"What is alcohol? Is it for the wounded?" Lu Yunchang asked quickly when he saw that he was getting to the point.
"No, no, alcohol is the liquid substance left after removing as much water as possible from the wine. It is highly concentrated, so it is called alcohol. This substance can eliminate inflammation, wash away dirt such as insect eggs, and can also kill bacteria."
"What are bacteria?"
"Bacteria are tiny things that grow on the surface of wounds."
Lu Yunchang looked at Li Dan in disbelief: "How could Mr. Li know that there is such a thing? Since it is so small, it must be difficult to see with the naked eye. Did you rely on your imagination, or did you see it and know it through some method?"
Unexpectedly, this person was so stubborn. Li Dan tilted his head and thought: "Let's do an experiment." After saying that, he asked Xiao Wan'er to go to the street and buy a small piece of meat with skin, wash it and score the skin. One knife. "Tomorrow we will see what will grow on this wound."
The next day, Li Dan brought a microscope borrowed from Sun Shu, dipped an absorbent cotton swab into the meat wound, smeared it on the glass plate, and put it under the microscope for observation. Then he asked Lu Yunchang to sit down. Go to your position and look at the fungi displayed in the mirror.
"What, what is this?" Mr. Lu turned pale with fright.
"These are the bacteria produced on the surface of the wound. They will destroy the muscles and blood, causing the patient to experience symptoms such as infection and tissue necrosis. They will cause fever, nausea, vomiting or confusion, and the wound will become suppurative, swollen, etc. These little things are The root of it all!”
"Did adults make this thing?"
Li Dan nodded: "We have built a total of twenty units so far, which are used in the Mining and Metallurgical Research Institute and the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry School."
"Can..., can I sell it to the next one?"
"Of course." Li Dan smiled: "Each unit costs five taels and four cents, but it takes half a month to arrive. There are a lot of people coming to purchase now.
There are also alcohol and various surgical instruments made of fine steel. We distribute them here to military doctors. I wonder if the prince is interested in buying them? "
After Li Dan finished speaking, he asked Xiao Wan'er to open a wooden box carried on one shoulder. Lu Yunchang was immediately attracted to the various surgical instruments and bottles and jars containing medicines inside.
Li Dan very thoughtfully put a note on it, indicating the name and purpose of the thing.
"This is the standard medicine box provided by our military doctors. If you want to buy it in a package, the total cost is twenty-seven taels of silver. Look how thin this lancet is made. It is made of pure steel!" Li Dan looked at him with greedy eyes. Say it like that.
The envoy to the king unknowingly spent more than seventy taels under Li Dan's temptation, not only buying a microscope and a medicine box, but also four liters of alcohol and a complete set of "Field Rescue Manual" and "Trauma Emergency Treatment Manual" , "Wound Suture" and four or five other books.
At his strong request, Li Dan arranged for Xiao Wan'er to accompany him in a carriage to visit the nursing training school in Gubu.
Unexpectedly, after coming back and getting off the bus, this man started asking about the price of the carriage, and paid more than fifty dollars for two more carriages and horses. Li Dan's contribution was just to let the groom spend two days teaching his entourage how to drive.
However, this is not over yet, Lu Yunchang discovered that there are so many good things here! After buying Fengquan, Yuqingliu, Yuliuchun and other wines one after another, he discovered the glass on the car window and immediately fell in love with this kind of thing.
I also wanted the pencils Li Dan used when I saw him, as well as quills and ink, and even ordered 20 bags of cement.
In short, he finally stopped after spending all the two hundred taels that King Fu asked him to bring. When I left Anren, I turned around and waved goodbye frequently, feeling quite reluctant to leave.
This was the prelude to the grand purchase of Prince Fu. In just three months, the amount of purchases and orders made by the Prince's Mansion from Raonan Business Group had risen sharply to an average of 1,110 taels per month, including cement, glass, etc. , iron bars and agricultural tools accounted for 60%.
Prince Fu ordered that all the glass windows be replaced in the palace buildings where he, his concubine, and the princess lived.
Mianshan Glass Factory specially sent six masters to guide the installation, and took advantage of the situation to open its first glass store in Fuzhou City. Not only was the inventory sold out in the first month, but it also started accepting orders for next spring.
After learning from Lu Yunchang that Li Dan had considerable experience in trauma first aid, Prince Fu could not restrain his curiosity and desire to learn. He actually reported to the emperor and asked to go to Li Dan to learn medical skills for a month.
