After hearing Gu Zhenhua's words, Wu Youke was so scared that he suddenly jumped up from his seat.
"Duke Ji, I am studying medical skills to cure diseases and save people. We say we are different and do not plan together!"
After saying that, Old Man Wu turned around and was about to leave. Gu Zhenhua did not allow such an old baby to run away. He grabbed Wu Youke's sleeve.
"Mr. Wu, killing evil people is a good idea. The Tartars poisoned the Central Plains. How many people have killed? Every day, hundreds of people are unwilling to shave their hair and die, and more people have become slaves! You are right to be a doctor, and you are not willing to kill people, but have you ever thought about it? Killing one person and saving a hundred people, killing ten thousand people, is it just a billion trillion people. Do you not do such a thing?"
Wu Youke's face was twisted and his facial features were condensed together.
After a while, the old man shook his sleeves fiercely, "Duke, although I have figured out the cause of the plague, spreading the plague is not a small matter. I remember when the Yuan army attacked the Central Plains, it once threw filthy objects such as corpses and feces into the city, causing the people to get sick. Now, this is the reason why those disease-causing insects are thrown in! Now, if the Duke wants to create a plague, how should it spread? Is it someone who is quietly carrying it to the Qing army's barracks? Will the people who carry it in danger? Besides, how can the plague be controlled and it will not spread everywhere? If the Qing army is not killed, it will cause thousands of people to suffer. What kind of face should I have to live in the world!"
After hearing Wu Youke's words, Gu Zhenhua also scratched his head. Biological weapons were things from the first battle. Now I want to make them out, it's too advanced!
What's more, how to transport and disseminate are huge problems. Maybe if you don't get close to the Qing army, your own people will die. After all, the plague is not a fun thing.
Gu Zhenhua was thinking in his heart. Suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Mr. Wu, do you think there is a kind of plague that the Han people are not infected, only the Manchus are infected!"
"How is this possible? The way of heaven is always there. If you don't live for Yao, you won't die for Jie. If you are born, old age, sickness and death, even if you are the king of heaven, you will be the same..."
Wu Youke was talking, but a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, "Can you be talking about smallpox?"
Gu Zhenhua laughed: "That's right. It's smallpox!"
Originally, the Qing Dynasty was outside the pass, with few people, and they did not have many infectious diseases in the Central Plains. It is precisely because of this that they lack resistance.
After entering the pass, many high-ranking officials and generals of the Qing Dynasty died under the smallpox. It was precisely because of their fear of smallpox that they chose Kangxi Xiaomazi as the emperor. In addition, the Mongolians did not enter the pass, which was due to their fear of smallpox.
Recalling the risk of creating a plague is too high, but spreading smallpox is different, and the feasibility and safety are both increased exponentially.
"I think smallpox is also spreading this kind of small thing. Just get some from the patient's skills. Then let people who can get through smallpox to the north, and try to get in touch with the high officials and powerful people of the Qing Dynasty, and it is indeed quite possible to get them infected with smallpox."
Wu Youke couldn't help but murmured: "If you have to pass smallpox once, you won't get it again, and you can avoid hurting innocent people. It's really hard for you to come up with such a good idea!"
"Mr. Wu, I am also a doctor and my parents' heart. You can only save people, not harm people!" Gu Zhenhua teased Old Man Wu with a smile.
Wu Youke stared at the eyes and said, "Hmph, my parents are treating their children. When facing a group of Tartars, I am not that stupid. I am worried that the plague will hurt innocent people. Besides, you who are in power are all cruel and ruthless. I am afraid that one day, for their own power, they will use these things to harm their people!"
"Mr. Wu, don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen. An Guojun's sword will always be only aimed at the enemy!"
Wu Ke rolled his eyelids, "I believe you once, I'll go find a few smallpox patients and take off the scabs and pus from their bodies. How to spread it to the Qing army? It's up to you, Duke Ji, to worry about it."
"No problem, I'm here to be a sir."
After seeing off Wu Youke, Gu Zhenhua was quite satisfied with his plan. Kangxi's little pockmarked son had smallpox. It can be seen that this infectious disease is widely present and will not be discovered easily. It is a must-have for home travel and killing people and robbing goods!
"Dali, go and call Wu Kaijie over."
Kang Dali agreed, and soon Wu Kaijie was called over.
"Dude, what are your instructions?"
"You go and notify the Military Music Department to select a group of the best storytellers and let them go north immediately and find ways to get in touch with the powerful and wealthy people of the Qing Dynasty. The higher the level of contact, the better. In addition, I will buy another batch of ready-made clothes shops, silk shops and the like, which is of great use!"
"Dude, are you trying to spy on the Qing Dynasty's information?" Wu Kaijie smiled and said, "I want to say that the ready-to-wear shops are not as good as wine, food and tea shops. There are too many people there and there are many words, and there are more information you can get."
Gu Zhenhua glared at Wu Kaijie fiercely, "Stop shaking in front of me, do you know what Ben Jue uses these ready-to-wear shops for?"
"Do you make money by selling clothes?" Wu Kaijie also felt something was wrong and hurriedly shut up.
"The ready-to-wear shop is sent to the God of Death!" Gu Zhenhua sneered: "Don't ask too much, go and do it honestly. Remember to get the best quality goods. The more Eight Banners nobles attract, the better!"
