Feng Yuheng's geographical research of this era is not very thorough. Firstly, she has not taken the initiative to understand it. Secondly, there are no very complete maps of this era. For example, no one can tell how many countries there are in the desert, but people have discovered ten. As for the deep desert, in places that are currently inaccessible by manpower, it is unknown whether there are still countries. .
According to Li Zhu, except for ancient Shu, the other ten small countries in the desert are: Wulan, Xiaomi, Yilou, Weidu, Xiyue, Huxiu, Wennai, Cheshi, Guishan, Nan Wan. The names are relatively unfamiliar, somewhat like the Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Regions discovered by later archaeological discoveries. Although they are all in the desert, they are not in the same direction.
Each of these ten small countries is not big. Li Zhu has been to several places. The largest of those countries is only a provincial capital of Dashun, and the smallest is like a state. Every country relies on an oasis to survive, and it can be considered rich. These countries formed an alliance, but in fact they couldn't send too many troops. According to Li Zhu's calculation, it would be good if the ten-nation alliance army combined could collect 200,000. But the Gushu family alone had 300,000 soldiers and horses. Calculating this, it was still nearly twice as many as Dashun's army guarding Biannan.
Li Zhu was a little worried about the war. He said to Feng Yuheng: "It's extremely hot in Biannan. When you go into battle to kill the enemy, let alone wearing a helmet or armor, you'll feel extremely hot even if you're shirtless. This is Dashun." It is the most difficult stage for a general to fight. On the contrary, those people in the desert have long been accustomed to that kind of climate. Relatively speaking, Biannan is cooler than in the desert, so they can fight with ease and with almost no effort. His strength can push Dashun into a desperate situation. Earlier, His Highness the Eighth Prince captured Bian Nan. To be honest, the battle was won, but the price paid was too high, and the subordinates always felt that it was not worthwhile. The lives of so many brothers were taken into account. We just got Biennan, so there is nothing to be proud of."
Li Zhu complained a lot about the Eighth Prince, but what he said was fair. Feng Yuheng could naturally understand the reason. And the issue she is most worried about right now is the hundreds of thousands of Zhou troops.
To say that the soldiers of Dashun can barely tolerate the climate in the southern area, after all, Kyoto also has summer, and there are also times when it is so hot that it is breathless, but Qianzhou has a severe winter all year round. They are in Qianzhou Zhou was born and raised in Qianzhou, and he joined the army in Qianzhou and began formal combat training for soldiers. Everything was conducted under freezing conditions. Suddenly arriving in such a hot place in the south, those 100,000 people would definitely suffer. No.
Survival may be a problem, let alone fighting.
Seeing her frowning, Li Zhu said nothing more and stood up to leave. Recently, the county has recruited a lot of new soldiers, and he has led them in training. The city defenses in Ji'an County have also been set up little by little, making it very busy.
Feng Yuheng thought that in addition to military supplies and food and grass, she had to think of a solution to the scorching heat as soon as possible, at least not to make the hundreds of thousands of Zhou troops lose their combat effectiveness. Even though she had advanced weapons in her hands, apart from the hundreds of thousands of Zhou troops, the Dashun soldiers brought by Xuan Tianming were less than 20,000, and the gap was really huge.
For the first time, she felt anxious about the war in the southern border. The climate was a fatal factor. Even in later generations, there was no good way to solve it. She could only rely on the physical fitness of the soldiers to support it. But the battles in ancient times were always much harder than those in later generations, and the battle lines were drawn out for a long time. It was okay for a short time, but staying in Biannan for a long time would be a particularly big loss for Xuan Tianming's army.
It seems that her plan to go to the southern boundary needs to be brought forward, and at the same time, she must prepare more heat-relieving medicine and tea in the space. In such a hot place, with so many people, not to mention the lack of supply of ice cubes, even if there is a supply, it will not solve the problem. It will melt in the sun and cannot be used at all. The war still had to be resolved quickly, and she was certain that she would deal with the enemy quickly, but she was afraid that Biennan's 300,000-strong army would secretly stumble and harm her own people.
In Ji'an County, Feng Yuheng has already begun to prepare for military supplies. At the same time, he is also clearing up wasteland in the mountains around Ji'an County and planting various commonly used herbs. Some of these herbal medicines can be sold by Baicaotang itself or wholesaled to medical clinics in other places. For the people in the county and Yuzhou residents, this is another good place for work.
Nowadays, as long as it is Princess Ji'an's job, everyone loves to do it because the wages are high and the benefits are good. The most important thing is that what Princess Ji'an does is beneficial to the country and the people, and if she does it well, everyone will benefit.
At the same time, those who had been sent to the capital to lodge a complaint also knelt down in the Qiankun Hall under the recommendation of the seventh prince Xuan Tianhua, and exposed the eighth prince's evil deeds in public in the morning. When the complaint of a thousand people was handed to Emperor Tianwu, the old emperor was so angry that his whole body was trembling.
He suddenly threw the document in the face of the eighth prince and shouted loudly: "Who gave you the right to seek personal gain at the expense of the people?"
Xuan Tianmo knelt down quickly, but refused to admit it. He insisted that he was harmed by an adulterer, and pointed at those who came to complain and asked loudly - "How much money did your master give you?" ?How dare you slander me like this?"
