After the Thor returned from Urup Island, Markarius and Ferapontov caused a great sensation in Beihai Town.
For the refugees in Beihai Town who came from the northeastern region of the island country, they had never seen Westerners! Even Tang Xiao and the others hid in the crowd and watched secretly after hearing the news.
It has been some time since dozens of girls came to Beihai Town, and they began to gradually adapt to the living habits here. Under the deliberate guidance and control of Zhao Xin and others, Beihai Town does not have the feudal patriarchal rules of the Qing Dynasty; whether they are men or women
Everyone will go out to work. After all, we were still hungry people half a year or even a year ago.
The residents' initial curiosity, envy and jealousy towards Tang Xiao and others gradually turned into respect; because these young teachers are responsible for teaching their children to read and read.
In order to walk more easily, Tang Xiao and the others also took off their pointy embroidered shoes and put on small-sized labor protection shoes "for oil fields". Some girls who were very courageous saw that none of the island women in Beihai Town had their feet bound, so they
He secretly put his feet down. After Liu Siting discovered this situation, she brought a large bag of cotton to the girls and asked them to stuff the cotton into their shoes.
After the two Orthodox priests were baptized by the modern facilities on the Thor, they were already stunned when they saw everything in Beihai Town after getting off the ship. Zhao Xin asked Chen Qingsong to arrange a separate residence for the two of them, with several security policemen
Responsible for guarding and monitoring.
What Markarius and Ferapontov didn't know was that surveillance equipment would be installed in the room that Zhao Xin had arranged for them so that every move they made in the room would be closely watched.
Since Ferapontov's Chinese proficiency is very poor, he will be sent to school to learn Mandarin with the children. After he can communicate fluently, Zhao Liang will take over and be transferred to the workshop.
After being held in solitary confinement for two days, Macarius was brought to the square in the center of the town by Zhao Xin. He saw a very familiar cross at a glance. So he happily said to Zhao Xin: "Your Excellency, why didn't you tell me earlier? It turns out that
There’s a church here too!”
Zhao Xin was stunned when he was told that he was not alone, and he thought to himself: Where did the church come from?
But he soon realized that the other party had mistaken the red cross on the hospital's exterior wall for the church's cross.
On the other side, after getting excited, Macarius also muttered, why should the cross here be painted red? He recalled it carefully and found that no sect seemed to paint the cross red.
Historically, the Red Cross representing rescue was not born until 1863, so the Red Cross can only be seen in Beihai Town in the world.
Hong Tao and Liu Siting, wearing brand new white coats with stethoscopes hanging around their necks, walked out of the hospital with a group of female nurses.
Macarius' head was spinning. Why is there only one priest here? The rest are all nuns? And what is this thing hanging around the necks of this priest and nun?
Zhao Xin smiled and introduced to Macarius: "Father Ma, these are Dr. Hong and Dr. Liu, the heads of the medical and health system in Beihai Town. These ladies are all nurses in the hospital. As for this red cross,
What we here represent is saving lives and healing the wounded, and it has no religious significance."
Only then did Macarius realize that the people opposite were not priests and nuns at all. But he was a little confused about what Zhao Xin was talking about. As a church doctor, he meant "medical treatment", "doctor", "hospital" and so on.
He understood the word, but what did "hygiene" mean? And what did "nurse" mean?
(The word "hygiene" existed in ancient Chinese culture, but its meaning has nothing to do with the meaning of modern hygiene. As for the "Jing of Hygiene" mentioned in "Zhuangzi", it refers to health preservation. The modern Chinese word "hygiene" actually
It is the "health administration" originating from the island country.
As for the word "nurse", in history, it had to wait until more than a hundred years later, when Zhong Maofang from Tianjin Beiyang Women's Medical Hall proposed to officially translate the word "Nurse" into "nurse" and it was unanimously approved.
The method was officially used.)
Macarius hesitated for a moment and asked Zhao Xin: "Excuse me, your Excellency, what is 'hygiene'? What does this have to do with medical care?"
Zhao Xin shrugged and said, "Let Dr. Hong and others answer this question for you. Father Ma, I still have things to deal with. See you later."
After saying that, he winked at A Miao who was standing behind Liu Siting, turned around and left.
Looking at Zhao Xin's hurried away figure, Macarius helplessly said to Hong Tao and Liu Siting: "This Lord Zhao always comes and goes in a hurry."
"Lord?" Hong Tao and Liu Siting looked at each other and dared to give Zhao Xin another title.
"Father Ma, is that what I call you? You speak Mandarin very well. My name is Hong Tao. Please come with me and we'll chat while we walk. We have many people coming here to see us every day. You can stay aside first."
Look, if you have any questions, wait until the patient leaves."
Macarius nodded and followed Hong Tao and Liu Siting into the hospital with a sullen expression; behind him, a security policeman from Beihai Town never left.
