What's worse than cholera? It is a hidden danger from within, and the chairman said that the fortress is the easiest to break from the inside!

"Grain, clothing, gunpowder, cannonballs, salted meat, salted fish, vegetable oil, big oil, medicine, medicine, medicine, medicine! Medicine again! Zheng Anhua looked at the signs of each baggage truck, and among the hundreds of baggage trucks, the vehicles carrying medicines actually accounted for more than 20 percent!

"Brother Zheng, what are you looking at?" The one who rode the horse was Bao Zhongchen, the director of the Law Enforcement Department, and with him came Niu Qiandao, the director of the investigation room who never knew what his eyes were looking at. Behind them were hundreds of men.

Seeing these two, Zheng Anhua suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, a chill ran down his back, and he hurriedly put on his helmet quickly, "Two adults, it's nothing, I'm looking to see if the brothers of the baggage team want to help." ”

From the time they got on the ship, these two guys, who were known as fierce in the South China Army, boarded the ship with a large number of men and went south with the army, what did they come to do?

Could it be said?

Zheng Anhua suddenly felt a little dizzy, and he remembered the rumors that had been circulating in the army a few days ago: Wang Bao arrived at the border of Siam and Chenla, wantonly surrendered and surrendered the rebellion, expanded his strength, and prepared to stand on his own in the border area of northern Siam and Chenla.

These many personnel from the statistics office and law enforcement department went north with the army, did they really want to attack Wang Bao?

That's not right?! If you want to arrest and quell the chaos, as long as the troops accompany you, why do you need to be accompanied by a large number of doctors from Huimin Pharmacy? Are there so many drug companions in the accompanying baggage? Moreover, before leaving, a large number of over-the-counter medicines were forcibly stuffed into everyone's accompanying backpacks, "These medicines must not be lost, you just lose the knife and gun, and the lord will not blame you, but these medicines cannot be lost!" This is the guarantee of your life! ”

Two days later, the army crossed Ayutthaya and arrived on the outskirts of Nakhon Ratchasima.

"Is this my camp for the South Central Army?" From Zheng Anhua, Niu Qiandao, Bao Zhongchen to the ordinary soldiers of the Nanzhong Army, they all exclaimed.

With Nakhon Ratchasima as the core, within a radius of more than ten miles, the flag of the South Central Army is fluttering everywhere. The sound of people shouting and neighing horses resounded in the sky.

However, the shouting of people is the cry of pain that is powerless in the face of the illness of relatives, and the neighing of the horse is the retention of the life of the master who is about to die. In the past, the phoenix flag, which was waving in the wind on the battlefield, made the enemy retreat and frightened, fluttered weakly in the hot wind.

The front and middle battalions of the Guards guarded a large number of baggage supplies, as well as the large and small artillery of the artillery division, drove into Nakhon Ratchasima.

Along the way, it seems to be a ghost in the world.

Along the way, the camp outside the Phoenix Camp, that is, the camp tents of those tribal soldiers, were scattered in the open space outside the city, according to the different tribes, there were no deep ditches and high bases required by the Southern Chinese Army outside the camp, and there were no garbage pits, drainage ditches, and toilets were dug in the camp, and sewage and filth were all over the ground, and human dung and horse urine were piled up on the side of the shack built with grass and tree branches, and above the dense shack, groups of flies were buzzing and flying. From time to time, someone staggered out of the shack, supported the sick body with a rudimentary knife and gun, and excreted in a slightly wide place. Several people carried a body and walked through the middle of the shack, the body was still moving slightly, and the mouth was still emitting unclear syllables, but it was still carried to a deserted place, and it was thrown away, as if it was not a life, but an extremely terrible and filthy thing.

The Siamese camps were slightly better, as they were once the state's economic army, with more formal camp settings and sanitary requirements. However, even so, more or less sick numbers can be seen in the Siamese barracks.

Behind the two-story camp, new graves are undulating, silently telling the people what is happening here.

The people forcibly held back the nausea in their hearts and drove quickly into the city of Nakhon Ratchasima.

A series of cannons rang out, and the handsome flag with the word "Wang" that had been fluttering in the city for a long time fell quietly, and was replaced by a larger handsome flag with the word "Li". The one-foot-and-two-foot flag, the yellow flames, the white moonlight on a red background, and a big plum character shook the eyes of the people in the camps everywhere.

"Where's Wang Bao!" Sitting behind the handsome case, Shouhan looked at Peng Kun and Ah Jin, the two battalion officers of the Phoenix Battalion, and his face sank like water. "Why don't you come and see you?"

