A few days later, a dozen Ming officials arrived at the Arak colonial stronghold. Korbanda immediately seemed to have seen a savior and hurried over to take a look.
Shen Yao is a graduate of Daming Medical College. Although he is very young and is only twenty-five years old, he has obtained the title of senior doctor. He is employed by Sihai Commercial Bank and comes to West Africa to practice medicine and treat diseases.
Of course, when he came to West Africa, he was not only employed by Sihai 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 them are very terrible. Many of them are highly contagious and have extremely high fatality rates.
With the continuous development of the Ming Dynasty¡¯s colonial activities on the African continent, some diseases also spread to the Ming Dynasty, such as yellow fever, which even caused many deaths in Southeast Asia and other regions.
Daming Medical College has also been studying this disease, hoping to find an effective way to prevent and cure yellow fever.
If yellow fever cannot be conquered, then the colonial activities of the Ming people on the African continent will always be limited to coastal areas and will not be able to go deep into 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 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 most likely to be infectious diseases such as yellow fever, malaria, typhoid, and cholera, Shen Yao immediately started working non-stop. Come with your own team.
Of course, this is not because he is worried about the life safety of the Persians, but because he has found the subject of the experiment. He wants to see how the Persians are defeated by the diseases here, and to find the source of the disease and come up with ways to prevent and treat it. .
In the sick camp of the Arak colonial stronghold, there were so many sick people that there were no beds. Many sick soldiers could only find a place to lie down at will.
All kinds of vomit, excrement, etc. can be seen everywhere. The smell is extremely unpleasant. Flies and mosquitoes are flying everywhere. Painful groans are endless. From time to time, soldiers carry corpses out of the city.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Shen Yao couldn't help but frown.
¡°Don¡¯t these Persians even know basic isolation?¡±
"And why are the sanitary conditions here so poor? Even if people who are not sick come here, they will probably get sick soon."
Shen Yao and his dozen or so people covered their noses and mouths with white cloths, and then began to carefully check the conditions of the sick people here.
"Yellow fever~"
"Show off~"
"Typhoid fever~"
"Cholera~"
"There are all of them, and they are all treated together without making detailed distinctions. They are treated separately, and the conditions here are too bad."
Soon, Shen Yao and his men completed the inspection. The Persian was really unlucky.
"No wonder, tens of thousands of troops were wiped out in one fell swoop." 32牺如
Shen Yao looked at the injury camp in front of him and nodded silently.
On the way here, people from the Sihai Trading Company explained the situation on the Persian side in detail. After tens of thousands of troops came from afar to capture three colonial strongholds, they suddenly disappeared and were plagued by diseases. Can't move anymore.
"Where is Doctor Daming?"
At this time, Korbanda arrived in a hurry and asked hurriedly as soon as he arrived. Soon he saw Shen Yao and others, and he also hurried over.
"Please also save my soldiers, no matter what the cost." ãá reduce 75zhongwen.com ãá
Korbanda was really anxious. In just a few days, his condition became more serious. The same situation appeared in the three colonial strongholds he occupied. The disease was rampant. A large number of soldiers fell ill and died. Thousands of soldiers.
You must know that not many people died when they attacked the colonial stronghold, but this invisible disease suddenly claimed the lives of thousands of soldiers. What is even more frightening is that now thousands of soldiers have fallen ill and the situation is urgent.
If this continues, by then these tens of thousands will?This specific medicine for treating malaria is only produced on rare trees here in the South Golden Continent. The output is very rare and the price is extremely expensive. Even in our Ming Dynasty, it is worth gold. "
"There are also drugs for treating typhoid fever and cholera. Most of them need to be transferred from the Ming Dynasty. That is to say, we all over the world have the ability to raise sufficient quantities from various colonies and trading houses in West Africa. Otherwise, even if Even if you have money, you can¡¯t buy it.¡±
Li Jing looked at Korbanda with a smile on his face, as if he was sure of you.
Yes, it is expensive, but it makes sense. These medicines are scarce and very expensive. Only our Sihai Trading Company can raise enough medicines and items in a short time.
In fact, Li Jing did not tell the whole truth. Cinchona, which is used to treat malaria, originated in the South Golden Island. However, because it has miraculous effects on malaria, Tianjin Yuan Yuan Trading Company introduced it to Nanyang very early. Planted in large quantities around the world, it has already become a necessary medicine in hospitals and medical clinics throughout the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, Li Jing¡¯s words are half false and half true. It is true that there are only a few powerful trading houses and vassal states in West Africa that can raise enough medicines and supplies in a short period of time.
"Haha, there's nothing I can do about it. I won't be able to survive this stab."
"You Ming people are really evil-hearted, and you will find the right opportunity to make money."
"I gave you the money, but I have to issue an IOU, so please deliver the things quickly."
Korbanda looked at Li Jing and admitted with a helpless smile.
The 30,000 elite troops in hand are a powerful army built by Ismail I with all the strength of the Persian nation. They must not be lost here in vain, lost to invisible diseases.
