Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

While Zhu Di was launching the Western Expedition, Zhu Fan, who was far away in Goryeo, was not idle either.

A letter from Yang Xian made him focus on the Jurchen tribe dormant east of the Yalu River again.

When the King of Goryeo sent troops to attack the Ming Dynasty, he asked the Jurchens for help.

Zhu Fan's personality has always been to retaliate. Now that the territory of the fiefdom of Goryeo is finally stable, he can finally be free to deal with them.

Today's Jurchens are at best a slightly larger tribe, with a total population of only 30,000 people. They had even been beaten by Goryeo before.

This group of Jurchens finally survived the winter, and the heavy snow had not even completely melted.

Not far from the tribe, there were suddenly several loud noises.

The face of the Jurchen leader in the tent changed drastically because he heard that the sound came from Han firearms!
Ever since he returned from helping Goryeo to attack the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchen leader had been worried, fearing that the Ming Dynasty would send troops to settle the score with him.

This was especially true after Goryeo was destroyed.

But later, as time passed little by little, and seeing that there was still no movement from Daming, he finally relaxed a little and felt a sense of luck in his heart.

I thought it might be because the Jurchens were just a small tribe, living among the white mountains and black waters, and were ignored by the Ming Dynasty.

After all, how could a person hold a grudge against an ant, even if the ant bit him while he was sleeping?

Unfortunately, there is one person in this world who will never forget them.

For the Jurchen leader, now was not the time to think about this. He immediately organized his troops to prepare to break out and escape.

As for a head-on confrontation, I haven't even thought about it.

Even this thought never appeared in his mind.

There are less than ten thousand Jurchens, and they are invincible. It depends on who the target is.

These Jurchens had already deeply realized the terror of the Ming Dynasty's army when they fought with Goryeo against the Ming army.

It's just a shame.

The Jurchen leader had just mounted a war horse when a roaring cannonball hit him. With a bang, both the man and the horse were blown to pieces in an instant.

The leader of the Jurchen tribe who was killed in the bombing was called Tong Huihou, the ancestor of Nurhachi, the founder of the Later Jin Dynasty.

In the original time and space, his son Mengge Timur will be honored as the original emperor by the Qing Dynasty more than two hundred years later.

It's a pity that if we don't talk about Hou Jin and Qing Dynasty now, the entire Jurchen tribe may be exterminated.

In addition to retribution, Zhu Fan also had another problem, which was his thirst for bloodshed.

In the battle against Goryeo, he personally captured tens of thousands of people. This is particularly similar to Chang Yuchun, the famous founding general of the Ming Dynasty.

In the eleventh year of Hongwu, the steam train set off. This year was called the first year of the Industrial Revolution by later generations.

In the twelfth year of Hongwu, after more than half a year of fermentation, countless opportunities fell like raindrops on the land of Ming Dynasty.

The same is true for the tens of millions of ordinary people in Ming Dynasty. For them, this is an era full of opportunities and challenges.

They no longer only have the opportunity to change the trajectory of their lives.

After the start of the industrial revolution, various new professions and new classes continued to emerge.

The concepts of many people are also changing quietly. The imperial examination and the political service examination are no longer their only choices.

All industries are prospering, and the entire Ming Dynasty is prosperous.

Coupled with the frequent good news about Zhu Di's Western Expedition, everything in the Ming Dynasty was developing in a good direction.

But at this moment, a big event suddenly happened in the capital.

A major event that will affect the future pattern of the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years.

The emperor's grandson Zhu Xiongying returned to the palace from school one day without any warning. Not long after returning to the East Palace, he fell down and passed out.

And this day happened to be the day when Queen Ma came to the East Palace to visit Zhu Xiongying, so Queen Ma naturally took care of Zhu Xiongying and asked someone to call the imperial doctor.

Queen Ma looked at Zhu Xiongying lying on the bed and reached out to touch his forehead, which was burning hot.

"Why is it burning so badly?"

Queen Ma murmured in a low voice. Suddenly, from the corner of her eye, she saw some red rashes appearing on Zhu Xiongying's neck. He pulled off Zhu Xiongying's collar and saw more red rashes underneath.

Seeing this, Queen Ma suddenly thought of a very scary possibility, and her expression immediately changed.

At this moment, Crown Princess Chang rushed over after hearing the news that her son had passed out. However, before she even stepped into the house, she was directly stopped by Empress Ma.

"From now on, no one can come in except the imperial physician!"

Queen Ma stood up and came to the palace door. She looked at Mrs. Chang at the door and said loudly.

