A few days later, everything was arranged, and Lao Hu also set foot on the way out, and he said to the lady that the dart game was arranged again, and this time the dart time would be longer. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

His mother, Sun Huiniang, did not doubt it, after all, her husband was like this in the past, and the length of the dart was uncertain, so she only instructed as usual: "Official, be careful on the road." ”

Lao Hu said: "I know, let's go." ”

He walked a few steps, but he couldn't help but look back, and saw his wife looking very concerned, she was still touching her stomach with one hand, and when she saw him, she smiled sweetly at him.

Lao Hu strode away, he didn't dare to look back, afraid that he couldn't help crying, or didn't dare to go, he only secretly felt ruthless in his heart: "Lao Tzu will come back alive, Lao Tzu will come back alive to see my wife, see my son, definitely!" ”

He strode to the Taixing Gate in the west of the town, and the ministry had arranged that he would take a dart board with Kong San and Huang Weijie to Zezhou in Shanxi. It was bustling with the sound of people neighing horses, and many dart boards were converging, ready to go their separate ways.

The snowflakes fell, and Lao Hu's heart was still in a trance, echoing his wife's parting words from time to time, as well as that kind of concerned look...... Just as he was in a daze, he suddenly heard a slightly hesitant voice: "Are you ...... Old Hu? ……”

Lao Hu's heart was shocked, he turned his head suddenly, and saw a few people in front of him, they were so familiar, he rubbed his eyes, and shouted in surprise: "Heimao, old bandit, is it you?" ”

There were several people in front of him, one of whom had a few black hairs on the side of his mouth, and one of whom had a scar on his face. Isn't it the black hair in the team in the past, who are they?

Seeing Lao Hu's appearance, they also exclaimed in surprise: "It's really you." ”

The brothers hugged each other affectionately, laughed, and said, "So you didn't die." ”

The reunion of the old people was full of joy, and Hei Mao said: "Lao Hu, I got married, and now I am in the Zhenwu Dart Bureau, which Dart Game are you in?" ”

Lao Hu said: "I am also married, and now I am in the Dart Bureau." That's right. Where are you going......"

Hei Mao said excitedly: "Go to Mobei, Lai's family hired us, and we are going to make a big deal, and we will fight the trade route all the way to the Beihai Sea......"

Lao Hu said: "Beihai, ......"

At this time, there was a lot of shouting. The darts are ready to be drawn. Someone is calling over there. The black fur shouted, "Come on, your grandmother's." ”

He said to Lao Hu: "It's too late to say more, that's right." This is my name post, and when I come back, our brothers will reunite, and I will see my sister-in-law. ”

He asked for Lao Hu's name sticker, and then a few hurried over there, while running, Hei Mao waved at Lao Hu, his mouth opened and closed, as if to say: "...... Be sure to get together ......."

Looking at the large stack of famous posts in his hand, Lao Hu muttered: "I hope to get together." ”

The palm of his hand was put away, and the name card in his hand was pinched into a ball by him, and seeing Kong San waving over there, Lao Hu shouted: "Come on, your grandmother's ......"

He ran over and threw a cloud of waste paper on the ground.

……

After Sun Chuanting was appointed as the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi, he was soon followed by the imperial court and appointed Hou Sui as the superintendent.

After the Ming army was defeated in Zhuxian Town, Ding Qirui was imprisoned, and Wang Qiaonian and others were killed in battle, the situation in Henan was out of control, and now Tongguan is defended, but most of the thieves have gone to Runing Mansion in Henan.

They looked at it again and found that if they wanted to help Runing Mansion, even if the thieves captured Runing Mansion and intended to go south to Huguang, only Zuo Liangyu in Xiangyang could resist it, and no matter how disgusted Zuo Liangyu was in their hearts, they had to pinch their noses and win him over.

Considering that Zuo Liangyu had committed the crime of robbing military uniforms when he was young, he was stripped of his official position and succumbed to the ranks of pawns, and was later given military power by Hou Sui, and emerged in the campaign to aid Liao, and since then he has been promoted to a general.

