Chapter 282 Vigilante Group
“If there are too many mosquitoes, malaria will be more likely to occur. No matter how bad the smell is, is it important to my life?”
As soon as the word malaria was spoken, Guan Ji and Amei looked a little horrified on the spot.
Malaria at this time was not like malaria in later generations, and there were effective treatment options.
If you get malaria at this time, you will be waiting to go to hell.
The probability of surviving and dying is 50/50.
Stand by hard to survive, those who cannot survive will die.
“Brother, what do you mean, are these mosquitoes capable of producing malaria?”
Guan Ji asked with concern as her eyes widened.
“Mosquitoes do not produce malaria, but they can make people infected with malaria. For example, if there is a person around here who has malaria, if a mosquito bites him and then bites someone else, the second person will be infected with malaria.”
“Then it’s just like this, more and more infections. If you want to avoid getting malaria, you have to kill more mosquitoes.”
Feng Yong helped the two women pick mugwort and at the same time popularized science with them.
“The master is so powerful, he even understands this.”
Amei looked full of admiration.
Guan Ji glanced at Amei and asked thoughtfully, "How did brother know this kind of knowledge? Could it be the two medical books written by Amei?"
After New Year's Day, Feng Yong asked Guan Ji to help copy the Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases. The copy has now been completed, and the bamboo slips are treasured by Feng Yong in his house.
But if Guan Ji couldn't understand such professional things as medical books, how could Feng Tubao understand them? So at this time, he was still waiting for news about Li Yi.
At this time, when Guan Ji asked this question, she could only say vaguely, "Someone in the teacher's sect once said so..."
When Guan Ji saw Feng Yong's reluctance to say anything, she thought about it and was surprised. Could it be that her brother's disciples had done such research on people who had malaria?
Otherwise, why would my brother say it with such certainty?
Thinking of this, he looked at Feng Yong with a somewhat complicated look.
I don’t know what kind of place my brother’s school is, but there are such ruthless people.
It is really rare for my brother to come out of that place and still have the heart of the world.
Perhaps that's why my brother was kicked out and not allowed to return to the school, right?
Feng Tibi naturally didn't know that his well-intentioned science popularization made Guan Ji think too much.
Pingyi County in Nanzhong is the seat of the governor of Nanzhong.
Wang Ping stood on the city wall, watching the people coming in and out of the city gate below, frowning slightly.
Some time ago, the Queen first recruited a lot of refugees from here, and then the imperial court came out uncharacteristically, appeasing all the Han people and making unified arrangements to go north.
Since his son is Zuo Sima, a farmer in Hanzhong, Wang Ping can naturally guess what happened here.
It’s just that although there are very few refugees left in Pingyi County, there is no sign of a decrease in the number of people coming in and out of the city.
The refugees went north, but people started coming from the north again.
And they all come in groups, ranging from twenty or thirty people to as many as hundreds.
The most important thing is that they all carry weapons.
Although they did not carry any strong bows or crossbows prohibited by the imperial court, everyone was either armed with a sword or a knife, which was a serious matter.
Wang Ping, who has been in the army for many years, can even tell that many of them are from the army and have killed people and seen blood. Such people are generally only found among generals.
That should be a piece belonging to a certain general in Jincheng.
When the Nanzhong Rebellion was at its most dangerous, standing on the city gate of Pingyi County, you could see the rebels not far away.
But now, if it weren't for the troops of the city's governor's office patrolling the city all day long, and the chilly atmosphere that filled the city, there would be no signs of war at all here.
Even those people who come from the north never stay in Pingyi County. They usually rest in the city for two or three days. After finishing their rest, they go directly south.
At this time, I saw a group of people approaching from a distance outside the city. There were more than 300 people in the dark crowd.
"The guards at the city gate are ready to close the city gate at any time according to my orders."
At this time, Governor Li had led his troops to sweep southward, forcing the rebels to retreat southward.
