When the two sides were actively deploying troops, the surrounding generals and officers clearly felt the changes, and the most obvious of them was Wang Guangxing, the chief soldier of Yunyang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The end of the Ming Dynasty was the era of the rise of the heroes, Wang Guangxing's three brothers were among the representatives, and his brother Wang Guangen and younger brother Wang Chang participated in the peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty in the early years, and was later recruited by the Ming Dynasty to defend Yunyang (now Yunxian County, Hubei), and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in 1645 with Xu Qiyuan, the Yunyang Fuyuan of the Ming Dynasty.

The head of the city changed the banner of the king, and the elder brother Wang Guangen was appointed as the general soldier of Xiangyang, while Wang Guangxing was appointed as the general soldier of Yunyang.

Haoge was defeated by the fourth (Sichuan), Yunyang and Xiangyang and other places The strategic position was more prominent, and the Wang brothers were self-contained, although they surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, but they only listened to the tune and did not listen to the seal, and maintained too much independence.

In April 1647, the Manchu court decided to change the semi-independent status of the Wang brothers, and in April 1647, the elder brother Wang Guangen was deceived by the Manchus into Beijing, and used this as a threat to the Wang brothers to fully obey the Manchu court.

Wang Guangxing and Wang Chang were forced to lead their subordinates to oppose the Qing Dynasty with seven or eight thousand troops on the 29th of the month, occupying the Yunyang and Xiangyang regions, and then sent envoys to Huguang to contact He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, and sent envoys to contact Yang Xuan, the governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu.

Hearing the envoy's report, everyone was in trouble, of course, until the opportunity was rare, if the northern expedition was sent to control Hanzhong and Xiangyang, so as to almost cut off the Qing army's southward passage, it could quickly change the combat situation in the south.

But in recent years, the four (Sichuan) foundations have basically been hollowed out, and now there is no surplus grain in the state capitals, and the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, and nothing without food is equivalent to nothing.

After thinking about it, Yang Xuan was still quite unwilling, and looked at everyone: "Everyone, send 30,000 troops, and consume 1 liter of food per person every day, so 300 loads are indispensable."

Even if it is transported by ship or tricycle, the transportation conditions have been greatly improved, and 400 quintals per day are indispensable.

I want to go to Hanzhong, can you get together a little food, even if it is two months of military rations, 25,000 quintals is enough, you can't save money. ”

Senator Liu Liang shook his head and sighed: "My lord, you don't know that in order to relieve the victims, you have distributed the 30,000 loads of military rations for emergency relief.

It is now June, and at least the rice in the fields will not be harvested until August, when the food shortage can be alleviated slightly.

But before that, there was a food shortage in various places, and just last month, the adults mobilized various battalions of soldiers and horses to go into the mountains to hunt, or go into the water to fish, ostensibly to train the army, but everyone until this is just to deal with the food shortage. ”

The inspector Qian Bangqi sighed: "You guys, you didn't leave me a hand, did you?" You don't have a small treasury, do you have a little food? So I can take it out for the Northern Expedition.

Now that the Wang brothers occupy Yunyang and Xiangyang, it is a rare opportunity,"

But everyone had no surplus grain in their hands, so they had to wait until after the autumn ploughing before they could lead their troops to the expedition.

Just when everyone was helpless, disaster struck again.

Chengdu County ordered Yang Youren to stumble over, saw Yang Xuan and said, "Big, big, adult, it's not good." ”

Yang Xuan was shocked in his heart, and said with a smile: "Yang County Order, if you have something to say, there is a high top when the sky falls, say it slowly, what is the big deal?" ”

Yang Youren shook his head again and again and said: "My lord, this morning someone said that there were a lot of dead people in the south of the city in the past two days, and the little one took the medical officer to inspect it, and the medical officer said that it was a plague, my lord, this, how is this good?" ”

The hall was amazed, and their faces turned white.

In previous lives, avian flu, mad cow disease and other illnesses made people talk about tigers, and there was a government that controlled bird flu through coercive means, but compared to bird flu, it was a small thing.

There are not many deaths from avian flu, and the plague is "a human transmission of more than 100 families, no one is exempt, a family of dozens of people, no one is the only survivor", it can be said that it is a human killer.

In medieval Europe, in order to escape from black blood, not only did it promote the Renaissance, but many people fled to the deep mountains and old forests.

Some people who study history believe that Li Zicheng was able to successfully capture Beijing, mainly because of the plague epidemic, many people in Beijing were suffering from plague at that time, and many soldiers defending the city could not stand up at all.

Since the Qing army entered Sichuan, due to the large number of killings, the corpses in various places have not been well disposed of, so these corpses have mildew and produced many germs, resulting in the generation of plague sources.

Yang Xuan returned to Chengdu, although he let people collect the corpses and bury many corpses deeply, so that although the environment was slightly improved, the water source may have been polluted, coupled with the people's living difficulties, some villagers even ate some dead things, so that the plague still broke out.

Yang Xuan personally took Chief Medical Officer Huang Xuemao, Deputy Chief Medical Officer He Xideng and others to discuss countermeasures.

Medical officer Luo Youxing and others talked eloquently: "My lord, the plague has been recorded in the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", calling it the five plagues, which is very easy to rumor, but as long as the righteous qi is stored in it, the evil qi of the plague cannot be invaded, so that the invasion of poisonous gas can be avoided."

Yuan Dynasty physician Zhu Danxi "Danxi Heart Method? Volume one? "Plague and common diseases are, also known as the epidemic of heaven. There are three ways to govern: "It is advisable to make up, it is appropriate to disperse, and it is appropriate to descend." "By the general treatment of the plague by the method of external infection, or by the treatment of typhoid fever, or by the medicine of the evil spirit.

However, in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Mr. Wu Youke believed that there was a kind of hostility between heaven and earth, which was inhaled from the mouth and nose, inhaled by itself, and caused by infection, although the routes were different, this disease was basically the same.

If the infection is severe, the onset is immediate. If the infection is shallow, if the anger cannot defeat the righteousness, it will not be able to attack. ”

Yang Xuan smiled and asked, "Gentlemen, what do you think of this plague?" ”

To Yang Xuan's surprise, more than 20 medical officers in the hall expressed their opinions, some thought that it should be treated according to ordinary typhoid fever, and only a few agreed with Wu Youke's opinion.

Seeing that everyone was arguing, some people and others even put forward ghosts and gods, and some even said that Zhang Xianzhong didn't think that "all things and people are born in nature, and people have nothing and heaven"?

After pondering for a moment, Yang Xuan still agreed with Wu Youke's angry statement, plus wasn't he fighting bird flu in his previous life?

Thinking of this, Yang Xuan stood up and looked at everyone: "Everyone, Zhang Xianzhong's words are still quite reasonable, "all things are born with people, and people have nothing with the sky", since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the strong and greedy everywhere are insatiable, thousands of miles away, and the people work hard to support people with the things of the world, so they can't be satisfied.

There is no end to anyone's greed, otherwise, the plague epidemic is a clear proof of the disaster in the past ten years.

Many of the people here are disciples of Confucius and Mencius, and many of them are also doctors, and this ghost and god said that it is ethereal and not credible at all. If there really is any ghost heresy, then what else do you need the medical officer to do?

What else do you want us officials to do? We, the officials, are recovering justice in the world in accordance with the law, and we, the medical officers, are just hanging the pot to help the world.

If ghosts are really prevalent, then all of you medical officers have changed your careers to deceive wizards. ”

Everyone saw Yang Xuan's resolute gaze, and he looked quite calm word by word, and they laughed one after another.