Before entering the hospital, Father Macarius had always thought that in such a remote seaside town in the Far East, what kind of modern medicine could there be? However, his doubts disappeared as soon as he opened the two doors of the hospital.
without a trace.
Use your imagination. What kind of style is XX hospital in another time and space? What is the central hospital in Beihai Town like? In order to build this hospital, Zhao Xin spent a lot of money to make a set of construction and decoration drawings of XX hospital; Chen Qingsong
At the request of Hong Tao and Liu Siting, the decoration was carried out in accordance with the requirements on the drawings as much as possible.
The entire hospital is planned to cover an area of 30,000 square meters. In the first phase, more than 8,000 square meters were built, including a two-story reinforced concrete building and six large wood-carved rooms. The current daily outpatient volume is 50 to 80 people, and the number of inpatient beds is
50 photos.
If the construction is completed according to the planned area, a residential area to the west of the square will have to be relocated entirely.
The current departments on the first floor include a guard room, two outpatient rooms, a rescue room, intravenous injection, blood drawing room, warehouse, nurse station, and several vacant rooms. The second floor is dedicated to VIP private rooms and VIP rooms for modern people to see doctors.
Wards, as well as ultrasound,
It is the operating room. The energy supply for the entire hospital is currently provided by two 1-MW diesel silent generators, which are used in rotation.
In order to provide patients with a comfortable and warm environment and relieve negative emotions, at Hong Tao's strong request, a large number of energy-saving lighting sources were used in the hospital.
Smelling the strong smell of disinfectant in the air, looking at the bright corridors and rooms in front of him, the blue and white walls, and the spotless floors, Father Macarius was completely stunned! He didn't even dare to step forward.
This is a hospital?!
Imagine the most "advanced" hospital in Europe in the eighteenth century.
As the population surges, especially in rapidly developing cities and industrial towns, many hospitals have gained a reputation for being infested with vermin, filthy, and with high mortality rates. These hospitals are also known as "passages to death."
Someone once described the Palais-Dieu Hospital in Paris. “This is the largest hospital in Europe, with the most rooms, the richest, and the most terrifying. There is a mixed bag of patients, sometimes three or four.
Or 6 people are crammed into a hospital bed, with the dead and dying lying next to the living. The smell of the patients' bodies makes the air dirty, and disease-causing microorganisms are transmitted from one person to another... the pain and misery in the world
The scene is vivid in my mind.”
Macarius himself came into contact with medicine while studying in a monastery. The monastery hospitals in Tsarist Russia in the 18th century were not used to treat patients, but to care for homeless elderly and disabled people, including lepers and syphilis patients.
Even though he later studied under a famous doctor from England, considering the situation of Western medicine in the eighteenth century, Father Ma's level of medical knowledge can be imagined.
For example, a famous British doctor once performed an autopsy on a patient who died of puerperal fever and removed the pelvic organs. The most terrifying thing happened! The doctor put these organs in his coat pocket.
!Then he went to deliver babies to several women. Needless to say, the women all died one after another.
Let us imagine another scene. Romeo with yellow teeth, his boots full of traces of feces; Juliet, who has never taken a bath several times in her life, has greasy hair. Are the boys and girls who yearn for free love still yearned for it?
In the eighteenth century, all major cities in Europe were equally dirty and smelly. In fact, using forks as tableware only became popular after the mid-eighteenth century. Before that, Europeans used knives to cut their food.
Food is cut and eaten with hands. The use of separate cutlery, plates and cups only began in the mid-to-late 18th century; people often share a vessel when drinking soup and drink from a wine glass.
So you know why Father Ma is reluctant to let go of life in Beijing? Even though Beijing in the Qing Dynasty became muddy when it rained and snowed, at least every household had an independent hut in the yard, which would last for ten and a half days.
Someone comes to clean up. No one drinks soup from the same bowl as others, and no one eats with their hands.
Macarius was taken into a room by the doorman and the security police. When he sat on the chair in confusion, he saw the little doorman taking out a pair of shiny scissors and a pair of scissors from a drawer.
Folding knife.
"What are you doing?!"
"Cut your beard!"
"No!" Father Ma, who finally woke up, began to roar.
It is said that the Holy See has been promoting the policy of shaving since the Middle Ages. The purpose of this is to distinguish mortals from clergy. The Orthodox Church’s tradition of growing beards is regarded as a “heresy” by the Roman Church.
However, according to statistics, 188 of the 266 popes in the history of the Catholic Church have beards! In the life of Tsarist Russians, beards symbolize courage, maturity, loyalty, positivity and energy.
Hong Tao outside the door heard the quarrel in the locker room. He opened the door and explained to Father Ma for a long time, trying to make him understand that there were too many parasites in his beard, which was absolutely not allowed in the sanitary environment of Beihai Town Hospital.
.
"Father Ma, don't you want to know what hygiene is? These are all part of hygiene."
Father Ma argued: "I showered every day on the boat! I'm very clean! I, I'm very hygienic!"
