Don't underestimate these five kilograms of sulfonamide. It has been produced for more than half a month. Excluding the part used by senior generals, there is not much left. Ordinary soldiers are not qualified to use the medicine at all, because the output cannot benefit everyone at all. Wounded soldiers.
As the weather gets hotter, the output can only get lower and lower. Even three or four taels a day is enough. It also depends on the quality of the pressure cooker. Up to now, there are hundreds of scrapped pressure cookers, but it is still far from enough. Close to the target of one pound per day.
It is estimated that in midsummer when the temperature is the highest, the sulfonamide production line will have to be completely shut down. Without the guarantee of low temperature, it will be difficult to make one tael, or even one penny, so the five kilograms of sulfonamide given to Zheng Zhilong is extremely precious.
"The production of elixir requires extremely complex synthetic drugs and thirty processes. Therefore, the dosage is only calculated in terms of money. I must keep it properly for emergencies. Before winter comes, I can only give you love. This time, sir, I no longer have any inventory here. It is no exaggeration to say that these five kilograms of fairy medicine are more precious than fifty thousand taels, or even five hundred thousand taels of silver!"
No matter how weak sulfonamide is, it can still have a certain antibacterial effect, which is much stronger than using herbs or erections. Even if it is called poison, under special circumstances, it can also fight poison with poison and play a life-saving role.
But it is very troublesome to make, and liquid ammonia must be synthesized at low temperatures. Without liquid ammonia as the main raw material, sulfonamides cannot be generated.
It is a pipe dream to generate a large amount of liquid ammonia in the hot summer. Even the surface of the earth is sun-drenched, and it is extremely difficult to achieve even in a cellar where a large amount of ice is stored.
Let's put the ugly words first. If Old Fart Zheng wants to reach out for sulfa, it will be impossible. It's not that he won't give it, but that it's not given at all. If he kills his brother with medicine, that's his own business.
Furthermore, first of all, sulfonamide is highly toxic and should not be used lightly. Secondly, it is an extremely expensive item and should not be used to save people except as a last resort.
Five kilograms can only treat five people, and the dosage depends on the patient's injury. For a seriously injured patient like Su Chen, one and a half kilograms of sulfa was used in less than a month, otherwise it would not be able to suppress the wounds all over the body. Infect.
A certain prince had no way to interfere with who Old Fart Zheng wanted to use sulfonamide to save, but he had to make sure he understood the prerequisites for using the drug and not make random decisions. He had to be cautious.
"I would like to follow His Highness's instructions to keep this elixir properly and use it on key people to repay Your Highness's holy family!"
The prince mentioned this medicine as so important and regarded it as a treasure. Zheng Zhilong had seen the injuries of the wounded, so he had a preliminary understanding of this elixir. He would not take it lightly. After all, this medicine can save lives. For all the brothers under his command, It is a great joy.
Although they have been fighting for years, the generals have long been prepared to be wrapped in horse leather, but if they can survive, they still want to live well and enjoy the good days of reveling in wealth and feasting. Having such elixirs is equivalent to adding an extra guarantee to life.
Zheng Zhilong didn't know how much stock the prince still had. Maybe there was really very little left, maybe he was deliberately concealing the truth, but these five kilograms of elixir were truly given to him. It would be best if he got it in his hands. Other things He was not allowed to think too much.
Judging from what Zheng Zhilong saw and heard, it was not like the prince conspired with the heavy responsibility present to deceive him. Almost all of the seriously injured people he saw were either dead or disabled.
They have been able to survive to this day not only because of their own fate and the blessing of God, but also because of the elixir provided by the prince to continue their lives. Otherwise, judging from Zheng Zhilong's experience, most of them would not be so optimistic.
The matter was of great importance, and his life was always in danger. If the medicine was not fully effective, the prince could not rashly reward him with this medicine as an extremely valuable gift, so Zheng Zhilong believed that this medicine was indeed effective at more than five points.
Yaoji nodded, feeling a little reluctant to give up, but no matter how little it was, he couldn't get it. Five kilograms was the limit of what he could provide, and it was definitely a reluctant parting.
