Chapter 50: A Deadly Buddy

Zhu Jian struggled for a few days, and finally set up the disinfectant production factory in the palace, the palace is large, there are places, there is no shortage of manpower, the most important thing is to keep it secret, this thing is currently listed as a strategic secret, it cannot be passed on for the time being, and the monopoly can also bring him a lot of income.

In order to save costs, he also cut the quota of famous liquor paid tribute to various places to one-fifth, and the remaining four-fifths were converted to spirits such as burnt knives, the higher the alcohol content, the fewer times of distillation and purification, and the cost could be reduced.

This is not enough, Zhu Jian also built a distillery in the palace, and distilled and purified his own wine, so that the cost is reduced a lot, and he can also sell some purified spirits for sale, and the income will offset the production cost of disinfectant.

After these things were organized, a small number of medical officers and nurses who had undergone a short period of training and brainwashing went to the Wolf Battalion, the Phoenix Legion and the Shenji Battalion, and most of them went to the front line in Liaodong or dispersed to local garrisons, accompanied by a small number of Jinyi Guards, who shouldered the duty of guarding and supervising, and the real purpose was to suppress the effect.

Prior to this, Zhu Jian issued a holy decree, informing the generals of all armies or the commanders of the garrison in a rather stern tone that the medical staff is a special branch of the army, and it is not only necessary to protect it well, but in the hospital's one-third of an acre of land, the medical officer has the final say, and the violator clicks.

The original military officers in various places and armies were automatically promoted to medical officers after systematic study, and the medical officers were temporarily set up from the seventh grade, with a president, and the Tai Hospital was sent to inspect and assess the five products from time to time, and the highest rank of the medical officer was the fifth grade.

Women are careful, and they are more competent than male nurses in nursing, Zhu Jian has not had this idea, but he just thought about it, and he immediately vetoed it, feudal tradition, in the era when men and women were not close to each other, the profession of female nurses was too difficult.

After finishing all this, Zhu Jian did not feel relaxed because of this, on the contrary, there was still a faint sense of loss in his heart, as if he still forgot something, but he really couldn't remember.

After the beginning of spring, the temperature began to warm up, the ice and snow melted, but there was not a drop of rain in many places in the south, and the drought began to appear, while the north continued to rain heavy rains, and floods occurred in many places.

Zhu Jian knew that the officials of the Ming Dynasty had always reported good news and not bad news, so he appointed Li Jingbai, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, to inspect the disaster area with a sword from above.

The drought in Fujian was quite serious, and Governor Xiong Wencan spent a lot of effort to "borrow" a lot of food from those landlords, old wealthy, and businessmen to help the victims, but he was still unable to appease all the victims.

Zheng Zhilong, a great pirate who was rampant on the sea, led a fleet to attack, defeated the Fujian Navy Division under the command of the chief soldier Yu Zhigao, beheaded his right-hand man, put Xu Suxin, and refused Xiong Wencan's recruitment, and continued to run rampant on the sea, becoming his sea overlord.

The impeachment of Xiong Wencan and Yu Zhigao was full of Zhu Jian's dragon case, but they were all suppressed by him, and he believed that as long as the trajectory of history did not change significantly, in a few months, Zheng Zhilong would accept Xiong Wencan's recruitment and return to the Ming Dynasty.

To be honest, Zhu Jian didn't know the person Yu Zhigao, let alone his ability, except for sending Jinyiwei to investigate secretly, and wrote to Xiong Wencan to ask for his opinion.

Xiong Wencan's reply is quite pertinent, Yu Zhigao is not only greedy and lustful, but his ability is still okay, the reason why he lost the battle is due to some factors, mainly because Zheng Zhilong's fleet is strong, and the naval battle is powerful, and even the fleet of the Dutch East India Company was beaten by him, and he saw the Zheng family's battle flag walking around from a distance.

