Chapter 210: The Plague

In a circle, Fang Jie had been in Guangchuan County for more than half a month, because he had written a letter to Qi Shu and a report to His Majesty.

Writing a letter to Qi Shu was to seek some countermeasures, and writing a report to His Majesty was to show that he could not do anything about this matter.

It's almost the end of summer, but there is still no progress in matters related to Guangchuan County. Isn't that very anxious?

Anyway, Ning Ze took Ji Nan away, which also caused a certain impact on him, anyway, he had a lot of reasons to find.

But what Fang Jie didn't expect was that not long after his letter was sent, the soldiers in the three armies under his command began to have varying degrees of disease reactions.

Earlier it was vomiting, diarrhoea, and weakness, then a high fever that persisted, and then extensive ulceration began to appear on the body.

Even the military doctor said that he was very helpless, so much so that he was very nervous when he told Fang.

Because the cause of the disease cannot be found.

Gradually, most of the soldiers in the army contracted this strange disease.

In the military tent, all kinds of weak howls could be heard day and night.

Those who listened to it only felt very infiltrating, because they had never encountered such a thing, and they were afraid that they would be infected with this disease.

Among them, the most feared is Fang Jie, he still has a loving mother and a weak beautiful lady in his family, he can't die so easily, if he dies, then what should they do?

So, Fang Jie hurriedly moved his military tent far away, and then the adjutant generals who came to report every day asked him to stand far away to report.

The others were nowhere to be seen.

When the soldiers saw their generals like this, they only felt a chill in their hearts, but they didn't expect this to be the case.

For such an urgent matter to happen suddenly, Fang Jie couldn't do it, and he turned his head and reported it immediately, otherwise he couldn't afford to blame it when the time came.

Except for reporting, Fang Jie doesn't seem to know anything.

As some have predicted, the aftermath of the disaster, which is not dealt with in a timely manner, has led to a wide range of epidemics.

Those county orders who were temporarily summoned by Ning Ze, after discovering that something was wrong, ran faster than rabbits one by one.

But fortunately, at least they left all the military supplies that should have been prepared here, so that Fang Jie did not starve to death.

Due to the delay of Fang Jie, the matter in Guangchuan County was unresolved, and now it has led to an epidemic among soldiers.

To be honest, if Fang Jie goes back and is not disposed of, it will be intolerable.

The military doctor said that it was an epidemic, but he couldn't understand the root cause of the epidemic.

It is said that it is an epidemic, but I don't know if it is an epidemic, but it is very similar to what is said in the medical book.

It was as if overnight, a few of the soldiers who had been doing the cooking work had suddenly collapsed.

The military doctor didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking that it was just a simple heat stroke, after all, heat stroke in this summer is still very normal, although it is already the end of summer, but the sun is still very strong.

So, the military doctor treated the heat stroke according to the method, but found that the treatment was the same as the non-treatment.

As more and more soldiers got sick, he began to panic, knowing that the disease was not what he had envisioned.

By the time he trembled and reported to Fang Jie, more than half of the infected soldiers in the army had already passed.

And Fang Jie also chose to protect himself at the first time, and separated the sick from the good soldiers who had already shown signs of illness.

In addition to ensuring that they eat and drink water every day. Nothing else touches them.

Although this practice is cruel, it has to be said that it is also to preserve the vitality and avoid more casualties.

Because after Fang Jie sent someone to deliver the letter to Shaoliang, the number of deaths began to rise.

No matter how hard the military doctor tried, he could not delay or even prevent the death of a soldier.

At this rate, the three thousand soldiers brought by Fang Jie will soon all be lost here.

He's had enough of the charges he bears, and he can't afford anything else.

The soldier who delivered the letter also felt that he had a great responsibility, and rushed to Shaoliang in the starry night, his brothers were suffering, and the military doctor said that he would take some experienced doctors back.

Without His Majesty's order, Fang Jie didn't dare to leave the station without permission, but in fact, he really wanted to leave immediately.

Why did he have such a thing!

Ning Ze and Ji Nan had already returned to Shaoliang City first, but they didn't take any action about it for the time being.

After a short rest at home for two days, they had already discussed it when they were on the road, and Ning Ze would prepare the content of the report, as for what to say, Ji Nan didn't care.

Ji Nan was of course happy to be idle when he heard this, but he still emphasized that he was assassinated by someone and that Fang Jie had left him behind, so he must let Ning Ze sue Fang Jie before he was satisfied, otherwise he would never let him go so easily.

Ning Ze dealt with him in a hurry, and he naturally knew how to write in the future.

Just when he was writing at home in the past two days about what he had seen and heard when Shaoliang City arrived in Guangchuan County in the past few days, there was very important news from the court.

