Chapter 137 A major case at the end of the year (Part 1)
Once the Song Army crossed the Red River, it seemed that they had passed the most dangerous geographical trap, but the Song Army also had to face the biggest stress reaction of a country that had been independent for more than two hundred years. This reaction must be the response of the whole country.
Forced to fight to the death with the Song army.
Han Shizhong's books over the years are not in vain. Not only Jiaozhi and Champa Kingdom, but also the countries of Indochina in the southwest, also broke away from slave society earlier because of their proximity to China. At this time, they were all feudal kingdoms, not uncivilized.
barbarians. Anyone who thinks their force is weak and despises them will most likely suffer a loss.
However, they are very different from China, that is, there are many factions, each with its own feudal lords. It seems that one country after another, and even these three armies, were forced to contribute by the feudal lords due to the fierce fighting with Dali in recent years.
.In fact, it was not the central court that forced them, but the critical situation in Dali after the Song Dynasty was about to destroy the country. They unified the preparation and training of the standing army and handed it over to the Taiwei Mansion for arrangements, and gave military priority everywhere.
If this wasn't the eight-year-old layout of the government, we really wouldn't have gotten so much information. But that's all. After the launch, more than 90% of the merchants in Jiaozhi were picked up by Li Bao under the official flag.
, as people of the Song Dynasty, they had done their best for the country. Even Han Shizhong could not care about their life or death. Of course, he could not do anything about their losses in Jiaozhi!
On the other hand, in the main hall of the Jiaozhi Palace, Du Yingwu once again emphasized, "Zhao Song's ambition and viciousness are like the miasma in the mountains and forests and the man-eating crocodiles in the river. No matter how many envoys we send, they will not retreat at all."
"
Su Xiancheng also said: "What the Taiwei said makes sense. It's a pity that Shao Long was delayed in getting the news. Zhang Jun was finally recalled by Zhao Song's official family, but this is not a bad thing!"
A general named Li who barely managed to save his life on the front line was puzzled and even a little angry, "What does the Prime Minister mean? This Han Shizhong is a god general in the world and has many generals under his command. It is Zhang Jun who gave us such a blind command."
If there is a glimmer of life, if he leaves, our warriors will die even more!"
"General, there is no need to be angry. What I mean is that at this time, it is useless for us to think too much. Instead, we can gather our strength to fight to the death. After all, who wants to destroy the country and the family and be sold as a slave to Zhao Song like the Jurchens!
"Since there is no chance of luck, let's fight hard.
The frontline general, who is not a ruthless person, agrees with this method. However, someone raised a question, "If the Zhao and Song armies can destroy our war elephants, it barely makes sense, but why is the miasma so little damage to them?"
If we don't understand this, our soldiers will not be able to use many methods."
Everyone smiled bitterly, this is really a good question.
If Zhao Guanjia knew about their conversation, they would not mind telling them that war elephant troops are a characteristic of Southeast Asia. It is recorded in ancient books that in the era of Mongolian cavalry, Ming army, and Qing army, the methods to deal with war elephants were more concise. One was to shoot large elephants.
The second is to use fire to scare the elephant, which is very effective.
Not to mention that the Song army came too quickly. Most of their war elephants were temporarily captured wild elephants and lacked training. The divine arm bows could fly over and scratch the skin to scare them away.
Yue Yun's tribe crossed the Red River and met the first group of elephant soldiers, and beat them to death.
As for the second question, the Zhao Guan family firstly wants to thank Ms. Tu Youyou, and secondly, they want to thank themselves for re-establishing the Medical Bureau for the two prime ministers.
It is said that after Zhao Guan's family confirmed that the army was going to march south, they knew that this geographical problem could be solved through exploration. There was really no way to deal with the flatulence problem. He could not get artemisinin and penicillin, so he had to place his hope in the methods that had not been lost in this era.
I occasionally go to the medical bureau to look through ancient medical prescriptions, and I keep mumbling these words, and even "Amoxicillin" comes up.
When he wanted to talk about other things, the people at the Medical Bureau were really confused, but when it came to artemisinin, Pan Guozhang said: "The official family needs artemisinin. It's a good thing. There is a small amount here."
