Beiyang new warlord

Whether it was dealing with the corpses of cattle, sheep, livestock or the corpses of the war dead during the siege, Huang Taiji did not bury them at all. He deliberately piled up these corpses in order to summon this frightening demon out of hell. The Black Death that wiped out half of Europe's population.

If it is victorious, the Qing army carrying the Black Death germ all the way to the north, constantly dying of illness, I am afraid that the shadow of the Black Death will be more destructive than the massacre brought by the Eight Banners cavalry. Such a scene can even appear in Mao Jue's pupils , in the towns and villages he built with painstaking efforts, the Dongjiang hoarders with families coughed and spit black blood, and every family died at home. The plague may also flow into Japan, Korea, and Jiangnan along the trade route.

Wasn’t the Black Death in the West brought to Europe by escaped Venetian merchants when the Mongolian army besieged Constantinople?Once the plague spreads, the dead will be uncountable!

Even if this strategic goal is not achieved, Huang Taiji will leave the plague-infected army here to fight against the Ming army for ten days and a half months, and the plague will also spread in Mao Jue's army. Dongjiang's southward battle will also be hit destroy.

No matter how powerful the cannon is, it can't beat these gods of death who are invisible to the naked eye!

No wonder the battle against the Qing army went so smoothly last night, and no wonder Huang Taiji was able to abandon all his main forces so easily.

But what he didn't expect was that, first, Dongjiang was so decisive and vicious that he launched an attack overnight, and Mao Jue's combat order was to leave no one alive! More than 11 Qing troops, the huge source of infection was physically shorted by him. disappeared within time.The other point is that Mao Jue, a cheating guy, was omnipresent and irresistible in the eyes of the ancients, like a plague like devils and gods, but in Mao Jue's eyes, he saw little mice objectively. Fleas only, he knows how to ward off these diseases!

He ordered his subordinates to directly use kerosene and gunpowder to burn the seedbeds of these diseases. He didn't even look at the main tent of the Chinese army left by Huang Taiji. Like the protagonist in the movie, he didn't look back at the raging fire behind him. Mao Jue was on the gloomy side Returning to the Dongjiang camp in the north, he gave orders in a hurry.

"Lord Fan, you should return to Acheng immediately. Immediately transfer all the coal and medicinal materials that can be mobilized to the front line from the train. The second phase of military assembly will be cancelled, and all those who are able to move will be sent to the mine. In the garden, send a letter to the Tieshan Chamber of Commerce, and I will increase the price by [-]% to buy Coptidis, Forsythia, Sophora, Sulfur and other medicinal materials! Be quick!"

"Humble job saves money!"

Not only did the black plague break out in the Qing army, but the camp of the Gorilla Tribe was also infected. When he went to count this afternoon, he just watched the boss of several infected herdsmen whose necks were swollen. They died without kicking, and some tents were dead silent, but when they opened it, they found that the whole family had been dead for a long time!

Such a terrifying illness happened right in front of his eyes, and Fan Wenju's back was covered with cold sweat. He didn't dare to delay for a moment, and directly bowed to accept the order.

"Master Sun, you have made great contributions to defending Jilin City. You have held back the main force of the construction of captives for our army and won the opportunity for a decisive battle. Immediately promote you to the Liaodong Governor's Mansion. I will order you to guard Jilin City. To promote it, all towns and ministries must cooperate, and the military law that dares to be lazy and contradict it must be followed!"

Then at this opportunity, Mao Jue gave Sun Chuanting a wave of promotions and promoted this handsome man to an important position. He was not ambiguous, and immediately bowed heavily.

"Humble job obeys!"

A few more personnel orders were issued, specific to each chief officer, speaking effortlessly, a group of people had already ridden through the large ruins of the entire city, and returned to the last warehouse position, where there were several holes destroyed by the Qing army. The Baidongjiang army is taking bricks and cement to seal it up again, and the wall is higher and tighter than before, and there are two layers of fine barbed wire extending from the upright wall. This war is not fought with people. It was fighting with mice! I feel that these things are not allowed to come here with germs! The whole ruins can only be reopened once they are sealed off this winter.

