241, walking towards Yuguan (Part 1)

Zhao Jingxing sat down on the chair aside: "I want to come, this court has applied for the transfer of firearms. The latest Hanyang artifacts are naturally no chance. It is impossible for Mauser 1871. Then we can do it for Martini and Li Yi. The result is good. The court sent us 2,500 Lin Mingduan needle guns."

A series of nouns and terms made Sun Yuanqi dizzy. Except for Hanyang Zao, who was familiar with him, he had never heard of anything else. He had to ask, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Jingxing explained: "The Lin Mingdu middle needle gun has a diameter of 10 mm, a length of 1321 mm, a gun weighs 434 kilograms, and a range of 3001,200 yards. The prototype is the Lin Mingdu side needle gun that was equipped with the United States in 1866, but the locking method has been slightly changed. The combined chamber and locking mechanism are improved under the original rolling locking method to make it simpler and more accurate.

"Originally, this was a very good single-shot breech gun. In the tenth year of Guangxu (1884), the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau introduced and began to manufacture in large quantities. However, because the technology was not up to standard, the fire was often fired during use, resulting in accidental injuries. All the backlogs of tens of thousands of guns were not available. Now the court heard that we wanted guns, so he gave us this pile of garbage!"

It is indeed a big problem to get out of fire, especially for students who are frivolous. If they are injured by accident, it will be unsightly. Sun Yuanqi said: "What should I do?"

"Sir, can you ask the court to change a batch of guns?" Zhao Jingxing asked cautiously.

Sun Yuanqi glanced at him: "Do you think it's possible?"

Zhao Jingxing looked shy: "Sir, can you discuss with the Scholars of Shanhaiguan to temporarily exchange our Lin Mingdu for quick profits in their hands? Even if you only exchange 500 pieces."

"Dream you!" Sun Yuanqi flatly refused.

"20 pieces? No, pieces!"

"Impossible!" With the face of the imperial envoy, it is probably not a big problem to change the gun with Rulin for the time being, but Sun Yuanqi really doesn't want to make trouble at this critical moment. "Since this gun is not safe, I will return it first. I will exchange you 2,500 large-sword spears."

"No!" Zhao Jingxing hurriedly stood up, "Don't! Although this gun is prone to fire, it's still a pole firearm, it's not? The deterrence is much stronger than the big knife and spear! Moreover, these guns have been kept in the warehouse, and they are all new. With bayonets, suppressing ordinary people is definitely a good weapon!"

"What if the fire breaks out and hurts someone?"

"It's okay!" Zhao Jingxing patted his chest and said, "Often the guns and bullets are separated, and the muzzle is not accurate to the person. If it is absolutely necessary, the bullet will never be loaded. Even if it is loaded, the first round will be empty and there will be no problems."

Sun Yuanqi said: "Since you said that, I will believe it again. You must keep these words honestly in your notebook and leave them for later inspection."

"As for your order!" Zhao Jingxing really took out his pen and wrote it on the small notebook. After writing, he respectfully handed it to Sun Yuan for a review.

Sun Yuanqi was also afraid of the rope when he was bitten by a snake for ten years. After reading it carefully twice, he felt that there was no mistake in his writing, so he handed it back to him.

Zhao Jingxing took the notebook and asked with a flattering smile: "Sir, we have used up this broken gun, so the court shouldn't want it?"

"What are you asking about this?"

When Zhao Jingxing saw that Sun Yuanqi was not rude and smiled even more: "Sir, you know that the court is extremely strict in the management of guns. During the military training of our school, we didn't have many guns and had to use wooden sticks instead. If the court wants this gun, I will ask someone to think about it carefully to see if it can cure its fire. Even if it cannot be cured, it will be more exciting than wooden sticks when practicing with it!"

Sun Yuanqi shook his head: "It is impossible to stay all of them. If you intercept dozens of guns in the name of loss and loss, you probably won't care."

"Can you lose more?" Zhao Jingxing looked hopeful.

"Get out!" Sun Yuan was furious.

Zhao Jingxing said with a smile: "If I can throw two hundred shots, I will get out immediately."

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." Sun Yuanqi didn't want to pay attention to this lazy guy, so he could open a paint shop just by giving him some colors.

"Then I will be the Lord agreeing." He said that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Get back!" Sun Yuanqi called him again, "Ask you the serious matter, how many volunteers have arrived at Shanhaiguan now?"

Zhao Jingxing no longer smiled and replied seriously: "As of 12 noon today, a total of 447 people have reported that 200 people have assisted in the inspection of Magistrate Ma's inspection of passengers at all south-facing intersections in Linyu County..."

Sun Yuanqi ordered: "All volunteers will conduct epidemic prevention training first, then pick 60 people out of them, and prepare to go north in 5 days."

As he said that, he picked up a "Epidemic Prevention Manual" from the table and handed it to Zhao Jingxing. After the booklet was written, the clerk asked the clerk to copy more than ten books. In addition to submitting the court to keep the bottom and giving it to Wu Liande, he also delivered it to the printing factory.

