Quinine is the cure.

Although the side effects are great, during the course of medication, there are symptoms of tinnitus, vision loss, vomiting and even coma, but its biggest effect is quick results.

The quinine extracted by Fang Jifan is naturally far less effective than later generations.

But in this era, there is also an advantage.

That is, the people of this era are not like the people of later generations, because they rely on the treatment of modern medicine and have high drug resistance in their bodies.

Fang Jinglong, for example, has almost no drug resistance in his body. Therefore, the first quinine will take effect especially quickly after he eats it.

At this time, the high fever has subsided, although I still feel that my vision and hearing are a little weak, and I still need to recover slowly, my stomach is empty, and after eating a bowl of porridge, my whole body suddenly regains my strength.

The feeling of recovering from a serious illness made him feel like a new life, and made him feel extraordinarily good.

Fang Jinglong hurriedly said: "Where are Jifan's letters, show me."

Mrs. Liu was busy taking the letter for him.

Fang Jinglong glanced at it, and immediately said: "From now on, immediately order people to bury the puddles in the military camp that are easy to nourish mosquitoes, and then order people to prepare mosquito-repelling grass, caterpillar fungus, ageratum, violets, impatiens, seven-lixiang, For repellents such as evening primrose, mosquitoes must be kept out of every tent and every camp. Those who can use the nets must prepare mosquito nets when they sleep. If they cannot, the soldiers should wear thicker clothes to prevent mosquitoes. "

It was not until hundreds of years later that people realized that malaria was transmitted by mosquitoes.

In fact, people do not have much awareness of mosquito-borne diseases.

In Yunnan, Guizhou and other places, the reason why malaria is prevalent is essentially because it is located in a humid place with a lot of mosquitoes. Since Fang Jifan's medicine has had miraculous effects, this shows that his method of epidemic prevention must be effective.

Fang Jinglong said again: "Order people to collect Artemisia annua everywhere, mix the Artemisia annua with water, and treat the soldiers who have the disease; if they are seriously ill, distribute the medicine sent by Ji Fan, all camps in Guizhou need to do this …Besides, if there are overgrown weeds around the camps, order people to clean up the nearby weeds, and order people to take lime and scatter the ground to prevent the weeds from regrowing. The whole army and every battalion must take action.”

Miraculously, he didn't need Mrs. Liu's support. He stood up and looked up at the other wounded and sick in the tent. The wounded and sick looked at Fang Jinglong in surprise. It was hot red, reached out and touched his forehead, and said firmly: "Don't worry, the imperial court sent you here. The old man is here in Guizhou for a day. If the old man can live, you will not die. Even if you die, you will not die." I will be knocked down by the epidemic." Fang Jinglong said brightly: "My son, the medicine is here, the magic medicine is here."

A glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in the eyes of the desperate soldiers.

Someone cried bitterly: "Thank you, Lord Hou."

Fang Jinglong thought of something again: "Use a fast horse to inform Yunnan and Guangxi immediately, and tell them the method of epidemic prevention. Jifan brought 300 catties of medicine, which is enough. We will bring 50 catties to each of these two places. We in Guizhou , Tighten your belt, support as much as you can, Yunnan and Guangxi are also plagued by epidemics, and they are all Paoze brothers, right now, it is best to save people."

Ping Xihou, who was seriously ill, recovered like a miracle.

It just happened overnight.

Those who are not sick need to be immunized against malaria, and those who are infected can be treated with Artemisia annua water. Although the curative effect of Artemisia annua water is not good, it still has some effects, and some people can get through it with this. But if you are seriously ill, there are still special medicines for severe illness.

When the news came out, the army's morale was settled, all the troops and horses in Guizhou, and the Qianhu Office of the Seven Guards and Thirty-nine Roads immediately began to take action, eradicating weeds, filling up puddles, cleaning the camp, and spreading lime in many corners, and a large number of people Artemisia annua was collected and given to the soldiers to drink.

Severely ill soldiers were given quinine.

Up and down, all the battalions in the army, which were originally mourning, suddenly cheered up.

Although Fang Jinglong had just recovered from a serious illness, he still insisted on going to the camps to inspect in person. When the quinine miraculously relieved the high fever of each seriously ill patient, people's hearts were completely settled, even if they were infected with People who suffer from the epidemic no longer feel hopeless.

In addition, some native villages were also infected with the disease. The guards began to convey the order of Pingxi Hou to investigate the situation of the native villages and distribute some medicines for treatment.

Today, the villages of the local people, after the original Tuntian school captains moved in and taught them to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes, these villages in the mountains and forests are often dissatisfied with the Han regime because of poverty, but the school captains made them On the barren land, food grows, and the contradictions between the natives and the Han have been greatly reduced. In almost every village, the Tuntian Xiaowei and Lishi stationed in the village are almost all except the village elders. The most respected people, the school captains are not only responsible for guiding farming, but also teaching people to read and write, and learn some simple Chinese.

