98. The Attitude of the Liberation Society (4)

The meeting attendance of the Liberation Association was very regular, imitating the model of the gathering hall of the mountain kings, with Tao Chengzhang in the middle, and the cadres on both sides were arranged in order of status. This is already the pattern of seating that the Liberation Society is accustomed to.

"Tao Gong, there are Hangzhou gentry who want to give Zeng Yun a thick burial." The cadres in the Liberation Association said. Hearing this, almost all the cadres of the Liberation Society showed impatience on their faces.

Zhejiang's governor Zeng Yun's official reputation was not bad, and if he hadn't resisted stubbornly in Hangzhou, his previous performance would have been far from harsh on the revolutionary party. This high-ranking Manchu official died in the Battle of Hangzhou, and the attitude of the local gentry in Hangzhou was naturally not jubilant. The call for a rich burial of the revolutionary party has never ceased among the gentry of Hangzhou. The gentry even said that if the Liberation Society was unwilling to have a thick burial, the gentry could pay for a thick burial.

Tao Chengzhang, the political trick here, naturally understands that death is great, and the matter of burying and increasing Yun is not against custom. Even if the Liberation Council is in power, there is no way to find anything wrong. However, the deeper purpose of these gentry was to gain a reputation through thick burials. If the liberation will be driven away by the Manchus, they can naturally seek their own peace by participating in the matter of the thick burial of Zengyun. At least when the gentry defended themselves that "I am not in the same group as the Liberation Society", it can be regarded as justified.

"These guys are going to camp!" Most of the cadres of the Liberation Society were born in the landlord gentry, and they knew what the gentry thought, "Tao Gong, do you want to catch a few lackeys who are loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and kill them as an example?" ”

The idea of killing a hundred people is still very attractive to Tao Chengzhang, but after all, he is the leader of the Restoration Society, so naturally it is impossible to be so Meng Lang, Tao Chengzhang persuaded, "It is normal for them to have such thoughts in their hearts." There are also governors of Liangjiang in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as well as the Jiangnan New Army, so they naturally have ideas. As long as Nanjing can be broken, these people will no longer have superfluous ideas. ”

This was the immediate strategy of the Restoration Society, and after the conquest of Hangzhou, the only enemies left in the formation were the Jiangnan New Army in Nanjing, and the Qing Army in Shanghai and Fujian. The Qing army in Fujian did not dare to move at all, and it was not a big problem for the time being. However, the movements of the Qing army in Shanghai were unknown, and the Guangfu Society tried its best to find out the situation. And the biggest and most dangerous enemy in front of the Liberation Society was none other than the Jiangnan New Army in Nanjing. Nanjing is not far from Hangzhou, and in the current situation, Nanjing is caught between the two major revolutionary forces of the Liberation Society and the People's Party. It was the last stronghold of the Manchu Qing in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Once Nanjing was conquered, the Liberation Society and the People's Party would become one, and the People's Party would block the Manchu forces in the north and west, and the Liberation Society would be able to concentrate on dealing with the east and south. The whole situation can be said to have suddenly opened up.

"Our Restoration Society must take Nanjing!" The young and vigorous cadres in the Liberation Association almost gritted their teeth and said. This kind of strategic analysis is not difficult to do. If you look at the map provided by the People's Party to the Liberation Society, you can see the situation clearly. Nanjing City is like a fat sheep surrounded by wolves, which is extremely eye-catching.

These cadres said: "If we attack Nanjing, we are afraid that our troops will be insufficient." Now it is necessary to let the comrades of the Liberation Association from all over the country lead the troops to Hangzhou as soon as possible. Jointly attack Nanjing. ”

After hearing this, Tao Chengzhang nodded and said, "Food, weapons, these must be prepared first." Let comrades from all over the country bring troops as soon as possible. As long as Nanjing is laid, neither food nor money will be a problem. The most important thing is to see that the Manchus are vulnerable, and the people's hearts will also come to us. ”

The cadres of the Liberation Society nodded one after another, and Tao Chengzhang's words represented the recent consensus of these people. Neither the gentry nor the common people in the region had any obvious intention of supporting the Restoration Society. Despite all the hostility of these people towards the BJP, they all believe that the BJP's current strength and influence are based entirely on a series of military victories.

