Chapter 190 The battle against the epidemic was successful!The trend of encirclement and suppression

"The store is open, we are rebel military and political officers!"

Hearing that the person coming was a military and political officer of the rebel army, the shopkeeper quickly opened the door.

Yan Ermei heard the noise upstairs and watched from the eaves of the second floor.

All the visitors covered their mouths and noses with face towels, and upon entering, they gave a notice directly to the shopkeeper.

Then he said loudly: "Everyone in the inn is listening. Anyone who reports an epidemic will be treated free of charge by the Medical Bureau of our Ministry of Health.

If someone conceals his illness, once he is found out, even if he is cured, he will be fined money and forced to do hard labor!
In addition, we have issued "Epidemic Prevention Notice" to stores, which contains some small measures to prevent epidemics.Those who are literate can watch by themselves, while those who are illiterate can ask the shopkeeper. "

After saying that, the rebel team left.

Yan Ermei was the first to go downstairs.

But I saw that the shopkeeper had already posted the notice on the wall.

Seeing Yan Ermei coming down, the shopkeeper deliberately kept his distance and asked, "Is your guest literate?"

"Literacy."

"Then please read it yourself, sir. If you don't understand anything, ask me."

Yan Ermei nodded and read the notice carefully.

The above first explains the symptoms of this epidemic, such as fever, chills, dry throat, cough, diarrhea, etc.

The fever is rapid, and it is difficult to reduce the fever. The fever is repeated, and the cough is lingering and difficult to heal.

It also explains that the disease is spread through breath and saliva from the mouth and nose, so people should keep an appropriate distance from each other and try to avoid going to crowded places.

Then there are some small ways to prevent epidemics.

For example, wear a face towel or a mask that directly covers your mouth and nose; spray the room with vinegar to disinfect the room, and spray the floor with quicklime water to disinfect; wash your hands frequently and do not drink raw water; exercise to strengthen your resistance to the disease, etc.

They are all convenient and practical methods.

Needless to say, Yan Ermei felt really relieved after reading this.

Just as I was about to go upstairs, I suddenly thought of something, so I went to the counter and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you have any vinegar for sale?"

The shopkeeper had read the announcement and knew why Yan Ermei was buying vinegar, so he sat on the floor and raised the price, took out a small jar of vinegar and said, "One tael of silver a bottle."

Yan Ermei was speechless, "Shopkeeper, you're raising the price like this, aren't you afraid that I'll report it to the rebels?"

The shopkeeper was really frightened when he heard this - he knew that the rebels were cruel to the merchants who were hoarding money, and they would often ransack their homes and would never tolerate it.

Then he said: "Seven denarii can't be any less. If something like this happens, the price of vinegar will rise in the whole city."

Yan Ermei smiled, paid for the jealousy, and went up.

In fact, he was not short of money, but he couldn't stand the shopkeeper's behavior of sitting on the floor and raising prices.

···
After seven days.

Yan Ermei stepped onto the street again, feeling as if she was in another world.

Ruyang City began to unblock four days ago, but only stores and shops are allowed to send people in and out of the city to do business.

Two days ago, ordinary people were allowed to take to the streets, but they were not allowed to gather in groups and must wear face coverings when traveling.

Yan Ermei was not afraid of death, so she stayed in her room for two more days before setting foot on the streets.

There were only a few people walking on the street, but there was no tension or panic, and there were not many people hanging white flags on their houses. It was estimated that not many people had died from the epidemic.

After this incident, Yan Ermei's thoughts changed again, and she felt that time was not waiting for us, and she was eager to do something big.

He came to the former Prince Chong's Mansion, now the Grand Marshal's Mansion in Xinghua, handed over his name sticker, and said: "Please tell Magistrate Li that friends from Pei County are visiting."

When the guard guarding the door heard that this person was a friend of Li Changwen, he did not dare to neglect him and immediately went in with a name sticker to report.

Not long after, Li Changwen went out to greet her in person, and stepped forward with a smile on his face to shake hands with Yan Ermei.

"Brother Yan is finally here!"

Yan Ermei quickly backed away and said: "Brother Li, the epidemic is still there, it's better for us not to get too close - these are the rules you have set, and you, the prefect, cannot take the lead in breaking them."

"Hahaha, Brother Yan is right." Li Changwen was not embarrassed at all, and made a gesture of invitation, "Come on, let's go in and talk."

Li Changwen brought Yan Ermei to the attic where Ge Wenyou had been entertained, served tea, and asked, "Brother Yan looks like he has been in Ruyang City for a while, right?"

