Chapter 342: Plague in the Army?

This time it seems that the Great Yan Army has won a big victory, but in fact, it is also a bit of a loss.

In order to make up for this matter, Zhao Hengyi thought about it, or wait a little longer, their current strength is seriously damaged, and it is impossible to recover all at once.

And because of the protection of two huge cities on his side, it can be said that the rear is steady and steady.

"Wait!"

Zhao Hengyi set up a large camp nearby, however, within a few days, there was an accident in the barracks.

Not because of the enemy's sneak attack, nor because the enemy launched a fierce attack, but because of the plague in their camps.

The most feared thing in a war is the occurrence of a plague, and once such a disease occurs, it will spread from one to the other.

The reason why the plague will arise is because when there is a war, many corpses do not have time to be disposed of, and it will bring great trouble to the army.

Fortunately, the current plague is only spreading among hundreds of people.

Originally, the other generals didn't take this matter too seriously.

Zhao Hengyi didn't know, but he overheard some soldiers discussing this matter, and he immediately realized that this might not be simple, so he asked the military doctor to check it, and then he knew that it was the plague.

All of them have been given to the Motherland, a separate barracks.

Try to treat it with medicinal materials, if the treatment is really not good, you can only burn it on the spot.

There was a plague, and in ancient times there was only one way.

If you are soft-hearted, it will cause the fall of the entire army, and no one wants to see this happen.

"General, the plague has been brought under control for the time being, but I think there will also be a plague on the Annan side."

"The hot weather here is itself conducive to the spread of the plague, plus they have also lost a lot of people, many of whom are injured."

Wang Erniang stood aside and made a bold prediction.

Zhao Hengyi thought so too.

However, the presence of a plague in the barracks also had a great impact on the morale of the army.

Everyone did not die on the battlefield, but died under the plague, and every soldier who fought in the war would be a little unacceptable.

"Okay, then wait."

"Doctor, are you going to do it? Can this plague be cured? ”

Zhao Hengyi shouted angrily.

The military doctor was sweating on his forehead, and he glanced at it with some embarrassment, "General, it should be possible, but a large number of medicinal materials are needed, our army does not have medicinal materials now, and there are no medicinal materials on Annan's side." ”

"Then let them know and let them buy it quickly!"

Zhao Hengyi knew in his heart that the reason why this military doctor was talking was that he was afraid that he would spend a lot of money.

After all, to buy medicinal materials from Qiongzhou in Sanya Bay, in addition to using ships, you also need a lot of silver taels, and those medicinal herb merchants will not sell them to you cheaply because it is a war now.

"General, I'm afraid this will be a waste of huge money, I don't have any support myself, everything is borne by ourselves, and they don't support it at all."

"Now that our soldiers have encountered the plague and need a large number of medicinal materials for treatment, the imperial court should not take care of it, in this case, let's save this money."

"Why!"

Zhao Hengyi frowned, a little angry.

He couldn't understand why his men would say that.

Isn't the life of a soldier a life?

"Zhang Can, you've been following me for a while, I hope you can understand."

"Money can be earned, but a soldier only lives once, and we don't want any soldier to die because of the plague."

"Even if there is a glimmer of life, we will not give up their lives, this is a matter of principle."

"If that's what you say, why should there be a military doctor in our barracks..."

"Yes, General, my subordinates are a little too aggressive."

"In this way, wait for a while, anyway, now the enemy army does not dare to fight back against us, they may have a large number of plagues."

"Find the imperial court to ask for a military fee to buy medicinal materials, if you really don't want to give us and buy it yourself, I don't believe it!"

Zhao Hengyi knew that the opportunity was slim, but he also had to fight for it, and he didn't know what the ministers in the court thought.

Officials, when will they be able to be tough?

……

Capital.

Above the court, the young official looked at the ministers below and said slowly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there has been a large number of plagues in my army, which requires the purchase of a lot of medicinal materials for diagnosis and treatment."

"Now it has to be supported by military spending, so let's talk about it."

Several Wenchen suddenly stood up at this moment, looking very uniform.

"Your Majesty, we agreed at the beginning, we will not give them any military support, nor will we give them military support, let them fight by themselves.

If you win, everyone will be happy, and if you lose, let them get back, and don't reach out to us for money again. ”

"Official, I don't think this is necessary!"

"Yes, the treasury itself is tight now, they actually want to fight it themselves, they have to do any military spending, and now there is a plague in the army, and it can be cured."

"Medicinal materials or something, it is estimated that it will not have much effect, and the old minister learned that it is difficult to cure the plague after getting it in the army, so this is completely a waste of money."

"Resolutely can't give it, the treasury itself is tight now, what if we give it to them!"

Listening to them on the side, saying these speechless words, Lu Guogong trembled angrily.

He stood up and looked at the official family, and looked at these ministers present.

"It's just that you need money and food support to buy medicinal herbs, so there's no need to say so much."

"The Marquis of Qiongzhou won the army, and he is about to break through the enemy's country, but now because of the problem of money, he can't attack for a long time, who will bear this responsibility!"

"He must be responsible for himself, after all, he wants to go on the expedition himself, not us forcing him to go, he has already promised, so why do you want to reach out to us!"

"Lu Guogong, don't think that we don't know what kind of calculation you have in your heart, in short, it's absolutely impossible to ask for money, let them figure out their own way with medicinal materials, aren't they capable!"

"It's said that this battle can't be fought, and a war is costly, time-consuming, and laborious, you still don't believe it, what do you think now!"

Lu Guogong was really disappointed, his eyes were lonely, why did he become the way he is now?

The official sat on his dragon chair, and he also looked extremely helpless.

He really doesn't seem to have much to say.

"So you're not going to give money to treat the soldiers in the army?"

"Yes, don't give money, let them figure it out for themselves!"
