The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Hearing this, Huang Ming took a deep breath and said.

"Then let's go!"

Now that the other party's words have reached this point, it's hard for him to refuse.

You have to go with the other party!

Under the disappointed or resentful eyes of everyone around, Huang Ming boarded the carriage sent by the King of England.

Of course, the resentment was directed at the king, not Huang Ming.

Huang Ming was able to give them free medical consultations. In the eyes of many people, he was the kindest person in the world.

Such a good person will be coerced by the damn powerful to make an unwilling choice.

The damn world!

……

Huang Ming was quickly taken to the Palace of Westminster.

Then after layers of examination, it was brought to the bedside of the seriously ill Charles II.

Just pushing open the door, Huang Ming smelled a foul smell coming from the floor.

It's the smell of blood, excrement, vomit, pus, and pigeon droppings.

Huang Ming almost couldn't help throwing up.

But when he saw the current state of Charles II, Huang Ming gasped even more.

Charles II, who appeared in front of him now, had already been tossed out of shape.

Because of vomiting and being fed laxatives, Charles II was foul-smelling and lost his eyesight.

Because of the bloodletting, his already fair skin was now even more pale and scary, looking like a dead person from a distance.

His hair was also shaved, and his head was covered with burst blood blisters and smelly pigeon droppings.

At this time, Charles II was dying!
Seeing this scene, Huang Ming's calves trembled a little.

What the hell, people are dying, how can he be treated?
In case Charles II was put to death by him, maybe the embassy of Ming Dynasty would not be able to protect him, right?
Although Huang Ming was beating drums in his heart, Charles II didn't think so.

The moment he saw Huang Ming walking in, his eyes burst into a radiance.

"Yes... there is Mr. Huang, help me heal..."

Charles II spoke in broken Chinese.

Hearing this, Huang Ming squeezed out a smile uglier than crying, and said.

"Old man, do your best!"

After speaking, he went forward to check Charles II's pulse.

After a while, Huang Ming let out a breath of foul air slowly, and the expression on his face became much more relaxed.

From the current point of view, although Charles II's vitality is damaged, his vitality is still alive and there is still hope.

Huang Ming opened his mouth and ordered.

"Let's change the room for His Majesty the King first!"

"The air in this room is dirty and the environment is dirty. Normal people can't stand it after staying for a long time, let alone patients."

"Not only the room, but all the clothes, bedding, etc. need to be replaced with new ones."

"If possible, take warm water to scrub His Majesty's body to remove all the dirt on his body, and then the old man can start to rescue him."

However, as soon as Huang Ming said this, someone stood up and said.

"No, His Majesty the King cannot leave here!"

"This room was prayed and blessed by the bishop, and it is a place under the care of God."

The other person also spoke.

"Yes, His Majesty's clothes and bedding cannot be changed, because those have been blessed by prayer."

"Your Majesty the King can't wash up either, because those filth are a sharp weapon against the demons. Once the filth is removed, the demons will immediately invade..."

When Huang Ming heard this, his face changed suddenly.

Get up directly and say.

"If that's the case, then the old man can't save him!"

Originally, he didn't want to accept Charles II as a hot potato, but now that someone rejected his request, that's fine.

After all, Huang Ming turned around and wanted to leave.

Because he knew that if Charles II was allowed to stay in such an environment, he would definitely die, and he was unwilling to step into this muddy water.

Seeing this, Charles II coughed violently and hurriedly stopped him.

"Mr. Huang...please stay, I need...to be treated by Mr. Huang!"

When Huang Ming heard this, he turned his head very stiffly and said.

"If His Majesty the King wants to cure the old man, he must do it according to the old man's request."

"Otherwise, please forgive me for being powerless!"

If it was Charles II who he put to death, there is a high probability that the embassy will not be able to keep him.

But if the death of Charles II had nothing to do with him, it would be impossible for these English barbarians to persecute him.

Daming's toughness in diplomacy and its uncompromising attitude to the outside world have given many Ming people the confidence to hold their heads up high overseas.

Especially Huang Ming, who has a certain reputation and a certain social status, is not something that can be moved by foreign countries.

After all, Huang Ming stared at Charles II expectantly, as if saying something.

You refuse, you quickly refuse!

