[Red Mansions] Lin's first genius doctor

Almost sleepless all night, after Wei Ren arrived at the imperial city the next day, he made a detour to the household department to find Zhou Liheng.

I specially asked him to go back and ask Daiyu to go to the Wei Mansion more often in the days to come, to persuade Lin Jiang more, and to take care of things more often.

Zhou Liheng replied: "This is what it should be. We were still discussing in our mansion yesterday, whether you should invite Lin Yuanzheng to live in our palace for your expedition, or she will be alone in the empty mansion. Not having a good time."

It can be seen from this that there is no need for Wei Ren to say anything. After the news that he was "ordered to go to the northwest as a forward general" spread in the court, Lin Jiang always received sympathetic looks wherever he went, and received countless comfort and encouragement.

Especially in the Tai Hospital, everyone sighed: Our Master Zheng is really a loyal family, his father is still overseas in Fujian, and now my husband is going to the Northwest battlefield again, so he should be the most dangerous striker!

Needless to say, Deputy Ma Yuan, since he came back from Fujian, he has devoted himself to active work. He is also good at speaking and sociable. He has long come to comfort Lin Jiang and asked her to be at ease and focus on sending General Wei to the expedition first.

Even Deputy Liu Yuan, who was so taciturn and serious, came to Lin Jiang on purpose and said, "Your Majesty Yuan, just pack the bags for General Wei in the mansion."

After being declined by Lin Jiang, Vice President Liu persisted in persuading him twice: "Xiaguan, to be honest, Mr. Yuanzheng, don't worry about being delayed by the hospital's errands--Xiaguan will guarantee it with his head, even if he sleeps every day. In this hospital, the necessary medicines must be prepared for the army."

Lin Jiang was very moved and refused again.

All colleagues in the court are like this, let alone relatives and friends.

Lin Ruhai personally came from the Ministry of Rites to the Imperial Hospital to comfort her niece, and when Lin Jiang returned home at night, Daiyu had already come to wait for her, bringing Princess Shao's concern and invitation.

Seeing that Daiyu was barely hiding her worry, Lin Jiang just relieved herself and said with a smile: "Okay, I have remembered the invitations of the princess and my sister. After he goes to the northwest, if I feel lonely, I will go find my sister." .”

Daiyu held her finger, which was a little cool, like a piece of jade: "Okay, I'll wait for my sister at home." The difficult time after her mother passed away, the days when she left her father and went to Beijing to live with her grandmother's house were Lin Lin Jiang lives with her.

This time, it was time for her to spend time with Lin Jiang.

The concern and care of my colleagues, the various comforts from my relatives, and the frequent rewards from the empress dowager in the palace, Lin Jiang was puzzled: I am not a family member of a martyr. I was fine, but you made me panic.

It seemed that he went to the northwest, faced the King of Beirong, and never came back.

So Lin Jiang had no choice but to put more effort into his work, in order to avoid the slight panic mobilized by everyone's concern.

On the contrary, Wei Ren, the person involved, did not receive so much verbal comfort, he just handed over the affairs of the Beijing camp to Uncle Mingyang temporarily step by step.

This is also an old acquaintance. He belongs to the kind of old official who I can't do well but definitely can't do badly.

--

The day before Wei Ren's expedition, what he said to Lin Jiang was different from everyone else.

He thought for a long time, and finally told Lin Jiang: "No matter how worried you are about me, don't take out things that you haven't taken out before."

Lin Jiang was a little surprised when he heard this: "What did you say?"

Outsiders may not feel it, but the two people who get along day and night, especially Lin Jiang is the person he pays attention to wholeheartedly. Wei Ren is a little aware of the strangeness. He vaguely feels that his wife has some secrets. Apart from the medical skills revealed now, there seems to be some pressure. The things at the bottom of the box have never been revealed.

It's not that there is any evidence, but Lin Jiang has a feeling of ease.

He never probed, never asked.It is normal for people who are gifted with medical skills to have some secrets, and this is the way to protect themselves.

But now that he was leaving the capital, he couldn't be by her side all the time, and if Wei Ren didn't say anything, he couldn't rest assured.The situation on the battlefield is changing, and no one can guarantee safety. He is afraid that if news of his danger reaches the capital, Lin Jiang will come up with some panacea.

There are many treasures, which will attract covetousness and danger.

Wei Ren thinks that she is the best now, she is a doctor with excellent medical skills, not someone who has a panacea to attract prying eyes.

After figuring out what he meant, Lin Jiang was a little shocked: the last person who told her to protect herself first was the father of the system.

