Chapter 424: The Great Plague


The reunion of Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi is definitely a great thing for the Daxi Army.

Today's Daxi is no longer what it used to be.

No matter in terms of military strength or strength, it is completely incomparable to either the Ming court or the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

The small country is in Qi and Chu.

If you want to survive, you must be patient and develop slowly.

Now Li Dingguo plus Ai Nengqi's troops total 80,000.

These 80,000 people may sound insignificant, but they are all elite soldiers, so they are still capable of protecting themselves.

But the control scope of the Daxi Army must not be limited to the vicinity of Jianchang.

It must be extended and expanded.

Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi had reached a consensus on this point and gathered together to analyze the map.

"Nengqi, I think the biggest opportunity now is to attack Yunnan.

It is not necessary to attack Kunming, but it is necessary to plunder the resources of several states and counties."

Originally, Li Dingguo didn't want to take advantage of Yunnan.

Because there is another famous general Qin Liangyu stationed in Yunnan.

But not long ago, Qin Liangyu suddenly died of illness, leaving Yunnan without a leader.

Although there is still Mu Tianbo, Duke of Guizhou, his military talent is limited after all, and he cannot carry the banner handed over by Qin Liangyu.

In comparison, the Ming army in Sichuan was much stronger.

Most of them were the original Chuang army, and after accepting the imperial court's surrender, they transformed into the Ming army.

The fighting power of these armies is very powerful and fierce, even Li Dingguo has to be afraid of them.

And that Wen Anzhi, I don’t know what kind of charm he has, but he can actually make a group of generals bow their heads and obey orders without any hesitation.

After Li Dingguo fought with them once, he knew that with the current strength of the Daxi Army, the Sichuan Ming Army had little chance of winning in a head-on confrontation, so he retreated to the next best thing and wanted to conquer Yunnan.

Ai Nengqi pondered for a moment and said: "Although Yunnan is good, it is too far away from the Central Plains after all.

I'm afraid that after entering Yunnan, the anger in our hearts will be released."

Li Dingguo shook his head and said: "Yunnan is far away from the Central Plains.

Is Sichuan close?

Of course, I was opposed to my adoptive father when he first entered Sichuan, but this does not mean that I am opposed to entering Yunnan now.

One moment and another moment.

Now we are The first priority is to survive, not to dominate the world.”

Li Dingguo's words were truly heartfelt.

The original Daxi Army had more than 200,000 main troops alone, which could be regarded as a prince.

Zhang Xianzhong also proclaimed himself emperor and founded the country.

But now, the Great Western Army only has 80,000 people.

What can it do with only 80,000 people?

Living in a corner is already the best result.

If Ming Ting defeated Dong Lu now, or Dong Lu defeated Ming Ting.

As long as any of these happens, the Great Western Army will be destroyed.

"My sworn brother is right, he is so greedy."

Ai Nengqi paused for a moment and then continued: "Brother-in-law has been to Yunnan.

How is Yunnan different from Sichuan?"

Li Dingguo smiled and said: "It's basically the same, except that the mountains are higher and the weather is colder.

The boys will adapt."

Ai Nengqi nodded: "That's good."

"Of course, we can't give up Jianchang, otherwise we won't even have a place to stay if our trip doesn't go well.

I just want to discuss with you who will be in charge of Jianchang."

Li Dingguo smiled slightly.

"I'll listen to my sworn brother on this."

Ai Nengqi was still loyal and honest as always, and said harmoniously.

"Well, in this case, it's settled for me.

You come and take charge of Jianchang, and I will lead my troops into Yunnan."

After dealing with Jia Zhang, Sun Rui successfully gained the trust of King Gui and became the medicinal supplier of King Gui's palace.

Even though it was just a small change, it allowed him to get close contact with some key figures in Prince Gui's palace, such as Huang Jin.

Eunuch Huang can be regarded as the confidant of King Gui.

Talking to Eunuch Huang is equivalent to talking to King Gui.

Of course Sun Rui would not want to poison King Gui directly.

After all, after such an incident, King Gui will definitely be more cautious, and his mistakes will be exposed if he is not careful.

Sun Rui feels that the value of continuing to lurk is obviously higher than fighting hard.

If this fight fails, not only will he die, but the entire line will be broken.

And he would also alert the snake to make King Gui realize that there were people sent by the court to monitor him.

So Sun Rui decided to go step by step and try to get more useful information for the court.

But he said that he would deliver the medicinal materials to Prince Gui's Mansion as usual that day.

After the handover, he went to find Huang Jin.

Eunuch Huang was in a good mood recently.

After training Sun Rui, he was very filial and sent five hundred taels of silver to Huang Jin.

Although five hundred taels was not much for Huang Jin, the feeling of being fawned over was so satisfying.

Like all eunuchs, Huang Jin likes money, even as much as his life.

Eunuchs are not humane, so their desire for money is stronger than ordinary people.

He is always racking his brains to think of ways to make money, and of course he will not miss this opportunity that comes to him.

Seeing Sun Rui coming again, Huang Jin said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Sun, this time the palace purchased more than a thousand taels of medicinal materials from you.

You should have made a lot of money."

Sun Rui said quickly: "Isn't this because of Eunuch Huang's support?

Eunuch Huang is so kind that I will never forget it."

Huang Jin nodded with satisfaction, touched his bald chin and said with a smile: "Okay, very good.

Our family likes people like Shopkeeper Sun who know how to advance and retreat.

Don't worry, as long as our family is here in Guizhou If you stay in the palace for a day, your purchasing business will not be successful."

Sun Rui looked overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Eunuch Huang."

Huang Jin coughed and said: "To tell you the truth, there is a reason why the palace has purchased so many medicinal materials recently.

There is a plague in the army, and people are always dying.

His Royal Highness King Gui is so kind that he decided to spend his own money to purchase medicinal materials for the soldiers to prevent it.

Cure the Plague."

Sun Rui couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this.

plague A plague broke out in Wuzhou.

He had never heard of this news before.

It seemed that King Gui had sealed it off very well.

No wonder.

King Gui recruited an army for rebellion, so naturally he could not just watch all the soldiers he recruited die of illness.

That's why he would dig into his pocket to buy so many medicinal materials.

As for the nonsense about King Gui's benevolence, Sun Rui didn't believe a word of it.

"If it's a plague, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to deal with.

This plague is so fierce that it's difficult to cure it with ordinary medicinal materials."

As soon as Sun Rui finished speaking, Huang Jin sighed: "Why don't our family understand this?

It's just that the matter has reached this point, and we can only do our best and obey fate."

Sun Rui thought to himself that this was indeed extremely useful information, and when he returned to the pharmacy, he wrote it down and sent it to Nanjing.

If the imperial court knew that a major epidemic broke out in Wuzhou, they would definitely take the opportunity to send troops to capture King Gui alive.

Thinking of this, Sun Rui rushed to Huang Jin and said, "It's a very important matter.

I'll go back and prepare the medicinal materials for epidemic prevention right now
