Chapter 41 Strain(3/3)
The problem still lies with military preparations and Lu Yihao.
Among them, there is no need to mention military preparations. After all, the south has suffered some losses. It is always a troublesome thing to complete the army deployment. And Lu Xianggong has been in Tokyo for half a month, and it has caused chaos in the court hall.
, there is no way to compare with the determination to unite as one and fight against the Zhao Guan family in the north.
On the one hand, this husband's temper really made everyone feel uncomfortable. Not only did Zhang Jun suddenly find that he couldn't make the decision in everything, it was also uncomfortable to save everyone.
On the other hand, of course I can't bear to go up and down the uncomfortable situation, especially since Zhao Guan's family hasn't been back for a year. When I come back, I will bring one Lu Yihao plus a hundred spares. Who dares to relax? Besides, Lu Yihao is not without tricks...
Not to mention anything else, if you want to be a military governor of the German Army, do you want what the officials give you?
As a result, the bullets and articles were intertwined, and they kept coming, but they didn't go to the newspaper.
Of course, why did Lu Xianggong fear this? Besides, he asked himself that he had no regrets. Could it be that he could really rebel after taking over this Jiedushi? Therefore, whoever impeached him would certainly be a villain who selfishly brought trouble to the imperial court, and then
Anyone who wears shoes that day will have to wear shoes.
The officials who couldn't give him the shoes would scold and refute him in front of Zhao Guan's family and all the prime ministers!
On September 1st, Zhao Guan's family took Lu Yihao out to inspect the river defense. It was not so much that Dayu passed through the house without entering, but rather that he ran away with his head in his arms.
After all, just as Qin Hui and Qin Xianggong judged, it would take time for the imperial camp here in Zhao Jiu to make final preparations, and it would also take time to put the autumn grain into storage and then transport it to the warehouses along the Yellow River, so Wang Yan's military plan had already been arranged.
It is clear that unless a huge unexpected event occurs, the formal Northern Expedition will be launched after the ice melts and the water rises after spring.
And the current actions and propaganda are indeed intimidating the opponent and using them as a strategy to tire them out.
All in all, in the post-autumn period, both sides were making large-scale military deployments and preparations. Although small groups were fighting everywhere, the Yellow River had not yet entered the dry season, and the presence of the imperial navy allowed the Song Army to always take the strategic initiative.
However, there has never been any major incident that suddenly got out of control.
September 13th, it has been thirteen days since the Zhao Guan family left the capital again, and more than ten days have passed since the meeting at the Shangshutai of the Kingdom of Jin... In the early morning, in Enzhou, Hebei, on the old path of the Yellow River, a group of elite Jurchen cavalry hurriedly left.
A ford passed through, and the horses' hooves splashed countless water, making these elite Jurchen knights covered in water.
However, after boarding the east bank, no one paid attention to the water stains on their bodies, but they just kept escorting a middle-aged Jurchen nobleman in his forties with a sallow complexion towards Qinghe City a few miles away.
When we arrived at the gate of Qinghe City, it was already dawn. A group of knights galloped to clear the way, whipped open the gates, and the soldiers poured directly into the city, and then went straight to the county government office. They were surprised to learn that the county government had rushed out to greet him, and then personally took the government servants to the place where Wu Dalang was cooking cakes in the county.
They brought all the freshly cooked cakes from the family and offered them to the Jurchen nobles.
Wu Dalang's family's cooking cakes are famous in Hebei, and the quality goes without saying. However, when this group of people saw so many hot cooking cakes, they did not wait any longer. Instead, they divided and packed the cooking cakes and filled them with purified water.
, and left in a hurry.
At this time, people in the county knew that the one who had just arrived was the Jin King of the Kingdom of Jin, the so-called Generalissimo Wanyan Youliduo, commonly known as the Third Prince. Just because Zhao Guan's Long Wei arrived in Yanggu opposite Liaocheng, the Generalissimo did not dare to
He was so lazy that he immediately came from Zhending Mansion in person, intending to go to Daming Mansion to take up command in order to confront Zhao Guan's family.
Not to mention that this news made people in the county panic, and they were talking about it. Even Wu Dalang's family did not dare to ask for money for cooking cakes. It was just that after Yan Liduo traveled all night, he had cooked cakes on the horse for breakfast, so that
He kept galloping throughout the whole journey, obviously wanting to reach Daming Mansion within today.
