Chapter 286 Vaccinia planting site meeting

In the tent, the new battalion officer Liao Dongzhi looked around these people curiously.

As an officer who had just officially integrated into the South China Army system, naturally not many people knew him, and he was happy to have a leisurely time, standing aside and watching these people socialize and socialize, soliciting all kinds of relationships.

People from the same town, people from the same clan, and classmates (Zheng Shi Tang and Jiang Wu Hall), and those who gathered together to show off their qualifications.Words like "I am the first batch of soldiers recruited and trained by the lord" resounded in these crowds from time to time.

Shortly after Chen Tianhua formally entered Guangzhou City and set up a Xingyuan in the name of Li Shouhan, Liao Dongzhi's troops were declared by Chen Tianhua as a brave man in a letter written by the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Xiong Wencan, to belong to the Southern Central Army. Please do not misunderstand.

For such an official document, Governor Xiong naturally approved it.It was also helpless, besides the flower boats on the water of the Pearl River, there were naval gunboats of the South China Army, and on several hills, the South China Army also set up cannon positions.The high-sounding statement is to strengthen the defense of Guangzhou City and prevent bandits from attacking the city. However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that these measures are probably more used to put pressure on the official circles in Guangdong and Guangxi.

So, naturally, there was a clever one with a quick mind, who ran to the Xingyuan Yamen to hand in the manuscript and report on the work, and asked the South China Army to quickly go to his one-acre three-point land to wipe out the bandits, so as to return the common people to a peaceful world.

Regarding these, Governor Xiong doesn't want to care about it, and he doesn't bother to care about it. In fact, all he has to do is to make more money before leaving office, make more money.As long as you give me enough money.You slowly said that you went to Li Shouhan Xingyuan, who was appointed to suppress bandits in Guangdong and Guangxi, but he would not care if you went to Zheng Zhilong's camp in Xiamen or even Huang Taiji's Dazheng Palace in Shenyang.

Ever since, after Liao Dongzhi received a document with a huge customs seal on it, he became a part of the South China Army's bandit suppression force in Guangdong.

In addition to replacing the entire set of Nanzhong Army-style armor, swords and guns, the entire army also publicly displayed the banner of the Nanzhong Army, which made the dozens of disordered armed forces around them suddenly terrified.

However, some people were very envious and came to inquire about how to become a member of the South China Army.

Among these people.Occupying the border between Fujian and Guangdong.Wu Liuqi, who controlled more than a dozen counties, was the most enthusiastic one.

However, when Wu Liuqi's confidant found the Liao Dongzhi army camp with Wu Liuqi's autographed letters and gifts, he was very annoyed to learn from the left behind staff that Liao Dongzhi and Master Liao had already led two-thirds of his brothers to go to sea. Go to Nanzhong to accept the review and reorganization.The troops should also be re-equipped with weapons such as guns and artillery.It will be a period of training in Nanzhong.

"It needs to be equipped with cannons. It needs to be given firecrackers. This South China Army really regards Liao Dongzhi as its own direct descendant!?" In his lair, Wu Liuqi heard the report from his confidant.He couldn't help but fell down on the tiger skin chair and thought for a while.

Those who have cannons and firecrackers must be the authentic Nanzhong Army. This is already a common understanding of all armed forces in Guangdong and Guangxi. Now that Liao Dongzhi's entire army has been dispatched to Nanzhong, it is only natural to receive these equipment and matching training. among things.

Therefore, Liao Dongzhi, who carried the signature four-foot firewood chopping knife on his back, became an outlier at the vaccinia planting conference.

"Boom!" A muffled trumpet sounded, changing the atmosphere inside and outside the tent.

"My lord is out!"

All people have such an impression in their hearts.

Sure enough, there was a sound of drums and music, and dozens of soldiers held flags with various official titles in their hands, such as "General Dragon and Tiger", "Designed to supervise the affairs of the Guangdong and Guangxi suppression", "Governor of Nanzhong and various military, horse, money and food affairs" , "The guard of honor in robes and uniforms bestowed by the imperial court", holding various honor guards, flags, guns and other things that Chongzhen rewarded the guards, appeared majestically in front of everyone.

