New Ming Empire mixed in America

"Your Majesty, I will handle this matter when I get back..." Sun Laifu really didn't know where the current trend in the army came from.

So he wanted to go back and investigate carefully before reporting to Li Mingqi.

"No need, Jin Yiwei has already found out." After reading Jin Yiwei's follow-up report, Li Mingqi interrupted Sun Laifu.

"I don't want the National Defense Force to become someone's private army, nor do I want certain officers to show any official authority in the National Defense Force!"

It only takes one year! Problems can occur in one year. It seems that this is the reason for the failure of ideological education.

Because he felt that they were all compatriots, Li Mingqi did not engage in education like the Umbrella Youth League.

Just let the Jin Yiwei publicize it as much as possible in the army. Their main task is to collect intelligence, and then the staff department will carry out fine-tuning of the National Defense Force based on the reported intelligence.

Because they had no experience, they could only cross the river by feeling the stones. Problems were inevitable, so Li Mingqi did not criticize Sun Laifu too much.

This matter is actually very simple. In the beginning, a certain company commander in the National Defense Force used his position to put on airs and show his authority.

Because they did not pay attention to this matter, this trend appeared among all junior officers in the future.

In other words, the extra one-third of material consumption was done by a small number of officers.

Soldiers only waste a few mouthfuls of food, but officers are much more luxurious.

Using cans to raise pets is just a common practice, and some people charge money to cover enemies who are caught in battle.

For example, crossing out a few names on the prisoner list was what made Li Mingqi angry.

After Sun Laifu left, Liu Youcai said hesitantly:

"Long live my lord, now after being selected, officials must study in a specialized academy for a period of time before taking up their posts. I think the National Defense Force can do the same."

Seeing the hesitation on Liu Youcai's face, Li Mingqi said with a smile: "Although civil and military divisions are divided, if you have good suggestions, you can put them forward. As long as you don't pretend to understand, I can listen to them."

This suggestion given by Liu Youcai gave Li Mingqi a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

He had always thought that only after graduating from the military academy could he become an officer, but now the officers of the National Defense Force were all promoted through meritorious service.

Therefore, the establishment of military academies was delayed again and again, and learning relied entirely on the officers' initiative.

But I have always forgotten that active-duty officers in the army can also go to military academies for further training. Once the order of this changed, there was an immediate solution.

"Wei Ming, you first select some talents from the Jin Yiwei who have experience in this field. I am going to personally teach some teachers from the military school first."

"We will also find some outstanding candidates from the Umbrella Youth League and let them study with the officers of the National Defense Force in the future."

After Li Mingqi finished speaking, Lu Weiming, who had been silent just now, immediately nodded to express his understanding.

In fact, selecting people from Jinyiwei is the best way Li Mingqi can think of, because Jinyiwei's training is no lower than that of the Umbrella Youth League.

As for allowing members of the Umbrella Youth League to study together with the Defense Forces, this is because we want to use the good atmosphere of these Umbrella Youth Leagues to combat unhealthy tendencies in the Defense Forces.

In the future, as long as it is not wartime, newly promoted officers will have to go through a period of study before taking up their posts.

Moreover, the staff should be decentralized to the company level and should cooperate with the Jin Yiwei.

After settling the matter with the National Defense Force, Li Mingqi suddenly remembered Mayor Zhang of Yingtian Mansion, so he called to Lu Weiming who was about to leave and said:

"How's the investigation going on about Mayor Zhang?"

Lu Weiming just thought about it in his mind and found out the information about Mayor Zhang from the folder he carried with him.

After taking it and looking at it for a few times, Li Mingqi had a look of surprise on his face.

"This Mayor Zhang is actually a relative of Cui Jianguo, Duke of Wei?"

In fact, it is a bit far-fetched to say that they are relatives, but who said that the little widow who made Cui Jianguo want to retire to San Francisco also had the surname Zhang?

Rounding things off, isn’t this a relative of Cui Jianguo, Duke of Wei?

