Chapter 172
After the imperial army arrived in Pingxiang, the infected generals and soldiers improved one after another.
Because of the "sick meal" advocated by Xingningbo, with the hard work of the Huotou Army, the border army with a good physical foundation became much stronger after recovering from illness.
Zhu Neng's condition also began to lighten, although he was so thin that he lost his shape, his spirit improved greatly, and he was no longer drowsy every day, and the three good doctors who were ordered to take care of him were all relieved after checking his pulse.
"The new medicinal fruit is very useful."
The good doctor, who had been skeptical of Shen Xuan's decision, couldn't help but be ashamed. Because he recognized his family learning origins, and was appreciated by the Zhao Academy, he thought that he would definitely make great contributions to this trip, or he could be promoted to Beijing and glorified. Excessive pride leads to arrogance, no one in sight, stubbornness, and almost misses the opportunity for treatment.
If there is no Xingningbo's proposition, Dingguo Gong will eliminate dissent, and most of the officers and soldiers who are ill will probably be more than lucky.
caused such a catastrophe, and still want to be glorified? It is a fluke to avoid death and fill the army.
Thinking of this, the good doctor broke out in a cold sweat and discussed with several colleagues that he should take advantage of the reorganization of the army to go to Xingningbo to apologize.
"Xingningbo's foresight is beyond our reach. If we do it before, if we call ourselves a doctor, our ancestors will also be disgraced under the Nine Springs. ”
"What Brother Li said is even."
Except for a few medical officers who served on the expedition, most of the good doctors who accompanied the expedition were recruited from Huimin pharmacies and folk medical centers. And most of the people who are not confused are young, and the highest age is only half a hundred, and the medical skills are just average, and they are better than having physical strength.
As a military doctor, it is not uncommon for them to follow the army all the way through mountains and rivers, and it is not uncommon for them to go to the battlefield. No matter how high the medical skills are, they can't do it without enough physical strength and stamina.
Hire someone from Tai Hospital?
The emperor approves it, and the military and Han may not be happy.
The old man who is familiar with the ancient age, following the army all the way, is not enough - humane - human. Moreover, under the leadership of Zhao Yuanju, the research spirit of the imperial doctors has continued to reach a new level, cutting their fingers to prick needles in the brain, sneezing to prick needles in the brain, coughing twice still to prick needles in the brain, no matter how brave the military will not be able to bear it.
A good doctor who has been in the army for a long time, and his temper and personality will be somewhat infected, which is slightly different from ordinary doctors.
The whole army is very clear about this, and Meng also has a deep understanding after being questioned by pointing his nose to his face.
The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty have character, and the good doctor also has character.
Doctors and Confucians are not separated, and if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
The good doctors corrected their mistakes and went to Meng to apologize one after another. Although there are only two or three people who dare to reprimand Xingning Bocao in person, those who hold the same opinion always occupy the majority.
Now, it has been proved that Xingningbo is right, his stubbornness is wrong, and it is not a big deal to bow his head and admit his mistake.
Meng really didn't expect this to be the case.
After sending away the three waves of good doctors, seeing that the matter was not over, he had to hide in Shen Xuan's military tent under the pretext of discussing the military situation.
As a general of the army, it is not reasonable to continue to live in the tent of the main general. Meng gritted his teeth and insisted, vowing not to compromise, in exchange for the treatment of living alone.
But when he encountered a difficult thing, he had to hide in Shen Xuan's tent.
Looking at Dingguo Gong with one hand on his cheeks, his face handsome, and a silent smile, Meng Shishilang grinned and begged to be taken in.
"Got into trouble?"
"Grandpa Guo's clever plan."
"Want my help?"
"Grandpa Guo's wisdom is unparalleled!"
"Oh." The voice dragged on, and the slender fingers lightly tapped the short case where the intelligence document was placed, and said something that made Meng want to vomit blood, "I'll think about it." ”
"Grandpa Guo......"
"Huh?"
"It rained heavily last night, and my subordinates found that the tent was leaking and couldn't live in it, so I asked Grandpa Guo to take it in."
Shen Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, his smile deepened, but he still didn't nod.
Meng grinds his teeth, is this the rhythm of making him cry and hug his thighs? If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't bear it, he immediately turned around and left. Helpless to be lined up to apologize and starry eyes, it's really Alexander, I can't hold it!
