Hearing this, a pin drop could be heard in the headquarters tent, and Fan Tong's inquiry caused everyone to lock their eyes on Zhao Xin.
Zhao Xin didn't say anything. He lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then nodded slowly...
"I'm sorry, I can't save you. But maybe I can save the baby in your belly. How many months have you been pregnant?"
Hearing Zhao Xin's words, the Mongolian guide was stunned for a moment, and then told the woman. The old lama, who was closing his eyes and chanting sutras in a low voice, suddenly opened his eyes wide after hearing this, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"Nine months." After listening to the guide's words, the woman's face shone with light, and her originally dim eyes gained a hint of brightness.
Zhao Xin knew that this was the effect of the ginseng soup. He had no time to waste, so he looked into the woman's eyes and continued: "That's it, we have to cut open your stomach with a knife and take out the child. If you agree,
We'll do this in a moment. Don't worry, I have a medicine that won't hurt you after the injection."
After listening to the guide's translation, the woman stared at Zhao Xin's eyes for a while, and then nodded in agreement. The old lama beside him stood up, stared at Zhao Xin, and started talking loudly.
.Zhao Xin knew that he definitely had nothing nice to say, so he immediately had the old lama kicked out.
The yurt became quiet again, and Zhao Xin said softly: "After the child is born, what do you want to name the child?"
The woman pondered for a moment and said: "If it's a boy, let's call it Xierchen. If it's a girl, let's call it Su Lun."
Zhao Xin nodded, indicating that he had remembered. He asked the guide to bring the three children in to see their mother for the last time. Pujie and Saihan, who were holding their younger brothers, timidly walked into the yurt and were excited to see their mother awake.
She started crying. The woman showed a look of reluctance and asked Pujie to hold her son Batu closer. She kissed the child affectionately and then spoke to Zhao Xin. The guide listened and whispered to Zhao Xin.
New translation.
"Dear nobleman, can you adopt these children of mine? I am a poor woman without any luck. My husband doesn't want me and my children. They follow me and starve every day. They are really desperate. You can give them a little bit of charity every day.
Just soup and leftover rice will do. They are very obedient and don’t eat much. Buddha will bless you..."
"Don't worry, I will treat them as my own children, and they will never starve or freeze again! I swear to God." Zhao Xin interrupted the woman's babble, stretched out his hand and held the other's bony hand, saying in a deep voice
Said: "Tell me your name and age. When the children get older, they will ask who the mother is. I have to let them know."
"My name is Uda Bala. I am 27 this year. I can't remember when I was born." After the woman finished speaking, she told her two daughters: "I can't do it anymore. From now on, you can take your younger brother and follow this noble man."
Come on. Use him as a cow or a horse to repay the kindness of saving your life."
After hearing this, Pujie and Saihan obediently held their two-year-old brother and kowtowed to Zhao Xin, while Zhao Xin hurriedly helped the two children up.
After the woman woke up, she talked too much and spent too much energy. At this time, her breath gradually became weak. When Zhao Xin saw it, he quickly asked the guide to take the crying children out and fed the woman a few mouthfuls of ginseng.
Tang, when the other person's breathing stabilized, he and Zhizhuo also started working nervously.
Several bright LED lights lit up in some dim yurts. Zhizhui used ropes to hang all the lights with the bulbs down on the support poles on the top of the yurt. Zhao Xin took out the equipment for surgery and Lidoca for anesthesia.
Because, in addition, there are iodophors for disinfection, hemostatic gauze, disposable gloves, surgical gowns, masks, etc.
Seeing that Zhao Xin had transformed into a lot of things in a blink of an eye, Zhizhi's eyes widened and his jaws almost touched the floor. Zhao Xin told him that he could not tell anyone about this matter, as it would rot in his stomach.
Zhizhuo nodded hurriedly in agreement.
