The sound of chaotic footsteps outside the tent distracted Ang Lee's thoughts. Li An came back to his senses and looked up to see several people walking in from outside the tent.

The first person, eight feet long, imposing, with a rough face, eyes like copper bells, is a tiger general. Li An learned from Li Dingguo's memory that this was Jin Tongwu, a capable general under Li Dingguo.

Jin Tongwu was followed by Li Dingguo's cousin Ma Siliang, his second son Li Sixing and his youngest son Li Runxing, the general soldiers Hu Shundu, Wang Daoheng, Wei Yong, and Liu Zhen, the son of the king of Shu.

Li An saw the few remaining generals, and his heart was sad. Since Sun Kewang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and presented the "Yunnan-Guizhou Map" to the Qing Dynasty, the defense secrets of the southwest were lost, and the Qing army attacked Guizhou in three ways.

However, at that time, Li Dingguo was suppressing the rebellion of Wang Ziqi and Guan Youcai in Yongchang, and he had no time to counterattack, resulting in Wu Sangui capturing Zunyi, Luo Tuo conquering Guiyang, and Zhuo Butai occupying Dushan, posing a serious threat to Yunnan.

After quelling the rebellion, Li Dingguo hurriedly turned back to deal with the Qing army, but the command was wrong, and he fell into Hong Chengchou's plan, and successively folded Feng Shuangli, Li Chengjue and other generals, and suffered heavy losses.

After the tragic Battle of Mopan Mountain, two-thirds of the elite were buried in World War I. Fortunately, not long after, He Jiuyi led 10,000 people from Guangnan to meet, and Qi Sansheng, Wei Yong and others all led their troops to vote. After the army was slightly strengthened, it attacked Burma twice, and returned twice without success, losing troops and losing troops.

Although the anti-Qing forces suffered setbacks at every turn, Ang Lee believes that the current situation is not too bad. In May of this year, Jiang Guotai, a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, persuaded Siam (Thailand) to marry Li Dingguo, and Siam provided elephant horses to help Li Dingguo recover Yunnan.

Ma Jiu Gong, who was sent to Gula (also known as the Wa State), was also successful, and he helped the local princes train their armies and organize a contingent of more than 4,000 people.

The Jin kings, Siam, and Gula formed an alliance.

Now I have to borrow soldiers, horses, and food and grass from the Comfort Division in the car. Then add the alliance of Siam and Gula to attract the attention of the Qing court.

Because Li Dingguo, who knew history, knew that the thirteen families in Kuidong would soon be surrounded and suppressed by the Qing soldiers.

If you don't attract the attention of the Qing soldiers, then the thirteen families of Kuidong will not be able to escape the doom of being destroyed. The Thirteen Families of Kuidong are a very strong anti-Qing force, and they must be saved as a living force.

After everyone entered the account, they lined up in two compartments and saluted Li An, who was sitting in the center of the case. After saluting, Jin Tongwu took the lead in speaking: "The king's body is healing? "Jin Tongwu is a brave man with few strategies, a more upright temperament, and he has always spoken straightforwardly.

Li An said: "It's not about healing, it's just stronger than a few days ago."

As soon as Li An's words fell, Ma Siliang immediately spoke: "The king's health has improved, I don't know when he will move to the Jingline?" There is not much food and grass in the army. ”

Li An asked, "How much grain and grass is there in the army?" ”

Ma Siliang replied: "There is no shortage of forage, and there are only 300 stones of grain left. ”

Li An made a rough calculation when he heard this, and the grain and grass were only enough for three or four days, so it seemed that he had to go to the scenery as soon as possible. The reason why Li Dingguo came to Mengla was to borrow troops from the Cheli Xuanwei Division (now Xishuangbanna), but because he fell ill, the borrowing of troops was also interrupted.

Now that I have a different soul, I have no heart disease, and my body has improved, I should go to the Cheli Propaganda Division to continue to discuss the matter of borrowing troops.

