Chapter 157: Save the Prince of Great Britain! Shen Baozhen marries a daughter!
The court doctor rushed in quickly.
At this time, they can do very little, only drink some warm sugar water and massage their abdomen hard.
But it's not really of much use, and it doesn't ease the pain.
Severe abdominal pain was followed by frequent diarrhea.
And this time is also the moment when Prince Albert feels the most undignified.
Because many court doctors were on the side, and so was the queen.
He had asked many times that whenever he had diarrhea, Her Majesty would be able to avoid it, so that he could avoid his embarrassed appearance.
But the queen felt that she needed to be by her husband's side in such a painful time, so she even held each other's hands.
And once diarrhea is triggered, it goes over and over again.
Basically, it was a sharp pain, then diarrhea, and then the severe pain was relieved a bit. But it won't be long before the pain comes back and then the diarrhea comes back.
It's so repeated that it's painful.
During this time, the prince did not even dare to eat anything, not even drink much water.
Because of this frequent diarrhea, it hurts the rectum very much.
The court physician had already judged that if this diarrhea became more frequent, anal fistula and perianal abscess might appear.
And today's seizure is destined to be painful.
Because, over and over again, it's been more than four hours.
Prince Albert was already pale and covered in sweat, his lips were almost dehydrated, and his face was even blue and purple.
The queen took his hand and kissed him on the cheek, as if she wanted to share his pain.
"Poor Charles, my poor Albert, please God let me share your pain......"
Then she said to the court doctor, "Don't you have the slightest way to relieve the prince's pain?" The wealth of the British Empire could not solve this disease? ”
The court doctor had no choice but to bear the queen's blame in silence.
What is served is still only the product of willow leaves boiled in water, which is more than the original version of salicylic acid.
However, salicylic acid is ineffective in treating Crohn's disease.
Prince Albert swallowed the glass of salicylic acid soup with fear.
It's not that this thing is hard to drink, but every time he drinks it, it will strongly irritate his intestines, causing severe pain again.
Really......
Just drank it!
That terrible pain struck again.
"Ah......h
The cold sweat all over his body broke out again.
This kind of pain is really beyond the limit of tolerance, almost like a woman giving birth.
Moreover, this time, the pain lasted so long.
The queen hugged her husband desperately, tears pouring out.
"Morphine...... Morphine, give me morphine......" cried the prince weakly.
The queen said, "Honey, you can't use morphine......
Morphine can relieve pain, but it is highly addictive.
At this time, Prince Albert desperately covered his stomach and desperately begged God that he was really willing to pay any price as long as it could reduce his suffering.
At this time, he suddenly saw the bottle on the table, and the pale yellow crystals in it.
The words of Ba Xia Li a few days ago sounded in my head, this is a miracle medicine specially developed by Sir Su Yu of the Qing Kingdom after hearing about the prince's illness, and it has a miraculous effect on the prince's illness.
He is especially empathetic to the expectant look in his eyes when he experiences grief and is full of anticipation for the pain of others.
So at this time, all in my mind was the eyes of Basha.
It's like grasping at a life-saving straw.
Originally, the prince was dismissive of the medicine sent by Su Yu, because everything in the Qing Kingdom represented backwardness.
But now, the pain is extreme, and he really doesn't want to give up any hope.
He also wanted to grasp a life-saving straw.
"Yes, with that medicine......" Prince Albert pointed to the bottle on the table with all his might.
The court doctor stepped forward and picked up the bottle, which contained a very professional instruction manual.
How to use it, how much to use at a time, etc.
"Your Royal Highness, where did this medicine come from?" The court doctor said.
The prince said weakly: "Qing Guo is here." ”
The court doctor exclaimed: "Qing Guo? That rotten, ignorant, and ignorant Qing country? ”
At this time, the prince felt that every second was torment, and used all his strength to say: "Quick, fast......"
Because, he felt that the pain had intensified.
