The cabinet ministers discussed the next military deployment. Two moments later, they collectively came to the Qinzheng Hall to ask for an order.

Zhu Youlang is reviewing the memorial, Gu Yanwu and Yang Ai are serving him.

When the eunuch reported that the cabinet ministers were invited to see each other, they couldn't help but laugh, put down their pen and handed their hands to Li Hong. Li Hong quickly knelt down and rubbed them for him.

"What's wrong? Is the fire in the room? Please see you collectively? Xuan!"

The little eunuch hurried out and brought the ministers into the hall.

The ceremony was over.

When Zhu Youlang saw that Wu Bing and others were all solemn, he couldn't help but say, "Why are you so serious? Could it be that the Qing soldiers captured Shaoguan?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, here is a memorial handed over by Zengcheng Bo. Please read it to your Majesty." Chen Zizhuang took out the memorial and presented it with both hands.

Li Hong was rubbing Zhu Youlang's hands, Yang Ai went over, held the fold in his hand, and turned it over to Zhu Youlang.

Zhu Youlang was indeed furious and wanted to raise his hand to slap Long Shu's case, but Li Hong was grabbing his right hand, and he didn't slap Li Hong in the face.

"Bang!"

With a crisp sound, Li Hong's left face began to swollen.

"Looking for death!" Zhu Youlang cursed.

Li Hong was so shocked by the emperor that he was dizzy. He heard the emperor scolding him for seeking death. He had done something wrong since he was scared and he was so scared that he quickly fell to the ground, pounding his head like garlic, and he didn't dare to speak.

The emperor was angry, and the ministers, Gu Yanwu, Yang Ai and the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall all knelt down quickly, calming their hearts and not daring to show up.

Zhu Youlang stood up, paced back and forth on the Danban with his hands behind his back, and his anger slowly subdued.

At this moment, his heart was both painful, regretful and hated.

What hurts is that Li Yong was tortured, and I don’t know if he could survive; what regrets is why he was so careless? Why did he send envoys to surrender Mandahai? Or was he blinded by victory and forgot the nature of the jackals in the Qing army; what hated was that Mandahai. Do you not abide by the rules of the two countries’ war and unsuccessful envoys? Wouldn’t it humiliate Li Yong to humiliate the wise and great ones?

"Don't worry about anything else, Li Yong must be saved. Such a loyal and upright minister cannot die, nor should he be regarded as dead." Zhu Youlang thought to himself.

He was born in traditional Chinese medicine. Although his medical skills were not very good, he also understood that burns and scalds were extremely difficult to heal, especially under the conditions where medical skills were not very developed today, it was easy to cause inflammation, ulceration, and even tissue cells were necrosis.

He quickly searched for the famous prescriptions in his memory in his mind, and suddenly thought of a book called "Collection of Special Effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine Prescriptions" he saw in his previous life, which had extremely detailed treatment plans for burns and scalds.

While recalling, I took a piece of rice paper and wrote a prescription: "One pound of talc, two liang of borax, two liang of keel bone, two liang of keel bone, four qian of Fritillaria, cinnabar, and borneol. Usage: Grind fine powder and mix into a paste, apply it to the affected area, and change the medicine once a day; if new granulations grow excessively, they must be removed."

After finishing writing, I saw Li Hong kowtowing and his forehead was blue.

"Li Hong."

"I'm here."

"Go to the Imperial Hospital to issue an order, and Ye Zifan immediately set off to Ganzhou to treat Li Yong's injuries. Give him this prescription and ask him to bring all the medicinal materials he used. If there is any shortage of medicine, go to the inner warehouse to find it."

"I obey the order!"

When Li Hong heard this, he thought to himself: "Oh, it turns out that it's not my fault. A slap is a fire at the city gate, which will affect the fish in the pond. Is it wrong or not?"

However, I thought my life was going to be gone, but now I know it's not my fault. I was so amnesty that I quickly took the prescription and went to the Imperial Hospital to pass the imperial edict.

"Xuesong, I have envoyed, and the Qing nu Li Prince Mandahai insulted our envoy Li Yong, with his tragic means and outrageous. Insulting our envoy is no different from insulting me. I will kill the nine tribes of Mandahai to make this humiliation. All the troops of our Ming Dynasty will immediately launch an attack on the day of the imperial edict. Please surrender and not accept it, and kill this villain." Zhu Youlang ordered.

"I obey the order!" Gu Yanwu, Yang Ai only realized the reason for the emperor's anger because Mandahai used extraordinary means to humiliate Li Yong.

"You all stand flat. Jisheng, tell me, how will Mandahai use troops next?"

After saying these words, Zhu Youlang's anger calmed down a little, slowly sat back on the dragon throne, and ordered the ministers to get up.

Chen Zizhuang looked at Huang Zongxi with gratitude and replied confidently: "When you go back to your Majesty, I think that Mandahai will inevitably break through. The situation in Jiangxi is that our army separates Mandahai and Luke Dehun, and our army in Shaoguan also has 100,000 troops ready for battle. Therefore, the Qing soldiers from these two places must not dare to go. I think that Mandahai will have the idea of ​​breaking east or west, and in these two directions, I think that the possibility of breaking east is the greatest."

“Why?”

"The west road is Hunan, and Funanbo and Dingbeibo defended the important road of Jingxiang, and there was also the Yangtze River blocking the road, so they could not pass. If you want to break through, you must go west to Guizhou and enter Sichuan through Guizhou. Hunan, Guizhou, although our army has not many troops, there are many mountains and rivers, and blocking them step by step, it will definitely cause severe damage to the Qing army. Compared with the west road, the east road is much easier. Fujian, my troops are empty, and in Zhejiang, except for Quzhou, they are all under the hands of the Qing army. If Mandahai goes east, you only need to bypass Quzhou and go north quickly. Although Jinghaibo held 100,000 troops in Nanzhili, if Mandahai joins the battlefield, Jinghaibo will be unable to deal with it."

"Therefore, I think that Mandahai will definitely be the idea of ​​going east to Fujian and going north at the right time." After Chen Zizhuang finished speaking, he was calm and full of confidence.

"Well. Your analysis makes sense. However, I think it is completely opposite to yours. I think Mandahai will definitely fight westward and enter Guizhou through Hunan."

Zhu Youlang ordered Yang Ai to pull open the map on the east wall, point to the various place names on the map, and said: "If the Qing soldiers go east and then turn north, because there is a sea in the east and a Yangtze River blocking the road in the north, no matter how many Qing soldiers have, it will be difficult for them to break through this natural danger, let alone Shi Lang has 100,000 troops waiting for battle. According to Shi Lang's Tang report, I judge that Nanzhili will be departed within the month."

"If you break through the west, you can enter Guizhou and Sichuan. Although the journey is long, as long as you bypass Jingxiang, you will have the possibility of escaping back to Sichuan. Hunan and Guizhou have many mountains and rivers, but there are no insurmountable natural dangers. Therefore, I judge that Mandahai must have made this idea."

After Zhu Youlang finished speaking, he returned to the dragon chaise and sat down.

"Your Majesty, I dare not agree. If I take this road, it will be too far, and their food supply will become a problem. I think they will never take this road, and anyone with some military knowledge will not take this road." Chen Zizhuang was not convinced.

Zhu Youlang thought to himself: "Hehe, it's so strange, right? There was such an army in later generations who wanted to take this road. It was just because of the blockade of the Sichuan Army that he did not enter Sichuan, but entered Yunnan, climbed snow-capped mountains and crossed grasslands, left the enemy's pursuit, and entered the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region. The difficulties they encountered were much greater than this, and Mandahai really couldn't rule out taking this dangerous road."
