It is actually very important for soldiers to study.
In ancient times, there was no separation between civil and military affairs. The so-called "general and prime minister" basically meant that senior officers were all scholars. They were nobles first and then bureaucrats. The upper echelons of these ruling classes were basically condensed into a whole.
There is no specific distinction between civil and military conflicts. More conflicts are personal or family rather than between civil and military conflicts.
In every troubled time, there will naturally be Cao Mang, and most of these Cao Mang are those who are illiterate. Just like the Three Kingdoms, or the even more chaotic Wuhu era, a large number of illiterate Cao Mang became the mainstay of the army.
The main force has led to an increasing proportion of middle- and high-level generals who are illiterate among the warriors in troubled times.
On the other side, the old interest classes have been impacted, and they will naturally try their best to attack, slander, ridicule, and even slander the emerging meritorious class, that is, the meritorious nobles of these warriors who have risen recklessly, which has led to the increasing number of gentry children.
He despises warriors and even despises martial arts.
The emphasis on literature over military affairs in the Song Dynasty certainly stemmed from the domineering, cruel, and even complete inhumanity of warriors during the Five Dynasties. However, on the other hand, many warriors and even senior generals were illiterate or semi-literate and were unable to communicate effectively.
They were completely incompatible, which ultimately led to the gentry's children overestimating military power and warriors. This was also an important reason that cannot be ignored.
Starting from the Tang Dynasty, there has been basically a trend of civil and military divisions. By the Song Dynasty, it was basically in a state of complete division. Generals could no longer be elected, military men became aliens in the ruling class, and the two classes of civil and military classes were different from each other.
They hate each other on the road, and they get further and further apart.
When warriors are politically suppressed and culturally discriminated against, they will naturally have complaints and even hatred in their hearts. Once a national calamity occurs, these original suppressions and discrimination will become the motivation of some warriors who are greedy for money and afraid of death.
From the beginning, many Chinese literati like to make generalizations, and one thing is to veto everything. Therefore, they despise warriors more and more and no longer trust warriors. Therefore, civil servants and even eunuchs supervise the army and even generals. The laymen lead the experts.
Various garbage incidents also occur in endlessly.
There are various aspects of life. Some people like reading, some don’t like reading, some read history books as novels, and some read novels as history books. This is all normal.
Therefore, we cannot expect everyone to be capable in literature and martial arts, but no one should discriminate against anyone.
This is done very well in the Hussars.
Those who can read will have more opportunities, but those who can read will not discriminate against those who cannot read, because in the military, sometimes fists are the last word.
It has to be said that the military academy of the Hussars General has broadened the horizons of warriors and made their future paths broader.
Just like this emergency incident, if the soldiers are not in disorder, the people will not be in chaos. Seeing that the soldiers are still on duty calmly, and there is no panic buying, hoarding and reselling in the market, those people who feel that the mountain gods and ghosts are ghosts will also
Gradually it became a topic of conversation after dinner, and it did not affect much of Chengdu's daily life.
Powerful soldiers will always be the anchor of stability for ordinary people.
No matter how big the waves are, as long as the sea-fixing needle doesn't fall, it will only toss for a while and then pass.
Naturally, Xu Shu could not just be satisfied that Chengdu Sakon was not disturbed by this news. He also had to find a way to completely solve this problem, or at least try to solve part of it.
Everyone will encounter various problems. The key is what to do when encountering a problem. Some people like to make excuses, and then spread all the responsibilities to ghosts and gods, saying that what the mountain gods are like, Lin Gui What's going on? We can't do anything. We can't do anything. Look for others, not me...
Not so with Xu Shu.
As the supreme civil affairs leader of Sichuan and Sichuan, he cannot say the words "no way" easily. He has to find a way even if there is no way. Otherwise, what kind of leader can he be?
Therefore, after Xu Shu stabilized the situation around Chengdu, he immediately summoned relevant personnel to conduct research and discussions on the problems that occurred at the construction site.
Ma Heng of the Wen Department dealt with the spies trying to cause trouble, while the Sichuan Medical Center, modeled after the Chang'an Hundred Medical Centers, diagnosed, treated and researched these patients.
Not to mention, there is indeed some research on malaria in Sichuan and Sichuan...
