Chapter 248: Cracking the Qi Plague
"Big Roundabout Strategy!"
Zhao Xu was excited.
He is a hot-blooded young man, and naturally has an ambition to dominate the world, but all along, domination of the world is only a vague ideal.
And now Fan Zheng's big detour strategy is proposed, which instantly gives him a clear goal, as long as it is realized step by step according to the big detour strategy, he will dominate the world in the future.
Of course, it can also be looked at the other way around, if the Great Song Dynasty can't even destroy the weakest Qingtang among the countries, let alone dominate the world.
"Qingtang has treacherously attacked the Great Song Dynasty twice in a row for no reason, and it should indeed be severely punished!" Zhang Dian said coldly.
Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty are feuds, the war between the two countries is commonplace, the Great Song Dynasty has long been accustomed to it, but the little Qingtang dared to bully the Great Song Dynasty, which made the Manchu Dynasty officials angry, and naturally wanted to teach Qingtang a good lesson.
"Qingtang's equipment is backward, and my Great Song Dynasty Tiefutu and Kidnapping Horse have been built, which is enough to defeat Qingtang in cavalry!" The privy envoy Zeng Bu also agreed.
Tiefutu and Kidnapping Horse became famous in a battle, which greatly increased the strength of the Great Song cavalry, and they had already defeated Qingtang on the frontal battlefield, and the remaining remnants of Qingtang were naturally not worried, and in terms of force, the Great Song Dynasty had the upper hand.
"It just so happens that the Western Xia is defeated, and the Liao State wants peace talks, so it will definitely not interfere with Qingtang, this is the best time to destroy Qingtang." Cai Bian agreed.
The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty agreed, first, they wanted to use Qingtang to kill chickens and monkeys, which was used to deter the surrounding small countries, so as not to dare to invade the Great Song Dynasty, and secondly, the reason and time to destroy Qingtang were also ripe, and at the same time, they would obtain excellent horse breeding land for the Great Song Dynasty, which was a triple win.
"Qingtang is indeed an itch of scabies, but it is not easy to get rid of Qingtang! You have forgotten the gas epidemic in Qingtang! Lu Dafang said with a solemn face.
"Plague!"
Suddenly, the hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned, and everyone in the world knew that Qingtang was weak, but Qingtang dared to repeatedly invade the Great Song Dynasty, naturally he had no fear, one of which was that Qingtang was a nomadic tribe and was prevalent in cavalry, while the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty did not have an advantage.
The second is the gas epidemic, the famous Tang army was defeated by the gas epidemic in Tibet, and the Song army was inferior to the Tang army, and the face of the gas epidemic may be even more unbearable.
Zhao Xu was immediately extremely disappointed, Fan Zheng's big detour strategy gave him the confidence to calm the world, but the first step of the big detour strategy to destroy Qingtang encountered a setback, obviously victory was within reach, but because of the epidemic, it failed.
Yang Wei looked at Fan Zheng and said mockingly: "Lord Fan has made the first contribution in Pingxia City twice in a row, and he does have some talents, but he is too eager for quick success, if the Great Song Dynasty wants to be strong, it still needs to be politically and harmonious, and the monarchs and ministers can revitalize the Great Song Dynasty." ”
Fan Zheng has just made his first contribution, and the conservative old party naturally looks down on Fan Zheng and ridicules one after another.
Fan Zheng glanced at Yang Wei with disdain when he heard this, and said, "Qi epidemic? You have forgotten Fan's origin. ”
"Origin?" Yang Wei frowned, and looked at Fan Zheng coldly, Fan Zheng was just a little doctor, how could he compare to these Jinshi and first officials.
"Wait! Too a doctor, a healer, an evil doctor Fan Zheng! Air Plague! ”
Yang Wei couldn't help but be shocked and looked at Fan Zheng in disbelief.
Other ministers of the old party also reacted and looked at Fan Zheng in shock.
"It's ............." Su Song thought of a possibility and looked at Fan Zheng in surprise.
Zhao Xu also reacted, and said with both gains and losses: "Could it be that Fan Aiqing has a way to solve the qi epidemic." ”
If it is an ordinary person, he will definitely be helpless in the face of the gas epidemic, but Fan Zheng is an evil doctor, and even Fan Zheng has a way to crack the Luoyang epidemic, and it is naturally easy to crack the gas epidemic in Qingtang.