As a result, there was retribution for such abuse of the body - four large cakes were mixed with cold water, and Yinliduo felt some cramping in her abdomen.
At this time, the third prince did not pay attention. He immediately ate. It was so bumpy and cold the whole way. This kind of thing was normal. It was not like he had not experienced it before, let alone being tired after a night. Besides, the military situation was urgent. Where could it be?
Can you take a break for this?
However, after beating the horse and walking for several miles, the cramping pain in the abdomen still continued, and gradually concentrated in the lower part of the right abdomen. At this time, Yinliduo could no longer bear it, so he gave the order to slow down. But the beating of the horse was slow,
After walking for a while, many of the cavalrymen who had also eaten hastily and suffered from abdominal pain were relieved. However, the third prince still felt that his abdomen was heavy. When he pressed it with his hand, he could clearly feel the pain.
At this time, Yinliduo finally did not dare to leave, and immediately made it clear to the attendants, and the attendants naturally knew that this was a sudden illness, and then panicked... You know, as mentioned before, since Aguda, many Jurchen nobles are in their prime.
However, it is true that the foundation is not good, there are too many examples... not to mention the sudden illness itself is very scary these days.
Therefore, the Jurchen cavalry did not dare to let Nianli Duo stay on the horse anymore. Instead, they directly made a hammock between the two horses and escorted their third prince to the nearest town, which was called Ninghua Town.
Find the largest house in the town, rush in, blow away the people, and then settle down on the spot.
At the same time, three teams of cavalry were divided. One team was looking for a doctor on the spot in the town, one team was looking for a medicine shop and a hospital in Qinghe County behind them, and the other team was heading directly to Daming Mansion to march with Daming Mansion.
The meaning of getting in touch with Si Dutong Gao Jingshan.
However, in Ninghua Town, these Jurchen cavalry turned over the entire street and killed seven or eight people, but they could not find a doctor. When asked one by one, they all said that there was originally a master of internal medicine who later fled to the Yue Family Army opposite.
Become a military doctor.
Even though the Jurchen cavalry can kill people, there is nothing they can do at this time.
At the same time, the third prince's symptoms became more and more obvious... First he felt a slight sweat and a slight fever, then he felt a heavy abdomen and frequent urination. The leader of the personal guards pressed it with his own hands, and the softness and hardness of the left and right abdomens were obviously different.
At this time, the third prince himself and the knowledgeable people among the personal guards basically all guessed that it was probably because he ate the cakes too quickly in the morning and developed intestinal carbuncle!
I also felt helpless and nervous.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, the official Ximen who opened a drug store in Qinghe County was arrested together with three of his own doctors. The diagnosis results were all intestinal carbuncle... and it was probably an acute bad carbuncle, that is, the severity of the bumps.
, the kind caused by something entering the vermis (appendix).
After understanding what was going on, the doctors also arrived. The third prince himself and several guards relaxed a little, and then calmed down to use the decoction, which is rhubarb and peony decoction... This point has a little medical common sense.
Everyone knew it, and some of the guards also knew it, and the local officials from Qinghe who came with him also said so... Of course, the third prince had nothing to say.
So, the guard watched the medicine being taken with his own eyes, made the rhubarb and peony soup by himself, and helped the third prince drink a dose. Sure enough, he felt better for a while, and it was said that the pain was relieved.
In the evening, people from Daming Mansion finally came. They saw that although the third prince had a fever, his pain was gradually subsided, he had spoken some words in person, and he was awake, so he relaxed a little.
At this time, the third prince took another dose of decoction, and the pain seemed to be lessened. He finally cheered up and ordered some gold to be rewarded to the high official from Ximen who came to take pulse again.
Let’s say that at this time, Ximen, a senior official from a well-educated family, wanted to tell these people that if their stomach doesn’t hurt, it may not be getting better, but it is probably going to suppurate. If you have a surgical expert, you should prepare for an injection...
However, holding gold in his hands and thinking about the bloodstains on the streets of Ninghua Town during the day, how could he dare to speak proactively?
Besides, how can it be so easy to perform an operation these days?
It’s also a gamble!