Zhao Xin asked the soldiers outside to guard the door of the yurt, saying that no one was allowed to come in unless they were told. He also asked the Mongolian guide to take the three children away. The old lama who was kicked out did not leave, but sat not far away.
On the ground, muttering words.
Zhao Xin had no time to pay attention to him. He and Zhizhuo helped each other disinfect their hands and arms with iodine, put on clothes and gloves, and then began to disinfect the woman. For safety reasons, the two of them started disinfecting the woman's hands and arms.
His withered chest and knees were wiped with iodophor.
Ordinarily, for this kind of surgery, lumbar epidural anesthesia, that is, spinal anesthesia, is usually used. But now it is an emergency, and the woman named "Udabala" will definitely not survive, so Zhao Xin
So I decided to inject anesthetic directly on my belly.
While giving the woman an anesthetic, Zhao Xin, who was wearing a stethoscope, kept paying attention to the movement of the child in the woman's belly. Fortunately, the child's heart was still beating.
Ten minutes after the anesthesia was administered, the surgery was about to begin. Both he and Zhizhuo were so nervous that their foreheads were sweating. No one had ever done this before! In the end, Zhizhuo picked up the scalpel.
"How to row?"
Zhao Xin recalled a certain documentary he had watched before, and then reached out and made a gesture on the lower part of his belly, crosswise!
Although Zhizhuang had operated on others, they were only on his arms and legs, but never on his belly. Afraid of hurting the child with the tip of the knife, he took a few deep breaths and then made a finger-long incision.
, and the knife edge is still very shallow.
"It's too shallow! If you perform an incision like this, the child won't be able to be taken out even if the person dies!"
"I-I'm afraid of hurting the child."
"Forget it, give me the knife!" Zhao Xin took the knife, took a few deep breaths, and then slashed along the spot where the incision was made.
When Zhizhuo saw Zhao Xin making a 20-centimeter long incision, he suddenly took a breath of cold air and thought to himself that you are really not an ordinary person. While he was thinking wildly, he heard Zhao Xin say in a deep voice: "Hemostatic forceps!
gauze!"
There are five layers of human skin, including the layer of the uterus, which makes it six layers. Zhao Xin was brave enough with this knife, cutting directly into the rectus abdominis muscle. When he used surgical scissors to cut open the peritoneum, the uterus was exposed.
came out.
Even though she had been given anesthesia before, the incision was too deep, and the woman still moaned in pain. Zhao Xin didn't care so much anymore. He asked Zheng Zhuo to hold the dilator steady, then quickly cut open the uterus, and then cut it open with his hands.
He tore the hole open and found that there was a film inside, and the child was inside the film.
The two of them were already busy and sweating profusely. No one noticed that the woman's breath was getting weaker and weaker, and the hands that were originally tightly holding the blanket under her body gradually loosened.
When Zhao Xin punctured the amniotic sac with the tip of the scissors, he didn't even have time to clean up the amniotic fluid, so he groped inside with his hands. After finally taking the child out, he and Cheng Zhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Cheng Zhuo hurriedly used the scissors.
He cut the umbilical cord and tied a knot clumsily. At this time, Zhao Xin saw that the child's face turned purple and did not cry. He immediately panicked and didn't know what to do with this little guy who was only as long as his forearm.
Is good.
In the flash of lightning, he suddenly remembered something that Hong Tao had said to him before. So he quickly laid the child flat on a pile of cotton wool, used iodophor to wash away the blood on his right hand, and then inserted the little finger of his right hand into the
He picked at the child's mouth twice, and then took out a mess of dirty, sticky stuff; then he grabbed the child's feet, lifted them up, and slapped the child's butt gently twice.
"Wow~~!!"
"Amitabha!" Chengzhuo muttered silently in his mind, and then prepared to suture the woman's incision. Perhaps because of the excitement of the successful operation, or the child's crying, he did not notice the woman's abnormality.