However, Charles II's reaction disappointed Huang Ming.

Compared with Huang Ming, a genius doctor from the East, Charles II has no confidence in his own doctors in England.

Originally, Charles II only had a mild stroke, but after being treated by a group of quack doctors, he is almost dead now.

Can this still count on Charles II to trust them?
Panting heavily, Charles II gave instructions to his entourage.

"Follow...follow Mr. Huang's orders!"

When the followers heard the words, although they were not happy, they could only follow suit.

Not long after, Charles II was transferred to a clean room.

His bedding and clothes were all replaced, and the stains on his body were cleaned.

Sitting by the window, Huang Ming personally treated the scalded wound on Charles II's head, and at the same time dictated the prescription for someone to fetch it.

Regarding the current situation of Charles II, Huang Ming did not directly start to treat the stroke, but first prescribed a few doses of warming and tonic prescriptions for nourishing blood and Qi, and prepared medicinal baths and diets.

I am going to help Charles II regain the energy that has been tossed away.

Waiting for the vitality to recover is to start treating the stroke.

Huang Ming helped Charles II treat his illness for several days and lived directly in the Palace of Westminster.

Countless precious medicinal materials, such as ginseng, pilose antler, ganoderma, etc. were thrown down, and Charles II could feel that his body was getting better little by little.

The body regained some strength, and it was no longer weak; the spirit began to cheer up, and the head was no longer drowsy.

Although the stroke is still not healed, the feeling that God is waving to him and that he will die at any time has disappeared.

After warming up for more than half a month, Charles II has recovered a lot of his lost vitality.

Huang Ming also began to prepare for stroke treatment.

He first used white peony root, asparagus, scrophulariaceae, and medlar to nourish yin, soften the liver and quench wind; keel, oyster, turtle shell, and ocher to suppress the liver and subdue yang; Almost the liver quenches the wind...

After another five or six days, Charles II could clearly feel his stroke symptoms disappearing little by little.

As a result, he trusted Huang Ming even more.

With the recovery of Charles II, Huang Ming's reputation among the British upper class is also growing.

Because he brought back Charles II, who had already been notified of death by a British doctor, from the death line, and once again proved to everyone the magic of oriental medicine.

Huang Ming began to become more and more hot.

After all, there is only one life, and a good relationship with the doctor may save lives at critical moments.

……

Another month later, Charles II's body has recovered to a seventy-eight eighty-eight, and he can get out of bed and move around.

Today, the weather is fine.

Having just finished acupuncture, he walked to the window with the help of the maid, enjoying the warm feeling of the sun shining on his face, Charles II slowly let out a foul breath.

"It's good for His Majesty the King to bask in the sun. Supplementing Yang Qi is good for His Majesty's recovery."

Huang Ming said while packing up the silver needles for acupuncture.

Charles II laughed and said.

"My body has almost recovered now, and I am full of strength again."

"Mr. Huang, when can those medicines be stopped?"

Charles II now believes in Chinese medicine very much. Whether it is acupuncture, massage, or those bitter soups, they are all miraculous in his opinion.

However, the only problem is that those decoctions are miraculous, and the bitterness is really bitter.

After drinking the decoction for more than a month, Charles II now feels that his tongue is going to be numb.

Huang Ming just spoke.

"Not urgent!"

"His Majesty's stroke problem has almost been cured, and the remaining sequelae can only be recuperated slowly."

"But His Majesty was given too much blood, and the vomiting and laxatives also caused His Majesty the King's body to lose a lot of vitality."

"At least three or five soups are needed to restore vitality!"

"Then the decoction can be stopped, but it is best not to stop the medicated diet and bath."

Charles II couldn't help but sighed when he heard the words, but he still spoke.

"Okay, okay, all according to Mr. Huang."

Although he didn't want to drink the soup, he still obeyed the doctor's orders.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, Charles II asked.

"By the way, dear Mr. Huang, I heard that your miraculous oriental medicine can give birth to children, right?"

"I want to have a healthy child with my Queen Catherine, what can Mr. Huang do?"

Charles II is no longer young this year. Although he and many of his mistresses have children, Queen Catherine has never had children.

If this continues, his throne can only be passed on to his younger brother.

Unlike later generations, in this era, children born to mistresses have no right to inherit property.

