In May 1862, England held an international industrial and art fair in Thames, and the Fuso Mission, which had come from afar, also got a valuable opportunity to demonstrate the existence of Fuso.

In fact, Europa did not lack Fuso's artwork before, but the impact was very small:

Before the founding of Fuso, the Languo Merchant House monopolized its trade with the West, and in addition to copper, camphor and other items, porcelain, pottery, lacquerware, Fuso swords, folding fans, paper umbrellas, and even ukiyo-e were exported.

The protagonist of the Siebold Affair in 1828 alone, Dr. Siebald, who was expelled the following year, brought back a considerable amount of Fuso art before he was captured.

These, combined with the numerous specimens of flora and fauna that were brought back, even supported the Doctor to open a museum.

But as a faraway and mysterious country, the art produced by it is difficult for Europa to be accepted, and its popularity is not high except for a particularly curious audience.

In 1859, when Fuso was opened to the outside world, the number of Fuso goods flowing into Europa increased, and the number of Fuso artworks began to grow.

In the original history, it was also because of the participation of the Fuso delegation in the Thames Exposition that Fuso's artworks, especially ukiyo-e, began to be gradually accepted by the Europa, which in turn influenced the development of Western painting, especially Impressionism.

But everything is difficult at the beginning, so although Fuso exhibits appeared at this Thames Expo, there are still not many interested visitors.

Almost no one paid attention to this, so the bored members of the Fuso mission found excuses to leave, including Oguri Tadashun, everyone went to see the diorama, and in the end only Kusahara Saburo, Otome and his wife and servants were left behind.

But when Oguri and other leaders came back after shopping, they found that their exhibition area had changed greatly:

Originally, the location here was relatively remote, and in addition, a few tourists who finally came over were not interested in Fuso art, so it was quite quiet.

But now, a large group of well-dressed gentlemen and ladies have gathered.

Among the Fuso servants who stayed behind, they hurriedly ran over to tell them, and everyone figured out what was going on:

It turned out that it was Otome again.

Didn't all the members of the mission leave, and among the rest of the people, it was actually Saburo Kusahara and Otome with the highest status, so if there were tourists coming, they could only be received by these two.

In fact, what the servants didn't dare to say was that we didn't understand the words of this foreign devil, and the interpreter and the British foreign affairs staff had left with you, what should we do? Only Saburo Hara and Otome can speak English, so they can only be received by others!

And then things are hilarious.

Originally, the mission was cautious and cautious, and the objects exhibited were all selected, and even the ukiyo-e, which was jokingly called "body painting" by later generations, were mainly based on landscape content, and the only few of them with characters were also dignified.

Ukiyo-e is generally rubbed from woodblock to washi paper, and it is a lot of hard work for the mission to go to sea, so there are not many woodblocks with you, but there are many rubbings.

But I don't know what's going on, but after strict inspection, there are a few hot style "beauty paintings" in the rubbing, and then, it was discovered by a few tourists who came here unintentionally.

When Xiao Li and the others heard this, they couldn't wait to scold:

"I don't know what's going on, this must be someone who has a private collection of beauty paintings, and then when they exhibited it, they were in a hurry and were mistakenly mixed in!

Shame on the Thames, this is really speechless. ”

The servant who came forward to report was originally elated, and seeing that the nobles' faces were pale, he didn't dare to sell the guanzi, so he quickly made a long story short and explained the matter clearly:

"Someone is making trouble, otome will show her power again, and I will greatly increase my Fuso godpower."

But this is too brief, Oguri and the others were so angry that they smoked, and they asked carefully to figure out what happened:

It turned out that the few tourists who discovered the beauty painting were originally good people - serious people, even if anyone had the leisure to sneak to the remote place of the Fusang booth, they couldn't look through the Fusang exhibits carefully.

So, after discovering the beauty painting, these swingers began to shout, and they also sent people to call friends, and it didn't take long to find a group of people to watch.

