A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 762 Respect
A cup of tea, several people sat in front of the hall, this is a shabby room, but Wu Dexin, although the thatched hall is small, the courtyard is narrow, but it is neat and tidy, revealing a faint fragrance of medicine.

In the eyes of visitors, Wu Youxing is like a great scholar, compassionate, with a gentle smile on his face, just like the sunshine in winter, giving people a touch of warmth, and also contains a series of positive aspects such as kindness, friendliness, and kindness. Emotions.

He chatted and laughed with everyone, Wu Nong's soft words revealed the gentleness of Jiangnan men, but also the firmness in his bones. People say that a gentleman is like jade, which is what they mean.

When the topic changed from a scholar to his works, Wu Youxing couldn't help being proud, and he started to talk eloquently: "Things are the transformation of qi, and qi is the transformation of things. There is hostility between heaven and earth. , and it is severe qi, which is caused by the qi of plague. This qi should be different from evil qi. It does not invade the human body, but enters from the mouth and nose. Staying between half the surface and half a mile, Wu called it the membrane original."

Talking about his own understanding of the plague, Wu Youxing was in high spirits: "Treatise on febrile diseases can be contagious when you talk about it, and you can have it when it's not the right time. However, I have practiced medicine for many years. According to the facts, sometimes the breath of action must be there. Plague, so the theory of what is going on is not convincing. Whether people get the disease or not, it is caused by severe qi. After feeling the qi of the disease, it will make the old and the young sick. This disease is neither wind nor cold, nor heat nor dampness. It is not the evil of the six evils that invades from outside, so the method of treating exogenous pathogenesis cannot be cured."

Everyone who came showed a look of concern, especially the man dressed as a doctor who listened very carefully. He said a little excitedly: "According to what Mr. said, what should be done to cure the evil of epidemic disease?"

It is rare for someone to listen to his "absurd and heretical theories". Wu Youxing has already introduced them as his confidantes, and he said enthusiastically like a ostentatious child: "I have devoted myself to research and think that the strange energy of heaven and earth is moving, and it exists in the membrane. It can be connected to the outside, and the inside can be inserted into the inside, which cannot be achieved by general decoctions, so it needs to be guided according to the situation."

He said: "Therefore, I start from both the outside and the inside, because the outside does not look inside, and the outside shows again. Inside, the inside is better than the outside, and the nine methods are transmitted first, then the inside, and then the inside, etc., to drive away the unhealthy Qi of the four seasons, supplemented by decoction, which should be cured."

He pondered and said: "Yu once created Dayuan Drink to cure febrile disease, so that evil spirits can break out from the membrane as soon as possible, and dissipate from the outside and inside. However, the betel nut inside is produced in Lingnan, and it is not easy to find, so I created Sanxiao Drink... "

He was talking to himself, as if he was caught in some kind of problem, the people who came came looked at each other, and the man dressed as a doctor tentatively said: "Mr. Wen has a masterpiece, I wonder if I can let someone take a look?"

Of course Wu Youxing would like someone to read his book, so he immediately took out his "On Epidemic Epidemic" from the inner room, and the man dressed as a doctor quickly took it, and carefully placed it on the table to read. He exclaimed: "It's really an emperor's masterpiece."

While flipping through the pages, he discussed with Wu Youxing, applauded from time to time, and the two even had a lively discussion on several issues in it. Li Yan, Mr. has such a masterpiece, it should be immortal."

Wu Youxing hurriedly said humbly: "Mr. is overrated, Wu just wants to save a few more people."

He has never been so satisfied today, years of hard work has finally been recognized and appreciated by others, and so much respect.

He suddenly thought of a question, except for the scholar with a Jiangnan accent, the rest of them both had a northern accent, but he was rude and didn't ask where he was or why he came. He was a little embarrassed and said: "I'm confused, I haven't asked the guests yet... ..."

The man dressed as a wealthy businessman stood up with a smile, and said: "Actually, to tell you the truth, sir, we all come from the Xuanfu, but we are here to visit Mr. Wu under the order of the Marquis of Yongning."

He said: "Your Majesty knew that Mr. Wang had written a masterpiece of medicine, so he sent us here. One is to discuss copyright, so that "On Epidemic Epidemics" can be printed and published for the benefit of all people. The other is to invite Mr. to Xuanfu. , to conspire with the great cause of medicine."

Under Wu Youxing's surprised gaze, he even took out a copy of letterhead from his sleeve, and gave Wu Youxing a meaningful look: "This is a speech written by Lord Hou, and it can be said to praise your work."

Unfolding the letter paper, he read slowly: "Wu's "On Epidemic Epidemic", which formed a system of syndrome differentiation and treatment of plague, pioneered the study of epidemiology and microbiology in my country. His pioneering work will win widespread respect from the world. I would like to pay high tribute to Mr. Wu Youxing, Wang Dou."

Wu Youxing was inexplicably surprised, and took the letter paper in a daze. Looking at the flamboyantly large characters on it, as well as the signature and seal below, he was just speechless in a daze.

This... what's going on here?

He has also heard the name of Yongning Hou Wangdou, but he is far away in the extreme north of the border town, and he is in the south of the Yangtze River. How does he know himself?
Moreover, although some close people know about the book I wrote, the words "On Epidemic Epidemics" were chosen and selected recently, and they were finalized two days ago. The Marquis of Yongning, he...he...

For Wang Dou, he had an unfathomable feeling in his heart.

Moreover, there are many tabloid newspapers in the south of the Yangtze River, copying and posting. In the past, it was fine, and they praised Wang Dou a lot. Recently, there have been more negative reports, such as arrogant, cruel, and shameless. All the eight girls came out, of course Wu Youxing scoffed.

