Chapter 557: Plague Five

Zhu Houhuang's attitude towards Yu Dayou became more and more polite and respectful.

Sometimes Zhu Houhuang has to admit that there are geniuses in the world, and most people are not geniuses. At least Zhu Houhuang doesn't think he's a genius, he's just an ordinary person who relies on his status as a prince and meets the traverser. In the battle of Daming, in order to cultivate his military strengths, it can be said that the big and small battles between Daming and Dongyong must be fought in every battle.

But even so, this one is the same age as himself. A young man who is not the same age as his own body, Zhu Houhuang even has a feeling of jealousy. Zhu Houhuang even had a feeling that if one day, he and Yu Dayou met on the battlefield, the person who died must be himself.

Therefore, Zhu Houhuang relied more and more on Yu Dayou. It seems that any military problem can find a perfect answer here in Yu Dayou.

Zhu Houhuang had to admit one thing. Every time he goes to the battlefield, it's actually a very meaningless thing. If the military power is given to Yu Dayou, the results will be better. But Zhu Houhuang's selfishness did not allow this, after all, the whole country's military commission was entrusted to others, and there were several monarchs who could sleep. At least Zhu Houhuang can't sleep.

After getting Zhu Houhuang's order, Yu Dayou immediately began to act.

He first prepared a large amount of rain gear, all of which were hats and coats.

It seems that every soldier is wearing a round and pointed hat, covering his eyebrows and eyes, and his body is covered with a robe, and he can't see his arm clearly, but he can only see a long knife with a sheath coming out of the robe, which is very martial arts.

The rainy season in Annam is not always rainy.

Whenever the rain stopped, Yu Dayou took his subordinates to prepare under the city, first with a large number of wooden frames, and then with mud with water, these wooden frames were buried. It's like reinforced concrete, and even after every rain, a lot of the soil that was just erected yesterday is washed away. Even the void soil is so muddy that people can't wait to sink half of their bodies when they walk up.

This kind of wooden rampart is very difficult to build, and Yu Dayou has to use a large amount of wood, as if this earthen ram is not made of earth, but is built of wood.

It took about ten days for Yu Dayou to build an earthen fortress under the city, and pushed a bronze cannon up, so that there were several Franc machine guns, and even tiger squat cannons, large and small uneven firearms.

Coupled with the wall made of wood above, this place has become a small stronghold far away from Ning Pingcheng.

Yu Dayou sent troops to guard it, and in a position parallel to the city wall, he again began to build another earthen rampart.

At this moment, Mo Dengyong can't do it.

However, the muddy land could not withstand the big battle, so Mo Dengyong sent hundreds of people to besiege the earthen fortress.

In order to facilitate the siege of the city, the location of this earthen fortress is actually a little closer to Ningping City, but it is not too far from the Yongjun camp. Before the arrival of the reinforcements of the large battalion, the artillery above the earthen ramparts was fired in unison, and with the help of firearms, the attack of the men below was suppressed. It's a breeze. By the time the reinforcements came, the Mozambican army had already retreated.

But that's just the beginning.

As if the Mo army had to uproot these key points, as soon as they had the opportunity, they would go out of the city to attack, and around these earthen ramparts, extremely tragic battles broke out between the two sides, but most of these battles were at the level of hundreds of people. Ever larger, and I don't know if the muddy ground limited the deployment of troops, or for some other reason.

Zhu Houhuang was worried for a few days, and slowly Zhu Houhuang was relieved, he handed over all the things to Yu Dayou, and he had more important things to do. It's a matter of epidemic prevention.

"Your Highness, the epidemic is getting worse and worse." Dr. Wen said. At this moment, Dr. Wen is very different from before, and the so-called not a good general is a good doctor. Dr. Wen also studied medicine because he failed to study and failed in the imperial examination, and you must know that the area around Jiangnan and Fujian has been a strong province in the imperial examination since ancient times. It's not easy to test a talent in this area.

Dr. Wen is gifted in medicine, and after becoming a famous doctor, he still has the style of a scholar, especially attaches importance to appearance, and has never been so disheveled, but now Dr. Wen is embarrassed like a savage.

