The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 394 Testing the medicine?

Jiang Cheng understood it in his heart, but except for him as a time traveler, no one knew what these small medicine bottles in front of him were.

Especially when the doctors took out the glass syringes, the ordinary people present, who had never seen the world, looked at each other in surprise.

What is this?
I heard from the adults that these are medicines to treat our illnesses?
But these ragged civilians stared at the small glass bottles with their eyes fixed, their hearts beating fast.

Although concentrating the patients in the quarantine area can isolate the germs from the normal people in the city...but at the same time, all the rumors, big and small, in the city are also gathered together.

There was a rumor circulating in Changchun City before, saying that General Jiang was cooperating with foreigners and specifically looking for poor people to try their medicines.

Some said that these drugs were made by Governor Jiang in cooperation with foreigners, and that they would make a lot of money in the future...but because the drugs were newly made, their efficacy was unknown, so they needed to find someone to try them out;

The most outrageous rumor was that a young master in the upper echelons was seriously ill and wanted to collect drug data from patients for this young master to use...

Now, the adults actually took out the "medicine" to treat their illnesses?
Looking back at the expressions of fear, suspicion, retreat, etc. on the civilians under his rule, Jiang Cheng smiled.

He had actually heard these rumors before, but after hearing a few of them, he became numb.

The foreigners don't have this advanced thing called penicillin yet - and he has been planning this epoch-making antibiotic for almost two years.

Especially when Zhang Tinghui, a pharmacist who returned from China, joined the team, he asked someone to bring a few from Siping and asked the third sister to do pharmacological experiments.

You can imagine how excited and eager the third sister was after she verified the medicinal properties of this thing;
She was so happy that she almost hugged Jiang Cheng and turned around a few times... After all, in her eyes, this brother-in-law was once a vulgar and uneducated warlord. She never thought that he had such ability and could come up with such a good medicine that could kill people instantly.

Zhang Tinghui knew, but everyone, including Zhang Tinglan, had no idea about the medicine that appeared before them.

Can this yellow powder cure diseases?

"Come on, who's going first?"

Jiang Cheng waved his hand decisively, his eyes calm but firm, "After you finish using this medicine today, you will be able to leave the quarantine area in three to five days at most."

He was definitely not bragging. In the Republic of China where drug resistance did not exist at all, tens of thousands of units of homemade penicillin could completely kill the bacteria in the human body.

The big tent suddenly fell silent, and no one wanted to be the first to try something new.

People looked at each other, each showing an extremely hesitant expression.

"Hurry up! Master Jiang has taken care of your food and drink, and now he has taken out the best medicine to treat your illness. Why are you still hesitating? Don't you want to go home earlier?"

Zhang Fushan was getting a little impatient. He raised his military cap and put his hands on his waist and shouted, "Everyone in the quarantine area needs to take medicine... You guys are all dilly-dallying. How long will the doctors take?"

As he spoke, Jiang Cheng had already begun directing the doctors and nurses to prepare penicillin for the glass syringes.

"I won't! Master Jiang... I, I'm already fine, can you please stop doing that to me, I..."

A man in the corner of the tent was the first to shout, and he grabbed the quilt and covered himself from head to toe.

He was trembling all over as he shouted in fear. The patients in the tent were infected by his emotion and said in fear that they did not want to take the medicine and asked Mr. Jiang to let them go now, saying that they could recover on their own when they returned.

Zhang Fushan had a good temper among his classmates who graduated from the Military Academy. But seeing that they were unwilling to take medicine and even threatened to kill them, he got angry and turned around and shouted at the soldiers to come up and hold them down and take off their pants. "Wait!"

Jiang Cheng suddenly stopped him.

If this is really done, more rumors will probably spread, which will not help Changchun in fighting the epidemic at all.

Besides, it's right in front of Japanese territory. If he really makes a big fuss, wouldn't he be laughed at by the Japanese?
"Jiang doesn't want to force you all... I can only say that with my identity and background, do I need to embarrass you all?"

"The people of Changchun City and even the entire Jilin are under my rule—"

"If I really intended to harm you, would I have arranged such good conditions for the quarantine area? Think about it yourself, what are the conditions for food and drink every day?"

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you all. What we eat and drink is better than those of my brothers!"

After these words were spoken, the people who were originally excited quickly calmed down.

Yes, since moving into the quarantine area, we have had fine grains to eat every day, and eggs or meat every now and then... People who came to the quarantine area for treatment not only did not starve, but most of them even gained a lot of weight.

In this spring when there is a shortage of food, it is normal to go hungry... The warlord not only did not let them starve, but also made sure they ate well.

"This……"

While everyone was stunned, the father of the girl with the long braids suddenly stood up with difficulty: "Master Jiang - please give it to us first! I didn't say anything. If it weren't for your soldiers who saved me that day, I, Yang Fuchang, would have died!"

"You saved my life, so I'll let you give it a try!"

After saying this, his daughter Yang Shan became anxious, but before she could stop him, the man stumbled forward and completed the injection in front of everyone's shock.

"Come on, who's next?"

The doctor waved his hand at them, "Hurry up - can Master Jiang harm you? Look at all the food, drinks and shelter you have, all of which are paid for by Master? Are you spending all this money just to harm others?"

After the first attempt, people’s resistance suddenly decreased a lot.

Jiang Cheng nodded and smiled at Yang Fuchang, and then said to him: "Take good care of it, and when you return home, plant your land well... and live a good life!"

He rubbed his still sore buttocks and was about to kneel in front of Jiang Cheng again, but the young commander-in-chief waved his hand and turned to leave.

But Yang Shan wiped away the tears of fear, ran up to Jiang Cheng, knelt down and kowtowed: "Master! You are really the living Bodhisattva written in the books, the father and mother official! I, I... I don't know how to thank you. When Xiao Shan goes back, I will definitely erect a longevity monument for you in the temple, and wish you a long life of a hundred years and longevity!"

This "simple blessing" from the general public made Jiang Cheng feel an unprecedented warmth.

He turned around, bent down and helped the girl up himself: "Alright, alright, go back and take care of your father! If you want to thank him in the future, when your family grows some good vegetables and melons, you can send some to the wives of the governor's mansion!"

Yang Shan sobbed twice, lowered her head, said a few words of thanks, said goodbye and went back to the tent.
