"Moreover, I support converting the Bazhai area back to its native land. How can any Yao people be willing to help me remove the poison?"
As soon as Zhang Ren said this, Gao Pingshi couldn't help but feel happy. It turns out that Zhang Ren is not a "using barbarians to control barbarians" faction, but a "reform the locals and return to locals" faction. This is great!
But the joy suddenly disappeared, because he suddenly remembered that Zhang Ren had just said that he only had more than two months left to live.
Gu insects and the like are completely beyond the scope of high-level pragmatic cognition - of course, he doesn't even know much about traditional Chinese medicine, and he is even more ignorant about the more mysterious Miao medicine, Yao medicine, and children's medicine. Correspondingly, he has no understanding of traditional Chinese medicine. Gu insects can only be thought of based on some legends heard and combined with basic medical thinking from previous lives.
This was also the source of his previous idea that the Gu worm might be some kind of parasite.
But the problem is, whether it is or is not, it doesn't make sense at the moment. The problem now is that no matter what the poison is, he can't help Zhang Ren "treat" it.
In other words, one can only trust the means and judgment of the two Miao girls. Zhang Ren can only live for more than two months.
But Gao Pragmatic always felt that it would be too cowardly for a dignified governor of a province to die like this, so he had to find a way.
He frowned and thought for a while, then asked: "Futai, Yao people and Han people cannot be distinguished by their appearance alone. In fact, as long as the Yao people wear Han people's clothes, they are no different from the Han people... Can you recall it? , did you see any strangers during the period when you may have been poisoned? Or in other words, did any strangers approach you?"
Zhang Ren had served in Pianyuan and as a governor in Guangxi for several years. He had already formed a habitual thinking about Miao people, Yao people, and children. In his eyes, except for some children chieftains in Guangxi because They are heavily Sinicized, so they often dress the same as Han people. Miao and Yao people both wear national costumes, so he lacks the pragmatic thinking to treat them.
In the era when Gao Qingshi traveled back in time, there were too many ethnic minorities who were completely the same as the Han people. As long as they didn't look at their ID cards, even the gods couldn't identify their ethnicity, so he didn't have Zhang Ren's inertial thinking, or rather , his habitual thinking is far different from Zhang Ren.
Therefore, after Gao Pragmatic asked this question, Zhang Ren thought for a moment and understood what he meant.
Zhang Ren suddenly began to ponder, frowned and thought for a while, and said slowly: "Although I have to meet many people every day, during the period when I was probably poisoned, if I saw any strangers, it was only three times. .”
Gao Pragmatic's eyes lit up. There were not many three times. He might be able to distinguish them by listening, so he immediately asked: "May I ask Futai, which three times were they? What strangers did they meet?"
Zhang Rendao: "The first time I went with Grandmaster Hu to inspect the newly completed Guangxi Gongyuan. During that time, I met many prefectures and counties to learn and teach."
Grandmaster Hu is Hu Chui who supervises the academic administration of Guangxi. He is certainly not a Yao who can cultivate poison. On the contrary, there is a good chance of cultivating poison. As for those prefectures and counties, Gao Pragmatic thinks it is impossible. Some chieftains among the children or There are quite a few noble people who are educated, with strong Chineseization, and even good knowledge. However, the Yao people... it is said that they can achieve correct learning in prefectures and counties, but even teaching is impossible, because they have always rejected Chineseization, so how can they be willing to read those books? The Four Books and Five Classics of Confucianism?
"It seems unlikely that there is someone here who can plant poison in Futai. I wonder who they were in the other two times?" Gao pragmatic shook his head and asked again.
Zhang Rendao: "The second time was when I met the envoy sent by Annan Dutongsi."
"Messenger from Annan?" Gao Pragmatic frowned and said, "What are they here for?"
Zhang Ren explained: "They came to report the recent national situation to the Ming Dynasty. They said that their Qian King Mo Jingdian was seriously ill, and they hoped to recruit famous doctors from the Ming Dynasty to Annan to diagnose and treat him."
