Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 354 Establishment of Public Health and Medical System in Daming
Although Zheng Zhihu has been on the sea for decades, he is nothing but a grassroots bandit. When did he ever get on such a high platform, and when he saw Zhu Youxiao, the murderous aura of the bloody sea in the past disappeared immediately.

"Caomin...have seen His Majesty."

Zheng Zhihu's knees softened unconsciously. No one forced him to kneel down to Zhu Youxiao, but he still knelt down.

Strictly speaking, Zheng's Pirate Group is not a group with the purpose of rebellion. Perhaps they are a big family with special business, and they value economic interests more than political interests.

In other words, their political attitudes are ambiguous, and the hundreds of years of Ming Dynasty rule made them naturally think that they are being ruled, just like Song Jiang finally chose to recruit security. In their consciousness, this is the right way.

Therefore, Zheng Zhihu can fight the imperial fleet for the benefit of his family, but when he is controlled by the imperial court, he will also become submissive.

"Get up", Zhu Youxiao was a little displeased when he saw that Zheng Zhihu didn't directly say "please punish your majesty" because of his show, but "had seen your majesty", because it shows that Zheng Zhihu didn't say "please punish him" because of his own behavior. Putting on a show and saying "Hero Zheng", he was easily moved. In his subconscious mind, there was nothing wrong with his attack on the Beihai First Fleet. He might still think that he was just defending his own rights and interests.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao didn't need to stick his hot face to Zheng Zhihu's cold butt, so he said something lightly, and then sat back on the dragon chair with a wave of his hand, and asked with a cold expression: "Zheng Zhihu, are you guilty?" ?”

As an emperor, he can be courteous and corporal, but he must also have the majesty of an emperor. Since Zheng Zhihu himself did not realize that he was guilty, then he, the emperor, had to help him realize, at least let him know that he was guilty of doing so.

"Your Majesty wants to be killed or cut, it depends on how to deal with it." Zheng Zhihu kowtowed on the ground again, not saying that he was guilty or not, but only expressed that since he had been caught by the court, the court could deal with it arbitrarily, but for I have no regrets about the Ryukyu naval battle.

"Don't think that I really won't kill you!"

Zhu Youxiao suddenly rushed in front of Zheng Zhihu, stared at his big round black face, and said something in a cold voice.

Although the principal Zhu You is not tall and tall, with red lips and white teeth, more often he looks like a young scholar with a jade face, and only a few green beards under his chin, but when he stared at Zheng Zhihu furiously, Zheng Zhihu's inner heart was disturbed. He couldn't help but thumped, he had never felt a sudden strong fear like this moment.

Zheng Zhihu was so frightened that he stuttered and couldn't speak. As the biggest official he had ever seen, he was only the Chief Minister Xiong Wencan. When had he ever experienced the majesty of the emperor like this? He was still smiling at first, but suddenly became ferocious. Rao, Zheng Zhihu had seen countless villains, and he never thought he would lose his composure like this today.

"Zheng Zhihu", Zhu Youxiao felt a little proud when he saw Zheng Zhihu's face turned pale. From the change of Zheng Zhihu's expression before and after, it can be seen that this Zheng Zhihu may be available, so he asked one more question, and called it directly Its name, as a majestic emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it is the greatest courtesy to you to ask you again, how could he still say "Hero Zheng".

"Grassmen are here!" Zheng Zhilong replied.

"Do you know why I called you Zheng Daxiong?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

Zheng Zhihu couldn't help but thumped in his heart, and didn't know how to answer, because he himself didn't expect that His Majesty would call himself a hero when he saw him at the first sight. He didn't understand it now, so he could only He replied honestly: "Don't the grassroots know?"

"Hmph, you don't know your own crimes or your own merits, Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Zhihu, how did you live until now?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel amused, but he also knew in his heart that if Zheng Zhihu could answer fluently in front of himself, the emperor Zheng Zhihu won't be captured by his own people so easily.

Zheng Zhihu couldn't figure out what the emperor was going to do, so he could only kowtow again and said, "Your Majesty, please punish grassroots people to death!"

Seeing that Zheng Zhihu didn't say anything, and simply begged for death, Zhu Youxiao added a little bit of affection to him, and couldn't help laughing: "You just want to die!"

