Chapter 519 Ghost Army
Dong Liang and Xiang Ying came to the stone house where the injured lived.
Lin Yue lay there, frowning.
Those maggots were crawling around in his wounds. It didn't hurt at all, but the itching feeling kept making him feel sick.
"Captain, I heard that some Fusang people came to make trouble? Lin Yue is useless and didn't help at all." Lin Yue said with a look of shame as soon as he saw Dong Liang.
"It's okay, it's just a few Fuso people. You can rest in peace and recuperate. There are still tasks for you next."
"Don't move, let me take a look at your wound." Dong Liang held Lin Yue's shoulder and said.
Xiang Ying followed Dong Liang, also wanting to see if these maggots could really eat carrion.
Dong Liang covered Lin Yue's eyes and took off the gauze covering the wound.
What caught the eye were maggots that had gained a lot of weight. These little things were entangled together. The carrion in the wound had been almost eaten. They could only tangle together and eat the remaining leftovers.
"It's almost done." Dong Liang could already see the red flesh exposed from the wound, which was blood and flesh that was not infected.
"Mr. Dong, this is really amazing. Can Xiang use this technique to save people in the future?"
"Of course, the art of treating diseases and saving lives cannot be kept to ourselves and used by medical officers. However, this can only be used for patients whose inflammation is discovered late and whose wounds have already rotted."
Dong Liang carefully took out the fattened maggots.
Then he rinsed Lin Yue with liquor, which made the man scream in pain.
Then, they were given Xiang Ying's golden sore medicine and bandaged again.
…
He had previously found some moldy citrus on the boat and had already asked Lin Ben to move them to his residence.
Homemade penicillin is well known to those born in the 1960s who studied in Dong Liang’s previous life.
During World War II, every family was encouraged to make penicillin at home.
The only tools required are porcelain jars, cotton, charcoal, and straws can be made using thin bamboo tubes.
Also use some vegetable oil.
The most important thing is to look for Penicillium. The culture medium can be rice soup or sweet potato soup.
Dong Liang can get all these things, the only thing he lacks is time.
If Xiang Ying could pass the test, he wouldn't mind giving this magical skill to Xiang Ying.
…
Because he offended the Fusang people, Dong Liang strengthened the defense around the camp.
The musketeers were immediately organized.
Ah Fu and his musketeers set up several sentries around the camp, and Dong Liang also arranged hidden sentries.
Fortunately, Fuso people's reaction was not that quick.
Dong Liang drove all these Fusang people to death and quickly cleaned up the scene in order to reduce the chance of this matter being exposed.
The night was uneventful, and the next day, the ship's cargo of nails came back.
Lin Ben also burned a lot of charcoal.
Dong Liang took everyone together to build a stove and began to make spears.
In Gongliang City, Chen Deli met Xiang Bang with a prepared gift.
Xiang Bang is very enthusiastic about Chen Deli.
He even agreed to sell supplies to the Chinese workers without hesitation.
When Chen Deli left the city lord's palace, he brought back five large oxcarts of goods.
Of course, this cost a lot of money.
Among them were hammers, saws and other tools Dong Liang urgently needed.
Cotton cloth, sulfur, and fire salt were all purchased.
Chen Deli kept thanking Xiang Bang.
He successfully completed the task assigned by Dong Liang.
"City Lord, do you want to pass the news to the Fuso people now?" his subordinate asked.
"Wait a little longer and give those Qing people some time to prepare."
"City Lord, will those Qing people really go to war with the Fusang people?" his subordinate asked.
"Of course, haven't you seen what they bought today? In fact, even if they don't pay, I am willing to give it to them."
"But City Lord, as far as I know, these people are all Chinese laborers trafficked by foreigners, and there is not a single warrior among them. Can they defeat the three hundred Satsuma warriors on the island?"
Xiang Bang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "If we can't beat them, the Fusang people will kill them all. If we can't beat them, they will kill the Fusang people. What do we lose?"
"If they wipe out the Fuso people, then if Satsuma wants to find someone to take revenge, they will go to the Qing people. If the Satsuma people wipe out them, then the news will spread to the Qing people, and if the Qing people are willing to use force against Satsuma, wouldn't it be a good thing?"
As he spoke, Xiang Bang's face turned solemn, and he let out a long sigh.
"It's been three hundred years. This leech that has been lying on Ryukyu's body sucking blood should be pulled out. If this continues, our Ryukyu Kingdom will become a biography in the history books."
After saying that, Xiang Bang put down the "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" in his hand.
The Han people are really wise. They record their culture and experiences in history books and pass them on from generation to generation.
The dynasties of the Central Plains have changed continuously for thousands of years, but the culture of the Han family has been passed down from generation to generation.
"Let someone send them more food. After all, we can't bear to do this to these Qing people. They are just ordinary people."
"Also, you should think of a way to hold off the Fuso people so that they don't go to Ishigaki Island in the past few days."
"Didn't the second brother say that there is a shortage of medicinal materials? Send all the medicinal materials in our city lord's palace. If there are not enough, go to the young master to ask for some."
Xiang Bang is not hard-hearted after all.
He wanted to use these Chinese workers to drive away the Fusang people.
He knew very well that in the end, these Chinese workers had a narrow escape from death. The Qing people were originally relatively gentle and timid.
They are not natural warriors, and if they were to fight against the brutal Satsuma people, they would most likely fail.
No matter who of the two sides failed, Xiang Bang's goal was achieved.
…
"Go up and do it. The winner will have meat for lunch."
On the beach, Dong Liang was fighting with his spearmen.
The spears are not ready yet, but there are many long bamboo poles.
The five-meter-long bamboo pole was held in the hands of the Chinese worker.
Two phalanxes of a hundred people looked like hedgehogs.
They were about to collide with each other.
These people are coy and reluctant to take action.
Dong Liang was jumping anxiously beside him.
Simulated battle exercises are the best way to quickly form an army.
Finally, under the temptation of meat, the two phalanxes collided.
"Crackling" the sound of the bamboo poles colliding was heard.
Someone was poked by a bamboo pole and made an "ouch" sound.
The soldiers who were in pain began to launch a counterattack against the phalanx on the opposite side.
This kind of training will inevitably cause some people to get bruised and swollen.
Fortunately, Dong Liang had someone tie the front end of the bamboo pole with linen and passivate it.
Otherwise, even bamboo poles may cause casualties.
After a few rounds, the guards discovered the fun of this matter.
Peng Neng and Wang Su also competed, winning two out of three games at first, and later became best three out of five.
In the end, both sides collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.
On the other hand, the training of the Musketeers led by Dong Xingfu was much more boring.
They spent most of their time practicing gun shooting.
Carrying a heavy musket, standing under the sun for half a day, and sometimes having to drop a stone on the front of the musket is really boring.
Dong Liang was short of ammunition and had no way to let the musketeers practice shooting with live ammunition.
After Chen Deli came back, he brought a large amount of supplies. Although the Xiangbang City Lord did not sell them a single weapon, he had other things.
Especially the oxcart of brimstone and fire saltpeter.
What other pieces of cloth and hemp rope are there?
"Captain, are these cloths used to make clothes for everyone?" Chen Deli asked. This much cloth is enough to make a single coat for each person.
"Why are you making clothes? It's not cold here. I have other uses for these cloths. I'll put them in a warehouse with sulfur and saltpeter."
Chen Deli quickly went to unload the truck.
Chapter completed!
