The results of Wang Ji and Tan Yunxian's discussion will not be announced until a day.

On the contrary, the capital is more lively, and the people can talk nonsense than Mr. Storyteller, and the more they talk, the happier they are, and they have become a fairy fighting method.

At this time, in the study of Yan's mansion, Yan Chengjin opened the letter brought back by his father, and burned it after reading it.

Open a self-drawn sketch and hang it on the screen.

The nine-sided situation transmitted back by my father, the imperial court will definitely attack Tatar in the future.

After Dayan Khan obtained the general of Sanmen Hongyi, he has been on the steppe to conquer other tribes.

"The Tatars and the Warats were originally one, the Tatars had the blood of Genghis Khan, and the Warats were other tribes, and now under the iron fist of Dayan Khan, the two tribes have a tendency to unify."

Yan Chengjin had a faint premonition that Dayan Khan would be stronger than ever.

Sending troops to the Tatars, the military fields on the nine northern sides will be all barren and even reduced to battlefields.

We can only replace the military fields in the north with arable land in the southwest as soon as possible to provide money and food.

In this way, the imperial court can send troops as soon as possible.

"I wonder how the progress of the southwest is being cultivated?"

Yan Chengjin ordered people to prepare a sedan chair and go to the cabinet, and the sparse music transmitted from the southwest will be presented here.

……

In the southwest, 100,000 mountains, lush.

White tents are set up in the verdant forest, towering trees, and speckled light falls through the cracks.

"Doctor, can this disease be cured?!"

Ma Qin clenched his teeth, as if the old man in front of him said that he couldn't cure him, and he was going to split him.

He is a thousand households in the tuntian camp, and he is responsible for clearing the land here.

In May, the weather became hot and humid, and there were not only many mosquitoes in the mountains and forests, but also serious diseases that were infected.

At first, he was a soldier of the night watch, and he was mentally tired and had an unbearable headache.

Then, he fell to the ground, and for more than a month, it spread like a ripple in the barracks.

It's useless to bring someone with a mouth.

Seeing his brothers fall one by one, Ma Qin couldn't bear it, so he sent someone to the city to tie up another doctor, and trekked through mountains and rivers to the camp.

The doctor didn't dare to touch the soldier's pulse, withdrew a few steps, and said in a panic: "My lord, this is malaria, I advise you to withdraw from this place first, these people are hopeless." ”

That's malaria, and there's no wrong with that.

He practiced medicine in the city for decades, knowing that every dozen years, in the summer, there would be an outbreak of malaria.

God favors, the small scale is fine, and a few people die, and it will be calmed down.

But now that the army has fallen, where can a few dead people be calmed?

Ma Qin asked angrily: "The official knows that it is malaria, and asks if you can cure it!" ”

He wanted to leave, putting mosquitoes aside, this mountain forest is full of leeches and poisonous insects, who wants to stay.

But the court appointed him to reclaim the wasteland, and if he ran away, he would be a deserter, and he would be exiled with a rod.

For more than a month, I have asked several other doctors, but I didn't say that I was cured, and I even contracted one.

The doctor put aside his hand and regretted it very much: "You said earlier, the old man won't come with you, and the old man is gone." ”

The medicine box was not carried on his back, and he stumbled out of the camp tent and ran in the direction in which he came.

The soldiers came up and asked, "Qianhu, do you want to arrest him back?" ”

Malaria, I don't know how it spreads from person to person.

Ma Qin thought carefully, if he put this old man back in the city, wouldn't it harm the people of a city?

When the time comes, the court will blame it, and the heads of the ten clans will not be enough to cut off.

"Get it back! Locked in the tent and ordered someone to guard it, and immediately passed on the order of the thousand households, no one was allowed to leave the camp for a single step, and the violator was immediately beheaded! ”

More than a month ago, it was reported that he had returned to Beijing.

Counting the days, if it is fast, it should be almost to the capital.

I hope the imperial court will approve the withdrawal of troops.

……

Zhang Mao carried the hem of his clothes, walked through the noon gate and walked straight to the front of the Fengtian Palace.

The little eunuch stretched out his hand to stop him, but he suddenly pushed him away.

At this time, in the hall, Mu Bin said to Emperor Hongzhi: "An Dingbo sent back a letter from home, and besides, Yan Chengjin has no other movements. ”

Emperor Hongzhi bowed his head, and suddenly, he was disturbed by the movement outside the hall, and looked up blankly.

