Chapter 15 Destruction at sunset
"Also, don't drink blackened or dirty water immediately. Aijia will teach you how to make blackened water drinkable."

"Drinking boiled water can turn blackened and dirty water into clearer water. This is something I have never seen or heard of," Prince Li said.

"I have never heard that this method can prevent epidemic diseases." Prince Su said.

"Mother, can this method really prevent the plague?" the eldest prince asked.

"It can indeed prevent the plague." Liang Meng said.

With the filtration knowledge that Liang Meng has mastered in modern times, purifying water is no big deal.

"Ai Jia hasn't finished talking yet. Since ancient times, anyone who comes into contact with the plague will get the plague. Ai Jia then thought that if there is a plague person in the military camp, they should be placed in a separate place, and doctors should go to treat them. Soldiers should be sent around to guard them. , to prevent plague victims from fleeing everywhere because of fear of death, causing more people to be burdened by the plague."Liang Mengdao.

"What the Queen Mother said is absolutely true." Prince Li said.

"The queen is wise," the eldest prince said.

Prince Su nodded.

"The Aijia felt that it was inappropriate for our Daikin soldiers to use the toilet at will after being in the military camp for a few days. From today on, they built special toilets for the soldiers to use, and sent special personnel to clean up the feces in our army every day. If someone is found using the toilet casually, the person who found him will clean up until the next person."

Everyone seemed unusually puzzled as to why they did this, but they did not stop them. They first listened to what the Queen Mother said next.

"It is said that soldiers eat and sleep in the open, bathe and wash themselves with natural water, and live with fleas and rats. The Ai family has never seen them in the palace for a long time, but after visiting the Dajin Military Camp for several months, I don't think it is really like this. I feel that the soldiers are serving the country and being loyal to the country. But the Ai family couldn't bear it, so they sent an order to the Ai family that the hair of all men in the army should be cut short, no longer than the ears, and they should take a bath every three days on weekdays, except during wartime."

In the Dajin Dynasty, a dynasty that had just experienced a hundred years of war, it valued generals and its culture was basically unsystematic. The people of Dajin did not understand the writing of Dajin, and the culture was very rough.

The Sunset Dynasty has experienced hundreds of years of peace. It is precisely because of peace that military generals were recommended and appointed. The founding generals have long been buried deep in the loess. In the peaceful dynasty, there was no war. The military generals had no place to use them. The imperial court was not the same as the Jin Dynasty. What is presented is the complete opposite situation. The status of civil servants in the Sunset Dynasty is much greater than that of military generals. The strong status of civil servants leads to the strength of the cultural system.

If civil servants are selected by recommendation, aristocratic families will become more and more powerful in peaceful times. What's more, the family's wealth will rival that of the country.

In the Sunset Dynasty, the ideological tradition of Confucian culture was formed.

The Dajin Dynasty was not deeply influenced by the Confucian culture of fathers and sons, kings and ministers, the king is the guide for the ministers, and the husband is the guide for the wife. Therefore, the body and skin, and the thoughts of their parents did not exist. At this time, let them There is no huge obstacle to cutting your hair into a modern men's short hair.

Liang Mengqi asked, why is there culture and what is a country?What is a nation?

The Xiongnu whom Qin attacked were the ancestors of the Mongols, but aren't we now members of the same country?

Why are there unified multi-ethnic countries in modern times?

The Sunset Dynasty always said that Dajin is a Jinyi people, so why are they not of my race, and what are they of my race?

Is it blood?Is it the region?It seems to be, but it seems not to be.

In Liang Meng's view, the differences between different countries and ethnic groups are not just geographical or bloodline.It is culture, customs, traditions, and the same culture that ultimately makes us a country and a nation.