Peng Kun and Ah Jin glanced at each other, "My lord, Commander Wang has also contracted this epidemic and is currently suffering from a fever in the back hall. We were afraid that his bad luck would be contaminated with the lord's body, so we never let him come out to meet the lord. ”

Regarding the outbreak of the epidemic in the Phoenix Battalion, Shouhan had already learned about it in the military newspaper, but what he didn't expect was that the situation was so strict. Even Wang Bao, the commander of the First Army, himself fell ill!

"Two battalion officers, I don't know what disease is prevalent in the battalion? Why? What are the symptoms? Wang Tingqi of Huimin Pharmacy, as the person in charge of medicine and health, also came with him this time, although he rode a horse, but the wind and dust all the way really made the old gentleman a little tired, but he couldn't take a break, and immediately began to ask about the situation within his business.

Seeing Wang Tingqi, Ah Jin immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Mr. Wang! Mr. Wang! You're here, and things are easy to do! I hope that Mr. will save Ah Jin's brothers this time! ”

This epidemic was discovered when Wang Bao ended the Battle of Surin Mansion and waved his army south. At first, it was found that there were people with vomiting and diarrhea among the tribal soldiers, and the officers at all levels did not care, but they thought that they did not pay attention to their diet, and those soldiers ate a little too much, and they were not very comfortable eating. However, more and more people have such symptoms, and many people have diarrhea as many as 10 or 20 times a day; The excrement is like water, and the slightly better ones are like rice porridge.

The scope of the disease also spread from the tribal barracks to the Siam troops and the Phoenix battalion. Within a few days, the entire army had found the sick, and no one had been spared, and dozens of people had died in the tribal barracks that were the first to be discovered.

Wang Bao knew that something was wrong. At this time, if it was discovered by the Siamese, the Northern Route Army was afraid that the whole army would be exhausted, and the horses would not be able to return to their hometowns. So, while inspecting the battalions and soothing the wounded, he ordered his troops to move south quickly and compress the Siamese army as much as possible. At the same time, the momentum will be increased to prevent the Siamese from counterattacking after discovering the actual situation of the Northern Route Army. Wang Bao was relieved when he saw the envoy sent by Siam, claiming that he had sent someone to Hejing to ask for peace and begging the army not to go south for the time being, but at this time, he himself fell ill.

"What is the current situation in the battalions?" Shouhan listened to Ah Jin and Peng Kun's situation report, his face looked a little better, and he saw Niu Qiandao, Bao Zhongchen, Zheng Anhua and others standing there outside the door, nodding to him with extremely subtle movements, and then asked the two.

"My lord, there are fewer patients in my Phoenix camp, less than thirty percent, because my camp strictly implements the rules and regulations of the lord, and the camping, diet, and camping are all in place, so there are fewer patients. The Siamese soldiers were about forty percent or more than half, and the tribal soldiers were between six and seven percent. ”

So much? The number of patients was solid and frightened, such a proportion of patients, if according to the worst plan, the Northern Route Army could cancel the formation, and the Phoenix Battalion could cancel the number.

In the past few years, Shouhan has also been a big killer, and he has seen many scenes of rivers of blood, and has ordered the lives of countless people, but like this, tens of thousands of people are infected at a time, and the outbreak of infectious diseases that will endanger life is even more terrible than on the battlefield.

"Lord, I want to go to the camps to have a look, although I have a general direction at the moment, but I also have to look at the symptoms of the patient to finally draw conclusions."

"It's a matter of human life, and Mr. is naturally right to do this. Kim! Shouhan called over to Ah Jin, "You accompany Mr. Wang to look around, so that he can determine what kind of disease those sick people have!" You have to protect Mr. Wang! He saved your life and your family's life! ”

"The net worth and life marked are given by the lord and Mr. Wang, so naturally I don't dare to be unsatisfied!"

Wang Tingqi, accompanied by Ah Jin, took a group of doctors to check the epidemic everywhere and ignored it.

"Peng Kun! You give me the order! The officers of the Phoenix Battalion and above, the commander of the artillery team and above, and the Siamese soldiers with more than 500 men will be summoned in the lobby in an hour! ”

Peng Kun knocked on the leader's order and left.

"The lord, the front and middle battalions of the guards under the standard, have taken over the city defense of Nakhon Ratchasima, and have sent additional defenses to the treasury, arsenal, granary, baggage, gunpowder and other materials." Zheng Anhua clasped his fists and saluted, explaining his actions to Shouhan.

"The lord, under the command of manpower, has entered each battalion of the Phoenix Battalion separately, looking for officers at all levels to ask questions and find out the situation." Bao Zhongchen's law enforcement department is also progressing well.