Charles II was not willing to accept such a thing, he wanted a son.

Hearing this, Huang Ming frowned.

"It's not easy!"

"Your Majesty and many of his mistresses have conceived children, but he and the queen have never had any children before. The problem should be with the queen."

"But what's wrong with the queen, I have to meet with you to confirm."

When Charles II heard the words, he couldn't help laughing.

"In that case, please trouble Mr. Huang."

"By the way, Mr. Huang saved my life this time. I wonder what reward Mr. Huang wants?"

When Huang Ming heard the words, he didn't refuse, and said.

"I'm a Taoist believer. I hope to build a Taoist temple in London for daily practice. Please help me."

Huang Ming's ability was taught by a wandering Taoist priest. When the Taoist priest taught him medical skills, he also instilled Taoist ideas in him.

When he was in Daming, Huang Ming often went to Taoist temples to offer incense to Sanqing.

Now that he has come to England, although he has placed a portrait of Sanqing in his room, he always feels that something is missing.

However, he was also unable to build a Taoist temple.

It's not a matter of money, now he is not short of money, Dr. Huang Da.

The reason why it is not cultivated is entirely because the religious atmosphere of Christianity in the UK is very strong, and a large number of British people believe in Christianity.

If he rashly builds a Taoist temple in London, he may not only be attacked by Christian fanatics, but may also be targeted by the British upper class.

Maybe it will all be nothing in the end.

But it is different now, Huang Ming saved the life of the British king and opened up the way to the British high-level.

He often conducts free clinics in the city of London, which can be regarded as a firm image of himself as a good person among the common people.

If he can get permission from the King of England again, building a Taoist temple will no longer be impossible.

Upon hearing this, Charles II hesitated a little, but he still spoke.

"Of course it's fine!"

"I will order people to fully cooperate with you."

"But Mr. Huang, be careful of those fanatics, those fanatics do things regardless of the consequences..."

Charles II didn't hesitate much about Huang Ming's request. He believed in the teaching of Jesus, which was right.

But if you want to say how strong his beliefs are, that's bullshit.

For him, Jesusism is just a tool to stabilize his rule. If Protestantism is useful to him, he will believe in Protestantism. If Catholicism is useful, he will believe in Catholicism. The bottom line of belief is quite flexible.

If he really fell into it himself, he would laugh himself to death.

Huang Ming replied with a smile.

"It's okay, I will choose the location of the Taoist temple in the Ming Concession, and there should be nothing wrong then."

That's right, Daming has now started to have a concession in the UK.

The reason why there is a concession, to put it bluntly, is because the living habits of the Ming people and the British are too different.

If the Ming people living in England live together with the British, they are afraid that something will happen.

If nothing else, religion alone is a big problem.

Chinese people take this aspect of faith relatively lightly. Generally speaking, it doesn't matter whether it is spiritual or not, it is always right to worship.

Therefore, even if the Chinese do not believe in Jesus, when they pass by the church, if they are not busy, they will go in to worship.

But when they meet other gods next time, they will also worship them.

But in the eyes of many British people, this is unacceptable. Unfirm belief is a blasphemy against God.

Because in their view, there is only one god to worship, and worshiping anything else is blasphemy.

When Dare started, the two parties lived together, and there were many troubles.

Then, in order to make life easier for the people of Ming Dynasty who came to the UK to do business, Daming came forward to draw up a concession for the British side, operating it as a Chinatown.

In this regard, the United Kingdom also agrees!

In China after the Duck War, the concessions would represent humiliation.

But not now. When Ming set up the concession, he didn’t force the British to come, but negotiated with the British to decide, and he also paid the rent.

Therefore, in the eyes of the British, isn't it just a concession, it's nothing.

Just as Ming didn't care about the Portuguese leasing Macau back then, now the British don't care about Ming's demarcation of concessions in the UK.

How should I put it, in fact, Daming not only has concessions in Britain.

In France, in Spain, in Holland, in Portugal, in Sweden, in Prussia, in Rakshasa...

In Persia, in Mughal...

Basically, as long as it is a country that has established diplomatic relations with Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty has requested the delineation of concessions for the people of Ming Dynasty to live in.

In this regard, most countries also accept it.