In fact, as early as the pre-Qin period, the ancients had discovered malaria and began to look for ways to deal with it.
During the Zhou Dynasty, among the official positions in the state court, there were specialized people who studied malaria.
This is not surprising, after all, the vegetation in ancient times was obviously much more than that of today's giants. The climate is warm and the vegetation is abundant, which means there are more mosquitoes, and there are more diseases caused by mosquito bites.
In the earliest Chinese medical classic "Huangdi Neijing·Suwen", more than 10 diseases classified as "malaria" include wind malaria, warm malaria, cold malaria, etc...
This book was definitely not written by Huangdi, but it also proves that around the Qin and Han dynasties, or even earlier, there were already people in China who were specializing in studying diseases in this area.
Malaria in China was first prevalent in the south. People in the pre-Qin Dynasty had generally understood the incidence of malaria. "Book of Zhou·Tianguan" records: "There is malaria in autumn." And this is for "Malaria." The instructions issued by the "disease doctors" also require the "disease doctors" to grasp the epidemic patterns of seasonal diseases and carry out targeted prevention and treatment.
"Disease doctor" is one of the four specialties of doctors in the Zhou Dynasty, namely food, disease, ulcer, and animal medicine. It is relatively similar to the internal medicine doctors of later generations, but not all of them. There are eight sergeants, whose duty is to "doctor medicine". Treat the diseases of all peoples, and divide and cure all people who have diseases."
Although later, with climate changes, human development, etc., the Central Plains of China gradually changed from dense forests to cultivated fields, and mosquitoes that like warmth and humidity gradually moved southward, but in the land of Sichuan and Sichuan, and South Central Jiaozhi, there are still These disease-causing mosquitoes are present in large numbers.
The black miasma in the mouth of many people in Nanzhong is actually this kind of large-scale mosquitoes that float like black smoke, killing humans and animals if they touch it...
If there is such a disease, of course there are doctors who specialize in this disease.
Of course there are good doctors in Sichuan and Sichuan.
When later generations talk about famous doctors in the Han Dynasty, they are either Hua Tuo or Zhang Zhongjing, but in fact, there are inheritances of famous doctors in Sichuan, Shu and Wuzhong.
Most of the current doctors in Sichuan and Sichuan are descendants of the famous doctor Guo Yu.
Guo Yu is from Guanghan. His master is Cheng Gao, and Cheng Gao's master is a reclusive doctor called "Fu Weng". Therefore, the medical skills of this school can be said to be basically derived from "Fu Weng"
』A line of inheritance.
The characteristic of this faction is that they administer drugs harshly and administer needles ruthlessly. It is precisely this characteristic that makes this faction not very effective in treating high-ranking officials.
It's very simple, because for ordinary people, they will basically not seek medical treatment unless it is a last resort. Once they seek medical treatment, it will be a very serious condition, so the power of the "Fu Weng" series is revealed.
Taking medicine to overcome a calamity and taking a shot to save life are all basic operations.
If Hua Tuo is the sharp edge of Jinchuangke, then the "Fu Weng" series of doctors in Sichuan are the pioneers of the emergency department.
Although these "Fu Weng" doctors are sometimes cruel and rescue people, they often have some sequelae. But for ordinary people, these sequelae are not a big deal. After all, as long as they can save
It is already a huge thank you to save your life. It is absolutely impossible for people in later generations to save their lives and then use a knife to kill the doctor...
But the gentry children were different. They really went to kill doctors.
For nobles and nobles, these sequelae are uncomfortable. When they feel uncomfortable, they will feel that the doctor is not good enough. If they feel that he is not good enough, they will inevitably want to see this doctor. Even if they are cured but the sequelae are uncomfortable, they still need to have surgery.
This doctor costs more than ten dollars...
As a result, doctors of this school gradually left the court and went to the countryside.
After all, even Iron Man can't withstand the patient's kitchen knife.
One peck and one drink, because they are far away from the court and closer to the mountains and forests. Among Sichuan and Shu, doctors from this sect have more experience in dealing with this type of disease than other areas...
In the Chengdu lobby, most of the doctors sitting around were middle-aged, and a few were old.
The food of Chinese medicine is experience.
Only through hard work and years of accumulation can a good Chinese medicine doctor be made.