"Queen mother, how is Xiongying?" Chang asked anxiously.

"We'll wait until the doctor comes." Queen Ma walked to the house and closed the door. "Yu'er, go and guard the door."

"Yes, Queen."

Not long after, the doctor from the Imperial Hospital finally arrived.

"Empress!" After a diagnosis, the imperial doctor suddenly stood up and knelt down.

"How is it? What disease does the emperor's eldest grandson have?" Queen Ma asked.

"To the empress, the emperor's eldest grandson, the emperor's eldest grandson"

"Say it quickly!" Queen Ma said coldly, how long has it been since she did this?

"Replying to the queen, the emperor's eldest grandson is suffering from pox, and the condition is dangerous. I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid." Speaking of this, the imperial doctor could no longer say anything, and just kept kowtowing.

Queen Ma's vision went dark and she almost fainted.

The scene that I least expected to see did happen.

However, Queen Ma quickly calmed down and informed the imperial physician and Yu'er to completely isolate the palace where she and Zhu Xiongying were staying to prevent more people from being infected.

At the same time, let Yu'er follow him out.

Queen Ma and Zhu Xiongying were the only two people left in the whole room.

After all the arrangements were made, Queen Ma turned to look at Zhu Xiongying who was lying in pain on the bed, and cried out distressedly over and over again: "Xiongying, Xiongying"

At this time, Zhu Biao, who was returning from the court meeting, suddenly saw Crown Princess Chang rushing towards her. "Your Highness, Your Highness, I have never done anything evil in my life. You said that I am a hero. My hero is still so young. How could he get such a serious disease?" Crown Princess Chang hugged Zhu Biao who rushed back and cried bitterly.

Zhu Biao looked at Crown Princess Chang's eyes, which were red and swollen, and she had obviously cried a lot.

The concubine Lu on the side quickly spoke to Zhu Biao about Zhu Xiongying's current situation and the fact that Queen Ma was alone in the house to take care of him.

Zhu Biao wanted to go in and see his son, but was blocked outside.

Looking at the closed door, Zhu Biao felt like his heart was on fire.

him at the moment.

I just wanted to give myself a slap in the face.

If I had known this, I would never have agreed to Zhu Xiongying's study abroad.

Studying? School!
Zhu Biao suddenly thought of something, his face changed drastically, he immediately called the guards and asked them to take his orders out of the palace, and immediately quarantined the entire elementary school where Zhu Xiongying studied. Not only the school, but also the families of students studying in that school who may have come into contact with Zhu Xiongying must be quarantined.

If Zhu Xiongying contracted pox at school, it means that the source of infection is in the school. If the source of infection is allowed to spread throughout the capital, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"What's wrong with the emperor's eldest grandson! What's wrong with the emperor's eldest grandson!"

Not long after, after hearing the news, Zhu Yuanzhang rushed over in a hurry, but was also blocked outside.

After hearing that Queen Ma was also inside, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were bloodshot, and he walked back and forth outside the palace gate like a violent lion.

He was the one who gave the nod to the idea of ​​Zhu Xiongying leaving the palace to study.

If something happens to Zhu Xiongying, how can he be worthy of his son Zhu Biao, and how can he be worthy of himself.

Zhu Xiongying is not only his grandson, but also the third-generation crown prince whom he has great expectations for!

If Zhu Xiongying is really defeated, the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty will also suffer a huge setback.

In the 276-year history of the Ming Dynasty in the original time and space, there was only one Zhu Xiongying who was born as the eldest son of the crown prince, and his grandfather was the eldest grandson of the current emperor.

Although the good sage grandson Zhu Zhanji is also the eldest grandson, there is a big gap compared with Zhu Xiongying. Because when Zhu Zhanji was born, his father was only the son of Yan, and his grandfather was just the king of Yan. If there hadn't been that Jingnan War, he would have been the third King of Yan in the future. We can see that Zhu Zhanji has always been called the emperor's eldest grandson in "Taizong Records" and has never been called the emperor's eldest grandson.

In the original time and space, it was precisely because of Zhu Xiongying's death that the gears of history were pushed forward, pushing history to a completely different situation.

If Zhu Xiongying had not died young, there would have been no Jingnan War and Yongle Emperor Zhu Di in the future.

If Zhu Xiongying was still alive, when Zhu Biao passed away in the 25th year of Hongwu in the original time and space, Zhu Xiongying would have been over nineteen years old. Even if he succeeded to the throne immediately, he would no longer be regarded as the young master.

