Chapter 156: The side of the couch
Their group of 10,000 recruits was scattered and sent to the four disaster-stricken cities, and the three princesses were only separated from the three of them, and then they arrived at Fengxuan City.
By the time they arrived, the water in Fengxuan City had receded, but the city was in shambles, with collapsed houses, people and livestock that had been drowned and stoned to death, clothes and furniture floating everywhere, and yellow mud from the flood on the road, and there was not even a place to dry your feet.
The third princess is also facing a natural disaster for the first time, looking at the people who hugged each other and cried bitterly, and the people who didn't have time to bury and die, she had a nightmare for the first time, and before she could recover from it, tasks followed.
The 1,000 men were divided into two teams, one to clean up the garbage, the other to help the people, temporarily relocate them to a safe place, and then gather the bodies and burn and bury them.
The three princesses and the three female soldiers were assigned to clean up the garbage, and every day they came into contact with either dead corpses or rotting poultry, and the smell of rancid meat always lingered under their noses, and the amount of food was reduced.
After half of the city was cleared, the officials of the government began to mobilize the people, digging up everything they could eat from the rubble, and then began to clean up the remaining half of the city little by little.
During this period, one of the people did not bury the poultry according to the order, but cooked the meat in private, and as a result, the family of seven began to vomit and diarrhea, and within three days, the family collapsed and died, and his own life hung by a thread.
The female official of the government was still very brainy, and immediately asked the medical officer to hang his life, and when he sobered up, he asked the reason, only to know that it was the rotten poultry that caused the trouble, and since he would do this, it is estimated that other people will do the same.
In the eyes of the people, as long as the rotten parts are cut off, the remaining meat can still be eaten, not to mention that they can't eat the soil before the relief food arrives!
Immediately, the plague in Fengxuan City broke out in an all-round way, and for a time not only the people, but also the soldiers did not escape this catastrophe, but fortunately, there were imperial doctors and healers stationed in the city, and they immediately arranged manpower to separate the people who were in physical condition from those who had no symptoms, and then boiled the right medicine for the symptoms, and began to smoke the medicine all over the city.
Because the three princesses paid attention to protection, they were the second batch to be infected, and the disease was not the most serious, and because of her special status, it can be said that she used the only best medicine left in the city, so she was able to survive until now.
"The third princess had a high fever before, and now the fever has subsided, but people are still a little confused, they wake up from time to time, and when they are awake, we feed her rice porridge and decoction, and the situation has improved."
"Okay, I've worked hard for you, I guess you haven't had a good rest recently, go get some food first, and then take a prepared medicine bag to cook soup and drink medicine, you also have to take care of your health, the three princesses need you by their side."
When Xian Shijun learned that his daughter had passed the most dangerous time, his heart was half relieved, and he immediately let the three of them rest.
The three guards didn't refuse, they didn't leave because they didn't have someone they trusted, but now that the virtuous servant is here, he will definitely take care of his daughters, and they can be regarded as a successful retirement.
The virtuous servant stayed in the tent to take care of the three princesses, and it was not until the sun sank that the three princesses woke up, and with great difficulty opened their eyes, they saw their father, and she felt as if she were dreaming.
Xian Shijun also found that his daughter was awake, and immediately held the hand of the place, and the other hand covered the other party's forehead, and said softly:
"But better? Still feel uncomfortable? Would you like some water? ”
"Father, I'm not dreaming! How did you end up here? ”
"Knowing that something happened to you, the empress was very worried about you, so she directly asked me to bring people and medicinal herbs to Fengxuan City to find you."
"I thought you didn't want me anymore"
The third princess cried very unproductively, and made the virtuous servant laugh, and then he said solemnly:
"Now you know what's going on out there, right? If it weren't for the guards secretly arranged by your mother, do you think you would still be alive until now? ”
The virtuous servant nodded the forehead of the third princess, and counted her with some hatred that iron is not steel.
"I see! I will never do such a stupid thing again, and when I left the capital this time, I realized that it was not easy for the people."
On the day that the virtuous servant entered Fengxuan City, the generals of the Zhao family learned about it, and the general of the Zhao family had a gloomy face, she felt that someone must have secretly set them up, and the three princesses were just a raft to trap them.
"General, look at the present"
"Send a message to the second princess in the capital, tell her about the situation here, so that she can be prepared, and send another imperial doctor with high medical skills to Fengxuan City, and the third princess must not have any mistakes!
The Third Empress is the Empress's favorite daughter, and if something happens to her in the team we lead, the Empress will definitely not spare us, and will even affect the Second Empress. ”
"Yes, my subordinates will do it."
Panlong Country
The six princes who succeeded to the throne for half a year, at this time they learned that there was a flood in Fengqi country, he had some ideas, the lost five cities were a thorn in his heart, and he felt aggrieved when he thought about it, before there was no silver money to fight, and now there was a flood in Fengqi country, and he felt that the time had come for them to make a move.
On the morning of the second day, he couldn't wait to share the news with the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.
Zhang Zhang was the most discerning, and immediately stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, this is our best chance to get back those five cities! Chen thinks that we don't need to fight hard this time, we can use the flood in Fengqi Country to make a fuss. ”
"Surrendering without a fight, this is the best policy!"
Immediately a military attache jumped out.
My white-haired old man also stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, there will be a great epidemic after a general catastrophe, medicinal materials and food are the most scarce things, we can use these to earn silver from Fengqi Country and expand the treasury."
"What Aiqing said is reasonable, what else can I do?"
The new emperor continued to ask.
"Among the five cities occupied by the Fengqi Kingdom, there are still our people, one of which has been affected by the flood, we can let them incite the people to clash with the defenders of the city, and then we should join forces with the outside and take the city first."
"If there is a plague in the city, the risk is too high."
Immediately, some generals were unwilling, and these civil servants touched their mouths up and down, and it was their soldiers who charged into battle, and they were not willing to let their men go down to die.
"The plague infected people are killed directly, those women are not willing to submit to us, do you still want us to keep them?"
A pedantic minister said.
"Well, what Aiqing said is reasonable, we have to plan well, and take it slowly step by step."
The new emperor squinted his eyes and said.
On the other side, the second princess also received a flying eagle message from General Zhao, and learned that the third princess was infected with the plague and was trapped in Fengxuan City, and the virtuous servant had rushed to Fengxuan City.