He is a fan of the Xuanfu Times, and he is more concerned about the facts reported in it, especially about medical matters, and he knows some of the dirty things in the local area.

He even heard privately that because the Xuanfu Times revealed that Zheng Zhilong had monopolized the coastal trade of Daming and earned more than ten million taels of silver every year, the Zheng family was furious and dedicated money to smear Yongning Hou Wangdou in various tabloids. Now Jiangnan is brewing Jiangnan According to the Times, Zheng Group has a large stake.

Of course, sometimes he reads too many tabloids, and in his mind, Wang Dou inevitably looks like a warlord and warrior, but at this time...

Wu Youxing didn't know what to say, besides the unpredictability, there was even a creepy feeling.

It was as if a tall figure stood among the clouds, and in a glance, everything in the world could not escape his eyes.

But at this time Wang Dou was completely different in his heart. Although the content of the special letter was profound and inexplicable, the kind of praise that he said, sure, poured into his heart like a trickle, especially the praise of Yongning Hou as a marquis.

It seemed that all the loneliness and grievances over the years turned into tears, Wu Youxing choked up and said: "Master Hou is too famous, this old man is just doing his job as a doctor."

Even so, his tears kept falling, and his trembling hands held the letter more tightly.

The man dressed as a doctor showed envy in his eyes, because a doctor won this praise, he would die without regret.

He could understand Wu Youxing's mood, but in fact, if it were him, he would have been crying a long time ago.

The man dressed as a wealthy businessman saw Wu Youxing wiped away his tears, and then looked at him, as if he understood what he was thinking, smiled and said: "Sir, you don't need to ask, Lord Hou is a star descendant, he knows astronomy at the top, and geography at the bottom. It’s not surprising that he came here just to save me from Daming’s misery, I’ve gotten used to it after staying by his side for a long time.”

He said: "What we mean here is to purchase the copyright of Mr.'s masterpiece with 1000 taels of silver. After the book is printed and published, Mr. will have a monthly retouching fee. Of course, what we hope more is that Mr. can go to Xuanfu, Discuss medicine and cure plague diseases together."

Wu Youxing was even more surprised. He murmured, "This is too much..."

At this time, all the books must be funded by himself. He only asked someone to read his books and do his best to treat patients. Suddenly, someone was willing to publish a book for him. Not only did he spread the word through the ages, but he even poured 1000 taels of silver on his head. On the way, he felt terrified.

He hesitated and said: "I only hope that "On Epidemic Epidemics" can spread to the world so that more patients will not die from the epidemic. These silver coins..."

The man dressed as a wealthy businessman got up and saluted solemnly: "Mr. Wan Wang, don't refuse, Master Hou also said that you deserve it."

The other two also saluted together: "Mr. Wanwang, don't refuse."

Wu Youxing was conflicted fiercely in his heart, finally he gritted his teeth, stamped his feet and said, "Forget it, this old man has the audacity to suffer."

The man dressed as a wealthy businessman said happily: "Sir, you agreed to go to the Xuan Mansion? That's great!"

He repeatedly told the two of them: "Hurry up, make arrangements and prepare for the departure of the husband. By the way, the husband's family should also be properly arranged..."

Wu Youxing stared dumbfounded at the three of them getting busy, as if the old man hadn't mentioned this matter yet, had he?

However, he has long been yearning for Xuanfu Town. That place attaches so much importance to medical ethics. Perhaps, after he arrives there, he can better display his promising body and do his best to treat the epidemic. The praise of Yongninghou His actions warmed his heart even more.

At the moment, the acquiescence of going along with the current, just called the boy and asked him to pack his things together and prepare to go to the Xuanfu.

The boy who boiled medicine opened his eyes wide: "What are you talking about, go to Xuanfu? I heard that it's cold there, and you can freeze into popsicles after urinating..."

……

In October of the 15th year of Chongzhen, outside Luoyang City.

Dense tents covered the land on both sides of the Luoshui River, and banners of various colors with the word "Chuang" written on them fluttered and fluttered, vigorously agitating in the cold wind.

Li Yan stood quietly, looking at the dilapidated city and the abandoned land, his eyes flashed with pain, and a thought flashed in his heart: "I don't suffer from poverty but anxiety, am I wrong?"

As early as the end of the 13th year of Chongzhen's conquest of Luoyang, Li Yan tried his best to encourage Chuang Wang to occupy Heluo to fight for the world, thinking that Ming Taizu built a high wall and accumulated grain.

Chuang Wang had a lot of trust in himself, and he had promised him this, but he was ashamed.

He and Liu Fangliang shared the same army and government, and managed farmland in Henan Province. At the beginning, they also achieved results. They trained a group of new troops, but...

Officers and soldiers came in batches, first Fu Zonglong, then Chen Yongfu, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen, and Governor Wang Qiaonian. Every time the officers and soldiers arrived in Henan, they would burn, kill, loot, and add the "rebel army" to the government. The pain of the "base area" has been returned to the people in the "base area" time and time again.

After such back and forth, Henan Mansion is already a piece of white land, so how can we manage it?
As for the pain of the government, Li Yan also deeply felt it. It is too difficult to want a stable farming environment.

Perhaps what the chief sentinel Liu Ye and others said at the time was right. At this stage, the enemy should be defeated by walking instead of staying in a certain place.

Besides, Henan Mansion is not a good place to farm, because it is surrounded by a group of enemies. If you are not careful, a large number of officers and soldiers will rush in and burn them. Not to mention, Sun Chuanting is about to take office. This person is not simple.

There was a large group of people beside him, the voice of Gu Junen, a counselor who had recently defected to King Chuang, came slowly: "Students invite the king to go south to Huguang and capture Xiangyang..."
