Chapter 48: Choosing and Being Chosen (4)
On October 11, 1914, the news of the Japanese army's withdrawal from Rizhao was immediately spread throughout the country by Beiyang, and this was the first time that the Chinese central government repelled a foreign armed invasion except for the People's Party. The matter of the People's Party's total annihilation of the Japanese Kyushu Division disappeared from the newspapers, and many newspapers more skillfully manipulated the news to treat the "Qingdao-Rizhao" campaign as a whole campaign, and Beiyang successfully ended the "Qingdao-Rizhao" campaign.
The People's Party did not care at all about this, and Chen Ke gave an example to his comrades about the discipline of the newspapers, in which the names of Napoleon changed every day on his way from the penal colony to Paris. Day 1: "Corsican monsters land in Port Jouan!" Day 2: "The Killer Boss marches on Glass!" Day 3: "The usurper enters Grenoble!" Day 4: "General Bonaparte arrives at Lyon!" Day 5: "General Napoleon recovers Fontainebleau!" Day 6: "His Majesty the Emperor is about to triumph in Paris!"
At a time when the military struggle, which will determine China's future fate, has entered a critical juncture, it is better to count on the integrity of these prostitutes, than to count on the chastity of prostitutes. Both are out to sell, both for their own best interests. It doesn't matter if it's called or not, or what it's called. Sure enough, on October 12, under the manipulation of Beiyang, newspapers everywhere soon published a statement, "One hundred thousand urgent! In view of the fact that the People's Party blocked the road to Rizhao, in order to solve the problem of the wounded in Rizhao, Beiyang implored medical personnel from all over the country to go to Rizhao by sea to participate in the treatment of the wounded of the Beiyang Army. β
Wu Peifu is still quite "backbone", and the People's Party said that it can let Wu Peifu go, and at the same time can treat the wounded soldiers in Beiyang. Wu Peifu rejected them all. The Central Military Commission immediately ordered the troops of the Qingdao Military Sub-district and the Huai Naval Region to begin preparations for the attack. At the same time, Pu Guanshui, who had already surrounded Wu Peifu, also clearly gave Wu Peifu an ultimatum, "Either be annihilated within three days, or get out of now." β
Chen Ke also sent a telegram to Yuan Shikai about this, hoping that he would "recognize the situation clearly and not create meaningless bloody conflicts." Beiyang then issued a pitiful proclamation across the country, trying to gain moral support.
On October 12, he immediately responded in Hangzhou, sending a medical team composed of Hangzhou hospital personnel headed by Zhou Shuren to Rizhao to participate in the treatment of Beiyang's wounded soldiers. For anti-Japanese heroes like Wu Peifu, the number of sympathizers is not small. As the director of Hangzhou Hospital, Zhou Shuren is naturally very willing to go to Rizhao.
Cai Yuanpei was still very fast, and on the 13th, a group of volunteer medical workers boarded a ship to Rizhao. To Zhou Shuren's regret, some of the highest-level doctors were not able to go. In these years, the level of medical care is generally poor, and Western medicine with strong ability is extremely rare. Most of the doctors at Hangzhou Hospital are graduates of Shanghai Renxin Medical College. Zhou Shuren naturally knew that most of the sources of his subordinates belonged to the "People's Party". No matter how much the dignitaries in Hangzhou hated and hated the People's Party, they cherished these doctors very much. A considerable number of doctors in Hangzhou Hospital were unable to go to Rizhao together this time because they were the personal doctors of high-ranking officials. It doesn't matter what they say, the importance of dignitaries and nobles to the health of themselves and their families is far above the group of "Qiu Ba" in the distant sunshine.
Zhou Shuren has no way to do this, the salary of Hangzhou Hospital is not high, and the young doctors have to take on the responsibility of supporting their families after they finally study. If you can't serve these dignitaries, how can the hospital's meager salary be enough to support your family?
