Chapter 70: Promoted Again (Seeking a New Chapter)

Seeing Wanli's great joy, Li Xianzhong hurriedly handed over a small refined medicine box to the attendant.

The box itself is made of precious agarwood, with a faint fragrance that makes people feel refreshed when they smell it.

Wanli was really attracted by this aroma, and he quickly asked the chamberlain to open the box to see what kind of miraculous prescription it contained.

The waiter slowly opened the medicine box, only to see that the road of the box was covered with a yellow brocade lining, and inside were small medicine bags with exquisite workmanship.

Wanli curiously picked up one of them, which was embroidered with four exquisite characters of longevity without borders.

He even approached the medicine bag and sniffed it, and then said: "Aiqing has a heart, can soaking your feet with this medicine bag every day really prolong your life?" ”

Li Xianzhong said: "The family teacher soaks his feet with this medicine bag every day, and he is still strong at the age of 100. ”

"However, the tutor also said that you need to walk around every day and bask in the sun to make the medicine more effective. In addition, after soaking the feet, someone needs to massage His Majesty's Neiguan acupoint, Xinyu acupoint, and Jiyin Yu acupoint to make the medicinal power work. ”

These medicine bags were made by Li Xianzhong overnight using cinnamon branches, safflower, chicken blood vine, papaya, aconite, and tendon grass.

Just decoction of the liquid medicine according to the conventional method, wait for the water to warm up and carry out foot bath treatment, and soak a column of incense once a day before going to bed.

It can alleviate the symptoms of Wanli's heart failure, and it also has a certain healing effect on his swollen feet.

As for letting him walk around every day, as well as basking in the sun, it's because Wanli is an otaku and barely exercises.

It is estimated that the daily fixed trip is to go from his own Qianqing Palace to Zheng Guifei's Yikun Palace, and he is also carried there.

He doesn't exercise every day, and no matter how good the doctor's medical skills are, he can't cure his illness.

Wanli's heart failure should have been attacked several times, and it is recorded in the history books that he almost didn't survive once, so it should have been very serious.

In this era, it is impossible to have heart surgery, and it is impossible to completely cure it, but if he can insist on exercising every day, combined with the foot bath and massage of this medicine bag, as long as he is not greatly stimulated, it is possible for him to live for a few more years.

As for how many years he can live, Li Xianzhong himself is not sure.

Sure enough, after Li Xianzhong's boasting, Wanli wanted to try it on the spot, so Li Xianzhong told Chang Yun the method of decoction and massage, and soon these medicines were taken to decoction.

At this moment, Wanli was in a good mood, and Chang Yun on the side also admired Li Xianzhong's flattering methods.

He even had to embroider the words "Longevity Without Borders" on a medicine bag to please Wanli, and this thought really made him, a slave who had served the emperor for most of his life, sigh to himself.

Wanli asked with some expectation: "What is Li Aiqing's other gift?" ”

Soon the chamberlain opened another brocade box, which contained a Dongzhu slightly smaller than an egg.

At the beginning, Li Sanshun seized two of the best Dongzhu in Gule Village, one was sold to Cheng Guogong in Mianyue Tower, and the other was naturally given to Wanli's favorite Zheng Guifei.

This gift is exquisite, if Li Xianzhong dedicates Dongzhu to Zheng Guifei through Zheng Yangxing or Cui Wensheng, it is just making wedding clothes for others.

Only by dedicating it to Wanli and letting Wanli transfer it to Concubine Zheng Guifei will achieve the best effect, so that both of them will remember their own good.

Wanli was overjoyed when he saw this East Pearl.

Because the Dongzhu he rewarded to Concubine Zheng yesterday was obviously not as good as the one in front of him.

Wanli even said a few "good" words.

Li Xianzhong said: "The pearl is worthy of beauty, and only the graceful and luxurious temperament of the concubine can be worthy of this pearl." ”

Wanli said: "Come on, hurry up and send this pearl to Yikun Palace!" ”

It is said that this Wanli loves Concubine Zheng, and it is really worthy of the name when I see it today, I am afraid that His Majesty is also a "tracheitis".

