Chapter 437: Time is also lucky
PS: I'm going to take the speaking test tomorrow, so I'm going to have two big chapters
By the time we entered mid-December, the snow had stopped falling, but the weather was getting colder and colder.
In the warm living room, Zhao Wuxian was helped by the slender Bo Qi to put on a deep coat with wide sleeves, and the girl was full of arms from behind, and when the two were skin-to-skin when tying a silk belt for him, she couldn't help but gasp a little, and her face suddenly turned red.
She came to Qinyi last month, with the intention of taking care of the unshirted life, but unfortunately caught up with the outbreak of the epidemic. Zhao Wuxian planned to send her away immediately, but who knew that this little woman stubbornly said that she wanted to stay with Wuxian and her brother. Wu Xianxiang pretended to be angry and couldn't get rid of her, so he could only leave her in the living room, and he was not allowed to go out easily, and he must drink medicinal soup to prevent typhoid fever every day.
This woman is affectionate, and Zhao Wuxian can't be unrighteous, he looked at the overlapping figures of the two in the bronze jian, stroked the back of her smooth hand and said:
"This typhoid fever is different from other plagues, as the doctors say, from the time of frost to the time of the vernal equinox is the period of high incidence of typhoid fever. In September and October, the cold is still mild, and the illness is mild. November and December are already cold, and the illness is serious. You have to keep this sentence in mind, you and Ah Ao suffered a lot of cold in the early years, and they had the problem of cold in the deep winter, so you should also wear more fur clothes in the living room and warm up the charcoal fire, but don't forget to open the window and ventilate. ”
Out of the habits of later generations, although he did not reach the level of "deep love" for his own women, Zhao Wuxian still loved them very much, which moved Bo Mi and said, "The concubine can be saved." ”
Wuxian shook his head and said: "The weather has been freezing for a long time, which is both a bad thing and a good thing. But on the other hand, it also saves after the weather suddenly warms. There is an epidemic of new epidemic complications, causing winter temperatures, and these medical matters are really complicated and cannot be handled by common sense. ”
Bo Mi, who was dressed in a white dark coat and had extraordinarily dark hair, covered his mouth and smiled: "My concubine can listen to the people outside, and now the person who knows the most about medical science in this town." In addition to the doctor Bian Que, there are gentlemen. ”
In this false praise, Zhao Wuxian smiled and said nothing.
Bo Qi tightened the silk belt for Zhao Wuxian, and glanced at the jade jue worn on the bottom, this is the "jade of non-greed" of Sicheng Le's, and it is Zhao Wuxian's representative of Le's son-in-law, often tied around the waist. But the jade ring given by the gentleman and the daughter has not been seen for a long time, and I heard that the gentleman and the gentleman were the most friendly back then. In the past year and a half since leaving the Jin Kingdom, no matter how busy the monarch is, she will talk about her brother from time to time.
Seeing that Zhao Wuxian was about to go out with her shoes on, she fell to the ground like a white butterfly, and said with concern: "The concubine heard that a guest who lived in the official office of the Yi Temple also died of typhoid fever. It's scary, the gentleman is out all day. Be careful. ”
Bo Mi and her brother Xing Ao were reduced to subordinate concubines after the family lost their seal, and they almost buried the dead, so almost everything at the bottom of the society has experienced. Because of the terrain, the environment of the old Jiang of the Jin Kingdom is relatively poor, and a few years ago, there was also an epidemic from there, which killed hundreds of people in Xinjiang.
At that time, Bo Mi had already remembered, like most people. The people of that year were panicked, and the corpses covered with black spots that were carried away from time to time by the subordinate concubines left an extremely deep memory on her. So after Qinyi was hit by the epidemic again, she has been scared these days, not worried about herself. Instead, he was worried that Zhao Wuxian and Brother Xing Ao, who were away every day, would contract typhoid fever and encounter misfortune.
Zhao Wuxian didn't react for a while, tilted his head and thought for a while before saying, "You should be talking about Yang Hu...... Sadly, this person is also a genius who governs the country, a traitor who troubles the country, and actually died in an epidemic, which is really time and luck. ”
Although there are many things about Yang Hu's "death" that cannot be humanized by outsiders, Zhao Wuxian's above words are sincere. If you want to leave a name in the long river of history, talent alone is not enough, luck is also important.
In this era when science and technology are still ignorant, being able to avoid the epidemic is to a large extent a matter of luck in addition to effective prevention and control.