The Qin State unified the world, with the same writing style, the same chariot track, unified weights and measures, respecting Legalism, and rejecting hundreds of other schools of thought, eliminating all the states; the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism and dismissed hundreds of schools, Zhaojun went out of the country to marry, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty Hanized it, and the Qing Dynasty Manchu-Han After the integration of Mongolia and Confucianism, modern society no longer calls you a foreigner. Is it just because of the millennium of time?The answer is not, but a unified culture. Unified integration makes us one country, a multi-ethnic country, and brings us together.

During World War II, Japan tried to establish the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere and the Yamato Nation by learning Japanese, wearing kimonos, and slogans, hoping to rule China through cultural unification.

The Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty tried to unify their hair and serve to assimilate the Han people, but they were eventually assimilated by the Han people, because the Han culture (Confucian culture) has been large and detailed in the thousand-year system. The culture of the Yuan Dynasty and Qing Dynasty was extensive and could not assimilate the Han people.

A unified culture allows us to rise up and resist when facing enemies, because those who are not of my race must have different hearts.

The huge population of the Han nationality and the huge population of the six countries faced resistance from different cultural groups. This may be the real reason why the Qin Dynasty fell, the Yuan Dynasty failed, and the Japanese plan to subjugate China went bankrupt.

Culture (ideology) is powerful, so Western countries have a long history of religious rule; religion controls thought and is attacked by rulers; to prevent the invasion of other countries' cultures, the country's rulers actually rule by political parties. It is better to be like this. This is really the case. The important affairs of the country are sacrifice and military affairs.

Liang Meng thought in his heart.Between Daijin and Sunset, Daijin's culture is too rugged, and the population that has gone through hundreds of years of war is far less than Sunset, which is at the end of the historical cycle and has a population expansion.

Liang Meng made the right choice for the rule after Dai Jin. He must make Dai Jin a unified multi-ethnic country.

Just like at the end of the Qing Dynasty, people mainly studied Western advanced scientific knowledge and technology rather than ideas (culture here refers to freedom, natural rights, human rights, habits, etc.) and why did our country finally follow its own path?Why do companies need to talk about corporate culture?Why talk about traditional culture?Might as well be.

When everyone heard that they wanted to cut their hair, they felt that there was no reason to resist.

"It's a good haircut. It's really uncomfortable to have fleas in your hair." The eldest prince said.

Prince Su and Prince Li also nodded.

"In the army, all soldiers must wear a piece of white cloth in front of their mouth and nose." Liang Mengdao.

"It's too strange to wear white cloth." The eldest prince objected.

"The Ai family thinks that maybe the evil spirit of the plague entered through the mouth and nose." Liang Meng said.

"Well, then, let's wear it. The whole army should wear it." The eldest prince said.

Liang Meng laughed triumphantly in his heart.

"In the military camp, mugwort must be burned constantly and wine sprinkled on it." Liang Meng said.

"Can wine get rid of evil spirits?" Prince Su asked.

Since the wine of this era did not know the method of distillation, the concentration of the wine was very low and had little effect on sterilization and sterilization.

"The Ai family has a way to use wine to get rid of evil spirits." Liang Meng said enigmatically.

Everyone felt that the Queen Mother was becoming more and more unfathomable.

Liang Meng once again fell into his own thoughts and said: "The wine made by the Ai family can be used on these injured soldiers..."

"Is what the Queen Mother said true?" Prince Li asked.

"Mother, is this true?" the eldest prince asked.

"Is this true?" Prince Su asked.

The three of them couldn't wait to ask before Liang Meng finished speaking.

"Of course it's true." Liang Meng noticed the ecstasy of the three of them this time.

In the war of Dajin, many soldiers lost their lives due to infection. High-concentration wine can save many soldiers. This is so exciting for the princes.

In the Dajin military camp, there are boys with short hair everywhere, which makes Liang Meng unbelievably believe that he is in Dajin.

"Finally we are no longer in a military camp with feces, and the air is much cleaner." Liang Meng said to Hongyu.

"Your Majesty, I have never seen such a clean military camp. It is a great blessing for me to have your Majesty here..." Hongyu praised happily.

