Chapter 2: Rebirth
Who is the big boss? This memory in my mind is clearly a bit confused. Luo Yaoguo thought hard for a long time, and finally a very familiar name appeared in his mind: Chen Jiongming! Oh, I have seen this name in history class. It turns out that these Guangdong people refer to Chen Jiongming as the big boss and call the founding father and former premier as the old joker. Uh, how interesting. Now the big boss and the old joker are fighting, and as a result, these Guangdong people have lost their direction.

Suddenly, strength seemed to return to Luo Yaoguo, who shouted, "Baby! Baby!" Luo Yaoguo jumped up from the bed. At that moment, he realized he was only wearing a pair of shorts. However, he had no time to look for clothes to wear; the most important thing was to see if there was still any elixir left in the small bottle
"Nephew, nephew, how have you come back to life again?" The man seemed to have noticed signs of movement from the corpse, stopping his wailing and instead resorting to physical actions. This man, named Luo Yiqun, first placed his finger on his nephew's nose to check, feeling that there was indeed breath. After that, he touched his nephew's chest, confirming that there was a heartbeat.
One, two, three! Bringing his eyes close to the mouth of the small bottle, Luo Yaoguo clearly saw three milky-white magical elixirs lying inside; those were three lives! He quickly sealed the bottle tightly and then hid it under his pillow, vowing to carry this treasure with him at all times.
Back on that rickety bed for just a short while, a young soldier named Shunzi brought over a steaming bowl of fragrant wontons. Luo Yaoguo was already starving and, without having the time to praise Shunzi, hurriedly took it and devoured it cleanly.
Oh! My God! What a miracle! My prayer just now must have worked! This elderly man, with a big beard and golden hair and blue eyes, looks like a pastor who also practices medicine. If he encounters a relatively mild illness, he will provide treatment; if he sees a patient with an incurable condition, he simply assists with the final prayers.
What kind of medication did that big shot take to oppose Lao Dou? Oh, they say it's for provincial autonomy. I know about this provincial autonomy. They claim to learn from the American federal system, but in reality, it's just an excuse for warlord fragmentation. Chen Jiongming is playing this game, and the one who played provincial autonomy best was Zhang Xueliang, his old man Zhang Zuolin. Every time he suffered a defeat, he would announce the need for provincial autonomy, and when he regained strength, he would attack Beijing, disregarding autonomy altogether. After being defeated by Wu Peifu, he practiced autonomy for a while, and after Guo Songling's rebellion against Feng, he again sought autonomy. Later, when he entered Beijing, he forgot about the federal system. After being defeated by the former president Chiang Kai-shek in the second Northern Expedition, he again wanted autonomy, but on the way back to the Northeast, he was killed by the Japanese.
"Doctor, doctor, doctor, my nephew is still breathing! Don't leave yet, Luo Zhong, help me call Dr. Steve back." The middle-aged man shouted loudly as he ran out.
A young soldier, around sixteen or seventeen years old, rushed in from outside. Upon seeing Luo Yaoguo swaying unsteadily, he quickly approached to offer support: "Young Master, please steady yourself. Let me help you inside to rest. If you need anything, I can fetch it for you." This boy, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was quite understanding, which is no wonder he was chosen by Chief of Staff Luo to be his aide.
After the military coup led by Chen Jiongming, Luo Jiqun, who was the former military commander of Guangdong, was dispatched by Sun Yat-sen to Xu Chongzhi's Northern Expedition army to mobilize troops back to attack Guangzhou. The late Luo Yaoguo seemed to have accompanied his uncle to the Northern Expedition army during this time and was subsequently injured in a battle. The counteroffensive of the Northern Expedition army was also dismantled by Chen Jiongming, and Xu Chongzhi along with his uncle retreated to Ruijin with the Northern Expedition army, where his uncle had now become the acting chief of staff of the Northern Expedition army.
About ten minutes later, Luo Yaoguo saw his new self for the first time in a wooden-framed mirror that had been disassembled from somewhere. Hmm, high nose bridge, fair skin, thin lips, eyes not particularly large, but quite spirited, somewhat resembling that uncle. Smiling to see, no dimples, the physique seems quite solid, not much different from the pilots of his previous life. Overall, he still has some advantages, and with a decent family background and an uncle who is a chief of staff, it seems possible to attract a woman who could bring disaster to the country.
Gulu, gulu... This body now appears to have fully restored all its functions. Feeling hungry, Luo Yaoguo disregarded his disheveled appearance and staggered out of the room.
"Shunzi, I am feeling a bit tired." Luo Yaoguo needed some time alone to reflect on matters, so he waved his hand to send Shunzi out
Looking at the milky white life-saving pill, Luo Yaoguo could not bother to find water to swallow it. His body had no strength at all, and every part ached. If this medicine were taken any later, even a deity would find it difficult to save him. After swallowing the elixir in a hurry, within no more than three seconds, Luo Yaoguo felt a tingling sensation at the wound on his left leg. Lifting the white cloth covering him, he could clearly see that the horrific wound on his left leg was healing at an incredible speed! In just a few breaths, a perfectly intact left leg appeared before his eyes!
"Nephew, why are you up? How is your thigh? Is it all better now?" A loud and clamorous voice rang in his ears. Luo Yaoguo turned around to see that the man who had been crying just moments ago was now pulling an old foreigner dressed in a priest's robe.
This appears to be a traditional residence in Jiangnan, surrounded by houses on all sides, with a small courtyard in the center. The place where Luo Yaoguo was staying is on the first floor of a two-story building. The courtyard looks quite dilapidated, with the carvings on the beams severely damaged, and much of the white lime on the walls has peeled off, giving it the appearance of a tattered cloth from a distance
Oh! It seems that Lao Dou was doing quite well before being attacked by Chen Jiongming? The directly governed territories included the provinces of Guangdong and Guangxi, as well as parts of Fujian and Jiangxi. Additionally, there was Xiong Kewu from Sichuan who was also fighting under Lao Dou's banner, and Yu Youren from Shaanxi? Is he the one with the long beard who writes beautifully with a brush, known for his work "Wang Dalu"? He also served as the commander-in-chief?

