Chapter 254: Cao Cao arrived
Li Zicheng's army has not completely withdrawn from the city of Kaifeng Mansion, and the elite of the Ming army has already rushed into Kaifeng Mansion from the north city, chasing and killing all the way from behind the ass of the intruding army, unstoppable!
At this time, the morale of the invading army is in turmoil, morale is low, and there is no resistance at all, run, run! Run as fast as you can!
At this time, even if the gods descended to earth, they could not save the fate of failing to break into the camp!
It can be said that since Zhu Jie came to Kaifeng, Li Zicheng's good luck has been exhausted, followed by endless bad luck and nightmares, Sun Chuanting suffered a few days ago, and now it is Li Zicheng's turn to taste.
Yang Chengzu, Shu Xinchen, and Qin Mufeng led the elite cavalry of the Ming army, pursued all the way, and chased out a distance of more than 30 miles before they stopped the pursuit and returned to Kaifeng Mansion.
In just half a month, Kaifeng Mansion changed hands again!
Among the governor's yamen, the generals of each battalion were all very excited, but Sun Zhixiu and others were very worried.
"My lord, although we have snatched back Kaifeng Mansion, but Kaifeng Mansion is now plagued by the plague, if we stay here for a long time, I am afraid that we will inevitably be infected again, when the time comes, what if Li Zicheng kills us back?"
Sun Zhixiu asked in a deep voice.
"Back to the pistol?"
Zhu Jie said with a smile: "Mr. Sun, don't worry, everything is in my control, isn't it the plague, it won't take long for me to let this plague disappear invisibly, of course I know, do you think it is really so easy for us to capture Kaifeng Mansion?" This is Li Zicheng and others deliberately let us, they have suffered a lot in Kaifeng City, and they want us to suffer again, but unfortunately, we can control the plague in Beijing City, and the plague in Kaifeng Mansion can still be controlled! ”
As he spoke, Zhu Jie looked at Yifan and said: "Yifan, immediately send an order, dispatch the generals and soldiers of the army, collect all the corpses in Kaifeng City, cremate them in a centralized manner, and bury them, the sooner the better, tomorrow I will inspect the whole city, and I shall not see any dead bodies on the street, post notices, no matter who it is, if someone in the family dies, it must be filed immediately, buried as soon as possible, and reduce infection!" The second thing is to take out all the medicines in the army, and prepare to treat the sick people in the city, free of charge, without charging a single tael of silver! ”
Xu Yifan was stunned and said: "My lord, this cremation and burial of the body is easy to do, anyway, we have people, and it won't take more than a day to dispose of them all; The question is, the second thing, to treat all the sick people, where are the herbs that we bring with us? You must know that the number of sick people in Kaifeng Mansion is close to 100,000! And you don't charge a fee, what do we do with the huge amount of money we consume? Where to find it? You can't take the soldiers' salaries to help the epidemic, right? ”
Zhu Jie shook his head and said: "Yifan, you have to understand that in the whole of Henan, what is the most important thing now!" It's not money, it's people's hearts! Over the years, Henan Province has been plagued by natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the people of the imperial court have lost their hearts, if we do not do our best to save the hearts of the people, do you think we can appease the land of Henan Province? That's a joke at all, what's more, the imperial court has allocated 300,000 taels of silver, although it has been ruined a lot by Ren Jun and others, but there are still 200,000 taels of silver that have been recovered, and when pursuing Li Zicheng, he also took back 20,000 stone of grain, with this money and grain, it is enough for us to deal with the situation in front of us! ”
"But!"
Xu Yifan scratched his head and replied: "It's okay to say that we can say money and food, it's a big deal to really transfer some of the army, and I think the soldiers can also accept it, but what about the herbs?" In Kaifeng Mansion, even the people plus the soldiers, as well as the surrounding disasters, the herbs we need are not much less than when we were in the capital, and the plague has spread, even if it is cured, there is a possibility of recurrence, these herbs in Kaifeng Mansion alone are not enough at all......"
Xu Yifan said well, when he was in the capital, these things were handled by Xu Yifan's hands, he was different from Yang Chengzu Shu Xinchen, those two people can only fight, and they don't know how to govern the place, but Xu Yifan is an all-rounder who knows how to prevent and control the epidemic in the capital, almost all the drugs in the Gyeonggi area have been consumed, and now Kaifeng Mansion has come out again, where can it withstand such a toss? Now where to look for medicinal herbs?
Ha ha......
Zhu Jie smiled: "Yifan, now that you know that there is a Qizhou in the Gyeonggi area, don't you know that there is also a Yuzhou in Henan?" One south and one north, plus Bozhou in the territory of Nanzhili, this is the three major production areas of medicinal materials north of the Yangtze River, and the output of medicinal materials in Yuzhou is even higher than that of Qizhou! Just to prevent and control the epidemic in Henan, these herbs are enough! Chengzu, the last time you purchased medicinal materials was organized by you, this time you are still in charge, send a cavalry battalion to Yuzhou, immediately purchase medicinal materials according to the prescription, don't be afraid to spend money, even if it costs 100,000 taels of silver, you must buy enough medicinal materials back! ”
Zhu Jie doesn't know anything else, but Zhu Jie knows the four major pharmaceutical capitals on the land of China, the four major pharmaceutical capitals of contemporary China are Anguo, Yuzhou, Bozhou, and Zhangshu, four places, almost control more than forty percent of the medicinal material market in China, and the history of producing medicinal materials in each place is more than 800 years.
Even if the medicinal materials of Yuzhou are not enough, Bozhou in Anhui is not too far from Kaifeng, and it is Bozhou after Guide, and there are also a large number of medicinal materials! It is only four hundred miles away from Kaifeng, although it is said that the Guide Mansion is still under the control of the Chuang army, but a thousand cavalry in Bozhou, it is now enough to go sideways, and some of the remaining Chuang army will never dare to provoke such a cavalry!
"Yes, sir!"
Xu Yifan and Yang Chengzu hurriedly agreed.
"It's just, my lord, two days ago, you just cut down Ren Jun and others, and now there is no one in charge of the Third Division of Henan, and the governance of the entire Henan has almost fallen into paralysis, what should I do?"
Xu Yifan said sadly.
Zhu Jie was also helpless for a while, who called these bastards so nonsense, not killing them is not enough to make the people angry!
"Wait, it won't be long before the helper assigned to me by the emperor will arrive, and when the time comes, I won't be so passive......"
Zhu Jie said helplessly.
While he was talking, a personal guard ran in and said urgently: "Lord Governor Qiqi, someone outside the door asks to see him, saying that he is an official who came to Kaifeng to take office by order......
