Zhu Xiancai followed behind Cao Guerrilla, and several other female military doctors walked in Thang Long City under the supervision of the guards of the guards.

Along the way, Zhu Xiancai has been looking curiously at the Annan people on both sides of the road. Although Annan has always been a vassal state of the Central Plains Dynasty, it is a foreign country after all, and Zhu Xiancai has always wanted to know whether the daily life of the people of these countries is different from that of the people of the Ming Dynasty, so he looked at it curiously.

It was the beginning of the afternoon, and most of the people were asleep after eating, and many idlers or small traders were lying on the roadside with straw hats made of reeds covering their faces.

There are also a few people who move around the streets. Most of these people are big men with jobs, more than a dozen people are walking on the street carrying something, and most of them are followed by a few people wearing Ming military uniforms with knives and guns in their hands.

There are also diners eating in restaurants on both sides of the road. Because there are few guest officers, you can also see the restaurant and diners sitting together and chatting leisurely; Occasionally, men and women would come out of the houses on both sides of the road and pour sewage on the drains, and the sight of passing Ming soldiers would immediately show a flattering smile.

In addition, there are some slaves who seem to be sent out by the master to do things. When these people saw Zhu Xiancai and his party, they would nod and say, "I've seen the Great Tomorrow soldiers." ”

But other than that, it is no different from the performance of the people in the city of the Central Plains, and you can't even see that you have just experienced the war. If it weren't for the occasional blood stains on the side of the road that had not yet been cleaned up, I am afraid that there would be no war yesterday.

Zhu Xiancai felt a little disappointed, and said in a low voice: "How can you be the same as the people of Shandong?" ”

"What are you talking about, Sister Zhu?" Nari asked suddenly.

"Oh, I mean, these people are similar to the Han people I saw in the Han city of Daming, and I can't even tell that I just fought yesterday." Zhu Xiancai said.

"When I was studying in the school in Kunming, I once learned: more than 400 years ago, Annan was returned to the imperial court of the Central Plains, and it was managed by the Han people in the Central Plains for more than 1,000 years, so it is not surprising that it is similar to the Han people." Nari said.

Zhu Xiancai was noncommittal. It's just a portrait of the Han people, it's very abnormal to be so calm. There was just a war yesterday. But he didn't say anything more.

Not long after, the group came to a yamen, and the plaque on the main gate of the yamen reads: "Hanoi County Ya". Cao Guerrilla said a few words to the soldiers guarding the door, showed him something, and walked in with Zhu Xiancai and others.

……

……

On the other side, Mu Sheng walked into the original Shenglong Mansion, sat on the chair and closed his eyes for a while, and then instructed the guards: "Go and call Nie Yi and Xu Jingchang's deputy Qianhu." ”

"My lord, Xu Yanshi's deputy Qianhu was injured during the attack on Duobang City, and he is still recuperating in Duobang City. Now it is a hundred households under his command who was temporarily appointed by Xu Yishi as a deputy thousand households, and presided over the affairs of the city together with Nie Yi. ”

"Then call the two of them!" Mu Sheng said.

The guard agreed, and trotted out of the room. After a while, the two of them walked in together, bowed and saluted, "I've seen Mu Houye!" ”

"No need to be polite." Mu Sheng returned the gift.

He then didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "I called you over because I have something to ask you." He then asked about the details of the attack on Thang Long City and about the gentry in the city.

When he heard them say that they were able to break through the last line of defense of the Annamite people because of a brilliant idea from a small banner, he raised his eyebrows: "Shangzhiwei is worthy of being a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, even an ordinary soldier has such insight. ”

"When attacking Duobang City before, there was a soldier surnamed Lin in Jinwu's avant-garde who gave very useful advice to Chang Jizong, so that Duobang City could be successfully captured; Now you Yulin Left Guard also has such a person. This general must ask His Majesty and Zhang Dashuai for their credit! Of course, as a senior official, you have also made leadership contributions, and you will also show your merits together. ”

The two of them bowed.

