Chapter 277 The eldest son in Panama
Li Zhaoyu smiled and said nothing. He knew that his father never wanted to be related to the army. For example, he himself. When Li Zhaoyu talked about his dream of becoming a general, Li Junwei told him that there were other better choices and that being a general was very hard. This was a secret rejection of him in joining the army until Li Zhaoji passed away that he no longer restricted him in this regard.
But King Yu has always been closely related to the army. In the past twenty-five years, he has handled all the large-scale expansion of the empire by himself. The officers who served him in front of the army, either generals and ministers or guarded one side, were unable to reach the influence of King Yu in the army.
The so-called relationship between King Yu and the army is entirely based on his own wishes.
"Dad, you are now in contact with the army. At the beginning, everyone was not used to the establishment of the peacekeeping security force. They felt that they were coming to work as security guards for others. However, during this period, public opinion at home and abroad has been extremely positive to the security forces. Everyone thinks you are far-sighted. Today you are using the British and Netherlands diplomats to do this. I think everyone will thank you." Li Zhaoyu said.
"That's because the army is an important reliance on the royal family to exercise their power, and it is a reputation. The emperor without military power is nothing, and the most important thing in politics is balance and compromise. Now that the domestic bourgeois forces are rising, and their power and influence are getting stronger and stronger, we must do everything possible to balance.
The nobles, the working class, and the royal family themselves are all such a balanced force, and the army is no exception." Li Junwei explained.
Li Zhaoyu thought for a while: "I think what capitalists fear the most is workers. Oh, it should be said that united workers. In Shenjing, as long as workers unite to strike, the final result will be the capitalists' compromise. Isn't it enough to rely on them?"
Li Junwei shook his head: "No matter how much an emperor loves the people as much as his son, he cannot hide the fact that the emperor is the greatest vested interest, the ruling class and the exploiting class. We can cooperate with the workers, or with the people, but we will never be able to do the same.
Your uncle uses the workers to balance the interests of the bourgeoisie, and the workers also use the emperor's support to win the rights they deserve, but the two will never be integrated. The best way for the emperor to practice his will is the army."
"But in history, it seems like this is the case with the tyrants."
"Tyrant? A soldier is an ominous weapon. It depends on who you use it on and why you use it."
While Li Junwei and his second son were discussing the role of the army in politics, in the distant Panama City Hospital, his eldest son, Li Zhaoyu, was enduring the torture caused by a fracture. He was wearing a cast on his arm and hung a bandage around his neck. A young doctor in a white coat was examining his injured leg, and beside him, there was a heroic young man chattering.
"Little ancestor, can we stop making trouble? What are you doing here? You have seen the conditions here, which is not as perfect as the Naval Hospital..."
Li Zhaoyu said calmly: "I just had a fracture, and it has been five days and will be cured soon."
"But you can't wander outside. If something happens, how can I explain that my family will still survive?" The young man was anxious.
"I didn't tell you that you came to the door by yourself. You can pretend that you don't know. What's wrong with me has nothing to do with you." Li Zhaoyu said stubbornly.
"You're just stubborn, just stubborn. Do you have any other purpose?" the young man asked, but seeing that Li Zhaoyu did not answer, he patted the doctor and asked, "Doctor Xia, do you have a particularly beautiful female nurse and female doctor in your hospital?"
Li Zhaoyu looked at the young man in surprise, and Dr. Xia smiled: "I'm not sure what the standard is to be particularly beautiful."
The young man nodded: "I'll go see it myself."
As he said that, he opened the door and went out. Li Zhaoyu said, "I'm sorry, Dr. Xia, I've caused you trouble."
"It's okay, the young man has a special identity and is gentle to others, which is rare." Dr. Xia Ming said calmly. Seeing Li Zhaoyu's suspicion, he explained: "I don't know what you are, but I know the Chief Fang Cheng just now. He is the first chief of the Public Security Bureau. I have seen him shoot Japanese workers. People like him are so humble to you, you must not be an ordinary person."
