Chapter 53: The Death of the Governor of the Longest Day

Dr. Rodman took a closer look at Governor Oward's face, rolled his eyelids, and diagnosed that he had too much blood in his body, which had flooded his head and caused him to fall unconscious. He immediately wanted to bleed.

However, he thought back to Dr. Huang Linguang's words and hesitated.

However, when he saw the anguished expression of Governor Oward and the anxious look of his staff, he immediately made up his mind to do what had been proven effective in Europe for thousands of years.

He first found the vein of Governor Oward's left arm, cut it with a copper lancet, followed it with a copper bowl, and then looked at it, and the blood was indeed black.

Watching the blood gurgling out, Dr. Rodman thought happily, how good it was, that the unclean would soon be gone. But Governor Oward hadn't woken up yet.

He decided to put more blood "on the surface". The so-called "Xiangli" means that European doctors at that time believed that bloodletting should be done with venous blood in the diseased area. Dr. Rodman immediately cut both of Governor Oward's earlobes, and when he saw that the blood was not flowing fast enough, he squeezed hard.

It's good that Governor Oward woke up with a snort.

Onlookers secretly praised Dr. Rodman's brilliant medical skills. Governor Oward looked hard and saw that it was Dr. Rodman in front of him.

Governor Oward remembered him and knew that he was a good doctor. Governor Oward had a stomach ache, and it was he who diagnosed a possible lack of mucus, so he cured it with goat's bile and honey water, as well as a small piece of alum and rose petals.

"Dr. Rodman, my heart is hard ......"

"Your Excellency the Governor, if something like this happens, everyone's heart will be very upset, and tomorrow everything will be fine." Dr. Rodmen already knew from his entourage about their terrible plight.

He said to Governor Oward empathetically, "Let some more blood be bled and the disease will soon be haode." ”

Governor Oward nodded gratefully, "Put some more." ”

Dr. Rodman cut the vein in his right arm as well.

After a while, Governor Oward said, "Now I'm a little out of breath...... I'm afraid God is going to call me...... Did you send someone? ”

Governor Oward's vision was a little distracted, but he still managed to look in the direction of his men.

The onlookers immediately said, "Soldiers have been sent." You rest in peace, they didn't catch up. ”

"The Spaniards are our enemy, and our company cannot afford to lose Taiwan!" After saying that, Governor Oward on the hospital bed suddenly shivered, and immediately lost his breath. His gray face had an expression of unwillingness, his eyes were half-open, filled with too much reluctance and indignation......

Dr. Rodman was very sad, and it would have been better if he had bled sooner or more. But now it's too late to say anything, no one can disobey God's call. He carefully covered Governor Oward with a white sheet.

All took off their hats and bid farewell to this brave and wise and excellent governor.

Everyone thought in their hearts that no matter how good their medical skills were, they could not resist God's call, and God would decide everything. Only by sincerely praying for Emperor Xiangshang can you be saved.

Dr. Rodman also whispered a few words softly.

He felt very uncomfortable, and Governor Oward trusted him very much, and often encouraged him, and even brought him various medical books from Europe for him, so that he could learn a lot of new medical skills.

He lost a good man who supported him with all his heart. He remembered the kind smile of Governor Oward, and large tears slipped from his blue eyes.

After the burial of Governor Oward, a division arose.

It was dusk.

Some people want to continue walking north until they reach Tamsu. The road from Dayuan to the Chichi area to Tamsui has been open for several years, and the roads in many places are simply repaired, so there is no problem for night travel. Some want to stay for the time being, dragging their families with their mouths, it is too dangerous to walk at night, and they will leave tomorrow.

zuihou they decided to go their separate ways.

Due to the rush of running, most of the people had nothing on them. I walked overnight, replenished some necessities in the Akama area, and then set off.

In the night, a dragon made of torches can be seen meandering along.

For the time being, most of the people who stayed were people who dragged their families with their families.

That's how the Gauss family is. As a low-level employee, he couldn't live in a hospital room, so he had to temporarily light a bonfire on the side of the road to allow his family to settle down temporarily.

Daughter Jianing hid in the arms of her mother Tali and cried secretly, and along the way, she was exhausted.

Tali was a Newport commune, or indigenous, and later historians called them aborigines. She was not tall, slightly dark-skinned, and she was quite smart, and she learned Dutch and the Dutch way of life.

In the early days, the Dutch East India Company also consciously introduced some Dutch women or German women, but later found that their mortality rate was too high, both in terms of long-term transportation and adaptation to life, reaching 50% within a year!

