Chapter 383: If Not Strong Enough
These days, Chu Fan has cared more for Zhang Yutong, since the last time Wanli threatened Chu Fan's family, he cherished the people around him even more, he realized that if he was not strong enough, the people he loved could be affected at any time, so he loved the people in front of him even more.
"Yu Tong, why are your hands so cold?"
"Alas, I don't know what's going on recently, before the menstrual incident, I had pain in my lower abdomen, cold hands and feet, and no blood on my face, but it's okay, Xianggong, you are busy with major events in the world, and I will take care of the affairs at home." Zhang Yutong said, and his voice was lowered.
In fact, of course, she hoped to get her husband's care and love, but she couldn't bear Chu Fan to be distracted by her busy schedule and work hard in vain.
"Have you seen the doctor?"
"After reading it, the doctor said that the blood was not smooth, and he prescribed a few prescriptions, but after drinking it, it had no effect."
Chu Fan knew that in this dynasty, women have menstrual cramps, and Chinese medicine is nothing more than prescribing a few prescriptions to invigorate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, which is to help women clean up their periods, and the rest of the diseases cannot be treated.
Now seeing that Zhang Yutong's hands and feet are cold, his face is pale, and the pain of menstruation, it should not be a simple menstrual cramp.
Speaking of which, go, Madame to your house.
"Huh? Xianggong, this is broad daylight? Just, just go back to your room? β
"Hahaha, no, no, madam, you misunderstood, I was helping you see a doctor, what did you think?"
Zhang Yutong's face instantly turned red like Guan Gong, he stomped his feet, gave a roll of his eyes, but took Chu Fan's hand and went back to the room.
Chu Fan helped Zhang Yutong to lie down on the bed, and gently pressed this Zhang Yutong's lower abdomen with his hand: "Does it hurt here?" β
"Go up a little bit, yes, yes, it hurts here."
"It hurts when you press it? Or does it hurt if you don't press it? β
"It hurts if you don't press it, but it doesn't hurt all the time, or it hurts after a while."
Chu Fan stood up, paced two steps, and thought secretly: If you don't press it, it hurts, for a while? Primary?
It stands to reason that the drugs that invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis have been taken several times, and it will not be uterine contraction dysmenorrhea caused by poor endometrial stripping, then it is likely to be another cause - tumor. In the uterus, the most common is uterine fibroids, benign ones can be operated, and malignant ones are often called uterine cancer.
Zhang Yutong is just in his twenties, and he has only given birth to one child, so it stands to reason that the probability of uterine fibroids is not very high, but it was Chu Fan who had a caesarean section at that time, after all, Chu Fan was also the first time to have this kind of operation, whether it would be sequelae, he couldn't say.
But there is no B-ultrasound or X-ray or anything now, and there is no way to check it, so let's wait and see, and then figure out a way later.
In the past few days, the company's business is going very well, the first dividend will be distributed at the end of the month, Chu Fan has already made a plan with Shen Wei to issue additional shares, and the newly issued tradable shares will be sold at a price of three and a half per share, if it goes well, the second additional issuance will be three months later, at that time, the company's net assets will reach about three million taels, and the cash silver in Chu Fan's hands will reach about two million taels, and then send troops to North Korea, basically it can be said that it is a sure victory, after all, there are not many others in China, and the population is definitely a lot, as long as you have money, Forming a new army is a matter of minutes.
However, the people of Cibo refused to wait for Chu Fan.
On this day, the front-line war report once again put Wanli Qi straight to his feet, that's right, Tie Lin was also defeated, and this time it was very miserable, the 20,000 Ming troops and 40,000 Korean troops stationed in Pyongyang were wiped out at one time, the Korean royal family completely surrendered to the second wave country, Tie Lin was killed by the second wave of military fire on the way to retreat, and the remaining more than 2,000 people fled back to Liaodong with Cha Dashou.
Immediately after that, the people of the second wave were not idle, in order to avenge the previous battle of Pyongyang, Konishi Yukichang went deep alone, with 30,000 times the wave army closely pursued the remnants of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, all the way to the base camp of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, took away the handsome seal in the camp, killed more than 2,000 firehead soldiers, robbed shops and people, and lost as much as 10,000 taels of silver, Cha Da was seriously injured, and escaped from the siege with his subordinates, and asked Li Rusong, the commander of Liaoshen and Shenyang, for help, and waited for Li Rusong to bring troops to support, and then Li Rusong led the troops to support, and left the words that he would bring troops to fight another day, A revenge for the previous wars.