"My lord, it seems that there is some instability among the Siamese soldiers and tribal soldiers! In several camps, some people privately connected in series, intending to take Wang Bao as the call to stand on their own mountains in this area. The number of people involved is about 3,000 people, and there are seven camps. ”

After listening to Niu Qiandao's report, Zheng Anhua couldn't help but be shocked, but it turned out that the rumors in private were also well-founded! I don't know if Wang Bao can escape this catastrophe this time?

"Are our officers involved?" Shouhan's voice was cold, so cold that it made people feel frightened.

"According to what I know so far, no! It's just that some new annexes and surrenders are in tandem below. It was nothing more than Siamese soldiers, former officers, tribal chiefs, and the like. Niu Qiandao replied in a low voice.

"Anwar, you order the artillery department to immediately take over the artillery team of the Phoenix Battalion, and the gunners who are not sick are under the command of the artillery division."

"When Shaoqing went to the court, he ordered the baggage team to go to the various battalions of the Phoenix Battalion to distribute medicines and rewards, and by the way, disarm them. Anwar, you led people to set up near the Shuaifu, and if there is a bad situation, you will be killed! Heizi, Lao Niu, you two, follow me, if anyone moves during the court, take it immediately! ”

After Wen Yan comforted the sick general Wang Bao and inquired about his thoughts, Shouhan could clearly determine that Wang Bao himself had no dissent!

Three trumpets sounded, and the middle door of the Shuai's mansion was wide open.

From the temporary gate to the gate of the Shuaifu, hundreds of spearmen were lined up on both sides, holding six spears in their hands, wearing plate armor, wearing a newly made steel eight-petal hat and helmet, and the feathers on their heads stood proudly.

Behind the spearmen, there was a flag not far away, the battalion flags of each battalion, the officers' recognition flags, and the flying dragon flag, the flying tiger flag, the flying biao flag, the flying leopard flag, and so on, which made the officers who came to the court to attend the ceremony suddenly shocked.

In front of the gate of the Shuaifu, two artillery forts were built with sandbags, two large Franc machines were placed there, and next to the forts, the gunners were dressed in cyan jackets, red trousers, leggings, and the same eight-petal hat and helmet on their heads, and their right hands were crossed at the waist, full of spirit.

Along the gate of the Shuaifu, hundreds of firecrackers stood on two tiers on the left and right, holding firecrackers in their right hands, and boxes of sub-medicine made of ochre-red buffalo leather hung from a slap-wide belt around their waists. The discerning man peeked in, the cap of the gun head was removed, and the faucet on the trigger was raised, and it could be seen that it was ready to fire at any time.

Inside the gate of the Shuaifu, there were 200 sword and shield soldiers standing in the courtyard, holding a shield in their left hand and a sword in their right hand, looking at the officers who were rushing in.

The big and small officials of the Phoenix Battalion didn't care at all, originally! I came to see the lord during this time of battle, and the lord is bound to be rewarded. However, the leaders of the Siamese troops were related. There was even a little problem in his heart, and his legs trembled and he trembled.

Wang Bao, who was sick, insisted on performing the court ceremony, struggled to get up from the hospital bed, and with the help of Peng Kun and Ah Jin and others, he knelt down and bowed three times, and Shouhan did not let him salute anymore, and ordered someone to build a bamboo bed, let Wang Bao lean on it, and salute above the lobby.

The officers of the Phoenix Battalion stepped forward one by one according to their respective formations and saluted their commanders. Peng Kun and Ah Jin replaced Wang Bao to introduce these people's deeds and military exploits in the process of this expedition to Shouhan.

After seeing this, they stood on both sides in shifts, and only waited for the Siamese soldiers behind them to salute before rewarding them.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the gate.

It was Wang Tingqi who rushed back from outside the city!

He didn't care about the strict curfew in front of the marshal's mansion, and with a whip he whipped the Dian horse under his crotch straight to the steps of the gate before he could stop, and with the support of several musketeers on the station, he staggered off his horse and jumped off his horse, and ran all the way to the lobby, which made the Siamese officers who were standing in the courtyard and waiting to participate in the great confusion, this old man, what happened?

"My lord! Be! …… Yes, it's cholera! ”

Suddenly, there was an uproar in the courtyard!

All of them were almost full of fear.

"Inherit the Lord's military order! Attention battalions! 1. All patients and suspected patients should be isolated and treated immediately, and the items they have used should be disinfected! 2. Strengthen drinking water disinfection and food management! Do not eat raw water and raw and cold food! 3. Each battalion shall be re-encamped in a unit, and all camping huts must be separated by at least one zhang distance, dig drainage ditches, dig toilets, and those who excrete anywhere shall be immediately punished with twenty rods! The officers of each team and battalion who fail to supervise and organize themselves will be punished with forty rods! Dismissal of officers! ”

Ask for points, ask for collection, ask for likes, ask for recommendations, ask for evaluations, ask for rewards.
