Chapter 281 Urgent report from the north, a disastrous defeat in Dagan
After taking care of the wound on the horse's hoof, Li Changfeng left, while Chunni stayed in the stable to observe the changes in the horse.
Zhang Haihui has arrived at the mansion, and Li Changfeng ordered him to personally take a group of experts to Baishi City and bring Tang Yi and many other scientists who are still in Baishi City back to the capital.
These people are so important.
He didn't worry about it in Baishi City. If it was in the capital, it would be protected by him and Emperor Qianwu's army, so there wouldn't be any problems.
Naturally, such an important task should be entrusted to someone you trust.
At the same time, he ordered the construction of a new factory to mass-produce penicillin.
Then Li Changfeng rode a fast horse to the glass products factory of the Beijing Foreign Research Institute.
He called together the best glass craftsmen in the factory and asked them to make a batch of better syringes. The syringes Tang Yi sent were too rough.
By the time I returned to the mansion after making all these arrangements, it was almost dark.
Li Changfeng ignored the meal and hurried to the stables, where he found Chunni still sitting there observing the horses.
"how's it going?"
Chunni raised his head, his tone was no longer as calm as usual, and he exclaimed: "It actually worked. The horse is much more energetic. It even ate some fodder and drank some water just now!"
Li Changfeng laughed loudly: "Okay! Great!"
Chunni stood up, stared at Li Changfeng with her beautiful eyes, and asked in surprise: "Did you also invent this penicillin?"
"Yes, I invented it, but the subsequent improvement of the purification technology to achieve mass production was done by my people."
"You...you..." Chunni's alluring red lips opened again and again, her face full of shock, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Goodbye, let's go, it's time to eat."
Li Changfeng was in a good mood, so she pulled Chunni and walked towards the restaurant. She had always been disgusted with men touching her Chunni, but now she didn't resist and let him pull her.
"You are really a...well, how should I put it, a very magical person. I am very curious, how do you know this?"
"Some people are born with knowledge, do you believe it?" Li Changfeng said with a smile.
"This is impossible." Chunni shook his head, not believing that such a person existed.
"Well, to tell you the truth, I suddenly discovered this when I was observing things."
"Then can you tell me how penicillin is made?"
"No, this is a secret, just like you didn't tell me Bai Yujing's situation."
Chunni stopped talking and looked at Li Changfeng with bright eyes, becoming even more curious about him.
…
The second day.
Li Changfeng got up early, had breakfast and went to the stables. He found that Chunni was also there, staring blankly at the horses that had stood up and grazed in the manger.
Li Changfeng laughed a few times, turned around and left. He sent someone to prepare a carriage and walked towards the palace.
Many people in the northern garrison were wounded and their wounds were inflamed. They would die soon if this continued. Penicillin could be used to save their lives.
Li Changfeng didn't intend to ask for a penny.
He had great respect for these soldiers who defended the country and guarded the border, and could not bear to see them die. Moreover, the national treasury was very tight now, and he would have to pay more money for railway construction in the future.
This little money is nothing to him.
Of course, he also has a little selfishness.
That is to advertise penicillin by treating these soldiers. The shocking effect of this kind of batch treatment is much stronger than finding a single patient.
When penicillin became world-famous, he started to make money.
…
Li Changfeng is the only person in the entire Daqian who can directly enter the Imperial Study Room of Emperor Qianwu without the need for communication.
"Father, my son has recently done something..."
Li Changfeng pushed the door open and stopped before he finished speaking.
I saw Feng Quji, Ye Qingcang, Minister of War Yue Jianghe, Minister of Household Chen Dingyuan, and several other military generals sitting in the Imperial Study Room. Their faces were not very good-looking.
Emperor Qianwu looked gloomy after sitting at his imperial desk.
Feng Quji and others quickly got up to pay homage.
"Meet His Highness the Ninth Prince."
"Please get up, my father. Since you have something to discuss, I will leave first and go to Jingren Palace to see my mother, and then come back."
After speaking, Li Changfeng turned around and left quickly, regardless of whether Emperor Qianwu agreed or not.
Just by looking at the formation, he knew that something big must have happened. He didn't want to participate in the discussion, what if Emperor Qianwu assigned him another job?
How could Emperor Qianwu not understand his son's temperament? He knew what Li Changfeng was thinking without even thinking about it, and he was so angry in his heart.
Can't you worry a little bit for me?
"Stop!" Emperor Qianwu scolded with a stern face.
Li Changfeng had no choice but to stop.
"What are your orders, Father?"
After all, there were so many ministers present at the scene. Emperor Qianwu was concerned about Li Changfeng's face and did not continue to scold him. He said in a deep voice: "You came just in time. I had planned to summon you. Sit down."
Emperor Qianwu pointed to the chair, then looked at Gao Dali.
"Tell him about the situation."
Gao Dali bowed slightly and was about to speak, but Ye Qingcang beat him to it.
"Forget it, let me say it."
Ye Qingcang looked at Li Changfeng with a solemn expression.
"Urgent report from the Northern Territory. Sun Xueyi, the guard of the Northern Territory, is seriously injured. Li Jianye, the Generalissimo of the Northern Expedition, has lost his troops and generals. The Northern Territory is in danger!"
"How is this possible?!"
Li Changfeng exclaimed.
He couldn't believe that Li Jianye would lose troops and generals.
During this expedition, there were two hundred artillery pieces, five hundred muskets, sufficient ammunition, and every soldier had rich combat experience.
The strength of the artillery battalion and the musketry battalion were much stronger than during his initial southern expedition. With such a strong strength, even if he did not achieve impressive results, he should not lose troops and generals.
This is so unreasonable.
Ye Qingcang sighed: "When I first heard the news, I didn't believe it, but it is the fact. However, His Highness Li Jianye cannot be entirely blamed for this..."
Next, Ye Qingcang analyzed the battle in the northern border from a professional military perspective.
The northern border is connected to the Hu grassland, and there is no danger to defend it. It can be said that it is an isolated city. Sun Xueyi used to chase the Hu troops who invaded the border.
The artillery body is quite bulky. Although Li Changfeng has installed wheels long ago, the moving speed is still too slow, especially on the grassland.
Therefore, Li Jianye adopted Li Changfeng's tactics in southern Xinjiang and held on to the city wall.
However, the Hu army was cunning. After one siege, they suffered heavy losses and then gave up the siege, bypassing the city and marching straight into the territory of Daqian.
Li Jianye had no choice but to lead his army in pursuit. The artillery had no place to use, but the 500 muskets could not form an effective combat effectiveness.
Although there were grenades to help, the Hu army was not afraid of death and was good at riding and shooting. Coupled with the help of strange beasts, it caused serious losses to Daqian's army.
Of course, the losses suffered by the Hu army were not small.
The Hu army cannot defeat the Dagan army, and the Dagan army cannot defeat the Hu army.
