Chapter Ninety-Four: The M.D. of Edinburgh

Berding and Schubert are old men in the era of Bojia and have the same heart as Bojia. He was eager for this opportunity to penetrate into the Qing army, believing that it would be an excellent opportunity to expand the influence of the United States in China.

Because soldiers need spiritual comfort, they must have faith, and China's native religion is so contemptible in their eyes. In the eyes of the two physicians and missionaries, this was a godsend for the American church to infiltrate the Qing army.

And the military of any country will have its own voice in the direction of its own politics.

John Ja agreed to their request.

So, the ambitious Burding Stanford and Schubert Duke boarded the ship bound for Hanzhong.

At the Hankou port, the greeting of the 200 horse team made the two secretly happy. As Liu Xian expected, Berding and Schubert felt his attention.

But in front of the Xiaogan barracks, when Berding and Schubert looked at the soldiers in front of them who were neatly lined up, with a straight line horizontally and vertically, and their heads held high, their hearts chuckled.

How, how could it be?

Aren't the Qing army's all a bunch of big smokers? The face is yellow and thin, can't you stand up straight?

What's going on with this army in front of you?

The victory of the Second ** War, especially the Second ** War not long ago, conquered Beijing, and completely lost all the face and dignity of China, the old empire.

No Westerner looks at China anymore, and China, along with its soldiers, has become so small in the eyes of Westerners.

"If all the armies of China are like the one we see, then no matter how backward their weapons are, it is impossible for Beijing and Guangzhou to be captured by the coalition forces.

May God bless, China has only such an army. ”

After a grand welcome, Berdeen and Schubert were welcomed into their quarters in the barracks. A one-piece partition wooden house, Berding, Schubert, Su Daoming, Liang Xiaochu, each of the four people.

In Berding's room, Schubert said to Berding with emotion.

"Yes. This General Liu's team is like a Western army. If not for the dress and weapons. ”

"They're more like soldiers than Wall's guns!"

Berdin's voice was filled with emotion. He was imagining Wall's splendour. How good it would be if Wall didn't die, and the United States would be able to maintain its status in China even if it fought badly at home.

But Wall died. also left Bai Qiwen, an unreasonable stunned person!

There was silence in the house.

"Burning, stop thinking about Wall. Let's look forward. Halfway, Schubert's voice rang out.

"This General Liu will definitely have a brighter development. We are to help him and become one with him. ”

Schubert said firmly. He knew very well how important it would be for China to have a strong army in war. He didn't want Liu Xian to be as strong as the current Hunan army, but he could always become the second in the Huai army or the Chu army.

Yes, he just 'looked up' at Liu Xian like this. Because in Schubert's eyes, Liu Xian's army was stronger than the Huai army in Jiangsu and the Chu army in Zhejiang. And most importantly, Liu Xian is young enough.

That night, Liu Xian had a big banquet in the army, but the filial piety county he ordered people to invite did not arrive. The reason is unknown to ask.

Four years ago, in the second ** war, Beijing fell, the Old Summer Palace was destroyed, and the emperor escaped from Rehe and finally died of illness outside Beijing, which was the most unforgettable shame in the eyes of countless Manchu officials.

However, the foreigners are powerful, and they dare not provoke them.

Then, if they can't be provoked, they will hide completely.

The Manchu officials whose dreams of the Celestial Empire were shattered, and now the vast majority of foreigners are like filial piety. Don't you get rid of it!

Besides. Liu Xian hired two foreigners as his own military doctors, which also made the Manchu officials who continued to hold themselves in their hearts the excellent Chinese civilization disdain and despised.

Full house. No matter what the true attitude of Qi Dalin and others towards foreigners is, Liu Xian's meaning is their highest meaning. If Liu Xian wants to celebrate, then the army must celebrate.

Besides, as early as the moment he received a reply to this matter, Liu Xian had already made people slowly instill in the soldiers what Western medicine was and what benefits Western medicine had.

Everyone knows that the miraculous suture of sheep intestines in the treatment of battlefield trauma is a necessary medical procedure in Western medicine and surgery, and the resistance in the army has fallen rapidly.

When Liu Xian began to take shape in his team, he began to set up his own medical battalion and train his own military doctors. However, the place in Hanzhong is too small, and the profession of doctor is relatively popular, and there are few poor people who can't open the pot, and few people who petition to stay away from their hometowns, so the development is not very strong after more than a year of hardship.

People who have cultivated themselves can only be a hygienist. Know how to wrap wounds and know how to handle wounds simply, such as disinfection and suturing. Don't think about the rest.

As for surgery, it's still big guys with axes, hacksaws, machetes, etc., which are completely amputated. In terms of finesse, Liu Xian's most anticipated surgery and physical dissection have not developed at all.

He himself really knew too little about this aspect, and he was afraid that it would be frightening to point it out, that is, he would sacrifice Hua Tuo's name and legend, and the bastards in the medical camp would not develop in the direction that Liu Xian expected at all.

So you should know how much Liu Xian expects from brilliant doctors like Berdin and Schubert who can do surgery. Their knowledge and their arrival have played a milestone role in promoting the development of the medical level of Liu Xian's troops.

At the banquet, Berdin and Schubert fell down unexpectedly under the deliberate care of everyone.

Liu Xian met Su Daoming and Liang Xiaochu after the banquet. I learned more about the situation of Western medicine in Guangzhou, and paid attention to understanding the development of Western medicine in China.

Liu Xian didn't hold out much hope. He felt that in the 1860s, there was no soil for the development of Western medicine in China. The two Chinese who accompanied Berding and Schubert were Su Daoming and Liang Xiaochu, who had already surprised him.

It turned out that he caught a big fish.

"Lord Liu, it is true that Chinese people have just started in the study of Western medicine, but they are not really talented. For example, I am Mr. Huang Kuan from Guangzhou.

Mr. Huang went to the United States to study with Mr. Rong Hongrong from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. Later, he went to the University of Edinburgh to study medicine, and after seven years of hard study, he obtained a doctorate from the University of Edinburgh......"

Su Daoming explained to the stunned Liu Xian what a university is, what is the status of the University of Edinburgh's medical department in the West, and what a doctor represents, but he is afraid that Liu Xian will not understand and disagree with Huang Kuan. But how did he know that Liu Xian knew everything, he was stunned not because he didn't understand what a university or a doctor was, but because he understood, he was shocked by the achievements of Huang Kuan, a compatriot.

As for Huang Kuan's return to China, he served in the army for the second ** war, and he also got the five-grade top of the imperial court, so he was no longer so shocked as before.