"See your lord!"

Seeing Shou Han wearing a four-clawed python robe and a golden crown on his head appearing on the high platform, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians present saluted like a mountain roar and a tsunami, scaring the unprepared Shopkeeper Huang. one jump.The orderly shouts of tens of thousands of people were undoubtedly from the heart, and the crowd kneeling down like waves was a scene he had never seen in many years of walking and doing business.The mainland of Ming Dynasty has never seen it.In Liaodong, the scale seen is nothing compared to today's. Moreover, most of the people are out of fear of violent killings by force and authority. violence worship.

Shou Han is holding a child in each hand, they are a pair of little brothers and sisters or siblings among his children. The two children are each dressed in brocade robes, and they are a pair of jade carved by their mother Yan Meier. Similar to dolls.

Behind Shou Han, several older sons and daughters appeared on the high platform one by one.Finally, Huayu and Huamei are the two oldest children.

When Li Huamei, who was dressed in the uniform of the naval academy cadets, appeared on the high platform with a heroic appearance, cheers and applause burst out from the crowd involuntarily.

It came from the queue of students in the lecture hall, and next to the students in the lecture hall, there were also bursts of cheers and cheers in the queue of the naval training fleet.

They were all cheering for Li Huamei.

In their minds, this woman wearing the uniform of the Jiangwutang Naval Academy is not only the jewel in the palm of the lord, but also their companion and fellow robe.

"No shame! It's an insult to gentleness! Let my daughter come out to show her face and be with vulgar warriors. I really don't know the etiquette and righteousness!"

In the cheers, there are also discordant notes.

The sharp eyes of several strong and strong men exchanged in mid-air, knowing each other, they stepped forward a few steps, and came to the few virtuous men who kept pointing and criticizing the various bad policies of the South China Army.

Because of disgust, or fear of causing trouble, the surrounding people consciously kept a certain distance from these people, forming a small open space around these people invisibly.

Several men came to these scholars and saluted respectfully.

"Gentlemen, it's polite here."

I saw someone salute to me.The group of people who thought highly of themselves immediately found the feeling they had been looking forward to for a long time. Although they were ecstatic in their hearts, they tried their best to put on a look of high-spirited and troubled momentum, "What's the matter?"

"Our boss has long admired the great talents of several gentlemen, and plans to invite the gentlemen to come over and talk about it, and maybe we will hire the gentlemen to give advice."

Seeing that several companions had quietly gathered around the rotten scholars in front of him, the tone of the man who spoke was not so respectful.

"Du! Who is your bullshit boss! How dare you be so presumptuous! Treat people who study like this?!"

A few rotten scholars were still there posing as scholars, intending to overwhelm each other with a righteous aura, forcing the other party to have a psychological inferiority complex and then collapse.However.Mistake.

"If a scholar can be so presumptuous. Then I am a scholar, I can read and write, and I can write letters and keep accounts. I don't think anyone is so polite to me!"

"That's right! Who hasn't studied?! I'm still the first batch of students to enter the school! I can be regarded as the master's disciple! Don't I still have to do what I should do to make a living?!"

The crowd had long ridiculed these poor, corrupt and dissatisfied people.

Several men stepped forward and waited on the group of scholars whose faces were trembling with anger, but who didn't know what to say. "Several people. Come with us! It will be to your benefit!"

This little episode in the crowd.There were no waves among the crowd of tens of thousands of people, and the vast majority of people still turned their attention to Li Shouhan's family on the high platform.

Unlike Li Muhua's family background, Yan Meier's background is not high.But it is the irreplaceable role of mistress that everyone takes for granted.Although she doesn't care about specific political affairs, she has only organized and led a group of high-ranking officials' female relatives to save lives, seek medical treatment and deliver medicines as a wife for many years, participate in relief for refugees and victims, care for women and children, condolences to whales, widows, lonely and sick, and often go to the fields, factory workshops, She has a great reputation among the common people, especially women and children, and is known as a loving mother.