Zhao Jing gave a military salute and withdrew from the county

In the following days, Sun Yuanqi was busy. As the highest commander of this epidemic prevention activity, in the face of the almost blank epidemic prevention system, there were too many problems that he needed to solve: always pay attention to the development of the epidemic in the Northeast, remotely control officials from all over the country to organize disaster relief without visiting, guide Yongping Prefecture to establish a simple infectious disease hospital, bargain with the court, check the preparations for various materials, and inspect the training and learning situation of volunteers...

Five days later, Shanhaiguan Railway Station was crowded, but the atmosphere was solemn. At this moment, the first batch of epidemic prevention and disaster relief personnel will take a bus to the Binjiang Hall, which is the worst disaster.

Among this group of people, there are more than 20 doctors and nurses led by Wu Lien-teh, more than 10 researchers led by Zhao Jinghui, and 60 guards. Their mission is to establish a relatively complete infectious disease hospital in the hardest hit areas of the epidemic, and to study the types, infection routes, symptoms and even treatment methods of the plague virus this time.

Although this mission is not a life-threatening death, it is indeed very dangerous. According to a report from the Binjiang Department, there are more than 20 deaths in the area every day. In this case, I volunteered to go there. How can I not be respected?

Among the officials present, Sun Yuan was undoubtedly the highest-ranking official position. He didn't speak, and no one dared to say anything. Until everyone was about to board the bus, Sun Yuanqi was still discussing material preparations with Zhang Shizhao. Deputy Chief Rulin finally couldn't help it and whispered: "Mr. Sun, everyone is about to get on the bus. Do you have a few instructions?"

Sun Yuan immediately woke up and realized: "Oh, it's time to give me a few words. The Religious General, I've worked hard these days. However, in the next ten days, nearly two thousand people will arrive here one after another. I hope the general will properly solve the problem of food and accommodation! Ma County Ma, although Linyu's epidemic prevention has begun to show results, there must be no negligence. We must persevere. I hope you can start and end well. I also ask you to tell the governor that the Yongping Prefecture epidemic report will be delivered to the Binjiang Hall in the future." As he said, Sun Yuanqi rushed to everyone present and bowed: "The important task of preventing the epidemic from going south depends on you!"

Ru Lin, Ma Qinglin and others looked at each other: I haven’t heard of the imperial envoy going to Binjiang Hall before!

In their opinion, the imperial envoy should always be in charge of Shanhaiguan, coordinate and command in the center, calmly dispatch various personnel and materials to rescue disasters, and prevent the epidemic from going south. In this way, it can not only avoid being in danger, but also take the opportunity to make some money.

The Sullin hurriedly advised: "Mr. Sun, as the imperial envoy for this epidemic prevention, you should be in the rear. How can you go to danger? As the saying goes, 'The son of a thousand gold cannot sit in the hall. What's more, you are still carrying the emperor's order? No, no!"

Ma Qinglin also advised: "Mr. Sun, although the northeast is vast and thousands of miles away, the telegrams are developed now, and the daily epidemic can be transmitted in time. Why should you go there in person? Moreover, there are many things to prevent and relieve epidemics, and problems are endless, and you need to make a decision.

You should plan and win a thousand miles."

Sun Yuanqi put on a tough expression and said in a solemn voice: "My dear Lords, Sun understands it. However, the situation in Northeast China is complicated and the epidemic is heavy. Sun shoulders the heavy responsibility of eliminating the epidemic and dare not neglect it. He should come to prevent and rescue the epidemic in person. I hope that after Sun goes, all of you will be loyal to the state as always!"

The men who entered Guandong in the late Qing Dynasty were not the ones who ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name; as for the Russian Russians and Japanese devils, they were not good people; and the old fried dough sticks in the officialdom, they probably ignored Wu Liande and others. It is estimated that only if the imperial envoy came out, they could barely be able to conquer the place.

Sun Yuanqi is leaving, Rulin, Ma Qinglin and others really can't stop him, and they may not want to keep him in their hearts: Whose butt is clean? If someone is blind, wouldn't it be unlucky to stab him in front of the imperial envoy?

The Binjiang Hall is the area near Harbin now. But at the end of the 19th century, there were still several scattered villages, villages, and no large towns. With the start of construction of the Central and Eastern Railway between 1896 and 1903, a large number of laborers in Guandi flocked here, forming a large gathering area in Fujiadian in northern Harbin, with a population of more than 20,000. Later, Harbin, an international commercial port, gradually formed, so the proverb that "Fujiadian first and Harbin later" is circulating in the local area.

Since the main living laborers in Fujiadian are all kinds of labor, the plague also appeared here. The place is densely populated and has poor sanitary conditions, so it quickly became a severely affected area of ​​the epidemic.

As soon as Sun Yuanqi and his team entered Jilin Province, Yu Sixing, the highest official stationed in the Binjiang Department, the Northwest Road Bingbai Road, led officials of all sizes to stop the train, with an expression of nervousness. After the greeting, Yu Sixing hurriedly said: "Mr. Sun, the epidemic in the Binjiang Department is now severe, so I hope that the adults will move to Alechuka (i.e. Acheng). Alechuka is not far from Binjiang, and the epidemic is mild, so you can command it nearby!"
