Ma Fang, Liu Xian, and the two veterans from the north and the south have all been blessed by Gao Pragmatism in this time and space, and they have performed quite healthy so far. What you need to know is that in the original history, these two veterans
But they all died of illness last year.
Now under the high pragmatic requirements, the two veteran generals will return to the capital every quarter to see Xinzhai for a physical examination. The process is that at the beginning, the students brought out by Li Shizhen are responsible for individual physical examinations, and finally
Li Shizhen will then personally conduct a comprehensive re-examination - this process is basically the same as the physical examination of Zhang Siwei and other important real school officials in Beijing.
When Gao Pragmatic came to visit the two of them, the two veteran generals had just finished their "Xia Cha", and their physical performance was basically good.
However, according to Li Shizhen, Ma Fang suffers from gout to a certain extent, while Liu Xian suffers from relatively severe rheumatism. Although they both have excellent physical health, after all, they are older and these chronic diseases need to be treated slowly.
Gao Pragmatic can understand that these two diseases appear in them. Ma Fang was plundered by the Mongols and moved to the grassland in his early years, but he quickly rose to prominence. He has a greasy diet all year round and likes to eat the offal of cattle and sheep. The probability of gout is certain.
It's on the high side.
However, his gout was different from Zhu Yijun's "foot disease" - which was also caused by gout. Half of Zhu Yijun's foot disease was caused by diet and the other half was from staying at home, while Ma Fang obviously did not stay at home.
So when Li Shizhen personally prescribed the recipe for Ma Fang in accordance with Gao Jingshi's request, Ma Fang's gout had been greatly improved. The only trouble was that when he saw Gao Jingshi, he immediately stepped forward and took his hand to pour out the pain.
He said, "That damn recipe is even more ruthless than a Tatar's knife. I feel like I'm going to feel like a bird in my mouth!"
Apart from laughing, Gao Pragmatic could only offer gentle words of comfort.
As for Liu Xian's rheumatism, this is very complicated. Li Shizhen's explanation was very pragmatic and I didn't fully understand it, but the general meaning is that there are many possibilities for causing rheumatism, and Liu Xian's rheumatism is affected by superficial symptoms alone.
The effects of several conditions are quite troublesome to treat. Currently, treatment is mainly based on controlling the probability of onset and the degree of pain during the onset.
Liu Xian himself was quite open-minded about this, saying that it was just a little pain and not worth mentioning. However, according to people around him, when General Liu became ill, his joints swelled greatly, and sometimes his entire knee or arm became red, which was visible to the naked eye under the skin.
You can see blood stasis, and anyone who has had rheumatism knows how painful it is.
It's just that the old general was stubborn. Even though he was sweating in pain, his face remained expressionless. When asked, he only said, "I can't die."
Fortunately, there was a slight turning point this time. When Gao Pragmatic was talking to Li Shizhen, he told Li Shizhen all kinds of experiences related to medical skills and Gu magic while in Guangxi.
Li Shizhen said that Miss Ali was very insightful. The voodoo technique itself was indeed created to treat diseases at the beginning. It can be regarded as the origin of the medical skills of the Miao, Yao and other ethnic groups. However, after blending with the witch culture, some of the voodoo techniques gradually disappeared.
Went in the opposite direction.
But Li Shizhen also told Gao pragmatically that even though voodoo has many harmful uses now, it is just like people who know medical skills must also know how to use poison. Just because it can harm people, it cannot be thought that it can only harm people.
, just as a knife can kill people, it can also save people. The key lies in who is using it and how to use it.
One thing that was helpful to Liu Xian in the conversation between Gao Jingshi and Li Shizhen was that Li Shizhen mentioned that the southwest has the most damp miasma, and most people who are proficient in Miao Gu and Yao Gu have special effects on diseases such as rheumatism.
Technique.
Li Shizhen said that since the girl Ah Li is the descendant of the grass ghost grandmother and is more inclined to study saving people than harming them, she will most likely master the special method of treating rheumatism.