There were not enough doctors, but a group of "volunteers" boarded the boat. With Zhou Shuren's tutoring and intelligence, how could he not see that many of these people were all in the fun, and they were familiar, and many of them were young masters from various families. Because of the haste of departure, Zhou Shuren ordered to rectify all kinds of rescue drugs, surgical equipment, and various related arrangements on the ship. Hangzhou Hospital also has more than 200 doctors and nurses, less than 50 of whom can participate in the treatment team, and more than 30 "volunteers".
The volunteers are not involved in any of this work at all, and even if they do, their purpose is to take advantage of this rare opportunity to flirt with the female nurse while on the same boat. If you have a little medical knowledge, you will point fingers at medical equipment and talk nonsense about the purpose of these devices. If you don't have medical knowledge, you brag about what you saw when you studied abroad. As for those who are not educated, they boast about how rich and noble their families are. All kinds of nonsense,, nonsense, and stupid talk made Zhou Shuren want to throw them all off the boat. But this is unrealistic, even if some female nurses are molested and harassed and cry, and some male doctors complain to Zhou Shuren in disgust against these guys' mouths that can never be closed, and ask Zhou Shuren to take them down. Zhou Shuren also appeased everyone first, and then gave an order according to his authority to trap these volunteers at the top. Doctors and nurses temporarily took refuge near the cabin where the living conditions were poor.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the ship will soon arrive in Rizhao, and we are here to treat the wounded soldiers. Bear with me, endure again. Zhou Shuren said this almost in vain. Only a few guards were assigned to the medical team. Zhou Shuren can't form a cordon, and he himself is not good at martial arts, so there is really no other way than to do this.
At night, under the dim oil lamp, Zhou Shuren was personally on duty. There have already been attempts to "talk" to female nurses at night. Zhou Shuren has to guard against these bastards. The night was getting deeper, Zhou Shuren didn't dare to sleep, he was bored, he picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the paper. I haven't touched a pen for a long time, and Zhou Shuren feels that his pen movement is not so smooth. Looking at the "care" and "potion" on the paper lined up together, Zhou Shuren suddenly had a thought. The words "water management" were written on the paper.
On this vast sea, in the face of such a chaotic situation in China, what Zhou Shuren thought of was Dayu's water control. At the beginning, Zhou Shuren's hands couldn't stop, as if it wasn't him, but the pen himself couldn't help but start writing.
At this time, it is "Tang Tang Flood Fang Cut, Haohao Huai Mountain Xiangling"; Shunye's people are not all crowded on the top of the mountain above the water, some are tied to the top of the tree, some sit on wooden rafts, and some have small slabs on the rafts, which look very poetic from the shore.
The news from the distance came from the wooden rafts. Everyone finally knew that Lord Kun had treated the water for nine whole years, and there was no effect, and the dragon was furious, and he was sent to Yushan, and it seemed that he was succeeded by his son Young Master Wenming, whose name was Ah Yu......"
Writing this, someone suddenly knocked on the door, Zhou Shuren stopped his pen, put the top one at the bottom, and then asked, "Who is it?" β
"It's me, Wu Yutang. Dean Zhou hasn't slept yet? The people outside heard Zhou Shuren's answer, so they pushed the door in. Wu Yutang is one of Cai Yuanpei's protΓ©gΓ©s, and this time he also went to treat the Beiyang wounded. Zhou Shuren felt that he was more of a "supervisor".
Wu Yutang clearly looked like he wanted to talk to Zhou Shuren, he carried the bag of dried tofu he brought before going on the boat, and also carried a bottle of wine. Zhou Shuren saw that it was the glass bottle of mulberry wine sold by the People's Party in the Yangtze River Valley. He had to put away the manuscript he had just written.