But Zhu Houhuang understands Dr. Wen very well.

Because there are not enough doctors in the army.

In the entire army, even the doctors that Zhu Houhuang asked Wang Yangming to collect from the south were less than 100 people. Of course, this is not counting those crash surgeons trained by Zhu Houhuang, but even if they are counted. They can't help much.

With such a small medical team, it is already difficult to maintain the medical care of tens of thousands of people in the entire camp, not to mention the epidemic outbreak that has become more rampant as time drags on.

Dr. Wen, as the person with the highest medical skills, is also the person in charge of this area. The pressure was so great that he could imagine that he couldn't remember the last time he went to sleep, he was so tired every day that he could fall asleep at any table, and he slept very shallowly, and in his senses, he woke up almost immediately. As soon as you wake up, you get to work.

As for what time is it, what year is it? Dr. Wen didn't know about it for a long time.

Zhu Houhuang asked, "Mr. Wen, what is the situation in the army?" Can this epidemic be controlled? ”

Dr. Wen said: "Now it is not only malaria, but also large-scale injuries are about to break out, and the minister is really weak alone, please forgive your Highness." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "What Mr. Wen did, Gu Du saw in his eyes, Gu knew that Mr. Wen had done his best, this was the destiny of heaven, Mr. Wen only needed to tell Gu that the camp could last for a few days now." ”|

Doctor Wen silently calculated and said, "Your Highness should evacuate here in three days, and stay here." ”

"No, Lone with the soldiers." Zhu Houhuang smiled miserably, and he secretly said in his heart: "I never imagined that my grand plan for hegemony was not destroyed in the hands of Westerners, nor in the hands of Jiajing, nor in the hands of Yang Tinghe, but in the hands of a mere epidemic, is this really destiny?" Is it God's punishment for me to change history? ”

Zhu Houhuang looked up at the sky as if it had leaked, and said: "In today's battle, if Lone loses, the best result is to bow to Beijing, Gu Ning died here, and he is not willing to bow to those well-dressed beasts." ”

Doctor Wen said, "Your Highness. ”

Zhu Houhuang waved his hand and said, "Mr. Wen doesn't need to say much, you better do your own thing." ”

After such a thing, no matter how atheistic Zhu Houhuang is, he has to believe that there seems to be an existence in the underworld, otherwise how can his existence be explained. Zhu Houhuang prayed silently in his heart and said secretly: "God, didn't you let me come to this era just to reverse the entire era?" If so, please bless me and let me survive this calamity. ”

"Your Highness is overjoyed." Zhu Houhuang's ears moved, and he heard Li Liangqin's words. Li Liangqin continued: "Divine Doctor Xue, Divine Doctor Xue is here. ”

Zhu Houhuang was overjoyed, thinking that it was time to run, but he silently calculated the schedule in his heart and found that it was actually time to arrive. Then he banished the messy thoughts. Immediately went to see Doctor Xue.

Divine Doctor Xue is old and strong, although he is old, but he looks like he is in the prime of life, and he came over with a large group of people, these people are all disciples and grandchildren of Divine Doctor Xue, there are about more than a hundred people, it can be said that the elites of the Xue family are here.

At the beginning, Divine Doctor Xue had just arrived in Dongyong, and there were no more than ten Xue Divine Doctor and his disciples recruited by Zhu Houhuang, but under Zhu Houhuang's vigorous encouragement and beckoning disciples, it had swelled to such a point in just three years. However, in Doctor Xue's opinion, these people are just apprentices, and they can really make up for the evil of the teachers who followed him to Dongyong.

But even so, after three years of training by Doctor Xue, these people have already prescribed prescriptions independently in small places and various counties. can help Doctor Xue.

Zhu Houhuang hurriedly greeted him, and when he saw Divine Doctor Xue Zhu Houhuang pounced and was about to kneel down, Divine Doctor Xue was taken aback, and immediately hugged Zhu Houhuang and said, "Your Highness, you must not do this." There is a difference between respect and inferiority, His Royal Highness does this, let the old man be like this
