Looking at Jiang Deshen's distant shadow, Sun Chuanting couldn't help but sigh, "I don't want to have ministers in the Beijing camp who govern the army like General Jiang Shen, and Fu Jun really has the ability to know people." ”

Liu Ximing hurriedly snorted in his heart, "Hahaha, there are talented people in the world, there is no shortage of talented people at any time, the key is to see if the superior can use it, these soldiers are all from me who have fought Jianyu, so they naturally know the roots." ”

Sun Chuanting nodded and said no more, he is also a person who leads the troops, so he naturally knows the truth of cultivating henchmen, and Liu Ximing is already in a high position, so he does not doubt him.

This is the common problem of this era of the Ming Dynasty, both the emperor and the courtiers are all on guard against military generals, but the ministers who are also civil ministers rarely think about this aspect.

On the one hand, it is because Wenchen cannot directly lead the army, and on the other hand, it is also because no Wenchen has ever led the army to rebel for hundreds of years, which has made the Ming court relax its vigilance.

On the side of the road at the front of Liu Ximing's army, Wu You, who was standing down, didn't expect Jiang Deshen to bring back the news that Liu Ximing agreed to meet him, which made him surprised and delighted, and hurriedly brought a salute and marched with the army.

That night, Liu Ximing settled down in Yanjin County, and recruited Wu You.

"Grass people Wu You, meet Liu Zhongcheng."

Seeing Wu You, who was taking a new bath, Liu Ximing smiled and pointed to the stool on the side to signal him to sit.

"Mr. doesn't have to be polite, since Mr. is Langzhong, I came to meet this time, I think there must be something I want to teach me, and please Mr. make it clear."

Liu Ximing's kind attitude surprised Wu You, this is a governor.

"Don't dare to preach, Corporal Zhongcheng Lixian, Wu is ashamed."

Wu You thought about it and plucked up the courage to say: "The grass people were originally from Nanzhili, because they heard the Henan epidemic, they specially came to offer their meager strength, since the Chongzhen years, the world has been plagued, so the grass people have the heart to write a plague theory, for future generations to learn from." ”

"Recently, I read Zhongcheng's high theory in the Central Plains Daily, and I know that there are bacteria and other theories in the world, and it is not a secret that before that, the grass people have treated several villages according to the methods that Zhongcheng said, and the effect is indeed remarkable."

Wu You said with a hint of shyness on his face, "It is precisely because of this that when I heard that Zhongcheng was coming, the grass people dared to come, just to ask for a lesson about this bacterium, and to ask Zhongcheng for forgiveness." ”

It is not surprising that Liu Ximing is more and more ashamed of Wu Youyue, these days everyone likes to cherish the broom, whether it is a craftsman or a doctor, all of them cling to their knowledge and refuse to pass it on easily.

However, Wu You's talk about the plague theory made his brows jump, and he vaguely remembered that there was indeed such a person in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, who was willing to risk the danger of infection and ran around, just to eliminate the plague.

Could this person in front of you be the same person?

Liu Ximing was moved in his heart, and immediately bowed to Wu Youshen.

"This official thanked Mr. Wu for the people of the world, the epidemic has nothing to do with Mr., but Mr. is willing to take risks and go to the dangerous place in person, such a spirit, it really moved Liu Ximing, if there are a few more people like Mr. in my Ming Dynasty, why worry about the world."

Wu Youzhen hurriedly bowed, "Don't dare to do this, don't dare to do this, the grass people are just doing their best, and they don't deserve to be praised like this." ”

"Sir, don't panic", Liu Ximing hurriedly smiled and helped him up, "What this official said is from the heart, such a righteous person as Mr., this official still wants to ask His Majesty for credit." ”

Without waiting for Wu You's politeness, Liu Ximing explained again: "As for the epidemic prevention matter, Mr. Don't worry, although Liu has a lot of research on Gewu, but the epidemic is a major event after all, there is a famous doctor surnamed Gu Mingnan under the command of this official, and he is doing this epidemic prevention medicine and other things. ”

"In this way, thank you Zhongcheng", Wu You was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed.

At this time, Wu You, who was still immersed in joy, did not know that it was precisely because of his doctor's benevolence that after seeing the newly established modern medical system of Liujiacun Infirmary, he also threw himself into it, and thus became the ancestor of epidemic prevention in later generations.

His book "Treatise on the Plague" became a classic of medicine in later generations, and thus became famous.

Like Wu You, who is immersed in the troubles of happiness, there is also Chen Zilong.

After Liu Ximing's handwritten letter arrived in February of the thirteenth year, Chen Zilong thought about it, and Liu Ru was pouting, seeing that the period of filial piety was over, he traveled lightly and came all the way to Henan.

