Chongzhen pondered for a moment before he said to Zhang Xie in front of him: "There are still 7 or 8 months until February and March next year, and I hope that the Navy General Staff Headquarters will strengthen the formation training of the Bohai Fleet and accurately understand the hydroclimatic data of the Korean Strait.

Britain and the Netherlands were separated by only one strait, and they should know better than we do about the way the Dutch fought at sea. I thought that the Navy General Staff Headquarters and the Bohai Fleet could invite the officers and men of the fleet below Captain Weddell to conduct a military exercise and hold a military exchange meeting.

I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to allocate a special sum of money for you to entertain these Englishmen, and if we cannot persuade Captain Weddell to join us in the name of the British fleet, then try to have his captains accept our employment in their personal capacity. ”

Zhang Xie's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he replied: "Then how should we deal with the dispute between us and the Dutch at the joint meeting of the ASEAN Association now?" ”

Zhu Youzhen replied without thinking: "Drag him first, and after we have established an alliance with the Spaniards and the British, it is not too late to tear his face with him."

As for that Robert. Captain Black, let Li Chang get in touch with him more to see if his conjecture about the future of naval warfare was a flash of inspiration, or if he had his own ideas..."

After Zhu Youzhen left the Wuying Palace, he looked up and saw that it was still early, so he couldn't help but say to Lu Qi beside him: "Go and get the carriage ready, I want to go to the Criminal Department Street for a walk, go to the First Hospital first..."

The Beijing First Hospital, which cut off a small half of the elephant house, is divided into two parts, the left and right areas, the larger area on the left is the medical school, and the new rows of horizontal houses on the right are the main body of the hospital.

The main body of the new hospital building is similar to the imperial city, with a geometrically symmetrical layout, but compared with the imperial city, there are many fewer walls. Except for the inpatient department and the isolation and treatment area at the rear, there is only a small green belt between the other buildings, and it is very convenient for the buildings to travel to and from each other.

Compared with the semi-open Ming drainage ditch of the old courtyard, this newly completed new hospital adopts a fully enclosed sewer design, and also establishes independent toilets, showers and running water systems, which can be said to be quite a novel design for Daming.

Anatomy and hematology, founded by Deng Yuhan, can be regarded as the most complete Western theory imported from the West, and it is also the most important basic discipline for medical schools to develop new medicine.

After Deng Yuhan's death, Wu Youxing took over the Beijing Medical College, and with the support of the emperor, merged the Tai Hospital with the Beijing Medical College to establish the first medical university and university affiliated hospital in the Ming Dynasty.

By the eighth year of Chongzhen, the Tai Hospital in the imperial city had slowly shrunk into a small medical station and pharmacy, and the Beijing First Hospital, located south of Xingbu Street, was the best gathering place for doctors in the capital.

Not to mention the vicinity of Gyeonggi, even patients from Hebei and Shandong are now flocking to Gyeongseong First Hospital for treatment. The emergence of a large number of identical cases has given medical students excellent learning opportunities, and it has also led doctors in hospitals to begin to study the principles of disease formation in order to better develop universal treatments and drugs.

Although medicine is still an empirical discipline, the medicine of the Ming Dynasty has slowly abandoned the superstition of ancient prescriptions and miracle medicines, and has begun to try to move forward to the unknown new path.

It should be said that Deng Yuhan's outstanding contributions to new medical research have made Wu Youxing and other Ming medical experts still have respect and expectations for European medicine.

However, whether it was the European medical materials brought back by Ida or the so-called doctors in Weddell's fleet, they all brought Wu Youxing and other great doctors full of disappointment. At this time, Wu Youxing realized that Deng Yuhan did not open a window of European medicine for them, but directly showed the highest achievements of European medicine in front of the Ming doctors.

In contrast to Deng Yuhan, ordinary European physicians were mostly mediocre and uncommon-sense, and they knew little about treatment other than bloodletting and carpenter's work. The only thing that works is that these European physicians have an amazing imagination.

In the view of Wu Youxing and others, the treatment of cases by these European doctors in the past was not so much about treating patients as about murder. If they dared to use the treatment methods of these doctors on the doctors and patients of the Ming Dynasty, then it is estimated that they would have been accused of the official government long ago.

Of course, there are no herbalists in Europe who are similar to traditional Chinese medicine, but this kind of physician who uses herbs to treat diseases has never been the mainstream of European medicine, and is even regarded by Europeans as witchcraft, so the number is extremely rare.

So when the emperor came to inspect the hospital and asked Wu Youxing what he could learn from European medicine. The presiding officer of the medical school and the first hospital racked his brains for a long time before replying to Chongzhen.

"Judging from the current exchanges, the British have not done much in terms of theories and methods of how to treat the sick, but they are very valuable in how to prevent the spread of the epidemic after the outbreak of the plague and how to dispose of the bodies of the dead..."

