June of the second year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, July 2, 1876 in the Western calendar.

In the port of Newcastle, England, eight fully manned warships fluttered the three-cornered dragon flag high, and behind three transport ships with a minimum of more than 5,000 tons, thick smoke rose, and the steam engine was running at full strength, accumulating power.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, with a cannon salute and a high whistle, the fleet left the harbor and sailed deep into the English Channel, under the watchful eyes of Guo Songtao, China's first envoy to a foreign country.

"We are cultivating an opponent for ourselves in the East!" On the dockside, a naval colonel said. Next to him stood a young man of moderate build, neatly dressed in summer and wearing a high top hat on his head. "The parliament doesn't care about that. Every warship means money, and shipbuilders do not agree to refuse foreign warships. In recent years, the trade between the Qin army and Britain has grown rapidly, and the British Empire's share of the Qin army's overall foreign trade has changed from a negligible to equal with the United States and Germany. No one can refuse money!

As for cultivating naval talents for the Qin army, this was approved by the vast majority of the Admiralty.

The Britons, who stood at the top of the world, looked at the far East with contempt. Their large fleet is enough to make them disdain for the development of Chinese naval power. The Royal Navy of the British Empire did not believe that China's navy would ever become their opponent one day. Therefore, to train naval officers for the Qin army, they only thought that they were cultivating pro-British factions within the Chinese navy.

The tide is irreversible. The relationship between the British Empire and the Qin army in the next few years had already set the tone when Wittoma's attitude towards the Lanfang incident was recognized by London.

Randolph, 27, sighed, as the third son of the 7th Duke of Marborough. He was just a small lord who had just entered the House of Commons two years ago. Now because his brother has just kidnapped the Crown Prince's mistress, he himself has a complete falling out with the Prince of Wales. It was a falling out that almost rose to the level of a duel, and the Prince of Wales threatened that whoever went to Randolph would not be his friend. Randolph was no longer able to gain a foothold in London.

His friends left him one after another. Randolph came out to relax, and then saw this scene in Newcastle Harbour. The colonel officer next to him didn't even know what his last name was!

Oh yes. Randolph, whose surname is Churchill, just married the daughter of a wealthy American businessman two years ago, and last year he was left with a son named Winston. Churchill!

Medical School of Berlin, Germany.

A professor in his fifties and sixties pressed his hands on the podium and looked around the classroom behind dozens of students. There seemed to be no absence, and he spoke: "Gentlemen. Just 30 years ago, only internal medicine physicians needed to go to universities for systematic study, and surgeons did not have to do this. Of course, both before and now. The status of the surgeon is also far less important than that of the physician......"

"But!"

Suddenly aggravating his tone, the professor said excitedly: "This situation has changed fundamentally in the past twenty years, that is, the emergence of anesthetics and surgical disinfection technology has made surgery have a relatively rapid development in the past twenty years!" …………”

"As we all know, surgical diseases are mainly divided into injury, infection and tumor, as opposed to medical diseases that are treated with drugs. In addition to a series of common knowledge such as anatomy, physiology, and pathology, today's surgeons also need to learn pharmacology, bacteriology, parasitology, and other emerging disciplines. As well as hot topics such as sterility and anesthesia, of course, cutting-edge knowledge such as blood transfusion is indispensable......"

……

Leman woke up from his memory, and the sound of the ship's whistle brought him back to his senses. The expression on his face was very lonely. The scene of the first class at the University of Berlin is still clearly visible, and now I am about to return to China. With more than 20 students who have already graduated, they took a steamer through the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean, and then waited for the arrival of the fleet in Alexandria. His party will return to the motherland on a Chinese warship......

Twenty-one-year-old Leemann still has the sentimentality of a teenager, as he is about to leave Germany. He thought of his professors, his classmates, and the house of Mr. Auron, where he had lived in the first place. I thought about the scenes of my years in Germany.

During his time in Germany, he also taught himself English, with some knowledge of French. After graduating from university, I would like to travel to various European countries to see the level of medical development in European countries. But a telegram from the East kept his plan on paper forever, and he didn't know that he would never have the opportunity to return to Germany in the future.

……

Tainan Prefecture.

At the gate of the state capital's prison, Lu Boping from Qinghe Town, Chiayi County, walked out of the cell with his sleeves folded, and his eyes were pierced with tears by the sun at noon. He was arrested and imprisoned because he made trouble in front of the governor's yamen a while ago, and Liu Xian didn't even charge him with a crime, and was directly imprisoned for three months. Even he was supposed to be locked up for a year, but the family sold some land to make money to 'atone for his sins', and he was released after only three months.