The blunt knife wrangled desperately inside his abdomen, desperately wrenched.
It made his eyes blacken for a while.
The court doctor immediately looked at Her Majesty.
The queen said, "Test first, quickly." ”
Next, the court doctor immediately did a human test, a mouse test.
The first thing to do is to make sure that the drug has no toxic side effects.
"Ah...... Ah...... "The Prince's whole body curled up in a ball, and his mouth kept chanting God.
Human testing is fine, and rat testing is fine.
The court doctor immediately took a unit of metronidazole, which was then melted with saline and drawn into a syringe tube.
In the end, he was nervous and said, "This drug, the origin is completely unknown, are you really sure you want to use it?" ”
"Quick...... Fast...... Come on......" said the Prince, trembling.
The court doctor was full of uneasiness, and slowly injected the potion into the prince's veins.
And then......
Everyone waited silently for a reaction.
In response to the inflammatory response and severe pain of Crohn's disease, metronidazole has a strong anti-inflammatory effect and is very fast.
Next, it's diarrhea!
And the diarrhea at this time is also a kind of torture, and the hot pain in the rectum is also like cutting with a knife.
According to past experience.
It doesn't take long after the diarrhea to cause the pain to come back again.
This is followed by persistent diarrhea.
Directly make a person prostrate.
But...... None of this happened.
The prince waited in horror for the next severe pain, followed by frequent diarrhea.
But......
The next time the pain came, but it was not severe, but much milder.
The next time the diarrhea came, but it was much milder.
And then...... The next abdominal pain did not come again.
On the contrary, he felt that there was a warm feeling in the place where the abdomen had been in sharp pain, and after repeated severe pain, he faintly felt a little comfortable.
It worked so magically.
Pulled him back from the abyss of pain.
Eventually, his energy could no longer hold on.
The whole person fell asleep.
The queen said in a trembling voice: "This, is this medicine effective?" ”
The words are full of anticipation.
The court doctor said excitedly: "It should be, it should be." Because as usual, His Royal Highness needs a long process, the pain is reduced, the frequency of attacks slows down, and it takes more than several hours until it slowly disappears. Then it takes a recovery period of about a week. But now, his abdominal pain and diarrhea are completely relieved by a cliff and disappear directly. ”
"Obviously, it's the miracle drug that works."
The queen said, "Is it like morphine, which only numbs the pain?" ”
The court doctor said, "Obviously not, Your Majesty. Pain is an adjunct, and diarrhea is the most immediate symptom. Morphine can improve pain, but it can't stop diarrhea. And now not only the pain has stopped, but so has the diarrhea. ”
"So, it's absolutely certain that it's the drug that works."
The queen said, "Show it to me." ”
The court physician handed the glass bottle to the queen, who took it in her hand and was immediately cautious, as if it were a priceless treasure.
The queen said, "What kind of medicine is this?" ”
The court doctor said, "Metronidazole." ”
He really couldn't imagine that the entire elite medical community in London was helpless about His Royal Highness's illness, and as a result, he was treated by a Qing nobleman thousands of miles away.
This...... It's amazing.
It's incredible.
……………………………………
At this time, it was already the second half of the night.
The court doctors retreated, and they were supposed to let the servants wash her husband's body before going to sleep, but seeing her sleeping husband, the queen gave up on the idea.
She took off her shirt and lay down behind her husband, covered with a thin quilt.
The sound of the dripping raindrops outside was only now clear.
The queen gently hugged her husband, not disgusted that he was full of the smell of sweat, and said softly: "Beloved, our God has looked at you and begun to answer our prayers. ”
Noon the next day!
Prince Albert had just gotten up, bathed and changed, drank milk, and ate soft food, lest he irritate his fragile stomach.
Even now he is careful when he drinks milk, lest any one of them accidentally trigger the illness and let the pain continue to strike.
