Chapter 287: 【The Republic

Inside the livestream room, a large number of Blue Star friends had gathered.

It was mainly due to the upcoming 【Immersive Plot】 that was about to be broadcast.

Although Polar Star had announced a lot, it wasn't everything. After their plans were disrupted, Yu Feng quickly replaced a batch of 【Republic of China Series Figures】 that had been prepared for broadcast.

After all, having already seen the 【Movie Version】, many would find the 【Immersive Experience】 mode plots to be repetitive.

It was fine when they first came out, but now Polar Star had released so many movies all at once.

People couldn't even finish watching the brand-new ones, so who would bother watching content that was more or less the same?

Therefore, aside from a few special plot characters, Yu Feng adjusted and replaced many of them with figures not currently in the 【Movie Version】, then found a streamer to quickly wrap up the plot.

They started in a rush.

They had to be quick. This book was first published on Tian Tian Kan Xiao Shuo to relieve boredom, ttks. tw is very reliable, providing you with an error-free and non-disordered reading experience.

At the rate Polar Star was churning them out, perhaps by the time the next batch of 【Movie Versions】 updated, another large group of 【Historical Figures】 movies would be on the shelves.

They would have to adjust again by then.

So, they had to broadcast quickly while Polar Star hadn't released anything yet.

Other streamers were also working overtime to get through the plots, preparing to redeem the qualifications for the 【Immersive Experience】 to conduct their livestreams.

As the number of people in the livestream room grew.

Yu Feng checked the time and told the streamer to begin the 【Immersive Experience】.

The screen slowly lit up.

Three characters appeared: 【Jiang Weiping】.

A look of confusion flashed through the minds of the Blue Star netizens in the livestream room; they had never heard of him.

Just as they were thinking this.

In the various livestream rooms linked by Yu Feng, Jiang Weiping's deeds popped up, but the very first line left the Blue Star players in the room stunned: 【The Republic's Oldest Medal Recipient】?

What... kind of title was that?

In all the livestream rooms everyone was watching, the screen for the immersive experience slowly lit up.

The characters 【1964】 appeared.

Tick—tock—the sound of an instrument rang out.

What came into view next was a bright hospital room, where a very old man with a long beard lay with his eyes closed on a hospital bed, beside the bedside table.

Seeing this scene.

The Blue Star netizens in the livestream room were astonished.

They never expected this kind of opening.

Furthermore.

【1964】 was only 15 years after the founding of the country, and he was already this old.

No wonder the previous information said he was the Republic's oldest medal recipient, but calculating back like this, this old man must have been of advanced age during the war.

Fighting in a war at over 60?

That was quite impressive.

The Blue Star netizens in the livestream room looked at the old man, whose hair and beard were white and who looked to be in his 80s or 90s, and couldn't help but be shocked.

In the scene.

An old-fashioned radio crackled, and the passionate voice of an announcer came through:

"... Prepare for war, prepare for famine, for the people! The Southwest and Northwest regions will be built into new industrial bases."

"..."

"... The military training report performance of the military region has concluded successfully!"

"6"

"... Research has entered the final sprint stage, scientific workers are fighting day and night, contributing strength to breaking the nuclear monopoly."

As the camera zoomed in, it gradually approached the old man's face.

The old man, who had been listening to the broadcast, hearing of the Republic's continuous development and good news, felt his lips tremble—

They curled up, and the sound of the old man's inner voice suddenly rang out in the scene: "It's so good..."

"This life... was finally not lived in vain..."

"It was worth it..."

"..."

Seeming to have reached the final moments of his life, the old man's voice held a sense of relief at having seen past life and death, as well as joy for the increasingly powerful motherland in the broadcast.

But more than that, it was satisfaction, a feeling without regrets.

As the camera zoomed in... and in...

Swish!

The scene switched.

It returned to that era of smoke and fire, a turbulent imperial court, and affected villages.

In the scene.

【1885】 appeared, at this time.

The camera appeared above a field, where a 7-year-old Jiang Weiping was working in the fields, and in the evening, he would go alone to pick up firewood and vegetables.

This was the epitome of the vast majority of people on the 【Huaxia】 land today.

At night, Jiang Weiping played outside, while the men in the village who couldn't sleep gathered under an old tree, discussing outdated news, with voices of frustration occasionally rising.

Young Jiang Weiping didn't know what the adults were discussing.

As the scene flowed.

It reached the time when Jiang Weiping was 15, and he went to the Qinghecheng clothing shop in Fucheng County to be an apprentice.

A year later.

He became a long-term laborer in the southeast pass of Fucheng.

As he entered the city.

He came into contact with more people and things, and news became more accessible.

Gradually.

Jiang Weiping began to understand what the people in the village were talking about; it was cursing the incompetence of the imperial court and resentment toward the oppression by foreigners.

Although it hadn't affected them, they were just angry.

As Jiang Weiping grew older, the idea of saving the country became increasingly strong.

Finally.

At the age of 19, Jiang Weiping learned of the news of recruitment.

He believed that joining the army could save the country.

So he quit being a laborer, joined the army, served as a service member, a squad leader, and eventually an instructor.

Jiang Weiping's desire to save the country never ceased.

However...

Such a Qing imperial army also left Jiang Weiping often feeling lost.

