Chapter 373: One Sorrow, One Surprise, One Joy

To tell the truth, Wu Jinzhu never thought of 'driving out' the officers who guarded the city camp in Lianzhou, you said that you people all have official positions, and they are not the same thing as the big soldiers below, Lianzhou can't stay anymore, and it's not comfortable to go to other places?

Just because Lianzhou is developed, it has prospered a lot in the last few years by relying on Qinzhou Port, and in order to get an extra amount of money, this group of Qiu Ba of the green battalion wanted to kill Lianzhou and not move, so they actually instigated military rebellion.

Wu Jinzhu brought over the framework of three whole brigades, and the foundation of his unit was the size of a regiment, and it was only the beginning. The three brigades only have officers, non-commissioned officers, and some backbone soldiers, and the number of them together is less than 300 people, but it is easy to suppress the entire Lianzhou garrison. Not to mention that there are still people who come to ventilate the news.

Wu Jinzhu did not take the opportunity to expand the scope of the attack, if he was ruthless, used means against the arrested officers, and confessed a lot of criminal evidence, the entire Lianzhou capital city would be cleaned up by two or three percent of the gentry and big households.

The development of the Qin army to Lianzhou is related, and these gentry and businessmen also know more about the methods of the Qin army, and in this era, there are many inextricable links between the gentry and big households, so Wu Jinzhu did not expand the scope of the attack. But just his means of dealing with the Lianzhou battalion have already been silenced in Lianzhou.

The rectification of the Lianzhou battalion was a foregone conclusion, but the Qin army system did not immediately take over half of the Lianzhou Mansion in the east. This is the time for the officials in the eastern prefecture and county of Lianzhou to clean up their messes. That ass wiped clean.

Lianzhou will be Liu Xian's first step towards Guangdong, and the next step is Leizhou. Don't take Leizhou. Liu Xian's ultimate goal was to squeeze the control range of the Guangdong Naval Division to the sea east of Guangzhou Bay before raising troops, and this western part was his Nanyang Naval Division.

The scale of the Qinzhou shipyard is not as large as that of the Mawei shipyard, because of its technical strength, so far only two gunboats of six or seven hundred tons have been launched, and there are two gunboats of the same size under construction on the dock, and the four warships are all wooden hulls, and the steam engine was purchased in Germany. The speed can reach twelve knots, but the caliber of the gun is only eight inches. The combat effectiveness is not very good. Not at all comparable to ironclad gunboats. The main mission is also to patrol the South China Sea, and the target is the sporadic pirates of this generation.

For the Nanyang Naval Division, which has been established, every warship is now critical. This will be especially true in the future when there will be a rebellion.

Three of the four warships built by the Mawei Shipyard for the Qin Army have been launched and are being commissioned. Another one could be completed by the end of the year at the latest. In this way, coupled with the battleships ordered by the British, more than a dozen people such as Lin Yongsheng, who came from the shipmaster and sailor, can each be a pipe belt. And a considerable number of people piloted warships far better than the shipmasters.

……

Taiwan. The back house of the governor's yamen.

Liu Xian stood at the door, a layer of sweat on his head. Miao Tong's screams in the room, every one of them tore at his heart. Basins of blood were brought out, one after another. Liu Xian was so nervous that he stopped breathing. He already has more than one child, and he has experienced many times waiting for the birth of an heir today, but what is different today is that Zhang Miaotong was born prematurely.

Before. Whether it is Zhang Miaotong, or Wang Luying, or Liu Wanshu. It's still Wang Biyun, they're all full moon. There are few people in Liu Xian's backyard. The four daughters have a certain emotional foundation, and the most important thing is that Liu Xian's love for Zhang Miaotong is placed there. Zhang Miaotong's wife's position is unshakable and unshakable. In this way, the back house is naturally quite calm, and each has its own share. Without so much intrigue, Liu Xian's children have been born one after another in the past two years, and no one has died young. Therefore, today's premature birth like Zhang Miaotong is the first time Liu Xian has suffered.

She was less than eight months pregnant, but the blow came too suddenly, and Shandong came to report that an elder of the Zhang family had died of illness. This is a very old lady, who is already eighty-six years old, and she is definitely old in this era, which should be regarded as a joy and mourning. But how can there be any real joy in the mourning of this world?

The old lady's surname is Du, her husband's family Zhang Qiu, the thirteenth generation son of Wudi Zhang, the deputy list of Qingxiang Test, filial piety, and the official commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division in the middle of the capital. The old lady was born in Du, Pennsylvania, and was the daughter of Du Fang, the eldest brother of Du Fang (a university scholar, Du Shoutian's father). The daughter is Du Han, that is, the wife of Du Shoutian's eldest son. It is conceivable how respectful Emperor Xianfeng was when he was there. [Wudi Zhang and Penn Du are deeply entangled, in addition to Zhang Qiu, there is also Zhang Ruqi, the fourteenth son of Zhang, who also married Du Shoushu's daughter as his wife. 】

Zhang Miaotong is the sixteenth generation son of the Zhang family, and his father Zhang Shoubin and grandfather Zhang Yanshou have not been able to get ahead in the imperial examination. By the time Zhang Miaotong arrived, her family was about to become a side branch in the entire Zhang family. Because the grandfather Zhang Quan and the old lady's husband Zhang Qiu are brothers, the two families still have a lot of dealings. Zhang Miaotong is beautiful when she is young, and she is well-behaved, which is very popular with old ladies.