But if there was a big fight on the treasure island, many soldiers would be killed or injured. It would not be a waste to give it to Mr. Zheng. A certain prince could only comfort himself in this way.
Then I saw Li Chengdong who was also being treated here. This guy was shot in the leg by an arrow from the rebels. Fortunately, no bones were injured, but a bloody hole was opened and he needed to rest for a while to recover.
However, the doctor discovered that Li Chengdong was allergic to sulfonamides when he was taking the medicine, so he urgently stopped taking the medicine, saving half a catty, and the saved part could be used on other wounded people.
"How is Li Aiqing's health?"
After all, this guy was also the one who was responsible for hunting down Wang Pu. Even though what he did later was not very good, before Gao Jie died, he was still loyal to the Ming Dynasty. He was stronger than Xu Dingguo, who had long been planning to rebel. For the time being, he could still Comes in handy.
"Thanks to His Highness's wrong love, I will finally become as strong as an ox!"
Living here, Li Chengdong did not worry about having no troops to lead after he recovered, because the generals from the Yongwei Camp also lived with him. Li Chengdong felt much more at ease when he saw that he was treated the same as the emperor's direct generals.
Regardless of military rank, the inpatient department of the hospital has enough food and drink. Every wounded person can enjoy a bowl of ramen every day, which makes everyone very happy. For ordinary soldiers, even if you have money, you can't buy such delicacies outside. .
Li Chengdong is no exception. As a native of Shaanxi, a fellow countryman of Xue Guoguan, the first assistant, after tasting it, he became surrounded by ramen. He really felt uncomfortable if he didn't eat it for a whole day.
The only regret is that the portion is too small. It would be great if each person could get three or four bowls. He was not the only one who had this idea. Almost all the patients thought so.
A certain prince stipulated that if the seriously wounded soldiers were confirmed by the hospital, they could enjoy service treatment. If they had relatives and family members in the army, they could stay to take care of the wounded, and those who served would be paid half of their fixed pay.
Although Li Chengdong is not a native of the capital, and his troops are from Shaanxi, his family members are stationed in the suburbs of Beijing with the army. Now many trivial matters around him are handled by his wife and two concubines, and the manual labor is naturally left to the soldiers.
In this way, a bowl of ramen has to be divided into four, which is not enough to eat. Fortunately, in the past two days, Li Chengdong has learned from his colleagues that Superintendent Shang Shan has takeout, so he asked his soldiers to order it. Only then can he enjoy it. The joy of eating and drinking.
The reward given by the prince was enough for Li Chengdong's family, including his soldiers and servants, to have ramen every meal. He didn't need to worry about the meal money at all. But now that more and more people are buying ramen, Shang Shanjian has begun Quota's up.
Sell outside based on grade. If the grade is not enough, you won’t be able to buy enough ramen. Even if you are willing to pay five or even ten times the price, they won’t sell it to you.
Li Chengdong was a deputy general, corresponding to the third-grade official rank. The monthly salary allocated by the court alone was as much as 140 taels. Because he was a military general and had military exploits, he received much more silver rewards than his salary.
He didn't have to worry about food money, but now he was injured again. He was recuperating in the hospital under the order of the prince. As long as he could satisfy his lust for words, he would be satisfied. The rest of the time was spent joking with his colleagues.
"Okay~Okay~Okay~! Don't move. If my beloved's injury relapses, I will feel deeply guilty! Don't be nervous, I just want to see the situation in the hospital. You can continue to have fun. It doesn't matter. !No problem!”
The one with the lowest rank in this group of patients is the Qian General. The reason for gathering together is very simple, just to play mahjong. For a guy like Li Chengdong, who is just starting out, his hands are itchy after not playing for a day, even if he is on crutches. Massacre in all directions.
There are four cloth bags hanging under the table, which contain white silver ingots or ingots, as well as a lot of Spanish silver dollars. These guys have spent a lot of money and may die in battle one day, so they don't care about themselves at all when they play. capital.
Just to feel comfortable, senior generals all have a mahjong table in their rooms. Ordinary soldiers below do not have this treatment, so the hospital frees up some rooms specifically as chess and card rooms for everyone's entertainment.