And once he opened his mouth, he couldn't find a doctor in a hurry. It must have been him, the high official Ximen, and a few doctors who were sitting in the hospital to perform surgery and acupuncture... But they were sitting in the medicine shop, and they weren't good at surgery either?
So, that night, the senior officials of Ximen thought about it and felt that they could not stay here to wait for death, so they did not discuss it with several doctors sitting in the hall, but carried the gold on their backs and took advantage of the night to pay attention to the situation.
Those attendants took advantage of the opportunity for the Third Prince to "get better" and relax, so they secretly climbed over the wall and went out... Then they didn't even return home. They just ran to the Yongji Canal with the gold on their backs, found a boat, and then fled all the way to the northeast.
Early the next morning, the third prince's pain improved even more. When he took the decoction again, he was surprised to find that the high-ranking official from Ximen had escaped. He quickly called the three doctors sitting in the hall to jointly diagnose his pulse... At this time, the three doctors looked at each other in confusion.
Knowing the reason, they all spoke frankly, saying that the third prince's pulse was urgent and his abdomen was hard, and he was afraid that his intestines were suppurating.
It is recommended to use a knife and needle.
The Jurchens were stunned, but it was true that the high-ranking officials from Ximen had escaped, and they had to believe it, so they called the three men to use swords, but they said they didn't know how to do it.
How could the Jurchens believe them? I asked them several times, but they all said no, so they beheaded them all.
As a result, in the afternoon, the third prince's intestinal carbuncle gradually became as hard as iron, and the pain became unbearable. In a hurry, he couldn't find a doctor, so he had to take rhubarb and peony soup. As a result, it didn't relieve it at all, and he couldn't even go to the toilet.
painfully.
I went to ask the more and more local officials, surrounding generals, and experienced people who had gathered together at this time, and they all said that it was time to take action... So I went to find the doctor again, but unexpectedly the news had already spread, and people around
All the doctors had lost their money and fled... In the end, I had no choice but to find a Khitan doctor from the army and let him administer the needle.
The Khitan doctor was also innocent. He obviously only knew how to dance the magic and use herbal medicines, but now he was asked to use needles, otherwise he would die. So what else could he do? He was so wild that he called out "Green Bull and White Horse" and then directly injected the needle.
Insert it into the hard part of the Third Prince's right abdomen.
As a result, a foul-smelling thick juice flowed out through the flesh and blood on the spot, and the third prince's complexion softened slightly.
Everyone thought that the third prince had been saved, but unexpectedly, that night, His Highness King Jin first had a fever, and then started to shiver again in the second half of the night... He looked bad, but there was nothing he could do except boil rhubarb and peony soup.
And at dawn, which was the third day after the third prince suffered from carbuncle, when Gao Jingshan arrived in person with a good doctor from Daming Palace, he found that the third prince's face was flushed due to fever, he was no longer conscious, and he was even talking nonsense.
The thick water in the abdomen was still gushing out intermittently, along with the surrounding wounds, which were black and red and swollen like a meatloaf.
I finally woke up for a moment, but I just cried out that I was cold. I reached out and touched my forehead, but my forehead was hot.
Gao Jingshan privately inquired several good doctors from the Daming Palace who he had brought. They were silent for a long time. After all, it was the veteran Wanhu. The current head of the Bohai clan, who was used to seeing storms, kept calm while thinking about what was about to come.
It was windy and rainy, so I went directly to write a memorandum of apology to Yanjing.
In the evening, after finishing writing the memorial, the third prince had another seizure. His teeth were chattering, his whole body was hot, and the stench was overwhelming. However, he finally died in Qinghe County without waiting for the full moon to rise on September 15th.
He died at the age of forty.
Poor the third prince, he actually lived a few months longer than in history. If he really had a spirit in heaven, he might have wished he had died with Wu Qimai half a year earlier.
"Who is dead? Say it again, who is dead?"
On September 18th, on the south bank of the Yellow River, in the Wushan camp of the imperial camp opposite Liaocheng, facing the son of the magistrate of Liaocheng of the Jin Kingdom who had fled overnight, Zhao Jiu was dumbfounded, as if he had been struck by lightning, and then suddenly woke up. "You should be honest."
Am I Cao Mengde?! Are you here to be Kanze?! What benefits have the Jurchens given to you and your son who have forgotten their ancestors?!"