Yan Ermei smiled bitterly and said, "The next day after I entered the city, we closed the city."

"When the epidemic strikes, we have no choice but to do so."

"It's good to do this." Yan Ermei changed to a more relaxed sitting position, took a sip of tea, and asked, "How is the epidemic situation this time?"

"Fortunately - we have a complete set of disease prevention and control methods, and we were aware of the epidemic when it first appeared and implemented various measures.

So far, less than ten people have died from the epidemic in the city.At present, the number of patients with the epidemic has not exceeded [-]. "

Li Changwen was quite proud when he spoke.

Yan Ermei was shocked when she heard this, "The situation is so good?!"

Li Changwen smiled and stroked his beard, and then said: "Brother Yan may not know, but we have found out through investigation that the current epidemic spread from Kaifeng Fucheng.

It happened around the beginning of March, shortly after Li Chuang's defeat from Kaifeng.

At present, with Kaifeng City as the center in the north, Zhongmu, Lanyang, Chenliu, Qixian, Tongxu, Weishi, Zhengzhou and other places are all affected by the epidemic.

These places were originally troubled by famine and war disasters, and this time there is an epidemic, and many places have turned into ghosts. "

After hearing the news, Yan Ermei frowned deeply and sighed: "If Kaifeng Mansion can be as alert and decisive as Ruyang in dealing with the epidemic, why is it like this?"

Li Changwen said: "After Li Chuang was defeated and retreated, they were busy blaming each other for their mistakes and fighting against each other. How could they have the time to pay attention to the current epidemic?

Even if someone noticed it, given the moral character of the Ming government and its army, it would never be possible for them to act as quickly and effectively as our troops. "

Thinking about the behavior of the officials in various parts of the Ming Dynasty and the appearance of the Ming army, Yan Ermei had to nod, "That's true."

After chatting for a while, Li Changwen stopped talking in circles and asked directly: "Brother Yan has come to see me, but are you willing to join my army and work together on great things?"

Yan Ermei smiled and said, "That's true."

···
Liu Sheng is handling military affairs.After Li Changwen introduced Yan Ermei, Liu Sheng had a conversation with him and found that this person was very talented and knowledgeable and could indeed be called a talented person.

Considering that this person was a friend of Li Changwen, Liu Sheng finally asked: "I wonder what aspect of work Mr. Yan wants to be responsible for?"

Yan Ermei said: "I have no experience in political affairs, but I have some interest and insights in military affairs. I am willing to join the military affairs hall and do my best for the commander-in-chief."

Liu Sheng smiled after hearing this and said, "That's good. Our army lacks military talents. Since Mr. Yan is interested, he should join the Staff Department first and serve as a staff officer for our personal guards."

Yan Ermei immediately stood up, bowed to Liu Sheng and said, "Yan Ermei pays homage to the commander-in-chief!"

Liu Sheng wanted to test Yan Ermei's military strategy and whether he sincerely surrendered to the Wei tribe.

He signaled Yan Ermei to sit down again and said: "I have received information that Gao Douguang, Governor of Fengyang, personally led Governor Biao and General Huang Degong's troops, a total of more than 2 Ming troops, to move to Yingzhou.

He also ordered Wang Xian, the deputy commander-in-chief, to lead more than [-] Ming troops to garrison in Huoqiu.What does Mr. Yan think of this? "

After speaking, Liu Sheng personally opened the military map hanging on the screen.

Yan Ermei stepped forward and was amazed to see such a detailed military map.

Then another thing was mentioned.

"Commander, I came from Xuzhou and passed by Guide Mansion. There was a local rebel army that moved to Shangqiu, Bozhou and other places, named 'Little Yuan Camp'.

This rebel army was quite like the Yibu rebels. Every time they conquered a territory, they only killed corrupt officials, bullies and evil gentry, without doing any harm to the common people.

But I heard that Zhu Dadian, the governor of Jiangbei, was leading Fu Biao and Liu Liangzuo, the commander-in-chief, to pursue Xiao Yuan's camp. "

Liu Sheng's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Xiao Yuanying's name must be mentioned in the final novel, so he naturally knows it.But he didn't know exactly when Xiao Yuanying started his act of righteousness or where he was active at this time.

Previously, Guide Mansion was not a target of the Wei Department. With the limited number of spies, there was no intelligence in that area.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoyuan Camp is now in the area of ​​Shangqiu and Bozhou, so close to Weibu!
In order to confirm the news, Liu Sheng asked: "Is the leader of Xiao Yuan Camp named Yuan Shizhong?"