Li Mingqi couldn't help but shook his head thinking about this sensible man who once served as regent and later planned to retire into seclusion because of his unexpected birth.

We haven’t seen each other for so long, and yet we are still related to Mayor Zhang. ((?_?))

Jinyiwei intelligence showed that Mayor Zhang hopes to find a way out in the Xinming Empire for those members of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom who cannot survive in the Puppet Qing Dynasty.

But what he didn't expect was that these guys, who had long lacked respect for the imperial power, could actually unite the white miners, so this made him uncomfortable.

But no matter what his thoughts and difficulties were, Li Mingqi still said the same thing, I don't look at your process when working, I only look at the results.

But now the result given by Mayor Zhang is that the Taiping Army members who suffered from occupational diseases were just rescued from the mine by the Xinming Empire, and they turned around and wanted to cause trouble.

So Li Mingqi could only say sorry to Mayor Zhang, who told you to hit the muzzle?

Not to mention that he was just a relative who barely had a relationship with Cui Jianguo, even if Cui Jianguo did such a thing, Li Mingqi could only kill Ma Su with tears.

Seeing that another difficult matter was solved, Li Mingqi felt much better.

Spencer, who had just gotten off the boat, was not in such a beautiful mood.

"I said, I was invited by your emperor to set up a factory. I am a guest, so this is how you treat your guests?"

After shaking the barbed wire fence violently a few times, Spencer walked to the wall and sat down in frustration.

As soon as they got off the boat, they were picked up by Jin Yiwei and the Ming Xiejun. After a simple registration, the rest of the people were arranged into their respective research locations.

For example, those talented people who know how to build ships were directly taken away by the battleship research group of the Royal Academy.

As for those chemists who were proficient in dye research, they were personally taken away by Jin Yiwei and placed in a separate area to conduct research on extracting drugs from dyes.

This kind of experimental research using dyes began in 1908, when a man named Oullich discovered that certain dyes could kill bacteria during an experiment on dyeing bacteria.

Then after 606 careful screenings, a drug that can effectively kill syphilis was finally discovered, which is ‘-diaminodioxyarsenobenzene’.

Other drugs can also be extracted from dyes. For example, in 1932, a German chemist synthesized a red dye called 'Bilang Duoxi'.

This dye was originally nothing, but in the same year, a German biochemist, Dumack, used the dye 'Bilundol' to cure his daughter who was infected due to a puncture on her hand and deteriorated into septicemia.

Having said all that, Li Mingqi just wanted to extract the original version of 'sulfonamide' from the dye.

Although this thing has serious side effects on the kidneys and gastrointestinal tract, and can easily lead to various stones.

It can also cause various sequelae caused by allergies. In the mid-to-late twentieth century, it was replaced by various compound sulfonamides.

But for the Xinming Empire, which currently has a blank in the field of medical research, this is an important step that can add a skill tree.

These initial versions of sulfonamides that have been researched will not be wasted, they will be packaged in different forms and sold to Europe.

Let those people living in suffering in Europe get rid of their illnesses and overcome various inflammations as soon as possible.

Although there are hundreds of millions of side effects, for these people, Li Mingqi believes they won't mind.

Who is Li Mingqi? He is the compassionate Emperor of the New Ming Empire.

Seeing that the other mechanical engineers who had disembarked from the ship also went to their respective places, only Spencer and Meucci were left where they were now.

"Do you think these Orientals want to extort our money?"

Spencer turned to ask Meucci, but found that the other party was lying in front of the wheelchair where his wife was sitting, studying something.

"It's possible if it's just you, but with me, it's definitely not what you think!"

Meucci raised his head and showed a smile, and then continued: "Do you see how rich I look now?"

But this cold joke did not put Spencer at ease.

Finally, after much thought, he finally thought of someone - his friend Baron Neville!

Logically speaking, the other party should leave a special person waiting for him at the dock, which was what they agreed in the letter.

But now he is locked up, and Neville does not show up, which makes him feel like he has been betrayed...
