The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 217 Give the grandson [-] cavalry
Hearing this, Zhu Ying pondered slightly.

Among Zhu Yuanzhang's three decrees, they were all to prevent the spread of the plague, and the delivery of food was not to cure the plague.

It's not that they turn a blind eye to the people in the [-] counties, but that they have no effective means to face the plague, especially the plague.

In a simple sentence, just resign yourself to fate.

Life at this moment is really fragile.

"Grandpa, when my grandson was chatting with the businessman in Europa, I found a strange phenomenon, that is on the side of Europa."

"In such a huge plague, the cavalry hardly suffered any damage, and [-]% of them survived."

"So my grandson guessed that it might have something to do with the horses. The doctors who went to treat them all rode horses, which might reduce the chance of being infected."

Zhu Ying said.

This matter has not been proven. It seems absurd, but it is also in line with the natural law of one thing falling one thing.

The European cavalry was fine, and the Manchus in the late Ming Dynasty were not infected.

In Li Zicheng's army, many were captured in the barracks of the Manchus. It stands to reason that the Manchus would also be infected, but they didn't.

Hearing what the grandson said, Zhu Yuanzhang did not answer immediately, but gave Zhu Ying a serious look.

In fact, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he didn't really want to send someone to treat him.

All you have to do is wait for the plague to pass, and those who survived by chance will survive.

In the face of such natural disasters, no matter how many doctors are sent there, it is almost equivalent to sending them to death.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect that Dasun directly ignored this and brought up the matter of treatment instead.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It's okay to send people there, but the number should not be too many. You can try Dasun's method first and see how it works."

"If it is really effective, then we will send more people."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ying knew that this was already the limit.

The ministers also nodded, thinking that it was a good thing to do.

In the face of such a great plague, many things cannot be done with passion.

However, at the next moment, Zhu Yingying was surprised.

"Grandpa, there is something about this plague, and my grandson wants to go."

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang got up abruptly and shouted: "What!"

The ministers trembled, and with a simple sentence, His Majesty had already begun to fly into a rage.

"Grandpa calm down, grandson's words are not aimless, grandson will naturally not go into the plague area, all he has to do is to get a little closer to facilitate the command and arrangement."

"In the thirty cities, there are more than one million people, and it is still Henan, the Central Plains area since ancient times."

"Grandson's visit, on the one hand, can represent the imperial court's emphasis on this plague, which is conducive to stabilizing people's hearts. On the other hand, grandson also has some ideas about prevention and control, and wants to try."

Zhu Ying said with a calm tone.

The so-called gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, of course he cannot take risks alone, but the capital Nanjing is too far away from Henan, and the speed of information dissemination is too slow.

At any rate, in Zhu Ying's previous life, she experienced a super-large-scale plague that spread across the world.

In the face of the plague, or dealing with the plague, it can be regarded as personal experience.

Copy homework.

The Shenzhou in the previous life already had a role model, basically just copy it.

The plague did not have as long an incubation period as in the previous life. Basically, it only took two days to catch the plague, and then the people died.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat back slowly after listening.

I began to think about the possibility of letting my grandson go.

It has to be said that if the eldest grandson goes there, no matter what the result is, he can gain a very good reputation.

The people in Thirty City are close to 200 million people, and it has been the location of the Central Plains since ancient times, and it is the core of the cultural inheritance of China.

In most places, it is difficult to compare with it.

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Your grandson can go if you want. We will send [-] cavalry to accompany you. Dasun must promise us."

"After arriving at the place, you are not allowed to enter the city, so you set up camp outside the city, guarded by [-] horses, and everything can only be dealt with in the barracks."

Hearing the [-] cavalry, many ministers trembled in their hearts.

Immediately, he understood the position of His Highness the eldest grandson in His Majesty's heart.

In the 23rd year of Hongwu, the number of war horses in the entire Ming Dynasty was [-].

Statistics accurate to ten digits are enough to show how short of horses Daming is now.

This number is even lower than that of the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang even bought horses from the island country Ryukyu for war horses, which shows how scarce war horses were in the early Ming Dynasty.

In the territory of Ming Dynasty, there were not many horses, but what was lacking were war horses.

War horses are very different from ordinary horses.

First of all, the physique is different. The war horse has been carefully bred and eaten better, and its physique is quite good.

After a long distance running for hundreds of miles, it can still conduct a combat charge. Ordinary horses can carry goods and people, but they will fall apart if they run like that.

In addition, war horses have been specially trained to charge directly at people. Ordinary horses will dodge when they are about to hit people, but war horses will not.

It is said that at the end of the period, Li Zicheng added human blood to the feed in order to increase the bloodiness of the horses, so that the horses would be very excited when they smelled human blood on the battlefield.

The swaying method of war horses is also different when running. Ordinary horses bump up and down, which is very painful, but war horses sway from side to side when running, which is like riding in a cradle.

A clever knight can even sleep on a horse.For example, Genghis Khan's elite army can chase the enemy day and night.

When conquering Europe, Mongolian cavalry were called monsters who didn't sleep, because they all slept on horseback.

From the 23rd year of Hongwu to the present, two years have passed.

