A gust of wind blowing from the river was very strong, but it was very wet, and there was no discomfort when I pounced on my face.After Qi Tai resumed his breathing, he felt very comfortable.
Ding Ding Dangdang... A ringtone came, and he opened his squinting eyes and saw a full load of sand boat slowly moving towards the nearby pier.
And further apart, a huge treasure ship floated on the river and suddenly appeared in sight. The scene was indeed a bit shocking.
General Tang just mentioned, what happened to Liu Ming? Qi Tai put away his gaze, and then he remembered the topic they had just talked to.
Tang Jing said: One of Liu Tiju's cousins died and were killed by the Zhen La people. They died miserably.
oh.Qi Tai responded, and a look of boredom was inevitably revealed on his face.
Tang Jing continued: At the beginning, I didn’t care much. Liu Tiju also said that it would not be a big deal for private expenses. But when he met the second time, he talked about his cousin again, and he felt something was wrong.
Qi Tai also asked with a little curiosity: What's wrong?
Tang Jing said: Liu Tiju talked about the past, and said it very carefully.When Liu Tiju talked about his cousin Chen Zhang and was sent to Liu Tiju's family when he was still young. When Chen Zhang saw his father leave, he cried constantly at first, but later he took a loquat branch to play with it, and then forgot about his sadness.When they were in a private school together, Liu Ming once got into trouble and was left in the school. After dark, he found that Chen Zhang had been waiting for him outside and wanted to go home together.
There are other trivial matters, which will not be discussed in detail.Liu Tiju mentioned it many times and said repeatedly that Chen Zhang had a good life in just a few days.Only then did the last general realize that his cousin might be even closer than Liu Tiju's brother.
Qi Tai nodded.
Tang Jing said again: Liu Tiju is really tolerant. At first, the last general didn't notice that he was so sad, he was simply a person who showed no emotions.
It was not until this time that Qi Tai felt a little strange.
He thought to himself: If Liu Ming was a very cunning person, how could he be the leader of the New Party?
All cunning people in the officialdom understand the truth; even if someone is favored for a while, if he offends too many people, he will generally not have a good ending.
Qi Tai didn't express his thoughts. What's there to say about him and a general?
At this time, he changed the subject and asked: Have General Tang been to Liujiagang recently?
Tang Jing nodded and said: I have been there only in the beginning of the month.
Qi Tai asked directly: What are the morale of the soldiers?
Tang Jing pondered for a moment, frowned and said: The general led his army to sea twice, and he understood the soldiers' thoughts very well.If they knew that they would land in Zhenla, Mantaga and other countries, they would probably not be in good morale.
Qi Tai said: Why?
Tang Jing glanced at Qi Tai: Miasma, plague, people are in those barbarian places, and they don’t know how they die!
Qi Tai said directly: The Imperial Hospital has discussed it a long time ago, there is no miasma, mainly malaria.
Tang Jing nodded without refuting.
The two of them had already walked a long way along the Longjiang Port River. Seeing that the sun was almost at its peak, Qi Tai proposed to return.
At noon, Qi Tai invited Tang Jing to Longjiang Temple for vegetarian food.
Although it was light tea and rice, it would not make Tang Jing feel that Qi Tai looked down on him.
One day later, Qi Tai went to Rouyi Hall to meet him and put forward some more specific suggestions on the preparations for the government army's southern expedition.
When Qi Tai talked about the soldiers' fear of plague and disease, Zhu Gaoxu and Qi Tai reacted the same way: Malaria and other diseases are not miasma.
Qi Tai immediately bowed and said: The emperor said something reasonable.
Zhu Gaoxu said: I encountered these problems when I led my troops to conquer Annan.In the camp, we must pay attention to boiling water, treating the dirt in the toilet, reducing travel during the rainy season, burning the grass and trees around the fortress, and preventing malaria as much as possible.Malaria is transmitted through mosquitoes and is a very small living creature that causes disease. The diseased people must be isolated and treated, and focus on mosquito killing.
There are also those Chinese doctors who have found medicine to treat, soaked in cold water in Artemisia sausage, and what prescriptions to cure evil, which have been recorded in the Imperial Hospital. At that time, the Imperial Hospital will check the roster, select the doctors who have participated in the Battle of Annan, and go out to Hainan together.
Qi Tai said: The emperor has a clear understanding. I have asked people from the Imperial Hospital that those who are seriously ill and have poor medical treatment. The most important thing is to prevent diseases.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Gaoxu thought about it slightly and immediately agreed with Qi Tai's words: Qibutang is right, malaria is not easy to treat.But if handled properly in the military, large-scale infection can be avoided.In a war, no one who fights to death on the battlefield has ever been the majority...
Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and said: Send doctors and officials to the Haishi Military Camp to promote the soldiers so that the soldiers can understand what malaria is, and there is no need to be blindly afraid.
Qi Tai said: I have thought of a way.
Zhu Gaoxu pointed at him and said: Let’s hear it.
Qi Tai said: During the Yongle period, Zheng He went to the West and had a memorial after he came back. I read that memorial in Wenyuan Pavilion and Kulou.There is a passage written in it, roughly indicating that when the officers and soldiers arrived in Siam, they sprinkled the Ming medicinal materials into the moat of Ayutthaya, curing the diseases of many local people.So the Siamese people crossed the road to greet the official army, and were extremely grateful to our dynasty.
