Chapter 1 Sneak Attack on Shanhaiguan Songliao Grand Canal

'God Hand Zhang' Zhang Bengui did not follow the team this time because he had a lot of things at hand.

First of all, the medical school in Taiyuan needs to be expanded, and the Jin Wangfu that was originally shared with Xiao Hongyu and their art academy is not enough. Zhang Bengui and Xiao Hongyu discussed, and they both felt that the situation in the Jin Wangfu was more suitable for Xiao Hongyu and their art academy, so they decided to choose a new place in Taiyuan and build a new medical school. The location was chosen outside the city of Taiyuan, on the edge of the Fen River. For more long-term development, Zhang Bengui set aside a very large place. At the same time, Zhang Bengui also wants to build a hospital at the same time as building the college, which is an opportunity for the teachers and students of the college to have an internship and practice nearby, and at the same time improve the medical level of Taiyuan.

Secondly, now Zhang Bengui has invited many famous doctors with a high salary. Combined with the medical and teaching experience in the past few years, he plans to organize everyone to revise the teaching materials. Some of them are general textbooks, and they will be revised according to the specific majors of the students after two years. This is a huge amount of work, and each textbook has a main author, and there are three main authors, and finally everyone has to discuss it before it can be finalized. Because this is a major matter involving human life, it is not allowed to be sloppy at all.

Zhang Zhimu and Zhang Bingchen came to Zhang Bengui's office and talked about antibiotics, Zhang Bengui said: "Zhimu, I agree with Bingchen's opinion. We should expand the production of sulfonamides and penicillin, and the bigger the scale, the lower the cost will be, and the people will be able to afford it. ”

Since Uncle Zhang also has this opinion. Then let's let Li Yunhe arrange it and expand the scale of production. Zhang Zhimu said, "Originally, I thought that our production scale was enough. It seems that, as Bingchen said, we have neglected the overseas market. There must be a lot of drugs that have been exported overseas in large quantities. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so expensive in the market. However, this medicine cannot be used by oneself. It's dangerous for them to be shipped out for use! ”

"Oops! I said, nephew, you're thinking about things by our standards here. When we take medication, we should consider the dosage and duration of use. But there are many places where the sick are waiting for them to die, and they don't care about that. They all follow the instructions for their own medication. Therefore, I have repeatedly emphasized that we must print detailed instructions on the packaging of our medicines. Some glass bottles are not only sealed with wax and cork, but also have a wooden box. It is for the convenience of long-distance transportation. Zhang Bengui said a little excited, "We don't have enough medicines here, which means that they have been shipped elsewhere, I don't know how many people they can save in other places!" ”

"Good! This is also a matter of immeasurable merit. Zhang Zhimu said, "We are determined to expand the scale of drug production." Bingchen, you also need to intensify the research and development of new drugs. ”

"Yes, Bingchen," Zhang Bengui also said, "you will spend more of your energy on developing new drugs." A new drug has been released, and I don't know how many people can be saved. Look at the present, how much tuberculosis and other diseases that were difficult to treat in the past, how much have we cured? In the past, many people who had a mortal illness could be saved as long as they went to our hospital. And the wounded on our battlefield, basically as long as they can be carried down alive, we can almost save them. It's all thanks to the new drug. ”

"Mr. Zhang, master, don't worry. We didn't dare to relax in the development of new drugs. The hospital conditions on our side of the army are much better than they were at the beginning. We built an animal experiment center behind us. In the future, it will be much easier to test new drugs. "Recently, we have extracted some new sulfonamides with Master Qingfengzi's students, and we want to test their toxicity and then test what they do." I guess I can sift through something useful. It's just that the work you made us sift for antimicrobials out of the soil hasn't yielded substantial results yet. That's just too much work. ”

"How easy is it to pick a drug?" Zhang Zhimu said, "These things are not urgent, and we must persevere." By the way, how did you and Li Yunhe do in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber? ”

"The pressure measuring instrument is still a little unstable. Yang Chang's people have been messing with it, as long as they're okay. The hyperbaric chamber will be fine. ”

"Hmmm! Don't let it go. In the future, we will not be able to do without this thing for deep-sea diving and caisson construction. Zhang Zhimu said.

