Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2202 Flower War (one hundred and ten)

As early as the day of Yongzheng's implementation of "reforming the land and returning to the current state", the "Miao Jiang" war had already begun, and a large number of officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners and Green Battalions were transferred into the mountains. It looks beautiful from a distance, but when I walk in, I find that there are many obstacles. Cavalry and war horses do not have many advantages here. On the contrary, the poisonous arrows and agile skills of the indigenous people are more suitable for the local environment of high mountains and dense forests.

Poison arrows are divided into three types. One is herbal medicine, which will become ineffective in two or three months, and it is difficult to treat if it hurts people slightly. The second is snake medicine. This medicine can be valid for several years, but it will only make the skin fester. , and there are medicines that can be cured. The third type is the so-called spraying medicine, which is the most threatening to the Qing army. Not only can blood seal the throat, but it will not fail after being stored for many years. One of its raw materials is the sap secreted by a curare tree grown in Guangxi. This life-seeking poisonous tree not only kills people, but the flesh of beasts shot with arrow poison is also not to be eaten, otherwise people will be poisoned, and even burning its branches will produce smoke. Can make people blind.

But there is a kind of bird that lives on this tree. They feed on the seeds of curare tree. This is the way many plants spread. The difference is that after the feces excreted by these birds fall on the ground, the toxicity will follow. The rainwater flows into the ground, where it is absorbed by the curare, which then poisons itself. It is for this reason that curare is very rare.

   The white pulp flowing from the bark is mixed with snake venom and then used as medicine. Even if the skin is not broken, the skin will fester and become incurable because of the snake venom.

Although the medicine is easy to obtain, the poison arrow tree is difficult to find. Therefore, Yongzheng and Qianlong both issued decrees to excavate this tree. People were everywhere in the mountains and mountains, just like the scene in the snake catcher's story. .

The snake venom itself will not cause the wound to fester, and the snake's fangs flow out a liquid like honey. As for whether the Miao people used "gu" when refining snake venom, no one knows. The powder has been used, and some people have come up with a method of "fighting poison with poison", smashing the big spider and applying it to the wound.

   This is obviously ineffective. Later, the guard Xia Jinzhong asked the local people to know a soil method. He needed to capture the snake vine and torment it with shochu. He used it to wash the wound first, and then drink it.

The ban on spraying drugs and eradicating poisonous trees did have a certain effect. However, when the Qing army also mastered the method of making poisonous arrows, they began to consciously protect poisonous trees. Even so, the battle of Jinchuan cost 70 million taels of silver. , while the suppression of the White Lotus Sect cost 200 million taels of silver. According to the tax revenue in the prosperous times, it can only be made up for four or five years without food or drink.

  The Yellow River and the Huai River still need to be managed, and refugees are resettled. There are miscellaneous expenses. It is almost impossible to form a navy to suppress pirates.

  The western style is like this. They feel that silk is expensive and want to wear silk, so they will try to get rid of their dependence on oriental silk. Mulberry leaves and mulberry trees are not suitable for all places, such as Napoleon's hometown of Corsica, but if ash trees can replace mulberry leaves, then he can continue his father's unfinished business, planting in Corsica. Mulberry rearing.

   She doubts this, do silkworms really eat ash leaves?

  Fortunately, he still has the spirit of experimentation. He knows that there is an experiment to be done. It is not just the silkworm that can spin silk and make a cocoon.

   How could she forget that Bonaparte had participated in the Corsican independence movement when he was young.

  After the French Revolution, people's dressing style changed from luxury to simplicity, which caused reliance on British high-count yarn, and also caused the follow-up problem of 1786 tariffs when the Amiens contract was signed. But the restoration of luxurious clothes will cause public opinion and become the second Marie Antoinette.

The former Queen's tailor who is currently working for Georgiana also has 18 female seamstresses. The change in dressing style has made them not only have no income, the former aristocrats have died and gone into exile, and their bills have not yet been owed. The tailors also pay the ribbon and lace suppliers.

   They were having a hard time now, but the seamstress didn't mention it, Georgiana didn't know what she was thinking, anyway, rococo-style dresses couldn't be seen in the palace anymore.

The education of girls is much more difficult than that of boys. Although Georgiana did not have a daughter, and her only daughter died shortly after her birth, she was a dean and witnessed a “prank” against Qiu Zhang with her own eyes. ".

The Ravenclaw girls hid her Christmas party dress like Luna's sneakers, and she ran to the owl house to write to her mother, asking her to send the new dress quickly, by the way Keep looking for the original skirt.

   Does this require thinking? Still need evidence? Oh, and no evidence is a false accusation.

In June of the twenty-sixth year of Kangxi's reign, according to the records of the daily life note, Emperor Kangxi suddenly boasted to his subjects that his sons were coming. On the tenth day of the first day, he took his subjects to the study. Check the princes' homework. There were seven princes at that time, and Kangxi picked up a dozen books of scriptures, threw them on the table, and then let the courtiers choose and told them that they could take any one to read to the princes.

