Chapter 126: Two Old Commanders

Ma Fang, Liu Xian, two veterans from the north and one from the south are all considered to have been highly pragmatic in this time and space, and they have all been quite healthy so far, and you must know that in the original history, these two veterans died of illness last year.

Now, under the requirements of high pragmatism, the two veteran generals will go back to Beijing once a quarter to see Xinzhai for a physical examination, and the process is that at the beginning, the students brought out by Li Shizhen are responsible for the individual examination of the body, and finally Li Shizhen personally goes out to conduct a comprehensive review - this process is basically the same as the physical examination of Zhang Siwei and other important practical school members in Beijing.

When Gao Pragmatic came to visit the two of them, the "Xia Cha" of the two old generals had just ended, and their physical performance was basically good.

However, according to Li Shizhen, Ma Fang has a certain degree of gout, and Liu Xian has a relatively serious rheumatism, and although their physical foundation can be said to be excellent, after all, they are old, and these chronic diseases need to be slowly adjusted.

These two diseases appeared in them, Gao Pragmatic can understand very well, Ma Fang was taken to the grassland by the Mongols in his early years, but he soon emerged, his perennial diet was greasy, and he also liked to eat cattle and sheep offal, and the probability of gout must be high.

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

So when Li Shizhen personally prescribed a recipe for Ma Fang in accordance with Gao Pragmatic's requirements, Ma Fang's gout had greatly improved, and the only trouble was that when he saw Gao Pragmatic, he immediately stepped forward and took his hand and poured bitter water, saying that "That ghost recipe is even more ruthless than a Tartar knife, and the old man's mouth is about to fade out of the bird!" ”

In addition to laughing, Gao Pragmatic could only comfort gently.

As for Liu Xian's rheumatism, this is very complicated, and Li Shizhen's statement is highly pragmatic and does not fully understand, but the general meaning is that there are many possibilities for rheumatism, and Liu Xian's rheumatism, just from the perspective of symptoms, is affected by several conditions, and it is quite troublesome to treat.

Liu Xian himself is quite open to this, saying that it is just a little painful, and it is not worth mentioning. But according to people close to him, General Liu's joints were swollen when he became ill, sometimes his entire knee or shoulder was red, blood stasis could be seen with the naked eye under the skin, and those who had rheumatism knew how painful it was.

It's just that the old general is hard, obviously in a cold sweat, but he is still expressionless, and when he asks him, he only says "I can't die".

Fortunately, there was a little turn for the better this time, and when Gao Shizhen talked to Li Shizhen this time, he mentioned to Li Shizhen all kinds of experiences related to medical skills and Gu techniques when he was in Guangxi.

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

But Li Shizhen also said to Gao Shipra, even if Gu art has many harmful uses now, this is just like people who understand medical skills must also know how to use poison, you can't feel that it only has the purpose of harming people because it can harm people, just like the same knife can kill people and save people, the key is who is using it and how to use it.

And one of the things that helped Liu Xian in the conversation between Gao Shishi and Li Shizhen was that Li Shizhen mentioned that because the southwest has the most damp miasma, most of the people who have always been proficient in Miao Gu and Yao Gu have special methods to deal with diseases such as rheumatism.

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

This news made Gao Pragmatic very pleased, and wrote a letter to Annan to send it to Huang Zhiting - Gao Pragmatic himself could not contact the elusive heir of the ghost grass wife, but he knew that Huang Zhiting would definitely be able to find it if he wanted to.

It just so happened that this also added another reason for Huang Zhiting to go north.

After Gao Pragmatic told Liu Xian about this matter, Liu Xian's thinking seemed to be "off track", he frowned and thought about it, "It seems to be ...... to hear Ling'er talk about the layout of the owner in Annan and some of the preparations he made in Yunnan."

He paused, looked at Gao Shipra, and asked, "The owner judges that there will be a war on the Yunnan side?" If that's the case, a great talent like Miss Ali, the old man recommends that she can contribute to this war. ”

Gao Pragmatic can understand Liu Xian's intentions, the war takes place in places related to Yunnan and Annam, it can almost only be Burma, and fighting in Burma is almost a battle in the tropical jungle, and wet miasma is inevitable, if there is a top professional like Ali girl to control the medical treatment of the army, even if there is any epidemic, it can be controlled to the greatest extent.

But now that this matter has changed, I am afraid that the battle for Burma will have to drag on.

This change is not because of anything else, it is his high pragmatism that caused it.

The Battle of Monan greatly advanced the process of the Ming Dynasty's national policy and strategy against Mongolia, and now caused two major problems: first, the Ming Dynasty's treasury suddenly became very short of money; Second, in such a situation of lack of money, it is still necessary to continue to think of ways to increase investment in northern Xinjiang, especially Jiliao.

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

The rest such as the Jurchen or something, may only be regarded as a big hidden danger by Gao Pragmatic, and the rest are estimated to only be regarded as ringworm scabies, and such as the "Southern Barbarian Tribe" like Myanmar, in the eyes of the Ming people, even if there is a real fight, it is probably the level of a Tusi rebellion, and the importance is not even as important as Annam, so it is difficult to talk about how much attention will be cared about.

Therefore, after the battle of Monan, it is impossible for the Ming court to agree to launch a "preventive war" against Myanmar now, and even in the face of Myanmar's active provocation, most of them will choose to temporarily back down, or let Yunnan deal with it on its own - the so-called "camera war defense" is also.

This point is completely different between the Ming Dynasty and the Taqing Dynasty In the Taqing Dynasty, it is a big crime to provoke the border without permission, and it may be necessary to fall to the ground, but in the Ming Dynasty, almost all the border ministers have the right to "defend the camera", especially the civil officials and border ministers.

For example, Gao Pragmatic, the Liaodong Yuanma Siqing, if there is a problem in southern Liaoning, he can decide to defend the battle in southern Liaoning, without having to ask for instructions and report first, which has been clear when Gao pragmatic said this authority and responsibility before.

What's even more exaggerated is that if he feels that the security of southern Liaoning is threatened by other countries or ethnic groups around him, he can even take the initiative to take precautions, but this approach will take a little risk - if he loses, he may still be held responsible.

But even so, before the Chongzhen Dynasty, no civil officials who did similar things seemed to be held accountable to death. Including Zeng Milling in the past, it seems that he died because he wanted to recover the Hetao, but in fact, the deep-seated root of that incident lies in the fighting methods of Yan Song and Xia Yan, Zeng Milling was just used to sacrifice the flag.

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

After he thanked Liu Xian, he smiled at the two old generals and said, "I will go to southern Liaoning in my later life, maybe after a while, I will also face war, and I may ask the two old marshals to help at that time, I hope the two old marshals take good care of their health......"

As soon as he heard this, Liu Xian only raised his eyebrows, and Ma Fang was already overjoyed, "Liaodong still has to fight, that's great, the old man is very cheap with old bones, and he is itching and panicking when he is idle, and he is lacking a few Tartars to practice!" The owner must send someone to find the old man in time when the time comes! ”

Gao Shishi laughed and said, "Definitely, definitely." ”
