Listening to Liu Taiping's words, Li Zhen's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "At this stage, it is necessary for Bojia to establish the general structure of the hospital, and he needs to lay the foundation for the hospital. During this time, Bo Jia must have been running for the hospital, and it was difficult to take care of other things. When the hospital develops, Bojia is still focused on the hospital, so naturally he doesn't need to take care of it. If Bo Jia frequently sends news to the Americans, it will not be too late to deal with it. ”

Liu Taiping pondered for a while and said, "My lord, this matter is arranged by the old man. Eyeliner is needed in the hospital, and the old man can arrange for people to go in, which can not only develop into the pillar of the hospital, but also be loyal to the adult. ”

Li Zhen changed his words and said: "Sir, Western medicine is available, do you think you can set up a hospital with Chinese medicine?" ”

Liu Taiping pondered for a moment and said, "It's a little difficult, even if you find a Chinese medicine doctor sitting in the hall, it is likely that the medical skills are not good." The threshold for people who have really practiced medicine for generations is high, and people may not be willing to come, so they have to do it slowly. ”

Li Zhen said: "Then postpone it for the time being, and establish Western medicine first." ”

……

Beijing, Forbidden City.

Xianfeng rarely left from the Old Summer Palace and returned to the palace to go to court, and happened to encounter Li Zhen's return to the court. Knowing that the foreigners returned home after repeated setbacks in Shanghai, Xianfeng was extremely proud. Some time ago, many ministers in the DPRK and China demanded that Li Zhen be severely punished so as not to offend the foreigners. Now Li Zhen spoke with facts, and slapped his face, which made Xianfeng feel very comfortable.

At the same time, Xianfeng also firmly believed in the idea of using Li Zhen.

The good thing didn't last long, and Xianfeng didn't have to be happy for long, but he learned that the British and French troops had arrived outside Tianjin, and sent someone to inform Xianfeng, hoping to revise the treaty made in the First Opium War twelve years ago.

Xianfeng got the news and was so angry that he smoked.

The treaties signed with Britain and France and the Manchus in the past years were the hands of his father, Emperor Daoguang, and it was a shame. Now, to let him continue this shame, the anger in Xianfeng's heart was ignited at once, and he ordered the minister to refuse sternly.

With a general like Li Zhen, Xianfeng also has confidence.

Even if Xianfeng was jealous of foreigners, he was still unwilling to smear his face. When the news of Xianfeng's refusal reached the Anglo-French forces docked at sea, Rayel, Bourlong, Bao Ling, and Adams immediately discussed countermeasures. Among them, Earl and Adams decided to immediately attack Tianjin Dagukou and approach Beijing.

Bao Ling and Bour Long disagreed, believing that a direct attack on Tianjing would be vulnerable to a large-scale Manchu rebellion. The two men agreed that the war must start from point to point. First attack Guangzhou, shock the Xianfeng Emperor, and then go north to attack Beijing. After Bao Ling and Bul Long decided, Rawell and Adams agreed, and the fleet began to move south again to return to Canton.

……

Canton, Governor's Palace.

In the study, an old man in his fifties wearing a black robe, slightly chubby cheeks, two mustaches on his lips, a sparse beard under his chin, and splayed eyebrows was sitting precariously.

This person's name is Ye Mingchen (Chen), the current governor of Liangguang, a veritable feudal official.

Historically, Ye Mingchen is a well-known figure.

Ye Mingchen was born in Hanlin, and before the age of forty, he was already a governor, and he can be said to be an officialdom tumbler. This person is brilliant and strategic, but he is also an extremely complex person, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a wonderful superlative.

After the Second Opium War began, the British ** team attacked Guangzhou.

During this period, Ye Mingchen did a surprising 'six no's'.

When the Anglo-French coalition army came, Ye Mingchen did not let the soldiers prepare for war, and did not prepare at all, saying that they would 'not fight'; the army in the city of Guangzhou could not win against the foreigners, and it was not at the same level at all, but Ye Mingchen did not choose to seek peace, calling it 'discord'; more than 1,000 soldiers of the foreigners were killed outside the city of Guangzhou, the city gate was wide open, and the foreigners easily entered the city, which was called 'not defending.'"

