Chapter 343: Sleepless Night in a Thunderstorm (5)
Yun Xian was frightened by the word "tuberculosis" that Yang Zhen mentioned just now. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Tuberculosis, also known as tuberculosis, was later referred to as tuberculosis. Even after the middle of the twentieth century, this kind of lesion that occurs after respiratory infection is a terminal disease with a very high mortality rate, let alone the current Ming Dynasty. What's even more terrifying is that tuberculosis is also very easy to spread through the air and droplets, and once the people around you are not strong in resistance, it is easy to be infected with tuberculosis in the process of contact.
Although Yun Xian was just a child, he also knew how terrible this disease was, and when he heard these two words from Yang Zhen's mouth, it naturally had a great impact on him. After a while, he muttered, "You...... Is that true? You didn't lie to me, did you? ”
"What am I lying to you for? Just looking at her symptoms, it should be eight or nine or ten. If you don't believe it, you will naturally understand when you find Lang Zhong to treat her. Yang Zhen frowned: "This woman is the key to me finding out the truth about the mutiny, and she must not die like this!" ”
"Auntie......" Seeing that Yang Zhen said so firmly, Yun Xian was completely panicked, kneeling down and looking at the woman, full of despair. He does have reason to despair, the fatality rate of tuberculosis is too high, even if a doctor has seen it, it may not be able to say that it can be cured with medicine, it depends on the patient's own creation, not to mention that with their current status and situation, they can't hire a doctor at all.
Before, both he and his aunt thought that it was just ordinary typhoid fever, and felt that as long as they lasted for a while, they could get better. But in fact, after so long without getting better, they have already realized it, and I am afraid that this disease is not so optimistic. But now, the most feared thing in the bottom of my heart is still an extremely heavy blow to this thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.
Yang Zhen exhaled, and it seemed that the other party also believed his inference, so he said solemnly again: "Yun Xian, if you want to save the lives of your aunt and sister, you have to trust me, and I will find a place to live and a doctor for you." ”
"You mean really?" Yun Xian forcibly held back the tears rolling in his eyes, and looked at Yang Zhen suspiciously: "Why are you helping us so much?" ”
"I'm helping you to help myself, because I need to find out the truth about the mutiny through you." Yang Zhen didn't hide his purpose: "And even if you have doubts, you can only trust me at this time, right?" ”
Indeed, after learning that his aunt and sister were suffering from tuberculosis, Yun Xian not only made a big mess, but also lost any way out, only to believe Yang Zhen's words. After struggling inwardly, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, I believe in you!" ”
Yang Zhen saw that he finally relented, and also showed a smile, this kid's vigilance is really not ordinary. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's still midnight, and it's curfew outside, so it's impossible for us to take her to Lang Zhong." So I have no choice but to wait for another half of the night, and then find a place to live for you after dawn and find Langzhong for treatment. ”
Yun Xian also knew the situation in Datong City, nodded silently when he heard this, and approved Yang Zhen's arrangement.
Yang Zhen then turned his gaze to Hu Ge: "Hu Ge, everything here will be taken care of by you, I have to go back to Huayan Temple first." After dawn, you and them go as a family to find a place to stay nearby and ask a doctor for them. So saying, he took out a few ingots of silver from his sleeve and threw them to Hu Ge as the cost of his search for a house and a doctor.
"Aren't you here?" Hugo asked with a worried glance at the woman who had passed out. To be honest, he's really a little scared now, tuberculosis is a very contagious disease.
Yang Zhen saw the worry of his subordinates, so he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and whispered: "As long as the bones of the body are strong enough and the physical resistance is strong, tuberculosis will not be able to invade our body." Look at Yun Xian, haven't you been staying with his aunt and sister these days, hasn't he been infected. As for me, if the adults find out that I am not there, they will be worried, and I must rush back before dawn. ”
"Yes! The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will do everything well, and then report to the adults. Seeing that thousands of households had said this, Hu Ge naturally didn't dare to object, so he hurriedly agreed.
Yang Zhen glanced back at Yun Xian at this time: "You just have to relax, Hu Ge will arrange everything for you after dawn, and your aunt's illness can still be cured." ”
Yun Xian nodded silently, in fact, he still had doubts about Yang Zhen in his heart, but now nothing can compare to the bodies of his aunt and sister, so he can only believe what he said for the time being.
After arranging everything, Yang Zhen left the dilapidated City God Temple, and went straight to Huayan Temple under the heavy rain that still did not decrease, it seems that tonight will be a sleepless night.
In fact, Yang Zhen and a few of them were sleepless tonight, in the governor's yamen in the south of Datong City, Liu Yingji was also sitting on a chair in the study neatly dressed, and Guo Rong with the same solemn expression was sitting on one side. The latter's clothes were mostly wet at this time, but he still didn't feel it.
