In the Anhui Military Advisory Office, the military doctor's special knife made a small cut on Chai Dongliang's shoulder, and then sprinkled some gray-white powder on it, and a group of people around looked frightened, each grinning and gasping.

The military doctor wiped away a drop of blood from his arm with a cotton swab, and then said with a smile: "Dudu, if you plant it again in three days, even if you are done, you may have a low-grade fever today or tomorrow, which is normal." ”

Chai Dongliang put down his sleeves, smiled and nodded in thanks, and then said to the staff officers, adjutants, and clerks of the Military Advisory Office: "You all have to take the lead in vaccinating cowpox, and if you plant pox, you won't have smallpox, and the provincial governor can't even ask for a wife with a pockmarked face." ”

Everyone laughed, it was the period when young people loved beauty the most, and they would rather be killed by the enemy on the battlefield than have a hemp seed on their faces.

Most of the officers and men of the Jianghuai Army have never had smallpox, and Anhui, Jiangxi and other places have a big outbreak of pox almost every two or three years, and the common people will go to worship Douhua Niangniang every spring, but there are still a large number of people infected with smallpox and die, especially children. Even if you are lucky enough not to die, you will end up with a face full of hemp, it doesn't matter if a man has pockmarks, it will be difficult for a woman to find her in-laws in the future.

Let's not talk about others, when Chai Dongliang was born, the last smallpox virus in the world had been stored in the laboratory, so he had never planted cowpox, in case he was infected, it was not fun, even if he didn't die, the little white face would become a pockmarked face. After the land reform in the Jianghuai area, the people were allocated the land, and they applied for a small loan to Guanghua Bank to buy cattle, and now there are a lot of cattle in the Jianghuai area, cowpox is one of the most common cattle infectious diseases, it is very easy to get vaccinated pox vaccines, and the technology of pox is not complicated at all, almost a person will see it once, and now the difficulty is to let the people accept the planting of cowpox!

From the information provided by the book friend group, Chai Dongliang learned that the method of planting cowpox to prevent smallpox was transmitted to China through the Portuguese in Macao only six years after its invention, and it has been almost a hundred years, and it is not troublesome to plant a cowpox, and it does not cost much money.

It took only six years to spread from England to the Qing Dynasty thousands of miles away, but a hundred years have passed, and how many people have died of smallpox, and no one has promoted this method that can live countless people to the people.

Grandma's, what have the officials of the Qing Dynasty eaten all these years? The technology of cowpox has been introduced to China for 100 years, but it has not been promoted? Chai Dongliang also knew that the planting of vaccinia virus was more dangerous than the strictly selected vaccinia virus in later generations, but it was also a hundred times stronger than smallpox.

Chai Dongliang has not experienced the smallpox epidemic, but I have heard of the terrible disease, just after the Spring Festival last year, Lu'an smallpox, Chai Dongliang personally went to inspect it, only to really know what horror is, countless coffins at the city gate to pull out of the city, most of them are small coffins, this disease hurts the children the most, hearing the heart-rending cries of those parents who have lost their children, Chai Dongliang's heart is about to break, none of the soldiers around him went to open the way for him, and they can't bear to sprinkle salt on the wounds of these people.

Chai Dongliang waited for a long time before he caught up with a gap and entered Lu'an City. I heard from my subordinates that it was just the beginning, and it was not yet the peak of the epidemic, and more people would die after a while.

In recent years, smallpox has been prevalent every three or two years, and each time it has taken the lives of many people, and some couples have even given birth to six or seven children, and none of them can live to adulthood. This is really terrible, Chai Dongliang was a little frightened.

Chai Dongliang made up his mind that before the beginning of spring next year, Jiangxi, Anhui, and Fengtian must all be vaccinated with pox vaccines, and Mongolia is sparsely populated and not easy to do, so Chai Dongliang handed over this matter to the two major living Buddhas in Mongolia, Jebzundamba and Zhangjiahutuketu, and they persuaded the Mongolian herdsmen and Taiji to plant pox.

Planting a cowpox, the technology has been there for a long time, and it doesn't cost much, Quan Anqing planted it all over the place, and it cost less than 10,000 silver dollars, which also includes the salaries of those doctors who were recruited.

There is technology, it doesn't cost much, it is not difficult to promote, no one has done such a simple thing for a hundred years, and countless people have been killed by smallpox! Even the governor of Liangguang, Ruan Yuan, who had his own children with cowpox, only proudly showed off how smart and knowledgeable he was in the book, and he thought that the people of Liangguang had never been vaccinated with cowpox? Did he think that cowpox could save people's lives?