Zhao Tuo was overjoyed when he received the news and immediately approved: "The king is eager to learn and benevolent to the people, and he wants to serve in the army. I am very pleased." I'm going to Raozhou to train for the regiment. I appreciate this!
With his words, King Fu took three of his followers to work as military doctors in the military medical team established by Li Dangang, with the rank of non-commissioned officer.
On their wedding day, Li Dan received news that the Xinjiang defense line had been breached, Lou Shiming had successfully crossed the river, and the remaining Yintuo troops had retreated to Geyang.
Zhao Jingzi judged that Geyang was being attacked from the north and south and could not be defended, so he sent Tao Shou down the river to pick up more than 700 troops led by Duan Yan and Duan Fang brothers to board the ship, and retreated to Guixi where the enemy had fled. county seat.
At this time, Zhao Chongbi also paid attention to this. He began to realize the threat of the Lou family and his son if they went westward with all their strength. While reporting to Shi Hao, he ordered Zhu Qi's subordinates to go south to Guixi and formally accepted the submission of the Duan brothers in the city.
At the same time, he sent people to Luxi to send a warning message to the siege troops there, asking them to be careful of internal and external attacks by the Lou family's troops.
On New Year's Eve, new news came. Hua Jibao rushed into Geyang to face the attack. The remaining Yin Tuo troops were defeated and Hu Guangen was killed.
Zhao Chongbi was worried that Guixi's troops were weak, so he immediately ordered Li Dan to lead his regiment to practice and defend in coordination with Guixi County. The regiment's training troops immediately dispatched and rushed overnight to arrive outside Guixi City.
Li Dan asked the second and third battalions to camp at Fenlong Temple to lure the enemy, and he led the main force to ambush in Dajialing. Everyone said that the enemy would attack Guixi first. How could they attack such a small village in the northwest corner?
Li Dan said: "That guy in Huajubu is so happy about his victory. He must have underestimated the enemy after winning a battle in Geyang and wanted to get the good fortune of Guixi. Let's lure him outside the city and teach him a lesson!" Everyone was doubtful.
Unexpectedly, at noon, the scouts came to report that Hua Jibshou had indeed arrived, bringing with him more than a thousand troops and horses. Only then did everyone become convinced, and they all said that Mr. Experience had figured out his brother’s temper! So he was gearing up to meet the enemy.
Lou Shifan was surprised to find an enemy village in the direction of Fenlong Temple after hearing the report from the scouting horse. He brought dozens of knights to see him. After watching for a long time, he suddenly sneered and said:
"I saw the strength of the enemy's camp. There were only five hundred soldiers, but there were quite a few flags and tents! It's really a dream to try to scare me with this method!" Then he ordered to attack this small village first.
Some subordinates quickly suggested that there was no need to attack Guixi directly. The defenders here would immediately flee in fear. "That's not right!" Hua Zuibao waved his hand confidently and asked everyone whether attacking this village would cause more casualties or attacking the city. Everyone said that of course it was an attack on the city.
Lou Shifan slapped his thigh, isn't that it? Most of the soldiers here are the group of people who escaped from Geyang, just frightened birds with little fighting power.
If you defeat them, Guixi will probably open the door and surrender. Wouldn't it be great? Everyone heard it right, so let’s do it!
Everyone on Bigfoot Ridge watched silently as Lou Shifan rushed towards Xiaozhai. Li Dan stood up from the ground and dusted off the dirt on his body: "Okay, send someone to deliver the news to Guixi. Let's go down the mountain and kick the flowery arm." Go to your white ass!" Everyone laughed.
Here, Lou Shifan spread out his attack formation, and everyone roared and rushed towards the stockade. Just listen to the beep beep of the horn inside, and the mouths of four or five large blunderbuss are exposed from behind the bamboo fence.
"There is a general with a gun!" Those in front who wanted to stand still or turn around and run back were immediately overwhelmed by the crowd.
Before everyone could understand, the gunshots from the opposite side rang out, and shotgun pellets were scattered in all directions. Each cannon sprayed dozens of pellets weighing one or two, which immediately beat the people in the front rows to pieces.
The people behind were still rushing forward, even stepping on the bleeding body of their accomplice. A bamboo flute sounded, and the musket from the opposite side opened fire again. The fire cannons were fired in three rows in a row, with more than thirty shots in each row.
This was Li Dan's first large-scale and centralized use of firearms, and it was also the first actual combat test after the military factory started full-scale operation and standard parts operation.
The fire cannon and the arrows fired immediately after it curbed the momentum of the opponent's attack and bought time for the artillery to fire again. After the second big cannon shot, Lou Shifan could not stop the retreating men. And at this time, he also heard the thundering sound of horse hooves behind him.
