One thousand three hundred and sixty-five meat eaters are contemptible, laborers are expensive!

Revolutions should be full of passion, and should be full of violent and fiery emotions.

What is the revolution if it isn't like this?

As the founder of the mountain, Su Yonglin couldn't understand all this.

When the speech reached a fierce place, he kicked over the violent and cruel person who liked to whip the tenants for no reason and pour sea water on them to make fun of it. He stepped on his head and pointed at him angrily and yelled.

"The meat eaters are despised, and the laborers are expensive! You are not as good as others when you work with your own hands to obtain food and wealth? What contributions do these despicable people who do not work to the country?

What qualifications do they have to be high above? Stand up your chest! Stand up straight! Don’t hunch your back, don’t kneel down! Stand upright, and then, crush them and ashes! Take your things back!"

The farmers blushed and shouted loudly under Su Yonglin's encouragement.

Amid their roars, the Gao clan was sentenced to death and paraded in front of everyone. Then the extremely evil person was publicly hung and turned into a pendant on the southeast branch, fluttering in the wind.

The farmers blushed and shouted loudly. Amid the shouts of the group, the Gao clan was destroyed, and the oppressors who stepped on their heads were destroyed.

"This is the second time I have watched the Chairman lead the peasant movement with his own eyes, and it is still so shocking and inspiring."

After the public trial, Liao Xingye found Su Yonglin, looked at him with great anticipation, and expressed his excitement.

"This is really a blessing for farmers and a blessing for the country. Along the way, I have also seen farmers in many places take action, and it is so exciting."

Su Yonglin drank a large bowl of water with a thick porcelain bowl, then put down the big bowl, and wiped his mouth with a smile.

"That's right. It's not in vain that I've been thirsty for so long. Farmers always have to get up and participate by themselves. Only by getting up and participating by themselves can they have a sense of belonging and gain, and they can they have a sense of responsibility. In this way, they can truly embark on the road to awakening."

Liao Xingye nodded with a smile.

“That’s how it is.”

"Haha, let's not talk about it here, how about Nanyue?"

"As you expected, they have a tough attitude and have begun to prepare for combat. Army troops in Lang Son have begun to deploy defenses. This battle is probably inevitable. Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty's reputation in Lingnan will have great problems."

Liao Xingye whispered: "But there are also problems. Commander Zhao asked me to tell you that there were still some soldiers suffering from miasma in the army, and their condition was not good."

Su Yonglin frowned.

"How could it be? What's the situation? Is it serious?"

"It's not serious. The army has prepared in advance, but Commander Zhao will be worried."

Liao Xingye slowly told what Zhao Yucheng told him.

Long before the battle south, Su Yonglin referred to the past dynasties and what he knew about failed battles from north to south, and realized that the problem of unacceptable local conditions was the main reason for the sharp decline in combat power of the elite Central Plains in the southern tropical regions and was also the natural barrier for tropical countries to survive.

For example, the legendary miasma cannot be considered "qi", but it is a comprehensive title for the ancients to treat various extremely high mortality diseases that northerners suffered after they arrived in undeveloped and developed areas in the south.

The most direct source of miasma is actually the mosquitoes flying in groups. These mosquitoes carrying Plasmodium falciparum breed and live in the primitive jungle areas in the south. The number is extremely large. When flying in groups, it looks like a cloud of black fog, biting people wantonly, causing people to suffer from malignant diseases, with extremely low cure rates and extremely high mortality rates.

From the Han Dynasty to the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the north had always had the stigmatization of "miasma town" towards the south, and had various prejudices against the south, mainly because northerners went to the south at that time almost just to cross the gates of hell.

I don’t know when I get bitten by a mosquito and get malaria or other diseases, and the person is gone. From birth to death, it’s only a few days or even a few days, and it’s so scary.

After the Song Dynasty, especially during the Southern Song Dynasty, due to the objective development of Lingnan and the increasing awareness of miasma diseases among more and more people living in the local area, the increase in treatment and prevention methods have led to the stigmatization of miasma villages gradually disappearing.

The era where Su Yonglin was living was when northerners were gradually able to face the miasma in the south and use preventive measures to curb miasma. Therefore, Su Yonglin also made very sufficient preparations in advance for this Lingnan battle.

For example, two main combat corpses that participated in the war were stationed in the south in advance, including the Seventh Corps, which were originally the main corps of Jiangxi people, while the First Corps was from Shandong and mostly from Henan people. However, they were stationed in Jiangnan and fought for several years and were somewhat accustomed to the humid climate of Jiangnan.

Despite this, there are still many places to prepare for the army to enter Lingnan.

Before the war, Su Yonglin issued a military manual for the southward combat to the corps, requiring large-scale printing and distribution to the army to ensure that each team has at least two books, one captain and one deputy captain. Every soldier in the entire army must keep it in mind and strictly abide by the requirements in the southward combat manual.

The most important point is that you are not allowed to drink raw water.

Even if it is cooked water, it is absolutely not allowed to choose water areas without active water sources to get water. You must choose water areas for living water and boil before drinking.

The military station must be located in relatively open and lacking dense forests, especially avoiding swamps, stagnants, shrubs and other places and stay away from them.

If there is no condition, cut down the dense forest or burn it to create suitable conditions for garrisoning.

After the army set up camp, it is necessary to burn hot water, wash the soldiers' faces and body, and take a bath at least once every three days. When encountering a suitable source of living water, soldiers can go and take a bath. If conditions permit, they should also boil water to soak their feet.

A large amount of mugwort should be prepared in the military camp, and a place where camping for more than a day should be smoked.

Once you find that the "black gas" is approaching, immediately smoke it with mugwort, or ignite it, and smoke it with fireworks, and it will never be approached.

Once a soldier is found to have symptoms of malaria, he should be treated as soon as possible and the soldiers evacuated in the original barracks should be smoked in the original barracks.

Military doctors accompanying the army need to prepare enough medicinal materials and ingredients to drive away the heat of the heat in case of emergency needs.

Guangzhou searched for medicinal materials and doctors who could deal with miasma in advance, and transferred them to the army to provide popular science and medicinal materials for military doctors in the army, etc.

Su Yonglin even made preparations for the time of sending troops.

The First Corps and the Seventh Corps were stationed in the south and lived in the south for a while. They were familiar with the local climate and had a small chance of being attacked, so they were arranged to attack Guangdong and Guangxi.

The army commanded by Su Yonglin himself chose the southeast route because he was not familiar with the local climate.

Su Yonglin thought that after fighting Fujian and entering Lingnan, it should be November and December. This is also the winter in Lingnan. Even Lingnan has no suitable mosquito activities, high temperatures.

Without the help of high temperatures, mosquitoes will not reproduce and run around randomly, so the northern soldiers he brought were relatively safer.

Anyway, Su Yonglin was really prepared, so after heading south into Lingnan, the army was in a relatively good situation and did not encounter the threat of large-scale miasma.

However, judging from the current situation, it is still difficult to cure patients with difficult and complicated diseases such as malaria.

Despite making every effort and preparing relatively sufficient medicine, Su Yonglin has also received reports since the army moved south and learned that more than 300 soldiers in the army died of malaria, and more than 100 soldiers died of some other heat and fever diseases.

The military doctors tried their best to heal some people, but some people could not be saved.
