Zhang Mingwei's words shocked almost all the health soldiers who heard it, as well as Princess Kunxing, Zhou Liu and those female guards.

When will it be suggested that women can hold up half the sky? Maybe it's only the Wu Zetian era back then!

At this time, they never thought that they could play such a huge role?

Thinking that one day, they can no longer be attached to men, but can be on a par with men, as important, the same as the sky above their heads, they are a little hard to imagine, what will it be like?

At this moment, in response to Zhang Mingwei's words, many people were moved. It's all people who have died almost once, so why not take a fight and fight for that beautiful future?

Of course, there are also some women who feel that although the prospect seems to be very beautiful, their own lives are the most important!

If at this time, Zhang Mingwei gave them a choice to distinguish these people among them, I believe that these 1,500 health soldiers must have some willing and some unwilling.

However, Zhang Mingwei obviously did not plan to do this, because he was saying again: "You take good care of them, take care of them, and when I come to patrol the camp tomorrow, I will also check your work." I hope you can do this job, if you don't do it well, it will be equivalent to the cavalry soldiers' salaries are not so easy to get, and the honor of the health soldiers is not something that can be obtained by indiscriminately. ”

Hearing this, the first reaction of these health soldiers was to be very surprised. If Guogong is going to go on an inspection, doesn't that mean that he also has to come into contact with those who have a cold nearby? Guogong is not afraid?

When this conclusion was reached, even those health soldiers who were originally reluctant to go suddenly became excited.

Since even the prince is not afraid, it means that the wind chill is definitely not as terrible as the legend! Otherwise, how precious is the life of the prince, how can he be in danger!

After thinking about this, they realized that Xingguo Gong seemed to have said just now that this job is not good, and it is something that has to be done. It should not be paid well, and it seems to be a very honorable thing.

Thinking like this, these health soldiers became very nervous, and they were afraid that they would be eliminated. The mood at the scene is obviously different.

Zhang Mingwei saw all this in his eyes, and was a little satisfied in his heart, and after finishing speaking, he turned his head to Princess Kunxing and said, "Do you remember the song I sang before?" ”

With Zhu Yujiao's cleverness, he immediately understood that what Zhang Mingwei was referring to was the song "Taiping Zhi Changliu" that he once sang.

So, she immediately nodded and said, "Sir, mean, teach them to sing this tune?" ”

Zhang Mingwei shook his head and said, "No, I mean, the duty of the medical soldier is to save the dead and help the wounded, treat the wounded, and treat the sick. Even if they are discharged from the army in the future, they can continue to see doctors for the people. At present, we in the Ming Dynasty are too short of such people. It is necessary to encourage more people to become health soldiers and to become life-savers, so it is necessary not only to be treated well, but also to give more respect to the profession, and to set a professional oath. ”

This statement is very fresh. However, for Zhu Yujiao, the fresher it is, the more interested she is.

Therefore, after listening to Zhang Mingwei's words, she immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay, okay, Mr. is very thoughtful!" ”

Some people may think that this kind of oath-like thing is just a formalism. However, with or without this ritual, the degree of importance is not the same.

Zhang Mingwei made up his mind that he must make the first appearance of the health soldier more grand, so that he can be noticed by the world. I have even thought about it, and I will publish this matter in "Ming Pao" when I go back.

Therefore, I discussed it with Princess Kunxing again, and finally decided on tomorrow's affairs.

………………

Early the next morning, the commanders of all the departments came back to report that the isolation task of Li Zicheng's battalion had been completed.

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he ordered the whole army to assemble on the plain outside Li Zicheng's camp.

At this time, the troops under the original Luo Rucai had been almost reorganized, and naturally they also participated in the assembly.

Because the thieves have retreated, Kaifeng Mansion has also lifted martial law. On the official road far away, some people left Kaifeng City, and some people came to Kaifeng City.

They were a little curious when they saw so many troops gathered. Although they didn't dare to go over, because they knew that there was a plague on the side of Li Zicheng's camp, it didn't prevent them from watching and discussing from afar on the official road.

"What are you saying the army is gathering like this?"

"I heard that the thieves in that barracks are all suffering from the plague, and if you don't know how to gather an army, you want to trap them all in the barracks."

"It's possible, anyway, they are all thieves who plague the people, and it's best to die!"

"No, there was a plague, no wonder the king of thieves abandoned them!"

