Across the heavens in the Red Mansion

Chapter 41 Jia Lang and Lieutenant Qiao tell about the plague
Jia Lang, who was chatting with Wang Tieniu outside the barracks, was being reminded by Wang Tieniu that Er Mazi, the skinny man who had gone in to report to Governor Sun, had moved in with Deputy General Qiao.

After Jia Lang saw Vice General Qiao, he stopped chatting with Wang Tieniu and stood quietly outside the camp gate waiting for Vice General Qiao to come.

Then Qiaoqian walked outside the camp gate and walked towards Jia Lang. On the way, Vice General Qiao had already learned from Er Mazi what Sun Dushi wanted him to bring a scholar.

Qiaoqian looked in the direction of the camp gate, and saw Jia Lang alone as a scholar, and the others were soldiers in the barracks.

Now for the housewarming, I have decided who I want to bring with me.

With Er Mazi leading the way, Qiaoqian walked behind Er Mazi and arrived in front of Jia Lang after a short walk.

After Er Mazi led Qiaoqian to Jia Lang, he hurriedly explained for Qiaoqian: "General Qiao, this person is the scholar I mentioned who has something important to report to Governor Sun."

Seeing Er Mazi explaining himself to Qiao Qian, Jia Lang first walked quickly to Qiao Qian, then bowed his hands and said, "Moxue has met General Qiao."

After listening to Er Mazi's explanation, Qiaoqian became even more clear that Jia Lang was the person whom Sun Dushi had passed on. When he saw Jia Lang, he waved to him and said, "Scholar, you don't need to be too polite, Sun Dushi." Please, come with me now!"

Qiaoqian met Jia Lang and saluted him respectfully, so he had a good sense of Jia Lang.

The civil and military competition in the late Ming Dynasty was still very serious. After the mid-Ming Dynasty, the status of civil officials continued to rise and the status of warriors continued to decline.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the rise of warriors holding military power, but because of the emphasis on culture over military in the mid-Ming Dynasty, the literati group still looked down on warriors, and even went to the battlefield to show their ambitions.

Sun Chuanting is a typical example of success. Sun Chuanting is a general who was born as a Jinshi. In the Ming Dynasty, there were literati and military generals such as Lu Xiangsheng.

Therefore, warriors have a natural aversion to literati, and so do literati. Of course, Qiaoqian admires literati like Sun Dushi very much.

Seeing Jia Lang, he saluted and greeted him with a gentle attitude, unlike other scholars who had a natural aversion to warriors.

Jia Lang heard what Qiaoqian said to him, and hurriedly replied, "Yes, General Qiao."

After hearing Jia Lang's reply of "yes", Qiaoqian didn't say anything more, and said to Jia Lang: "In this case, you just follow me, let's go."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left outside the gate of the barracks, and walked towards the barracks.

Seeing Qiaoqian, Jia Lang walked into the barracks, said goodbye to Wang Tieniu, and hurriedly followed Qiaoqian.

As far as the eye can see, there are military camps and tents everywhere, and they are arranged in an orderly and rigorous manner.

Patrolling soldiers patrolled the tents in an orderly manner.

Jia Lang, who was passing by the tents, looked into the tent out of curiosity, but the scene inside was both within Jia Lang's expectation and beyond Jia Lang's expectation.

After walking all the way, Jia Lang found several camps where there were several pale-faced people lying there, looking weak and powerless.

Looking at these scenes, Jia Lang knew that this was probably the beginning of the plague. Seeing this scene, Jia Lang hurried forward and asked Qiao Qian: "General Qiao, I see what's going on in this camp." They are all patients."

General Qiao was originally walking in front of Jia Lang and leading the way to Governor Sun for Jia Lang.

Seeing Jia Lang suddenly, he walked towards him and asked, originally he had no obligation to answer Jia Lang, but Qiaoqian had a good impression of him because of the previous meeting.

So Qiaoqian slowed down his walking pace, and said to Jia Lang in a gentle voice: "These soldiers got typhoid fever because of the recent irregular seasons and unpredictable weather."

"Then we arranged for them to lie down in the tent and wait for the medical officer to come and treat them."

Hearing Qiaoqian's words, Jia Lang wanted to inoculate himself against speaking in front of Sun Chuanting later, and then Jia Lang said to Qiaoqian: "General Qiao, you don't think it's strange, because the seasons are not right and the weather is unpredictable. And there are too many soldiers who are sick, normally there would not be so many."

Qiaoqian listened to Jia Lang's words and thought about it, it seems to be the same. The typhoid fever is too serious. In just a few days, so many people got sick, and not only one or two died, but many were also sick. Light, think about it and know that it is impossible to be caused by typhoid fever.

Before the housewarming, it was because Ren Qi reported this to Governor Sun, but he didn't find any clues because of his preconceived ideas. After Jia Lang's reminder, he realized that something was wrong.

Hearing Jia Lang's questioning about Qiaoqian, at least he is a general-level figure, and his brain is of course easy to use.

Immediately, Qiaoqian said to Jia Lang, "Scholar, since you've said this all the time, you must have noticed something. Why don't you tell me to listen."

Seeing that Qiaoqian opened up this topic to him, Jia Lang was overjoyed. He was still worried about how to bring up the plague with Sun Chuanting. This Qiaoqian became a good person and gave him a chance.

Why would Jia Lang give up this opportunity at this time? This was related to the lives of many people. He hurriedly returned to his housewarming and said cautiously: "General Qiao, don't believe me when I say it. I saw those taxis lying down." The pawn looks like he's suffering from the plague."

The housewarming didn't pay much attention to Jia Lang's views, but when he heard about the plague Jia Lang was talking about.

Throughout the history of the Ming Dynasty, there were at least 168 years of plagues, and at least 330 times of various plagues. During the Little Ice Age, the Ming Dynasty, which was short of food and constantly at war, was really a greenhouse for plagues.

If it weren't for this plague and the coming of the Little Ice Age, maybe this Ming Dynasty would not have died so easily, and Qing Zhuizi finally took advantage of it.

Qiao Qian couldn't calm down anymore, and he was no longer as calm as when he asked Jia Lang before. The army was about to send out troops. If he got a disease like the plague, he would be doomed. If something like this happened.

Qiaoqian, who couldn't calm down, turned to Jia Lang and asked with a cold face: "Scholar, what you said is true, this is not nonsense, and when you grow up, you will disturb the morale of the army."

Fortunately, there are no other people around the two of them, otherwise the housewarming might have been murderous.

Jia Lang understood Qiao Qian's change of expression. If word spread that there was a plague in the army and the army was in turmoil, no one who had the intention of fighting would have fled long ago.

So Jia Lang said to Qiao Qian, "General Qiao, I'm not sure about the plague."

Could it be possible to tell Qiao Qian that Jia Lang knew that your army had a plague after reading "The Tribulation of the Ming Dynasty"? No one would believe you if you said this.

However, Jia Lang reassured Qiaoqian and said, "General Qiao, although I'm not sure about the plague, it's better to be prepared. If it's true, it will be a big deal."

After hearing Jia Lang's words, Qiaoqian felt that it made sense. It was not a joke, and he was afraid of [-] in case, so Deputy General Qiao said to Jia Lang, "Since the matter is urgent, follow me to report to Sun. Superintendent."

Immediately he pulled Jia Lang up and ran quickly to Sun Chuanting's tent.
