Shortly after the successful development of explosives, the Department of Surgery of Tai Hospital also announced the successful realization of surgery, which was mainly due to the emergence of chemical anesthetics.

Surgery is the key to the success of Western medicine, but at this time, this thing has become Chinese medicine. Although it has nothing to do with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it was first realized by medical professionals in the Ming Dynasty.

From this day on, there will be no more disputes between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine in Daming.

However, in medicine, there will inevitably be a new round of controversy, which is the debate between traditional Chinese medicine and new surgical medicine.

Generally speaking, there are still merits in Western medicine in later generations. Because Western medicine is a template training of doctors, it can train a large number of medical personnel in large quantities, although it is inferior to traditional Chinese medicine in dealing with many diseases, but it can meet the market demand.

Although traditional Chinese medicine is awesome, it is much more difficult to train a qualified Chinese medicine practitioner, and it is impossible to achieve template-based industrial training. This thing is about personal understanding, but not all of them have such a high level of understanding.

This is nothing more than the difference between elite medicine and general medicine, reliable Chinese medicine mostly serves the elite class, and some are willing to serve ordinary people, but the quantity cannot meet the market demand.

After Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, the Tai Hospital restored the model of supporting medicine in the Song Dynasty to a certain extent, and the atmosphere of the Tai Hospital has been greatly improved, and it still attaches great importance to the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine.

In the case of Western medicine, the same is being developed.

The success of surgery today is the result of development. After all the means of infusion, blood transfusion, and anesthetic are available. The surgery has been successful.

This has extraordinary implications for the military. Possessed the ability to perform surgery. It is possible to get bullets and arrows for soldiers, and at the same time, it will not take long for medical surgery to be achieved.

In order to study surgery, doctors at Tai Hospital dissected many foreign corpses and even conducted a large number of vivion experiments.

Western medicine can be promoted to the world in the future, and as for the advanced medicine of traditional Chinese medicine, it is good to keep it for your own use.

The promotion of Western medicine naturally has huge benefits, and you can make money by selling medicines! You can make money by having surgery! If you promote traditional Chinese medicine. How much money can Chinese medicine sell for? There are many diseases that do not require surgery at all in TCM, so how can you make money?

Therefore, in the future, traditional Chinese medicine in Daming will belong to internal medical benefits. In other countries, it is natural to firmly promote Western medicine in later generations.

Of course, the local area also wants to promote Western medicine, but it must take the route of integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine, which is not to combine the two academically, but to combine the two in the market, that is, to use traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and the two medical systems do not hinder each other.

Of course, in this era, because the Eight Gang Syndrome Differentiation has not yet occupied the mainstream market, the level of the Chinese medicine industry is generally relatively high. Western medicine is obviously not as popular in the country.

In the future, the Ming Dynasty will not gain any market.

Because the Ming Dynasty was not a Manchu Qing. In the future, the income of the people of the Ming Dynasty will be higher and higher, and ordinary people can afford to see Chinese medicine. At the same time, when practicing medicine, TCM practitioners in the New Deal area need to obtain a medical license, and the barefoot doctor who has learned the Eight Principles of Syndrome Differentiation cannot get a medical license.

And in the future, the people of the Ming Dynasty will not have a high illiteracy rate as in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and any cat or dog can go to study medicine, and there will be a market for a few years.

Traditional Chinese medicine still relies on the guidance of the state to move towards revitalization, and the level of traditional Chinese medicine in the Song Dynasty reached the peak of all dynasties, which is the result of official guidance.

……

In the Western Regions in the ninth year of the Apocalypse, the flames of war burned again.

Lu Xiangsheng, commander of the Northwest Military Region, launched a military offensive against Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in later generations; after more than a year of digestion of the Western Regions, the Western Regions had been basically pacified, and alien races who believed in extremist religions were under military control, and under the threat of the Ming army's bayonets, they were not allowed to continue to believe in extremist religions.

The Mongols in the Western Regions were able to produce with peace of mind, and under the new ruling system, the interests of the Mongol nobility and Mongolian herdsmen were protected to a certain extent, and a compromise was formed. In other words, they are unwilling to return to the past system under the commodity economy model of the Ming Dynasty.

The commodity economy of the Ming Dynasty has increased the income of the Mongolians, and there are more and more types of goods that can be purchased, and the quality of life has been greatly improved, especially the quality of life of the Mongolian nobles.

In such a situation, Lu Xiangsheng set his sights on the remnants of the Yarkand Khanate. That is, the Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan regions of later generations, which were at this time under the rule of the Yarkand Khanate, where there were fertile lands and cotton-producing regions.

Expanding to these areas is in line with the interests of the current Ming Dynasty.

Nowadays, water conservancy facilities and roads are being built everywhere in the Western Regions, cotton fields have been developed, and a unique cotton producing area is being formed.

It is only the current area that is suitable for the cultivation of cotton, and the areas occupied by the Yarkand Khanate, as well as the steppe regions of Central Asia, are suitable for the cultivation of cotton in large quantities.

In order to expand cotton production, the sweep of the Yarkand Khanate was logical.

However, the Ming army only dispatched 30,000 people in this war, and under the command of Lu Xiangsheng, the Ming army opened the defense line of the Yarkand Khanate with artillery, and successfully invaded the territory of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in later generations, and the Yarkand Khanate was defeated and defeated.

Abdullah couldn't hold on to the only territory he had, so he fled into Afghanistan with his people.

After conquering this area, Lu Xiangsheng marched out of the Ili River valley and launched a new round of territorial expansion into the Central Asian steppes.

At this time, Central Asia had been chiseled through by the Mongols, and the Mongols did not occupy these areas, and the Mongols at this time, as a gang of robbers, that is, the mode of grabbing and leaving, did not have such a strong ability to develop and utilize the land.

So much so that the Ming army came out of the Ili River Valley, and encountered little resistance along the way, so it advanced all the way to the line of Lake Balkhash and occupied the Almaty region of Kazakhstan in later times, and then stopped continuing to expand westward, but adopted a steady and steady model, and began to build cities, build roads, and settle.

The main reason why Lu Xiangsheng continued to expand westward was to further contact the situation in Central Asia, and it was obvious that the time had not yet come for an all-round expansion into Central Asia.

Transportation is still a problem, and in a commoditized economy, if transportation is not convenient, there is no way to develop a commoditized economy. Without the support of a commoditized economy, the Ming Dynasty's continuous westward expansion was obviously not cost-effective, and the administrative and military costs would increase at that time.

However, the situation in Central Asia is constantly changing, and the Ming must intervene. Because the Mongols could rob everywhere in Central Asia, but they were not allowed to occupy the Central Asian steppes. (To be continued.) )