The minister of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly breathed heavily, if the Great Song Dynasty could crack the Qingtang Qi Epidemic, there would be no more obstacles to the elimination of Qingtang, and the Great Roundabout Strategy would be smoothly implemented.
Fan Zheng nodded solemnly and said: "From the perspective of the doctor's concept, the air plague is not a plague, because the air plague is not contagious, and it only appears in the land of Tubo Qingtang. ”
Su Song nodded slightly, it was precisely the qi epidemic that could not be explained by the concept of the doctor, which made the doctor puzzled.
"Yes, according to the records of the past dynasties, as long as you reach Tubo, you will be infected with the air epidemic, but as long as you go out of the Tubo tribes, the air epidemic will be cured without medicine, which is also the reason why Qingtang has no fear, and the alignment of the past dynasties can only be based on appeasement." Zeng Bu had a headache and said, it was the existence of the qi epidemic that made Tubo a headache in all dynasties.
Fan Zheng looked around and said: "Recently, doctors have been studying the temperature and found a phenomenon, that is, the higher the mountain, the lower the temperature, and there are even many high mountains where the snow does not melt all year round, but the summer is scorching at the foot of the mountain. ”
Yang Wei was unconvinced: "What does this have to do with the air epidemic?" ”
Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Of course, it is related, because both Qingtang and Tubo have a huge temperature difference between day and night, even in summer, there are frosts, everywhere you go, there are glaciers and snow fields, and high mountain snow, so I think the climate in Qingtang is the same as the climate on the top of the high mountains." ”
Yang Wei opened his mouth wide, looked up at the top of his head and said, "You mean that the people of Qingtang are like living on top of our heads. ”
The Manchu ministers laughed, thinking that Fan Zheng was just a dream.
Fan Zhengzheng said: "No, Fan thinks that the terrain of Qingtang is higher than the mountains we have seen, and it is connected, Fan prefers to call it the plateau, the Qingtang tribes live on the plateau all the year round, and have already adapted to the local climate, and there is no discomfort, while the Song people live in the low-lying plains all the year round, and suddenly come to the plateau, the body will be extremely uncomfortable, Fan calls it altitude sickness." ”
"Altitude sickness?"
Su Song's heart suddenly brightened, and he nodded solemnly, perhaps only this situation can reasonably explain the qi epidemic.
Zhao Xu couldn't wait and asked the question that everyone was most concerned about: "So the air plague is not a disease?" So how can it be healed? ”
Fan Zhengdao: "In the land of Tibet, there is a medicinal material called Rhodiola, this medicine can alleviate the air epidemic, if you want to cure the air epidemic, you only need to live on the plateau for a few days, the body slowly adapts to the plateau terrain, and the air epidemic can also be cured without medicine." ”
"I see?"
"How simple is it?"
The officials of the Manchu Dynasty said suddenly.
"As for Qingtang, most of its grasslands are concentrated in the low-lying Hehuang land and near Qinghai Lake, there is no obvious altitude sickness here, the Song army does not need to worry about altitude sickness when it captures this place, and the other territories of Qingtang are not the highest Lhasa land, altitude sickness is not strong, just take Rhodiola rosea, and then slowly march to adapt to the plateau environment, Qingtang gas epidemic can no longer stop the Song army." Fan Zheng said solemnly.
"Good!" Zhao Xu applauded.
Without the gas epidemic, Qingtang has nothing to worry about, and the first step of the Great Song Dynasty's roundabout strategy will no longer be hindered.
"The official is wise!"
Hundreds of officials bowed their heads one after another.
This time, even the old party agreed, without the gas epidemic, Qingtang is not to worry about at all, coupled with Qingtang's repeated teachings, it is very appropriate for the Great Song Dynasty to use Qingtang to kill chickens and monkeys.
"Taking advantage of the defeat of Qingtang, the minister asked the official family to give an order to attack Qingtang immediately." Zeng Bu couldn't wait.
At this moment, the Qingtang cavalry had just lost troops in the six states of Xihe, and it was a good time to beat the water dogs.
Zhao Xu's heart was suddenly pounding.
