Lao Zhu had a positive attitude towards the battle of Taicang.

In recent years, because Lao Zhu has always adhered to the military strategy of 'going to the army to fight and plot', he hoped to solve the problem as much as possible without using force, so that the Ming army encountered incidents such as sneak attacks and rebellions from time to time.

If the enemy does not really surrender, he cannot blame his own generals.

Moreover, Taicang Wei did not have any problems with Zhao Dingxi's handling of the fraudulent surrender.

Zhao Dingxi only lied about 300 people to vote, and Zhu Yu, the deputy commander of the Taicang Guard, brought nearly 700 people to deal with it, obviously not slacking off the enemy.

Who would have thought that according to the confession after the captivity, there were more than 1,600 people in those Haikou ships, which was more than the number of all the officers and soldiers of the entire Taicang Guard.

At that time, the Ming army, who went on the ship to inspect the ship, discovered the truth in advance and acted as a policeman, but it was too late to stop the Haikou ships from rushing to the port.

After that, the officers and soldiers of the Taicang Guard did not break up because of surprise, and the deputy commander Zhu Yu personally led his troops to meet the enemy until he died in battle, less than 700 officers and soldiers against 1600, and killed 500 enemies and captured more than 100 prisoners at the cost of more than 300 casualties, and the whole process was remarkable.

If it weren't for the resolute response of the Ming army, the damage caused to Taicang by more than 1,000 people under Zhao Dingxi's department would never have been as simple as snatching some ships and burning dozens of private houses and warehouses.

Therefore, Lao Zhu not only did not punish him, but also rewarded the officers and soldiers of the Taicang guard, and specially sent an envoy to Taicang to pay tribute to Zhu Yu, the deputy commander who died in battle.

Zhu Yuan's Chinese book also copied the sacrificial text: "Er came from the prefecture and devoted himself to the service with a heroic gesture, and has been doing it for ten years and six years." He was promoted to the deputy envoy of the command, guarded Taicang, and fulfilled his duties. Recently, due to the invasion of the sea, you are not afraid of danger, and you took the lead in the soldiers, but you died, which is deeply regrettable. However, the husband can serve his duties in life, and he can fulfill his loyalty in death, and his name is hanging on the bamboo silk, what a pity! ”

After the sacrifice, there are various bereavements for the Zhu family, including the promotion of Zhu Yu's eldest son Zhu Ju to a thousand households, and the temporary receipt of Taicang Wei.

Zhu Yuan did not approve of the hereditary system of the Ming Dynasty, but he had no opinion on this appointment. Zhu Juben was also a hundred households in Taicang, he participated in the killing of the enemy at that time, and he had the merit of success, and his father died and his son replaced, which is also a good story.

Then, Zhu Yuan also saw another appointment, promoting Pu Zhongheng, the commander of the Taicang Guard, to the deputy commander of the command, and rewarding a number of money and silk.

The problem is that Pu Zhongheng is lying in Zhu Yuan's Yinghai Envoy's Mansion at the moment.

Zhu Yu was killed in battle, Pu Zhongheng was also seriously injured, and a half-foot-long large wound was cut between his chest and abdomen, although it was not broken to the internal organs, but the blood loss was serious. In this era, similar to serious injuries, the probability of rescue is very low.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, when the news came, Zhu Yuan immediately sent Dai Sanchun to Taicang.

Dai Sanchun also studied the external injuries, otherwise he would not have been sent to accompany the army in the first place. However, Dai Sanchun returned from Taicang yesterday and brought Pu Zhongheng, who had been in a coma with a high fever, with him.

Pu Zhongheng's wound has been sutured, and this simple surgical operation can be traced back to Hua Tuo at the earliest, and it is not an uncommon means to put it in ancient times.

The problem is still infection.

Before making the microscope, Zhu Yuan and Dai Sanchun talked about new medicine, and they talked about the principle of infection, and if you want to avoid it, the key is hygiene.

Dai Sanchun did the same this time.

At that time in Taicang, the stitching needles were burned, the bandaged cloth was boiled, and a clean room was specially made with lime and sterilized, however, it was not avoided in the end.

Physical cooling has been tried, and the decoction that should be poured has been poured.

High fever just doesn't go away.

High fever is the body's immune system fighting infection, and it is conceivable that when the immune system is no longer able to resist, people have reached the end of the road.

Dai Sanchun was helpless and brought people back, only hoping that Zhu Yuan would have a way.

Zhu Yuan admires the soldiers who dare to resolutely respond to the battle in the face of a strong enemy, and Zhu Yu and Pu Zhongheng, who are already in high positions and can still take the lead, are actually even more rare.

Zhu Yu is destined to regret, and Zhu Yuan also hopes to save Pu Zhongheng.

However, what can he do?

I went to see it again this morning, and in the face of Dai Sanchun's expectations and Pu Zhongheng's family's pleading eyes, Zhu Yuan searched for the memories of his past life and put forward one last thought. However, he has no confidence at all whether it can be done.

Now there is no other way.

