There is no reason why Beijing's peace conference will not break down, in fact, countries are just giving China a face, and at the same time, they need a buffer to adjust their own contradictions. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Among them, intensive private activities were carried out between Britain, France and the Americans, and between Germany and the United States, and the results of their activities were soon reflected on the battlefield.

The Germans changed their attitude and suddenly changed their policy of focusing on the American army, and began to target the French if there were no insiders among them, and at the same time the Americans began to reduce their attempts to bomb the Germans.

Obviously, Germany and the United States have reached some kind of agreement, Germany does not regard the United States as its biggest enemy, the United States has given up bombing Germany, and Germany is not carrying out a bombing of the United States with no return, and a large number of American planes and airships have begun to bomb Britain.

Yang Chao knew that in the original history, Germany had colluded with the United States and negotiated secretly, but unfortunately, it was Britain and France that were in charge in Europe.

Of course, even if Germany put the direction of attack back on the French army, they did not launch much offensive action, they were really unable to attack, not because of material restrictions, not because of food problems, but because of an infectious disease that swept the world.

Just like the plague in Northeast China, the Spanish flu also came as scheduled, with the first outbreak in the spring, and outbreaks in countries around the world, including China.

History records that the Spanish flu caused 20 million to 40 million deaths worldwide, more than the death toll of the world wars.

But this flu is very mysterious, the origin is mysterious, the symptoms are mysterious, and even the end is very mysterious.

There are different theories about where the flu originated, and there are also theories that it originated in southern China and was brought to Europe by Chinese workers.

The real earliest record actually came from the United States, which broke out in a military camp in Kansas in the United States in February, so the real origin should be the United States, and then it spread to France through the U.S. military, from France to Germany, from Germany to Russia, from Russia to China, and the most serious place in China happened to be the northeast, nearly half of the population in Harbin was infected.

But the first wave of the flu caused widespread colds, but not widespread deaths, and in September, the second wave struck, this time with a menacing flu that could kill people within three days.

Moreover, the influenza virus mainly attacks young people over 20 years old, but vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children are less serious. This symptom is very strange, no one can tell the pathology, Yang Chao is not a medical student, and he can't figure it out.

What makes Yang Chao feel comforted is that the threat caused by the flu to the constitution of Chinese is not the greatest, the last wave of influenza caused few deaths, and even did not attract the attention of the medical community, only Yang Chao attached great importance to it, so that Wu Liande immediately took emergency measures, from the northeast to Guangzhou, from Shanghai to Sichuan, all large cities have carried out health martial law, in the newspapers called for water to be boiled and drunk, streets to be disinfected, no accumulation of garbage is allowed, once found immediately punish the health department.

Although China has also had a large number of deaths recorded in its original history, it is still relatively small compared to Westerners. Just like this flu 'kills' young people, the old people are because they have experienced various influenzas when they were young, and there are similar antibodies, and in the constitution of Chinese, there are also a considerable number of people who have strong antibodies, of course, this is not the superiority of Chinese over foreigners, but due to the dense population, there have been more plagues in Chinese history than any country.

Therefore, the constitution of the Chinese is the strongest against this plague.

Such examples abound in history, for example, when Europeans arrived in the Americas, they were fine, while Native Americans were infected and died in large numbers by various viruses because Europeans had antibodies to the virus. After the Manchurians entered the customs, a large number of princes died of smallpox, but the emperors and princes of the Ming Dynasty did not die because of this.

This is an innate factor.

Another reason is that China's sanitary conditions are far less than those of developed Europe and the United States, so Chinese people who can live often have similar cold experiences and accumulate a large number of antibodies in their bodies.

After the American GIs arrived in Europe, there was a phenomenon that the American GIs were much stronger than the Europeans in terms of physical fitness, but the sickness rate in trench warfare was higher than that of the Europeans, and the lowest sickness rate in the American army was not the tall farm boys, but the low-rise soldiers in the slums of the city.

There is also the fact that Indians drink the water of the Ganges River, and people from other countries go to India without dysentery, even if they go to Africa in vain, when they go to Africa, the black uncle is alive and well, but people in other countries may be so half-dead by various germs.

These are all acquired factors.

There is also an important reason, the Europeans lack of medical means for the plague, European medicine in this era has been in the world's advanced ranks, but stretch the history to the level of a thousand years, Chinese medicine can be said to be proud of the rivers and lakes, the ancestors left a large number of prescriptions for the treatment of the plague, although it is difficult to use modern medicine to explain the fantasy of Chinese medicine, but many drugs are miraculous.

In this plague, many old Chinese medicine practitioners prescribed a medicine called Yinqiao San, which had a good curative effect. The Yin Qiao San is the Qing Dynasty medical scientist Wu Jiao summarized the methods and records of the treatment of plague in the past dynasties, especially the experience of Wu Youke in the Ming Dynasty in treating the great plague in the south at that time, and left this prescription.

