Zhu Hongyu nodded with satisfaction, but still spoke.
"Hearing that Lao Taishan was ill, Gu Mingren transferred several imperial doctors from Luzon's Imperial Hospital and asked them to diagnose and treat Lao Taishan later."
When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he suddenly felt a chill in his back.
You know, Ming Dynasty's Imperial Hospital doesn't have a good reputation.
The use of prisoners of war for vivisection experiments has basically been spread.
Even among the people, "send you to the hospital for a visit" has been regarded as the most vicious curse word.
Can you see what the reputation of the current Da Ming Tai Hospital is?
As the number two figure in the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong did what he did to the imperial hospital.
Not to mention that I understand it clearly, but I have heard about it.
Now that he heard that Zhu Hongyu was going to send an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him, he subconsciously felt a chill on his back.
But then he realized that although the doctors at the Imperial Hospital had a bad reputation, their medical skills were really superb.
The most typical example is that intestinal carbuncle (appendicitis), which was considered a terminal illness in the past, can now be successfully treated.
Putting aside those scary rumors, the medical skills of the imperial doctors at the imperial hospital are still worthy of recognition.
Zheng Chenggong said with his fists clasped.
"Old minister, I would like to thank His Highness for your concern!"
While the two were talking, an announcement sounded outside.
"Your Highness, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Zhou Tianxu, would like to see you!"
A young eunuch jogged all the way to Zhu Hongyu to report.
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.
"Invite people in!"
Not long after, Zhou Tianxu appeared in front of Zhu Hongyu.
Zhu Hongyu asked.
"What happened?"
Zheng Chenggong also cast curious eyes on Zhou Tianxu.
Zhou Tianxu said with his fists clasped.
"Your Highness, this is news from Fuzhou..."
…
Ten days ago!
The chaotic fighting outside Fuzhou City continued. Cai Yaozu stood at the top of Fuzhou City, his face full of sorrow.
Looking at the increasingly fierce fighting outside the city, he only felt the fear of impending disaster.
The faces of the entire gentry and landlords inside and outside Fuzhou City were also full of panic and uneasiness.
People kept coming to ask Cai Yaozu when reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty would arrive.
The reason why they sided with Cai Yaozu was entirely because Cai Yaozu had the Ming Dynasty as his backer.
Rather than saying that they support Cai Yaozu, it is better to say that they support Ming Dynasty.
Nowadays, there is a raging war outside the city, and these wealthy gentry families in Fuzhou can only hope that the Ming Dynasty will come for help.
Nowadays, the situation in Fuzhou is urgent, but reinforcements have not arrived. Naturally, almost all questions are directed at Cai Yaozu.
When Cai Yaozu faced the doubts from the Fuzhou gentry, he could only deal with them by constantly using fast and fast.
When he turned around, he was more anxious than anyone else!
"Mr. Cai, you must give us an accurate message as to when reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty will arrive?"
"If we don't have any confidence, we will have to make plans in advance!"
The wealthy gentry in Fuzhou City questioned Cai Yaozu in an almost threatening tone.
Facing the question, Cai Yaozu withdrew his gaze from outside the city, turned around, and said with a wry smile.
"You don't know when Ming reinforcements will arrive, so how can I know?"
"Am I not trapped in Fuzhou City like everyone else now?"
“Could it be that I, Cai Yaozu, came to Ming Dynasty’s reinforcements just as I asked?”
"It is rare for me, Cai Yaozu, to say that the Ming army is coming to kill now. Will the Ming army be able to kill Fuzhou immediately?"
However, as soon as Cai Yaozu finished speaking, he saw expressions of surprise on the faces of the landowners and gentry standing in front of him.
That expression looked as if he had seen a ghost!
Cai Yaozu was curious about what they saw and looked back subconsciously.
Then the expression on his face also changed to that of the Fuzhou landlords and gentry.
At the end of everyone's sight at the top of Fuzhou City, a large flag with clear characters appeared.
Then there is a very conspicuous red line, which is an array of Ming troops wearing red armor.
While the flag was waving, there were faint shouts and shouts.
"Tiger!" "Tiger!" "Tiger!"
Waves of murderous aura are coming!
A group of cavalry wearing red armor appeared on the battlefield outside Fuzhou City. They circled around the battlefield and then rode towards them.
The Ming army's elite cavalry quickly completed the entire team.
From a loose cavalry marching formation to a wall cavalry charge formation in the blink of an eye.
Countless cavalry formed a dense array, moving forward side by side!
People and people, horses and horses were crowded together, and there was no room to even turn around.
Like a Yellow River bursting its banks, it keeps accelerating forward.
The horses' hooves trampled the ground, and the ground shook and roared.
Facing the sudden attack of the Ming cavalry, the Jingnan army, which was still fighting each other, suddenly fell into chaos.
The Ming cavalry used wall cavalry tactics and entered the battlefield outside Fuzhou City like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep.
The Qing army in front of them was either cavalry or infantry.
Whether it's the Eight Banners or the Green Camp.
All of them showed themselves vulnerable.
Under the charge of the Ming army's cavalry, the battlefield looked like a plowed wasteland, with all the weeds in the ground uprooted and new soil dug out.
The soldiers and horses of the Jingnan Army, who originally fought against each other in a quite orderly manner, were rushed by the Ming Army once, and all that was left was chaos.
Countless soldiers of the Jingnan Army turned around and fled when faced with the charge of the Ming Army's cavalry, their faces full of fear.
Outside the city of Fuzhou, the Jingnan Army was in retreat, with their helmets and armours discarded all over the mountains and plains!
Everyone's faces were filled with fear and fear!
The collapse is just an instant!
Cai Yaozu and others at the top of Fuzhou City stared intently at the scene outside the city, with genuine surprise on their faces.
"The Ming Dynasty's military power is truly terrifying!"
"Hiss, the King of the Han Family, is this the King of the Han Family?"
"The Jingnan Army was actually... so vulnerable in front of the Ming Dynasty King's Master..."
"This is just the vanguard, Ming's main force hasn't entered the scene yet!"
"..."
They were really frightened.
The Jingnan army, which had been arrogant just now and was fighting fiercely with each other, collapsed in front of the Ming army.
There is almost no resistance. The gap in combat power is too big!
In fact, the difference in combat effectiveness between the Jingnan Army and the Ming Army is not as big as it seems.
The reason why the Jingnan Army behaved so badly was that it almost collapsed at the first touch.
First, because they were attacked by surprise, they were caught off guard and had no time to respond, so they were rushed into the line by the Ming army.
The second reason is that the Jingnan Army has been fighting for so long, and almost everyone is exhausted.
It is normal for a tired army to collapse after being suddenly attacked.
The cavalry of the Ming Army charged into the Jingnan Army's formation, and then retreated calmly before their power was exhausted.
The generals of the Jingnan Army were just preparing to organize their troops, collect the defeated troops, and launch a counterattack against the Ming Army.
I saw the main force of the Ming army pressing into the battlefield!
Neat infantry formations entered the battlefield one after another, and countless soldiers stood side by side, marching in order.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Drive out the Tartars and restore China!"
"Ten thousand victories! The Ming Dynasty is ten thousand victors!"
"..."
Amidst the uniform shouts, the Ming army was as powerful as a rainbow.
The red armor is dazzling, and the sharp bayonet points forward, pointing diagonally at the sky.
"Everyone has it, raise your gun!"
The officers at the grassroots level gave the order, and the Ming army's array moved in order.
The musket with the bayonet attached changed from pointing diagonally upward to pointing straight up.
The movements were neat and uniform, and the rows of black muzzles were extremely impressive.
