On the first day of his short trip to Strasbourg, Jérôme Bonaparte "lost" more than 20 million francs. Although this money was used to train qualified military commanders, Jérôme Bonaparte "lost" more than 20 million francs.
Bonaparte always had an indescribable feeling, as if everything had been arranged by Renault in advance.
That night, Jérôme Bonaparte wrote to the Ministry of War, requesting the financial department under the Ministry of War to allocate funds to the Strasbourg area and dispatch a group of mathematicians from Paris to the Strasbourg area.
Whether it is artillery or "civil engineering", it is indispensable to deal with mathematics, and the local mathematicians in Strasbourg are more than one grade behind Paris, which has strong classmates. In addition, the university professors in Strasbourg are originally
He was almost turned bald by the two military academies.
If the newly established military academy also needs to invite part-time professors from the Strasbourg Polytechnic University, it will not be able to meet the requirements unless the Strasbourg Polytechnic University is dissolved on the spot and all professors are merged into the newly established military academy.
condition.
Jérôme Bonaparte also knew that his letter would definitely arouse opposition from some military bureaucrats in the Ministry of War, most likely among them the generals who had previously supported Jérôme Bonaparte.
For the conservative military commanders, any reform is a conflict with the old system, which will naturally arouse their opposition.
Nothing is more tragic than this in reform.
At the moment, Jérôme Bonaparte can only hold on to his prestige and continue to reform when it is at its peak. As long as the military reforms can see results, then Jérôme Bonaparte will be able to achieve the same goals as his uncle.
Napoleon's reputation.
Jérôme Bonaparte folded the envelope and handed the letter to Morny and ordered him to immediately go to the telegraph office in Strasbourg to deliver the telegram to the Ministry of War.
After receiving the letter, Morny left the hotel at night and headed to the telegraph office. Jerome Bonaparte was the only one left in the room.
Jérôme Bonaparte, who was leaning alone by the window, looked at the cunning bright moon on the horizon, and felt an emotion that was incompatible with the world in his heart.
Jérôme Bonaparte, who was caught up in the torrent of history, knew that every step he took was writing a new history, but he was far from knowing whether he could cut through the thorns and carve out a bright road for France in this new history.
"Let nature take its course!" Jérôme Bonaparte muttered to himself with blurred eyes, then turned away from the window and lay on the bed with his hands as a pillow.
After delivering the letter to Paris via telegram, Morny returned to the hotel to report to Jerome Bonaparte, but saw that Jerome Bonaparte had already fallen asleep. He shook his head and quietly left the room.
.
Early the next morning, a noise came from Jérôme Bonaparte's room.
"Ah sneeze!"
Jerome Bonaparte sneezed and sniffed his nose. Affected by the temperature difference between day and night in Strasbourg and the fact that the window was not closed last night, Jerome Bonaparte managed to catch a cold.
Fortunately, 1851 was not an outbreak period for the cholera virus, otherwise Jérôme Bonaparte would have considered taking willow sap to see if he could survive.
Even so, Jérôme Bonaparte also felt that his nose was somewhat blocked. He urgently called for Morny and told him to find a doctor to treat him.
Morny took a carriage to the private clinic in Strasbourg to "invite" a doctor for Jérôme Bonaparte. After the doctor looked at Jérôme Bonaparte's condition, he immediately took out his own
The medicine box is filled with potions.
Looking at the healthy-colored viscous potion prepared by the doctor, Jérôme Bonaparte couldn't help but want to vomit.
Morny also asked with an uncertain look: "Is your potion really good?"
"Don't worry! We have gone through a lot of experiments!" the doctor responded confidently.
Looking at the sworn doctor, Jérôme Bonaparte gritted his teeth and drank.
The moment the potion entered his throat, Jérôme Bonaparte felt an indescribable bitterness, just like bitter melon juice poured into the end.
"Water! Water!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded in a hoarse voice.
The doctor calmly took out a small medicine bottle and poured a glass of colorless and transparent liquid for Jerome Bonaparte. Jerome Bonaparte looked at the doctor in front of him. He did not want to change this origin.
Unidentified liquid.
"What's the matter? Are you afraid of poison?" the doctor asked.
Jérôme Bonaparte shook his head, and Morny, standing aside, explained to Jérôme Bonaparte: "The Consul does not like to drink uncooked water!"
In the 19th century, when pathological knowledge had not yet been fully popularized, not to mention ordinary people, even few monarchs were willing to drink boiled water [except for coffee and the like, most monarchs drank alcohol], Jérôme Bonnet
Ba's behavior is somewhat incompatible with that of most monarchs.
