Dominate the Country

"Is it Chen... the Commander-in-Chief who ordered us to be rescued?" A bearded Qing military attache asked in surprise while sitting in a wheelchair. His legs were wrapped in white gauze, and the wound was still bleeding, dark red. The blood had seeped out from under the gauze wrapping.

"Otherwise? Do you think these medicinal materials come from all over the world?" A medical nurse from a medical camp pushed a wheelchair towards the ward area behind the operating room. The person in front of me, whose legs were injured by shrapnel and bullets respectively, will be the person in ward 073 from now on.

"Why?"

The prisoners on the battlefield and those who were seriously injured were all killed on the spot. When the bearded man saw the Fuhan Army soldiers rushing towards him with bayonets drawn, he closed his eyes and waited for death. As a result, he was rescued by the Fuhan Army.

"His Highness said that since you fought in the national war in Myanmar, you should be treated with special leniency."

"Hehehe..." the military attache laughed, "National war? Burma? Haven't your Fuhan Army always refused to recognize that the Qing Dynasty is your country? Why talk about national war?"

"Of course we, the Fuhan Army, do not recognize the Manchu and Qing Tatars as our country, but foreigners do." The doctor replied casually, and then looked at the officer with surprised eyes, "You can't tell, you are such a big and rough guy. You look like Han, but you also know that we don’t recognize the Qing Dynasty?”

"We have been in Hunan for only half a year, and we have heard a lot about what you did to restore the Han Dynasty."

"There is the subjugation of the country, and there is the subjugation of the world. How do you distinguish between the subjugation of the country and the subjugation of the world? Xi said: Yi changed his surname and called it subjugation of the country. Humanity and righteousness are full, but as for leading animals to eat people, and people will eat each other, it is called subjugation of the world. ... Zhibao The world will then know that those who protect the country must have their rulers and ministers, and those who eat meat must seek to protect the country. How can a common man be responsible for protecting the country?"

The military attache in front of him recited the "Zhengshi" section of Volume 13 of Gu Yanwu's "Rizhilu" verbatim. "I'm a little thicker, and I'm a knife-handler, but that doesn't mean I can't read or read."

"Hey, I have read it, you must have read it. Our team's instructor once said this, but I didn't memorize it." The doctor was not annoyed either. He continued: "But, our Highness said, we Chinese have a too narrow understanding of the world. This world refers to the thick soil under the sky, and it should be summarized as all the places we know. We only Think of 'the world' as China."

"The Japanese, North Korea, Annan, Burma, Siam, and the Rakshasa Kingdom in the north, the red-haired devils who came across the ocean..." The doctor and nurse recited the 'foreign countries' they knew to the military attache, feeling that Chen Ming You are right. Although these countries are 'foreign' places, the sky above everyone's heads is the same sky!

The military attache opened his mouth. He wanted to refute, because those countries were all externalized barbarians, but he also felt that this explanation from the world was right. Because when they entered Myanmar from Yunnan, the sky was not the same!

"We, the army who restored the Han Dynasty, called the world China." The military attache thought for a moment and realized that the 'world' everyone was talking about could indeed be called 'China', or generally referred to the Central Plains.

"We don't recognize the Qing Dynasty, naturally because we are Han people."

"The teacher gave us an analogy. For example, in this world, 'China' is a big business. In the two weeks of Xia and Shang, Qin, Han, Jin, Sui, Tang, and Song, the people who were in charge were all surnamed Han, and those foreigners were all the people in the shop. The guys, the coolies outside, each generation in each dynasty are called the first, second, third, and fourth, and they rise and fall in turn, but no matter how many houses they are, these people all have the same surname and the same ancestor."

"What's the saying? Even if the meat rots in the pot, it's not lost, right? It's all Han Chinese."

"The fate of heaven circulates, the emperor loses his virtue, and the ancestral temple naturally collapses. But this 'world' still belongs to the Han people, and this world is really built by the Han people bit by bit over thousands of years."

