Chapter 22: The Strange Plague

Shen Yue learned from the mouth of the Ming army in this place that their team of men and horses wanted to go south to Yunnan, but they were temporarily ordered to go north to pursue this group of Yuan troops who transported treasures, and after more than a month of pursuit, they were besieged here, and the Yuan soldiers were wrapped in the deserters all the way, the number of about 1,000 people, and they had been stuck on the mountain for half a month.

Because the mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, at the beginning, the Ming army organized a persuasion to surrender, and it was just effective, but for some reason the mountain suddenly became nervous, and the military camp under the mountain also appeared a plague, so the troops did not move, and the siege has been until now.

The old general who scolded Chang Mao was named Mu Ying, this person Shen Yue had heard of in Jin Yong's "Deer and Ding Ji", which was the copper horn that Wei Xiaobao admired the most, and pacified the Mu Wangye of Yunnan, that is, the ancestor of Mu Wangfu.

To Shen Yue's surprise, Mu Ying was actually only in her thirties at this time, but her hair was gray and quite old, so she mistakenly thought she was a veteran at first.

History records that although this Mu Ying was one of the few founding generals in the early Ming Dynasty who died well, he also died young at the age of forty-eight.

Some people in later generations commented that it was because Zhu Yuanzhang slaughtered all the heroes, so that Zhu Yunwen had no generals available after he ascended the throne, so he was defeated by Zhu Di. But in fact, many generals died early due to injuries, Chang Yuchun died in the army at the age of 40 more than ten years ago, Deng Yu also died of illness at the age of 40 a few years ago, and Xu Da will also die of back sores two years later.

Shen Yue sighed deeply in his heart, as the old saying goes, once a success, ten thousand bones are dry, and these bloody generals have also suffered too much pain, and the saddest thing is the hero's gray hair, not to mention that he is already white-headed in his prime.

Later generations have summarized the Ming national motto, "do not cut the land, do not pay compensation, do not call the ministers, do not make peace, do not pay tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies in the community", this kind of iron bone is cast by the blood and tears of these countless heroes, Shen Yue has a deep awe of the Ming Dynasty, and he has crossed over, and he will definitely return them a Lang Lang Qiankun.

Now that there is a plague in the army, I often read some miscellaneous books in later generations, and I have some experience, although I can't go into battle with these generals to kill the enemy, but I can help in this, so I will follow the young generals to the camp to check.

A camp had been isolated in the barracks to house the sick people, and from outside the tents where the patients were, a roar could be heard from inside. The guards were all frightened, and a group of people whispered that the soldiers were still struggling frantically tied to the wooden planks, and shouting the names of their relatives, as if they were haunted by evil spirits, and not an ordinary epidemic.

Although they didn't pay much attention to the ghosts they said, Shen Yue also felt a little weird, the general plague mostly made people have a high fever and coma, but it was not like this that made people mad. Unless some special toadstools were ingested by mistake, causing mental hallucinations and gibberish, but these patients were all like souls returning from hell, and Shen Yue had never heard of the toadstools here having such a strong reaction, even if they were not mentioned in the domestic materials of later generations.

Shen Yue was sure that these patients were not caused by the plague, and thought of the group of people who were looking for the Holy Flame Order that Ling Fei had said, and it was very likely that they had secretly poisoned the mountain in order to delay the Ming army's attack on the mountain. To be able to control this strange poison, the origin of those people must be very secret, and you still have to be cautious.

Although he doesn't know what poison is in the soldier's body, instead of letting him wait for death, it is better to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, if he can really be cured, not only can he get Mu Ying's gratitude, but he can also defend against the secret opponent on his side.

Shen Yue asked Chang Mao to visit Mu Ying, explain his guess to him, and wanted to try to detoxify.

Mu Ying heard that a master was secretly poisoning, and immediately felt annoyed, and asked the generals to pay careful attention to the food and investigate the suspicions in the army. But he didn't trust the young man in front of him, and the marching doctor was helpless, what could he do.

"General Mu, this little brother is a capable man, if it weren't for the miraculous effect of the mines he made at the critical moment, my 3,000 soldiers and horses would have been defeated by the Yuan soldiers a long time ago. Besides, our brother is already dying, so why not let him try it? Chang Mao stepped forward and persuaded on the side.

Shen Yue saw Chang Mao's strong recommendation, but he didn't dare to let him talk too much, and hurriedly said: "I just got the guidance of a master in the next place, and I know a little about medical science, but there is no guarantee of a cure." But the soldiers could not bear to be tortured in this way, and if they continued like this, they would make the morale of the army unstable. That's why I dared to ask for my life, and I also asked General Mu for permission. ”

Mu Ying listened to what he said from the bottom of his heart, and with Chang Mao's sponsorship, those subordinates were also brothers who were born and died with him, so he agreed to Shen Yue's rescue.

Shen Yue hurriedly instructed the soldiers to find materials, most of the food poisoning pathologies are mostly divided into heavy metal, alkaline and acidic pathologies, although there is no specific antidote at the moment, but some general antidote materials can be made to deal with it.

For heavy metal poisoning, you can use egg white soy milk, alkaline poisoning can use vinegar, acidic can use soap liquid, although this soap is not ready-made, but you can use animal fat and plant ash to make soap, and now it can also be made.

After preparing these materials, Shen Yue first divided several sick soldiers into three comparison groups, and used these materials to pour a large amount of gastric lavage, supplemented with normal saline. Although Shen Yue explained to everyone that two of the groups of people might die due to the aggravation of their illness due to the drug test, the soldiers on the side did not care, they were all brothers who had died, and there was no regret about dying for their comrades.

Looking at the soldiers who looked at death as home, Shen Yue sighed in his heart, people in troubled times are like grass mustard, but it is also rare to have deep brotherhood.

After this treatment until late at night, the group that used egg white soy milk had improved and gradually calmed down.

Shen Yue was sure in his heart, it seemed that the poison contained heavy metals, fortunately, it was not acid-base poisoning, and although the other two groups did not get better, they did not cause death. Shen Yue hurriedly stopped and used egg white soy milk for all three groups.

After continuous treatment until dawn the next day, several soldiers were tortured and sleepy after vomiting and diarrhea, and began to curse the people next to them, but everyone didn't care, seeing that they were conscious and knew that the toxicity had slowly dissipated, they all stepped forward to bow down to Shen Yue and thank him.

Mu Ying also stayed up all night with everyone, and when she saw that the soldiers were saved, she was already very grateful to Shen Yue, and hurriedly apologized to him.

"The general doesn't have to be like this, it's a fluke to be able to save it. But it is not yet possible to spread the news to the enemy, lest the enemy learn about it and make another trick and it will be difficult to deal with it. ”

Hearing that Shen Yue was not arrogant, but thoughtful, Mu Ying nodded in approval, and immediately arranged for his subordinates to continue to secretly treat the remaining patients, and led Shen Yue to his tent to rest.

Although he was tired for a day and a night, Shen Yue didn't dare to sleep more, and after lying down for two or three hours, he got up and thought, now that the enemy is dark and I am clear, and he can use such a strange poison, who is the person.

Since the time travel, some history has changed, the treasure has been exposed, the mysterious Holy Fire Order has been drawn, and many mysterious forces have gathered here. Mu Ying, who should have gone south to pacify Yunnan, also turned north, history is already a fog, as if there is an invisible net pressing, affecting the whole body, from now on, his future prophetic advantage will be less and less.