At this time, the more than a hundred anxious Northern Navy soldiers outside the yurt heard the crying coming from the yurt, and their faces showed joy. The garrison platoon leader smiled and said loudly: "It's better now! I just said
What! With our adults taking action, mother and son will be safe!"
The Mongolian guide also smiled and said to sisters Saihan and Deling: "God bless you, you have another younger brother! You will be blessed in the future!"
The face of the old lama who was unwilling to leave was also full of shock. This was the first time he had seen such a thing in his more than sixty years of life. At this moment, he felt more and more that these Beihai navy-especially Zhao Xin were different from ordinary people.
, so he put his hands together and bowed to the position of the yurt.
"Udabala! It's a son!" Zhao Xin hugged the child excitedly and turned around to show it to the woman. However, he saw Udabala staring blankly at the roof of the yurt, motionless.
...
"In this way, we stopped at Modun Station for one night, buried the mother of the children on the hill where they were found, set up a sign, and then set off with the children." After Zhao Xin finished speaking, he put the cigarette butt
He crushed it with his feet. Under his feet, there were already seven or eight cigarette butts.
Liu Sheng said in surprise: "You just take a newborn child to ride a horse?"
"Who can take care of me if I stay at Morton Inn? A group of big men, forget it. Even though Pujie is only nine years old, she can ride a horse really well, better than me. That little one is full every time,
I stayed in the basket without crying or fussing."
Fan Tong said curiously: "Boss Zhao, didn't you burn those two lamaseries? They are too annoying!"
Zhao Xin shook his head slightly and said nothing. In fact, the old lama stayed behind because he wanted to adopt the child. He asked the Mongolian guide to tell Zhao Xin that the child came to the world with sins and must go home to atone for his mother's sins.
.Zhao Xin didn't even pay attention to him and was escorted back to the Lama Temple.
Fan Tong shook his head and said: "I didn't expect the life of the Mongolian herdsmen to be so hard. I used to look at the information and only said that the Qing Dynasty's head tax and the labor apportionment made the herdsmen unable to hold their heads up. What are the details? I really have no idea."
At this moment, he was thinking of the Mongolian Bulgud he met at the Kutnarsu Station. Maybe one day Bulgud died, and the fate of his wife and children would be similar.
Liu Sheng sighed and said with a sullen face: "We have been busy fighting south this time. Except for the post station and Kulun City, we have hardly seen many herdsmen. After we finish cleaning up the Manchus in the south, we must take good care of those princes and lamas!"
"
"Originally, I wanted to unite the majority and attack a small group. Now it seems that no one is good, whether it is the upper-level lama or the prince Taiji!" Zhao Xin sneered and said to Liu Sheng and Fan Tong: "Lai Lai
On the way, I heard a Mongolian guide say a proverb that is popular among herdsmen, which explains the problem very well."
"What?"
"When you call the earth, the earth doesn't respond; when you call the sky, the sky is too far away!"
The three of them sat and talked for a long time. They all felt a little tired, so they stood up and opened the curtain and walked two steps at the tent door. Although the sky was full of stars at this time, the valley was dimly lit by flares.
, sporadic gunfire and the explosion of grenades came from far away from all around. It was the various posts of the Northern Navy exchanging fire with the Qing army that was attacking at night.
Zhao Xin stood with his arms folded for a while and said without looking back: "Da Liu, how are the casualties in the army these days?"
"Fortunately, two were killed and one was seriously injured, all caused by a sneak attack at night."
The Qing army is now also imitating thieves. They have learned the experience and lessons from the Battle of Xiaobai Mountain. Relying on their familiarity with the terrain, they hide in the mountain cols during the day and only quietly move out at night. There are not many people at each time, just three or five.
, either firing cold arrows, or condescendingly throwing a few flying gourds filled with gunpowder and iron sand to make all kinds of noise, intending to disturb the Northern Navy and unable to rest.
But now that Zhao Xin is here, Agui's plan is about to go bankrupt.