Zhang Bingchen also agreed.

Zhang Zhimu asked again about the national cowpox planting, and left Zhang Bingchen's master and apprentice. But when leaving, remind them once again that they must be careful not to abuse antibiotics. Pointing out to them that the misuse of antibiotics can lead to the development of resistance to antibiotics, with serious consequences.

Nowadays, antibiotics are rarely used, and a little antibiotic can be effective if you are sick. That's why people think of antibiotics as a miracle drug.

After Zhang Zhimu left, Zhang Bingchen asked Zhang Bengui: "Master, who is this Mr. Zhang?" How did he know so much about it? ”

"Humph!" Zhang Bengui snorted twice with his nose and said, "I also want to know, but I didn't dare to ask." I asked Chen Yufeng's old guy, and he was also pretending to be a ghost with me, and I don't think he knows. It is said that the gods and men see the beginning but not the end, maybe this is what they are talking about, right? ”

"Mr. Zhang is usually amiable, but I feel nervous when I see him." Zhang Bingchen touched his head and said.

"We met Him as our creation. Don't think about anything else, just do what you have to do. ”

Huang Yukun and their garment factory started to work as soon as they got to work. Because they had to prepare clothes for the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition to spend the winter in the Northeast, they could not wait for the army to set off, and the materials were not yet ready. Now Huang Yukun's garment factory is very large-scale, and the director of the factory is Zhang Zhimu, who rescued the mother of the mother and daughter with Lu Chengxiang when they went north, and is now Meng Si'er's mother-in-law. The women who came back with Yaogang in Wild Boar Ridge are now all Huang Yukun's cronies, and they are already leaders of many departments. They are very confident one by one, and they regard themselves as old people in the kiln wherever they go. Opening your mouth is how we were in the beginning. However, they are also very heartfelt, and Huang Yukun is also very handy with them. In various factories and other units, Sister-in-law Xu usually cares, and Huang Yukun doesn't need to ask about everything, but now he feels a lot more relaxed. After freeing up energy, several farms have been built in several surrounding counties. The supply of eggs and poultry milk in Yaogang is more sufficient.

When he went home in the evening, Zhang Zhimu asked Huang Yukun, "How are your military uniforms prepared?" ”

"Don't worry! Our skins were ready for a long time. Ensure that every soldier who marches into Liaodong has a fur coat, a cotton hat, leather gloves, and big leather boots. There are also leather leggings. Cotton is the best cotton. Huang Yukun replied proudly.

"Okay!" Zhang Zhimu was very happy, "If only we could have a down sleeping bag." I have asked Mr. Lu to urge the cadres in the south to think of a way. ”

"Duck down is a good thing, it's just that the clothes and sleeping bags are easy to run. Duck down can come out of the eye of the needle in the silk. ”

"Hey! Just use a layer of non-woven fabric inside. Zhang Zhimu came out casually, and after saying that, Zhang Zhimu knew and said more. What kind of non-woven fabric is there now?

Huang Yukun is used to Zhang Zhimu's frequent words, "Tell me, what's the matter with non-woven fabrics?" ”

Xiaoqing also came over to coax and said, "That's right! Uncle, what is a non-woven fabric? ”

At first glance, Zhang Zhimu said: "Actually, it is to spread the fiber flat and press it into cloth by heat sealing." Cloth that does not need to be woven is called non-woven fabric. However, you need to use chemical fibers, and cotton fibers can't be pressed together into cloth. ”

"Is it the new type of adhesive fiber that the newspaper says?" Xiaoqing asked.