Wu Youxing told Chongzhen about some measures to prevent the outbreak of the epidemic copied back from Britain, and Zhu Youzhen felt that the most valuable thing was not the medical measures for the epidemic victims, but how the British government appeased the people after the outbreak of the plague and adopted a series of measures to blockade the neighborhood by the army.

In China, there has never been a large-scale outbreak of plague in peacetime, and in Europe there have been more than one outbreak. Therefore, in terms of public epidemic prevention and control, China obviously has a great deficiency.

In the absence of a cure, the best way to deal with the plague was to forcibly isolate the sick and the healthy. In other words, if you want to save the living, you need to give up on the sick first.

The more the plague is forced to isolate at the beginning of the plague, the smaller the scope of the plague will be and the less destructive it will be to the economy and economy.

After listening to Wu Youxing's story, Zhu Youzhen stopped and thought for a moment, then made up his mind and said: "The British still have a lot of merit in terms of measures to prevent the spread of the plague, and I think we should still learn from them.

Although the current Huimin Medical Bureau has the responsibility of observing and treating local plague patients, our consideration is still shallow. Once a plague-like plague begins to appear, it is impossible for either the sick or the sick neighbors to stay at home and wait for death.

If the government is unable to respond in time to isolate the area at the beginning of the plague discovery, the plague may spread and cause even greater damage if these people are allowed to run to the next county government.

In my opinion, it is better to establish epidemic prevention stations at the county, government, provincial, and central levels based on the Huimin Medical Bureau, and establish liaison agencies with local patrol police and garrisons to determine the type of plague transmission. Once one of these diseases is discovered, we will cooperate with the local government to take isolation measures and strive to intervene as soon as possible..."

Wu Youxing bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty's idea is really good, after the minister returns, he will write a note and show it..."

In the compound of the Criminal Department, Hui Shiyang, who was sitting on the desk to approve the file, suddenly heard a commotion outside the door, and he couldn't help but stop his pen and said to the little official who was processing the paperwork on the side: "Go and see, what's going on outside?" ”

The little official said yes and hurriedly got up and went out, but he quickly ran back and hurriedly reported to Hui Shiyang: "Lord Shangshu, Your Majesty has arrived, and Your Majesty is coming this way." ”

Hui Shiyang hurriedly put down his pen, roughly tidied up his official uniform, and then walked out quickly, and met the emperor who was being embraced by the officials of the Criminal Department in the courtyard.

Seeing Hui Shiyang go out to greet him, Zhu Youzhen turned back to these criminal department officials and ordered: "Okay, I have seen almost everything in this criminal department compound, you all go back to do things, and I will talk to Hui Shangshu alone..."

Driven by Chongzhen, these officials of the Criminal Department reluctantly left, while Zhu Youzhen, accompanied by Hui Shiyang, walked into the signing room where Shang Shu worked daily.

Hui Shiyang ordered the scribe to come and make tea, while he himself stood aside and waited for the emperor to explain his intentions for the day.

After Zhu Youzhen walked into the signing room, he curiously glanced at the layout in the room, and finally sat down at Hui Shiyang's desk and flipped through a few pages of Hui Shiyang's unfinished instructions.

After a long while, he put the file in his hand back on the table, looked up at Hui Shiyang and said, "I came to the Criminal Department to walk around at will, Hui Qing doesn't have to think too much." Since I ascended the throne, this criminal compound has only been visited two or three times, and I haven't seen the layout here.

Today, I went to see how the No. 1 Hospital opposite you was built, and it was still early to come out, so I stopped by to have a look. It is said that the compound of the Criminal Department is heavy in yin and qi, but I have some faith today, and this sweaty head will be subdued as soon as it arrives in your compound, and it is really a place to spend summer. ”

"Your Majesty laughed, after all, this criminal compound is still under the bright and bright of the Ming Dynasty, whether it should be cool or hot, or it should be up to Your Majesty to decide."

"Hui Qing is really joking, okay, let's get down to business. Now that I have arrived at the Criminal Department, I want to ask by the way, when will this Taihu bandit case be closed? How many of them were wronged? Those officials outside are noisy. ”

Hui Shiyang said with a respectful face: "The minister took the criminal department to carefully check and have completed the review of two-thirds of the files. So far, there have been no cases of wrongful conviction or false evidence. If nothing goes wrong, it should be in front of His Majesty in early August. ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at him and asked, "According to these files, how many people were executed?" How many people were exiled? What is the total amount of confiscated assets? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, when 389 people were executed, more than 1,000 families about 50,000 or 60,000 people were exiled overseas, and family assets were confiscated, which was equivalent to about 2,890 yuan in the Ming Dynasty..."