After all, for more than 200 years, the children and grandchildren of Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang, although there have not been a few outstanding talents, but they have basically fulfilled their mission, defending the country, playing Ryukyu and beating Mongolia, the Ming Dynasty is still a god-like existence at least in East Asia and Southeast Asia. Even the most unreliable carpenter emperor was not so humiliated by the surrounding small states
Pass.
However, in the Wanli Dynasty, it was just in time for the rise of the shogunate of the second wave country, the historical process of great unification, which doubled the strength of the second wave country with unprecedented unity, not to mention North Korea, that is, the Ming Dynasty, which was a little caught off guard by the sudden rise of this neighbor.
The unlucky Wanli, 100,000 taels of silver was lost again, and I didn't even hear a sound, not to mention the loss of North Korea, and almost lost Liaodong, this is a big event for the ancestors and ancestors, and I can't help but let Wanli jump to his feet.
However, this group of people in the military department never thought about the bad consequences caused by their change of commander on the spot, let alone how serious the result was caused by their negligence in the military attachΓ©, and they blamed all the problems on the lack of money.
We said at least 600,000 yuan, but the emperor agreed that Chu Fan sent us away with 100,000 yuan, and now North Korea has lost it, and Liaodong has almost lost it, so it's really no wonder to us.
The top priority now is to immediately organize forces and establish a defense system in Liaodong, the total number of 400,000 troops of the Cibo State plus the rebellious Korean army is definitely not less than 450,000, and at present the 10,000 defenders in the northeast of Liaodong can defend Liaodong, except for the 10,000 people of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry who ran away with Cha Dashou.
12,000 people, to defend the opponent's more than 400,000 people, this is not looking for death, this is sending death.
Who do you want money? Of course, he is the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, Mr. Chu Fan.
Poor Mr. Chu Fan, since he came to this world, he has either fought or made money, but today, the enemy who ran away has returned, and the money earned is not enough to fill the bottomless pit of the Korean War, it can be said that all the efforts have been wasted by this group of fools in the Ministry of War.
If it is said that Wanli was on Chu Fan's side last time, it was because after all, it was the land of North Korea that was lost, although it was a little itchy, but it didn't hurt, although it was dangerous, but in the final analysis, it can be said that the North Koreans were too weak.
But this time it's different, it's directly on Wanli's neck, disgusting to open the door to disgusting - disgusting to home.
If Liaodong is not guarded again, the entire Northeast will be in danger, and in ancient times, when every inch of land was contested, this was a serious problem for the country, and it had risen to the dignity of the emperor and the rise and fall of the country. Yes, Chu Fan was called to the palace again.
Brother Wanli was not verbose, just one sentence: "Chu Fan, it's not okay not to give money this time, 500,000 taels, you must give, don't tell me those truths, nothing is as important as the country's land, you today."
If you don't give, you will give, and if you give, you will give.
The emperor, at most 200,000 taels, is really gone, and there are fifteen days to pay dividends, whether shareholders can get dividends determines the success or failure of the entire stock project, represents the integrity of the stock, and represents the credibility of the imperial court.
"Your Majesty, we must not do the work of killing chickens and taking eggs!" Chu Fan knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
"If you don't give it, Liaodong will be ruined, Chu Fan, you can think clearly."
"Your Majesty, if the first dividend is not distributed, we will lose our trust in the world, the company's stock may collapse, the consequences are unimaginable, there is no chance for reform, no reform, our Celestial Empire may never have a chance to turn over, sooner or later in the future, because of lack of money, obediently let Liaodong and even more places out, if the soldiers really come to the city, I am afraid that the emperor will accept the other party's more excessive requests, Your Majesty, you can think about the consequences.
Wanli went back and forth in the study more than 30 times, and said softly: "200,000 is 200,000, hey!" β
It is no wonder that Wanli sighed, the Ming Dynasty began to build the country from Zhu Yuanzhang, gradually prospered from Zhu Di's hands, and passed to Wanli after more than two hundred years, the huge empire has lost its former vitality, all kinds of political shortcomings have exploded in recent decades, the surrounding provocations are frequent, the internal peasant uprisings are frequent, the imperial court is not peaceful all day long, and the economic and social development has also been greatly impacted, and the financial revenue is getting worse. I can't wait to stop the salaries of officials across the country.
