Rebirth of the Qing Empire

Two hunters led Kang Fan and Mei Xiang to a town called Mafang Township. This was the first time in this period that they were exposed to human society. Although it was only a small town, the real things that caught their eyes were

The scenery of the Qing Dynasty made the two of them seem to be in a dream, but it was all real!

The mood of the two of them could not be described in words. Their minds were in confusion. Facing the villagers who flocked to watch the excitement, they just walked without squinting.

Mei Xiang and Kang Fan were both in casual clothes, and Mei Xiang was wearing a bright red sportswear, which was very eye-catching. The villagers chased them and looked at them in amazement, pointing and pointing, and more and more gathered. Mei Xiang held Kang Fan tightly with both hands.

One of his hands was pressed tightly against Kang Fan, his eyes never leaving Kang Fan's face. Kang Fan tried his best to put on a calm expression.

The leading figure here is a thin, fair-skinned man in his early thirties. There is a bookish look on his face, and you can tell at a glance that he is the kind of person who has read poetry and books, and it should be easier to communicate. The two hunters said respectfully

After reporting the situation to this elegant squire, he exited the living room. Kang Fan watched them leave, thinking back to the reason he had fabricated to the two hunters about the reason for his appearance here and the origin of his relationship with Mei Xiang.

Mei Xiang still held Kang Fan's hand, her palms full of sweat. The squire looked at Mei Xiang, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, with an element of ridicule in it.

"My surname is He, and my given name is Boishang. May I ask the names of the two of you?" Mr. He asked, cupping his fists.

Kang Fan also leaned over and bowed, imitating He Shuichang's tone and introduced: "I'm Kang Fan, this is my little sister Mei Xiang. It's our first visit and I was a little abrupt. I hope Brother He can forgive me!"

Mei Xiang didn't know whether to bow or say long blessings. When she hesitated, she couldn't help but blush.

Seeing this scene, He Shuichang smiled considerately and said repeatedly: "When meeting guests at home, there is no need to be rigid, just feel free to do whatever you want. Come, you two, please take a seat!"

After sitting down, before He Shuichang could ask questions, Kang Fan first explained the purpose of his visit: "In the early years, the family's predecessors crossed the ocean and went to the Americas to pan for gold. They have been there for decades. This time, more than 30 brothers and sisters of the same clan returned home to worship their ancestors.

I am so excited about traveling that I never thought of getting lost in your place and causing so much trouble."

He Shuichang was doubtful, but couldn't find any loopholes for the moment, so he pondered and sipped the tea.

Kang Fan knew that from 1849 to 1882, more than 300,000 Chinese people traveled across the ocean to the western United States to seek gold. The first batch of Chinese arrived in California as early as 1850.

.This is the largest immigration wave in Chinese history. It is well documented and it is impossible for He Shuichang not to know about it.

He Shuichang put on the tea cup and asked: "What are your plans for this trip? Are you taking a temporary break or are you planning to stay for a long time?"

Kang Fan said: "The fallen leaves have returned to their roots, and I plan to stay there for a long time. However, I haven't found a suitable place to live yet, so I am hesitating."

He Shuichang nodded and smiled, "Since you have returned from the other side of the ocean, you should be able to know some of the skills of Westerners. May I ask Kangdi if there are any people in the tribe who are proficient in medical science?"

Kang Fan turned to look at Mei Xiang. Mei Xiang winked at him playfully, looking confident.

"My little girl is new to medicine, so you should be brave enough to give it a try. Is there anyone in your area who has contracted the disease?" Mei Xiang also imitated He Shuichang's tone, but she made herself laugh, but felt it was inappropriate, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands.

He Shuichang looked sad and said: "To be honest, I have a daughter who has been seriously ill recently. However, she has sought medical treatment in many ways, but she has not found any relief. For many days, everyone in the family has asked everyone whether she has become a serious illness. I hope she can be cured.

