Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 758 The advent of penicillin

As he was speaking, a medical officer with the rank of colonel came out from inside.Several generals surrounded him immediately, asking questions non-stop, so that the medical officer didn't know who to answer first.Zhang Zuolin stopped them talking and asked, "How is Fang Zhen's situation?"

The medical officer shook his head, his tone trembling: "I'm afraid it won't work, the root cause of the disease in the commander-in-chief's body was buried a few years ago, and it was not a serious problem when it was discovered as soon as possible, but now, it is too late, we have tried our best. "

These words hit the generals like a bolt from the blue.In an instant, these senior generals who regarded life and death as nothing on the battlefield were all ashen and dazed.

"Is there no hope at all?" Chen Jitang asked with a trembling voice holding the last ray of hope: "Doctor, no matter what, we must save the commander-in-chief's life. I beg you, Old Chen!"

Zhang Zuolin pushed the medical officer away, kicked open the door, and rushed in. Behind him, the generals squeezed in one by one.

Jiang Baili was lying on the bed very calmly. Although his face was as pale as gold paper, there was a faint smile on his mouth, "Marshal Zhang is here too, so everyone is worried. It seems that I may not be able to make it." It’s really sad that a soldier didn’t die on the battlefield.”

"It's okay, Fang Zhen." Zhang Zuolin looked at Jiang Baili's extremely haggard look, and wanted to comfort him, but suddenly found that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Jiang Baili stopped him with a smile: "There is no need to say words of consolation, Commander, please help me fulfill my last wish. After I leave, General Zhang Xiaozhun will be in charge of the general military operations, and General Bonan will be in charge of the war in Afghanistan. Plan. Before the person who takes over my position arrives, it is best not to announce the news of my death in the army. None of the doctors who treat me are allowed to leave here for the time being. Anyone who leaks the news will be severely punished. If after six days The person to replace me has not yet arrived, the 'Bamiyan' plan started on time, if my guess is correct, the successor must be General Feng Yuxiang, whose talent and ability are far superior to mine"

There were sobs in the room, and these tough men let tears fall from the corners of their eyes. Their commander-in-chief, at this moment, was still concerned about the battle ahead.

"It's a pity that God can't give me a few more years." Jiang Baili murmured, his eyes were a little lax at this time: "I can't let me see with my own eyes the majesty of China's majesty in the world, and I can't see it It is a pity for Fang Zhen that the dragon army is in the world."

Zhang Zuolin couldn't bear to watch this kind of scene any longer, and stomped out of the room.

Chen Cheng quietly wiped away his tears, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said vigorously: "Commander-in-Chief, your illness is definitely fine, please analyze the future war for us." In fact, he is not I really want to hear that this general, who has experienced too much life and death on the battlefield, knows that letting a dying person keep talking may be able to prolong his life.

Sure enough, Jiang Baili became a little more energetic when he heard this: "My judgment is that after the war in the Middle East, the Dragon Army will not have any major military operations within one to two years. The military strength of the Soviet Union is growing rapidly. , and their troops continue to move frequently on the Sino-Soviet border. I judge that China and the Soviet Union will have a war within a few years, and Europe, from my understanding of Britain and France, they cannot fight a protracted war. Even if China does not want to intervene, it must intervene in the war in Europe. The world must be in Europe, but this is not an easy task. There are many European powers, and the overall strength is still very terrible. Once they unite to deal with China, it will be very difficult. hard bones."

"Commander-in-Chief, which troops from the empire do you think Beijing will send to Europe?" Chen Jitang interjected and asked, "Our troops are now the closest to Europe. After conquering the Middle East, the road to Europe will be opened, and we will go on an expedition to Europe." The heavy responsibility belongs to us, right?"

Jiang Baili smiled and shook his head: "At present, the empire has four major expeditionary military forces. I think General Feng Yuxiang's troops swept across Southeast Asia, and General Li Zongren's troops hoarded heavy troops in the Northeast and Mongolia. Our legions are all over India, and only the general's troops have always been There is no mission. By this year, he will be the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest Military Region, and the number of troops has reached more than 50, and it will reach 80 in the first half of next year. Moreover, he has eight of the twenty armored regiments in the empire. So I think The mission of the European expedition must be completed by him. Our legion will be a reserve force ready to support at any time and take on the task of stabilizing the rear and monitoring the enemy. This person is the youngest general among all the generals in the empire, but But he is a war genius, this person seems to be born for war, even for large-scale wars, and almost no young general can surpass him."

Having said that, Jiang Baili's breath obviously weakened, and his breathing became more and more rapid. Then he opened his mouth, and blood spewed out of his mouth one after another.

"Doctor! Doctor!" The generals in the room were in a mess, shouting frantically.

