Ma Fang and Liu Xian, the two veterans from the north and the south, have 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 old 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 more serious rheumatism, and although their physical condition can be said to be excellent, 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 emerged. 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'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. It is affected by several conditions and is 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 it was just a little pain and not worth mentioning. But according to people close to him, General Liu's joints were extremely swollen when he became ill. Sometimes his entire knees or arms would be red, and blood stasis could be seen under the skin. Anyone who has suffered from rheumatism knows how painful it is.
It's just that the old general was stubborn. Even though he was sweating in pain, he still had an expressionless face. When asked, he only said, "I can't die."
Fortunately, there was a slight turning point this time. When Gao Pragmatic talked with Li Shizhen this time, 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 art of voodoo was indeed created to treat diseases at the beginning. It can be seen 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 arts 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 she is more inclined to study saving people rather 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 Jiao'er talk about his employer's arrangement in Annan and what he asked him to do in Yunnan." Some preparations, it seems..."
He paused, looked at Gao Pragmatic, and asked, "Do you think 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 intentions. 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 has now caused two major problems. One is that the Ming Dynasty's treasury suddenly became very short of money; the other is that under such a shortage of money, it still has to continue to think of ways to increase Large investments were made in northern Xinjiang, especially in 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, while the others probably only regarded it as ringworm and scabies. In the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, "southern barbarian tribes" such as Burma, even if there was a real 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, most of them will choose to temporarily give in 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 quarrel without permission, which might lead to death. However, in the Ming Dynasty, almost all the border ministers had the right to "shoot and defend", especially He is a civil servant and a border minister.
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, it seems that no civil servants who did similar things were held accountable to death. Including Zeng Mian in the past, who seemed to have died because he wanted to regain the Loop. In fact, the deep-seated root of that incident lay in the fighting 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 be "late but arrived", and Liu Xian's reminder is still very meaningful.
After he thanked Liu Xian, he smiled at the two old generals and said, "I am going to Liaonan on this trip. I may face war after a while. Then I may need to ask the two old generals to help me. I hope that the two old generals will be able to help me." Shuai, take care of yourself..."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xian just raised his eyebrows, and Ma Fang was already overjoyed: "There is still a war in Liaodong. That would be great. I am an old man who is very mean. He gets itchy when he is idle. He is short of a few Tatars." Let me practice my skills! When the time comes, my boss must send someone to find me in time!"
Gao Pragmatic laughed loudly and said, "Definitely, definitely."
