"Brother, please tell me why you are not afraid of the plague. The commander-in-chief has inquired and found out that all the people in Guangyuan Prefecture have died." Ma Jinhu put food into his mouth and wanted to know some military secrets.
Wu Jie accompanied him to dinner, and sighed when he heard him ask this question: "Actually, it's very simple. Just take a bath often, isolate yourself from mosquitoes, don't have lice and fleas on your body, don't drink raw water, don't go anywhere, and isolate yourself immediately if there are any signs."
"
Ma Jinhu raised his head and said in shock: "That's it?"
Wu Jie replied affirmatively: "That's it! As long as you do this, the risk of contracting malaria is almost non-existent."
Ma Jinhu put his head next to Wu Jie and whispered: "If there is any panacea, tell me about it and it will not be leaked. We are all close brothers. Now I feel numb when I hear the reputation of the plague."
Wu Jie looked around, picked a handful of yellow flower poles, put them in front of Ma Jinhu's eyes and said: "If any brother is infected with the plague, immediately give him water squeezed out of this thing and drink it."
Ma Jinhuzi put down his rice bowl and took a closer look at the plant in front of him, frowning and saying, "This is Artemisia odorifera!"
Wu Jie nodded and said in a low voice: "Just this thing, I will tell you this even if you don't ask. My general also wrote a special article and asked me to show it to Di Shuai. He will take it after eating.
for you."
Ma Jinhu took the handful of Artemisia annua and went to the river to wash it with water. He endured the pungent smell and ate all the handful of Artemisia annua. He also ordered his men to pick the stuff and eat it.
Wu Jie felt that he did not need to tell Ma Jinhu that taking Artemisia annua in advance was of no use at all, but he understood what a placebo was. This was what the general said. He had personally verified this matter, and it was very correct.
Anyway, Artemisia annua cannot kill people, so let them be!
These people came to the swamp to receive supplies. I don’t know how panicked they were. It is estimated that few people had the courage to contact Wu Shengjun. They felt a sense of repulsion from the people who came from the epidemic area.
Otherwise, among the thousands of people in the freight team, Ma Jinhu would not be the only one who dared to eat Wu Shengjun’s food.
After eating Artemisia annua, Ma Jinhu's subordinates finally dared to joke with Wu Shengjun, and also dared to eat Wu Shengjun's sumptuous meals. They all ate the rice dumplings they brought, and the hot Tianwu had already tasted it after a long time.
.
The Huanzhou army is very close to Wu Shengjun. At least in Guangnan, the relationship between the two sides is the best. The battle at Kongtong Mountain brought the two sides together. Wu Shengjun’s military formation was actually from the Huanzhou army. The copper coins that Ma Jinhu brought back
, and even solved the Huanzhou Army's big trouble. Not only did Zhonge leave a large area for Wu Shengjun, he was also very smart to build a fortress for the Huanzhou Army in that area next to Wu Shengjun's fortress, although it was not as powerful as the Huanzhou Army's.
Wu Shengjun also made iron and coke, but as the upstream of Wu Shengjun's industrial system, they could dig coal and iron ore, and then sell these things to Wu Shengjun.
Because the two families have the same interests, it is easy to get along.
"Can you give us more gunpowder bombs? These are so useful. When I see the soldiers, I just need to throw a few at them. Those soldiers will scream and run away. They did not dare to approach us for a long time. According to our arrest,
The Liao people said that they think we are the heavenly army who can make thunder, no wonder you can always defeat others easily."
Since Ma Jinhu came out of the swamp, his mouth has not been idle. As a general, especially a responsible general, fighting is one aspect. More often, their purpose is to bring all their children home safely.
.
There is nothing to say about dying in battle while killing the enemy. The saying of sacrificing one's life for one's country can be said anywhere, but it is difficult to explain why one dies for no reason. Most of the Western Army is composed of father-son soldiers and brother-soldiers, which is more important.
Friendship and friendship make us more united.
Wu Jie pointed to the wooden barrel wrapped in oilcloth in the distance and said: "I brought the gunpowder to you, but Wu Shengjun needed the gunpowder very much, so he brought less. You can put the gunpowder in a bamboo tube and tie it into a bundle, and the effect will be the same.
Very powerful.
Because we have to go through the jungle, we may not see the sun for ten or twenty days, and the gunpowder will get wet, so we need a complete gunpowder shell, I'm sorry."
Ma Jinhu whispered: "Are you really planning to attack Jiaozhi? The strength of Jiaozhi is much higher than that of Dali. I heard from the commander that the prince of Jiaozhi, Li Rizun, has already sent troops to the border of Guangyuan Prefecture, and is still adding troops continuously.
The Jiaozhi people are different from the Dali State. They have not been established for a long time, so their bravery is still there. You only need to see that their prince dares to lead troops in battle, which is very clear."
Wu Jie chuckled and said: "You'd better worry about it. Wu Shengjun never fights an uncertain battle. Since the general has made up his mind, it means that we can conquer Shenglong Mansion. When the time comes, we will bring gold and silver with us."
Don't be jealous when you return to the sea."
