Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

"It's almost September, if Mr. Lin and the others don't come back, the snow is about to fall." Staying in Wokuowei with nothing to do, except walking four or five miles every day to cut trees, that is, to build wooden houses, wooden villages, and take turns. It's a kind of relaxation to be on guard duty. It's no wonder that Xie Sinian's subordinates are a little bored with this monotonous life, and they are even dissatisfied with Lin Wenlan and others who let him fall into this kind of life. "Once the mountains are covered by heavy snow, they will not be able to come back even if they want to come back."

"Isn't it because they are all in the hands of the Tartars?" It is actually taboo to say this, but the agreed time for the two sides to meet in mid-August has already passed, and some sailors can't help but speculate suspiciously. "If that's the case, we'll be in danger. If the Tartars send sailors to block us, it's a dead end."

"What nonsense." The veteran with the title of Lieutenant of Jiupin Dunwu shouted at the two who were chattering. "Let us adults know, and you will be fined for cleaning the deck ten times and eight times."

Cleaning up the deck is not simply a matter of wiping and wiping. According to the regulations of the Ming Zheng Navy, which was formulated with reference to some regulations of the British Navy, besides washing the hull, at least one thing must be done to polish the deck with fine white sand. After all the work is completed , the star officer on the ship has to put on white socks and walk through it himself. If there is no stain or dust, it is considered a pass, otherwise, it needs to be cleaned again. This is the most tedious, tiring, and least popular job on the ship.

A sentry was obviously not intimidated by the veteran, but instead said solemnly: "Tengtou, what are you doing blowing your beard and staring at me? If the seaport is blocked, we will really be birds in a cage."

"The Tartars have naval forces in the northeast, why haven't I heard of it?" The veteran known as the rattan head sneered. "I don't think you're afraid of the Tartar navy, but you can't hold back anymore and want to find a place to vent your fire. Would you like me to show you the way? See if you swim straight there. You will arrive in Japan in five days, five days. , the Whale House there is full of girls."

"Tengtou, aren't you kidding me? After five days, if you still swim through, then I won't be able to do it"

The sentry hadn't finished slapping, when suddenly a figure flickered on the ridgeline, and several people suddenly became nervous.After a while, several unkempt figures appeared on the edge of the forest, and one of them seemed to be carrying something behind him.

Seeing these uninvited guests approaching firmly in his direction, a sentry immediately fired a gun into the sky: "Who is it? Go one step further, don't blame our men for being merciless."

But before he finished speaking, the veteran beside him gave him a push: "Hurry up, light the smoke, Master Lin and the others are back!"

When Xie Sinian, who came over after hearing the news, changed from the boat to a small boat and rowed to the shore, Lin Wenlan and his party had already been escorted over. For someone who had no breath, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "How did it become like this?"

When we parted at the beginning, Lin Wenlan had sixteen people under his command, but now Xie Sinian looked around, even counting the half-dead Lin Wenlan himself, there were only six Zheng Jun scouts who appeared in front of him. In just a few short months, Xie Sinian couldn't help being surprised by such a high loss rate.

However, being surprised can no longer save the life of the deceased, but Lin Wenlan is still breathing, so the most important thing right now is to save his life, so Xie Sinian immediately ordered to his subordinates: "Send Master Lin to the boat, and then tell the boat, let the doctors prepare cure."

Through the flag, when Lin Wenlan was hoisted onto the ship, the doctors on board were already waiting on the deck, so as soon as he saw Lin Wenlan's figure, he immediately started to tear off the bloody clothes first.But it doesn't look scary. When I saw it, everyone exclaimed. A long knife edge extended from under the collarbone to the waist, which was a big opening.The casually bandaged wound had already suppurated, and the stench and persistent high fever indicated that Lin Wenlan was at the end of his rope.

The doctor hurriedly used scissors to cut off the clothes that had condensed with the wound, and at the same time pried open Lin Wenlan's teeth and poured the peeled willow juice fried in vinegar into his mouth. Flowing out of the mouth.Seeing this situation, the doctor took a sip by himself and crossed over, so that Lin Wenlan managed to take a few sips.

After finishing this step, the doctor swabbed Lin Wenlan's body with salt water, which seemed to affect the wound. Lin Wenlan, who was completely unconscious, squinted his eyes and still frowned, but the doctor didn't intend to stop.He used a candle to burn the relief knife on his body, and then cut Lin Wenlan's chest.

"Stop!" The several Zheng Jun scouts who escorted Lin Wenlan back yelled in fear. "What are you doing!"

Seeing the scouts clenched fists ready to rush forward to interfere with the rescue of the doctors, Xie Sinian immediately ordered: "Stop them!"