The inaction of officials is far more terrible than corruption, and the harm to the people is also greater. This is the creed of many officials in the Qing Dynasty, with such a creed, the officials of the Qing Dynasty are accustomed to being ostriches with their surnames, and they are accustomed to choosing their surnames to be blind.

The British trafficked opium to China, and these officials could not see it, so they had to wait until the flood was out of control before they began to ban smoking, and when the ban did not stop, some officials actually proposed to cut off all the big cigarettes so that the big cigarettes would no longer be smuggled.

Foreigners preach in China, do business, legal and illegal, the court and local officials are solved with a procrastination, the foreigners are in a hurry, simply don't care what the attitude of the Qing Dynasty is, do it first and then say, at this time the court pretended to be blind again, and when the foreigners tasted the sweetness, when the Qing Dynasty was rampant and domineering, the court felt that it couldn't stand it anymore, in a sentence "The foreigners forced the extortion too much"! Then the Manchu Dynasty was indignant, rolled up his arms and sleeves to do it with the foreigners, but no one ever thought that the war needed to be prepared, the food, equipment, and the training of the soldiers were all unprepared, and the result was naturally beaten by the foreigners.

The Manchu court was filled with huge lazy surnames from top to bottom! You have to wait for someone else's cannon to hit your doorstep before you can react to it somewhat, and such a reaction is either too radical or so negative that you don't even have the courage to resist.

These officials of the imperial court were even too lazy to even sell their fame, and no one had thought of such a beneficial thing as promoting cowpox cultivation for a hundred years.

Maybe I thought about it, but I didn't bother to do it.

Now that it is the Republic of China, the situation is still the same or even worse, the governors of all provinces are excessive, and the north and the south are fighting for some reasons that cannot be put on the table. Sun Wen and other revolutionary leaders incited soldiers to oppose Yuan, but when the battle was lost, they all abandoned the soldiers and fled.

The adjutant brought in from outside a horse full of coal-like warhorses, which was surprisingly tall, with a smooth fur like fine brocade, a long, narrow and light skeleton, rabbit ears, and fat.

"Dudu, this fire dragon foal has been trained, can you try it?" The adjutant gently stroked the back of the war horse with his hand, and said with great pity.

"This is a bloody BMW? It's beautiful! ”

"It's worth exchanging a wife!"

"Your wife's long feet and big face are black, and she can't even get a horsehair!"

The eyes of the officers of the Military Advisory Office were attracted by this sweaty and bloody horse, and their saliva flowed when they looked at it.

This horse was the Russian merchant who deliberately bribed Gu Mazi in order to snatch the material orders of the advance army of the Mongolian army. This Alhatekin horse is really eye-catching, especially after a long run, the sweat on the body is pale red, even people who don't know anything about horses can guess that this is the sweat and blood horse that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not exchange for the golden horse.

Gu Mazi reluctantly sent the horse to Anqing, and now its owner is Chai Dongliang.

After Chai Dongliang rode on, he went around in a circle and was not happy in the Military Advisory Office, and was about to go out, when he suddenly remembered the "Traffic Control Regulations", so he had to dismount stupidly, and the provincial police stopped him again and was bored with himself. The dignified Jianghuai patrol envoy went to sweep the streets, even if it was a show, he had no face at all.

After dismounting, he threw the reins to the adjutant, Chai Dongliang said to the onlookers, adjutants, and clerks, and scolded with a smile: "Don't be red-eyed, when you make a contribution, Lao Tzu will give you a good horse??? Damn, all of them are obsessed, more fascinated than looking at beautiful women! ”

Naturally, this can't be taken seriously, the Al-Ha-Tejin horse is only produced in the Al-Hatie tribe in Kazakhstan, and there are less than 10,000 horses in the world, and it is definitely extremely unrealistic for the Jianghuai Army to have one horse per person, and Chai Dongliang is preparing to equip the troops with some trucks, after all, the cavalry is a branch of the army that is about to decline.

Seeing that they still refused to leave, Chai Dongliang gently slapped a staff officer's ass with a horsewhip: "Get out, let Lao Tzu go to the street to plant cowpox, let the people see it, planting pox will only be beneficial??? Go and lead the way for the soldiers and civilians. ”

The staff of the Military Advisory Office reluctantly touched the horse's buttocks, and then turned around and walked out of the gate step by step, looking at Chai Dongliang secretly funny.

