Chapter 477: China's Greatest Achievement of Civilization in the Past Century

"The medical department listened. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"The edict said: Doctors, through the principles of heaven, earth and man, to protect themselves, to protect people. Today, we have worked hard to achieve cowpox, and the merit will benefit all generations......"

Although Chen Hui's body is much worse than two years ago, the rhythm of officially becoming emperor on the second day of February has not stopped. Therefore, the momentum is still going according to the original plan.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, taking the opportunity of the Lantern Festival, Chen Hui released a big move that he had been holding back for a long time: cowpox!

After two years of experiments, the reliability and safety of vaccinia have been proven by a large number of examples. This thing is indeed a natural nemesis of smallpox.

Chen Hui knew very well that the people were afraid of smallpox, whether in the East or the West, smallpox was a terrifying death, and such an incomparably ferocious disease was subdued by Chen Han, which would inevitably be followed by a significant increase in the prestige of the entire Chen Han court. He himself, as the king of Chen Han, will also rise in personal prestige.

As for whether this 'cowpox' is a huge progress in medicine, this is not what Chen Hui is concerned about. What he cares about is the prestige of the court and individuals, and what he cares about is the people's hearts that can be cohesive by this move.

The doctors who participated in the 'cowpox experiment' of the medical department have been rewarded one by one, and the work of pox planting will also be promoted nationwide in the coming days, so as to maximize the cohesion of people's hearts!

It's smallpox, after all.

From ancient times to the present, whether you are a prince or noble, or a common person, you must resign yourself to your fate when you encounter smallpox, which is the most hideous disease. If Chen Hui was an ordinary person, no matter whether the emperor on his head was Han or a foreign race, when he invented the 'cowpox', a vaccine that fundamentally solved smallpox, he would have become the second 'Hua Tuo and Sun Simiao'. Become a living bodhisattva in the eyes of the whole country and hundreds of millions of people, and become a divine doctor among divine doctors. And now that he is the leader of Chen Han, then what will follow is a huge increase in personal prestige, that is, the increase in the prestige of the entire Chen family.

The first places where cowpox was promoted were Nanjing and Lushan.

A current national capital, a past national capital, is of extraordinary significance, and it is beyond reproach to start from these two places.

And after this news was made public, the people were at a loss for the first time, but when they didn't know whether to believe it or not, Chen Han had already neatly put an 'example' in front of the people, that is, the student dolls of Sungkyun Public School, they openly planted pox.

On that day, Xuanwu Lake was crowded with people, and on that day, the whole Nanjing was singing and dancing.

Chen Han, in one fell swoop, made everyone in the world immediately believe in cowpox.

Because it's Sungkyun Public School. Even if there are many people in China who don't know what the nature of Sungkyun Public School is, they can immediately weigh the weight of it when they hear what others say. The students there are all the blood children of Chen Han's relatives, noble ministers, and heavy generals. If cowpox is fake and useless, does Chen Han dare to use Chengjun Public School as a cover?

"Ahem......" Chen Hui's face suddenly improved a lot after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and his pale complexion before was flushed.

"Are there still people prostrating outside?"

"The king's move has benefited the people of the world, and the people are grateful to Dade and come to bow, which is also to do their part."

Chen Er said so, and in fact, it was also true. Since the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, after the students of Chengjun Public School publicly vaccinated the pox, although the results have not yet been seen, the cowpox has been quickly promoted in the city of Nanjing. The children in the city, unless they are weak, are afraid that if there is a mistake, they will be postponed, and everyone else will be vaccinated smoothly. And so far there have been no deaths!

Nanjing City seems to be going to celebrate the New Year until February, and it is still lively after the fifteenth day of the first month. I don't know how loud the crackling firecrackers were.

And such a sensation, of course, also attracted the attention of foreigners in Shangguan Street. Except for Robert, who had already known about cowpox, the others were all surprised and ecstatic.

Smallpox is a devilish thing in Europe, and Chinese doctors have completely subdued it??

The reports that appeared on Chen Han's official mouthpieces, such as the Central Plains Daily, were not considered by anyone to be false. At this moment, only those mouthpiece newspapers with a deep official background have made detailed reports on this matter. After Robert and others read the report, they all knew the origin of cowpox, especially Robert. Because in his hometown of Britain, there is a saying among the people: the girl who milks the cow does not get smallpox.

Now that he has read the tracking report and the secret report of the Central Plains Daily, what else does he not understand? The girl who milked the cow did not really suffer from smallpox, but only with a very light form of smallpox. There must be a connection between this phenomenon and the non-life-threatening cowpox. And it is through this 'connection' that the Chinese have found the best way to curb smallpox.

"This is a discovery more valuable than green tea and bean sprouts, this is the greatest and greatest civilization achievement of China in this century, the amazing Chinese, they have benefited the whole world!" Perrier shouted loudly in front of Robert. Otherwise, he can't express the excitement in his heart!

