Chapter 64 The Treatment of Big Shots

An angry gaze flashed in Chen Ying's eyes, and his eyes were almost spitting out of fire. The newly appointed Li Daozong was assassinated in Gaoping territory. After passing Gaoping territory, it was in Lingzhou. Chen Ying needed to be responsible for the safety of Li Daozong. But something happened to Li Daozong in Gaoping territory. I am afraid that Li Yuan's first reaction was that he was doing it.

Once Li Daozong dies, Li Yuan's angry anger will definitely vent his anger at Chen Ying. It will be lighter to dismiss the office and become a title. Chen Ying will definitely not be a person who is waiting for death, but in this era, he does not want to oppose the Tang Dynasty. Now opposing the Tang Dynasty is just a favorable price for the Turks. Chen Ying is not like the people of this era. The traditional ideological constraints of the king letting the minister die and the minister has to die, and there is no binding force on Chen Ying.

Chen Ying thought about it all the time, but it was absolutely wrong to let Li Yuan think too much. Even if he entered Chang'an alone, he could not let Li Yuan fight to rebel.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying responded to Yang Ze: "Immediately, Chen Huairen prepares surgical instruments and medicinal materials and goes to Gaoping with this supervisor!"

Gaoping is not far from Lingzhou, nor is it close. Under normal circumstances, it takes two to three days for the cavalry to arrive.

Just like Chen Ying's war horses, they are basically dominated by the ancient Hequ horses. With the physical fitness of the Hequ horse, if they run 150 kilometers a day and run for three consecutive days, more than half of the war horses in an army will be destroyed. If Chen Ying wants to reach Gaoping within one day, he will at least risk the price of destroying three or five hundred war horses.

The price was too heavy and Chen Ying could not afford it. Chen Ying knew that during some Mongolian troops' Western Expeditions, even if they had time to fight, their daily propulsion speed was between 150 kilometers and 200 kilometers.

Especially in September 1219, when Genghis Khan's two generals Subutai and Zhebe attacked the city of Eddah in Hualazimo Kingdom, they failed to break through because of the strong fortifications in the city. Zhebe led his army to retreat 500 miles away and rested the team. When the enemy probe learned that Genghis Khan's army had retreated 500 miles away, the guards in the city were relieved and relaxed their vigilance. After the Mongolian army rested for a few days, Zhebe suddenly ordered one night to lead the army to attack Eddah. The army arrived at the city early the morning of the next day to launch a sudden attack. Because there was no preparation in the city, Genghis Khan's army easily captured the city and won a complete victory.

The marching of 500 miles overnight was a great burden for the driver even if the car did not take the highway. However, it was done in Mongolia eight hundred years ago.

This made later generations puzzled, because whether it was 500 miles at night or marching for three consecutive months, or the average daily marching of more than 150 kilometers was not available to cavalry. In ancient China, the special cavalry could travel 800 miles a day, but this speed was built on a complete post station system and was completed by pulling force. The ancient post stations were twenty to twenty-five miles apart, which happened to be completed at the speed of a war horse while raising energy. Each post station takes about a quarter of an hour. If the knight's physical fitness is good enough, it would be no problem to drive 100 miles an hour. But how did the Mongolian army achieve such a terrifying speed?

Thanks to a later program called Baijia Forum, a group of experts were studying the speed of Mongolian marching, and finally they really found out that the Mongolian cavalry did not take the horses but rode horses.

Although there is only one word difference between galloping horses and horses, the march effect is very different. If a friend watches a horse racing video, it is slow to play. When the horse racing charges, there will always be a moment when the horse has four hooves in the air. In this way, the horse's physical energy consumption is very large during the galloping process. When racing for a short distance, the horse's sprint is usually about one minute, but this is just the instantaneous speed of the horse, just like a person running for a hundred meters. However, long-distance racing, the horse will definitely not be able to achieve such speed. Running horses means using the horse to be like a person walking. Whenever a horse's four legs will always have one leg on the ground, and when a horse is walking at a speed, it can save a lot of physical strength.

Chen Ying did not have Mongolian horses, and the endurance of the Hequ horse was far inferior to that of the Mongolian horse. Later in the world, the Mongolian Tiecha horse was marching for three consecutive hours at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour without rest. In other words, in the case of riding horses, the limit of the Mongolian horse was ten hours and six hundred miles.