"Grandpa Guo, it's almost done, right?" Meng looked sideways outside the tent, the soldiers patrolling the camp had just passed by, and the soldiers were in the pillars, very good!
As soon as the curtain fell, he walked in front of Shen Xuan in a few steps, pressed his hands, lowered his head, and blocked his lips with a smile.
After a while, he looked up and licked-licked-the corners of his mouth, "That's it, right?" ”
Shen Xuan raised his eyebrows, wiped his thumb over his lower lip, and said nothing.
Meng glared, is it still not possible?
Yes!
Bow your head again and continue to gag.
This time I used all my strength, the back of my head was vigorously buckled, and my lower lip hurt a little, and it would leave a mark 100%.
When parting, my head can't help but feel a little dizzy.
"Grandpa Guo?"
I wanted to pounce up, but I was pressed by my shoulder, clasped my arm, and crashed into the other party's arms.
The armor was cool, and it unexpectedly made him feel comfortable.
It's just that my nose bumped, and a sour feeling rushed to my brain, and my head became even more dizzy.
Shen Xuan clasped Meng's shoulder, his dark eyes were getting closer and closer, his breath was between his eyebrows, his forehead was against each other, and for a long time, a deep voice came into his ears, "Twelve Lang doesn't feel unwell?" ”
"Huh?"
Meng blinked, and in a moment's time, Shen Xuan's face was a little blurry.
"You're having a fever."
The voice fell, and someone in a dizziness was picked up, subconsciously wrapped around Shen Xuan's shoulder, reacted half a beat slowly, and stroked his forehead with one hand and smirked, "It's not hot......"
Shen Xuan was helpless.
Isn't it burned?
"Someone, please Dr. Liu."
"Yes."
The soldiers outside the tent agreed, and there was a sound of swords and halberds, and they quickly went away.
Meng was placed on the couch in Shen Xuan's tent, subconsciously grabbed Shen Xuan's arm, and rubbed forward in a daze, it was a familiar cold fragrance. Even on the march, Dingguo Gong's tent was still refreshing.
It's hotter.
Shen Xuan took the opportunity to sit on the edge of the couch, scooped the person into his arms, patted it gently, and heard that the soldiers outside the tent returned to the good doctor, so he comforted Meng to lie down.
The curtain was lifted, and Liu Liangyi walked in with the medicine box on his back, and saluted: "I have seen Guogong." ”
"Excuse me, trouble Dr. Liu."
Shen Xuan looks cold, but he acts with the dignity and grace of the family.
Dr. Liu put down the medicine box, looked at Meng on the couch, and when he took the pulse, his expression became more and more serious. For a while, he ignored the posture of Dingguo Gong and Xingningbo who were too close-intimate.
Not surprisingly, Meng was ill.
Fatigue and cold, and a terrible fever.
Fortunately, it is not the same symptom as Cheng Guogong, nor is it malaria that the soldiers can't bear. Doctor Liu Liang prescribed prescriptions and handed them to Shen Xuan, all of which were ordinary medicinal materials, and the army was well stocked.
"I've sweated tonight, but if I can get rid of the fever, it will be fine. It's just ......"
"Doctor Liu might as well speak up."
"I think that Xingningbo should recuperate, and it is not appropriate to continue to move forward with the army."
There was silence in the tent, Shen Xuan pondered for a moment, and said, "This matter will be considered by the official." Dr. Liu, let's step back for the time being. ”
"Yes."
Doctor Liu Liang left the military tent and personally instructed the doctor to boil medicine.
Shen Xuan sat on the edge of the couch, with calloused fingertips, gently brushing Meng's cheeks, and was suddenly held.
"I'm fine." Meng felt that he couldn't use his strength, but he still clenched his hands, and there seemed to be a voice in his brain that kept telling him that he couldn't let go, "According to what Dr. Liu said, after drinking the medicine, it's good to sleep." Really, I have been using the pills judged by Zhao Yuan, and they have all been raised. This time it was careless, and it won't be next time. ”
Shen Xuan didn't speak, looked at Meng fixedly, inexplicable emotions flashed in his dark eyes, and suddenly leaned over, covered on the couch, his chin rested on Meng's neck, and gently rubbed his cheek.
"Grandpa Guo?"
"Yes."