Wei Ren looked at her lowered head, the shadow cast by her long eyelashes, and said softly but firmly: "Even if you hear that the situation in the northwest is in danger, don't worry."

"As long as you are safe in the capital, I have nothing to fear."

On the fifth day after the departure of the army, the emperor issued another decree regarding the prince's affairs in the court hall.

The war is the most test of people. After removing the two sons who the emperor thought were definitely bad dishes, the emperor asked the rest of the sons who had reached the age of 13 to study with the various ministries of the court. They were going to go through this war and inspect the sons in every way. , Sensitivity to foreign enemies, especially wars.

The emperor could already feel that in the coming years, the prosperity and prosperity of the Great Zhou might attract batches of wolves. It would be a blessing for the country to screen out a successor with a strategic vision early.

Even if Lin Jiang is by his side, the emperor still trusts her medical skills, but the emperor still knows that there are unpredictable things in the sky.

If something unexpected happens to him one day, he must ensure that the country is not chaotic.

If we say that in the past, the position of crown prince and crown prince were all carrots that the emperor hung in front of the prince, wanting to test whether his sons had the ambition to usurp the throne.But since this battle, the emperor really has some intentions to establish a reserve.

Before he is old and confused, he must choose a candidate for the crown prince for the country.

As for the ones regarded as two bad plants by the emperor, they are naturally the First Prince and the Eighth Prince.The emperor not only classified them as bad dishes, but also directly threw them out of his vegetable basket.

With the current foreign war, the emperor really doesn't want to worry about anything else.

He was ingenious, and directly gave these two sons to his two younger brothers, King Jian and King Jin, who had never been willing to tame and submit to him: Come on, my brother will give each of you a son to inherit the title. Well, you can retire honorably.

The emperor's two sons who had lost their right of inheritance were directly delineated into the sequence of princes, and even made use of it for a while, taking away the titles of the two princes who were uncertain and always wanted to make trouble for him.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Jian Wangfu and Jin Wangfu were stunned, but the emperor issued an imperial decree unquestionably, unless they rebelled, they had no choice but to 'voluntarily give up the throne'.

And Lord Su, who had bowed his head long ago, rejoiced secretly with lingering fears: It's okay, at least my title is inherited by my own son.

The courtiers with active minds also understood the meaning of the emperor.

In the face of foreign enemies, the princes' internal strife was directly crushed by the emperor: His Majesty's attitude is very clear, you can fight for the throne, but if you make an unforgivable mistake, you will lose the prince's qualifications directly.

If you want to show your strength within the scope of the rules and want to be the crown prince, then show me that you can be a good prince!

Speaking of which, the eldest prince finally realized his dream in another way, he was promoted from a town general to a county king.But this county king is the county king of the Prince Jin Mansion!Directly changing from a prince to an ordinary son of the clan, this gold content is not as good as his general who is in charge of the country!

So he became more and more depressed, and he didn't even want to engage in feudal superstition activities. He just spent every day in the mansion, cursing this and that.

It was also quite painful for the eighth prince to receive the decree: after what happened to the eldest prince, he had already figured it out. Given how much his father disliked him, he would end up being a general of the town and standing aside in the future.

But he never imagined that the father would not even give him a general to guard the country, but he would name him as his son to someone else.This is the abandonment of him from the patriarchal line: the jade document has been changed, and since then it has been recorded in the history books that he is only the son of King Jian.

Since he was a child, he has lived in a muddle. The only splash in his life is that he owes others to make things difficult for him. Seeing people loathe and avoid him, he has nothing to do with him, so as to seek the sense of existence that he is a prince.

But now, he is no longer the prince.

What is he?

The eighth prince received the imperial decree and sat there all night, feeling that everything in the past seemed to be a delusion.

Afterwards, he went to beg the emperor for the last thing, which was to ask his father to let him go to the battlefield. He would rather not be the king of Jian Jun. He would start from the smallest soldier incognito and contribute to Dazhou's defense against foreign enemies. .

He wants to live a life that is not disliked and bored by others, a life that is not messed up by him.

The emperor's face was still indifferent, he looked at him and said: "The battlefield is dangerous, no one will care about you." As the king of Jianjun in Beijing, although he has no future or future, he always has enough food and drink.

Seeing that the eighth prince still insisted, the emperor agreed, and he really didn't give him any extra treatment, so he just ordered the thrush father-in-law to prepare a new household registration for ordinary people and a 50 taels of silver for him.

