Chapter 15: Major Andrew

The next morning, as soon as he had eaten indiscriminately, Dr. Shepud sent someone to invite Li Yingyuan over, but instead of going to the medical tent, he went directly to the gate of the county office. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When he arrived at the yamen, Li Yingyuan found that there was a large circle of ordinary people outside in Dinghai, and several officials were busy maintaining order. Dozens of English soldiers armed with muskets sat on the sidelines, watching the people with fierce eyes.

"Folks, folks, be quiet, be quiet. I invite you to come here today because Major Andrew of England wants to address you, and I would like to give you the Major's instructions. "Chen Dazhutou came out to speak very dogleggedly,

A tall English man came out to speak. Originally, the appearance of the English and the Ming people was very different, and their aesthetic views were very different, but this English was also quite handsome in the eyes of the Ming people, with brilliant golden hair, and a small handful of hair was combed into small braids and combed down from the side of the head. This is naturally completely different from the customs on the side of Daming, but it also looks quite attractive.

With the unique red officer clothes of the English people, Li Yingyuan also had to admit that this was probably the most handsome English he had ever seen. The Major Andrew was also apparently a good learner of Mingling, and spoke quite fluently, albeit with a slight Cantonese accent.

Colonel Andrew talked about the strength of the English Empire, how many powerful warships and soldiers it has, how huge the colonies it has, and how large the whole earth can go around, in short, it is a country with a huge land area, a large population and a strong civilization. Although I don't know what the earth is, many people still listen to it with relish.

Then, as soon as the conversation changed, Colonel Andrew talked about Da Ming again, saying that Da Ming was rich and civilized, and how friendly England was to Da Ming.

“... Ming is an important trading partner of the European continent, and we have come here with great goodwill, hoping to establish long-term trade relations with Ming, hoping to bring the gospel of God to Mingguo, and hoping to bring His Majesty Charles's care to Mingguo. Major Andrew said a bunch of goodwill things about the two countries, and then turned on a series of accusations against some people.

"However, we have so much goodwill towards the Ming Kingdom that some people want to go against the goodwill of His Majesty Charlie and are bent on destroying the friendly relations between the two countries.

Not long after we arrived in the waters of Dinghai Island, a small group of people attacked the Imperial Navy without asking any questions, and several Imperial soldiers were injured. Of course, this little man was properly punished, and all of you should know it.

Yesterday, however, there were those who insulted the goodwill of the British Empire with ulterior hostility. Several soldiers of the English Empire were wounded, but there were others who hid and forbade the proper medical treatment of the soldiers of the English Empire.

This is the greatest insult to our mighty army, and it must be punished. Second Lieutenant Bob, you bring the guys. ”

The scar-faced officer who brought Li Yingyuan over yesterday brought a few soldiers over, but he brought a few Ming people over. Seeing the faces of those people clearly, Li Yingyuan's face changed, and those people turned out to be Langzhong from Dinghai Island.

Although he has not been in Dinghai for a long time, because of the guild, Li Yingyuan has gone to various medical halls to say hello and met these Langzhong.

I saw that all these Lang Zhong looked depressed, and there were some blood marks on their faces, and it seemed that they had experienced quite unpleasant things. Li Yingyuan even speculated that these Lang Zhong were not brought here today, but were escorted by English soldiers yesterday, and may have spent the night in some prison-like place.

At this time, I saw Major Andrew pointing at these Lang Zhong and accusing them in a stern tone: "Our soldiers are wounded, and we are willing to provide generous medical fees, but these people try their best to hide and are unwilling to treat our soldiers. This is an unforgivable crime, and I will punish these sinners on behalf of the enemy nation of England. ”

Li Yingyuan thought that this Major Andrew was referring to punishments such as beating or whipping, but after a while he knew that it was not. I saw this Major Andrew take out a short fire hammer from his waist and point it at those Lang Zhong.

"Ahh

The Major Andrew ignored it, and pulled the trigger with the firearm, only to see a loud bang sound, and one Lang Zhong fell in a pool of blood. There was a huge commotion in the crowd of onlookers, but Andrew ignored it, reloaded his ammunition again, and then shot at a certain man.