It’s the best from Youyang in Yuzhou, but it’s a pity that I didn’t collect it.”
At this moment, the Jade Emperor, the Supreme Lord, the Tathagata Buddha, and more importantly, Manjushri Bodhisattva seemed to have opened a spiritual orifice to Zhao Jiu. He grabbed his father-in-law, without caring about any politeness, and asked loudly: "What is Artemisia annua? How can it be cured?"
What kind of disease can it prevent miasma?"
Pan Guozhang was almost suffocated to death by the emperor's son-in-law. He finally waited for Zhao Guan's family to calm down, and then his apprentice explained to him: "So that the officials will know that Artemisia annua is a herbaceous plant (this word was popularized by Zhao Jiu).
It can be used on sandy ground along moist river banks, in mountains and forests, on roadsides, etc. It has the effects of clearing away heat, cooling blood, reducing evaporation, relieving summer heat, dispelling wind, and relieving itching. It can be used as an antipyretic for yin deficiency and hot flashes, and can also relieve night sweats, heatstroke, etc. As for
I don’t know if it can prevent miasma!”
Pan Guozhang quickly added: ""Shen Nong's Materia Medica" contains records that this substance tastes bitter and cold. It is mainly used to treat scabies, itching scabs, malignant sores, kill lice, retain heat between the joints, and improve eyesight. It should still be effective.
Bar."
Zhao Guanjia's eyes suddenly lit up.
As the highest holder of national rights, how much Artemisia annua does he want? Mobilize the people in the southwest region to harvest it! It can be deducted from taxes and corvees. In this way, a large section was quickly collected, as well as those prescribed by famous doctors such as Pan Guozhang.
There are many similar secret recipes for medicines. Zhao Guan's family compulsorily requires the army to wear veils washed with artemisia annua juice when exploring the terrain. Not to mention, the effect is good. The mortality rate is greatly reduced, and the cure rate after illness is greatly improved.
Zhao Guan's family was overjoyed after receiving the feedback, and the result was that Pan Zhaorong became Concubine Pan Xian again because of the upgrade of her natal family for the first time in her life.
Of course, Pan Guozhang, his apprentices, and the medical officers who contributed their efforts were all rewarded, either by promotion or by being a disciple.
At the end of December, everyone in Tokyo was joyful and ready to celebrate the New Year, but the imperial court became increasingly busy. Zhao Jiu irresponsibly left the general affairs to the Secret Pavilion, preparing to wait for news about the army and spend the winter by himself.
But I didn't expect that during the Chinese New Year, someone would actually file a petition, and it was a petition that even Yang Yizhong didn't dare to stop.
Because the person who filed the complaint was Zhang Lian, the stewardess of the Tokyo Huiji Bureau, and Li Caiwei, Li Yanxian’s daughter, who was her assistant, sued her immediate boss, Aunt Zhao, Zhao Runxuan. The crime was very terrible. They abducted a girl with low intelligence from the Huiji Bureau to be used as a pawn by a middle-class family.
Tools for childbirth, or to sell healthy boys to others to continue their incense.
Needless to say, this is the bottom line of officialdom. No wonder the prince of Jingsai County did not dare to stop it.
Zhao Guanjia happened to be holding the revised text of the law on the abolition of slavery sent by the Ministry of Punishment. He felt extremely ironic for a moment, and his eyes became dangerous unconsciously. The third prince Zhao Dan, who happened to make a mistake and was brought in for education, all turned towards Feng Yi.
Damn, I don’t dare to get too close to daddy, I think he’s so scary.
"Are you sure? You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing." Zhao Guanjia said lightly, but it made people feel a lot of pressure. Li Caiwei thought that she had seen big scenes since she was a child. For a moment, she felt that the pressure doubled and she couldn't speak. It was the suffering Zhang Lian had experienced.
Duo gritted his teeth and said: "The girl from the Li family and I have stared at her several times. It's unmistakable. The most recent time we sold a good girl to an old bachelor in the village. I have an address because the Huiji Bureau is affiliated with the royal family. We only
Your Majesty doesn't believe that she can ask to see Tianyan, so let Prince Yang keep an eye on her for a few days, and you will definitely gain something."