Now it's very helpless, what Chu Fan said is very reasonable, the long pain is better than the short pain, the reform must be adhered to, once the success falls short, the empire will no longer have a chance to turn over, and can only watch the building collapse.
This time, the military department learned to be obedient and did not change the commander, because the Liaodong Iron Cavalry was completely gone, and there was no need to change. Simply hand over the most important task to the most reliable person, and 200,000 taels of silver were quickly allocated to Li Rusong.
As the first defense chief of Northeast China, Li Rusong only supervised the attack on North Korea and was not responsible, but if the enemy came in, he would still be responsible.
The second wave of troops drove to the border between China and North Korea, and hundreds of thousands of troops divided into four routes to besiege Liaodong.
When the war was about to break out, on the city wall, Chu Fan was looking out and pointing fingers.
Others don't know Chu Fan, but Konishi Xingchang and Konishi Fei are very familiar with each other, and as soon as they saw Chu Fan commanding the operation, the second wave army, which had already started the offensive, was suddenly stopped, and the whole army retreated ten miles.
Governor Konishi was frightened by Chu Fan, and he really couldn't eliminate the fear in his heart, so that Chu Fan didn't say anything, didn't do anything, and just stood on the city tower, and scared off hundreds of thousands of Polish troops.
Of course, it is very likely that the people of the second wave country did not read the Three Kingdoms carefully, or that there is no empty city plan in the second wave version of the Three Kingdoms.
In fact, there were really no soldiers in the city, and the defense army led by Li Rusong was only more than 10,000 people, and it was impossible to withstand the strong attack of the second wave army.
Moreover, there is no Chu Fan on the city wall, but Li Rusong found a soldier who looks very similar to Chu Fan and pretended to be, although it is not vivid, but after all, it is far away, and then put on the armor of the general soldier, it is really impossible to distinguish the real from the fake.
Li Rusong is also out of line, although the appropriation of the imperial court has come down, but it will take a certain amount of time to train the troops, even if the soldiers are recruited soon, they must be trained, otherwise they will not give the enemy their heads in vain.
Because Chu Fan's deterrent power was too great, President Konishi's hesitation hesitated for more than half a month, and finally gave Li Rusong a time to prepare.
In the end, he was a battle-hardened general, and soon Li Rusong cultivated an army from the northeast and pulled it to the Sino-North Korean border, and the total number of Ming troops reached nearly 100,000.
On this day, Governor Konishi finally got tired of waiting and sent two brigades to attack the city wall separately, and Li Rusong resisted stubbornly and repelled the attack of the second wave army.
But this stubborn resistance completely betrayed itself.
Konishi Yukichang took a look, this is not right, this is not Chu Fan's routine, when did Chu Fan play a strong attack? When will the second wave army be able to withdraw intact? No, that's not Chu Fan, that's not Chu Fan's style.
Captain Konishi, who shouted that he was fooled, slapped his thigh and scolded: "Cunning and cunning, give it to me, and the whole army will assault." β
400,000 times the Polish army began to charge the city wall regardless of life or death, and Li Rusong, who can fight well, is not a vegetarian, carrying a big knife to supervise the battle back and forth on the city wall: "Those who retreat will be killed!" β
100,000 Ming troops desperately resisted, the enemy rushed to the city wall again and again, and was beaten down by the Ming army again and again, the second wave army just took the ladder, the Ming army poured hot oil downward, threw stones, the battle was extremely fierce, the whole two days and two nights, the fight continued, but let the second wave army how to fight, Li Rusong here stood still, stubbornly resisted, but after all, the enemy was outnumbered, in the morning of the third day, the Ming army really could not support, after all, the people on the wall have been fighting, but the second wave army under the wall still has a chance to take turns to change shifts and breathe.
Li Rusong also complained bitterly, if he continued to fight like this, he would collapse sooner or later, but Li Rusong made a bold decision and took the initiative to attack.
