Chapter 86 Before the Encirclement and Suppression
The weather in Shanghai is always annoying. It is cloudy and rainy, and it cannot be sweated, and it is very stuffy. However, all this did not hinder Lu Shouxian, the traveling doctor, and he was a little happy. Of course, this joy was not because of the plum rain, but because of something else.
Seeing that the rain was getting smaller outside the door, Lu Shou, who was sheltering from the rain in the teahouse, first picked up an oil-paper umbrella, rolled up his trousers, and walked along the street to Sima Road. There were not many pedestrians on the street. In half a minute, he arrived at Qifeng Book House. At this time, the people in the yard were waiting for him. When he heard the greetings from the servants outside the door, Xianfeng, who was a little uneasy in the room, calmed down.
Lu Shouxian was led into the yard by Xiaozan. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Xianfeng standing under the eaves, timidly blessed him and said, "Mr. Shixian is very miserable."
Lu Shouxian hurriedly returned the gift. In fact, he was only twenty-eight or nine years old. Although he was a famous doctor Tang Chunzhai in his early years, he only came to Shanghai to practice medicine last year. However, his medical skills were average and his reputation was not good. However, every time he came to Xianfeng, he would personally go to the yard to greet him. While he felt that he was sorry for the courtesy. After entering the house, he waited Xianfeng to leave his servants aside, he asked in a low voice: "What's the situation of the young master?"
When Xianfeng mentioned his injuries, her face darkened and said, "After taking the prescription prescribed by her husband, the urine was no longer so dark when she was incontinent. It was because the wound began to purify during this period, and the person still couldn't wake up..."
Lu Shouxian is one of the many admirers of Xianfeng. After taking the medicine several times, his injuries did not improve, Xianfeng had to find him. Lu Shouxian came and thought the beauty was ill, but he didn't know that it was for a man to treat the injury. The man was obviously shot and injured. Although the person was bandaged by someone, the injured person still did not wake up. Finally, when he saw the bullet he took out, he felt that the man was poisoned. Lu Shouxian didn't know what poison it was, but
All poisoning is necessary to detoxify, so combined with the original prescription, Lu Shouxian prescribed another pair of medicines that mainly renal, but rhubarb, Huang Ling, etc., which is actually Yang Rui's life. The bullet did not hit his back directly. Instead, it was shot into the vest after penetrated the arm of a guard, which caused the bullet to break the ribs and stagnate. At the same time, the poison on it was also reduced a lot. Now he is half reliant on Chinese medicine to detoxify and half relied on autoimmunity to recover his injuries.
Hearing that the urine was no longer so dark, Lu Shouxian felt relieved and said, "The urine is not so dark. That means that the toxicity has been relieved. However, it is not good to detoxify. Originally, the body is weak after the injury. After taking the medicine today, you should slow down and take care of it tomorrow. This way you can avoid the damage. As for the wound to become suppurated..." Lu Shouxian pondered for a moment: "Now the plum rain has come, and this kind of weather is most likely to cause pus. Therefore, it is better to use Western alcohol to clean the wound and remove the pus muscles."
After Lu Shouxian finished speaking, Xianfeng recorded it carefully. But after a while, Lu Shouxian said again: "You can also use some of the yellow medicine powder left by that person before. I took it back and tested it, it was suppuration and muscle growth."
The yellow powder Lu Shouxian mentioned was sulfonamide powder. Ye Yunbiao left a lot of it after treating the wound, but there was no sign on it. Xianfeng did not dare to use it randomly. When Lu Shouxian saw this thing on the suture wound, he took some back for experiments and found that the powder was really magical. This was actually one of Lu Shouxian's recent happy events. Practicing medicine is his job, but his other hobby is writing novels, especially writing stories about martial arts. The inexplicable relationship between the inexplicable beauty and the injured in bed now made him curious about all these things.
Lu Shou first explained some things to pay attention to for the injured, and then went upstairs to take a closer look at the injury. In fact, the suppuration of the wound on his back was not serious, and the urine was still black. Lu Shouxian sighed in his heart, but he had to comfort him: "This urine is lighter than before, and the pulse is calmer than the previous two days. It is because this disease needs to be cured. I am afraid it will not be cured in one or two months. There is also poison that damages the liver, and the liver opens to the eyes. The liver and eyes can distinguish the five colors..."