Filthy Paris is an area with a high incidence of smallpox, which has been covered by smallpox many times since the Middle Ages, and how many of the bones in the catacombs of Paris were caused by smallpox is not clear to their gods.

"Send someone to Manila at once, then take a boat to India, and return to Paris as fast as possible. This is something more precious than your life. ”

Perrière proposed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Chen Han to learn the technique of planting cowpox, and then he got the book "Cowpox" in his hand. The Chinese did not think at all to hide this significant medical advance, and gave it directly to Perrier. This surprised Perrière, and his heart was overwhelmed by a surge of reverence. It's a great country, and their inventions have benefited the whole world.

After Chen Han suddenly broke the news of the 'cure' of smallpox, the news not only spread rapidly in the area controlled by Chen Han, but even the city of Beijing was already known by the end of the first month.

At this time, there was no joy in Beijing City, and Qianlong's death was confirmed, and Yonghui didn't hide it, and he couldn't hide it. In addition, the spring is at the beginning of spring, and the ice in the Bohai Sea is rapidly melting, and the sailors of the Fu Han Army could not sail back to the Dagu mouth for a while, but they bypassed the large ice floe area in the center of the Bohai Sea and made a semicircle to connect with Cao Feidian. The Qing army did not eat Tianjin in the end in these two precious months. Although the Fu Han army successively abandoned Yangliuqing and Caozhuang, and retracted Tianjin's troops with all their might, Jinghai, Qingxian and other places on the other road, troops along the way also withdrew into Cangzhou.

The bannermen of Beijing City were also unable to move outside the customs in large numbers. Fewer than 100,000 people have been displaced in two months. Compared with the number of flag people in Beijing, this number is too small and too small. But there was no way, the Manchu Qing's decision to 'move the capital' was just revealed in the upper echelons, and it was pierced by the Han army in one fell swoop. If Yonghui can still decide to move the capital to Guanwai, I am afraid that from northern Henan to Beijing, including Shanxi, the prefectures and counties in a large area will drop banners out of the city, and tens of thousands or even 100,000 Qing troops and people will surrender without a fight.

And there will be some old diehards in any force, and these people have burst out with great power in the face of 'moving the capital'. It seems that Yonghui really chose to move the capital, and that is the biggest sinner of Aixin Jueluo and the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Yonghui was just like Chongzhen back then, he was moved by Fu Heng's words, and in the face of major internal and external pressures, he raised his hand and surrendered.

And at this moment in the northwest, when the coldest wax moon and the beginning of the year have passed, the war is like a warmer temperature, and the intensity rises rapidly!

In Qinzhou, Gansu Province, about twelve or thirteen miles north of Guanzi Town, in the howling west wind, Dong Wei, who had arrived on horseback, finally put down Wang Chen's cooled body and fell to the ground on his knees. The latter is the chattering clerk he met in the ancient city of Changningyi, and in these days in the northwest, Wang Chen is his best friend and his most relieved partner. As long as he is there, Dong Wei doesn't have to worry about the logistics of the army, Wang Chen will always take care of everything and let Dong Wei devote himself to fighting.

Dong Wei wiped the tears flowing from his face with his sleeve, and his voice was like a wounded lion roaring, "What the hell is going on?" "Wang Chen is a high-ranking member of the 'Yuandun Sect', why was he attacked and killed by a group of people on the road? What about his guards?

Guo Junrong, the chief of Wang Chen's guard on the side, knelt on the ground on his knees all the time, and said in a dumb voice, "The general inspected the troops of Lin Hai in Guanzi Town, and on the way back, he encountered a group of chaotic soldiers, and they suddenly rushed out from there," Guo Junrong pointed to a bush on his left hand with red eyes, "Raise your gun and fire...... "Wang Chen was hit in the chest by a projectile and was killed on the spot."

Dong Wei's footsteps seemed to be carrying a thousand pounds of chains, and his heavy steps walked up to Guo Junrong, and he stretched out his hand and pulled down the big ear scraper towards Guo Junrong. One, two, three, four, five......

"How are your guards arranged? Why didn't you step up reconnaissance when you got out of Guanzi Town? Guo Junrong, you damn it! Dong Wei's eyes were blood-red in anger, "You go to me, find those people for me, and bring me all their heads!" Otherwise, Lao Tzu will hack you! ”

"Yes!" Guo Junrong, whose mouth was full of blood foam, stood up and saluted. But just as he was about to turn around, he was saved by Ma He.

"General Dong calm down!" Ma He grabbed the furious Dong Wei, "This matter, the top priority is to report to the ...... above" The offensive battle against Qinzhou is coming, and as a result, one general is lost first. "It's better to block the news first, and don't let the people below know."

Dong Wei smiled, "The brothers under my hands are not so fragile. Wang Chen died, and one of his lives, the dog would have to use a thousand or ten thousand lives to be buried with Wang Chen. ”

Under the illumination of the setting sun, Dong Wei was shrouded in a layer of red blood light.

