Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1498, Plague Continent

Arak City is not very far from Yanshan City.

"what?"

"The Spaniards attacked North Korea's Yanshan Port and burned all the North Korean ships in Yanshan Port?"

Korbanda was in disbelief when he received the news.

Yanshan Port was well-defended and the garrison was heavily guarded. How could it be attacked by Spain, and all the ships were lost at once. Except for a dozen warships sent out, the Korean ships were almost completely lost.

This is not just a loss for the North Koreans. As an ally of the North Koreans, this also means that the Persians also face this serious threat.

"Without the Korean ships, how will our supplies be transported, and how will we attack the Spanish colonial strongholds?"

Corbanda frowned, thinking hard.

Before he came to Africa, he believed that his army could sweep the Spanish colonial stronghold along the coastline as long as it was on land.

However, after he actually came to Africa, and the army went a little deeper into the interior, and the troops attacked the colonial stronghold of Basic Spain in several ways, he knew a harsh fact.

Africa is a plague continent!
There are too many kinds of diseases here, and you will be caught without knowing it, and you don't even know what disease you have, and you will die in the end without knowing why.

The [-] new troops led by him were originally transported to Africa by the Four Seas Trading Company. Although many people suffered from seasickness on the way, their condition was not very good.

But everything went smoothly, and they arrived in Africa without even one person dying along the way.

But in the next step, they first landed on the side of Yanshan City, and then divided into three groups to attack the three colonial strongholds of Spain from the land.

Just a little deeper into the interior, all kinds of diseases began to appear.

A large number of soldiers developed high fever, headache, vomiting blood, skin and eyes began to turn yellow, and some had nosebleeds all the time until they went into complete shock and died.

There are also a large number of soldiers with loss of appetite, dizziness, vomiting, intermittent fever and chills, shaking, pale face, sweating, body aches, diarrhea, coughing and so on.

Although I knew and heard about it beforehand, I knew that there were many and severe diseases in Africa, so I brought a lot of military doctors and medicines with me.

But when faced with all kinds of diseases that emerge in an endless stream, the military doctors accompanying the army seem helpless, and they can't come up with any effective means to treat or prevent these diseases.

Even because there were too many people suffering from diseases, the military doctors were simply overwhelmed, and a large number of soldiers died in a short period of time without receiving treatment.

These things made Corbanda's brain very troubled. At this moment, he still did not have the lofty aspirations he had when he first came here. He was also terrified of the method of attacking the Spanish colonies by land, and he did not dare to order his soldiers to go deep African interior.

It is terrible!

The disease here is like a plague, ravaging the Persian barracks, and causing the Persian army to permeate the shadow of death.

Now that the news from the North Koreans is received, it is even worse. Originally, they were counting on North Korea, an ally, to help them transport food, transport troops, and so on.

Now it seems that these North Koreans cannot be counted on in a short period of time. Their ships are all lost, and they will not be better than themselves in the future.

"It seems that the demand is still on the heads of the Daming people."

"It's just that these Daming people are more greedy than vampires, and the fees are too expensive."

Thinking of this, Korbanda frowned. If it weren't for the fact that there was no other way, he wouldn't even want to find someone from Daming, whose charges were too expensive.

Silver is not silver at all, and you can't even see a shadow when you throw it in.

"General, general, it's not good. Many soldiers fell ill again today."

Just as Korbanda was thinking, someone hurriedly walked over and said.

"what?"

"Someone fell ill again, how many people are there?"

When Korbanda heard this, he immediately asked nervously.

Now the Persians are nesting in the colonial stronghold, and they don't go out at all. They thought that these various plagues would disappear soon in the stronghold.

All kinds of diseases rarely appear in the respective colonial strongholds of various countries. In the areas near the sea and rivers, the diseases are relatively rare and not so rampant.

However, who knew that even though they were hiding in the stronghold, the plague and disease were still spreading wantonly, and there was no intention of stopping it at all.

"More than a thousand people have intermittent cold and fever attacks, trembling all over, and lack of energy!"

The subordinate hurriedly replied.

"More than a thousand people?"

When Korbanda heard this, he became anxious immediately, and hurried to inspect it.