Seeing the iron door behind him being shut with a loud creak, Song Xiance's huge head and eyes turned around twice like a mouse possessing a body, and immediately he clasped his fists there.

"General! This plague is not a bad thing! Our Dongjiang is afraid of the plague, why is he not afraid of the Qing Dynasty? Now half of Jianzhou's territory is occupied by our Dongjiang, and those slaves and Tartars are unprecedentedly concentrated in Shengjing, Liaoyang, etc. In other places, as long as these sick sergeants and sick rats and fleas are sent to Shengjing, a plague will surely break out in Shengjing from May to before winter, and he will treat other people in the same way! Look at his emperor How to guard against Tai Chi!"

"In that case, even if the army can't move now, don't be in a hurry. Our teacher can wait for the winter plague to dissipate, and go to Shengjing to help the old man Huang Taiji collect the body."

This is indeed a poisonous plan, but you are not benevolent and I am not righteous! The old boy has plotted against Dongjiang like this, so what if you use your method to deal with you later?Who knew that amid Song Xiance's excited expression, Mao Jue shook his head heavily.

"No!"

"General, why?"

Mao Jue is not a woman who talks about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. It is not once or twice that tearing up a peace agreement is faster than turning over a book. Full of astonishment, Song Xiance couldn't help asking subconsciously, and Mao Jue who asked was also distressed. Head bag.

"Under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, the Han people still accounted for the majority of the population of 300 million. Of course, those who had already entered the banner and forgot their ancestors were innocent, but after all, there were still innocent people who were looted from the customs, and there were 80 million people in the Liaoxi Corridor who were just cleared. The people of Liaodong who were annexed by the people."

"It's true that kindness does not lead soldiers! But after all, Dongjiang needs this part of the population to supplement its labor force. Otherwise, even if Jiannu is wiped out, it would be meaningless to get an empty Liaodong. In comparison, I would rather pay a certain sacrifice than Precisely eliminate these Jianzhou Jurchens."

"What the general said is very true!"

He also broke out in a cold sweat suddenly, and shook his head while murmuring regret, but soon another kind heart appeared in Song Xiance's eyeballs.

"General, Liaodong can't, but Mongolia can do it! Outside our city, there are more than [-] tents and ministries! Look, is it all right?"

Mongolia in this era is not the kind and hospitable Mongolian brothers of later generations! Mao Jue was suddenly enlightened when he heard this, and his eyes lit up.

"Whole! Of course!"

"Let Master Song take full responsibility for this matter!"

"Impressive order!"

Chapter 5. It's So Difficult to Shave Your Hair

This victory can be regarded as the saddest victory that Dongjiang has ever fought. After winning, it was as if he was made into a panic. From Jilin Ula City to the frontier Liaodong side wall to the newly won Kaiyuan Tieling, all the Dongjiang along the way The fortress is under martial law, and no one is allowed to go out easily, as nervous as if you have to defend on the spot after losing a battle.

Moreover, Dongjiang's most stringent personal hygiene reform was implemented for the first time.

On the banks of the Songhua River, there are several-storey huge houses built of wood and cement. The two huge chimneys on the roof emit billowing smoke and dust. In fact, this thing is a huge bathhouse that is enough to supply Dongjiang's 20 troops and Li Chao's army's civil and military squads, and the Japanese warrior daimyo's bathing.

Bathing is not as frequent in the north as in the south. It is quite normal to take a bath every seven days or every half a month. In order to avoid cleanliness, the whole army requires no one to wash at least once every three days.

Taking a bath is actually not a big deal, the hot water burns your skin red, and it’s comfortable to come out bald. Some soldiers even became addicted to washing. After many years, the war ended, and the city of Ula, Jilin was also developed. Many veterans came back here and opened a large circle to bathe the city to recall the feelings of the war.