"Tao Gong, did the People's Party's medical team say they are leaving?" A cadre asked.

Hearing this question, Tao Chengzhang sank his face, "Yes." Mr. Huang, who led the team, said that since the wounded soldiers had been treated, they would leave tomorrow. ”

Hearing this news, the expressions of the cadres of the Liberation Association changed from united to different. Some people have already said anxiously: "Tao Gong, since we are about to attack Nanjing, the military doctor in our hands is indeed not good." ”

Tao Chengzhang's face became even more gloomy, of course he knew that the military doctors of the Restoration Society were indeed not good. In order to save the lives of the comrades of the Restoration Society, including Qiu Jin, Tao Chengzhang, who was quite reserved in his bones, really asked Chen Ke for help with a sincere attitude. Chen Ke also sent a medical team. At this stage, this is a good thing.

The performance of the People's Party's medical team seems to be dedicated. As soon as he arrived in Hangzhou, he immediately began to set up a medical room and divided the wounded officers and soldiers of the Liberation Liberation into treatment levels according to their injuries. Treatment is initiated according to the level of treatment.

"I'd like to ask you what you think about this." The emotion in Tao Chengzhang's voice is not "unhappy", but "very unhappy".

One by one, the cadres of the Restoration Society either lowered their heads, or turned their faces away from Tao Chengzhang's stern gaze.

"We're bringing people in. That's how you treat people. Tao Chengzhang's voice was full of uncontrollable anger, "Let me ask you, if you go to the People's Party and treat you like these gentlemen in the medical team, and the People's Party treats you the same as you, what do you think?" ”

The atmosphere in the conference hall became more and more awkward as Tao Chengzhang questioned him.

Tao Chengzhang saw that the comrades were silent, and he continued: "I originally wanted to treat these gentlemen of the medical team well, and when we fight Nanjing, we will not have to wait for the war to invite these people. Instead, we can ask the medical team to follow us to Nanjing. Think about what you're doing, how are you going to let me open this mouth now! ”

When Tao Chengzhang angrily reprimanded the comrades of the Liberation Society, the comrades of the People's Party's medical team were also holding a meeting. A total of 52 doctors, nurses and interns came to the medical team. The troops sent two squads of fighters as escorts. Now the soldiers are guarding the outside, and the internal meeting of the medical team is also officially convening.

Everyone looked very tired, and these comrades were not tired, and it had been eight days since the People's Party medical team arrived in Hangzhou. All the military doctors did not even take off their clothes, except for changing into surgical masks. When they are sleepy, they lie down with their clothes, and in addition to eating and sleeping, they are healing and saving people, and the comrades are exhausted.

"Comrades, I have already told the Liberation Society that we will leave tomorrow." Huang Zhengchun, the temporary political commissar of the medical team, said.

Hearing the news, the comrades below all showed a relaxed appearance.

Huang Zhengchun also smiled, "Hangzhou West Lake is a good place, but I don't think in the current situation, you don't need to go to see West Lake." We don't have to worry about ourselves. No matter what the Liberation will say, we will definitely leave tomorrow. ”

"Don't worry, Commissar Huang. The Liberation Society just let us stay here, and we won't stay. You have to be in the mood to see the West Lake. Seeing the faces of those people in the Restoration Society, I didn't feel the mood to look at West Lake at all. A comrade below said.

Immediately, a comrade agreed, "That's right. I want to see the West Lake next time, besides, when we go back, we will go to Chaohu Lake, I think Chaohu Lake is better than West Lake. ”

All the comrades from top to bottom said that they would obey the command and leave Hangzhou immediately. Including the 20 internship students of Anqing Medical School, they also expressed their attitude. Although these teenage children don't seem to dare to express their attitudes clearly.

