Chapter 120: Mobilization

Xia Hongsheng had already taken this issue into account when he decided to guide them to agree to send a special team, after all, the miasma in the forest is an unavoidable problem now, in fact, the development of Lingnan has been backward in ancient times, and the miasma is a major reason.

The so-called miasma is the poisonous gas generated after the decay of animals and plants in the tropical primeval forest, the miasma in traditional Chinese medicine, the toxic gas that can cause human diseases in the damp heat and evaporation in the mountain forest, the main reason is that no one effectively disposes of the dead carcasses of animals, and the tropical temperature is too high, which creates favorable conditions for the production of miasma.

In fact, because ancient people had very limited knowledge of miasma, they did not know the real situation. In fact, most of the miasma that causes disease is caused by mosquito swarms. A large number of mosquitoes with falciparum malaria bacteria gathered together to fly, and from a distance it looked like a black and dreary gas. Humans and animals are infected with falciparum malaria when they are bitten by them. This is why some people who have been to Lingnan will say that after seeing the smoke miasma in the forest, people will fall, in fact, the miasma is caused by mosquito swarms, and these mosquitoes can transmit falciparum malaria, causing people to get sick and even die. Historically, it was not until the emergence of microscopes in the West that a large number of microbial viruses were found in the bodies of patients who had been invaded by "miasma", and the invisible "miasma" disappeared from infectious diseases and was replaced by pathogenic microorganisms that could be visually verified by scientists.

In later life, Xia Hongsheng studied Chinese in university, and there was a folklore in it, and he followed his mentor to the primeval forests in the south, and he needed to inject a lot of vaccines in advance. Xia Hongsheng asked at the time how he could avoid being infected with malaria if there was no vaccine. I still remember that although there are some things that cannot be treated, they can be prevented, one is coix seed, which can be lightened after a long time, and the other is betel nut. It can also win the miasma, and the rest, such as realgar and atractylodes, are often used to burn and smoke, and can also remove the miasma. Betel nut is hard to come by now. But realgar and cangmu can still be found in pharmacies.

As a special soldier, this kind of thing naturally has to be learned, and Xia Hongsheng has already handed over all the knowledge he knows about survival in the wild to them using all the time spent in "night school".

"As special forces, they need to have military literacy and combat capabilities that far exceed those of ordinary soldiers. They need to master not only combat skills, but also how to deal with complex environments. Ways to avoid miasma infestation. It has already been taught in their special operations training courses, and it is time to test whether they have studied well. Xia Hongsheng arched his hand and replied to Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng nodded, and then turned to Li Shimin: "That is the case, the minister has no objection." Xia Duwei made this strategy, and the minister thought that he could give it a try. ”

"If the problem of miasma can be solved, then this law is indeed a great good policy, and the minister seconded it." The eldest grandson Wuji thought about it for a while, and also bowed down to Li Shimin and said, "However, the minister thinks that he still has to be ready to send troops. Just in case. ”

Li Shiqi also nodded: "Lord Eldest Sun is right, the minister thinks that while sending envoys and elite soldiers, he must also be prepared to send troops, and it is naturally best not to send troops, but if there is really a case, we will not be at a loss." “

Du Ruhui next to him also nodded: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is feasible, and the imperial court can prepare for the use of troops while taking the strategy of Xia Duwei." ”

Li Shimin is a master of Yingguo, after a little thought. He immediately made a decision and said, "Good! Then do it! He ordered Wei Shuhuan, a regular attendant, and Li Gong, a casual attendant, as the chief and deputy envoys, and went to Lingnan to convey my condolences to Geng Guogong. Ordered the soldiers and horses of the right military guard general Lin Dui and the rivers and Lingzhou to prepare. As for the decapitation operation. It is managed by Xia Hongsheng, the commander of the folded chong! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Everyone bowed in unison, and then they all left the apse, and went to work.

Coming out of the palace, Xia Hongsheng also had a new understanding of Li Shimin's boldness. For example, Xia Hongsheng's beheading operation is related to a big problem of the rebellion of the "King of Nanyue" in name only, and Li Shimin can make a decision in a short time and dare to give it a try. This kind of courage is not something that ordinary people can have. You must know that Xia Hongsheng came from the next generation, and knew that Feng Ang would not rebel, but Li Shimin didn't know! These ministers don't know, but they also dare to accept some radical methods proposed by themselves, perhaps, it is precisely because of such a bold king, and a group of ministers who also have courage and ability, that there will be a powerful Tang Dynasty.

Now, I'm one of them.

Xia Hongsheng left the imperial city and went directly to the barracks.

found Duan Zan who was training, Xia Hongsheng pulled Duan Zan and went to the camp tent.