Next, Huang Ming saw Charles II's concubine again. After the pulse signal, Huang Ming said to Charles II.

"The reason why there is no heir for a long time, the problem is not with His Majesty the king, but with the princess."

"The concubine's body is cold and weak, and now that she's old, she doesn't have the ability to bear children."

"If I were to take care of the princess, the princess might be able to conceive, but the day of giving birth would be the day of the princess' death."

After getting such a result, Charles II immediately exhaled a foul breath, his face full of loneliness.

"I just want a child of my own to inherit the throne, is it really that difficult?!"

When Huang Ming heard this, he rolled his eyes and said.

"If it's just that, it's actually not difficult!"

"His Majesty the King can choose a few mistresses to make them pregnant, and at the same time make the princess falsely pregnant."

"When the mistress gives birth, it will be announced that she will have a miscarriage, and the child born will be brought up by the princess."

"As long as the matter is kept secret, it is not difficult for His Majesty's child to inherit the throne."

Huang Ming's words opened up a new world for Charles II.

That's right!

For me, what is the difference between being born by a mistress and being born by a princess?They are all his sons, aren't they?
Charles II was moved instantly, and began to think about how to do this.

But Huang Ming on the side didn't know that his little butterfly flapped its wings lightly, which had already changed the history of Britain.

Historically, King Charles II of England died of illness in 1685.

His younger brother James II succeeded to the throne and was overthrown three years later. The famous Glorious Revolution broke out. Charlie's daughter Mary and son-in-law William inherited the British throne, and Britain began its path to world domination...

But now, it wasn't just Charles II who was pulled back from Huang Ming from the gate of hell.

At the suggestion of Huang Ming, a dog-headed military strategist, he planned to "give birth" a son and make his own son king.

The history of Britain begins now, with one kick of the gas pedal and a completely unknown road.

What will happen in the future, no one really knows!
……

1685 in the Western calendar, that is, the 19th year of the restoration of Ming Dynasty.

This year has been the sixth year of No.20 that Zhu Hongyu traveled through.

A full 26 years have passed, and Zhu Hongyu is 43 years old this year, no longer young.

Even his eldest son, Zhu Caikun, the prince of Daming, is 22 years old this year and has started to get involved in government affairs.

However, Zhu Hongyu, who is in his 40s, still looks like he is only in his early thirties.

It is the year when the body is strong and energetic!

However, Zhu Hongyu has already begun to neglect his administration.

In his own words, if I, the emperor, have done everything, what do you want your courtiers to do?
Of course, it's just a little slack in government, and Zhu Hongyu will not be vague about what should be dealt with.

In the imperial study room, Zhu Hongyu was casually flipping through the government affairs report sent up from below, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Over the years, Daming's development has once again reached a new level.

The first is the most important aspect of population. Daming's population has successfully broken through 1.3 million, reaching a scale of [-] million.

The number of newborns is huge!
Inspired by the imperial court's policy of encouraging childbirth, many Ming people are full of enthusiasm for having children.

When these baby boomers gradually grow up, Ming's foreign expansion policy will usher in a new peak.

The second is the transformation of the military.

It took Zhu Hongyu a few years to review the whole of Daming's army.

Now the Ming army has a total strength of 70 troops, including 20 Imperial Guards and 50 frontier troops.

Among them, there are 15 navy and 35 army.

And it has also established a complete reserve and retirement system.

Ordinary soldiers usually enlist in the army for five years, and they can retire after five years, or they can be transferred to non-commissioned officers after applying to stay in the army and passing the assessment.

Officers have a certain extension according to different levels, but they will also arrange retirement.

Coupled with the current military academy system of Ming Dynasty and the perfect military merit system, it can ensure that the army will always have fresh blood injected.

It can also guarantee that once the emergency of the war comes, Da Ming can recruit retired veterans in the reserve at any time, and a large number of troops will burst into battle in an instant.

This is only the number of troops directly under the central government.

The Ming Dynasty had a large number of militias in Southeast Asia, Australia, Siberia, the New World, grasslands, and the Western Regions where all the people were soldiers.

If it is time for war, the militia can also be mobilized.

In addition to this, there is financial progress.

After these years of development, Daming's finances have continued to grow every year. Last year, the imperial court's fiscal revenue had exceeded the [-] million mark.