His first stop in Henan was naturally Queshan County, Runing Prefecture, under the rule of his friend Huang Zongxi.

However, as Huang Zongxi said in the letter, over the years, the Liukou have ravaged the Central Plains, Runing Mansion is located at the junction of Henan, Huguang and Nanzhili, and the five battalions of Gezuo, Zhang Xianzhong and others have come and gone, and have come and gone.

Previously, several prefects and counties of Runing Mansion were killed due to the destruction of the city, and now even the position of the prefect of Runing Mansion is vacant, and no one dares to take office.

Fortunately, Huang Zongxi is not an ordinary person, he just arrived in Renqueshan, and he subdued the official gentry of Queshan with his skill and fame, so as to control the military and civilians of Queshan, and managed to keep the city under the impact of the rogues.

It is said that this shape should not last long, but fortunately, Liu Ximing took the initiative to remind him, Dou Yuquan and others are working in Nanyang Mansion next to Runing Mansion, if there is a disagreement, he can go to Dengzhou and other places for help.

With the mentality of being suspicious, when the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution Zuo attacked again, Huang Zongxi had to ask Dou Yuquan, the governor of Dengzhou, for help.

As a result, Dou Yuquan was not ambiguous, although there was no military order from the governor of Henan, and local officers and soldiers were not allowed to move, but Dengzhou relied not on the official army, but on the men and horses formed by the Liu family themselves, known as the Dengzhou militia group.

In this way, when the old man of the 5th Battalion of the Revolution Returned to the Ma Shouying and was in full swing to attack the city, nearly 10,000 men and horses of the Dengzhou militia suddenly came out and beat the 5th Battalion of the Revolution to collapse on the spot, and the soldiers and people of Dengzhou who watched were terrified.

However, this group of militias didn't care at all, and immediately withdrew after relieving the siege of Queshan County, saying that they didn't say anything about pulling out the silver, which moved Huang Zongxi.

It was under these contacts that Huang Zongxi, who was greatly shocked, began to pay attention to Dengzhou, Neixiang and other places next door.

This attention is terrible, Huang Zongxi suddenly found that in the entire territory of Henan, there really seem to be so many places that can be called paradise.

This is Dengzhou, Neixiang.

Although these two places are located in the places where the rogue travels, and Dengzhou and other places have repeatedly complained to the province, Huang Zongxi is so smart that he quickly cleared his mind from the clues.

This Dengzhou and the inner countryside are in an emergency, but the bitterness is true.

In the past, they were either sent out of the country under the watchful eye of the militia groups in the two places, or they were beaten by the militia groups and had to flee in all directions, but they rarely heard the news of their villages and towns being slaughtered.

Huang Zongxi, who was taken aback, also sent a special letter to Dou Yuquan to ask why he didn't report to the Henan Governor Yamen truthfully, who knew that Dou Yuquan threw a sentence over and blocked his mouth.

If the Henan Governor Yamen knew that the Dengzhou militia had such a strong combat power, would the Dengzhou militia still be able to stay in Dengzhou to protect the territory and the people?

Even Huang Zongxi, who is worried about the country and the people, has nothing to say, can he make Dengzhou give up his own safety to save the whole province of Henan.

Although this is the case, since then, Huang Zongxi has had more eyes on Dengzhou and other places, not only sending people to explore Dengzhou's governance policies in many ways, but also wanting to promote it in Queshan.

It's just that the means of merging land, forming village associations, and purchasing and selling grain in Dengzhou and other places are not used by him at all, and the mountain is not like Dengzhou and Neixiang that have been secretly cleaned up by the Liu family, and the local gentry have long put the fields of the fleeing people into their pockets, where can he be so nonsense.

With no choice, Huang Zongxi could only watch Dengzhou prosper against the trend in the troubled times under Dou Yuquan's rule.

According to Huang Zongxi and Dou Yuquan's correspondence, by the beginning of the 13th year of Chongzhen, there were already more than 700,000 people under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou alone.

Of course, all of these people are not on official information, and all of them are put into their own pockets by the Liu family.

But the difference between the Liu family and the ordinary gentry is here, as long as Dengzhou is still controlled by the Datong Society, the imperial court will be able to receive more or less taxes from the Liu family.

For this reason, Huang Zongxi has heard a lot of news, and some people have long been thinking about waiting for Dou Yuquan and others to be transferred to other places this year to seek the position of governor of Dengzhou and other places.

It's just that Huang Zongxi, who is familiar with Liu Ximingge, laughed in his heart, since this kind of fat has eaten Liu Ximing's mouth, how can he still spit it out.