With this encounter, he should have a good impression of Hou Sui, so Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, and specially released Hou Sui, who was imprisoned for something, and gave him the title of secretary of the military department, and appointed him to supervise the military affairs of Henan, Baoding, Shandong, and Hebei, and to govern the "Ping Thief" and other towns to aid and suppress the officers and soldiers.

As soon as he was released from prison and took over, he immediately went to the imperial court and put forward a comprehensive strategy for the use of troops.

He said: "The troubles have accumulated for fifteen years and have become big, and they must be planned for a while. From Qin to Yu, Fu Zonglong was defeated, and Wang Qiaonian was defeated, and all the strong soldiers and horses in the world were thieves. …… The thieves rode tens of thousands of horses, drifting like wind and rain, passing through the fortified city, because of the soldiers. The officers and soldiers only asked what they wanted, and they were hungry. Even with the spirit of the sword, it is not possible to make the county order of the closed city go out to see it, transport a bunch of swords, and feed a piece of rice, so it is often frustrated. ”

“…… Therefore, for today's plan, Gou has a definite opinion, Mo Ruo to Henan Commission, so that Baoding Fuchen Xu Biao, Shandong Fuchen Wang Yongji North Moat, Fengyang Fuchen Ma Shiying, Huai Xu Fuchen Shi Kefa south to curb the thief Chong, and Qin Governor Sun Chuanting Saitong Pass, the minister rate Zuo Liangyu Gu Jingxiang, so this is cut off its road to escape. ”

Hou Sui's recital was praised by the emperor, and after Sun Chuanting followed, Hou Sui was also summoned by the platform, and then gave a banquet to Shang Fang Sword.

At the same time, in Kaifeng City, Cao, Wang two earls again asked to return to the town, was originally Sichuan Zunyi General Army, now was deprived of Liu Chao has also been on the book, willing to lead troops to aid Kaifeng, Runing and other places, and because of the Baoding General Soldier Hu Dawei died in battle, the General Army is vacant.

Liu Chao was so loyal and commendable that he was willing to take the initiative to go to Henan, and Emperor Chongzhen appointed him as the chief soldier of Baoding, and went to Henan to allow Cao and Wang to return.

……

October of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Suzhou.

Jiangnan has always given people the impression of a hazy ink painting scroll, with small bridges and flowing water, and apricot blossoms in the smoke and rain, just like a poem with beautiful rhythm and ethereal imagery.

Especially in Suzhou, the revetments, arch bridges, water alleys, neat and narrow stone streets, long but deep winding alleys, fishing songs and smoke, shuttle small caravans, smoke and rain shrouded in aura, just like the paradise in many people's hearts.

However, at this time, Wu Youxing was walking on the streets of Gusu City. But I couldn't help but be sad and gloomy, the homeless beggars everywhere, the hungry people everywhere, the faces were full of vegetables, the clothes were in tatters, and the people who sold their children and daughters could be seen everywhere.

Even in the secluded place on the corner of the street, there were a few corpses lying dead from freezing and starvation from time to time, and the third-class officials and the people were just numb to clean up.

People say that the people of Gusu are cute and prosperous, and the streets and alleys are endless. The product is vast. The hub is full of people, but year after year, how can there be the prosperity of the past? Where is it still the earthly resort with heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou in the past?

What smoke and rain are hazy, and even ghosts are gone.

There have been severe droughts in the north. Jiangnan is no better. The spring and summer of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen. Suzhou Prefecture has no rain and locusts, and the price of rice is as high as four taels of silver per stone.

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, there was another great drought. The price of rice is more than one stone and four taels, the hungry people in the monasteries are more and more gathered, and the city gate and alley mouth abandon the children for a group, or someone leads them away, or regards them as stiff to death, and the floating corpses can be seen rolling in the river from time to time.

In his hometown of Wu County, the price of rice is as high as one stone, four taels and five dollars of silver, countless people have died of starvation, the old children have abandoned the road, the urban and rural houses are half empty, and the dead are pillowing in the suburbs.

Just as terrible as hunger is the plague, and in every great calamity, the plague always comes.

