Chapter Forty-Nine: The Plague Fights Hard, and the Wokou East Attack Jinling

Lichen made it clear that he was not cooperative, and even his hostile attitude angered many people. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 But when the power of the plague was revealed step by step, regardless of size or value, the threat of death forced the gentry of Jinling to cross the sea to show their powers.

Some people asked their subordinates in the family to buy it on their behalf, some people bought it at a high price from the people who had already taken the medicine, some people tried to use the government to exert pressure, and some people even began to use not so harmonious means to persecute them.

Lichen just wants to say that he knew today, why bother in the beginning.

No matter if you are the one who invited you to cheat the medicine, it will be difficult to escape the dust fairy eyes, and those people who have resold the Chinese medicinal materials in their hands, if they want to cheat again, it is impossible. The dust is used to save lives, not for these guys to get rich. After reselling the medicine that others gave him, he can be regarded as reselling his family or his own life, and he wants to take a second payment, go home and wash and wait for death!

As for the famous posts at home, Lichen scoffed, turned around and threw them all out of the wall. Lichen is no longer ready to stay in Jinling, so why entrust him with a false snake? Those who come to the yin, or those who come to the hard, are not afraid of the dust.

Regardless of Song Ming, he is too tolerant of scholars, Shengmien, Dou Mi Qiu said it really well, most of the bastards raised by the two dynasties are bastards, just like the brick family in later generations, with a high-sounding mouth and flies behind their backs. also has a high face of teaching others "for the country and the people, and the gentleman does not speak for profit".

It's not that no one has paid attention to the potion shop in the dust, but under the arrogant and unreasonable "protection" of the eunuch's mansion, it has not fallen. Some pharmacies finally got their hands on the over-the-counter medicines released from the dusty pharmacies, and blindly began to test the prescriptions, trying to figure out the compatibility inside. only to find that it was originally just some very ordinary and very cheap medicinal herbs. Like licorice and the like. A few pennies and a pound of medicinal materials have become a life-saving elixir in Jinling today. But a large group of experienced famous doctors, with the medicine, they can't copy it. No matter what kind of envoys are replaced, there is still no effect at all.

This is not scientific, why is there no rule in it, and the ratio of several pairs of medicines is not the same at all!

This is really hell off.

In the end, the gentry who were forced to be anxious simply blocked the door to coerce and lure, and did not hesitate to spend thousands of dollars just for a pair of medicines, but the Liao Mansion was still closed. When the gentry turned their attention to the people who received the medicine, and began to rob and lure them to do everything, Lichen replaced the medicine with a decoction, drank it on the spot and left.

When both the dust and the gentry of Nanjing could not borrow the power of the government, a stalemate was formed. And outside Jinling City, the situation is not very good.

The newly gathered group of victims was plagued by disease, and the outside of the city was covered with black smoke, and it was clear that the plague had broken out on a large scale.

A group of people who were always paying attention to the outside of Jinling City were suddenly dumbfounded.

Not only did the assembled parishioners die of countless illnesses and deaths, but the collusion partners that they could easily find could not escape the scourge of the plague. lost the puppet in his hand, coerced the court, and how to sing the drama that created momentum.

Jinling, which has no war, how can it promote public opinion in the whole world?

It is also very strange that he calculated the disaster of the war in Nanjing, but he always thought that it was a rebellion by the people outside the city, but he did not want a plague to bring great harm to Jinling and the future Jiangnan, and at the same time, he actually made a long-planned and imminent "peasant uprising" disappear into invisibility.

But Nanjing's sword disaster is still there, but where will it come from!

It's not that the dust "Yi" is not proficient, it is really a heavenly evolution, and the mystery is endless, which is an unsolvable situation that people can't get out of for thousands of years.

History has countless possibilities, and all outcomes are the result of countless accidents and inevitability. Fate is not only the embodiment of cause and effect, but also the result of the interaction between providence and man.

You can see dozens, hundreds, and the general trend before and after the year, but you may not be able to calculate the details in front of you.

A copy of "Zhou Yi" 64 hexagrams and 384 hexagrams. Those who can calculate the good and bad are the masters, and those who can calculate the direction are the gods.

The heavenly machine is inherently vague and unpredictable, and it cannot be blamed that fortune tellers are always vague, and it is really impossible for anyone to calculate every detail. Even if there is, I'm afraid it will be difficult to tolerate it between heaven and earth, and it will not be feared by the way of heaven, and it will not give you a chance to grow at all.

Just when he was wondering, countless strange sails suddenly appeared on a sea surface along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. A group of strangely dressed men, carrying long knives and all sorts of strange weapons, waded ashore.

It's an uninhabited beach, but there's a coastal guard not far away. The leader of the leader held a pair of sun and moon fans, and after roaring for a while, the team of thousands of people immediately let out a roar of great hatred and fear from the residents of Jiangnan, and rushed to the small Baihu guard house a few miles away.