“……”

Hearing this, a young man in the crowd retorted a little unconvinced: "How can you say that? There are still more than 200,000 people there, so isn't that human life? Isn't it too ruthless to trap them all inside? ”

"They are all thieves, they deserve to die! How dare you talk to them? Someone said angrily, and turned to the man who spoke, as if trying to teach him a lesson. However, when he saw that the young man who spoke was very strong, he finally forgot it.

At this time, among the crowd that came out of Kaifeng City, someone spoke: "I think you have misunderstood the imperial court!" ”

"Misunderstanding what?" When the young man heard this, he asked, "It is impossible for the court to save them, right?" ”

"Oh, yes!" When the man heard this, he immediately said, "Xingguo Gong collected all the ginger and other fiery things in Kaifeng City, and it is said that he wants to boil ginger water for these thieves to drink. If you don't want to save them, as for collecting ginger all over the city? ”

Hearing this, others also chimed in, saying that the imperial court seemed to be collecting ginger and other materials somewhere.

They were discussing, when suddenly a sharp-eyed person exclaimed: "Look over there, could it be the legendary female soldier walking over?" ”

Hearing this, everyone stopped discussing and turned their heads to look over.

Sure enough, I saw a small dragon walking towards the assembled army in the distance.

They were petite, but they were all dressed in military uniforms. What seemed to be a little different was that there was a white piece on their right arm that seemed to be embroidered with something, like a circle.

Seeing this, everyone was surprised, including the strong young man.

"Why does the imperial court still engage these female soldiers, do you really think they can fight?"

"That's it, female soldiers like this, no matter how powerful they are, their strength is always insufficient, and I can beat them five, six, seven or eight each."

“……”

Hearing this disapproving remark, someone who knew a little bit of the inside story opened his mouth to explain: "These female soldiers are not armed with knives and guns, I heard that they are health soldiers, or they are in the army to save the dead and help the wounded, similar to the kind in Langzhong." ”

"What?"

When I heard this, I was even more surprised by the people who heard it. After all, female soldiers are still legendary soldiers, and they have always seen some.

However, like Lang Zhong, a female soldier who saves the dead and helps the wounded in the army is really unheard of.

Those who knew a little bit of the inside story, hearing their surprise, introduced them even more proudly: "You don't know, the salary of this health soldier is the same as that of a cavalry soldier. I'll tell you, this health soldier is amazing.

As soon as he heard this, the strong young man had an opinion, and immediately sneered: "The military salary for them is so high, it can't be related to the rejuvenation of the country, right?" It can't be that he is serving the Xingguo Gong, right? casually borrowed a name! ”

Hearing this, some people laughed obscenely. However, more people are angry and reprimanded.

"Who are you to dare to slander the Duke of Xingguo?"

"That is, with the heart of a villain, you are not that kind of good person!"

“……”

This strong young man obviously didn't expect that Xingguo Gong's reputation among the people would be so high, and he tried to say a little bad thing, which would cause such a big reaction!

In other words, Xingguo Gong is really a good official!

Thinking so, he fell silent, and didn't argue any more.

At this time, suddenly a group of women's voices came, the voices were neat and loud, firm and powerful, and very good: "I swear by the king of medicine, this life to save the life and help the wounded, not afraid of difficulties and dangers, contribute my life!" ”

These words came from afar, and they were heard very clearly. These people who were watching the bustle on the official road didn't speak for a while, just looked in the direction where the voice came.

Although they couldn't see it, they knew that these words must have been sworn by those health soldiers in front of so many court officials and soldiers.

Save lives and help the wounded, defy hardships and dangers, and contribute your life......

These words echoed in their minds for a while.

After a long while, someone whispered and laughed in the crowd: "It's the same as the truth, and I really believe those girls!" ”

Just after his words fell, someone in the crowd exclaimed: "Look, look, those sanitary soldiers have entered the barracks!" ”

When everyone looked, they saw the group of health soldiers, who were immediately recognizable because of the obvious signs on their arms, and were leaving the army and heading towards the camp.

Combined with the resounding oath just now, it is obvious that they are going to the barracks to save the dead and the wounded, to treat the thieves who have contracted the plague.

At this moment, there is no longer any yin and yang weirdness in the crowd on the official road. Ask yourself, even if they are big men, they don't actually have the courage to go into the military camp with the plague.

That group of health soldiers is really not afraid of hardships and dangers to save the dead and help the wounded!