These people were full of admiration for the openness of Fuso's ethos, and when they saw that it was Fuso's booth, some of them were even more presumptuous, staring at Otome in obscurity while saying foul language—in the eyes of Fuso people, Otome was too robust and did not meet the standards of traditional beauties; But in fact, she has beautiful eyebrows and heroic spirit, which is quite in line with Western aesthetics.

This kind of inexplicable loss, where is Hara Saburo and Otome willing to eat, so they quarrel with each other.

Originally, this conflict was easy to stop:

The British specially assigned foreign affairs staff to the Fuso Mission, and if they came forward, presumably these foreigners would not dare to make trouble. But didn't these people follow Oguri and the others out for a walk, so they weren't there.

The inspection of the expo was also due to the remote location of the Fuso booth, so it did not catch up for a while.

Therefore, no one stopped the conflict, and the more noisy the two sides became, the more angry they became, and they actually played tricks:

In desperation, Saburo Kusahara explained that these beauty paintings were used by doctors, that is, tool drawings of gynecology.

But who was deceived by this nonsense, and these Westerners were also idle, so they really found a gynecologist and came to confront the Fuso people.

But something surprising happened, the gynecologist quickly lost the debate with Otome, and the sharp-tongued otome also beat the water dog, asking him not to treat people in the future.

Who can't hear this, the Fusang woman is scolding in a different way, and the implication is that this doctor is not only a quack, but also a veterinarian.

At this time, the expo patrol also arrived, and after understanding the reason, they dispersed the crowd.

Originally, this matter had come to an end, but what I didn't expect was that the defeated doctor who left in a gloomy way did not give up, and actually moved troops to call a large number of colleagues.

As for Otome, she actually became more and more courageous the more she fought, and she didn't know where to take out a bunch of instruments, books, and drawings, and compared to these doctors, she was not inferior at all.

There were already many people who came to see the fair, and as the news spread, the remote location could not stop the curiosity of the people - "The Oriental Witch actually defeated the British doctor", how exciting it is. We can't understand those inexplicable and wonderful works of art and stupid and coarse machinery, and we can't tell it clearly when we go home, so it's better to watch the excitement.

In this era, surgery is really "surgery", and amputation is more reliable, and there are many people who dare to operate in the abdomen, chest, and skull, but they are basically nonsense - the father of surgery, Theodore. Bill Roth is only 33 years old and is still in the emerging stage. The father is like this, and the son, of course, did not grow up.

As for Otome, the big killer she took out was a caesarean section, so of course, yes, it must be invincible.

Caesarean section surgery has existed since ancient times, but it was not until 1610 that the first modern caesarean section in the West took place - at that time, the uterine incision was not sutured, so the survival of the pregnant woman was basically dependent.

In 1876, someone finally reacted, but the solution was to simply remove the uterus during a caesarean section.

It wasn't until 1882 that doctors began to suture the uterus, and in 1860 the British physician Joseph? It's been 22 years since Lister invented sheep gut.

The surgical plan that Otome has come up with now, although it is also much rougher than that of the later generations, may always be good to save lives.

At this fair, there were quite a few knowledgeable surgical professors, who originally came to see the excitement, but after listening carefully, they were immediately shocked.

However, after the professors expressed their appreciation, it was not their turn—at this time, childbirth, especially the first child, was as terrible to the woman as the ghost door, so the ladies who watched the excitement had already swarmed up and surrounded the otome in the water.

When the members of the mission returned, they saw such a scene.

Everyone, of course, is only dumbfounded.

Although the development of Fuso's orchid science began with the introduction of anatomy, it was not until the 6th year of Ansei (1859) that the dissection of the human body was allowed - at that time, it was Sai Pu, the head of the Kuroda family in Fukuoka of Chikuzen Province, who first agreed to implement it in the main domain, and then the ban on Fuso was opened.

The shaved stomach in Beidi was first developed by international students using the research and accumulation of medical resources in the United States.

In short, except for the Northland, Fuso and Europa do not have such a preliminarily mature technique.