The city of Guangzhou was lost, and it stands to reason that Ye Mingchen should have fled in disgrace, but Ye Mingchen made the choice of staying behind, saying that he would 'not leave'; the foreigners captured Guangzhou, and Ye Mingchen chose to stay, so he had no choice but to surrender, but Ye Mingchen did not play his cards according to common sense and refused to surrender, saying that he would not surrender; at this point, since he did not surrender, he must be the enemy of the foreigners, and he had to choose the road of martyrdom, and Ye Mingchen lived again, so he said that he was 'immortal'.

It is difficult to speculate on such a peculiar idea, which is both a manifestation of loyalty to the Manchu emperor and a manifestation of personal integrity, but also a shame of surrendering without a fight......

All of this cannot be judged by the thoughts of ordinary people.

At this time, Ye Mingchen obviously did not come to this point.

Ye Mingchen is now the governor of Liangguang, and it is the time when the scenery is infinite. At the beginning of the year, he accepted funding from Britain and the United States, suppressed the Tiandihui in Guangdong, was rewarded by Xianfeng, and slaughtered nearly 100,000 people, which was extremely ruthless. During that period of time, it can be said that there was a river of blood, which made people's scalp numb, but Ye Mingchen was able to do it.

Such a character is far from being comparable to Qi Shan.

In addition to Ye Mingchen, there were two other people in the study.

Instead of shaving the hair on their foreheads or hanging a braid, the two men were wearing cyan gossip robes, holding a whisk in their hands, with hair on their heads and a lotus crown, apparently monks who were monks. These two people are Taoist disciples, one of them is named Xuanming, and the other is named Xuanqing, who believes in Lu Dongbin, the pure son of Taoism.

Coincidentally, Ye Mingchen is a person who is obsessed with Taoism.

Historically, Ye Mingchen often held witchcraft activities, and all major military events depended on divination and hexagrams. The foreigners' army attacked Guangzhou, and a large part of the reason why Ye Mingchen did not resist was the result of divination. Because the result of the divination was that the foreigners did not dare to attack the city, Ye Mingchen actually believed it, causing the foreigners to easily enter the city.

Ye Mingchen looked at the person sitting on the left side and asked, "Xuanming Daxian, the foreigners have repeatedly negotiated and want to revise the treaty of the past year with this governor. The governor refused, and although the foreigners did not forcibly send troops to attack, they led the army north. Please pinch your fingers and calculate, is it smooth for foreigners to go north? ”

The person on the left is Xuan Ming.

Ye Mingchen asked, and Xuan Ming immediately replied: "Lord Governor, Poor Dao got the dream of Pure Yangzi Shangxian last night. The foreigner's trip to the north will certainly not go well. ”

"Oh, does the Pure Yang Zi Immortal know that Ben Du is going to ask?"

Ye Mingchen became excited, and felt that the Xuanming Immortal in front of him could simply communicate with the gods. At this moment, Ye Mingchen's heart suddenly relaxed, thinking that there was no problem. Xuan Qing, who was sitting on the right side, said loudly and said: "Lord Governor, Poor Dao saw foreigners going north to Tianjin in a dream last night, and was reprimanded by the True Dragon Son of Heaven and returned in vain, so don't worry. ”

Ye Mingchen listened to the words of the two great immortals, and he was even more happy.

Xuan Ming's eyes rolled, and he said: "Lord Governor, Poor Dao and his junior brother have discussed it, and decided to open the altar the day after tomorrow to sacrifice to the Pure Yang Zi Daxian, hoping that the Daxian will give the adults another prediction." However, if you want to open the altar, I'm afraid you will have to let the adults break the bank. ”

These words are extremely straightforward, and there is no technical content at all.

Ye Mingchen waved his sleeves and said without hesitation: "Don't worry, the two immortals, tomorrow I will ask people to allocate 50,000 taels of silver to sacrifice to the pure Yangzi immortals." The two of you must be good at what you do, and you must not neglect the Pure Yangzi Great Immortal, understand? ”

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"

The two of them pronounced a trumpet, waved the dust, and a flash of joy flashed in their eyes.
