Chapter 275 Doctors Learn Martial Arts
Xiong Wu arrived at Suzhou Pier last month.
Some time ago, he was training newsboys all over Fujian. Every time he went to a city, he opened a branch of "Surprise", and then hired street children as newsboys. In addition to teaching these newsboys how to sell newspapers, Xiong Wu had another job. It's to train them how to fight against local gangs.
It can be said that Xiong Wu's work is very effective. Now, branches of "Surprise" have been spread across eight prefectures in Fujian. Local newsboy organizations have been formed and they have survived in the city by holding together to keep warm.
After completing the construction of branches in the eight prefectures of Fujian, Xiong Wu was free again. At this time, he received Su Ze's order to go to Suzhou, but he was extremely excited.
So this former backbone of Hongyang Cult and the organizer of Fujian Newsboys Association changed his job again and became the assistant manager of Suzhou Wharf.
Standing on the edge of the pier, Xiong Wu was holding a wooden stick and was making final mobilization.
Peng An stood next to Xiong Wu. He was originally the leader of the newspaper boys in Nanping. Later, Fang Ruolan opened a nursing home in Nanping. Su Ze taught in the nursing home, and Peng An was one of the first students.
After Peng An became literate from the Nanping Nursing Home, he was taken by Xiong Wu and helped Xiong Wu organize newsboy clubs in various places.
"Everyone already knows how to use the stick, right? The iron-clad part should be pointed at the vital part. Don't be soft before the battle. The stick must be held firmly and the force must be ruthless! Don't be afraid of getting hurt. I have sent someone to ask for Dr. Li. !"
The dock workers below raised their iron-clad wooden sticks and echoed loudly.
At this moment, a man from the dock rushed in and shouted: "Those bad guys are coming!"
Xiong Wu immediately shouted: "Brothers, charge!"
The leader of the bad guys who led the men to the dock was named Xue Mingju, who was also in Suzhou City. The youngest son of a silk merchant.
Xue Ju was not the eldest son in the family, so he could not inherit the family's property. The family paid for him to go to school, but he was sent home within three days for beating the teacher.
The family asked him to learn to work as an accountant, but he returned within a month.
From then on, Xue Ju began to wander around Suzhou City and hang out with other children of the same background.
Among them were the sons of minor officials, the sons of small businessmen in the city, and some children who were engaged in various professions in the city.
Last year, Suzhou government called for private groups to form a group to practice fighting against Japanese invaders. Xue Ju and his group formed a blood alliance and formed a gang called the "Xiongjie Gang".
After the Xiongjie Gang was established, it ran rampant in Suzhou City and quickly absorbed another group of gangsters who were idle in the city, and then absorbed the gang members in the city, gradually becoming a gang that ran rampant in Suzhou City.
Naturally, the Xiongjie Gang started the business of collecting protection fees. Shops along the streets of Suzhou were blackmailed by them, demanding protection fees.
Some small traders had no choice but to give in and pay them monthly payments. As the number of Xiongjie Gang increased, the protection fees from these shops alone could no longer satisfy the gang members' food, drink, whoring and gambling.
So under Xue Ju's "righteousness to destroy relatives", the Xiongjie Gang took aim at the silk workshop in Suzhou City.
Xue Ju's own family ran a silk workshop. He first took people to his family's workshop, smashed two looms, and forced his family to "take the lead" in paying the protection fee.
This gang of bad guys began to expand their business to nearby workshops outside Suzhou City, and soon became an organization hated by everyone in Suzhou City.
But when expanding, Xue Ju encountered a hard nut, which was the dock in Suzhou.
The most profitable work on the dock is the labor of transporting, loading and unloading cargo.
Originally, the Xiongjie Gang valued these warriors and wanted to win them over to join the Xiongjie Gang. As long as they "turned over" some income, they would be protected by the Xiongjie Gang family.
But these hard-working dock workers didn't accept this at all, and they clashed with the Xiongjie Gang.
That time Xue Ju also led the team. Because the commotion was too big, people from both sides were imprisoned in the Yamen.
That conflict ended with the intervention of the Yamen, but the Xiongjie Gang still could not crack the hard nut of Suzhou Wharf.
Because of this strong backbone, some people in the city are also resisting and are still unwilling to pay protection fees.
This time Xue Ju entangled 300 backbone members of the gang. They held various weapons in their hands just to capture the Suzhou Pier.
Although there were only about 200 Pier Lifus, and the Xiongjie Gang had the upper hand in terms of numbers, these Pier Lifus all had a determined spirit and were familiar with the terrain. Xue Ju was also a little frightened.
But if this hard nut is not broken, there will be more resisters. Xue Ju has been fighting bravely on the streets since he was a child, and he understands this truth deeply.
Just as Xue Ju led everyone towards the dock area, Xiong Wu had already led people to ambush on the roadside.
Xiong Wu said to the people around him, "Do you know how to fight?"
