The day is warm, the car and the pedestrians are faint, and the wheat wind is shallow and shallow on the fence.

Half of the river and wild water streams, ten miles of pear blossoms into a village.

Ruochen looked at the scenery outside the car window and couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Ling'er was in the carriage, and when she saw that the young lady seemed to be thoughtful, she didn't dare to disturb.

It has been several days since the convoy of the Guogong Mansion came out of Qingxi Xiaozhu, and the journey along the way is not fast, and it only travels twenty miles a day. So I walked east for a few days, and I just passed Fushan County.

After Fushan County, the next stop on the eastward journey is Ninghai Prefecture.

Ruochen's eldest brother, Zhang Shize, the prince of the United Kingdom, was waiting for her in Ninghai Prefecture.

A plague broke out in Penglai County, and Ruochen received a letter from her eldest brother Zhang Shize on her back foot, asking her to go to Ninghai Prefecture.

As for why the eldest brother was waiting for him in Ninghai Prefecture, the letter did not mention it......

I thought I had secretly escaped from the Guogong Mansion, but I didn't expect that my every move was still under the surveillance of my eldest brother!

Ruochen shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly.

This time, the plague in Penglai County is fierce, and even the people from the Jishi Medical Society have rushed here, and I don't know what happened to the tension, does he have a way to deal with the plague?

Seeing that he was no more than two years older than himself, where had he seen the plague? I'm afraid it's helpless, right? However, with the people of the Jishi Medical Society, presumably the plague will soon be controlled, right?

Ruochen's thoughts were still running, and suddenly a cold wind blew from the window, and he couldn't help but shiver.

"Miss, the wind is blowing." Ling'er's voice came, Ruochen nodded slightly, and closed the curtains.

……

Zhang Tao, the chief soldier of Denglai, personally led 1,000 firearms battalions and 2,000 auxiliary soldiers, day and night, and finally rushed to the Loess Mountain in the west of Penglai County.

The epidemic prevention camp here has long been emptied, but fortunately, the displaced people just scattered and fled, and there was no fire to burn the camp to the ground.

Zhang Tao was dressed in white mountain armor, wearing a copper helmet, and a long thimble like a lightning rod on the top of the helmet was conspicuous. He did not have goggles on his chest, but was carved with a lion pattern.

In the Ming system, the first and second grades of the military generals are lions, and the lion carved on the chest of this mountain character armor faintly reveals the identity of Zhang Taozheng's second rank Denglai general soldier.

Zhang Tao wears a wire mesh skirt and iron mesh pants below the waist, and iron mesh boots on his feet.

This outfit looks like the armor of the Manchu Tartar generals in the braided play.

Later generations often praised the exquisite armor of the Tartar generals in the braid play, but they did not know that the Tartars were originally barbarians, and the armor styles of their senior generals were almost all copied from the captured Ming army armor and made according to their styles.

Zhang Tao is in his forties, although he is at the age of being strong, this heavy armor is really not light.

After coming to the epidemic prevention camp, Zhang Tao ordered the 2,000 auxiliary soldiers to quickly repair the camp and use it as a camp. Soon the camp was sorted out, and the army was already with a marching tent, and the soldiers traveled a long way, and at this moment they all entered the tent to rest, leaving only a few guards to guard.

The big tent of the Chinese army was quickly set up, and at this moment, Zhang Tao led his men to attack and Qian Zong was discussing in the tent.

Wu Deming, the guerrilla general of the firearms battalion, was Zhang Tao's confidant, otherwise Zhang Tao would not have let him take charge of the most important firearms battalion among the infantry, cavalry, chariot, chariot, and fire battalions in Denglai Town.

Zhang Tao was looking at the map on the table, and Wu Deming spoke: "Lord Zongrong, according to the reports that were not received at night, the displaced people were scattered in the villages around Penglai and did not gather in one place. ”

The other name of the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty was "General Rong", and "Rong" had the meaning of military affairs, which was obviously much more elegant than the word "Bing".