"Team Green, Team Green, we've fallen into the trap!" Everyone shouted and ran around.
The Huajubu saw the cavalry from the horse, and the smoke and dust came out from behind the lake in the north and cut across the retreating team. Then the flag of the Qingshirt team appeared in front, and a wave of troops also poured out of the small village behind them. The team wearing blue cloth.
"You've been fooled, this is not Ge Yang's Yin Tuo subordinates, this is the fucking Qing Shi team!" Someone shouted out everyone's voice in despair, and then the word "run" became the theme in everyone's mouth.
After receiving the news from Li Dan's cavalry messenger, the Duan brothers took the initiative to invite Ying to fight. Zhu Qizhen came with only 200 cavalry, and his headquarters was still on the way. When he heard their request to go to war, he immediately agreed and ordered them to order 500 men to leave the city.
Huajibao rushed left and right, and finally broke through the siege and ran out. Only a few hundred people followed him back to Geyang, and he lost almost all the leaders who followed him.
Hearing about the defeat of Guixi and the appearance of the Qing Shiming team, Lou Shiming immediately judged that continuing to move along the river would inevitably encounter a strong blockage, and if the officers and soldiers went south with all their strength, they might close the door to the encirclement in advance.
"If the green shirt team appears, it means that the official army is already there or not far away." He said to Qianzhong: "It seems that Governor Zhao has been staring at us. Anyway, I will give him a surprise!"
After that, he ordered Wang Shixin, the king of Jiumu, to change his position to the vanguard, and the whole army went to Luxi along the Wenfang, Lengshui, and Gaobu roads, while Lou Shifan changed his position from the vanguard to the rear guard.
"Let's go quickly. As long as we pass Yunling Mountain, there will be nothing they can do!" he said.
"The second general is going back to Fujian? Can't we wait for the commander-in-chief?"
"Everything is decided by the camera, and there is no final plan." Lou Shiming sighed: "Now it is important to be able to be a genius. Like them, they have to carry their property and women with them. How long will it take to dawdle? I can't care about them!"
The next day, the troops that were going to Guixi suddenly turned south at the foot of Wugui Ridge. It was here that Lou Shiming met Wang Xu and his men who came out to look for them, and learned that Du Jing and Lou Shiji were hiding in the nearby Tianyuan Temple.
Lou Shiming immediately sent someone to pick them up. Nearly half of the people who set out from Chaoyang had lost their lives. Everyone was sighing after learning that they were safe.
Zhao Chongbi reacted quickly. While he ordered Zhu Qi's town troops to go south to Guixi to guard the goal axis, he quickly followed up with Jiao Conghu and Cai Shuangwu.
At the same time, Luxi Cai Gangquan was given time and again urging orders, asking him to immediately capture Luxi County and then go north to Wenfang and completely close the gate.
In addition, he also sent people to Nancheng to inform Jianchang Mansion, and contacted the Shaowuna Road officers and soldiers staying at Shangguan, asking them to rush to Luxi no matter what, to help block the flow of the bandits.
However, Lou Shiming moved faster than him! Wenfang fell on the fourth day of the lunar month, Lengshui fell on the sixth day of the lunar month, and Gaobu fell on the 10th day of the lunar month.
At this time, Cai Gangquan was still waiting comfortably outside Luxi to celebrate the Lantern Festival. As a result, the enemy troops suddenly appeared outside the city on the 14th day of the lunar month. The officers and soldiers were caught off guard. Some officers abandoned the stronghold and fled, causing the entire army to be shaken.
Cai Gangquan was defeated and had to retreat fourteen miles to reach Dajue Mountain before he could gain a foothold.
"Bang!" A tea cup was smashed to pieces. Lou Zishi pointed to the south angrily and yelled: "Unfilial son, unfilial son! What are they going to do? Are they going to throw me to the army?"
The team of brothers Lou Shiming and Shifan moved too fast! The main force of the Lou Army had just arrived at Qianshan and Ehu, while the rear of their troops had already left Guixi.
There is obviously a blank space in between. If it is occupied by the army, the main force behind it will be extremely passive. "The vanguard and the marshal are all your good ideas!"
Lou Zishi said angrily: "What should we do now? The army has arrived in Guixi. If Geyang is lost, will we have to turn around and go back to Shangrao?"
"Father calm down, the child thinks..."
Lou Shiyong was about to say something, but was rudely interrupted by Lou Zishi with a wave of his hand: "Shut up! These useless things are far worse than your two brothers! Now that I think about it, they had already thought of running away. I foolishly listened to your suggestion and gave them official titles. What a reward for this world!"
