Chapter 38: The Three Divisions Meet
Of course, the ancients did not know that the maggots that bred on the wounds of the tract infection did not aggravate the infection, but were conducive to healing. And Zhu Yongxing will not wait for the wounded to be infected and have maggots on the wounds naturally, he has his simple method of raising maggots, that is, to learn from the preparation method of "sprout" vegetables in the south.
Sprouts sound disgusting and look disgusting, but it is a high-protein food, very replenishing, and it is said that it is also delicious to eat, but Zhu Yongxing has not had the courage to try it. The method of the dish is to hang the meat with the required seasoning to lure the flies to give birth to maggots, and when the maggots grow fat, they fall into the pocket hanging under the meat, which is called meat sprouts.
Later researchers said that maggots may be able to clean large wounds that are difficult to heal faster than surgery; The maggot secretion is also capable of destroying unhealthy or abnormal tissues without damaging healthy tissues; Maggots remove bacteria from the wound and can stimulate wound healing......
Zhu Yongxing doesn't have to explain without looking at the slogan to see the curative effect, and he can't explain it clearly, but in the name of God and God, it is easier for people to believe and have a sense of awe.
The ancients often explained the rise and fall of the country with similar illusory things. Therefore, Zhu Yongxing pretended to be a ghost, not only to improve his personal prestige, but more importantly, to boost people's confidence in continuing to fight against the Qing Dynasty.
The Ming Zuo is not extinguished, the qi is not exhausted, and God has given the method of healing, which will surely have a great political impact. Once it spreads, it will affect more than just the thousands of people around you. Moreover, the rumors have always had the characteristics of artistic reprocessing and sublimation, and Zhu Yongxing didn't dare to imagine what it would be like in the future.
…………
Maggots, which used to be small, have become much larger after feasting on the festering wounds, and some maggots have begun to crawl outward because there is nothing to eat.
The medical officer swept away the maggots, examined the wounded, and then told Chen Yiyao, who looked strange, next to him: "General, his fever is decreasing, and there is no fear of his life in this situation." Many of the other wounded have also improved, so take you to see it? ”
From astonishment to suspicion, and then admiring Zhu Yongxing in the face of the facts, and actively promoting maggot therapy in the barracks, the attitude of this medical officer is what Chen Yiyao sees. He shook his head slightly, signaled that he didn't need to, and turned and walked out of the tent.
Stretching out his hand to block the dazzling sunlight, Chen Yiyao saw his old superior, Wu Zisheng, the Marquis of Huairen, who was slowly wandering around something in a grass hut with his hands behind his back.
"I've seen Master Hou." Chen Yiyao walked into the grass shed and saluted Wu Zisheng.
Wu Zisheng waved his hand, his eyes were still staring at the meat hanging in the grass shed, there were already tiny maggots drilling around, he seemed to have adapted, and his face was no longer cold.
"You say, it's just such a little thing, it turns out that the disgusting people crawling around in the manure pit and latrine, can be raised in a different way, and they can actually heal injuries and save people." Wu Zisheng twisted his eyebrows and squeezed his eyes, I don't know if he sighed, or he still couldn't believe it, but he didn't want to mention the name maggot and replace it with a small thing.
"Your Highness said that the things on it have grown fat and fallen off, but they are still big supplements!" Chen Yiyao suddenly had a bitter look on his face, as if there was really a granule in his mouth, and shook his head again and again, "That, what kind of high egg, high protein, His Highness seems to call it so." ”
"If you can't stand it, you and I will definitely not be blessed." Wu Zisheng waved his hand again and again, smiling bitterly.
Chen Yiyao laughed for a while, and asked tentatively: "I heard that Zhang Guangcui and Chen Sheng will lead their troops to set off tomorrow and go to Tengchong to meet His Highness?" ”
Wu Zisheng nodded, and said with a slight mockery: "The second general is afraid that he will be late, and he will be late!" ”
Chen Yiyao hesitated for a moment and said: "His Royal Highness has been in Tengchong City for more than ten days, and Gao Wengui, Marquis of Guangchang, and Wu Sanxing, the general of Dingshuo, have led troops to the meeting, and the army is growing stronger, and it seems that they have the heart to fight with the Qing army. ”
"It's just a little stronger." Wu Zisheng sighed and said without worry: "Your Highness is not a lie when he gets the guidance of the gods, but he is young and vigorous, and he is eager to engage the army, but he can't help but be a little careful. Staying in Tengchong for a long time, erecting the king's flag and passing on the edict, wouldn't it attract the attention of the Qing army? I'm afraid that the current Yongchang Qing army is planning and preparing, and it will be brought in soon. ”
Chen Yiyao was silent for a long time, and guessed and said: "If King Li Jin and King Gongchang come when they hear about it, or other friendly troops rush to meet, they may not have the strength to fight. ”
"Your Highness won't go south to meet the two feudal clans of Jin Gong, how can you inform you that you will be summoned urgently?" Wu Zisheng stroked his beard under his chin, frowned and said, "Your Highness's plans are very far-reaching, beyond you and I can know. That's it, it's a big deal, there are thousands of soldiers in His Highness, plus the army they meet, and they are waiting for work. If the Qing army came to attack from afar, it would not be able to win the battle if it did not have many troops. Tomorrow, we will also raise troops to the north to help His Highness. ”
……………
Pursuit and escape seem to be one active and the other passive, but if you analyze it objectively, you will find that both may be equally hard. It's just that the fleeing party is flustered and has no time to think about this, so it doesn't have the intention of stopping and fighting back.
After Zhu Yongxing saw the embarrassing situation of the Sanctuary of Wuzi, the Marquis of Huairen, he had new thinking and judgment, and his confidence was further enhanced. The Southern Ming army has been stationed in Yunnan and Gui for several years, and it is still unable to fully adapt to the water and soil and effectively resist the miasma, not to mention the Qing army that came from afar and entered the hot and humid land in the southeast? There are only a few words in the history books that mention that the Qing army is not accustomed to water and soil, but the severity is not stated, just as the history books say that the battle of Mopanshan was the defeat of the Ming army, but it is rarely said that the Qing army also suffered heavy casualties.
This is the result of the Qing Dynasty's destruction of books and usurpation of history, covering up defeat into victory, only talking about the results, less about losses. Based on his own observation and analysis, Zhu Yongxing should be said to have reached a relatively accurate conclusion, which is undoubtedly the reason for his high confidence.
"The grass is sprouting, the miasma is getting worse, and the Qing army in Kunming wants to make a big move, and it is very difficult." Standing on the tower of the ancient city of Tengchong, Zhu Yongxing was analyzing the situation with Gao Wengui, Marquis of Guangchang, and Wu Sanxing, the general of Dingshuo, and making his own judgment, "If we wait for the frost to fall and the miasma before sending troops, I am afraid that we will gather the remnants of the army, and we will be in one place, and it will be difficult to control it." And the quickest way is to dispatch the Yongchang Qing army to the nearest and attack quickly. ”
"His Royal Highness is unfurling the king's flag here, it turned out to lure the Qing army to attack." Wu Sanxing, the general of Dingshuo, made a sudden statement, and immediately cautiously admonished: "The Qing army in Yongchang is nearly 10,000, and the attackers will not be less than six or seven thousand. Although there are soldiers to help in the battle, they are not accustomed to battle formations, and His Highness should be cautious. ”
"If you stick to the city, you can still succeed." Gao Wengui, Marquis of Guangchang, patted the heavy city wall and said his opinion, "The Qing army came from afar, and the grain road was long, and it could not be attacked for a long time, so it would naturally retreat." ”
