Doctor Lu took care of the injured, came over and explained:
"In the past, tigers were afraid of people. They only moved in deep mountains and would not go to places with many people."
"So of course the prince and Lord Yu have never seen a tiger."
"It is estimated that the sky fire burned the woods and killed many small animals."
"The tiger will not go down the mountain until there is no food to eat."
Dr. Lu once went to the mountains to collect medicine and saw tigers with his own eyes.
But the tiger didn't hurt anyone at that time and ran away when he saw him.
It may also be that there is a lot of food on the mountain and the tiger is full...
Now that the tiger's habitat has been destroyed, its range of activities has naturally expanded.
"Aside from tigers, what other wild beasts are there on this mountain?" Song Yang asked with a frown.
"There should also be leopards and wolves. I've never seen these two species before, but I heard about them from the hunters I met in the mountains." Doctor Lu thought for a moment and said.
Song Yang nodded, looked at Yu Ming and asked:
"Didn't I ask you to send the weapon down? Why were you still injured by the tiger?"
Yu Ming hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have indeed issued weapons to them, and they are required to travel with no less than five people."
"But...these people have never held a knife. The tiger still attacked sneakily, and the people were not alert. So..."
Yu Ming had no choice. It was unrealistic to expect these common people to dare to kill a tiger with a knife.
Song Yang thought about it and realized that the main problem was lack of vigilance, which allowed the tiger to take advantage of him.
"Let's do this. Let's start organizing all the people's strongholds for unified drills tomorrow."
"At least develop the ability to protect yourself."
"We also need to practice here in the isolation camp to improve our immunity and recover from the epidemic faster!"
Song Yang thought for a while and decided to improve the physical fitness of the people.
In today's incident, it is said that five people were holding steel knives, and they didn't even touch the tiger's hair, and their fighting ability was too poor.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will take care of my humble duty in a moment." Yu Ming clasped his fists and accepted the order.
"Also, ask if there is anyone in the camp who knows how to hunt. Take someone up the mountain to clean up the beasts to avoid hurting people in the future."
Yu Ming said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, we have already dealt with people, and none of them know how to hunt."
"But don't worry, Your Majesty! I will arrange for a few more guardsmen to go tomorrow."
"This time we are bringing crossbows and gongs and drums to scare the tiger away even if we can't find it!"
A total of about two hundred suitable bows and crossbows were found in the Guards' armory.
There are several large boxes of arrows.
Of course, apart from the guards, most ordinary people do not know how to use bows and arrows.
Song Yang shook his head and said: "Forget it. It naturally hid when it saw that there were many of you. Still waiting for you to chase him away? Be more careful when collecting herbs in the mountains in the future. Leave one sentry in each group!"
"In the past few days, I will focus on training, and I will also practice bows and arrows." Song Yang emphasized.
"Yes! Your Majesty is wise."
After Yu Ming received the king's order, he immediately went back to prepare for military training.
He was very supportive of the prince's military training.
This morning, Yu Ming took the young men to the palace again.
This time I also brought a counting house.
After an investigation, it was found that there were 6,500 grains in the cellar of the palace!
This much food is enough for them to eat for half a year.
This is also the economic reason why Yu Ming supports the training.
Military training is a costly project.
Only when there is enough food can we train our troops.
In fact, there is a more important reason why Song Yang and Yu Ming are eager to train.
The messenger sent by Fang Changshi to report for help is back!
The courier arrived at noon today.
This man looked exhausted. He had been running back and forth for nine days, and he was frightened after sleeping in the open air.
Three days ago, he ran out of all the dry food he brought with him, so he survived by eating grass roots and tree bark for three days!
The most important thing is that he hasn't drank water for two days.
A few days ago, when his water bag ran out, he boiled a pot of river water and almost died.
In the next few days, I relied on rainwater accumulated in puddles on the roadside to quench my thirst.
Two days ago, the rainwater on the roadside had dried up, and there was really no need to drink.
Fortunately, we are not far from home.
I carried it for two days and came back on horseback.
After getting off the horse, he didn't bother to say hello to Yu Ming.
I drank two large bowls of water and finally regained my composure.
The horse was unlucky when he followed him out to deliver letters, and lost more than ten kilograms during the trip back and forth.
I am really exhausted.
The messenger received Fang Zhe's order and originally went to Jiangning City to ask for help.
Originally, it took two days to get there quickly via the official road.
As a result, it took three and a half days to finally reach the edge of Jiangning Mansion.
He came back directly without even going to Fucheng.
It’s impossible not to come back!
As soon as they entered Jiangning Mansion, the messenger learned from the refugees that Jiangning City was gone.
At that time, he was so frightened that his heart pounded.
In fact, there are thousands of miles of ruins along the way, and the messenger has already made some guesses.
But he still didn't give up and wanted to confirm Jiang Ning's situation.
result……
"Jiang...Jiang Ning is gone too? This...how is this possible!"
Yu Ming stared with big eyes and exclaimed in disbelief with a trembling voice.
It is a full six hundred miles from Jiangzhou to Jiangning.
Even Jiang Ning is gone, then...
After Yu Ming got the letter, he was basically sure that there was nothing left in the whole Daqian.
At the very least, Jiangnan was ruined.
"Don't let this matter leak out for now." Song Yang frowned and warned.
"Yes, yes! Keep your mouth shut! If anyone asks, just say that the letter has been delivered and is waiting for the adults to decide!"
"Yes! I understand!"
The messenger is a servant of the Yamen, but he is also a retired soldier from the guard.
"You go down and rest first. Cui Shan, arrange a place for this brother."
After sending the messenger, Yu Ming asked with a worried look: "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
The capital of the Qian Dynasty was in the capital, but all government secrets in Jiangnan were transferred through Jiangning.
Moreover, Jiangning also has a leadership team responsible for the operation of Jiangnan.
Not to mention Jiangbei, if Jiangning City is destroyed, the entire Jiangnan will be paralyzed.
"We all survived if the sky fell, so there is nothing to worry about! Live our lives well in the future!" Song Yang said in a deep voice.
Sooner or later, the news of the end of the world will spread.
He wanted to stabilize the hearts of the people under his command before the news spread.
Even if everyone knows the bad news, they can still work hard to survive.
Yu Ming's expression changed several times, and a determined expression gradually appeared on his face. He looked at Song Yang and said:
"What the prince said is true! I will definitely assist the prince in restoring the prosperous age of Daqian!"
After the catastrophe, the world collapsed.
For people like Ming who are in the military, now is not the time to make achievements.
According to the messenger, he saw many refugees on the road.
Some have already begun to rob other refugees just to eat.
As a man who has been a soldier for more than ten years, Yu Ming feels that troubled times are coming.
If he could assist Song Yang in rebuilding the country, then he would be a serious founding hero!
Song Yang shook his head, understanding his little thoughts.
After comforting him for a while, he sent Yu Ming back.
As a result, just after noon, the herb collection team came back with the wounded.
The shortcomings of the people's lack of exercise were immediately exposed.
Song Yang also happened to take this opportunity to mention the matter of military training.
Yu Ming also made up his mind to train a suitable team for the prince.
