Chapter 524: Plague Haze
Jincheng. Reading
Temta sat 20 meters away from Mulehongzhen.
Although he never entered within 30 meters when looking for smallpox patients.
But for safety reasons, he had to keep a distance from his father Khan.
Lest the great Khan be infected with the terrible smallpox.
After all, as far as he knew, an emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty once died of smallpox.
It can be seen that even the imperial physician was helpless against this terrible plague.
"Father Khan, the child has driven a thousand slaves into the camp, and they will soon be infected with smallpox." Timta said.
Mulehongzhen nodded.
He finally waited for this moment. This time, in addition to finding a person infected with smallpox on the grassland.
He also dispatched people who had been infected with smallpox and survived from all over Beidi.
Because Ivan assured him that people who had smallpox would not get smallpox again.
These people can contact people with smallpox.
"It will take them ten days to get sick. By then, the Khan can ask them to collect things that the infected have touched and find a way to throw them to Yanguan." Ivan said.
This is his whole plan.
Mulehongzhen nodded with satisfaction and said to Ulanba: "Have you chosen the people going to Yanguan?"
"Father Khan has chosen them. They used to be archers in the Xiliang army." Ulanba looked to the south and smiled cruelly.
This time, he wanted to see how the King of Yan would deal with it.
As they were talking, suddenly the surrounding Beidi soldiers raised their heads and looked up at the sky.
With a look of fear.
I saw many pieces of paper falling like snowflakes.
Above their heads, a black dot was moving slowly.
"Hot air balloon." Ivan was shocked.
Seeing it with his own eyes, he finally believed that what Mulehongzhen said was true.
The King of Yan they talked about really knew how to make hot air balloons.
"Father Khan, be careful, hide quickly." Ulanba shouted.
The soldiers immediately surrounded Mulehongzhen and ran into the house.
The whole grassland now knows that Enke was killed by this thing.
They will never let this happen again.
So, when they see this thing, they hide.
"Damn it." Mule Hongzhen almost bit his teeth while hiding under the eaves and looking at the hot air balloon.
These days, these pieces of paper floating down from the sky have appeared in coastal counties one after another.
They basically came from Yanguan to the north, and now it is finally Jincheng's turn.
"Jincheng is too close to the sea." Ulanba frowned.
It is no more than thirty miles from the coast to Jincheng.
When the King of Yan sent troops to attack Ningjindusi, they made trouble near Jincheng several times.
Unexpectedly, the King of Yan's hot air balloon has now flown over Jincheng.
"What does the paper say? Is it the same as in other counties?" Mule Hongzhen asked.
Ulanba nodded and held the palm-sized piece of paper in front of him.
"Father Ningjin, we have been separated for more than ten years, and the hatred is endless. Now the King of Yan has great ambitions and wants to take back his homeland. He wants to return you to a peaceful and prosperous era. Remember not to lose your determination, rather die than surrender, break free from the cage, and recover your hometown..." Ulanba read it softly.
On the other side of the paper there are some pictures.
It depicts the soldiers of Yanzhou and the people of Beidi hugging each other.
"Like the ones sent by other counties, this King of Yan is really wishful thinking. I just hope he will get smallpox and die this time." Ulanba cursed viciously.
Mule Hongzhen thought so in his heart, but did not say it out loud.
"Does he think that with these few small pieces of paper, he can stir up the Dasong people of Ningjin Dusi to resist us Beidi? What a joke, I'm afraid he doesn't know that we killed them with swords back then." Mule Hongzhen looked to the south, "Let him be proud for a few more days, and he will cry soon."
At the same time
The fluttering pieces of paper also fell on the camp outside Jincheng.
In the camp, more than a thousand Dasong slaves looked at the pieces of paper falling from the sky in confusion.
A young slave over 30 years old picked up a piece of paper, just looked at it, and burst into tears.
He used to be a scholar. When Ningjin Dusi was broken, he did not escape after all and was captured by Beidi soldiers.
Since then, he has been driven by Beidi people to cut trees and mine for many years, and has survived until now.
But the damn Beidi did not let him go after all.
After being driven into the camp, there were special Beidi soldiers who took them to a tent.
After he went in, he saw at first glance that the person lying on the ground had smallpox.
Forced to kiss the man's feet, they were driven out again and replaced by another group of people.
Now, they are just waiting to die in this camp.
He knows very well that only one out of ten people who get smallpox survives.
"Is the King of Yan coming? Unfortunately, I can't wait for this day." Zhuang Ai wiped his tears.
His white palms, which used to read and hold a pen, had become black and full of cracks, and several nails had fallen off.
This wipe left a stain on his face.
"It's coming down, it's coming down..." When he was feeling sad, the slaves suddenly pointed to the sky.
The black spot in the sky was getting bigger and bigger.
At this time, he saw clearly that it was a thing like a balloon.
Like other slaves, Zhuang Ai stared in surprise for a while, and suddenly realized something.
Beidi drove them into this camp to infect them with smallpox.
If you want to kill these people, there is no need to use such a troublesome method.
Moreover, the outside of this camp is very tightly guarded. It seems more like Beidi is planning something, which is definitely not a good thing.
Seeing that the hot air balloon was getting closer and closer, and there seemed to be people on it, he felt it was necessary to spread the news.
After all, the piece of paper was thrown down by this thing, it must belong to King Yan.
Thinking of this, he immediately whispered a few words to the people around him.
The people around him were all the slaves who usually lived with him, and they were very familiar with each other.
He also told them about smallpox.
At this moment, these people are as desperate as they are.
This despair turned into overwhelming hatred for Beidi.
Death is everywhere, and now they have nothing to fear.
After some exchanges.
He led the familiar slaves to stand up and drove the surrounding slaves away, leaving only themselves.
Zhuang Ai immediately asked them to stand according to his command.
The Beidi soldiers guarding them looked at them and felt strange, but they didn't notice anything unusual and ignored them.
Just looking at the sky like the rest of his slaves.
now.
On a hot air balloon flying in the sky, three soldiers were observing the camp.
Today, they took off from a warship on the sea east of Jincheng and flew specifically to drop leaflets over Jincheng.
This is the order given to them by the Propaganda Department.
At the same time, they also received an order to take a closer look at the camp outside Jincheng.
This order was given to him by the Control Yuan and the Fourth Yuan.
At this moment, the movement below caught their attention.
The shape of some slaves standing in the clearing seems to be two words.
