The old Chinese medicine doctor's medicine was still effective. After everyone left, Prince Adalbert broke out in a sweat and his fever went down. Looking at the sleeping prince, Mark finally felt a little relieved.
However, after breakfast the next day, the prince started to have a fever again. The previous medicine could only temporarily control the condition, but did not inhibit the development of the germs.
Around noon, Kang Ping finally arrived, looking a little tired.
"I'm sorry, Master. I'm really sorry for asking you to come here in person."
"It's okay. It's our duty as doctors to treat illnesses and save people. No more wasting time, let's take a look at the patient quickly!"
Kang Ping put on his mask and followed Dong Shuheng towards Prince Adalbert's room. Several assistants behind him quickly followed with a bunch of equipment.
Entering the room, the old Chinese medicine doctor from yesterday was also there. Kang Ping first diagnosed the patient using traditional Chinese medicine methods.
"Well, it's basically confirmed to be pneumonia. Nianxiu, take a sample for observation." Kang Ping said to the disciple who was setting up a microscope.
"Yes, Master." The man took a little bit of Adalbert's sputum and diluted it with distilled water on a glass slide. Then he put it on a microscope and observed it.
"A large number of Streptococcus pneumoniae was found." Nian Xiu observed for a while and said.
"What is Streptococcus?" the old Chinese medicine doctor on the side asked doubtfully.
"Oh, colleague, Streptococcus is a type of bacteria we discovered that causes pneumonia, which is what we used to call the disease!" Kang Ping explained briefly.
"First do a skin test on the patient and prepare two pieces of allicin." Kang Ping said to another disciple. This person took out a glass syringe from the box. He sucked a little of the medicine and injected it on the prince's arm.
under the skin.
Some people will say, isn’t this Western medicine? Infusion is just a way of administering medicine, who stipulates that it is Western medicine? Sample observation is only a method to explore the source of the disease, who stipulates that this is Western medicine?
Looking at later generations, the advanced and scientific things are all Western medicine, and Chinese medicine has been forcibly labeled as a kind of medicine that relies on empiricism and Chinese herbal medicine. Who is setting a trap for Chinese medicine?
Of course Dong Shuheng taught Kang Ping the methods he used. He had someone buy the microscope from a foreign company. Of course he could make it himself, but polishing the lenses was too time-consuming.
Infusion has been done more than ten years ago. However, the method Dong Shuheng taught Kang Ping used is more scientific. It can be made in both east and west Jiangbei. The most difficult thing is the rubber tube and the fine needle. Now Jiangbei’s rubber
The industry has begun to take shape. It can not only make tires, but also rubber-soled shoes and raincoats. Of course, it is not a big problem to pull a rubber tube for infusion.
Of course, rubber can also make a very important thing. But Dong Shuheng didn't tell his factories. Nonsense, now we want to encourage people to have more children, and Dong Shuheng is also planning to immigrate to the world! As for what this thing is, everyone knows.
Everyone knows about allicin. Before penicillin came out, these plant fungicides could only be used to make do. The most difficult thing was the extraction method. However, under the guidance of Dong Shuheng, after repeated experiments, it was dissolved and rescued by alcohol.
The method was finally refined by people from the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
After the old Chinese medicine doctor saw the "disease evil" displayed under the microscope, he insisted on following Kang Ping back to the medical school. Kang Ping had no choice but to entrust the old man to take care of the prince for a few days and then send him to the medical school in Gaoyou.
After the infusion, Prince Adalbert's condition finally stabilized. Bacteria these days have not evolved much, and their resistance to antibiotics is not that strong.
His Royal Highness has a new understanding of traditional Chinese medicine. He has decided that when he returns to Europe, he must rectify the name of traditional Chinese medicine in newspapers.
At the same time, he decided to cooperate with Dong Shuheng to sell this miraculous drug in Europe. I believe that the European nobles will pay a sky-high price to buy this drug.
Dong Shuheng is naturally very happy. Selling medicines is a hugely profitable industry. He will go back and study how to make allicin capsules. However, he still has to study penicillin as soon as possible. This thing is not difficult, but it requires countless experiments to find a suitable strain.
Things that take time.
Because of Prince Adalbert's illness, Dong Shuheng had wasted a lot of energy in the past two days. Now that the prince's illness is stable, he will be given fluids for a few more days, and then he will ask an old Chinese doctor to help recuperate him, and that's almost it.
"Cun Xun, in the face of the entire Huai Navy system, a notice will be issued and a plenary meeting will be held in Yangzhou in three days." Dong Shuheng held a Huai Navy military and political reorganization plan in his hand and turned it over. Finally, he was ready to expand the army, plus he wanted to
We began to travel south of the Yangtze River, so an all-round adjustment was necessary.
Li Cunxun took the order and left. After the document was drawn up, it would be made into a formal document and sent to various places by the soldiers of the guard company by horse and speed boat.
Just when Dong Shuheng stayed in Shanghai due to Prince Adalbert's health.
Zuo Zongtang and Zeng Guoquan finally met Wei Yuan at Huaihai Academy.
When Zuo Zongtang saw Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan was sitting in his dean's office wearing glasses. This office is located on the top floor of a four-story office building. It has a reinforced concrete structure, a Chinese-style roof, and the exterior walls are painted white.
