As soon as the trick of deducting rations comes out, I'm afraid no one will make themselves uncomfortable.

"Cut the cloth to make this mask? What a waste, Childe. Surut was heartbroken, "You have so much cloth, you might as well use it for clothes." ”

Zhiwen's eyes widened, and he rebuked loudly in a rare way, "What kind of clothes do you have, do you still have few clothes?" This is a matter of life and death, I can't help you to come nonsense, listen to me, if I find out what you are doing, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless. ”

Su De hurriedly and secretly pushed Surut, "Don't worry, Childe, we will do our best to cover the mask." ”

"I'll listen to Childe's arrangement." As soon as Zhiwen became angry, Surut also wilted, and he didn't dare to talk crookedly.

Within a few days, the Mongolian people of the Sunit Department, as well as the Han people who supervised them, all wore masks, this thing is simple, save a little trouble, cut it with a knife, use a little dim sum, do it yourself, and lock the edge with a needle and thread.

The Mongolian people of other tribes, as well as the Jin people, saw it, some laughed at it, and some were unmoved, but they all thought that they were like the Han people, and the cloth strips around their mouths and noses were to block the dust, and they did not think of other aspects.

The people who went out listened to the information back, as well as what Zhiwen himself saw, after he collected the statistics, he found that things did not seem to be as bad as he imagined, there were almost no coughing and red eyes among the Han people, and there were a few Mongolian gold puppets, but they were not on a large scale, and it seemed that it was really just an occasional phenomenon, not a precursor to the outbreak of the plague.

This can be regarded as a good thing, after all, in the area of the Daling River, the Ming and Jin sides have gathered about 100,000 people, once the outbreak of pneumonic plague, a fierce infectious disease, the consequences, Zhiwen feels numb when he thinks about it.

Zhiwen did not relax his vigilance because of this, everyone was still required to wear masks outside, there were so many rats, there was no plague, and there would be other infectious diseases.

However, the matter of finding people was not so smooth, and a few of them idle people, after going around the entire Dalinghe City, still found nothing, and the people they were looking for were not only nowhere to be found, but also did not hear of any sporadic news.

The only gain is to find out the camp where Huang Taiji is located, but the place is heavily guarded, so don't think about it during the day.

At night, the surrounding area is also bright with torches, and unlike in the city, there are high-walled houses to block the traces, Zhiwen tried several times, but could not successfully sneak into the main tent, so he had to wait patiently for the opportunity according to his temperament.

......

Late at night, in a camp outside the city of Dalinghe.

"Second brother, do you think the eldest brother's illness is true or false?" Dodor asked, sitting on the hide.

He is now the owner of the two flags inlaid with white and blue, and he is also one of the six beylers of the council, and only from the superficial power, he has surpassed his eldest brother and second brother.

Since Amin's defection and Zilharang's death, Huang Taiji has not added a councillor to share the Khan's power.

"I'm not sure." Dolgon took a deep breath, "The second child and Yue Tuo together, one went to Ningyuan, the other went to Jinzhou, both to harvest autumn grain, Yue Tuo didn't have a, why did he Azig get sick?" ”

"Could it be that the eldest brother is really sick?" Duoduo asked, "After all, the Great Khan sent a Chinese doctor to visit, and we also asked the Chinese doctor, according to him, the eldest brother is indeed seriously ill and bedridden." ”

"It's possible." Dorgon replied absentmindedly, clearly thinking otherwise.

Duoduo himself continued, "If he is really sick, it is reasonable for the Great Khan not to let him turn back to the Great Ling River. ”

Huang Taiji was actually more shrewd than Zhiwen imagined, and he had long been advised by some of the Han people who had surrendered to Cheng that once the Jin people were sick, they would first send a Han doctor to diagnose and treat them, and only after they had recovered could they come to visit, fearing that the people who were not sick would also be infected with the disease.

Of course, this is mainly for the rules established by the post-gold elites, and if the level is not enough, it really can't be managed.

It is said that after Azig finished harvesting the grain in Ningyuan, he fell seriously ill on the way back to the north, and without his control, the entire grain collection team was unable to move forward, and after sending people to report to Huangtaiji, he was ordered to camp on the spot to guard against the Ming army in the south, and there was no need to turn back to the Daling River.

"What if the boss wasn't sick?" Dorgon seemed to be talking to himself, and it was as if he were talking to Dord.

"Not sick?" Duoduo thought for a moment, "Could it be that the Great Khan asked him to guard against the rescue of the Ming army?" ”

Although he secretly had some disagreements with Huang Taiji, in the foreign war, Duoduo still did not think badly of Huang Taiji.

"Guarding against the Ming army?" Dolgon smiled, "Let's make it clear, why do you need to say that the boss is sick?" ”

"That's just as well." Duoduo shook his head, "Second brother, do you have an idea?" ”

"The simplest, naturally you are the master of the two flags, the strength of our three brothers has risen greatly, so far, although Huang Taiji still trusts us, but he must have a defensive heart, and he will not let the boss come back, because he is afraid that he will make meritorious deeds again, and he will not be able to suppress us when the time comes." Dolgon said.

"That's... What about a little deeper? Dodor then asked.

"Deeper? Hehe, I'm afraid it's just borrowing a knife to kill someone. ”

"Second brother, what do you mean...?" Being so little bit pulled by Dorgon, Duoduo also understood a little.

"That's right, Huang Taiji may want to borrow the hand of the Ming army to weaken the strength of the boss, don't look at the fact that he went to collect grain and bring a lot of people, but the real warriors are only thousands, if you meet a capable person from the Ming Kingdom, you may have to suffer a big loss.

"Akito?" Duoduo pursed his lips, looking disapproving.

"Don't underestimate the Mingren, there are still people among them who can fight well." Dolgon admonished, "When you were still young, the battle that wiped out all the Zhejiang soldiers, our losses were more than them, and now although the Ming Kingdom has no Zhejiang soldiers, there are also Shu soldiers and wolf soldiers in western Guangdong, all of whom are accustomed to war, and they should not be ignored, if the Ming Kingdom also sends them to the rescue, the situation there is really not good." ”

A mention of the Zhejiang soldiers and Shu soldiers, Duoduo couldn't help but tremble, although he did not personally participate in the battle, but the battle was fierce, but it is a deep memory, although they won the gold, but under the resistance of the Zhejiang soldiers and Shu soldiers, tens of thousands of casualties were killed and wounded, it was from Nurhachi to the present, the most casualties were the heaviest times, and afterwards I don't know how many families held funerals, and the cry shook the sky.

"That's... Second brother, what should we do? As a mother, although the three brothers are not closely connected to outsiders, they support each other in secret.

"At the moment, we don't know anything about the situation with the boss, and there is nothing we can do about it, so it is imperative to find a way to contact the boss." Dorgon said.

"Then let's send some men down to take a look?" Duoduo asked.

"No." Dolgon categorically vetoed, "Our brothers finally let the Great Khan have some trust in us, and sent people without authorization, once discovered, all the previous efforts will be wasted, besides, maybe someone has been secretly staring at the two of us, as soon as there is a movement, the Great Khan will know." ”

"Then you have to wait?" Dodor asked.

"It's not an option." Dorgon got up and spun back and forth a few times, "It seems that you can find someone else, and you can visit the curve." ”

With that, he leaned over to Dodor's ear and muttered in a low voice.

That night, the brothers talked in the tent until late.