I need the help of an expert to save my little girl's life. When we first met, we shouldn't have asked each other for help. You two didn't think it was presumptuous, and you were really helpless!"

Mei Xiang said: "Then take me to see the patient quickly."

He Shuichang was so surprised that he even forgot to avoid taboos. Without further words, he took Mei Xiang's hand and went straight to the room. Mei Xiang didn't forget to turn around and give Kang Fan an "ok" gesture, and Kang Fan gave her a happy thumbs up.

Thumbs up.

After Mei Xiang and He Shuichang entered the inner room, Kang Fan was walking alone in the hall. The walls were full of calligraphy and painting inscriptions, which were of a very high standard, and most of them were signed by He Shuichang. It seemed that this man had extraordinary cultivation.

Mei Xiang was worthy of being a top student in the Department of Medicine. She came out of the inner room after a while, took out her travel bag from her backpack, took a box of medicine and a pack of disposable syringes and rushed in again. Kang Fan didn't even have a chance to talk to her. It was about

Within ten minutes, Mei Xiang and He Shuichang started talking, both of them looking relaxed.

"How is it?" Kang Fan asked.

Mei Xiang smiled and said, "It's just ordinary pneumonia. Two injections will take effect."

"Where did you find those medicines?" Kang Fan asked again.

Mei Xiang shook the medicine box in her hand, "It's a military product after all, it's first class!"

Kang Fan was shocked, "It was taken from a military vehicle, right? How can military supplies be used casually?"

Mei Xiang didn't care, "Aren't we all eating military supplies these days? We can fill our stomachs but we are not allowed to save lives?"

Kang Fan also thought it made sense. Now is a special situation, can it be treated specially? He didn't know who he was asking.

"Actually, these are all prepared for you. I thought at that time that since the road exploration is dangerous, it would be impossible without preparing some medicine. What should I do if you have something wrong with me?" Mei Xiang explained.

Although the medicine was good and the doctor was good, it would take at least a week for He Shuichang's daughter to recover from her illness, so Kang Fan and Mei Xiang had no choice but to stay at He Shuichang's house.

The He family has a superior family background. In addition to this large house, they also own a considerable amount of fertile land and pastures in the countryside. Among the brothers of the same clan, there are some who are doing business and some who are officials in the court. In addition, He Shuichang is such a

The scholar in the area is well-known for his courtesy, integrity, and charity, so he is quite prestigious among the villagers. Because Mei Xiang saved the life of his precious daughter, Kang Fan and Mei Xiang were treated as honored guests. Over the past few days, all kinds of delicious food

It tastes great and I really enjoyed it a lot.

He Shuichang specially arranged an upper room for each of Kang Fan and Mei Xiang, but Mei Xiang refused to stay and always sneaked into Kang Fan's room to sleep every night. The reason was that she did not dare to sleep without Kang Fan.

Fortunately, the He family sleeps on a heated kang, which is very wide. Even if the two of them sleep sideways, they won't disturb each other. One is on this end of the kang, and the other is on the other end of the kang. There is a long distance between them.

He Shuichang always chatted with Kang Fan every night. It was often late at night when Kang Fan returned to the house, so Mei Xiang was wrapped in a quilt and waiting eagerly under the oil lamp. At first, Kang Fan thought Mei Xiang was funny, but later he stopped

I was used to it, and when I came back every night and saw this scene, I felt an inexplicable throbbing in my heart. In the last two nights, I simply didn't go to He Shuichang's place, and went to bed with Mei Xiang early. For a week, I was very happy.

"Kang Fan, He Shuichang's daughter is very pretty, just like Lin Daiyu. You will definitely like her when you see her." Mei Xiang said while carefully waiting for his answer.

Kang Fan smiled secretly in his heart and said casually: "That's good."

"How should I understand your 'that's good'?" Mei Xiang became excited.

Kang Fan ignored her and wandered alone on the street. Mei Xiang followed closely and held his hand.

"Kang Fan, what did you mean when you said to me, 'That's good'?" Mei Xiang asked all the way.