Coupled with the fact that Mrs. Liu married Pingxi Hou, the natives no longer feel disgusted with Pingxi Hou's mansion.

Now, the Pingxihou's Mansion started to deliver medicine again, and the natives did not suspect that this was a trick of the Han people. Usually, Pingxihou's orders were first conveyed to the Tuntian Xiaowei and Lishi stationed in the village, and then the Lishi and the Xiaowei were summoned. The villagers in this village announced and discussed the method of epidemic prevention, and then the other villages also began to take action. Although the disease did less harm to the natives, there were many cases of death due to malaria. Some serious illnesses are also dying. With this medicine, the high fever subsides, and the rescued people, even if they have not learned etiquette, morality, and shame, are still alive.

There is a natural mentality of repaying gratitude.

In the hearts of the natives, perhaps they may not be completely convinced by the Ming court.

But for Pingxihou, and for the Tuntian Xiaowei and Lishi in this village, they admire and are grateful.

In almost every cottage, Lishi and Xiaowei are almost like tribunes stationed in the cottage. Through these captains, many cottages have begun to be Sinicized, and they have come into contact with the culture of the Han people. A group of outstanding people have begun to recognize After learning Chinese characters, he can speak some simple Mandarin; also through these captains and warriors, the Pingxi Hou Mansion has mastered the household registration information of each village, how many people there are in the cottage, and how many fields there are. The yellow book, and this yellow book is the guarantee for ruling the natives.

Reforming the land and returning it to the local people is by no means as simple as sending Han officials. If you don’t control the population, and don’t have enough convincing power at the grassroots level, blindly high-pressure will only lead to rebellions again and again.

Snapper.

On Emperor Hongzhi's desk were dozens of impeachment memorials.

Most of these memorials were dissatisfied with the princess marrying Fang Jifan.

They believe that this breaks the tradition and increases the hidden danger of foreign relatives interfering in politics.

However, because of the cabinet's tacit attitude towards this matter, coupled with Ping Xihou's serious illness, His Majesty has issued a decree and announced to the world that it is a done deal. Although such opposition exists, it is not as intense as imagined.

What's more, the prince's big wedding and the successors in the Eastern Palace made the court a little more happy, but not many people came to touch this bad luck.

After all, what worries the monarchs and ministers now is the great epidemic in the southwest.

Nine years ago, there was also a major epidemic that claimed the lives of more than 40,000 people, and there were countless other patients.

At the same time, the weakness of the Han army led to rebellion, and a large number of Han people left their homes and fled everywhere.

Such an epidemic shakes the foundation of Ming Dynasty for the southwestern provinces.

It's not as simple as tens of thousands of casualties.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, sitting behind the desk, while Ma Wensheng looked at Emperor Hongzhi cautiously. He was the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and he was holding an urgent report from Yunnan: "There are countless infected people in Yunnan, and many of them are infected. For Yunnan Zhuwei, Simaowei, because of this, there was a mutiny in the army, thousands of people abandoned the camp and fled everywhere. Today, the death of more than a thousand people is very critical. The Political Commissioner was helpless about this; while the Yunnan Chief Political Commissioner impeached Mu Kun, Duke of Guizhou. He escaped. Also... the generals of the guards, there are many fugitives. I heard that there was a guard commander who was not in office. After the epidemic broke out, he went away..."

Emperor Hongzhi said sharply: "That's enough, don't read it anymore."

These reports made Emperor Hongzhi very angry.

For this reason, Yunnan alone has suffered heavy casualties, which is not important. From the government of Qianguo, to the chief envoy, and then to the middle officials, they fled, hid, and stared blankly. Everyone has nothing to do, but they impeach and attack each other. Obviously, they all want to shift the responsibility to others.

Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: "The epidemic is indeed terrible, but why should everyone be so frightened?"

Liu Jian and the others smiled wryly in their hearts. This disease is really frightening. This thing cannot be seen or touched. People in the army may not be afraid to fight in battle. After all, the enemy is right in front of them and they can be seen.

Xie Qian said at this time: "Your Majesty, here is another report from Guizhou patrolling Wu Chengye."

Standing in the warm pavilion, the cabinet scholars, various ministers, and ministers from Honglu Temple, Dali Temple, etc., all looked dull. This report from Guizhou is probably not much better.

Emperor Hongzhi had a thought: "What I know is that Ping Xihou was infected with the disease, how is it now?"

"The situation is very bad." Xie Qian said worriedly: "Judging from the report, it has reached the point of being blinded by illness. The high fever persists for days, and the vomiting continues. Yes, but..."

Xie Qian took a deep look at Emperor Hongzhi: "But Pingxi Hou has been patrolling the camps these days, dragging the sick body, and comforting the guards."

The fortieth alliance leader "Sleepy Chi Yu" was born. I would like to express my gratitude. Because of you, the tiger feels warm in this cold weather. With this warm and happy code, thank you, thank you.