The city gate was suddenly opened, only to see a person wearing red armor, wearing a copper-colored iron hat, two ears of red tassels fluttering in the wind, with a team of troops rushed out to kill, the person who rushed to the battle brandished a big knife, the knife fell, a second wave of officers immediately fell to the ground, I have to say that Li Rusong's combat effectiveness is strong, rare in the world, killing into the enemy army as if entering no one's land, for a time frightened Konishi Yuki Chang retreated backwards, the internal chaos formation of the second wave army was rushed to pieces, Li Rusong passed like the autumn wind swept the leaves, forced to kill a bloody road in the second wave army, After killing thousands of Polish troops, he ran towards the camp behind him.
But soon, the second wave army found that the Ming army that rushed into the rear camp raised no more than 10,000 troops, although brave, but the rear strength was insufficient.
I saw that Li Rusong killed seven or eight back and forth in the camp of the second wave army, although he was extremely brave and killed nearly 10,000 people, but the speed gradually slowed down, after all, even if people have a breath, they can still be strong
Hold on, but the horse can't run anymore.
The cavalry rushed into battle, relying on speed and strength, with fast and fierce attack force, and the fight was taken by surprise, but the second wave army really had a very strict sense of discipline and execution, and the formation was dispersed, and it was soon organized again, and for seven or eight consecutive times, Li Rusong did not achieve the purpose of completely breaking down the formation, and the follow-up infantry followed up the attack.
Seeing that his physical strength was exhausted, Li Rusong turned his horse and retreated to the city, and when Governor Konishi saw that Li Rusong was about to enter the city, he immediately commanded the infantry to strengthen the offensive at the city gate, and more than 10,000 Polish troops rushed to the city gate, not to mention killing back, even if they ran back, they also wanted to let this group of people block outside the gate.
Helplessly, Li Rusong turned his head to the enemy camp to kill the generals, the back road was blocked, so he could only continue to rush, along the way through thorns and thorns, and the people of the second wave fought for their lives, the soldiers followed Li Rusong, did not flinch, with the mentality of killing one to earn one, killing two to earn a pair, until exhausted, blood stained the battlefield.
And the second wave of the army gradually began to encircle, the encirclement is getting smaller and smaller, Li Rusong saw that he was invincible, and he wanted to break through again, but he was sealed again and again, and there was no chance to rush out.
In this way, more than 10,000 elite cavalry, surrounded by the second wave army, were consumed little by little, and Li Rusong, who was sleepy and lacking horses, was still desperately resisting until the last person Li Rusong was surrounded by the second wave army and was poked to death by a spear on horseback.
Governor Konishi waved his hand, not caring about the loss just now, and continued to order to intensify the offensive against the city walls.
Adjutant General Zha Dashou still led his troops to hold on to the city wall.
However, the Ming army really couldn't support it, and it didn't close its eyes for nearly three days, and the main general failed to charge the battle again and died in the enemy camp, and now there is no backup to wait for.
Zha Dashou saw that Li Rusong was gone and never returned, knowing that there was more than one bad luck, this military general who had experienced a hundred battles and served the Li family all his life, did not have any intention of retreating at this moment, lifted a jar of wine, drank it wildly, threw the wine jar down the city wall, and drank: "Brothers, hold on, people are in the city, people are dead in the city, don't retreat, resist me, fight to the death." β
Encouraged by Cha Dashou, the whole army launched a counterattack again, in order to prevent the enemy from climbing the city wall, everything that can be thrown has been thrown down, even the rations have been thrown down, the Ming army is clearly going to be desperate, and the second wave army is very manic, has been attacking more than once, to the end, there is no need for a ladder, the corpses under the city wall and various throwables have been piled up on a slope, and the follow-up soldiers only need to run up to the city wall.
A large number of second-wave troops climbed the city wall, and the Ming army fought in one place, under the hand-to-hand combat, people kept falling into the inner city, the scene was tragic, the picture was bloody, beyond words.
In the end, none of the Ming troops escaped, and these soldiers, with the last of their strength, ignited the Franco-cannon and aimed it at the enemy in front of them, and with the sound of explosions, countless artillery and the enemy died together on the narrow city wall.
This was the most tragic battle since the start of the war between China and Japan.
In this battle, the casualties of the second Polish army were also very heavy, with nearly 100,000 dead and wounded in the siege troops and nearly 40,000 dead and wounded in the large battalion troops, and the losses were all elite troops.
On the side of the Ming army, the main general Li Rusong and the deputy general Zha Dashou were both killed in battle, losing more than 13,000 elite cavalry and nearly 80,000 defenders of the city wall.
100,000 soldiers died on this city wall, and the second wave army finally broke the city.