According to reports from factory guards, depending on the financial resources of players of each level, the prizes for each game range from five copper coins to five taels of silver. There are many ordinary soldiers, and they have to queue up to get to the table. There are a large group of onlookers around.
The rules of the card game are also very simple. Those on the table cannot collude with each other, and those in line cannot tip off. No matter how much money you lose, you cannot be red-eyed or even get into a fight. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to play mahjong in the future, but you will also be severely punished by the superiors.
Therefore, everyone will play according to their ability, and the number of mahjong is limited, so at the table of ordinary soldiers, the person who loses twenty copper coins first will have to automatically go to rest and be replaced by players who are eager to try.
There are no such rules here in Li Chengdong. He always wakes up at dawn, washes up, and reads the "Jingshi Daily" delivered in the morning. After the doctor comes to check and change the dressing, a few people start fighting until sunset.
"Tsk tsk! Aiqing's card... is interesting~! You three should be careful~!"
The prince waved his hand for everyone to continue, and the brothers had nothing to worry about. After everyone took their places, Yaoji took a moment to look at Li Chengdong's cards, and then reminded the other three in a serious manner.
"..."
This made Li Chengdong a little bit dumbfounded. Before he could see any good signs, the prince leaked the news, as if he would be detained soon. This was a warning.
"Knock out these three, touch this, eat this, and then touch these two, Aiqing can take the treasure!"
As a top player, a certain prince has the best strength in the global mahjong industry. Before he came here, he never played mahjong without stroking tiles. He could tell how to play in the court at a glance, so he was more than enough to give guidance to Li Chengdong.
"...Thank you very much, Your Highness, for your advice!"
Li Chengdong also had a bright mind. Following the prince's thoughts, he suddenly understood and hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
"Hmm, then I have rewarded Aiqing for her leg injury, hahahaha~!"
Yaoji waved his hand, looking very generous. In the end, whether you win more or less depends on your ability.
Su Chen, who was sitting at the same table, was naturally not happy and hurriedly saluted and said: "How can your Highness favor one over the other? Xie Rong's capital is the richest among the four of us. In comparison, the three of us are all poor people. ~!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present laughed. What Su Chen said was not an exaggeration. Li Chengdong first participated in the defense of the capital, and then followed Yang Wenyue to attack Wang Pu, and also rescued King Dai. Wang Pu carried many The money finally fell into Li Chengdong's pocket.
This guy's family fortune is not only 100,000 taels, but also 30,000 to 50,000 taels. He is definitely the richest among the four people on the table. I am afraid that the three of them combined are not as rich as Li Chengdong.
A certain prince also knew that this was the case, so he laughed out loud and retorted: "You are all military commanders. There is a saying that 'you lose money at the card table and win money on the battlefield'. If you really lose money here, wait until you recover." , so he went into battle to kill the enemy and earn more money. Today, Taicang, the Ministry of Finance, is quite rich, and I will not treat the meritorious ministers badly. I can earn enough principal after one battle. The reward order of this palace has been sent out. Well, no matter who it is, if you can capture or kill the Emperor Taiji alive, you will be rewarded with one million taels of silver, and you will immediately be made a marquis, hereditary and rebellious! If you kill the flag owner, you will also get 300,000 taels of silver. As long as you achieve the corresponding results, I will be rewarded. The palace will honor the silver reward immediately!"
If you feel that you have lost too much money and want to make some money, it is easy to do. Just go get your hair braided. As long as you are ruthless enough, especially more ruthless than braids, I guarantee that you will be well-dressed and well-fed, accompanied by beautiful women from now on.
The generals of the Yongwei camp are not greedy for life, otherwise Su Chen would not have led his troops to fight to the death even when he was seriously injured on the night when he launched the rebellion in the Beijing camp. He immediately said: "In this humble position, I must serve your highness and fight bravely." enemy!"
It may be very difficult to deal with Huang Taiji, but it is much easier to find ways to kill a flag owner. That is three hundred thousand taels of cash, who wouldn't be jealous?
