Chapter 548: The pinnacle duel between Eastern and Western medicine

Copernicus put forward the heliocentric theory and wrote the theory of the movement of celestial bodies, looking at space with the eyes of human beings. Another person at about the same time, his name was Vesalius, who pioneered anatomy and published "The Structure of the Human Body", a book that looked at the vast space and solved the mysteries of the human body.

Coupled with the great discoveries in the field, the entire West has completely thrown off the East in the dimension of knowledge, and the accumulation of knowledge has laid the foundation for future technological progress and the Industrial Revolution. And once industrialization is achieved, the ability to organize production and mobilization will be a thousand times greater than that of the agricultural era.

At this point, the strength and weakness of the East and the West have been completely reversed, so from the perspective of Westerners, every bit of welfare enjoyed by future generations is the legacy of their ancestors through various legitimate and improper means.

On the other hand, the hardships and sins suffered by the East are all related to Xuande's strategic contraction, and they are all related to those civil servants who stopped going to the West, and every shell we suffer carries the stupidity of famous ministers like Liu Daxia!

The territory of a country can change constantly, but the precious opportunities for development are only a few few.

And now Copernicus is here, Vesalius is here, and Daming has gone to the ocean...... Collecting these three basic conditions, does it mean that the East can take that step ahead of schedule?

Wang Yue's eyes were blazing and dazzling, and even though he stood there, he could feel a strong sense of excitement.

Zhu Zaiji looked at the master curiously...... After so many years, the master has been calm, is these Xiyi really so important?

Zhu Zaiji was not so convinced...... Soon, a tall man with curly hair was brought in, and although this guy was raunchy and a little sloppy, it was also obvious that he was very young.

Compared with Michelangelo, he is a little unruly, which can be seen from the straight ears and back, and the high neck.

Vesalius was born in Brussels, his ancestors were doctors, he was also exposed to a lot of influence from an early age, and later he came into contact with anatomy, but soon he found that the popular Galen anatomy works on the market were full of loopholes, Vesalius believed that this was due to the fact that there was no human anatomy, and it was impossible to figure out the complex structure of the human body close to the dissecting of animals.

So he tried his best to get the bodies of prisoners in France, Belgium and other places, and even went to dig graves, steal the remains, and conduct research.

He quickly clears up many doubts and finds errors in the book, but his actions also get him into trouble.

In desperation, the young Vesalius fled to Italy, where he continued his studies and wrote books.

He swore to God that although he would love to get the corpse for study, he had been framed before he could actually put it into action.

The Holy See caught him and wanted to burn him with fire, and many shouted heresy, the devil, and wanted to swallow him alive.

At that moment, Vesalius was terrified, and he felt that he was going to die.

He begged frantically, he didn't want to die yet, he had the most important thing to publish...... But those ignorant people don't listen at all, they only know that this guy desecrates the corpse, is heinous, and must be killed.

And at this time, a generous rich merchant suddenly appeared, and he saved him with a hundred pieces of precious porcelain.

Vesari wept gratefully and thanked the merchant.

As a result, the other party just didn't care, because a Vesalius was exchanged for the franchise of Oriental porcelain, which was really worth it.

The big man was even willing to pay to help him build an oriental-style teahouse.

It's in Venice!

Pure oriental taste, from the inside out, all from the oriental design.

There is no doubt that this teahouse will become the most popular place in Venice.

Those ladies are absolutely willing to spend dozens, or even hundreds of gold coins, to sit here, drink a cup of oriental tea, listen to oriental music, and touch oriental paintings, furniture, chairs, beds, and ...... At that moment, their souls were sublimated.

This is not a teahouse, but an excellent holy place to upgrade the grade.

You can imagine how much income such a teahouse can bring!

The excited merchant, speaking more and more, went so far as to say that it was the Orientals who wanted Vesali, and he was put on a ship bound for the East.

On the long voyage, Vesalius had figured out that he was pitted.

It was the cunning and sinister Orientals who harmed him.

Although he knew that he had no choice, the resentment in his heart was still there.

He didn't think the East was really that beautiful...... Especially Michelangelo's almost head-to-toe kneeling posture made him very unimpressed.

At least in the field of anatomy, the East is almost a blank slate.

It is true that there are courses in medicine at West Hill College, but in Vesali's opinion, it is not advanced at all, on the contrary, he even feels that it is very backward.

In particular, the description of the human body is simply full of loopholes and is not worth mentioning.