Looking at his own worn-out uniform, looking at the rusted ironclad warships anchored in the distance.

Could this really save the country?

Jiang Weiping didn't know what the future would hold, but having been in the army for so many years without ever having the opportunity to realize his ambitions, he felt very lost.

Until...

The top superior of the unit he was in, that world-famous Lord Li.

Signed that humiliating treaty.

Looking at the commoners cursing outside the military camp, and the students walking around the city holding banners.

Jiang Weiping couldn't believe that after serving in the army for so many years, he had waited for such a result; even if you had just fought the foreigners once?

Despairing of the imperial court, Jiang Weiping left the camp and returned to his hometown.

Seeing this.

The Blue Star netizens in the livestream room understood, especially those who had seen 【Xin Qiji】 in Fang Ming's livestream room before.

They all understood that this was a person who purely wanted to save the country.

Just like Xin Qiji.

It is just that Xin Qiji wasted over 40 years, and in the end, he did not achieve it.

And at the beginning of the scene.

It gave the final moments of this old man, a perfect ending.

It was just that they didn't know how many hardships were in between.

The scene continued to flow.

Jiang Weiping, who returned to his hometown, was also paying attention to national affairs.

But he never saw any hope.

Until a few years later.

Jiang Weiping learned from the newspaper that the imperial court had been overthrown and the Qing emperor had abdicated.

He was full of fantasies about the provisional president who had overthrown the corrupt imperial court, believing that he could end the chaotic times and let this country stand tall.

So.

Jiang Weiping, who had been stable in his hometown for a few years, set out to join the army again.

He joined the Beiyang Army.

Because of his many years of military experience, plus being literate, he was considered a rare talent in the army at that time.

In just a few years, he was promoted to company commander, and then deputy battalion commander.

It was just that because he couldn't stand the cavalry battalion commander's brutality toward the commoners, he couldn't help but beat him up, and was subsequently expelled from the military.

However, Jiang Weiping didn't lose heart.

He soon joined Duan Qirui's command, and with his past experience, Jiang Weiping was soon promoted to battalion commander within a few years.

It was just that the Republic of China during this period.

Was full of warlord infighting, harming the country and the people.

Jiang Weiping, who wanted to save the country, found that he was also one of those harming the country and the people, which made him leave in anger and return to his hometown to farm and study.

This scene.

Made the Blue Star netizens in the livestream room couldn't help but be surprised.

This was the position of a battalion commander.

In the period of 1929, although this position was very dangerous, the power was not small, compared to returning to the hometown to farm and study medicine, to be a commoner.

The Blue Star netizens in the livestream room put themselves in the situation at that time.

They found that they couldn't bear to give it up at all.

But Jiang Weiping in the scene did just that, and after seeing clearly that the unit he was in was also one that harmed the country and the people, he left without hesitation and resolutely returned to his hometown.

In the scene.

Jiang Weiping not only studied but also used everything he saw outside.

He started a Red Cross, a clinic, and a pharmacy in the village.

Constantly improving his medical skills.

And this was another 8 years.

In these 8 years.

Jiang Weiping not only actively promoted anti-Japanese national salvation in the local area but also promoted the revolutionary party members. Under the inspiration of that party member, Jiang Weiping gradually had ideas.

He actively promoted in his hometown, while teaching experience, letting the villages in his hometown start to be fully armed, preparing to resist aggression at any time.

Until 1937.

The Lu Gouqiao Incident broke out, and the emotions of the people at home and abroad were intense.

It was the same for Jiang Weiping.

Although he was already 59 years old at this time, he resolutely joined the 29th Army of the National Revolutionary Army to resist the Japanese invaders, until the Pingjin battle, when Jiang Weiping's unit was scattered.

Jiang Weiping, who returned to his hometown again, opened a Western pharmacy this time.

Because he had seen the effect of those Western medicines outside, sometimes they were faster than Chinese medicine, so that he could save more soldiers and wounded when on the battlefield.

At this time.

The barrage in the livestream room was also discussing:

【Good guy, this is the third time joining the army, right?】

【Joining the army at 59, the old man's blood is amazing!】

【59 years old and still carrying a gun to the battlefield, I'm 20 and pant when climbing stairs...】

【Qing army, Beiyang army, National Revolutionary Army, now it seems only the red side is left.】

【Hiss—, he's already 59, this old man won't join the army at 60, right?】

【Too ruthless, as pure as Xin Qiji, just to save the country.】

【Indeed, but the old man is luckier than Xin Qiji, because the old man has always been on the road of action, not like Xin Qiji who was delayed by the Southern Song court, wasted 40 years, and wasted a lifetime.】

【Mainly the old man's action power is super amazing, my god.】

【Too amazing.】

In the scene.

As the Japanese invaders approached, Jiang Weiping's life was not stable, some armed leaders who surrendered, in order to show loyalty, often came to harass Jiang Weiping's family, who had a good reputation in the local area.

Even the pharmacy was searched many times.

Such days.

Lasted until February 1938.

When he heard that the Eighth Route Army was passing through his hometown.

At this time.

Jiang Weiping, who was already 60 years old, took all the medicines in the pharmacy at home, ignored the opposition, and resolutely joined the Eighth Route Army.
