Chapter 64: The Treatment of Big Men (Three Watches)
An indignant look flashed in Chen Ying's eyes, and his eyes were almost bursting with fire. The newly appointed Li Daozong was assassinated in Gaoping, and after Gaoping, it was in Lingzhou, and Chen Ying needed to be responsible for Li Daozong's safety. However, Li Daozong had an accident in Gaoping, and I am afraid that Li Yuan's first reaction was that he had made a ghost.
Once Li Daozong died, Li Yuan's angry anger would definitely be vented towards Chen Ying, and it would have been light to dismiss the official and go to the knighthood. Chen Ying will definitely not be a person who is tied up, but in this era, he doesn't want to be anti-Tang, and now anti-Tang is just a cheap Turk. Chen Ying is not like the people of this era, the traditional thinking that the king lets the minister die, and the minister has to die is constrained, and there is no binding force on Chen Ying.
Chen Ying thought about it, and it was definitely not right to let Li Yuan think about it. Even if he entered Chang'an alone, he couldn't let Li Yuan become a rebel.
Thinking of this, Chen Ying said to Yang Ze: "Immediately, Chen Huairen will prepare surgical instruments and medicinal materials, and go to Gaoping with the general manager!" ”
Gaoping is not far from Lingzhou, and it is not close to it. Under normal circumstances, it would take two to three days for the cavalry to arrive.
Just like the war horses under Chen Ying's command, they are basically dominated by ancient river meandering horses. With the physical strength of the Hequ horse, if you run 150 kilometers a day for three days in a row, more than half of the horses of an army will run away. If Chen Ying wanted to reach Gaoping in one day, he would have to risk at least three to five hundred war horses.
This price is a bit too heavy, and Chen Ying can't afford it. Chen Ying knew that when some of the Mongol troops were marching westward, the speed of their daily advance was between 150 kilometers and 200 kilometers, including the time of fighting.
In particular, in September 1219, Genghis Khan's two great generals, Subutai and Jebe, failed to break through the fortress due to the strong fortifications in the city when they attacked the Hualazi Moguo. Jebe led his army back five hundred miles away and rested his ranks. When the enemy spies learned that Genghis Khan's army had retreated to a distance of 500 miles, the guards in the city relaxed and relaxed their vigilance. After the Mongol army had rested for a few days, one night Jebe suddenly gave the order and led a large army to attack the city. The army marched 500 miles by night and arrived at the city early the next morning to carry out a surprise attack. Due to the unpreparedness of the city, Genghis Khan's army easily broke through the city and won a complete victory.
Traveling 500 miles overnight, even if the car does not go at high speeds, it is a big burden for the driver. However, 800 years ago, Mongolia did just that.
This puzzled later generations, because whether it was a night march of 500 miles, an advance for three consecutive months, or an average daily march of more than 150 kilometers, the cavalry did not possess. The ancient Chinese beacon special horse, is able to do 800 miles a day, but this speed is established under the complete post station system, to take the way of pulling to complete, the ancient post station interval of 20 to 25 miles, just a war horse in the case of recuperation in the case of charging speed to complete. It takes about a quarter of an hour between each station, and if the rider is fit enough, it is not a problem to travel a hundred miles in an hour. But how did the Mongol army manage such a terrifying speed?
Thanks to a program in later generations, called the Hundred Lectures, there was a group of experts who were studying the speed of the Mongolian march, and finally they really got them to study it, that is, the Mongolian cavalry did not take a galloping horse, but a walking horse.
Don't look at the difference between galloping horses and walking horses, but the effect of marching is very different. If you have friends who watch the video of horse racing, but slow down, when the horse is charging, there is always a moment when the horse is in the air, so that the physical energy consumption of the horse in the galloping process is very large. In short-distance horse racing, the kilometer distance of the war horse sprint is generally about a minute, but this is only the instantaneous speed of the horse, like a 100-meter race, but long-distance galloping, the war horse will definitely not be able to do such a speed. Walking a horse is to use a horse like a person when walking, no matter when, the horse's four legs will always have one leg on the ground, and when the horse walks at a fast speed, it can save a lot of physical strength.
Chen Ying did not have Mongolian horses under his command, and the endurance of Hequ horses was far inferior to that of Mongolian horses. Later generations in a challenge event, the Mongolian iron fork horse marched at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour for three hours without resting. In other words, in the case of horses, the limit of Mongolian horses is ten hours and six hundred miles.
