Chapter 921: Doctor
Chapter 921 Medical
The trial planting of Champa rice in Jiaozhi and Lingnan was quite successful.
In fact, Yang Zheng is not sure whether this thing is the Champa rice discovered in the Song Dynasty hundreds of years later.
But as long as the yield is higher than current rice varieties, it is successful.
The fertility of the Red River Plain is no lie. It has been developed and managed by hard-working Chinese people for hundreds of years since the Han and Wei dynasties. It has long been a mature area and has been supporting Soochow.
With three or four harvests a year, one can imagine the horror of food production.
With the availability of food and the loose environment of Qin's inaction, the local population exploded.
In Mao Jiong's reply, in addition to thanking Yang Zheng for the reward and trust, he also introduced in detail the governance achievements of the past few years.
In the twelfth year of the founding of the county, the land was expanded upstream for 1,500 miles along the Red River.
The population increased by 270,000, of which 110,000 were local native slaves and the other 160,000 were children born in recent years.
The population increase in Guangzhou is not as large as that of Jiaozhou, which surprised Yang Zheng.
After the Sasanians defeated Yin Chun and Yang Yi, the countries in the Western Regions began to turn around. No one wanted to have their lives pinched by others.
"As long as you solve this disease, I will reward you with the title of Marquis!" Yang Zheng slapped his thigh and said.
Cam Ranh Kingdom, also known as the Cam Ranh Bay area in later generations, needless to say how perfect this place is.
The medical doctors opened their eyes wide, as if they couldn't believe it.
As the Han population increases, it will naturally increase their control over the local area.
Everyone's thoughts are on the Western Regions.
Yang Zheng also assigned more than 100 medical doctors to accompany him southward to focus on conquering malaria.
The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough grass shows the loyal ministers.
There are many mountains in Lingnan, so there are more Nanman and more mountains. They are prone to robbery and rebellion, which seriously restricts the development of Guangzhou.
The Qin Dynasty still has several staunch losers in the Western Regions, such as Khotan, Loulan, Shule, etc. There is Yang Yi's Xia Kingdom in the north, Gaochang and Dunhuang support in the east. There are also a large number of Xuanyi envoys and Jin Yiwei in each country.
The Western Region is still a giant.
Guangzhou Tao Huang is also on the list. As grain production increased threefold, Guangzhou's population also experienced explosive growth, adding 170,000 people.
The Fergana Basin to the west of Congling is just the upper reaches of the river. It is located in a commanding position and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It can be said to be a strategically important area.
The establishment of Jinlan Kingdom is going smoothly.
However, keeping a low profile is a low-key job. After graduating from the Qingying Camp, having both civil and military skills is a basic requirement. What Yang Zheng values is his character.
Yang Yu is considered the most honest among his sons, and he is low-key.
Half of the people are not afraid of losing the Western Region, but are afraid that Yang Zheng will continue to make bets and waste the power of Qin...
Kangju and Dawan, who had originally agreed to surrender to the Qin Dynasty, completely turned to Sassanid. They made detailed reports and made an offensive and defensive alliance to fight against the cruel and evil Qin Dynasty...
Of course, the Sasanians were also frightened by the powerful combat power of the Qin army. The 50,000-strong army was overturned by 17,000 soldiers, resulting in heavy casualties and heavy casualties. It also made them re-examine the powerful empire that had emerged from the Qin Dynasty.
The medical sage Zhang Zhongjing’s "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" also contains many treatment prescriptions.
Judging from the sand table, the Seven Rivers Basin of the Xia Kingdom is quite far from the middle of the river, and the Dawan Kingdom is right in the middle.
"There is no need to worry too much about matters in the Western Regions. Du Yuankai, the world's most talented generals, Ma Xun, and Tian Zhang, Xionghu General, will definitely defeat the enemies!" Yang Zheng said confidently.
"I want to establish the Jinlan Kingdom in southern Xinjiang, what does Boyu think?" Yang Zheng had already had this idea.
"What Boyu said is true!" Jinlan plus Jiaozhi would be enough to form a country of their own. The Jinlan Kingdom would lose its spirit of pioneering and enterprising and lie flat on the fertile Red River Plain.