Except for the eldest prince and the second prince, the rest of the princes are very young. It is not bad to be able to read those obscure classics smoothly at the age of five. Yinzhi also said a paragraph of "learning from things", but there is a prince who has been in the corner Without saying a word, he is the fifth elder brother Yinqi.

   The prince has been staying by the Empress Dowager Bolzigit's side all the time. This old lady is the kind of elder whose grandson says "Grandma, I don't want to study", and she also follows him and says "Okay, we don't study". Yin Qi has been growing up beside the Queen Mother, and has always spoken Mongolian and Manchu, but not much Chinese, let alone Confucian classics.

   Anyway, the scene at that time was quite embarrassing. In the later "Nine Sons Seizing the Inheritance", even the younger brothers joined in, but Yin Qi did not mix.

In the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, Kangxi suspected that the eldest son and Yinsi were conspiring to kill the prince. On the day Kangxi ordered Yinsi to be arrested, the ninth prince and the fourteenth prince suddenly came forward to contradict Kangxi and angered Kangxi, who was already restless. , Immediately afterwards, Kangxi grabbed the saber from the waist of the guard with a sword in front of the imperial guard, and wanted to chop the fourteenth prince to death.

  Everyone dared not move, just like when Jing Ke stabbed Qin, so many people were present. Finally, a pharmacist smashed Jing Ke with his medicine box. The others reacted and shouted "Wang Fujian" to Ying Zheng who was running around the column.

Just when Kangxi was chasing the fourteenth prince, Yinqi suddenly knelt to the ground, hugged Kangxi's leg, and shouted "Ama, calm down", the others only reacted at this time, all kneeling on the ground, the emperor only slightly Out of breath.

   Kangxi's evaluation of Yin Qi is that he has a pure character and a mellow person. Yin Qi's ending is also better, and he is safe and stable enough to be a prince.

   The legendary way to raise gu is to put a group of poisonous insects together, let them fight, and survive until the last one is the most poisonous.

   Curare is very poisonous, and it seems to be invulnerable, but its poison is so strong that it even poisons itself, becoming a victim of its own "success" (becomeavictimofitsownsuccess).

   Everyone has their own preferences, but Pomona prefers Hufflepuff, although they seem to be mediocre compared to several other academies.

   Sr. Watt gave his son Gregory everything he wanted, if only Gregory could open his heart to him, but he didn't realize what trouble his son was in.

  Gregory went to the same school that Old Watt attended. If Watt was an ordinary person, it would be fine, but Watt was a celebrity, and people would not feel like comparing Gregory and Watt's performance in school.

   Living under the fame of a famous person is actually very painful.

  It's hard to understand, and it's the "generation gap" between Watts and Gregory.

If Gregory had been assigned to her house, she might have told old Watt the problems he had, but she wasn't his "professor", and she didn't understand him very well. She thought that the problems Gregory had, maybe It wasn't his actual problem, it was all her speculation.

   So she won't meddle in her own business and evaluate other people's problems with educating children.

  Like Kangxi, he felt that his education was very successful, but Yin Qi, who he didn't care much about, was a child who could "share the worries" for his father at a critical moment. He didn't really want to kill the fourteenth prince, but he couldn't find the steps at that time, and the fifth brother gave him the steps to step down.

  Nick thinks that illiteracy is a big fault, but Georgiana thinks that illiterate people who don't want to think too much may sometimes understand some things that readers who think too much can't understand.

   is like many people around a round table admiring the flowers in a vase, everyone sees it differently from a different angle.

   She doesn't feel like she's right about everything, and she doesn't convince others to do as she says, and she's not very successful herself.

She just remembered Voldemort, his Muggle father had not raised him, in the movie "Farewell My Concubine", Cheng Dieyi originally had six fingers, and his mother couldn't support him, in order to send him to the theatre, After cutting off that finger, he cut off the finger to repay the kindness of his parents?

Actors refer to the audience as their parents of food and clothing. Thanks to their ticket money, they can make a living, but when they are acting, they want a "confidant". He or she can understand from the audience that the people on the stage are playing what.

   Just like some people like to be the conductor of a symphony orchestra, some people like to listen to chamber music, or they are the writers and readers that the Yin Yin people say.

   In the duel required by this story, there must be a winner and a loser, which is also what she hates, why it must be a winner.

   Of course, this is also the reason why Hufflepuff always fails to win Quidditch and the House Cup. They really don't have the will to fight. Isn't it good for us to be good friends together?

   No one will listen. People keep trying to become stronger in order to win, until one day, like a poisoned arrow tree, no one is the opponent anymore, only oneself can poison themselves.

   Prescribe the right medicine, detoxification is also to find an antidote, anyway, ginseng can not cure the poison of curare, but is a very common vine plant. Finon gave Dalí all the toys he wanted, and it's a miracle he didn't turn into a villain, probably thanks to the teacher who discovered his boxing talent.

   Fighting close opponents in the ring will make him stronger, but boxing makes him sore and doesn’t make Dalí as happy as candy and toys. Maybe the old chubby dun has now become a muscular man. Guess he will still be proud of bullying his cousin when he was a child?
