Chapter 714: It's not polite, but it's a great benefit to the United Nations!
In southern China, especially in the humid climate, many people suffer from this disease, and at that time, people had no way to do this disease, and often sat back and waited. Like the land of Bashu or the Lingnan region, there are often cases of illness, before Ben Gongzi crossed, there was no special medicine at all, either he relied on his own physique to resist, or he lay in bed and waited for the coming of death.
It can be said that the mortality rate of this disease is extremely high, and in this era when there is no specific medicine, it is said that the mortality rate of this disease has reached more than 40%.
It was a terrible disease, and the torment of illness was so unbearable that people equated it with plague and miasma. It's definitely a daunting disease.
However, the old man stood here in great health, proudly announcing to everyone that he had a medicine and that the disease could be cured.
This disappearance has long been known to these civil and military ministers, otherwise, they would have strongly opposed Ben Gongzi's use of troops against the barbarian land in the south, because the terrible mortality caused by this disease is definitely not something that everyone can afford.
Even so, the ministers seemed to have a lot of speculation at first. However, the longer I stayed, the more I listened to my uncle's story of the thousands of craftsmen and tens of thousands of families who migrated to the land of Jiaozhi, and none of them died of malaria.
As for the special medicine mentioned by my uncle, it is Artemisia annua tablets, the so-called Artemisia annua tablets are made by mixing a certain amount of bee dense and flour as coagulants after the whole Artemisia annua has been sun-dried and crushed.
Malaria, in the world, there are very few special medicines, in ancient times, there was a story about the Manchu Qing Tartar Emperor malaria, and was cured by missionaries with cinchona cream, and cinchona cream in history it has saved countless lives, by the doctor's respect. Although cinchona is mainly found in Indonesia, its homeland is Ecuador in the Americas.
Cinchona cream, made from the bark powder of the cinchona tree, has historically been an extremely effective antidote against malaria. However, it is easy to relapse after healing. There are many side effects, mainly tinnitus, hard of hearing, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, etc., collectively known as cinchona reaction.
According to legend, in the region of Maracatos, in the province of Loja, in the mountains of southern Ecuador, an Indian once fell ill with malaria, and his whole body was feverish and thirsty, so he crawled to a small pond deep in the forest, drank a lot of cold water, and suddenly felt that his illness was relieved, and he found that the water in this pond was actually bitter. Later, I learned that there were many cinchona trees growing next to the pond, and some of them were poured into the water, and the bitter taste was the extract of the bark. Due to repeated attempts and results, it is regarded as a miracle medicine by the local aborigines and has been passed down from generation to generation.
After Columbus discovered the New World and Europeans poured into the Americas, a chieftain named Bedro Leeva, out of friendship, revealed the medicinal value of the cinchona tree to the missionary Juan López and gave him a piece of cinchona bark as a souvenir, so the secret finally fell into the hands of the Europeans.
There is a well-known story about quinine, in 1638 when the wife of the then governor of Peru, Kim Joan, contracted vivax malaria and was brought by the Spanish governor who ruled the Andes with some cinchona bark powder. According to the local aborigines, the bark can reduce fever, and the results are really effective. Later, the countess brought it back to her native Spain, where malaria was raging on the continent, and the bark powder became the first effective treatment for malaria in Europe.
In 1693, the French missionary John Hong used cinchona cream to cure the malaria of the Qing Emperor Kangxi. Later, Cao Xueqin's grandfather, Cao Yin, was suffering from malaria and asked Emperor Kangxi for cinchona. Suzhou weaving Li Xu sang the cloud: "Yin said to the minister, the doctor uses medicine, but it can't be effective, and the master's holy medicine will save me." After Kangxi knew about it, he specially "gave the stagecoach to rush to the starry night", and repeatedly instructed "If it is not malaria, this medicine cannot be used, it must be serious, and ten thousand instructions." "Before the medicine arrived, Cao Yin died.
The side effects of cinchona cream are not small, and the other is that it is easy to recur, so in later generations, the world is looking for a cure for malaria. And Huaxia has finally found the best medicine: Artemisia annua.
This thing is the very common Artemisia grass, which was often used to smoke mosquitoes in the homes of ordinary people in this era. And before I knew that my uncle was going to Jiaozhi, I had already started to prepare. And after the drug was cured for malaria patients, mass production has begun.
As far as I know, the artemisinin contained in Artemisia annua cannot be heated, at least under the current conditions, it is difficult to preserve it with a decoction, so Yu Crisp uses the sun-dried Artemisia annua to make medicine, but I don't want to, and the effect is significant.
It is for this reason that the people who went to the land of Cochin were able to escape from the clutches of the terrible disease of malaria.
With the uncle's narration, these civil and military ministers finally understood the gap between the tolerance of northerners and southerners to the environment in the face of environmental differences. Therefore, the southerners were the most suitable for migrating to those islands that were very important to the current Chinese Empire.