The crowd suddenly surged, as if in a hurry to move forward, and as if it was in a hurry to retreat, to disperse in all directions. Li Yingyuan suddenly felt that the blood in his body was flowing backwards, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Lift them up. Major Andrew signaled, and the soldiers hurriedly lifted up the arms of the two Lang Zhong who had fallen to the ground, and the two Lang Zhong leaned on the soldier and cried out in pain.

The people watching were relieved, it turned out that Major Andrew's two shots only hit the legs of those two people, although the injuries were not light, but the two Lang Zhong were alive.

"Okay, that's the end of the punishment, I hope the fate of these two people can make everyone understand who is in charge of Dinghai now. Andrew seemed pleased with the effect he had caused: "Since the punishment is over, then the corresponding reward should be carried out accordingly."

Yesterday, when the soldiers of the British Empire were wounded, all Lang Zhong retreated, and only one brave Lang Zhong stepped forward to provide medical treatment to the soldiers of the Empire.

We in the English Empire have clear rewards and punishments, and we will never forget those who have helped us. We will offer him a reward of 100 taels of silver, and we will hire him for a monthly salary of 10 taels of silver. I hope that everyone can follow the example of this Lang Zhong and try their best to help the English Empire. ”

Major Andrew signaled, several soldiers hurriedly pushed Li Yingyuan forward, Andrew kindly grabbed Li Yingyuan's hand, said a few words of encouragement, and raised his hand to signal to the surrounding people.

Li Yingyuan suddenly felt that his brain exploded with a bang, his heart was full of inexplicable anger, and his entire chest seemed to be about to crack, but he didn't know what to do. The so-called task, as well as the prohibition on himself, were all forgotten by him, leaving only a deep sense of humiliation, anger, and fear.

Li Yingyuan was like losing his soul, and he couldn't remember the rest of the things, just mechanically hoping to stay away from that Major Andrew. However, the Major Andrew did not care about this, and said a lot to the people before signaling them to disperse and go back.

Li Yingyuan felt that he couldn't walk, and he didn't even know what he was doing, so several soldiers looked at him in surprise and helped him back to the county office under the instructions of the officers. When Li Yingyuan came to his senses, he found that he was back in the medical tent he was in yesterday, and the Dr. Shepud looked at him sympathetically.

"It's the first time you've seen someone shoot someone in the face, right? Trust me, you'll get used to it. Dr. Shepud poured Li Yingyuan a glass of water, and handed him a tray with a few ingots of bright silver.

"I'll bring you something that will make you happy. This is one hundred taels of silver, which has just been brought from the county treasury, but it is full of ten official silver. This is a thank you for the treatment and prescription you provided yesterday, and I hope it will cheer you up. ”

Li Yingyuan looked at Dr. Shepud, waved his hand, but threw all the things in the tray to the ground.

"I don't know what you think of me, Dr. Shepud, and you will be happy to see your fellow people shot in the face and put a few ingots of silver in someone's face, is that the kind of person who has no heart, no feelings, and no shame?"

"Oh, we looked into it. You are not from Dinghai, you just came from Hangzhou, and you have nothing to do with those Langzhong, and you don't understand what their affairs have to do with you. Dr. Shepud's face remained unchanged, and he looked at Li Yingyuan calmly.

"You know what I'm talking about. Li Yingyuan said solemnly: "I have treated the wounds and diseases of your soldiers, and provided prescriptions for various diseases, and your way of repaying me is to humiliate me in public and make me a traitor and a traitor in the eyes of my countrymen."

I will never forget everything you did to me. ”

Li Yingyuan stood up and opened the door angrily and left, and the Dr. Shepud sat motionless in his chair, watching with interest as Li Yingyuan slammed the door and went out.

When Li Yingyuan walked away, a person came in from the next room and sat in front of Dr. Shepud.

"A man with a good temper, but you really let him speak to you with such an attitude?" The golden glistening on the man's head was the Major Andrew.

"It's not his attitude that matters, it's what that he represents. Dr. Shepud, however, sighed: "This country, this nation, has dominated Asia for so long that even a small civilian feels that he does not need to be at the mercy of foreigners, even if these foreigners are armed with guns and have forces far beyond his imagination. ”

"So what?" said Major Andrew, laughing disapprovingly, "I don't believe there is anything that a full gun and cannon can't do." ”