During the two days on board the Thor, in view of the stench on Markarius and Ferapontov, Zhao Xin asked the soldiers to point their guns at gunpoint and forcibly ordered them to take a shower. Stripping off their clothes in full view of the public made the two priests feel uncomfortable.
Extremely shameful.
"Cut it!" Seeing that his persuasion for a long time still had no effect, Hong Tao had no choice but to be tough. Then his face changed and he nodded to the security policeman. The security policeman then took out a revolver from his waist and pressed it against Father Ma's head.
head on.
Father Ma had seen the power of this small musket on the ship. Zhao Xin specially asked someone to demonstrate it to him and Ferapontov. He knew that as long as the other party pulled the trigger, his head would be split into pieces.
Death was not scary to him. However, he remembered the matter that he and Ferapontov quietly discussed, all for the sake of Her Majesty the Queen and the church! Well, then just bear with it!
So out of desperation, Macarius's face was shaved clean. There was still a small cut on his blue chin.
He was forced to take off his shabby black robe and pair of tattered boots, put on a white coat, a pair of white canvas shoes, and a large mask. Then he was taken to the sink and ordered as follows:
At Hong Tao's request, wash your hands three times with disinfectant soap.
After everything was done, Hong Tao took out another bottle of alcohol gel and squeezed it on Father Ma's hand, and told him to rub the gel all over the palms and backs of his hands.
At this moment, in the eyes of Father Ma, these people in Beihai Town are more hateful than devils! And the smiling Hong Tao, Liu Siting, and those female nurses have become heretics at this moment!
When he was led by Hong Tao and visited each department one by one, the expression on Father Ma's face changed rapidly and was wonderful.
Everything here was something he could not see in any hospital in Russia. Everything was so neat and clean, and young female nurses wearing nurse caps were smiling and walking through the corridors.
However, when he visited the B-ultrasound equipment and saw his own gastrointestinal images through personal experience, Father Ma firmly believed that people like Zhao Xin and Hong Tao were devils from hell.
"Lord Zhao, Devil Zhao" left in a hurry because he really had something to do.
Lu Shoushan and the others will board the ship tomorrow. Before leaving, Zhao Xin still has some things to tell him and Xu Dayong. When he saw Lu Shoushan, Xu Dayong and their group, these dozen people had already recovered.
They looked like subjects of the Qing Dynasty.
She has pigtailed pigtails, a dark gray cotton robe, thick Burmese crotch cotton trousers, a cotton-woven silk belt, and a pair of brand-new thousand-layer cloth shoes on her feet.
These cotton robes, Burmese crotch cotton trousers and silk belts were made with the help of the girls at Tang Xiaoxiao, and the thousand-layer cloth shoes were provided by Zhao Xin.
"Sir." When Zhao Xin entered the room, Lu Shoushan and Xu Da saluted with clasped fists.
"Not bad, you got into the role so quickly. Have you received all the weapons and ammunition?"
"Already received." Worried that the weapons might be lost or seized by the Qing court, Zhao Xin equipped Lu Shoushan and others with 0.45-caliber M1911s, and the bullets were equipped with two hundred rounds per person. Based on the eighteenth century
With such an industrial level, even if the weapons are seized, no one can imitate them.
Zhao Xin glanced at the dozen or so people in the room, smiled at one of the men and said, "Your name is Wang Changsheng, right?"
"Yes, he is a villain." Wang Changsheng did not expect that Zhao Xin actually recognized him. His knees softened and he almost knelt down. But then he straightened his waist and bowed to Zhao Xin in an extremely awkward posture.
"Don't be nervous." Zhao Xin stepped forward and patted Wang Changsheng on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Dayong Changsheng, your two names are really unique. How about you, are you familiar with the weapons?"
Wang Changsheng puffed up his chest and replied respectfully: "I have been practicing every day these days. Master, no! Brother Xu and Master Lu have taught me a lot."
"It's okay, just keep calling me the boss."
Zhao Xin also greeted other people present, and then took Lu Shoushan and Xu Dayong to a secluded area outside the house. He took out an envelope from his coat pocket, handed it to Lu Shoushan and said: "This is for Huang Maocai Huang
The boss’s letter, after you meet at Flower and Bird Island, give it to him. After landing, he will give you the activity funds. As for the salt, it will be sent to his warehouse first; you can discuss with him how to transfer it out.
.Remember, after you get the banknotes and salt, you must start acting alone and do not contact Boss Huang again."
"Yes, sir."
"Remember, even if you don't have enough funds, you can't go to Boss Huang. At two o'clock in the night on New Year's Eve, which is the ugly time, I will wait for you at the gate of Tianning Temple in Yangzhou. I only have a quarter of an hour.
time."
"Understood. On the 29th day of the Lunar New Year, at the gate of Tianning Temple in Yangzhou."
Zhao Xin patted Lu Shoushan and Xu Dayong on the shoulders, and said with a serious face: "Whether hundreds of thousands of people in Henan can survive depends on you."