A large-scale plague broke out in the city of Guangchuan County, which has caused considerable casualties, and the soldiers stationed outside have also been deeply affected, some soldiers chose to commit suicide because they could not survive the pain of the epidemic, while some soldiers were killed alive, and the remaining soldiers were struggling to survive.

No one knows what happened to them before they died.

"Rubbish! I can't even handle this little thing! Yan Mo pushed all the official documents on the case in front of him to the ground, the expression on his face was very ugly, and he couldn't help but be furious when he looked at the courtiers who lowered their heads and kept silent.

is the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, he is raising a group of rice buckets, and no one squeaks when it is their turn to come up with an idea, what is not a group of rice buckets?

"Speak! One by one, aren't you usually able to say it? Why don't you squeak now? Fang Jie is not usually praised by you, why, is it wilting now? Yan Mo sneered.

None of the ministers below dare to speak up, no one wants to be a scapegoat, and those who come out always die first, don't they?

When Ning Ze was urgently summoned to the palace, Yan Mo had just finished his anger in the court, removed several ministers from his positions, and then left the hall angrily.

This plague must be contained in time, if it spreads to other places, and even Shaoliang here, the consequences are really unimaginable.

Yan Moqi's face was pale, and after the next dynasty, he sent someone to call Ning Ze into the palace, it has been two days since he came back from Guangchuan County, and if he said that he would bring Ji Nan back, he really just brought Ji Nan back, and he didn't care about anything else, what was this like?

The eunuch who was accompanying him saw His Majesty's very ugly face, and knew that something was wrong, His Majesty was angry, and King Guanghan must be careful not to offend His Majesty.

So Ning Ze was warned by the eunuch when he entered the palace, of course, this eunuch also received a lot of gifts from Ning Ze at the beginning, and he was a good one.

Ning Ze himself had already anticipated something, and he had also made a rough plan in his heart, preparing how to deal with it.

The splendid hall bears the imprint of the previous dynasty, Ning Ze always does not squint when he passes by and sees it, even if it is really very majestic, a corner of His Majesty's imperial study is the position he should stand, and it is also the safest position.

"See Your Majesty!" Ning Ze knelt down and bowed.

Yan Mo glanced at him and didn't speak, but waited for a long time before letting him get up, but he didn't let Ning Ze sit down as usual.

After a while, he said: "Ning Ze, what's going on in Guangchuan County?" Why have things become so unending now? He wondered what was going on.

"Your Majesty, this matter is a long story, and Ning Ze doesn't know where to start."

"It starts when you arrive in the county seat of Guangchuan." Yan Mo put down the brush in his hand, looked at Ning Ze and said.

"The minister was ordered by His Majesty to pick up His Royal Highness the Prince, because considering the large number of refugees in Guangchuan County, so a part of the grain and grass has been escorted in case of emergency, and the rest of the grain and grass is accompanied behind, and it also arrived soon after the minister arrived in Guangchuan County.

After the minister arrived in Guangchuan County, he learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not listen to the content of the minister's letter, but followed General Fang Jie to Guangchuan County.

They rushed into the city and were attacked by refugees, and when the ministers arrived, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was already trapped in the refugee pile, and General Fang Jie rushed out with his own people, leaving His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behind.

The minister scattered the dry food from the gate of Gwangcheon County, attracting the attention of the refugees, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was able to escape and rush to the city gate to meet the minister.

Soon after the convergence, the minister took His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to Shaoliang, and handed over all the remaining matters in Guangchuan County to General Fang Jie to deal with, as for why it developed into the current situation, the minister did not know.

In addition, in addition to encountering refugees in Shaoliang City, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also encountered assassins, whose identities are unknown for the time being. ”

Ning Ze chose to tell the truth, and did not exaggerate the facts as Ji Nan said, or help Fang Tie cover up something, and only His Majesty would believe it if he told the truth, otherwise what he said was inconsistent with the facts, and His Majesty himself could guess it.

Yanmo naturally believed what he said, and the reason why Ning Ze was most important to him was that what he said was true, not false, if it was adulterated, he wouldn't believe him.

"You mean to say that Fang Jie deliberately left the prince in the refugee pile and met the assassins?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"But if you find out what he did, can Fang Jie let you go?" Yanmo thought for a while and said.

"Your Majesty is wise." Ning Ze knew that Yan Mo would definitely be able to guess. "The minister mobilized the county commanders near Guangchuan County in advance to come to reinforcements, and Fang Knot hesitated, afraid that the matter would be revealed, plus the minister brought a hundred people, and he couldn't kill it. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the minister and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left quietly. ”