Li Xianzhong's performance made Wanli very satisfied, if every courtier could be like Li Xianzhong, think about what the monarch thinks, and be anxious about what the monarch is anxious about.

Why does he stop at being angry with them every day?

This Ming officialdom is gloomy, and these old guys know every day that they are staring at their own insides, and it seems that it is time to replenish fresh blood.

However, Wanli was most concerned about Jianyu's situation, and he asked: "What is the actual combat strength of Jianyu, I have to listen to the truth." ”

The smile on Li Xianzhong's face gradually disappeared, and he said solemnly: "Before this battle, there were a total of 310 Niulu in the Eight Banners of Jianzhou, and according to the calculation of about 300 people in each Niulu, there were no less than 60,000 soldiers. ”

"The soldiers of the Jianyu were all armoured, and the most elite of them, known as the White Swing Tooth La, all wore iron armor, and even double armor and triple armor, about 5,000 in number."

"If you count the auxiliaries, the strength of the Jianyu must exceed 100,000."

Wanli gasped and said: "In this way, the strength of the Jianyu in this war is still above my Ming Dynasty, so isn't Yang Hao's soldiers divided into four ways to kill themselves?" ”

Li Xianzhong really wanted to say something in his heart: Your Majesty Shengming!

But at this time, he didn't want to step on Yang Ho anymore, and said: "The road near Hetuara is narrow, and the large army cannot be deployed, and in addition, my Ming army belongs to different roads, and if the unified command will also cause a big problem, Yang Jingluo's four-way march also has a certain reason." ”

"But the combat power of my ordinary Ming army is indeed inferior to that of the Eight Banners, and only the elite of the generals can match it, and it is not a good strategy to go to the field."

Wanli pondered for a moment and said, "Then how is the combat power of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry in your hand compared to the Eight Banners of Jianyu?" ”

Li Xianzhong said: "The Liaodong Iron Cavalry can compete with the most elite Bai Swing Tooth Lama in Jianyu, but unfortunately my Liaodong Iron Cavalry has lost most of it in this battle, and it is no longer able to fight." ”

When he heard the words "unable to fight again", Wanli felt a little lost.

So he said: "Li Aiqing rest assured, I will order the military department to give priority to the Liaodong Iron Cavalry to replenish the equipment of the soldiers." ”

At this time, Li Xianzhong knelt down on one knee and said: "The last general will thank Your Majesty Longen, and I must pay close attention to training and restore the combat strength of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry as soon as possible." ”

Wanli is not completely ignorant of soldiers, after all, he also won the victory of the "Wanli Three Great Expeditions" in his hands.

The two chatted for a long time, from the equipment of the Ming army to the situation of Jianzhou.

Wanli felt that the Jianzhou Jurchen he had known before had been completely overthrown.

When he heard that Jianzhou now counts Baoyi, and the population has reached one million, he was also taken aback.

But fortunately, now the Eight Banners have lost more than 20,000 soldiers, a loss of one-third.

Li Xianzhong told Wanli categorically that he killed more than 20,000 people in Jianzhou's headquarters in this battle, and the loss of the clothed slaves was almost 40,000 or 50,000, and Jianzhou must be short of food this year.

Therefore, this year's war will definitely restart, and there is a high probability that Jianzhou will attack the original road first and cut off the connection between Daming and Yehedi.

Wanli also understands the pressure that Li Xianzhong is facing now, this kid is really very appetizing for himself.

So His Majesty was happy, and directly promoted Li Xianzhong to the chief military officer of Kaiyuan, the right governor of the Chinese military governor's office, and the two roads of Kaiyuan and Tieling.

Sure enough, these gifts were not prepared in vain, and Li Xianzhong hurriedly knelt down and thanked the emperor excitedly!

Before he knew it, it was already time to eat, and Wanli stayed directly in the Qianqing Palace.

At this time, the waiter outside the door shouted: "Concubine Zheng Guifei has arrived!" ”