After three rounds of drinking, Wu Yutang spoke: "Brother Zhou, but I don't know what you think of the current situation?" β
This kind of ordinary opening remarks about current affairs made Zhou Shuren feel very boring. What else can be done now? The victor of the war between the People's Party and Beiyang was destined to be the future ruler of China. Either Yuan Shikai will continue to be the president, or Chen Ke will be able to become the new president. Zhou Shuren didn't want to make such a boring prediction, so he asked rhetorically, "What does Brother Wu think?" β
"Brother Zhou knows that the People's Party has already used troops against Hunan, right? At a time when the country is in turmoil, the BJP is still full of self-consideration. This is a scourge to the nation, and they must not be allowed to succeed. Wu Yutang said passionately and generously, "But the current affairs in Zhejiang are not just the affairs of the People's Party." Cai Gong supports the Central Committee, but there are traitors within my Restoration Society. I think Brother Zhou should know. β
After hearing this, Zhou Shuren felt a burst of disgust in his heart. The "traitor" referred to by Wu Yutang is naturally Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin in western Zhejiang. Before Cai Yuanpei did not favor Yuan Shikai, Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin established a local government in western Zhejiang. In the past few years, I have relied on studying the government organization of the BJP and participating in the BJP's foreign trade system. The days of western Zhejiang are getting better and better. Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin are both veterans of the Restoration Society, and even within the headquarters of the Restoration Society led by Cai Yuanpei, the evaluation of western Zhejiang is quite different. There are also many people who support Xu Xilin. Wu Yutang is naturally Cai Yuanpei's person, but Wu Yutang dares to say some things that Cai Yuanpei dare not say.
Zhou Shuren did not like such internal divisions at all, and even if they had different opinions, they were far from the point of calling comrades traitors. However, Zhou Shuren was not willing to speak easily, he was the one who Cai Yuanpei "wanted to leave" from Xu Xilin. Xu Xilin learned from the methods of the People's Party's barefoot doctors and opened the most basic mass medical system in western Zhejiang. Zhou Shuren once accompanied Xu Xilin to inspect the medical system of the People's Party base area. Barefoot doctors are not very good at medical care, and their theoretical understanding of Western medicine is relatively poor. But these people are fortunate enough to be able to roam the fields and have regular training sessions every year. However, these people have managed to popularize medical care among the people. Even if it is just the cloth to bandage the wound to be disinfected, the most basic wound treatment with saliva and salt water, and the most basic Western medicine. Understand the difference between a hot cold and a cold cold. Knowing that medical diseases such as appendicitis need to go to the hospital for treatment made Zhou Shuren feel extremely admired.
The People's Party's medical system does not advocate concentrating its efforts in hospitals in big cities, and since the doctors are all young people, everyone implements rotational treatment, and one-third of the medical personnel are in hospitals at all levels, one-third are at the grassroots level, and one-third are engaged in health and epidemic prevention and medical training in schools. Zhou Shuren knew that the People's Party had more than 150,000 medical personnel in 1912. And these 150,000 people will serve modern medical services to the more than 60 million people in the base areas. Each person has an average score of 400 people. The vast majority of people in the base areas who receive medical services are simply not able to receive modern medical services on a daily basis. Such hardship made Zhou Shuren feel admired from the bottom of his heart.
And when Zhou Shuren was in western Zhejiang, he also had thousands of colleagues. It was Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin who asked the People's Party Renxin Medical College to help train the doctors and nurses of the Zhejiang branch of the Guangfu Society. Cai Yuanpei forcibly took more than 400 people from western Zhejiang. Modern hospitals have been built in Hangzhou. Everyone is a Western doctor, and the People's Party's medical school is quite formal, with a complete range of categories, and the teaching level is quite high. Even if it is not a medicine to cure the disease, it can basically be on the right path. It quickly established a reputation in several large cities in Zhejiang.