Dong Guoshu, the warrior of Qi State, did not have this luck, as soon as the illness came, he continued to scold Yang Hu for betraying him in prison the day before, but he hiccup the next day. The person who delivered the prison meal only saw a corpse as tall as a hill lying on the ground, and thought he was pretending.
On the contrary, Wu Guoren Zhuan Boyu is a lucky person, it is said that his father even led a comet down when he was dedicated to assassinating the king, maybe he got a little light. Or, as the people of Wu themselves think, the killing intent of the fish intestine sword is too heavy, and even the young priest is afraid, so he let go of the carp. At that time, even Zhao Wuxian thought that he would definitely die, but he was stunned to survive, and he had already begun to stay and move around in the past few days.
There is also Zhao Ying, the old man had a stroke and fell into a coma the year before last, if Le Lingzi was not by his side to take care of him, if Bian Que arrived a day late, I am afraid that it would be more auspicious. This time in Qinyi, Zhao Ying inspected the barracks as usual every day, and also went outside to run horses from time to time, but he seemed to be fine.
As for Zhao Wuxian himself......
Although he did not have the body of various preventive injections in later generations, he has always given himself psychological hints.
"I'm the most different person in this era."
He wants to return to the Jin Kingdom with the flame of revenge, and make the Jin Qing bow down; He wanted to hold Ji Huan's slender hand again and complain to her; He wanted to teach Xiaogong the extreme ingenuity of the future generations, discuss with Confucius the way to cultivate Qi and govern peace, and Bian Que to learn the heart of a doctor, and even wanted to talk to Lao Tzu about Taisheng Shui, and secretly wrote Zhuang Zhou's dream of butterflies and butterflies in a corner of a blank paper before the birth of Zhuangzi, so as to satisfy his bad taste......
He wants to let the seeds of civilization he planted in Xilu take root and sprout, take root all over the world, and finally merge with the times, so that future generations will not be able to distinguish what is chaotic in later generations and what is native.
He also wants to caress his grandson under his knees when he is old, point to a different and famous Huaxia, and tell him the legend of the Destiny of the Xuanniao......
Therefore, he will not and cannot die easily.
Compared with the real thing, what are the "traversers" Wang Mang and Liu Xiu in later generations?
"Maybe I'm the archmage who travels through time and space, the child of fate, and the luck in my hand."
So Zhao Wuxian smiled at Bo Mi and said: "Don't worry, my luck is not as bad as Yang Hu, didn't you just say it, although I don't know medical skills." But in addition to Bian Que, I am also a person who understands medical science, and I know how to avoid epidemics and protect myself and your brother. What's more, the spread of the epidemic has stopped, and even Bian Que has been idle and started to write "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", so he is at ease. Wait at home for my return. ”
……
Today, Zhao Ying was going to discuss in the Yi Temple, and when Zhao Wuxian came out, his assistant Kan Zhi was waiting for him under the chariot outside.
As the so-called wind knows the strength of the grass, and Bandang knows the loyal ministers, since the epidemic in Qinyi, Zhao Wuxian has become more and more impressed by this son of Kan Yi Zai.
Just as Bian Que identified who among his disciples was not worthy of entrusting the mantle through this typhoid epidemic, Zhao Wuxian also took this opportunity to inspect his subordinates and retainers, intentionally or unintentionally.
Among them, Kan Zhi performed the best, and the prisoner camp and barracks were naturally not under his control, but Qin Yi affairs. Zhao Wuxian was largely handed over to him. He also cherished the opportunity, not only drove the grassroots officials of Qinyi to be responsible for transporting and burying the corpses with the image of a strict official, but also led people to patrol the city day and night to prevent the people from causing chaos, and personally went to the scattered medicine shed to distribute decoction and medicine to appease people's hearts.
The first two are fine, and the last one is really something that very people can do, because once it goes deep into the grassroots. There are a few more possibilities of typhoid fever.
Therefore, it is for the sake of the people whether they go deep into the epidemic area and distribute medicine to save the people. is to elevate his own reputation, and he will not hesitate to let Zhao Wuxian appreciate it. It has been decided that Kan Zhi is a person worthy of entrusting him with a heavy responsibility, and after this battle, he can be safely promoted to the position of supervisor.
So this time Yang Hu's "death", Zhao Wuxian asked Zhao Yinghou for instructions. deliberately declined Zigong's request to personally come north to deliver medicine. Even Gong Xichi, who usually does not leave his side, was sent by him to Lei Ze and Lishan in the south to worship the thunder god Yao Shun, praying that the epidemic would pass as soon as possible......
As for Ran Qiu, after the Battle of the Snow Field, he still took the mandarin duck array with him. Sent to continue to monitor the thieves.
