Chapter 32: Post-War

Li Xinlan disassembled the cephalosporin and took out the two plates of capsules inside, but she was blind again, not knowing what to do next.

However, Dr. Chen, who had been standing on the side, saw a little famous, this kind of colorful thing looked similar to pills, and it was probably used to eat. So he snatched it up, broke off four or five pills and handed them to Zhang Guanghua's mouth, only to see that he really opened his mouth and took it in, but immediately spit out three more.

Zhang Guanghua was holding two cefterminoids at this time, and there seemed to be thousands of grass and mud horses galloping in his heart: "Feed me a handful at a time, you want to eat me to death." ”

After Dr. Chen fed him a mouthful of water, Zhang Guanghua swallowed it in one gulp, but only one pill went down to his stomach and the other stuck to his esophagus. Forget it, leave it alone, let it melt slowly. He tilted his head and continued to sleep, and it didn't take long for a slight snoring sound, and the "strenuous exercise" just now almost killed him, and the whole person was exhausted and collapsed.

Hearing that the military advisor woke up, the whole Anxi was boiling, and all the prominent figures in the chamber of commerce, the military camp and the government rushed over to visit him one by one, and when they saw the military advisor who was sleeping soundly with snoring, everyone was also relieved.

When Zhang Guanghua woke up again, it was the morning of the next day, and after opening his eyes this time, he found that he had been able to turn over slowly, and he had a little strength to raise his hand and raise his head, but he couldn't sit up yet, and his whole body hurt badly.

"It seems that the resistance of the bacteria in the Yuan Dynasty is too poor, and two penicillin pills will be discarded." Zhang Guanghua thought to himself.

He turned his head slightly, and saw Li Xinlan, who was leaning on the edge of the bed and sleeping sweetly, and his heart was full of emotion. In the past few days, he has been able to feel that there is a person around him who is taking care of him meticulously, and he didn't see who it was yesterday, but today he finally confirmed that it was Li Xinlan, a little girl.

In fact, in the past half a year with her, he has slowly liked her, like her beauty, her kindness, her liveliness, her cuteness, and, his "Lori". He reached out and slowly stroked her cheek.

"Ahh Brother Zhang, you're awake! As soon as Li Xinlan looked up, she saw Zhang Guanghua who was stroking her, and immediately blushed to the base of her neck.

"Goo, goo......" And before Zhang Guanghua could speak, his stomach screamed uncontrollably, and then he realized that he was already very hungry.

"Wait a minute, I'll get you something to eat." Sensing Zhang Guanghua's strange appearance, Li Xinlan smiled, threw two cute pigtails behind her and ran out.

After drinking a little gruel and then taking two pills, Zhang Guanghua felt much better. He looked up at the window, the spring rain had stopped in the past few days when he had been unconscious, the trees in the yard were desperately spitting out buds in the warm spring breeze against the sun, and a few unknown birds were chirping in the trees.

The whole month of April was spent in Zhang Guanghua enjoying Li Xinlan's meticulous care. In fact, it only took half a month for him to be able to go to the ground and walk around with Li Xinlan's support. Although he once said that he had been able to take care of himself, Li Xinlan still declined his kindness to let her go home to rest and accompanied him through the whole spring.

……

The decisive battle half a month ago, officially because the Yuan army suddenly rushed into the middle of the cavalry, and riots began to break out in the rear, so that Anxi County turned defeat into victory. And this strange army is Xu Shouhui's subordinate Chen Youliang's troops.

Xu Shouhui rebelled in Macheng, Hubei in August 1351, and founded the country as "Tianwan" in Xishui County, Hubei in September. Last spring, after a major defeat, he made a comeback, capturing Jiangxi and Hunan, and taking control of the Sichuan Basin and parts of Shaanxi, with hundreds of thousands of troops.

It stands to reason that Xu Shouhui, who has such a large army, will not send troops south for the sake of a mere road. However, the hundreds of arquebuses brought by the "intelligence director" Kang Shou made Xu Shouhui change his mind, so this was the victory behind Anxi.

During the period when Zhang Guanghua was recuperating from his illness, Li Da cooperated with Chen Youliang's troops who rushed from Lianghu to support and captured the Yuan army's city, and the Yuan army could only retreat to Fuzhou, so the rebel army took the opportunity to capture Tingzhou, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and Xinghua in southern Fujian. According to the plan discussed with Zhang Guanghua before, Li Da gave Chen Youliang the Tingzhou Road bordering Jiangxi Province in the north, and gave him more than 1,000 arquebuses, in addition to signing a long-term trade agreement with him.

Because of the lack of troops, Li Da did not enter Quanzhou and Xinghua Lufu, but only carried out the materials of the Yuan army in the two cities, and even the people in the city were not disturbed in the slightest, so the two cities gradually became a buffer between the two sides. As for the Zhangzhou Road bordering Anxi, he was not so polite, he first sent Lu Guangfu to directly lead the army to take over the whole situation, and then asked Zhao Shan to rush over to re-elect the officials of the road government, and Shen Li also sent people to Zhangzhou to create a branch of the "Zhenhua Chamber of Commerce".