"You have read books, and our teachers said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, some countries were occupied by foreigners. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Xiongnu and Xianbei, as well as the Shanyue in the south, and some territories in Jiangxi and Hunan at that time, were all barbarians. But not during the Song and Ming Dynasties. Are they all from the Han family? Those descendants of the barbarians are probably the former chieftains, right?"

"The Five Husbands invaded the Central Plains and the Jin soldiers went south. This is because the owners of the Jin Dynasty and the Song Dynasty were incompetent. The scale and foundation of the company was greatly reduced in their hands, allowing a group of outsiders to take away the benefits. The Mongolian Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty and took over the Central Plains, which is why the company The shares completely changed hands. The former proprietor became an enslaved boy. Until Emperor Zhu Ming, Taizu Gao, revitalized the family business and regained the business name. Then the Manchu Qing Dynasty took over the Central Plains again... "

"Many Han people say that the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are better. So do you think that the Manchu and Qing Tatars are really different from those in the Mongol and Yuan Dynasties? In the Mongol and Yuan Dynasties, the first class was Mongolian, the second class was Semu, and the third and fourth class were Han people. "

"Is it different now? It's just not so straightforward. The first class is the Manchu Eight Banners, the second class is the Mongolian Eight Banners, the third class is the Han Eight Banners, and finally the fourth class is the Han people. And shaving your hair makes it easier to dress..." Medical nurse Pulling the military attaché's braids, "Tell me, if you have pig tail braids, how can you have the dignity to meet your ancestors after you die?" the doctor said with a mocking tone. The officer's face tensed up for a moment, but when he looked at the Fuhan Army soldiers holding guns and armor not far away, he lost his temper again.

"During the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, Mongolia and Semu competed with the Han people who had forgotten their ancestors to compete for Jinshi. Now the Eight Banners no longer compete for Jinshi. The Tatars rely on Jinshi to win over those bitches who have forgotten their ancestors. But are there fewer Tatars serving as officials? There are more ways for them to become officials. Aren’t all the ministers and ministers in the six departments now full of Han?”

"There are also those millions of Eight Banners who have hard-core crops to eat since they were born. This food is all our blood and sweat."

"Foreigners have robbed our ancestors of their foundation and made us work like cows and horses to feed their slaves. Of course, we don't recognize this country as ours." The doctor said confidently.

"But there is not only China in the world, and there is not only China as a business. Foreign businesses see the sign of "China" and regard the Qing Dynasty of the Tartars as China."

"That's why our prince said that the battle you fought in Myanmar can be linked to the "country". Although you were defeated, you have made no contributions but also worked hard, and you can't erase them all. So I ordered to treat your wounded with all your strength, and those who died were buried in pits."

The doctor's words were not rigorous. Even the shaving of hair and changing clothes, which was the most unacceptable to the Han people in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, was downplayed. The changes of dynasties in history were also described as child's play without depth. There are too many loopholes in the doctor's words. The military officer was not thinking about how to refute, but what the doctor said. All the things he knew were told by the teacher to the doctor, and it was obvious that the doctor, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, listened to it. Naturally, the teacher would say better, more reasonable, and more complete than the doctor.

Regardless of what the teacher's real words of "treason" would be, the metaphor of "big business" told by the doctor was really vivid and concise.

——If the business of one's ancestors was taken away by someone, even if the sign of the business remained unchanged, the business would not be one's own business. This is simple and clear, right?

But in the eyes of outsiders, this business still has some of its previous appearance. Because the signboard of the business has not changed, it is still the original signboard, although some of the rules inside have changed. But to outsiders, this business seems to be the original business.

If this business becomes stronger..., the feeling is really complicated; if the business becomes weaker, it will hate the thieves even more!

So Chen Ni said that he and others "have no merit but hard work"! Perhaps, if he and others win the battle in Burma, the treatment they suffer today will be better, right?

