Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

Fan Zheng naturally didn't know that the poems he and Li Qingzhao had once again caused a sensation in Kaifeng City. At this moment, he was heading west to Pingxia City. At the same time, he also had a task to collect Zhentian Lei materials.

There was not a lot of gunpowder in the Song Dynasty, and the armies in the northwest also had many gunpowder weapons that could be used directly.

What is most lacking now is the square iron shell of Zhentian Lei. After a night of casting, and with the strong industrial capabilities of the Ministry of Industry, 300 square shells were finally cast, and all of them were taken away by Fan Zheng.

Three hundred square shells can make three hundred thunderbolts, which is still a drop in the bucket for the arduous task of defending Pingxia City. Fortunately, Zhao Xu has already rushed eight hundred miles and ordered the counties along the way to mobilize blacksmiths to secretly make squares. Iron shell.

Fan Zheng arrived at Zheng County, the nearest city from Kaifeng. The magistrate of Zheng County, who had already received the secret order, had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Fan Taicheng, Zheng County has few people and few resources, so we can only build more than a hundred square iron shells!" the magistrate of Zheng County said helplessly.

At this time, Zheng County has not yet risen, and it is not yet a transportation hub for later generations. It is far less large-scale than Kaifeng, Luoyang. In addition, the time is tight, and it is already a great effort to be able to supply hundreds of square iron shells.

"It doesn't matter! Just do your best!"

Fan Zheng did not deliberately embarrass himself. With a wave of his hand, a group of forbidden troops came to receive the hundreds of iron shells.

"Thank you for your understanding, Fan Taicheng!" The magistrate of Zheng County breathed a sigh of relief. The cast iron casing was urgently sent from Kaifeng City 800 miles away, and he did not dare to show any slights.

"Of course, these hundred and ten are not enough. Zheng County must continue to cast square iron shells! Use the post station to transport the cast iron shells to Jingyuan Road every day, and a thousand squares will be transported to Jingyuan Road within five days. Iron shell!" Fan Zheng ordered directly.

Once Pingxia City is completed, it will definitely arouse a strong reaction from Xixia. There is not much time left for the Song Dynasty. The extra five days to transport supplies may be the limit.

Although Zheng County's output was small, the advantage was that it got the drawings early and had enough time to cast the square iron shell and then use the inn to send it to Pingxia City as quickly as possible. It was completely in time.

"A thousand?"

The magistrate of Zheng County frowned and said, "There are not many blacksmiths in Zheng County. The craftsmanship of this kind of checkered iron shell is quite demanding. The output can only be hundreds of pieces a day. I am afraid that it is not enough to make a thousand pieces in five days."

"Fan will subsidize five hundred coins for each square iron shell! Within five days, the more the better." Fan Zheng said calmly.

"Five hundred coins!" the magistrate of Zheng County exclaimed. One iron case costs five hundred coins, and one thousand is not five hundred coins. This is not a small amount for Zheng County.

"I promise to complete the task!" The magistrate of Zheng County said without hesitation. With his position as the leader of the evil doctor Fan Zheng's family, he naturally would not think that Fan Zheng would default on his debt.

Fan Zheng suddenly smiled knowingly. He didn't have much time left in Pingxia City. If he wanted to obtain more thunders in a short period of time, in addition to urgent orders from the court, there was also a huge reward.

Fan Zheng immediately set off without stopping and rushed to Luoyang as quickly as possible.

The person in charge of handing over the checkered iron shell in Luoyang was Fan Zheng's future father-in-law, Li Kefei. Li Kefei couldn't help but sigh when he saw Fan Zheng's appointment document to oversee the army.

He didn't understand that Fan Zheng always took the wrong path and finally settled down with Li Qingzhao. Now he went to the northwest front to supervise the army. How could this be done by a doctor.

"Five hundred!"

Fan Zhengke ignored Li Kefei's embarrassment and looked at the huge number of checkered iron shells in front of him with joy. The scale of Luoyang's city was not inferior to that of Kaifeng City, and the iron smelting industry was developed. He was overjoyed with the five hundred iron shells.

At the moment, Fan Zheng placed another order for 5,000 yuan, which was to be completed within five days. The unit price was still a hundred cents.

Afterwards, Fan Zheng set out again and made great gains in Lingbao, Weinan, Xianyang, and Xi'an. He harvested a lot of square iron shells and offered a heavy reward for five-day orders.

As Fan Zheng went deeper and deeper into the northwest, he harvested more and more thunder-shaking materials, and his mood became more and more solemn.

"Jingyuan Road has arrived!" Fan Zheng said with a shock in his heart as he stepped into the desolate Guanzhong land.

