Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Looking back and briefly reviewing the various achievements of Arabia, Kong Ming suddenly remembered what Confucius said.

When three of us travel together, we must be my teacher.

This is very appropriate for Arabia.

Living halfway between the east and the west, he embraced the academic essentials of Rome and acquired the skills of China. Eventually, he became a powerful country and passed it down for hundreds of years.

If you want to learn science, it is important to emphasize learning and teaching, but it is equally important to communicate with each other.

Just like the Ming Dynasty, which the descendants lamented many times, if it was not forbidden to ban the sea, it might not be able to escape the fate of destruction in the end, but it can at least prolong the country for a hundred years, right?

Shaking his head to get rid of these unrealistic ideas, Kong Ming duan copied down the so-called medical dogma.

Although it is a medical dogma, Kong Ming can see it at a glance, and its rigorous steps can also be used in all aspects of engineering, scholarship, and politics.

Zhang Zhongjing on the side naturally didn't need to say much. Kong Ming looked over and saw the old man's eyes narrowed with joy.

Facing Kong Ming's gaze, Doctor Zhang said generously:

Before, I was still attached to the stability of Chengdu, but was afraid of the thousand-mile journey out of Shu.

Now it seems that even if it is five thousand miles away from Sichuan, we should still walk this road diligently.

These words made the hall laugh, and Kong Ming couldn't help but smile.

He knew even more deeply that before the light curtain had talked in general terms, what he said had very little to do with medicine.

Chengdu had a completely new look after one year of operation, and the climate was much more comfortable compared to the bitter cold in the north. It was understandable that the old miracle doctor did not want to leave.

But I didn't expect that Dechuan would not only become one of the protagonists of the roll call, but his medical advice would be even better than before.

And this medical dogma is probably no better than the rain coming after a long drought when Doctor Zhang wrote Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases, so the eyes that rarely smile are gone.

In the joyful atmosphere, Jian Yong's face turned slightly bitter.

He had previously said that he would like to go to Rome when the world is at peace, but according to Guangmu, the chaos in Rome is not inferior to that of the Han Dynasty.

If we wait for peace in the world to set out, wouldn't we be abandoning peace and heading for chaos?

But now that he knew Rome, if Jian Yong didn't go to Rome and he was really unwilling to do so, he was in a dilemma for a while.

…

In the Manlu Palace, everyone who was familiar with the history from the late Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty looked at the troubled times of the Roman Empire in the distance, and for a moment they were filled with emotion.

The climate changes at the snap of a finger, and the empire overthrows in a hundred years. Fang Xuanling was disappointed.

For Lao Fang, the view of the universe and stars seen from later generations will be unforgettable in his lifetime.

The more I think about it, the more I lament the insignificance of the human body, even more so now.

How much did the climate get colder from the Han Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty? Although there are no specific records, we can still get a glimpse of it from the history and people's livelihood.

When the weather is warm, the snow does not stop in Mobei, and when the weather is cold, there is no big freeze in Jiangdong.

If the line that distinguishes the four seasons moves a hundred miles, a country can be destroyed and the world will be in chaos for hundreds of years.

Du Ruhui saw Fang Xuanling's sadness, so he gently patted the back of his old friend's hand:

In this case, it is even more necessary to reverse the fate of the Tang Dynasty.

How great is it that humans can conquer the eternal climate?

How great is it? Just four words made Fang Xuanling feel proud.

They are all veterans who have followed His Majesty in the troubled times. If they were afraid of the difficult situation, they would not be here now.

Du Ruhui smiled calmly. After all, according to the established history, he should be dead at this time, but since he is still alive now, he should be the same.

The ministers in the Ganlu Palace were just like this, Qin Qiong looked thoughtful, Hou Junji looked longing, Changsun Wuji licked his lips and regretted his previous decision to remove himself as prime minister.

Liu Rengui's eyes were full of eagerness to try, and Ma Zhou's expression was serious.

Li Shimin was deeply moved and sighed softly:

Stones from other mountains can be used to make mistakes and jade can be attacked.

Sun Simiao did not care about writing and writing quickly.

[In 249 AD, Mr. Sima Yi published a piece of fantasy literature on Luoshui that changed the direction of history.

As a result, in the era of the Three Kingdoms, Wei, the most powerful country, became the first to be eliminated.

In the same year, the second great epidemic broke out in the ancient Roman Empire, which was also in the turmoil of the Thirty Years. It lasted for sixteen years and once again killed hundreds of thousands of people in ancient Rome.

Because of the troubled times, many bureaucracies have been effectively shut down. The most complete ones that have survived to this day are only the written records of Cyprian, who was the bishop of Carthage at the time. Therefore, this great epidemic was also named the Cyprian Plague.

The record of this plague also bears a curious resemblance to typhoid fever: it began in the fall, tapered off in the following summer, and then ushered in another wave of outbreaks as the weather got colder, and so on.

It is speculated that this plague still came from Central Asia, and as people fleeing the disease began to spread to cities along the Mediterranean coast, about three years later, the disease successfully occupied the ancient Roman Empire again and began to do whatever it wanted.

There is no way to know the specific death toll of this plague. An Athenian scholar asserted that at least 5,000 people died of the plague every day in Rome at that time. This number is more like hearsay, because the records left by this scholar also swore that He said that there are two main ways for the disease to be transmitted: clothes and eyes.

What can witness this Western tragedy from the side is the report left by the bishop of Alexandria at the same time. This bishop recorded the changes in the number of people in the city of Alexandria’s public food rationing before and after the epidemic.

According to a simple calculation based on the numbers left by this bishop, it can be seen that after the epidemic, the permanent population of Alexandria decreased by 62%. Even if you include those who fled due to the epidemic, the number of more than 5,000 people dying per day is not an exaggeration, even if it is an exaggeration. many.

In addition, these Western bishops also recorded in considerable detail various symptoms caused by the epidemic, including high fever, bloody stools, general fatigue, esophageal lesions, hematemesis, limb lesions, and the late stage of the epidemic infection, which can lead to deafness and blindness, etc.

Therefore, we have made two similar predictions about the diseases that raged during the Cyprian Plague from clues.

The first is influenza, which needs no further explanation as it is still with us even in modern times.

The second guess is filovirus, the most well-known of this series being Ebola virus.

In comparison, the second possibility is more likely, because filoviruses basically have an incubation period of five to ten days, and the incubation period is quite difficult to understand for ancient people in both the East and the West.

This epidemic in ancient Rome was slightly different from the last one in that no medical pioneer like Galen tried to stand up and turn the tide. Everyone was helpless in the face of the epidemic. In the end, the epidemic in the East and the West ended up with the same goal for the first time. :

The great pain caused to ordinary people by troubled times and the helplessness of science have led to the vigorous development of religion.

In fact, you can get a clue by looking at the main records above, which are all bishops from various regions.

Therefore, it can be said that the epidemic has become the best accelerator for the achievement of church rule in the West. 】