Kang Fan just didn't explain, and made calculations all the way.

He understands that it is absolutely impossible to find a way to return home in a short period of time. There is no point in thinking about this problem anymore. The most important thing to consider now is how to let everyone live here for a long time. There is money.

Some, and the money Zhong Hanqiang carries is not a fraction. But it is all RMB, which is useless. People in this era only recognize gold, silver, copper and other metal currencies. No one here will regard RMB as an exchangeable item.

Monetary. To meet the long-term needs of more than 30 people in terms of clothing, food, housing, etc., it is impossible without enough money.

So where should I find money? After much thought, the only feasible way is to sell the batch of drugs on the military vehicle. In this era, these drugs with excellent curative effects should be very valuable, especially those like penicillin, Qingda, etc.

Antibiotic drugs are extremely valuable!

"Meixiang, can you make medicines? For example, penicillin, Qingda, etc." Kang Fan asked.

Mei Xiang was angry with him for ignoring him, and immediately refused: "No."

"If you can't, then you can't. You go back to your room to sleep tonight, and I'll go back and lock the door of my room." Kang Fan said as he gestured to go back.

Mei Xiang was anxious and grabbed him, "Okay, okay, I can't find a way for you!"

"Then tell me." Kang Fan smiled.

Mei Xiang thought for a while and said: "Take the penicillin I used for He Shuichang's daughter. It is the first antibiotic that can treat many human diseases. Its successful development has greatly enhanced human beings' ability to resist bacterial infections.

, announced the birth of the antibiotic family and ushered in a new era of treating diseases with antibiotics. After decades of improvement, penicillin injections and oral penicillin have been able to treat pneumonia, tuberculosis, meningitis, endocarditis, diphtheria, anthrax and other diseases respectively.

Let me tell you about another antibiotic called gentamicin. Gentamicin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic independently developed by our motherland. It was named "gentamicin" after it was successfully developed in 1969.

, meaning to celebrate the "nine majors" and the greatness of the working class. It is effective against Escherichia coli, Aerobacter aerogenes, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, certain Indoloproteobacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, certain Neisseria,

Some gram-negative bacteria such as amelanotic Serratia and Shigella have antibacterial effects. It is suitable for neonatal sepsis, septicemia, central nervous system infection, urogenital system infection, respiratory tract infection, gastrointestinal infection caused by sensitive bacteria.

Tract infection, biliary tract infection, skin, bone, otitis media, sinusitis, soft tissue infection, listeria and other diseases..."

Kang Fan waved his hand impatiently, "I want to know if you can make it for me? These purely theoretical things are your specialty, and it's useless for me to listen."

Mei Xiang was embarrassed, "I only know a little about the theory of pharmaceuticals, but I have never done it myself. Some of the classmates who came together are proficient. Let's discuss it with them when we return to the camp. It will definitely be no problem. Don't worry.

"

Kang Fan felt confident and asked, "What majors did these classmates of yours study?"

"There are all kinds of majors," Mei Xiang said.

Kang Fan felt relieved. These thirty young minds with all kinds of professional knowledge in the 21st century, as long as they have the necessary conditions, can definitely change this era!

"Then I should call you Doctor Mei from now on." After saying this, Kang Fan suddenly felt funny, "Dr. Mei, there is no doctor... If a soldier goes to your hospital to see a doctor, the people in your hospital will

Those who shout "No doctor, no doctor", don't you scare the soldiers? I come to see a doctor, and you shout "no doctor," isn't this deceiving people?" As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh.

Mei Xiang grabbed him and tried to beat him, but Kang Fan ran away. The two of them were fighting in the crowded street, causing many pedestrians to stop and watch.

He Shuichang's daughter is called Shuixiu. She is a beautiful and fragile woman who will not turn sixteen in two months and is not yet married. After she recovered from her illness, she came to see off Kang Fan and Mei Xiang at dawn when they were about to leave.

