Chapter 484 The Tragic Northern Expedition

Ye Mingchen was very ambitious and wanted to be Xiong Wencan of the Qing Dynasty.

However, the bureaucratic machinery of the Qing Dynasty could no longer adapt to this new era. This was a time of great strife and major changes not seen in three thousand years.

Dong Liang stood on the top of the inner city, looked at the dark clouds rolling in from the east and shook his head.

This is the cloud group on the edge of the typhoon.

What was supposed to come came anyway. The first typhoon in the third year of Xianfeng landed on Dongfan Island, and then continued to move westward without losing its power.

Dong Liang knew the news about the typhoon one day in advance. The news was brought back by the Chinese fast communication ship.

He immediately ordered the army to enter a state of first-level alert, and militiamen from various places would also be organized.

The time was too short, so we could only urgently prepare a batch of typhoon prevention materials, and then move some people living in dilapidated houses to safe places.

The so-called safe place is actually the house of a wealthy local family.

These wealthy households were immediately stunned when they saw armed escort soldiers and a group of ragged Kuhaha standing at the door of their homes.

They have already agreed to the policy of land redemption for the Chinese. Could it be that these people have gone back on their word and want to come and take advantage of the big families?

At this time, officials from the local administrative office took out the documents for emergency requisition of houses. Only then did these people know that it was because of the coming typhoon.

Typhoons occur every year, and people are crushed to death by collapsed houses every year. The government never finds houses to accommodate them in advance.

At this time, everyone had just seen the dark clouds in the distance, and everyone knew that the typhoon was coming. However, the guards had already taken action one step ahead and inspected all the people's houses.

What touched me the most were the poor people living in dilapidated houses.

In the past, the Manchu and Qing government would at most open a few porridge sheds to provide symbolic relief to these people after a major disaster, but now they find them a safe place to live in advance.

And it was still the landlord's compound. In the past, they could only look at it from a distance. When they got closer, they would be driven away by the landlord's thugs, and sometimes they would be chased around by the landlord's vicious dogs.

Now that they were accompanied by armed guards, they were confident enough to live in the landlord's house openly and openly.

There has never been any dynasty where the military stood up for the poor.

I thought it would be good to live in the woodshed, but I didn't expect that the wealthy landlord, who didn't take people seriously, actually vacated the wing room.

The Guards have always said that they are the people's army, but the people in Fujian Province have only been in contact with it for a short time and do not have much experience with it.

I thought they were talking about their strict military discipline and never plundered the people, or maybe they were talking about the ongoing land distribution.

When they moved into the landlord's house, it was not a luxurious building, but it was sheltered from wind and rain and was extremely sturdy.

They finally understood that this Chinese government really loved the people like their own children.

Not only that, those newly established production brigades almost all set up their own typhoon prevention teams under the organization of the team leader, checking whether the nearby rivers are at risk of bursting their banks, checking which households need help, collecting sacks, and loading them.

Put the mud on the shore for later use.

An efficient government can always do its job to the best of its ability.

Dong Liang's plan to go to Dongfan Island was also interrupted.

In this era, even ships cannot withstand typhoons.

All ships must take shelter in the harbor.

Dong Liang didn't have to worry about the foreign fleet launching a counterattack at this time.

However, open-air construction will also be temporarily suspended.

This wave of typhoons will last for three to five days, and we don’t know when the next wave will arrive.

The typhoon season in the Southeast is like this, one wave after another, each one more powerful than the last.

The various branches of the Guards that had just completed their reorganization could only hide in their houses to carry out ideological studies.

"Go back, Ah Liang, if you act like this, others will think you are going to call the wind and rain." Shang Yun didn't know when he came up behind Dong Liang.

This medical woman has been doing free clinics in Fuzhou City these days. She asked people from the medical department to post notices at major medical centers in Fuzhou City, offering free medical treatment to people suffering from serious diseases.

In this era, poor people cannot afford medical treatment, especially serious illnesses that require surgery. Many people can only lie at home and wait to die.

At the beginning, no one could believe this policy launched by the Chinese Medical Department.

They are used to seeing the condescending faces of those doctors. How can these people still believe that there is a living Bodhisattva?

A beggar with a huge sarcoma on his arm was carried into the hospital by several strong men in white clothes. When he came out again, he had changed into another set of clothes, and the sarcoma on his arm had been removed, except for one layer.

Bandages, nothing.

This beggar showed his yellow teeth and told everyone he met a female Bodhisattva.

The female Bodhisattva removed the sarcoma that was bothering him and made him feel relaxed.

Well, soon there were long queues at the door of various medical clinics.

Many patients are carried here by their family members using door panels.

Shang Yun was naturally not alone. He organized all the doctors under the control of the medical department. In fact, the biggest cost of providing free clinics for these people was medicine. The medicines mainly consumed in surgical operations were Chinese "miraculous medicines", which were all produced at home.

, the cost is actually not much.

We can also take this opportunity to examine the abilities of the newly recruited doctors.

However, the most complex surgeries were performed by Shang Yun himself.

She usually wears a white doctor's robe and a mask, revealing a pair of beautiful and smart big eyes.

This gives her beauty a sense of mystery, just like a fairy in people's imagination.

Many people call her the female Bodhisattva, and some say she is the daughter of Mazu.

Later, it was said that she was a princess of the Ryukyu Kingdom who was rescued by the Chinese leader at sea.

The head of state was the reincarnation of a divine dragon, and taught her the art of making flesh and bones of the living dead. He also gave her a magical medicine that allowed her to walk around the world and save lives and heal the wounded.

The two are also planning to get married...

Such myths spread very quickly among the people.

The funny thing is that many people know Dong Liang, the head of state, not from the propaganda of the Chinese government, but through these folk legends.

There is more than one version of this legend, but the logic is consistent with the imagination of ordinary people.

Dong Liang knew that someone had deliberately made this up, and he probably also knew who did it.

The common people lack education, so these myths and stories are easier for them to accept.

Their stabilizing effect on the people is quite obvious in a short period of time.

"Ayun, I am not the dragon of the East China Sea. Otherwise, I will really wave away the typhoon. Our Chinese nation is in a critical period of construction. Ha... now we all have to press the pause button."

"It doesn't matter if you pause for a while, it's just like boiling medicine. It has to settle for a while before the medicine tastes good." Shang Yun gave an analogy that was very suitable for her status.

"Yes, that's fine. It's just a few days' rest." Dong Liang looked at Shang Yun with a smile on his face.

"Comrade Dong Liang, that's right. You are the backbone of the Chinese nation and the head of state for everyone. As long as you are full of confidence in the future, all comrades will fight for it."

"Ayun will also work hard for our goals."

Dong Liang was a little moved. Shang Yun was a good girl and had been doing her best to support her behind the scenes.

Except for her temperament and appearance, everything about her is incompatible with the heroine.

In terms of personality, she is more like a precocious, sensible and considerate farm girl.

"Ayun, you have also joined the association. In the future, I want to set up a women's committee in the revival meeting. You and Yingying are responsible for developing female members. We Chinese advocate equality for everyone. Some things can be done in advance, so that you

It will be easier to work in the future, and I want more women to participate in the labor force."

"Yes, I will, Comrade Führer." Shang Yun had just learned this way of addressing each other and found it very fresh.

"I want to open a nursing school in addition to the medical school to recruit women and train more nursing staff." Shang Yun looked at Dong Liang with big eyes and said.

"This is a good thing. I applaud it with both hands." Dong Liang finally smiled.

Nagyun had already trained a group of female medical staff when he was on Ishigaki Island.