This news made Gao Jingshi very happy, and he wrote a letter to Annan and sent it to Huang Zhiting - Gao Jingshi himself could not contact the elusive descendant of Guicao Taipo, but he knew that Huang Zhiting could definitely find it if she was willing.
Fortunately, this gave Huang Zhiting another reason to go north.
After Gao pragmatically told Liu Xian about this matter, Liu Xian's train of thought seemed to "go astray". He frowned and thought, "I heard from Jiao'er about his employer's arrangement in Annan and how he was asked to stay in Yunnan."
Some of the preparations made seem..."
He paused, looked at Gao Pragmatic, and asked: "My boss thinks there will be war in Yunnan? If this is the case, I would recommend that a talented person like Miss Ali can contribute to this war."
Gao Pragmatic can understand Liu Xian's intention. If the war takes place in a place related to Yunnan and Annan, it can almost only be Burma. And fighting in Burma is almost a tropical jungle war. Shit miasma is inevitable. If there is
Top professionals like Miss Ali control the medical treatment of Dajun, so even if there is any epidemic, it can be controlled to the greatest extent.
But something has changed in this matter now, and the war in Burma may have to be delayed.
This change was not due to anything else but to his high pragmatism.
The Battle of Monan greatly advanced the Ming Dynasty's national policy towards Mongolia. As a result, it now caused two major problems: First, the Ming Dynasty's treasury suddenly became very short of money; second, under such a shortage of money, it still had to continue to think of ways.
Increase investment in northern Xinjiang, especially Jiliao.
After all, in the thinking of the entire Ming Dynasty, Mongolia has always been the number one enemy, and there is no one.
For the rest, such as Jurchens, perhaps only Gao Pragmatic regarded it as a major hidden danger, and the others probably only regarded it as ringworm and scabies. In the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, "small southern barbarian tribes" such as Burma, even if there was a fight,
It's probably at the level of a chieftain's rebellion. It's not even as important as Annan. It's hard to say how much they care about it.
Therefore, after the Battle of Monan, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to agree to launch a "preventive war" against Myanmar now. Even in the face of Myanmar's active provocation, they will most likely choose to give in temporarily or let Yunnan handle it on its own -
This is what is called "camera fighting and guarding".
This is a completely different point between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty: in the Qing Dynasty, it was a serious crime to start a border provocation without permission, and you might be killed, but in the Ming Dynasty, almost all the border ministers had the right to "came and fight".
Especially the civilian officials and border ministers.
For example, Gao Jingshi, the Minister of Yuanmasi in Liaodong, if there is a problem in Liaonan, he can decide the battle and defense in Liaonan without having to ask for instructions and report first. This has been made clear when Gao Jingshi's powers and responsibilities were mentioned before.
.
What's even more exaggerated is that if he feels that Liaonan's security is threatened by other neighboring countries or ethnic groups, he can even take the initiative to take precautions before it happens. However, this approach involves a slight risk - if he loses,
You may still be held accountable.
But even so, before the Chongzhen Dynasty, no civil servants who did similar things seemed to be held accountable to death. Including the former Zeng Mian, who seemed to have died because he wanted to regain the Loop. In fact, the deep-seated root of that incident was
In the battle between Yan Song and Xia Yan, Zeng Mian was just used as a flag sacrifice.
Of course, in Gao Pragmatic's view, the battle in southern Xinjiang will definitely come "late but late", and Liu Xian's reminder is still very meaningful.
After he thanked Liu Xian, he smiled at the two old generals and said: "Wansheng is going to Liaonan on this trip. Maybe we will face war after a while. At that time, we may need to ask the two old generals to help. I hope you two
Take good care of yourself, handsome..."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xian just raised his eyebrows, but Ma Fang was already overjoyed: "There is still a war in Liaodong, that would be great, I am such a mean old man, I get so itchy when I have no time, I am missing a few
Tatar is practicing! My boss must send someone to find me in time!"
Gao Pragmatic laughed loudly and said: "Definitely, definitely."