In the years when Liu Xian came to prominence, it was also when the old lady was lost, Cixi and Prince Gong finally came to power, and Du Han was demoted. Du Yan also died in those years, and the decline of the entire Du family has become a foregone conclusion. When Zhang Shoudai married Liu Xian and Zhang Luo, there were still a few enthusiastic people in the entire Zhang clan, if it wasn't for the old lady's contribution as an elder, this matter would not necessarily fall on Zhang Miaotong's head. It can be said that Zhang Miaotong's father now, together with Zhang Shouyan, can have the current brilliance, and it is absolutely impossible to forget the kindness of the old lady.

Zhang Miaotong was pregnant, and when her whole relationship was prone to fluctuations, she was stimulated like this, thinking of her old lady's kindness to her when she was a child, she was sad for a while, and she couldn't stop it. As a result, Liu Xian is now anxious and worried.

His wife, who was less than eight months pregnant, was about to give birth prematurely, and Liu Xian's heart never fell back into the distance.

He died of fear.

It had been half an hour, the bedroom was as bright as day, and the little girls hurriedly sent hot water and other things in, and brought out a basin of blood water.

The pain in her abdomen became more and more intense, and Zhang Miaotong couldn't hold it anymore.

A midwife in her fifties, with her head cleaned up, said to Zhang Miaotong: "Madame, don't be nervous, the old woman looks at it, this fetal position is very correct, and it will definitely be able to give birth smoothly." When there is pain in the abdomen, the lady just inhale deeply and use more force. Don't use your energy to shout. ”

The maid who married into the gate of the Liu family with Zhang Miaotong has become a housekeeper after all these years. Holding a dry handkerchief, I kept wiping her sweat, and I had to keep an eye on her lips so as not to bite them.

After tossing all night, when the dawn broke in the east, a loud baby cry finally resounded over the yamen of the governor of Taiwan.

Liu Xian stood at the door, glanced at the first rays of morning light from the sky, and ran to the door of the main room in a few steps.

The midwife happened to come out, and when she saw him, she was stunned, and then smiled: "Congratulations to the Hou Ye, congratulations to the Hou Ye, the lady has given birth to a little son." It's a little smaller, but it's healthy, as long as you take care of it......"

Liu Xian didn't hear the words of the midwife at all, he only knew that Zhang Miaotong gave birth to a son, the child was born, and the body was okay. "What about Madame? How's Madame? ”

"Madame is well. When the inside is cleaned up, you can call the doctor to go in and check the pulse. ”

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Xian saw this child, his seventh child, his fifth son. The body is very small and soft, Liu Xian holds it with both hands, and he doesn't dare to use it at all. It seems that if you use your own strength, you can crush this child.

Newborn children, indescribably like whom, skin is red and wrinkled. He was closing his eyes, and from time to time he was humming from his mouth.

With a warm heart, he asked, "Has Madame seen it?" What now? ”

Xiangyun smiled: "Madame has seen it." It's just been tossed all night, and I'm very tired, and now I've fallen asleep. Now that the inside is also cleaned up, I have to quickly ask the doctor to check the pulse of my wife. "The little maid back then, after more than ten years of experience, has become capable and spicy.

Liu Xian carefully handed the child to her, relieved, and waited for the doctor to take the pulse and blood pressure. This trend of integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine is becoming more and more obvious within the Qin Army's medical battalion, and the famous doctors invited by the Qin Army from the local area are also becoming more and more accepting of gadgets such as thermometers and blood pressure monitors. Moreover, Liu Xian also successfully grabbed the invention right of the blood pressure monitor. Yes, before that, in addition to the invention of the Albert thermometer, which was similar to the glass thermometer of later generations, the sphygmomanometer, a necessary 'artifact' for later doctors, was still in the era of appearance. Except for a few people, there is no large-scale application at all.

Don't think too highly of Western medicine in this era, in the years that Western medicine has entered the Qin Army, what kind of level it is, Liu Xian has long understood. At this time, Western medicine, especially surgery, had not completely shaken off the shackles and forbidden spells of the 'universal law of bloodletting', the surgeon's operating table was a meat cutting board, and the medical battalion in the army was a slaughterhouse.

Like Qin Jun, all the medical staff were kept absolutely neat and tidy, and they all wore white coats. The appearance and miniaturization of special instruments such as scalpels, hemostats, needles, scissors, dilators, tweezers, etc., as well as the absolute cleanliness of the environment in the operating room, high-temperature disinfection, alcohol disinfection, and the emergence of rubber gloves......

One qiē and one qiē, so that the Qin military doctors have surpassed the vast majority of hospitals in the West in the same period in terms of surgical water products and most of the hardware equipment in surgery. However, due to the current level of surgical development of Western medicine, the effect is far from satisfactory.

The development of internal medicine in Western medicine is much stronger than that of surgery, and now in the European and American world, the status of internal medicine doctors is much higher than that of surgery. But when chemistry and Western medicine were not officially integrated, and today, when too many medical devices were not invented at all, Liu Xian was not at ease with the more than ten Western medicine physicians recruited from Europe and the United States. This is by no means an attack of 'Greater Chinaism' in his heart, but a real worry. Therefore, the two doctors waiting for the governor's yamen are all traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and they are both old Chinese medicine doctors who are fifty years old.
