That's a good relationship, but my father-in-law should be happy, why did he fall ill?" Zhu Zhen asked strangely.

"Alas, don't mention it......" Zhu Di said depressedly: "My father-in-law has been in poor health in recent years, and he has been fighting horses since he was a teenager, and he will inevitably suffer from injuries. When I was young, I could still hold on, but when I got older, all kinds of problems came to my door. Alas, and this place in Peking doesn't support people."

"My father told my father-in-law that he would go back to Nanjing to live together for the rest of his life, but my father-in-law has always had regrets in his heart, so he asked his father to give him a few more years. He continued, "So as soon as I received this valuable information, my father-in-law was very happy, and that night he led a few of us to make a battle plan in a hurry, preparing to break the routine and send troops in the first month, so that the army could rush to Gyeongju in February."

"Hmm." Zhu Zhen nodded, and said in his heart that his father-in-law was really eager to fight. For thousands of years, the war between the nomads of the Central Plains Dynasty was turn-based, and the nomads went south to plunder, which would definitely be in the autumn, and the Central Plains Dynasty would attack in the north, and it would definitely be in the spring.

There are many reasons for this, but in short, this kind of dispatch time, which has been followed for thousands of years, is strictly observed.

Therefore, every time the Ming Dynasty went on a northern expedition, it would send troops in February. This time, Xu Da advanced to the first month, and it was still in a rare cold winter, which can be said to be very risky.

However, who would question the decision of the Great General? That's Xu Da......

"The next day, we summoned the civil and military forces of Beiping to arrange pre-war preparations." Zhu Di continued: "The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, the first thing to talk about was the military rations, and my father-in-law asked Li Yu, the political envoy of Beiping, to recruit the people according to the envoy Zhao Quande, and transport the reserve military grain to Xifengkou for storage. and asked them to make a military order to ensure that 1.5 million stones would be shipped by the year before the year, and another million stones by the first month."

"As a result, the two of them panicked when they saw it, and they shirked in various ways and refused to make this military order." Zhu Di's tone gradually became heavy and said: "My father-in-law knew that there was something wrong with them at a glance, so he left the two of them to interrogate carefully after the meeting, and finally the two admitted that the military rations were not well preserved, and the loss was quite large, and it was difficult to allocate the entire amount."

Saying that, he explained to Zhu Zhen: "I don't know what the situation in Yunnan is, anyway, since the establishment of the Third Division here in Beiping, the military rations transported from the south are under the control of the Political Division. Then the feudal treasury allocated rations to the capital on a monthly basis, and in case of war, the military rations were allocated according to the general's request."

"We're pretty much the same over there." Zhu Zhen touched his nose, the old thief revoked the province and divided the power into three divisions, just to let them contain each other. However, in other provinces, the military cantonment guards under the capital division can produce their own military rations, so they are not so dependent on the political department.

However, Yunnan and Beiping, the frontier defense capitals, are far from being able to self-sustain their harvest in Tuntian, and they still need a steady stream of supplies from the interior. Naturally, it will be limited by the Chief Executive.

This is naturally inconvenient, but this design is obviously to prevent the border from messing up. It's not just because the old thief is seriously suspicious and sick, and it is impossible for anyone who becomes the emperor to let the border generals control the army and food at the same time. A general like Xu Da naturally knew this, so since the ninth year of Hongwu, he handed over this piece to the political secretary.

"There hasn't been much war in the north over the years, and there hasn't been any basket. Who knew that this time they were asked to dig out the old bottom, and the original form appeared in a flash." Zhu Di said hatefully:

"My father-in-law knew something was wrong, so he went to the inventory in person that day, and guess what? There were four million stone of military ration in the account, but there were less than two million stone in the treasury. And half of it is moldy old rice mixed with sand and weeds! If that kind of food is distributed to the soldiers, they will be able to rebel directly!"

"Is that an exaggeration?" Zhu Zhen was dumbfounded and said, "How dare you do this under the nose of the general? It's too frustrating, isn't it?"

"But that's how mad they are!" Zhu Di sighed and said: "My father-in-law was in a hurry on the spot, vomited blood and fainted, and after being carried back, he had back gangrene, pain day and night, diet gradually decreased, and now he is emaciated and bedridden."

"Back gangrene...... Zhu Zhen's face turned pale when he heard these two words, this is exactly the illness that killed Xu Da!

"The imperial doctors of my palace, as well as the famous doctors in Beiping, are helpless, saying that the male and female are divided into male and female, and the male is okay

It is difficult to save the mother's immortals." Zhu Di said and grabbed the sixth child's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Don't you know a lot of magical recipes, is there one that can cure back gangrene?"

"......" Zhu Zhen sighed, "I'm not a doctor, I'm just a blind idea, you ask me why don't you find the fifth brother."

"Is the fifth child so powerful?" Zhu Di was a little surprised, although he loved his younger brother as an elder brother, he was also the easiest to ignore his achievements. "I've only heard that he's an expert in treating infectious diseases, but I've never heard that he's going to treat people with back gangrene."

"Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean he won't." Zhu Zhen said, "Do you know how many surgeries he has performed in Kunming Military Hospital in the past few years? Do you know the extent of his medical research?"

"To what extent?" Zhu Di opened his mouth wide.

"I don't know how powerful Bian Que Hua Tuo is in history." Zhu Zhen said, "But I believe that the fifth brother is Bian Que Huatuo of this era."

It's not that the fifth brother's talent can catch up with Bian Que Hua Tuo, but that his research conditions far exceed those of the ancient famous doctors who fought alone. and helped him hang up, the level can't catch up with Bian Que more than 2,000 years ago, and Hua Tuo more than 1,000 years ago, that's outrageous.

"Is it so powerful?!" Zhu Di was immediately excited, and shouted, "I'll write to him and ask him to come to Peking quickly!"

"No need, my father has already sent the fifth brother." Zhu Zhen shook his head and said, "It just so happened that he returned to Beijing from Yunnan to see his mother, and at this time, his mother's condition was also stable, and his father sent him to Beiping, and it is estimated that he will arrive three or five days later than me."

"That's great!" Zhu Di happily hugged the horse's neck and shook it happily, and said happily: "If the fifth child is still in Kunming, this time it will be troublesome!"

"That's not it." Zhu Zhen smiled and said with a straight face: "But don't be too optimistic, when the manpower is exhausted, the fifth brother will not necessarily be cured."

"Of course, a healer doesn't heal a life." Zhu Di nodded heavily and said, "But there's always hope, isn't it?"

"That's it." Zhu Zhen nodded and smiled, "Especially the treatment of such diseases such as gangrene, sores, and carbuncles, but our Yunnan Military Hospital specializes in it."

"How?" Zhu Di asked.

"In the hot and humid weather of the southwest, there is no one who does not give birth to these things." Zhu Zhen replied.

"Haha, then I'm more confident!" Zhu Di laughed happily and entered Tongzhou City side by side with Zhu Zhen.