The court doctor came in again and said, "Your Royal Highness, according to the instructions of this medicine, we should inject you two more times, do you need it?" ”
Prince Albert said, "Is this the order of that miraculous doctor thousands of miles away?" ”
The court doctor said, "Yes." ”
Prince Albert said: "In front of the patient, the doctor is the greatest, so of course I obey." ”
Next, the doctor injected him with another unit.
"If you feel any discomfort, please notify me immediately." The court doctor said.
Then he saluted and left.
As a court doctor, he was also in a very happy mood, because Prince Albert's recovery would bring many good emotions, at least within this court.
The prince was humble and gentle, and when he was there, the whole court was gentle and drizzling.
He is like the ...... of the entire court, if he knows how to Chinese, he should know the word Dinghai Divine Needle.
After Albert had eaten the so-called breakfast, he was weak, and he did not intend to deal with government affairs today, nor did he intend to receive any envoys.
Holding the bottle in his hand, he looked at the handwritten instructions on it.
I was amazed.
I really didn't expect that a Qing nobleman thousands of miles away would save himself from the abyss of pain.
The Parliament of the British Empire, on the other hand, had just passed a war agreement against the Qing State.
It's really like a story in a fantasy.
Next, he rang the bell on the table.
Suddenly, an insider walked in.
Prince Albert said: "Formal invitation to Sir Baling and Sir Basha, I will receive them in room 1844 at ...... time."
Albert thought about it for a moment, and now his mental state was too bad and his brain was not working fast to probably withstand long talks.
"The time is set for one o'clock at noon in three days."
"Please make arrangements in advance to ensure that room 1844 is vacant at that time, and that there is sufficient etiquette to receive the two gentlemen."
The inner official said: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Next, Prince Albert kept himself in a comfortable state, picked up the file on the table, and read it slowly.
This document was ostensibly written by Bao Ling and Ba Xiali.
However, all the content in it was written by Su Yu.
From another perspective, another possibility of Sino-British relations is elaborated.
Perhaps, when the uncrowned king of the British Empire picked up this document, the wheels of history split a little apart.
…………………………………………………………
Leave Tenkyo!
Su Yu took a British armed freighter and returned to Jiujiang.
This time, he could only stay in Jiujiang for a short time, and then he had to go to the next place without stopping.
He will be very busy for the rest of the year.
Go and meet with the feudal officials in various places and negotiate.
All for the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone.
Although the Basha and Bao Ling in London have not yet been negotiated, I don't even know if it will be successful.
But Su Yu's side has gone all out to break the boat.
We can't wait until the dust settles and the secret treaty between the two countries is fully signed before we do these preparations.
How much time would that waste?
In the cabin, in front of Su Yu, there was a thick stack of documents.
He needs to read and sign all these things.
After each document is signed, it costs a lot of silver.
10 million taels of silver were mortgaged in Liru Bank for three months and could not be moved.
Previously, Su Yu raised 12 million taels of silver, mortgaged 10 million taels, and 2 million taels.
And now there is not much left of these two million taels.
He spends a lot of money every day.
During this time, he rotated every day.
First he negotiated with Zeng Guofan, and then went to Shanghai to negotiate with Wittoma and Sir Henry, which was not too successful.
Next, he held talks with He Guiqing, the governor of Liangjiang, and Wang Youling, the political envoy of Jiangsu.
Very deep talks.
Then he went to the north of Tianjing to negotiate with Hong Xiuquan's special envoy Lin Shaozhang.
Next, I will go to Chengdu to meet with the governor of Sichuan.
Then I will go to Kunming and talk with the governor of Yunnan.
After becoming the governor of Jiangxi, Su Yu's role completed a big change in an instant.
He knew, of course, that the pace of war was getting closer.
He wants to make sure that his Jiujiang Economic Pilot Zone will succeed.
So, it takes a lot of resources, and it needs a lot of markets.
After the factory opened, it was too late to go to these markets, and it was necessary to develop them in advance, and to hold talks with the governors of the provinces in advance.
