Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Why is it that only outside magicians know how to debate scriptures...

Zhang Fei muttered, not complaining.

After all, if you think about it, this Taoism can pull up the yellow scarf and send a big man to his death, and Buddhism, which can compete with it, is naturally not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Moreover, this Buddhism forced the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to exterminate Buddhism.

If you think about it this way, when it comes to the degree of danger to a country, I am afraid that no one from the Buddhist and Taoist families can tell the difference.

Pang Tong couldn't understand the others, but he could clearly see the reasons for Buddhism's popularity.

So we came to a simple conclusion:

Someone doesn't understand the Five Mings of Buddhism, but it seems that if you want to govern the country well, skillful medicine and medicine are indispensable.

In response, everyone in the hall nodded together.

After all, Xia Houyuan, Du Xi and others are still under house arrest, and most of the workers who are rebuilding Chang'an City have been demoted.

The Three Qin Dynasties were captured in Guanzhong without any damage, which shows that if you want to win in military formation, you don't have to be good at leading troops.

After all, if nothing else, it was a decisive battle in winter, and the enemy had a mountain of coal cakes to keep warm and plenty of soup to dispel cold and prevent diseases.

Even if the Marquis of Huaiyin is resurrected, it will probably be quite difficult.

This fully demonstrates the power of medicine and engineering.

So in the end, everyone in the hall focused their eyes on the light screen: Han was lucky to have the light screen to point out.

Immediately following the light curtain, everyone's eyes also focused on Kong Ming: It is our luck to have Kong Ming be admired by future generations.

Zhang Zhongjing on the side also felt emotional.

He will be known as the leader of medical science, the leader of medical science, and the disease will never be eradicated. All kinds of thoughts are also lingering in his mind.

In the end, these complicated emotions converged into an unprecedented confidence.

If in the old days Zhang Zhongjing faced the epidemic alone and could not win, then I am not alone now either!

The atmosphere in the hall became more and more harmonious. It was rare for Ma Chao to use his head again. He could see that whether it was the emperor's uncle, Zhuge Military Advisor, Doctor Zhang, or even Mr. Jian, they all had Yuan Yuan aspirations in their hearts.

So Ma Mengqi is now nearly forty years old, what is his ambition?

The four words domesticating Yongliang that made him so proud in the past now feel ashamed to say them out.

As for what the light curtain said about the inconsistent merit, almost everyone in the hall scoffed.

If the merits were equal, then there would be no chaos at all. How could there be chaos?

It's okay to deceive the people, but for people like them who have been through troubled times, they are all disdainful.

[Whether it is ancient or modern times, epidemics are a problem that large numbers of countries must face.

The Han Dynasty was like this, and Rome was no exception, and it was also very similar to the Han Dynasty in time.

The first recorded major plague in ancient Rome was from 165 to 189 AD, that is, the period from the end of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty to the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

This is hard not to remind people of the first time the prime minister split the pot in Chu Shi Biao: He sighed and hated Huan Ling.

Because this period was during the Antonine dynasty of ancient Rome, it was also called the Antonine Plague.

We have also talked about part of this before. At that time, Rome was at the end of the Five Wise Emperors, and Rome sent envoys to the Han Dynasty to find a reliable ally.

On the other hand, ancient Rome also started a protracted war with the Parthian Empire, and finally successfully captured Ctesiphon, the capital of the Parthian Empire, and burned it to the ground.

However, smallpox broke out in Parthia at that time, and a large number of soldiers became infected, causing ancient Rome to withdraw in a hurry. These soldiers also brought the disease back to ancient Rome, which directly caused the end of the golden age of ancient Rome.

According to current data, the Antonine Plague is similar to the typhoid epidemic in the late Han Dynasty, and more than one disease spread rampantly.

The power of the compound plague is also huge. According to records of ancient Roman historians, the plague can newly infect nearly 10,000 people every day, and more than 2,000 infected people will die at the same time. In the end, after the plague subsides, the death toll will be as high as 5 million. One-third of the population of some provinces was directly wiped out, and the national power of ancient Rome was directly cut in half. Marcus Aurelius, the last of the Five Wise Emperors, also died directly from the plague.

But for ancient Rome, the series of chain blows caused by the plague had just begun:

Because the first people to face the plague were soldiers. As the number of troops was stretched and they had to recruit new soldiers from gladiators and slaves, the quality of the soldiers declined rapidly.

As the population plummeted and silver mining, used to maintain military expenditures, came to a standstill, the economy of ancient Rome began to fall into a downturn, and all industries suffered heavy losses.

Just as Roman citizens were relieved that this natural disaster was finally over, the epidemic in 191 struck back, catching ancient Rome off guard, and the country's slightly improved national conditions plunged back into winter.

The following year, Marcus Aurelius's son, the ancient Roman Emperor Commodus, was assassinated, and the Antonine dynasty came to a complete end. Ancient Rome thus began the Third Century Crisis period of nearly a hundred years, which is the Three Centuries Crisis we have mentioned before. Ten Tyrants period.

In this aspect, the script is very different from China: internal killings, foreign invasion from the north, people in dire straits, and the upper class is in dire straits.

However, thanks to the emphasis on medicine in ancient Rome, the first great epidemic period became an important period of rise for ancient Roman medicine.

Galen was the most famous doctor of this period. He successfully studied anatomy, verified the function of the heart, conducted quite serious research on the brain and spinal cord, and recognized the human digestive system, respiratory system, and nervous system, and Animal experiments were perfected, and medical knowledge gained from experiments on apes began to be applied to humans for the first time.

As Galen's works were introduced to Arabia, the ancient Arabs also summarized summaries, explorations, doubts, options, practices, and guidelines from Galen's works, which became medical dogma that medical students must abide by and continued until the 10th century. seventh century. 】

This time... is such a coincidence.

Liu Bei was a little dazed for a while. If later generations had not always emphasized that science does not talk about ghosts and gods, then he would have to guess whether there is really a plague god?

Kong Ming has always been quite calm about this understanding:

From this point of view, at most it can only mean that Rome and our Han are quite similar, both are not good at... public health.

And this cold climate does not seem to be a problem for the Central Plains alone. The whole world is not immune to it.

Apart from making judgments, Kong Ming was also a little curious.

If according to this climate cycle theory, with the end of the troubled times of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the climate has warmed again. The East has the prosperity of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but what about the West?

From the few words of previous generations, we can know that Sassanid Persia fell, Byzantium was not far behind, and in the end, the sudden rise of the army...

Could it be that this was the Arab Empire where the Silk Road had everything from ancient China to ancient Rome?