"The onset of malaria begins with the vellus hairs, followed by yawning, shivering, bulging jaws, and pain in the waist and spine. When the cold goes away, there is heat inside and outside, and a headache like a rag..." A doctor frowned and said, "Today,
There are many patients with this condition, and they can be classified as malaria..."
"However, according to Lao Chan's diagnosis, there are other symptoms..." Another doctor also said, "The occurrence of malaria is caused by the imbalance of yin and yang. As the saying goes, the body of qi is deep, and the inside is thinner than yin and yang."
It occurs alone, and Yin evil is internalized. Yin and Yang cannot compete with each other, so it is caused by the intervening days... But now when I look at the sky, spring and summer are going smoothly, and Yin and Yang are not chaotic. How can Yang Qi occur alone and Yin evil is internalized?
Huh? It’s really strange.』
"If there is no spring and summer, it may not be a plague..." Another doctor said, "The disease now, in my opinion, should be miasma. This place in the south has been uninhabited for a long time, and the five poisons are rampant.
In the mountains and forests, peach and apricots rot in the valleys, so there is a miasma. People and animals are infected by it, and all of them fall down..."
"If it's miasma, it might be difficult to deal with..."
"In the past, during General Fubo's southern expedition, the military officers suffered from miasma and 14 to 15 people died, which shows how poisonous the miasma is..."
Then gradually more doctors joined in, and finally came to the conclusion that what Xu Huang encountered at the construction site was not an ordinary plague, but a miasma.
Ancient people often attributed many unexplained diseases to miasma. Miasma is a comprehensive name for a variety of difficult and acute diseases in ancient times, which may include malaria, dysentery, beriberi, sand lice, poisoning, laryngitis, hemorrhagic fever,
Jaundice etc...
So generally speaking, what these doctors said is not wrong. It's just that it's not very accurate.
Xu Shu didn't understand this either, so he asked: "Since there is miasma now, how should we cure it?"
All the doctors looked at each other, and then the oldest doctor said: "Miasma often occurs in March and April, when the heat and poison rise. If it comes in autumn and winter, it will naturally be fine."
This answer is not wrong.
Unfortunately, waiting for the weather to pass and the temperature to drop was not the answer Xu Shu wanted.
The previous discussion between Xu Shu and Xu Huang was that if this disease could not be controlled or cured, then they could only wait for the colder autumn and winter before starting construction. But the problem is that this basically means that there are three problems.
Four months were wasted.
These laborers, whether they are working or not, need to eat. At most, they need to eat less. It is impossible to say that there is no need to consume food and grass at all when they are not working...
There are also some craftsmen who are recruited, so the longer the recruitment time, the greater the impact on the local area, and in three or four months, it cannot be said that these craftsmen are allowed to go back. Everyone knows the path of Sichuan and Shu.
Once, maybe people haven’t reached home yet and have to go back again.
Historically, Zhuge Liang also encountered miasma during his southern expedition and was delayed for two months. The historical records say "crossing Lu in May". It seems to mean that in May, the Lu River can be crossed, and there is no miasma.
In fact, it's mostly a misunderstanding.
At that time, Nanzhong was in crisis, and Zhuge Liang's army gathered together, but they also had to eat, drink, and eat, and did nothing. After dozens of days, if they did not take action, not only would the situation in Nanzhong worsen, but how much food and grass would be consumed? Really, the wait
In autumn, I am afraid that even if Zhuge Liang sends troops, there will be no good results.
Besides, are there no mosquitoes in May? There are still some. And general poisoning, whether it is mineral poison or biological poison, does not have the nature of airborne infection as long as there is no contact, so most of what Zhuge Liang encountered at that time
It's malaria.
Marching in May was actually a sign that Zhuge was forced by the situation to risk his life.
Now, for Xu Shu, although it is not necessary to risk his life, it is still impossible to wait for several months without doing anything, so he said to these doctors: "If there is a disease, it should be treated. If it cannot be cured, treat it."
What’s the use?”
This is a bit harsh to say, but it is not entirely unreasonable. If a doctor only charges money but cannot treat patients, then what is the point of his existence? Aren’t they just like liars?
As soon as Xu Shu said this, all the doctors looked at each other, and then discussed again, and the older doctor handed over his hands and said: "But please give me your orders..."
