In February of the twelfth year of Wanli, Zou Yuanbiao and Luo Yuren finally arrived in Maodanmian, Myanmar, and temporarily stayed in a temporary camp built by refugees hired by the Ming army, instead of suffering from the fatigue of traveling.
But along the way, Luo Yuren shed tears every day.
Zou Yuanbiao was better, but his desire for literary creation was overwhelming, and he wrote hundreds of poems for his parents, wife, children, nephews, nephews, and even those who studied in the same year.
After Mao Danmian, Zou Yuanbiao stopped creating, and Luo Yuren stopped crying.
When Zou Yuanbiao came to Maodanmian, what he saw was naturally devastated, with fireworks everywhere, bloodstains everywhere, and even the sound of crying babies everywhere.
but.
Zou Yuanbiao took the initiative to ignore the traces of broken civilization he saw. He only looked at the cultivated land in the river valley and said with a smile: "It's really a fertile field, perfect for polders! The key is that it is so warm in early spring and February. There must be no winter." , maybe it can produce three crops of rice a year and feed countless people.”
The so-called polder is an advanced farming technology in the south of the Yangtze River, which originated in the Southern Song Dynasty. Here, Zou Yuanbiao thought of using the better farming civilization of China to develop this place.
Luo Yuren also glanced at Zou Yuanbiao at this time and asked: "What do you mean by Yi Enfu?"
"Since His Majesty asked us to promote benevolence, let's promote benevolence and save people first!"
As Zou Yuanbiao spoke, he followed the new crying baby and suddenly saw a baby sitting on the ground in the forest near the river valley. Beside him, there were several young Burmese and Yi people wearing bows lying dead on the ground.
Zou Yuanbiao picked up the baby and shed tears of kindness: "It's so pitiful. Let the accompanying servants make some rice soup!"
"Master Zou!"
"I, Yang Hao, the imperial censor of Shanxi Province in the Imperial Procuratorate, named Jingfu, was a Jinshi scholar in the eighth year of Wanli reign. I wonder how many babies he has taken in?"
On this day, Yang Hao brought a group of Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers with armbands with the word "medical" on their sleeves to Mao Danmian to meet Zou Yuanbiao.
When Yang Hao came to Zou Yuanbiao's place, he saw that Zou Yuanbiao had set up a nursery here and was feeding rice soup to a group of babies.
"Twenty-six, including six children who are old enough to walk, are already learning the Three Character Classic from Yizhong."
Zou Yuanbiao replied.
After hearing this, Yang Hao nodded, and then said: "General Li has led his army to raid Dongwu. I can't come to see you in person, so I have to come to see you. You and I are both civil servants, so it's easier to talk."
"Because the courier who came with the Duke said that in accordance with the imperial edict, it was the Duke who stayed in Burma for a long time and civilized the local people, so the Han people and the local girls who were infected with the miasma were rescued by the army from Burma and were treated by you. They have been It’s been quarantined, you send someone over!”
"miasma?"
Luo Yuren, who was standing aside, couldn't help but be startled after hearing this.
Zou Yuanbiao asked Yang Hao: "How many doctors need to be sent there?"
Yang Hao thought for a while and said: "There must be at least twenty. As for escorting these doctors, I will personally send soldiers infected with the miasma to escort them."
As Zou Yuanbiao spoke, he ordered Luo Yuren: "Yizhong, you bring twenty medical men over."
"Enfu!"
Luo Yuren couldn't help but scream.
Zou Yuanbiao shouted sternly: "What are you afraid of! If you come here, you will get miasma sooner or later. If you can make meritorious deeds, you can leave here. If you can't, you will stay here until you die in a foreign land!"
After hearing this, Luo Yuren held back his tears, then raised his hands and said yes.
It turns out that Zhu Yijun had already ordered the Privy Council to formulate a series of epidemic prevention management regulations for the military during the war.
According to regulations, if you meet Han compatriots and local natives outside to seek refuge, they must first be quarantined in a centralized manner.
Therefore, when Dong Jiachen brought a dozen young and beautiful Burmese and Yi women to meet the Ming army, they were forcibly isolated first.
This also meant that Dong Jiachen and the Burmese and Yi women he brought with him only came into contact with the Ming army in the centralized isolation area when their symptoms developed to the point where they could no longer hide them.
Dong Jiachen was quite disappointed with this.
