Chapter 115 Seeing the trick, dismantling the trick
When Li Yutian came to the courtyard where Li Yan was handling affairs, Li Yan was drafting documents related to various departments of the Supervisory Government.
So Li Yutian took the opportunity to learn about it.
He found that Zhu Yurao's Supervisory Palace was somewhat like a simplified imperial court, but it had many differences.
Currently, the Supervisory Office has four secondary departments: the Military Affairs Office, the Government Affairs Office, the Metropolitan Inspectorate, and the Legal Affairs Office.
A number of third-level departments are established under each second-level department.
For example, the Government Affairs Office temporarily has nine departments: the Financial Secretary, the Civil Affairs Department, the Official Selection Department, the Ceremony Department, the Education Department, the Agriculture Department, the Industry Department, the Commerce Department, and the Transportation Department.
However, according to Li Yan, currently only the first three divisions have people, and the other divisions are just names.
As for the third-level departments of each of the other three second-level departments, Li Yan did not tell Li Yutian more.
Li Yutian was afraid that it would involve some secret that he shouldn't know, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
When Li Yutian completed the entry formalities at the Civil Service Selection Department, where Li Yan was temporarily in charge, and was about to find a place to stay outside the palace, the red lady came with a general.
The red lady didn't mean to avoid Li Yutian, she frowned slightly and said: "Dozens of officers and soldiers came outside the east gate and had their right hands chopped off and their ears and noses cut off. According to Zhou Da's interrogation, it was all done by Zhang Xianzhong in Chongqing.
.”
Hearing this, Li Yan and Li Yutian both realized that the problem was not small.
Li Yan looked at the general who came with the red lady and asked: "Have you ever asked Zhang Xianzhong how many officers and soldiers he killed in Chongqing?"
The commander said: "We didn't ask, but the officers and soldiers who escaped said it themselves. Zhang Xianzhong chopped off the right hands and cut off the ears and noses of nearly 10,000 captured officers and soldiers.
He also ordered them to come to Chengdu and said that if they saw them elsewhere in the future, they would be killed without mercy."
After hearing this, Li Yan frowned even more tightly.
Although he realized that this matter was not simple from the beginning, he did not expect that the problem would be so big.
The red lady said bitterly: "This Eight Great Kings is really nothing! If I catch him in the future, I will give him eighteen hundred lashes!"
Li Yutian wanted to show off, so he bravely said: "Director Li, Zhang Xianzhong's move can be said to be three things in one, it is extremely vicious."
Although Li Yan already had some ideas, he still asked after hearing this: "How can you kill three birds with one stone?"
Li Yutian said: "First, these disabled soldiers who were released came all the way west, and their miserable appearance was seen by the officials and soldiers of the prefectures and counties along the way, and the rumors of Zhang Xianzhong's cruelty would inevitably spread.
When Zhang Xianzhong comes to attack in the future, these officials and soldiers will be frightened by the news and may surrender directly to the city.
Secondly, the arrival of these disabled soldiers in Chengdu will definitely make people in Chengdu panic, fearful and uneasy.
Even the soldiers guarding the city will feel frightened, their courage to fight will be frustrated, and their morale will suffer a big blow.
Thirdly, even if only half of the nearly 10,000 mutilated soldiers come to Chengdu, the government will be involved in a lot of energy, manpower, money and food to accommodate them.
But we cannot ignore these disabled soldiers, otherwise the blow to military morale may be even greater.
A few years ago, I often heard people say that among the tribes of thieves, second only to Li Zicheng, was the Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong. He was ruthless, cunning, fierce and stubborn. His handling of captured officers and soldiers shows that his reputation is well-deserved."
At the end, Li Yutian sighed with emotion but also showed a hint of fear.
Li Yan felt that the room seemed to be getting hotter and stuffier, so he picked up a folding fan to fan himself and said: "It is hot summer now, and wounds can easily fester and become infected with evil spirits. I am afraid that not even one-third of the mutilated soldiers can make it to Chengdu."
have."
Li Yutian said: "Even if there are only two or three thousand people, it will be a big trouble."
The red lady heard the disdainful tone in Li Yutian's words, and immediately became unhappy and said: "What, you still want to ignore them?"
Li Yutian hurriedly said: "This is not someone in Xiaguan District who is engaged in energy management. It should be decided by the supervisory state."
Li Yan stood up and said to the general: "Go and tell Zhou Da and other gate guards that if you see anyone with a broken hand or missing an ear or a nose, you must keep him and don't let anyone enter the city or run around elsewhere."
.”
"yes!"
The general responded and left.
Li Yan said: "Hong Niang will go with me to see the prison country. Li Zheng will follow if there is nothing else."