Here, the industrial and commercial tax accounts for an increasing proportion.

The agricultural tax, which originally occupied the bulk, now only accounts for one-seventh of Daming's overall financial figures.

This is when Ming now has the New World, Nanyang, Grasslands, Western Regions and other places, and the area of ​​cultivated land has greatly increased.

It is conceivable how fast the industrial and commercial development of Daming is now.

The entire East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central Asia and other places are all Daming's commodity dumps, raw material supply markets, and labor sources.

Even, as the strength of Ming Dynasty in the sea is getting stronger and stronger, the influence of Ming Dynasty is also constantly expanding to the West Asia and the Middle East.

Of course, it's just for business!

The naval fleet of the Ming Dynasty has reached the supply port along the coast of Myanmar west of Malacca at the farthest it has reached, and it will never be farther away.

Because Daming didn't want to stimulate the sensitive nerves of Western countries too much.

Although from the current point of view, the total trade volume between Daming and the West is not very high, even if it is cut off, it will not affect the development of Ming's industry and commerce.

Because a large number of industrial products of Ming Dynasty could not be sold in Europe at all.

But this thing is very profitable.

The trade between Daming and the West is mainly about luxury goods, and the profits of luxury goods are really too high.

If you buy 100 yuan, it is conservatively estimated that you can earn [-] yuan.

Such a good business, as long as it maintains its quality, it is the same as picking up money, and it is a fool not to do it.

Anyway, as far as the current situation is concerned, Daming does not have the source of power to expand further west.

The place in the Middle East is really important, where the oil fields are.

But now Daming's internal combustion engine is still in its infancy, and the demand for oil is high, but not high.

The currently developed oil fields in Southeast Asia and Siberia are sufficient.

Oilfields in the Middle East are in no rush to develop.

Compared with oil fields, Daming's demand for coal is actually higher.

Now there are steam engines everywhere in Daming, as well as factories using steam engines, the demand for coal is astonishing.

However, the amount of coal mining in Shanxi, Hebei, and Monan and Mobei in Daming was very limited.

In order to solve this problem, Daming exchanged a batch of munitions for the mining rights of the Hongji Coal Mine in the north of Annan.

It is also preparing to mine coal mines in Australia, and cooperate with the Spaniards to develop coal mines in South America...

Of course, it's not because Daming's local resources are insufficient.

Rather, Zhu Hongyu did not want to excessively develop local resources out of consideration for the future, but wanted to use external resources as much as possible to promote the development of Ming Dynasty.

The Hou Li Dynasty did not dare to refuse the request of the Heavenly Dynasty's father, and the Spaniards could only agree to Ming's hegemony.

Not to mention Australia, Da Ming doesn't regard the aborigines in Australia as human beings, their opinions are not important.

In addition, it is the development of Ming Dynasty in culture and education.

Over the past few years, Daming's compulsory education work has been successfully promoted to the provincial capitals of various provinces, as well as some important cities, and the scale is very large.

Every year, a large number of basic talents and industrial workers are provided to the imperial court to further promote the technological development of Ming Dynasty and build a more complete scientific system for Ming Dynasty.

The library project is in full swing.

Although books were lost and damaged from time to time, such costs were completely within the acceptable range of the imperial court.

The overall literacy rate of Ming Dynasty has risen to about four floors, which can be said to be the best in the world.

There is also the issue of domestic infrastructure.

After the opening of the main railway line connecting the north and the south.

After exhausting hundreds of thousands of little days and the laborers of the third brother's family, more than half of the railway network connecting the provincial capitals in Daming has been opened.

Except for places such as Southwest and Shanxi, which are still advancing bit by bit due to the terrain, the main railway lines connecting other places have basically been repaired.

Especially in places with flat terrain such as Shandong, Hebei, Henan, and Guanzhong, it is relatively easy to build railways.

Although the Jiangnan area is densely covered with water networks and hilly, but Jiangnan is rich and has developed industries and commerce, so it can be repaired with a little effort.

The only more difficult thing is that the terrain in the southwest is complex and there are not many people. Shanxi is almost the same.

That mountain really makes one's scalp tingle!

As for Liaodong, Monan and Mobei, as well as the Western Regions and the plateau, they are still advancing.