Zhu Jian could only wait patiently, praying that Xiong Wencan would successfully recruit Zheng Zhilong, and when he saw the disaster in Shaanxi, he finally remembered a fatal thing, a person who always made him restless - Gao Yingxiang.

"Come on, quickly summon Lei Yin into the palace."

Zhu Jian remembered Gao Yingxiang, his face turned pale, this brother was one of the famous figures in the late Ming Dynasty, in Ansai, Shaanxi (now Yan'an City) raised the banner of anti-Ming Dynasty, the name of King Chuang was made up by him, and Li Zicheng supported this name after his death.

As soon as he thought of Gao Yingxiang, he immediately remembered another cow Sun Chuanting, this guy is a talent, there are many strategies, Wanli Jinshi, awarded the official Yongcheng Zhi County, at the beginning of the Apocalypse, he was transferred to Beijing to serve as the chief of the Ministry of Officials, and then promoted to Ji Xun Langzhong, because he was dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian's dictatorship, abandoned the official and returned to his hometown, and then Chongzhen was reused, led the army to beat the king of Gao Chuang, and captured him alive, and sent him to Beijing to be executed.

almost forgot about this cowman who killed Gao Yingxiang......

Zhu Jian sent someone to call Lei Yin urgently, that is, he asked him to send the master of Jinyi Wei to Ansai, Shaanxi to kill Gao Yingxiang, and at the same time sent someone to Daizhou, Shanxi, to escort Sun Chuanting into Beijing.

After Lei Yin left, Zhu Jian was still not at ease, and ordered all the garrisons in Shaanxi to be on strict alert to prevent civil uprisings, and at the same time ordered to reduce taxes in the disaster-stricken areas of Shaanxi for two years, and ordered the local chief officials to do their best to appease the disasters in their jurisdictions.

Zhu Jian patted his forehead and sighed, regretting it in his heart, knowing that in the first year of Chongzhen, disasters occurred frequently in various places, and some people erected flags against Ming, but he couldn't remember Gao Yingxiang, a terrible buddy, he was really dizzy, he didn't know if these arrangements were in time, so he could only do his best.

Zhu Jian's redress is still a step late, the trajectory of history has not changed, born in Ansai, Shaanxi, to sell horses as a profession, good at riding and shooting, Gao Yingxiang, who has excellent arm strength, gathered a group of brothers and erected the banner of anti-Ming.

As a matter of fact, disasters have occurred in many places in Shaanxi year after year, the people have fled with their families, the local parents and officials have not been effective in providing disaster relief, and many people have died of starvation, and the city gates have been closed to prevent the people from entering the city to beg, which has aroused strong dissatisfaction among the people.

Gao Yingxiang sells horses for a living, and he has a group of brothers who are quite capable of fighting, and he can still get on with his life, and he has not been forced to the point of being cornered and erecting a flag against the light, but several local big families want to monopolize the horse trafficking industry, Gao Yingxiang and his brothers have naturally become a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh that wants to get rid of them.

In the end, they joined forces to make a bureau, colluded with local parents and officials to frame Gao Yingxiang for stealing and selling military horses, and sent a quick arrester to Gao's house to arrest people.

Gao Yingxiang is usually very righteous, and he is very famous in the local area, and he also needs to deal with all parties in the hawker business, and he has some friendship with the fast catcher in the yamen, and some catchers give him a message and persuade him to run away quickly.

Gao Yingxiang knew that it was a pit, but he couldn't resolve it, and he was unwilling to leave his family and brothers and the foundation to run away, and he knew that if he was arrested and imprisoned by the yacha, he would definitely die, so he simply took his brothers to chop up all the arresters who came to arrest him, and then summoned the refugees to kill them in the city, chopped up the county magistrate, the chief bookkeeper, the county lieutenant, etc., and then led the crowd to wash the blood of the families who framed him, and distributed food to the victims.

At this point, Gao Yingxiang had no way back, and simply erected the banner of anti-Ming.
