Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed

"Mr. Wang, don't go.

Stay home.

You are indeed old.

Besides, the previous voyage was successful, so it is time to take a rest and enjoy the rest of your life."

In the capital, Han Cheng looked at the old man in front of him and spoke.

The man's hair was gray and looked sparse.

It was almost impossible to hold the hairpin.

There are also some age spots on my hands and face.

He also seemed to be walking unsteadily.

It is obvious that his physical condition is not very good.

This person is none other than this.

It was Wang Dayuan.

Now the Ming Dynasty is preparing for its second transoceanic voyage.

Then explore more species over there.

Get something new.

This time, the main target is rubber.

This time, Zheng He and his team went there, but did not bring back any rubber trees.

On the one hand, Han Cheng forgot to make the corresponding explanation before this.

On the other hand, there were no rubber trees at all.

After learning from Han Cheng how important rubber is.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't sit still anymore.

Soon we were ready to start the journey again.

Go over there and take a walk.

If nothing else, rubber must be brought back.

I'll have to take a look to see if there are any other new things.

It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang personally witnessed the yield of potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes under careful care.

And after tasting these things.

I was so delighted with these things.

I really tasted the sweetness.

Therefore, the corresponding matters were arranged quickly.

Let Zheng He and his men start a new voyage,
Looking forward to getting more good things.

If this is true, it would be great for the Ming Dynasty!
Moreover, compared to the nervousness I felt when I first traveled across the sea.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was still full of confidence.

Not only that, the size of the fleet has increased significantly this time.

In addition to adding ships, they were also equipped with a lot of artillery.

This is partly because of what happened last time.

Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to overseas exploration.

On the other hand, it is because of the operation of the Maritime Customs.

There was also a series of things that Zhu Di did when he went to Japan.

A steady stream of wealth is flowing towards the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly had a lot of money in his hands.

As the saying goes, wealth makes one powerful.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally different from before.

Willing to spend money.

Money should be spent where it is needed most.

In his opinion, this thing is the blade!
Originally, it was planned to let Zheng He, Wang Dayuan's son, and some of their original team go.

I’m not planning to bring Wang Dayuan with me.

On the one hand, it was because Wang Dayuan had already visited here once before.

For this cross-sea voyage, we have already had a lot of experience.

The route has been opened up.

On the other hand, the most important thing is that Wang Dayuan is old.

It can be seen that his health is not very good.

So I don't want him to go.

There are many dangers at sea.

Moreover, medical conditions and other aspects are not as good as on land.

So I decided to let him take a break and stop working so hard.

But this time Wang Dayuan was unwilling.

He came to Han Cheng and expressed his wish.

“My Lord, I know you have good intentions, and I also know that His Majesty and many others are thinking about me.

Afraid that something might happen to me.

In theory, I am now considered successful and famous.

But how to say it?

The old man doesn't have any special abilities.

Not very famous either.

Yes, Your Majesty, Marquis Xingguo, you found this old man.

And gave the old man such a task.

So that the old man can sail again.

Not only that, while fulfilling my dream of sailing.

And gave the old man so many rewards.

The old man doesn't have any special skills.

Some have only a superficial knowledge of navigation.

I started sailing at a very early age and have a deep affection for the sea.

Originally, I just followed others to make some money to support my family.

But it's different now.

Now, this navigation has been linked to benefiting the country and the people.

The old man now understands that there are so many good things overseas.

After bringing it back, if we make good use of it, it can bring so many benefits to our Ming Dynasty!

It can benefit so many people.

I haven't accomplished anything.

But received such glory.

I really don't deserve it.

I am willing to board the ship again and sail with everyone.

Just try your best.

Otherwise, the little contribution I have made to Anhui would be insignificant.

I really don't deserve the benefits and honors given by His Majesty."

Wang Dayuan spoke to Han Cheng with sincere emotion.

Upon hearing this, Han Cheng was moved but also didn't know what to say.

"Old man, you are too modest!

I understand how you feel.

But...but there are really many dangers on the sea.

You are someone who often travels on the sea, so you naturally know the dangers there.

Old man, your current physical condition is not very optimistic.

It is better to rest and recuperate first, and when you are well again, it will not be too late to go out later."

