Zhao Jingxing angrily sat down on a chair beside him: "I think that if we apply to the imperial court for the allocation of firearms this time, the latest Hanyang-made ones will naturally be out of the question, and neither will the Kuaili or Mauser 1871. Then give us the Martini, Li Yi That's okay. The result was good, the court sent us 2,500 Lin Mington needle guns."
The series of nouns and terms made Sun Yuanqi dizzy. Except for Hanyang Zao, which he was familiar with, he had never heard of the others. I had to ask: "What do you mean?"
Zhao Jingxing explained: "The Lin Mington center needle gun has a caliber of 10 mm, a gun length of 1321 mm, a gun weight of 4.34 kg, and a range of 300-1200 yards. The prototype is the Lin Mington side needle gun equipped by the United States troops in 1866, but the locking method has been slightly changed. The combined chamber and locking mechanism are improved in the rolling locking mode, making it simpler and more accurate.
"Originally, this was a very good breech-loaded single-shot gun. In the tenth year of Guangxu (1884), Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau introduced it and began mass production. However, due to poor technology, the produced guns often misfired during use, resulting in accidental injuries. There are tens of thousands of them in the backlog, but no one has ever taken them. Now that the court heard that we wanted guns, they gave us this pile of rubbish!"
The easy misfire is indeed a big problem, especially when used by careless students. It would be unsightly if it is accidentally injured. Sun Yuanqi asked: "What should we do?"
"Sir, can you ask the court to exchange a batch of firearms?" Zhao Jingxing asked cautiously.
Sun Yuanqi glanced at him: "Do you think it's possible?"
Zhao Jingxing said with a shy face: "Sir, can you discuss with the scholars in Shanhaiguan and temporarily exchange our Lin Mingdon for the quick profits in their hands? Even if it is only 500."
"Dream on you!" Sun Yuanqi flatly refused.
"200? No, 100!"
"Impossible!" With the honor of the Imperial Envoy, it might not be a big problem to temporarily exchange 100 guns with Rulin, but Sun Yuanqi really didn't want to cause trouble at this critical moment. "Since this gun is not safe, then return it first and I will give it to you." You exchange them for 2,500 broadswords and spears."
"Don't!" Zhao Jingxing stood up hurriedly, "Don't! Although this gun is easy to misfire, it is still a firearm after all, isn't it? The deterrent effect is much stronger than that of swords and spears! Moreover, these guns have been kept in the warehouse, and they are all brand new. Yes, coupled with a bayonet, it is definitely a good weapon to suppress ordinary people!"
"What if a fire breaks out and someone is injured?"
"It's okay!" Zhao Jingxing patted his chest and said, "Usually the bullets are separated and the muzzle is not allowed to be pointed at people. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the bullets will not be loaded. Even if the gun is loaded, the first round will be a blank, so there will be no problem."
Sun Yuanqi said: "Since you said so, let me believe it for the time being. You must record these words honestly in your notebook for future inspection."
"Follow your orders!" Zhao Jingxing actually took out his pen and started writing in a small notebook. After writing it, he respectfully handed it to Sun Yuanqi to read.
Sun Yuanqi was also afraid of straw ropes once he was bitten by a snake for ten years. He read it carefully twice and felt that what he had written was correct, so he handed it back to him.
Zhao Jingxing took the book and asked with a mocking smile: "Sir, when we have used up this gun, the court should not want it anymore, right?"
"Why do you ask this?"
Seeing that Sun Yuanqi did not refuse, Zhao Jingxing smiled even more happily: "Sir, you also know that the imperial court is very strict about firearms management. During the military training in our school, we did not have many guns, so we had to use wooden sticks instead. If the imperial court does not want this gun, I'll find someone to think about it and see if I can cure its fire problem. Even if it can't be cured, practicing with it is more powerful than a wooden stick!"
Sun Yuanqi shook his head: "It is impossible to keep them all. If dozens of guns are detained in the name of loss, I guess the court will not care."
"Can we lose more?" Zhao Jingxing looked hopeful.
"Get out!" Sun Yuan got angry.
Zhao Jingxing said with a smile: "If I can lose two hundred strokes, I will leave immediately."
"I'm too lazy to talk to you." Sun Yuanqi didn't want to talk to this lazy guy, so he could open a paint store by giving him some colors.
¡°I¡¯ll take it as an adult and agree to my humble duty.¡± He stood up and prepared to leave.
"Come back!" Sun Yuanqi stopped him again, "I want to ask you about business, how many volunteers have arrived at Shanhaiguan now?"
Zhao Jingxing no longer smiled playfully and replied seriously: "As of 12 noon today, a total of 447 people have reported, and 200 people have assisted in checking passengers in Mazhi County at various southbound crossings in Linyu County."
Sun Yuanqi ordered: ¡°All volunteers will first undergo epidemic prevention training, and then 60 people will be selected from them, and they will be ready in five days.Prepare to go north. "
As he spoke, he picked up an "Epidemic Prevention Manual" from the table and handed it to Zhao Jingxing. After the pamphlet was written, the subordinates copied it into more than ten volumes. In addition to reporting it to the imperial court, giving it to Wu Liande, and delivering it to the printing factory, he also had several copies with him.
