Of course, ancient people did not know that maggots breeding on infected wounds would not aggravate the infection, but would actually facilitate healing. And Zhu Yongxing would not wait for maggots to naturally grow on the infected wounds of the wounded. He had his own simple method of raising maggots. Then
It is based on the preparation method of southern "meat sprouts" dish.
Sprout sounds disgusting and looks disgusting, but it is a high-protein food, very nutritious, and it is said to be delicious, but Zhu Yongxing has not had the courage to try it yet. The dish is made by mixing the meat with the required seasonings and then cooking it.
Flies are lured to produce maggots. When the maggots grow fat, they fall into the pocket hanging under the meat and become meat sprouts.
Later researchers said that maggots can clean large wounds that are difficult to heal faster than surgery; maggot secretions can also destroy unhealthy or abnormal tissues without damaging healthy tissues; maggots can remove bacteria from wounds and stimulate wound healing.
…
Zhu Yongxing does not need to explain the efficacy without looking at the slogan, and he cannot explain it clearly. On the contrary, it is easier for people to believe in the name of God, and it creates a sense of awe.
The ancients often used similar illusory things to explain the rise and fall of a country, such as destiny and destiny. Therefore, Zhu Yongxing's pretense was not only to improve his personal prestige, but more importantly, to boost people's confidence in continuing to fight against the Qing Dynasty.
The Ming Zuo is not exhausted and the energy is not exhausted. God has given him a cure. This will definitely have a great political impact. After it spreads, it will affect not only the thousands of people around him. Moreover, it is rumored that there have always been artistic rebirths.
With the characteristics of processing and sublimation, Zhu Yongxing couldn't imagine what it would be like in the future.

Maggots that were still tiny before have become much larger after feasting on the ulcerated wound. Because there is no food to eat, some maggots have begun to crawl out.
The medical officer swept away the maggots, checked the wounded, and reported to Chen Yiyao, who was looking strange next to him: "General, his fever is going down. It seems that there is no danger of life for the time being. The other wounded are also getting better.
Take you to have a look?"
From shock to doubt, and then to admiration for Zhu Yongxing in the face of the facts, he actively promoted maggot therapy in the military camp. Chen Yiyao saw this medical officer's attitude. He shook his head gently, signaled no need, and turned around
Walked out of the tent.
Reaching out to block the dazzling sunlight, Chen Yiyao saw his old superior, Huairen Hou Wu Zisheng, slowly walking around something in a thatched shed with his hands behind his back.
"I have met the Marquis." Chen Yiyao walked into the hut and saluted Wu Zisheng.
Wu Zisheng waved his hand, his eyes still staring at the hanging meat in the hay shed. There were already tiny maggots crawling around. He seemed to have adapted, and no longer had a cold look on his face.
"You said that such a little thing, which used to be a disgusting person crawling around in cesspools and latrines, could be raised in a different way, and it could heal injuries and save people." Wu Zisheng frowned and winked, not sure if he was sighing or still not believing it.
I just don’t want to mention the name maggot, so I’ll use a small thing instead.
"His Highness said that the things on this top have gained weight and fallen off, and they are still tonic!" Chen Yiyao suddenly had a grimace on his face, as if he had actually eaten some meat sprouts in his mouth, and shook his head repeatedly, "Well, what are you talking about?
High protein, His Highness seems to call it that."
"If you can't bear it, you and I will definitely not be able to bear it." Wu Zisheng waved his hands repeatedly and smiled bitterly.
Chen Yiyao laughed along for a while and asked tentatively: "I heard that Zhang Guangcui and Chen Sheng will lead their troops to set off tomorrow to join His Highness in Tengchong?"
Wu Zisheng nodded and said with a hint of sarcasm: "The second general is afraid that he will be late in surrendering, so why don't you flatter him too late?"
Chen Yiyao hesitated for a moment and then said: "His Royal Highness has been in Tengchong City for more than ten days, and Guangchang Marquis Gao Wengui and Dingshuo General Wu Sansheng have come to meet with their troops. The troops are getting stronger and stronger, and they seem to be willing to fight the Qing army."
"The army is just a little stronger." Wu Zisheng sighed and said with some worry: "Your Highness's divine guidance is not a lie. He is just young and energetic, eager to fight, but he can't help but be a little worried. He has been stationed in Tengchong for a long time and raised the royal flag.
By spreading the imperial edict, wouldn't it attract the attention of the Qing army? I'm afraid that the Qing army in Yongchang is making plans and preparations and will lead the army to come soon."
Chen Yiyao was silent for a long time and guessed: "If King Li Jin and King Gong Chang come upon hearing the news, or if other friendly troops come to join us, they may not be without the strength to fight."
"If Your Highness doesn't go south to join the Shanxi and Gong vassals, how would you know that you would send an urgent letter to summon him?" Wu Zisheng stroked his beard under his chin and frowned and said: "Your Highness's plan is very far-reaching, and it is beyond your and my knowledge. That's all, it's a big deal.
In a fierce battle, Your Highness has thousands of barbarian soldiers, plus the troops that have joined together, and they are also waiting for work. If the Qing army comes from a distance to attack, and there are not many troops, it may not be impossible to win. Tomorrow, we will also raise troops to go north to fight for
Your Highness can lend a helping hand."
……………
Chasing and escaping seem to be active and passive, but if analyzed objectively, you will find that both may be equally hard. It’s just that the fleeing party is too flustered to think about this, so he has no intention of stopping and striking back.

After Zhu Yongxing saw the difficult situation of Huairen Hou Wu Zisheng's headquarters, he had new thinking and judgment, and his confidence increased. The Nanming army had been stationed in Yunnan and Guangxi for several years, and it was still unable to fully adapt to the water and soil and effectively resist miasma.
What's more, the Qing army came from afar and entered the hot and humid land of the southeast for the first time? There are only a few words in the history books that mention that the Qing army was not accustomed to the water and soil, but did not indicate the severity. Just as the history books said that the Battle of Mopanshan was the defeat of the Ming army, but there were few
This shows that the Qing army also suffered heavy casualties.
This is the result of the Qing Dynasty destroying books and usurping history, covering up defeat into victory, talking only about the results and less about the losses. Based on his own observation and analysis, Zhu Yongxing should be said to have come to a more accurate conclusion, which is undoubtedly the reason for his high confidence.
location.
"The grass is sprouting and the miasma is getting worse. It is very difficult for the Kunming and Qing troops to march out in large numbers." Standing on the tower of the ancient city of Tengchong, Zhu Yongxing was analyzing the situation with Guangchang Marquis Gao Wengui and Dingshuo General Wu Sansheng and doing his own thing.
Judgment, "If we wait for the frost and miasma to subside before sending out troops, we are afraid that we will gather the remaining troops, gather together in one place, and be in great trouble. The quickest way is to send Yongchang Qing troops nearby to attack and eliminate them quickly."
"His Royal Highness is raising the royal flag here to lure the Qing army to attack." Dingshuo General Wu Sansheng looked surprised, and then cautiously admonished: "The Qing army in Yongchang has nearly ten thousand, and the attackers will definitely not be less than six.
Seven thousand people, we are all gathered by the remnants of the army, and it will take time to rest and recuperate. Although there are barbarian soldiers to help in the battle, they are not accustomed to fighting formations, so Your Highness should be careful."
"If we rely on the city to defend it, we still have a chance of success." Gao Wengui, the Marquis of Guangchang, patted the thick city wall and said his opinion, "The Qing army came from afar and has a long food road. If it cannot attack for a long time, it will naturally retreat."
