For most people, crossing Taiwan is not a matter of celebration.

Because in the eyes of people on the southeast coast, Taiwan often represents shipwreck, miasma, and headhunters.

Taiwan seems to be very close to the mainland, and the Taiwan Strait is not wide, but in fact, crossing the sea from Fujian to Taiwan is much more difficult than going to Ryukyu or Luzon.

It is mainly related to the topography of the Taiwan Strait.

The Taiwan Strait is wide at both ends and narrow in the middle. Under the influence of terrain, the monsoon wind speed is faster than that of the East China Sea and South China Sea.The northeast monsoon blows in winter and the southwest monsoon blows in summer, so the channel from Fujian to Taiwan is often at right angles to the monsoon, which is quite unfriendly to sailing ships.

Crossing the Taiwan Strait is not the end, there is also the Penghu Waterway between the Penghu Islands and Taiwan.The submarine terrain of the Penghu Channel is complex, and it is called the Black Water Ditch.It is more difficult for ships to sail. If you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die, and you will be buried in the belly of the fish!

If you survived the shipwreck and got to mainland Taiwan by chance, then congratulations, you have passed the first hurdle.

Then enter the second level: Miasma.

The term miasma is more general, because it is a general term for many diseases.Like malaria, dysentery, beriberi, sand lice, hemorrhagic fever, jaundice, etc.Among them, malaria is the most harmful and has the highest mortality rate.

In the stereotype of the ancients, the south has been a land of miasma since ancient times.It is mainly located in the subtropical zone and tropical monsoon warm and humid climate, which makes regional infectious diseases and endemic diseases more serious than those in the north.The ancestors did not understand the way malaria and other diseases spread, and mistakenly believed that the mist, drinking water, soil, etc. between mountains and rivers contained toxins, which made people sick.

Taiwan, on the other hand, has both of these two climates, which means that, except for the native aborigines, most of the immigrants need a certain amount of time to adapt to the humid, hot and mosquito-laden environment near the sea.In fact, these diseases did not only appear among Han immigrants, as long as they landed on the island, whether it was the Dutch, the Spaniards, or later the Japanese, they all encountered large-scale outbreaks of malaria, plague, or plague.It is rumored that Zheng Chenggong died of malaria four months after driving away the Dutch.

Finally, those who enter Taiwan have to accept the longest and longest test.

hunter head.

As the name suggests, it kills you and cuts off your head.

The aborigines call this "grass out".

They killed people and took their heads home and put them in their homes or in the tribe's first shed as a sign of their military exploits.They cut their heads not for money, nor out of hatred, but simply to show their bravery.

Adults cut off their heads and hang them up.

Sacrificial ancestors cut off their heads and hung them up.

Even people from the same tribe compete to see who cuts off the most heads in pursuit of the same woman.

Nothing else, just this habit.

Just like setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, it is simple and natural.

Liu Neng told the people about the court's decision, but the news made them worried.

"Zheng Bing has been operating in Taiwan for many years, and his crew has very rich experience in sea navigation, so we don't have to worry about dying on the road. Moreover, Mr. Zheng said that there are special doctors on the island who will teach us how to prevent miasma.

I know that people think that the homeland is hard to leave.But right now those landlords are colluding with the government, if we go back to Zhangzhou, who knows if we will face retaliation.Zheng Zongbing said that people who go to Taiwan will be given five taels of silver.One cow will be distributed to every three people.Although it may seem dangerous to go to Taiwan, as long as we are united, we will surely break out of our own world! "

I don't know whether it was Liu Neng's impassioned speech that conquered them, or five taels of silver and cattle conquered them.In short, no one complained about the court's arrangements.

In fact, they really don't have to worry too much. Zheng Zhilong has traveled to and from the Taiwan Strait all year round and has already mastered a fairly safe route.If it is not particularly unlucky, the probability of shipwreck is extremely low.

Zhu Youjian also took this into consideration.

After giving the order to Liu Neng and the others to move, he immediately found Wu Youke.

Since Wu Youke took charge of Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau, it can be said that he has been very busy.On the one hand, he has to undertake the work of the Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau, and on the other hand, he has to study the two books given to him by His Majesty.

"The Plague Theory" inspired him a lot, and "The Barefoot Doctor's Encyclopedia" made him feel like a treasure.

Too complete!

Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, Obstetrics, Orthopedics, Ophthalmology.

And detailed records of each disease prevention, treatment and other methods.

