The royal family of Dongling Kingdom was extremely chaotic and had serious internal strife.
The soldiers of the Jin Kingdom took the opportunity to land on the land of Dongling Kingdom and occupied three cities near the sea in only three days.
Although the territory of Dongling Kingdom is small, it still has more than thirty cities. If they were to trample all the way, they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties. Now, the mighty general meant to force Dongling to surrender and take the opportunity to conquer Dongling.
"Just follow General Mighty's strategy." Yun Chu said, "We must pay attention to keeping up with the expenditures in all aspects, and don't fight a protracted war."
The soldier who reported the news took the order and left.
Yun Chu thought about his previous life, and it seemed that he had never heard of Emperor Dongling being murdered.
But at that time, she was the wife of the Xie family, so she didn't care much about the situation between the DPRK and China, and she didn't know if she had remembered it wrong.
She retracted her thoughts and continued to listen to the performance of the minister.
Now that spring has begun, farmers are plowing and sowing. The situation is excellent, but some water conservancy facilities need to be built to avoid summer floods...
Various major issues related to people's livelihood were discussed together, a charter was agreed upon, and then implemented.
At this time, a minister stepped forward and said: "Reporting to the Emperor and Queen Mother, an unknown plague occurred in Changgan County half a month ago. It was not a big deal, but in just half a month, the plague spread to six or seven counties, and the sick people became more and more More and more..."
Chu Hongyu frowned: "Where is Changgan County?"
"Changgan County is a county seat in King Cheng's fiefdom." Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue replied, "The plague first appeared in Changgan County, and now it has spread to the boundaries outside King Cheng's fiefdom, and it has a tendency to continue to spread."
Yun Chu said: "The plague is spreading so fast, so the sick people must be gathered quickly, otherwise the situation will be difficult to control. How about leaving the matter to Zhu Aiqing, the Minister of Household Affairs?"
Master Zhu came out: "Yes, the Queen Mother."
Although the Ministry of Revenue has no money, it must first use it to deal with the plague, because once the disease spreads, the consequences will be serious.
Master Zhu selected someone from the Ministry of Household Affairs, a Western official who was not his direct lineage, and asked this person to take ten thousand taels of silver, medicinal materials, and twenty doctors to rush to Ningzhou, the fiefdom of King Cheng, overnight.
King Cheng was the sixth prince at the time. He lost an ear due to a conspiracy. Later, he made a mistake and was punished by the late emperor with a fief.
Ningzhou is not too far from the capital, and it is not a remote place. From this, it can be seen that the late emperor was more partial to this unfulfilled son.
In the past two years, Ningzhou's governance has been pretty good, but it did make Yun Chu look at King Cheng with admiration.
Unexpectedly, before going to court the next day, the news reached Kangning Palace——
Yesterday, a group of people who went to Ningzhou with medicinal materials and a doctor were kidnapped by bandits on the way.
This matter was reported to the court, and the whole hall was in an uproar.
"There are actually bandits on the official road from the capital to Ningzhou?"
"Weren't all the bandits of the Jin Dynasty killed by Emperor Shizong long ago?"
Emperor Shizong, also known as the Supreme Emperor Chu Yi, was awarded the title after Chu Hongyu ascended the throne.
"At the time, Emperor Sejong was so popular that the bandits were so scared that they hid. Now that Emperor Sejong is gone, they have regrouped and made a comeback. These ruthless bandits are really nothing. They are life-saving medicinal materials and doctors!"
"The number of infected people in Ningzhou is increasing every day. Hundreds more people will die one day later. This matter cannot be delayed. The bandits must be suppressed and the medicinal materials and doctors must be taken back!"
"Is there anyone in the court who can suppress the bandits..."
The ministers discussed it a lot.
Chu Rui came out, cupped his hands and said: "I recommend Mr. Yun to go suppress the bandits. Mr. Yun is from a family of generals, and the blood of the Yun family flows in his bones. He can make those bandits frightened by the news and defeat without a fight. I don't know what Mr. Yun is willing to do." Take this trip?”
Li Shoufu disagreed and said: "Master Yun is a civil servant..."
"Although the official is a civil servant, he has great skills." Yunze said with a smile on his face, "Just like the regent said, the official will lead the people to suppress the bandits."
His grandfather was a general, and his father was also a general. He also liked wielding swords and guns since he was a child. Later, in order to keep a low profile, he changed to a civilian career.
Now the Yun family no longer needs to keep a low profile, and he no longer needs to hide his clumsiness.
After making meritorious service, he can be legitimately promoted.
Only then can he protect Yunchu and Young Emperor.
Therefore, he must go this time.
Chu Rui looked appreciative: "Okay, Master Yun really has the character of the Yun family!"
The matter was settled like that.
The imperial court asked Yunze to take 300 garrison troops from the capital to suppress the bandits, because the spies reported back that there were only a dozen bandits on the mountain top, and 300 garrison troops were enough.
"Brother, be careful about everything." Yun Chu stood at the gate of the palace to say goodbye. "Chu Rui proposed that the eldest brother should suppress the bandits. He must have hidden evil intentions. In addition to the garrison on the surface, the eldest brother will also bring some hidden guards of the Yun family. The more the more, the better." good."
Yunze nodded: "Don't worry Chu'er, I have my own plan."
At noon that day, Yunze led people to suppress the bandits.
A team of three hundred people is not too much, not too much.
All the way to the official road from the capital to Ningzhou, the most remote place.
"This is right here." The person who escaped last time to report the news pointed to the top of the mountain in front of him and said, "They came down from this trail."
Yunze looked up at the mountain and said, "You divide your troops into ten groups and go up the mountain to see what's going on. It's best to find the bandit's den."
The two hundred garrison troops were divided into ten groups and went up the mountain. Yunze led the remaining one hundred people to check the terrain at the bottom of the mountain.
In less than an hour, the explorers came down and reported: "Sir, there is only this small trail on the mountain, and there are no other traces of human existence. There are no bandits' dens on the mountain, and not even a thatched house can be found. "
The person reporting the news quickly said: "Impossible. I saw those dozen bandits coming down from the mountain with my own eyes. They can't be wrong!"
Yunze frowned: "I'll go up the mountain and take a look myself."
A person on the side advised: "Sir, it's getting late now, why not check again tomorrow morning."
"We don't have that much time." Yunze shook his head, "There are thousands of patients in Ningzhou waiting for life-saving medicinal materials, so there is no time to waste."
He walked up the mountain.
By the time he reached the mountain, the sun was already disappearing.
I walked around the mountain and found nothing.
He curled his lips and sneered.
In fact, there were no bandits at all.
He turned around and looked into the depths of the forest: "Aren't you tired after following me for so long? Come out."
There was a rustling sound in the woods, and then, a man in black jumped down from a big tree.
Yunze was followed by more than twenty garrison troops, who immediately stepped forward to block Yunze and pulled out the knife from his waist.
"Why is it only Mr. Duobao?" Yunze smiled, "Does Chu Rui believe in your ability too much, or does he underestimate me too much?"
"Master Yun is the eldest son of the Yun family. Naturally, our princes dare not look down upon him." Duobao, a young eunuch in black, clapped his hands lightly. At least twenty men in black jumped down from the big tree behind him. He smiled. , "With so many people coming to see Mr. Yun off on his last journey, Mr. Yun probably doesn't feel shabby."