Once upon a time, Jingyuan Road belonged to the land of Guanzhong. Historical changes and the successive invasions of Xixia have caused the land of Guanzhong to decline rapidly. In particular, Jingyuan Road was half-military and half-farmer. Many of the areas were tilted toward militarization, and their development was extremely backward.

"Convey the order from this supervisor to join the Imperial Army who are transporting divine arm crossbows and gunpowder."

Fan Zhengnai didn't set out until the next day. Thousands of Forbidden Army soldiers had already transported a large amount of gunpowder and divine arm crossbows and rushed to Jingyuan Road overnight, one step ahead of them.

"Send orders to all the inns. Once the checkered iron shells from each county are delivered, they will be transported to Pingxia City as soon as possible. If there is any delay, military orders will be dealt with." Fan Zheng shouted coldly.

"Pingxia City!"

The accompanying general of the Forbidden Army couldn't help but be startled. This was the first time he had heard of Pingxia City. The task he received was to deliver the divine arm crossbow and protect Fan Zheng as the supervisor of the army.

Fan Zheng nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, the construction of Pingxia City must have begun."

........................

The junction of Jingyuan Road and Xixia.

Taking advantage of the Xixia army concentrated on Yanyan Road, Zhong Pu led his troops out of Hulu River. Zhang Kai also dispatched a large number of civilians to repair Pingxia City in the shortest possible time.

"General, I'm afraid the drawings of Pingxia City are wrong!" Lieutenant General Yang Weizhong looked worriedly as countless civilians worked hard for three days to lay the foundation for Pingxia City.

Traditional city walls are all rectangular, divided into inner and outer cities, and also have defensive facilities such as city walls, urns, and horse-faced towers.

However, the drawings of Pingxia City were completely the opposite. They turned out to be in the shape of a star. They looked good on the outside, but from the perspective of their soldiers, they were full of flaws.

Zhong Pu said with a solemn expression: "The drawings are correct. These are the drawings from Kaifeng City. With the jade seal of the official family and the tiger talisman of the Privy Council, there is absolutely no mistake."

"But………………."

Yang Weizhong still wanted to persuade him. How could those high-ranking officials in the capital know the cruelty of war? There is an unknown so-called bastion blueprint, asking them to build defenses. If the Xixia army comes to attack, wouldn't it be the same as Yongle City?

"General Yang, be careful! As soldiers, we only need to obey orders." Zhong Pu said decisively.

As the commander-in-chief, Zhong Pu knew better. In order to pacify Xia City, all roads in the Song Dynasty were protecting the city. The Yanyan Road lured the enemy deep into the city, and the other roads all pretended to attack to attract the attention of the armies. Build Pingxia City.

"General! Mr. Zhang has sent word that the supervisory army from Bianjing is coming. Let the general cooperate with him sincerely and be sure to defend Pingxia City." Suddenly, a messenger sent a military order.

"Which eunuch in the palace is this?" Yang Weizhong said dissatisfiedly. Ever since the eunuchs fled in fear of fighting, all the generals were extremely dissatisfied with the eunuchs.

Zhong Pu looked strange and said: "The supervisor who came this time is not an eunuch? It's an imperial doctor."

"The imperial physician serves as the supervisor!" Yang Weizhong couldn't help but smile bitterly in astonishment, "At least there will be someone to treat me after I get injured."

Zhong Pu shook his head and said, "This is not an ordinary imperial physician, but the imperial physician, Prime Minister Fan Zheng."

"Chief Physician Fan Zheng!" Yang Weizhong was about to continue his sarcasm when he suddenly said, "Could it be the evil doctor Fan Zheng! The evil doctor Fan Zheng who discovered alcohol disinfection and recreated Hua Tuo's unique skills?"

"Not bad!" Zhong Pu nodded.

"The evil doctor Fan Zheng who wrote "Man Jiang Hong" after Fan Xianggong."

"The evil doctor Fan Zheng who has a lifelong private relationship with the most talented woman in the Song Dynasty?"

…………

Yang Weizhong asked a series of questions.

This is not because Yang Weizhong is making a fuss, but because Fan Zheng's reputation in the Song Dynasty is too great. He is the number one person of the younger generation. Even if they are far away in the frontier, they have heard of his name for a long time and even benefited a lot from it.

"Exactly!" Zhong Pu responded helplessly, "And you don't have to worry about Fan Zheng running away in fear of fighting to supervise the army this time. This is the latest poem by Fan Taicheng and Li Cainv, and it has been ordered by the officials to be circulated to the three armies!"

Yang Weizhong took the document handed over by Zhong Pu, lowered his head and couldn't help but be shocked.

"I was born as a hero, but died as a ghost! I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross the Yangtze River."

"Since ancient times, no one has ever died, leaving a loyal heart to illuminate history."

The contempt in Yang Weizhong's heart was instantly wiped away, leaving only full respect. How could he be a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death if he could write such poems that regarded death as home.