The doctor looked at Jérôme Bonaparte in surprise. He smiled with interest and said, "Your Excellency, do you also believe that Vibrio cholerae exists?"
"Water!" Jérôme Bonaparte retched twice and did not respond to the doctor.
The doctor handed the water to Jerome Bonaparte and said thoughtfully: "I have boiled the water and steamed the bottle at high temperature!"
This time it was Jérôme Bonaparte's turn to be surprised. He took the distilled water from the doctor's bottle and drank it in one gulp. His throat finally felt much better.
"Vibrio cholerae?" Jérôme Bonaparte, who had recovered his vocal cords, looked at the doctor and asked again.
"Your Excellency, don't you know about the controversy at the Health Assembly some time ago?" The doctor also looked surprised.
Jérôme Bonaparte turned his attention to Morny, and Morny explained it to Jérôme Bonaparte.
It turns out that in order to deal with the impact of cholera some time ago, Britain took the lead in organizing a semi-official international health conference in Paris.
"You were dealing with other things at the time. We can't disturb you with something like this!" Morny said to Jérôme Bonaparte.
Since the International Health Conference was in mid-August, when Jérôme Bonaparte was dealing with the army, except for major matters, other trivial matters were left to various departments to deal with.
It was not easy to trouble Jerome Bonaparte with something as semi-official as the International Hygiene Symposium.
After hearing Morny's explanation, Jérôme Bonaparte finally understood what was going on. He looked at the doctor and said, "Are you also at that conference?"
The doctor nodded and couldn't help but sigh: "I really benefited a lot from that conference!"
"Can you tell me something?" Jérôme Bonaparte became a little interested.
Rennio hasn't arrived yet, so it's interesting to hear what the doctor has to say, just to pass the time.
The doctor told him about the two views on cholera raised at the International Hygiene Symposium. One was the "Vibrio cholerae" discovered by Florentine anatomy, and the other was the "miasma theory" which was quite popular in Britain.
"So you support Vibrio cholerae?" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to the doctor.
The doctor nodded and said: "I once dissected the corpses of cholera patients and found this kind of thing under the microscope!"
Jérôme Bonaparte gave the doctor a thumbs up. No matter in any era, there is a group of unknown ruthless people who lead the progress of the entire era.
Jérôme Bonaparte also believed that any technology or development was not accidental. It was a "truth" derived from thousands of experiments. Similarly, there was not just one person who discovered this truth.
Some people are destined to remain unknown for various reasons.
"I also support Vibrio cholerae!" Jérôme Bonaparte also said to the doctor.
"Your Excellency, since you support Vibrio cholerae, why don't you take action?" the doctor asked Jérôme Bonaparte.
"Bold!" Morny scolded the doctor immediately.
The doctor still went his own way and said: "I have seen many people waiting to die because cholera was not treated. It was really the inaction of the monarch that led to the predicament they faced!"
"Sir, we are already actively developing a vaccine to treat the cholera virus!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded in a calm tone: "I think it won't take long to succeed!"
"No...this alone is not enough!" the doctor shook his head and responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.
"What do you think the government should do better?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked the doctor again.
"I believe that cholera must not only be treated, but also prevented! We must not only prevent cholera disease, but also prevent other diseases!" The doctor explained to Jérôme Bonaparte in a clear and logical manner: "The construction of our country's medical system
When responding to sudden diseases, the speed is extremely slow! In the final analysis, it is because we have too few hospitals and too few qualified doctors!"
"Sir, France is already actively responding to this matter!" Jérôme Bonaparte could only speak to the doctor in an official tone.
Charity hospitals in the 19th century were considered a victory as long as they could save lives.
"Not enough!" The doctor shook his head and said sincerely: "France should build more community hospitals and equip community hospitals with enough nursing staff. Don't underestimate nursing. I have seen many people fail to receive proper follow-up care.
Nursing is once again on the line…”
The doctor spoke to Jerome Bonaparte one by one, and Jerome Bonaparte listened carefully to the doctor's speech.
Although many issues are nothing more than the wishful thinking of doctors (for example, hospitals should provide forgiveness to those who cannot afford to be sick, build more national hospitals), some are useful (for example: building nursing hospitals, isolation of patients, and public health services).
Drinking problem of tap water.)
"Thank you very much for your suggestions! I will seriously consider all Nigeria's suggestions and then carefully plan the construction of the French health system in the future."