However, Chen Ying had no choice. He had to arrive at Gaoping as soon as possible and let Chen Chunren take surgery on Li Daozong, otherwise Li Daozong's life would definitely not be saved.

...

Gaoping City (now in Guyuan County, Ningxia), Fu Jian established Pingliang County here in the second year of Yongxing in the Former Qin Dynasty (358 AD), with the intention of pacifying Liang Kingdom. In the first year of Wude, the Tang Dynasty obtained Pingliang County and changed Pingliang County to Yuanzhou, with the jurisdiction of Gaoping, Kaicheng and Great Wall counties.

In the yamen of Gaopingcheng County, a seventeen-year-old member of the Tang Dynasty, Qianniu, was in charge of the Duke of Lueyang County, and the Lingzhou General Administration, Li Daozong, was lying in the yamen with his face as gold paper and as angry as a wandering spring.

Gaoping County Magistrate Zhang Shaoting was so anxious that he pulled off a few beards. Although Li Daozong was assassinated, he had no direct relationship with him, Gaoping County Magistrate, but he had to be punished for his uneasy and inattention. Although his future would not be destroyed, he had to be promoted within three to five years.

Different from other young and prosperous officials, Zhang Shaoting was born in the Zhang family in Tianshui and was a branch of the common people. He served as the clerk of the House of the Gaoping County since the 12th year of Kaihuang (592 AD). He finally died of five county magistrates. Then he got from the position of the clerk to the current position of the seventh-rank county magistrate.

He has just been the position of county magistrate for less than a month. Last autumn, Gaoping County Magistrate Xue Junyan, Hedong, died and began to deteriorate in winter. In early February of the second year of Wude, he died in office. Only then did Zhang Shaoting get the commission to Gaoping County Magistrate. Now this happens in the country. Zhang Shaoting even wants to die.

Now he is almost 70 years old and can retreat safely from the position of Gaoxian County Magistrate. In the future, he will return to his hometown and engraved the "Epitaph of Zhang Gongshaoting, the former magistrate of Gaoping County Magistrate of Tang Dynasty" on the tombstone. He is already satisfied, but who would have thought that such a big leak would appear at this critical moment.

At this time, Zhang Shaoting was like an ant on a hot pan, spinning around. At this moment, Zhang Qianshan, a famous doctor in Gaoping County, came out of the room, known as "Sai Hua Tuo".

Zhang Shaoting quickly came up and said anxiously: "Dr. Zhang, how is Duke of Lueyang County?"

Zhang Qianshan shook his head and said with a sad face: "The situation of the Duke of the State is very bad. Although the arrows are not deep in the flesh, they are too close to the lung lobes. Once the arrow is drawn, you will be careless..."

In fact, although Li Daozong's arrow wound was hurt in his heart, it was not that he was too close to the lung lobe, but that Zhang Qianshan was afraid of taking responsibility. Unlike the hospitals in later generations, in this era, being a health care doctor for the royal family was a good match, but such life-saving work was really not something that humans did.

If you are saved, everyone will naturally be happy, but once you are uneasy, you will definitely lose your head. It is no secret that the lifespan of emperors in Chinese history is very short. The orthodox view has always been believed that because the lives of those emperors "three palaces, six courtyards, seventy-two concubines" were too deteriorated, it led to their general bad health. In fact, it is not the case at all. The Imperial Hospital specializes in treating the emperor's concubines, but they dare not use medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine is three parts poisonous. Who can guarantee that the prescription can be without any problems? Therefore, during the treatment process, these imperial physicians prescribe some stable prescriptions. Not to mention whether the disease can be cured, anyway, they will definitely not find any toxicity, and they will definitely not kill people. Therefore, ordinary diseases can also let the doctors help them, but if the emperor is sick, he can only look forward to God's blessing.

If it weren't for Li Daozong's identity, Zhang Qianshan would have dared to be punished. But Li Daozong's key is not an ordinary person. Although Li Daozong is just a royal prince and a seventeen-year-old duke, he is nothing in Chang'an City, but he is an extraordinary figure in Gaoping County.

Zhang Qianshan didn't want to risk his life to cure Li Daozong's injuries.

Zhang Shaoting didn't know about this situation, but he was in a hurry and had no choice.