Yan Ermei was slightly surprised and said, "Does the leader know this person?"

"I know a little bit." Liu Sheng nodded, "Why did Mr. Yan mention Xiao Yuanying?"

Yan Ermei pointed at the map and said: "The government troops are stationed in Yingzhou and Huoqiu, obviously to attack Runing.

Although the Wei tribe was not as powerful as Li Chuang on the surface, in fact it was almost divided into one territory, and it had once fallen into Chongfan and Xiangfan. It must have become a thorn in the side of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, Li Chuang occupied Henan Prefecture and Ruzhou. Even if the army considered encircling and suppressing Li Chuang, they had to first deal with the Wei tribe who occupied Runing.

Therefore, if the imperial court comes to suppress you again, it will definitely attack Runing first.

They arranged Huang Degong and Wang Xian in the east, and they would definitely send officers and soldiers to attack from the north.

If the Wei tribe wants to break the siege of the official army, it is best to contact Li Chuang and Xiao Yuanying and persuade them to attack Kaifeng Mansion again. "

Liu Sheng frowned after hearing this and said: "Mr. Yan is right, but it is not that easy to get Li Chuang and Xiao Yuanying to cooperate in sending troops.

Especially since Li Chuang only retreated from Kaifeng Mansion at the end of February. It has only been a month now. Kaifeng Mansion is now heavily guarded. Do you want to persuade him to send troops?Disaster! "

Yan Ermei immediately raised his hand and said, "I would like to serve as an envoy and go to Luoyang to persuade Li Zicheng!"

Liu Sheng pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Yan doesn't know much about Li Chuang's department. Instead of trying to persuade Li Zicheng, it would be better to go to Xiao Yuanying and persuade Yuan Shizhong.

Isn't he being chased by Liu Liangzuo?You can go to Luyi and Shenqiu and come to Runing to join our tribe.

As for Li Chuang, I will send another more suitable candidate there. "

Yan Ermei really didn't know much about Li Chuang's tribe, but she had a good impression of Xiao Yuan Yingze, so she agreed after hearing this.

After Yan Ermei was taken to arrange a place to live by Li Changwen, Liu Sheng had someone call Song Xiance over.

In Liu Sheng's mind, Song Xiance, not Ge Wenyou, was the candidate to send Li Chuang's envoy.

The day before yesterday, Liu Sheng also asked Ge Wenyou what kind of work he wanted to do.

He originally thought that Ge Wenyou would continue to choose intelligence work, but unexpectedly, Ge Wenyou wanted to work in a local position.

As a civil servant who had been transferred to a local government with Li Xianfeng, Ge Wenyou's ability to govern the local government was acceptable.

Liu Sheng chatted with him about local governance and appointed him to succeed Zhenyang County Magistrate.

This place is located in the middle of Runing Mansion, and the county magistrate can only mobilize the security forces and civilian bravery. Even if Ge Wenyou wants to rebel, it will be difficult.

This is not to say that Liu Sheng does not trust Ge Wenyou, but just in case.

Just like Yan Ermei, who was appointed as the staff officer of the Guards, not only had no real power, but also stayed by Liu Sheng's side - this was also a transitional position.

As for sending him as an envoy to Xiao Yuanying, no matter whether it succeeds or not, Weibu will not lose anything.

Of course, Liu Sheng must have hoped that Yan Ermei would succeed, because among the famous peasant armies in the late Ming Dynasty, only Xiao Yuanying could take his fancy.

Not long after, Song Xiance, now the staff officer of the General Staff Department, came to Liu Sheng.

When Liu Sheng explained the matter, Song Xiance suddenly felt embarrassed.

"With such an important task, I'm afraid it will be difficult for my subordinates to handle it, and I will fail the commander-in-chief's trust."

Different people have different uses, and different methods are needed to treat different people.

Liu Sheng had known Song Xiance for a long time and was not upset when he heard this. Instead, he patted Song Xiance on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Old Song, to be honest, are you afraid of losing your life by going to Li Chuang's place?"

"I don't have any of my subordinates." Song Xiance denied subconsciously.

Liu Sheng put his arm around Song Xiance's shoulders and said, "It's not shameful to be afraid of death. I'm afraid of death too, and I understand.

But since you are receiving my salary and your family is living a good life with me, you have to do things for me, right? "

Song Xiance wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Liu Sheng's next words.

"As long as you remember two words and identify two people, you will not only not lose your life when you go to Li Chuang's place, but you will also be treated as a guest."

Song Xiance's curiosity was aroused and he asked: "I wonder which two words it is? Which two people?"

　Second more.