He said, fearing that Gao Pragmatic would not understand the situation, he added: "In the early years of Jiajing, Annan was attacked by a large army sent by Shimiao because Mo Dengyong usurped the throne. As a result, Mo Dengyong decisively surrendered. Shimiao was kind and accepted it.
Please surrender and grant him the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Annan Capital. This post will be hereditary for his descendants. Annan's internal affairs will be under his management, but he will be under the control of Guangxi in name only.
At this time, the North-South confrontation in Annan was actually divided into two. The Mo family lived in the north, which can be called the Northern Dynasty. Internally, they still regarded themselves as one country, and Mo Jingdian was the most capable person in his country in the past ten years, so he took charge of
Military power, many campaigns against the Southern Dynasty, with great results. If Mo Jingdian died of illness, it would have a great impact on the Mo Dynasty, so he sent people to the Ming Dynasty to recruit famous doctors. However, before Gao Zhizhi pointed you to Guilin in the past two days, I heard that Mo Jingdian was still a doctor.
Died of illness."
Gao pragmatic thought for a while, it should be impossible for Annan Mochao to come to Guangxi to cause trouble when the prince in charge of the army was about to die of illness. After all, what benefit would killing a Guangxi governor do to them? There is really no difference between the two.
It's irrelevant, they probably have no motive to do this.
That was the last time left. Gao Jingshi took a deep breath and asked: "Although Mo Chao was canonized by me, it is actually a country of its own. It doesn't matter whether they can find Yao people who can grow poison to serve them.
In terms of motivation, they should not attack Futai without any reason."
Zhang Ren sighed and said: "The last time I met a stranger was with Zhijun."
Gao Pragmatic's eyes suddenly focused.
The commander of the army is the governor. The last time Zhang Ren met a stranger was when he met with Liu Yaojie.
Liu Yaojie was naturally not a stranger, Zhang Ren was definitely talking about the people around Liu Yaojie.
Gao Pingshi hurriedly asked Zhang Ren what was going on.
Zhang Ren sighed again and said: "The situation was like this..."
It turns out that not long after Liu Yaojie sent troops to quell the Bazhai Rebellion, he first contacted Zhang Ren through letters in Guangzhou, hoping that Zhang Ren would stick to Wang Shouren's policy of "using barbarians to control barbarians" and agree to establish a new administrative system in the Bazhai area.
Xincheng County was established, and a new chieftain was appointed to serve as the hereditary magistrate of Xincheng County and the soil inspection department of various soil inspection departments.
However, Zhang Ren did not agree with this idea after thinking about it. Zhang Ren felt that the Bazhai area was already relatively large. Even if it was only a new county in name, in fact, the territory controlled by many local prefectures was not as large as this new county. This
There is no difference at all from setting up a new Tuzhizhou.
Moreover, the policy of using barbarians to control barbarians in the Bazhai area seems to have failed so far. It is better to take advantage of the opportunity of the gathering of armies to simply change the situation and completely transform this area that has been in chaos for two hundred years into an area directly ruled by the imperial court.
In Zhang Ren's view, this was not only an opportunity to expand the scope of "direct rule" in Guangxi, but also a good time to frighten the chieftains in western Guangxi. Blind appeasement was not as effective as suppression and appeasement.
As a result, Liu Yaojie was offended. However, Liu Yaojie did not directly launch an attack or lose his temper. Instead, he came from Guangzhou in person, summoned the chief chieftains in western Guangxi to gather in Guilin, and invited Zhang Ren to meet him.
The name is to discuss whether Xincheng County should set up chieftains or appoint officials.
When someone came to visit, Zhang Ren naturally had to see him, so he went.
At this meeting, many chieftains gathered together, and they all brought their trusted subordinates with them. For Zhang Ren, it was natural that he met many strangers.