"Yes!"
Xiong Wu nodded. Before he followed Su Ze, he was the leader of Luohan Jiao, and he was the best at street fighting.
Later, he followed Changning Wei and learned some methods of commanding operations.
The people of Fujian are aggressive. When Xiong Wu ran a newspaper in the eight prefectures of Fujian, he often led newsboys to compete for territory and accumulated rich combat experience.
Compared with the weak newsboys, these dock workers are all strong and specially accept orders. Xiong Wu knows that this time he is safe!
Sure enough, these gangsters from the Xiongjie Gang were no match for Pier Lifu who had been trained by the organization.
As soon as they met, the formation was disrupted by a frontal attack arranged by Xiong Wu.
Seeing that the formation of the Xiongjie Gang was in chaos, Xiong Wu immediately took the lead and rushed out from the flank ambush, and suddenly plunged into the flank of the Xiongjie Gang.
At this time, the results of Xiong Wu's training are reflected. Although the weapons of the Xiongjie Gang are better and even have some blades, when fighting closely on the streets, the iron-clad short stick is obviously more effective.
There is not much structure on both sides of this kind of street fight. Usually, there are many people rushing in and beating them randomly. Short iron-covered sticks are hit on the arms and legs. The enemy is quickly knocked down, and then the people around him go up to mend the sticks. He can bring someone down very quickly.
Moreover, street fights are not battlefield fights. To put it bluntly, both parties are ordinary people and would not dare to swing their swords vigorously.
If someone is really beaten to death and is sued for life, it will be difficult to handle.
In contrast, there was no blood when being hit with a short stick wrapped in iron. Everyone was beaten with sticks anyway. If a lawsuit involving human life happened, the law would not be held accountable. Even if it was a murderer, it would be impossible to figure out who hit him.
Xiong Wu's route number was also the third route. In addition to everyone being equipped with iron-clad short sticks, Lifu, who was facing the front, also had lime in his hands.
Just sprinkled with a handful of lime, the gang members placed in the front row by Xue Ju instantly lost their fighting ability, and then were beaten with sticks and let out bursts of wailing.
Xue Ju, who was standing in the middle, had never seen such a posture before. In the past, the Xiongjie Gang relied on the large number of people to walk sideways in Suzhou City, but it was still incomparable to desperadoes like Xiong Wu.
Moreover, Pier Lifu is guarding his own terminal, so he will naturally have more morale when fighting than the Heroes Association.
In less than two-quarters of an hour, the ground was already filled with members of the Xiongjie Gang. Xue Ju was frightened out of his courage, and he immediately rushed out of the dock with the backbone of his men.
At this time, Li Shizhen appeared at the gate of the pier with a group of apprentices and Su Ze.
There were more than 20 people around Xue Ju. They were afraid when they saw Pier Lifu in a bunt, but they were not afraid when they saw Li Shizhen and Su Ze in a scholar's robe.
Xue Ju shouted viciously: "Get out of the way! If you don't get out of the way, I'll beat you to death!"
Xiong Wu saw Xue Ju and his men running away and bumped into Su Ze. He was far away from the exit of the pier and had no time to rescue him, so he immediately Shouted:
"Mr. Su, be careful!"
The apprentice behind Li Shizhen was also scared and held his head. Li Shizhen, who was rushed towards by Xue Ju, was not panic at all. He picked up the oil paper umbrella at hand. The weather in Suzhou is rainy in April, so she always carries an umbrella with her when traveling. Li Shizhen took out the umbrella and suddenly pulled it towards Xue Ju's neck.
I only saw the umbrella pulling out the afterimage and hitting Xue Ju's carotid artery. Xue Ju didn't even cry out and just fainted on the ground.
Su Ze glanced at Li Shizhen. He was also holding an umbrella. He used the umbrella as a knife and quickly chopped down a member of the Xiongjie gang who rushed over.
However, the umbrella in Su Ze's hand also fell apart. Su Ze picked up the machete in the gang member's hand and chopped down another gang member.
Su Ze kept his hands measured and didn't chop at the vital parts. These gang members had long been discouraged and were not Su Ze's enemies in one round at all.
Li Shizhen held an umbrella in his hand and used the same method to knock out another person.
[Cut down the enemy, sword skills +10, Lv3, 80/300]
[Chop down the enemy leader, sword skills +20, Lv3, 100/300]
. . .
When Xiong Wu and his men came over, half of the twenty or so people who followed Xue Ju to break out were chopped to the ground, and the rest threw away their weapons and surrendered.
Su Ze was still a little unsatisfied. If he could chop down a few more, he might be able to upgrade his sword skills to Level 4.
Should I hire a nurse with excellent sword skills to practice at home? It's also good to spend a skill and attribute point for free.
Su Ze put down the knife and said to Li Shizhen: "I didn't expect Mr. Binhu's martial arts to be so superb."
