More and more malaria patients in Hongdu began to develop symptoms, and after an incubation period of half a month, they began to concentrate on the outbreak.

At the most, more than 20 people showed symptoms in one day, and the only thing to be thankful for was that the vast majority of these people were isolated, otherwise it would spread and grow geometrically.

After the outbreak of concentration, the number of people with symptoms decreased sharply, which shows that those harsh measures are still effective.

The people in Hongdu City are not stupid, and some people have long realized that the city is infected with plague for such a big move. There was a wealthy merchant who ran to Watergate in the middle of the night to bribe the soldiers and ask to leave the city.

The rich merchant's entire family was immediately sent to prison, and all his belongings were sent to the Governor's Mansion, including his handsome little daughter.

There are more knowledgeable and experienced people in Hongdu, but before the epidemic spreads on a large scale and causes panic, no one dares to act rashly, otherwise the Metropolitan Governor's Office will not mind taking a few more heads.

Especially after the epidemic has been effectively controlled, many people have become more and more cooperative with those harsh measures.

There are even smart people who find that these measures are aimed at mosquitoes, and realize that mosquitoes are the source of the epidemic, so they go to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to offer a very effective mosquito repellent prescription, only saying that in order for the Metropolitan Governor to have a good night's sleep, they will never mention the epidemic.

Although the rich businessman saw that his brain was not smart enough, it was a pity that his huge family business and beautiful daughters were cheaper than Zhu Wenzheng.

Most of the governors have won beauties and property, the key is that the epidemic is under control, that is called a joke with a big heart and a big heart, and from time to time he has to run to the city wall to see Chen Youliang.

"Didn't Chen Youliang burn the ship today?" The Grand Governor looked a little disappointed.

Ma Du said: "Chen Youliang has burned five or six ships in total, and it is estimated that the epidemic is almost under control." Otherwise, where would you have the heart to come and steal the city two days ago. ”

The night before yesterday, Chen Youliang sent a small group of elites to steal the city, but unfortunately he was beaten very badly.

Zhu Wenzheng said with a smile: "Chen Youliang must be looking at Hongdu City, there are fireworks everywhere every day, thinking that there is a mess in the city, and he wants to win without a fight." ”

Zhu Wenying smiled: "He may think that we are burning corpses, but it is not worth it that we are driving away mosquitoes, hehe......"

Deng Yu said: "The siege of the city is not overcome, and he is infected with the plague, it is estimated that his food is not much, and the food of hundreds of thousands of people is not so easy to satisfy." At this moment, the morale of the Han army has been discharged, if it were me Chen Youliang, I would have returned to Wuchang to regroup, and I don't know what he was waiting for. ”

Ma Du said: "Of course, I'm waiting to meet Wu Guogong in Poyang Lake." The successive battles have suffered heavy losses for us, and it has not yet broken his muscles and bones for him, even if his troops and warships are less than thirty percent, and his strength is above Wu Guogong, how can he return to Wuchang in disgrace. ”

Zhu Wenzheng frowned, "It's been a long time since Zhang Ziming reported the news, why hasn't my uncle's army come yet, and nothing will happen." ”

During this period of time, he was busy dealing with the epidemic, and without the pressure of Chen Youliang besieging the city, he almost forgot about Zhu Yuanzhang's coming to help.

Ma Duxin said: "It's been a few days, it should be on the road now!" ”

On the night of July 16, the huge ships of the Han army, which had been cruising near Hongdu, suddenly withdrew eastward, and the soldiers in the city were all rejoicing. Before dawn, Zhu Wenzheng immediately sent a large number of scouts out of the city from the Water Gate, investigating the movements of the Han army and the location of the reinforcements.

The dog is already the squadron leader, and there are 100 people under him, so it stands to reason that he is a hundred households, and it was not his turn to do this kind of thing as a scout.

However, after repeated battles, the veterans in the city were injured too much, and some had to be recruited from among the recruits, and when the Captain asked who had worked as a companion in the pickle shop, the dog immediately raised his hand to say that he had done it in the pickles, so the dog immediately became a temporary scout, and his task was to find reinforcements and connect with them.

It's not that the guys in the pickling shop are so good, it's because the guys in the pickling shop often have to follow the shopkeeper to Poyang Lake to collect fish from fishermen, and even complete the work of collecting fish alone, and they are often in the lake and are relatively familiar with the situation in the lake.

Zhu Yuanzhang must have brought a lot of reinforcements, and the target should be very large, but Poyang Lake is larger, the smoke waves stretch for hundreds of miles, and the shoreline of the lake is more than 3,000 miles, so it is necessary to find someone who is familiar with the situation in the lake.

But the dog is not, although he has worked in the pickle shop, but the clumsy tongue is a little wooden, the shopkeeper took him twice, and did not let him go, and has been staying in the city to be responsible for picking and killing fish, saying that he is a man, but in fact he is a small worker.

Of course, this is not the dog's fault, it is Zhu Wenying's fault, it is that he did not make it clear, but the consequences are borne by the dog. According to the instructions of Lord Duwei, they needed to bypass Chen Youliang's fleet and search for the eastern shore of Poyang Lake, which was where reinforcements were most likely to stay.

There are many groups of scouts, but when it comes to finding reinforcements, they naturally have to be separated. After separating from the other scouts, the dog quickly fell into a daze, but he knew that the place where the fish belly was white was the east, and it should be right to go that way.

So under the guidance of the dog, they soon encountered a group of scouts of the Han army, and the rowing veteran was shot to death by the other party at once, and the dog was furious and immediately counterattacked.

With him, a sharpshooter, he didn't need his team members to shoot at all, and two shots were to kill two Han scouts. The Han scouts were so frightened that they immediately turned around, but the dogs, who were not afraid of death, did not take the opportunity to flee but turned around and chased after them until they were shot one by one

"Kuroko, take their bows, arrows, knives, guns, and armor, and you can make a barrel." Whether it was the children of poor families who grew up would live their lives, who had been fighting in the city before, or who had the opportunity to capture enemy supplies for the first time.

"Captain Wu, do you want clothes?"

"Take it too, I guess Lord Du Wei doesn't want this, we can take it back and wear it for the family."

"Do you want silver and copper coins?"

"Take it, but remember to hand it over."

"Otherwise, we can just drive the boat away."

"It's too cumbersome to do this, just bring the oars, and although the wooden shield can't block the gun, it's still okay to block the bow and arrow."

In the end, nothing was left but a boat and a few slick corpses.

"Captain Wu, another enemy ship is coming, what should I do?"

"What else can I do, fuck it! Give me the archers, and the rest of you come! ”

"Captain Wu, there are several more ships, what should I do?"

A few of them have been shooting guns and firing guns, so it's no wonder that they don't recruit people over.

"Dry ...... Run! ”

Later, when Ma Du learned about this, he couldn't help but sigh that the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers. Zhu Wenying is too, this scout can be done casually, can he just know the way, let alone a person who doesn't know the way.

Isn't it more important to complete the mission than to kill two more enemies, and these recruits still have a long way to go before they want to become a qualified soldier.

It was also a pity that there was a lot of fog on the lake that morning, and the dog and his three men rowed one person and one oar, and escaped violently, and Chen Youliang's main giant ship was only four or five miles away from them at that time.
