Chapter 656 The combat effectiveness of the Ming army
The benefits here can only be said to be conceivable.
In addition, drugs are not large in size and are easy to smuggle, so there is no way to control them.
Regarding the export of drugs, the only thing Zhu Hongyu can do is to increase the selling price of drugs to gain more profits for himself.
However, even though Ming Dynasty’s pricing for exported medicines was particularly shady, those medicines were still in short supply.
Because penicillin was just invented not long ago!
Except for the officers and men in the army, those who can afford it among the people are actually wealthy and wealthy households.
For these people, life is more important than money!
As long as penicillin is really effective and can save lives, even if it costs one thousand silver dollars a portion, let alone one hundred silver dollars, the supply will still exceed demand.
No one would think that they have a lot of lives, right?
Just like for Wu Sangui now, as long as penicillin can really save his son's life, how can he care about money?
"Is one serving of penicillin enough? If not, use more servings!"
Wu Sangui watched several imperial doctors giving medicine to Wu Yingqi, and he couldn't help but ask.
An imperial doctor kept moving, pulling out the oversized syringe from Wu Yingqi's body, quickly pressing Wu Yingqi's bleeding wound with a cotton ball, and explained.
"Your Majesty, this penicillin must be used in an appropriate amount!"
"If you use it too much, it will be bad for people!"
As he spoke, the syringe in the doctor's hand, with its tip still bleeding, was quite conspicuous.
There is nothing that can be done about it. The processing accuracy in this era is so high, and the needle of a syringe is not that easy to manufacture.
Wu Sangui didn't say anything anymore, but his eyes were still staring at his son unblinkingly.
That look in his eyes seemed like he was afraid something might happen to his son!
…
The sun rises and the moon sets, and the night passes!
Guan Ning's army camped in place and did not continue southward.
A large area of camp stretched out for such a long distance that it was almost impossible to see to the edge.
The entire camp was filled with Guan Ning Army soldiers patrolling everywhere.
Wu Sangui ordered someone to bring a chair and place it next to Wu Yingqi's bed.
He sat on the chair and looked after her all night.
Wu Yingxiong stood aside, full of envy for his younger brother.
They are both sons, but the preference they can get from son to son is also different...
"Father, it's almost dawn. You can go and rest. I'll just keep an eye on Ying Qi!"
Wu Yingxiong looked at the visible fatigue on Wu Sangui's face and couldn't help but persuade him.
Unexpectedly, Wu Sangui just shook his head and said!
"No need, you can go and have a rest. Just stay here for your father!"
Wu Sangui is still a little worried about his eldest son Wu Yingxiong.
He only has two sons in total. Now Wu Yingqi is seriously injured and it is still unknown whether he can wake up.
Wu Yingxiong suddenly took a big step forward from his position as heir.
As the distance gets closer, ambition will also grow.
Wu Sangui was worried about leaving Wu Yingqi in Wu Yingxiong's hands, because he was afraid that Wu Yingxiong would let Wu Yingqi "succumb to his injuries" in his absence!
Wu Sangui was helpless!
If one son dies, he can't kill the other son, right?
Although Wu Yingxiong may not have such thoughts, he is not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of what happens.
Wu Sangui wouldn’t dare to bet that Wu Yingxiong didn’t want to be crowned prince of the Qing Dynasty in advance!
Wu Yingxiong seemed to understand Wu Sangui's vigilance towards him, with a very obvious expression of loneliness on his face.
But he did not continue to insist, but resigned to Wu Sangui, turned around and left the military tent.
Not long after, Wu Yingxiong personally brought a bowl of chicken soup and said to his Wu Sangui.
"Father, I ordered someone to cook a bowl of chicken soup, using the finest Liaodong Laoshan Ginseng. Please try it!"
Wu Sangui took the soup bowl, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and put it into his mouth.
The chicken soup boiled with old wild ginseng went into his throat, and Wu Sangui's spirit, which had been sluggish from staying up late, suddenly cheered up.
The whole person seems to be full of power!
Ginseng nourishes qi and blood. For the elderly, it is a good product to prolong life and nourish the body.
At this moment, several imperial doctors came in one after another and began to change Wu Yingqi's gauze, clean his wounds, and check his physical condition.
After a while, the imperial doctor who was the leader knelt down in front of Wu Sangui with a bang and said with a happy face.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Majesty, has his own destiny. Now his body temperature has dropped, and the wound is no longer inflamed and ulcerated."
"I believe it won't take long for His Highness to wake up!"
When Wu Sangui heard this, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief, his old face full of visible joy.
Immediately, he laughed loudly.
"Haha! Hahaha!"
"It's great if it's okay, it's great if it's okay!"
"..."
…
After the Ming army captured Wuchang City, they did not continue to advance westward along the Yangtze River.
Instead, they began to repair in Wuchang City and were ready to go north to meet the main force of Guan Ning's army going south.
He Wenxiu personally sat in Wuchang, and the Ming army continued to perform martial arts inside and outside Wuchang, making final preparations before the war.
Zhu Hongyu received the good news from the direction of Huguang in Nanjing City, and watched the good news that the Ming army had captured Huangzhou Prefecture and Wuchang City neatly.
He also designed an ambush to annihilate the main force of Guan Ning's army led by Wu Yingqi. Zhu Hongyu was more cheerful.
Facts have proved that whether it is against Guan Ning's army or the Qing army, the Ming army's combat effectiveness has a huge advantage that can crush the opponent.
Whether it was the Guan Ning army or the Qing army, they fought with the Ming army.
Unless they, like Wu Yingqi's men did, relied on their own cavalry's mobility advantage to hit and run, making the Ming army unable to catch him.
Otherwise, whenever the two sides fight head-on, they will have no power to resist!
Not to mention that the current Ming army has an absolute advantage in strength every time it mobilizes against the enemy.
Even if the Ming army does not have a strength advantage, with its firepower advantage, it is invincible in a head-to-head confrontation.
In this era, absolutely no army can withstand the Ming army's indiscriminate bombing!
Looking at the specific information in the battle report, Zhu Hongyu quickly approved the reward in the victory report.
Then write a letter to the Logistics Department and the Ministry of Finance to ask them to make relevant plans to ensure that the reward can be implemented quickly.
Zhu Hongyu had just put down his writing brush when someone came in from outside to report.
"Your Majesty, please see me at Taiyuan Hospital!"
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly.
"Send someone to come in!"
After saying this, Zhu Hongyu was vaguely looking forward to it.
He knew that the hospital's recent focus was on the smallpox vaccine research project, which had already achieved certain results.