Zhu Gaoxu said in surprise: Can the medicinal herbs be sprinkled into the river? Can drinking water cure the disease?
Qi Tai shook his head and said: I also guessed that it is unlikely that there will be any effect; but this matter is not necessarily a fabrication. Perhaps the local people mistakenly believe that the medicinal materials in the river can cure diseases.But there is a very important meaning in this matter, that is, the medicinal materials of the Ming Dynasty and the epidemic diseases in the barbarians in the south.
Zhu Gaoxu looked thoughtful, and his eyes suddenly showed an expression of interest.
Seeing this, Qi Tai stood up slightly and said calmly: The memorials from the Yongle period cannot be seen by ordinary people.We can change some contents and change Siam to Zhenla. This is not a big deal.
The court may send civil and military officials to the Haishi military camp to promote the ungrateful situation of Zhen La Kingdom.
It is said that our fleet once spread medicine in the Zhenla Kingdom River to cure the Zhenla people and save the people from water and fire; but they repaid their kindness and revenge and killed our envoys!
Most of the soldiers would think that the court was declaring justice.
But unintentionally, the idea that our dynasty medicine can cure the epidemic in the south will surely enter the hearts of the soldiers.
This can achieve the purpose of reducing the fear of officers and soldiers and boosting morale of the army.
The soldiers would never suspect that the officials were deceived by them, because it was difficult for everyone to understand the key to this festival.The soldiers at most doubt whether the real La people were really ungrateful.
ha!Zhu Gaoxu immediately laughed.After a moment, he stood up from the chair, his expression and behavior were fully explained, and he agreed with Qi Tai's suggestion very much.
Zhu Gaoxu pointed at Qi Tai, shook his fingers up and down, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say things like "Old Fried Shuang", but he should have changed his words temporarily: "Ginger is still so spicy."I have to accept the Qibutang’s strategy. You are truly a capable minister.
Qi Tai also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.After all, Zhu Gaoxu once held his head and saved him, a man who was like a stray dog, but now he has entrusted him with important tasks and is willing to be glorious and wealthy.Qi Tai really wants to repay his kindness.
He bowed and said with sincerity: I am doing my best to do my best, and I am not worth mentioning.If you can serve as a master, you will be comforted.
Zhu Gaoxu said: It’s all over the past. Don’t feel that you owe me what you want, and don’t think about repaying your kindness anymore.Qibutang can just appreciate it.
Qi Tai said: I dare not, how can anyone who is knowledgeable about learning can not distinguish between grievances?
Forget it, not everyone can appreciate it.Zhu Gaoxu said casually, Qibutang invited me to have a cup of tea.
Qi Tai said again: I will receive the order.
One in front and one behind, they walked to the coffee table in the northwest corner.
There is no one else in Rouyi Palace today. I used to see concubines in the harem from time to time, but I have never seen them today.
The palace maids and eunuchs were all dismissed, and Zhu Gaoxu's attitude towards Qi Tai became increasingly close.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Qi Tai advised quietly: Two days ago, the emperor mentioned the teaching method of craftsmanship school mentioned by the emperor, and I don’t know if I should talk about it or not.
Zhu Gaoxu immediately responded: Qibutang, but it doesn’t matter.
Qi Tai said: If the imperial court set up a "primary school", there should be an exam; if the pinyin is not included in the exam, it may reduce the opposition between ministers and scholars.This thing is defined as the function of "assisted literacy", which means that it is available or not, and it will be easy for scholars in the world to accept it.
Zhu Gaoxu put away the smile on his face. He was silent for a while, and finally nodded and said: What Qibutang said is not without reason.
The saint is wise.Qi Tai said hurriedly.
After he said that, he picked up a cloth bag on the shelf, took out scythes, flints and other objects from it, and began to make a fire.
This early summer envoy cannot find the fire in the palace during the day.
At this time, there were no servants in the palace around you, so the Minister of War had to do it himself.
The king and his ministers no longer stick to government affairs. Qi Tai even talked about anecdotes. While waiting for the boiling water, they chatted and laughed like old friends.
Then Qi Tai also talked about family affairs. Yang Yunniang, who Zhu Gaoxu gave him, was pregnant, and the Qi family was already a successor.
Qi Tai naturally understood a truth in his heart: being with the king is like being with a tiger.
Emperors are often moody and can favor a certain minister for a moment, or they can immediately turn against others and be very cruel and ruthless.
Like Emperor Jianwen who was experienced by Qi Tai, he always had the name of filial piety and kindness. In fact, he was also the kind of person who even killed his relatives, let alone a minister of a foreign surname.
But what is strange is that in Qi Tai's intuition, he completely did not believe that the emperor Zhu Gaoxu would have any danger to him. And Zhu Gaoxu is just known as cunning and cruel.
Perhaps people cannot only act in shallow ways, or perhaps every emperor is different, and Zhu Gaoxu is the rarest type of person.
Ding Ding Dangdang... A ringtone came, and he opened his squinting eyes and saw a full load of sand boat slowly moving towards the nearby pier.
And further apart, a huge treasure ship floated on the river and suddenly appeared in sight. The scene was indeed a bit shocking.
