After the whole sect traveled to ancient times, I led the rebellion

Xia Yue and Mu Qing only contacted Mu Qing after the epidemic began.

Mu Qing's symptoms have almost disappeared, and his complexion has returned to normal. He only needs to wait for a few more days of isolation to confirm that he is fine before he can leave Area 3.

She was happy to see the emergence of the second force among the four cities, namely the underground team led by Xia Yue.

The refugee army has been in power for too long, and the common people have been bullied by them and have become unrecognizable.

Especially an outbreak of plague.

According to the information sent back by the spies, Chen Shui not only robbed medicine but also robbed people, which was a complete act of robbery.

Anping has such a neighbor. Although Mu Qing is armed with hot weapons, he is not worried about the refugee army attacking the city.

But in the future, unless there are any accidents, Guangsha, Shu, Dao and Nanwei will all be incorporated into Mu Qing's territory.

Anping's temporary rest and recuperation does not mean that it does not have the strength to send troops.

Grenades and explosives have enormous destructive power. In the last war, their explosive power killed many militiamen.

As long as Mu Qing controls gunpowder, the balance of victory in the war between the refugee army and Mu Qing will be hard to avoid.

The refugee army has changed several leaders. If Li Min was still there, Mu Qing would not be so sure.

Unfortunately, both Qiao Yuanqiong and Chen Shui became arrogant after becoming the leaders of the refugee army.

Having soldiers and using them are two different things.

The news from the last war and the information passed back by An Yin are enough to prove that Chen Shui is a man of courage but no strategy.

People who act like this are not to be feared.

Mu Qing originally planned to develop for a while, preferably after the flintlock rifle was invented, before launching the Northern Expedition.

That is to attack Guangsha, Southern Wei, and the millet and rice in the north.

Obviously, the outbreak of the plague was destined to ruin Mu Qing's plan.

The epidemic of this era is similar to the modern epidemic. While isolating, some work in the factory will also be stopped.

The output during this period is low, and Anping's economy will not grow but will decline instead.

After the epidemic in the 21st century, China's overall economic environment was affected.

The economy is in a downturn and consumption is downgrading.

The economies of all countries in the world have entered a recession, with only a few countries such as China and Vietnam maintaining growth.

Mu Qing will recuperate for at least one or two years before sending out troops.

War costs money and manpower.

If Mu Qing does not send troops, while Anping is recuperating, the refugee army is also recuperating. It is possible that they will harass Anping from time to time.

Neighbors like this are terrible.

And after the refugee army has killed all the people in these four cities, Mu Qing will send troops to occupy them.

After Mu Qing takes over, these four cities will probably be just shells left.

It would be easy to start over, but I'm afraid everyone will die.

Land is secondary. What Mu Qing wants is people. After all, Anping is so large that it can easily accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.

If you don't have enough troops to guard a city when you attack it, it will easily be captured by others just after you capture it.

Just like when a cow eats grass, it swallows the grass and then spits it back into its mouth and chews it repeatedly in order to better digest and absorb it and strengthen itself, until it is strong enough to eat it in one bite.

Mu Qing's main purpose in attacking the four cities was for the people in these four cities.

All the citizens within the four cities can be considered as laborers. Whether they work in factories or grow rice, the labor value they create is enormous.

But in Chen Shui's hands, it is obvious that these people are unable to maximize their labor value.

And the number of people was decreasing, Mu Qing couldn't remain indifferent.

The will is there but the strength is not enough. If another force rises up in these four cities to fight against the refugee army, there will be internal troubles and Chen Shui will not have the energy to harass Anping.

Naturally, the attention of the people in the four cities will also turn to Xia Yue.

It can be said that Mu Qing fully supports the emergence of Xia Yue's force.

Like Li Min, Xia Yue was once a doctor, whether he was truly serving the people or for his own benefit.

Now he stood opposite the refugees.

If the refugee army is strong, Mu Qing will support Xia Yue.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend" is called "Hengzong", while "the enemy of my enemy is still my enemy" is called "Lianheng".

The vertical one unites the weak to attack one strong one; the horizontal one unites one strong one to attack the weak ones.

The strategy of uniting vertical and horizontal forces was first promoted and implemented by the diplomacy and military policy advocated by the diplomats during the Warring States Period.

To support the enemy of my enemy is to support my friend.

It is impossible to aid the enemy. Xia Yue is still a friend for the time being, and it is reasonable for Mu Qing to aid his friend.

As long as the two sides can fight, it will be beneficial to her as a third party.

So when Xia Yue wrote to Mu Qing, Mu Qing gave Xia Yue the newly made weapons without hesitation.

Of course, it’s not free.

Mu Qing does not accept verbal agreements and only accepts cash settlement.

The money Xia Yue sent arrived at the warehouse yesterday.

The other letter in Mu Qing's hand was written by Du Congsheng, a doctor from Shucheng.

There is a major epidemic in Shucheng and there is no cure.

The content was consistent with what Xia Yue told Mu Qing about the current situation in Shucheng and the news from the spies.

Du Congsheng did not come to Anping to ask for medicine, but to request Anping to send troops to capture Shucheng and rescue the people in the city.

Mu Qing read the contents of the letter several times.

Du Congsheng was sincere and genuinely cared about the people of Shucheng.

In Du Congsheng's eyes, Chen Shui was simply not capable of shouldering the responsibilities of the lord of four cities. The only solution he could think of was to let Mu Qing replace Chen Shui.

Mu Qing read the letter but did not give a clear response to Du Congsheng's request for help.

The Xia Yue faction is gradually showing up in Shucheng, and it won’t be long before Du Congsheng receives the news.

Instead of making unrealistic promises to Du Congsheng, Mu Qing told Du Congsheng directly that he could not get what he wanted.

But when it comes to winning the hearts of the people, Mu Qing will not be stingy.

There is no medicine, but giving food is a token of Mu Qing's appreciation.

Anping itself was also short of medicine, and Mu Qing could not save the people of Shucheng.

Li Min has been studying disease classification these days.

Most of the deceased were elderly. They had high fever and chills but no cough during the illness. Li Min initially suspected that it was a type of malaria.

But more patients are prone to coughing.

If you are infected with malaria, you should not cough much.

Li Min thought about it and couldn't figure out what went wrong.

Mr. Tang Li came to the clinic to help. Although he was protected, he was still infected with the disease.

"Teacher, don't worry about me. Just stay away from me. If they get infected, I can go take care of those children."

When Tang Li saw Li Min wanted to take her pulse, she quickly refused. Now she was infected and Li Min was an old man.

Tang Li was afraid that Li Min had also been infected with the plague.

"I know it in my heart."

Li Min raised his hand to feel his pulse, which was clear and showed the symptoms of typhoid fever.

Li Min felt the pulse of several people again. He could feel the typhoid fever he had experienced before, but he was not sure about the pulse of others.

There is some difference between the two pulse conditions.

Li Min paused and suddenly thought of something.

"Yes, two kinds of pulse!"