Unlike Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Xiongying, as the legitimate eldest grandson of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, would have no doubts about inheriting the throne.

Moreover, Zhu Xiongying, who is already nineteen years old, has enough ability and strength to take over the political team left by his father, and these people naturally include his uncle, Liang Guogong Lan Yu, uncle, founding Duke Chang Sheng and others. In other words, the "Blue Jade Case" that paved the way for Zhu Yunwen's ascension to the throne would not have happened, and even the old father-in-laws of Song Duke Feng Sheng, Ying Duke Fu Youde, Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi and other princes would not have to sacrifice.

When Zhu Yuanzhang died in the 25st year of Hongwu, Zhu Xiongying was already years old, an age when he was in the prime of life and could show off his talents. Even in the worst case scenario, he was as stupid and violent as his younger brother Zhu Yunwen to cut down the feudal vassal. His fourth uncle, King of Yan Zhu Di, also raised troops to quell Jingnan as in history. He faced the imperial army led by Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen, and faced Song Guogong Feng Sheng and Ying Guo. Will the imperial army led by Duke Fu Youde and Liang Guogong Lan Yu have the same combat difficulty?
Moreover, as an emperor with military power, Zhu Xiongying did not need to cut down the vassals at all, because the strength of the imperial court was far stronger than that of the vassal kings everywhere. He only needed to let these uncles do their best to guard the borders for the Ming Dynasty.

This shows the importance of Zhu Xiongying to the Ming Dynasty.

And if he had not really placed such great expectations on Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have agreed to his leaving the palace to study.

When Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, father and son, thought about the possibility of being separated from Zhu Xiongying forever, their hearts felt as painful as a knife.

Everyone present knew the horror of the plague.

Especially this acne.

Basically, as long as it is contaminated, life or death depends entirely on God's will!

And the mortality rate is extremely high!
Now it's not just Zhu Xiongying. Queen Ma, who chooses to stay inside to take care of Zhu Xiongying, is also in extremely danger.

When they thought about the possibility of losing two of the most important people in their lives in succession, it would be strange for Zhu Yuanzhang and the others not to react violently. It was precisely this that affected their judgment.

Now that I have calmed down a bit.

Zhu Biao was the first to react. He asked people to go to Yangzhou immediately to invite Duke Yang Guo to the capital.

After the New Year, Yang Xian returned to Yangzhou again.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, since Yang Xian was able to cure Tiande before, he will definitely be able to cure Xiongying this time. He will definitely be able to cure him."

No matter how developed the transportation is.

A round trip from the capital to Yangzhou always takes time.

There was only Queen Ma in the palace where Zhu Xiongying was, and of course the imperial doctor from before, who needed to stay to boil the medicine.

In the end, Yu'er ignored the dissuasion and followed in to take care of Queen Ma.

Yangzhou.

After getting the news from the capital, Yang Xian's expression condensed.

We must know that in the original time and space, Zhu Xiongying contracted smallpox because he followed Zhu Biao out for inspection. And the time should be delayed for two years, so Yang Xian was not in a hurry to promote cowpox.

Right now, neither the time nor the place is right.

But now Zhu Xiongying still got smallpox.

In Yang Xian's view, that is to say, Zhu Xiongying will get smallpox no matter what. It has nothing to do with time and place, it can only be related to people.

In other words, this was entirely a man-made disaster.

If Yang Xian had not intervened, in this life and the direction of history, Zhu Xiongying and Queen Ma would both have died.

You must know that smallpox was a highly contagious and incurable disease in ancient times.

Historically, the two grandsons, Queen Ma and Zhu Xiongying, died only three months apart. It is reasonable that they were infected with smallpox because they took care of their grandson Zhu Xiongying.

If Zhu Yuanzhang loses his two closest relatives, his first wife and his legitimate grandson, in a short period of time, Yang Xian can fully imagine what he will do based on his character.

It will make Emperor Hongwu become even more extreme!

And this is fatal to today's Ming Dynasty.

Of course, with the system in hand, even if he didn't inoculate cowpox in advance, Yang Xian was still sure to cure Zhu Xiongying's smallpox.

Smallpox is a severe infectious disease caused by the variola virus. It is common but infrequent. Patients will develop fever, rash and other symptoms after infection. In ancient times, it would make people feel hopeless, but in modern times, as long as you face the disease correctly and take active treatment, you can be cured.

Drugs used to treat smallpox mainly include antiviral drugs and antibiotics. (End of chapter)
