The late Ming Dynasty in the living room

Chapter 48 Who am I, Min Wen Gong, afraid of?

People sent by Fang Yu went around the county town asking for doctors, and the county magistrate Min Wenggong was receiving fellow magistrates from Yizhou who came to inspect the work. (Laishui County belongs to Yizhou)

Mr. Liu, who is also aware of the situation, just praised Min Wen Gong for being "calm and steady, with the demeanor of a gentleman."

Then he saw Min Wen Gong's expression changed drastically, and he left him without saying a word.

No matter how dumbfounded Mr. Tongzhi was, Min Wengong was now walking in a hurry, asking his family members as he walked: "Have you made the matter clear? Who is injured?"

The family member who came with the news was out of breath and quickly replied: "I heard that the beggar gang took over their brick kiln, and then there was a fight between the two sides."

Min Wen Gong thought to himself that in this case, Mr. Fang should not be the one injured.

Although he breathed a sigh of relief, when he thought that the Beggar Clan was so courageous, Min Wen Gong immediately became angry.

"Okay, okay! What a gang of beggars."

"Go to Wang Dianshi (in charge of arrests) and ask him to immediately mobilize people to arrest all the beggars on the street, and then dispatch people from the Inspection Department to arrest the Guandi Temple as well!" (Guandi Temple, Beggars! Help headquarters)

The family was too weak to agree.

The reason why the beggar gang can survive in the city is simply because they have many connections with the officialdom and have a lot of money given to them.

It is said that the county magistrate of Liushui has an iron-clad staff. Although Min Wenggong is the number one in Laishui County, he still has to rely on his subordinates to get things done.

Now that Min Wen Gong wants to take down the Guandi Temple, at least half of his subordinates in the yamen will be offended.

Seeing that his family members did not dare to respond, Min Wen Gong became very angry. He pointed at him and yelled, "Go quickly and tell Wang Dianshi that he must destroy the Guandi Temple for me within two days!"

Well, Min Wen Gong seems to be floating a bit now.

In a short period of time, he first abandoned his colleague Mr. Liu, and then tried to offend all the officials in Laishui County.

All because he received a letter from the imperial court: Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three sides, was on his way to Laishui County.

It is no exaggeration to say that Sun Chuanting is now the last pillar of the Ming Dynasty. If Sun Chuanting dies, the Ming Dynasty will also die.

But the emperor even sent him, what does that mean?
It shows that the emperor has believed Min Wen Gong's memorial, and it shows that the emperor attaches great importance to the matter of Young Master Fang.

So let alone Yizhou Tongzhi, even if Baoding Magistrate came in person, Min Wen Gong would dare to leave him behind!

There is also the Beggar Gang, they are just seeking death.

Now that Min Wen and Gong have a son of God and an emperor behind him, who else is he afraid of?Who else does he dare not offend?
And one more thing:

The Ministry of Rites sent him a message from Laishui County, saying that Queen Zhang of Yi'an (the widow of Tianqi) was going to her hometown to visit her relatives and would pass through Laishui County on the way, and asked him, Min Wengong, to receive her.

But Min Wen and Gong clearly remembered that Queen Zhang of Yi'an was from Kaifeng, Henan. How could she pass through Laishui County when she went to Kaifeng to visit relatives?
Also, Kaifeng is surrounded by Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai. Where can Queen Yi'an and Zhang go to visit relatives?
Although Min Wen Gong didn't know the inside story, he guessed that Queen Yi'an and Zhang's visit was probably for Young Master Fang.

Min Wen Gong hurried out of the city and happened to see Xiao Pang (Pang Tiande) walking on the road with a group of people.

"Where is the city gate order going?" Min Wenggong asked.

Pang Tiande quickly saluted and replied: "Master Fang wants to make a batch of muskets. I am bringing the craftsmen there for him."

Min Wen Gong's face lit up after hearing this, he put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, okay."

The two men's words made the craftsmen look at each other in confusion: Someone wanted to make muskets privately, but instead of objecting to it, the county magistrate was quite happy...

When Min Wen Gong and Pang Tiande arrived at the Xincheng camp, Fang Yu was directing several doctors to clean the wounds of the wounded.

Use alcohol.So as soon as they stepped into the camp, they heard a burst of ghosts crying and howling.

Min Wen Gong looked confused. Pang Tiande had war experience. He said: "It must be amputation."

Old man Zhao took the two of them to find Fang Yu. When they arrived at a large shed, Min Wenggong first smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

Then he saw a man with an injured leg being held down, and someone holding a bowl of "wine" and pouring it on his wound.

"what!"

The injured man screamed, his body shaking wildly in pain.

Min Wen Gong also felt trembling in his heart, but he didn't understand what he was doing.

Fang Yu explained: "This is disinfecting the wound."

Of course there was a concept of disinfection in ancient times, but they didn’t understand the principle of infection.

It is said that at this time of war, far more people will die from infection than from fighting.

Although the doctors accompanying the army knew how to disinfect, their methods were simple and crude. They ignored minor injuries and used soldering irons for serious injuries, and saws for more serious injuries.

Because the disinfection is not thorough and the tools are not clean, more serious secondary infections often occur after they are "disinfected".

Hearing that Pang Tiande had brought the gun-making craftsmen, Fang Yu expressed his gratitude to him and asked Old Man Zhao to go out and arrange for these craftsmen in person.

By the way, although the security team defeated the beggars, there were many injured.

Who told them to use sticks?

Then when we come back to the Beggar Clan next time, we can directly greet them with volley guns... Hey, it's a pity that I can't work anymore.

However, Fang Yu's worries were unnecessary. Everyone in the Beggar Clan was destined to have an indissoluble bond with the brick kiln.

Min Wenggong observed Fang Yu carefully and found that he was not injured in any way, and then he was completely relieved.

After leaving the house, Min Wenggong said: "The people in the Beggar Clan do a lot of evil. I plan to eliminate harm for the people in the next few days and eradicate the Beggar Clan completely."

Fang Yu knew that this incident was caused by him, but eradicating the beggar gang was a good thing no matter what.

Moreover, if the county magistrate takes action, he will definitely be able to catch many people.

So Fang Yu told Min Wenggong: "Master Min, although the Beggar Gang and others have done many evil things, they should be given a chance to change their ways. Our brick kiln is a good place for people to change their ways. "

Min Wen Gong stroked his beard and sighed, "Master Fang is really kind-hearted."

Because they were going to the brick kiln, Fang Yu, a kind-hearted man, invited Min Wenggong and Pang Tiande to visit the "good place for rehabilitation."

Both "greeted to accept."

While walking on the road, Min Wen Gong did not shy away from Pang Tiande, and told him about Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three sides, who was about to come to Laishui County.

As for Queen Yi'an Zhang, because she was not completely sure of her intentions, Min Wenggong did not speak out for the time being.

Fang Yu felt a little surprised when he heard this. Sun Chuanting was famous and was the last big boss in the late Ming Dynasty.