Zhang Mao strode into the hall: "Your Majesty, the minister said at the beginning that the southwest is a place of poisonous barriers, how can people live, now it's okay?" ”

"What does the British Duke mean?"

With such a rude face saint, the Hongzhi emperors were a little displeased.

"The southwest has sent back an urgent performance, and in the Tuntian camp in Liuzhou Prefecture, more than 100 people have died due to malaria, but I am afraid that now, it is even worse."

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

At the beginning, Yan Chengjin advised him to go to the southwest to open up wasteland, but he didn't expect that such a thing would happen.

Turning it open, the handwriting was sloppy, and I could barely read it clearly.

"The Tuntian camp is also an elite selected from the Beijing camp, and I also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to recall the soldiers in the southwest." Zhang Mao bowed slightly, please play.

Emperor Hongzhi hesitated for a moment, fell into deep thought, and soon, turned his head to look at Xiao Jing again: "Pass the cabinet." ”

At this time, the cabinet is on duty.

Yan Chengjin said to Liu Jian: "Dare to ask Liu Gong, can Li Kang and Han Wen send back the music?" ”

Liu Jian's face was serious, and he asked rhetorically: "What do you want the southwest to do?" ”

Without waiting for Yan Chengjin to answer, the serving Hanlin walked in and reported: "Gong Liu, Your Majesty invites you to go to Fengtian Palace." ”

Liu Jian stood up and was impatient: "What's the matter?" ”

"There was a rush back from the southwest, and it seemed to be malaria."

Yan Chengjin was a little surprised that malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes and is very easy to break out in the dense forests of the southwest.

This is also the reason why, in ancient times, the south was obviously fertile land, but the population was far inferior to that of the north.

In the past, the Tusi governed the Turen, and even if it broke out, it could not be transmitted to the imperial court, so there were few records in the actual records.

Liu Jian took his official hat and said hurriedly: "This official goes to Fengtian Palace, and you go to report to Yu Qiao." ”

Han Lin answered.

Yan Chengjin stood still and did not move.

Malaria is a serious disease that kills thousands of people.

Even in the last century, the history of developing anti-malarial drugs was less than 100 years.

Yan Chengjin remembered reading the newspaper and discovering a cure for malaria in later generations came from an ancient book.

As for which medical book it is, I forgot.

It is better to develop this drug as soon as possible, in case it breaks out in the capital one day......

Fengtian Temple,

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the bullet and didn't speak for a long time, and Zhang Mao was still standing in the hall.

Not long after, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang came to the palace one after another.

"Malaria is coming out of the southwest, and I want to withdraw from the Tuntian camp and return to Beijing, after all, it is a wild place, what do you think?" Emperor Hongji asked.

At the beginning, Yan Chengjin said that the land in the south was fertile, so he sent the Tuntian camp to reclaim the south.

But there are no credentials.

Nowadays, the people who go to open up the wasteland are not only the tuntian camp, but also the natives gathered in the south.

If the imperial court does not withdraw the order, it must continue to stay in the south to cultivate.

I don't know how many people die at every turn, and the loss of national strength comes from this.

Liu Jian bowed and said: "People are heavy on the ground, people will die, but the ground can't run away, the minister thinks that the army should be withdrawn." ”

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Li Dongyang.

Li Dongyang's face was serious: "It's just that it's too late to withdraw the troops now, and the soldiers in the southwest need to be treated."

If the imperial court does not send imperial doctors, it will not be able to save people, and if it spreads to all prefectures and counties, the consequences can be imagined. ”

In their view, malaria is a communicative disease that must cause mass casualties.

If you want to withdraw your troops, you can't save people even if you want to withdraw them, which was a month ago.

At this moment, the South does not know how serious it is.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xiao Jing with a serious face: "I remember that when Wang Ji and Tan Yunxian were studying medicine, they talked about the medicine for malaria, how was the exchange between the two?"

Xiao Jing hesitated for a moment, and kept sending someone to keep an eye on Huimin Pharmacy.

Also ask the imperial doctor to supervise it, so that no one changes the prescription halfway.

"Back to Your Majesty, as of yesterday, Dr. Wang has cured ten more cases than Tan Yunxian, and the slave has not received the news today, so I will send someone to ask."
