Chapter 38: The Prince's Rebellion
It is true that Gu Dan knows many ways to prevent diseases, but what is the use if he cannot do it?
To put it simply, do not drink raw water in the wild, which can greatly reduce the probability of acclimatization and the impact of diseases.
However, is this possible?
The generals were all fools. They didn't understand that the raw water outside might be poisoned? Or that it naturally contained toxins?
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers want to drink hot water, where can they find such conditions?
It is not easy to have a hot meal every day!
Experience is constantly summarized in cognition and practice. It is not that you can do the right thing, but you must have the conditions first! In the second year after the army set out, Yuzhou had been cleared and pacified. General Zhang did not hesitate to march south and entered the territory of Daqing! The real battle began.
As expected, just as Andy Hui judged, the war became tense from the very beginning.
Soldiers often lose their combat effectiveness before the battle due to acclimatization. These are the key issues that the imperial doctors need to find ways to solve, and are also the primary reason for bringing them along.
In the third year of fighting in Daqing, the problem of overly long supply lines had begun to become more serious.
General Zhang had his share of wins and losses, and he was not always able to anticipate the enemy's moves.
The most dangerous time was when the enemy almost broke into the wounded camp and the enemy's heads could be seen from afar. Gu Dan had already carried Andy Hui on his back and was ready to go first.
Fortunately, another group of people arrived and avoided the final tragedy.
War is dangerous and it is no exaggeration to say that war is a dangerous and dangerous thing.
There were two major epidemics during the period, but fortunately solutions were found in the end and they did not cause too much loss.
The people in the Imperial Medical Bureau did their best to complete their tasks.
It is said that Daqing has already started sending people to the Dayue Dynasty to discuss the Yihe issue.
"The fight is almost over."
As the leader of this expedition by the Imperial Medical Service, Andy Hui has some say.
He was occasionally invited to meetings, so the information was not cut off.
"The food and grass transportation has reached its limit. If we continue to fight, it will be a life-threatening situation. Medicines in the army have become increasingly scarce recently. Without supplies, no one can help." Andy Hui finally made a conclusion.
This time I followed the army into the battle without any danger.
When Gu Dan heard the news, he couldn't help but smile.
Staying in the wounded soldiers' camp for three years was a torture to my heart.
Andy Hui has gray hair and is no longer young.
The climate here is too warm and humid, and it rains frequently.
Although there are a steady stream of wounded soldiers waiting for him to treat every day, he is really tired now.
Sure enough, a month later, Daqing sent envoys to Dayue to discuss peace.
Although the two armies are still facing each other, the intensity of the fighting has been greatly reduced.
After fighting abroad for such a long time, most of his ambitions must have been worn away.
Finally, Daqing decided to pay a certain amount of annual tribute to Dayue, and the army began to turn back.
When this news reached Gu Dan's ears, there was cheering all around.
After being away from home for three years, countless soldiers missed their hometown.
Gu Dan could only hope that they would not be away from home for three years and their child would not be two years old.
After returning to Dayue, General Zhang went to the palace to meet the emperor, and that was the matter above.
This year was the thirty-third year of Emperor Zong Ming's reign. The faces of the people around the imperial city did not look very good, and the prosperous atmosphere was a bit less.
Without staying in the military camp any longer, Gu Dan couldn't wait to return to the Mo family martial arts hall.
After three years of absence, the Mohist Martial Arts School is still open.
When Xiong Qihu saw Gu Dan, he came up to him with great excitement and gave him a bear hug. "Glad you're back, glad you're back! I'll ask the chef to prepare some delicious food. We won't leave until we're drunk!"
"Nothing has happened in the past three years, right?" Gu was worried but finally relieved.
Fortunately, after a great battle, the final result was good.
"There is something that is somewhat related to us. The Mohists have declared war on the Taoist priests of Qingfeng Temple. Of course, the so-called declaration of war does not mean a fight to the death, but is mainly focused on debate."
Xiong Qihu immediately told the latest news.
After three years of war, the trend of seeking immortality and enlightenment that was originally started by Emperor Zong Ming was extinguished.
The Mohists, led by Mo Qiu, took this opportunity to quickly launch propaganda efforts to promote concepts such as Ming Gui and Tian Zhi. Qingfeng Temple was no longer favored by Emperor Zong Ming.
At least during the three years of war, Emperor Zong Ming did not hold any grand fasting and sacrificial ceremonies.
From the twelfth year of Emperor Zong Ming's reign to the thirty-third year of his reign, a full twenty-one years have passed.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Emperor Zong Ming is no longer young. Even if he has not let go of the obsession in his heart, he should be more or less prepared.
"Oh, there's one more thing!"
Xiong Qihu pulled Gu Dan aside and said mysteriously, "General Zhang's wife is the daughter of Ying Liang, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. And Princess Yu is his younger sister! With this relationship, everyone says that General Zhang will support the Fourth Prince, Prince Yu."
"This kind of thing"
Gu Dan frowned. He only cared about returning home safely, and paid little attention to the court. "The crown prince has already been appointed, so there shouldn't be much to happen."
As early as the twelfth year of Emperor Zongming's reign, when the second prince offended the emperor in the Yangxin Palace, the eldest prince's status as the crown prince had already been determined.
This concerns the foundation of the country, and there are more than 20 years of cause and interest at stake. How can we change it just because we want to?
Unless you directly raise an army to force the palace!
According to Gu Dan, General Zhang obviously did not have such an idea.
"We just heard about it. Anyway, it's widely spread outside."
Xiong Qihu shrugged his shoulders, obviously not caring much about who would be the crown prince. He just regarded it as a joke.
Gu was startled with worry.
Xiong Qihu was not a man with a delicate mind. Even he could receive such news and secretly tell it. How would it spread outside? I'm afraid it's not that simple! As expected, at the celebration banquet held by Emperor Zong Ming for General Zhang, the prince rebelled!
The counterattack was quick and unexpected.
He had been the crown prince for more than twenty years, but he could no longer sit still just because General Zhang returned victoriously.
However, this rebellion was put down in the blink of an eye, just the time it took to eat a meal.
He actually wanted to take advantage of this banquet to capture Emperor Zong Ming and General Zhang in one fell swoop, but the idea was good and the reality was cruel.
When Gu Dan received the news, his face was full of disbelief. He never expected that someone could be so stupid.
If you continue to be the crown prince for another twenty years, won't the throne still be yours?
Why are you in such a hurry? "The Fourth Prince is really going to become the Crown Prince now, Xiaoyi." Xu Zhian ran to Gu Dan to drink, and even he almost couldn't hold the wine cup steady at the table.
What does it mean to become a phoenix by flying up the tree? ! From an ordinary female doctor in the Imperial Hospital, marrying into the royal palace can be considered marrying up.
Now that we are in power, the future is bright.
The Imperial Hospital, it seems like good times are coming! Overall, this is actually a really good thing for the Imperial Hospital! (End of this chapter)