During the week of treatment, Kang Fan and He Shuichang had many exchanges. After getting rid of the initial sense of strangeness, He Shuichang showed a righteous and generous character, and talked about everything with Kang Fan.

With his extensive and solid knowledge accumulation and sharp thinking, Fan was able to cope with things with ease and often performed amazing things, which He Shui grew up to appreciate.

Perhaps because he heard about Kang Fan's outstanding qualities from his father, He Shuixiu paid special attention to Kang Fan when seeing him off, which aroused Mei Xiang's dissatisfaction.

"Shui Xiu, please find out who cured your disease! Why are you always staring at my brother?!" Mei Xiang said with a frown.

Seeing that she was getting excited again, Kang Fan hurriedly hid away from Shuixiu. When He Shuichang saw this scene, he couldn't help laughing.

"Kangdi, this sister, is a straight-talking person. She should be thoughtful when discussing marriage in the future." He Shuichang said with a smile.

Kang Fan nodded in agreement.

He Shuixiu's face was red, she hid behind He Shuichang and peeked at Kang Fan nervously.

"Meixiang!" Kang Fan frowned, "Enough is enough, this is going nowhere!"

Mei Xiang remained silent.

He Shuichang listened to Kang Fan's explanation of the situation in the camp, and before leaving, he specially prepared a boat, some grain, vegetables, meat, and complete living utensils.

"I have been in contact with my brothers from the same clan recently. If I can find a house in the county, I will have no worries about the hospital that Kangdi has entrusted to me." He Shuichang said, "Given the medical skills of my brothers and sisters, it is reasonable for the hospital to prosper.

"

Kang Fan took Mei Xiang and thanked them before boarding the boat. He Shuichang and his party watched on the shore for a long time. The three boats went upstream, and the boatmen rowed with all their strength, and the speed was not slow.

"Kang Fan, do you have a crush on me?" Mei Xiang was still entangled with him and He Shuixiu.

Kang Fan really couldn't laugh or cry, "Are you sick?" He touched her forehead as he spoke.

Mei Xiangliu raised her eyebrows, opened his hand and said, "I can't see you getting close to other girls!"

Hearing what she said, Kang Fan couldn't help but feel happy, but he didn't express his opinion and looked around. Suddenly he remembered that he hadn't smoked for a long time, so he took out his lighter and lit a cigarette. The boatmen were all excited when they saw his lighter.

Feeling very strange, they all came over to see what was going on. Kang Fan gave them the two lighters he was carrying. Several boatmen felt like they had found a treasure, but there were so many people and so little material that they almost fought with each other. Kang Fan simply said

I asked for the lighter back, but no one gave it to me.

"When we return to our camp, I will give one to each of you. Don't let this hurt our friendship," said Kang Fan.

The boatmen then dispersed in disbelief.

There are many such lighters installed in Zhong Hanqiang's car. If the extra ones are sold in the market, they should be able to fetch a good price. Because in this era, such high-tech electronic gas lighters have not yet appeared! In addition, there are

Those other daily necessities should all be popular items, right? Kang Fan thought excitedly.

Mei Xiang sat alone in the bow of the boat, staring at the water with her eyes in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking. Kang Fan walked over and sat down next to her.

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took a boat ride on the Fen River and was moved by the scenery. He wrote the poem "Autumn Wind Ci" that will never be forgotten. Now, let me recite two sentences for you, "The autumn wind blows and white clouds fly, and the grass and trees fall yellow, and the wild geese return south."

The orchids are beautiful and the chrysanthemums are fragrant. Don’t forget to cherish a beautiful woman...'" As he recited it, Kang Fan suddenly couldn't remember the following sentences.

Mei Xiang then finished reading the next few lines: "The boats are coming to the Fen River, and the waves are flowing across the middle. The drums are beating and singing, there is great joy and sorrow, how can you be old when you are young!".

Kang Fan smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm sorry, I forgot about the latter part. It's just a matter of course, it's a matter of course!"