However, Chen Ying had no way, he had to rush to Gaoping as soon as possible and let Chen Chunren operate on Li Daozong, otherwise Li Daozong's life would definitely not be saved.
……
Gaoping City (now in Guyuan County, Ningxia), in the second year of Yongxing of the former Qin Dynasty (358 AD), Fu Jian established Pingliang County here, which means to pacify the Liang Kingdom. In the first year of Wude, Pingliang County was changed to Yuanzhou, and it was under the jurisdiction of Gaoping, Kaicheng and Great Wall.
In the Gaopingcheng County Ya, the seventeen-year-old Tang Dynasty Sect, Qianniu Beishen, Luoyang County Duke, and Lingzhou Governor's Mansion Guanjun Rong Li Daozong was lying in the back office, his face was like gold paper, and his anger was like a gossamer.
Although Li Daozong's assassination had nothing to do with him, the Gaoping County Order, he had to bear the crime of injustice and negligence under his rule, and although his future was not ruined, he was not promoted within three or five years.
Other young and strong officials are different, Zhang Shaoting was born in Tianshui Zhang, and is a side branch of the Shu clan, he began to open the emperor in the twelfth year (AD 592), served as the secretary of the Gaoping County household, and finally survived the five county orders before and after, which from the position of the secretary office, step by step to today's official position of the county order.
He has just been in the position of the county commander for less than a month, last autumn, Gaoping County ordered Xue Junyan to die in Hedong, and it began to deteriorate in winter, and in early February of the second year of Wude, he died and died in office. Zhang Shaoting made an exception to the Gaoping County Order, and now this kind of thing is happening in the territory. Zhang Shaoting even has the heart to die.
Now that he is almost in his prime, he can retire safely from the position of the county commander of Gaoxian County, and return to his hometown in the future, and engrave on the tombstone the "Epitaph of Tianshui Zhang Gong Shaoting of the Late Tang Dynasty Gaoping County Order" He is already satisfied, but who would have thought that at this critical moment, there would be such a big leak.
Zhang Shaoting was like an ant on a hot pot at this time, turning straight ahead. At this moment, Zhang Qianshan, who is known as "Saihuatuo" in Gaoping County, came out of the room.
Zhang Shaoting hurriedly greeted him and hurriedly said: "Zhang Langzhong, how is the prince of Luoyang County!" ”
Zhang Qianshan shook his head, and said with a sad face: "Grandpa Guo's situation is very bad, although the arrow is not deep in the flesh, it is too close to the lung lobe, once the arrow is pulled, it will be ...... carelessly."
In fact, although Li Daozong's arrow wound was wounded in the heart, it was not that it was too close to the lung lobe, but that Zhang Qianshan was afraid of taking responsibility. Unlike those hospitals in later generations, in this era, it was a beautiful thing to work as a health doctor for the royal family, but this kind of life-saving work is really not a human job.
If you are saved, you will naturally be happy, but once you are uneasy, you will definitely lose your head. It is no secret that emperors in Chinese history lived shortly. The orthodox view has always been that the life of those emperors "three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines" is too erosive, resulting in general poor health, but in fact, it is not the case at all. The Tai Hospital specialized in treating the emperor's concubines, but they did not dare to use medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine is a three-part poison, who dares to guarantee that the prescription can be without any problems? Therefore, in the process of treatment, these imperial doctors are prescribing some stable prescriptions, not to mention whether they can cure the disease, anyway, they will definitely not be able to detect the slightest toxicity, and they will not die if they are allowed to eat. Therefore, if you are usually sick, you can still let the doctor help you, but if the emperor is usually sick, he can only expect God's blessing.
If it weren't for Li Daozong's identity, Zhang Qianshan would have dared to govern. But Li Daozong's key is that he is not an ordinary person, although Li Daozong is just a prince of the clan, a seventeen-year-old prince of the small country, who is nothing in Chang'an City, but he is a great man in Gaoping County.
Zhang Qianshan didn't want to risk his life to treat Li Daozong's injuries.
Zhang Shaoting didn't know about this situation, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Li Daozong is a big man in the imperial family, but because of this status, he can't get timely treatment.