Zhao Jingxing paid a military salute and withdrew from the county government office.
In the following days, Sun Yuanqi was extremely busy. As the top commander of this epidemic prevention activity, faced with an almost blank epidemic prevention system, there are too many problems that need to be solved by him: always pay attention to the development of the epidemic in Northeast China, remotely control local officials to organize disaster relief without being physically present, and guide Yongping The government established a simple infectious disease hospital, bargained with the court, checked the preparation status of various materials, and inspected the training and learning status of volunteers
Five days later, Shanhaiguan Railway Station was crowded with people, but the atmosphere was solemn. At this moment, the first batch of epidemic prevention and disaster relief personnel will take the bus to Binjiang Hall, which was hit hardest this time.
This group of personnel mainly includes more than 20 doctors and nurses led by Wu Liande, more than a dozen researchers led by Zhao Jinghui, and 60 guards. Their mission is to go deep into the hardest-hit areas to establish a relatively complete infectious disease hospital and study the types, infection routes, symptoms and even treatment methods of the plague virus.
Although this mission is not a narrow escape, the risk is indeed very high. According to a report from the Binjiang Department, more than 20 people die there every day. How could he be disrespectful if he took the initiative to go there under such circumstances?
Among the officials present, Sun Yuanqi undoubtedly had the highest rank. If he didn't speak, others would not dare to say anything. Until everyone was ready to board the train, Sun Yuanqi was still discussing the material preparations with Zhang Shizhao. Deputy Capital Ruler Lin finally couldn't bear it any longer and whispered: "Master Sun, everyone is about to get on the bus. Can you give me some instructions?"
Sun Yuanqi immediately came to his senses: "Oh, I should give you a few words of advice. Rudu Tong, the general has been busy these days. However, in the next ten days, nearly 2,000 people will arrive here one after another. We still have to ask the general about food and lodging and other issues." Solve it properly! Mazhi County, although the epidemic prevention in Linyu has achieved initial results, we must not be negligent at all and must persevere. I hope you can start well and end well. And please tell the governor that future epidemic reports in Yongping Prefecture should be sent to Binjiang Hall." said With that, Sun Yuanqi rushed to the crowd and bowed his hands: "The important task of preventing the epidemic from going south lies with you adults!"
Ru Lin, Ma Qinglin and others looked at each other in shock: I had never heard that the Imperial Envoy was going to the Binjiang Hall before!
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In this way, you can not only avoid putting yourself in danger, but also take the opportunity to make some money.
The scholar hurriedly admonished: "Master Sun, as the imperial envoy for this epidemic prevention, you should be sitting in the rear. How can you put yourself in danger? As the saying goes: 'A son with a lot of money cannot sit down in the hall.' What's more, you also have the emperor's mandate. What? Absolutely not, absolutely not!"
Ma Qinglin also advised: "Master Sun, although the Northeast is vast, but now that telegraphs are developed and epidemics can be reported in time every day, why bother to go there in person? Moreover, there are so many problems in epidemic prevention and disaster relief, and there are endless problems, all of which require your decision. You are more We should strategize to win the battle thousands of miles away."
Sun Yuanqi put on a resolute expression and said in a solemn voice: "My lords, Sun appreciates your kindness. However, the situation in Northeast China is complicated and the epidemic is serious. Sun shoulders the important task of eliminating the epidemic and does not dare to neglect it. He should be present in person for epidemic prevention and disaster relief." I hope that after Sun goes, all of you will continue to be loyal to the country as always!"
The men who came to Guandong in the late Qing Dynasty were not good at eating fast and chanting Buddha's name; as for the old Russians and Japanese brats, they were not kind people; and those old fritters in the officialdom probably ignored Wu Liande and others who were not popular. It is estimated that only the imperial envoys can barely control the situation.
When Sun Yuanqi wanted to leave, Ru Lin, Ma Qinglin and others really couldn't stop him, and they didn't necessarily want to keep him in their hearts: Whose ass is clean? Wouldn't it be bad luck if someone who didn't open his eyes poked himself out in front of the Imperial Envoy?
The Binjiang Hall is the area near Harbin today. But at the end of the 19th century, there were still a few scattered villages and villages, and there were no large towns. With the construction of the China-Eastern Railway between 1896 and 1903, a large number of laborers from the Customs came here, forming a large gathering area in Fujiadian, north of Harbin, with a population of more than 20,000. Later, Harbin gradually became an international commercial port, so there is a local proverb that "there was Fujiadian first, then Harbin".
Since Fujiadian is mainly populated by various laborers, the plague also appeared here. The area is densely populated and has poor sanitary conditions, so it quickly became the hardest hit area by the epidemic.
As soon as the train of Sun Yuanqi and his entourage entered Jilin Province, Yu Sixing, the highest official of the Binjiang Department stationed in the Northwest Road Bingbei Road, led officials of all sizes to stop the train, looking extremely nervous. After seeing the ceremony, Yu Sixing hurriedly said: "Master Sun, the epidemic situation in Binjiang Hall is serious now. I hope you will move to Alchuka (that is, Acheng). Alchuka is not far from Binjiang, and the epidemic is relatively mild. You can Command nearby!" (To be continued.