There are still a lot of raw materials, a lot of materials, and they need to deal with the provinces.
Even before the war, Su Yu had to build enough tacit understanding with the provincial feudal officials.
Even...... Even in the jurisdiction of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Su Yu will not just pass.
At this time, other materials may be in short supply in Tianjing, but there are countless amounts of silver.
And what is wonderful is that these provincial governors are all self-contained, and they have a lot of relationship with the imperial court in the capital, but they have a strong independence.
The previous identity of Su Yao's favored ministers was not very useful to them.
And now that Su Yao has lost his holy family, the impact is not too big.
As long as there is interest, everyone can cooperate.
And these feudal officials are very arrogant, and they are reluctant to deal with them when they come to visit Su Yu before, even if you are the emperor's favorite minister, but your level is not enough.
But now in the capacity of the governor of Jiangxi, it is completely sufficient.
Almost all the feudal officials will receive you with enough courtesy.
Zeng Guofan and Luo Bingzhang are no exception.
Although Zeng Guofan personally negotiated at Su Yu's home, he was still high in his bones and felt that the two sides were not at the same level.
And this time, Zeng Guofan's attitude was completely different.
It's a respectful attitude at the same level.
And Su Yao has been running all the way, and there is one person who always follows him, and that is Hu Xueyan.
He didn't say anything, just a bystander.
From Beijing to Tianjin, and then to Shanghai.
He watched Su Yu take a bill of exchange of 10 million taels of silver and enter Liru Bank.
I saw him and Sir Bashali running frantically for a new line of Sino-British relations.
Watch as Su Yu boarded the battleship of Count Elgin.
Looking at the negotiations between Su Yu and the Governor of Liangjiang, the Governor of Hunan, and the Governor of Hubei.
Watching the negotiation between Su Yu and Tianjing Hong Xiuquan's envoy.
Something, he understood.
But there were some things that he didn't understand.
His vision wasn't that high.
However, he still felt an incomparably strong shock.
Before, he felt that he followed Wang Youling, he went to Shanghai to cooperate with foreigners, and he had opened his eyes, and he was already a great person in the Qing Dynasty.
And now, he felt like a frog at the bottom of a well.
Su Yu took him and saw a higher-level world.
That kind of layout is not only in Liangjiang, nor just in the entire Qing Dynasty, but at the level of the whole world.
The kind of vertical and horizontal, the kind of falling everywhere, the kind of mountain rain is coming, and the sense of layout that the big event is approaching.
Let Hu Xueyan be deeply intoxicated.
In comparison, his backer, Wang Youling, the political envoy of Jiangsu, and even He Guiqing, the governor of Liangjiang, are really nothing.
The levels are too far apart.
At this time, I saw Su Yu sitting on a chair and closing his eyes to recuperate.
Hu Xueyan deeply felt that Su Yu's world was too lonely, because almost no one could keep up with him, and no one could share his worries.
The servant made a cup of coffee, and Hu Xueyan took it. He didn't know why Su Yu liked this kind of thing before, it was so unpleasant.
And now he knew, because only this thing was the most refreshing, more refreshing than strong tea.
"Your Excellency!" Hu Xueyan stepped forward and put the coffee in front of Su Yao.
Su Yu woke up, then picked up the coffee and poured it hard.
"Guang Yong, would you like a drink?" Su Yu said.
"No need." Hu Xueyan said: "At least not now." ”
Then, after a moment's hesitation.
Hu Xueyan suddenly knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, from now on, Xueyan is willing to saddle the horse and be loyal to your lordship." ”
Su Yu was stunned for a moment, and then stepped forward to help: "Okay! ”
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I've been eyeing you for a long time, but you are Wang Youling's person, and it's not easy for me to speak." Su Yu said: "But I value your talent too much, and there are too few people around me who can use it." ”
"Now that you've said it, I'll tell you bluntly. Follow me, and you will manipulate world-class trade in the future. ”
"All the English businessmen, the bankers, whom you need to tie up now, will all be prostrate at your feet in the future."