"But Your Majesty, even if you want to migrate southerners, it's not so easy to do." Ma Zhou frowned and raised his own objection. "Just talking about the habit of the Chinese people who are difficult to leave their homeland, and if you want to go to Luzon, you have to leave your homeland and go overseas. Thinking about it, I'm afraid that nine times out of ten, it will be difficult for anyone to go. ”
"I know this truth, that's why I summoned all of you to come and discuss. I think you should all know the importance of the Southern Islands to the empire today. And most of these places are based on local barbarism. I glanced at Zhu Wenwu and continued in a deep voice. If I don't send people to China, then when the strength of those barbarians is strong in the future, it will inevitably affect the empire's control over these places. ”
For example, the southern Xinjiang lands. Especially in the area of Cochin, in 214 B.C., after Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he sent a large army across Lingnan to occupy today's northern Vietnam and Guangxi, Guangdong, and Fujian, and conquered the local Baiyue tribes.
In 203 BC, Zhao Tuo, the commander of the Qin Dynasty, established himself as the Wu King of Nanyue (later renamed Emperor Wu of Nanyue) during the chaotic period at the end of the Qin Dynasty, with his capital in present-day Guangzhou. Northern Vietnam became part of the South Vietnamese state. By 111 B.C., Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent a large army to destroy the Nanyue Kingdom, and set up three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan in northern Vietnam to implement direct administration.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Cham people killed the Han Dynasty's Yen Nam County Xiang Lin County Order, became independent from the Eastern Han Dynasty, occupied most of the original Yen Nam County (central Vietnam), took Brahmanism as the state religion, established the Cham country, and the Eastern Han Dynasty with Hue as the boundary.
And after Emperor Wen of Sui destroyed Chen, the world was peaceful. It happened that Lin Yi had not paid tribute for a long time, and the ministers said that there were many strange treasures there, and Emperor Wen was itchy when he heard it, so he sent the general Liu Fang to the south at the end of Renshou. The king of Linyi led the giant elephant to battle, but the Sui army could not defeat it. Liu Fang had a plan, so he dug a lot of traps on the battlefield, and then pretended to retreat, and Lin Yi's soldiers chased after him. As a result, the elephant soldiers were all trapped, and there was confusion and a great defeat. Liu Fang hit the national capital, and the spoils of war included eleven golden gods. In the first year of Emperor Yang of Sui's great cause, Emperor Yang sent an army to the south to destroy the Linyi State and divide its place into three counties. The occupants were not convinced, resisted repeatedly, and finally succeeded in recovering the country.
It can be seen from this that the local indigenous people, when a large proportion of the local people, were extremely detrimental to the empire's control over these remote areas. More importantly, they only know how to be harsh, but they do not know how to educate them.
"To educate? Your Majesty, those barbarians, illiterate, unetiquette, vulgar, and at the slightest conflict, they will face each other with swords. Moreover, I am very hostile to our Han people. If you want to educate them, I'm afraid you will suffer from them......" Yang Gongren frowned and stood up in disagreement.
"Actually, indoctrination is not impossible." I smiled and waved my hand, signaling Yang Gongren not to rush to refute first. Then he put forward his own point of view, in order to educate the alien race, first, it must be conquered by force, and then, destroy the culture and traditions of the other party, and then start to educate.
Or to build their future, this trick was the most common tactic used by the European invaders in the Age of Discovery, holding the Bible in one hand and the musket in the other, and with these two hands, they conquered one country after another, one vast territory after another.
Benevolence and indoctrination are impossible to make those barbarians truly submit to our China, so war is the premise and the beginning. Only when the Chinese Empire puts down all the rebels and makes them understand that only by obediently submitting and doing things honestly according to the rules of the Chinese Empire can they survive, then, in the long run, they will gradually identify themselves as members of the Chinese Empire.
Every change of dynasty in China is a bloody expansion, and only then did it have the territory of today's Chinese Empire.
I spoke very gently, even with a hint of humor, and in addition, there was a bit of compassion and compassion, trying to downplay the blood and cruelty here.
However, none of the people present were stupid people, except for Li Xuanba and Luo Shixin, who were thinking about how to deal with Kong Yingda, the old man, who explained their homework in addition to calculating how to fight with others, the faces of the others couldn't help but turn a little pale.
"It's not in line with the courtesy." Kong Yingda's voice was a little hoarse, like a strange sound rubbing in the dry desert. The great Confucian of the country, who should have said it righteously and impassionedly, said it with such a weak heart, as if this incompatibility with etiquette was really a little difficult to speak.
"It's not in line with etiquette, but it's also in the great interest of the United Nations." Wei Zheng, the president of the Supreme Court and justice of the Chinese Empire, said. The voice is also extremely astringent, but Wei Zheng's eyes are bright, very bright, his expression is very bitter, and he is a little ashamed, but more than that, there is a kind of calmness that although there are tens of millions of people.