The eighth prince kowtowed and left.

Before leaving, he deliberately went to say goodbye to the fifth prince again: "Thank you fifth brother for being willing to speak for me, father is willing to see me."

He is sincerely grateful: he heard that when the emperor sent the first prince down, the second prince wanted to be a good person and persuaded him, so he almost fell into the same crime.Although the courtiers all said that the current emperor is gentler than the previous emperor in terms of temperament and listens to advice, but they are sons who can feel that the father's heart is firm and irreversible.

At this time, the fifth brother risked offending his father and was willing to speak for him. The eighth prince was very grateful.

Seeing him like this, the fifth prince sighed with emotion: "If you have any difficulties, please send a message. I will always be your elder brother."

The eighth prince nodded, then took his leave and got on his horse to leave.But the fifth prince knew that he would not send a message back, he really wanted to be a new person.

--

The news of the first confrontation between Wei Ren and the King of Bei Rong came back, and the whole capital was quite excited, and the news was spread in the streets and alleys.

The situation of the battle was relayed back from the northwest by scouts on fast horses. As soon as they entered the north gate of the capital, they galloped all the way to the imperial city while shouting "good news".

The Zhou army won a complete victory.

The people of Da Zhou on the side of the road were all jubilant.

Da Zhou has hated Beirong for many years. In fact, the coastal bandits, except for Fujian, Guangzhou and other places, the people in the inland of the capital don't feel much.But when it comes to Di Rong, everyone immediately shares the same hatred and deeply hates it.

After all, even Jia Baoyu, who can say that "civilian officials and military generals are all lu beetles, they are all just picture names", when talking about Bei Rong, said: "The two kinds of people are from Yao and Shun. At that time, it was a trouble for China, and the Jin and Tang dynasties suffered greatly from it!" [1]

He said so, which shows how much normal Dazhou people hate Beirong in the universal view.

In recent years, half of the military service enlisted by the Great Zhou has been devoted to the northwest border.Although the two countries have not had a formal war for the founding of the country for 20 years, the northwest is bitterly cold. Every autumn and winter, there will be tribes who feel that they can’t survive the winter, and they report the thought of “grabbing is earning, and dying can be a back”. , rushed into the border of Dazhou to rob.

The capital is not far from the northwest, and if there is a little trouble, the capital will also hear about it.

It can be said that the relationship between Beirong and Dazhou is like the relationship between villagers in some mountain villages and wolves living on the mountains-every autumn and winter, everyone must fight for food and livestock.

The scouts who saw the report shouted the good news all the way, and many guests in the teahouse and restaurant dropped their half-eaten dishes and came out to watch, and then asked each other, what exactly is the big victory?But it blocked the momentum of Bei Rong going south?

Since it was a big victory, the imperial court was naturally happy to publicize it among the people, and soon the news of this battle spread.

If it's just a big victory, it's not enough to make everyone in the court discuss this matter.Because of this great victory, it can be said to be very dramatic: in fact, the two armies have not really fought each other, but when the vanguard generals fought, the Beirong king fled in anticipation, and the lieutenant general beside him was beheaded with a single knife.

This made the people of Dazhou very excited.

The king of Beirong once beheaded several officials of Dazhou, and he would charge forward in every battle. Such news has already spread in the capital of Dazhou, and hearing that the king of Beirong was regarded as the king of gods made everyone even more angry. Zhou Zimin trembled.

In fact, ordinary people are afraid of Beirong.

There is a reason why the people of Dazhou think that Beirong is a jackal: because they always feel that if they are pulled out alone, their combat effectiveness must not be able to beat a jackal.

It is almost the consensus of the two countries that the Beirong people are braver and better at fighting than Da Zhou.

What's more, this Beirong King sounds like a wolf king.

It was even rumored that the King of Beirong became a devilish character: It is said that he was born with a height of one foot, he could spew out fire when he opened his mouth, and he had to drink with the meat of the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty when he ate.

I heard that such a person was beaten by a young general of Da Zhou, and turned his head and ran away as soon as he met him, which naturally made the people of Da Zhou proud and happy.

--

It's just that behind this great victory is a very interesting process.Zhou Liheng made a special trip to Taitai Hospital without missing any details, and told Lin Jiang about it, sharing the joy with her, hoping that she would feel more at ease.

When Zhou Liheng arrived, Lin Jiang had already heard some congratulatory words from the Imperial Hospital.

It is said that Wei Ren became famous in one battle.

