the world is at stake

After the "reopening" of the original history, many "flesh factories" appeared along the coast.

The word "flesh and blood" not only refers to the poor living environment, high work intensity, and poor treatment in these factories, but also because they are really devouring flesh and blood.

This is true for factories, mines, and infrastructure construction sites.It is not a big deal that tens of millions of abnormal deaths occurred in the process of industrialization.

Many migrant workers still deal with industrial equipment and operations with the time, strength, and distance they are accustomed to. Death and disability are common occurrences.

Zhang Daniu had a good fortune-telling, but his leg was broken by the blasted stone.

Cai Xuebin intends to set up a propaganda model to let workers know that their lives are guaranteed, and they will be sent to the hospital with approval.Zhang Daniu not only enjoys the best treatment of the current era, but also free of medical expenses.

After Fuhrman took over the 'German Hospital', the medical staff of the 'Holy Light' team was divided into two, and part of them was headed by Academician Li to form the Ministry of Health.The other part joined the hospital and prepared to establish a medical school.

The 'German Hospital' is actually not big, with only 1 beds in a two-story building. After it was changed to No. [-] civilian hospital in the Imperial City, it began to expand, and established specialized departments of surgery, infectious diseases, pediatrics, and obstetrics and gynecology.

Before the restructuring, the hospital's general outpatient fee was between 3 and 5 yuan, expert consultation was 10 yuan, and hospitalization fee was 10 yuan a day.This price is not looked down upon by rich and noble people.

After the restructuring, the 'Holy Light' team immediately provided the hospital with the most advanced medical equipment such as X-ray machines, making it the best medical institution in China.

Zhang Daniu was carried out of the car by the nurses and taken to the hospital.Cai Xuebin's approval note stated the approximate cause of his injury and its publicity value, so the hospital naturally had to take it seriously.

"Let the emergency room debride him, and then send him to the X-ray room to take pictures of the fracture. If everything goes well, I will operate on him at night. I hope his injured bones will not be too fine."

Fuhrman was not optimistic about Zhang Daniu's condition. The broken rocks from the cannon hit his shin, and his appearance was bloody.The wound had not been treated effectively, and a large amount of stone debris was mixed in the flesh and blood.

Without timely treatment, the injured will definitely die of bacterial infection within a few days.

"Give him a shot of sulfa, and watch for any side effects." Fuhrman said to the nurse.

Cai Xuebin sent Zhang Daniu here because he definitely didn't want him to die.But regarding the condition of Zhang Daniu's wound, he may have been in a coma with a fever for a long time late.

An x-ray machine alone, without some good medicine, can't save this man.

Sulfa was found to have antibacterial effect in 1932, but it was actually synthesized in 1908.It's just that no one knew what it was doing at the time.

But since it can be artificially synthesized, things will be easy to handle.Compared with the mycin anti-inflammatory drugs that are still cultivated in sterile rooms, sulfonamides are obviously easier to obtain and cheaper.

Zhang Daniu was lying on the stretcher, feeling very upset.Surrounded by foreign devils and women, there are a few Chinese faces occasionally, and people can't understand their words.He seems to have been sent to a slaughterhouse, only at the mercy of others.

The German nurse in the emergency room used scissors to cut open Zhang Daniu's tattered trouser legs, revealing the scabbed black wound.The calf is twisted unnaturally and not fully in place.

Zhang Daniu didn't care about his legs.When he saw the cut pants, he felt very distressed, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

Pain was unavoidable during the debridement period, and the nurse had to check other parts of the wounded for hidden dangers, occasionally asked a few questions in unproficient Chinese, and touched Zhang Daniu's whole body, and wiped it with alcohol.

After the debridement and bandaging were completed, Zhang Daniu couldn't wear the old black cotton padded clothes, and the nurses threw them into the trash can as medical waste.In order to avoid secondary infection, he had to change into a special hospital gown.

In the eyes of the German nurses, the stiff old cotton padded clothes could never be worn again.

But for Zhang Daniu, that set of clothes was a rare and valuable item at home, and it could be exchanged for a few cents at the pawnshop in warm weather, and redeemed in cold weather.

Seeing the clothes being thrown into the trash can, Zhang Daniu said "ahhh" what did he want to say?But the German nurse glared at him and made him swallow his words again.

Putting on a cotton hospital gown, Zhang Daniu was taught how to obey the hospital rules, and then sent to the X-ray room.Compared with the psychological shock he received in the emergency room, he didn't feel much during filming, let alone the panic of "looking at the bones".

Anyway, as a wounded person, he was lying on the equipment table, and it was over in a few minutes, and then he was pushed to the ward by the nurse.There were originally two patients in a ward of more than ten square meters, but now there are four in additional beds.

Not only are there many people in the ward, but even the corridors are filled with beds.