"Anyway, it has caused trouble for you and the hospital."
Xia Ming shook his head gently and hurriedly asked the nurse to go to the office to get a form. He said while filling in it: "Young sir, don't be in your heart. Since you feel sorry, can you ask Chief Fang to sign a letter on it? This is very important to me."
After he finished writing, Li Zhaoyu looked carefully and found that this was an application form, requiring approval of the equation because the application was an autopsy, and it was not an existing corpse, but all unclaimed corpses in Panama.
After Li Zhaoyu was injured, he had been in the hospital for treatment and was already very familiar with Dr. Xia Ming. This doctor has been experienced for 31 years and has an educational background from Shenjing Medical College. In this hospital with a city but small scale, he served as the attending physician of orthopedics and internal medicine.
Such an excellent doctor was naturally not willing to come to Panama to study medicine. Xia Ming's hometown is in Kowloon. His ancestors were soldiers who went to Nanyang to explore. However, he did not leave any decent industries. His father opened a pharmacy shop, but his management was not good. Xia Ming and his brothers and sisters were smart and studious people, but one problem was that education was a burden to his family, and his excellence was nothing in the entire Kowloon area.
In order to attend a good school and reduce tuition fees, Xia Ming's father took them to immigrate to Panama, so that Xia Ming and his siblings could get scholarships from Panama City and could even go to Shenjing to study as overseas students.
But because it is not at your own expense, according to the agreement, Xia Ming needs to return to Panama City to work for seven years after graduation in Shenjing. This policy is very common in the overseas territories of the empire. It is precisely because of this policy that Panama has such an excellent doctor.
However, in this era, doctors also took the responsibility of medical researchers. In the empire, new medical technology or medical inventions can not only gain huge wealth, but also receive brilliant honors. Generally speaking, wealthy doctors will work part-time in medical research, while doctors like Xia Ming are more engaged in anatomy.
For medical skills and medical research, Xia Ming worked part-time as a forensic doctor at the Panama Security Department. There is more than one part-time job like him, and the competitive pressure is also great. Unlike later anatomy, there is no good anti-corrosion and temperature control technology in this era, so a corpse often doesn't last long.
"Okay, I'll help you with this," said Li Zhaoyu.
Xia Ming and the nurses around him were both surprised. Xia Ming asked directly: "Don't you think my job is... very special?"
"This is for medical research, isn't it?" Li Zhaoyu said with a smile, and then said: "I have heard stories about anatomy, which are also common in Europe, such as Paris and Amsterdam. There, doctors or medical students often buy corpses, so they have professions like corpses. By the way, I heard that they like Jewish corpses the most."
"Jews? Are there any differences in their body structure?"
"It is said that their brains are gold coins." Li Zhaoyu joked and continued: "In fact, it is because the Jews will be buried within one day after death, so their bodies are relatively fresh. The Jews are also rich. In order to protect the bodies of their relatives, they also thought of many ways, such as sending people to guard the cemetery, and of course, putting a few explosives such as mines in the tomb as burial is also a new trend."
Li Zhaoyu said, got a new form from Xia Ming, and copied it according to Xia Ming's one. After a while, Fang Cheng rushed back. Li Zhaoyu had finished writing and asked without raising his head: "How is it, are there any particularly beautiful nurses?"
"Hehe, I didn't find anything particularly beautiful."
"There are two in the infectious disease department that are not bad, didn't you go and see it?"
Fang Cheng almost sat on the ground: "Oh my ancestor, you are still going to the infectious disease department. What if you get some disease?"
Li Zhaoyu smiled and said, "Just kidding. Come on, Brother Fang, sign your name here."
Fong picked up the table and looked at Xia Ming again. Li Zhaoyu said, "Tell me, you are so smart and can't be an official. If you sign this word, you can have another sentence in the file. In a smoky place overseas, you still don't forget to support the medical cause and cultivate medical talents for the empire."
