Wentang

Chapter 456
In Lingnan, Hezhou, a certain mountain road, a small team of more than ten people walked with difficulty on the forest path.

"Follow up, don't fall behind, we will watch if you fall behind, and we won't look back for you." Feng Yi warned the companions loudly.

Everyone lowered their heads and looked at their feet carefully, but no one paid any attention to his words.

"We will reach Tongli after walking five miles forward, everyone, work harder." Feng Yi encouraged him again.

Finally someone couldn't help it anymore, and said, "You are really noisy, can you shut up."

Feng Yi glared, and said angrily: "Well, you are so proud, believe it or not, I'll beat you up."

Not to be outdone, Gao Yang said: "It's not certain who will play. Just don't cry to the dean when the time comes."

"Haha...that's impossible. The dean is in the capital, where can he find it." At this time, someone in the crowd interjected.

The humorous words caused everyone to burst into laughter, and the gloomy atmosphere suddenly became lively. People who were a little tired and unable to walk felt a surge of strength.

Gao Yang and Feng Yi also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally activated the atmosphere.

Out of selfishness, Yue Shan naturally would not send his disciples to the most dangerous places, but let them follow Li Dewu to Hezhou.It has been run by Ning Chun for many years, and the danger is relatively small.

Later, when the medical team for going to the countryside was formed, the two happened to be in a group. In the same group, there were also two doctors from the medical team, ten militiamen from the local yamen, and a guide.

What they have to do is to go deep into various villages to treat local residents, mainly for parasites and malaria.By the way, I am promoting the greatness of Datang to these people, saying that everyone is from Datang.

Although the rebels from all walks of life surrendered to the imperial court in name, but they all resisted in their hearts, and naturally they would not help Datang rule the local residents.Some people even released gossip in private, saying that the Tang people came to collect their taxes.Therefore, the officials sent by the imperial court were very resisted.

The situation in Hezhou is even better. It is said that some local government orders are like waste paper when they come out of the government.

Fortunately, the court had already anticipated this situation before and did not panic.Yu Wenjie did not rush to exercise his power as governor, but sent out the medical team, let's speak with facts.

At the beginning, the local residents did not trust the medical team, but there was always someone who was willing to take the first bite of the crab. After the first parasite patient was cured, the rest of the matter would be simple.

Parasites and malaria have plagued Lingnan residents for thousands of years, and now they have finally seen the dawn of containment. The local people regard the medical team as gods.

At this time, the accompanying propagandists will take the opportunity to promote various policies of the imperial court.With the priority of curing diseases and saving lives, the local people gradually believed that the imperial court was really here to help them.

Then it was passed on from ten to ten, and soon the news that the imperial court sent a medical team to help the local people treat parasites and malaria spread throughout Lingnan.

The locals went crazy in an instant, and no longer cared about whether to boycott or not, they ran to the medical service station to seek medical treatment. Life is the most important thing.

Some villages in the countryside even sent people directly to the yamen to express their submission, as long as the yamen was willing to send a medical team to their village to treat illnesses and save lives.

Naturally, Yuwen Festival would not refuse, and broke up the entire medical team to form small medical teams, and went down to the people to treat the common people.

In more than half a year, malaria and parasites have been effectively contained, and the court has gained a lot of popular support.

Yuwen Festival has already tried to hire local residents to open up wasteland and reclaim fields in some more civilized counties, so that sugar cane and rice can be planted when the season comes next year.

It can be said that the medical team broke the barrier between the local people and Datang with the fastest speed, gathered a large number of people's hearts, and laid a solid foundation for the later governance.

Of course, not everyone wants to see this happen.

Some ambitious people do not want to lose the power in their hands and secretly make stumbling blocks. I will not talk about it. The biggest problem is the barbarians.

Some slang people have been in contact with the Central Plains people for a long time to be passively civilized, and they are more likely to accept the rule of the Tang Dynasty, so they are called familiar slang people.

Some are very closed, unwilling to contact the outside world, and even hate the people of the Central Plains, so they are called wild people.

Moreover, there are many villages of wild Liao people, and there are dots and branches all over the Lingnan land.If you don't deal with them, don't even think about developing well.

The use of force is the worst method. Most of these villages are hidden in deep mountains and old forests. The cost of exterminating them is too high, and exterminating them will also arouse the dissatisfaction of the senior officials.

After discussing with Ning Chun, Yu Wenjie and Ning Chun adopted a strategy of suppressing and appeasement.

First send a medical team to the wild village to treat them to gain their trust.Then slowly guide them out of the mountains and forests to accept the jurisdiction of the court.

If you come across villages that are obsolete and even attack the medical team, no matter how expensive they are, they must be wiped out to deter others.

In fact, the process of things is far smoother than they imagined.For more than half a year, the news of "Datang sent a medical team to treat patients and save lives" has spread throughout Lingnan, even the most remote tribes have heard of it.

It's just that the wild people's natural distrust of the Tang people made them dare not take the initiative to seek help. Now that the medical team has taken the initiative to find them, as long as the villages are not extremely hostile to Datang, they are almost happy to accept them.

And through contact, these wild Liao people found that the people of Datang were not demons and ghosts, and they were easy to get in touch with, so they put down their defenses and tried to communicate with the outside world.

Some tribes quickly chose to integrate into the new society, some are still trying, and a very small number continue to isolate themselves after treatment.

There were several attacks on the medical team that Yu Wenjie and others were worried about. Fortunately, these indigenous weapons and equipment were particularly poor and did not cause particularly large losses.

But even so, it was enough to cause the medical team to panic, and no one knew whether they would be the next unlucky one.For this reason, the governor's office adjusted the members of the medical team, and equipped each team with ten militiamen as guards.

This strategy really worked, and the number of attacks on the medical team has been reduced a lot.And with the protection of these people, the loss of personnel has been further reduced, so that everyone dares to go out to treat patients on a basic basis.

The day before yesterday, Feng Yi's medical team received an order to go to a place called Tongli, where a tribe of barbarians lived.This is the destination of Feng Yi's team.

Before departure, Feng Yi and the team members carefully planned the route, brought enough medicines and other necessities, and set off for Tongli this morning.

Fortunately, the first half of the journey, although the road is very old and narrow, but at least there is a way to go.The second half of the road is purely a small path trampled in the mountains and forests, which is very difficult to walk.

It's okay that the road is difficult. He has walked on a road that was more difficult than this before, and the fear is that the atmosphere is tense.Once the atmosphere is tense, people are particularly prone to fatigue and accidents.

That's why he sang the oboe with Gao Yang to ease the atmosphere of the team.

After walking for a while, the slut thought of finding Feng Yi and said something.Feng Yi's face brightened, and he told everyone: "There is a small stream ahead, and it's time to rest for a stick of incense there."

"Oh!" The team cheered excitedly, and everyone's speed was three points more happy.

After walking for a while, the militiaman who opened the way said in surprise: "Look, the creek is ahead." Then he ran forward first.

The others also exploded with astonishing physical strength, striding forward and running forward.

Just when the leading militiaman was about to run to the creek, a shocking change happened.

"Boom boom boom..." Several arrows flew out of the dense forest and shot on the ground in front of them, and then the surrounding trees shook for a while, and a group of Liao men with wooden spears surrounded them.