With this trick, the number of beds in the hospital soared from twenty to sixty, and they were all full of people within a few days.Had it not been for the medical staff from 'Holy Light', the original German employees would have had to go on strike.

There is heating in the ward, which is far more comfortable than at home in Yanggezhuang.The nurse also brought the sick meal, which included meat and vegetables, and enough rice, it was a fairy life.

Zhang Daniu wolfed down his meal, and only after his stomach rounded did he remember to ask: "How much does it cost me to see a doctor here?"

"Dean Fuhrman's outpatient service is ten yuan, and hospitalization is ten yuan a day. What medicine do you take? The price of many medicines is more expensive than the hospitalization fee." A patient next to him came in early, and gave Zhang Daniu a laugh. Confused.

Hearing 'ten yuan ten yuan', Zhang Daniu's mind exploded.He suddenly sat up from the hospital bed, and said anxiously: "So expensive? I can't afford it even if I sell it!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, you can live in this ward to enjoy the blessing." The patient who came first was happy, "It doesn't cost money, the official will pay for it. We just eat and drink, and recuperate with peace of mind."

Zhang Daniu couldn't believe it, and asked the patient next to him, "Brother, why did you come in?"

"Hey, didn't the city government set up some urban construction company a few days ago. I saw a lot of money, so I went to ask for a job. As a result, I broke my foot on the first day of work.

I originally thought it was over, I didn't earn any money and paid a sum of medical expenses.

The person who didn't want to be an official was quite righteous, and sent me to the hospital, where I was served with good food and drink.Comfortable, I wish I could get hurt more seriously! "

The patient who came first had a smug look on his face.

Zhang Daniu touched the soft bedding, looked at the white lime walls, the transparent glass windows and the hot heater, it was also like a dream.

He lowered his voice and asked the patient who came first: "If you can eat and drink without spending money when you are injured, wouldn't everyone want to have an arm or a leg broken?"

"Who said no?!"

"An official can do things that lose money?"

"Never mind him. There are fools who are willing to send someone to serve me, sir. It's not for nothing." The patient who came first was full of oil and gas, and his expression was that of a street ruffian.

This person may have looked for work because he had no money in hand, but he got lucky instead.

Zhang Daniu was worried.He is a peasant at the bottom and has been oppressed by the government for a long time.It would be good if the old man didn't come to trouble him, and it would be unthinkable to take advantage of the old man.

Seeing the sick ruffian humming a song to pass the time contentedly, Zhang Daniu felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, fearing that something bad might happen.Just thinking about the hospitalization fee of ten yuan a day makes him frown.

This is a debt that can't be repaid even with many usury loans. How can the poor have such a life? !

In the afternoon, Fuhrman came to the ward, looked at a few patients, chatted with a smile, and especially told Zhang Daniu to have an operation at night, and comforted him not to be nervous.

As for the ruffian patient, he couldn't stop smiling when he saw foreigners. He first praised Fuhrman's good Chinese, then praised the hospital nurses for their kindness, and finally praised Germany for being strong and Europe invincible.

But Fuhrman shook his head and said proudly: "I was an American before, but now I am a Chinese, and I have devoted myself to the glorious cause of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. I can be white-hearted, and don't call me a foreign devil in the future."

Zhang Daniu and the ruffian patient seemed to be dumbfounded by this, they didn't understand and felt very powerful.

As soon as Fuhrman left, another thin foreigner wearing a blue hat and black leather coat came to the ward.

This person didn't have a smiling face when they met, and he spoke coldly. He took out a badge with a sword and shield logo and shook it.He can speak fluent Chinese, the first sentence is...

"I'm Ye Ruofu from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I'm in charge of conducting background checks on the targets of the next stage of media propaganda. I have some questions, and I hope you can answer them truthfully."

Zhang Daniu was the first to be questioned. He was stared at by the blue eyes of foreigners, sweating all over his body, and stammered his answers.

Ye Ruofu asked him where he was, how many people in his family, what he did for a living, who were his friends on weekdays, why he was injured, and so on.

After asking for half an hour, Zhang Daniu calmed down instead.He found that although the foreigner had a straight face, he was not malicious, just chatting.He also has nothing to say, after all, a farmer in the suburbs has no secrets to hide.

At most, he was talking about his injury, Zhang Daniu scratched his head in embarrassment, and said that he didn't listen to the foreman's persuasion, and wanted to watch the excitement because he was too close to the explosion point on the construction site, which caused him to be hit by Beng Fei's stone.

"Very good." Ye Ruofu made a comprehensive record, and said to Zhang Daniu: "You are an ordinary person, you should learn a lesson, you can be a model of safety education, and it is also a case of the government caring for the masses."

After recording Zhang Daniu, Ye Ruofu came to ask the sick number of the ruffian next to him.

