Anti-Qing: Starting from the Jintian Uprising

Chapter 422 Name Change
Hearing this, Song Shi couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Song Kangnian glared at his son fiercely before continuing.

"It's okay for poetry."

"She is obedient and sensible, and can take care of herself even if she stays in Qufu."

"What about you?"

"You didn't even finish your homework right under my nose!"

"If I really leave you alone in Qufu, you naughty monkey will poke a hole in the sky, right?"

Song Kangnian seemed to be asking his son and niece just now.

But to be frank, the question was only about my niece.

As for the son?
Song Kangnian had already made the decision to keep him by his side and teach him all the time.

This little tree was originally showing signs of growing crooked. If he didn't keep an eye on it, it would definitely grow into a crooked tree.

This can't happen!

When Song Ci heard this, his face looked as if he had lost his parents.

Song Kangnian continued.

"The court has issued a notice that the first group from Shandong will set off next month at the latest. I will also have to go with the team and take a boat to Denglai to the outside of the Great Wall."

"We need to prepare in advance at home and buy some clothes, medicines and other supplies."

"Otherwise, when we get outside the Great Wall, I'm afraid there won't be anywhere to buy these things."

"Well, let Shi'er do this."

Song Ci heard this and raised his hand.

"Father, father, I want to go too."

Song Kangnian glanced at his son, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

"also!"

But he still instructed his niece.

"Shi'er, remember to keep an eye on this kid."

"Don't let him buy random things."

"Uncle, my salary is not much, and I can't afford to spend it recklessly."

It is obvious that Song Kangnian is still worried about his son.

Upon hearing this, Song Shi nodded vigorously.

"Don't worry, uncle. I understand!"

As he spoke, Song Shi gave his brother a sympathetic but helpless expression.

……

Beijing, Old Summer Palace!

Kyushu Qingyan!

Li Yi was reviewing government affairs when Zhang Zhidong came forward to report.

"Your Majesty, Director Wu of the Institute of Pharmacology is outside seeking an audience."

As he spoke, Zhang Zhidong handed a report in his hand to Li Yi.

Li Yi took the report and started flipping through it.

Soon, he raised his eyebrows and said.

"Bring people in!"

As soon as Li Yi finished speaking, Zhang Zhidong clasped his fists and left.

Not long after, he came back, followed by a fat middle-aged man with a friendly smile.

This middle-aged man is named Wu Zhengqi, and he is the head of Datang’s Pharmaceutical Research Institute.

Well, although he looks very kind, he is actually a very cruel and ruthless character.

It was he who made and handled the decision to use the Eight Banners prisoners to test the immature medicines.

You know, in the Tang Dynasty’s pharmaceutical research institute, there were quite a few people who died or were injured while testing drugs.

The guy in front of me with a friendly face actually has blood on his hands.

"Your Majesty, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long, long live the emperor!"

Wu Zhengqi entered Jiuzhou Qingyan, came to Li Yi in the main hall, and bowed respectfully.

Li Yi nodded slightly and then said.

"No need to be polite, Mr. Wu."

After Wu Zhengqi stood still, Li Yi continued to ask.

"Mr. Wu, you came here to ask for an audience. Is there any result from the Drug Research Institute?"

Wu Zhengqi heard this and said immediately.

"Your Majesty is right."

"Thanks to your Majesty's instructions, my pharmaceutical research institute has made a breakthrough in the purification and mass production of penicillin."

"Soon, the first batch of drugs will be available."

"In addition, the research institute has also made a breakthrough in the new anesthetic medical morphine and has carried out trial production. The anesthetic and analgesic effects are far superior to the traditional morphine powder."

Hearing this, Li Yi smiled and nodded, looking very satisfied.

"Well done."

The anesthetics used in surgical operations in the Tang Dynasty were not the anesthetics in the traditional sense.

But it is the ancient Ma Fei San!
As for the effect, there is definitely one.

Generally speaking, when doing surgery, a dose of Ma Fei San is given. The patient will still feel pain, but it will not be so painful that he jumps up and runs away.

But it is certainly not as good as medical morphine, which puts the person into a coma immediately after one injection and can only wake up after the operation is over.

So Li Yi was very happy.

After praising, Li Yi continued.

"It's not enough to just develop new drugs, we also need to promote mass production of new drugs as soon as possible."

"In order to recover the R&D costs as soon as possible..."

Li Yi provided corresponding guidance for the work of the Institute of Drugs.

The researchers were rewarded.

Then he waved his hand to signal Wu Zhengqi to leave.

After Wu Zhengqi stepped down, Li Yi continued to handle the government affairs at hand.

Soon, Zhang Zhidong came to report again.

"Your Majesty, the latest news has been sent back from the battlefield outside the pass."

"Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces have surrendered, and the situation in Liaodong has been stabilized..."

As he spoke, Zhang Zhidong handed a military report to Li Yi.

Li Yi took the military newspaper and began to read it.

Immediately, a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

In this way, the situation outside the Great Wall will be stabilized.

Taking a deep breath, Li Yi spoke. "Notify the cabinet that from now on, Fengtian Prefecture will be renamed Shenyang, and Liaoning Province will be established to govern it..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhidong nodded to show that he understood.

