1293 Minhou
The executor of the vowel test, Emperor Chongzhen, actually had a candidate in his mind. This candidate is Qian Fugui, who is about to return to the Ming Dynasty.
Thinking back then, I promised Qian Fugui to be a good inner supporter, so I would like to give him a future of returning home in glory. However, the matters he is an inner supporter are not convenient to be made public. Therefore, his contributions are destined to be known only by a small number of people. If this is the case, the first one is not easy to reward, and the second one is not enough to allow Qian Fugui to return home in glory.
Therefore, if you give Qian Fugui the merit of growing cowpox to prevent smallpox and give Qian Fugui the excuse of this merit to give Qian Fugui a title. Moreover, everyone, including descendants, will remember Qian Fugui and be grateful to him.
If this credit is really compared, it is obviously greater than the credit of being an undercover agent. It is good to him, his family, and others!
In addition, there is another reason for giving this credit to Qian Fugui.
This time, Emperor Chongzhen made great publicity, not only military merits, but also royal relatives and relatives received titles. As long as he benefits the country and the people and makes great contributions, he is willing to win titles. The reason for this is to encourage the enthusiasm of the people of the Ming Dynasty, so that they can be more motivated to make achievements and be a person who is truly useful to the Ming Dynasty.
And the best effect of this is to set an example. Chen Shigong's example is not enough, so you need another one.
Just imagine, Qian Fugui was not a doctor or a famous doctor before. He just paid attention to his observations and found that the milking person had smallpox for a while. From this, he began to think about it and finally found that growing cowpox could prevent smallpox. Once such a thing spread, it would definitely give everyone in the Ming Dynasty, including those who think they are very ordinary. Maybe he could observe and think more, and he could also have luck in doing a great thing and be awarded the title!
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen talked about Qian Fugui privately and told Qian Fugui about this situation. Through chat groups, it can be said that no one else would know about this matter except for Emperor Chongzhen and Qian Fugui. Cooking cowpox can prevent smallpox, which is actually the credit of Emperor Chongzhen.
After hearing this, Qian Fugui was so excited that he was so excited. He naturally could tell the difference between the great credit and the good reputation. He threw such a great credit to him, and suddenly, he forgot to go out of the sky day and night when he was scared.
The war in Japan continued. By the beginning of October, the Ming army had advanced to Sendai. The reason why it took only a few months to advance here was not that the Ming army was able to conquer and fight well. More credit was actually food.
More and more soldiers under Daming were fleeing and the people fled to the Ming army. Later, in order to get rewards from the Ming army and to live a better life after surrendering to the Ming army, the lower-level figures of the hostile forces of the Ming army often rebel and sent their Daming to surrender to the Ming army.
Therefore, later on, the Ming army basically stopped taking the initiative to conquer cities and land, as a strategic deterrent force. When dealing with the Japanese, the Japanese were basically still used to deal with the Japanese. The people who defected to the Ming Dynasty could survive in the form of disaster relief. The captive leaders, like Daming, were used by Emperor Chongzhen to use the method pioneered by Emperor Chongzhen, and then handed them to the angry Japanese to kill them with their own hands; while other soldiers were taken to Shijian Yinshan to dig silver mines, and also dig sulfur mines and other resources.
Sendai is a place that is loyal to the Tokugawa Shogunate. The daimyo here is Masamune Ida. After going through the Warring States Period, he surrendered to Tokugawa Ieyasu, so he was named Sendai and was the first daimyo.
In the original history, he died of illness in the ninth year of Chongzhen. Before his death, the contemporary shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu was waiting in front of the clinic. However, in this plane, due to the civil strife in our country, there were many concerns, especially the raid of Haoge, making Tokugawa Iemitsu's head into a chamber pot, and putting the emperor on the ground. These things all hit Masamune Ida, several months earlier than in history. Before the Ming army arrived, they died.
Ida Masatozo, the son of Ida Masatozo, was appointed to become the second generation daimyo in Sendai. In history, Ida Tadazozozo, who was named "the famous king of the preservation", had no way to focus on the chaos.