"Hmm, Hongyu, the Aijia never knew that you were so good at praising others." Hongyu's praise made Liang Meng feel that he was not doing nothing when he came to Daikin, so he said very happily.

"Your Majesty, I sincerely praise you. Please don't make fun of me," Hongyu said.

While the two were happily joking, a soldier in black armor hurried towards the main camp.

Their smiles stopped abruptly.

"Hongyu, please accompany the Aijia to take a look." Liang Meng's instinct told him that something had happened.

"Yes." Hongyu also suppressed her smile and returned to her appearance as a palace maid.Liang Meng heard it when he approached the camp.

"Reporting to Prince Su, there is a plague in the army." The soldier said.

"The plague has still spread to the army." The princes were very worried.

"Have the people been sent to the quarantine facility?" Prince Li asked.

"In return, the prince has put him in the quarantine facility and the doctor has gone to check."

"I'll report it if there's any situation. Get down!" the eldest prince said.

"Yes, I am resigning," the soldier said.

"Wait a minute, please describe the symptoms of the plague to the Ai family." Liang Meng asked.

Plague, smallpox, cholera...there are so many diseases in ancient times. As long as you know which ones they are, you will always think of a little modern knowledge to solve them.

"I told you, the Queen Mother, that the bodies of those infected with the plague were covered in red pox, which were extremely itchy."

"Yes, it's smallpox." Liang Meng blurted out.

"Smallpox." The eldest prince said in surprise.

"It turned out to be smallpox." Prince Li said.

"It's smallpox." Prince Su said.

"Are you ready for the burning platform?" Prince Su asked.

"If you want to get back to the prince, the burning platform is ready."

"Burn the sick warrior." Prince Su said calmly, as if he was just giving another ordinary order.

"Yes." After saying that, the subordinate was about to go out.

Liang Meng was shocked. The eldest prince, Prince Li and others were not surprised by this.

Liang Meng said hurriedly: "Wait a minute."

The subordinate stopped retreating.

Liang Mengdao: "Why did you send the soldiers directly to the burning platform? Aren't the doctors helping?"

"The Queen Mother, don't you know that smallpox cannot be cured. There are only a few people in the army now. Deal with it early, and we can't let all the soldiers die here." Prince Li said.

"But smallpox is not incurable. Some people can overcome it by themselves." Liang Mengdao.As long as you can overcome it yourself, you will never get smallpox again in your life and you will have antibodies in your body.

"The Queen Mother, if you cannot be kind as a woman, we may not wait until someone can overcome smallpox on his own, and all the soldiers will get smallpox." Prince Su said.

"Aijia, we can cure this smallpox." Liang Meng only knew that smallpox could be obtained from cows, and then vaccinia vaccine could be injected into humans to prevent it, but Liang Meng did not know how people who had already contracted smallpox could be treated.

But when Liang Meng saw the soldiers being burned alive, he felt that they should at least be given a chance to resist.

"Mother, what did you say?" The eldest prince couldn't believe what his ears heard.

"Is what the Queen Mother said true?" Prince Li asked in surprise.

Prince Su stared at Liang Meng in shock.

The soldier was also surprised and forgot the etiquette of not raising his head.

"The Aijia can only guarantee that those who have not contracted smallpox will not get smallpox, but there is nothing the Aijia can do about those who have smallpox, but the Aijia can give those who have smallpox a chance to survive, that is, after those soldiers die We couldn't burn them alive before." Liang Mengdao.

Everyone felt that the Queen Mother who was standing here at this time was like a god descending to earth, and they were all extremely respectful.

Sensing the kind of admiration and piety in everyone's eyes, the strings in Liang Meng's mind immediately tightened. This is the rhythm of deifying me. This is not possible. Evil gods and demons cannot come close to contaminate me. Little does anyone know that one thought can turn into a devil. , if you become a Buddha with just one thought, you will be regarded as a god today, but you will be regarded as an unlucky thing in the future.

