Chapter 365 Penicillin

Of course, I wish Yu Jia not everything is smooth sailing.

At the behest of Lin Xiao, he repeatedly sent people to the depths of Maolu Mountain in western Hubei to contact Li Laiheng's "Thirteen Kuidong Families", who were fighting the Qing Dynasty alone, but was refused.

Zhu Yujia was very patient, and in order to increase his affinity, Chu Fang sent several groups of people, and expressed his desire to jointly resist the Qing Dynasty many times through oral and written letters.

In the end, Chu Fang's second leader and deputy head Yuan Zuocai personally went to be a lobbyist, and he was finally received, but after a deep talk, Li Laiheng still politely refused the request for cooperation, let alone accept the reorganization.

Zhu Yujia was quite dissatisfied with this result, but Lin Xiao advised him not to be anxious, because he understood Li Laiheng's distress.

First of all, just three years ago, that careerist Sun Kewang actually besieged the rest of Li Zicheng because Gao Bizheng, who was also appeased, because Gao Bizheng, Dang Shousu, He Jin, Li Laiheng and other generals who entered Shu from Guizhou, the famous general Gao Bizheng and others were all slaughtered, and only Li Laiheng escaped by fighting.

Therefore, after this painful lesson, Li Laiheng must be wary of the imperial court and any warlord, and if he does not show the necessary sincerity, he will no longer easily trust others.

Second, Li Laiheng's Maolu Mountain base area is located in Xingshan County, the most remote part of Jingzhou Prefecture, and geographically speaking, it is already in the depths of the original and closed Shennongjia High Mountain, and it is still far away from the forces of the captive army, and the Qing army has no time to take care of it for the time being.

Therefore, at present, Li Laiheng is not under much pressure, and he is letting go of the expansion of the base area, and implements the policy of self-sufficiency in the fields and rest with the people in the base area within a radius of more than 150 miles, so he has won the support of the people, and the people call him "the king of Xiaochuan", and there is really no need to take refuge in anyone for the time being.

Third, although he cares about the suffering of the people in the mountains and has a great personality, he is not a man of his word.

Among the generals who are currently working with him, there is a suspicious and fickle person, and this person is Hao Shaoqi (who was once appeased and renamed Hao Yongzhong), who has formed a deep bond with Jiao Lian.

Because Li Laiheng and Hao Shaoqi are cooperative relations, in order to prevent splitting, Li Laiheng does not dare to dictate power whenever he encounters a major event, and must seek the opinions of Hao Shaoqi and others, and Hao Shaoqi has already made it clear that he would abandon the imperial court and would rather occupy the mountain as a king than be an official army again.

Therefore, Lin Xiao has enough mental preparation, he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he might as well wait until the situation is clear.

……

Lin Xiao's fifth decision was to telegraph Xiao Kaifeng, who was far away in Annan's defense, and asked him to lobby the Zheng Nahu group of the Northern Dynasty to launch a campaign against the Southern Dynasty as soon as possible.

Recently, Lin Xiao received information from some people who went to Zhancheng to buy grain, and the Ruan family of the Southern Empire of Annan had been harassing and bullying the Zhancheng country, and there was a tendency to encroach and annex the city in one fell swoop.

For hundreds of years, the Champa State has been the most tame subject state of the Ming Dynasty, but the country has few small people and is unable to resist, as expected, the Nanning Imperial Court should have received a letter of help from the lord of the Champa State, but I don't know how the short-sighted people in the small court will deal with this matter.

Lin Xiao can't care what the small court thinks, since the Ruan family is restless, then okay, the opportunity has come, and the teacher is famous!

"If you want to occupy the city, I want your life and your food!"

In Lin Xiao's plan, after this battle, the territory of the Southern Dynasty can be temporarily assigned to the Zheng family of the Northern Dynasty, but the occupation of the city is my Ming Dynasty's.

Annam and Champa are both grain producing areas, there is nothing to say, aside from other factors, at the moment the country urgently needs a large amount of food to save lives!