The moment he walked out of the gate, Lu Boping swore that he would never twist and arrive with the governor's yamen again, and those who had been in prison once would never think of entering the palace for the second time. Those cell bosses are so useless. If the family is rich and powerful, they can be treated preferentially, and even the hall is arranged earlier, and those who are willing to spend money are released lightly. Lu Boping's family is also a local tyrant in Chiayi, but it is nothing in Fucheng. It was a lot slower to get through the relationship, and he was locked up for three months. But compared to the poor scholars who have to spend a year in prison, this is already a great luck.

Adapted to the harsh light and spent several months in prison. Lu Boping, who had lost a lot of weight, took a breath and smiled bitterly at the third brother Lu Xianping, who came to pick him up: "Third brother, I really don't blame others this time, it's me who is dizzy and confused, and I actually fight with the governor." Who is our governor? How could the characters killed in the sea of corpses and blood be restrained by a group of our scholars. ”

Lu Boping sighed as he spoke, why didn't he think of this in the first place? There are not a few hundred and ten scholars, and they can still beat the governor who has tens of thousands of male soldiers in his hands?

His own ability is to show talent. If you go to Borneo, it's good to be a mayor. Even if you want to learn some things from foreigners, then you can just learn them. What's the problem? Borneo has been externalized for a long time, and the situation is not as good as that at home, and if you don't learn some foreigners' things, you may really not be able to play at that time. The governor yamen has explained one by one, why didn't he wake up? You have to be obsessed! Now, the family's land has been sold for 20%, and he has been disqualified.

As a native of Taiwan, the governor takes care of Taiwan's fathers, he doesn't need to take exams, he has a reputation for showing talent, he only needs to read the three books of elementary mathematics, politics, and laws to become an official, and he should be content to have a town mayor. Now, it's all ruined. If you want to be an official, you have to be like the poor people in Fujian and Guangdong, you must pass the exam before you can go to Borneo.

"Third child, after you go back, you and my brother will read those books carefully, and when the next time the governor takes the exam, let's go to participate together."

Lu Boping's heart as an official was blazing hot, and it was not extinguished at all because of this blow.

In the past year or so, a large number of Lingnan people have been sent to Borneo, which is the size of two Guangdong provinces, the land is fertile, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the number of villages and towns in the territory of Lanfang has increased by more than 100 in more than a year. In addition, a large number of Lan Fangling's original lower-level leaders were dismissed, and Lan Fangling's 'official government' system was directly lowered to the village-level government, and a large number of knowledgeable people continued to fill these middle and low-level official positions. Of course, it is not enough to rely on the Chinese in Lanfang's territory.

Lan Fangling, who has gained a firm foothold in Borneo for hundreds of years, is quite rich in wealth, but it is very poor in culture and education. The literacy rate of 200,000 Chinese is less than 2 percent, so the reason why Luo Fangbo was able to gather the general trend in a short period of time was that his own teaching and educating people and showing off his talent played a great role. Nearly 10 out of 10 people who go to the South Seas from China are destitute. There are a few literate hyphenated ones.

The problem was reflected by Liang Luyi to Liu Xian, so there was a scene of Liu Xian recruiting 'officials'.

In line with the idea of solving the problem nearby and winning over the locals in Taiwan, he first recruited scholars in Taiwan, and then extracted three books of elementary mathematics, politics and laws from a series of textbooks of the Qin army's civil and official system.

But who would have thought that a piece of kindness would be exchanged for a donkey's liver and lungs. Liu Xian's kindness provoked protests from hundreds of Taiwanese scholars. Although there are only two people here, there are only fourteen in Xiu, and the rest are all students. But Liu Xian also felt that his face was hot.

It's a slap in the face!

In anger, he didn't have patience at all, and he didn't order the secret military intelligence department to do it. Instead, when the 100 and 10 people had gathered in front of the governor's yamen, they directly dispatched their personal guards, beat them all down, and put them all in prison.

Fortunately, this incident was indeed caused by a group of scholars who were 'angry' with Western learning. There is no one behind the scenes.

Lu Boping still has confidence in himself, and when he failed the second imperial examination, he had already begun to take over the family's business. Of course, it is inevitable to settle accounts and read the account books, and he has also taken care of the things of the farmland, and he is very confident in reading through the three books and taking the test for a town mayor.

Although the mayor of the outer land cannot be compared with the mainland at all, or even compared with Taiwan. But he is an official anyway, he Lu Boping has been studying poetry and books for more than ten years, not just for an official hat. The things that can be obtained with a light light are pushed away by himself, Lu Boping thinks about it, and feels that he is not unjustly sitting in prison. This lesson must be firmly remembered!

Governor's Yamen.

"My lord, rumors have been spread in Beijing: it is said that you recruit scribes, raise your henchmen overseas, and have a heart of disobedience! Zuodu Yushi Quanqing is ready to impeach ......," Fan Debang said to Liu Xian with a top-secret telegram. (To be continued) R640