Those people were also unambiguous. Seeing their former master's current appearance, they were so angry that they were about to explode: "You are our master!" Someone replied: "Repay the money? Our own children Your son's life is at stake. Do you think we would sacrifice our own son to falsely accuse you? Your Highness, you thought we would trust you and obey your orders, but what did we get in exchange for this? You killed the donkey and killed all the donkeys! Today, I would risk my life to expose your crime in front of the emperor and avenge the innocent souls buried under the jade mine!"
After speaking, these people shouted at Emperor Kaiwu: "Please let the emperor investigate clearly!"
Tianwu attached great importance to this case. After all, the mining disaster was a major disaster. He immediately asked the Ministry of Punishments to take over the case. The current Minister of Justice is Xu Jingyuan, the former Jingzhao Yin. When he heard that something happened in Ji'an County, Xu Jingyuan's face sank, he glared at the Eighth Prince and groaned, stepped forward to accept his order, and then said: "Then Please invite the Eighth Prince to have tea at the Ministry of Justice after the morning court!"
Xuan Tianmo flicked his sleeves, with a bad look on his face, and said: "Then please Sir Xu, please handle the case more quickly, and don't delay my arrangement of food and fodder for the war in the southern border. That is a big deal and cannot be missed."
Xu Jingyuan nodded, "What the Eighth Prince said makes sense. Since both sides have equally big problems, why not ask the Emperor to send someone else to take over the task of escorting grain and grass! The Eighth Prince's guilt has yet to be determined, and he is not suitable for the position of escorting grain and grass. ."
Xuan Tianmo's eyes almost glowed with fire. Perhaps Jingyuan was not afraid of him at all. In addition, the seventh prince Xuan Tianhua also said: "Transporting food is a big deal, father, think twice."
Emperor Tianwu nodded, looked around, and finally landed on the second prince. The matter of transporting grain to the southern border finally fell on the second prince Xuan Tianling!
The third day of April is the warmest time of the year for the capital when spring flowers are blooming and the weather is the best. But for the southern boundary, it is hot all year round, and there are no seasons.
In Feng Mansion in Lanzhou, Fu Ya was sitting in her yard, eating fruits sent by Mrs. Zhizhou and drinking sour plum soup made from ice cubes hidden in the cellar. However, she still felt unbearably hot and felt very dry. sharp.
Ms. Yao couldn't see her daughter suffering, so she asked four maids to form a circle to fan Fu Ya. She also held a handkerchief and kept wiping the sweat on Fu Ya's forehead, and at the same time advised: "No more Bear with me, if it really doesn't work, we won't live here in Lanzhou, right? As long as you are with mother, our lives will be the same wherever we go."
Fu Ya shook her head helplessly, "It's okay, mother, I can still bear it." This is not a question of whether to bear it or not. They did not come to the southern border to live a life. They were performing tasks for the Eighth Prince. This is the only way to carry out the task. If you get good results and see the results, you will be able to get some benefits from the Eighth Prince one day. And once the Eighth Prince can successfully deal with the Ninth Prince and Feng Yuheng, she will be the real Princess Ji'an, and she will be rich and worry-free in her life.
A servant hurried over from the front yard to report: "Princess, the pharmacist Fang Rujiang who opened Baicaotang with you is here again. He is at the door and wants to see you no matter what."
Ms. Yao frowned when he heard this: "Didn't you tell the public that Ah Heng was suffering from the heat and would not go out or see guests? Why is that person so ignorant?"
The servant who came to report said: "The news has spread, but the man brought medicinal materials in his hand and said that he came to relieve the princess from the heat."
Fu Ya was so angry that she threw the cup of sour plum soup and stood up suddenly. Yao Shi thought she was going to meet someone and hurriedly arranged her clothes, but Fu Ya said, "Mother, sit by yourself for a while, while the daughter goes to talk to her father for a few words." After that, she hurried to Feng Jinyuan's study. go.
Looking at Fu Ya's back, Yao felt a little empty in her heart, as if this daughter was going to leave her soon. She was clearly right in front of her, but she couldn't hold on to her. The feeling of being farther and farther between Beijing and Feng Yuheng came back again, and Yao was worried.
Feng Jinyuan also received news from the study that Fang Rujiang had arrived again. Seeing Fu Ya coming in a hurry, he said helplessly: "If you can't, just meet her! Baicao Hall has been open for a while. , you have been avoiding showing up. Yesterday, when you were walking on the street as your father, you heard many people talking. Some people were saying that the Baicaotang opened by Princess Ji'an in Lanzhou is too different from the one in Beijing. It looks like a fake no matter how you look at it. Goods. My father thought it was time to show up and give people some reassurance. Lord Ji also sent people to Baicaotang in other provinces early in the morning to purchase those special pills. I believe he will be back soon."
Fu Ya had no choice but to follow Feng Jinyuan to the front yard and received Fang Rujiang in the square hall.
The man was very polite when he saw Fu Ya. Hearing that she had suffered from heatstroke, she felt weak and cold for a while and asked for warmth. He also sent her medicinal materials to relieve heatstroke. But as soon as the medicinal materials were put on the table, Fang Rujiang said: " These are all made into Chinese medicine soup. I don’t think the princess will take such medicine. The good medicine in our Baicaotang has been out a few days ago, and the princess has been without it since the opening of Baicaotang. I have been there. Recently, people always gather at Baicao Hall to cause trouble, so I came here this time to hope that the princess can go to Baicao Hall to sit there. Secondly, I also hope that the princess can replenish the missing medicines. After all, our Baicaotang’s reputation is mainly based on those special drugs, don’t you think so?”
Fu Ya stroked her forehead and felt a headache...