The directors of the East India Company therefore admitted that it was futile for the East India Company and its interests and men to transport Dutch and German women to the East at high cost and with prejudice. Therefore, they consciously encourage their staff to marry with the local indigenous people and give their children citizenship. Of course, in terms of social status, it can never be compared to that of an authentic Dutch lowlander.

It wasn't long before the directors discovered that the marriage was harmless. It not only calmed the restlessness of the employees due to the lack of some kind of joy in life, but also built a commercial bridge between the company and the indigenous people. Later, the introduction of Caucasian women was completely terminated. Of course, if an employee is willing to bring his wife to work in the colonial merchant house, the company will also welcome it.

Some senior staff members chose Portuguese and Indian wives because most of them were Christians. Low-level clerks and mercenaries were less selective and opted for indigenous women who had converted to Christianity. It was in the latter case that Gauss married Tali.

The news of Governor Oward's tragic death fluttered like an ominous bat over the heads of all the East India Company members who stayed in the Red Nest region.

The burning bonfire lit up Gauss's face as brightly as he was right now.

Just now his son Gauss Jr. asked him: "Dad, we are going to run?" ”

"It doesn't matter if they're devils or pirates, they're going to kill us."

"But they watched us leave."

"That's when they don't have time, and you see that they're attacking the city of Geranza."

His son Gauss Jr. understood, and looked at the copper kettle hanging from the campfire in a daze.

The copper kettle was steaming hot, and the air was filled with the smell of coffee. At that time, the Dutch believed that unsweetened coffee cured headaches, and sweetened coffee made the blood flow faster.

Gauss took sick leave to stay home because he was sick, which allowed him and his family to prepare more adequate supplies when they fled. Although until now he still has a headache. But he had to endure the pain and run away with his family. Compared to the life of the whole family, his illness is nothing.

His wife, Tali, brought out a tin cup and poured him some hot coffee. Gauss took out a small piece of tobacco and put it in his mouth and chewed it, believing that doing so would kill some unclean things in his body. He gulped down his hot coffee, sweating a little and feeling comfortable. At this time, he forgot about the idea of going to Dr. Rodman for bloodletting.

He smiled and said to Tali, "Add a few more pieces of sugar, and you and the child can drink more." ”

His wife nodded softly.

Dr. Rodman patrolled fire after fire, and almost every one of them was a lovely family. He had listened to all the things that people had said about whether he was a devil or a pirate, and he secretly hated those things. It must be something from hell that destroys everything in this beauty.

What about this weishenme? Weishenme will someone hate the beauty haode life?

He had no fear of these rumors, and even he believed that he would never be afraid of them.

He also learned a theory called "Five Elements" from Dr. Huang Linguang, and half-understood the truth that these five elements are mutually reinforcing, which increased his knowledge a lot.

"Ke", "Sheng", he has been silently reciting the Da Ming pronunciation of these two words in his heart, and understands these two words as conquest, victory, gestation, and birth.

The Ming people believe that everything in nature on this shijie can be classified, and it is a cycle of mutual reciprocity, but you don't find it. So, what else are you afraid of? What is "raw" fear? And what "gram" fear will it be? It's a question worth considering.

He won't leave until all these poor people do. He is going to do everything in his power to help them, whether they are fellow citizens or others. God has given all people only one heart and two lungs, which shows that God wants all people to learn a love and reverence, and to learn to share in the aura that God has given them.

He moved out of the hospital's small warehouse. When the items he needed were not enough, he knocked on the door of the Akito and bought them with cash, and the kind-hearted Akito did not want the money, but he silently remembered it in his heart. Let's give back when we have a chance to return later.

Fortunately, thank God, there are no sick people, they are just frightened and exhausted.

He went back to his studio, lit a candle, meditated, and began to study his bat droppings again.

Governor Oward encouraged him to study medicine while he was alive, so he must have honored Governor Oward.

There were several rooms next door to him, all of which were occupied by senior staff.

Senior Merchant Stien is now the highest-ranking officer. Several staff members took the initiative to come to his room to discuss with him. In the dim candlelight, the voice of the senior merchant Stien was very loud.

"Let those simple-minded and rude soldiers die, they dare to ignore us and their families and run away overnight, they will definitely die on the road!"

A customs collector timidly asked, "Mr. Stien, will we be able to run tomorrow?" I saw that they had something that could fly. ”

Senior Merchant Stien thought for a moment and said, "At least we're running away now, and they're not chasing after us." What about weishenme? ”

A clerk interjected, "Are they few? ”

"That's right," exclaimed Senior Merchant Stien, "whether they're devils or pirates, they're too few in number. With more than 20,000 employees, our company can employ countless brave soldiers. Our merchant ships are larger than the rest of Europe combined, and we can also hire countless warships to fight. The company will never give up on us and our employees! ”