Ma Jinhu also imitated Wu Jie and spat blood-red saliva and said: "Why do you think we entered Dali, other than for wealth? The commander-in-chief said it nicely, saying that the Western Army needs to buy some property, how to buy it, everyone is poor
They are all turning into trousers. You are not targeting the Dali Kingdom. Don’t worry, the Western Army’s plundering methods are not in vain. When Di Shuai stood guard in Qingcheng, Qinzhou, he also plundered the Xixia people on the opposite side.
He complained endlessly, and his reputation as an old man came from that time."
Wu Jie just smiled and did not refute. The soldiers went to search. After all, they were amateurs. Where could the merchants search for professionals? Whenever he thought of those merchants in the military camp who were wearing armor and with green eyes, Wu Jie would subconsciously look at them.
A look at the dead locusts on the ground that had long since shriveled up in the sun.
At dawn the next day, after the handover was completed, Ma Jinhu took the supplies and returned to the swamp. This time, their walking postures were no longer weird, and they all put on Wu Shengjun's special underwear, preparing to accept a new round of locust bites.
"They are all good men!" Chu Dazhi said sincerely as he looked at Ma Jinhu, who was stumbling forward dragging a bamboo raft in the muddy water.
"In fact, war has nothing to do with the emperor, ministers, or even generals. As long as they don't go into battle to fight, the war has nothing to do with other people. The only ones that matter are us who are fighting. Victory is achieved with lives and small soldiers.
Life is piled up. The general knows this truth, so our Wu Shengjun’s life is more expensive.
To be honest, the general is not a qualified general, and we are not a qualified military prince. I always thought that only Lang Lige and Sun Qizhi were qualified military princes.
Talents like Luo are qualified commanders, and the rest are not worthy of mention. The only thing the general can rely on is the unity of our Wu Sheng army.
One person's strength is limited, but ten thousand people can turn the world upside down. A puddle can stumble a person, but the same puddle will never stumble a giant.
To defeat ten with one force, the general is the leader of this giant. When our strength reaches a certain level, the giant's muscles are more effective than his brain. What's more, although our leader is not a qualified commander, he is an extremely smart one.
people, this is enough. So, Lao Chu, if we want to make a difference in the military in the future, we must firmly tie the hearts of our subordinates and form little giants one by one. Only in this way can we have enough
Use your strength to deal with those conspiracies."
Chu Dazhi nodded and suddenly smiled: "I'm afraid our general is the only one who won't be angry when he hears these words of help for you, right?"
Wu Jie glanced at Chu Dazhi and said, "Don't you know Yun Zheng yet? Do you think he won't get angry? He rarely gets angry when he is embarrassed? It's just that he doesn't take it to heart. This is true."
Chu Dazhi laughed, patted Wu Jie on the shoulder and said: "When I go there, I plan to ride an elephant. You will lead the horse team. I have prepared a saddle so you can sleep on the elephant's back."
Wu Jie nodded with a smile and went straight to the cavalry team. The soldiers had already prepared their bags. Everyone was wearing light clothing, so the atmosphere in the team was much better. They shouted and returned the same way...
Yu Jing sat under the dim candlelight and muttered: "Oh my god, are you going to Linmang? That is an inaccessible place. I heard that it is full of dangers. It is full of miasma, poisonous snakes, beasts and all kinds of poisonous insects. If the poisonous snakes are
What's the point of biting a war horse?"
Yun Zheng rubbed his temples and said to Yu Jing in pain: "War horses are never afraid of venomous snakes. Besides, haven't we already collected more than a hundred elephants? As long as there are elephants, the snakes and beasts in the forest would have been there for a long time.
They ran away. As for the poisonous insects, we also have ways to deal with them. You know that my family runs a silk reeling workshop. This time I specially brought a large amount of green silk to prepare clothes and veils for the soldiers and horses. As long as there are
With something like this, you won’t have to worry about bugs.”
"What a waste of natural resources. Silk is for people to wear. What's the matter with you dressing horses? How to wear them? How much money does this require? Yun Zheng, let's not have the idea of Jiaozhi, okay? What do I think?
Is it so dangerous?”
Yun Zheng took a piece of clothing with four trouser legs from the side and showed it to Yu Jing. Yu Jing picked it up and took a look and realized that it was not for people to wear, but really for war horses.
"I have invested a lot of money this time. If the Cochin treasury cannot satisfy me, I may go bankrupt. You said that I worked hard to come to Guangnan and did not make any money. Instead, I lost a lot of money.
, how are you going to deliver errands to the brothers when you get back?"
Yu Jing gritted his teeth and said: "I still have some of the seizures you handed over. If that doesn't work, you can use these seizures to fill the holes."
Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "The seizures given to you are for you to use to silence the civil servants. After a great war, everyone should benefit. The big reason why the civil servants in the Song Dynasty look down on military generals is
The money earned by military generals will not be given to civil servants..."
"That's bullshit!" Yu Jing was furious, pointing his hand at Yun Zheng's head and yelling: "You're usually a smart man, but why do you say such stupid things? You try to bribe those civil servants with your money, but they won't do it.
It’s strange that you become a sieve through impeachment and a pile of shit when you scold!”
Yun Zheng rubbed his face with his hands and said with a smile: "So, junior, please come forward." (To be continued)