Xianfeng was stunned when she heard this and murmured: "Then... can he see things in the future?"
"Of course, it can be seen, but this will only be cured by the poison." Lu Shouxian explained. When Xianfeng was about to ask again, Xiaozang's voice came from outside the yard, "Miss is better to treat the disease, Sister Guifeng should come later."
Guifeng said, "I'm here to see my sister, why do you still want to stop me?" After that, he pushed Xiaozan and the aunt beside him away, and rushed straight into the door.
Guifeng is an old man from Qifenglou, but she has never had any other good feelings for Xianfeng. There are some jealousy and some dissatisfied tempers. Everyone is a chicken in the grass nest, but a phoenix flew out of the grass nest, which made her bear it. Especially Xianfeng really sells herself but not her skills. Isn’t this a “biaozi” and set up a archway? Not only her, but Zhufeng, who has just started business, was also jealous. This time, seeing that a doctor came to her house, the two women wanted to come over to make a sarcasm.
When Guifeng entered the door, Xianfeng and Lu Shou had already gone downstairs first. As soon as Guifeng saw the practice of medicine, he said, "Oh, sir, what kind of disease is my sister? I have been decocting medicine every day for ten days. The whole way of the medicine residue is poured down. Both of our sisters are worried about death."
Guifeng said he was worried, but his face was full of smiles. Lu Shouxian had been told by Xianfeng to keep it confidential. Now, when he heard Guifeng ask, he said, "Oh, there is no serious illness, just a little asymptotically, just take medicine to recuperate. I will say goodbye to me. After that, I bowed and left.
As soon as the doctor left, Zhufeng came up and grabbed Xianfeng's arm and asked, "What's wrong with me? Could it be that my injury last time had not healed?" Zhufeng said about the last time she swallowed hibiscus cake.
Seeing these two people who were obviously concerned about it but actually laughed at it, Xianfeng also smiled and said, "My sister is just a headache and fever, just take medicine. But when will Sister Guifeng redeem herself? Alas, Mr. Ying is lucky now. If you don't pass the door faster, this is probably... Alas, my unfaithful sister, my unfaithful husband."
Xianfeng has a slender body, but her heart is very straightforward. As soon as someone scolded her, she dared to beat her back. Li Boyuan, who reported to the game, said that she was a lowly person and had a higher heart than the sky. Her words "The unfaithful man and his miserable sister" immediately turned Guifeng's face green. In fact, Ying Guixin used to only ask Guifeng to have food and drink, but now he has gone luck. However, he has rarely come, and he has completely forgotten the fact that he redeems Guifeng for his life.
Guifeng's face turned black after being green, but turned red after being black. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sisters, come here, just to tell my sister not to pour the medicine residue all over the street. People who don't know, they thought that the female gentlemen in our Qifeng Tower were all sick."
When Xianfeng heard this, she knew that the servants had not done their job well, so she was still used to pouring medicine residue on the road so that pedestrians could take away the bad luck. She just thought that she would tell the people below not to do this later, but forgot to fight back this time. After Guifeng finished speaking, she saw Xianfeng not talking, thinking that she would get some face back, and she stood up and went out happily, but when she was about to go out, she said: "I thought she was a noble person. Who would have thought she was a bad guy, but she would have rotten if she was rotten, and she said she really had no pulse."
"Ha, no matter how bad I am, it's better than paying others to pay for it. My sister is better off in Qifenglou, and it's good to be a mother in the future." Xianfeng saw him splashing feces and angrily responded. She just waited for the two of them to leave the yard. She said to the aunt and Xiaozan who were standing in the room: "Didn't you say before? Don't let anyone in at this time."
Xianfeng was strong in nature, but she was very good to the servants. As soon as she said this, she praised her: "Just just heard knocking on the door. She asked who it was but didn't say anything. When she opened the door, Guifeng and the others pushed the door hard and couldn't hold it."