The conditions of Hangzhou Hospital are good, but Zhou Shuren can't forget the speech of the Minister of Health of the People's Party, "If we want to improve our medical level as doctors, we can only rely on treating patients." Most of our patients are ordinary people, some patients we have cured, some patients we have not cured. If we were to follow the proportion of cured diseases at the beginning, we could basically be regarded as quacks. If we don't kill the patient, we're good. If we treat so many patients, we have practiced our doctor's skills. Then he regarded himself as a medical master, and from then on he threw the people aside, waiting for the patients to come to our door. I don't think it's very ethical. If it is cured well, it is not cured, we doctors are not God, and if doctors work, no one should die in this world. However, the medical knowledge accumulated from the masses has not been applied to the masses. I don't think it's right or appropriate. β
Zhou Shuren also once carried a medicine box on his back and trekked in the mountains of western Zhejiang. On the way, I almost broke into a bandit's den because I got lost. The bandits knew the Red Cross flag they flew, and some of their relatives had been treated by the medical team in western Zhejiang. So they just let go of the medical team and led the way for Zhou Shuren and others. In the big city of Hangzhou, there is no longer a difficult way to walk on the mountain road, and most of the people who come to see a doctor are also well-dressed and decent, and their conversation is much more elegant than that of ordinary people. But Zhou Shuren knows that the scope of medical treatment covered by Hangzhou Hospital has been reduced to a very small range. Moreover, the dignitaries who came to see the doctor looked polite on the surface, but in fact they did not really treat the medical team as a life-saver like those who lacked medical treatment. Doctors are just a group of people who serve the dignitaries.
"Brother Zhou, at present, the People's Party is bewitching these chaotic parties, and we must not go on like this in the Restoration Meeting. But I don't know what Brother Zhou thinks? Wu Yutang asked.
No matter what he thought in his heart, with Zhou Shuren's cleverness, he would never put himself in a disadvantageous position. Zhou Shuren replied lightly: "I'm just a doctor, I went to Japan to study medicine, and I just wanted to come back to treat and save people after I finished my studies." When I was in Japan, I didn't like to get involved in politics, and now I'm so busy, where do I have the heart to think so much. And whether it is Mr. Cai or Mr. Xu, I admire them very much, and I really don't dare or want to comment on anything. β
Even if such an answer did not reach Wu Yutang's satisfaction, it did not exceed Wu Yutang's acceptance, and he smiled: "That's fine. Mr. Zhou is at ease to practice medicine in the hospital and not to get involved in those troublesome things. β
After drinking a few more glasses, he greatly told about the deviance of Xu Xilin and others in western Zhejiang, and warned Zhou Shuren not to go astray openly and secretly, so Wu Yutang got up and said goodbye.
Zhou Shuren looked at the door with disgust, cleaned up the table, he took out the manuscript that Fang had just written, thinking about the behavior of those bastards during the day in the past two days, as well as the words of Wu Yutang, Zhou Shuren's face became more and more difficult to look at. He paused slightly, and then went on: "...... these are all nonsense," said another scholar, and immediately the tip of his nose swollen red. "You have been deceived by rumors. In fact, there is no so-called Yu, 'Yu' is a worm, can insects cure water? I don't see that there is no Kun, 'Kun' is a fish, can the fish cure the water? When he said this, he kicked his feet very hard.
"But there are indeed Kun, seven years ago, I saw him go to the foot of Kunlun Mountain to enjoy the plum blossoms."
"Well, his name is wrong, he probably isn't called 'Kun', his name should be 'Ren'! As for Yu, it must be a worm, I have a lot of evidence to prove his nothingness, so let everyone come to the public to judge ......"
So he stood up bravely, took out a sharpener, scraped off the bark of five large pine trees, used the leftover bread crumbs and water to grind into a pulp, adjusted charcoal powder, and wrote a very small tadpole script on the tree to erase the evidence of Ayu, which was enough to melt the thirty-nine twenty-seven days of work. But whoever has something to see, he must take out ten young elm leaves, and if he lives on a wooden raft, he will give one shell of fresh moss. β¦β¦β
This story is not long, and Zhou Shuren wrote more than 1,000 words in one go. Stopping at the pen, Zhou Shuren recalled the recent fierce attacks by the Zhejiang literati on the People's Party and the Zhejiang branch of the Liberation Society. There are also ideas for the future of the revolution. Zhou Shuren's face was cloudy. The reasons for his willingness to join the rescue team this time are not complicated. Zhou Shuren is well aware of the political attitude of the People's Party, and he does not support the political ideas of the People's Party. However, this was not enough to prompt Zhou Shuren to participate in the action in support of Beiyang.