Zhang Tao raised his head, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "This time, Ye Yiqing of the Jishi Medical Society personally sent an order to me, as long as all the epidemic people are concentrated outside Penglai County and order is strictly maintained, there is no need to kill too much. ”

"Lord Yiqing is really a bodhisattva!"

"Although Ci is not in charge of soldiers, and righteousness is not in charge of wealth, but Lord Zongrong is facing all the Ming children, and it is really amazing to have such a mind!"

……

Wu Deming and the generals in the tent praised Ye Yiqing for his compassion and compassion, and also praised Zhang Tao by the way.

Zhang Tao didn't want to get involved in this troubled water at all, but the soldiers under Li Guerrilla sent earlier fell ill and collapsed, and the medical secretary personally ordered that he had to come.

Zhang Tao pondered for a moment and said, "The generals will listen to the order!" The battalion was divided into 20 squads, each with 50 firearms and 50 auxiliaries. After the rest is completed, leave 1,000 auxiliary soldiers to build a camp at the west gate of Penglai County, and the rest of the soldiers will attack with the whole army! Each team of soldiers will take their own route by the generals, or township or village or town, and bring all the displaced people to the new camp outside the west gate of Penglai County! How to advance the route, Wu guerrilla will give you instructions later! ”

The generals in the battalion promised in unison: "Yes-!" ”

Zhang Tao immediately said sharply: "Don't let the soldiers contact the homeless people, just choose a soldier with a loud voice in each team to shout." Those who do not listen to orders will be beaten to death! ”

The generals said heavily: "Yes! Then they went out of the accounts one after another, and each arranged to rectify the soldiers.

Wu Deming did not leave immediately, and after the generals dispersed, he took out a bamboo pipe from his arms and handed it to Zhang Tao: "Lord Zongrong, this is the flying pigeon biography I just received from Jingshi......

Zhang Tao looked stunned, hurriedly took the bamboo pipe, removed the sealing mud, took out the letter paper in it, and looked at it carefully.

Wu Deming looked at his nose and nose, and stood beside Zhang Tao with his hands down, his eyes did not look at the letter paper at all.

After a long time, Zhang Tao sighed and said dejectedly: "This Penglai County is really a place of right and wrong......"

When Zhang Zhang took Kang Xingan and Gao Yuanliang to the Lijiatoukou store, he saw that the door was locked.

After Zhang Zhang knocked on the door and asked the miscellaneous servants, he learned that the shopkeeper Li was called to the county government by Wang Xiancheng, saying that the Jishi Medical Society ordered Penglai County to requisition all the cars and horses of the city's Toukou stores, and now the shopkeeper Li is in the county office.

In desperation, Zhang Zhang had no choice but to leave a message, asking the handyman to bring a letter to Shopkeeper Li, and asked Shopkeeper Li to return to the store and then take a trip to Lantern Street.

The handyman knew Zhang Li, and after agreeing, Zhang Zhang took Kang Gao and the others back home......

It wasn't until the second watch that there was a hurried knock on the door from shopkeeper Li outside the courtyard.

Zhang Li, Kang Xing'an, and Gao Yuanliang all had no intention of sleeping, and were sitting around the room chatting with each other.

As soon as he heard a knock on the door, Kang Xingan immediately went out to open the door.

Soon Kang Xingan walked into the room with Shopkeeper Li, Shopkeeper Li shook the tension and said, "Let the little doctor wait for a long time!" ”

Zhang Zhang nodded and said, "Shopkeeper Li is serious. ”

Kang Xing'an showed the shopkeeper Li, and the shopkeeper Li thanked Anzi and asked Zhang Li: "I don't know what is the important matter for the little doctor to find me?" ”

Zhang Zhang smiled slightly and said, "Don't hide it from Shopkeeper Li, I did encounter a difficult thing in the next place." ”

Shopkeeper Li stood up from his chair with a respectful look on his face: "The little divine doctor once saved my son of three generations, no matter what is difficult, as long as he can help in the future, the little divine doctor is okay." ”

Zhang Li pretended to be mysterious and said: "Originally, I wanted to make a windfall, but I was under the noses of everyone in Jishi Medical Society, but now it seems a little inconvenient!" ”

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Li was confused, and looked at Zhang Li with a puzzled face.