Huang Zhengchun looked at the children's appearance and couldn't help but smile and said, "Little comrades, don't be afraid. If you want to see the West Lake, just say it. You are children, and you don't like to hold grudges. Our grown-ups have nothing to do with you. ”

After speaking, Huang Zhengchun said: "Otherwise, we will send a squad to escort these little comrades to the West Lake." In this way, when they returned to Anqing, they also had something to say to their parents. What do you think? ”

The comrades of the People's Party have a natural affection for teenagers, and these students are not very old, some are not more than fourteen or fifteen years old, and the oldest is not more than seventeen years old.

Zhang Yu has never been a person who is afraid of work, and he knows that Chen Ke has never worried about his comrades' ability to work too strongly. In Anqing, Zhang Yu can be said to be hands-off work. Anqing's literary style is very prosperous, and the local people pay attention to education, and Zhang Yu has opened several schools, mainly for ordinary people who cannot afford to go to school. In particular, medical schools require a 10-year post-graduation contract before entering the school. Even with such harsh conditions, more than 200 people finally signed up for the school. Zhang Yu deliberately set such admission conditions, the nature of medical school is special, he is a doctor on weekdays, and he is a military doctor during wartime. If students still have a lot of fantasies about learning medical skills and going home to open outpatient clinics when they enter the school, it is irresponsible for their work.

Originally, Zhang Yu thought that the local people in Anqing might not really have many people signing up, but he was just mistaken. As a port trading city, Anqing's knowledge of modern medicine is not bad. The harsh admission requirements and work contracts have given the people an inexplicable sense of trust. If it weren't for the fact that I could learn the real material in this school, this school would not dare to publicly come up with such conditions.

The teenagers brought out this time are all excellent students selected from the medical school, and in practice, these children perform very satisfactorily. Although the medical team is angry with the Liberation Society, they are not willing to let these children suffer grievances. Soon, a squad of fighters escorted the children in the direction of West Lake.

The conflict between the People's Party and the Liberation Society is comprehensive, and if it must be put on the platform, this conflict is a clash of two political ideas. Since the meeting was discussed, the medical team fortunately had to explain this matter thoroughly, otherwise the depression in everyone's hearts would not be completely resolved.

The students of the medical school all went out, and Huang Zhengchun spoke more directly, "Comrades, I have also seen a lot of the whole situation. Everyone also told me a lot, and my opinion is very simple, these people in the Liberation Association shouted revolution in their mouths, and they just wanted to bring down the Manchus. There is no need for a people's revolution at all. One by one, they feel that they are masters, and they are nobler than the people. In this respect they were no different from the Manchus. ”

The members of the medical team are all absolutely trustworthy in the base, and if the people who can't be trusted are put in a position that can decide everyone's life and death, who would dare to rest assured. Huang Zhengchun is a very senior party member. The "old revolution" that has followed the People's Party since the time of the Whampoa Publishing House. Before coming to Hangzhou this time, the Political Department specially sent someone to talk to Huang Zhengchun. At that time, Huang Zhengchun still did not quite understand the evaluation of the cadres of the Political Department of the People's Party on the Liberation Society, but now he feels that the party organization's view of the Liberation Society is completely correct.

The comrades below did not have such a degree of understanding, although they were also angry, but the anger and dissatisfaction came more from their own experience. It is far from reaching the height of the political level. Hearing what the political commissar said, the comrades couldn't help but ask: "Political commissar, tell me about it." ”

Huang Zhengchun did not hesitate to make the first judgment, "First, the Liberation Society is not our revolutionary comrades, they are sick and urgently seeking medical treatment, and the Liberation Society does not believe us at all. ”

In December 1907, there was no "professional medical trouble" in China. The high mortality rate that is accustomed to life makes the people more comfortable accepting the fact of death. If you save it, this is the high level of the doctor, and if you can't save it, this is the patient's life. The masses of the people generally hold this simple idea. The officers and men of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army would not suspect the military medical department, and if they were not saved, there would definitely not be any officers and men who felt that the doctors did not do their best.

Moreover, Chen Ke has never had a good impression of medical troubles, and the base area has long promulgated the "Medical Malpractice Regulations", and anyone who believes that there is a medical problem can appeal to the medical management committee. However, if they go to the hospital to make trouble, the regulations clearly stipulate that they will be detained for seven days regardless of whether they are justified or not, so as to see the results. If you don't believe in the hospital, you can not go to the hospital to see a doctor, since you are at the hospital, it means that you have given your life to the doctor. If this relationship of trust cannot be established, Chen Ke feels that there is no need to accept such patients.

