Just after the Spring Festival in 1915, Zhang Xueliang, who was only 15 years old, was chased by his father Zhang Zuolin and went to Zhengjiatun, which is located at the junction of Liaoning, Jilin and Inner Mongolia provinces, to marry Yu Fengzhi, the daughter-in-law given by Zhang Zuolin 7 years ago. Since ancient times, Zhengjiatun has been famous for "the key point of the Liaohe River waterway", "the place where soldiers must fight" and "the important town in Northeast China", but because of its geographical location close to Inner Mongolia, bandits are rampant. In 1907, Zhang Zuolin led troops into Zhengjiatun to suppress bandits, and Yu Wendou, a wealthy local businessman, saved Zhang Zuolin in a battle, so he set Zhang Xueliang and Yu Fengzhi's doll relatives.
Yu Fengzhi is three years older than Zhang Xueliang, and at first Zhang Xueliang was opposed to this family business, but he didn't dare to disobey Zhang Zuolin, pouted and worshiped heaven and earth with Yu Fengzhi. After marriage, Yu Fengzhi's meticulous and meticulous care gradually made Zhang Xueliang dependent on this "eldest sister", and the relationship between the two became stronger and stronger. Yu Fengzhi gave birth to a total of four children for Zhang Xueliang, one girl and three boys, the first three children were safe and safe, without any twists and turns, only the birth of the third son Zhang Luqi caused a storm that almost killed someone.
Yu Fengzhi fell ill when she gave birth to Zhang Luqi for three months, and the doctor diagnosed and treated it as "postpartum wind", which is equivalent to the rheumatism and rheumatoid caused by rheumatism in Western medicine. At that time, "postpartum stroke" was a fatal disease if it was not treated in time.
Zhang Xueliang didn't know the danger of this disease, so he didn't take it to heart, but Zhang Zuolin didn't dare to be careless, and didn't specially invite all the ** doctors in the Japanese Nanman Medical College, and told Zhang Zuolin after the consultation that the young grandmother's illness only needed injections and medicine to be cured. Zhang Zuolin was overjoyed, busy with Zhang Luoren transforming Zhang Xueliang's bedroom into a temporary ward, the dean of the medical school personally sat down, the best medicine, the best medical staff, and served Yu Fengzhi with all their might.
The reason why the Japanese doctors took such painstaking efforts was not because Zhang Zuolin was generous, but because the Japanese governor in Mukden personally ordered them, and they thought that Yu Fengzhi would be cured and would be able to gain Zhang Zuolin's favor, and then increase Japan's status in Northeast China. The Japanese can be described as well-intentioned, but the result was unsatisfactory, and they were busy for more than a week, but Yu Fengzhi's condition did not improve. Zhang Xueliang invited the famous British doctor in Fengtian to the Governor's Pavilion, and after the British doctor hung up the stethoscope and tossed, he came to the same conclusion as the Japanese doctor, this disease requires the patient's own resistance to get through the difficulties, but Yu Fengzhi is weak and the prospects are not optimistic.
British Langzhong was treated for another week, but Yu Fengzhi not only did not get better, but his condition worsened, with numbness in his hands and feet, and edema all over his body. The Japanese and British doctors held a consultation meeting together, gave Yu Fengzhi an examination, and finally the British doctor apologized, the Japanese doctor bowed, and tactfully told Zhang Xueliang to prepare for the future. As soon as the news came out, all the people in Zhang's house were stunned, Zhang Xueliang knelt in front of his father and begged him to find a way to save Yu Fengzhi, Zhang Zuolin was helpless, and finally the mother of the fifth lady Wang Yajun, Wang, gave a note, and asked the shaman to ask God to drive away the disease.
Shaman in the northeast is known as the "jumping god", and there are still people engaged in this profession in some remote areas today, Peng Xian, the housekeeper of the Shuai Mansion, spent a lot of money to invite the goddess from near Fengtian, and the goddess tossed in Fengzhi's bedroom for most of the day, and as a result, Yu Fengzhi's condition worsened that night, and he couldn't even get out of bed. Zhang Zuolin came over to look at Yu Fengzhi, who was pale, shook his head and told Peng Xian to send a letter to the Yu family in Zhengjiatun, so that his mother's family could finally see Yu Fengzhi.
