Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1499, was slaughtered again
A few days later, more than a dozen Ming doctors arrived at the Arak colonial stronghold, and Korbanda immediately went to have a look as if he saw a savior.

Shen Yao is a student who graduated from Daming Medical College. Although he is very young, he is only twenty-five years old now, but he has obtained the title of senior doctor and was hired by Sihai Commercial Company to come to West Africa to practice medicine and treat diseases.

Of course, when he came to West Africa, he was not only employed by the Universal Trading Company, but more importantly, he wanted to come to West Africa to study many diseases.

The African continent is different from other continents. There are many kinds of diseases here, and most of the diseases are very terrible. Many of them are extremely contagious and have a high fatality rate.

With the continuous development of Ming's colonization activities on the African continent, some diseases have also spread to Ming, such as yellow fever in Nanyang and other regions, which even caused many deaths.

Daming Medical College has also been researching this disease, hoping to find an effective way to prevent and cure yellow fever.

If yellow fever cannot be conquered, then the Ming people's colonial activities on the African continent can only be limited to the coastal areas, and cannot go deep into the inland areas.
The entire African continent is very vast, rich in resources, and fertile for bandits. Wouldn't it be a pity if it was only limited to the coastal areas.

When he learned that a large-scale infectious disease had appeared in the Persian colonial stronghold, and according to the description, it was very likely to be yellow fever, malaria, typhoid, cholera and other infectious diseases, Shen Yao immediately became non-stop Come with your team.

Of course, this is not to worry about the safety of the Persians, but to find the subject of the experiment. He wants to see how the Persians are defeated by the disease here, and find the source of the disease from it, and come up with prevention and treatment methods. .

In the wounded and sick camp at the Arak colonial stronghold, there were so many sick people that there were no beds left, and many sick soldiers could only find a place to lie down.

All kinds of vomit, excrement, etc. can be seen everywhere, the smell is extremely bad, flies and mosquitoes are flying around, and the sound of painful groans can be heard endlessly. From time to time, soldiers carry corpses out of the city.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Shen Yao couldn't help frowning immediately.

"Don't these Persians even know basic segregation?"

"And why the hygienic conditions here are so poor. Even if people who are not sick come here, it is estimated that they will get sick soon."

Shen Yao and a dozen people under his command covered their noses and mouths with white cloths, and then began to carefully check the conditions of the sick people here.

"Yellow fever~"

"Swinging~"

"Typhoid~"

"Cholera~"

"There are all of them, and they are all mixed together for treatment. There is no detailed distinction, and they are treated separately. Moreover, the conditions here are too poor."

Soon, Shen Yao and his subordinates finished the inspection, this Persian was really unlucky.

I was infected with four terrible infectious diseases at once, whether it was yellow fever or malaria, it was enough to make people look pale, not to mention typhoid and cholera.

"No wonder, tens of thousands of troops disappeared at once."

Shen Yao looked at the injured camp in front of him, and nodded silently.

On the way here, I have heard the people from Sihai Trading Company explain the situation of the Persians in detail. After the tens of thousands of troops came from afar, after capturing three colonial strongholds, they died suddenly and were troubled by diseases. Can't move anymore.

"Where is Doctor Daming?"

At this time, Korbanda came in a hurry, asked questions in a hurry as soon as he came, and soon saw Shen Yao and the others, and also hurried over.

"I also ask you to save my soldiers, no matter how much you pay."

Corbanda was really in a hurry. In just a few days, his condition became more serious. The same situation occurred in the three colonial strongholds he occupied. The disease was rampant, and a large number of soldiers fell ill and died. Thousands of soldiers are gone.

You must know that not many people died when they attacked the colonial strongholds, but this invisible disease took the lives of thousands of soldiers at once. What is even more frightening is that thousands of soldiers have fallen ill now, and the situation is urgent.

If this continues, the tens of thousands of Persian troops will all be accounted for here, and there is no talk of seeking revenge from the Spaniards.

"We practitioners can't ignore death and refuse to save them. As for how much money will be spent, you can discuss it with the person in charge of our Four Seas Commercial Bank."

Shen Yao thought for a while and replied.

Li Jing has already explained this matter, saving people must be to save people, as for the price, Li Jing will discuss with them here, Shen Yao only needs to be responsible for saving people.

"Okay, okay~"

Korbandar nodded again and again, and then said worriedly: "Can these soldiers of mine be saved?"

"Of course there is help~"

"Although the situation is very serious, it is not completely hopeless."

"The soldiers under your command have now been diagnosed with four diseases, yellow fever, malaria, typhoid and cholera~"

"I need you to fully cooperate with my work, so that it is possible to control and treat the disease."