Night, Guanzi Town.

"The location here in Guanzi Town is good, now the reinforcements sent from Lanzhou have just entered Gongchang, and the Qing army of Gongchang Mansion itself has entered Fuqiang, and there are one hundred and thirty or forty miles between the two." Fuqiang is the closest place between Gongchang Mansion and Qinzhou.

"The Qing army in Gongchang Mansion was only 3,000 to 4,000 people."

"Then eat them!" Dong Wei slapped the table. "Eat his **** first, and then send Wang Chen off first."

……

The poignant retreat caused a group of cavalry to retreat, which had suffered considerable casualties. Dressed in a splendid Mongolian robe, Barno stood on a stone beside the tree with a gloomy face, and his horsewhip kept beating the tree next to him. Not far away, a second-class Qing military attache was holding a telescope to observe Hanjiabao, cursing incessantly.

Taking advantage of the afterglow before sunset, the Qing army's onslaught on Hanjiabao was still defeated, and Yingcheng's hope of using the Mongolian cavalry reinforced to suddenly attack to solve the opponent was disappointed! Although this is just a very ordinary small village in front of me, it has been entrenched by bandits for a few days, and its defense power is no longer what it used to be.

The Yuandun Sect, a group of bandits that plagued Gansu and Shaanxi, had too much firepower, and they had at least a dozen earthen cannons. Although the firing range is far worse than that of the regular artillery of the Qing army, hundreds of thousands of stones fly out of a cannon, and no matter how brave the soldier is, he can't withstand it.

Now, the bandits' artillery has stopped, which means that the troops have all withdrawn.

Even if the Mongol cavalry wore hard Mongolian robes that were frozen outside, they could not stop the bombardment of stones, and they had an unprotected horse under their crotch. Therefore, the impact of this Mongolian horse team, in addition to sending 100 dead or wounded horses to the other side, is purely a head.

"More artillery has to be mobilized." Barno said to Yingcheng who came over, "The firepower of these bandits is too strong, and the earth cannon is more lethal to the cavalry than iron bullets. ”

"This subordinate knows! Taiji immediately sorted out the troops and counted the casualties! Young-sung slammed his foot on the trunk.

Although Barno is a Taiji, whether it is a knighthood or a grade, it is much higher than Yingcheng, but the current situation is that Barno can only obey Yingcheng's orders. Who let Yingcheng have two or three thousand men under his command, including two or three hundred horses. And although Barno himself had a horse team of seven or eight hundred people, this horse team did not belong to him alone, he just led this horse team to reinforcements.

"When did the Han people become so capable of fighting?" Barno wanted to look at the corpses of men and horses on the battlefield, and his heart hurt and bleed.

Feeling bad, Barno returned to the tent and drank half a sack of mare's milk wine, and by the time he was awakened in the middle of the night by the sound of fighting outside, it was too late to put the team together. Fierce shouts of killing came from the north, south, and east at the same time, mixed with the roaring hooves of horses. As someone who grew up on horseback, Barno knew that it was a large team of horses.

Whether it was the Mongolian horse team, the Han horse team, or the green camp people, they did not have time to organize effective resistance, and they were swept away by the horse team of the 'bandits'. There was chaos inside and outside the camp.

"Kill, drive the Han people back with a saber! The Mongols ......" Barno turned over and sat on his horse, drew his saber, and was about to shout to boost the morale of the guards around him, but he was directly grabbed by the guards and grabbed the reins of the horse, "Taiji retreat quickly, otherwise it will be too late." ”

Barno, who woke up drunk, did not know the specific situation, but his guards knew that the situation was irreversible.

The people of the Yuandun Sect came from the north and south, and then the Qing soldiers who were mainly guarding against Hanjiabao were stunned. was killed by the Yuandun Sect bandits in Hanjiabao taking the opportunity, and then, and then they became enemies on three sides.

The faithful guards helped Barr turn his horse's head and fled westward.

The Yuandun Sect Horse Team, which suddenly poured out from Guanzi Town to kill Hanjiabao, directly defeated the Qing army in Gongchang Mansion. The infantry and cavalry battle in the dark night was simply a melee, the flags and horns were invalid, and the commanders on both sides could not effectively control the troops, but the Yuandun Sect 'bandits' had already taken the lead in advance, and when the scattered infantry faced the charge of the cavalry of the upper scale, they either surrendered with their heads in their hands, or smeared oil on their feet in a panic, and had no ability to counterattack at all.

Barno's escape led to the collapse of the entire Mongolian horse team, and Dong Wei, who hated the Qing cavalry to the core, only waved his hand after seeing the collapse of the Mongolian horse team, "Brothers, come with me!" "There is not a single Qing cavalry left that he wants to kill! (To be continued.) )