"I don't know if it's going to work with that kind of adhesive fiber." Zhang Zhimu said, "I'll let Lu Qi and them try it!" After speaking, Zhang Zhimu asked Xiaoqing: "The newspaper said that the adhesive fiber has been successful?" ”

"Huh! Yesterday's newspaper reported that it had been successful. Xiaoqing replied, "The newspaper said that the uncle who developed adhesive fiber did not return home during the Chinese New Year, and finally pulled it into adhesive fiber." I heard that it is an adhesive fiber made of wood. Will we be able to weave clothes out of wood in the future? ”

"If it's successful, they'll work well with cotton." Zhang Zhimu knew too well that there was not enough cotton now, and he thought too much that this viscose fiber could succeed.

"Is it like acetate?" It seems that Xiaoqing knows a lot of things.

"That's right! How do you know this? ”

"Oops! Our school often organizes us to visit the factory. It was all introduced to us by the uncle there. Xiaoqing said.

"That's a good thing to promote! Letting students know more about things will be beneficial for them in the future. Zhang Zhimu said to Huang Yukun.

"How can it all be like this?" Huang Yukun said, "That is, Xiaoqing and several of their key schools have this opportunity, not all schools have such an opportunity." ”

"This is not okay, in the future, you have to tell the Education Bureau that all school students should have the opportunity to visit factories, mines, military and other units. It is very beneficial for students to broaden their horizons. Zhang Zhimu said.

"Good! I'll arrange for the Secretary for Education to do this tomorrow. Huang Yukun promised, "Hey! I have a suggestion for you. Do you remember that when we were raising sheep to be killed for the New Year, someone suggested killing the person who was frozen early, so as to save feed? ”

"Hmmm! I'm really impressed when you say it. Didn't that person let you rob it? ”

"Now this person is my most powerful helper besides Sister-in-law Xu. He said to me, let me give you a suggestion. If we want to solve the problem of traffic congestion on our commute. Bicycles can be mass-produced, and the price of bicycles can be reduced to the level that workers can afford. Now is not the time to develop cars. Because there are so many things that need to be matched by the car. It can't be popularized all at once. ”

Huang Yukun's words made Zhang Zhimu resound the river of bicycles when he commuted to work in the city in his previous life, Zhang Zhimu blurted out, "This is a great talent, you have to make good use of this person." ”

"Of course, you didn't see that our kiln gang has increased so much population every year, basically nothing big happened, this person has a lot of credit." Speaking of this person, Huang Yukun also admires it very much.

"You have to let this person cultivate more useful people." Zhang Zhimu became interested in this person.

"You! Don't hit this person's idea. Huang Yukun was alert. She can't let go of her right-hand man.

Zhang Zhimu knew in his heart that this person could let Huang Yukun give him advice, that is, this person already wanted to do more and wanted to attract his attention. At this point, this person's purpose has been achieved. But now I really can't touch Huang Yukun and their people. The management of kilns is also a very complex job, and I hope that they can sum up their experience in urban construction and management in the future.

Seeing Huang Yukun's nervous appearance, Zhang Zhimu said: "Don't be nervous, I think such an excellent person should have greater achievements." You go back and suggest to him that he should summarize the experience and lessons of urban construction and management, and preferably write a book. Let everyone in the world refer to it. ”

"That's a great idea." Huang Yukun said, "I also think that this is a very talented person, and he should do more." But we also need capable people here. In this way, when he is fine, writing books can also play his role. Otherwise, I also feel that there is some buried talent. ”

Originally, as soon as he went to work, Zhang Zhimu wanted to call Lu Qi to study the non-woven fabric, but as soon as he entered the house, Chen Yufeng's phone called.