The thieves and their subordinates have not stripped off their clothes and gone back, and the news sent these days that the Onozawa group of thieves have all died of typhoid fever because of the disease, but the large group of thieves on Dongshan Island has no news of typhoid outbreaks.
The reason for this situation is that Ran Qiu also reported it clearly, for two reasons: after more than 10,000 people took refuge in Yuncheng, which was presided over by Zhang Mengtan, Onozawa became more and more sparsely populated, lacking the necessary conditions for the spread of the epidemic - a concentrated population. The swamps around the lake and the islands dotted around the lake are the cause of poverty and poverty, but now they have become a natural barrier to the spread of the disease.
Although Onozawa lacked medicine, in order to protect himself, when typhoid fever patients appeared among his men, they usually threw them into the swamp and sank. This move is similar to Yanghu's suggestion a few days ago, although it is ruthless, but it also effectively avoids the spread of the epidemic, so most of the strength of the thief is preserved.
Let's not mention the matter of stealing feet, in short, the retainers of the Confucian family who have faintly formed a scale under Zhao Wuxian are basically not there, so it is convenient for him to properly place the enemy of Confucius, Yang Hu, and all this is presided over by Kan Zhi, who is not very friendly with Zigong.
After pedaling, Zhao Wuxian asked him: "Is Yang Hu's funeral done?" ”
"The body has been buried under the pretext of preventing the spread of typhoid fever."
"What is the reaction of the people in Qinyi?"
Kan Zhi said respectfully: "The death of Yang Hu made Confucius's disciples Qin Shang and Qin Fei applaud, but they also complained that not beheading this person in Luchengdong City was not enough to atone for his sins. Yang Hu's reputation was not good in Qinyi either, and after the news spread, the people of Lu who hated him were equally rejoicing. “
Zhao Wuxian bowed his head and accepted Yang Hu, which was a great risk. In order to make the Zhao family have one more capable minister, the biggest obstacle is not only his grievances with Wuxi, but also the opinions of the people of Lu. Not to mention Confucius, Lu Hou and Sanhuan could never accept this kind of disposal, so Wuxian played the trick of stealing beams and changing pillars, which can be regarded as solving the matter once and for all.
Yang Hu is also a genius who pulls hatred, in addition to Qi and Lu will completely regard Yang Hu as a mortal enemy in the future, Song, Wei, and Zheng are also very disgusted with him, and they can't kill him quickly. In this way, Yang Hu really has nowhere to go except for the protection of the Zhao family.
"If he knows the current affairs, it would be good to serve the Zhao family well with his new identity, if not, I beg my father to kill a minister, such as slaughtering a dog's ear!"
……
What Zhao Ying wanted to discuss with Wu Xian and the other military officials today was the issue of Zhao Bing's actions after the beginning of spring, and before that, he first announced a few pieces of information that he had just received.
Contrary to Qinyi's increasing stability, the bad news from the outside came one after another.
The epidemic in the Pingyin area of Qi is getting more and more serious day by day, and rough statistics are made. At present, hundreds of people have died of illness and nearly 1,000 have been infected, of which half of them are Qi soldiers who went south with the Marquis of Qi. Because the epidemic is too serious, everyone in Qi is in danger, officials at all levels have no intention of doing business, and many people take leave and return home. Gao Zhang had earlier ordered the provinces to strictly guard the borders, and the order to prohibit the movement of people gradually became useless.
Qi people near Pingyin fled to other areas one after another to avoid the epidemic, and many of them have been infected with typhoid fever, which has aggravated the epidemic situation in Qi country, which has become like a surging flood.
What's more, some Qi people even went south to try to escape to Xilulai, where the epidemic prevention was extremely strict, and they heard that they could be properly treated and resettled. However, Qinyi and Yiyi had already received orders from Zhao Wuxian. Population movement is never allowed, so we keep the gates and don't let anyone in. This is a change from the past, and the number of people in the city has increased, but it is a great political achievement.
So the Qi people had no choice but to bypass these two places, move to the east and west, and go west to defend the country. To the east, I went to Suku Castle, where the swamp froze in the cold winter, and I could reach it smoothly. On the one hand, this era is a small state and a widow. Chickens and dogs smell each other and never see each other; On the other hand, there was also a cross-border movement of people, so when it came to the Warring States period, King Wei Hui was still depressed that "the people of the few people do not increase, and the people of neighboring countries do not see less".