The latter was flattering and flattering at first, trying his best to get close to the foreigner in leather in front of him.But Ye Ruofu kept his face straight and asked the same question.

The ruffian patient began to answer very quickly, obviously he had a plan in mind.But when Ye Ruofu asked more and more questions, especially when it came to friends, making a living, and daily interactions, he began to hem and haw, and it took him a long time to answer.

Zhang Daniu was questioned for half an hour, and the ruffian patient was questioned for an hour and it was not over yet.

Ye Ruofu was obviously very interested in this person's social relationship, he pressed questions bit by bit, dug deep, never let go of any details, and repeatedly questioned his inconsistencies.

The sick ruffian was soon sweating profusely, but he was exposed to the power of foreigners, so he dared not answer, and tried to hide it but was exposed from time to time.

During the questioning process, the nurses of the hospital entered the ward and sent Zhang Daniu to the operating room.Fuhrman had already put on his gloves and surgical gown, and was standing beside the operating table laughing.

Zhang Daniu had no feelings for Ye Ruofu who was wearing a blue hat and leather jacket, but he was inexplicably afraid of this elderly foreign man.Especially when I saw the knives, pliers, tweezers, saws and so on next to the operating table, I was even more frightened.

Fuhrman's smile is disconcerting.Wearing a mask, he said, "Don't worry, boy, thanks to science. We now have chloroform and curamine for anesthesia and muscle relaxation, and you won't be in too much pain."

It's okay not to say this, Zhang Daniu is even more nervous.He also remembered that the foreign old man wanted to "look at the bones", and he felt as if he had fallen into the den of ogres.

The anesthesiologist was too nervous to see the patient, so he put on a breathing mask for Zhang Daniu and used ether to relax him.After a while, the latter became dizzy and was anesthetized.

Waiting for Zhang Daniu to wake up again, it was already the next morning.He opened his eyes and looked around, only to find that his injured leg was in a plaster cast and was hanging from the ceiling.

This is already back to the ward, but the bed where the ruffian patient slept was changed.

When the nurse came to round the room and deliver lunch, Zhang Daniu boldly asked, "Where is the person in the next bed? It was the one who chatted with me yesterday."

"The guy next to you?" The nurse curled her lips and said calmly: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs took him away. It is said that he is suspected of being a reactionary society. He will be interrogated. Anyway, it is out of our control."

Chapter 13 Interrogation

Imperial Capital, No. 14 East Chang'an Avenue, office address of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

When Zhang Daniu was undergoing surgery, the vice minister Ye Ruofu drove the car himself, handcuffed the sick ruffian who had injured his leg on the construction site, and sent him here in handcuffs.

The vehicle did not enter the building of the Ministry of the Interior, but drove into a two-story bungalow nearby.

The gate is very narrow, the wall of Luoxue is not high, and the appearance is not good.Apart from a house number outside the guard room, there is not even a department logo.Outsiders passing by have no idea who lives here.

The sick ruffian was escorted out of the car and looked at the empty yard.He was limping on one leg, struggling and twisting his arm, shouting 'Why grab me? ''What is this place? '

Two soldiers wearing blue hats with guns on their backs twisted the ruffian patient's arm vigorously.Ye Ruofu whispered after getting out of the car: "This guy is a gang member, he knows a lot of things, send him to the interrogation department."

Regarding the ruffian patient, Ye Ruofu also explained: "This is the Political Security Bureau under the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Our duty is to remove rotten flesh from the body of the Republic. And you are rotten flesh."

The sick ruffian couldn't understand, but facing Ye Ruofsen's cold blue eyes, his heart felt chilly.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is a subordinate unit of the State Council of the Republic, and the Minister is Martha.It is nominally led by Qin Qing, but is actually an independent kingdom.

After the 'Holy Light' descends, the first thing to do is to survive and maintain the country's stability.When they find that their own regime has internal and external troubles and may be overthrown at any time, everyone in the team has a strong will to crisis.

In China in 1910, the society was full of profiteers, compradors, gangsters, clan forces, illegal churches, speculators, radical revolutionary parties, and greedy officials colluding internally and externally.

The corrupt forces are deeply intertwined, flooding the entire country, and the voice of the central government cannot be heard anywhere.It is not enough to reverse it without relying on strong means. The need to transform society is extremely urgent.

Due to the lack of manpower in the "Holy Light" team, the Standing Committee simply put the work of police, counter-espionage, and discipline inspection under the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and divided it into four sub-bureaus: political security, economic security, public security, and armed security.

When Zhou Qingfeng went to control the army, he had to coax and persuade the six towns of Beiyang, and he also gave benefits to lure a large number of army leaders to other places.Martha was not so good-tempered when she was in charge of social security, and she was particularly ruthless.