On the official road, I don't know how long there was silence, someone suddenly came back to his senses and said: "I know, the circle embroidered on their arms must be a tiger support!" ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone suddenly realized that the circle must be a tiger support. Because the tiger brace is one of the three items that represent Langzhong. It can make a sound to indicate that Lang Zhong is coming.

On the official road, it was also lively.

"It's really all heroines, admire!"

"Yes, how many people dare to help those who have the plague, especially if they are still thieves!"

“……”

In addition to these words, there are also some discordant words.

"I don't think they are necessarily willing, they must be forced by those officials who have to go!"

"It's really possible that if the officials don't go by themselves, they will let these useless women die!"

"Actually, those thieves are dead when they die, and the officials just want to be bitches and set up archways. Look, it's not that the court doesn't have mercy, the court does go to treat it specifically, but it's useless, then it's no wonder that the court is no wonder! ”

“……”

The strong young man, listening to their words, frowned, and did not know what he was thinking. Even his companion motioned for him to leave, but he didn't notice.

Suddenly, someone screamed in surprise as if he saw a fairy: "Look, look, it shouldn't be me dazzled, right?" How can I see that the person who went to the barracks is wearing a python suit? ”

On the side of Kaifeng Mansion, there is only one person who can wear python clothes, except for King Zhou, and that is Xingguo Gong. And the king of Zhou had already left Kaifeng City before the war, which means that the person they saw was the Duke of Xingguo.

The crowd on the official road exploded when they landed, and there was a lot of discussion.

"Yes, that's right, it must be Xingguo Gong. Have you seen it, the one who guarded him was a brocade guard wearing a black flying fish suit, who else could there be besides Xingguo Gong? ”

"Why does Xingguo Gong want to go in, isn't he afraid of being infected with the plague?"

"Yes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, let alone be a prince of the court? If something happens, who can afford it? ”

“……”

For a while, everyone was very shocked that Zhang Mingwei had entered the barracks. Even the strong young man showed an incredible expression, staring at Zhang Mingwei's figure.

If it is said that it is the imperial court officials and soldiers who have the plague, and even the Beijing camp, then it is understandable that Xingguo Gong, as the commander of the unified army, took the risk to buy people's hearts.

After all, the plague is just a wind chill, and for the rich and powerful, with people with excellent medical skills to follow, the possibility of danger is not great.

However, that big camp was full of what they called thieves, who were to be exterminated. If they are not allowed to fend for themselves, it is already the grace of the imperial court, and there is no need to take risks with the respect of the country!

And that Xingguo Gong still did this, which can only show that he really values the lives of those people in the barracks.

Thinking like this, in the mind of this strong young man, Zhang Mingwei's original voice appeared again.

"I can assure you here that the court will get better and better, under the emperor's hard work, I will not blow it, and I am doing my best, although there are inevitably injustices in the world, and there are corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but the life of the people will definitely get better and better! This is the biggest ideal of my Zhang Mingwei in this life, I will fight for it and fight for it with my life! ”

That scene was still in front of him, and combined with what he had just seen and heard, the strong young man couldn't help but muttered to himself, "Why are you fighting? ”

"We fight for the peace of the world!"

At this moment, the earth-shattering roar was deafening.

I saw that the army gathered in the distance all knelt on one knee and shouted in unison towards the back of Xingguo Gong.

In that army, there were the soldiers of the Beijing camp, as well as Yuan Shizhong's men and horses, Li Zicheng's subordinates, who originally surrendered to the imperial court's official army, that is, Yuan Zongdi's men and horses, and Luo Rucai's men and horses. At this moment, they were all yelling in unison.

This scene once again shocked the onlookers on the official road. Including the strong young man, he also looked up, his face quite shocked.

Why fight? Fight for peace in the world! This must be what the Xingguo Gong said, so his subordinates, regardless of their origins, have the same goal!

The strong young man thought so in his heart, and his eyes, which were a little confused just now, seemed to have become clearer.

He actually guessed correctly, Zhang Mingwei decided to follow the health soldiers into the barracks after taking the oath of the health soldiers, and when his generals dissuaded him again, he once again expressed his ambition.

It seems that Xingguo Gong really went in, thinking about what he said, the big-headed soldiers were obviously moved. If they are as noble as the Duke of the Kingdom, then why should they spare their lives and fight for the peace of the world with the Duke of the Kingdom and end this damn troubled world!

