Nowadays, people generally know very well that the most important thing to prevent and control after heavy rain is plague. Heavy rain will pollute water sources, turn up dirt from the gutters, and a large number of parasites will breed. Therefore, just after the heavy rain stops, Yunzheng
A large-scale anti-epidemic training began. All the veterans of the Jiazi Camp were singled out to do this. Two people in the Guangnan Army were caught drinking raw water and were hung from the camp gate and given a full thirty lashes.
This completely eliminated the habit of drinking raw water among the Guangnan army.
This has never happened since the beginning of time. Yu Jing, who could barely get up, wanted to open his mouth to persuade him several times, but when he saw Yun Zheng's livid face, he consciously
Go and persuade people like Yang Zi.
Yun Zheng told Zhou Tong, Wu Jie and Su Xun that a plague was about to break out in Wuchao City, but the rest of them didn't say anything. Yu Jing knew that Yun Zheng was not a random person, so he suppressed the worry in his heart.
Doubt followed Wu Shengjun in issuing extremely strict military orders, and the law enforcement team was a veteran of Jiazi Camp.
The most important thing now is to get enough dry firewood and dry everyone's clothes and tents first. Counting on the wet sun in the sky, it is impossible to dry them out.
There are swarms of mosquitoes flying around here in late autumn, so countless wet firewood piles are lit in the Wu Shengjun military camp, covering the entire camp in a thin layer of smoke. Qili incense is also added to the firewood piles.
, patchouli, mint, perilla, calamus, lemongrass
Wait for all the herbs you can find to prevent mosquitoes, so that very few mosquitoes will dare to enter the camp.
The best thing to use at this time is naturally charcoal. In addition to the necessary defense troops, the rest of the people in the military camp are cutting down pitch pine and wax trees that are very easy to burn. The pitch pine and wax trees are used as fuel, and they thoroughly control the soldiers.
The chopped firewood is burned into charcoal in a charcoal kiln. It is not taken out from the charcoal kiln, but is kept inside and used as needed.
Yunzheng did not allow any blind spots in the personal hygiene of the soldiers, nor did he allow any blind spots in the military camp. After five full days, the beds in the military camp were cleaner than ordinary people's beds.
Yu Jing searched for an entire afternoon. After being helped into Yun Zheng's tent, he waved his hand to repel the soldiers. After thinking for a long time, he asked Yun Zheng: "Chang Sheng, if you are not busy thinking of countermeasures to attack Wuchao, why are you executing them in the camp?"
What kind of "Health Management Regulations" is this?
Don't hide it from me. If you do something so solemnly, it can't be because your mysophobia suddenly broke out, as the soldiers rumored, right?"
Yun Zheng very unreasonably put the back of his hand on Yu Jing's forehead to feel the temperature. Seeing that the old man's body temperature had returned to normal, he whispered: "There must be a major epidemic after a major disaster, and Xiao Lin from Wu Shengjun's Military Justice Department accidentally
Seeing that dead people were often thrown into the cliff during this period in Wuchao City, he was going to find out why those people died, but I refused. I knew clearly that the city was now plagued by a plague without having to find out.
It's time. You had diarrhea in the past few days, and hundreds of people in the back camp also had diarrhea. This is proof, but compared with those who have malaria in the city, you are really just a minor illness."
Yu Jing stood up from the chair with a loud noise, pointed at Yun Zheng with trembling fingers and said, "Is it really an epidemic?"
Yun Zheng nodded with a gloomy face: "I am 90% sure that it is the time when malaria is rampant in the city. Therefore, our task now is no longer to think about how to break through the city gate, but to think about how to make the people in the city
Don't run out. Even if they want to run away, they can only go to Jiaozhi. Anyone who comes to the Song Dynasty will be killed one by one, whether they are envoys or deserters."
"We should leave the epidemic area!" Yu Jing forced the words out of his throat with difficulty.
"We can't leave. We must trap Nong Zhigao in the city. Otherwise, if he makes a desperate advance towards the Song Dynasty, it will be a disaster. So we only need to block the main entrance. As for whether he is willing to carry the plague to Jiaozhi.
If you run away, you won't know." Yun Zheng's expression was calm, and he pressed Yu Jing, who was shaking all over, on his seat and whispered.
"It doesn't matter if I stay. It's not that I haven't dealt with the plague when I was in Guizhou. It's just that our dynasty's elite army is here. If there is any loss, there will even be worries about overthrow of the country. I don't want to be frightened!"
"It is so easy to risk overthrow of the country there. The Western troops who came are all pulled from the army. Their numbers are not enough to threaten the defense in the west. Otherwise, Your Majesty will definitely not be willing to send the Western troops over. The day before yesterday, I
We have sent a fast horse to deliver a message to Di Shuai, asking him to use the road to return to the Song Dynasty from Dali Kingdom!" Yun Zheng suddenly smiled when he said this. If a plague really occurs, all the difficulties in front of him will be solved.
"By way of Dali?" There was a crack in Yu Jing's voice: "You must not, you must not start a provocation!"