"Abide by the order!"
Wu Kaijie was thinking about it, but he couldn't guess that Gu Zhenhua wanted to use these shops to spread the smallpox! This is the gap in the vision of the times, and it cannot be made up for by any intelligence.
After the arrangement was made, Gu Zhenhua also felt much more relaxed.
In the next few days, Sun Cheng, Li Xu, Guo Yunlong and others brought their troops to Henan one after another. Gu Zhenhua's troops suddenly exceeded forty battalions, and the total force reached more than 20,000. After some training, the new recruits are now quite mature and can be fought.
Now An Guojun is full of essences and has unprecedented strength. On the second day after everyone arrived, Gu Zhenhua officially convened everyone and held a military meeting.
All the generals of the Anguo Army, including the staff and logistics personnel, as well as the surrendered generals who had just surrendered, got together. Everyone sat upright, looking at each other without looking sideways. They knew in their hearts that a real war was right in front of them.
Gu Zhenhua is also wearing military uniforms and is particularly serious.
"Everyone, I believe everyone knows that Wu Sangui led the Qing army to fight. We are going to fight the traitors north of the Yellow River. In addition, the Dashun Army also went north to head north and prepared to fight the Qing army in northern Shaanxi. This is a life-and-death battle related to the fate of China. Everyone here, including me, must be prepared to sacrifice at any time. We cannot let our efforts be wasted, and we cannot let the Qing army occupy the Central Plains calmly."
"Don't worry, Duke, we are sure to attack the Qing army and defend the mountains and rivers!"
"good!"
Looking at the full morale generals, Gu Zhenhua was also particularly excited. This is where his confidence lies!
"Listen to everyone, in order to adapt to the needs of the war, the Anguo Army was to expand. The original organization of the first battalion of about 500 people could no longer meet the needs of the war. My Lord decided to set up a regiment-level system based on the battalion, with each regiment under its jurisdiction. During the war, several regiments joined forces to form a legion to fight."
As Gu Zhenhua said, he asked Wu Kaijie to deliver the new reorganization plan to everyone. According to Gu Zhenhua's design, the artillery battalion remained unmoved for the time being. After the three cavalry battalions supplemented a certain amount of troops, they expanded into two regiments. The first regiment was equipped with the standard equipment of the Polish winged cavalry, and the regiment commander was appointed by Yue Polu. The second regiment was mainly reconnaissance and the regiment commander was handed over to Li Nian.
First, Li Nian has the experience of commanding the army, and second, it can win over the hearts of the people who are supporting him. Of course, Gu Zhenhua also has the intention of appeaseing Hong Niangzi, and he always has to find a suitable position for her subordinates.
Fortunately, the Second Regiment was obviously a second-line unit, and no one else cared about it. In terms of the most important infantry, Gu Zhenhua also made great efforts. Each of the five guard battalions combined with a new battalion to form five brand new guard regiments. These five regiments were the core main forces of the Anguo Army field battle, and all of them were directly commanded by Gu Zhenhua.
In addition, among the elite troops of An Guojun, only the ten battalions trained by Gu Zhenhua were left. After being drawn to form the Guard Regiment, there were still five battalions left. Five second-class combat regiments were formed with these five battalions as the core, led by Sun Cheng, Li Xu, Guo Yunlong, Xie Bin and Zhou Yingjie. They were also the main force of the field battle as supplements to the Guard Regiment.
In this way, with the artillery battalion, Gu Zhenhua formed ten infantry regiments, plus a cavalry regiment, a field force with a total of more than 13,000 people. In terms of combat capabilities, he could fight against the Qing army of 10,000 or 20,000.
If we rely on the strong city to fight and have sufficient gunpowder, Gu Zhenhua would even be sure to block the attack of 30,000 to 50,000 Qing troops. After all, facing the troops armed with firearms, the Qing army, who was still in the cold weapon era, had too many weaknesses.
The remaining troops were organized into garrison regiments, and Hou Sanhuai, Kang Lesheng, Chen Yi, Huo Yingfang, Zhao Tian and others were all promoted to regiment commanders, stationed in Jixian, Xinxiang, Yanjin, Fengqiu and other strategic areas north of the Yellow River. In addition, soldiers were sent to defend the situation in Luoyang and Kaifeng.
In fact, it was a bit inappropriate to adjust the organization before the war, but fortunately, Gu Zhenhua had already done his work in advance, and An Guojun expanded rapidly, and upgrading was inevitable.
Sure enough, after the announcement of this plan, everyone was upgraded and was particularly happy. Li Xu and the others also had their own plans in their hearts. At that time, Li Chengliang's seven thousand servants looked down on the border. With the training level of the Anguo Army, there was no problem comparing to the servants. A regiment of more than one thousand people, according to common sense, could completely defeat the troops of the Ming army of tens of thousands, and they could almost be compared with the generals of a town!
When Gu Zhenhua saw that everyone was satisfied, he also smiled and said, "This is just the first step. As long as you win this battle, An Guojun will develop greatly to ensure that there is enough stage to let everyone show their talents!"
"Thank you, Duke, for your cultivation!"
Chapter completed!