Liang Meng hurriedly explained: "Everyone, please don't look at Aijia so much. Ever since the late emperor passed away and the emperor ascended the throne, Aijia has been reading the bamboo slips every day to pass the time. What Aijia says are all recorded by our ancestors. It is my ancestors who protected me."

After everyone heard Liang Meng's explanation, they gradually believed that it was recorded by their ancestors.

"With the blessing of my ancestors, I, Dajin, will definitely be able to rule the world." Prince Li said.

"That's right, I, Dajin, will definitely dominate the world." Prince Su said.

"Unify the world."

"Unify the world."

According to the method described by Liang Meng, everyone in the army was vaccinated, but only a few soldiers who had been infected survived the smallpox virus and were lucky to survive.

All the methods for dealing with the plague that Liang Meng experimented with in the army were written on bamboo slips and sent to the imperial city as quickly as possible.

In the Dajin military camp, news of the Sunset Dynasty and the raging plague kept coming. The Sunset Dynasty's court could not rescue them at all. The court was paralyzed, the people were displaced, and the rebel army rose up. The court pressed the gourd and raised the gourd, and the rebel army was like Food was hoarded like bamboo shoots after the rain, and the soldiers proclaimed themselves kings. They all raised the banner of rebellion on the grounds that the emperor was faint and immoral, and that heaven was sending punishment.

It's true that when things prosper, the people suffer, and when they die, the people suffer.

After Liang Meng learned about the Sunset Imperial City, he went to the main camp of Dajin. The princes were discussing when to attack the Sunset Imperial City. When they saw Liang Meng coming, they all saluted.

Liang Mengdao: "The Ai family has learned that the princes are discussing sending troops to the Sunset Imperial City. The Ai family has something to say about this and I don't know whether to say it or not."

"The Queen Mother just says it's okay," Prince Li said.

"The Ai family has a strategy for attacking the Sunset Imperial City this time. We cannot do what we did before Dajin. After attacking the Imperial City, we send out soldiers to loot the city and insult the women." Liang Mengdao.

"My soldiers of Dajin have always been at odds with the people of Sunset. Why can't we attack the Imperial City of Sunset and loot everything? We, soldiers of Dajin, have always been like this." The eldest prince said dissatisfied.

"Although the Sunset Dynasty is currently divided and the people are revolting, they are the people of the Sunset Dynasty after all.

Our Dajin soldiers are brave and good at fighting, but in the face of the resistance of hundreds of millions of people of the Sunset Dynasty, can our Dajin soldiers kill them all?
We will fight to the death with the Sunset people, and by then my warriors of Dajin will face endless war.

Is this what the princes want to see? Is this what the people of Dajin want to see?The war has gone on for too long, and the people need a stable life and an end to the war, not an endless one.

Therefore, the Ai family is not negotiating with the princes. The Ai family is giving an order. All my soldiers of Dayin who attack the city must not harm the people at all, insult women, or plunder gold and silver. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy;

All Luoti people who surrender to me will be killed. Dajin will protect the Luoti people who have not yet contracted smallpox from the possibility of contracting smallpox in this life. If they do not surrender to me, they will be killed without mercy. "

Liang Meng thought in his heart that the Yuan Dynasty ruled the Han people and burned, killed and looted the Han people. As a result, in the short 100 years of the Yuan Dynasty, the Han people's opposition to the Yuan Dynasty never stopped; Japan invaded China and did all kinds of evil to China. China and Japan They would fight to the death; but Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the ruler of the Qing Dynasty, treated the Han people with gentleness, and finally they were able to live in peace.

There is absolutely no room for strategic mistakes in dealing with sunsets.

"The Queen Mother, what you said is true, I admire you, and I will obey the Queen Mother's decree." Prince Li said.

"This king respectfully abides by the imperial edict of the Queen Mother."

"My son, I will obey the imperial decree of my mother."
