Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

C2450 Consent to wounded soldiers

Today, Zai Chun wasn't wearing a dragon robe, but was dressed in a solemn black suit with a black hat.

Before he entered the sickroom, the British doctor had already given each of the injured Qing Kingdom guards and the British Military Police a shot of morphine to refresh their minds. Therefore, when Zai Chun entered the sickroom, he took a look at all the injured people who were still in good spirits.

"Thank you for your courage. Is the wound painful?"

"What's your name?" In that army? "Thank you for fighting bravely against the assassin!"

Zai Chun walked past the sickbeds one by one, greeting the British military police. These people never thought that the Chinese emperor would come visit them personally, they were all so excited that hot tears filled their eyes.

This is the emperor ah, the emperor personally came to visit me and even shook my hand, such a glorious matter is enough to blow for the rest of my life.

Zai Chun greeted each and every injured person with a few words before passionately shaking hands. Behind him was a group of reporters pressing on the shutter door with kacha kacha sounds.

Today, Duke of Newcastle was accompanying the little Emperor. Outside the army camp, there were more than five hundred fully armed Royal Guards protecting the Tongzhi Emperor.

"Reward!" Every time he patiently consoled the wounded, Tongzhi would confidently say a word of praise. Man Shun, on the other hand, was already prepared for this.

"My God! What is this? "Gold, huh?!"

Gold ingots were not just any ordinary items on the market. They were refined by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and were usually used as gifts to be used as prizes and money for the princes and princesses to celebrate their birthdays during the new year.

The casting was extremely exquisite, the purity of the gold was also very high, it was not a currency in circulation, it was a typical collection. The bottom of the gold ingot had the name of a smithing master, as well as the time used to forge it.

The Duke of Newcastle on the side was a knowledgeable person, such a gold ingot had the mark of a imperial family of the Qing Empire, if it was placed in the market, it could be sold for a high price of five to six thousand pounds.

The combined income of ordinary military police was only around four to five hundred pounds a year. Having received such a large reward all at once, the wounded soldiers were at a loss as to what to do.

"Take it. No matter what reward you give me, it can't express our gratitude. It also can't represent your loyalty and bravery. This is what you have won!"

"Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty!" The British military police were all excited by the fact that they had enough treasures to pass on to their families.

After seeing all the British injuries, only then were the guards and eunuchs of the Emperor Tongzhi. They were all the emperor's own servants, so there was no need for them to do anything that would not appear on the surface.

Tongzhi nodded his head, and Xiao Sixi ran over to pass down the emperor's orders, "I am very relieved, all of you subjects do your best to protect the face of my Great Qing, we will naturally not treat you unfairly!"

"Those who die in battle will receive a rank increase of one rank, their ranks will be raised by three ranks, and their number of silver will be raised by ten thousand. Their families will then choose their descendants to inherit their titles and ranks …"

"All wounded will be promoted by one rank, six thousand gold, and one yellow vest! "After returning to our country, we will prioritize joining the army and leading the troops …"

The and the yellow vest were all useless things. The priority was to lead the troops and that was the reward for them. Several guards' eyes were already turning blue; with the help of this trip, they could earn some qualifications in the new army. Their future prospects were limitless.

At that time, even Nine and Hu Xiaoxin wanted to get up and kowtow in gratitude, but when Zai Chun wanted to act, he would not let them kowtow really.

"You are all here to protect me from my injuries, so there is no need to be so courteous! "In the future, work hard and I will naturally share wealth and wealth with you!"

After walking past the sickbeds of the guards, Zai Chun arrived in front of the most noble of the injured, Sir Gordon.

Seeing that Zai Chun had walked to his side, he struggled to sit up. Zai Chun hurriedly walked forward and held him down: "Don't move, don't ever touch a wound. Be careful, be careful …"

"Long live …" Gordon's eyes became so hot that he almost cried.

Zai Chun felt mixed emotions as he looked at Gordon. If it wasn't for Gordon blocking that blade for him at the most crucial moment, then his own life would really have been lost somewhere.

Actually, it was not only the assassins who had forgotten about Gordon, this unexpected variable, even Zai Chun himself did not expect that Gordon would actually jump out and use his life to fend off the blade.

Although Gordon had fought in the Great Qing before, and although he could be considered a big shot in the Qing Empire's military officials system, but all the officials in the empire, including the royalty did not truly trust him.

is after all, an Englishman, and Tongzhi previously saw him as a Mercenaries.

During the time they were in London, Gordon and Gordon seemed to have a close relationship, but it was just a mutual utilization. Gordon was the lobbyist sent by the British Government, and Zai Chun had only used Gordon to bargain with the British Government.

But this assassination had changed the relationship between Zai Chun and Gordon. At this moment of life and death, no one expected that Gordon would actually rush forward and use his life to block the blade for Tongzhi.

After the assassination, when Gordon's injuries were completely healed, his good friend in London had asked him before they drank together. Why did he rush out to defend Tongzhi at that time? Are you really not afraid of death?

Gordon thought for a long time, and then used the power of alcohol to speak a sentence of truth, "To be honest, in that split-second when people are on the brink of death, they don't even have time to think about it too much!"

"At that time, my brain was also muddled. When I rushed up, I really didn't think of him as the emperor of the Great Qing, nor did I consider that there would be any advantages or disadvantages in doing so!"

"At that time … I knew he was a thirteen-year-old, and his life was in danger, and then... Then, I subconsciously charged forward! "

This was the truth. Gordon had told him the truth, but he had never thought that his subconscious actions this time would bring about such a huge change in his fate.

Zai Chun and Gordon remained silent for a good three minutes. In the end, Tongzhi spoke out, "My General, what sort of reward do you want?"

At the moment, the morphine on Gordon's body was almost gone, the wound on his back was bleeding profusely, he endured the pain and forced himself to speak.

"Your Majesty, if you could give me a choice … I hope to be able to get a blood transfusion technique, and I hope to allow more wounded to be treated! "

"In Chinese terms, isn't this a great thing to do good? I hope that the king will grant us his blessing! "