"Here is this. Painkillers!" The medical staff poured a glass of water and gave the military attaché a light yellow pill as big as the tip of a little finger, "Take this pill if it hurts badly." The military attaché's forehead was covered with sweat.

The medical staff knew that this pill had a very good effect on pain relief. It was used on the wounded soldiers of the Fu Han Army before, and the effect was quite good, but the dosage seemed to be too small, and each person was only allowed to take three tablets. The superiors were really good to these Tartar prisoners of war in front of them, and each person was given two tablets a day, and a large bottle was opened, with a full 100 tablets. There are five beds in a ward tent, which is the amount for ten days!

The medical staff also heard that this thing was extracted from opium, and they didn't know who came up with this method. Anyway, it's quite precious, and opium is not cheap.

The military attaché was the second person admitted to Ward 073. The first person was more seriously injured and is still in a coma. He fainted on the operating table. If he can't wake up tomorrow, his life will be in danger.

...

The operating table with a strong smell of blood was splashed with a basin of clean water, and blood and clean water flowed down, splashing a wave of bright red blood on the ground. The apprentice in the green robe continued to wash the ground with clean water, or took a clean rag and holding boiling hot water, and wiped the operating table for the second time. Finally, the operating table had to be cleaned with strong liquor!

On the other side, the next Qing soldier waiting to go to the operating table had been pushed into the room.

The military doctor Sun Jizhou, who was sitting on a chair nearby, was drinking tea calmly. This was his rare rest time. Last night, the Qing army attacked the camp and killed too many people. Those who died were not mentioned. As for the injured and seriously injured, they were usually treated on the spot. However, His Highness issued an order to treat them as much as possible. This was really the first time in history! They were so busy in the medical camp!

They had been busy since dawn until now, and it was almost noon.

As for the series of cleaning after this operation, Sun Jizhou didn't know what the purpose of doing this was. Anyway, it was arranged by the top, so he just followed orders. Just like when he was captured by the Fu Han Army and joined the team, his brain went blank when he heard the words "open the belly" and "suture the belly". When he saw the same operating table as the butcher's case at first, he vomited on the spot. Isn't it common now? He has also become one of the few surgical military doctors who can operate alone. This habit can really become natural.

The assistant at the side was reading the injury report of the next patient to Sun Jizhou. He was seriously injured by the shrapnel bomb from the side. There were shrapnel wounds on his left arm, left leg and left rib.

"Good luck, if these two shrapnel hit the neck or head, this would be a dead person..."

The patient was carried to the operating table, and Sun Jizhou also changed into a clean robe. He touched the patient's neck with his fingers and found that he was still breathing. Then he looked at his wounds and immediately sighed that the patient was lucky.

Bandages as wide as a palm tied the patient tightly to the operating table. On the tray on the side, there were white gauze, the best wound medicine, hemostatic powder, small bottles of strong liquor, and a row of neat and bright scissors, cutting knives, scoops, clamps, tweezers, fine needles, and catgut...

In addition to the pot of boiling hot water made on the stove above, with iron saws and axes soaked in the water, there were also four palm-sized irons in the fire!

These are all the tools for Fu Han Army's surgery. It can be said that they are very, very crude, and it can be predicted that their actions are very, very rough. But it is not easy for Fu Han Army, which started from the "medical skills" of ancient Chinese military doctors, to develop to this step. In a year or two, countless people died on the operating table. Most of these people were wounded soldiers of the Qing army, but there were also Fu Han Army soldiers who died of pain, and there were also Fu Han Army soldiers who died of excessive bleeding.

Chen Ming also lit up the skill of blood transfusion, but it is obvious that its development is more tortuous and difficult.

Under the guidance of Chen Ming, a "prophet" who knows nothing about medical skills, the surgical operations of Fu Han Army have finally made some progress under the accumulation of human lives. For simple gunshot wounds, Fu Han Army has accumulated some experience.

