Chapter 63 [Quelling the Epidemic]

Taking advantage of the setting sun, General Anxi sent 2,000 soldiers to pretend to be homeless people to come to the city of Hengzhou Mansion, and the Ming soldiers defending the city found that there were homeless people approaching and did not dare to open the city gate easily, so they asked, "Where are you people?" Why did you flee to Hengzhou Mansion? The people who were questioned were stunned for a moment and replied, "Oh, we are fleeing from Xiangxiang County, and please open the door quickly and let us in." ”

Just as the soldiers were about to open the door, General Ming Hengzhou: Mo Linfei, I don't think something is right, he doesn't think the people in the city are homeless? Because most of the homeless people are in tatters! And the face is black and basically no different from a beggar, but the people in the city are neatly dressed, and the face is very white, and the whole does not look like a homeless person.

It's too late to stop the soldiers! The soldiers at the gate of the city had already opened half of the city gate, and the displaced people quickly poured in so that the Ming army could not move, and the general of Ming Hengzhou quickly shouted, "Stop them quickly, you must not let this group of displaced people enter the city!" As soon as the words fell, the homeless people took out the sabers they carried and slashed the Ming army, and also seized the wind and fire on the Ming army to blow up the Ming soldiers, and the eight kings three hundred steps away from the city ordered artillery cover, and led the cavalry to occupy Hengzhou Mansion in one fell swoop, forcing the governor of Minghu Guang in the city to retreat to Qiyang County, Yongzhou Prefecture, and the residents of Yongzhou Mansion in the nearby area learned that the Ming army was defeated! Thinking that the Liukou would inevitably follow, they organized a flight together or a companion on the way, and at this moment there were almost no troops in Yongzhou Mansion!

However, Prince Guiduan of Ming, Prince Jiyin, and Prince Huizhuang of Ming were worried that the Liukou would kill Yongzhou Mansion, and they were also worried that the Ming army under the Governor of Minghuguang would come to loot the mansion! After all, half of Governor Wang's soldiers were paid by robbery, and the behavior of the Zuo family army was as arrogant and unreasonable, so this Ming army would be defeated again and again as soon as it encountered thieves! They didn't dare to go head-to-head with the army of thieves.

The next day, Minghu Guang deputy commander-in-chief: Kong Quanbin, arrived at Yongzhou Mansion, they were not busy arranging defense to resist the thieves, but the first time to run to rob the government treasury silver with a cart full load, the local people saw that it was a group of officers and soldiers who only knew how to rob and did not know how to resist the thieves were very helpless, and happened to meet Minghu Guangxun to press back to the Yongzhou Mansion, he ordered the deputy commander of Minghu Guang not to oppress the people, and sent troops and horses to escort the three kings to flee to Guangxi Chengxuan Zhengsi Pingle Mansion.

Before leaving, Prince Guiduan's fourth son, King Yongming County: Zhu Youlang, clasped Minghu Guangxun's hand and said, "Now I am worried about internal and external troubles!" The army and civilians do not want to go into battle to kill the enemy, but fight in the nest! After the widow and his father withdrew from Guangxi, they still hope that the governor will take care of his body, and he must not fight hard with the enemy, if there is no chance of winning? You can retreat to Jiangxi to declare the political secretary to preserve your strength. In order to appease the hearts of His Royal Highness the King of Yongming County in the Ming Dynasty, Ming Lake Guangxun nodded silently and agreed to send them away, and then returned to Yongzhou Mansion to take out his graduation silver two to recruit warriors and organize soldiers to resist the Liukou.

On the other side, the epidemic situation in Tongguanwei has also been almost treated by Wu Youke, many seriously ill soldiers have also been rescued, and the soldiers of each battalion have recovered well on the whole, but despite this, Wu Youke still sends people to give medicine to patients every day, and the face towel on his face still cannot be taken off at will.

And the Shangshu of the Ming Army, who came back from inspecting the military situation outside, saw that the soldiers in the battalion had improved greatly, so he passed on Wu Youke to come to the account and asked: "Doctor Wu is worthy of rejuvenation!" Unexpectedly, the epidemic of patients in all battalions was so completely cured, the governor was very grateful for the special gift of 100 taels of silver as a reward, and asked Dr. Wu not to refuse! "For Wu Youke, who has always been low-key, the silver two are something outside his body! He immediately excused himself and said, "No, no, no, how dare the old man ask for the silver taels of the Governor!" Besides, the doctor already has a parental heart, which is the old man's duty and does not need to be rewarded! If the Governor insisted on thanking him, the old man asked for these silver taels to be given to the people outside the Tongguan Acropolis who had just recovered from the epidemic. ”

Seeing such a righteous and awe-inspiring Doctor Wu, it made the Ming Soldiers Department Shangshu admire him very much, he ordered the Ming Qinzhou Guards to send two silver to the people affected by the epidemic, and set up a banquet to invite Doctor Wu to drink two cups, for which the Ming Soldiers Department Shangshu also asked the soldiers to invite other military doctors to the banquet together, and the soldiers chatted while walking: "This epidemic is thanks to the help of Doctor Wu, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable!" Another soldier said, "Isn't it!" I've heard that it seems that there was an epidemic after the last time the soldiers transported food, could it be...? ”

At this time, the commander of the Mingtong Guanwei happened to come over and said, "What are you two talking about? You can't talk freely while walking! ”