If the rebels show up here in a big way, there is only one possibility: Governor Li has been completely wiped out, and no one has escaped to report the news, but this is impossible.
So even though Wang Ping saw that the situation was a bit abnormal, he still didn't worry too much and just asked people to prepare first.
The three cavalry Tanma quickly left the city, then separated and galloped forward.
After a while, Tan Ma came back safe and sound, and the group of people behind him stopped a few stone's throw away from the city. Then several people came out of the crowd and walked towards the city gate.
"Back to the general, the person who came here claimed to be a disciple of General Mi. He said that he had dealt with the general a few days ago and was now returning to Jincheng. The leader is under the city gate, waiting for the general to summon him."
There is only one general named Mi among the Han Dynasty.
That is Mi Wei after the late Anhan general Mi Zhu.
Wang Ping said "Hmm" in surprise, "It turns out it's them, tell him to come up."
"Mi Shiyilang has met the general. He came to pay homage to the general a few days ago. Now that we meet again, the general is still as charming as ever."
The person who came was in his thirties, with an elegant face, and did not carry any weapons. He bowed as soon as he came up and spoke politely.
“No need to be polite. I remember that there weren’t so many of you some time ago. What’s going on?”
Mi Shiyilang smiled slightly and said, "I dare not hide it from the general. This time I went south and I got some gains, so I have more people."
"reward?"
Wang Ping's eyes suddenly widened, "You...caught the rebels?"
“We have captured some, only about two hundred people. We are about to send them to Hanzhong.”
Although Mi Shiyilang had a reserved smile, he couldn't hide the look of satisfaction on his face.
People from the north bring swords to the south, so naturally they are not here for fun.
They all have the same identity, that is, they carry the title of "military group".
Wang Ping's most important job in Pingyi County now is to check whether the people passing by have their qualifications.
If there is one, then it is recognized by the court, it is formal, and it is a reliable one.
If not, I'm sorry, but it means that it is someone who has evil intentions and is an accomplice of the rebels.
It’s just that Wang Ping has not caught anyone who secretly formed a group to go south.
As for the militia that went south, it has nothing to do with Wang Ping whether they captured the rebels or a relative of the rebels. Anyway, as long as there is a rebellion in the south, there will be no good people.
The good people either ran away or were killed.
"According to the rules, these people cannot enter the city and can only stay outside the city. If you want to replenish food, you can send people into the city to buy it."
Wang Ping licked his lips and said with a smile, "Of course, if you want to make walking easier, you can also buy military rations, which are only available in the Governor's Mansion."
“Sure, please, we all know the rules. We won’t embarrass General Wang.”
Mi Shiyilang cupped his hands and said, "The food and grass are too heavy, so let's buy some dry military rations from the Governor's Mansion. But General Wang, this dry food is also a bit expensive."
Wang Ping chuckled and pointed outside the city, "Mi Shiyilang, these two hundred rebels are worth so much food. What does a little money to buy dry food mean?"
Mi Shiyilang and his men walked out of the city gate carrying military rations exchanged from the governor's house.
"Master Eleven, this dry food is too expensive. One piece costs thirty baht. We had to kill a dozen brothers to capture so many barbarians. It's good that they can collect money just by standing there." "
Someone muttered something.
"If you don't want to buy dry food, do you want to buy the food and grass in the city? Are you going to carry it?" Mi Shiyilang said helplessly, "After all, this is the Nanzhong Governor's Mansion. We want to eat meat and drink soup on other people's territory, and let people watch. ?”
"Besides, this thing is very convenient. Two yuan can last a whole day. We can go so far south this time thanks to it. This is a good thing! I don't know who has such a clever idea to come up with it. .”
Mi Shiyilang patted the package on his back and said with emotion.
When I woke up, I suddenly realized that I didn’t seem to have posted the chapter. I quickly got up and took a look, and it turned out to be... I’m sorry, sorry! I'm used to being active in the middle of the night, so I didn't react immediately. I was wrong.