Especially those soldiers who were born as thieves, they were most touched and hated this damn troubled world.

Originally, in Li Zicheng's military camp, there were soldiers guarding each barracks. And in each camp, they are separated by tents, and everything is in order. The people who were quarantined were also very cooperative, staying in the tent and not coming out.

Only when they saw Xingguo Gong inspecting over, they saluted very excitedly, and even kowtowed in the tent.

In the patient area, the health soldiers were busy, and when they saw that Xingguo Gong really appeared, they were obviously very excited, their legs and feet were brisk, and they didn't know how much they had made a lot of money in their work.

As long as Zhang Mingwei appeared, no matter who it was, including those patients, morale was much higher.

Zhang Mingwei inspected all this, and he was quite satisfied in his heart. In the supplementary opinion ordered earlier, someone suggested that vinegar can help recovery, and he accepted this suggestion, and there was a strong smell of vinegar in the patient area.

Zhang Mingwei has enough reason to believe that this plague is just a wind chill, and under the current measures, it should be able to overcome it soon.

However, from this, he also thought of some other things, such as the plague on the Jingshi side, although according to the original history, it would not occur until the beginning of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen.

But when he first crossed over, he had actually found that the outer city of Jingshi was relatively dirty, and rats were running everywhere.

Among the responsibilities of Jinyiwei, there are responsibilities such as supervising the health and fire prevention of Jingshi. Therefore, Zhang Mingwei decided that after defeating the wind and cold plague this time, he would make a special recital and appeal in an open form to explain the formation of some plagues and the transmission routes.

I believe that with this case of wind and cold plague, people all over the country will be more convinced to accept the things they have raised that they have never heard of. Let the vision of the Daming medical community also improve a lot.

……………………

Besides, the strong young man, after observing for almost a day and confirming the affairs of the imperial court officials and soldiers, left with his companions.

A day later, he and his companions appeared in a remote place a hundred miles south of Kaifeng Mansion.

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the population of the Ming Dynasty has decreased considerably, especially in the north, in the Central Plains, but also because of years of wars and natural disasters.

A cavalry army of about 5,000 men was stationed here, but no one found it.

A ruined mountain village is where the banner of this cavalry army is located. In the wind, the word "Li" can be seen from time to time. From what they were wearing, it was a rogue cavalry. Needless to say, it was the cavalry led by Li Guo.

Seeing the strong young man coming back, the thieves he met along the way greeted him respectfully.

This strong young man is Li Guo's righteous son Li Laiheng.

Li Guo happened to be outside the house, and when he saw Li Laiheng coming back, he asked with a smile: "How is it, how is the movement of the officials and soldiers of the imperial court?" Can you get a trick? ”

The so-called stroke is actually infected by wind and cold.

Li Laiheng listened, and while casually throwing the reins of the war horse to the people on the side, he walked towards Li Guo and replied, "No." ”

"No?" Li Guo listened, and asked with a little doubt, "Could it be that the Xingguo Gong is in vain, and 200,000 horses abandoned it, so he didn't get hit?" ”

Hearing this, Li Laiheng did not answer immediately, but looked at the ruined mountain village in front of him and was stunned.

Seeing him like this, Li Guo sensed that something was wrong, so he approached him, patted him on the shoulder, and asked with concern, "What's wrong, what's going on?" ”

was slapped by him like this, then came back to his senses, pointed to the ruins in front of him and said, "Father-in-law, everyone here should be able to live, right?" Where are they now, they're all dead, aren't they? ”

Hearing this, Li Guo immediately remembered what Li Laiheng said to him before. Suddenly, he frowned and said, "Why are you still thinking about those things?" Didn't I say, we just have to fight, just follow the general, what's the good of thinking so much? ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Li Laiheng's expression, and added: "At most, take care of ourselves and do less killing!" ”

After finishing speaking, Li Guo sighed in his heart, it should be that he said more things when Li Laiheng was young.

In fact, those who originally had nothing could also enhance Li Laiheng's hatred for the imperial court, and because of this, Li Laiheng was very brave on the battlefield.

But now, ......

Thinking of this, Li Guo didn't think about it anymore, patted Li Laiheng's shoulder again, and prepared to turn back to the house.

But who knows, at this time, Li Laiheng opened his mouth and said: "Father-in-law, you haven't listened to the things I went out to see with your own eyes this time!" ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't care whether Li Guo agreed or not, he told what he saw and heard.
