Zhu Jie's life was not comfortable for a few days, he had just crossed the New Year's pass, and then another thing came, this time, it was a 100,000 urgent event!

Early in the morning, Zhu Jie came to the barracks to watch the musket shooting training of the Chinese infantry battalion, and now after half a year of preparation, the Firearms Bureau has produced 1,200 flintlock muskets in one go, and there are 100,000 projectiles.

Although these guns are still far from one in Tongzhou Town, but the training is barely enough, the Chinese infantry battalion of three or four thousand infantry, training in turns, each infantry battalion training for three days, training in turns, now the training has been close to a month, these infantry have mastered the skills and essentials of flintlock musket shooting.

At this time, a fast horse galloped directly into the military camp in Tongzhou Town!

"Lord Zhu, Lord Zhu! The emperor is urgent, summoning you to enter the palace immediately! ”

On the war horse, Cao Huachun was sweating profusely and shouted urgently.

Zhu Jie raised his eyebrows and said in amazement: "Father-in-law Cao, what's the matter, so anxious?" Wasn't it okay yesterday? ”

Cao Huachun smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Zhu, something happened, just now Henan came to seven hundred miles to expedite, and the thieves made trouble again......

Zhu Jie was shocked, turned around and shouted: "Come on, prepare the horse!" ”

Zhu Jie ran all the way to the Forbidden City, met Chongzhen, and when he entered the Qianqing Palace, Fang Yuegong, the secretary of the military department, and several other ministers were already waiting in the Qianqing Palace.

"Minister Zhu Jie see the emperor!"

Zhu Jie hurriedly bowed and said.

"Zhu Jie, don't be formal!"

Chongzhen's face was a little gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Just now, Henan Governor Ren Jun and Sun Chuanting have sent seven hundred miles of urgent documents, you can take a look." ”

Zhu Jie hurriedly took the paperwork.

Chongzhen sighed: "The plague in the Gyeonggi area has just dispersed, and now the plague has spread to Henan, which is really a headache. The plague is raging, and I don't know how many people will suffer; At this time, Sun Chuanting sent another 700 miles urgently, Li Zicheng after half a year of cultivation, sent troops to Henan again, the soldiers pointed directly at Runing Mansion and Nanyang Mansion, Sun Chuanting was ready to raise troops to the north, and once again beat the thieves, but now Henan has been fighting for many years, and the people's livelihood is in difficulty, which is not enough to support Sun Chuanting to fight a big war in Henan......"

Zhu Jie was taken aback suddenly, just Li Zicheng went north, but there was nothing, as long as Sun Chuanting was not constrained too much, he would naturally be able to resist Li Zicheng's attack, but now Henan has encountered the plague at this time, which is even worse!

Wait a minute!

The plague has just spread to Kaifeng?

Zhu Jie's heart trembled, Sun Chuanting's army entered Beijing in Kaifeng, if the plague in Kaifeng spread, the 100,000 Ming army would definitely be infected, once the plague broke out in a large area, then Sun Chuanting would be unlucky!

"Your Majesty, Sun Chuanting has been pulled out now? He didn't have the emperor's will, so he sent troops directly? ”

Zhu Jie asked urgently.

Chongzhen was stunned and said: "Zhu Jie, don't you even forget this, Kaifeng is thousands of miles away from Beijing City, and the intelligence transportation is inconvenient, I have already granted him the right to act cheaply since the Shaanxi and Henan War, the governor of Sun Chuanting, didn't he already say it in the recital?" Count the days, I'm afraid it won't take more than ten days to set off now......"

Ten days!

Ten days is enough for Sun Chuanting's army to advance from Kaifeng to the vicinity of Nanyang, so it won't be long before he has to deal with Li Zi......

Zhu Jie's face was solemn to the extreme, you must know that the plague infection has an incubation period, and you can't see any problems in the early stage, from infection to onset, it takes nearly a month to get sick, but once it happens, it won't take a few days to be bedridden, or even die directly!

If it is really Sun Chuanting's army that is infected, then there is a good show to watch, when the army is dispatched, there is nothing to do, there is nothing on the way to the army, but it has arrived in Nanyang, and the soldiers of the Ming army have fallen one after another, so don't you want Sun Chuanting's old life?

Thinking of this, the cold sweat on Zhu Jie's forehead was already pouring out!

"Zhu Aiqing, Zhu Aiqing, tell me, how should this matter be handled?"

Chongzhen saw Zhu Jie's solemn face, beads of sweat faintly appeared on his forehead, and he felt more and more that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked.

"Your Majesty, this time Inspector Sun sent troops, I'm afraid that it will be more auspicious and less auspicious......"

Zhu Jie replied astringently: "The power of the plague is too great, now Kaifeng Mansion has begun to spread, and Inspector Sun's army is stationed in Kaifeng Mansion, once it is infected by the plague, he will enter Nanyang again, and when he arrives in Nanyang, he is only afraid of the outbreak of the plague, and the main force of Inspector Sun's army is only afraid that there will be one out of ten, how can he beat Li Zicheng's army?" ”

Hiss......

Whether it was Chongzhen, the ministers standing in the hall also gasped!

If it is really as Zhu Jie expected, not only is Sun Chuanting's Qin army finished, but also the entire Henan will be finished, and it will definitely be swept away by Li Zicheng's army!

"W-How is this good?"

Chongzhen said urgently.

"Your Majesty, this is not the most serious, Inspector Sun led an army of 100,000 to the south, all the way through densely populated areas, will bring the plague all the way to Nanyang, when the time comes, the entire Henan Province will be shrouded by the plague epidemic, and nearly 10 million people in Henan will suffer......"

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice again.

Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair in a daze and asked, "This, Zhu Aiqing, what should we do now?" Do you have any good strategies? ”

Zhu Jie smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, there is no good strategy now, Sun Chuanting has already gone up, even if we send seven hundred li to expedit, by the time the holy decree reaches Sun Chuanting's hands, he has already arrived in Nanyang Mansion and is face to face with Li Zicheng." It's too late, it's definitely too late, what we can do now is to immediately allocate money and food to ensure the logistics supply of Henan, and at the same time, allocate a large number of herbs and medicinal soap protective gear to Henan to control the plague epidemic......

The corners of Chongzhen's mouth twitched, a lot of silver, it's going to be thrown out again!

"Deliver the decree, immediately allocate 300,000 taels of silver and 100,000 stones of grain from the treasury and transport them to Kaifeng Mansion, Zhu Aiqing, how many herbs can you prepare now?"

Chongzhen asked.

Zhu Jie shook his head and replied: "In the past two months, the production of medicinal herbs and medicinal soap protective gear has not been interrupted, and Tongzhou Town now has 150,000 packs of medicinal herbs, 300,000 medicinal soaps, and 300,000 protective gears, of which a large part of the soldiers in Tongzhou Town should be left, and the rest can all be transported to Henan......
