Chapter 539 Cruel War

Everything happened in a flash of lightning. The boy who originally stepped forward to stuff the money took out a military thorn from his arms.

The trumpeter pulled out the grenade from the waist of his mandarin jacket and immediately rushed towards the Qing soldiers guarding the city gate. Thick black smoke instantly filled the entire city gate.

The bearer suddenly pulled the handle of the sedan outward, and it turned out to be a long-handled sword. It was slightly smaller than the one owned by Mr. Guan, and the blade was narrower, but it was extremely sharp.

The bearer threw it casually, and the big knife was in the hands of the groom.

The groom violently tore off the hem of his long red coat, revealing the chainmail underneath.

"Drive..." The groom looked like a young master, and his military commander's temperament instantly soared.

The rest of the people also took out their revolvers and rushed forward.

The city gate was quickly taken down.

Just when the action was being taken here, some strong men among the people queuing up behind also started to take action.

The woodcutter carrying firewood pulled out his musket from the firewood.

The man carrying the load opened the wooden boxes at both ends of the pole, and a large number of weapons were instantly scattered.

Some empty-handed pedestrians quickly ran over, picked up the guy and rushed towards the city gate. At this time, the number of people rushing towards the gate reached hundreds, and in the distance there were a large number of strong men in civilian clothes rushing towards us.

Yang Xingguo was riding on a horse and suddenly rushed out of the smoke inside the city gate, like a god of death, which brought a huge visual impact to the Qing troops inside the city gate.

"Death..." Yang Xingguo roared and swung the long knife in his hand with the momentum of his horse, bringing out a bloody flower.

The soldiers behind followed them, some with knives, some with guns, and some with grenades thrown at the dense Qing army in the distance...

Soon the city gate was completely controlled by Yang Xingguo and others.

Of course, the Qing army would not give up easily, and the Qing army on the city began to move downwards to provide support.

Yang Xingguo no longer rushed to kill, but piled a pile of debris inside the city gate, and then blocked the Qing army's counterattack on the spot.

Facing the official road at the south gate of Ganzhou, Lin Wencha and his men were running towards Ganzhou City as fast as possible. They were hiding ten miles away, and it would take at least two quarters of an hour to reach the city gate.

In these two quarters of an hour, Yang Xingguo had to use hundreds of people to block the counterattack of thousands of Qing troops.

Although the Qing troops from Ganzhou City marched south to Shaozhou, there were still thousands of soldiers and horses in the city. This was originally an important military town, and the Manchu and Qing court stationed heavy troops here.

In Guangzhou, Dong Liang visited Guangxiao Temple and Gongyuan in the past two days.

Buddhism is prosperous in Guangzhou, which is the center of Buddhism in the south. At Guangxiao Temple, Dong Liang met with representatives of Buddhism.

As he said before in Yongquan Temple, Dong Liang supported Buddhism in actively going out, and at the same time warned Buddhism to uphold the purpose of persuading people to do good and reduce participation in economic activities.

In fact, it is to stop those Buddhist temples from focusing on making money.

During the Tang Dynasty, the Daci'en Temple in Chang'an was the largest moneylender in Chang'an City. Later, many Buddhist temples participated in land annexation and became big landowners. These things will erode the essence of Buddhist temples and make them black.

Dong Liang actually made these requests to save these temples. Because he felt that the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism was very successful and was conducive to the spread of Chinese culture.

Dong Liang also made use of them in promoting Chinese culture and spreading civilization.

The next trip to Gongyuan was to meet with scholars in Guangzhou.

There are many academies in Guangzhou, led by the Yuexiu Academy founded during the Kangxi period, which has produced many celebrities.

Just like what he did in Fuzhou, Dong Liang talked with these scholars about promoting traditional Chinese culture and the inheritance of Taoism.

He also talked about the universities established by the Chinese. There were very few government-run academies in the Qing Dynasty, and the number of students in official schools was even more limited.

The Chinese founded the University Hall and gave the school so many places to run schools, which fully reflects the importance the Chinese attach to education.

The resistance of these scholars towards the Chinese gradually disappeared at this time.

"Führer, there is a man named Chen Li who wants to see you." Dong Liang had just returned to his headquarters after a day's trip when someone came to see him.

It was already dark at this time, Dong Liang had just had dinner and was preparing to take a walk with Shang Yun.