"I don't think anyone here can read my manuscripts, or even care about my knowledge, and if possible, I'd like to go back to my homeland, or to Spain."

This was Vesalius's opening remarks, and Michelangelo was embarrassed, he was already an official of the Ming Dynasty, so he knew what Shousuke represented.

This is the classic ignorance and fearlessness.

Young people who can't see clearly, let alone princes, even the emperor doesn't pay attention to them, but when you really enter the system, you will understand the reason why officials and universities crush people to death.

"Motosuke, please don't be surprised, Vesalius is still young and ignorant, and needs to be trained ......"

Wang Yue waved his hand and interrupted Michelangelo's words.

"I want to see his manuscript."

Vesalius was surprised...... Because in his impression, officials are usually stupid, and the higher the official position, the more stupid they are. As for being young and in a high position, it must be a relative of the emperor and a favorite minister after leaving.

It is a shame to give your heart and soul to such a person.

However, he didn't really dare to look for death, so he obediently handed it over.

Wang Yue flipped through and nodded slightly.

"Not bad, the heart has four chambers and the liver has two lobes...... These descriptions are correct. ”

Vesalius was very unconvinced, he felt that Wang Yue was pretending.

"Excuse me, Your Excellency, how did you know for sure?"

Wang Yue laughed, "I'm afraid that there are more people I've killed than you've ever seen!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Vesalius immediately turned pale and showed a look of horror.

Michelangelo said proudly: "Gensuke was the most warlike general in the empire before, but he subdued the Mongols, even the greatest general in the West, is not enough to compare with Motosuke." ”

This one blows, that's a little unkind.

Wang Yue chuckled, "Mr. Vesali, you do have some real talents. When it comes to dissection, I can make it easy for you. Bodies are not very difficult to obtain, prisoners of war, prisoners, and voluntary donations, all of them. But anatomy still has to serve people, to solve pain. I'd love to know, do you have to be medically proficient, or rather, what do you think of medicine? ”

Vesalibi was much more honest than he had just been, and he said honestly: "We believe that blood, mucus, black bile, and yellow bile, these four body fluids correspond to air, water, earth, and fire, and different blood vessels, corresponding to different organs, for various diseases, can be treated by bloodletting. ”

"Bloodletting?"

Zhu Jaeji, who had been listening, finally blew up.

This Xiyi grandson is a liar, right?

I just dragged it so much, we can't understand your knowledge.

That's right, we really can't understand it!

Healed by bloodletting?

Isn't that a lie?

What's the difference with murder?

"Master, I think this guy is a demon and should be severely punished!"

Wang Yue smiled, "Don't worry, don't you think, the four body fluids he said are very familiar with air, water and fire?" ”

Zhu Zaiji snorted: "Isn't that what we call the Five Elements and Eight Outlines?" Our medical books have long said that the seven emotions of internal injuries and the six sexual feelings of external feelings can all cause diseases. I think they copied us, but the result was not completely plagiarized, and they lost everything. ”

Wang Yue laughed, "Then what do you think of his treatment?" ”

"Not good! If he dares to use it in Daming, he has to be a quack doctor to kill people! ”

Vesalius was not convinced, "This is what you don't understand, bloodletting is very complicated, whether it is close to the affected area or far away from the affected area, it makes a big difference. ”

Zhu Zaiji snorted: "What's big? It's just the difference between frying and stir-frying! Master, I think it's time to get rid of this liar. ”

Wang Yue waved his hand, "In our traditional Chinese medicine, there is no bloodletting therapy, not to mention that your attitude is very unscientific." To test whether his knowledge is true or false, it is necessary to find professional personnel. ”

"Professional?"

"Hmm!" Wang Yue said with a smile: "Go to the medical school and call Li Shizhen." ”

"Yes!"

Someone went down, and after a while, a young man came, who looked mediocre and even a little shy. Wang Yue handed him the manuscript of Vesalius directly.

"This is a medical book from the West, what do you think?"

Li Shizhen watched, Michelangelo helped him translate, and soon Li Shizhen was shocked, "I would like to worship this person as a teacher!" ”

Wang Yue said with a smile: "Don't be busy yet, according to this human body structure, he thinks that as long as he bleeds, he can cure the disease, what do you think?" ”

Li Shizhen's face changed instantly, and the two young people, who represented the pinnacle of Eastern and Western medicine, burned with a strong fighting spirit......
