"When one year, the age is similar, or the disease occurs when it is infected, it turns into cold and heat, called malaria" - "Preface to Prescriptions for Three Causes and One Disease".

Many people have heard of malaria, but they don’t know where its horror lies.

Academician Tu Youyou was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology because of his extraction of artemisinin and his successful restraint of malaria.

It can be said that before artemisinin appeared, malaria was basically an incurable disease.

The spread of malaria is also undirected. The ancients believed that malaria was transmitted through the air, but in fact, malaria is mostly transmitted because mosquito bites carry malaria poison.

In ancient times, malaria was equivalent to death.

The Chinese talked about whether Alexander the Great would cross Mount Altai to the Qin Dynasty and compete with Qin for male and female. Unfortunately, Alexander the Great suffered from malaria on the way to conquer India and died of malaria.

Not only the Spartans suffered from malaria, but also in ancient Chinese wars, malaria emerged one after another.

When Emperor Wu of Han conquered Minyue, "there were many miasma and twelve or three deaths without bloodshed"; Ma Yuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty led 8,000 Han troops to fight south of Jiaozhi, but "the military officials died of miasma and 14th Five-Year Plan"; during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the attack on Myanmar several times were frustrated due to malaria, and sometimes "the soldiers died of seven or eight deaths before the war."

In ancient China, there was a lack of interest in attacking the Indochina Peninsula, which was a large part of the reason for the lack of malaria in marched to the southwest.

When the Chinese Expeditionary Forces in modern times helped Myanmar, a large number of soldiers died of malaria.

According to the "Four Body Fluid Theory", the famous Roman doctor Galen proposed that malaria is caused by body fluid imbalance, and can be cured by bloodletting and laxative therapy. However, malaria itself can lead to anemia, and simple and crude bloodletting can only make patients die faster.

This is the reason why the West only had bloodletting treatment in the Middle Ages.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that eliminating evil and malaria is the basic principle of treating malaria. After being diagnosed with malaria, malaria can be intercepted.

The "Shennong Bencao Jing" written in the Eastern Han Dynasty records that the plant Changshan has the effect of treating malaria.

Li Yuan hurried to the quarantine camp.

The isolation camp had already sprinkled lime powder as the emperor ordered and isolated the camp tent.

The soldiers' moans from time to time came from inside. Several doctors wearing masks walked around at the door of the tent, with sadness on their faces.

"How is it? Have the patient stabilized?" Li Yuan was a little anxious.

Dr. Zhao took off his white mask and asked the Supreme Emperor to talk, "Your Majesty's body of a thousand golds must not go to the isolation camp. If you are infected with malaria, it is a terminal illness that even gods cannot treat."

"Are I just watching the soldiers die?" Li Yuan moved a step to the side and sighed.

He suddenly thought that the transmission of malaria did not seem to be based on air, but was like a bite of mosquitoes. How can modern people survive in the south?

There are many mosquitoes in the south, and if you want to get through it, you need mosquito nets.

Mosquito nets have always been a must-have for marching.

Prevention is greater than treatment!

"Doctor Zhao, as I understand, malaria is not transmitted by air or evil wind, but by mosquitoes in the south carrying "highly toxic"!

Think about it, why few people in the north have malaria, because there are fewer mosquitoes in the north and more in the south, especially in the warm climate here in the southwest.” Li Yuan said.

"What Your Majesty said is reasonable." Dr. Zhao nodded and agreed: "During the treatment process, I also found that the probability of malaria among soldiers carrying mosquito nets is indeed much less, and almost all those who do not sleep with mosquito nets are suffering from malaria.

Thousands of instructions and ten thousand instructions, but no matter how serious it is, anyone who is thinking that this disease will not come to his head."

Li Yuan shook his head with emotion. This is not a lesson that can be bought with money. He needs to spend his life to buy. He had already asked the soldiers to pay attention before the march, but there were many soldiers who violated the situation.

Everyone thinks that they are the protagonist in their life, so how can disaster happen to them?

In fact, there is part of the reason for Li Yuan himself, and he did not let the mosquito net be used as the eight major guidelines.

"Your Majesty does not have to worry about it. I have already used the "Chaihu Guijiang Decoction" recorded in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" to instruct soldiers to go down and boil it. Chaihu Guijiang Decoction requires Chaihu, Scutellaria baicalensis to reconcile the exterior and interior, cinnamon twig, dried ginger, licorice, and cereal pollen and other medicinal materials.

However, the army's medicinal materials are scarce and can only be used for 500 people to drink. Because of the need to ensure the health of Your Majesty and the generals, this... can only be treated with two hundred soldiers, but now there are at least 3,000 soldiers in the isolation camp...

Others can save their lives by taking miasma medicine first, but the most important thing is to lack medical treatment and medicine." Dr. Zhao hesitated.

In ancient times, when marching and fighting in places where miasma was rampant, they would carry "mias medicine", but this mias medicine could not cure malaria, it could only make the body feel better. The effect was very poor, and it was as useful as the golden sore medicine.

"Then I will pick out my portion and treat them first. I will issue an imperial edict to let the local government transport a batch of medicinal materials to the front line." Li Yuan smiled slightly, very generous. Chaihu Guijiang Decoction can only relieve malaria and cannot achieve radical results.

In ancient times, it was difficult to treat malaria. There were no less than a hundred methods of traditional Chinese medicine research, but it was unknown. Among them, the "Emergency Prescriptions for Elbows" by Baopuzi Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was the best.

Hold Artemisia annua, use two liters of water to rinse the juice, and take it all.

The artemisinin developed by Tu Youyou is extracted from Artemisia annua.

Artemisia annua is very common and grows a lot in Yunnan and Guizhou. You only need to use local materials.

However, in order to be on the safe side, Li Yuan combined traditional Chinese medicine's Dumaru Powder and other treatments.

After all, there is only one life.

After saying that, Li Yuan returned to the camp and asked his personal army to start collecting Artemisia annua in the nearby camp, and cooked it into porridge, allowing patients and soldiers to drink it to prevent and treat malaria.

But under many measures, some soldiers died suddenly that night. When they woke up at dawn, there were as many as a hundred people who died.

Artemisia annua can treat malaria, but the success rate is too low.

Fortunately, the soldiers who did not suffer from malaria were safe and sound and successfully survived the dangerous period of the malaria outbreak.

But on the 23rd day after the siege of the city, when the city was about to be destroyed, the Tang army had another plague. Nearly half of the soldiers vomited and diarrhea, and their faces were pale and bloodless.

The whole camp was wailing, and the entire Tang army even felt war-weary and negative.

They are even afraid that they will die in a foreign land.

The pressure on the Supreme Emperor is getting stronger and stronger. He doesn't want to be Yang Guang's second. If he doesn't appease the soldiers, it's hard to guarantee that there will be no mutiny.

This war is no longer a victory between the army, but whether the Tang army can defeat the military disaster.

All Central Plains dynasties were invincible when facing these small southwest countries, but were defeated by plague and disease.

"Capture Champa, and don't take off your sword for three days!" Li Yuan promised coldly.
