"Bastard!! Bold and carried away!! Who gave them the power, gave them the guts, to do such a thing!! ”

Early in the morning, Li Tianyang had been in a state of rage since he received the information from the foreign guards who had just arrived at the Admiral's Yamen Mansion, which was something that rarely happened to Li Tianyang, which made the entire staff of the Admiral's Yamen tremble.

"Someone's coming!"

"Go and find me Wu Jie's bastard, I'm going to ask him face to face!!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers who had entered the gate hurriedly slipped out of the yamen and flew to the military headquarters building to find Chief Wu Jie to report the news.

Wu Jie also came quickly, and learned from the soldiers that Li Tianyang was angry today, although he didn't know what the reason was, but listening to his voice, it seemed to be related to him.

Thinking about it, Wu Jie didn't expect that what he had done in these days could be so big as to make Li Tian grow so angry.

"Lord Admiral, my subordinates report!"

With the gradual improvement of Hongmen's institutional system, the difference between the top and bottom has also been significantly improved, at least during the working time, Wu Jie still made a full posture in accordance with the rules in the face of Li Tianyang and greeted Li Tianyang.

"You explain to Lao Tzu, what the hell is going on??"

Li Tianyang waved his hand, and the document sent this morning in his hand fell on Wu Jie's head.

Wu Jie took the result paperwork, and then looked at it at a glance, during which there was joy, consternation, and confusion on his face.

"I don't know what's going on here, but could it be that they should be unlucky?"

Wu Jie raised his head and looked directly at Li Tianyang with innocent eyes, although he was more happy about the content of this piece of information in his heart, but he was also full of doubts and doubts in his heart.

"My subordinates vouch for it, and since you told me to let go of that plan first, I haven't done anything else!"

“……”

Li Tianyang has been coldly observing Wu Jie's expression, observing his every move very carefully, and at the same time he knows Wu Jie's temper, if it is really his personal affair, it will never admit it.

"Tell me, what's going on up there? What kind of coincidence, that's impossible! ”

Li Tianyang took a deep breath, and then forcibly calmed down his mood, the reason why he would be so angry in a big shame was that he was very worried that Wu Jie, the guy who held the power of the Hongtang Military Department, made these incidents behind his back, and now that Wu Jie flatly denied that he did it, this made Li Tianyang hang his heart and wait.

"This ...... My subordinates did not dare to draw conclusions lightly, and it is said that since the plan was handed over to our military headquarters, I immediately sent it to you, and since then no one has been able to check the plan. ”

Wu Jie lowered his head and pondered, and finally raised his head blankly and replied.

"But in fact, this matter is not a bad thing for us, the outbreak of large-scale smallpox epidemic in the territory of the Jurchen barbarians outside the Guanwai will be a heavy blow to its already insufficient population, and now there are still more than two months before the arrival of winter, even if the other party wants to control the spread of the epidemic, I am afraid it will take a great price and time."

"At that time, even if the situation is controlled, I am afraid that the loss of the other party will be huge, and it will inevitably have a far-reaching impact on its future development."

Although Wu Jie had the difference and the information on the paperwork, he was very fortunate in his heart, originally he was in favor of the implementation of this matter, but Li Tianyang had been hesitant to do the damage to the ordinary people before it was hidden by the snow, and now someone has done it for them, whether it is for himself or for Li Tianyang, in fact, they can make themselves deceive and comfort themselves, not the misery caused by them.

The information on the paperwork came from the sudden outbreak of a large-scale epidemic on the territory of the Jurchens in Liaodong outside the border pass, and it was already the beginning of July, and it was only less than a month since Ma San and they arrived in Shengjing, but in this short period of time, the smallpox plague in the Qing Dynasty suddenly spread among the villages and tribes in the north and south of their entire territory, and they did not even give the Jurchens a chance to control it.

The smallpox virus is a virulent virus, and its incubation period is only five to fifteen days.

"But look at it, in less than a month, there are nearly 100,000 infected people in this Qing Dynasty, and how many patients can survive in the end?"

Li Tianyang was heartbroken by the huge number of diseases among the common people, without Hongmen's cowpox planting technology, and without the Hongmen Health Bureau's more perfect medical environment, the survival rate of patients in the Qing Dynasty, which is very likely to be caused by man-made, is certainly not as high as 70% in Hongmen, and it is more likely that the survival rate is less than half.

"Check, we must check, to see if it is the members of our team who acted privately and caused this plague!!"

Li Tianyang was very relieved that Wu Jie didn't know about it, but then he began to fear that this would be carried out by the middle and low-level generals of Hongmen.

If it was really carried out by members of the Hongmen, and the places where this epidemic occurred were all over the east, west, north and south of the Qing Dynasty, presumably the number of members of the Hongmen who planned this plan must be not small.

To be able to quietly accomplish this matter in the tentacles of the Hongmen outer guards and internal guards all over the place and the bottom of Dayuan Island, the need for careful planning and close cooperation between all members of the Hongmen can be carried out by one or two Hongmen members.

Even if Wu Jielai, the minister of the military department, carried out this plan privately, he did not dare to guarantee that it could be better than the current situation of the epidemic, so it can be seen that if this biochemical epidemic plan was really carried out by other members of the Hongmen without Li Tianyang's authorization, I am afraid that it will involve a wide range of areas, and it will inevitably have a great impact on the entire Hongmen.

"First of all, start from the people who can contact the previous plan, as well as the original author Xiao Shan's side, if it is really our people's doing, don't startle the snake first, I want to dig out this group of daring people!!"

"Understood!"

Wu Jie also knew the severity, so he responded heavily, turned around and went back to the military headquarters to start the investigation.

After Wu Jie left, Li Tianyang recruited the heads of the internal and external guards in Keelung Town, and ordered them to mobilize all the forces they could mobilize to thoroughly investigate the members inside and outside Hongmen.

Even if it was a person from the internal and external guards, Li Tianyang didn't dare to believe it all at this time, and after taking them away, Li Tianyang turned around and recruited people from the inspection department, and even the internal and external guards themselves were among the targets of his suspicion.

For a time, Hongmen was calm on the surface, but in fact, it was secretly surging.