Looking at Xiaozan's pitiful look, Xianfeng had to say, "Then don't open the door if you don't say who it is. Also, don't fall on the road in the future. It's bad luck or bad luck. Come when it's time to come and leave when it's time to leave."
"We will come when we should come, and we will leave when we should leave." Zhong Mei also said. He was standing on Mantou Mountain at this time, looking at the members of the Tongmenghui who came out of nowhere, and was talking to Zhang Chengyue and Zhong Guanggao: "We just need to send the guns to them and then send the garrison officers to command them. Don't worry too much about other matters."
Zhong Mei doesn't care, but political commissar Zhang Chengyue doesn't think so. He said: "If the army does not completely obey us, then arming them will cause trouble for themselves. How can Mr. Cai agree to such a thing?"
"Yinge, no matter how many members of the Tongmenghui come to, it's enough for me to be the governor of Zhejiang. Now the Revival Society leads the Tongmenghui, not the Tongmenghui leads the Revival Society. We just need to grasp this point. Besides, Guangxu has established a constitution so soon, and the Manchu new army is probably coming soon. At this time, we must unite all the forces that must unite." Zhang Chengyue was considering the issue of the Revival Society commanding guns, and Zhong Mei was thinking about how to preserve the existing revolutionary fruits and expand the revolutionary issue.
"Hey, after reading the briefing on Tokyo, I just thought that the Tongmeng would be too bullying. Moreover, the Two Sessions were actually revolutionary parties, but their purpose was different. Now that they were raised, they would definitely suffer in the future." Mantou Yama was originally a barracks of the patrol team. Although it was a barracks, it was very dilapidated. It always leaked when it rained, but the other barracks were full, and the two hundred people from the Tongmenghui could only be here. Now these people are shooting targets. Following the officer's command to shoot, "bang, bang, bang...", the unique white smoke after the black powder bullets fired for a long time, making the camp hazy.
"That's how do you think?" Walking to the stone east of the top of the mountain, Zhong Mei turned around and looked at Zhang Chengyue and asked seriously.
"If you don't think so, what else can you think? Even Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang destroyed Chen Youliang first and then went on the northern expedition. What I am worried about is that after we came down from the northern expedition, Chen Youliang got up by your side." Zhang Chengyue read a lot of history books, and rebellion and seizing the world in all dynasties have been like this. "We must first settle the internal situation before fighting against foreign countries. This is the practice of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. On the other hand, Chongzhen first had to be destroyed by Li Zicheng, and the country was destroyed by death, which is a pity."
Seeing Zhang Chengyue really thinking this way, Zhong Mei laughed, "Yinge, I understand everything you said, but the emperor has ended since our generation, and these rules will also end from our generation. Autocracy is formed, while republic is discussed. It is not possible to always wander around the old circle. The great changes in the three thousand years that Li Hongzhang said are exactly the time. Can we, those of us, get out of this three thousand years of knot?"
"The Republic cannot be obtained by just talking about it." Zhang Chengyue shook his head, "Things in China will change, but not in our generation. At least we can change after we die."
"Haha, you are much more pessimistic than me." Zhong Mei said.
"It's not that I'm pessimistic. All the facts are like this." Zhang Chengyue still expressed his own opinion, "The gun must be strong in troubled times."
"What else can we do now? In the past few days, not only the people from the Tongmenghui, but also from the Rishihui, but also some people from the Gelaohui have come to join us. Although there are not many people, there are still many talents in it. This is actually the best time for us to expand our influence, and we must not drive them away. Besides, I remember when I was at Nanyang Public School, I saw a sentence in the newspaper that was said by American President Roosevelt. He said, 'Speak gentle, but bring a big stick', which the Westerners called big stick diplomacy. The current Revival Society must be the same. The army cannot be lost, but the other revolutionary groups should be gentle."
Zhong Mei's metaphor is interesting. Just when Zhang Chengyue was about to speak, the people from the Tongmenghui were already here. The person who came was Zhao Sheng from the Tongmenghui. He was a Dantu from Jiangsu. He used to be a coach in the Jiangsu New Army. Because he promoted the anti-Qing army in the army, he was investigated by Duan Fang, the governor of Liangjiang. Later, because Xu Shaozhen was strongly guaranteed, he was dismissed from his post. This time, he came after hearing the news. He was the earliest member of the Tongmenghui to come.