"In the future, if you make a little move, you can block a certain industry in an Asian country."
"As long as you perform well enough, you will be one of the top officials in the court in the future!"
This series of words directly blinded Hu Xueyan.
These things, he didn't dare to imagine at all.
I really can't think about it, this is an official-based country, even if Hu Xueyan is a businessman, he also dreams of getting the treatment of a bureaucrat.
All he could think of was donating a fictitious official.
A big guy?!
I didn't dare to think about it for a few lifetimes.
But Su Yu really didn't paint cakes, Sheng Xuanhuai did it, Hu Xueyan couldn't do it?
Is he Su Yu inferior to Li Hongzhang?
Hu Xueyan said: "The villain is short-sighted, and he just wants to follow the adults to see the higher world." ”
………………………………………………
When Su Lu's armed freighter arrived in Jiujiang.
The whole meeting, countless, mighty, all of them are big ships.
Hundreds of large ships.
The amount of supplies he bought arrived.
Fifteen thousand, the second group of immigrants arrived.
At this time, disembarkation is underway.
The whole dock is bustling with people.
Su Yu said: "Go to another dock to land, don't disturb these immigrants." ”
The steamer then proceeded to the pier on the other side to land.
Su Yu was lightly dressed and entered Jiujiang City from another city gate.
At this time, Jiujiang City showed an alternative, almost deformed prosperity.
The original new army, plus Lin Qirong's command, totaled nearly 10,000 people.
Together with the first batch of immigrants, the second batch of immigrants, the population exceeded 30,000.
With the addition of a number of inhabitants, they cautiously descended from the hill and entered the city.
There is also a group of people who are merchants!
Knowing that Jiujiang had business to do, countless businessmen flocked to it.
Food, clothes, quilts, etc.
Countless supplies poured in.
And Jiujiang is like a greedy beast, swallowing all the supplies that come.
The amount of silver used every day is staggering.
As a result, the entire Jiujiang River showed a short-lived, astonishing boom.
After Su Yu deposited 10 million taels of silver into Liru Bank, he turned around and borrowed nearly a million pounds.
Otherwise, his money has already been spent.
At present, there are people in charge of money in Jiujiang City, such as Waitabu, as well as Bai Feifei's father, Master Bai Yan.
The two of them spent money in a terrified way.
Master Baiyan can be regarded as having experienced the world, and after a series of cruel and bloody struggles, he has seized millions of belongings.
However, it took several generations to earn his millions of belongings.
And now, in just a month or so, millions have been spent from him.
How does this not make him tremble?
Astronomical quantities of grain, astronomical quantities of materials, and astronomical quantities of steel continue to pour into Jiujiang.
Countless woods, countless stones, and so on.
He didn't even know why Su Yu had to buy so much grain.
The entire Jiujiang City is rushing forward at an exaggerated speed,
It's all a boom made with a lot of money.
In the eyes of many, it is completely unsustainable.
Another person who is full of uneasiness is Shen Baozhen, the prefect of Jiujiang.
He was a brilliant man, a first-class man in internal affairs, but during this time, he did not meddle in government affairs.
Because he couldn't read either, he was also very uneasy.
I don't know why it's so urgent, so fast?
As a full-fledged bureaucrat, he was very afraid of this almost exaggerated leap.
He is afraid of this kind of deformed prosperity that is not steady, does not land.
He waited for Su Yu at the prefect's yamen every day, but Su Yu was always busy, never came back, and didn't know where to go.
Today, Su Yu is finally back.
Shen Baozhen came to Su Yu with red eyes and said, "Lord Futai, we need to talk." ”
Su was dusty, but still nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
Then, the door was closed.
Su Yu and Shen Baozhen had a secret talk.