Before the corruption case in the Beijing camp, he gave the courtiers the impression that he was just a child raised by the emperor, so he was the emperor's confidant, and led the Long Jinwei to protect His Majesty's safety.

But in the court tug-of-war between him and Wang Ziteng, his actions made the courtiers look at him with admiration, and no one underestimated him as a young general.

But that is only famous in court, until after this battle, he can be regarded as a real famous Zhou.

Even Zhou Liheng congratulated Lin Jiang first.

Lin Jiang beckoned him to sit down, then stretched out his finger and pointed at the table: "First, stretch out your hand, and I will feel your pulse. I heard from my sister that you have been in the household department recently. You are also tired like cooking oil. Even if you go back to the house at night, you are just in a hurry. Have some food, and then go to study the battle deduction map drawn by the Ministry of War - you only sleep two or three hours a night, why did you follow the emperor instead of Prince Shao?"

From Lin Jiang's point of view as a doctor, the best patient in the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty is Prince Shao: he is not tired, does not hold his breath, is diligent in exercising, has a regular schedule, and is much more obedient than the emperor.

Zhou Liheng stretched out his hand obediently, and was about to speak about the situation of the battle, but was stopped by Lin Jiang's eyes.

It wasn't until after taking the pulse that Lin Jiang asked him: "That's right, I'm really puzzled, why did the King of Beirong run away?"

The praises and praises flocked from outsiders almost turned Wei Ren into a martial god like the king of Beirong, and it didn't go to Lin Jiang's head.

She was still quite puzzled: this is not a world of martial arts, where top fighters confront each other, success or failure can be determined by looking at one's breath, and then one person walks away knowing that he is invincible.

Lin Jiang thought that since the king of Beirong could break the century-old chaos in Mobei and reorganize the royal court of Beirong, he would definitely not be the kind of cowardly person who earned his reputation in vain.

Meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins. Lin Jiang felt that the king of Beirong must have the courage to dare to fight.

It is not possible to turn around and run away after meeting Wei Ren face to face.

Zhou Liheng couldn't help but smile when he heard Lin Jiang's words: Sure enough, what Daiyu said was right, my sister is not the kind of person who will be fooled by boastful fame.

Now the entire imperial court is boasting that "General Wei was young and brave, and scared away the king of Beirong." Only Lin Jiang is still analyzing seriously and feels that this is wrong.

Zhou Liheng came to talk about this matter.

"Actually, thanks to the torches and cylinders brought back by my uncle." After Zhou Liheng and Daiyu got married, they all changed their names, and the uncle he said was Lin Changzhou.

As soon as he said this, Lin Jiang made a rough guess, and showed his face: "Did he fight Bei Rong for the first time, and he carried that unique fire and barrel on the battlefield for the first time? "

Zhou Liheng nodded.

Then he and Lin Jiang showed a regretful expression at the same time, and when they looked at each other, they knew that they had thought of one place: the king of Beirong retreated after seeing it, which shows that he is not those people who are ignorant and only show off their bravery.He looked back to show that he knew firearms and knew their dangers, so he ran away regardless of his prestige.

It's a pity that he knows firearms.

It would be great if he was reckless, the body was against the fire and the barrel, this time the big victory was not just the defeat of the Beirong King, but the bombardment of the Beirong King.

Lin Jiang stretched out his hand and poured tea for the two of them, and listened to Zhou Liheng talk about the battle one by one.

If he were to interview the current King of Beirong, his mood would be two words: aggrieved!

He asked himself that he was a man of great talent and boldness, did he want to run away?Isn't he afraid of losing face?

Originally, I heard that the Great Zhou court sent a very young vanguard army, and it is said that he had served as a guard for the Great Zhou Emperor. The Beirong King vowed to capture him in order to make a condition to the Great Zhou Emperor.He thought in his heart that even if he couldn't be captured alive, he would have to cut off his head, and then give it to the Emperor of Zhou to show Bei Rong's fighting power and national prestige.

But the other party is simply too much!He actually engages in firepower crushing, but he is in good physical condition, can he block the muzzle of the gun?

At that time, the king of Beirong led his troops to make a surprise attack. When he was about to enter the army all the way, he saw that the front ranks of Da Zhou's army had dispersed, and Wei Ren was sitting on a horse and was late. There was no way his horse ran slower, so he had to Show up late.

The main reason is that Wei Ren carried a heavy fire and canister on his shoulders. Generally, fast horses are not capable of carrying enough weight, so he did not use Guanzhong horses that are good at running and light feet, but deliberately used horses with heavy loads and long endurance.