But the problem is that you have to wash your clothes after taking a shower. You can see that the huge water room is full of men with washboards thumping and rubbing their military uniforms. It's about to wash into a sissy.

That's all, the most unbearable thing for these sergeants is that they have to shave their heads!

The concept that the body, hair and skin cannot be damaged by parents is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the ancient criminal law, there was also the punishment of Kun, which is to shave a person's hair. Even Cao Cao had his hair cut off for his generation. The importance of hair can be seen by how much resistance Ling has set off in Jiangnan.

However, the biggest source of infection for the Black Death is blood-sucking insects such as lice and fleas. These things developed from sucking blood from mice and then ran to humans. They are most likely to be cross-infected, and long hair is the best breeding ground for these things. Now it is not like later generations, the little girl has nothing to do, dyed her head and burned her head, even if there were lice, she was killed by medicine, even in the 70s, the parasites on her head were not eradicated.

I remember when I was a child, the elders often murmured that after washing their hair, they had to comb their hair with a very fine-toothed grate, so as to drive out these disgusting little bugs.

Mao Jue authorized Sun Chuanting to fight against the plague. After all, Lao Sun and the old bureaucrats did everything in one size fits all, and directly ordered the entire army to shave their heads. This caused a lot of backlash.

Even in front of Mao Jue's headquarters, sergeants lined up to protest.

Of course, these guys didn't dare to make a mutiny, and they all knelt in a long line to protest. There were even senior military officers "involved" in it. Kneeling there, they were almost driven crazy by the protests of their subordinates these days.

"We want to see the general!"

"General, we are innocent, why should we shave our hair!"

During the quarrel, Mao Jue finally came out, like Farewell My Concubine, with disheveled hair on his head, and a command knife still on his neck.

Is this over?Liu Chong, Wen Meng and the others were so startled, they scrambled over and kowtowed.

"General, what are you doing!"

"General, the body of a thousand gold, put down the knife!"

"what!!!"

Mao Jue, of course, would not be tempted to give himself a knife in the neck. He grabbed his messy hair, and imitated Cao Cao's haircutting head, and shaved himself in a mogul. Seeing Mao Jue's hand, The protesting sergeants below were stunned.

In fact, Mao Jue didn't like this kind of hair for a long time. Later generations got used to having a small crew cut, so I realized that those long-haired girls are not easy. The summer is sultry and hot, and it is still heavy and not breathable. If there is no drama for two days, the hair will be oily and uncomfortable. , It's possible to get caught if there's nothing wrong, but of course Mao Jue couldn't show it. In the daze of those sergeants watching, he sang a long tune with "painful face".

"Brothers, parents who suffer from body, hair, skin and skin! I will also know your pain, but I will suffer more, because I will want to go back alive to see my old father, and I will still want to bring you back alive to see your wives and children. I don’t want to go back with cold urns one after another!!!”

"Those damned Jian slaves used witchcraft to cast a voodoo, and recruited the plague to poison us. Tens of thousands of people have died in the past few days! Hair is the extension of human spirit. I really can't do this, so I came up with it." This is a way to cut the hair and eliminate the plague!"

"Cut off your hair, and you will go back alive. If you catch the plague, you will be carried back coldly! Let your relatives cry, which one is unfilial?"

This Mao Jue is not talking nonsense. Tens of thousands of people have died in the past few days, but most of them were national troops, especially those who cleaned up and burned the corpses. Six or seven out of ten had the bubonic plague. It can be seen The plague was really lurking around. Hearing Mao Jue's passionate roar, hundreds of soldiers who came to protest couldn't help but bow their heads.

At this time, a few heavyweight actors came on stage, Wen Meng is fake, he can't be fake anymore, he pulled out a pair of big scissors from somewhere, and shouted with tears in his eyes.
