him, why would he... But if Your Majesty does not have this will, how can the queen convey this meaning to herself?

A few minutes later, Yang Du, who was still full of doubts, left the Invalides Academy. Ji Li, who had strolled to the lakeside, looked at the small lake in front of her. Tears slid down her cheeks. She didn't know whether it was right or wrong to do it, but she knew that if she didn't do something, she would let her husband do it. If you go on your own, maybe one day... "You once said that you want to see people fight for their power and their freedom. If they really fight for it, what will you do?"

Thinking about it, Ji Li wiped away the tears from her cheeks and looked at the small lake. She smiled bitterly. She knew what she should do. As a queen, she must fulfill her responsibilities and love the people here. At the same time, she must do everything she can to try and try so that the people here will not give up one day. Abandoned father-in-law.

Thinking that if her father-in-law went on his own way and was blindly lost in power, maybe one day he would really be abandoned by the people, just like the people abandoned the Qing Dynasty, Ji Li couldn't help saying in her heart.

"You know, you know all this, but why do you still want to..."