It is a man who has a hero complex, BMW famous sword has been a man's favorite since ancient times, and it is still the case in the electric age, in the 21st century of science and prosperity, the price of a famous horse is often tens of millions, which is many times more expensive than Maserati, Porsche, and other top famous cars.

Gao Chuguan and Navy Commander Tang Xiangming walked over from outside together, and both of them were happy.

"Mr. Xiang Yuan, Commander Tang, what's the happy event? Look at you two happy! Chai Dongliang asked with a smile.

Gao Chuguan said happily: "The governor is overjoyed, overjoyed!" Lin Hu's first brigade has broken through Zhang Xun's Dingwu army, and now it has successfully entered Nanjing City, and has joined forces with He Haiming's Yuan army! ”

Tang Xiangming also said happily: "Governor, my brother has sent a telegram, saying that he is coming to Anqing to join you, I don't know if you are willing to accept it?" ”

Chai Dongliang was overjoyed, took Tang Xiangming's hand and said, "Speaker Tang can come to Anqing, I can't ask for it!" When he arrives, I will personally go out of the city thirty miles to greet him! ”

Tang Xiangming said with a smile: "My brother is waiting for your reply in Yanjing, if the governor is willing to accept it, he will leave immediately." ”

Chai Dongliang hurriedly said: "Commander Tang, you immediately send a telegram to Brother Ling, and say that Chai will greet him." ”

Tang Hualong is a member of the Republican Party and the speaker of the House of Representatives, and he is very influential in political circles, especially Hubei, which is the head of the land, and people from all walks of life are very familiar with it.

The three chatted for a while, and Gao Chuguan began to talk about the battle under the city of Nanjing. The pigtail army was beaten by the Jianghuai army in Bengbu more than a year ago, and he was a little scared in his heart. Before the two sides could start the war, the flying team of the Jianghuai Army took to the air ahead of schedule.

The Braided Army is the periphery of Beiyang, and there are a few people who have seen airplanes, but they are all toys with a flight altitude of less than 30 meters and a flight distance of less than 2 kilometers. However, the planes of the Jianghuai Army have already been installed with powerful Hawk V-12-cylinder engines, and although they cannot give full play to the effectiveness of this engine due to their limited technical level, they have already flown at an altitude of nearly 1,000 meters and a flight distance of 150 kilometers.

Three two-seater "Feng Ru 4" planes flew in a zigzag formation over the pigtail army, and the huge roar frightened them into disarray, and if it were not for the officers' pistols and the overseers' broadswords, they would have fled at that time. The team wasn't aiming at them, they circled around and flew away, their real graves in front of a cannon-aiming balloon in mid-air.

The artillery observers on the balloon were using the telephone line connected to the ground to report the position of the Jianghuai Army and the shooting of Zhu Yuan, and unexpectedly, three monsters that made a huge roar surrounded them. After they flew around the balloon's gondola a few times, the soldier in the back seat of the plane pulled out his pistol and fired a shot at the gondola.

Two of the pigtailed artillery observers were killed on the spot, and the rest were cowered in hanging baskets and did not dare to lift their heads, regretting why they did not bring a rifle with them. The monster in front of him flew very slowly, and the distance between the two sides was extremely close, and the pilot's nose and eyes on it could see clearly.

Of course, the pilots also know very well that flying slowly also has the advantage of being slow, that is, it is easy to aim, and the gun-aiming balloon is almost hovering in mid-air, which is purely a live target. Fortunately, a turbulent current caused the plane to jolt a little, and the pilot flew back with a mocking smile.

After such a fuss, the artillery observers naturally did not bother to study the positions and firepower configuration of the Jianghuai Army, but just wanted to return to a safe ground as soon as possible. Moments later, the planes took off again, this time not only shooting, but also throwing black iron bumps onto the gondolas.

The three planes circled around the gondola, and one by one the iron bumps that missed their targets fell from the sky and then exploded in mid-air.

Bomb?

The braid of the artillery observers of the pigtail army stood up in fright, and two more frightened men were hit by pistol bullets, rolled and fell from mid-air and fell into meat sauce.

A grenade thrown from the plane exploded and fell impartially into the gondola, and the only remaining artillery observer was blown to pieces, blood and brains staining the gondola red and white.

Losing the data transmitted by the artillery aiming balloon, the artillery of the pigtail army became blind, but the artillery aiming balloon of the Jianghuai army rose. The flying team killed the artillery observers of the Braided Corps, circled over their positions twice, dropped a few five-pound aerial bombs, and then reluctantly flew back.