After hearing this, Li Yutian wanted to say that he had something to do. He had just arrived in Chengdu and was so tired that he didn't say anything. He didn't even arrange a place to stay.
But he knew very well that Li Yan was now the first minister of the Supervisory Office, and he did not dare to disobey, so he could only nod with a wry smile.
When Li Yan came to Chengyun Hall, Zhu Yuyao was sorting out the information collected from her inspection of various yamen in Chengdu Prefecture in the past few days.
It is not only to understand the functions and personnel of these yamen, but also to see how these yamen will be used in the future.
After hearing what Li Yan had said about the soldiers who had been killed, Zhu Yuluo and Hao Guangming on the other side realized the seriousness of the problem.
Hao Guangming said: "If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid it will severely damage the morale of the Chengdu defenders, and the officials and people in the city will also feel frightened and uneasy."
The situation was urgent, and Li Yan and the Red Lady knew about Hao Guangming's existence. Zhu Aona did not shy away from it. After hearing this, she immediately nodded and said: "I know."
Li Yan, the red lady has become accustomed to Zhu Aao's phone calls with Hao Guangming.
Li Yutian was shocked and confused.
I thought to myself, who is the princess talking to? Li Yan or the red lady, why are they not answering the conversation?
On the other side, Hao Guangming continued: "But you don't need to panic. This matter is a crisis and an opportunity - if it is handled well, it will increase the morale of the Chengdu defenders and make them braver to fight."
"Then what should I do?" Zhu Yuyao asked.
"Come back here and listen to me explain in detail."
So Zhu Aona said to Li Yan, the red lady: "Please wait a moment, I will go and discuss this matter with my consort."
After saying that, he disappeared directly from the throne.
Although Li Yutian had heard from Ma Ke that the princess had supernatural powers, he was still shocked when he saw it. His legs were so weak that he almost collapsed on the ground.
Fortunately, Li Yan saw the clues and supported him, so that he didn't make a fool of himself.
Li Yan said: "Don't spread the matter about Her Royal Highness to outsiders without orders."
"The official knows, the official knows." Li Yutian agreed repeatedly.
After calming down, he thought of another question: Did the princess just say that she wanted to discuss with the consort? Could it be that the consort was actually a god in the sky?
As for the explanation that the princess went to the afterlife instead of the fairy world, Li Yutian also didn't believe it - the later generations can't get treasures like magic lamps, right? Only the fairy world is possible.
Waited for about a quarter of an hour.
The three of them saw two figures appear on the throne, but it was Zhu Aina who came with Zhu Aoshan, both of them holding a cardboard box in their hands.
Zhu Aoshan put down the cardboard box and disappeared at Zhu Aosheng's signal.
Zhu Yu'ao said: "These two boxes are medicines that can treat traumatic infections, that is, golden wounds."
Seeing Li Yan, the red lady showed excitement upon hearing this, and Zhu Ya'ao hurriedly continued: "Listen to what I have to say - although these two medicines come from later generations, they do not necessarily cure all trauma patients.
There are many kinds of medicines in later generations, and doctors, that is, doctors, often need to prescribe medicines according to the patient's condition and provide targeted treatment.
Although I was able to obtain some medicines from later generations, the doctors of the Ming Dynasty did not know how to use these medicines, and I was unable to teach them for the time being.
Therefore, the medicines of later generations can only be used for emergencies and cannot be used casually. Otherwise, if used incorrectly, the patient will die.
As for those soldiers who were maimed by Zhang Xianzhong, we should set up a camp for wounded soldiers, bring them all into the camp, and organize doctors to treat them with Ming medicine and medicine first.
Some doctors are sure that the patient cannot be saved and are letting him try these two drugs. Do you understand?"
Li Yutian was still in shock and could not speak for a while.
Li Yan and Madam Hong dissipated their excitement and nodded together: "I understand."
Zhu Ainao nodded.
In fact, there was another reason she didn't say.
The reason for this was pointed out by Hao Guangming - if those people are given medicine from later generations, and people die if they use the wrong medicine, even if they are cured, if the news spreads, I am afraid that in the future, soldiers and even officials and civilians will suffer from injuries and illnesses.
Think of her.
However, Zhu Aelao was not a fairy who could cure all injuries and illnesses.
Firstly, the types of medicines that Hao Guangming could obtain in later generations were limited; secondly, Zhu Yurao and Zhu Yushan had limited transport capacity; thirdly, neither Hao Guangming, Zhu Yurao nor others in the Ming Dynasty knew how to use the medicines of later generations.
Finally, there were countless injured and injured people in the Ming Dynasty. How could Hao Guangming and Zhu Aona help them all?
To save the Ming Dynasty and save the people of the world, it is useless to rely solely on Zhu A'ao to transport medicines for future generations.