Because she doesn't care about specific political affairs, she only cares about charity and health, which is why Yan Meier is so kind to everyone.As the saying goes, as an official and a government, you always do more and make more mistakes, do less and make fewer mistakes, and there is nothing wrong with not doing.

Even those rotten scholars just now, when they heard about Yan Meier's deeds and reputation, they had to praise "Yes" loudly, saying that this woman is sympathetic to the common people, and loves the weak and the weak. As soon as she moved, she coincidentally cooperated with a sage woman from ancient times. The name of loving mother is really worthy of the name. At most, she scolded in private that this woman would really invite people to buy her husband's heart, act in collusion and so on.

But on the bright side, they absolutely dare not openly say disrespectful words to Yan Meier and the medical and health charity she is in charge of, otherwise, they will really become the target of public criticism.

In various cities, villages, towns and forts of Nanzhong, in the homes of countless people, next to the tablets of heaven, earth, monarchs, teachers, and ancestors, there are portraits of Li Shouhan and Yan Meier.

In the minds of the soldiers and civilians, the general is a fairy-like figure, with a long-standing prestige in Nanzhong, like a pillar of the sky, and he promises everything he says.However, the high prestige makes people afraid to get close.And Yanmei'er is gentle and generous, just like the image of the elder sister-in-law in everyone's minds, everyone hopes to talk to her, and make a difference.

And her so-called humble background resonated with many people. With such a background, she is really a virtuous woman who can assist her husband in such a career.And a gentle, virtuous, kind and kind woman is naturally more likely to make people feel close than a high-ranking and awe-inspiring woman.

The second grade ordered the lady to order the wife to dress up formally, and the golden crown on her head gave her a faint air of grace. Although she just followed her husband and led a group of children to the entrance of the stage, the soldiers and civilians in the audience cheered continuously.

Seeing the roar of cheers like a tsunami in the audience, Shou Han was also very helpful. The results of 20 years of life and gathering lessons have already appeared.

He slightly pressed his hands down, and immediately the flag bearers who were on duty on both sides of the platform waved the flag in their hands. Immediately, with the shaking of the flag, the crowd who had been cheering like thunder just now immediately became quiet .

"The general used the Ministry of Military Law to restrain the people, and tens of thousands of people listened to orders, including the old and the weak, women and children. This discipline alone is not as good as that of the officers and soldiers in the mainland!" Shopkeeper Huang looked on indifferently among the crowd, and couldn't help but There was a burst of admiration.

"All the folks and elders, colleagues and colleagues. Masters, please!"

Standing at the entrance of the stage, Shou Han bowed in circles to those outside the group, and a group of family members and children behind him also saluted the civilians, soldiers and civilians in the audience.Immediately there was another burst of cheers and responses, and some older people hurriedly kowtowed back to Li Shouhan on the stage.

"Everyone here today is invited by Shou Han to watch the planting of cowpox. Everyone knows that smallpox is raging and kills countless lives! Shou Han is not talented, but he still has to fight this disease! Seek a way out for the millions of soldiers and civilians in Nanzhong! Today, everyone will testify that if the children of this official are planted with vaccinia, nothing will happen within a few days. The children of the family members of the officials, principals, and others will be fine after being planted. You can go to the nearby health center and apply for planting vaccinia with your household registration booklet!"

"However, I'm going to put the ugly words up front. If your children are inoculated with cowpox, there are too many children in the family. You can't eat enough. Don't blame me!"

With some joking words, the atmosphere in the venue immediately became much more relaxed.Everyone burst into laughter, "It's just that there are more debt collectors in the family. It's just more consumption of daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, clothes and bedding! The big deal is that I have to work overtime in the factory, do a few more jobs, and earn some overtime money!"

"That's right! The woman in my family has been clamoring for a long time to go to the textile factory to be the weaving girl. What's the big deal, send some boys and girls to the school, and I'll let the woman go to work in the textile factory!"

In whispers, the stage had already begun to plant vaccinia for Li Huamei, Li Huayu, Li Huawu, Li Huabao and others.