Then he talked about the situation in the city. However, Nie Yi and Sun Bingwen had only been in Thang Long City for only one day, and before that, they were only officials like Qianhu and Baihu who didn't care about the affairs of the imperial court, so they didn't know much.

Mu Sheng suddenly felt a little worried. Although it has not yet been explicitly stated, there is no doubt that His Majesty will not let Annan continue to be a completely independent subject state in the future, and it seems that there are two ways to deal with it: one is to abolish Annan and set up three divisions, which are directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court; The second is to add a vassal king to become the monarch here, and the court appoints the right and right kings to assist him.

In either case, Thang Long Castle is the capital of Annam, and even if the provincial government of the province or the capital of the vassal kingdom is not located here in the future, this city cannot be neglected.

And to control such a city, it is necessary to control the gentry in the city; As long as the gentry bow their heads, the people will not be a problem.

If you want to control the gentry in the city, you must take advantage of the fact that the Ming Dynasty has just arrived and they are still afraid of the Ming Dynasty to set rules for them, otherwise it will be difficult to do it after a long time.

"But how do you make the rules?" Mu Sheng rubbed his head and muttered to himself.

He used to guard Yunnan, but Yunnan only had a total of more than 200,000 registered population, not counting the guards and soldiers, and counting the naturalized barbarians, so he could not produce a very powerful gentry, and he had no experience in dealing with the gentry, so he didn't know how to start at all.

He was thinking hard about it, and suddenly thought of something, and kindly ordered Nie Yi and Sun Bingwen to retreat, and then said to the guards: "You immediately return to Baihe in a hurry of six hundred miles, and invite His Royal Highness King Min and His Royal Highness King Jingjiang to come to Shenglong City." Whatever your Highnesses are doing, be sure to invite them both! ”

Looking at the back of the guards leaving, Mu Sheng said to himself: "I won't deal with these things, but someone will, not to mention that if Your Majesty divides the vassal king in Annan, it will definitely be the king of Jingjiang here." ”

"Anyway, no matter how well I take care of Thang Long City, it can't be considered a military merit, and it is not beneficial, so why bother to do such a thing? Just leave it to the King of Jingjiang; King Min also has experience, which can just be assisted. ”

……

……

Zhu Xiancai and several other female military doctors followed Cao Guerrilla into the former Hanoi County Office, turned a few corners, passed by several courtyards, and walked into a house.

A few of them were about to walk into the room, when Cao Guerrilla suddenly stopped, turned his head and said to a few of them solemnly: "What you want to treat is the hero of the Ming Dynasty's capture of Shenglong City this time, which is very important, you must treat his injuries seriously." Also,......"

Nari pouted secretly: "We have been instructed many times along the way, and we have long known that this person is the hero of the conquer of Thang Long City, and we should not be negligent; also knows that his identity is not ordinary, he is the son of a high-ranking official and dignitary, and he has promised to treat his injuries seriously many times, and he is still so chattering, I really don't get annoyed. The few Han officials I have seen before have not been so nagging. ”

However, when Cao Guerrilla finished speaking, she still bowed and said yes, and then walked into the inner room under the leadership of Xu Jingchang's guards.

As soon as Zhu Xiancai walked in, he saw Xu Jingchang lying on the bed very unhappy with a bundle of moon-white cloth wrapped around his waist.

"He's Xu Jingchang?" Zhu Xiancai wondered in his heart. She lived in the capital for a short time with her father Zhu Yu during the Hongwu period, and of course she also met the children of the Xu family, the Chang family, and the Li family, including Xu Jingchang. In her impression, Xu Jingchang is not like this.

But then she laughed to herself: "It's been five years since I last saw him, I'm fifteen this year, he's nineteen, and everyone's appearance has changed. That's why I dared to come and treat him without fear of being discovered, didn't I? ’

Zhu Xiancai retracted his thoughts and looked at Xu Jingchang in front of him.

Xu Jingchang saw several women walking in, even though they were wearing military doctor's clothes, he immediately said, "Why did you find a few women to show me injuries?" How does this work? Get them out! ”

"Xu Lishi, they are the most skilled in traditional Chinese medicine among the military doctors who came with the right army, especially when dealing with external injuries, so their subordinates selected a few of them to treat their injuries."