It is said that Haoge led the Emperor to flee north. After fighting with Ida Tada Sect, both sides suffered heavy losses. Then Haoge continued to flee north, but Ida Tada Sect was rebelled by his people, opened the door to welcome the Ming army, and almost occupied the Sendai area without bloodshed.
Going further north is the Ouyu Mountains, which are difficult to walk on the road, and there are no important towns in the north. In addition, the weather is already cold, so he ordered the Ming army to stop advancing. As for whether those Japanese who wanted to make contributions would continue to seek opportunities to make contributions north, he would not worry.
When he was stationed in this immortal platform, Lu Xiangsheng unexpectedly learned something.
In the 41st year of Wanli (that is, 1613), in order to trade with foreign countries, Sendai Daming Masamune Masamune invited missionaries to send envoys to sail on the Western-style sailboat Sanfan made by Sendai. The envoy's deputy envoy was the retainer, Takakura, who crossed the Pacific Ocean, landed in Acapulco, Mexico, and then crossed the Atlantic Ocean, arrived in Madrid, Spain, and finally arrived in Rome, Italy. It took a total of seven years to return to Japan.
Lu Xiangsheng knew that Emperor Chongzhen was interested in America, and the first advance fleet he sent was also sent here. From the incident on Sintai, the emperor's idea of crossing the ocean to reach America was also practical examples in Japan, which shows that it is completely feasible.
So he reported the matter through the chat group.
Emperor Chongzhen just smiled at this. He could contact the first advance fleet from time to time through the chat group. He knew that the advance fleet was lucky at this time and had landed calmly in North America. It was located in San Francisco in later generations and was establishing the Ming Dynasty's first base in North America.
Based on the current situation of Japan, Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to let Qian Fugui, Wu Daji and others return to the Ming Dynasty with important prisoners such as Dorgon. Lu Xiangsheng had to continue to take charge of Japan, and he had to wait until several vassal kings who were granted Japan arrived in Japan and divided them into specific territory and would not come back after the handover was completed.
Among them, Wu Daji returned to North Korea and did not enter Beijing immediately. Qian Fugui was arranged by Emperor Chongzhen to go to Liaodong first, and found cows with cowpox in a place with herds of cattle and horses. He only needed a few experiments and arrived at the capital with the results before the New Year.
Before he arrived at the capital, Dorgon and others had been escorted to the capital first. The capital had not been lively for a long time. Therefore, when I was worshiping the heroes at the end of the year, when I learned that the remnants of the Qing Dynasty and the pseudo-Emperor Dorgon was to be used to pay tribute to the heroes, the people of the whole city were dispatched again. Now there are fewer and fewer things like the remnants of the Qing Dynasty, and they will disappear if they don’t look at it in the future.
Compared to the past, the people in the capital are no longer surprised by the Ming Dynasty capturing the leader of the Qing Dynasty. With the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty, the remnants of the Qing Dynasty are just clowns.
Therefore, this time, although there were many people watching it, it was not that sensational. After reading it, it was over. At most, I would like to give my relatives and friends a tip to tell me that another enemy had received the retribution they deserved.
On the topic of the remnants of the Qing Dynasty, the people in the capital focused on Dorgon and others. They did many evil things in Japan, and were caught by the Japanese and castrated them. It can be seen that good and evil will be rewarded in the end. It was not that they did not repay them before, but that time was not here.
When Qian Fugui came to Beijing, he was in this context. Most people were still busy having a good New Year.
Qian Fugui, who arrived in the capital, couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
Back then, he was in the capital, and Yongping Prefecture was looted by Jianlu. At that time, he remembered very clearly that the Ming Dynasty was not so prosperous at all. Every time at the end of the year, there were always people who wanted to freeze to death, and there were always people who were frowning for the New Year.
But now, he hasn't been back for many years. When he came back on the way, he passed by Yongping Mansion. At that time, he didn't dare to be Yongping Mansion.
When he left Yongping Mansion, he remembered very clearly that Jianlu burned Yongping Mansion with a torch, and even drove the old and weak outside the city to die. But now, not only has the previous prosperity restored, but it has become even worse. I really can't recognize it.
