Chapter 201: A group of lovely people(1/2)
After Zhao Changqing arrived at the military camp, Xiao Yuming and Zhao Yun were worried that the epidemic would disturb the emperor, so they persuaded him to leave here.
But he was indifferent and said: "I am a land god, and I have the blessing of the emperor's fire in my body. Even the plague can't get close to me."
Although this is true, he is the emperor of the Wei Kingdom after all, the master of a country. If something happens to him, they, the ministers, will die without redemption.
However, they all know Zhao Changqing's temperament and know that once he has an idea, it will be difficult for them to change anything. They can only carefully keep him away from the places where sick people gather in the barracks.
But Zhao Changqing felt that it didn't matter, or even had no fear, so he wandered around the barracks. While wandering, he also told him about the former general under Xiao Yuming's command.
Every time Zhao Changqing got closer to the camp of the sick soldiers, Zhao Yun and others would worry, fearing that they would encounter some irreversible accident, which would be a huge sin!
After Xiao Yuming heard what the emperor said, he immediately clasped his fists and apologized: "Your Majesty, it was Yu Ming who was not strict with his Majesty, which disturbed the Holy Master. Yu Ming apologized to Your Majesty on his behalf.
However, this person has been following the general since Jiangnan Road. He is by no means the kind of general who can surrender to the enemy or spread rumors. This matter is probably true.
They, the rebels, suddenly besieged the city after such a situation occurred in our camp. I am afraid it is definitely not an accident, and they will eventually suspect...suspect that the plague in the military camp has absolutely nothing to do with them."
Zhao Changqing nodded and said: "Whether what Qi Dingyuan said is true or false, I have already sent Jianyi to investigate. I believe that according to his speed, the news will come by the afternoon. It's okay if it's true.
If it is false, then you, the former general, really deserve to be killed!"
If it had been in the past when he wanted to earn fatuous points, he might not have killed him, but today is different from the past. In addition to the fact that these witches turned against thieves, Zhao Changqing did not want to earn fatuous points, but only wanted to kill these hateful people.
Kill all the wizards, leaving no one alive!
If what Qi Dingyuan said is false, then it means that there is a 50% chance that he has surrendered to the enemy.
He said this, and combined with the plague in the barracks, it would easily cause panic among the soldiers and civilians. When the time comes, his position will be in chaos, how can he fight against those rebels?
Xiao Yuming bowed and said: "If what General Qi said is true, then Your Majesty, how should we defend against the rebel attack? At present, the entire barracks is almost enveloped in the panic of the epidemic, and the soldiers' fighting spirit is abnormal.
Downturn, in this case, it will be a bit difficult to defend against 700,000 rebel thieves!"
Zhao Changqing thought for a while and said: "This matter is not urgent. Let's find out the plague first. Even if they come to the city, with me and the sword pavilion masters here, the rebels will not be able to break through the city gate for a while. What's more, I
I don’t believe it. Over time, all my 400,000 troops will be infected with the plague.
Didn’t the military doctor say that this plague is very fast to attack? Waiting for today and tomorrow, all the soldiers who are not sick will be moved outside the city and set up camp outside the city to prepare for war at any time."
If what the former general said is true, then Duanzhou City and Xinzhou City should be left alone, the distance between the battle lines should be shortened, and the enemy would fight to the death.
Xiao Yuming and others thought in their hearts that what His Majesty said should be the most conservative method at present. However, how can His Majesty, with his body of thousands of gold, be able to go to the battlefield in person? This is not the time when His Majesty once served as the eldest prince or King of Qi.
But the Lord of Wei!
How can you take risks out of desperation?
Zhao Yun said: "Your Majesty, how can you go to the battlefield in person? Even if the general and others are all killed in the battlefield, Your Majesty must not be allowed to personally take risks!"
Zhao Changqing didn't want to discuss this topic with them now. He asked about other things, "How many soldiers are sick now? What are the symptoms?"
Xiao Yuming has been paying close attention to this matter. He said: "Your Majesty, the number of infected soldiers has almost reached more than 600. Now not only the soldiers, but also several war horses are vomiting. Most of them are vomiting."
All the soldiers suffered from fever, skin ulcers, and internal and external qi and blood disorders."
Zhao Changqing frowned. Unexpectedly, less than three or four hours had passed since the number of more than 200 people, and the number of sick people had already increased to more than 600. The speed of infection was really too fast.
Suddenly, he thought of something and said: "I just remembered something. Did Zhu Yanxiu solve the plague in Shu? Where is he now?"
Zhao Yun said: "This general has paid attention to it. At present, the plague in Shu has almost been resolved, and when we leave Chang'an, Mr. Zhu should already be on his way back to Chang'an."
Zhao Changqing nodded and said: "He will rush eight hundred miles away from Chang'an to Lingnan. If he dares to delay on the way, I will kill his head!"
By the way, let the factory guards and the Qingqi in the capital work together to protect him, and tell them not to worry about losing their horses. They must get Zhu Yanxiu to Lingnan as quickly as possible, and inform the official stations along the way to let them
Prepare a thousand-mile horse for Zhu Yanxiu and others to drive."
Zhao Yun heard the sound and clasped his fists and said: "General, let's do it now!"
Without further ado, Zhao Yun retreated and went to give instructions on this matter.
Zhao Changqing said to Xiao Yuming again: "Let's go and take me to see the sick soldiers."
When Xiao Yuming heard this, he was shocked. As a loyal minister, how could he let the monarch go to such a place? Once something happened, not only would he be infamy for thousands of years, but the entire Wei Kingdom would also be plunged into eternal disaster.