Mei Xiang looked at him bitterly and said, "What's the saying, 'Orchids are beautiful and chrysanthemums are fragrant, and you can't forget when you're pregnant with a beautiful woman'! You are an orchid and you also want chrysanthemums, right?"

"Why not?" Kang Fan deliberately annoyed her.

"I don't see that you are still an elegant and passionate person!" Mei Xiang rolled her eyelids with a strange tone.

Kang Fan snorted and didn't want to talk to her anymore.

At this time, looking around, you can see mountains on both sides of the bank, green vegetation, and the clear Fen River flowing slowly through the mountains. The scenery is extremely beautiful.

Kang Fan's thoughts were ups and downs, and he couldn't help but sigh: "The great rivers and mountains of the motherland have nurtured hard-working and kind-hearted people. They relied on their dexterous hands, smart minds and hard work to create a glorious ancient civilization. But...

Due to the national character of being kind to others and living in harmony, in modern times, they have been brutally bullied by countries such as Britain, France, Germany, the United States, Russia, and Japan! The only difference between these nations and the Chinese nation is that their national character is aggressive.

To put it bluntly, they are only interested in profit, forgetting their own righteousness, and have more primitive animal tendencies. And they actually shamelessly call themselves civilized people and are here to save the Chinese nation, which they think is uncivilized, from the wilderness. It is really unreasonable!" said

At this point, he stood up excitedly, threw out the cigarette butt in his hand, turned to look at Mei Xiang, and continued, "Just five years later, Britain, France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Japan, Russia

Eight countries including the United States jointly sent troops to invade China, forcing the corrupt and weak Qing government to sign the "Xin Chou Treaty" with other countries, which was humiliating and humiliating the country. After the signing of the "Xin Chou Treaty", China was completely reduced to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. The Qing government

It has completely become a tool for imperialism to rule China. The great rivers and mountains of the motherland have been trampled by these beasts, and the kind people have been bullied by these beasts. It is heartbreaking and heartbreaking!" Kang Fan became more and more excited as he spoke, with tears in his eyes.

During this period, Kang Fan's body and mind were also under the impact of huge changes, which made him a bit overwhelmed as a soldier who grew up in peacetime. But he still relied on a sense of mission, responsibility and stubborn character to strengthen himself.

Holding on to his own nerves, he knew that he was not much better than Mei Xiang and the others. Like them, he was equally pampered, had a comfortable and safe living environment, and grew up under the care of his parents and teachers. If he had to find

If he showed some strength, it was just a few more years of training in the military. In fact, when Mei Xiang showed his weak side that night in the wild, he was actually on the verge of collapse. There had to be a way to vent.

You have to have a chance to vent your emotions, otherwise you won't go crazy! At this moment, he found this opportunity for himself.

Mei Xiang was shocked.

"A few years later, if we are still in this era, we will experience this war firsthand." Kang Fan grabbed Mei Xiang's hands, put them on his face and cried, tears pouring down, "I will punish these people

A beast in the skin of civilization. Mei Xiang, I swear, I will fight until the last drop of my blood is shed!"

"I know you will do this, I know you will do this!" Mei Xiang kept nodding and said in a panic, freeing a hand to help Kang Fan wipe his tears, but the tears became more and more wiped away, and he couldn't wipe them away no matter what.

After that, he blocked Kang Fan's mouth with his own mouth in desperation.

Kang Fan immediately stiffened up.

Mei Xiang remained in a state of forgetfulness for a long time before she left. Looking around at the stunned boatmen, she couldn't help but blush.

Kang Fan looked at Mei Xiang stupidly. Gradually, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and there were still tears on his face.

"Let's do it again, Mei Xiang." He said shamelessly.

Mei Xiang lowered her head without saying a word, then suddenly covered her face with her hands, turned around and gave him a slap on the back.

"Why are you so dumb? Just do whatever you have to do!" Kang Fan shouted harshly at the boatmen.