The doctors used a shiny silver-handled knife to cut a shallow cut on the left arms of several young masters and ladies, dipped a little of the acne paste with a cotton swab, and applied it to the wound.Hua Yu also deliberately went to the front of the stage to let the guards present take a look, and ordered him to announce loudly to everyone in the audience.

"The eldest son has been inoculated with cowpox!"

In a blink of an eye, a group of sons and daughters of Shou Han had been vaccinated, followed by a group of female relatives and maidservants in the mansion, many of whom came from Tianzhu, Siam and other places.

"You guys are young and have sharp eyes. Let me watch carefully. Be sure to see every step and every movement of this acne process clearly and remember it firmly."

Shopkeeper Huang gave instructions to the young men around him in Xiaoyi's native dialect.

"Then select a few people who have been inoculated with smallpox, and take a closer look to see if it is what General Li said. Let's put it bluntly, after planting the pox, you will not be infected with smallpox, that is, [-]% of the population will not be infected. , This is also a matter of countless merits and virtues of living people!"

Having said that, but shopkeeper Huang was thinking quickly, if such a method can prevent those born with acne from taking their lives from smallpox, if his own business has this skill, then in the future In Liaodong and on the Mongolian grasslands, isn't it treated as a guest of honor everywhere?Those Mongolian princes who have never had acne, Manchuria Baylor, how could they be stingy with money and money in front of their wealth and life?

Like any regime established by an ethnic minority, one of the most troublesome things for the Qing Dynasty was that the population base was too small, and the human resources available for war consumption were too thin.Therefore, the high-level Manchu Qing leaders headed by Huang Taiji have been implementing a policy, which is to continuously expand the population.To the north, the Saurons who plundered Heilongjiang and other places served as dead soldiers for consumption.To the west, they formed various alliances with the Mongols, either incorporated into the Mongolian Eight Banners, or became the Outer Domain of Mongolia, in order to expand the outreach of their own army.To the south, in the continuous looting of entry and exit, in addition to plundering a large amount of food, gold, silver, cloth, salt, ironware and other materials, a large number of young and middle-aged people and women were also among the targets of plunder.

If the smallpox, which kills a large number of Mongols and Manchus every year, can be contained, how much benefit the vaccination technique can bring in front of Huang Taiji and the Manchu and Mongolian nobles, Huang Da shopkeeper dare not think about it.

While thinking wildly, Li Shouhan's family on the stage had left at some point, and another group of family members and children of officials and generals came up from the mat shed.According to the rules just now, each family self-reports the official title of the parent, the battalion or department they belong to, and every time this time comes, there will be a burst of applause and cheers from the audience, which is often the sound that these officials and generals should The sound from the management department or subordinates.

Seeing the officers and superiors with their families and children appearing on the cowpox planting stage to support the Lord, these subordinates naturally did not hesitate to applaud and cheer for themselves.

Amidst the thunderous applause and cheers of this subordinate and his subordinates, the battalion officers of each battalion, the Chengzheng and Chengxuan of each division and place, the general office, deputy general office, and seat office of each company and firm were proud of themselves. Yangyang took his family and children to complete this great act that marked his status.

"It's not just any cat or dog who can be vaccinated with the lord on this occasion!" Many people had this thought in their hearts.

And the people in the audience also had a lot of thoughts, "Wait, if it turns out that as the brochure says, most people react a little uncomfortable within ten days, and after ten days they will be fine, then we will come Go to the nearby health center and vaccinate the wives and children!"

The entire vaccination site meeting was pushed from one stage to another amid waves of cheers.It was rumored before that if you get cowpox, you will become a bull demon, grow horns, and make a cow noise, which is self-defeating amidst the cheers again and again.

"Becoming a bull demon? The lives of the lord's children are more valuable than anyone else's. The lives of our chief (boss) and their wives and children are also more valuable than our children's. They are not afraid, but we are afraid of a bird?!" (To be continued. .)

ps: I'm sorry, tomb-sweeping day, to accompany the elderly and children, delayed the update.The friend who said that this book is a eunuch, your conclusion is a bit too early.

Also, the discussion about the strength of the pig's feet seems a bit cold, doesn't it? !