The voice was very low, Meng Xin clenched, wrapped his arms around Shen Xuan's shoulders, and hugged him hard.
"I'm fine, really." So, don't worry.
“…… Kindness. ”
Neither of them spoke again, until the voice of the pro-soldier sounded outside the tent, and the decoction was boiled, and Shen Xuan propped up his arms. Meng was burning in a daze and baring his teeth at the same time.
Without him, his arm was numb.
The medicine was very bitter, Meng wanted to take a sip, and couldn't stand Shen Xuan's spoonful by spoonful.
After only three spoonfuls, his face was wrinkled.
Good medicine is bitter, can it be used to be bitter like this?
It is seriously suspected that Coptis chinensis was added when boiling the medicine.
"Grandpa Guo...... Ziyu ...... I'll do it myself! ”
Beauty can't be gentle.
The atmosphere is gentle or something, it's all floating clouds,
Who said being drugged by a beauty is a pleasure? It's pure sin, suffering!
Meng snatched the medicine bowl with his last strength, and his hand was so hot that it almost hit the ground.
"Be careful."
Shen Xuan took the medicine bowl again and held it extremely stable.
Meng looked at Shen Xuan, stretched out his finger, poked the edge of the bowl, and his fingertips turned red.
"Grandpa Guo, isn't it hot?"
"Hot." Shen Xuan chuckled, lowered his head, sucked, and removed the medicine stains on the corner of Meng's mouth, "The medicine should be drunk while it is hot to be more effective." I know bitterness, Twelve Lang endure it for the time being. ”
The spoon was handed to his mouth again, Meng opened his mouth, remembering the heat of the medicine bowl just now, and it seemed that he would not be able to taste a little bit of bitterness.
After drinking a bowl of medicine, Meng's eyes were a little red.
Maybe the sick people are fragile, and they hug Shen Xuan regardless of it, and they don't look up whether they are dead or alive.
"Twelve, let go first."
It's not loose, how can I love it!
Shen Xuan simply held the person up and hugged him into his arms, the medicine bowl was placed on the ground, and the people in the military tent were silent, unless there was a major military situation, the guards would not lift the tent curtain and break in.
"Twelve."
"Yes."
"This time it was Xuan's negligence.
"It's not!" Meng finally looked up, "I said it was me who was careless. ”
"After all......" the big hand stroked Meng's hair, "I didn't think about it well." ”
Meng wanted to say no again, but was pressed into Shen Xuan's arms, "The army will be pulled out the day after tomorrow, and Twelve Lang will stay." ”
"Stay? Can ......"
"Although Chengguo Gong has no worries about his life, it is not appropriate to continue the expedition. Twelve Lang stayed, and it should be to take care of Chengguo Gong. Shen Xuan lowered his voice slightly, "Li Qingqing of Pingxiang County is loyal to the imperial court, although he can be entrusted, Xuan believes in Twelve Lang more. ”
I knew it was an excuse, but I couldn't find any reason to refute it.
Historically, Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, did die of illness before the army invaded Annam, and Emperor Yongle dropped out of the dynasty for five days to mourn, and posthumously named Zhu Neng as the king of Dongping, nicknamed Wulie.
With the new medicine brought back by Ding Qianhu, Zhu Neng's condition is still serious, but he has survived the threshold of life and death, as long as he takes good care of himself, there will be no accidents, and it will not be a problem to live for thirty or forty years.
But with the current situation, it is impossible to continue to lead the army, and it is the most appropriate way to stay in Pingxiang to recuperate.
"Do you really want me to stay?"
"Yes." Shen Xuan Zhengse said, "One is to recuperate for Twelve Lang, and the other is that the army has passed over, and the local officials and lords of Fanbang in Guangxi and other places are either invited to go out with the army, or send envoys to see, the Chengguo Gong has not healed, and it is inconvenient to spend more energy, and the generals and courtiers with the army are all short, or they cannot serve the military generals, and there is no way to say that the civil ministers." Twelve Lang is brave and resourceful, and it should be the best. ”
"......" is a good thing, but why does he always feel that something is not right? Is it because the fever has not subsided, his head is confused, or is Grandpa Guo's language art too high, so he can't find the slightest clue?
I don't understand it anymore, when it comes to this, Meng can't continue to excuse himself, so he can only pinch his nose and nod in agreement.
Stay, stay.