Therefore, otome is in the deed

After being affirmed by professionals, it was very popular with English ladies.

Moreover, Otome took out more than that:

The safe period is a long-standing achievement, and forceps are being improved today, but like the well-established caesarean section, the contraceptive ring, the contraceptive pill, the knee-thoracic corrective maneuver, and the blood type determination of blood transfusion techniques are all miracles today.

Especially later, Her Majesty the Queen of England also heard about Otome's miraculous contraception.

His Majesty had always had a headache and had too many births, and after confirming that Hara Saburo and Otome had succeeded in several caesarean section operations in the Thames, he immediately met with Otome - although Hara Saburo was in charge of the surgery, who made the queen interested in how to prevent pregnancy.

Afterwards, Otome's chubby face appeared on the face of The Times, and she became the first Fuso person whose profile picture was on this famous newspaper!

Compared with Otome, who was chased by the media, Hara Saburo was more recognized by professionals.

In particular, his promotion of acupuncture for asthma relief, the Hamlich maneuver and appendicitis techniques earned him the title of "Oriental Magic Hand".

At the same time, both of them are loved by English industry people:

Well, this disease doesn't look at people's financial status, and everyone is treated equally, who doesn't like a doctor who can save lives;

The other reason for liking it is ridiculous.

Because of the antibacterial reasons of folic acid, linen was recommended by Saburo Hara and Otome as the preferred fabric for surgical gowns and rehabilitation gowns.

At that time, the war between the north and the south of the rice people had been fought for more than a year, so the supply of cotton in the south of the rice people began to decrease significantly.

Linen is so highly regarded by Fuso Divine Doctor, which undoubtedly opens a new door for these industry people, not to mention surgical gowns and rehabilitation gowns, pajamas must also be the first choice of flax - because there is disease treatment and no disease prevention.

And along with the reputation of the otome couple, the environment of the Fuso mission has also been greatly improved:

Originally, England, as the first power in the West, took the little Fuso seriously at all.

If there was no indiscriminate entry of Naoxiu, the postponement of both Hong Kong and Hong Kong would have been agreed by the British, but it would have come at a huge cost.

According to the June 6, 1862 (Bun Jiu II?) Five? 9) The Thames Memorandum, the opening of Niigata and Hyogo, and the opening of the markets of Edo and Osaka, were postponed for five years from January 1, 1863, that is, until January 1, 1868. In exchange, however, Fuso had to abandon controls on free trade, such as the types, quantities, and prices of traded goods, as well as abolish restrictions on the places where ports could be opened.

In short, in order to negotiate the postponement of the opening of the port, the shogunate abandoned the restrictions and interference it imposed on domestic and foreign trade.

These can be compared to the trade facilitation that Britain and France gained in China after the "Yarrow War".

But these calculations are still not working.

Because the otome couple transferred a large amount of medical technology free of charge, and the good news was widely reported in the press, Fuso was no longer an uncivilized and barbaric country in the eyes of the English people.

Ordinary British people began to think that Fuso was also a civilized society, and at the very least, some outstanding people were good-willed, noble and friendly.

And the head of the Fuso Mission, Oguri Tadashun, was not idle.

With the assistance of Huitong & Co., he made a statement in the press, in which, in addition to his admiration for the power, civilization, and wealth of England, he also declared:

"What Fuso needs most is order and trade, and now the delay in opening the port is just too many unstable factors.

It is believed that with the help of British goodwill, Fuso will become an important trading partner of Britain in the East after it is stabilized. ”

This is too beautiful, and it is too much in line with the taste of the English liberal ~ factional people who govern the government.

Therefore, although a lot of concessions have been made, they are much less than the original Thames memo.

And after England agreed to postpone the opening of the port, France and other countries had to follow the pace of the boss and loosen up one after another.

Hearing this, the eyes of Oguri Tadashun's adopted daughter Yuzi were full of longing - although she had heard it many times, she had already known about the development behind, but she just never got tired of listening to it.

So she asked the same question as before:

"What about Otome?"