This is a group of Japanese robbers, there are a lot of real Japanese and a lot of fake Japanese people.

When this large group of pirates appeared in the sight of the guard, it was a light and wanton massacre.

No one resisted, no one thought of lighting the beacon. How can a sheep who only have fear and escape for their lives be the opponent of a hungry wolf.

It's not that Jiangnan soldiers are really that weak, it's really that there are really not many Jiangnan people who have to face life and death. If the style of writing is too strong, it means that the force is exhausted. The culture of the south of the Yangtze River nourished by the mountains and rivers of the south of the Yangtze River, but the Wu Yue land that has also been completely buried is brave!

A group of would-be robbers laughed and returned satisfied, and began to enjoy their victory, blood still dripping beneath the sharp long knives. Only a few leaders gathered together, led by a guy who spoke Chinese but wore Japanese clothes, stood in the hall of the hundred households, spread out a military map of the Ming Dynasty, and pointed at the map.

A group of people were so noisy that they almost drew their swords at each other, and finally it was the strange Chinese speaker who moved his fingers to a terrible place with a decisive word. A place that is destined to have a lot of gains, great risks, and can also shake the world - Daming Accompany the Capital, Jinling!

Just when this team of more than 1,000 people opened the way all the way north, and after converging with the rest of the small groups along the way, there was finally a team of more than 3,000 people.

For a time, the whole Jiangnan was in turmoil. The brave and shameless Daming Jiangnan army is even more desperate to flee, even if it is unlucky, it is afraid to turn around if it hits, you don't need to run how fast you are, as long as you run faster than your comrades!

A soldier bears a nest of bears. The Jiangnan of the Ming Dynasty is a soldier and a bear, and there is no bear.

Coupled with the unremitting efforts of civil officials over the past century, the army that broke through Beijing, expelled the Tatars, and rebuilt China under the leadership of the general Xu Da has been completely soaked in the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and the degree of waste is simply to the point of common anger.

So much so that later generals like Qi Jiguang could not be brought out, and they were not allowed to recruit new troops and train from scratch. There are definitely a lot of troops in the south of the Ming River, but none of them dare to fight the Japanese Kou head-on.

As for why the elite soldiers of the Nine Sides were not mobilized, on the one hand, it was too expensive, and the gentry in Jiangnan were opposed, fearing that those outsiders would harm Jiangnan. There are even more reasons for the north and south to adapt to the water and soil.

But this time it was really a shock in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and a shock in the south of the Yangtze River, and even Nanjing, which was ravaged by the plague, was shaken.

Without him, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty fled when they heard the news, and the militia groups in Jiangnan fled when they heard the news. The Japanese can actually attack the city all the way, drive straight in, as if entering the land of no one, and the direction is directed to Jinling!

Lichen didn't know how those officials in Jinling felt now, and he didn't have time to face such a shame like Zhu Houzhao. But Lichen knew that no matter how high the city wall was, no matter how wide the moat was, it couldn't help a group of generals and soldiers who had no shame and no thought of dying in battle!

If Nanjing has an itchy scalp in advance and the water is too cold, then the fun will be really big!

Now not only are the people in Jinling City panicking, but even Gonggong Tan, who is guarding the eunuch's mansion, can't sit still.

Although Jinling is a high city and a wide pool, it is one of the best fortified cities in the Ming Dynasty, but the officers and soldiers of Nanjing know what virtue is, and who in the world does not know? If it is said that killing good and risking merit, it is indeed a good hand to make trouble with soldiers and salaries, but in the face of the Japanese who have almost become invincible in Jiangnan, there is almost no confidence at all from top to bottom.

What's more, now that the plague is rampant in Jinling City, and the gentry are centrifuged, if this city can't be defended, it is really possible to "just in case"!

Father-in-law Tan couldn't sit still, and wanted to have peace of mind. Ordinary people generally look for a fortune teller to ask, is there a fortune teller in Daming who is more powerful than the national teacher Lichen?

If it is true, Gonggong Tan did not hesitate to violate the agreement with Chen, and personally came to the house to meet Chen.

Lichen heard Menzi's announcement and sighed. After thousands of calculations, I didn't expect that Jinling's swords and soldiers came from the sea.

This is also because he has not studied history seriously in his previous life, and you must know that the original history was really a group of Japanese robbers who fought under Jinling City. And it doesn't seem to be as many as this time.

In the living room, Lichen was silent in the face of Tan Gonggong's anxious inquiry.

It's not that Lichen doesn't answer, but Lichen doesn't know what to do now.

Lichen calculated the arrival of the sword soldiers, but guessed the wrong direction. When he knew that the would-be wouldn't be committed, when he wanted to calculate, he suddenly found that it was a matter of his own body, and the sky was blurred. Too many results equals no results.