In troubled times, heavy codes are used. Once an arrested person is identified as "resisting the government and endangering society", he will basically be sent to hard labor to squeeze out the last remaining value.

The idea of ​​"resist strictness and go home for the new year" will be crushed by the iron fist of the ruthless dictatorship.

Precisely because the Ministry of Internal Affairs has great power, covering all aspects of society, in order to prevent its backlash, Zhou Qingfeng would visit it from time to time, so as to avoid a lot of unjust, false and wrong cases and create social panic.

When the patient ruffian was sent to the interrogation department, Zhou Qingfeng was listening in an interrogation room.A light was on in the narrow and dark room, illuminating only the suspect's face, exerting invisible mental pressure.

The person being interrogated was a middle-aged woman, wearing a gray jacket, with wooden hairpins on her head, and a slightly plump face.At first glance, this is a market lady, or the housekeeper of a big family, with a bit of status but not too high.

The iron chair bound the hands and feet of the middle-aged woman. She twisted her body and her eyes rolled around.When questioned by the interrogators, she either did not speak, or used slang dialects to pretend to be deaf and dumb, or even abused her.

It was an accident that the woman was caught.

The Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are going to clean up the brothels in the imperial capital, especially the eight major alleys where the dirt is hidden.One is to rescue oppressed women, and the other is to clean up human traffickers and bullies who force girls into prostitution.

Bada Hutong is a well-known entertainment venue in the imperial capital, where nearly a hundred brothels, large and small, operate in it.Celebrities in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China would only exaggerate how elegant prostitution was, but never mentioned the crime behind it.

Considering that there are a large number of hooligans and officials behind the brothel, in order to clean up such social sores, the Ministry of Internal Affairs asked the Ministry of National Defense for help and dispatched several battalions of troops to the town.

Faced with thousands of big soldiers, I didn't expect that some people would dare to resist with guns and try to break through.

It's understandable to say that the Jiangyang bandit who carried the murder case did this.But after the army killed several suspects on the spot, the officers who broke out caught the middle-aged woman.

At that time, four or five thugs fled desperately, and she was the one to protect.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs felt that it had caught a big fish, and immediately took the woman to the Political Security Bureau for interrogation.But the woman either did not speak, or cursed, and did not answer any inquiries.

After two days of questioning, the interrogator still couldn't figure out the specific identity of the woman.But the Ministry of Internal Affairs searched the brothel where the incident happened, and found an altar, ritual utensils, and so-called scriptures.

"Five Sages' Preaching", "Twelve Pairs", "Star Journey Cultivation Record"... It looks like a secret book in a comprehension novel.Zhou Qingfeng came to take a look, and immediately made a judgment.

"It's a member of the 'Yiguandao', and the one under investigation is a missionary branch. There are four or five hard-core believers protecting this woman from escaping. Her identity is definitely not a registration point missionary of the branch, she should be higher."

While speaking, Ye Ruofu knocked on the door outside the interrogation room and came in.He glanced at Zhou Qingfeng who was present, didn't say anything, just let the door open, and let the soldiers push in the captured ruffian.

The ruffian was limping, and he called Qu when he entered the door, saying that he didn't do anything and why was he arrested.But when he saw the middle-aged woman chained to the iron chair, he exclaimed, "Grandma?"

As soon as the words were out of her mouth, the middle-aged woman who had been acting foolishly stared at the door.Even if her face was illuminated by strong light, her eyes were still sharp.The face of an instant is not something that an ordinary woman can have, it must have been formed all the year round.

The sick ruffian immediately stopped talking and made no fuss, but bowed his head instead.

Zhou Qingfeng and Ye Ruofu looked at each other, and their hearts suddenly became clear.The former yelled at the middle-aged woman on the iron chair: "Lu Zhongjie, you were caught, and you still want to hide it?"

'Proficient in language' converted this sentence into Shandong dialect, and the sound of thunder exploded in the interrogation room, shaking people's ears.

The staring middle-aged woman shuddered, and finally showed panic.

Yiguandao was a powerful cult in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.The current so-called No.17 generation leader is called 'Lu Zhong Yi', and his younger sister 'Lu Zhong Jie' is called 'Old Aunt' by believers.

Lu Zhongyi was an illiterate farmer in Jining, Shandong.Yuan Shikai engaged in "small station training" in Tianjin, he went to join the army and became an officer.

15 years ago, Lu Zhongyi retired from the army and went to work in a cult and became the head of Taoism.He has eight major disciples, hundreds of registered masters, and four to five thousand altar masters. His influence spreads throughout Zhili, and hundreds of thousands of believers are under his control.

'Yiguandao' can be described as a typical feudal cult. It is like a net, which not only controls the people at the bottom, but also links officials and the army. Once it gets out of control, it is tantamount to rebellion.
