Han Du looked at Lan Yu and was really happy from the bottom of his heart. He didn't know what to say. He just curled his lips and expressed that he couldn't understand Lan Yu's bellicose attitude.
Han Du's attempt to persuade Lan Yu failed, but Lan Yu also wanted to persuade Han Du.
Lan Yu held the wine bowl but did not drink. She turned to look at Han Du and said with a smile: "Achievements can only be obtained immediately. Dear brother, if you want to make achievements in the future, you still have to go into battle to fight."
The system of the Ming Dynasty is almost copied from that of the Tang Dynasty, and military merit is the most important. Apart from anything else, it is easiest to be granted a title of marquis based on military merit. If you are a civil servant, even if you have reached the position of minister of each ministry, you will be granted the title of marquis.
No time in sight.
Only people like you think about making achievements all day long.
Han Du glanced at Lan Yu meaningfully, but sneered at this, and said with a smile: "Forget it about making contributions, I am a weak scholar, and I don't know how to fight on land. Let alone making achievements, if I rush to the battlefield, can I?
Surviving is still a problem, so what achievements can be made?"
I can just leave the hard work of building a career to Lan Yu. I'd rather stay peacefully in the capital city and enjoy the feasting and feasting. Speaking of which, it's been so long since I've been in Ming Dynasty. How come I don't even have the chance to go to a brothel to see it?
No?
Just when Han Du's mind was wandering, Lan Yu looked at Han Du and chuckled, "You don't want to go to the battlefield? I'm afraid you won't be able to do it then."
Lan Yu is not as ignorant as Han Du. Is it easy to be the commander of Shanziying? Shanziying is in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies of the Ming Dynasty. Although it is not the top elite, it is still an army with unique characteristics.
Although Han Du was a civil servant, since the emperor made him the commander of the Shanzi Camp, Han Du would inevitably lead troops on expeditions.
When Han Du heard this, he laughed without realizing it. He felt that what Lan Yu said was not reliable at all. "Haha, one incompetent general will kill the entire army. When a person like me goes to the battlefield, it will be worse than an incompetent general."
Seriously, that’s just giving away someone’s life.”
Lan Yu was so angry that Han Du didn't feel ashamed but felt proud of her. She frowned and drank the wine in one gulp, not wanting to look at Han Du's lack of ambition.
Even Zhu Biao on the side was stunned when he saw Han Du's appearance. He had never seen Han Du like this. Even if most people think that they can't go to the battlefield, they will be tough when others mention it.
Right? Even if you don’t have the confidence, you still have to say a few words.
Lan Yu's words just now may not mean that he didn't mean to provoke Han Du.
But what about Han Du? Facing a fierce general, he just nodded and said he couldn't do it, and just backed down?
Zhu Biao didn't believe that Han Du would back down so easily, so he thought of provoking him again and said: "Civil officials can also lead troops, right? Since ancient times, there has been a saying, 'Why don't men take Wu Gou and take them to the fifteen states of Guanshan'?"
Can you explain it? It can be seen that among the literati, there are many people who are interested in writing and joining the army and leading armies on expeditions."
Han Du smiled slightly after hearing this and said: "They are them, and I am me. Anyway, I will not lead the troops. Besides, if I want to take over the fifteen states of Guanshan, why do I need to lead the troops myself?"
After saying that, Han Du took a sip of wine by himself.
Fighting a war is fighting for resources. In fact, the role of the soldiers on the battlefield is limited. What really plays a decisive role are resources. And resources will not fall out of thin air. Resources can only come from productivity. As long as the productivity of Ming Dynasty can be increased
, let alone the fifteen states of Guanshan, the Ming army could reach the horizon.
Didn't Datang's army penetrate the entire Western Region at the beginning? In the end, if Datang's productivity could not be increased and resources were insufficient, Datang would not have collapsed.
Seeing Han Du's stubbornness, Zhu Biao, who was kind-hearted by nature, shook his head and gave up the idea of persuading Han Du. Today is here for Lan Yu to practice, not for Han Du to explain things.
Thinking that Lan Yu was about to ask for Yunnan, Han Du suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but warned: "Brother, if you want to go to Yunnan, you must pay attention to one thing."
"What's the matter?" Lan Yu asked directly without raising her head.
"The misty land of Yunnan has been full of snakes, insects, rats, and ants since ancient times. My brother is the leader of the army, but you must be careful to boil the water you drink before drinking it."
"Why is this?" Every time Lan Yu opened his mouth, Zhu Biao asked curiously.
When Han Du saw Zhu Biao and Lan Yu looking directly at him, he explained to them: "Yunnan is different from ours. The water is full of insects. It's okay if the water you drink is clean. If you drink it, it's okay."
If you go to water with bugs and drink the bugs in the water rashly, you will contract dysentery, which is miasma, and it can kill people."
"Okay, we'll let someone boil the water before you drink it." Lan Yu nodded and agreed without thinking too much. Anyway, in Lan Yu's opinion, his cheap brother is a capable person. Since Han Du is like this
If he said it solemnly, it would be okay for him to obey it. Anyway, as long as he sends a special military order when the time comes, it won't be a big trouble.
"If, I mean, if someone is infected with dysentery, my brother will ask someone to pound some mugwort, pour in the spirit, stir it, filter the wine through cotton cloth, and let the person drink it.
"Han Du thought of the most effective way to treat dysentery and took the opportunity to tell Lan Yu about it.
After Lan Yu heard this, he couldn't put down the wine bowl he just picked up. He was a general on the march, but Han Du talked about the knowledge of treating diseases and saving people. How could he know what Artemisia annua was? In Han Du today
Before mentioning it, Lan Yu had never even heard of the name Artemisia annua.
"What is Artemisia annua? What does it look like?" Obviously, Zhu Biao has never heard of it. When Zhu Biao heard that Han Du said there was a way to treat dysentery, his heart suddenly became solemn.
Zhu Biao is not like Lan Yu, who doesn't care about anything except fighting. Zhu Biao can enter and leave the imperial hospital at will. Although he has never seen what a person with dysentery looks like, he has heard the imperial doctor show it off in front of him. He knows about dysentery.
But it is a terminal disease that, according to imperial doctors, is almost certain to kill you. Whether you can survive depends entirely on whether God will give you face. There is no cure.
But Han Du said that there was a good medicine that could cure this terminal disease. Zhu Biao did not suspect that Han Du was lying. He just felt that Han Du was a bit mysterious. How could he know how to treat a terminal disease that even the imperial doctors were helpless?
"Artemisia annua, haven't you seen it?" Han Du's eyes widened and he felt that it shouldn't be the case. Although there are not many of these artemisia annua, they are definitely not rare. As long as you look carefully, you will definitely be able to find weeds.