"What's wrong?" Duan Zan looked at Xia Hongsheng puzzled, not understanding why he was so interested.

Xia Hongsheng smiled: "Brother Duan, you and I have got a chance, if it is done, before Liang Shidu, you and my brother will have a share of credit." ”

"Oh?" As soon as Duan Zan heard the credit, his eyes immediately lit up.

Xia Hongsheng informed Duan Zan of the matter in the palace, and Duan Zan was also excited to make a mistake. If those special forces team members do this, then Xia Hongsheng, as the one who provides advice, and Xia Hongsheng and Duan Zan are the ones who train the special forces, will definitely get a great credit. In Xia Hongsheng's view, the small contribution made Li Shimin realize the importance of special operations, and the ties between Datang and neighboring countries will definitely become closer and closer in the future, and Datang's territory will become more and more vast, large-scale military operations will gradually become no longer suitable, and small-scale special operations will replace large-scale military wars to play a huge role.

"General, what else do you need to prepare for the last general?!" Duan Zan was full of enthusiasm and asked with his fists clenched.

Xia Hongsheng thought for a while and said: "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, how are they familiar with the previous batch of equipment?" I also have to think about it again and design a few more equipment for the climate of Lingnan. The situation in the Lingnan rainforest is complicated, so let them seize the time to focus on memorizing and practicing the rainforest survival guide, especially for the poisonous animals and plants in the rainforest, as well as the knowledge of herbal medicine. ”

Xia Hongsheng has been using the night time to educate these special forces and scouts during this time, and there has only been a few days in between, Duan Zan has followed Xia Hongsheng to listen to the lectures, and he has also learned a lot of things, so he admires Xia Hongsheng even more.

"The last general commands! The last general will go and urge them! Duan Zan said.

Xia Hongsheng thought about it and said, "I'll say it." ”

The two walked together into the area that had been opened up separately for the special forces, who were training, and Duan Zan gathered them and stood opposite Xia Hongsheng. Now, Xia Hongsheng's endless tricks and their unheard-of knowledge have deeply impressed these people and won their loyalty.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have endured training far beyond the difficulty of ordinary elite soldiers, we have suffered so many tears, and we have suffered so many injuries, and now, the time has come to prove our own ability! It's time for us to make a name for ourselves! Xia Hongsheng said to the group of fierce special forces: "You are the best selected from the thousands of people, the difficulty of special operations training will be known, you have eaten and cried, the tears you have secretly shed, and the determination in your hearts, only you know it." What is it to pay more than others, even incognito, to learn all kinds of knowledge? In order for us to be the leader of the battlefield, we can be the sharpest blade in the army! Today, the opportunity has come, and His Majesty has agreed to the general's proposal to send a special operations team deep into the South Vietnam region to behead the rebellious Tan Dian units. If this matter is successful, the entire army of Datang will know that there is a mysterious squad that has done what only hundreds of thousands of troops can do! Your team, our Blade Special Combat Team, will be from His Majesty to the Barbarians, and everyone will deeply remember that you will become the embodiment of the God of War, invincible, invincible, and the cornerstone of Datang's victory! Tell me, do you have the confidence to complete this mission, which is related to the formation of the special operations force?! ”

"Yes!" Thirty people, their eyes flashed with excitement and fanaticism, but their momentum was like that of tens of thousands of troops.

"Good!" Xia Hongsheng nodded, and said, "Before leaving, I will ask you to seize the time to focus on memorizing and practicing the rainforest survival guide, especially for the poisonous animals and plants in the rainforest, as well as the knowledge of herbal emergencies. The danger of the Lingnan rainforest, Ben has already told you before, I hope that you will go to 30 people, and when you come back, there will still be 30 people alive. Remember, no one is missing, it's an order! ”

"Yes!" Thirty people shouted in unison again.

Xia Hongsheng gave them a lot of knowledge, not only the knowledge of combat, the knowledge of survival, but even a lot of natural knowledge. It can be said that these thirty people dare not say that they are the most knowledgeable, but they are definitely the most knowledgeable people in the Tang Army. The value of each and every one of them is immeasurable, and as the first batch of special combat personnel, Xia Hongsheng also expects that they will be able to implement advanced operational ideas and concepts in the army in the future, select and train more special combat personnel, and eventually form a special operations force, which is far more important than the head of a mere Tan Dian.

After inciting the emotions of the special combat personnel, Xia Hongsheng hurriedly went back to the camp tent, took a pen and paper and carefully recalled that there was any equipment for the special combat personnel in the future life. He really didn't want these people to lose a little, so he wanted to give them more chances of survival from equipment. (To be continued.) )