"Lord Futai, the Jiangxi Governor Yamen is in Nanchang, not in Jiujiang." Shen Baozhen said: "Why don't you go to Nanchang?" ”
Su Yu said: "I won't go to Nanchang, I will stay in Jiujiang, and all my next energy will be put on the Jiujiang Economic Pilot Zone and the factory." I handed over all the political power of Jiangxi and the military power of the green battalion to the Hunan army. In exchange, he had to help me with more than 6 million acres of fertile land, 300,000 immigrants, and 6 million acres of fertile land for ploughing cattle and farm tools. ”
Just this paragraph alone made Shen Baozhen stunned.
You tried all your tricks to take down the governor of Jiangxi, but you handed over all the most valuable political power, the green battalion military power?
This...... Why is that?
"Lord Futai, before leaving Beijing, the emperor secretly summoned me and gave me the right to play secretly, so that I could keep an eye on you to see if you had any different intentions, and be ready to report at any time." Shen Baozhen said: "But I didn't waver, because I knew that the emperor was the biggest backer, but he might not be my backer." ”
"If I betray again, then I will become a slave of the three surnames, and I will die without a place to bury."
"So, in order to show you my heart, I even plan to tie up with you further."
"However, I hesitate now, because I can't understand what you're doing right now."
"You threw away almost all the power of the governor of Jiangxi, and you finally borrowed 10 million taels of silver, but in just a few months, you spent millions."
"The whole of Jiujiang has entered a deformed, terrible prosperity."
"You're running all over the country."
"It was like everything was running wild, but I couldn't read it and I couldn't understand why."
"I'm scared!"
"So Lord Futai, I want to know why? If I didn't get this answer, I wouldn't dare to stay in Jiujiang, so I would just go back to my hometown and quit my career. ”
"I really planned to tie you up completely, even if you lost your Holy Grace. But your chariot seems to be rushing towards an endless abyss, and I am very afraid. ”
"You give me a reason so that I can be completely loyal to you, and do things for you wholeheartedly, and I am afraid of the feeling of being blindfolded, riding on a fiery horse, and running to a precipice."
Su Yu was silent for a while, and said, "Mr. Youdan, this reason is that the war is coming. ”
"The British Empire, France, and even the United States, and possibly the Tsarist Empire, will pounce directly."
"This war will completely break the backbone of the Qing court and will bring a devastating blow to the Qing Dynasty."
"I need to complete a lot of layouts before the war comes."
"When the war broke out, I became an absolute safe zone and entered into rapid development."
"I need to build another order with the British Empire, and even with the entire world powers, in these two years."
"This kind of order will save China."
Suddenly, Shen Baozhen trembled.
After a long while, he said hoarsely, "Yes, to what extent?" Is it more powerful than more than ten years ago? ”
Su Yu said: "It is not the same day, the country is turbulent, and even in the eyes of many people, it seems that there is a danger of losing the country." ”
Shen Baozhen trembled and said, "However, the British army over there in Guangzhou has completely retreated. ”
Su Yu said: "Minister Bao Ling has been dismissed, not long ago, I just boarded the warship of the new Minister Count Ergin, he used to be the governor of North America, and his power is not the same as Bao Ling. The Commander of the Navy, Sima Mi Li, and I severed the interest of hundreds of thousands of pounds. If I'm not mistaken, the British Parliament should have approved the all-out war resolution against the Qing Dynasty. ”
"Next, there will be a steady stream of warships joining the Far Eastern Fleet."
"The British Empire will send troops from the colonies to the East."
"The gods are coming, and they can't stop the pace of war."
Shen Baozhen was silent for a long time.
After a long while, he bowed down and said: "The lower official is willing to be completely loyal to Lord Futai, do his best, and die." ”
"Shen Bao'er, the daughter of the lower official, is willing to marry an adult as a concubine, please accept it!"

Note: The first update was sent, and it was written that at half past nine in the morning, I went to bed.
Ladies and gentlemen, if you have a monthly pass, remember to vote for me, the pastry really did your best, thank you, bow.