"Boxian." Zhong Mei bowed from afar and smiled.
Zhong Mei was smiling. But Zhao Sheng's face was not good. He held a rod of Lin Mingden and got a needle gun. After saluting, he said, "Grandmaster, this gun..." As he said, he handed over the gun, "This thing is really useless. There is also bullets, which are reviving. There is a soldier who even fired four bullets without catching fire."
Zhong Mei had seen the gun in his hand for a long time and knew what the problem was. He did not answer immediately, but picked up the gun. The gun was actually rusted. Not only the guardrail, but also the gun barrel and the gun barrel were rusted. It was originally a wet place, and it was not maintained at all. This was considered to be the Remington Gun Factory in America that was worthy of the Qing Dynasty.
Zhang Chengyue didn't say anything, Zhong Mei took the gun and said, "Boxian, this gun has been around for twenty or thirty years, and it's older than our grade, so it's not easy to use. But you came later and there is no gun."
"This..." Zhao Sheng has been to Hangzhou for the longest time and was once the coach of the new army. He had known that the military government's military was extremely poor. The best gun was from the Huayichang Army, which were all made by German continuous rifles or Hanyang. The recruits recruited in the early stage were also the Mauser 71/84 rifles. Later, he only sucked Lin Mingden. As for those domestic continuous rapid sharp guns, the failure rate was extremely high, and there was no one at all.
"Grandmaster, can't you buy firearms from outside?" Zhao Sheng said: "Didn't that Japanese man, Nagachi Hirano, say you can buy retired rifles from the active Japanese army?"
"Hey, now the entire Hangzhou Bay has been blocked by foreigners and Qing soldiers. If you buy a gun, you can't transport it in. That Xuanye Nagachi is afraid that there is no way to bring the gun in." Purchasing guns is not the most important thing, but the most important thing is that the trade route is smooth. There are tens of thousands of rifles in South Africa, but what should I do if I can't transport it in.
"I don't know if it's time to come in, but I always have to try it." Zhao Sheng has been training soldiers in the military camp, but I don't know the situation outside. In fact, Sun Wen sent a lot of people to Hangzhou this time, but most of them were outside personnel. Only Hu Hanmin and Japanese students Qiao Yisheng, Fang Seoul and others were there. Huang Xing had already arrived in Hong Kong at this time and was planning a Chaozhou Uprising with Xu Xueqiu. Hu Hanmin knew that the senior management of the Revival Association had agreed to the Tongmenghui come to Hangzhou to assist in defending the city. As soon as he came, he strongly recommended Qiao Yisheng and others, saying that these people could bring their own army and wanted the Tongmenghui to capture some troops.
In fact, as usual, the matter in China is about face-saving. The Tongmenghui comes from thousands of miles away, and the military government needs to sell some face more or less. However, Zhong Guanggao, who is responsible for training, only recognizes the number but not the people. All the people in the Tongmenghui participated in the assessment. All the people who were not able to be in the military, and even a few international students with weak systems did not want to join the army. Hu Hanmin was so angry that he only sued Zhong Mei, who was born in the military academy and fought many wars. He understood that everything in the army was not careless.
If it is OK, it will not work. If you really want to bring face to the army, it is no different from the Qing Dynasty. You will also firmly maintain Zhong Guanggao's decision. In the end, Hu Hanmin had to report Sun Wen to Sun Wen in the name of destroying the unity of the Two Sessions. However, because Sun Wen was already on the overseas ship, the matter was temporarily abandoned. Qiao Yisheng and Fang Seoul did not enter the army in the end, but went to the Ministry of Government. The only one who could do the Tongmenghui in the army was still Zhao Sheng.
"I've tried it, and the ship was detained by foreigners." Zhong Mei smiled bitterly: "I guess our revolutionary army is still relatively weak. They think that the Qing Dynasty can deal with us. Otherwise, those foreigners will have to get out of the situation."
