You should spend the rest of your life with Qingqing

Chapter 79
Three days passed in a flash, and Ying Yu dispatched a team of Ying family troops to escort along the road, guarding several carriages carrying imperial doctors in the middle, and headed towards the frontier.

They said they were going to the frontier, but in fact they only went to the garrison city near the frontier. Outside the city was a series of high walls and beacon towers, separating the Hu country from several small surrounding countries one by one.

The Daqi Kingdom has a vast territory. Apart from the natural barriers, the city walls on the frontier are also extremely long. Less than a hundred miles away from the garrison city is the Sacrifice City of the Hu Kingdom. It takes at most two hours to ride back and forth. With the high walls built on the frontier, if it is too late to gather troops, the enemy army will have already approached the city.

Together with Shucheng, there are Lucheng, Pucheng and Licheng, which are bordered by the surrounding Jin Kingdom and Lu Kingdom. The sum of Jin Kingdom and Lu Kingdom is not as big as one-fifth of Daqi.

The state of Jin is rich in ore, but the state of Lu is good at ingenuity. Only the state of Lu can extract the black oil called "shizhi" from the ground. The stone fat can be burned, and people from other countries usually buy it for lighting.

However, the skilled craftsmen of the Lu State did not know how to make a car that could run without using a horse. As long as the stone fat was kept constant, the car could run continuously. objects.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Lu are sandwiched between the Great Qi and the Great Qi, just like two fat meats in a pack of wolves. Everyone knows that whoever occupies the Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Lu will be the overlord of the world.

It is not that Daqi has never had the idea of ​​these two countries, but Daqi has always regarded himself as a state of etiquette, which cannot be compared with the group of uneducated people on horseback in Hu State, so he made friends with the two countries and opened a mutual market.

Since the Kingdom of Jin was willing to accept Da Qi's protection, it became a vassal state of Da Qi and had to pay a certain yearly tribute every year.

However, Lu State is different. Among the powerful countries, Lin Li does not submit to any side.

The land of the State of Lu is almost covered with stone resin. The lord of the State of Lu once said that if another country invades, if the State of Lu is unable to resist with all its strength, he will risk the lives of the whole country and ignite all the stone resin. , Wiping the entire Lu Kingdom from the ground.

Rather Stick to your guns!

Lu's ingenuity can make the army stronger, and all countries have no choice but to obtain Lu's materials through trade exchanges.

The light rain in the capital had stopped early, but the further north we went, the more difficult the road became. The continuous light rain kept falling, and some low-lying places had accumulated half a foot of water, and the ditches below were covered by water. Fill it up, and if you don't pay attention, the person who fell in will disappear.

Ying Yu had no choice but to let the team go around and take the higher official road.As the team continued to advance, more and more refugees were encountered along the way. Some of them had to leave their homes with their families due to floods in their hometowns, and some were sick.

The weather along the way is bad, and most of the refugees are from poor people. They don’t have enough food to eat, and they don’t have enough clothes to cover their bodies. When they are tired from walking, they will find a place that can shelter from the rain and sleep with their clothes. Even the strongest people can’t avoid it. Get ill.

In order to prevent the further spread of the epidemic, Ying Yu ordered people to set up two sheds by the roadside, gathered the imperial physicians and doctors from the nearby city, and divided them into two groups.

One batch was to distribute the decoction to prevent the epidemic to the healthy people passing by, and the other batch was to see a doctor for the sick people, to separate those suffering from the epidemic, and to ask the surrounding cities to send people to strictly monitor and treat them separately.

Stay in one place for up to two days, and before leaving, give the prescriptions for preventing and controlling epidemics to the local governments, so that they must distinguish those who suffer from epidemics.

This has been the case all along the way. A shed was set up on the side of the road, and a cauldron for boiling medicine was set up. Refugees came to receive medicine in a steady stream, and the cauldron never stopped gurgling all day long.
