"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 native land and return to local forces" faction. This is great.
But the joy disappeared in a flash, because he suddenly remembered that Zhang Ren just said that he only had more than two months to live.
Of course, he didn't even know much about traditional Chinese medicine, and he was even more confused and ignorant about the more mysterious Miao, Yao, and child doctors. Correspondingly, he could only think about Gu insects based on some legends he heard and combined with the basic medical thinking from his previous life.
This was also the source of his previous idea that Gu worms might be some kind of parasite.
But the problem is, whether it is or isn't, 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, Zhang Ren can only live for more than two months if he can only trust the methods and judgment of the two Miao girls.
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, the Yao people and the Han people cannot be distinguished by their appearance alone. In fact, as long as the Yao people wear Han people's clothes, they are basically the same as the Han people. Can you recall that if possible? During the time when you were poisoned, did you see any strangers or, in other words, did any strangers approach you?"
Zhang Ren had not only served in Pianyuan, but also as governor of Guangxi for several years, and he had already formed inertial thoughts about Miao, Yao and Tong people. In his eyes, except for some child chieftains in Guangxi who often dress the same as Han people because of their severe sinicization, the Miao and Yao people all wear national costumes, so he lacks a high pragmatic attitude towards them. This kind of thinking.
In the era when Gao Pragmatic 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, 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 and what strangers did they meet?"
"The first time Zhang Rendao went to the newly completed Guangxi Gongyuan with Master Hu was to inspect it. During that time, he met with many prefectures and counties to study and teach."
Master Hu is Hu Chui, the admiral of Guangxi's academic affairs. He is certainly not a Yao man who can cultivate voodoo, but he is quite promising for cultivating voodoo. As for those prefectures and counties, Gao Pragmatic thinks it is impossible. There are quite a few chieftains or nobles among the children. They are very Chinese and even have good knowledge. But the Yao people say that they can achieve the prefectures and counties. Even teaching is impossible because they have always refused to sinicize. How can they be willing to read 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 he met the envoy sent by Annan Dutongsi."
"Annan's envoy" Gao pragmatic frowned and asked, "What are they doing here?"
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."
As he spoke, he was afraid that Gao Pragmatic would not understand the situation, so 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 his request. After surrendering, he was granted the title of Commander-in-Chief of Annan, and his descendants inherited this position. Annan's internal affairs were all managed by him, and he was only nominally controlled by Guangxi.
At this time, Annan was facing a confrontation between the north and the south, and it was actually divided into two. The Mo family lived in the north, which can be called the Northern Dynasty. They still regarded themselves as one country internally, and Mo Jingdian was the most capable warrior in his country in the past ten years. He then took over the military power and launched many campaigns against the Southern Dynasties with considerable 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 Zhizhizhi arrived in Guilin two days ago, I heard that Mo Jingdian still died of illness. "
Gao pragmatic thought for a while, it should be impossible for Annan and 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 good would it do them to kill a Guangxi governor? There is really nothing between the two. Correlation, they should have no motive to do this.
That was the last time left. Gao Pragmatic took a deep breath and asked, "Although the Mo Dynasty was canonized by me, it actually became its own country. It doesn't matter whether they can find Yao people who can grow poison to serve them. Just follow 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 Liu Yaojie.
Liu Yaojie was naturally not a stranger, Zhang Ren was definitely talking about the people around Liu Yaojie.
Gao pragmatically asked Zhang Ren what was going on.
Zhang Ren sighed again and said, "This was the situation at that time."
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 his establishment of 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 now. 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 is 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 is not as effective as suppression and appeasement.
As a result, Liu Yaojie was offended. However, Liu Yaojie did not directly launch an attack or get angry. Instead, he came from Guangzhou in person, summoned the chief chieftains in western Guangxi to gather in Guilin, and invited Zhang Ren to meet. It 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.
Many chieftains gathered at this meeting, and they all brought their trusted subordinates with them. For Zhang Ren, it was natural that he met many strangers.