After verification, this house has a considerable effect, and Yang Chao immediately ordered the collection of such drugs throughout the country.

Fortunately, the materials used in Yinqiaosan are still relatively common, such as forsythia, honeysuckle, bellflower, mint, bamboo leaves, raw licorice, nepeta, light tempeh, burdock, reed root and other materials.

When the second wave began, there were no shortages of medicines in major cities, although prices inevitably skyrocketed.

Interestingly, Westerners have also taken notice of Chinese medicines and are asking for help, considering that these people used to be dismissive of Chinese medicine.

Since Wu Liande came up with penicillin, streptomycin and other drugs, they have re-examined traditional Chinese medicine, because obtaining medicine from bacteria is more like traditional Chinese medicine that is good at extracting drugs from nature, rather than Western medicine, which is good at getting drugs from chemistry.

A large number of Chinese scholars who have always been unconvinced have also found from the pile of old papers that there are relevant records of penicillin in the Tang Dynasty, and it is believed that the green hair used by tailors to treat wounds in the Tang Dynasty is actually penicillium, so penicillin is also listed as a traditional Chinese medicine.

This time the flu, in the ancient Chinese medical books can find three or five similar records, there are also a large number of treatment experience and records, as early as the Han Dynasty Zhang Zhongjing has a record of treating the plague, this is a valuable experience, Wu Liande sorted it out, Westerners can't accept it, if they don't accept it, they have to die, so pull down their faces and ask for help.

It must be a request for help, because China has carried out drug control, and temporarily does not allow the export of ancient medicines such as Yinqiao San, Sangju Drink, Huoxiang Zhengqi San, Qingying Tang, Qinggong Tang, and Rhino Horn Dihuang Tang, and of course, no one was willing to import these drugs before.

However, it provides a market for Japan and North Korea, because these two countries have also learned the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine from China, although the Koreans call it Korean medicine, the Japanese call it Kampo medicine, and Vietnam called Southern medicine, in fact, they are all the same thing, and the prescriptions are basically the prescriptions left by the ancestors, and the prescriptions are almost all left by famous doctors in various eras, not that ordinary people can't study prescriptions, but in the era of underdeveloped transportation, what can be circulated must be famous doctors, proving the most effective drugs. Those that are not famous can only be reduced to home remedies and circulated locally in small places.

This flu can be regarded as a rare and considerable export to the North Koreans, and even in order to get the medical supply of North Korea, the United States and Britain competed to sign an equal treaty with North Korea and recognized the Korean Kingdom; As for the French, they have Vietnam for medicines, but they don't care much about North Korea.

At the same time, the Japanese also changed their contempt for traditional Chinese medicine after the Meiji Restoration, after the Meiji Restoration, only those who studied Western medicine in Japan could get a medical license, and in the past they respected Chinese art, Chinese pharmacies were called Kampo, and Western medicine was first called Nanban Fang, and later called Western medicine.

Lu Xun, who studied medicine in Japan, was infected by the Japanese, and firmly believed that Chinese medicine was a fraud and that only Western medicine was the real medicine.

As a result, this flu proved that Chinese medicine is still useful, and during this period of time, China has become stronger, and Japan's problem of learning from the strong has immediately become ill, and Japan has been operating to restore Kampo medicine long before the flu, and promote the government to recognize the medical status of Kampo medicine.

With the help of this flu, the Japanese government quickly promoted the formalization of Kampo medicine, and those who studied Kampo medicine could not only become barefoot doctors, but also get licenses and go to the house to treat people.

Yang Chao asked Wu Liande to take this opportunity to start the sorting of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, the theory of Chinese medicine is really painful, because the five elements are too mysterious, Westerners dissect people into meat residue and can't find where the meridians are, of course they refuse to admit it, but some of the prescriptions are really wonderful.

What Yang Chao asked Wu Liande to do was to scientifically verify the prescriptions, effectively compile them into the pharmacopoeia, and become official drugs, prove that the useless home remedies were immediately discarded.

As for the theory of Chinese medicine, forget it, that thing is really difficult to understand, leave it to another time and space to deal with.

Wu Liande has found a large number of old Chinese medicine practitioners, and the harvest is still very huge, such as artemisinin, which can treat malaria, which can make Ms. Tu win the Nobel Prize, and it is also among the traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, as well as Yunnan Baiyao and so on.

It's just that Yang Chao didn't promise to give aid to the British, and China is also an epidemic area, so at least next year, otherwise the ban on drug exports will not change.

Of course, Yang Chao also gave face to the British royal family, urgently aided 100,000 people with medicines, and at the same time specially sent the old Chinese medicine doctor to treat the sick British king. At the same time, he cured the sick king of Spain.

Treating the diseases of Western aristocrats made cheap drugs like Yinqiaosan a world-renowned drug, and taking this flu as an opportunity, Chinese medicine went to the world. (To be continued.) )