"Yes, yes, thank you for your reminder." The Equation didn't care about how to write it in the file, so she signed it directly and said to Xia Ming: "Doctor Xia, next time you go to the forensic doctor, you can just hand it over to the people there. The corpse is an important material for medical progress. I hope you respect the deceased and you also hope you achieve something."
"He is quite good at singing the official voice." Li Zhaoyu smiled and limped out. His arm was broken and his legs were just swollen, which was not serious.
Fang Cheng quickly followed and helped Li Zhaoyu and asked, "Young Master, how did you get this injury?"
Li Zhaoyu said: "I fell myself, why do you want to hear how I fell? Go back and have fun secretly, right?"
"How can I do it? After all, I am maintaining one side in Panama. If it weren't for General Su's affairs, Prince Yu said in his letter, "I don't know that you are here in Panama, and it's my fault for your injury." Fang Cheng explained.
Unlike generals like Su Weihua, Fang Chengyu was born in the palace. The servants of the palace, both men and women, were carefully selected orphans from Yangjiyuan, and Fang Cheng entered the palace at the age of fifteen. At that time, Li Zhaoyu's brothers were all children. They watched these two princes grow up, so they were very familiar with each other.
According to the rules, after the age of twenty-four, the attendants in the royal palace could go out to make a living. Because Fang Cheng was valued by the royal palace, he also went to night school on weekdays. As soon as he left the royal palace, he was admitted to the police academy. After graduation, he came to Panama. With his willingness to work overseas and his relationship with the royal palace, he quickly became successful in Panama and became the local security chief.
"Why did I hear that it has something to do with those Japanese workers?" Fang Cheng asked indirectly.
Li Zhaoyu looked serious: "You are right, it really has something to do with them. It was a Japanese laborer who beat me. Go quickly and catch them all, and they are all dead."
Fang Cheng smiled and said, "You are joking about me again. You have been a bodhisattva since you were a child. Even if those Japanese offend you, they will not be like this. But if someone really does evil, I can help you expel bad tempers according to the law."
"I want to ask you, who did you hear this?" Li Zhaoyu asked back.
Equation scratched his head: "I guessed, I guessed. If you don't guess well, you just lied that you heard of it."
"Then why did you guess so accurately?" Li Zhaoyu asked again.
Fang Cheng coughed lightly and said, "Young Master, I don't know. Panama City is an immigrant city. The Empire has only been owned by this city for more than ten years. It is not large in scale. Because of the railway construction, a large number of workers come in and out, especially the most Japanese workers. They are grouped together and love to make trouble. If anything bad happens in the city that can't find the perpetrator, it is mostly related to Japanese workers. So, I guessed it..., that is, guess it, and I have no other ideas, haha."
Li Zhaoyu nodded, got on his carriage with the help of Equity, and then said seriously: "You guessed that it is true, it is related to Japanese laborers, but I don't want to tell you what's going on, and I have no other idea, I just don't want to tell you."
"I'll keep it confidential for you."
"Thank you, don't spread my injuries, just keep it a secret for me. But if it spreads and lets my family know, especially the one who Shin Kyung knows, it must be the news you leaked." Li Zhaoyu said calmly.
Fang Cheng immediately regretted and clapped his hands: "What did you say? If I had known this was the case, I would not interfere. This...oh, how could I say it clearly. It's not the only one who knows it."
"Then I don't care. I'll mess with this matter myself. I'll check it myself. When I can use you, you can come forward again." Li Zhaoyu responded stubbornly.
"Then I will follow you?" Equation said tentatively.
"You, the head of public security, are you not suitable to be a follower for me. Are there any trustworthy people under your command?"
"A person who can trust?" Fang Cheng muttered, carefully picking and choosing among his subordinates, and then said, "Let my brother-in-law follow you."
"Who is the sheriff? If you don't get into the Japanese, you'll be recognized."