Li Shizhen stroked his beard and said: "This is not a martial arts, it's just a medical skill. There are large meridians on both sides of a person's neck. After a heavy blow, the blood and energy can be blocked. The brain is the master of the internal organs. If the blood and energy in the brain are blocked, it will naturally lead to fainting."
Li Shizhen simply used Xue Ju who fell to the ground as a model and began to explain the operation of human meridians to the apprentices behind him. picture.
Xiong Wu also saw Li Shizhen coming to the dock to treat the doctors, but he didn't expect that this gentle and gentle doctor would be so aggressive.
Su Ze said: "Divine Doctor Li is traveling all over the country alone. What can he do without any skills? Has the problem of the Xiongjie Gang been solved?"
Xiong Wu immediately said with a smile: "There must be no problem now. After this battle, they will definitely not dare to You're causing trouble for us again."
Su Ze nodded and said, "No lives were lost, right?"
Xiong Wu licked his face and said, "Whether there is a loss of lives depends on the ability of Divine Doctor Li, right?" "
You send someone . , go to Suzhou County Yamen to report to the official, and then take my letter of greeting to the magistrate's Yamen to find Mr. Xu Shixing."
"Understood!"
"Have you found a lawyer?"
"Still looking for a lawyer?"
Su Ze said with a sneer. : "They broke things on the dock, shouldn't they ask a lawyer to claim compensation?" "
Those who have surrendered and are not injured will be held in the dock warehouse and each person will be ransomed for five taels of silver." "
If no one comes to deliver the ransom. , let them work at the dock and let them go after making enough money."
Xiong Wuxi said with a smile: "Okay! We are familiar with this! I did this when I kidnapped people in Jiangxi!"
Su Ze glanced at , Xiong Wu immediately said: "Mr., I made a mistake."
Su Ze ignored this living treasure, and together with Li Shizhen and their apprentices began to treat the wounded.
Most of the injuries on the Pier Lifu side are skin injuries, which can be simply disinfected and bandaged.
Li Shizhen started from Su Ze's "Gu theory". Although he did not create a higher-precision microscope to see bacteria, he also put forward a theory of bacterial infection.
Therefore, the disinfection method of high-temperature steaming gauze was also proposed.
Clean the sore, rinse it with distilled water, and wrap it with clean gauze.
Or because the price of alcohol is too high, and high-grade alcohol can only be prepared in Eunuch Hu’s laboratory, so there is no way to promote it.
However, Su Ze has written in detail the production techniques of several kinds of wine in the upcoming "Tiangong Kaiwu". When more wineries are built, high-strength spirits that can sterilize may appear.
This is why Su Ze did not hesitate to write this "secret recipe" in a book and publish it.
Only when a wider range of people participate, will the price of a commodity decrease, more commodities will appear, and the market will prosper.
And when an industry is profitable, more smart people will participate in it to improve processes and increase production efficiency.
Su Ze has figured out that he cannot complete technological innovation by himself, so it is better to publish all these technologies.
Jiangnan itself was already the most developed industrial and commercial area in the Ming Dynasty, and also the area with the highest literacy rate in the Ming Dynasty. This is why Su Ze promoted "Tiangong Kaiwu" here.
As long as the fire is spread out, maybe one day a craftsman will think of giving new power to the textile machine.
The emergence of more categories of industries will also solve many technical problems.
Su Ze believed that with the size and talent of the Ming Dynasty, industrial changes might break out faster than in the West, and when productivity changes, Su Ze would be full of wings.
Seeing the apprentices at Li Shizhen Medical Center, who were in a panic at the beginning, gradually began to work together to treat the wounded, and saw the chaotic dock gradually returning to order, Su Ze smiled.
At this moment, a scolding came from the door, and a dozen government officials with fierce faces rushed into the dock.
"If a crowd gathers to fight, all of them will be detained!"
These are the officials from Suzhou County. They all waited until the fight was over before arriving belatedly.
Su Ze stood up, and Xiong Wu immediately went over and handed Su Ze's name card.
The leading yamen officer immediately changed his expression. Su Ze was very famous in Suzhou Prefecture. He was also a high-ranking official and had a rich background.
The leading yamen servant said quickly: "It turns out that it was Mr. Su who was rude and rude in person."
At this time, Xu Shixing, who was riding a horse, also came to the pier. When he saw the son of the prefect Xu's family, the yamen servant lowered his head.
Su Ze pointed at Xue Ju and others who were unconscious on the ground and said: "These are the leaders of the thieves. Please take them to prison as soon as possible." "
Understood! Mr. Su!"
Su Ze said coldly: "These thieves cannot be let go casually. Come on, I have hired a lawyer and asked them to compensate for the damage to the dock."
The officer looked around blankly. These people were beaten to death at the entrance of the pier. What loss did your pier suffer?
However, the leading government official quickly assured: "The county government must be optimistic about these guys! They will definitely not indulge themselves."