When I came to the sick and wounded camp, I felt like I had come to a plague country. Soldiers in all kinds of miserable situations could be seen everywhere. The originally tall and strong Persian soldiers looked like walking corpses at this moment. Some people groaned in pain constantly, some were sluggish like a log, and some people kept bleeding...

The military doctors accompanying the army were completely helpless at this moment, and there was no effective way at all. From time to time, people could be seen carrying corpses outside the city, ready to bury them.

"That's horrible!"

"The warriors of my Persian Empire did not die in the battle with the enemy, but were killed by this invisible disease!"

Korbanda slammed his fist hard against the wall. Facing this invisible disease, he was completely helpless, there was nothing he could do.

Then the red-eyed Korbanda immediately grabbed a military doctor accompanying the army and asked, "Why can't it be cured?"

"why?"

"Tell me, why?"

"General, these diseases are all diseases that we have never encountered before. Yellow eyes and skin like this should be yellow fever. There is no cure for this disease now."

"There are also these intermittent cold and fever diseases, which should be malaria, and there is no effective treatment yet."

"These people with persistent high fever and severe vomiting should be typhoid fever, and there is currently no effective treatment."

The military doctor who accompanied the arrested man pointed helplessly at each patient and said, "This is hell, the continent of the plague, there are too many diseases of all kinds, I really can't figure it out, those local natives How did you survive here?"

"I don't care about these, what I need is that you heal my soldiers as soon as possible."

"If I can't cure my soldiers, then I will execute all of you military doctors who accompany the army on the spot. What use is there for you?"

Corbanda didn't care about these things, he didn't know what typhoid fever, malaria, yellow fever, etc., all he wanted was to cure his soldiers, otherwise there would be no need for Spaniards, These tens of thousands of troops will wipe out all these diseases.

"I'm afraid there is nothing we can do."

"Perhaps the only ones who can do it now are the people of Daming. I heard that the medical skills of the people of Daming are very advanced and terrifying. They can even perform operations on people's stomachs."

"Besides, the Ming people came to Africa to colonize very early, so they must have understood and studied various diseases, and there must be some way to treat and prevent these diseases."

Hearing what Korbanda said, the military doctor accompanying the army thought about it and said the same thing.

"Ming people?"

When Korbanda heard this, he let go of the military doctor's hand, thought for a while and said, "Immediately contact Mr. Li Jing of the Four Seas Trading Company, and then contact the nearest colony of the Ming Dynasty, and hire a doctor of the Ming Dynasty to come and treat the illness."

"Yes~"

When the subordinates heard this, they hurriedly started to do it.

Then he continued to inspect the wounded and sick camp, and returned to his general's mansion with a heavy heart. Before he could sit still, someone came to report in a hurry.

This is like a great savior, Korbanda hastily went to meet him.

"Congratulations, General, you have conquered three cities in one go and taken away three Spanish colonial strongholds."

As soon as the two sides met, Li Jing sent his congratulations with a smile on his face. He was not in a hurry to return to Tianzhu, and he was also waiting patiently in Sihai City, a colony of Sihai Trading Company in West Africa.

Because he is keenly aware that with the turmoil in West Africa, big business will inevitably come to his door. At that time, whether it is doing business with the Persians, North Koreans or doing business with the Spaniards, there will be big business to do.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before the business came.

He had just received the news of Spain's surprise attack on Yanshan Port, and immediately came to Arak in a hurry, because Li Jing knew that the Persians would definitely need his help.

"Haha, it's okay~"

Corbanda smiled happily and replied, but the sadness on his face could not be concealed, and the careful Li Jing quickly noticed it.

"Your Excellency, have you encountered any difficulties? We are friends. As long as I can help, I will definitely do my best."

Li Jing looked at Korbanda and was secretly happy. The opportunity came, and he could kill the Persians again.

What he likes most is doing business with a country, because it is often a big business, as long as it is done well, the profits will flow in a steady stream, and the silver will flow in. Often, a single business is enough to eat a mouth full of oil.

"Mr. Li has sharp eyes~"

"I have indeed encountered many difficulties now. The biggest difficulty is that my soldiers are plagued by various diseases and plagues. There are so many wounded and sick people that I am unable to expand at all."

Corbanda replied.

"Disease, plague?"

When Li Jing heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly asked about the situation in detail.