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao said again: "I will tell you in person, why you deserve the word "hero"! What crime have you committed!"

Hearing what Zhu Youxiao said, Zheng Zhihu himself became curious. Frankly speaking, he, a reckless and reckless general like him, didn't know much about himself. He naturally knew about his crimes, otherwise he wouldn't He would want to die with all his heart, but he really didn't know what achievements he could make, so when Zhu Youxiao said this, he couldn't help but prick his ears.

"In the fifth year of Tianqi, the red ghosts (the Dutch) invaded Matsu, killing more than 140 fishermen and destroying dozens of fishing boats. In a fit of anger, you burned all these ghosts to death in Zuodu Bay;
In the autumn of the eighth year of Apocalypse, the Frangji attempted to invade Jinmen, but you repelled it and seized three of its soft-sailed ships;
In this regard, you are indeed a hero, at least you have done some good things to the people of Ming Dynasty, but you will also plunder the fishermen along the coast, and even now dare to attack the fleet of the Ryukyu Kingdom that I am envoy to!This is not only disrespectful, it is tantamount to treason, do you think you can easily forget it by just losing your head! "

Zheng Zhihu never thought that his fight with the people of Europa was something glorious, and he never thought that these things would be known by His Majesty the Emperor, and he also said that what he did was a heroic thing; but when he When he heard His Majesty Zhu Youxiao mentioned that his attack on the fleet of the imperial court was like treason, the hope he had just ignited was suddenly extinguished. He knew that His Majesty would still not be willing to spare him, right? But he himself really has nothing to say, he has to do this for their Zheng family!
"For the sake of your meager meritorious service in expelling foreign barbarians, I can spare you from death, but you must belong to the imperial court, how about being a member of the imperial court?"

Zhu Youxiao only threw out an olive branch at this time, but the meaning was already obvious, I think you have some meritorious service, coupled with your benevolence, I am magnanimous to you.

But Zheng Zhihu did not accept Zhu Youxiao's kindness. When His Majesty Zhu Youxiao said this, he knew that His Majesty meant to let him be a lackey of the imperial court, but thinking about it would make his Zheng family fall into a passive position. , he still kowtowed, and replied: "Your Majesty, please punish the minister with death!"

Zhu Youxiao was taken aback for a moment, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart. He didn't expect Zheng Zhihu to be so stubborn, and even played loyalty with him. It's a pity that he is not Cao Cao, and Zheng Zhihu can't be counted. It was Zhang Liao, so Zhu Youxiao laughed directly when he saw this: "Forget it, I will fulfill you, Qian Qianyi, you go to draw up a decree, first send this Zheng Zhihu to imperial prison, and then handcuff him five times." Ten heavy shackles, let him go to the North Sea Fleet as an auxiliary soldier doing handyman!"

Qian Qianyi stood up respectfully and bowed to Zhu Youxiao, then retreated facing Zhu Youxiao until he exited the palace gate before turning to Xiangxinuang Pavilion, and Zheng Zhihu was also taken away.

Zheng Zhihu's mood is also very complicated. If Zhu Youxiao didn't say those few words about being a hero, he might have always simply thought that the only ending after being captured was death, but the person in front of him worked so hard that he was piled up on the dragon chair. His Majesty the Ming Emperor, who was full of memorials, would be so excited to see this little bandit waiting to be killed that he stained the dragon robe with ink. Foreign barbarian affairs to give myself a chance to step down, but I did not choose to obey the will of this majesty to act.

Zheng Zhihu didn't know if he had really angered the Emperor, but he had to admit that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was indeed unpredictable to him, as if he was even more cunning than his brother Zheng Zhilong.

However, at least one thing is expected, Zheng Zhihu's final destination is still in Imperial Prison, the most famous prison in the world today.

……

Unlike Zheng Zhihu's whereabouts in the Imperial Prison, the biggest hero in the Ryukyu naval battle, the governor of the North Sea Fleet, and the North Sea First Fleet's admiral Gu Sanmazi's home is in the hospital.

However, this hospital is not a private clinic, but a public hospital in the Ming Dynasty, which is a new word that has only recently become popular.

As a doctor in his previous life, Zhu Youxiao was most familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty with a period of plague history.