Just half an hour ago, Guo Rong hurried over on horseback and sent a piece of news to the governor that shocked him - the rebel Hongtong Department, who had been cornered by them before, and saw that they could complete the encirclement and suppression, was actually rescued by another rebel Nie Feibu!
The significance of this incident is far greater than running all the way to the chaotic army, and the occurrence of this incident shows that the chaotic armies that used to fight separately have begun to unite. As a result, it will be much more difficult to quell the rebellion with various defeating strategies.
"How so? How could these two groups of them collude, and Nie Feibu could still kill in time and rescue Hongtong and them? After being silent for a long time, Liu Yingji finally asked the doubts in his heart.
But Guo Rong couldn't give an answer, he himself felt very troubled, and could only guess: "Maybe it's just a coincidence?" ”
"Coincidentally? Could there be such a coincidence in this world? You are also a soldier who knows the soldiers, can you believe that there will be such a coincidence on the battlefield? Liu Yingji asked with a gloomy face.
Guo Rong immediately lowered his head, not daring to answer so perfunctorily. Liu Yingji exhaled and continued: "Nie Fei has been out of our sight since the mutiny. I used to think he was just hiding, but now it seems that things are not so simple. After rescuing the Hongtong Ministry, his power will inevitably increase, and we must do our best to find them out and annihilate them! Otherwise, if we let him find a few other rebels and thus make them the climate, it will be difficult for us to quell the anger of the court by quelling the chaos. ”
"Yes, the last general understands. In fact, before coming here, the last general had already sent an order to them to step up their search, and as long as they found any trace of the rebels, they would be exterminated immediately! ”
"Hmm." Seeing that he had such an arrangement, Liu Yingji's face looked a little better: "As far as you know, how many rebels are still outside?" ”
"A total of 12 mutinies took place in the previous guards. After this period of pacification and extermination, there are still four people wandering outside. And these four roads are all more than 3,000 troops......" After telling what he knew, Guo Rong peeked at Governor Liu again with some uneasiness.
"Are there still more than 10,000 rebels who have not been pacified? If we do bring them together, it will be too much of a threat to us. Liu Yingji didn't blame his subordinates this time, although there were many Datong troops, but they had to prevent the Mongols from taking the opportunity to invade, the key passes and the Datong defenders could not move, and the garrisons of those guards and fortresses were close to each other, in fact, Guo Rong's real use of people and horses was very limited, and it was not easy to pacify the Eighth Route rebels in a short period of time to give an explanation to the imperial court.
"This is not the same as in the past, and since the rebels are in danger of joining forces, we cannot delay any longer. It is impossible to say that the garrison forces in some places can only be temporarily transferred to pacify the rebels first. After thinking about it, Liu Yingji gave his opinion.
"The last will understand." Guo Rong also knew that the situation was serious and he had to make a trade-off. But then, he remembered a little more, and asked for advice: "My lord, do you say that the defenders of Datong need to be mobilized?" ”
"No!" Liu Yingji's veto was categorical: "The people in the city can't move!" This matter must not be known to the Qin Cha, otherwise everything we have worked hard will probably be in vain. Now is a critical moment, the pressure on him has reached its peak, and if we expose the problem, it is likely to make Zhong Yu change his mind. ”
"But in this case, I will draw a large number of troops from the fortress of the forward guard, and there will be a big flaw in the defense line, will the Tartars ......" Guo Rong, as the chief soldier of Datong, has the responsibility to defend the territory after all, so he has some concerns.
"The Tartars are not the same as before, and the most they can do when they come is to loot something. I'll make arrangements for them not to cause trouble, and of course, we'll pay some price. After Liu Yingji frowned, he said his countermeasures.
Regarding the plan he proposed, Guo Rong didn't see the slightest surprise, but said a little relaxed: "Since the adults have this arrangement, then the general will rest assured." ”
Liu Yingji rubbed his eyebrows, and said: "This matter must be kept absolutely secret from Qin Cha, and you don't want to cause any trouble because of this." Go ahead. ”
"Yes! The end will be retired! Guo Rong said, got up and left, and soon disappeared into the dark rain curtain.
Liu Yingji sat in his seat for a while before he slowly stood up, with a resolute look in his eyes: "There is such a variable this time, although we try our best to cover it up, we are afraid that Zhong Yu will always get a letter." I can't say that we can only add some pressure to him, otherwise once he changes his mind again, it will be too bad for us! Thinking of this, he beckoned to one of his henchmen who was waiting outside, and whispered softly in his ear......