Hua Gao saw Zhu Yuan looking at the document in front of him in a daze, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Come back, it's windy again, don't blow it." ”

Zhu Yuan came back to his senses and nodded.

Finally, after instructing Yao Feng and others, Zhu Yuan sat in his own sedan chair and went to the west gate of Dinghai with Hua Gao, who came over on horseback, surrounded by guards.

Tens of thousands of people gather around, and it is inevitable that there will be various buying and selling needs. Outside the west gate of Dinghai, near the shipyard, has developed into a bazaar, with various vendors occupying both sides of the road, as well as soldiers and men who are gradually getting off work, bustling and bustling.

The Governor of the Navy and a certain 'palanquin envoy' interrupted the bustle for the time being, and when the two lords and hundreds of subordinates disappeared into the city gate cave in a majestic manner, all kinds of bargaining voices resounded, accompanied by scattered thoughts such as 'the great husband should be like this' and 'I will take his place' under the still envious gaze.

In an open-air tea shop less than ten zhang away from the West City Gate, there was a middle-aged man wearing a simple gray robe and a soft-footed head, who had been slightly bowing his head when the two adults passed by just now, and then raised his face again, but it was Chen Ning, the former Taicang City Shipper.

Listening to the whispering at the table next to him about the rumors of the 'sedan room envoy' 'sending five hundred years of national ancestry', and how many beautiful wives and concubines were hidden in the little adult's house, Chen Ning only had resentment in his eyes.

It was that person, on the twenty-sixth day of last month, in front of many people, who gave him the greatest humiliation in his life, and made him a joke.

Glancing at the direction of the city gate hole that had long been invisible, Chen Ning picked up the coarse porcelain tea bowl in front of him and drank the residual tea in one gulp, dropped a few copper coins, but after getting up, he did not walk towards the city gate, but a big willow tree not far away in the opposite direction.

Under the willow tree, there was a group of villager-looking men chatting, one of whom Chen Ning knew.

When he came closer, Chen Ning deliberately pinched the Mingzhou accent and arched his hand in the eyes of this person, who was obviously surprised: "Gan Baihu, don't come unharmed?" ”

This person was Gan Sui of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion who came from Jinling again yesterday.

When he first joined the army, Gan Sui once made 100 households, so he always liked to be called Gan Baihu when he interacted with people in private.

Gan Sui didn't expect it at the moment, but Chen Ning, who had only occasionally met in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, still remembered himself, and even knew his private name.

Of course Chen Ning knew.

Although his character has been criticized, he can go from an obscure Zhenjiang official back then, and once made a three-grade Chinese book senator, Chen Ning relies on a well-informed and knowledgeable person, the books he has read, the people he has seen, as long as he wants to remember, he will basically not forget.

Seeing that Gan Sui, who was recognized, his face changed several times for a while, and even revealed a bit of murderous intent, Chen Ning didn't seem to realize it.

When a group of villagers around the two of them heard the title of 'Baihu', they reacted that Gan Sui was different from them, and regretted that they seemed to be teased and said too much just now, and at the same time quickly dispersed, Chen Ning changed the official dialect of Jinling again: "Gan Baihu, remember to say hello to Zuo Xiang for the next, I gave Zuo Xiangren a few big cars and good things, don't forget to take it." ”

After Chen Ning finished speaking, he gave up his hand again, then turned around and walked to a mule cart parked on the side of the road.

Gan Sui watched coldly as Chen Ning was helped by two servants to get into the mule cart, all the way to the city gate, his expression was still changing. Thinking of Chen Ning's yin and yang weirdness just now, he was vigilant again, and after thinking about it, he followed.

Chen Ning has changed his residence.

After that day, Zhang Jaw turned his face, although he didn't drive people directly, but he also completely lost the initial enthusiasm, and he didn't exist at all.

Chen Ning was annoyed, and quickly moved out of the Zhang family's mansion. But he did not leave Dinghai, but asked his family to bring a large amount of money from Taicang, and bought a small courtyard in the northwest corner of Dinghai County.

Back at the lodgings, twilight had fallen.

Chen Ning didn't have the heart to eat, so he went straight to the study, and while flipping through the stack of academic manuscripts that had recently been dispersed from Yinghai Division, he was thinking about what he had just met with Gan Sui.

These days, there is no hope of seeking an official position, and he has suffered great humiliation, Chen Ning has only one thought in his mind.

Get you back!

Revenge for the deception of the naval envoy that day, revenge for the villain face of Zhang Jaw, and even, just seeing Gan Sui, he thought of Li Shanchang in Jinling City, he worked so hard, but only ended up with a 'never hired', he also wanted to retaliate.

He wanted these people to die.

Before meeting Gan Sui just outside the city, Chen Ning racked his brains, but he had no clue. After meeting Gan Sui, all the way back, his thinking quickly became clear.

In the study where the lamp was lit, Chen Ning's eyes were divergent and his expression was strange.

The middle-aged face, which is difficult to see the change in complexion on weekdays, even reveals a little weird ruddy,

Ruddy from excitement.

Because, he figured out a strategy, a strategy to string together all those who had neglected and bullied him, and not a single one of them wanted to escape!