The number of war horses is definitely less than [-] at present, but with a swipe of a pen, Zhu Yuanzhang directly transferred [-] cavalry to protect Zhu Ying from the plague.

These [-] cavalry are the elite of the Ming elite, not only rich in battlefield experience, but also have brilliant records.

And the former commanders of the [-] cavalry were Xu Da and Chang Yuchun.

"Thank you grandpa, grandson will definitely not disappoint grandpa." Zhu Ying said with a bow.

He could feel the old man's concern for him.

In fact, when Zhu Yuanzhang made this decision, he was very resistant in his heart.

What he hopes more is that Dasun will stay by his side well.

Not to mention something as dangerous as the plague.

But Zhu Yuanzhang is not only Zhu Ying's grandfather, but also the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Ying is not only his grandson, but also the heir of the future Ming Dynasty.

The former prince Zhu Biao also had to visit places from time to time.

One is to understand the local situation, and the other is to have subordinates who are familiar with the place. Only such an emperor is the real emperor.

This is Zhu Yuanzhang's way of cultivating descendants, not only princes, princes, and princes.

In fact, as far as the current descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang are concerned, although most of them are in the vassal state, and their personalities are prone to major changes, but in terms of talent, each one is really not bad, and it is a bit higher than the average noble family. cut.

It's just that after leaving the capital, the culture and martial arts that I have learned are basically left behind, and I can play to my heart's content.

Anyway, according to the system established by the father, you can't leave the vassal land without summoning the vassal king.

After deciding on the matter, Zhu Yuanzhang did not introduce Zhu Ying to the five ministers, including the Diange University Scholars.

It is directly the eldest grandson, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson.

Although the ministers were very puzzled, they didn't dare to ask if His Majesty didn't speak.

After getting the old man's permission, Zhu Ying took the decree, led by Liu He, and began to prepare for departure.

As for the promise to Zhu Gaochi to play in the morning, it must not be counted.

In the face of the lives of more than a million people, the matter of playing on the Qixi Festival should not be too small.

If Zhu Ying went earlier, perhaps more people could be saved.

You can think with your toes that in the plague area, the rules that Zhu Ying promoted before cannot be implemented at all.

Zhu Ying, as His Highness the eldest grandson, seemed to feel like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer when he went directly to him.

actually not.

The first is the convenience brought by Zhu Ying's identity.

If he passes by, the military headquarters headed by the Huaixi generals group will definitely follow orders and will not cause any trouble.

The supply in various places will also be strengthened to a large extent.

Especially in terms of other materials such as food, no one dares to procrastinate. In terms of quantity, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely supply enough.

It sounds like going to a plague area is extremely dangerous, but it's actually not as scary as others think.

The decree went directly to the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army and the matter of mobilizing [-] cavalry, of course the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies had to arrange it quickly.

Sapphire also got the contents of the decree immediately.

Zhu Ying did not go to other places, but arrived together following the decree.

"Your Highness, you have to think twice before you go. The Plaguelands are extremely dangerous."

The first time Lan Yu saw the content, she persuaded Zhu Ying.

Everything about Zhu Ying now is closely connected with Sapphire.

Lan Yu knew very well that only Zhu Ying could maintain her own prosperity, and no one else could, let alone Zhu Yunqi.

Especially the list that Zhu Ying handed over made Lan Yu feel scared for a while now, but after thinking about it carefully, he knew that in His Majesty's heart, he had no intention of letting him go.

Neither Hu Weiyong nor Li Shanchang could escape, so would he still be able to escape?

Putting aside the glory and wealth, I am afraid that Qingqing's life will not only be saved.

So how could Lan Yu want Zhu Ying to take risks.

"You don't need to say more, Lord Liang. I think freely in my heart, and naturally I will not rush into the plague area. Moreover, my grandfather has arranged forty thousand cavalry to accompany me this time, and I will camp outside the city, so I will not enter the city."

Zhu Ying simply explained.

There was a hint of dominance in the plain words, which made Sapphire, who was about to refute, stop.

Slightly hesitating, Lan Yu said: "Over there, let the minister accompany His Highness to go together."

Sapphire was still a little uneasy, if she followed the past, at least at critical times, she could still persuade His Highness.

Hearing this, Zhu Ying just took a deep look at Lan Yu and said, "Let Chang Sen follow me."

Lan Yu's heart was shocked, and then she said: "I obey the order."

Zhu Ying didn't say that Chang Sheng, who has now been conferred the title of Duke of the Kingdom, but named Chang Sen. Naturally, he knew from other news that the Chang family's current arrangement for Chang Sen.

Speaking of which, Chang Sen still had a relationship with Zhu Ying.

Because of the previous incident on the banks of the Qinhuai River, he stayed in Jinyiwei's Da Laoli for a long time, nearly two months, and did not give up until Lan Yu returned to the capital.

This is the main reason why Chang Sen followed.

Those who have been severely beaten are generally much more peaceful.

This time I went to Henan to treat the people and isolate the plague. On the other hand, for some officials who took advantage of this time to hoard goods, drive up prices, and even ignore human lives.

Zhu Ying had no chance of being lenient, as if the [-] cavalry were here to eat vegetarian food.