"Lord, calm down, it's not appropriate to scold the eldest son like this in front of everyone!" He Zhang persuaded softly. He saw that Lou Shiyong's face was looking pale and his hands were shaking, so he hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Although the Second and Third Young Masters move too fast, this is a good thing. At least they have attracted the attention of most of the officers and soldiers, and it will be easier for the Lord to move."
After hearing this, Lou Zishi thought about it and his face brightened: "Then what does Mr. Yi say? Our army will continue to advance westward as planned?"
"Lord, if according to the original plan the army was going to Yingtan and then take the official road south, it seems that the army is already waiting in Guixi and this road is blocked, so we have to cross Xiangshan and Yunlin Mountains.
But in this case, I am afraid that many chariots, horses, and women will not be able to carry them. Otherwise, the mountain road will be difficult to travel, and the army will be dragged back. "
It seems that He Zhang did not understand. He wanted to take this opportunity to persuade Lou Zishi to dress lightly and march faster.
But Lou Zi was reluctant to part with these. He finally got the jewelry, goods, and the concubines and beauties. Of course, his subordinates also had many small things and plunder, so they couldn't let them throw them all away, right?
"Well... tomorrow, let's ask the whole army to throw away unnecessary baggage and luggage and speed up!" He said reluctantly.
However, the march speed on the second day was limited, and many local soldiers in Guangxin were unwilling to leave their homeland. Therefore, thousands of people left the army and fled in one day.
He Zhang felt a headache, but there was nothing he could do. Seeing Qiu Keqin and Long Hui frequently exchanging glances, he felt suspicious. Observing Lou Shiyong carefully, he saw that his face was expressionless, as if nothing happened last night. The more this happened, the more He Zhang felt uneasy.
"The Lou family divided their troops into two groups?" In Guixi City, Li Dan was stunned when he heard the reconnaissance report. He looked at Zhao Jingzi, who was also a little confused, and looked at Zhu Qizhen over there, who was also confused. 33
"What are they going to do?" Zhu Qizhen pressed his temples and grinned: "Twenty thousand people in front and thirty thousand people behind. What is this formation?"
The three people were discussing when suddenly Lu Jiu came in and crossed his hands and said: "Sir, Qianhu, a scholar came outside, and he brought a dozen people with him. He said he was an old acquaintance of the master and had arranged to meet."
Zhao Jingzi stood up in confusion: "Isn't it Wu Mao and Hei Mu who are back?" After hearing this, Li Dan immediately jumped up and ran out the door. When he saw that it was not Wu Mao, there was a big black guy behind him who was smiling. It's black wood.
"Haha, you two are back!" Li Dan was very happy.
"We haven't seen each other for several months, but I didn't expect that my lord's position will get bigger and bigger!" Wu Mao smiled and bowed deeply: "I am glad that I have fulfilled my destiny by going to Panyu. My lord, this is Captain Frank, and this little man is on his ship. Yusuf the physician.”
Li Dan looked up and down, stretched out his hand, and asked in French: "Hello, Mr. Frank, can I call you this?"
"Hello from the French Chevalier de Bigang François, who am I talking to? Oh my God, you are speaking in our language. Although some places are not standard, it must be It’s French!”
Frank bowed and then turned around in surprise to look at his equally surprised companions.
"Oh, I understand, distinguished knight Mr. Francois, welcome!" Li Dan stretched out his hand to shake his hand:
"In front of you is Li Dan, a minister of His Majesty the Great Emperor of China, with experience in the Xuanfu Division of Jiangnan West Road, and Li Dan, deputy military commander of Raozhou Prefecture. A simple name, I believe it is easy for you to remember."
"Yes, Your Excellency, I remember it. My companion and I are very happy to be invited by you to come to your place. I hope to confirm the content and conditions of the contract with you, and we will be very happy to cooperate with you in the future."
"These contract terms will be discussed, but it is not a sign of respect to let the guests stand outside the door. Please come in and have a drink and have a good rest. We have plenty of time to communicate about the rest."
After speaking, Li Dan nodded to the others and led them in. Zhu Qizhen asked quietly in his ear: "When did you become able to speak Yi language?"
"I'm born with it." Li Dan looked back with a smile and looked at him with a look of disbelief: "Okay, Mr. Wu taught me. He grew up in Guangzhou and had friendship with the Yi people. This time he was sent to hire some skilled Yi people. If you come here, it will be of great use to my business group!"
Some people died, but not completely...