And in the capital, seeing the people's wealth and peace, when he had just returned from Japan, when he recalled the current situation of the Japanese, and even when he was with Haoge, he could not help but feel the most moved and realized how happy the people are now, the Ming Dynasty is now.
However, Qian Fugui didn't have much time to sigh. Emperor Chongzhen considered him and asked him to go to the Ministry of Rites as soon as he arrived in the capital.
Officials at the Ministry of Rites are busy. After all, by the end of the year, we have to summarize this year and plan next year, and no one has any time to spare.
However, when Qian Fugui appeared in front of the yamen, and the servants at the yamen, and the officials and people passing by, loudly said that he had a way to solve the smallpox, everyone exploded. Even Sun Yuanhua, the Minister of Rites, rushed to the yamen and asked Qian Fugui excitedly: "You said you can solve the smallpox, do you think this is the truth?"
Smallpox threatened everyone, regardless of wealth or wealth, and it was precisely because of this that the example given by Emperor Chongzhen at that time was smallpox.
Qian Fugui faced the onlookers, including the Minister of Rites with a high status, ordinary officials, and the people passing by. The number is so large, three floors inside and three floors outside. If it were ordinary people, he would have been stage frightened long ago, and he had seen such a formation.
However, Qian Fugui has already experienced it. He has never seen any kind of situation. His experience in Cao's camp and in Han can make him unsurprising. Therefore, in the face of such a situation, he still answered calmly: "Sir, since the villain has come to the capital, he is sure. Even if he has great courage, he will not dare to deceive the court or the Holy Lord!"
Sun Yuanhua was also very surprised by his neither arrogant nor humbleness. He immediately set out to arrange Qian Fugui and prepared to verify the authenticity of Qian Fugui's method.
This shocking news spread too quickly. In less than half a day, the other six ministries sent people to ask about the situation, and even the factory guards, the Censorate, etc. had arrived. However, no one expected that even the senior Ming officials who had talked with Qian Fugui in the chat group would not recognize him as the number one in the Ming Dynasty, and the secret spy who made the greatest contribution to the destruction of Jianlu.
Emperor Chongzhen also pretended not to know about this matter, and issued an order to let Qian Fugui prove his method in public.
So, the cows that were exposed to cowpox were found, and six death row prisoners were brought up, and one infected with smallpox was found. The conditions were complete, so they immediately started to test it in public. Five days later, the five death row prisoners who grew cowpox got along with smallpox infected people, but nothing happened. The death row prisoner who did not grow cowpox was infected with smallpox and was executed.
It can be said that except for Emperor Chongzhen, everyone is looking forward to a good result. Many people are even blessing the gods and Buddhas in the sky, hoping that this method will be useful. As soon as the best result comes out, not only will the capital cause a sensation, but even the whole world will be sensational (through the chat group system, the result will be informed to the world in real time).
One of the most threatening in human history was solved by an ordinary person who was unknown. This matter was not only shocking, but also shocking the person who offered advice. As Emperor Chongzhen expected, this topic immediately accounted for more than 90% of the topic of the New Year Festival, and no one was interested in discussing other matters.
Emperor Chongzhen also took this opportunity and immediately issued an order to receive Qian Fugui, grant him the title of the marquis of the people, and fulfill his promise.
Of course, by this time, bigwigs such as Wen Tiren and Liu Xingzuo had already known Qian Fugui's true identity. Therefore, these smart people did not believe that the matter of growing cowpox was discovered by Qian Fugui. Thinking of Emperor Chongzhen's various incredible inventions and discoveries, they had enough reason to guess, and it was not far from the real facts.
However, whether they know or not will not affect reality. At most, they will mention this matter in their words to their descendants.
Emperor Chongzhen was a reasonable person and knew what he was most looking forward to for Qian Fugui at the moment. Therefore, he did not try to keep him, so he asked him to leave Beijing immediately and rush home to celebrate the New Year.
Before, he arranged in a hurry, so he considered this.
I haven't been home for many years, and in many dreams, I think that I can return home in glory, and at this moment, it will come true. Money is naturally traveling day and night, and I think that I will rush back to my hometown to reunite with my family before the New Year.
The parents, wives and children at home, who are always in their dreams, are finally going to meet them.