If the food obtained from this battle was not enough, then Lin Xiao planned to take the opportunity to occupy the city with troops and forcibly buy grain from the surrounding places such as Chenla (present-day Cambodia), Siam (present-day Thailand), Laos (present-day Laos), Burma, and Manraka (present-day Malaysia).

The suzerain's country is in trouble, as a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, you can do it yourself!

It's best to be obedient, disobedient? Then don't blame me for doing it early!

In Lin Xiao's plan, after the re-emergence of the Ming Dynasty, the best outcome for these Southeast Asian vassal states is to become a tame vassal state.

The most disobedient will be flattened directly!

Because of this, Lin Xiao ordered Ding Shuai's first regiment to return to Qinzhou quickly, and there was a plan to support Xiao Kaifeng at any time.

……

Lin Xiao's sixth decision was that after he laid down the big army, he was not going to divide his troops to garrison, and he planned to entrust this matter to Zheng Chenggong.

This is also a matter of no choice, there are too few soldiers to capture them, and so many territories cannot be defended at all.

Lin Xiao planned to borrow some sea ships from Zheng Chenggong on this condition to transport his direct troops and baggage to the mouth of the Yangtze River as soon as possible to help him launch the Jiangsu-Zhejiang campaign.

At present, only by rapidly reviving southern and Zhejiang provinces can the grain problems in several provinces south of the Yangtze River be alleviated and strive to tide over the months of scarcity.

……

I don't know when the rain stopped, and the sky was full of stars, hanging out a semi-circular moon.

"It's not early, let's go to bed early."

Lin Xiao came back to his senses from his vast thoughts, turned around and smiled at Ling'er, who was looking at him infatuately, and said.

"Brother,"

Ling'er put down the arm on her head, lowered her eyelids, and muttered sadly, "You're leaving tomorrow...... In the future, who will cook for you? ”

"Silly girl, will I have nothing to eat in the army?"

Lin Xiao smiled and said softly, "You follow Doctor Yu, study medicine hard, and ...... in the future Brother has a headache and brain fever, it's up to you. ”

"Got it......"

Ling'er's eyes turned red, and she hesitated, "Brother......"

"Don't worry,"

Lin Xiao chuckled and comforted, "Xiao Biaorui is a warrior, he knows how to take care of himself." ”

"Hmmm......"

Ling'er bit her lip and wanted to stop talking, hesitated for a long time, but said, "Then you can rest...... I'll help you lay out the quilt. ”

"I'll do it myself, hey......"

Lin Xiao raised his hand to stop but didn't stop, looking at Ling'er's back, he shook his head with a wry smile, he didn't know what to say......

Due to one thing, Lin Xiao decided to let Dr. Yu stay in Hong Kong, and at the same time hold another training course for medical staff, organize people to secretly try out a highly effective drug.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ling'er was also left behind by him to study medicine with Dr. Yu.

Although Ling'er is reluctant to give up, she is a knowledgeable and sensible person, and she knows that this is the eldest brother taking care of her and arranging her future development direction.

Tonight is the last night before separation, and the little girl has a thousand knots in her heart, but she doesn't know how to express it.

Lin Xiao didn't know this, his mind was all on the battlefield.

It was only a few days ago that Yu Jifan found an opportunity to tell him the truth and explain his busy work in Qinzhou, so he made this decision temporarily.

……

It turned out that during this time, Yu Jifan organized several people on Baisha Island and was secretly cultivating penicillin.

"Penicillin?"

Lin Xiao was shocked when he heard this.

As a modern soldier and a member of the special forces, Lin Xiao naturally has also learned some basic medical knowledge, so he knows a little about penicillin.

Penicillin, which was only invented in the early 20th century, was considered a major breakthrough in the history of medicine.

(Today's question: In order to solve the grain shortage in Jiangxi, Lin Xiao made many decisions, one of which was to ask Liu Xulei to tell Zhang Tongchang to let his new Ming army leave Jiangxi as soon as possible, where to march?) ）

Thanks: "The passing years are flying" and "Looking up at the happiness of a 45-degree angle" for the reward! Thank you dear!
