Chapter 182: Strange Things
Leaving the palace, Zhu Jie returned to his mansion.
At this time, Lin Lan, Chen Yuanyuan, and all the generals under Zhu Jie's command were all waiting for news in Zhu's mansion, and they didn't know what kind of results Zhu Jie would bring when he entered the palace again this time.
"My lord, I don't know what the results of this meeting with the emperor will be?"
Xu Yifan asked.
Zhu Jie smiled and replied, "Benefits? Of course, there are benefits, the biggest benefit is that there are four more guards to enter Beijing, plus these four guards, Tongzhou can gather the strength of the ten guards of the Ming Dynasty, rectify and train the strength of the ten guards, even if each guard, only 3,000 people remain, that is also 30,000 troops, plus, our two cavalry battalions, the strength is 40,000 people, such a strong force, enough to ensure that in the future we in the war, whether facing the Manchurian cavalry or the thief, we have the strength to meet hard! ”
"Great!"
Shu Xinchen said excitedly.
"However, Lan Tianzheng, from tomorrow, you can't be in my Tongzhou Town......"
Zhu Jie smiled at the blue sky.
When Lan Tian Zheng in the crowd heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he said urgently: "My lord, you, you are going to drive the lowly position out of Tongzhou Town, and there has been nothing wrong with this and the lowly position in the past two months, my lord, please forgive me......
"Your Excellency, Your Majesty......"
The other generals were also taken aback, what kind of thing is this my lord, as soon as he comes up, he will drive Lan Tianzheng out of Tongzhou?
"Quiet!"
Zhu Jie shouted: "Brother Tianzheng, this time it's not that the official drives you away, but that you are going to be promoted, Lord Fang Yuegong of the Ministry of War personally recommends, the emperor's will, you can see the holy decree tomorrow, transfer to Jinyiwei as the commander of Jinyiwei, next, you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders......"
"Cut!"
Yang Chengzu said dissatisfied, "My lord, you are so shocked, scared to death, I really thought you didn't want to be old blue, it turned out to be a good thing, you were promoted, a good thing!" ”
"Yang Chengzu, you're big!"
Lan Tianzheng hurriedly said, "My lord, in the past few months, I have been very comfortable working under you, and I have thrown myself to the ground for the five bodies that you admire, and I have been transferred to Jinyiwei?" Don't say that they are all in command of affairs, that is, they are all in command and all in command of envoys, and I am not uncommon! I still keep the peace of mind of adults, even if I suffer a little or get tired, I feel at ease! ”
Zhu Jie sighed secretly in his heart, and replied: "Brother Tianzheng, this transfer to Jinyiwei is not for anything else, it is to help me investigate a matter, this time I died outside the pass, because someone designed me to report to Dolgon, and as a result, Dolgon killed me, I must pull out these nails as soon as possible!" With Tongzhou Town alone, it will definitely not be possible, only with the help of the power of Jinyiwei, what, are you not willing to help me with this? ”
Lan Tianzheng suddenly realized, and said angrily: "My lord, since I want to help you do things and find out our enemies, it is incumbent on me to do this errand!" ”
"It's just that, my lord, there have been some things in the army in the past few days, and my subordinates think that they can't ignore it......"
Xu Yifan's expression on the side was a little solemn, and he said in a low voice.
Zhu Jie was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Xu Yifan said in a deep voice: "My lord, since the day before yesterday, some soldiers in the army have fallen ill one after another, and today, the number of people recorded has reached seventy-six people......"
Shu Xinchen replied with a big grin: "Yifan, what kind of thing is this?" The cavalry battalion plus the two guards of Tongzhou, Miyun and Changping, the strength of the army is already 25,000 people, and some soldiers are sick every day. ”
Xu Yifan shook his head and replied: "Xinchen, I don't feel that simple about this matter, if it's just an ordinary dozens of people getting sick, there is nothing to worry about, the important thing is that the signs of illness of these soldiers are almost exactly the same, most of them are at the root of the thighs, armpits, and neck, the skin is dark red, swollen, feverish, and extremely painful to touch, and even some soldiers have begun to have local erosions, and a few soldiers have developed severe chest pain, coughing, and a large amount of foamy bloody sputum or bright red sputum; Breathing is extremely difficult, and today another brother has died......"
"What?"
Zhu Jie stood up when he was on the ground, seventy or eighty people appeared at the same time with the symptoms of uniform characteristics, this, this is most likely the plague, and it is definitely not comparable to typhoid fever!
Zhu Jie shouted: "Yifan, what you said is real? Is that what happened these days? ”
Xu Yifan was startled, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, my lord, the earliest case appeared four days ago, and now there are more and more people, most of the doctors in the army are treating wounds, but they are not good at these diseases, and can only prescribe some typhoid heat dissipation prescriptions for the sick brothers, but it seems that there is no effect at all......
Zhu Jie faintly felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and shouted: "Nonsense! Nearly 100 people have fallen ill, and there is even a tendency to intensify, Yifan, won't you invite a doctor from the capital to go for treatment? If it's some contagious plague or disease, it's going to be a catastrophe! ”
Xu Yifan's face turned bitter, and he replied: "My lord, these days, isn't it a heavy affair, Brother Yang was imprisoned, Liuxianju was robbed, the brothers in the army were excited, and if I wasn't careful, it would lead to a mutiny, where would I dare to focus on other things......"
"Xu Yifan!"
Zhu Jie shouted: "You remember for me, nothing is as important as human life, a person's life is definitely not as important as the life of a hundred people, don't say that Yang Chengzu's life and death are unpredictable, even if my life and death are unpredictable, I will never allow nearly 100 people to delay medical treatment because of this, this is a major matter related to the life and death of the army!" ”
"Yes, yes!"
Xu Yifan had never seen Zhu Jie be so angry with his brothers, and he confessed his mistake to Zhu Jie again and again.
"Don't admit your mistake, all other things are postponed, go, all the generals in the army will return to Tongzhou, I want to see for myself, what the situation is! Lan'er, immediately prepare to invite a famous doctor, send it to Tongzhou Town, and wait for my news! ”
Zhu Jie didn't dare to pause in the slightest, if it was really a plague or something, then Tongzhou Town would suffer, nearly 100 people got sick, it was definitely an infectious disease, and it was not a minor illness like a viral flu, it was a serious illness that took people's lives!
Everyone got on their horses one after another, galloped all the way from Zhu's mansion and rushed directly back to Tongzhou Town, and as soon as they entered the big tent, Zhu Jie shouted: "Yifan sent an order, immediately gather all the patients in one camp, outsiders are not allowed to approach at will, all those who have been in close contact with the patients for a long time must also be temporarily isolated and observed, I want to see these sick soldiers immediately!" ”