"Is the situation so serious?" Zhao Sheng's face changed a lot. He knew the current situation of the military government. It is difficult to use poor equipment and insufficient supplies. In addition, there are many new recruits. Although they have been training hard, they have only been more than half a month. What effect can they have?
"It's very serious. The vanguard of the Qing army has arrived in Huzhou. Qing soldiers have advanced to Jiaxing and Ningbo. They are afraid they will be in the three directions to fight." Looking at Zhao Sheng's gradually solemn face, Zhong Mei smiled and said with a smile: "In fact, this is also the Qing Tartars who saw that we were short of guns and ammunition, so they wanted to send us guns and cannons. We should not let them down."
"Yes, the Grand Governor! We must live up to their good intentions and must take all the guns and cannons." Zhong Mei was the governor of the military government, and was promoted to be a hero who rejected Russia. He has a great prestige in the entire army. Now he is not afraid of the three-way encirclement of the Qing Dynasty. Zhao Sheng is also deeply infected and wishes to have a decisive battle tomorrow.
While a few people were chatting in Mantou Mountain, the soldiers who had finished shooting training were pulled out of the camp to practice digging bunkers at the foot of the mountain. The foreigners blocked forced ammunition, but there was no limit on civilian supplies such as iron shovels. Most of them equipped with a Tonghua-produced engineer shovel. This engineer shovel was made by Tonghua special steel mills and was made of small and sharp. The head of the shovel was cut off on one side and saw toothed on the other side. The power of the longer wooden handles without bayonets was far inferior. However, the fighting exercises of the engineer shovels were not taught yet. Now they were just training to dig bunkers, and they were the simplest individual bunkers to build trenches, traffic trenches, bulletproof places, and near-force operations have not been taught yet.
Zhao Sheng looked at the civil engineering work site below and said, "Grandmaster. It's unheard of for fighting like this, but in this way, the casualty rate can be greatly reduced."
"This is how Japan and Russia fight. I'm afraid there will be no one in the future." Zhong Mei responded quietly and looked at the people at the foot of the mountain. Because they did not have enough military uniforms, they didn't want the garbage uniforms of the Qing soldiers. The newly recruited troops were wearing colorful clothes. However, no matter how colorful Zhong Mei could still tell the local people, the allies from the Tongmenghui, and the gangs from the Gelaohui. Among these, the local people were digging the fastest. Others were still digging trenches. When they were squatting, they were already digging trenches, and the people from the Tongmenghui were the slowest.
While Zhong Mei was watching civil engineering work on the mountain, somewhere at the foot of the mountain, Bai Lailele, a British military officer in China, and Holland, a reporter from the South of Times, were watching the group of soldiers who were in dishevelled and like bandits digging soil. Bai Lailele asked Xie Zhangtai, who was accompanying him next to him, "Mistche, what are they doing?"
The Revival Society focused on cultivating talents in military, science, politics and business, but no one was on diplomatic side for a while. When Xie Zhangtai, who was in Hong Kong, heard that Hangzhou had successfully carried more than 100 Guangdong members. His original intention was to guard Hangzhou and train military talents for Guangdong, but he did not expect that no one could use Zhong Mei heard that he was an overseas Chinese in Australia and was even more proficient in English, so he asked him to replace those professionals and manage foreign affairs. Zhejiang is the sphere of influence of the British. Although the UK is now on the side of the Qing Dynasty, for diplomatic plans, Cai Yuanpei still ordered Zhong Mei to receive these British embassy staff who came as reporters.
The tour route was arranged by the military government, and the visiting meeting had been explained long ago. Xie Zhangtai smiled and replied: "We have very insufficient ammunition, so we can only hide it and then fight back at the right time."
Hearing Xie Zhang's Thai words, Bai Laile also smiled and said, "The British fleet should not intercept your merchant ships, but personally, I hope the Revolutionary Army can reconcile with the Qing government. Mistchel, you have less than 5,000 well-trained soldiers, a large number of new recruits, and there is not enough ammunition. In this case, reconciliation is the most beneficial to you. Of course, this is purely my personal suggestion and does not represent any government."
