Zhu Jishi is famous, very famous, even bigger than he originally thought!
Although he lost the case, the one in the District Court of London, named James. In a trial on January 20, 1843, Judge Abbott found that Zhu Jishi's remarks in the newspapers against British hospitals and doctors constituted defamation!
To be fair, Abbott's decision was not improper, it was in full compliance with the law of the time, and his decision was not final, and he could appeal to the Court of Appeal of England and Wales, or even fight the case all the way to Queen Victoria.
In addition, the Royal Medical Society of the United Kingdom did not file a claim against Zhu Jishi, nor did it mean to tie Zhu Jishi to the stake for barbecue, but only asked him to publish a daoqian statement in the newspaper. Of course, defamation was also a criminal offence in Britain at this time, but the police corps in the London metropolitan area has not yet filed criminal proceedings against Zhu Jishi.
In fact, even if the London police file a criminal case, it is not a big deal, according to the Jones lawyer, in the current United Kingdom, even if it is a major crime to assassinate the queen, as long as the queen is not killed, the most serious is exile to Australia (Queen Victoria was assassinated once in 1840, twice in 1842, and one of the three assassins was exiled and two were acquitted), If a scientist is guilty of defamation, he will be deported at most (historically, Marx was expelled for publishing an article in a newspaper attacking the Prussian government).
Therefore, it cannot be said that Zhu Jishi is being persecuted now, let alone compare the British government and the Royal Medical Society to the Roman Catholic Church that burned Bruno. In fact, most of the incident this time was made by Zhu Jishi himself to attract attention, but it was hyped up by Engels and the "Polaris" newspaper, and it became the black material of the Chartist to smear British society. And the Royal Society of Medicine of the United Kingdom, which provoked Zhu Jishi, is, to a certain extent, the stepping stone for Zhu Jishi to become famous, and they may be the real victims.
Zhu Jishi had already prepared weapons for counterattack before the court trial began, and he sent several epoch-making papers to several well-known scientific journals in Britain and France, including The Lancet, as well as some well-known newspapers and periodicals, introducing the bacterial staining method and bacterial culture method to the scientific community in the mid-19th century, as well as the three pathogenic bacteria "discovered" by these two methods, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Vibrio cholerae, and Staphylococcus aureus!
And these three pathogenic bacteria are the culprits of tuberculosis, cholera and puerperal fever that are known in this era (there are many pathogenic bacteria of puerperal fever, and Staphylococcus aureus is just one of them). Now any pathologist, microbiologist or even chemist can see the true face of these three pathogens according to the methods and steps proposed by Zhu Jishi in his paper! Naturally, they can quickly find out how widespread these three germs have been in the hospitals of this era.
While announcing these major discoveries, Zhu also proposed several methods to eliminate germs, such as flame sterilization, Zhu sterilization (that is, pasteurization), boiling sterilization, autoclave sterilization, and batch heat sterilization.
The methods of observing bacteria and these sterilization methods are all simple common sense for the later generations of Zhu Jishi, a master of medicine, but for the scientists and medical scientists of this era, it is to make them admire the great scientific discoveries of the five bodies!
With these scientific discoveries and inventions, it was natural that the quacks of the Royal Society of Medicine could be brought to the ground without much difficulty, because the pathogenic germs were presented to the eyes of medical scientists, microbiologists and chemists all over Europe. Whoever says that they do not exist is tantamount to saying that he is a fool, and a fool cannot become a scientist and a doctor.
However, the reaction of mainstream public opinion and scientific circles in Europe and the United States in the following month or so still surprised Zhu Jishi, who had been mentally prepared.
……
“…… A scene that shocked the entire civilization Shijie appeared on the legal side of the empire, which is known as the most civilized and advanced empire. A man named James. Judge Abbott, a servant of Queen Bixia, convicted scientific truth of defamation under English law! The pathogenic bacteria have been used by the great scientist Jason. Mr. Zhu revealed that under the microscope today, the court of the empire on which the sun never sets has declared that there is no such thing as germs! - Le Figaro, France
“…… It's really unbelievable that the Inquisition tried Giordano. Bruno's scene will be repeated in England in 1843! One of the perhaps most brilliant scientists of our time has been sentenced to defamation by the District Court of London for offending the Royal Society of Medicine for the theory presented! And all the scientists in Shijie know that the one named Jason. The theory put forward by Zhu's oriental scientists is completely correct, and probably only British scientists do not recognize ......it." -- Tribune, USA
"Today we are shocked again, but we should not be shocked, because this country has always treated working people like this and there is truth, and these high-ranking men are the reason why they judge Jason. The biggest reason for Mr. Zhu's guilt is probably that his article exposed how dirty the environment inside the so-called 'charity hospitals' in Britain was, and how harmful it was to the health of the working people who were treated there! Now the bourgeois lords are panicking and want to strangle the truth in the cradle......" -- Rheinische Zeitung of the German Confederation
"Has the British Empire, the leader of our time, fallen to the point where it cannot contain the truth? What are they going to tell the world with this ridiculous trial? The majesty of the British Empire is inviolable, and even scientific truth is as worthless as dung in the face of the supreme majesty of the Empire? - Frankfurter Zeitung, German Confederation
"Stupid! Stupid trial! Stupid Royal Society of Medicine! Stupid judge! That's how we evaluate this ridiculous trial. Through this ridiculous trial, some stupid fellows made Britain, which had always respected science, plummet in the minds of the people of all Shijie civilized countries, and became almost as ignorant as China ruled by the Tatars, who had just been defeated by the British. -- The Times
The mainstream newspapers in Europe and the United States, including the British newspapers, immediately aimed all their firepower at the Royal Medical Society of England and the London District Court after figuring out how correct and important the findings and theories put forward by Zhu Jishi were.
Although the Napoleonic Wars have been over for more than 20 years, the French still have a strong grudge against the British, and they are happy to see anything that embarrasses the British. So the French newspapers, three days after the trial on January 20, began to smear their British neighbors in sarcastic and mocking tones.
The French scientific community also jumped out at the first time to raise the flag for Zhu Jishi, a "conscientious scientist" who was "persecuted" by the British authorities. There are even several prestigious French universities that have sent letters of invitation to Zhu Jishi, preparing to hire him as a professor in the Department of Medicine. What surprised Zhu Jishi the most was that the French Academy of Sciences actually sent an invitation letter to Zhu Jishi in early February 1843, hoping that he could run for the membership of the French Academy of Sciences!
On the same day that Zhu Jishi received an invitation from the French Academy of Sciences, Engels conducted an exclusive interview with him in his capacity as a correspondent for the German newspaper "Politics, Business and Industry" Rheinland. However, at this time, Zhu Jishi did not know that the editor-in-chief of this "Rhine Political, Commercial and Industrial Daily" was Karl Brown. Marx......
