Chapter 125: Miasma
Almost at the same time, the good news came from the front again.
Xiping Hou Muying advanced very smoothly in the front, especially after receiving grenades, and organized several relatively large-scale operations in a row.
These Northern Yuan generals and soldiers had never seen the power of a grenade, and they were almost crushed at the touch of a button.
Mu Ying also consumed another 8,000 grenades, and effectively annihilated the soldiers in Beiyuan, almost killing and wounding more than 10,000 enemies, and her own damage was very little.
Such a feats are naturally worth retributing, and he has already led the Ming army to advance forward, directly hitting two hundred miles in front of the fishing sea.
If everything goes well, Mu Ying will move forward, fight all the way to the fishing sea, directly destroy the Golden Tent and capture the Tianyuan Emperor, and achieve his own contribution to destroying the country.
In fact, of course, he also thinks so, which military general is not willing to make a great achievement, especially if there is such an opportunity.
However, Mu Ying is naturally sensible, he arrived two hundred miles overseas to fish, sent someone to Beijing to report the victory, and at the same time wanted to find out Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally admired this fierce general who dared to fight, so he only replied with one sentence.
"Will be outside, the king's order will not be affected."
In Mu Ying's view, Zhu Yuanzhang's words are a manifestation of his encouragement to march forward.
Mu Ying once again held a meeting, preparing to release a new combat mission, because he also wanted to see which general was brave and good at fighting, and which general was passive and avoided fighting.
After all the generals gathered, Mu Ying sat on the top of the commander and told them.
"Generals, Ben Shuai has just received a reply from the imperial court, His Majesty said to let me march at will, which means that I now want to go straight into the hinterland of the fishing sea, which is also a normal combat order, what do you think?"
These generals are also beating drums in their hearts, but the words have already been said in this part, and if anyone disagrees, he will not become a coward.
At this moment, a military medical officer suddenly walked into the big tent, first saluted Mu Ying, and then said.
"Marshal, we can't go any further here, we have investigated, this place is full of miasma, epidemics, and many of our soldiers have begun to have stomach troubles, and the initial suspicion is that it may be malaria."
Mu Ying was directly stunned, it had progressed to this point, it would be a pity if she gave up.
He looked around at the other generals and asked them.
"Are there any soldiers in your battalion who have malaria? If so, report it now. ”
Only then did I really understand that there were quite a few soldiers suffering from malaria, and there was already a tendency to spread, and yesterday there were even two soldiers who died of diarrhea.
Mu Ying is a general who cherishes his soldiers very much, and of course he will not joke with his soldiers casually.
The further he went here, the more powerful the Zhangqi in front of him became, so he could only temporarily set up camp, and once again sent people back to Beijing to ask for help and tell Zhu Yuanzhang about his difficulties.
Zhu Yuanzhang was still in a very good mood at this time, he was waiting for the good news from the front, it was best to capture Emperor Tianyuan alive.
When I received Mu Ying's twist again, it turned out that there was an epidemic in the front, and many soldiers lost their combat effectiveness, and some even died of diarrhea, this kind of thing is really terrible.
So, he immediately ordered Liu Tianhao, the doctor of the Tai Hospital, to come to his dormitory and asked.
"The soldiers at the front are suffering in the miasma, the epidemic is rampant, and there are many people who have malaria, do you have any help?"
For a long time, there has been no good way to treat malaria, except to drink more water and sweat, so you can only wait passively.
Liu Tianhao had no choice but to ask Zhu Yuanzhang for guilt, saying that he was really incompetent.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't blame it, there was no good cure for an illness like this in ancient times, and it would be meaningless if he had to criticize Liu Tianhao.
After sending this doctor away, Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it carefully, maybe only Lu Ning could solve the problem.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't take care of anything, and soon came to Changning with a horse and whip, and he walked straight into Lu Ning's small courtyard.
Lu Ning had just come back from office and was about to eat, but when he looked up, he found that his uncle had appeared in the courtyard, and he seemed to be very anxious.
He hurriedly walked over and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang before asking.
"Uncle, why are you here? Is there something wrong? Seeing that you are in such a hurry, if there is anything to do, please drink a glass of water and sit down to talk. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh, and then said to Lu Ning.
"The Department of Domestic Products sent me here to see if there is a medicine to treat malaria, and now the Northern Expedition of the imperial court has advanced very fast, but the Marquis of Xiping suddenly came to the show, saying that it is two hundred miles away from the fishing sea, where there is a miasma, there are already many soldiers infected with diseases, and there are even many people who have diarrhea and died."
Lu Ning nodded, he immediately understood that there was no real cure for the treatment of malaria, so the imperial court would send his uncle over in a hurry.
Seeing that his uncle was so in a hurry, Lu Ning directly gave his own answer.
"Don't worry, I have medicine here, and there are still a lot of reserves, you can take them to solve the urgent needs of the front line first, and we will deal with the rest slowly."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's originally tense nerves instantly relaxed, and he said immediately.
"Zi'an, you are simply a treasure of the imperial court, there is nothing you can't solve, and I am so proud of you."
Lu Ning didn't answer this conversation, but just said with a smile.
"It's nothing, it's just a coincidence, there are too many things I don't know, and I still need to improve it."
Actually, this is not a very modest word, and these things are not learned by himself, but all rely on the sign-in of merit points.
The money he earned in the salt mine last time, he actually gave 100,000 taels to the Changzhou Mansion for the construction project, and the merit points really earned a lot.