When he was in a panic, he saw the sound of footsteps outside the house, Zhang Zuolin strode into the house, stared and shouted at the generals in the room: "What the hell are you panicking about, Jiang Baili is not dead yet! Fucking scars!" Get out of here!" While talking, two foreign doctors came out from behind Zhang Zuolin, holding a white medicine box in their hands, hurried to the bedside, opened the medicine box and took out the stethoscope, very seriously, for Jiang Baili Check the condition.People didn't dare to disobey Zhang Zuolin's order, and walked out of the house one by one in despair, but their hearts were still uneasy, and they all stood at the door and looked inside anxiously.

After a serious examination, the foreign doctors whispered to each other, quickly took out a glass needle tube and a few small white glass bottles from the medicine box, diluted the medicine, and used a tampon dipped in alcohol to spray Jiang Baili A dab on his buttocks drove the needle into his skin.

Zhang Zuolin and the people outside the house watched the situation on the bed silently, everyone held their breath, as if even time stopped at this moment!

As the medicine was injected into Jiang Baili's body little by little, Jiang Baili's brows suddenly trembled a few times, and there was a slight sound from his mouth. After about 2 minutes, there was no movement at all.

Chen Jitang couldn't bear his temper and shouted loudly: "Commander-in-Chief!"

Zhang Zuolin turned his head and gave Chen Jitang a hard look, and Chen Jitang immediately swallowed the following words back.

After the injections, the two doctors performed a careful auscultation on Jiang Baili, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and packed the medicine box in a leisurely manner.Zhang Zuolin rushed over and asked in a low voice, "How's the situation?"

The doctor nodded and said, "Fortunately, it's more timely. The patient has already fallen asleep."

Zhang Zuolin let out a long breath, with a smile on his face, pointed at the sleeping Jiang Baili and cursed: "Damn, you have a scar, you, Jiang Fangzhen, have tormented everyone this time, even the emperor is thinking about it. "

Zhang Zuolin came to the generals with a smile, and said, "Don't be so sad, you bastards, Jiang Fangzhen will be cursed to death by you boys."

Chen Jitang was about to cry, and begged, "Commander, tell me how the commander-in-chief is doing."

"It's okay, let's do whatever we need to do." Zhang Zuolin went out of the house while talking, and the two foreign doctors still stayed in the house for further observation and treatment of Jiang Baili.

A group of people surrounded Zhang Zuolin, who were excited and talked to each other. Chen Cheng smiled and said, "The commander-in-chief has a way. Seeing that the situation is not good, he immediately moved in the heavenly soldiers and generals."

"What kind of heavenly soldiers and generals? Before I came here, I ordered people to invite these two German doctors from Shanghai Union Medical College Hospital. I just arrived on a military plane. The Germans are not good at fighting, but their medical treatment is world-class. You didn't see it just now." Well, after one injection, Fang Zhen will be fine."

Zhang Xiaozhun hurriedly asked: "What panacea did they use, it really brought the dead back to life."

Zhang Zuolin smiled and said, "You don't even know if you tell me, this stuff is called penicillin."

Chen Jitang smacked his tongue and said, "I'll buy some of such a good medicine later on. In case of a serious illness, wouldn't everything be resolved with just one injection?"

Zhang Zuolin spat and said, "This thing is more precious than gold, and you can't buy it no matter how rich you are. Currently, only the Royal Hospital of England and Shanghai Union Medical College Hospital have it, and it's only available to the royal family. The emperor personally delivered this medicine." The decree is coming."

No matter what, the commander-in-chief was finally out of danger, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Next, Zhang Zuolin ordered Jiang Baili to stay in India for the time being. War, "Bamiyan" plan time remains unchanged.

In Beijing, Guan Xuqing heard that Jiang Baili was out of danger, so he let go of his heart. It seemed that he was about to use troops against Afghanistan, and his heart became more and more relaxed.After reviewing a few papers, he walked to Kunning Palace with little De'an. It was already dark at this time, and before the maids went in to report, he went straight in and couldn't help being taken aback.It turned out that Queen Jingfen and her sister Jingfang were both there.

Jingfen is sitting on the couch, sipping ginseng soup. Jingfang's stomach is already very big at this time, and she is about to give birth in a short time. Even so, she is still kneeling on the ground, her eyes are crying like peaches Like a child, she was crying to her sister about something.When the two of them saw the emperor coming in suddenly, they were both taken aback.Jingfen hurriedly knelt down to receive her, but Jingfang didn't dare to raise her head.After seeing the ceremony, Jingfen stood up and said calmly: "The emperor is here."

"Where did you get it?" Guan Xuqing said with a smile: "I'm really busy today. Seeing that the war is going to happen, I woke up early in the morning and now, I don't even have the time to drink water, and my legs are weak. I'm numb." Looking at Jingfang, he asked again: "Jingfang is here, why are you kneeling here, you are inconvenient, get up quickly"