Among them, the railway in Liaodong has almost been repaired and will be completed soon.

The terrain in Monan and Mobei is relatively flat, but the construction is too cold in winter, so the progress is relatively slow.

In the Western Regions, it is more difficult to build roads due to climate problems and desert problems.

And the plateau...

There is really no way to repair the plateau!

The plateau permafrost and hypoxic climate are really terrible.

It's not that Zhu Hongyu is reluctant to die with the laborers of the third brother's family in his childhood, but that it's useless to pile up human lives in that place.

If the technology is not in place, if it cannot be repaired, it cannot be repaired.

Zhu Hongyu really has nothing to do about it. In order to solve the people's livelihood problems on the plateau, he can only start emigrating from the plateau.

The Tibetans on the plateau were immigrated to other places for resettlement.

On the plateau, try to keep only a part of important areas such as the Lhasa Valley, and station troops there to ensure Ming's actual control over the plateau.

In addition, it is the cementization and asphalt reconstruction project of the official road of the Ming Dynasty.

I dare not say anything else, at least the official roads connecting the Han area to the provincial capital have been cemented.

There are even paved roads in many places.

In rich places such as Jiangnan, the localities even spent their own money to build roads directly to the village.

Although the big dogs in Daming are relatively stingy, most of them are willing to spend money on building bridges and paving roads in their hometown.

After Daming spent a lot of manpower and material resources, the treatment of the Yellow River embankment also achieved results.

In recent years, the Yellow River has rarely breached.

Those places where breaches often occur have all been turned into concrete and steel embankments, which are quite strong.

It is estimated that it cannot be exploded with explosives!

There are also projects such as the transformation and construction of local water conservancy facilities by the imperial court.

Under the governance of the imperial court, the water conservancy facilities in the Daming area were basically completely renewed, ensuring that the Daming area had a certain degree of resistance and control over natural disasters.

In addition to natural disasters, the reason why such a large-scale peasant uprising broke out in the year of Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty was also one of the important factors.

The financial collapse of the imperial court caused the local water conservancy facilities to be damaged and no one repaired them. Once a natural disaster broke out, such as drought and flood, the local area did not even have the most basic control ability. Wouldn't the crops be harvested on a large scale?
However, the current Daming has carried out large-scale repairs to the local water conservancy facilities.

I dare not say too much, at least it can be guaranteed that even if a natural disaster occurs, it will not directly reach the point of no harvest.

Zhu Hongyu took a deep breath and closed the report with a look of satisfaction visible to the naked eye.

In his opinion, the development of the Ming court in these years is still good.

Many folks have spontaneously called it the restoration of the prosperous age.

You must know that this is the spontaneous emotion of the people at the bottom, not the admiration of the rulers by the gentry class, nor is it the ruler's own boasting like the "prosperous age of Kang and Qianlong" in the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, in the eyes of many gentry and merchants, the current Daming is indeed a prosperous age.

Externally, the imperial army was invincible in conquests, expanding the territory for thousands of miles, and all nations came to the court.

Domestically, culture and education are flourishing, the population is multiplying, the people are happy, and there is no hunger.

This is not a prosperous age, what is a prosperous age?

Zhu Hongyu is extremely proud of this.

What he is proud of is not only that he has created a prosperous world, but also that he has opened up the living space for the Chinese nation, allowing the entire nation to move from land to deep blue.

It has won the development opportunities for the Chinese nation in the next few hundred years, so that the Chinese can continue to stand on top of the world.

Instead of declining, recover again after suffering.

According to the original historical trajectory, without Zhu Hongyu, it would be more than 300 years before the next time the Chinese nation stands as the chess player of the world's big banner.

In the past 300 years, the Chinese nation has truly fallen to the darkest moment.

This great nation that once created the most glorious civilization in the world and stood on the top of the world more than once has become a slave of others, and even further reduced to the point that as long as a foreigner, even a farm tool, can go to China to show off its might to the point...

During this period, this great nation has endured too much suffering and tempering.

Even if he became a chess player again, the scars left on his body by the loss of more than 300 years have not completely healed.

There are still many banana people who have been kneeling for a long time and can’t stand up. When facing foreigners, they sincerely feel that they are inferior.
