This year is another warm winter. Since the beginning of winter, to the end of January, the mountains should have been covered with heavy snow in the north and the rivers were frozen. Unfortunately, what is frozen now is just a small river. Large rivers like Sancha River are just on the shore, and there is some thin ice. There is still a river flowing slowly in the middle of the river. In the morning, a thin layer of haze rose and turned into a beautiful and comfortable scenery. At this time, this river is a drinking water river shared by both sides.

When the Eight Banners first entered the capital, Huang Taiji once strictly ordered that soldiers should not use the well water of the Han people to prevent poisoning.

The reason for this order was that in Liaodong, the Jurchens suffered the loss of resisting the Han people.

The Han people resisted the Jurchens. Although they were unable to pick up swords and guns to fight against each other, their resistance was everywhere.

The Eight Banners soldiers and Jurchens who had already occupied the rule found that they needed to be very careful in their daily lives because there were many inexplicable things around them: three or four people were drinking, suddenly falling down, one of them foaming at the mouth, and the other was unconscious, and after rescue, they found that the wine was poisonous; three or four people were eating, eating a small pig that had just been snatched from a Han family's house, which was so fragrant. Given that the wind was relatively tight recently, they were wisely not drinking, and they were chewing the pig's hooves, and suddenly they fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and being unconscious and thrusting. After testing, the pig they ate was poisonous.

Similar things also happened to various livestock. In order to avoid such situations, many Jurchens who were not fond of meat chose to eat vegetarian food. No matter what, life is important! In that era, there were no chemical pesticides, no toxic substances, no chemical pollution, and even aphids were rare. Fruits and vegetables were green, healthy and pollution-free, so it was absolutely safe to eat these. As expected, the poisoning incidents plummeted after eating vegetarian food.

However, the good times did not last long. One day, two Eight Banners soldiers were patrolling, carrying dry food and green onion burrito. One of them was hungry and picked it up and ate it. The other one was slow to put it in his mouth. It was considered that he was lucky. The previous one suddenly changed his expression, frowned again, and was in pain, and he was frosted again, foaming at the mouth, and fell to the ground unconscious. Finally, the investigation found that the green onion in the burrito was poisoned.

For this purpose, the "Manchu Old Document" specifically records the highest instructions given by Nurhaci on this:

"Someone poisons water and uses poison to raise pigs for sale in salt. Officers and soldiers should not slaughter the pigs on the day they buy. It takes a few days to kill them after the poison has been dissipated before they can be eaten. When using water and salt, they should check carefully and be cautious. Be cautious about the onions, melons, eggplants, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. you bought to prevent poisoning, do not fall into a trap, be careful."

Livestock cannot be eaten, vegetables cannot be eaten, fruits cannot be eaten, snacks cannot be eaten, it seems that only water is left. Just drinking water, is this okay?

There is an old saying that a person is not lucky enough to be so bad? "Drinking a sip of cold water will make you thorny between your teeth." At that time, this sentence could have another saying, "Drinking a sip of water will make you foam and twitch all over your body."

(Another, no one has made up the above examples, all of them are from "Manchu Old Documents", because this incident almost happened to Nurhaci himself.)

Once, Nurhaci went to Haizhou for inspection. He sat down to have dinner at noon and caught two Han people sneaking and sneaking around the well. When he went forward to investigate, he found that the two men had two small paper bags hidden on their bodies, which contained highly poisonous content.

Therefore, when entering the Han area this time, Huang Taiji specially ordered that the coalition forces should not drink stagnant water, and should drink live water, and live water should not be poisoned.

Standing thirty miles upstream, this is the farthest patrol distance for the Eight Banners to collect at night. Zhao Xing personally directed and poured buckets of croton water into Sancha River evenly and slowly.

Sancha River quietly led the croton water downstream and entered the water intake area between both sides.

At this time, the smoke from the Eight Banners camp was raising smoke, and the chef began to pick up water by the river to cook, and the war horse was driven out by the groom, and began to wash and drink water by the Sancha River.

More than 8,000 good horses on the grassland are very happy today because these waters are really a bit sweet. I used to drink enough, but today I drink enough. Even so, those who drink enough horses are unwilling to leave and want to drink more. If the owner of the horse was not afraid that the horse would drink too much and affect the upcoming battle, he might not have said that the horse would simply put his head in the river and not come out.

Zhao Xing sat in the big tent, and kept asking the Jinyiwei who rushed back to investigate: "How is it? Is it effective?"

The first Jinyiwei who came back reported: "The enemy camp just started eating and it has not worked yet."

After a while, another Jinyiwei came back to report that the enemy camp had finished its meal and was in full swing, ready to go to battle at any time.

But half an hour later, a Jinyiwei, whose mouth and nose were wrapped tightly in a cloth towel, came in and reported with dry retardation: "It smells smelly, it's too smelly. The enemy camp now looks like a big cesspool."

Another half an hour later, a dizzy Jinyiwei fainted on the ground before he could report. He was so angry that he was fainted.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Xing jumped eight feet high and shouted excitedly: "Gather the generals and point the troops, we will attack us for 4,000 to 8,000, and wipe out the enemy."

All the soldiers were ready to go, and after hearing the order, they stepped onto the war horses, killed the shallow Sancha River, and rushed into the stinking Eight Banners Camp.

The Eight Banners camp was already stinking and turned into a large toilet. When Zhao Xing rushed in, he saw all the war horses trembling with their legs lying on the ground and urinating. All the Eight Banners soldiers were squatting on the ground. Facing the Ming army rushing over, they could only glar and look at them but were powerless. The Ming army covered their mouths and noses and pointed them at them with swords and guns: "Raise your hand to surrender."

A Jiannu squatting on the ground replied toughly: "If you want to kill or cut, you can do whatever you want. If you want to surrender naked, don't even think about it." Then another string of shit, pee and fart.

He directly grabbed a Han costume squatting on the ground and was slapped in the general translation: "Which is Du Duyuetuo's big tent."

The general translator pointed weakly, "Don't bother. Du Du and Yuetuo discussed military affairs, and had no time to eat and drink. When he saw that things were not good, the two of them ran away with their few subordinates."

Zhao Xing was disappointed, very disappointed, but just when he was disappointed, the general translator begged: "Sir, as long as you give me the antidote, I will give you a bigger surprise."

Zhao Xing wondered: "There is a bigger surprise? Say."

"Sir, give me the antidote, otherwise I will kill me."

There are really antidotes, but not many of them are for war horses. As for these Jurchens, Zhao Xing was not going to do any trick of offering prisoners in the capital. He didn't eat enough dry food himself now.

After giving this translation a bowl of antidote, the translation pointed to a low and worn tent: "Sir, it's Melgendaiqing's tent, where is he?"

Zhao Xing didn't understand what wearing the Qinghai-Tibet line, so he looked at this translation curiously.