So much so that when the King of Beirong was about to rush in front of the vanguard of the Great Zhou, Wei Ren's horse caught up.

At this time, the distance between King Beirong and Wei Ren was dangerously close.The king of Beirong used a strong bow. At this distance, if he drew an arrow and shot, he could completely shoot someone right through.

King Beirong's hand was already on the bow.

However, when the distance got closer, when the king of Beirong saw clearly the caliber of the firearm on Wei Ren's shoulder, the wind immediately became chaotic.

At this distance, if he was hit by the bombardment, wouldn't he be torn apart on the spot!

After being shocked, he had to make a sharp turn, hit his horse and retreat to the army.This retreat was very painful: as soon as the two soldiers met, he immediately retreated, which was a great shame.

Moreover, Bei Rong has lived in Mobei all the year round, and the soldiers in the army are as knowledgeable as he is. There are not many people who know firearms. Seeing that his king rushed back halfway and suddenly retreated, the army couldn't help but a commotion. It is obvious. unbelievable.

And a lieutenant next to King Beirong was shocked when he saw the monarch retreating suddenly. Hearing the cheers and boos from the Zhou army, the lieutenant roared and did not continue to follow King Beirong when he was full of blood. Backed away, but went straight to the guard.

At that moment, King Beirong's psychological activities were very complicated: firstly, he was sad, because he was afraid that he would be bombarded as scum if he had a brave lieutenant; secondly, he was a little lucky, after all, his retreat was really ugly.The soldiers on his side didn't understand the horror of the 'black box' that the young general was carrying on his shoulders.

If his lieutenant rushed forward and was blasted to pieces, there would be a reason for his retreat.

In the future, you can also publicize in the army that the opponent's victory is not military, and that they used firearms to intimidate the honest Beibei army.

So King Beirong retreated to the army, staring at the back of the lieutenant general.

However, Wei Ren saw that it was Beirong lieutenant general who rushed up, so he immediately put down the firearm on his shoulders, and a lieutenant who was following Wei Yan immediately jumped off his horse to guard the firearm. This is all a rehearsal Been there many times.

At the same time, Wei Ren jumped on the deputy general's famous horse, fast horse, and raised the knife on the horse, only to see a flash of lightning, and the deputy general of Beirong who rushed over died under the knife.

The whole process happened so quickly that there was a momentary vacuum of silence on the battlefield.

Afterwards, there was an uproar, but the morale of Da Zhou's side was soaring, and the sergeants cheered and cheered for it, their blood boiled, and they wished they could rush up and kill these enemies who invaded their homeland.

Beirong, on the other hand, experienced a setback that they had never experienced before in the expedition, and they were stunned and depressed, and they uttered an unbelievable voice: Could it be that this young general of the Great Zhou can't do something magical?Otherwise, their simple (simple) brains would not be able to understand why the king who descended from the gods turned his head and ran away when he saw the young general, while the deputy general who stepped forward bravely was killed by him.

King Bei Rong hated Wei Ren to death: how could there be such a sinister and cunning person in the world!

Use a cannon against me, and as soon as I run away, you will use a knife against the lieutenant.This, this is simply disregarding Wude!

But it's useless to rush over at this moment.

The king of Beirong watched helplessly as the lieutenant under Cai Weiren set up a firearm on the ground. The mouth of the black hole was facing his direction in Beirong's army. As long as he dared to rush out, they would dare to light the fire.

This Western firearm is very precious, it was not mass-produced in Dazhou, it was brought back by Lin Changzhou with great difficulty, and Wei Ren took it away, just waiting for the King of Beirong.

Wei Ren is very economical and will never be used on other people.

The King of Beirong was very depressed by his targeting.

Since he began to rectify the entire Mobei as an adult, the King of Beirong had failed before, but he had never failed in such an angry and wanting to vomit blood.

Da Zhou won a complete victory in this battle with very little casualties. Basically, he went to chase down the Beirong soldiers who were alone, and took back the two towns closest to Tongcheng.

It was originally the temporary stronghold of Beibei. If they retreated and lost, they would naturally retreat to a fortified city to hold on to it for rectification. This kind of small town cannot be kept.

King Bei Rong is also a person who knows how to give and take, so he doesn't care about the heartache, and he doesn't stay any longer. He directly returns to the "Tongcheng" where the king of Xining County was stationed before, and closes the city gate.

Those who didn't know thought that Da Zhou was the one who came to invade. While besieging the city, the Bei Rong guarded it instead.
