Chapter seven hundred and thirty fourth: Jane is in the heart of the emperor
Everything is simple. I heard that it was going to provide disaster relief. Many people from the new army in the country became excited. Their daily exercises were too boring. For them, no matter what happened, they were more comfortable in the camp.
Ye Chunqiu and Wang Shouren explained some things and slept with her. This time it was an emergency appointment, so everything was mainly about speed and other things need to be put down temporarily.
The next day, just as the sky was dawn, the Hanlin Academy sent an urgent memorial. Ye Chunqiu, the Hanlin Academy, took office under such circumstances and accepted the imperial edict. Ye Chunqiu did not ride a horse, and there were not many cattle and horses in the army, so his novice was also used to transport some supplies. The hundred students were fully armed. In addition to weapons, they were hung on their bodies with iron pots filled with water, with more than a dozen kilograms of fried rice and dried and hard steamed cakes trembling.
As soon as the Chaoyang Gate opened, the hazy moon had not yet fallen, and the group of people came out of the Chaoyang Gate. The fully armed students quietly and slowly set out towards the Xuanfu.
These strange people are enough to attract the attention of others. Who would wear this outfit when you go out? I am afraid that if you are fully armed, it will be less than 40 or 50 kilograms, but these people are walking on flat ground.
It was early summer now, and when the sun rose, I felt a little hot. Ye Chunqiu didn't care and asked to go urgently. These people practiced day and night and had already experienced all the hardships of the world, and could still survive.
If you walk like this, it will take about seven days to reach Xuanfu along the official road. However, if you walk quickly, you can reach it in three or four days, and fast horses will only take one day.
Ye Chunqiu arrived in Datong in a hurry and ordered it to be urgently done. He led the way and ignored so much. When he was tired, he asked someone to rest. After a while, he made a fire and boiled the water, he dried meat, dried and hard steamed cakes, and fried rice in hot water, and ate it on the spot.
At this time, Wang Shouren had to admire Ye Chunqiu. At that time, Ye Chunqiu deliberately asked the chef to put less or more salt on the chicken, duck, fish and meat. The chefs he hired were all a group of terrible cooking skills. Therefore, although the food in the new army was rich, most of them were difficult to swallow. If these soldiers had not consumed a lot of physical energy, most of them would be difficult to swallow. But now, halfway through the march, they only ate fried rice, steamed cakes and jerky meat. The students of the new army actually feasted and shouted happily, as if such food had become delicious in their eyes.
Ye Chunqiu... Wang Shouren put the dried meat into his mouth. He didn't see the gentleness that Confucian scholars should have, but he also thought the dried meat tasted very good. The most important thing is that it is not light and does not add too much salt, so he even ate it with relish.
After replenishing his physical strength, he continued to march. Even when it was night, Ye Chunqiu would never stop. On the one hand, he followed the official road, and on the other hand, the new army in Zhenguo is rich in nutrition, so almost no one suffers from night blindness, so it is okay to walk at night.
On the other side, a fast horse was quickly sent to the capital with a hurry to report.
When an urgent report came to Liu Jian's desk, Liu Jian's exhausted face suddenly collapsed.
Datong discovered the smallpox epidemic just a few days ago. Although measures were taken, hundreds of people had already occurred in just a few days. After the earth collapse, the epidemic became even stronger. In and outside Datong, the victims and patients infected with smallpox have lost control. The most terrifying thing is that even if the earth collapses, the army stationed in Datong can still be controlled. However, at this time, even the army began to appear in the army, and even the morale of the army began to shake. Once the morale of the army is shaken, the disaster that Datong is about to usher in will inevitably be a catastrophe.
Liu Jian looked at the urgent report and looked miserable, thinking for a long time without saying a word.
He realized that the impact of this land collapse could no longer be solved by relief.
More than 100,000 soldiers and civilians, countless people were homeless, and they encountered the epidemic again. I don’t know what the situation was that the creatures were suffering. Liu Jian’s body trembled and had never been so powerless. He opened his mouth and said with difficulty: “Please come, you guys, and... go and report a letter. We are going to meet Your Majesty.”
So not long after, seven or eight important officials of the court sat in the warm cabinet.
Everyone's face was ashen, and the bad news brought by Datong made people feel despair.
Datong is a major city. The collapse of the ground and the epidemic means that the ** is about to begin. The desperate victims and the smallpox-infected epidemic people will inevitably lose control in complete despair. When the ground collapses, the army can be stabilized. However, once the epidemic comes, the gathering of the government troops is a high-incidence area of epidemic disease. What will happen when a group of officers and soldiers realize that they may be in short order?
Natural disasters and plagues have already been caused, and these three attacks are enough to destroy the entire Datong.
This is the bridgehead for the Ming Dynasty to resist the threat from the north. After a few months, when everything passes, it means that there is no one in a thousand miles. If the court wants to rebuild Datong, it will inevitably migrate the population and reorganize the customs defense.
In recent years, money and grain expenditures have already reached their limits, and everything... is developing in the worst direction, and one disadvantage will cause another disadvantage, which is enough to shake the foundation of the country.
Zhu Houzhao is still in the future. At this time, everyone is sitting here waiting for His Majesty and still can talk a few words, but now, no one has the intention, and everyone has a gloomy face and silent.
Of course, some people are really worried about the country and the people, while others are pretending.
When Jiao Fang saw the report, he knew that his intention had succeeded. He didn't care about Datong. There were many Datongs in the Ming Dynasty. As long as he was a bachelor of the cabinet, as long as Ye Chunqiu died in Datong.
The plague does not recognize people, and... the chaos brought about by the plague is enough to make Ye Chunqiu the target of public criticism, so... Ye Chunqiu came to Datong and became a self-destructive person.
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao quickly walked over. When he saw the masters all looked as if they were ashen, he was full of surprise. He suddenly felt something was wrong and asked, "What happened?"
"Your Majesty." Liu Jian said with difficulty: "There has been a plague in Datong..."
Buzz...
Zhu Houzhao's mind was buzzing. A plague occurred at this critical moment, which was almost equivalent to a catastrophe.
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say, "Then...what is Ye Aiqing..."
Everyone present knew that Ye Aiqing was referring to Ye Chunqiu, but no one expected that at this time, Zhu Houzhao would suddenly ask Ye Chunqiu.
However, this inevitably made some of the people present feel dissatisfied. At this time, Zhu Houzhao first thought of the safety of a Hanlin attendant. (To be continued.)