I only have a few colleagues who are weak in strength. As long as there is a battle to fight and the opportunity is lucky, a few people will agree in advance and then work together to ambush, so as not to be afraid of not killing the bullshit flag leader.
Even if five people share the money, excluding the silver reward given to the subordinates, each person can get a sum of ten thousand taels of silver at least. Do you still have to worry about capital when playing mahjong from now on?
Don't talk about others, these people at the card table are all bosses who want money rather than their lives, otherwise they would not meet here. It is common knowledge that the prince has money, and it will be much easier after that.
As long as the prince opened the mouth of gold and placed a mountain of silver in front of the generals, the following group of thinking guys would not turn a blind eye. Even if they couldn't kill the real pigtails, they would still kill some Han flags to receive the reward.
In the past, everyone was unmotivated because they all knew that the imperial court was poor and couldn't afford to pay salaries. They couldn't even eat enough, and there was no way to talk about silver rewards. So why should everyone be motivated?
It's different now. As long as you dare to do it and have the ability, the Ministry of War will distribute the corresponding reward within five days after counting the results.
Everyone was afraid of poverty before, so under the heavy reward, a bunch of brave men can emerge.
Everyone recognizes money, which is commonly known as "money is the father"!
And the prince has a lot of money, so there is a saying among the people - don't be afraid if you don't have money, just go and recognize the prince's father!
But you can't recognize your father empty-handed, otherwise your father will not reward you with money. You must have a gift.
This gift is either a bandit or a braid!
Go to Canbai with the gift. If the prince's father is happy, he will naturally reward you with money.
The reason for this idea is that a certain prince treated the wounded soldiers favorably. There has never been a precedent for allowing a large number of wounded soldiers to live in the noble mansion.
A certain prince not only set a precedent, but also provided extremely superior treatment to the sick and injured, which made everyone grateful. Many people planned not to return to Jian again after they recovered.
Everyone is more willing to join the East Palace Guards, which is a direct branch of the army. It is said that they are well-equipped and can be paid in full. They can also eat meat every day. In the future, they can follow the prince to eat and drink hot food.
A certain prince is also willing to accept these veterans who have seen blood on the battlefield and use them as recruits with no combat experience. Maybe one day they will collapse when facing the main force in battle. This is all possible.
If it weren't for the thousands of officers and soldiers transferred from the Yongwei Battalion as the core force, a certain prince wouldn't dare to let this army serve as his own armor. Now that they would just queue up, how could they be pulled out to fight head-on?
With the joining of these veterans, it will be somewhat better, but the veterans must also receive corresponding training to prevent them from infecting the new recruits with their laziness. The good ones are not easy to learn, and the bad ones can be learned without learning.
At that time, Wu Qi treated his generals as honored guests and shared joys and sorrows together, so he had Wei soldiers who frightened neighboring countries. He won sixty-four times and eight times, creating the myth of being undefeated in seventy-two battles, large and small.
A certain prince believed that he did not have that kind of military talent, especially against a braid with a psychological advantage, and he had little chance of winning. However, you can treat your officers kindly and win over the morale of the troops. As long as the morale of the troops does not dissipate and their morale is not low, you can use them.
There is a blame-killing father above his head, and there is no famous general who can rival Wu Qi. Therefore, while trying to win people's hearts, a certain prince can only use huge numbers to offset the quality advantage of a braided soldier.
Strive to gather 300,000 combat troops in the northern region, plus 50,000 mercenaries, bringing the total strength to 350,000, and then go against 150,000 to 200,000 braids.
With high-tech weapons in hand, the firepower projection can be converted into the original military strength, which can be enlarged to about 500,000, which means that it can form a two to three times strength advantage over the braid.
A certain prince did not aim too high just because his troops were equipped with airships, tanks, mortars and flintlock guns. The goal within five years was not to lose Jifu and not to allow rogue bandits to become powerful.
After gathering enough troops, they can then unite with the mercenaries and join the Northern Expedition. Only in this way can they have a greater chance of winning. Otherwise, they will end up being stewed by the Emperor Taiji just like the Battle of Saarhu. 11...