In recent years, there have often been epidemics in the north and south, Shandong, Zhejiang and other places, and Suzhou is very serious, and even last year's epidemic, there were more than 100 families in one lane, none of them were exempt, dozens of people in one door, and none of them survived.

As a doctor, isn't Wu Youxing sad?

In the face of the plague, many doctors used typhoid fever to treat it, but it had no effect, Wu Youxing based on each epidemic he had experienced, deduced the source of the disease, devoted himself to research, and boldly put forward the theory that "anger" caused the disease.

Over the years, he has been concentrating on compiling the book "Treatise on Warm Epidemics", which contains detailed records of diphtheria, smallpox, leprosy, syphilis, tuberculosis, epidemic encephalitis and other infectious diseases.

It is divided into two volumes, the first volume gives a detailed description of the pathogens, and the second volume puts forward its own treatment principles for the characteristics of various diseases such as epidemic, epidemic dysentery, women's epidemic, and childhood epidemic.

Recently, he has also added more abundant plague diseases, such as hair disease, macrocephalic plague, shrimp membrane plague, melon plague, pimple plague (plague), as well as malaria, dysentery and other acute infectious diseases characteristics and treatments.

After years of hard work, he saw that "The Theory of the Epidemic Warm" was coming to an end, but what worried Wu Youxing was that he didn't have enough money to publish and print.

No, he had just returned from the Department of Medicine, but the officials and doctors in the department said that they couldn't help.

These medical officers have been appointed and dismissed by the Tai Hospital, not to mention the promotion and wealth over the years, but they are often in arrears, and many people have no last meal, so they have to make a living, how can they have spare money to help Wu Youxing?

They only gave Wu Youxing advice and asked him to go to the homes of the gentry, especially some famous families in the city, maybe they took a fancy to his masterpieces and were willing to pay for them to be printed.

Wu Youxing only smiled bitterly, his "angry theory" is very different from ordinary medical theory, many gentry and doctors are dismissed as ridiculous, he just ran to the government to ask for help after hitting walls everywhere, how can anyone be willing to pay for printing and publishing for him?

With a heavy heart, he walked to his residence, Wu Youxing is more than fifty years old, and his face is clear, but because of excessive thinking, he looks like he is over the age of six.

His residence was quite remote, the more expensive Suzhou was, and most of the income from practicing medicine was replaced by decoction and distributed to everyone, causing his residence to become more and more humble, and he moved again and again, and perhaps after a while, he would have to move to a more remote corner, or even move outside the city to live.

The streets and alleys are narrow and winding, and there are many peddlers and pawns, as far as the doctor is concerned, it is insulting to get together with these people, but Wu Youxing doesn't think so, the doctor's parents' hearts, in the eyes of the doctor, should only be patients, and there should be no humility.

Of course, comparing hearts to hearts, maybe some gentry and great doctors can't look down on Wu Youxing, but the people in this area are grateful to him.

From time to time, someone passed by to give him a respectful salute: "Mr. Ke." ”

"Is Mr. back again?"

Wu Youxing smiled and returned the courtesy, entered October, there was quite a chill inside and outside the city of Suzhou, people said that Hetang picks lotus in July, Tongyin begs in August, admires the moon in Qiongtai in September, appreciates chrysanthemums in late autumn in October, but this Hainan Island will snow in winter, and the chrysanthemums are still replaced by snow.

Walking to the door of his small courtyard, Wu Youxing was stunned, as if his boy in the courtyard was talking to someone: "Nong said how to do it, the pimple is good." ”

He pushed the door in, and sure enough, there were four people in the courtyard, one was a boy who boiled medicine by himself, and the other three, one was dressed as a scholar, one was dressed as a langzhong, and one was dressed as a rich businessman.

Seeing him come in, the medicine boy jumped up: "Mr. is back." ”

The middle-aged man dressed as a wealthy businessman came over, and said with a smile on his face: "Dare to ask, but Mr. Wu and Mr. Wu?" ”

There seemed to be some Northland accents in his words. (To be continued.) )
