Qiao Zhiqing's spirit was shocked, and he immediately asked his soldiers to summon Li Jishi into the study.This old man has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and if he comes to visit rashly, it must be that the virus has made progress."
Your Excellency, the old man has given you a New Year's greeting."
As soon as Li Jishi entered the door of the study, he clasped his fists and saluted Qiao Zhiqing, with an excited smile on his face."
Mr.
Li, sit down and talk."
Qiao Zhiqing greeted and poured two bowls of tea and put them on the small table."
President, there's been a breakthrough in the plague you put me in charge of developing last time.Last month, it was tested on a batch of war horses, and the mortality rate was as high as 90 percent.It only takes another two months for mass production.This plague can be transmitted through the air, water, and forage, and the onset of infection is fast and contagious, and it is basically uncontrollable for group breeding. ”Li Jishi took a sip of tea and couldn't wait to tell Qiao Zhiqing."
Thank you so much, Mr.
Lee, you have done President Ben a great favor this time."
Qiao Zhiqing slapped the table excitedly and stood up, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart.He was not only thinking about the Hui cavalry, but also the Mongol iron cavalry that had swept across Europe and Asia.Although they are now gradually falling, they still have a fairly strong fighting force.To encircle and annihilate so many cavalry, relying entirely on the manpower and material resources required by the infantry was something Qiao Zhiqing could not afford."
President, don't worry, the old man hasn't finished yet."
Li Jishi's face calmed down, and he waved his hand to remind."
Mr.
Li, just say anything, we have known each other for a long time, so you don't need to be polite."
Qiao Zhiqing also calmed down, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of it."
President, this cultivation of the plague is also a coincidence.A lot of pathogens were found, and in the end, it was the dozen or so war horses on the presidential palace that were useful.That is, this plague can only be made once.The old man has studied many times in the horse pen of the presidential palace, and no matter what method is used, this plague can no longer be cultivated. ”Li Jishi shook his head embarrassedly, and the wrinkles on his forehead were tight."
That's it" Qiao Zhiqing's face was also a little lost, but he still chuckled and sighed, "It's okay, this kind of thing that violates the principles of heaven is better to use it only once." ”"What the president said is very true, and the old man thinks the same way."
Li Jishi echoed casually, for fear that Qiao Zhiqing would still cling to this kind of thing.After all, once this plague spreads, tens of thousands of living beings will die, which is really against the peace of heaven.He is now old, and he still believes in reincarnation in his bones, but he doesn't want to go to the eighteenth layer of hell after he dies."
Alright, Mr.
Li, that's all for today.Then I'll ask the Treasury to award you a prize for your medical school, as a reward for all your hard work over the past few months. ”Qiao Zhiqing knew Li Jishi's thoughts, and he didn't want to force it anymore.He only needed a little more time to find a way to pursue the cavalry, and he would not be guilty of using such indiscriminate means.In addition, viruses can harm both others and themselves, and if they cannot be controlled, or if they mutate again, they will cause unpredictable consequences to everyone."
Okay, the old man won't bother the president, if the president has anything to do, just call the old man over."
Li Jishi hugged his fists and said goodbye, and under Qiao Zhiqing's greeting, he got up and left the study.Qiao Zhiqing sent Li Jishi out of the door and did not return to the study.He summoned his own soldiers and roamed around the city in a carriage.As the New Year approaches, the presidential palace has begun to be decorated with red lanterns and streamers, which is very festive.This year, Jiangnan once again ushered in a bumper harvest, and the people had spare money in their pockets.Now the firecrackers began to be set off, making the whole city of Nanjing lively.Hong Renji has already handed over the one-year government work report to Qiao Zhiqing for approval, and most of the cultivated land in Jiangnan has been reclaimed this year.It was self-sufficient in food for the first year, and no longer relied on rice imported from Siam.In terms of industry and commerce, because of the various loose policies offered by the government.The vitality of the private sector was fully unleashed, and various handicraft workshops, large factories and mines were put into operation one after another, and for the first time, the proportion of tax revenue reached the same level as that of agriculture.For the first time, the Ministry of Finance's expenditures and revenues have also been balanced, and although several large-scale projects have been built one after another, there has been no shortage of income last year.Jiangnan's development potential far exceeded Qiao Zhiqing's expectations, and the original five-year plan was realized in the second year.Except for the completely unprincipled slaughter of Han people in the northwest, Qiao Zhiqing's mood was really good.Ningxia Jinji Fort, the council hall is lonely.The north wind howling outside the window made everyone in the room sit cross-legged on the kang shiver."
Thirteenth Master, I lost the battle and lost the lives of more than 20,000 brothers.I deserve to die, please punish you" Ma Diankui knelt under the kang, his upper body prostrate on the ground, his hands extended.He only returned to Jinji Fort today, burning, killing and looting all over northern Shaanxi, always wanting to vent all the stuffiness in his heart.Later, after all the grain and grass were exhausted, he returned to Ningxia."
Diankui, I know that you are sincere in your meritorious service, but do you still have me, the thirteenth master, in your eyes" Ma Hualong still had a calm look, put down the Quran in his hand, and looked at Ma Diankui coldly."