Xu Shu said: "The first is to treat. This is an acute epidemic. Since the onset of the disease, it has been hot and cold, with severe pain, and the person will die within a few seconds. How to treat it and save his life is the first step. The second is medicine. The mountains and forests are complex, and the valleys are deep.
"Whether it is an epidemic or a miasma, how can we stop the movement of the army? We should have medicine ready to prevent this disease."
Xu Shu looked at the doctors, and then said that if they did well, they would be counted according to military merit.
All the doctors immediately became excited.
After all, everyone knows that under the hussar, military merit is quite popular, and this is not Xu Shu's deception. There is Jin Chuangke in the army. For ordinary soldiers, killing people can gain military merit, but for Jin Chuangke
For doctors in the department, it is to save people and gain military merit...
With such encouragement, these doctors gradually took out the methods hidden in their own homes.
"There is a method that was passed down by "Fu Weng" and is called the method of pricking acupuncture points with golden needles. Malaria pulse strings by itself. If the strings are several, the heat will be high. If the strings are late, the strings will be cold. If the strings are small and tight, the strings will be different.
If it is late, it can be warmed, and if the string is tight, it can cause sweating, which is also the case with acupuncture." A doctor said, "If you have low back pain and a heavy head, and the cold starts from the back, it will be cold first and then hot, and the heat will stop the sweating, and it will be difficult.
, then there will be bleeding in the prick... Also, if it is cold first, sprinkle it with water, and if it is cold for a long time, it will become hot. When the heat goes away, you will sweat, and you will be happy to see the sun and moonlight and fire, which will happen quickly, then prick the foot Yangming on the tarsus..."
That's right, acupuncture.
Perhaps in future generations, some people will find it difficult to treat malaria. Isn't it just quinine? Those who know more know about cinchona trees, and those who know more will clamor for Qinghao.
Or it might be words like Artemisia annua, or it might be records indicating that Artemisia annua was used to treat malaria in ancient times.
However, in fact, whether it is quinine or artemisinin, it took a long time of testing and the hard work of many people, and then it was misappropriated...
The cinchona tree, a kind-hearted Indian woman dedicated it to the colonists, so that the colonists no longer feared malaria, and then returned smallpox and massacre to the Indians.
The prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine are often based on experience. Just like the golden needle method proposed by the old doctor today, it is also based on the experience of malaria patients in Sichuan and Sichuan for many years, and then summarized bit by bit, and this
This kind of acupuncture method, this kind of research on meridians, even in later generations, was not fully understood.
Of course, some of these prescriptions or treatment plans may not sound so reliable.
For example, some doctors claimed that "Renzhong Huang" can be used to treat mountain miasma malaria, calling it "Huanglong Decoction".
Are people yellow...?
Ahem, forget it.
Some people say that they should capture a mountain rat in the place where the mountain miasma breaks out, then beat it to death, squeeze out the blood and take it, which will have a better effect in reducing fever. They also specifically stated that "the rat has five scalps."
Pound the whole mixture, if the juice is a little bit watery and kneaded, it is not difficult to take. It is often tested immediately."
This is called "Blood Rat Drink"...
If you think "Huanglong Decoction" and "Blood Rat Drink" still make some sense, then using "Skull" as a medicinal material to treat miasma malaria is somewhat unacceptable...
Of course, it doesn't mean that these doctors were careless about people's lives when they prescribed these medicines, but that they, or their masters, once saved people with this prescription, and then they retained this prescription.
It can be said that in Chinese medicine, no matter how weird the prescriptions are, most of them have saved lives. It just depends on whether a certain substance in the prescription eliminates the germs, or stimulates and mobilizes the body's defense function, or balances the body.
The electrolytes inside the human body, etc., eventually lead to the elimination of the disease...
No one knows.
Xu Shu didn't know either.
Xu Shu was not sure for a while what the prescription was, or whether acupuncture would be more effective, so he decided to do one thing, which was to ask these doctors to divide the cases into different areas and treat those who had malaria according to their own plans.
patients to determine which method and prescription are most practical.
After all, it's a mule or a horse, and you'll know it after just taking a quick look.
Anyway, the first thing is to save people. Regardless of how much you brag about in daily life, the actual effect depends on the specific effect...