Undoubtedly, this period was also a period of high-frequency and intensive large-scale outbreaks of epidemics. Although he also directly gave birth to such famous medical experts as Wu Youxing, it was no less than a disaster for the Ming Dynasty. Disaster of chaos.

Especially in the original history, the plague that would start to ravage the entire North China in a few years later directly destroyed the last foundation of the Ming Dynasty's rule.

Plague is a severe infectious disease with a wide range of transmission and a wide range of transmission routes. However, once it is infected, there is basically no cure, and it can only be resisted by autoimmunity. Can survive the ravages of the disease, but most people will be killed because of this strange antigen.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao started to establish a complete medical and public health system in Daming as early as the eighth year of the apocalypse. Without the macro-control of the imperial court, a few famous doctors alone would not be able to deal with the raging epidemics in the future .

We must know that under the influence of the climate of the Little Glacier, it not only affects the way of life of human beings, but also directly causes a large number of severe infectious diseases and viruses that would not have ravaged and spread to come alive due to climate changes and perennial wars, causing the original The fragile ancient public health system was out of balance, resulting in the continuous emergence of severe infectious diseases such as plague, cholera, and smallpox.

However, Zhu Youxiao did not come up with any step-by-step methods for the construction of Daming's public medical care and health system. He directly invited or arrested Wu Youxing, Zhao Xianke and other famous doctors in the capital.

Don't underestimate these so-called famous ancient doctors. Their theoretical knowledge is not much worse than modern medicine. In particular, Wu Youxing, the founder who proposed the essence of febrile diseases, was the first in the history of medicine to propose that plague is caused by plague. The theory is that it is a substance that causes the plague, rather than symptoms caused by internal imbalances and the influence of external climate changes.

In other words, Wu Youxing completely negates the previous saying that treating plague is like treating typhoid fever. According to the understanding of modern medicine, what causes plague and these plagues is virus, which is the genetic material composed of ribonucleotides. Once these so-called viruses Invasion of the human body will parasitize in human cells and use components of human cells such as nucleic acids and proteins to reproduce their offspring.

As these viruses multiply and spread, they can completely destroy the human body.

And typhoid fever, which is often called wind-heat cold, is just the result of the imbalance of homeostasis in the human body in an alternating cold and hot environment. That is to say, this type of disease is not caused by external substances, but caused by a decline in physical fitness. symptoms.

Wu Youxing's greatest contribution is to break through the view of plague, and completely negate the traditional medical theory that plague, like typhoid fever, is caused by the body due to time, and believes that plague is a plague composed of fine particles floating in the air As a result, a series of methods to prevent the spread of the plague were proposed.

As we all know, although the epidemic is difficult to cure in a short time due to the strong antigenic specificity of the virus, once the transmission route and source of infection can be controlled, the epidemic can be well controlled.

Wu Youxing's theoretical breakthrough is to give Ming Dynasty the most practical and easy-to-operate plague control method, and also to provide future generations with the most effective plague control method. Great value, I have to admit that if Daming can make good use of such talents and use the government's organizational power to fight against the epidemic, it may be able to survive for a few more years.

In the Han Dynasty, there was Zhang Zhongjing's "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber", in the Tang Dynasty, there was Sun Simiao's "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions", in the Song Dynasty, there was Song Ci's dissection, and in the Ming Dynasty, there was Wu Youxing's "On Plague". It can be said that the whole of China has never been behind in medicine. In the long history of thousands of years, there are not many medical theories and talents accumulated, but what is needed now is to integrate these scattered medical accumulations and talents through the imperial court to form a system that can deal with various large-scale epidemics at any time .

However, a medical organization system that can deal with large-scale epidemics cannot be established overnight. Behind a hospital, there must be a medical school and its affiliated medical research institutions, as well as the public health service system and management system that the government should have. .

But generally speaking, the first step is to have a hospital first.

After Gu Sanmazi was brought into the capital, he was admitted to the first public hospital in Ming Dynasty, that is, the Royal First Hospital. Zhu Youxiao directly established the Ministry of Health, and Wu Youke served as Minister of the Ministry of Health and concurrently served as the official of this medical center. The position of Qing, that is to say, even if this medical center is of the same level as the third grade of Dali Temple and Guanglu Temple.