Li An then said: "Today, this king will go to the car to preach the consolation division, and after borrowing soldiers, horses, grain and grass, we will immediately pull out the camp." I have called you here to take counsel about the pestilence. ”

When the generals heard Ang Lee talk about the plague, their faces were saddened. This group of people, it's okay for you to let them fight, but it's really hard for them to let them heal and save people.

Seeing this, Li An said: "Listen, from today onwards, everyone in the army must boil the water before drinking. It is forbidden to drink raw water, and those who drink raw water are fined 20 military sticks. There is also a cloth for bandaging wounds, which must be boiled in boiling water before use. In addition, count the soldiers infected with the plague and isolate them. ”

There is no way, in my previous life, as an expert in history and military research, I didn't know much about medical skills, I only knew how to simply drink hot water, disinfect and isolate boiling water. I can only try to control the plague first, and then find a way to find a doctor to treat it after going to the scenery.

In the end, Li An ordered that the whole army should not kneel down after the whole army, and it was enough to bow when the superiors met.

After the Ming Dynasty overthrew the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly ordered a ban on kneeling and worshipping, and restored the traditional Han worship.

Such as "Ming Shilu. Emperor Taizu Gao's Record Volume 70 records: "At the beginning, the military and civilians still followed the customs, and most of the drinking banquets and wines were bowed down, and the provincial ministers and officials of the Ministry of Rites were ordered to declare a ban on ceremonies. ”

And the Ministry of Rites devoted: "All officials who perform affairs, listen to edicts, pay tribute in kind, and receive gifts, sacrifices, incense, laying silks, sacrificing wine, reading blessings, etc., shall kneel as usual." His salute, where the lower sees the superior, bows down and raises his hands and eyes in respect, and the official sits and stands without answering; Secondly, the lower officials raised their hands and mouths, and the upper officials raised their hands and answered in unison. ”

The Ming Dynasty formulated the "Ming Collection Ceremony", which made every effort to restore the etiquette culture of the Han nationality and ordered the officials and the people to perform worship rites. And take a series of hard measures to remove the Mongolian yuan, among them, there are five hard regulations:

First, in terms of clothing, "the crown of clothes is like the Tang system", and a crown and clothing system with Ming Dynasty characteristics and strict grades has been formulated;

Second, in terms of etiquette, the Hu kneeling was abolished, and the traditional etiquette of the Han nationality such as Ji Shou, Pa Shou, empty Shou, and kneeling was restored, and the five bows, four bows, and bows again were implemented according to the rank;

Third, it is strictly forbidden to use the surname Hu in terms of names, and even the compound surnames of the Han people are not allowed to be used casually;

Fourth, in terms of language, Hu language is eliminated, and "Hongwu Zhengyun" is established;

5. In terms of marriage, it is forbidden to accept step-marriages.

The so-called prostration, that is, to bow hands. It can be seen from this etiquette that in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, there was no need to kneel when superior and subordinate officials met. For example, when the Qipin County Commander and the Cabinet Ministers meet each other, they only need to give each other hands.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the need to kneel and bow to the court, listen to the edict, sacrifice, major etiquette, etc., most of the officials performed the first salute, such as when the emperor traveled, the officials also bowed and did not need to kneel.

However, with the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the kneeling ceremony gradually became popular again, and after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it vigorously promoted the kneeling ceremony, so the kneeling ceremony began to become popular

If you don't expect to shake hands like modern people, you can just return to the early years of the Ming Dynasty and bow your hand.

When the generals heard this, they all said yes.

So Li An got up and walked out of the tent, and the generals also walked out of the tent with Li Dingguo.

After leaving the account, Li An instructed: "Liu Zhen, Hu Shundu, you two are responsible for disinfecting fabrics and drinking hot water." Ma Siliang, you go and count the number of plague soldiers and isolate them from the others. Li Sixing and Benwang went to the car to preach the comfort division, and the rest were responsible for the safety of the camp. ”

Ang Lee's personality is vigorous and resolute, doing things without delay, and at the same time being able to arrange things in an orderly manner.

After receiving the order, the generals dispersed.