Just when the whole family was immersed in mourning, Shuai Mansion came to a middle-aged peasant woman surnamed Wu with a child, this woman's husband is called Chang Zechun, many years ago in Yingkou Gaokan Town to save Zhang Zuolin's life, but later the Chang family encountered bandits, and the woman was desperate to Fengtian to find Zhang Zuolin to make the decision. She saw that everyone in the Zhang family was full of sadness, and after inquiring about the reason, she went to Zhang Zuolin's second wife, Lu Shouxuan, and said that she had a way to cure Yu Fengzhi.
It turned out that there was a man in the peasant woman's hometown, who specialized in treating postpartum stroke, and his hand was cured. Zhang Zuolin was busy sending someone to look for it, and when Lang Zhong entered the courtyard, Zhang Zuolin's heart was half cold, the person was only in his thirties, his face was beardless, his face was immature, and he did not look like a miracle doctor. Lang Zhong saw Zhang Zuolin's suspicions, and teased: "I heard that the marshal has become a general at my age, did anyone doubt your ability at that time." ”
Zhang Zuolin was taken aback, he didn't expect a countryman to dare to talk to himself like this, so he asked him his name, the person called himself a small gourd seed, Zhang Zuolin suddenly remembered that in the early years in the western Liaoning area, there was a doctor called the old gourd seed, the ability is very great, there is no disease that he can't cure, under careful questioning, the young man in front of him is the son of the old gourd seed. Zhang Zuolin suddenly had a bottom in his heart, but the words of the little gourd seed made his heart rise to his throat, and the little gourd seed said: "People's fate is destined, I only govern, but I can't guarantee that it will be cured." Zhang Zuolin waved his hand helplessly.
The little gourd seed did not give injections or take medicine, but brought a grass bed, which was mixed with more than a dozen kinds of grass, he asked Yu Fengzhi to lie on the bed, put two charcoal braziers under the bed, and took out a silver needle to prick a few needles on Feng Zhi's body, and then ordered people to block all the doors and windows. Two hours later, Xiao Hulu Seed opened the door and went out of the house and said to Zhang Xueliang: "Madame is fine." Zhang Xueliang hurriedly entered the house, saw that Yu Fengzhi had already sat up, his face was also red, and said with a smile: "This doctor is really a god, I feel much better now, I feel smooth everywhere, I have to thank that doctor." ”
Zhang Zuolin rushed over when he heard the news, circled around the grass bed, and came close to smell it, and then asked, "Where did you pick this herb?" Can red injuries be cured? The little gourd seed replied with a smile: "This grass bed is left by my father, all of them are herbs picked from Changbai Mountain, and some other herbs are needed to treat red wounds. ”
Zhang Zuolin laughed and wanted the little gourd seed to stay in the marshal's mansion, but the little gourd seed said: "My father had a will before his death, and he asked me not to enter a wealthy family, I will obey my father's order, please forgive me." Besides, there are dozens of miles around my home, only I am a langzhong, the villagers can't do without me, if there is a place where I need to be in the future, send someone to know, I will definitely be on call. ”
Zhang Zuolin did not force it, and ordered someone to take 200 oceans to give the little gourd seed, but the little gourd seed refused to accept it, saying that he never charged money for medical treatment, and only relied on a few acres of thin fields at home to survive. This made Zhang Zuolin embarrassed, he owed such a big favor and had to pay it back, so Zhang Zuolin asked the little gourd seed what he wanted. Xiao Hulu Seed Zhengse said: "Now the bandits are rampant in various places, and the people are deeply affected. ”
Zhang Zuolin already had the idea of knowing the bandits and stabilizing the ground, so he happily agreed to the request of the little gourd seed, and the little gourd seed knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said: "I thank the handsome for the common people who let the bandits scourge be!" ”
In the following years, the Feng army attacked everywhere and wiped out the bandits of all sizes active in the Northeast, and Zhang Xueliang also grew up in this series of battles, laying the foundation for inheriting Zhang Zuolin's mantle and becoming the "young marshal" in charge of the Northeast.
