Tang Ruowang didn't come to the Marshal's Mansion very often. Over the years, he basically focused on church and missionary matters, and he didn't care much about Li Xiao's affairs.

In his view, since he contributed his own efforts to the unification and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, he should enjoy the rights dividend.

And preaching is the bonus he should enjoy!

Having come all the way from Bavaria to the Ming Empire, the devout Tang Ruowang sincerely wanted to spread the gospel of the Lord here.

Just a pity!

People in the Ming Dynasty didn't seem to believe in his preaching, so he had to focus on medical skills. Using medical skills to preach could get twice the result with half the effort.

It can be said that every time he cures a patient, there will be one more family of believers!

The effect of using medical skills to preach was so good that Tang Ruowang felt that this was the only way he could preach smoothly and effectively.

That's why he studied medical skills so diligently, and even asked his followers to find corpses for dissection.

Anatomy has always been emphasized by Western medicine, but on the contrary, Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, inquiry, and thorough questioning.

Moreover, he has also studied the Huangdi Neijing, which contains very specific descriptions of internal organs.

Tang Ruowang thinks that Chinese medicine practitioners should have dissected corpses in ancient times.

Under the leadership of Shunzi, Tang Ruowang walked into Li Xiao's study.

This is the second time he has come to this study. The last time was to check Li Xiao's body.

"See you, Generalissimo!" Tang Ruowang saluted imitating the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

He has been in the Ming Dynasty for too long, and he knows that this is a country that pays attention to etiquette. No matter how old he is, he must follow the etiquette and laws of the Ming Dynasty.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stay for a whole day.

"Get up! At this age, there is no need to adhere to this etiquette.

"Da Ming Rules" says it well, if you are over seventy, you can go to the Yamen lobby without kneeling, let alone I am not in the Yamen lobby.

sit!"

Li Xiao put down the report in his hand and waved his hand gently, as if he was dusting off dust.

"No!" Tang Ruowang stood up and was asked by Li Xiao to sit down on the sofa.

"How is Marshal's health lately? I originally wanted to check up on you in the past few days."

Li Xiao curled his lips!

This is nonsense. Can’t you check your body today? Besides, Western medicine requires many tools to check your body.

The most important of them is the stethoscope.

This old guy didn't even carry a bag, and the stethoscope was already hung around his neck?

“My body and bones are feeling fine lately!

The weather in the capital is warmer than that in Russia. Moreover, the wind in that damn place in Russia is quite strong.

The medicine called paracetamol that you and Dr. Li studied is very useful. Soldiers on the front line have colds and fevers, and they will be cured after taking this medicine for three or two days.

Speaking of this, I have to thank you on behalf of Daming." Li Xiao nodded politely.

The Ming Empire was able to show off its power in foreign battles, which was also due to the contributions of thousands of military doctors.

Although they are all young men with strong bodies, they are fighting in ice and snow after all, and things like colds and fevers often happen.

The Ming Dynasty's army never lacks medical treatment and medicine, and every officer and soldier at the top and bottom can enjoy very good medical care.

After being injured on the battlefield, they will be quickly sent to a place about two kilometers behind the battlefield.

Then they will be simply bandaged and then returned to the airship landing site five kilometers away.

The airship will take the wounded away from the battlefield. The injured will be sent to a field hospital located more than 100 kilometers behind in less than an hour after being injured.

There are plenty of doctors and nurses there to take care of the sick and wounded.

In battles with few casualties, nurses can even provide one-on-one care.

Excellent battlefield rescue, the proportion of wounded soldiers of the Ming Army returning to the front line reached 80%.

Except for those wounded soldiers who are really disabled, the recovery rate is terrifyingly high.

Only five to eight percent of the sick and wounded eventually died in the hospital. This is completely different from the coalition field hospital known as Satan's Gate.

Tang Ruowang certainly deserves some credit for this. After all, he was also one of the founders when the Capital Military Medical College was established.

Li Xiao still remembers these achievements.

"Uh...! Generalissimo, actually I came here this time to ask for something." Tang Ruowang pondered for a moment, but decided to go straight to the point.

"What's going on?" Li Xiao didn't feel the slightest bit surprised, he just asked indifferently.

"Because of the needs of teaching and research, my congregants went to get some corpses. Now, Shuntian Prefecture said that our congregants stole graves and dug up graves.

And I want to behead my followers in public!

Generalissimo, you know that in order to save more people, we need to conduct dissections on cadavers to better understand the organs of the human body.

We are here to save people, and the dead people are already dead, so...!"

"Those who die are dead, but national customs are different. I have heard of the saying that the body is a rotten body in Buddhist teachings.

But in our Ming Dynasty, the dead are the most important!

The body of the deceased must be treated with full respect, and the remains must not be insulted or desecrated without the consent of the family.

This is a rule that everyone in our Ming Dynasty must abide by!

This first point is different from you in the West!

I know what you are talking about. Liu Zongzhou wrote a special memorial and submitted it.

My approval is handled in accordance with the "Laws of the Ming Dynasty"!

The "Laws of the Ming Dynasty" is the basic law of our country, and everyone must abide by this law.

I think Liu Zongzhou did the right thing. If I did it, I would have the same result.

I'm sorry, Mr. Tang, I can't agree to this." Li Xiao politely refused Tang Ruowang's request.

"This...!" Tang Ruowang asked for a moment.

He didn't expect that Li Xiao would reject him like this.

Moreover, the refusal was so forceful, leaving no room for buffering and negotiation.

"Generalissimo, you know that if you want to improve your medical skills, you must know the shape of internal organs and other organs, as well as the changes that occur in the human body after various diseases.

Anatomy is the only way to see these things intuitively. If you do this, Ming Dynasty's medical skills will not improve.

There will be many diseases for which we have no good treatment methods due to insufficient research.

Moreover, among these patients, you may also be included.

Generalissimo, this is a matter that concerns everyone. Please show mercy and release those believers.

I swear in the name of Jehovah, they will never steal corpses again.

We will give good comfort to the families who lost the bodies, we will give them the highest compensation, and we will use all means to make up for our mistakes.

We will sincerely ask for their forgiveness and use our utmost sincerity to make up for their harm.

Please remember that I have contributed to the Ming Dynasty, and I still have a small amount of merit. Please, Marshal, please spare them."

Tang Ruowang's tone was almost pleading, and his body softened and he knelt down in front of Li Xiao.

Seeing Tang Ruowang's head full of white hair, Li Xiao shook his head helplessly.

I remember that when we first met in Macau, Tang Ruowang was still a smug missionary. At that time, his temples were just a little gray!

Now, he is an old man over seventy years old.

The truth of time is like a wild ass running wild, which cannot be caught even by its tail.

"Mr. Tang, your contribution is yours. You have made great contributions, and Ming Dynasty also gave you the convenience of preaching as promised.

I can't deny this!

Over the years, how many churches your religion has built in the Ming Dynasty and how many believers it has attracted have not been taken care of by the Ming government.

Even in some places, because of the relationship with local officials, the court would provide some support.

These are all things I promised you back then.

How can you blackmail me with your merits? Use your merits to atone for the sins of those who dug graves. If I agree, it will be a violation of the law.

As for what you said, that medical skills should be improved through anatomy research, I really agree.

However, the corpses dissected can be Koreans, Japanese, Cochins, Burmese, Siamese and Europeans.

If they are those who have harmed the Ming Empire, you will have no problem analyzing them while they are still alive.

But, you fixed your eyes on the Ming people.

Don't you know that this is a serious violation of the Ming Dynasty's tradition? No, you just think that as long as you do it in the name of science, you can do whatever you want.