Except for the Xilu provinces presided over by Zhao Wuxian, how can the rest of the states have this kind of consciousness and organization? The displaced people of the Qi State easily entered the Weiguo and Suju, and it is said that they have developed symptoms one after another. It caused panic, but it was too late, Qi Guo, and the typhoid fever in these two places wanted to get better, and they had to wait until after the spring equinox.
"The above is about the epidemic. In addition, there are military and political ones. Zhao Ying pondered for a moment before continuing with a gloomy face: "It's bad news, Xian Yu took advantage of the Qi and Jin wars, was bewitched by the Qi people, and the whole country rebelled against Jin!" ”
"What!" As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall showed surprise.
……
The Xianyu mentioned by Zhao Ying, that is, the Zhongshan Kingdom of later generations, although it is called a descendant of the surname Ji, I don't know if it is true or not, or the branch that Ji Zhou was still divided between Rong and Di back then, which is similar to the situation of Li Rong and Hu Rong.
However, after entering the Spring and Autumn Period, Xianyu belonged to a branch of Bai Di (whose clothes were still white, not white in skin) who went east to the central part of Hebei, both culturally and linguistically, which is undoubted.
During the Battle of Yanling, Fan Wenzi once described the four strong enemies faced by the ancestors of the Jin State: "Qin, Di, Qi, and Chu are all strong, and if they don't do their best, their descendants will be weak." Today, the three strong are subdued, and the enemy is only Chu. ”
Bai Di was once a headache for the Jin Kingdom, and the two sides fought and in-laws, but these poorly organized migratory tribes eventually fell apart. Among them, the most powerful part is to advance eastward to both sides of the Taihang Mountain, as well as the Xianyu State in central Hebei, and they also established two countries of Gu and Fei to compete with the princes of the Central Plains.
Unfortunately, they did not encounter Xing and Wei, who were weak a hundred years ago, but the Jin Kingdom, which began to expand to the periphery after the Battle of the Soldiers. In the end, even Xianyu had to submit to the Jin Dynasty and accompanied the Jin Dynasty with the name of the barbarian Rongdi of "Xianyuzi".
But now, when the Jin State is about to weaken, these Di people, who have long been dissatisfied with the drive of the Jin State, have really rebelled again.
Zhao Ying said hatefully: "Originally, the Qi army was defeated in Xilu and returned to the country, if the Bank of China, Fan, Handan and others had some knowledge, they should cross the Yellow River and storm Yiyi, and the Chen clan would definitely not be able to support it, and it would be like taking this place back like a bag." But Xianyu sent more than 10,000 troops in the winter when his generation was good at fighting, attacking the drum and fat two towns, and the Zhongxing clan took care of one and the other, and Yiyi could not be taken back at all. ”
"And the Handan clan's domain was also harassed, the Fan clan saw that these two families were defended by the territory, and they simply returned to the court, and my Zhao clan faced the Qi army head-on, creating a great opportunity for his generation, so it was missed like this, it is really hateful! After returning to China, I will definitely go to the king to sue his generation for the crime of conniving with the enemy and losing the land, and settle the old accounts and the new accounts together! ”
Zhao Wuxian looked down on the map printed on his head, Xian Yu, this Di people who had been regarded as a subordinate of the Jin people had a population of only two or three hundred thousand, and most of the land occupied by the mountains of Changshan in later generations was rugged and difficult to cultivate. But even in the later Zhongshan Kingdom, these Bai Di were still extremely strong in combat, and dared to rank with the Seven Heroes as kings, and now they made a slight move, which can be said to be just right, and they pressed back the current situation that had been tilted towards the Jin Kingdom in the Qi and Jin Dynasty for hegemony.
In this way, if the Qi people are relieved and Yiyi is recaptured, it is relatively unlikely that the Jin State will regain hegemony in this war.
In addition, coincidentally, Zhao Wuxian's biological mother in this life was precisely the Di Wan captured by Zhao Ying when he accompanied Mu Zifa Xianyu with the Chinese Bank of China, but Zhao Yingxian rarely mentioned this matter, so Zhao Wuxian didn't know much about her.
At this moment, Zhao Ying spoke again: "Summoning the second and third sons to come to discuss today, is to wait for you to say, now the Bank of China, Fan, and Handan will not send troops, and when the epidemic is extinct, will my Zhao continue to stay in Xilu to fight with Qi and Wei, or will I retire and return to the country?" ”
Zhao Wuxian retracted his thoughts, although those things were a knot in his heart, they were not important, and after returning to the Jin Kingdom in the future, he would ask Ji Huan, and there would be a chance to know.
Now that he saw Zhao Ying speak, he took it out and said his long-planned plan! (To be continued......)