Chen Yufeng said on the phone: "Zhimu, last night Dolgon led troops to attack Shanhaiguan. I didn't hit it, it was too late yesterday, so I didn't let you know. ”

"Okay, you wait for me. I'll go right over. Zhang Zhimu put down the phone and came to the command center.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw that Li Zhi had arrived. Li Zhi came over and said: "Last night, our intelligence officer sent a telegram saying that the Manchu army would attack in the middle of the night. This morning another telegram came saying that the Manchus had not taken advantage of it last night and had just retreated. ”

Due to the arrival of Dolgon's soldiers at Daankou and Longjing Pass, Li Zhi and them did not have any news, and Li Zhi always felt that he could not raise his head. In fact, Zhang Zhimu didn't blame him, Dolgon is also a generation of heroes, and it is not surprising that he sincerely wants to take secret actions to hide from the intelligence officers. But Li Zhi himself could not forgive himself. I've been very uneasy. Fortunately, this time Dolgon attacked Shanhaiguan, and they got the information as soon as possible.

Because he got the news in the middle of the night, Li Zhi didn't dare to disturb Zhang Zhimu, and directly notified Liu Yun, Liu Yun notified Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He, but Chen Yufeng didn't let Zhang Zhimu be notified again. Because it's so late, it's useless to inform Zhang Zhimu, so it's better to wait until tomorrow.

After Ouyang He came over to give Zhang Zhimu a seat, he said, "Mr. Zhang, it is estimated that Emperor Chongzhen has not yet received this news. Shall we send a telegram to the emperor? ”

"That's right! Use the password to inform the emperor of this matter. I wonder if the emperor is willing to let his civil and military personnel know about this? Zhang Zhimu said to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi agreed.

Chen Yufeng said: "As long as Wu Sangui is prepared, Dolgon will not take advantage of anything. We don't have to worry. ”

"Yes! Most of the muskets and hands we gave to the emperor were given to Shanhaiguan. They should have been able to deal with the Manchus. Zhang Zhimu said, "Actually, Dolgon doesn't know, even their occupation of Shanhaiguan has little impact on us. There is not much difference between us and them fighting in Shanhaiguan and fighting in Jinzhou. I think we can ignore them and go according to our own plans! ”

Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He both nodded in agreement with Zhang Zhimu's opinion.

Ouyang He said: "Yesterday, a telegram came from Mu Yi's side. Li Zicheng's army, with the cooperation of our various warships and gunboats, has cleared all the places along the river, as well as the entire north of the Red River. They were very ruthless and killed a lot of people. However, Li Zicheng also adopted our method of using razing to defeat raze, and also using the method of attaching equal importance to grace and power. They also recruited those who were willing to surrender, especially those opposed to the Leys, and used them to help govern the area. They know the Annan people better, and the effect is okay now. ”

"Did that Li Li wake up?" Zhang Zhimu was very concerned about Li Li's situation, because if he could be subdued, Annan's affairs would be much easier.

"Wake up, wake up, but old guy Li Li will not surrender to death. Li Zicheng has no choice. Ouyang He said.

"They didn't grasp Leeley's weakness. Send a report to Mu Yi and ask him to tell Li Zicheng that Li Li's weakness is his family. Zhang Zhimu knew that Li Li was not afraid of death. I'm afraid that I don't have an heir.

"This time Li Zicheng should know what to do! Hehe! Ouyang He said with a smile, "A large number of Li Zicheng's officials, Jiang Wei and they also helped send them to Annan." Li Zicheng also learned from us and wanted to turn the occupied areas into his rear. But he should know that Annan is not the same as we are. Many Annam people also think that they are invaders, and it is difficult to submit to them from the heart. It will take a long time to get them to be completely converted. The education of their next generation will have to keep up. ”

"Also, our Hongzehu and Fenzhou have already set sail for Sulu. When the south wind rises, they will come back together. Ouyang He said.

"Did you inform Fan Song of them?" Zhang Zhimu asked.

"Having been contacted, Fan Song and they promised to choose an island with guano immediately. Fight to pull a boatload of guano back. Ouyang He said.