Thirteenth Master, where are you, where do you dare to betray your decree."
Ma Diankui's whole body trembled in fright, and he hurriedly begged for mercy."
Really."
Ma Hualong asked rhetorically, his tone was flat, but it was indescribably full of oppression.The muscles on his face twitched, and he continued to say lightly, "Diankui, this raid on northern Shaanxi was originally a battle launched by Shizuishan Mansion, Lingzhou Mansion, and Guyuan Mansion from the north, middle and south directions at the same time.If it is properly coordinated, Huaxing Army has three heads and six arms, and it will not care about the tail.This winter, the people will also be more relaxed.But it's because of you that the whole big picture is ruined.You do not follow my commands, but plunder the grain and grass.But he fought with the Huaxing Army privately.It's good now.Stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice, how do you ask me to explain to the people" "Thirteenth Master, I know that I am wrong.No matter how you punish me, I don't complain at all. ”Ma Diankui's heart was also full of guilt, thinking of the more than 20,000 subordinates who died in vain, his heart felt like he had been stabbed."
Thirteenth Master, Brother Diankui is also for the sake of our people, so he made this decision after being confused for a while.I also asked the thirteenth prince to spare Brother Diankui, Lingzhou Mansion can't do without him" Yinchuan prefect Ma Zhaoyuan was the first to salute and intercede for Ma Diankui, he and Ma Diankui have the best relationship, and the two are like brothers."
That's right, the thirteenth master, the palace leader is also unintentional.You just spare him once, and let him make up for it. ”Ma Qianling, the prefect of Guyuan, also clenched his fists and pleaded."
Father, you can spare Brother Diankui once.The child has negotiated with the Qing court, and the Qing court has promised us to exchange the Year of the Ox for food.With this batch of grain, we will definitely be able to survive this winter. ”Ma Hualong's son Ma Yaobang also pleaded with one hand on his chest."
Alright, I know what you want.But what is guilty must be punished, this is my principle.Ma Diankui did not listen to the instructions and acted privately, causing 20,000 brothers to die in battle, and he was fully responsible.Now remove you from all your posts for the time being, meditate on the wall in the mosque and ask for Allah's forgiveness.Are you willing" Ma Hualong waved his hand, and finally gave an order, and asked Ma Diankui in a loud voice."
Thirteenth Master, I admit punishment and follow your decree together."
Ma Diankui knelt down again, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.He knew that this thirteenth master was strict in governing the army, for fear that he would cut off his head."
Okay, after talking about the matter of the palace kui, now let's talk about how to defend the Huaxing army.Everyone also knows that Diankui's battle was not in vain, and he also let us see the strength of the Huaxing Army.More than 30,000 cavalry went to attack a small city defended by more than 1,000 people, but they didn't even attack the city gate.This is indeed a very serious problem, and we are now at odds with the Han Chinese, and if the two sides fight, we are very likely to face the danger of extinction. ”Ma Hualong analyzed his eyebrows and glanced around at the leaders."
What the Thirteenth Master said is very true, I have been thinking about this recently.We want to compare with the Huaxing army, except for the mobility of the cavalry, there is no advantage at all.It was a matter of time before the Huaxing army attacked Ningxia, so it was necessary to plan as soon as possible.In my opinion, it is necessary to move all the people to Ningxia.First, it is convenient to take care of, and second, once an accident occurs, you can cross the Yellow River and escape into Mongolia. ”Ma Zhaoyuan is the most senior, and he was the first to respond, and his face was also full of sorrow."
I agree, our people live too scattered, and it is very easy to be annihilated by the Huaxing army.If all of them are concentrated in the Hetao Plain and learn from the Han people to cultivate the land, we will be able to become rich in a few years. ”Ma Yaobang also raised his hand in favor."
But if you move all the people to the Hetao Plain, won't the rest of the places be handed over to the Han people" Ma Qianling frowned secretly, his sphere of influence was in the Guyuan area.If they all migrate to the Hetao Plain, they will break their roots and become rootless trees."
Brother Qianling, this is just an expedient measure.When Xinjiang's Agu Boke Berke: The Leader's Intention defeats the Huaxing Army, we can let the people return to their hometowns to live. ”Ma Zhaoyuan responded and explained to Ma Qianling."
This method is good, Ningxia has no Han people, and now the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are large areas of fertile land in the Hetao Plain.We can take root in the Hetao Plain and then use cavalry and Huaxing troops to maneuver.As long as the Huaxing army is delayed for a year, whether it is Agubai or the Qing court, the Huaxing army will be exterminated.At that time, we can live in Ningxia without worry.Therefore, now when treating Agubo and the Qing court, neither of them can be offended.We can't be used as guns by others under the banner of building an Islamic empire as before. ”Ma Hualong's support for the migration will save a lot of energy and free up a lot of space to deal with the Huaxing army.As long as the Huaxing Army dares to enter Ningxia, the logistics supply line will inevitably be lengthened.When the time comes, as long as cavalry is used to attack their logistical supply lines, then their large army will retreat without a fight