Several sailors on the upper deck immediately hugged the forward scouts, and at the same time kept persuading: "Brothers, don't get me wrong, Doctor Ma is saving Lord Lin, you all calm down , but now on the ground of this family, no one will watch Mr. Lin die."

Several Zheng Jun scouts struggled a few times at the beginning, but only later realized that Lin Wenlan would not be harmed, so they all sat down on the deck with their feet limp, their hands covering their faces, their shoulders trembling, and listening. You could tell by the sound that they were sobbing.

"Men don't cry when they cry, Mr. Lin is still dead, why are you crying?" Xie Sinian walked over and scolded several people, it was strange to say that when he scolded them, the movement of several people was still It was really small, so Xie Sinian took the opportunity to inquire. "You have suffered a lot these past few months, can you tell me what's going on?"

"Six brothers were lost in Changbai Mountain before arriving in Acton," several Zheng Jun wiped their tear-stained faces indiscriminately, and raised their heads to respond to the officer's question. "There was no damage when exploring the roads in various places in Jilin. I returned to Acton safely and safely at the appointed time. The big guy was very happy and thought that this was the completion of the military order. I never thought that when I passed through Nangang on the return journey, I would go with a group of people. The Tartar vests of the team that came out to hunt beasts were hit."

Through the intermittent narrations of these Zheng Jun, Xie Sinian finally understood what happened. It was nothing more than the Qing army’s secret behavior to blackmail Lin Wenlan and others. The yamen issued a license on the side of the wicker, so I had to fight.

"As a result, two brothers died on the spot." Although the Qing army wanted to provoke and blackmail, they were not prepared to fight, which gave the sentries the opportunity to gather and annihilate this group of enemies, but killing three thousand enemies cost eight hundred Not to mention that the scouts had their own casualties, but more importantly, the disappearance of the hunting vest attracted the follow-up pursuit of the Qing army. "The tartars clung to us and didn't let us go. They managed to throw them off when we crossed the Tumen River, but two more brothers fell on the road, and Master Lin was also stabbed at this time."

"Master Lin woke up several times after he was injured, and said that he told us to leave him alone." Another detective Zheng Jun added. "But the few of us thought that we were almost there, and it would be unreasonable to leave your lord behind, so we took turns and walked back. But although he took it with him, the Tartars chased him all the way. We didn't even have weapons and food. I lost them all, not to mention the medicines, if I picked some hemostatic herbs on the way, otherwise Master Lin would not be able to survive now."

While speaking, the doctor had cut open the original incision on Lin Wenlan's body, stretched out his hand to check the position of the internal organs, and then sewed it up again with fish gut, and then removed large pieces of necrotic muscle, and pressed on the newly created wound. The peeled dried persimmons help stop the bleeding.When the bleeding stopped, the doctor ordered someone to find bird eggs to break the layer of film that peeled off the inner shell, and then stick them on the wound surface one by one, which is said to prevent suppuration.After the film was attached, the operation process was finally completed. At this time, even the doctor himself was already sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

The doctor washed his hands with salt water, and then fished out a clean sackcloth from the basin soaked in dried plums to re-wrap Lin Wenlan: "I can only be regarded as doing my best. It's been too long, and it depends on him whether I can hold on." For myself, if the fever can subside, then there is still hope, if the fever does not subside."

Doctor Ma hesitated to speak, but Xie Sinian could understand the subtext, but the other party had tried his best, and he couldn't be harsh, so he could only hand over his hand and thank his unconscious colleague: "Thank you Physician Ma helped."

"If the fever subsides, give him a few slices of ginseng to make a decoction, maybe he can be relieved." Dr. Ma shook his head and did not accept Xie Sinian's gratitude, but only warned him with the heart of a doctor. "However, that's it. When we arrive in Jeju, we still have to let him disembark to recuperate. Otherwise, even if he is cured, the root cause of the disease will also fall."

Seeing Lin Wenlan being carefully carried into the inner cabin, Xie Sinian ordered: "Send a signal, let's go back!"

The boat slowly sailed away from the bay, looking at the land in the distance, Xie Sinian asked several scouts: "Where is the thing?"

Several scouts looked at each other, unbuttoned their clothes one after another, and took out one or several furs that were obviously cut off from their arms: "The map was divided when we were in Acton. They all recorded the detected information according to the secrets of the department, but Mr. Xie, it is not in accordance with the rules to hand it over to you now."

"Then you guys will keep it first." Since the scouts raised doubts, Xie Sinian simply refused to accept the blood-stained furs. "However, I remind you that you'd better prepare an extra copy, just in case?" Sailors are taboo to say that they are in shipwreck, so Xie Sinian just ordered. "Perhaps more protection"
