After the fight between Bennett and Lu Songhe, although the foreign doctors did not see Lu Songhe's actual operation, Bennett took the initiative to admit defeat, and the foreign doctors all restrained themselves.
The Chinese doctors in front of you cannot be offended easily.
In the following time, Chinese doctors and foreign doctors worked together. Within five days, all the patients' injuries were resolved. Only the patients who had undergone surgery needed to continue to recover, but they were no longer serious and the condition was eliminated. Hong Kong Governor Robinson sent All the doctors who came left, and Bennett also returned to his residence to deal with matters. After all, he had to leave Hong Kong and had to deal with many things.
On the third day of April, the weather gradually became hotter.
In the village, Liu Yongfu, Old Uncle Liu and the village chiefs of other villages gathered together. Li Zhen, Mu Zhongyuan, Huan Xiaolang, Huang Qiang and others were also at the venue.
On this day, I made a special trip to see Li Zhen off.
Early tomorrow morning, Li Zhen, Mu Zhongyuan, Huan Xiaolang and others will leave.
The big round table was filled with people.
Liu Yongfu held the wine glass and said loudly: "Dr. Li, Mr. Mu, Dr. Li, Ms. Nightingale, and the doctors who stayed up late to treat the patients this time, thank you. I toast you with this glass of wine. Thank you for your selflessness." Thank you for your life-saving grace. You can do whatever you want, I'll do it." He held the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all.
Li Zhen, Mu Zhongyuan and others drank, and then Uncle Liu and the others toasted in turn.
This banquet started in the morning and lasted until the evening.
In the end, many people got drunk.
The drunk doctors went to rest, and Lu Songhe, Huan Xiaolang, Mu Ziqing and others all fell asleep. Li Zhen walked slowly by the pier alone, blowing the cool sea breeze. The sea breeze blew, and all the drunkenness was gone. After dissipating, he looked up and found a figure sitting on the edge of the pier. Looking carefully, it was Liu Yongfu who had done the most for the villagers.
Li Zhen strode over and sat down next to Liu Yongfu.
The sea breeze blows and is cool.
Liu Yongfu smiled slightly and said, "Dr. Li, you are going back tomorrow, why haven't you rested yet?"
Li Zhen said: "If you can't sleep, come out for a walk."
Liu Yongfu turned his head and looked at the dark sea, with a touch of sadness on his face. The expression was completely different from the smile on Liu Yongfu's face in the past, as if he was a different person.
Li Zhen asked: "Afu, what difficulties have you encountered?"
Liu Yongfu shook his head and said: "No, I just thought of some past events."
"Oh, tell me." Li Zhen tentatively said.
Liu Yongfu said: "Dr. Li, if I said that I was once a rebel against the Qing Dynasty, would you believe it?"
"Believe it, why don't you believe it?"
Li Zhen's tone was firm and his expression was sincere.
Liu Yongfu sighed: "Once, I really led people to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, but unfortunately it failed."
Li Zhen said: "You are not the only one who is anti-Qing. Strictly speaking, President Li of today's China is also anti-Qing. However, he takes a different path. He is not directly anti-Qing, but with the help of the Qing court. Develop your own power, and then overthrow the Qing Dynasty when you have enough power. As for you, you just don’t have a chance. For a person who is willing to be humiliated for the lives of his fellow villagers, and would rather suffer himself than let his brothers and sisters suffer, I think He is an upright man."
Li Zhen said with certainty: "No matter what happened in the past, you are still a sonorous man."
Liu Yongfu said: "Thank you."
Li Zhen changed the topic and asked: "Afu, you plan to stay here as the youngest child for the rest of your life."
Liu Yongfu smiled sadly and said: "What can I do if I don't die here? Once, when I was young and vigorous, I also wanted to do something to serve the country. Unfortunately, I had no chance to serve the country. Instead, I took People rebelled against the Qing Dynasty. I am not originally from Hong Kong. I am a Cantonese like you, but a Hakka. Because of the anti-Qing affairs, I really couldn’t survive, and many things happened one after another, so I fled to Hong Kong, such as I have achieved nothing in the past thirty years, and I have been so unknown in this life."
After hearing this, Li Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up.
He stared at Liu Yongfu and was sure of Liu Yongfu's identity.
Isn’t Liu Yongfu in history a Hakka from Guangdong?
According to historical records, Liu Yongfu was a native of Qinzhou, Guangdong (now part of Guangxi). In 1857, he followed Guangxi farmer Zheng San in revolting and organized people to resist the Qing Dynasty on the border of Yunnan and Guangxi. In the end, they were defeated. In 1865, Liu Yongfu joined the Black Flag Army because Able to fight, he gradually became the main general of the Black Flag Army. In 1883, Liu Yongfu led the Black Flag Army to participate in the Sino-French War and repeatedly defeated the French army. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1898, Liu Yongfu was ordered to go to Taiwan to resist Japan, but ultimately failed. In May 1895, After the cession of Taiwan on the 25th, Liu Yongfu did not agree to the cession and supported the governor Tang Jingsong as the president of the Democratic Republic of Taiwan. He called himself a general. In June of the same year, he proclaimed himself the president. However, because the Manchus did not support him, he was ultimately defeated and sneaked back to China. .
Because of Li Zhen's arrival, many things have changed, including the change in Liu Yongfu's life trajectory. If Li Zhen had not come to Hong Kong, Liu Yongfu might have had to stay in Hong Kong in the end. Now, Li Zhen does not want Liu Yongfu to be such a wealthy person. Capable characters are overwhelmed.
Li Zhen looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Afu, there is a way now, see if you are willing."
"What way?"
Liu Yongfu looked at Li Zhen and realized that there was another meaning in Li Zhen's words.
The Dr. Li in front of me is not just a doctor.
Li Zhen said straight to the point: "We have two purposes in coming to Hong Kong this time. The first is to provide disaster relief and treat the wounded to ensure that the people get through the difficulties; the second is to inquire about news about Hong Kong, gather people's hearts, and let the people know that President Li is thinking about him. Looking at Hong Kong, you understand."
Liu Yongfu nodded and said: "You are from the north, tell me what you want me to do."
"smart people."
Li Zhen suddenly smiled and said: "Before the earthquake and tsunami in Hong Kong, President Li of China unified the country, but he also fought everywhere, took back the land ceded by the Russians, and drove away the British, American, and French who bullied China. Waiting for the country, but there was no time to take back Hong Kong. This time, President Lee is ready to take back Hong Kong and drive out the British troops in Hong Kong. If you are willing, you can develop the people in Hong Kong and form a force."
Liu Yongfu asked: "President Lee wants to drive away the British, why doesn't he send troops to take over Hong Kong?"
Li Zhen said: "It's not feasible."
Liu Yongfu asked: "Why."
Li Zhenluo thought for a while and replied: "As far as Hong Kong is concerned, this place is not big. If we start cutting off food, weapons, money, soldiers and a series of other things, it will be a huge project. In addition, Britain's participation in the war may also lead to other countries joining the war, triggering a larger war. Therefore, President Lee wants to take back Hong Kong in a bloodless way."
Liu Yongfu said: "Since President Li is interested, I agree."
Li Zhen patted Liu Yongfu on the shoulder and said, "I believe you, you can do it."