Even in a coma, Zhao Hui couldn't help twitching in the severe pain. Sun Jizhou was like a chef arranging a piece of pork. His knife swished, and pieces of rotten meat were cut off. All the shrapnel was taken out. There were six pieces of different sizes. The most serious wound was on his left arm. The shrapnel was too deep. Even if he could survive intact and recover from the injury, his left arm would be worse than before. But these prerequisites are that he can survive!

Watching the assistants and apprentices busy applying medicine and bandaging the Qing soldiers, Sun Jizhou moved his body that had been stiff for a quarter of an hour. His shift was about to end...

The Fu Han Army Medical Battalion was busy with the Qing army's wounded soldiers for three days. During this period, six large graves were found in the north of Changsha City and the west bank of the Xiangjiang River, and the bodies of the Qing army were buried in them.

The frightened Changsha Qing army no longer dared to covet Chen Ming's main camp. At the same time, the morale of the Qing army camp on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River also plummeted. When Zhao Hui woke up from his coma, he could no longer hear the sound of gunfire. It was already the end of September, the weather was getting colder, and winter was getting closer...

"Give me another painkiller..."

The severe pain made Zhao Hui ask the nurse who took care of him for the first time, but unfortunately, his request was not granted.

"That stuff is expensive, you've already finished it, just wait!" The medical staff in tent 073 was still a teenager of 16 or 17 years old. After all, the current social atmosphere in China does not recruit female nurses at all. There were also girl soldiers in the medical camp, but these girls were assigned to take care of the wounded soldiers of the Fu Han Army.

The medical staff also had the painkillers in their hands. The superiors had ordered that each person could take up to two tablets a day, but who took one and who took two, wasn't it still the medical staff who had the final say?

He looked at Zhao Hui with contempt in his eyes. Did this guy still think he was the boss?

Two people had been carried out of this tent in the past few days, and the superiors had not blamed him. The medical staff had already divided the wounded Qing soldiers and the wounded soldiers of the Fu Han Army into two categories. The wounded soldiers of the Qing army in front of them are "worthless"!

Zhao Hui has been awake for two days without saying a word. He only spoke when the food was served and drank when the water was handed to him. He didn't even say thank you. It's strange that the medical staff are impatient with him. Painkillers are good things. These people are screaming in pain, and they can bear it immediately after taking one tablet. It's a waste to give such a good thing to such people.

Zhao Hui's face changed, and he seemed to be angry, but he restrained himself rationally. He is from Guiyang, Guizhou. His three generations above are all Manchu Green Camp, but the Zhao family has never produced any high-ranking officials. His grandfather's highest position is only a small fifth-rank garrison.

Zhao Hui is 31 years old this year and is already a sixth-rank Qianzong. The whole Zhao family has high hopes for him, hoping that he will be promoted to Dusi and Lieutenant General one day, and improve the Zhao family's reputation.

Zhao Hui was transferred from Guizhou to the army when Mingrui was mobilizing troops to conquer Myanmar. The army won first and then lost in Myanmar, and it was a catastrophic defeat. Not to mention the 4,000 to 5,000 casualties, the commander Mingrui, the generals Guanyinbao and Zhurune, the generals Wang Yuzhu, Hu Dayou, Hu Bangyou and others were killed one after another. Zhao Hui made some small contributions in the war, and finally broke through to Wanding with the large army. For him, it was a great joy to be able to come back intact, and the official position was still the sixth rank.

This time he was transferred to Hunan, and the opponent was the number one rebel in the world in recent years-the Fu Han Army. Before the war, Zhao Hui's news about the Fu Han Army was hearsay and speculation. The impression was not as good as his envy of the wealth of Hunan, which was much richer than Guizhou.

On the first night of the war, Zhao Hui confessed. When following Baishan to attack the Fu Han Army camp, Zhao Hui was seriously injured by a shrapnel bomb and passed out. When he woke up, he found himself lying in Chen Ni's sick camp, surrounded by Qing army prisoners like him...

"Brother, bear with it. People are under the eaves, don't try to stand out..."