Zhang Zhang pondered for a moment, sighed, and said, "Jishi Medical Society is about to announce the recommended prescription for this plague, but I guessed one of the medicinal materials in advance!" ”

Zhang Liduo kept an eye on it, and the prescription in his heart naturally would not be taken lightly, so he thought of such a set of rhetoric temporarily.

Hiss-Shopkeeper Li gasped and exclaimed, "Little ...... The little miracle doctor is so godly? I don't know which herb the little doctor guessed among the prescriptions recommended by Jishi Medical Society? ”

Zhang Zhang said lightly: "Plaster! ”

Shopkeeper Li was shocked: "Plaster? ”

Zhang Zhang nodded and said, "I bought a lot of gypsum in advance, and I originally planned to make a small profit." But ......"

Shopkeeper Li is also a sensitive person, and he reacted at once: "The little divine doctor never thought that Jishi Medical Society would announce the prescription so soon, and now there is a shortage of gypsum in the major pharmacies in Penglai County?" ”

Zhang Zhang sighed: "Exactly! But I just participated in the discussion meeting of the Jishi Medical Society, and this leaked the news and filled my own pockets—"

Shopkeeper Li completely understood: the little god doctor originally wanted to make a windfall, but unfortunately the prescription was announced too quickly, and the major pharmacies did not have time to replenish the stock, which was easy to burn.

Shopkeeper Li opened his mouth and asked, "What does the little divine doctor need to do?" ”

Zhang Li said: "You have not participated in the discussion of Jishi Medical Society, so naturally you will not know the prescription in advance, so I want to discount the original price of my gypsum here to you." I remember that your father-in-law had a pharmacy in the city, and once the prescription was announced, you could make a fortune! ”

Shopkeeper Li was overjoyed and said: "This is the best! The little doctor can rest assured, when the plaster is sold, you and I will split the account! How dare you let the little doctor suffer? ”

Zhang Zhang smiled slightly and said, "Then it's decided." It's just that this gypsum needs to be transported in the middle of the night, and there are many people during the day. Now you go back and prepare, and in an hour you will come to my house to pick up the goods. ”

Shopkeeper Li said yes and left in a hurry.

Before an hour came, Shopkeeper Li drove a small donkey cart to the Zhang Li Mansion.

Zhang Zhang left a part of it for backup, and the rest of the extra plaster was pulled away by Shopkeeper Li.

This matter can be regarded as over, and Zhang Li, Kang Xingan, and Gao Yuanliang can finally sleep soundly......

When Zhang Zhang was still asleep, suddenly there was a noisy sound in his ears.

Zhang Lili woke up suddenly, and found that the sky was just dawning, and after tossing and turning a few times, he couldn't sleep anymore, so he got up and put on his clothes and went to the yard to wash.

In ancient times, the poor used willow branches to brush their teeth, and the rich used green salt. Shandong is near the sea, there are many salt farms in the territory, and the current situation is chaotic, and the government cannot control the flooding of private salt. The sea salt used to rinse the mouth is bought, although it is not as good as the best green salt, but it can be used improvised.

After washing, Kang Xing'an's voice came from behind Zhang Li: "Young master, there is a lot of noise outside the city, and I don't know if something has happened?" ”

Zhang Zhang looked back and saw Anzi with a sleepy-eyed look, so he smiled and said, "Let's take a look when we clean up." ”

At this time, Gao Yuanliang also came out of the house, and the three of them cleaned up, then went out of the courtyard gate and walked towards the city gate.

There were already quite a few people on the street, apparently wanting to see what was going on at the city gates.

I didn't go far, and suddenly a shout came from the front: "Lord Yiqing has entered the city!" Idle people, etc., quickly avoid! ”

Zhang Li and the other three were startled and walked quickly to the side of the street, and the people in the chaos on the street also avoided one after another.

Gao Yuanliang lost his voice and said, "Yiqing? Jishi Yiqing Ip Mantian is here? ”

Zhang Zhang was at a loss: "Ip Mantian? ”