With Shen Xuan's force value, even if Annan jumps again, he won't be able to jump any moths.
"I listen to Grandpa Guo."
When the words fell, Meng closed his eyes and lay down.
When the medicine came up, he began to feel sleepy.
It seems that there is not a coptis in the decoction, and there is also a sleeping ingredient.
Shen Xuan chuckled, lying side-lying-beside Meng, supporting his head with one hand, his breath brushing Meng's ears, "Twelve Lang." ”
Meng's eyes closed tighter, waved his hands, and did not disturb while sleeping.
Shen Xuan simply fell on Meng's body, laughing more and more wantonly.
Meng Shishilang was angry, turned sideways, stared, tossed the sick number, and heaven did not tolerate it!
The more he stared, the more Shen Xuan laughed. It is like a spring breeze blowing, and the ice and snow are beginning to melt.
The smile was too dazzling, Meng Zao forgot to go back to his military tent, and lay down again, out of sight was clean, he endured!
As a result, the nose was pinched,
I can't bear it, I can't bear it anymore!
Uncle Meng was evil to the side of the guts, the strength came from the chest, ignoring the contrast of force values, rising up, and pounced with all his might.
The result is very obvious, under the countermeasures of Grandpa Guo, Uncle Meng has changed from a standing puff to a standing servant.
My hands and feet were trapped, and I couldn't move, but I was sweating all over, and the heat in my body seemed to evaporate with the sweat, and I was suddenly much lighter.
"Better?" Shen Xuan pressed against Meng's forehead, not caring at all about the sweat on the other party's face, and a smile came into his eyes, "The heat has subsided a little." ”
Meng Du was stunned and couldn't come back to his senses, his hands and feet had been let go, and he was soon wrapped in the quilt again.
Shen Xuan got up, asked the guards to bring hot water, twisted the cloth towel, and said with a smile: "Reach out." ”
Meng obediently stretched out his hand.
Grandpa Guo helped Uncle Meng wipe his sweat, and at the same time smiled and stretched his eyebrows, where was there still a little cold.
"Alright, let's sleep."
One password and one action, Meng Laoshi lay down, and after a while, he finally understood what was going on, and his neck and ears were red together.
This time, Grandpa Guo's laughter came out of the tent.
The guards in charge of the manager's security work exchanged a knowing look, don't listen to the incivility, and continue to press the knife with one hand, mighty and majestic, in the COS goalpost.
The next day, Meng's popularity was completely gone, and Shen Xuan was promoted, summoned the generals, and announced the decision to march into Annan in the near future.
In the afternoon, a brocade guard arrived with an edict from the Son of Heaven and Pegasus.
"The army of the deputy general of Annan was conscripted, and Shen Xuan, the duke of Dingguo, wore the seal of the general of Zhengyi, and served as the chief military officer. Still with Xiping Hou Musheng as the left deputy general, Xincheng Hou Zhang Fu as the right deputy general, Yunyang Bo Chen Xu as the right general, led the division to conquer Annan. ”
After the edict, the generals were encouraged by the edict, "In the past, Emperor Kaotai - Emperor Zugao ordered the general Kaiping Wang Chang Yuchun, and the general Li Wenzhong, the king of Qiyang, to lead the army to the north to conquer the desert. King Kaiping died in Liuhechuan, and the king of Qiyang was ordered to lead the generals to sweep away the remnants of the Yuan, and finally made immortal feats. It is advisable to learn from the predecessors of the law, be determined to be self-reliant, work together, and eliminate treacherous and rebellious. Build the name of the Meritorious Officer, with the commission of the vice-president. ”
"Ministers obey the order, long live our emperor!"
Shen Xuan was the leader, and Zhu Neng was also supported by others, bowing in the direction of the capital.
When the edict was delivered, Jinyiwei took the military information reported by the army, galloped again, and the smoke and dust billowed and disappeared in an instant.
Meng couldn't help but sigh, on knowing people and making good use of them, he should push the Yongle Emperor.
If Yang Duo and his lieutenant Lux knew that Xing Ningbo made this exclamation, they didn't know how to feel. After all, it was Xingningbo himself who helped Jinyiwei develop new business.
In October of the fourth year of Yongle, Ding Wei, Shen Xuan, the Duke of Dingguo, led the expedition to the army of Annan, and the division sent Pingxiang, crossed the slope, and camped at the base pass.