"What should we do? Go through the mountains? Do you think we can go through those mountains? If we go through the wilderness, it would be great if half of the 27,000-man army led by Di Shuai can be left. If we come back again, here is
Looking at the epidemic areas, the only one who could deal with the plague in an orderly manner during the Song Dynasty was Wu Shengjun. You don’t know how lucky I am now that Wu Shengjun stayed. If the Western Army stayed to attack the city, and Wu Shengjun went to Luoji Prefecture, it would be a real disaster.
!
Now it has become a certain death situation. Either Di Shuai will discuss with Dali Kingdom to use the road to return to Shu, or he will break through Dali Kingdom and return to Shu. It is better to forget about returning."
Yu Jing groaned and said: "Who would allow an army of 30,000 people to cross the state from their own country? Gao Zhisheng, the Prime Minister of Dali, still knew about such a thing as pretending to destroy Guo, even if the Dali Emperor Duan Silian was stupid
Incompetent, Gao Zhisheng will definitely not agree to agree to Di Shuai's help. The one who really walks the talk in Dali is the Prime Minister Gao Zhisheng!"
Yun Zheng once again helped old Yu Jing sit down and said with a smile: "My Ming Gong, who is Marshal Di? He is not commanding these useless armies in Guangnan. He is commanding the Western Army, a group of
A person who has been killing for a living since he was a child.
You, old man, need to change your mind when thinking about the problem. Now you think of Di Shuai as Li Yuanhao when he was at his most powerful, and then think of Duan Silian as what I was like when Song Dynasty was at its most unlucky. If you think like this, you will
It is actually not difficult to discover this matter. What's more, how do you know that the Emperor of Dali, Duan Silian, refused to lend the road to Di Shuai? What else does Duan Silian have now? It's just an empty shell. To put it bluntly, Gao Zhisheng can do it at any time.
If he can be replaced, an army suddenly appears that wants to fight Gao Zhisheng. It is still a very powerful army. Duan Silian may be worshiping Buddha in the palace at this time, begging the king to descend from the sky and pull him out of the predicament.
, we have another excuse to send troops, Gao Zhisheng has given Nong Zhigao a lot of help, if we don’t trouble him now, who will we trouble him with?"
Yu Jing felt that his heart was broken. He had always focused on the country and rarely considered external matters. Now he was suddenly asked to include Dali Country in his thinking. His mind was at a loss.
It can't be turned around.
He suddenly saw that there seemed to be flames burning in Yun Zheng's eyes, and felt that his lips were dry, and said with difficulty: "Changsheng, even if Di Shuai has no choice but to come to Dali, what are you going to do? Tell me something.
To be honest, don’t try to trick me, I’m still ill and I can’t stand the shock.”
The monkey brought in a small plate of dark stuff from outside the tent, put it on the table and hurried out. After Yun Zheng took a dark stuff and opened it, Yu Jing discovered that it was roasted garlic.
Seeing Yun Zheng clean a piece of steaming garlic, he handed it over and said: "From today on, you have to eat this thing every day. Of course, it is best to eat it raw. This thing can best kill the toxins in the stomach. Every day
With a few garlic cloves, the chance of getting malaria is very small."
Yun Zheng saw that Yu Jing refused to pick up the garlic and was still staring at him, so he smiled and said: "What Wu Shengjun wants to do now is to besiege Wuchao. When most of the people here are dead, they will burn the city to death."
future trouble."
"really?"
"That's true!"
Yu Jing then took the garlic and put it into his mouth, chewed it slowly, knocked on his head and said: "I need to think about it carefully, think about it carefully, and sort out the cause and effect of the matter. Then I will give a memorial to His Majesty."
, Your Majesty, please make preparations early, make preparations early..."
Since Yun Zheng and Yu Jing talked, Wu Shengjun has become more strict in controlling the "Health Regulations". At this time, Yun Zheng no longer cares about these trivial matters in the army, but Yu Jing drags his sick body around in the three camps every day.
They patrolled and inspected the ground, and punished soldiers who occasionally violated the rules more severely. Yang Zi asked Yu Jing several times, but Yu Jing hesitated to talk, which made Yang Zi full of anger and ignorance.
Famous panic.
However, things like this can't be hidden for long. Corpses are constantly being thrown out of Wuchao City and the soldiers are slowly finding out about it. Yang Zi is even more aware of it, although he still doesn't know what it is.
Seeing that Yu Jing's face was getting more and more ugly, he stopped asking about the reason. After all, the corpse thrown from the top of the city was not one of his subordinates.
The construction projects in Wuchao City slowly stopped, and Wu Shengjun no longer harassed the city. The two armies did not interfere with each other like harmonious neighbors and lived their own lives. It seemed that this situation would continue to exist.
However, one night when the siege lasted for forty-one days, the Tiansheng Bridge in the west of Wuchao City was cut into two parts with a huge roar, and a large gap of twenty feet appeared in the middle. At this point, Wuchao finally
The retreat route was also completely cut off. Nong Zhigao sent dead soldiers to climb down the cliff to the opposite side, and used more than a dozen huge rattans to rebuild a bridge. However, this bridge could only barely pass people, even war horses.