On the first day of the fifth month of 1355, with Zhang Guanghua's complete recovery, the celebration banquet, which had been postponed for half a month, was finally held in Anxi County.

In the morning, the spring breeze is warm and the sun is shining. The square in front of the county government is full of colorful flags, flowers, and round tables have been set up, just waiting for the guests to come to the table. The soldiers on duty outside the square had already begun to accept the invitations, and all the dignitaries, businessmen, and army generals in the four counties of Anxi, Xianyou, Dehua, and Yongchun were all invited to enter the venue, each looking for their own seats.

Those who did not have the opportunity to participate in the celebration set up flowing water mats in their villages or streets, and changed cups to celebrate the arrival of victory.

"Everyone's interest is high!" Seeing bursts of laughter erupting in the crowd behind, Zhang Guanghua said to Li Da who was sitting next to him.

"That's natural, they heard they could come to the celebration, but they fought for a spot. Now they've finally gotten their wish to see you, a legendary figure, and they can show off to others for days when they get back. The wine and food have not been served yet, Li Da replied while eating the cold dishes on the table.

There were a total of twelve people at the table where Zhang Guanghua sit, and in addition to him, there were Li Da, Lu Guangfu, Lu Guangxin, the two Huang brothers, the village chief, Zhao Shan, Huang Kaizheng, Shen Li, and two other senior generals of the army.

As soon as the auspicious time arrived, the 21 "red-coated cannons" that served as salutes on the city wall were lit at the same time, and the huge cannon sound resounded throughout the city, and gold music began to be played in the square. In a festive atmosphere, Zhao Shan, the "democratically elected" person in charge of Zhongshu Province, stepped onto a temporary high platform and kicked off the celebration with his speech.

"Whether it's a scholar, a farmer, a craftsman or a businessman, let's ...... it," Zhao Shan quoted scriptures and gushed endlessly.

Just when Zhang Guanghua was drowsy, a wave of applause woke him up, and it turned out that Zhao Shan's speech had ended. Just when he was about to cheer up and start eating, he found that Li Da next to him stood up, and when Li Da walked up to the high platform and took the iron horn in Zhao Shan's hand, two words popped up in his heart: "Your sister!" ”

"From Zhongxing Village to Anxi County to Zhangzhou Road, let's ...... it" Li Da, as the premier of the parliament and a representative of the army, turned out to be very eloquent.

Just when Zhang Guanghua was pinching the time, ready to compare Zhao Shan and Li Da who was the most "lasting", Li Da took the last sentence on the stage but startled him: "Next, I will invite the military advisor to tell you a few words." ”

"Your sister! You're messing around with me without first notice! Zhang Guanghua complained weakly in his heart. Looking at the other people at the table with sinister smiles on their faces, he felt a smell of intrigue coming towards him.

There was no way, so he had to quickly organize the language in his heart and go on stage.

Before he could speak, suddenly there was a commotion in the audience, and the shouts and applause lasted for a long time. He raised his hands and pressed them down for a long time before the applause subsided. What he didn't know was that during the period of his serious illness, the "Anxi Daily" continued to report on his movements and his various heroic deeds since the uprising, which almost deified him.

And the patent office he established based on "Belle Labs" has made countless Anxi people become the chief treasurer, serve as the chairman, win the rich girl, and embark on the pinnacle of life, and by the way, even the government's taxes have risen.

"This, I don't have anything to say about this, everyone eats and drinks and has fun! That's it......" Zhang Guanghua picked up the speaker, said a few words, and prepared to hurry down to eat.

"No! No way! No...... "I didn't expect the people at the bottom to buy it now, they still wanted to end the meal early, but as soon as Zhang Guanghua came up, they were all crazy, and he had to say more."

"Strategist, just talk about your feelings!" Li Da also joined forces with others and began to coax.

There was no way, Zhang Guanghua, who had already begun to turn around, had to go back again, cleared his throat and continued: "I know, in fact, everyone's life was very hard before, the weather was dry one after another, and the grain production was seriously reduced, but Dayuan's oppression of us has intensified. If that's all we can do, we'll be able to endure it, but this damn Great Yuan has made us the lowest fourth-class people, and even those lustful people can ride on our heads to show off their might. And those Mongols are even more deceitful, stealing our property, robbing our wives, and bullying our children. How many of our homes have been ruined, and how many have died in the wilderness! ”

"But fortunately, God is still open-eyed, and we Han people are now standing up! You see, just to the north of us, the entire Central Plains has been re-mastered by our Han people, and our good days are coming. ”

"Of course, this is not enough, at least not in Anxi. I want every Anxi person to have enough to eat, wear new clothes, and live in a new house! I'm going to make it all of you turn over and be in charge! ”