On September 29, in the early morning of the next day after Zhao Xin arrived, the North Korean navy, which had been stationary and only engaged in passive defense, suddenly moved. An assault force composed of two battalions quickly broke through under the cover of several mortars.
They entered the pass of Zamenchahel Mountain and entered the gravel-covered wasteland. Then, with the help of more than a dozen small excavators, they began to build a temporary camp made of explosion-proof walls.
Agui was puzzled by the sudden action of the Beihai Navy, but when the sentinel reported that the Beihai Navy was using a strange machine with a long arm and a big bucket in front to dig holes, he immediately thought of Liu Yong's help to Qianlong.
a memorial.
Before Liu Yong negotiated with Zhao Xin at the retreat station, he had seen the Beihai navy using this kind of machinery and built a strong camp overnight. Agui immediately judged that the opponent might be rushing out to find water sources because of the lack of water in the valley.
.
So he dispatched another four thousand cavalry and tried to launch a sneak attack on the Northern Navy who came out of the mountain after dark. But who would have thought that the Northern Navy's camp was actually brightly lit at night, and several barrel-thick light beams shot out from behind the opponent's camp wall.
The surrounding area two or three miles away was illuminated, and it was difficult to hide the shadow. As soon as the Qing army showed its head, there was a hail of bullets, and no one dared to get close.
Agui didn't know whether the Beihai Navy could dig out water, but he knew that once the opponent gained a foothold outside the mountain pass, the threat to himself would be greater. He decided to take down the Beihai Navy before noon tomorrow, regardless of casualties.
Set up camp and move it back into the valley.
After he and his men held a military meeting, tens of thousands of Qing troops began to prepare nervously. At midnight, the Qing troops were divided into three groups and dispatched from Talado Lantai, planning to launch an attack in the early morning when people were most tired. However, the three groups were cleared.
As soon as the troops entered the predetermined assembly area for a meal, an overwhelming barrage of artillery shells hit them.
Countless Qing troops were bombed, howling like ghosts, and clusters of explosions caused fires to rise and fall on the dark wasteland. Those Qing troops who came from Suiyuan had never seen such a formation, or they cowered in place and were bombarded by shells.
Kill him or run away.
Just that night, thousands of Qing troops were killed and injured. Many of the injured cried for their fathers and mothers until dawn, and no companions dared to come back to rescue them.
It is said that now that Zhao Xin is here, he will never delay any more time. For the procrastinating Manchu and Qing troops, he will fight fast and slow, so fast that the other party has no time to react. In addition, the letter he originally wrote to Liu Quan
Xin, we should have arrived at Rehe by now, and according to time, it should be fermented.
On September 30, 1791, Fukang'an, who dispatched more than 10,000 Qing troops from Hulunbuyur, entered the territory of the Chechen Khan tribe with trepidation and arrived at the right-wing Zhongzuo Banner not far from Kulun.
When Fukang'an was about to leave Zhaomodo and march towards Kulun, he suddenly received an order from Qianlong, ordering him to immediately lead his troops back to the Chechen Khan Banner in the east.
Although Fukang'an was confused, he still did not dare to disobey, so he had to lead his army back sadly. Unexpectedly, he had only left for two days, and the second edict arrived again. This time, he finally knew what had happened.
The Gorkha army entered Tibet from the south of Mimi Mountain. By the end of August, the Gurkha army had captured Tingri, Jilong and Sakya. The Tashilhunpo Monastery fell and was looted. In early September, the Gurkha army attacked the Shigatse Dzongcheng and laid siege to it.
After eight days and nights, they still could not break the city, so they retreated to the border with the looted treasures.
In this edict, Qianlong ordered Fukang'an to immediately transfer military power to his deputy Heilongjiang General Hengxiu, and let him lead the army back to Hulunbuer; at the same time, he ordered Fukang'an to take all his Sauron soldiers and Baerhu soldiers and immediately