But what made Dong Jiachen even more surprised was that when he was so sick that he could feel hot and cold all over and could not move, an official came with dozens of medical officers and began to treat him and the Burmese and Yi women instead of removing them. Lose.
This official is Luo Yuren.
Gradually, Dong Jiachen became familiar with Luo Yuren because he was a famous scholar, and he asked:
"Why does the court want to treat us?"
"Of course His Majesty is kind!"
Luo Yuren replied.
Dong Jiachen said: "Is it possible to save him? Miasma diseases have always been difficult to cure."
"I don't know!"
"It's just time to try it on you, but I heard that some people in the army were infected with miasma, and many of them were saved by the cinchona cream made by Concubine Yang. If there were those who couldn't be saved by cinchona cream, use the "Elbow Backup Emergency Recipe" Rescue is also effective.”
"The medicine of this dynasty is still extensive and profound. What is even more rare is that His Majesty also attaches great importance to this way of saving people and actually encourages Concubine Yang, who is a doctor, to develop new medicines."
Luo Yuren replied.
After hearing this, Dong Jiachen was both disappointed and happy. He was disappointed that the Ming army seemed to have a special medicine for treating miasma, or two kinds of medicine; but he was happy that he seemed to be able to survive on this medicine.
A few days later, Dong Jiachen's condition improved greatly by taking Cinchona cream, and he no longer had hot and cold symptoms.
Therefore, Dong Jiachen was more interested in the Ming army's special medicine.
Therefore, while he was away, he said to Mang Yingping, a Burmese and barbarian noblewoman who was ordered to accompany him to infect the Ming army:
"I will find a way to get you out of here. When you go back, you must inform the king. It means that the country has mastered the magic medicine to cure miasma!"
"I will find a way to return to the Ming Dynasty and spend a lot of money to sneak into the palace and become an eunuch. When the time comes, I will do my best to get the formula of this medicine for the king to help the king regain his hegemony in the future!"
Mang Yingping nodded after hearing this.
Just in time.
A few days later, Luo Yuren came to Dong Jiachen and asked, "Is Dong Xiaoyou really cured?"
Dong Jiachen said: "Thanks to Lord Bo for caring about me, I have indeed recovered."
Luo Yuren then asked the medical officers about the Burmese and Yi girls who were isolated in single rooms with Dong Jiachen: "Where are these Yi girls?"
Dong Jiachen replied on behalf of the medical officers: "They are all cured as well."
The medical officers also checked the pulse at this time and said: "Everyone is indeed cured."
Luo Yuren nodded after hearing this.
Dong Jiachen asked Luo Yuren at this time: "May I ask how the court plans to deal with these barbarian girls?"
"These don't seem to have bloomed geraniums. They are taught to learn Chinese, learn Chinese rituals, and recognize Chinese characters first. When they grow up, they are assigned to be wives of the refugees who moved here."
Luo Yurendao.
"No!"
Dong Jiachen shouted hurriedly. He was a little afraid that these Yi girls would tell him his origin because they could speak Chinese.
Luo Yuren then asked Dong Jiachen: "What's wrong?"
"this……"
At the same time, Mang Yingping, who had been educated by Dong Jiachen in Chinese studies, walked down from the hospital bed, knelt down in front of Luo Yuren and said:
"Thank you for saving us. We were actually sent by them to infect you with miasma on purpose!"
"But fortunately you were very careful, so you only isolated us without killing us, and saved us. Although I know that you saved us to rule here, we are willing to let you rule here because the king here is too Don’t treat us as human beings!”
"If we hadn't been used as people to infect you, we would have been directly burned to death by his people!"
"But he is not as kind as your emperor. He does not want to burn people to death for those suffering from miasma, but to develop magic medicine. Therefore, we are willing to let such an emperor rule us, and we are also willing to expose him and his treacherous ministers. conspiracy!"
As he spoke, Mang Yingping pointed at Dong Jiachen: "He is actually Uncle Wang's left prime minister and your traitor. It was he who encouraged Uncle Wang to plot your empire. Fortunately, it is you who have destroyed my uncle Wang's empire and my king." Uncle, this heartless and unjust tyrant, finally learned his lesson."
Dong Jiachen was stunned on the spot.
Luo Yuren laughed, turned back to look at the several Jin Yiwei officers who also walked in and said, "As expected! It seems that the Jin Yiwei didn't come to arrest anyone."