Shang Yun is also in Guangzhou recently. She is the deputy director of the Medical Department and is responsible for the construction of the local medical system. Xiang Ying stays behind to coordinate the overall situation of the Medical Department and promote the construction of the Chinese medical system.

I heard that Xiang Ying is organizing famous doctors to write books recently, taking out some ancient medical books to demonstrate and make popular annotations, making it easier to learn medicine, and it will be used as a teaching material for medical students.

He is also preparing to compile a set of quick textbooks on traditional Chinese medicine and descriptions of commonly used prescriptions. This is prepared for training barefoot doctors.

Every time the Chinese control a place, they will integrate local medical resources. In fact, those scattered doctors will be included in the jurisdiction of the medical department.

But the number of these doctors is still too small.

So Dong Liang thought of the barefoot doctors in the village when he was a child. These people had only undergone brief training, and as long as they knew the treatment and medication of some common diseases, they could be responsible for the basic medical services of a village.

Of course, there are also some cases where quack doctors harm people. But it has to be said that when medical resources are extremely scarce, many people have no choice but to fight or wait to die after getting a minor illness.

The current situation is to provide people with medical treatment, and the quality of medical care can be gradually improved.

Moreover, the medical department has been developing Chinese patent medicines to make it easier to use existing Chinese medicines. Those barefoot doctors only need to be able to judge the patient's problem based on their symptoms, and then prescribe the corresponding patent medicines according to the instructions of the Chinese patent medicines.

.

The war continued, but the reforms within the Chinese nation never stopped. Dong Liang wanted to build the Chinese government into a government that served the development of the Chinese nation and the lives of the people.

It is not easy to change the feudal rule pattern that has existed for thousands of years. In traditional Chinese culture, the common people are the emperor's lambs, and the government shepherds the emperor's sheep.

Although some people realize that the common people are the water that supports the sailing of the great ship of the dynasty, no one has ever regarded ordinary common people as the masters of this country and nation.

Chen Li was famous and a leading figure in Guangzhou's academic circles, so Dong Liang naturally knew about it.

In fact, he had already met each other in Gongyuan today, but there were too many people at that time, so the two did not have in-depth communication.

Dong Liang didn't know why this person came to see him at night, but this kind of person is the most noble. If you don't see him, he may hate you for the rest of his life.

Dong Liang didn't want anyone to keep talking bad about him behind his back.

"Let him come over." Dong Liang sat down and asked Shang Yun, who happened to be in the room, to help pour a pot of tea.

Shang Yun was somewhat conflicted about the fact that Dong Liang had no maids around him. She felt that given Dong Liang's current status, he should have a group of maids around him, which would be in line with his status.

But she also felt that Dong Liang was more dedicated. No woman would be willing to share her man with others. The reverse was also true, men didn't want their women to be shared with other men.

He himself found Chen Li's information from a pile of materials on the table.

Chen Li, 43 years old, courtesy name Lanfu, nicknamed Dongshu, is a native of Panyu County, Guangzhou Prefecture, Guangdong. His ancestral home is Shaoxing, Zhejiang. He was born in Mupaitou, Guangzhou. He is known as Mr. Dongshu. He is a famous classics master, educator and thinker.

In the twelfth year of Daoguang's reign (AD 1832), he failed in the Six-year Examination. He was successively appointed as the headmaster of Xuehaitang and the headmaster of Jupo Jingshe Mountain.

Nowadays, Guangzhou lectures everywhere and promotes simple learning. It has cultivated many people and formed the "Dongyu School".

Chen Li studied astronomy, geography, music, arithmetic, ancient prose, parallel prose, lyrics, and calligraphy. He wrote more than 120 kinds of books, including "Dongshu Dushu Ji", "Han Confucianism Tongyi", "Sound Rhythm Tongkao", etc.

He was proficient in astronomy, geography, music, arithmetic, and parallel prose. He was a great Confucian from Lingnan. In academic history, he drew on both Han and Song Dynasties, and advocated a new style of study.

Dong Liang had long noticed such a person. He was famous, prestigious, and not old-fashioned. He could be the helmsman of promoting Western-style education among the Chinese.

However, Chen Li did not come to see Dong Liang today just to recommend himself. In fact, after reaching his academic level, he no longer had such a strong interest in becoming an official.
