Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 947
Ma Fang and Liu Xian, one from the north and one from the south, have been blessed by high pragmatism in this time and space, and they have been quite healthy so far. What you need to know is that in the original history, these two veterans But they all died last year.

Now under the highly pragmatic requirements, the two veteran generals will return to the capital every quarter to see Xinzhai for a physical examination. The process is that the students brought out by Li Shizhen are responsible for individual physical examinations at the beginning, and finally Then Li Shizhen personally went out to conduct a comprehensive review-this process is basically the same as the physical examination of Zhang Siwei and other important officials of the practical school in Beijing.

When Gao Yushi came to visit the two of them, the "Xiacha" of the two veteran generals had just ended, and their physical performance was basically good.

However, according to Li Shizhen, Ma Fang suffered from gout to a certain degree, while Liu Xian suffered from severe rheumatism, and although their physical condition can be said to be excellent, after all, they are old, and these chronic diseases need to be recuperated gradually.

These two diseases appeared in them. Gao Yushi can understand it very well. Ma Fang was taken to the grassland by the Mongols in his early years, but he quickly emerged. He has a greasy diet all year round and likes to eat beef and sheep offal. The chance of gout is certain. is on the high side.

However, his gout is not the same as Zhu Yijun's "foot disease" which is also caused by gout. Half of the source of Zhu Yijun's foot disease is diet, and the other half is homelessness, and Ma Fang is obviously not home.

So when Li Shizhen personally prescribed the recipe for Ma Fang according to Gao Yushi's request, Ma Fang's gout has been greatly improved. The only trouble is that when he saw Gao Yushi, he immediately stepped forward and took his hand to pour bitter water. He said, "That ghost recipe is even more ruthless than a tartar's knife, the old man's mouth is going to fade out like a bird!"

Apart from laughing, Gao Wushi could only comfort him with warm words.

As for Liu Xian's rheumatism, this is very complicated. Li Shizhen's statement is highly pragmatic and I didn't fully understand it, but the general meaning is that there are many possibilities to cause rheumatism, and Liu Xian's rheumatism is affected by symptoms just from the appearance. The impact of several conditions is quite troublesome to treat. At present, the treatment is mainly carried out to control the probability of the onset and the degree of pain during the onset.

Liu Xian himself was quite open about this, saying that it was just a little pain, which was not worth mentioning.But according to people close to him, General Liu’s joints were swollen when he got sick. Sometimes his knees or shoulders were red, and blood stasis could be seen under the skin. Anyone who has rheumatism knows how painful it is.

It's just that the old general was stubborn, obviously in pain and sweating, but still expressionless, when asked him, he just said "I can't die".

Fortunately, there was a turning point this time. When Gao Wushi talked with Li Shizhen this time, he mentioned to Li Shizhen all kinds of knowledge related to medical skills and Gu skills when he was in Guangxi.

Li Shizhen said that the Ali girl was very insightful. Gu art itself was indeed born to cure diseases at the beginning. It can be regarded as the origin of medical skills of the Miao, Yao and other tribes. However, after blending with witch culture, some of the Gu art gradually disappeared. went in the opposite direction.

But Li Shizhen also told Gao Wushi that even though Gu art has many harmful uses now, it is like a person who knows medicine must also know how to use poison. Just because it can harm people, it can only be used for harming people. , Just as a knife can kill or save, the key lies in who is using it and how to use it.

What helped Liu Xian in the conversation between Gao Wushi and Li Shizhen was that Li Shizhen mentioned that the Southwest has the most damp miasma, and most of the people who have been proficient in Miao Gu and Yao Gu have special effects on rheumatism. technique.

Li Shizhen said that since that Ali girl is the descendant of the grass ghost grandma, and she is more inclined to study saving people rather than harming people, she will most likely master the special method of treating rheumatism.

Gao Shishi was very pleased with this news, and wrote a letter to Annan to send to Huang Zhiting—Gao Shishi himself could not get in touch with the descendant of the elusive ghost grass grandma, but he knew that if Huang Zhiting wanted to, he would definitely be able to find it.

Coincidentally, this gave Huang Zhiting another reason to go north.

After Gao Shishi told Liu Xian about this matter, Liu Xian's train of thought seemed to "go astray", he frowned and thought about it: "The old man heard about the layout of the boss in Annan and the arrangements for him in Yunnan. Some of the preparations made seem to be..."

He paused, looked at Gao Wushi, and asked, "My boss judges that there will be a war in Yunnan? If that's the case, the old man recommends that she can contribute to this war with a talent like A Li."

Gao Yushi can understand Liu Xian's intentions. The war happened in places related to Yunnan and Annan, so it can almost only be Burma. Fighting in Burma is almost like a battle in the tropical jungle. Wet miasma is inevitable. If there is Top professionals like Miss Ali control the medical treatment of the army, and even if there is any epidemic, it can be controlled to the greatest extent.

But now this matter has changed, and the battle in Burma may have to be delayed.

This accident was not due to other reasons, it was because of his high pragmatism.

The Battle of Monan greatly advanced the progress of Ming's national policy towards Mongolia, and now it has caused two major problems: one is that Ming's treasury suddenly became very short of money; Increase investment in northern Xinjiang, especially Jiliao.

After all, in the thinking of the whole country of Ming Dynasty, Mongolia has always been the number one enemy, and there is no one.

The rest, such as Jurchen, may only be regarded as a big hidden danger by Gao Yushi, and the rest are probably only regarded as ringworm and scabies. As for the "Southern barbarian tribe" such as Myanmar, in the eyes of wise people, even if there is a fight, It is probably at the level of a chieftain rebellion, and its importance is not even comparable to that of Annan, so it is hard to say how much he will care about it.

Therefore, after the Battle of Monan, it is impossible for the Ming court to agree to launch a "preventive war" against Burma now. Even in the face of Burma's active provocation, most of them will choose to give in temporarily, or let Yunnan handle it on its own— The so-called "camera defense" is also.

This is where the Ming Dynasty and the Taqing Dynasty are completely different: in the Taqing Dynasty, it is a serious crime to start a frontier quarrel without permission, and your head may be killed, but in the Ming Dynasty, almost all the border officials have the right to "fight with cameras". Especially civil servants and border officials.

For example, Gao Yushi, Liaodong Yuanma Siqing, if there is a problem in southern Liaoning, he can decide on the defense of southern Liaoning without having to ask for instructions and report first. .

What is even more exaggerated is that if he feels that the security of southern Liaoning is threatened by other neighboring countries or tribes, he can even take the initiative to take precautions before it happens, but this method will take a little bit of risk-if he loses, That could still be punishable.

But even so, before the Chongzhen Dynasty, none of the civil officials who did similar things seemed to be held accountable to death.Including Zeng Mian in the past, who seemed to have died because he wanted to regain Hetao. In fact, the deep-seated root of that incident lay in the fighting skills between Yan Song and Xia Yan. Zeng Mian was just used to sacrifice the flag.

Of course, in Gao Yushi's view, the battle in southern Xinjiang will definitely be "late but late", and Liu Xian's reminder is still very meaningful.

After thanking Liu Xian, he smiled at the two old generals: "Wan Sheng is going to Liaonan on this trip, maybe he will face war after a while, and then he may ask the two old generals to help you. I hope you two Master, take care of yourself..."

Hearing this, Liu Xian just raised his eyebrows, and Ma Fang was overjoyed: "There is still a war in Liaodong. Tartar practice! The master must send someone to find the old man in time!"

Gao Wushi laughed loudly and said, "Definitely, definitely."