Without the support of artillery, several soldiers were killed by bombs falling from the sky, and the nerves of the pigtail army were tensed to the limit. Even the officers' scolding and the broadswords of the overseers could not stop their rout, and even Zhang Xun's reserves were scattered by the defeated soldiers.

With wireless telegraphy and code books, Gao Ming, He Haiming in the city and Lin Hu outside the city can keep in touch at any time, I heard that the pigtail army has been dispersed, and the eighth division of the Yuan army, which was surrounded in the city for many days and the pigtail army to hold back red eyes, also rushed out of the city to beat the water dogs.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Xun hurriedly fled with his own soldiers, and just ran less than three miles away, he ran head-on into a cavalry unit of the Jianghuai Army, and the two sides fought together without saying anything. Zhang Xun's cavalry was armed with a Manlisha cavalry spear, while the cavalry of the Jianghuai army was armed with grenadiers in addition to rifles. Special grenades and grenades exploded indiscriminately at a high rate of 20 rounds per minute, knocking the cavalry of the Braided Army to the ground, and the violent explosion startled Zhang Xun's horse, and the beast threw Zhang Xun to the ground with a fierce leap.

Zhang Xun wore the official uniform of the new army during the Manchu Dynasty, and the military uniform with a button on the placket also wore a large cherry hat with a blood-red coral bead on it.

The soldiers of the Jianghuai Army didn't know anything more, and they knew that the red top man must be a big official, and the rifle and grenadier shot at the place where Zhang Xun fell off his horse. This one-rank admiral uniform, which Zhang Xun is proud of, has become his life-urging ghost.

By the time the battle was over, Zhang Xun had been blown to pieces by countless special grenades and grenades, and no matter how good a tailor was, he couldn't put it together.

After listening to the battle situation, Chai Dongliang couldn't help but feel that the stuffy breath in his chest disappeared without a trace, Zhang Xun, this guy, should have died a long time ago!

In front of the Manchu court, Zhang Xun was the most loyal minion, after the establishment of the Republic of China, he still refused to cut his braids to claim to be the filial son and grandson of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and in front of the people, he was the most ferocious butcher, in his tenure as the governor of Jiangnan, thousands of revolutionaries and innocent people died under the butcher's knife of the pigtail army, and in front of foreigners, he was a boneless pug. The pigtail army injured three people, scared him into a fart, and bowed his knees in front of the company, and he couldn't wait to hold Xiao Yueben's stinky feet and shout his father!

In later generations, there are countless people in power and shameless literati who sang praises for him, and Qian Nengxun, who was the prime minister of the Republic of China, praised this pigtailed handsome "thousands of years of awe-inspiring life and death, and there are dead ministers in the Nine Temples today". Yuan Keding Banglian "Loyal and righteous have heard of Han Jiedu, and he has seen General Ma today", comparing him to Han Shizhong, a famous general in the Song Dynasty, and Ma Yuan, a general Fubo in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Some people even wrote articles in newspapers, sending him the words "turning the tide and turning the tide down, and being judged for thousands of years", comparing Zhang Xun to Wen Tianxiang, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty!

Zhang Xun's reputation has remained the same in the 21st century, and shameless literati regard him as a model of solitary loyalty.

Every time Chai Dongliang saw these remarks, he wanted to scold the street angrily, these literati all read the sage books into the dog's stomach, and they did it to the side of the emperor and the general. Those innocent people who died tragically under Zhang Xun's butcher's knife, but no one heard the wailing of their unjust souls!

Mencius said 2,000 years ago: "The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the king is light!" President Lincoln also said, "For the people, for the people, for the people!" And those Confucians who read poetry and books and the so-called revolutionary leaders all grabbed a filial piety hat and put it on their heads, and were willing to set up a monument for the remnants of Zhang Xun, many of whom were still Republic of China bigwigs who started with the republican revolution.

Chai Dongliang said contemptuously: "A dog thief like Zhang Xun is too cheap to die!" ”

Chai Dongliang is not a person who is easy to kill, in fact, he and the people around him have always felt that he is a bit of a woman's benevolence and lacks a heroic temperament.

But for people like Zhang Xun, Chai Dongliang will not be soft when he kills 10,000!

Because this kind of person lives, the common people have no way to live!

After sending out his emotion, Chai Dongliang suddenly remembered something: "Mr. Xiang Yuan, you just said that the flight team killed several artillery observers of the Braided Army with a pistol?" ”

"Not bad!"

Chai Dongliang's eyes lit up, he patted his thigh and said, "Why did I forget to put a machine gun on the plane!" ”