Therefore, the entire medical sector emphasizes "the revolutionary humanitarian spirit of saving lives and helping the wounded" on the one hand, and "must establish a minimum relationship of mutual trust between doctors and patients" on the other. Doctors are also citizens, and there is no reason to order some citizens to pay unilaterally, this attitude is unscientific.

"Hmph." Some comrades sneered. Other comrades fully agreed with this.

"Second, the Restoration Society is still the old Manchu mentality that if you have a position of power, you can have everything." Huang Zhengchun's next judgment was extremely harsh, and if someone in the base area was to be detained, needless to say, this comrade would definitely be transferred from his post for education.

Doctors, especially Western medicine, have a very potential consensus, whether you are an emperor, a general, a talented and beautiful woman, or a beggar, a rogue monk, and a Taoist, there is no difference in physiology. The notion that all people are the same is just a kind of common sense that has been "repeatedly verified" in the eyes of doctors. Doctors are most receptive to the idea that all men are created equal, which is a scientific attitude that must be adhered to in their field of expertise. If the doctor thinks that the patient's status is high and the physiological structure will be different from ordinary people, then this is definitely harming people rather than curing the disease.

There was a clear lack of such a concept at the top of the Society, and the more members of the Society came from the lower levels, they respected the BJP's medical team. It's not just respect for lifesavers, but also a rather naΓ―ve tradition of respect for intellectuals. The higher the status of the injured person, the stronger the sense of contempt of the powerful over the intellectuals. All sorts of things that are completely contrary to the basic business model of the BJP have been emerging.

Here, for example, in the BJP, battlefield treatment is divided by the level of injury. If a regimental commander is slightly injured, perhaps the team with minor injuries can be treated first. However, under any circumstances, the doctor who was performing surgery for a serious injury could not be allowed to put down the wounded in his hand and run to bandage the regimental commander. This example is a widely discussed public issue in the BJP and the military. The aim is to distinguish what is meant by "fairness" and why it is necessary to oppose "absolute egalitarianism".

After arriving at the Liberation Society, the military doctors of the People's Party of course acted in accordance with the constitution and philosophy of the People's Party. The Liberation Society, on the other hand, distinguishes the relationship between people according to their status rather than according to the system, and the first to be sent in are a group of cadres with relatively high status, who have been injured for some days, and those who have been wounded through have even begun to heal their wounds, and some of them are even simply bruised. Even so, when they learned that a Western doctor had come, the gang immediately ran to ask for treatment first.

Huang Zhengchun, the leader of the medical team, is only 28 years old, and he is already an "older" comrade in the base area, and he has been following the People's Party since he was in Shanghai. Tao Chengzhang had clearly handed over the entire military hospital to the People's Party medical team, and Huang Zhengchun did not say a word to distinguish the order of treatment according to the degree of injury.

At first, the higher-ranking cadres of the Liberation Society did not know the composition of the BJP medical team, so they mistakenly thought that it was the doctor who examined and bandaged their injuries, but when they learned that the dolls were just interns who had been in medical school for less than half a year, the conflict immediately erupted.

In the eyes of these cadres of the Liberation Society, who have been slightly injured, in my capacity, I have to come to a few doctors of the highest level to show me, and get some intern students who have been studying for half a year. The People's Party's medical team believes that it is the most experienced surgeon in the team who is responsible for classifying medical treatment, and that the cadres in the field are silent when they receive treatment arrangements.

Young people love to be more serious, the cadres of the Liberation Society think that "Lao Tzu is a person with status", and the medical team of the People's Party completely adheres to the "revolutionary humanitarian spirit of saving lives and helping the wounded". The two concepts of "dignity and inferiority" and "equality of the masses" immediately clashed fiercely. Fortunately, Tao Chengzhang was able to hold down the formation, and the medical team did not object to giving priority to treating cadres with the same injuries. The first wave of conflict was barely suppressed.