From a distance, the white walls and black tiles look like an ink painting.
Some people were worried that it would be inconvenient for Wei Yuan to climb stairs every day and asked him to choose a room on the ground floor, but he refused. He insisted that climbing stairs every day would improve his health.
In fact, he likes this location because he can see the entire college from here, and he feels an inexplicable sense of satisfaction when he sees the students busily shuttling between the various teaching buildings.
Many parts of the school are still under construction. When he has nothing to do, he will go to the construction site to take a look and tell the construction team some of his ideas.
It can be said that Wei Yuan completely treats Huaihai Academy as his own child. He hopes that he can grow up better.
Because Zeng Guoquan was still there, Wei Yuan could only chat briefly and politely with the two of them for a while.
Zeng Guoquan came here this time to see how the Huai Navy trains troops, so Wei Yuan asked Ma Zongwu, the Minister of the Armed Forces, to take him to visit the military academy in Xiejia Town. Of course, what could be shown to Zeng Guoquan? Ma Zongwu knew how to do it
grasp.
After sending Zeng Guoquan away, Wei Yuancai said to Zuo Zongtang: "Ji Gao, if you don't stay in Hunan, why did you end up in my territory?"
"You made too much noise, and the people in Hunan were already alerted. Don't you want to start Mr. Lin's big event in advance?"
"Do you think the time is right now?" Wei Yuan did not answer, but asked instead. He knew that this other descendant of Mr. Lin had an excellent strategic vision.
"Of course it's not a good time. The cards in Manqing's hand haven't been played out yet. There are too many variables in launching at this time. I don't have the strength, and I'm still just a staff member. But I don't know how you have accumulated here? Look.
Your previous actions seemed to be quite strong. I came here this time just to know how you did it?"
"What you just said was once told to me by someone."
"Oh, who is so knowledgeable?"
"Ji Gao, you seem to be praising yourself?"
"So what, I, Zuo Jigao, always follow my heart when doing things. I came up with the nickname 'Jin Liang' myself. Please tell me about this person first."
So Wei Yuan told Zuo Zongtang in detail everything he had done since he knew Dong Shuheng, accepted him as his disciple, supported him in fighting the Taiping Army, and what Dong Shuheng had done in the past six months.
…
"Old man Wei, are you sure he is only eighteen years old? What he did was not your instruction?"
"No, don't you know who I am? I'm pretty good at academics, but when it comes to military affairs, I consider myself average, otherwise I wouldn't have been a county magistrate for so many years."
"Then do you think there will be some expert guidance behind him?"
"Probably not. He is basically under my nose every day. I think this child may be a little precocious, but he is very steady and not impatient in everything he does."
"Even my position was promoted by him. I have never found it so easy to get promoted."
"Old man Wei, you don't understand. The current situation is like this. Believe it or not, as a judge, I can become a governor in another four or five years."
"Your cheap apprentice must have seen this and taken advantage of it. Master, master! I suspect that he is deliberately using your daughter to get close to you. Do you believe it or not?"
"Probably not. I'm just a small county magistrate, and my reputation in office is not great. He doesn't need to find me, let alone know the secrets of the Renaissance Society. You don't have to doubt this." Wei Yuan shook his head and said, of course he
You don’t know how famous your reputation will be in future generations.
"Old man Wei, let me meet your apprentice. I'm worried that it may not be a wise move for you to tie the Fuxing Society to his chariot. Do you know the specific strength of your apprentice now?"
"It's true what you said. I haven't been involved in military and political affairs for a long time. Now the whole of Jiangsu and civil affairs are in charge of Zeng Xianfeng. He manages the General Administration and controls the government affairs and taxation of various prefectures and counties in Jiangbei.
.Dong Shuheng is usually responsible for military matters."
"What he is best at is making money and training troops. Now there are two major industrial zones in Jiangbei. One is in Dongtai. I have never been there, but I know that the weapons and equipment of the Huai Navy come from there. The other is the industrial zone in Gaoyou.
, this was done in cooperation with a businessman from Yangzhou. He is very familiar with Western industrial models and technologies. New industrial zones use new equipment, so they make money quickly and even squeeze out foreign goods. In addition,
He also controlled raw silk, the export of silk, and the trade routes to the west and north."
"He trained his troops very quickly. He seemed to have used a drill code compiled by himself. He also had a group of Prussians to help him train his troops. I don't know why he chose the Prussians instead of inviting the British and French people?"
"Now the Huaihai Navy has more than 10,000 regular troops, but there are hundreds of thousands of militiamen. All of these militiamen can use muskets. But you must know that a few months ago, he only had more than 1,000 people. This speed is simply spreading the beans into an army.
.The key combat strength is not weak, I haven’t heard of any casualties in the Huai Navy in several battles.”
"So, I am even more curious about your apprentice. How did he do this?" Zuo Zongtang said unconvinced. He really wanted to see how this young man created miracles in a short period of time.
?
"Oh, Ji Gao, I haven't finished speaking yet. He still has three naval forces in his hands. I still remember that he told me that he has the ability to capture the city of Beijing now, but he is not sure about dealing with the foreigners now. I heard that he has been
Prepare for the navy." Wei Yuan added.
"Hey... I'm not as good as Dong Shuheng. He plays chess with the world in mind, but my vision is still limited to the country." Zuo Zongtang sighed.