"It would be nice if that were the case. That's the best phosphate fertilizer. Zhang Zhimu said, "If you go to pull bird droppings in the future, you should bring a large number of kraft paper bags, and use kraft paper bags to pack bird droppings, which is convenient for transportation." It's also convenient to come back and divide the guano. ”

"There is still half a year to go, and Li Zicheng should be able to deal with Nan'an. Now Li Li's main force has been injured. Chen Yufeng said, "Our navy comes back, repairs it, and will deal with the Manchu side immediately." They don't have long to spare. ”

"yes, the trolls don't have a lot of free time. Our new ship is about to be launched, and the navy has to assign personnel to take over the new ship, so there are many things. Also, the barges towed by our tugboats can't be towed in big waves. These are all problems that need to be solved by them. Ouyang He said.

"Are the Annam captives going to come back with our fleet?" Zhang Zhimu asked.

"Can't!" Ouyang He said, "Liu Chenghuang needs some prisoners on Hainan Island. Mu Yi wanted to send them 10,000 people. There were also some prisoners, escorted by Li Zicheng's army, and walked on foot to our Nanning side. It's good to get to Nanning, you can use a barge to send it to Lingqu, and it's easy to do it when you come to the Xiangjiang River. ”

"More than 100,000 captives will be transported for a while." Zhang Zhimu knew that the captives were not lucky.

"Huh! Mr. Zhang wants to send them all to Liaodong, does he want to build the railway immediately? Ouyang He asked.

"The railway in Liaodong can't be taken care of for the time being." Saying that, Zhang Zhimu stood up, came to the map of Liaodong, and said, "But we can make good use of the Liaohe River and the Songhua River." I want to communicate with the Liaohe Songhua River first and build the Songliao Canal. In this way, we enter the Liao River from the Bohai Sea, and then through the Songliao Canal, into the Songhua River, we can enter the Heilongjiang River, and then enter the Tatar Strait. Connect the Whale Sea and the Bohai Sea. ”

When Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He heard Zhang Zhimu say this, they all got up and came to the map. What Zhang Zhimu said was not something he thought of on a whim. In the original history, Emperor Qianlong and Sun Yat-sen's founding strategy both mentioned the construction of the Songliao Canal. Zhang Zhimu believes that if the railway cannot be built immediately, then we have manpower to dig between the Songhua River and the Liaohe River.

Seeing that Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He were interested, Zhang Zhimu pointed to the Dongliao River and the Songhua River and said, "We can dig a 300-kilometer-long canal from here." But first of all, a dam with locks should be built on the Songhua River to raise the water level of the Songhua River. Get it right, our canal can pass 3,000-ton boats. This means that our boats from Lingshui Pier can directly enter this side of the Whale Sea. With such a canal, the Songliao Plain, a large granary, can be developed. I don't understand, the Manchus occupied such a good place, and they still wanted Shanxi merchants to get them grain, I really don't understand. Zhang Zhimu said with some excitement.

Ouyang He said: "The Manchu Qing Dynasty is still in a state of incomplete civilization, and they don't know how to use the treasure land when they guard it. ”

Zhang Zhimu pointed to the Heilongjiang area and said: "As long as the black soil here is reclaimed, there is no need to fertilize it, and the land there will flow oil." It is suitable for the growth of most sorghum, corn and wheat. In fact, Zhang Zhimu wanted to say that there was oil in the ground, but he didn't say it.

After speaking, he pointed to the banks of the Liao River and said: "After we pass, we must first build the embankments of the Liao River, the Hunhe River, and the Taizi River." In this way, a large amount of land on both sides of these rivers can be developed first, and it is also convenient to transport it close to the river. The food problem has always been our heart disease. With food, we can do more. ”

Chen Yufeng looked at the map and said, "In such a big place, more than 100,000 people will disappear when they are thrown in." ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "After the Datong Railway was completed, Zuo Liangyu's captives were also sent to Liaodong. Economically, there is more potential than the Hexi side. ”

Ouyang He smiled and said, "It seems that our other great project is the Songliao Grand Canal!" ”

New progress in "Memories of the Southern Song Dynasty": the Battle of Yashan, the defeat of the Yuan army, the counterattack of the Song army, and the landing in Fuzhou.