What a situation!
Your Majesty must not be allowed to go down!
"Your Majesty, this is a plague! Please forgive me for not allowing you to visit those soldiers who are already sick!" He had never spoken to Zhao Changqing in this tone before. As soon as he finished speaking this time, his whole body was filled with excitement.
I feel bad, and my state of mind is thrilling!
Zhao Changqing snorted coldly and said: "What? You dare to disobey me? Those soldiers lying on the hospital bed are all good men who entrusted their lives to me!
I didn't let them die on the battlefield, but let them lie on the hospital bed and suffer. How can you make me feel better?
I have made up my mind, if you dare to persuade me again, I will cut you into pieces!"
Of course, this is what Zhao Changqing said, although when he was earning mediocre points, he thought about killing him.
Xiao Yuming unexpectedly twisted up. He knelt down on one knee, and all the generals behind him knelt down at the same time. He was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, if you insist on visiting, you can remove the body from the last general's body."
Step over!"
The rest of the kneeling generals all said this.
Zhao Changqing looked at their kneeling expressions, helpless, and said: "Okay, one by one, I don't dare to kill you, right?"
When all the soldiers were looking at each other, a military doctor suddenly came over and saw all the generals kneeling. When he looked at the man in the dragon robe, he knew that the emperor was coming, so he knelt down immediately.
Then he said: "Wei Chen has met Your Majesty!"
Zhao Changqing looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?"
The military doctor looked a little panicked. He didn't know whether it was because he saw Zhao Changqing was too powerful or something else. In short, he felt a little stuttered when he spoke, "Your Majesty, something big...is bad. This plague...has already happened."
.There has been a situation of dead people.”
Zhao Changqing was shocked. Is this disease really that serious?
He quickly asked: "How many people died?"
The military doctor swallowed his saliva and replied: "Your Majesty, a soldier died, a cook."
Zhao Changqing looked at the generals and said: "There are already dead people, do you still want to stop me?"
Xiao Yuming took the risk and planned to break the jar and said: "Your Majesty, just because someone is dead, you can't go."
How long has it been since this happened and he is still talking like this?
Zhao Changqing was a little angry. Just when he was about to get angry, he saw another military doctor. Regardless of the soldiers' obstruction, he shouted something loudly outside the human wall protecting him.
Zhao Changqing noticed this scene and frowned. Apparently, he did not understand and was unhappy with the military doctor's actions.
Shouldn't he be busy in the hospital camp at this time?
How would it appear here?
"Let him in." Zhao Changqing said.
The soldiers protecting the emperor, after seeing His Majesty's words, made way for the military doctor to enter.
When he came to the emperor, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have roughly found out the cause of the disease."
Hearing the news, Zhao Changqing was a little relieved and asked: "Don't be anxious, tell me slowly, what's going on?"
The military doctor replied: "After hundreds of people fell ill last night, General Mo collected the feces of a sick soldier and found that there were clues in the color of the feces. After careful decomposition by Wei Chen, he conducted various experiments on animals and found that
, there is a poison on this feces, which can be quickly absorbed by living creatures, and then wreak havoc on the internal organs of living creatures.
Wei Chen also used a relatively bloody dissection method to find this point. It can be said that the soldiers fell ill collectively and the disease was so severe because of the poison in the feces."
"Poison? Germs?" Zhao Changqing murmured in his heart, and then said: "Tell me, what specifically allows these poisons to infect soldiers?"
The military doctor said: "Reporting to your Majesty, I guess it is because someone accidentally ingested or came into contact with this poison, which allowed it to spread rapidly among people and then achieve the purpose of infecting others."
Zhao Changqing finally understood, and he said: "What you mean is that the birth of this plague was probably because some soldiers ate something they shouldn't have eaten, and then this poison got into the human body with the help of food.
, got spread?”
The military doctor nodded and said: "Your Majesty, according to the current situation, it is easiest for this poison to be quickly transmitted overnight through diet. However, this poison is colorless and odorless, and is difficult to detect with the naked eye.
Seeing the clues, it would be difficult to find the cause if Weichen hadn't used living animals for experiments, but even if we found it, it would be difficult to prescribe the right medicine."
After Zhao Changqing heard the sound, he looked at Xiao Yuming and said, "What do the soldiers eat on weekdays?"
Xiao Yuming said: "Your Majesty, these are just some ordinary and extremely ordinary ingredients!"
Zhao Changqing snorted again and said to the military doctor who came for the first time: "You just said that the soldier who died was a cook?"
The military doctor nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the cook soldier's name is Da Zhuang. It is said that he has been the leader of the army for many years."
Zhao Changqing said with a stern expression: "Call all the scouts among the generals! No one is allowed to run away, I want to ask them personally!"
Soon, the soldiers under their command went to deal with this matter, and they called all the scouts here.
Zhao Changqing saw each of them kneeling on the ground, not daring to speak, and his body was trembling, and then said: "You don't have to panic, I just want to ask you, what did you cook for the soldiers yesterday?"
Someone stood up and answered truthfully.
Zhao Changqing felt that there was nothing unusual, and asked: "Do you have any clues about where you buy ingredients on weekdays? Or, are you carefully checking the food you buy from outside?"
A cook soldier replied: "Your Majesty, the purchase of ingredients is all done by Brother Da Zhuang. He has been a military doctor for several years and can distinguish the quality of meat and whether there are problems with the ingredients, etc... However, it is
