"If it's solved, it's solved. If it's not solved, it's not solved. What does it mean to be considered solved?"
Jin Feng asked in confusion.
“After my husband told me about the transmission routes of malaria, we quickly solved some stagnant water beaches and dry latrines that are prone to mosquito breeding. With the mosquito nets and clothes donated by my husband, there have been no new cases in the village for half a month.
patient."
Mr. Wei said: "But 70% of those people who have been infected have not survived..."
When Jin Feng heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.
With the current medical level, it is really difficult to treat malaria.
The disease in Fengshui Town can be contained. In addition to cleaning the beaches and mosquito nets, the most important reason is that the weather is getting colder and there are fewer and fewer mosquitoes.
"Who are these?"
Jin Feng pointed at the old men behind Wei Wuya and asked.
"They are the village chiefs of the most severely affected villages in Fengshui Town. When they heard that I was coming to Xihewan, they must come with me to thank my husband."
Wei Wuya explained: "The reason I saluted Mr. just now was for this matter. Without Mr.'s guidance and generous donation, I don't know how many people would have died in Fengshui Town this time."
"Thank you Mr. Jin!"
Several old people said this and were about to bow again, but were stopped by Jin Feng.
The old people took out things from the packages behind their backs, including dried fish, rice, and even two hares, which Jin Feng insisted on accepting.
As they were pushing back, a figure appeared on the road in the distance, riding a war horse and galloping through the mountains.
Behind him was a war horse.
"Sir, it seems to be a female soldier!"
While Liu signaled the veterans to prepare for defense, he murmured: "Running so fast, something happened, right?"
The opponent was very fast, and he was in front of him in just a moment.
Jin Feng looked at the visitor and frowned slightly.
The person who came was one of Qing Mulan's personal guards. He was bleeding from many places on his body. The saddle and belly of the horse he was sitting on were stained red with blood.
When he saw Jin Feng, he rolled off his horse.
"Axia, how did you do this?"
Da Liu quickly stepped forward and helped the female soldier up.
The female soldier did not answer Da Liu, but stretched out her arm towards Jin Feng and said weakly and hastily: "Sir...Sir, go and save the lady quickly!"
Jin Feng's heart skipped a beat and asked, "What's wrong with Mu Lan?"
"Miss was...surrounded by an army of bandits...ahem!"
Before the female soldier could finish speaking, she coughed out two mouthfuls of blood and her breathing suddenly became rapid.
When Wei Wuya saw this, he quickly stepped forward and patted the female soldier on the back a few times. Then he clenched his fist and punched her armpit lightly. He saw the female soldier vomiting out a few mouthfuls of bruises and her face changed.
becomes paler.
But his breathing calmed down.
"Where are you ladies? How many bandits are there?"
Jin Feng was afraid that the female soldier would cause problems again, so he did not ask what happened, but directly asked about the location and the number of people on the other side.
"In Wulang Mountain, Qingshan County... there are more than 4,000 bandits!" the female soldier replied.
"How come there are such big bandits in Qingshan County? They can be said to be rebels, right?" Da Liu asked in surprise.
Generally, the gentry supports only a few hundred bandits to collect annual grain. Bandits with more than a thousand people like Heishuigou are very rare.
After all, it costs money to raise bandits. A few hundred people are enough for bandits to scare the common people.
It was also because the supporter of Heishui Gou was Zhao Xianwei, who had a large territory and was close to the official road, that he could block the road and set up roadblocks to collect tolls, so Heishui Gou could develop to a scale of thousands of people.
Da Liu also worked as a bodyguard before. He traveled to many places and saw many bandits, but he had never heard of a bandit den with more than 4,000 people.
This is more than the number of many second-class troops.
"There are many second-class troops with less than 4,000 people. It is definitely not a group of bandits. It should be several groups of bandits gathered together." Jin Feng said.
"Yes..." The female soldier nodded weakly, then lowered her head.
Wei Wuya reached out and touched the female soldier's wrist and said, "Mr. Jin, she lost too much blood, traveled a long distance, and was too worried, so she fainted."
"Ajian, send her to the medical team quickly. Dachuan, go find Zhao Laoshan immediately and ask him to find out if there is anyone in the second group from Qingshan County or anyone familiar with Wulang Mountain."
Jin Feng quickly explained, then looked at Wei Wuya: "Mr. Wei, I have something urgent to do here, so I won't accompany you all for now. Daqiang, please take a few old gentlemen back and let the village chief entertain you first."
"Sir, it's important. I'm going to check on this girl's injuries."
Mr. Wei said quickly.
"Don't be offended by the poor hospitality."
Jin Feng bowed to the old men as a scholar, got on his horse, and led Da Liu straight to the veterans camp in the back mountain.
Soon, the dull sound of drums sounded in the veteran camp.
Whether they were veterans or female soldiers, whether they were training or resting, when they heard the drumbeat, they all dropped what they were doing and rushed towards the camp.
Zhang Liang rushed out of the house with a surprised look on his face.
He didn't give the order, who dared to beat the general's drum without authorization?
As a result, he bumped into Jin Feng as soon as he went out.
"Sir, when did you come back?"
"I just came back and something happened to Mu Lan." Jin Feng went straight to the point.
"Something happened to Miss Mu Lan?" Zhang Liang was surprised at first, and then asked: "Where did you get the news, sir? Is it reliable?"
In his opinion, Qing Mulan has 5,000 regular troops under his command. Even if Qing Mulan only leads one of them, there are still 1,000 soldiers equipped with catapults, heavy crossbows and flash bombs. It is enough to attack a small city.
What dangers can be encountered in suppressing bandits?
"It was Mu Lan's personal guard Axia who came to report the news. It should be reliable."
Jin Feng replied: "I heard from Axia that several groups of bandits were afraid of being surrounded and suppressed, so they got together and gathered more than 4,000 people to besiege Mulan to Wulang Mountain in Qingshan County."
"More than four thousand bandits are colluding..."
Zhang Liang's pupils shrank slightly and he realized the seriousness of the matter.
Since Jin Feng beat the drum, it means that Jin Feng must go to rescue Qing Mulan.
However, the total number of veterans and female soldiers stationed in Xihewan is only a few hundred, and there are more than 4,000 bandits. How can we save them?
Just when Zhang Liang was about to persuade Jin Feng, Da Zhuang ran over.
In the previous battle against bandits, Da Zhuang was seriously injured and has been recuperating at home. He just returned to the camp a few days ago.
Zhang Liang was short of manpower, so he arranged for him to be by his side.
"Sir, captain!"
Da Zhuang saluted the two of them, and then shouted: "Except for the brothers who are on duty at their posts and cannot come, everyone else has gathered, a total of one hundred and three people!"
"One hundred and three people?"
Jin Feng couldn't help but frown slightly.
Bandits rarely cooperate with each other. Since they are linked together, it means that the pressure brought by Qing Mulan on the bandits is too great, and the bandits are forced to do nothing.
As the saying goes, a sad army will win. At this time, bandits will become terrifying.
There are only over a hundred people in Xihewan, how can we defeat them?