"It won't work either!" Xu Jingchang said loudly: "If it's an internal medicine department that takes the pulse, it's just that, I'm suffering from an external injury, how can I let a woman come to see it!" You too, why didn't you notice that women were mixed in when you first accepted these military doctors? And let them follow them to Annam? ”

Cao Guerrilla was just about to speak, but Na Li spoke first: "Xu Yanshi, are you looking down on our women?" In our Miao Village, women and men are the same, there is not so much prejudice against women as you Han people, many places are still women as local officials, all of which have been recognized by the edict issued by the Ming court, why, do you dare not recognize the edict of the imperial court? ”

"What's more, our Miao women are different from you Han women, it's not that you don't go out of the door, you can only do housework, whether it's fishing, hunting, or going into battle to kill the enemy, you can pick it up, why do you look down on us?"

Xu Jingchang was suddenly confused by her words that seemed to be Zhuge Lian's crossbow. He had never quarreled with a woman - he was fighting with his own relatives, and he would not quarrel with a shrew in his capacity - and he didn't even know what to say for a while.

At this moment, Cao Guerrilla interjected: "That doctor, how can you talk to Xu Yishi like this? Even if what Xu Yishi said is not very respectful to you, you can't talk like this. Don't retreat yet. ”

He was sweating profusely. Xu Jingchang's status is precious, if he is angry and wants to deal with Na Li because of this, he will have to work hard even if he stops it. While asking Na Li to step down, he looked at Xu Jingchang nervously, as long as he said that he wanted to deal with Na Li, he would immediately send everyone out and 'dissuade' Xu Jingchang.

But who knew that Xu Jingchang was stunned for a moment and then said: "Wait! The girl was right, but I was narrow-minded, so I would like to ask a few doctors to treat me. ”

Cao Guerrilla was overjoyed! Although he felt that this situation was very abnormal, he didn't have time to think about it, and immediately asked Zhu Xiancai to come forward to treat him.

Zhu Xiancai took the order, walked to the side of the bed with the necessary items, and said softly: "Lord Xu, it may hurt a little, please bear with it." ”

"I don't care about being injured on the battlefield, let alone the pain. You can just cure it, don't worry about anything else. Xu Jingchang said.

Zhu Xiancai didn't speak again, took out the medicine and utensils for treating the trauma, and began to treat the injury.

Xu Jingchang didn't care about her, but looked at Nali who had just spoken; But he inadvertently saw Zhu Xiancai's movements, and immediately set his eyes on her.

In Xu Jingchang's opinion, this person is very strange. Not only does she look like a well-educated Han woman in her every move, but she also seems to be somewhat familiar in her appearance. He felt that he should have seen someone who looked like her, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

"Are you really a Miao person?" Xu Jingchang suddenly asked.

Zhu Xiancai's hand stiffened for a moment, and then he said casually in a non-standard Chinese dialect: "Of course, the Minnu is a Miao person, from the Third Department of Education and Education in Lin'an Mansion. ”

"I see. I thought you looked a lot like someone I had met, and I thought you were Han. Xu Jingchang said.

"Both Han and Miao people are the people of the Ming Dynasty, and their appearance is not much different, and it is not strange for a Miao person to look alike with a Han person." Zhu Xiancai said lightly.

"Also, it's me Meng Lang." Xu Jingchang smiled and did not speak again.

After a while, Xu Jingchang wrapped the moon white cloth around him again and said, "Lord Xu, the wound is fine, it has been treated." However, the ointment must be applied once a day, and the adults can ask their guards to apply it. ”

"Oh, it's already done?" Xu Jingchang straightened up, twisted his waist, and said to Zhu Xiancai with a smile: "You are worthy of being the most outstanding doctor in the military medical institute, and your medical skills are really smart, I am afraid that there will not be a few doctors in the capital who are more skilled than you." ”

"The adults praised it falsely, and the people didn't dare to be ashamed." Zhu Xiancai saluted and retreated.