Seeing that the comrades accepted his own point of view, Huang Zhengchun then made a new judgment to the Liberation Society, "Third, the Liberation Society does not understand science, does not speak science, and does not study science. ”

This is a new conflict that broke out after the classification of the wounded, that is, the "maggot incident". Chen Ke has read many novels before, and there are cases of using "maggots" to treat purulent wounds. This is indeed the treatment used by the British during the First World War. There is a lack of antimicrobial drugs in the base area, regardless of the local and ocean, useful methods are on it. Medical flies and maggots are aseptically cultured for more than ten generations, and there will never be a problem of bacterial infection. This is already a relatively common method of dealing with purulent trauma in the base area.

When the soil buns of the Liberation Society knew about such a medical problem, and when they treated the wounds with suppurated wounds, some people screamed in fright at that time, and the entire wounded barracks were immediately alarmed. Even Tao Chengzhang learned of this situation, and he was so frightened that he ran to ask what was going on. Even Tao Chengzhang had seen Chen Ke and had basic trust in the People's Party, and he saw the white maggots wriggling densely on the wounded soldiers' red, white and white pus-covered wounds after they had suppurated. Tao Chengzhang's stomach was also contracting, and the food in his stomach tended to burst out.

wanted the people of the Restoration Society to accept this treatment, and Tao Chengzhang also felt that he had no way to start. Fortunately, the Liberation Society also collected the wounded Manchu soldiers, and it was easy to find some wounded soldiers with suppurated wounds. Ten Manchu wounded soldiers who could suppress the formation were selected, and the wounds were frightening, and they were treated with maggots, and the wounded soldiers who were originally sick showed no signs of deterioration, but the wounds quickly scabbed. Tao Chengzhang tried his best to suppress it, and the wounded soldiers who were treated with maggots were injured quickly, so he finally suppressed the situation.

Listening to Huang Zhengchun's criticism of the Restoration Society one by one, the comrades of the medical team were also in a much more relaxed mood. These comrades are also young people, and young people are often easy to "screw to death", but if they can be proven completely right, the medical team is all young gay men, and everyone is not so careful. After the fierce criticism of the Restoration Meeting, these anger dissipated a lot.

"Commissar Huang. Let's just not provoke the Restoration Society next time, forget it this time. Some people expressed a tolerant attitude, after all, the medical team is all doctors, as a doctor, as a member of the revolutionary team, when they encounter something unhappy, they will naturally get angry, and this anger has been dissipated, and everyone will naturally become tolerant.

Huang Zhengchun is like everyone, although some people in the Liberation Society are very inauthentic, but on the whole, the Liberation Society is still cooperative. And there is one thing, these young military doctors and nurses also have a sense of guilt in their hearts. This guilt greatly alleviated the medical team's disgust with the Restoration Society.

One of the most intractable injuries on the battlefield is the type of bullet that remains in the body. The bullet enters the human body again and again and passes out from the other side, which is a penetrating wound. The penetrating wound looks like the wound is large and bleeds a lot, but as long as the injured artery is not interrupted, the bleeding is stopped, and the purulent infection is prevented, but it is not easy to have an accident. The kind of bullet left in the body, you need to open the knife to take out the bullet, and God knows what kind of dirt the bullet will bring into the human body, and the metal bullet left in the human body will also cause body lesions, which is extremely difficult to treat. If a bullet leaves multiple fragments in the human body, it is even more difficult to treat.

The field hospital of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army has always followed the troops on the battlefield, and it really has no experience in dealing with old wounds for more than ten days. Some of the wounds of the Liberation Society, such as those who did not have their bullets removed, healed on the surface, while others had suppurated. Once the incision is made, it is likely to cause germs to enter the blood vessels, which can be fatal.

Tao Chengzhang is an atmospheric person, and he knows that if he is not treated in time, it will cause many deaths. Therefore, he made it clear that regardless of whether he can be saved or not, the Liberation Association will only be grateful to the People's Party for its kindness. As a result, the youth of the BJP medical team really believed it. Although these "stupid children" have had conflicts with the Restoration Society, they are really full of thoughts about saving people, and they don't expect that they are not in the base area at all. Everyone racked their brains to make a surgical plan, and the surgeon even rested for a few more hours before the operation, so as to be full of energy for the operation.