Perhaps the treatment of all diseases is not the most comprehensive, but it is the most effective.The more Wu Youke looked at it, the more frightened he became, and he benefited a lot from it.

"Ambassador Wu, I plan to send a group of people to Taiwan. But Taiwan is plagued by miasma. I remember that there is a way to prevent malaria in "Barefoot Doctors". Have your two apprentices learned it? Can you send one to Taiwan to promote it? "

"Your Majesty, my two apprentices are ignorant, I should go there in person." Wu Youke replied after thinking for a while.

"Taiwan is far away, are you sure to go there yourself?"

"Your Majesty, the book you gave me has benefited me a lot, but practicing medicine is all about practice. I want to go there in person, and combine the theories in the book to summarize a set of practical preventive measures for the common people!"

"Okay!" Zhu Youjian stared at him for a while and exclaimed.

The so-called benevolence of a doctor refers to this kind of person.

"Your Majesty, I want to quit my job at Huimin Pharmacy and devote myself to the study of medicine."

"I'm ready."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Nachen will leave for Taiwan tomorrow morning."

"Go."

Wu Youke's resignation made Zhu Youjian feel a lot. There was Wang Zheng before, and the minister of the Ministry of Industry did not do it.There is also Wu Youke, who voluntarily traveled long distances across oceans to practice medical theories in barren lands.

Perhaps this is the power of faith.

June sixteenth.

Wu Ke set off again.

A group of four people, one apprentice, two coachmen, and two carriages.

In addition to daily necessities, there are two hundred bottles of artemisinin capsules.Of course, Zhu Youjian bought the medicine on Pingxi, just in case he needed it from time to time.

And at the same time.

Fujian Province

Quanzhou Prefecture

Zheng Zhilong is seeing off Liu Neng and his party who are about to board the ship at the pier.Today's weather is fine and suitable for going to sea.

"Liu Neng, this general still has official duties in Quanzhou, so let Zhihu take you there. There will be proper arrangements at that time. Remember to be careful of the aborigines when you get to the island. It is best to go in groups when you go out. Team, don’t be beheaded. At that time, you can form a guard of 100 people, and I will send you weapons. Also, be careful to guard against those red-haired barbarians, and don’t be bullied by them.”

"Yes, General. Liu Neng will never forget the general's kindness!"

"You don't need to thank me, this is His Majesty's will, if you want to thank you, please thank Your Majesty."

Liu Neng nodded, bid farewell to Zheng Zhilong and boarded the boat.

There are nearly ten thousand people in their group with their families.More than 20 ships, large and small, were used.It left Quanzhou in a mighty way and headed towards Taiwan.

20 days later

The fleet crossed the Penghu Islands and docked at Beigang.

There was already a supporter waiting at the port, and it was Zheng Zhilong's other brother, Zheng Zhibao.

"Second brother, didn't you encounter any big storms along the way?"

"Bless you, Mazu, the journey was relatively peaceful."

"That's good. Brother, did you say where these people are arranged?"

"No, brother said to let you look at the arrangement and choose a safer place."

"Okay! I'll think about it." Zheng Zhibao nodded.

Zheng Zhibao took Liu Neng with nearly [-] people and walked for another two days, stopping at a place with a large number of Han people.

"General Zheng, are you here?" Liu Neng asked curiously.

"Not yet. Let's rest here first and purchase some necessary living supplies. By the way, are there any of you who know how to build houses?"

"Yes! There are many."

"That's good, the place you will live in is not far from here, but right now it's still a wasteland, you have to build your own house."

"OK, no problem."

After shopping, Zheng Zhibao led them to continue walking east again.

The roads gradually narrowed and the fields became less and less as they got farther away from the Han people's gathering area.

Finally, it stopped at the edge of a wasteland.

"Here we are. You have to open up this place. There are nearly [-] mu of land here, which is enough for you to live on. There is a forest in the north, and the wood needed for building a house can be chopped directly. In two days, I will send someone to deliver the cows and tools. Come on. When you are working, you must pay attention to mosquito bites, and if you have nothing to do, don’t run up the mountain. Be careful of those aborigines, and be careful not to be cut off by them!”

"Yes! General! Before coming, Mr. Zheng said that he would let us form a patrol team of [-] people, and he also gave us weapons. As long as we take precautions, there should be no problem."

"That's the best!" Zheng Zhibao nodded. "If you need daily necessities and medicine, you can go to the market in the west to buy them. There is everything there."

"Yes, General! Is that the place just now?"

"Correct!"

"What's the name of that place?"

"Madou Society."