Shen Xuan wore a dark armor, set up a big sword, and the drums and horns sounded in unison, looking at the mountains and rivers in Annan, and suing Annan Li thieves to kill the monarch and abuse the people, harass Linfeng, and invade the country internally.
Li Junyu, who joined the army, denounced Annan's 20 major crimes under the pass, saying that the Son of Heaven was furious and ordered 800,000 to get rid of the traitors, and said that the Li clan was heinous in crime, but the heavenly soldiers came only to crusade against the rebels and not to harm the people. His Majesty the Emperor has strictly ordered the soldiers to be innocent. If the officials who have been coerced by the rebels and thieves can change their ways, they will still be in their original positions, and they will not be blamed for the past. If he dies without repentance, he is regarded as a rebel and will be punished.
People from all over the world who are doing business in Annam or who have been captured by traitors can go to the military gate to report themselves and be escorted back to China. Those who wish to stay can stay. If you can give birth to a bird, the father and son of the thief will be sent to the military gate, and the reward will be added. ”
When the traitors are swept away, they should summon the people of the country to the elderly, seek the descendants of the Chen family, and restore their thrones. The upper is the vice emperor's grace, and the lower is the hope of the people.
In short, there is no good end for following the Li rebels, and abandoning the darkness and turning to the light is the right way.
The Ming Dynasty sent troops to help the people of Annam get rid of the oppression of traitors and save the people from fire and water.
When the thieves are swept away, they will still search for the descendants of the Chen family to be the king of Annam.
What kind of spirit is this?
It is clearly the spirit of internationalism that loves the world!
If the XXX Peace Prize of the fifteenth century were to be awarded, the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty would be the best candidate for the prize.
Peace and fraternity, urgent for people's urgency, saving the people in water, selfless help neighboring weak and small countries to resist - strong - violence, anytime and anywhere to the Xth world countries to help.
On the greatest statesman of the fifteenth century, the greatest pacifist, the Yongle Emperor, well deserved!
After reciting the rebellious text, after counting Annan's crimes, Li Jun, who joined the army with the secretary of the Ministry of War, wiped his sweat, and sure enough, he was outside the world, and he could write such an article, Xingningbo was really a civil and military all-rounder, a pillar!
In October of the fourth year of Yongle, the Ming army's rebellious documents spread throughout the neighboring states, and the king of the Hu clan of Annan, who was originally surnamed Li, also completely understood that his life had entered the countdown.
In October Gengzi, with the rumbling cannons, the Battle of Annam officially kicked off.
Standing at the head of Pingxiang City, Meng and Zhu Neng held clairvoyance and looked at the place where the cannon sounded, only to see a dense jungle and rising black smoke.
After a long time, Meng put down his clairvoyance, shook his somewhat sour neck, turned to Pingxiang County, who was accompanying him, and smiled gently.
"Li Daling, the army is conscripting, this official has something, I want to ask Daling for help."
"Despite the uncle's orders, the lower officials will definitely do their best."
"It doesn't have to be so serious." Meng said with a smile, "The imperial court ordered the coastal provinces to build ships, should Li Daling know?" ”
"The lower official knows a thing or two."
"Shipbuilding requires a lot of wood, and Li Daling should know it?"
Li Qingqing nodded, "Xia Guan knows." ”
"So," Meng narrowed his eyes with a smile, handed the clairvoyance to Li Qingqing's hand, and motioned for him to look in the direction of Annan, "Looking at all this in front of him, Li Daling doesn't think he should do something?" ”
The road to promoting Pingxiang County to get rid of poverty and become rich is just around the corner!
Meng explained like this, so and so explained, Li Qingqing trembled his hands, his cheeks were red with excitement, his fists were clenched, Xing Ningbo pointed out the way, and the lower officials were grateful!
After thanking him, he rushed down to the city, summoned the nearby local officials, and the elders in the county, and carried out the mobilization work.
At the head of the city, Zhu Neng gave Meng a thumbs up, "Gao Cai!" ”
Meng was modest, "Don't dare." ”
Zhu Neng squinted, does the official have a part in this matter?
Meng nodded, that's nature!
A prince and an uncle looked at each other and smiled, looking at the large forest in the distance, and the golden light flashed in their eyes.
It's all money!