The reprimanded soldiers walked away in a gloomy manner, and Ma Wei happened to pass by to find out this important news? Although it was only heard from the small talk of the soldiers, Ma Wei felt that there was a question? Because the Tongguanwei granary is in the city, it stands to reason that it is impossible for the soldiers to carry food to encounter the epidemic? Unless there is an epidemic in the city? Secondly, the soldiers and civilians in the city lived separately, and soldiers were not allowed to break into people's houses at will, so it was impossible to come into contact with the plague under normal circumstances. After thinking about it, Ma Wei still can't understand what the reason is? I went to the barracks to find Wu Junzhen and the two to discuss, and when I saw Wu Junzhen patrolling by the stove of the logistics unit, Ma Wei immediately stepped forward and pulled him to sit at the vegetable table next to him and chatted, "Brother Wu, do you think Tongguanwei will have a second granary?" ”

I saw Wu Junzhen looking at him with surprised eyes and asked, "Brother Ma, why did you say this?" Then Ma Wei told him all the things he heard, and after listening to the story, Wu Junzhen guessed about the granary outside the city? Suddenly, he had an idea, and analyzed: "Isn't it the land of the common people and rich merchants outside the city?" Could it be that the commander of the Tongguan guard privately sent people out of the city to plunder the grain, so as to bring the epidemic outside the city to the city? After listening to Wu Junzhen's analysis, Ma Wei suddenly woke up, and he laughed three times and said, "If that's the case? Then everything will be revealed! However, Wu Junzhen still didn't analyze it thoroughly, so he asked Ma Wei, but he didn't expect that Ma Wei planned to surprise him and not tell him for the time being, but took him to the Wei Command Post to find Inspector Sun.

Time came in a blink of an eye, the breeze blew quietly, and the Ming soldiers standing guard were still standing upright, and the Ming soldiers who were sitting on the west city of the drum tower in the Tongguan Acropolis raised his wine glass and said to the military doctors, "Come on, come on, this governor made an exception to drink a glass today, and salute all the doctors who saved lives and helped the wounded!" After saying that, he drank it all very boldly.

The military doctors sitting on both sides saw Inspector Sun's warm hospitality, and they were embarrassed to refuse, and they raised their glasses and said, "I waited for the epidemic to be cured this time, thanks to the concerted efforts of everyone, and the tenacious resistance of Inspector Sun's training of the Tongguan guards on weekdays to eliminate the catastrophe. ”

Everyone picked up the wine glass and drank it, but the wine glass in front of Dr. Wu was not moved, and the unbelievable Ming Soldier Department Shangshu put down the wine glass and asked, "Does Dr. Wu have something on his mind?" Why don't you tell us about it? I saw Wu Youke reply with a sad face, "Master Qiqi, according to the old man's years of medical experience, most of this epidemic is caused by man-made?" These words immediately aroused the warning of the Ming Military Department, and he hurriedly asked: "I don't know where Dr. Wu saw that it was artificial?" ”

At this time, Wu Youke had some concerns, so he looked at the guards on the left and right, and the Ming Soldiers, who understood his intentions, quickly withdrew the guards, and Wu Youke continued: "Master Inspector, according to the old man's observation, the four gates in the territory of this Tongguan guard are closed, and the soldiers and civilians live separately, it is impossible for the army and civilians to have an epidemic?" And this epidemic spreads the plague through fleas, skin-to-skin contact, breathing, and spitting! Under the four-door confinement, it was impossible for the soldiers to come into contact with the outside world, and the epidemic outside the city was diagnosed by the old man's mentor, Dr. Zhao, through people's breaths. ”

Hearing this judgment, the Ming Soldier Department Shangshu was very surprised, he also felt strange that it was impossible for a soldier to go out, and even if a soldier went out, he must have a pass, just as the Ming Soldier Department Shangshu was wondering, several military doctors next to him asked, "Could it be that there are generals in the army who go out of the city without permission?" ”

These words instantly attracted the attention of the Ming Military Department Shangshu, who thought that it was possible but didn't know who would do it? He carefully analyzed that the four generals of the Qin family under his command would definitely not go out of the city, so the remaining commander of the Mingtong Guanwei and the Mingtong Guanwei Zhenfu might go out of the city? After all, the rest of the generals have important responsibilities and can't leave at all, and Mingtong Guanwei Zhenfu is the person who guards the south city gate, is it possible to go out?

At this moment, Wu Junzhen and Ma Wei came to the Wei command post, and when they saw that Inspector Sun was not here, they asked the guards outside the door and said, "Do you know where Master Inspector has gone?" The guards shook their heads and said they didn't know! Wu Junzhen was very disappointed and sighed! happened to meet the commander of the Mingtong Guanwei: Fang Huaquan, who came over with a stack of account books and saluted, "Xiaguan see Master Qian, Master General, dare to ask the two adults are here to find the Inspector?" The two hurriedly nodded and asked, "Commander Wei, does Governor Wei know where Inspector Sun has gone?" ”

I saw that the governor of the Mingtong Guanwei replied: "The lower officials saw that the commander of the Qinzhou Guard went to invite the military doctors to the west city of the Drum Tower for dinner, can the two adults go to the Drum Tower to have a look?" So the two hurried to the west city of the Drum Tower, and when they walked to the bottom of the pavilion, they were stopped by two guards with spears and said, "The Governor is having dinner with the military doctors, and no one is allowed to approach, please forgive me!" ”

But Wu Junzhen was just an impatient, he went to report to the soldiers, but the soldiers had just been removed by Inspector Sun, and they didn't dare to report at all, so they had to wait and wait, Ma Wei saw that he was a little anxious and comforted, "Brother Wu, don't be anxious!" The Overseer is eating inside, and it is estimated that we won't see him for half an hour, so let's think about how to tell the Overseer about this first, right? ”