The Beiyang Fourth Army expelled the Japanese army through fierce fighting, and Zhou Shuren was very excited. Whether it was the defeat of the Japanese army by the People's Party in Qingdao and the annihilation of the Japanese Kyushu Division, or the repulsion of the Japanese army by Wu Peifu in Rizhao, it was a victory for China. With the People's Party's ruthless attitude towards the enemy, the blockade of Wu Peifu is not too unthinkable. The advantages and disadvantages of the People's Party and Beiyang, Zhou Shuren did not want to participate. It's just that those officers and soldiers who were wounded in the war against Japan did not dare to die because of lack of medical treatment. To be able to do their part for these people is the duty of Chinese doctors. This is the real reason for Zhou Shuren to lead the team to Rizhao. Otherwise, Zhou Shuren can let others replace his own departure.
But after listening to Fang Cai Wu Yutang's words, Zhou Shuren was quite dissatisfied with Wu Yutang's attitude in his heart. Moistened the pen and erased one of the paragraphs, Zhou Shuren revised his article.
"But the first important thing is to send a batch of big rafts to pick up the scholars to the plateau." The third senior said, "I sent someone to inform the country of Qiqiu, so that they would know that our culture of reverence, and that the help should only be sent here every month." Scholars have a public presentation here, which is also very interesting, they think that culture is the lifeblood of a country, scholars are the soul of culture, as long as culture exists, China will also exist, and everything else is still secondary......"
"They think that the population of China is too much," said the first great official, "and that reducing it is also the way to peace." Moreover, those who are only fools, and their joys, sorrows, and sorrows are by no means as subtle as the wise think. To know people and talk about things, the first thing is to rely on subjectivity. For example, Shakespeare...... "
"Fuck off!" Yu thought in his heart, but said loudly: "After research, I know that the previous method: 'annihilation' is indeed wrong. In the future, you should use 'guide'! I don't know what your opinions are? β
It is as quiet as a grave mountain; The faces of the officers also showed a dead color, and many of them felt that they were sick and that they would have to call in sick tomorrow.
"This is Chiyou's method!" A brave young official quietly became indignant.
"The humble opinion of the lowly office, it seems that the adults should take back their lives." A white-bearded and white-haired man felt that the rise and fall of the world was tied to his mouth at this time, so he turned his heart sideways, put death and life out of the degree, and resolutely protested: "Annihilation is the law of the boss." 'Three years without changing the way of the father, can be described as filial piety. It has been less than three years since the old man ascended to heaven. β
Yu didn't make a sound.
"Besides, how much effort has the boss put into it. He borrowed God's breath to annihilate the flood, and although it touched God's wrath, the depth of the flood was a little shallower. It seems that this is still the usual rule. Another gray-haired man said that he was the godson of Yu's maternal uncle.
Yu didn't make a sound.
"I don't think an adult is as good as 'Godfather's Gu'," a fat official was silent, thinking that he was about to be convinced, so he said in a light and loud voice, but there was still a layer of oil sweat on his face. "According to the family law, save the family's voice. Adults probably don't know what people are talking about......"
"To put it simply, 'annihilation' is a good way to make a judgment in the world," the white-haired old official rushed to say for fear that the fat man would make a mistake. "Others, the so-called 'modern' are also, and the former Chiyou clan is bad at this point."
Yu smiled slightly: "I know." Some people say that my father has changed into a yellow bear, some people say that he has changed into a three-legged turtle, and some people say that I am seeking fame and profit. That's it. What I want to say is that I have investigated the situation in Shanze, solicited the opinions of the people, and have seen through the truth and made up my mind. These colleagues also agree with me. β
He raised his hand and pointed to the side. The white-haired, flower-bearded, white-faced, fat and sweaty, fat but not oily officials, followed his fingers and looked over, and saw a row of black and thin beggar-like things, not moving, not speaking, not smiling, like cast iron.