Li Yi continued to think. Now that the situation in the Northeast had been stabilized, the next thing to be solved would be the problem on the grassland.

As for the grassland issue, the most important one is Outer Mongolia.

Thanks to the Qing government's control over the grasslands, the so-called Mongolia is no longer what it used to be.

The entire Mongolian grassland is divided into two parts, one is Inner Mongolia and the other is Outer Mongolia.

Although Inner Mongolia is nominally Mongolia, it is actually no different from the inland areas.

The imperial court sent officials to manage the situation.

Outer Mongolia, on the other hand, is still governed by the Mongols.

Among them, Inner Mongolia had been governed by officials sent by the Qing Dynasty for such a long time that most of it had been tamed.

Begin to adapt to the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty!
The fundamental reason why they did not surrender to the Tang Dynasty before was because of the Qing Dynasty.

They will never surrender unless the Qing Dynasty is destroyed.

But now it is different. With the complete destruction of the Qing Dynasty, it is only a matter of time before Inner Mongolia surrenders.

The Tang Dynasty can easily digest them completely!

But Outer Mongolia was different.

They were truly unruly and unruly, and even the Qing Dynasty's rule over them was just in name only.

If the Tang Dynasty wanted to tame them, it would have to use some military means.

This conflict between the Khorchin tribe and the Chechen Khanate may be an opportunity.

Thinking about these, Li Yi fell into deep thought.

……

Outside the capital, on the official road.

Xingzhen was sitting in a prison van, holding her child in her arms.

As the prison van moved forward, the wheels and axles made a squeaking sound due to friction.

A gust of autumn wind mixed with chill blew, and she and the child in her arms shivered together.

Now, it is September and the weather is starting to get noticeably colder.

As gusts of cold wind blew, Xingzhen's consciousness became a little fuzzy.

Noticing that the prison van had stopped, she subconsciously looked up ahead.

Suddenly, a tall and majestic city gate tower appeared in front of us.

Xingzhen recognized it at a glance; it was the outer city wall of the capital.

Looking at the city wall, Xingzhen felt a little dazed.

She still remembered that when she left the capital, she secretly swore that sooner or later, she would come back here.

Unexpectedly, I did come back, but I came back in this way!

Xingzhen pulled at the shackles on her body, and a flash of visible despair crossed her face.

God doesn’t bless her, and God doesn’t bless the Qing Dynasty!
The prison van continued to squeak forward, and soon it entered the capital city.

The prison van responsible for transporting prisoners of war was heading to the prison under the Ministry of Justice.

The prison van arrived outside the cell and the leading officer stepped forward to carry out the handover procedures.

After completing the formalities, Xingzhen and others were taken out of the prison van and taken to the depths of the prison.

Xingzhen had been sitting cross-legged in the prison van for a long time, and her legs were inevitably numb. After getting off the van, she staggered after taking a few steps.

The next moment, a whip came directly over.

With a snap, the whip hit Xingzhen's back hard.

She felt a sharp pain and her clothes were torn apart by the whip, leaving a blood mark on the skin covered by the clothes.

"what……"

Xingzhen screamed subconsciously.

She had never been treated like this in her life.

Seeing this, the jailer who was wielding the whip sneered.

"Oh, this Tartar woman is quite delicate and tender."

"I haven't even used any strength yet, and she's already screaming so miserably."

"If I use a little more strength, haha..."

Upon hearing this, Xingzhen was angry but dared not say anything, so she could only continue walking forward.

The jailer on the side saw this and continued to ridicule.

"Hey, look at this Tartar woman, she's still not convinced!"

As he spoke, he whipped Xingzhen again without any hesitation.

Xingzhen couldn't help but scream and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the jailer beat him even harder.

After several consecutive whippings, Xingzhen could only beg for mercy.

"I don't dare anymore. I don't dare anymore. Please stop hitting me..."

Several jailers couldn't help but burst into laughter when they heard this.

"Hahahaha!"

Xingzhen, lying on the ground, felt a sense of sadness in her heart.

……

Crimea!

Kerch Fortress!

The Russian troops stationed in Kerch cheered.

"Long live!"

"God bless you, long live the Tsar!"

"Long live the Empire!"

"..."

The reason why these Tsarist Russian soldiers were so excited was very simple.

Because the new weapons they had been waiting for for a long time had finally arrived.

After the Battles of Balaklava, Inkerman, and Sevastopol, Prince Gorchakov, who was appointed to replace Prince Menshikov in command of the Russian army, came to the supply dock at Kerch to personally inspect the newly arrived weapons.

Pulling the bolt, loading the bullets, and touching the solid feel of these weapons, Prince Gorchakov was full of ambition.

"Boys, the weapons and armaments have arrived!"

"It's time for us to fight back!"

"Order the entire army to prepare for battle immediately. Let us teach those damned Anglo-French coalition forces a lesson!"

When Gorchakov said this, the Russian troops in the fortress cheered.

At this moment, everyone felt that victory was within reach!
And through this victory, they will put an end to this damn war!