Shen Yao nodded solemnly and replied.

"No problem, no problem, including me, everyone will follow your arrangements."

As soon as Korbanda heard it, he felt refreshed as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

The military doctors who accompanied him in the army were completely helpless, and they couldn't even tell what disease they had. These Ming doctors were different. They identified four diseases at once, and judged them accordingly.

As if grasping at straws, he nodded repeatedly, ready to follow Shen Yao's side at all times, obeying Shen Yao's command and arrangement.

"First of all, it is necessary to distinguish all patients according to different diseases, and set up separate wards for each type of patient, and they cannot be mixed together."

"Secondly, we must carry out a comprehensive disinfection and cleaning of the whole city, and sprinkle lime on all ditches, huts, puddles and other places for comprehensive disinfection."

"And all those who are not sick must cover their noses and mouths with a cloth to prevent infection."

"It is necessary to buy mosquito nets and mosquito coils, and clean up the places where there are mosquitoes. I suspect that the spread of these diseases is closely related to the flies and mosquitoes here."

"These are the list of needed medicines and items. If you have them, send them over immediately. The more the better, if you don't, find a way to buy them."

Shen Yao nodded in satisfaction. What he was most afraid of was being ignorant and unwilling to cooperate. As long as the Persians were willing to cooperate, it would do. name.

"No problem, let's do it right away~"

After listening to the interpreter's words, Korbanda also hurriedly nodded solemnly, and ordered people to handle it quickly.

Looking at the list written by Shen Yao, he also ordered his subordinates to prepare quickly.

"General, we don't have most of the things on it~"

The people under his command carefully checked the list above, and found that they were really not prepared enough to come to West Africa this time. Except for weapons, equipment and food, they didn't have many other things.

"I'm going to find Li Jing~"

Korbanda pondered for a while, and when he rolled his eyes, he immediately knew what to do.

Daming people, it has always been like this, there is nothing to say about the things and services they provide, but the price is definitely not cheap, and the Four Seas Trading Company will definitely not help in vain, they must have already prepared what they want. need something.

Just waiting for myself to come to the door to deliver the money.

In fact, just as Korbanda thought, Li Jing had already prepared relevant medicines and supplies, and was thinking about how to kill the Persians.

"Is it too expensive?"

When Korbanda received Li Jing's offer, he couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly. These Ming people are simply eating people without spit out their bones.

In this thin list in my hand, there are not many medicines and items listed on it, only a dozen kinds, and many things are actually common, such as mosquito nets and mosquito coils, that is, they are not prepared in advance, and those who are prepared are not worth it at all. what money.

But Li Jing actually offered a sky-high price of one million taels of silver, and the lion opened his mouth, and it was the kind that could not be countered.

"Your Excellency, many things here are very cheap, but the medicines on it are very expensive."

"This special drug for treating malaria can only be produced on the rare trees on the South Golden Continent. The production is very rare and the price is extremely expensive. Even in our Daming, it is worth gold."

"There are also these medicines for treating typhoid fever and cholera. Most of them need to be transferred from our local Ming Dynasty. That is to say, we have the ability to raise sufficient quantities from the colonies and commercial firms in West Africa. Otherwise, even if it is You can't buy it with money."

Li Jing looked at Korbanda with a smile on his face, as if he was convinced of you.

That's right, I'm expensive, but it's reasonable to be expensive. These medicines are scarce and very expensive, and only our Four Seas Trading Company can raise enough medicines and items in a short period of time.

In fact, Li Jing did not tell the whole truth. The origin of Cinchona cream for treating malaria is in the South Golden Continent, but because it has miraculous effects on malaria, Tianjin Yuanyuan Trading Co., Ltd. has introduced it to Nanyang for a long time. The large amount of planting has already become a necessary medicine in hospitals and clinics all over the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, what Li Jing said was half false and half true. It is true that there are only a few powerful trading houses and vassal states that can raise enough medicines and supplies in a short period of time in West Africa.

"Haha, there's no other way, it's fine if you don't suffer this knife."

"You Daming people are really black-hearted, and you will find opportunities to make money."

"I've given you the money, but you need to pay the IOU. Hurry up and send the things here."

Korbanda looked at Li Jing, and admitted with a helpless wry smile.

If you have no money, you can continue to plunder and rob in the colony, but if your soldiers are all finished, then it is really finished, and all the ambitions and plans of the Persian Empire in West Africa will disappear.

The [-] elite army in his hands is a powerful army built by Ismayi I with all the power of Persia. It must not be lost here in vain, lost to invisible diseases.

Not to mention one million taels of silver, he will also give two million taels or three million taels of silver.
