241. Walking towards the side of Yuguan

Zhao Jingxing sat down on the chair next to him angrily: "In my opinion, this imperial court applied for the allocation of firearms, and the latest Hanyang made naturally no play, and it is impossible for Kuaili and Mauser 1871, so it is okay to give us Martini and Li Yi." No pop-up window update fast // AigEN color A series of nouns and terms made Sun Yuanqi dizzy, except for Hanyangzao who is more familiar with it, the others have never heard of it. I had to ask, "What do you mean?" ”

Zhao Jingxing explained: "Lin Mingdun's medium needle gun has a caliber of 10 mm, a gun length of 1321 mm, a gun weight of 434 kg, and a range of 3,001,200 yards. The prototype is the Lin Mington side pin gun of the United States equipped with troops, but the locking method has been slightly changed, and its combined chamber and locking mechanism have been improved under the original rolling locking method, making it simpler and more accurate.

"It would have been a very good breech single-shot gun. Guangxu 10 years 4), Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau introduced and began mass manufacturing. However, because the technology is not up to standard, the guns produced often misfire when they are used, resulting in accidental injuries. All the backlog of tens of thousands has been unused. Now the court heard that we wanted a gun, so they directly gave us this pile of garbage! ”

It is indeed a big problem to easily misfire, especially for students who are careless, and it is not beautiful if it is injured by mistake. Sun Yuanqi said: "Then what should I do? ”

"My lord, can you ask the court to change a batch of firearms?" Zhao Jingxing asked cautiously.

Sun Yuanqi glanced at him: "Do you think it's possible?" ”

Zhao Jingxing blushed: "Then sir, can you discuss with the Rulin Capital of Shanhaiguan and temporarily exchange our Lin Mingdun for the fast profits in their hands?" Even if it's just 500 sticks. ”

"Dream on you!" Sun Yuanqi flatly refused.

"20? No, branch! ”

"Impossible!" With the face of the minister, it is estimated that it is not a big problem to exchange a gun with Rulin for the time being, but Sun Yuanqi really does not want to make trouble at this critical time, "Since this gun is not safe, then return it first, and I will exchange 2,500 big knives and spears for you." ”

"Don't!" Zhao Jingxing hurriedly stood up, "Don't! Although this gun is easy to misfire, after all, it is still a pole firearm, isn't it? The deterrent power is much stronger than that of a broadsword and spear! Moreover, these guns have been kept in the warehouse, they are all new, and with bayonets, it is definitely a good weapon to suppress ordinary people! ”

"What if I get hurt by a fire?"

"It's fine!" Zhao Jingxing patted his chest and said, " In normal times, the guns and bullets are separated, the muzzle of the gun is not allowed to be aimed at people, and the bullets are never loaded unless it is absolutely necessary. Even if it is loaded, the first shot is an empty cartridge to ensure that there will be no problems. ”

Sun Yuanqi said: "Since you say so, I will believe it again." Write them down honestly, and keep them for later examination. ”

"Yes!" Zhao Jingxing really took out his pen and wrote. After writing, he respectfully handed it to Sun Yuanqi and looked at it.

Sun Yuanqi was also afraid of the grass rope once he was bitten by a snake for ten years, and after reading it carefully, he felt that there was no mistake in what he wrote, so he handed it back to him.

Zhao Jingxing took the notebook and asked with a sneer: "Sir, we have run out of this broken gun, the court should not want it, right?" ”

"Why do you ask this?"

Zhao Jingxing smiled even more happily when he saw that Sun Yuanqi did not refuse: "Sir, you also know that the imperial court is extremely strict with the management of firearms, and we don't have a few guns during military training in our school, so we have to use wooden sticks instead." If the court doesn't want this gun, I'll find someone to think about it and see if I can cure it. Even if it can't be cured, it is more energetic to practice with it than a wooden stick! ”

Sun Yuanqi shook his head: "It's impossible to stay all. If it is said that dozens of guns are intercepted in the name of loss and loss, it is estimated that the imperial court will not care. ”

"Can you throw more of that?" Zhao Jingxing looked hopeful.

"Get out!" Sun Yuan was furious.

Zhao Jingxing said with a smile: "If I can lose two hundred strokes, I will get out immediately." ”

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." Sun Yuanqi didn't want to deal with this lazy thing, so he could open a paint shop with some color.

"Then the humble position will be agreed to by the adult." As he spoke, he got up and prepared to leave.

"Get back!" Sun Yuanqi stopped him again, "Ask you about business, how many volunteers have arrived in Shanhaiguan now?" ”

Zhao Jingxing no longer smiled and replied seriously: "As of 12 noon today, a total of 447 people have reported, and 200 people have assisted in inspecting passengers in Mazhi County at various southbound crossings in Linyu County......"

Sun Yuanqi instructed: "All volunteers will first conduct epidemic prevention training, and then select 60 people from them, and prepare to go north after five days." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a copy of the "Epidemic Prevention Manual" from the table and handed it to Zhao Jingxing. After this pamphlet was written, he asked the officials to copy more than a dozen copies, in addition to playing the court to keep the bottom, giving it to Wu Liande, and delivering it to the printing house, there were several copies on his body.