Unexpectedly, during the two-day operation, nine of the more than 100 seriously injured people did not get off the operating table alive. The rest of the wounded were not doing well after the operation. This is something that cannot be helped, more than 100 people have been injured for more than ten days, and their physical strength has been relatively large. After the operation, the situation naturally could not improve immediately. On the first day after surgery, five more wounded died.

Feeling guilty about the victims of the surgery is a common sentiment among these doctors. "If only I could have paid a little more attention to that vessel, if I could have been more careful with the incisions. Then the wounded will most likely survive. ”

If a doctor fails to save a patient during surgery, the doctor does not feel guilty at all, but simply thinks, "I have done my best, and this patient's death is simply a bad life." "This kind of doctor is not qualified. The BJP itself would never dare to put the lives of its fighters in the hands of such cold-blooded doctors. Therefore, when training doctors, ideological education in this area is also keeping up. You must be willing to study and research diligently, and your medical skills will always improve. However, if the medical ethics are corrupted, the doctor is basically hopeless.

As a political commissar, even if the "humanitarian spirit" of these comrades makes everyone more tolerant of the rudeness of the Liberation Society, he still thinks that this is a good thing.

While the BJP meeting was coming to an end, the meeting of the Liberation Party was going on with great difficulty. Tao Chengzhang and most of the cadres of the Guangfu Society agreed that when attacking Nanjing, there should be a professional military hospital as much as possible. The Dare to Die is now the real trump card of the Restoration Society. Since they are not afraid of death, it means that these people must be thrown into a battle that is extremely close to death. Even if it is not the morale boosting effect of the military hospital, it is only out of their own conscience, and these brave people who are the backbone of the Liberation Society must do their best to treat them once they are injured. The Liberation Society itself does not have a contingent of military doctors like the People's Party, and they are desperately looking for doctors in Shanghai. By the time the People's Party medical team had basically completed the treatment work and was about to leave for Anhui, it still could not find a surgeon from Shanghai who was willing to come to Hangzhou.

Tao Chengzhang did not recognize the deep-seated contradictions between the People's Party and the Liberation Society, and he was concerned with the all-out conflict on the surface.

Before the operation, Tao Chengzhang strictly ordered the cadres of the Liberation Society not to trouble the People's Party medical team, regardless of whether they could be saved or not. The cadres of the Liberation Society also agreed. No one died in the early stage of trauma treatment, and the condition of the wounded has improved. But during the operation, more than a dozen people suddenly died after the operation, and these people were all fine, they died after receiving the operation, and the relatives of the deceased certainly couldn't accept it under the huge psychological gap.

The prior notice of the medical team was understood as a reason to shirk responsibility. In fact, it is not uncommon for patients from large families to see a doctor, if the doctor does not cure them, and the big family makes a fuss, it is not uncommon for the doctor to go bankrupt, and it is not for nothing that he dies. In this battle of Hangzhou, the cadres of the Liberation Society also rushed ahead of the attacking team, and the injured cadres were not one or two. Six of the dead were cadres, and their relatives in the Liberation Society were also cadres, and these people did not dare to rush into the camp of the wounded soldiers to attack the medical team, but they dared to do something that pointed at the medical team.

Tao Chengzhang didn't know that the People's Party's medical team didn't care about this kind of thing, and they could understand that their relatives and comrades-in-arms could not immediately accept the feelings of life and death. The "Five Stages of Grief", Denial, Anger, Consultation, Frustration and Acceptance. This is the psychological aspect that surgeons generally learn.

Chen Ke loves to watch American dramas, although there is no data and empirical evidence to support them, these theories have been popular in the West for a long time, and Chen Ke also accepts this kind of practical knowledge that can be used as guidance.

Tao Chengzhang's biggest fear is that such accusations will lead to the People's Party's medical team never cooperating with the Liberation Society next time. Although Tao Chengzhang's analysis of the matter is very different from the People's Party's perception, the results coincide with some of them.
