Chapter 59: The Divine Doctor (Second Update, Asking for Recommendations, Asking for Collections)

The general is sick!

Even on the general's ship, only a handful of people knew about it.

After laying down the Guazhou. Zheng Chenggong gathered the generals of the whole army on the flagship to discuss how to attack Zhenjiang after the Battle of Guazhou. All of them are in favor of quick war. There is no other way but to fight quickly. It has an army of more than 100,000 people

A one-day delay in the operation will bring great attrition. Military rations alone are insignificant.

The question is how to fight quickly. In addition to sending Zhang Huangyan deep into Nanjing and Wuhu to respond, there was also a problem that the Manchu Qing sent reinforcements, half of the nearly 20,000 reinforcements were cavalry, which was undoubtedly the biggest obstacle to the Northern Expedition for the Zheng family's army, which had almost no cavalry.

Although he has a high fever and can be the commander of the whole army, Zheng Chenggong has no time to rest.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ A night raid is necessary. ”

Zheng Chenggong Ganhui, who was sitting on the couch chair, said that he had thought so too.

"When do you think it's the right time to do it?"

"It will take about two or three days to prepare."

"Can't it be faster?"

Zheng Chenggong's brows furrowed slightly, the time dragged on too long.

"Prepare hastily, maybe sooner. However, if you can win or not, then you don't

Got it. ”

"That's it. Prepare well for two or three days! ”

Zheng Chenggong said with a frown. This time it wasn't because the night attack couldn't be dated, but because of a headacheβ€”a pin-and-needle ache.

With a splitting headache, Zheng Chenggong couldn't help but grit his teeth, holding on to the armrest of the couch, he thought to himself:

"It's that sick ...... again"

After the Battle of Ningbo, when the fleet was heading north from the mouth of Hangzhou Bay, he had an illness once, and his symptoms were the same as now. At that time, he had a high fever and was unconscious.

Apparently it's another attack now.

"General? Your ...... Is it happening again? Quick, quick, Medic! ”

Gan Hui said nervously. He knew that Zheng Chenggong had a bad illness last time, and the situation was not optimistic at that time, and now it was the time of the big war.

As a doctor on Zheng Chenggong's ship, Xu Shikun was once a famous doctor in Fuzhou, because he was unwilling to shave his hair before joining the Zheng army, his medical skills are naturally the best among all military doctors, after he arrived at the big tent, he saw Zheng Chenggong with a high fever lying there with a pale face.

"Hey! At this time, this disease is entangled...... Nanjing is just around the corner......"

Maybe it was because of the fever, so Zheng Chenggong's voice seemed a little whimpering, and even a little blurred, so that others couldn't hear what he was saying clearly.

"It's the same as last time, maybe it's a few days before last time, and the disease hasn't healed yet......"

Xu Shikun's words made everyone's minds sink, everyone knew how serious the general's illness was last time, and this time, the old illness recurred, could it be ......

"Don't worry, it's not a few days, it's just a minor illness, what's the big deal with the cold when you march and fight......

When Zheng Chenggong was holding his body and laughing, Xu Shikun looked at the general and thought that another medical officer mentioned Zhu Zhiyu's son's illness, which seemed to be very similar to the surname of the country. Originally, the medical officer only did his best to prescribe some medicine, but who would have thought that Zhu Zhiyu went to invite another person, and that person cured his illness.

"General, maybe there is someone who can cure this disease!"

Knowing whether the general's body could recover, Xu Shikun, who was of great importance to the Northern Expedition, hurriedly said.

"Who? Is that the miracle doctor? ”

As soon as Xu Shikun's words fell, Mrs. Dong asked eagerly, as a woman, she seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and her face was full of anxiety.

Zheng Chenggong is sick?

When boarding Zheng Chenggong's ship, Zhu Mingzhong's heart was only confused, and it seemed that there was no mention of Zheng Chenggong falling ill in the historical materials of the Northern Expedition.

But come to think of it, at the time of this kind of war, even if Zheng Chenggong falls ill, they will do everything possible to conceal the news, so as not to affect the morale of the army.

What disease will Zheng Chenggong have?

When entering the cabin, Zhu Mingzhong did not see Zheng Chenggong, but saw a dignified-looking woman.

"You are Zhu Mingzhong?"

"The last general will meet Mrs. Dong!"

Zhu Mingzhong, who got the mention, hurriedly hugged his fists and saluted, Mrs. Dong looked at the young man dressed as a military general in front of her, and looked at the appearance of only twenty years old, can such a young man really cure the prince's illness?

"I heard that you cured Old Master Zhu's wind malaria?"

Wind malaria? Could it be that Zheng Chenggong also has malaria?

Puzzled, Zhu Mingzhong hurriedly replied.

"Mrs. Hui, if there is no miracle medicine left by the ancestor, the last general will not be able to cure his illness and cure wind and malaria, and he needs special medicine."

When he said these words, Zhu Mingzhong's heart had already set off a wave of waves, and now it is still decades before cinchona bark powder was introduced to China, that is to say, Zheng Chenggong can only resign himself to fate. There are many types of malaria, with falciparum malaria and vivax malaria being the most common. Faciparum malaria has the highest mortality rate, but that doesn't mean vivax malaria isn't dangerous, especially in this day and age. Although most patients will recover after infection, there will still be protozoa in the body, and they will recur when the body's resistance is weakened.

If Zheng Chenggong's patient is indeed malaria, even if he recovers, it will have a great impact on his body. Could it be that his early death in history was related to malaria?

Hearing that it was a "miracle medicine" left by the ancestors, Mrs. Dong suddenly asked nervously.

"Do you have any special medicine?"

"Mrs. Hui, there are still some pills in the medicine box here, and I ask Mrs. to let the last general diagnose the general first."

In fact, there is no need for further diagnosis, fever, body aches, cold and heat, all these are symptoms of malaria. The symptoms look a lot like those of a cold.

Looking at Zheng Chenggong lying on the bed, although the two meetings were not very pleasant, but at this time Zhu Mingzhong thought a lot in his mind, in history, it was precisely because of Zheng Chenggong's untimely death that Zheng Chenggong was at ease in Taiwan, even in the rebellion of the three feudatories, he never sought to seize the mainland, and even attacked Geng Jingzhong to the short-sighted. If Zheng Chenggong is alive, he will definitely take this opportunity to go on another northern expedition, and he will definitely wave his army into the Yangtze River again, and then seize Jiangnan, and then the situation in the world will change greatly. Without the tax money and grain in Jiangnan, how could the Manchus quell the so-called "Rebellion of the Three Feudatories". Perhaps China's history will also change radically.

Even if it is 10,000 steps back, Zheng Chenggong failed to seize that opportunity, as long as he survives, then the expedition to Luzon will not come to naught, so as to gain a broader strategic depth for it, even if Zheng loses Taiwan, they can withdraw to Luzon, and with the navigation technology of the Manchus, it is impossible for them to send a fleet to expedition Luzon. At that time, the banner of the Ming Dynasty will continue to flutter in Luzon for a hundred or two hundred years...... What kind of changes will take place in recent history?

Suddenly, at this moment, a rather majestic voice came from Zhu Mingzhong's ears.

"What are you thinking?"