The voice of the bearded man came to Zhao Hui's ears. According to his observation in the past two days, the bearded man had the best relationship with Chen Ni's medical staff in the entire sick tent. Now the medical staff is gone.

"Brother Zhao Hui, from Guiyang, Zhenyuan Town, Guizhou, the captain of the left camp of Qingjiang Association."

"Brother Wang Xiongchu, from Kunming, the commander of the Linyuan Town, Yunnan."

The two spoke official language and explained their origins to each other. Although their identities were high and low, they were both wanderers in the world. There were two more wounded soldiers in ward 073 who were in a state of coma and awakeness, and they were now in a coma. The one who was left on the outermost side had just been pushed away by the medical staff for dressing change.

"Lord Wang, do you know the battle situation...how is it progressing?" Zhao Hui had been holding this sentence in for two days.

"After that night's battle, the government troops never attacked again. The main force of the Fu Han Army broke through the Jiangxi camp on the other side of the river, and also set up cannons on the other side to bombard the east bank. Several iron chains blocking the river were all broken. The main force of the Fu Han Army, together with the navy warships, have passed Changsha and headed south."

Zhao Hui's face was full of bitterness. He had woken up for two days and didn't hear the sound of gunfire. Either the Fu Han Army had taken Changsha, or their main force had gone down the river. "Fortunately, Changsha was not lost." At least Changsha was not lost.

"Why did these rebels think of treating us?" Zhao Hui knew the injuries on his body. Such injuries would be solved directly on the battlefield. Even taking them in was too troublesome!

"Isn't it because General Chen treated us well because we fought the "national war"..." Wang Xiongchu said to Zhao Hui in an unspeakable tone, learning the words of medical care.

"That is to say, because Burma sees the Qing as 'China', our fight against Burma is on the verge of 'national war', and then there is a little bit of hard work?"

"This Chen Ni is really clear about the distinction." Zhao Hui's face was full of pain. The Fu Han Army's view made him feel humiliated directly. Because they didn't think about this at all when they fought Burma. At that time, they looked down on Burma, and their body and mind were completely a sense of superiority of the **** heavenly soldiers teaching the disobedient little barbarians a lesson, and they were defeated in the end. So now he is 'enjoying' the benefits of that battle and feels particularly painful.

In the words of the medical care, a modern concept of 'country' emerged faintly, which is one of the concepts that Chen Ming wants to instill in the team. The medical care himself may have understood a little, but he didn't recognize this point very clearly, so he didn't say it very clearly. Neither Wang Xiongchu nor Zhao Hui clearly realized the difference between the concept of 'country' and the 'court' they were accustomed to.

The words of the medical care only made them look at the distinction between Chinese and barbarians from a very novel perspective - for example, This analogy is of low quality, but it seems to be clearer, simpler and easier to understand.

"Haven't you heard that if China is a barbarian, then it is a barbarian; if a barbarian is China, then it is China." Zhao Hui, who has also read books, sneered. Although Emperor Yongzheng's "Records of Awakening to Delusion" was banned after Emperor Qianlong came to power, some of the touching sentences have spread all over the world, and this sentence of Emperor Yongzheng's self-"understanding" has also become what Han Yu said.

Yong Lao Si still has some face, unlike those historical inventors in the 21st century, who directly said: Confucius said! Damn, it made Chen Ming think that sentence was really said by Confucius in his previous life.

Wang Xiongchu shook his head and sighed. Of course, he also said this, "Do you know what the medical staff said?" He said to Zhao Hui with a bitter face.

"Outsiders have seized your ancestral business. Your ancestors were engaged in the cloth business. Now this business is also engaged in the cloth business, and the business is doing well. This business is also yours?" Wang Xiongchu was speechless at the time.

"Vulgar, vulgar." Zhao Hui was stunned at first, then his face turned red, and he pounded the bed with his right arm. "How can the national affairs and the safety of the world be compared to a business? Chen Ni, Chen Ni..." But for a moment he didn't know what to say.