It seems that Sun Yat-sen is indeed lacking in military talent? Luo Yaoguo muttered to himself while leaning against the bed: "Even someone like Uncle, who studies surveying, has been sent to be the chief of staff! Uh, I really don't know how he is supposed to advise? However, since this so-called Northern Expedition Army is led by the former president, oh, it’s General Chiang as the chief of staff, I guess there’s still a chance to muddle through. It seems that General Chiang once served as the chief of staff for some anti-bandit army, which should be this unit, and the bandit should be Chen Jiongming. But what should I do? This Luo Yiqun doesn’t seem very famous; it looks like there’s no future following him. Should I follow General Chiang? In the end, would we go to Taiwan together? That would be fine; at least I wouldn’t have to worry about food and clothing. Or, should I defect to the Communists? It seems there are purges, anti-rightist campaigns, and special periods; it sounds quite frightening. Uh, and that God seems to have given me an American diploma? The Republic of America is an enemy; it seems they wouldn’t accept me either.
"By the way! The universal elixir given by the immortal, let me give it a try." Thinking of the universal elixir, a small vial indeed appeared in Luo Yaoguo's right hand. Struggling to sit up, Luo Yaoguo used his trembling hand to laboriously twist open the bottle cap, and then poured out a white pill.
It seems to be the 11th year of the Republic now, and this should be Ruijin, Jiangxi, a good place for revolution. Luo Yaoguo put on his shirt, then leaned against the bed, closed his eyes, and began to recall carefully: I seem to have come to the Northern Expedition army with my uncle last month. This Northern Expedition seems to be led by Sun Dapao, no, it should be called the Father of the Nation, the former Premier. Hmm, that's not right either; he hasn't died yet, so I can't use 'former.' It seems to be called Sun Dashuai. This Northern Expedition was initiated by Sun Dashuai, but it was disrupted by a coup d'état initiated by the big shots on June 16, 11.
"Young Master, please rest for a moment; I shall take my leave now." Shunzi, with his clever big eyes blinking, understood the Young Master's intention and quickly took his leave, yet left behind a mirror that had been taken down from an unknown place in the room
Is it a straight flush? m.hetushu.com? Can you help me find a mirror? Luo Yaoguo, who is only half full, is most curious about how his new body looks. Does he have the charm to attract women? Uh, looking at that uncle with two dimples when he smiles, it seems he must not look bad either
At this moment, Luo Yaoguo's entire body had nearly regained sensation. After regaining consciousness, Luo Yaoguo (who is now the main character) discovered that there was a wound on his left leg. Oh, it seemed to have become severely inflamed and ulcerated. It appears that this is the cause of his "death," resulting from the inflammation of the wound.
Yes! Yes! Yes! It must be a divine manifestation! Father Steve, I am so grateful for your prayers. Luo Yiqun will come to the church for baptism tomorrow. Luo Zhong, hurry to Ruifeng Building to arrange the banquet; I want to treat the priest to a meal. Yaoguo, you have just recovered from a serious illness, do not stand in the courtyard. Shunzi, Shunzi, quickly attend to the young master and let him rest. Because he believes it is a divine manifestation, the look of surprise has vanished from Luo Yiqun's face, replaced by a sincere and devout smile. This middle-aged man has two dimples when he smiles, making him appear quite amiable. Yaoguo, you have just recovered from a serious illness, do not stand in the courtyard.

Hmm. Luo Qingyang exerted all his strength to make a sound, attempting to alert the man who was wailing loudly. The memories inherited from this deceased person informed Luo Qingyang that his current name was Luo Yaoguo, that he was 23 years old, and that he had just returned from graduating from the United States Military Academy at West Point to join the revolution. However, it seemed that this revolution was about to fail. The man mourning for him was named Luo Yiqun, his second uncle, who was currently serving as the acting chief of staff for some Northern Expedition Army.

Uh, it really sounds like a high-ranking official.