But when you think about it deeper, it makes sense.
When the Qiang people were in rebellion, some people in the court of the Eastern Han Dynasty even suggested that Liangzhou should be abandoned...
The Qin and Han Dynasties made great efforts to achieve military merit and were granted the title of marquis. Nowadays, one can also be granted the title of a marquis by curing a disease. I dare not even think about it.
But the blame has to be thrown to the Big Counsel Dynasty...
The Red River Plain has a dense water network, is vast and flat, and is more suitable for development.
In a word, if you want to completely conquer Hezhong, you must capture Dawan!
In fact, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also had this intention, but it was a pity that he sent his brother-in-law, General Li Guangli of the Second Division, to conquer. Unfortunately, the brother-in-law of this generation was not as good as his brother-in-law Wei Qing of the previous generation. He lost troops and generals, and his record was mediocre. It just so happened that the Huns war broke out again.
Dawan's very wise pro-Han minister Micai was crowned king, and he offered his blood-stained horse to save the country from annihilation.
"There is no harm in establishing a country in this wild land, but Jiaozhi must not be enfeoffed." Wei Guan's views basically represent the thoughts of most of the big shots in the court, and Wei Guan generally will not disobey Yang Zheng.
opinions.
No wonder they have such expressions.
At the court meeting three days later, Yang Zheng proposed the plan to establish a country, and as expected no one objected.
Taking Laojiu Yang Yu as King of Jinlan, he led a thousand Qingying children, two thousand soldiers and more than ten thousand of their families to go south.
Start looking for new allies.
A plague may wipe out an ethnic group.
But Yang Zheng feels that improved medical standards can greatly improve the health of Qin people. With good health, not only will they be more energetic for farming, but they will also be more energetic when going out to kill people...
Like his mother Jiang Ah Lian, there are many Qiang descendants of Qin in his tribe.
Yang Zheng remembered that Guangzhou really developed in history during the Mid-Tang Dynasty, not because of agriculture, but because of the rise of commerce. A large number of Arab merchants came to the Central Plains by ship to trade.
The countries in the Western Region were originally just grassroots, and Yang Zheng didn't have much hope.
It might as well be that they turn to the Sasanians now, and they can be solved together.
The Ming Dynasty wanted to regain it, but the local ethnic consciousness had risen and there were many things going on in the Ming Dynasty, so they gradually gave up this fertile land.
To manage southern Xinjiang, the first thing that must be solved is the miasma. It does not require complete cure, but as long as it can be alleviated and prevented, Daqin's control over the local area can be greatly improved.
As long as future generations are a little more ambitious, this place will become the core area of Chinese civilization radiating to the Southeast Asia.
Later, Huang Chao rebelled and moved to Lingnan, slaughtering 200,000 Hu merchants in Guangzhou City at one time...
Throughout the dynasties, more people died from diseases than from battlefields.
Maybe one day my head will get hot and I will come back with a knife...
Jiaozhi is not only a granary for China, but also a strategically important place. Losing this land will be China's eternal pain.
Let your heirs be enfeoffed and flourish everywhere, so as to avoid being ruined by others when the Qin Dynasty fails hundreds of years later.
Since the Han and Wei dynasties, the emphasis on Jiaozhi has actually been higher than that of Lingnan.
Malaria is indeed a thorny problem, but it is not a terminal disease. People have been studying it since the pre-Qin period. It has been recorded in detail in the "Huangdi Neijing". The "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" compiled into a book during the Eastern Han Dynasty clearly records that the plant Changshan has the effect of treating malaria.
A son who is too crazy and jumpy is not suitable to be sealed away.
The great plague in the late Han Dynasty still shows its fangs from time to time to this day.
From this point of view, these medical men are also warriors, but their enemy is disease, so giving them the title of marquis is more cost-effective than fighting fierce generals on the battlefield.
"Why, you don't want to be granted the title of Marquis?" Yang Zheng said jokingly.
Everyone was shocked, and immediately their eyes burst into ecstasy, "I will conquer the miasma!"
