Fortunately, the miraculous doctor Shi was at Yanxi Pass;
Fortunately, the general guarding Yanxi Pass recognized Doctor Shi;
Fortunately, Divine Doctor Shi helped His Royal Highness to kill one alive and one person in Yingzhou. With just one glance, he could tell what kind of disease the soldiers were infected with. He had a way to treat it, and he also knew how to safely kill one person who was alive and dead.
It's just that there was a certain amount of time between the two, but there were still heavy casualties. Oh, no, there were no injuries at all, only death.
The so-called 'epidemic' caused by one person alive and one person dead cannot be cured even by miraculous doctors. They can only...
It's quite like a virus in a zombie movie. Once you catch it, it has only one outcome.
It was another month before the capital received the news from Yanxi Pass. The emperor, who was holding the battle certificate, was silent for a long time, with expressions of sadness on his face.
After a long time, he handed the Zhan Zhi to Jun Chenyuan who was standing aside.
Jun Chenyuan saw the same solemn expression.
When Qi Bao'er took it and took a look, his pupils shrank sharply.
——In less than ten days, the death toll at Yanxi Pass reached nearly 60,000.
There are only 150,000 garrison troops at Yanxi Pass. Naturally, among these 60,000 men, it is impossible for all of them to be garrison troops at Yanxi Pass. In addition to the reinforcements sent to support, there should be many civilians.
Looking further down, sure enough, the details of the compromise clearly show that nearly 20,000 people were killed by the Yanxi Pass guarding army, more than 7,000 people were killed by the Zhenxi Army who rushed to support, and the rest were all civilians from the villages around Yanxi Pass.
.
In other words, all the villages around Yanxi Pass were ‘slaughtered’.
Qibaoer closed the fold and passed it to the next person.
The people who entered the imperial study room to discuss matters were all important figures in the court. She was already the lowest ranking person present. Standing next to her was a military commander of the same rank as her.
Military generals hate to see their own people being bullied and slaughtered by other countries. Qi Baoer could predict how General Rong would react.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, General Rong, who had only one arm, no longer cared that this was the royal study room and roared angrily: "It's too much to bully others. The small country of Gaochang has simply gone too far to bully others."
Everyone present had read the contents of the brochure. At this time, even the civil servants who always put etiquette first did not find General Rong an eyesore. On the contrary, some of them resented themselves for not having the courage to scold him on the spot like General Rong.
How you fight in the officialdom is your own business, but if you, an outsider, want to bully the people of Qilin Kingdom, that's not allowed.
This is the key reason why the Qilin Kingdom is still in its heyday after more than 300 years. Each of the officials has their own selfish motives, but they all protect the country.
To put it bluntly, it is a corrupt official. It means that the people below him can oppress him, but outsiders like you cannot.
General Rong took a step forward, his face turned red with anger and wanted to ask for orders, "Your Majesty, I wish..."
The emperor couldn't help but rolled his eyes at him, "Don't do that. I know you are known as the One-Armed Magic Sword outside, but how long does it take you to get to Yanxi Pass from Beijing?"
If I send you again at this time, the yellow flower tea will be cold.
Rong·One-Armed Magic Sword·General: "..."
Well, he was reckless.
He stepped back again.
There was nothing to discuss in this matter. Water from afar could not quench the thirst of the near. When they saw the memorial, they just got angry and cursed a few times to vent their anger. As for the rest, only the two soldiers and households were of some use.
….Military needs must be kept up with in a timely manner.
When fighting at the front, they must provide security at the rear so that the soldiers have no worries.
Not only food and grass, but also medicinal materials are indispensable.
Unlike grain, medicinal materials are stored in large quantities in the treasury. First, due to technical problems, there are not many people who know how to process medicinal materials; second, because many medicinal materials are not suitable for long-term storage even after they are processed, and their efficacy will be lost.
Therefore, once the imperial court was in urgent need of a large amount of medicinal materials, it would first borrow or purchase them from several major pharmacies in Beijing. The masters of these pharmacies were either officials or nobles, so there was no such thing as borrowing or not being able to buy them.
The question is whether their own storage capacity is sufficient.
Then rely on imperial merchants, which is the main source.
It's just that most of the imperial merchants' bases are not in the capital. When the quantity is large, they have to be transferred to other places, which takes a certain amount of time.
However, Yanxi Pass reported an epidemic at that time, and what was urgently needed were medicinal materials. Therefore, after discussing with Wang Shangshu, Qi Baoer decided to send the medicinal materials first after receiving a certain amount, and then continue later. There is no need to transport them to other places in the capital.
Send directly to Yanxiguan.
As a result, large quantities of medicinal materials need to be transported by people who can handle the situation; and medicinal materials transported directly to Yanxi Pass in other cities also need to be sent to keep an eye on.
Therefore, the upper echelons of the two departments of Binghu and Hubu are now nervous. In addition to Wang Shangshu, there is only one minister in charge of the Hubu. As for the Bingbu, Qian Wentong went to escort the first and largest batch of medicinal materials so far.
The upper echelons of the Ministry of War now pray that Bao'er will be the official minister.
Fortunately, there is a prince at the top and several principals at the bottom. Otherwise, Qi Baoer could just give up the job.
Enough of this, let’s go back to the imperial study.
While she was away, the emperor and the courtiers had already talked about another thing - the spring hunt in half a month.
Every year the emperor would hold a spring hunt and an autumn hunt without hesitation, ranging from ten days to half a month; sometimes it was just a matter of relaxing, and sometimes a certain general might emerge from it.
But for the officials, the emperor just wanted to relax, and it was a blessing and a possible opportunity to take this opportunity for their descendants to show their faces in front of the emperor.
However, not everyone can go to the Spring Hunting and Autumn Hunting. Whether they are from the court or the harem, or from aristocratic families and clans, they have to be named by the emperor before they can follow.
Therefore, spring hunting and autumn hunting are particularly important in the hearts of everyone. Whoever can follow them will demonstrate their status in the court and their weight in the emperor's mind.
Spring hunting and autumn hunting are not chosen at the same location. The nearest one is the Wu Tai Mountain Royal Hunting Ground less than a hundred miles outside Beijing; the far away one is the Huayin Mountain Royal Hunting Ground outside Yongding City. Go there
The middle journey will take two days.
What everyone is discussing right now is which of the two places we should go for this year’s spring hunting.
Originally, the royal hunting ground at Huayin Mountain had been decided, but due to the incident at Yanxi Pass, both Duke Fu and Duke Ding suggested that the emperor go to the royal hunting ground at Wutaishan this year.
The reason for assisting the Duke is: Qiu Yuanzong is already crazy. Not only does he attack the city with a method that cannot be tolerated by nature, he can even harm his own nephew. This kind of person has long lost his humanity.
Who knows what else will happen to him?
Mount Wutai is close to the capital. If there is any accident, the emperor will be able to return to the palace in just half a day.
The reason for appointing the Duke of the Kingdom is simple: there are always wars coming from Yanxi Pass, so the emperor can stay close so that things will not be delayed.
It can be said that among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, these two were the only ones who dared to say such things.
In the end, the emperor agreed with the opinions of the two veterans, and this year's spring hunting was held at the royal hunting ground in Mount Wutai.
That's it, let's move on to the next thing.