Lichen knows that this kind of hexagram is generally called chaotic hexagram, which means that God doesn't want you to know.

To God, what else can you do except sigh with hope?

"Gonggong Tan, how many officers and soldiers are there in Jinling City now, are there any elites, the ones who will not flee from the wind!" Lichen did not answer Tan Gonggong's question, but asked about the defense of Nanjing.

"Wei Guogong was ordered to go north to take away 100,000 people and horses, which were selected from the entire south of the Yangtze River, and now there should be 100,000 soldiers in Nanjing City, but most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they are vulnerable!" Gonggong Tan said "should", that is, he should not be sure how many soldiers there are.

The situation of the Ming Dynasty's army eating empty salaries is not unique to Beijing Jingying. It's almost universal. Originally, the whole world knew about this matter, but only the emperor did not know. Now even the only emperor who doesn't know knows it, so he will be dissatisfied with the military ministers of the Ming Dynasty and purge the army of the Jingshi. But apparently not yet in mind to get troops outside of Beijing.

Tan Gonggong's tone was obviously not hopeful for the army in Nanjing, and he only hoped that with the daunting city defense of Jinling, it would be good not to let people break through the city.

After pondering for a moment, Lichen said firmly: "Father-in-law Tang can rest assured, Poor Dao will not let the thousand-year-old ancient capital fall into the hands of the Japanese Kou."

Daming can't afford such a shame, and Huaxia can't afford such pain. I don't care what the gentry have planned, but Jinling Gu must not fall.

After Gonggong Tan got Chen's assurance, he finally said goodbye with ease.

Lichen suddenly remembered Zhu Zaikai.

It's time for Zhu Zaikai to see what the Ming mainland army looks like. Daming Taizu's military system, which wanted to take advantage of it, couldn't be changed if it wasn't changed.

Relying on the mainland army of the Ming Dynasty now, it is good to say within the Ming Dynasty that it is really embarrassing and embarrassing to encounter other places. The army is not good, where does the strength of the Ming Dynasty start, no matter how much the literati boast of the prosperity of the culture, it is useless to have a developed economy. Today's world only recognizes knives and guns, and no one can use them.

The Japanese barely concealed their purpose, and anyone who could read the map knew that they were marching almost in a straight line towards Jinling. The government of the Ming Dynasty did not think of interception, but when the army dispersed in a hurry and moved into three thousand miles, it was useless for his grandson and his old man to command it in person.

Lichen took the enthusiastic Zhu Zaiqi all the way to the direction of the Japanese attack.

Originally, Zhu Zaikai, who could have been taken to the sky by his master, was still very excited, but soon all his mood was made by the war under his feet that was not a war at all.

The Ming army numbered more than 10,000 people, and it seemed that the soldiers were strong and strong, but they saw the shadow of the Japanese from a distance, and they didn't even dare to look at their faces, so they scattered in a hurry. The general fled on horseback, and the creeps ran on their legs. Crying father called mother, even the child's Zhu Zai Kai's face was flushed.

Zhu Zaikai's little fist was clenched tightly, he was very angry, and asked Chen embarrassedly: "Master, why are these armies so useless?" Better than waste? ”

Lichen sighed. It seems that as long as the world is peaceful, the corruption of the army will almost be a problem that is difficult to solve in all dynasties. But under the guidance of the Confucian scholars, they often only threw the responsibility to the king, but did not think that the degradation of the army was also a key part.

It's too profound, and now that Zhu Zaikai doesn't understand, Lichen simply said a little: "They don't have the heart to fight, they don't have the courage to face the enemy, it's like a flock of sheep encountering a wolf, no matter how many sheep are useless!" ”

Zhu Zaikai's eyes widened, and he looked at the dust with a shining light: "Master must have a way for the sheep to defeat the wild wolf, right?" ”

Lichen thought for a while and said: "Whether it's a fight or a fight, it's nothing more than a breath in the chest, and to put it bluntly, it's morale." As long as this group of soldiers has morale, they may not be afraid of these little devils! ”

"Master, what is a little devil?" Zhu Zaikai said.

"Those wreaks down there," Lichen replied.

"Hello little devils, aren't those widows ghosts?" Zhu Zaikai clapped his hands and exclaimed.

When Lichen and the little prince Zhu Zaikai were talking, the victory or defeat of the following war had been divided. But I have to praise it, the Ming army I met this time was really good, and he ran very fast. The Japanese were stunned and didn't catch up much. A group of routed soldiers saw that the Japanese did not chase after them, and they were finally relieved. Then they gradually converged, and they all converged towards another place.

Lichen was a little dumbfounded.

What is this? Defeated experience, or is it really that magical? (To be continued.) )