Zhao Jingxing gave a military salute and withdrew from the county

In the following days, Sun Yuanqi was very busy. As the supreme commander of this epidemic prevention activity, in the face of an almost blank epidemic prevention system, there are too many problems that he needs to solve: always pay attention to the development of the epidemic in Northeast China, remotely control officials from all over the country to organize disaster relief without being there in person, guide Yongping Prefecture to build a simple infectious disease hospital, bargain with the imperial court, check the preparation of various materials, and inspect the training and learning of volunteers

Five days later, the Shanhaiguan Railway Station was crowded, but the atmosphere was solemn. At this moment, the first batch of epidemic prevention and disaster relief personnel will take a bus to Binjiang Hall, which is the hardest hit by the disaster.

Among this group of personnel, there are mainly more than 20 doctors and nurses led by Wu Liande, more than 10 researchers led by Zhao Jinghui, and guards. Their mission is to go deep into the hard-hit areas to establish a relatively complete infectious disease hospital, and to study the types of plague viruses, the way of infection, the symptoms and even the treatment.

Although this mission is not a life-or-death mission, it is indeed very dangerous. According to the Binjiang Department, more than 20 people are now dying every day. In this case, how can you not be respectful if you take the initiative to ask Ying to go?

Among the officials present, there was no doubt that Sun Yuanqi had the highest rank, and if he didn't speak, no one else dared to speak up. Until everyone was ready to board the car, Sun Yuanqi was still discussing the preparation of materials with Zhang Shizhao. Deputy Commander Rulin finally couldn't help it, and said in a low voice: "Lord Sun, everyone is about to get on the car, do you want to give a few orders?" ”

Sun Yuanqi immediately came to his senses: "Oh, it's time to tell a few words." Confucianism is unified, and there is General Lao these days. However, in the next ten days, nearly 2,000 people will arrive here one after another, and the general hopes that the problems of food and accommodation will be properly solved! Mazhi County, although the epidemic prevention in Linyu has achieved initial results, there can be no negligence, we must persevere, and I hope you can start and finish well. And please tell the prefect of Guan, and in the future, please send the epidemic report of Yongping Mansion to the Binjiang Hall. As he spoke, Sun Yuanqi arched his hand at everyone present: "The important task of stopping the epidemic from going south depends on your lords!" ”

Ru Lin, Ma Qinglin and the others looked at each other: I hadn't heard that Lord Qincha was going to Binjiang Hall before!

In their minds, the minister should always sit in Shanhaiguan, coordinate and command in the center, calmly dispatch all kinds of personnel and materials for disaster relief, and prevent the epidemic from moving south. In this way, you can not only avoid putting yourself in danger, but also take the opportunity to get some oil and water.

Ru Lin hurriedly admonished: "Lord Sun, as the minister of the epidemic prevention this time, you should sit in the rear, how can you put yourself in danger?" As the saying goes: 'The son of a daughter can't sit down.' What's more, you still have the imperial order? Never, never! ”

Ma Qinglin also persuaded: "Lord Sun, although the northeast is vast and thousands of miles, but now that the telegraph is developed, the daily epidemic can come in time, why bother to go in person? Moreover, there are many problems in epidemic prevention and disaster relief, and there are endless problems, all of which require you to decide.

You should also strategize to win a thousand miles. ”

Sun Yuanqi put on a resolute expression and said solemnly: "Your Excellency is kind, Sun Mou understands it." It's just that the situation in the Northeast is complicated and the epidemic is serious, Sun shoulders the heavy responsibility of eliminating the epidemic, and he does not dare to neglect it, so he should come to the epidemic prevention and disaster relief in person. I also hope that after Sun goes, you will be loyal to the state as always! ”

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the men who broke into the eastern part of the country were not the masters of fasting and reciting Buddha; As for the old Russian Maozi and the Japanese little devils, they are not good people; And those old fritters in the officialdom are probably ignoring Wu Liande and others who are not in the stream. It is estimated that only when the minister comes out can he barely hold the scene.

Sun Yuanqi wants to leave, Rulin, Ma Qinglin and others really can't stop it, and they may not want to keep it in their hearts: whose ass is clean? Wouldn't it be bad luck if someone who couldn't open his eyes poked himself out in front of Lord Chincha!

The Binjiang Hall is the area near Harbin now. But at the end of the 19th century, there were still a few scattered villages and tunzi, and there were no large towns. With the construction of the Eastern Railway between 1896 and 1903, a large number of workers from the Guannai region poured in, forming a large agglomeration area in Fujiadian, north of Harbin, with a population of more than 20,000. Later, Harbin gradually formed an international commercial port, so the local proverb "first there is Fujiadian, then there is Harbin".

Since Fujiadian was mainly inhabited by various laborers, the plague also appeared here. With its dense population and poor sanitation, it quickly became the epicenter of the epidemic.

As soon as the train of Sun Yuanqi and his entourage entered the territory of Jilin Province, Yu Xixing, the highest official stationed in the Binjiang Department, took the officials of the Northwest Road to stop the train, looking extremely nervous. After the ceremony, Yu Sixing hurriedly said: "Lord Sun, now that the epidemic situation in Binjiang Hall is serious, I hope that your lord will move to Alchuka (that is, Acheng)." Alchuka is not far from Binjiang, and the epidemic is relatively light, so you can command nearby! ”