Han Cheng admonished him.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dayuan smiled and shook his head, saying, "My Lord, I appreciate your kindness.

It’s just my old body, and I know it myself.

When you get older, this is what it will be like after you rest.

I am afraid that my cultivation will get worse and worse.

It would be better to do it like now while we still have some strength.

With a breath.

Go outside and continue working.

It's better than waiting to die at home.

And this time, you don’t need to walk or anything.

All by boat.

No effort required.

As for whether there really was an accident, he might have died on the way.

Then just die on the way.

The greatest honor in my life comes from sailing.

Even if I die from this, it will be a worthy death and I will die willingly.

It's the same principle as when a soldier dies on the battlefield.

This time I went there, I had the coffin prepared.

Also bring some soil from your hometown.

If I really die on the road, then let someone put me in a coffin first.

Covered with soil from his hometown, it can be considered a final resting place.

Just bury me when you come back.

In this way, even if I die, there is nothing to regret. "

After hearing what Wang Dayuan said, Han Cheng could clearly sense that Wang Dayuan was not joking.

He means it.

Looking at his earnest and determined goal, Han Cheng hesitated for a moment, but in the end he couldn't bear to refuse.

There are always people in this world who strive for their ideals, even at the cost of their own lives.

Wang Dayuan is such a person.

Worthy of admiration.

"Since the old man has said so, I will report to the emperor and ask him to allow you to go.

But let’s make it clear that you must take good care of yourself.

Return safely.

We in the Ming Dynasty are currently in great shortage of talent for ocean sailing.

People like you, Mr. Wang, are extremely rare.

I also hope that you can bring out more good sailors for our Ming Dynasty!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dayuan smiled with his mouth missing several teeth.

“I must take good care of myself.

Make more contributions to our Ming Dynasty."

Then he added: "However, speaking of this good seedling of sailing.

This kid Zheng He is definitely an extremely good talent.

I have taught him everything I know.

He learns very quickly and very seriously.

With him here in the future, there will be no need to worry too much about the Ming Dynasty’s navigation…”

Han Cheng told Zhu Yuanzhang about this that day.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he felt a lot of emotions in his heart.

Look at Wang Dayuan's behavior, and then think about his own Ming Dynasty, where there are nobles who only think that they can enjoy themselves after achieving success and are not satisfied with the wealth and honor given to them by the court, and are still engaged in corruption and abuse of power.

More thoughts suddenly came to my mind.

Compared with Wang Dayuan, those people are really nothing!
Too far!

……

Three days later, the last few supplies in the capital were being sent to the large ship.

Wang Dayuan, Zheng He and his party came here.

Wang Dayuan really did carry a coffin with him.

And brought a lot of soil...

That afternoon, the huge fleet set sail and sailed down the river.

Finally, it disappeared into the vast sky and no trace was seen.

With new hope, a new voyage begins...

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be in a particularly good mood.

This is not just because of many things such as potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, etc., and Wang Dayuan and others set sail again.

Besides this, there is another thing.

There is another new good news.

This good news came from the East Palace.

It is said that the prince's concubine is pregnant!

After receiving this news, Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed.

He was very clear about the series of things that the vicious woman Lu had done before.

How much damage will it cause to your own family?

After taking a concubine, he had a place to put his emotions.

I don’t feel so bitter anymore.

At this time, the concubine was pregnant again.

That Biaoer's mood became better.

At the same time, this also means that Biao'er will have another child.

He also wants to have another grandson or granddaughter.

Zhu Yuanzhang's mood naturally changed.

However, we have learned many lessons from Lu's incident.

It had been made clear before this that there would no longer be a crown prince's principal wife.

Even if Zhu Biao ascends the throne in the future, he will not appoint a queen.

Only the former Crown Princess Chang would be posthumously conferred the title of Queen.

A concubine will always be a concubine.

On the other hand, corresponding protection will also be strengthened.

Never let the tragedy like before happen again.

No more conspiracies or tricks will be played on you.

Use some means against Yunxun.

It's enough that such a tragedy happened once.

It must not happen a second time.

Zhu Yuanzhang believed that he would do very well this time.

There won't be any more mistakes...

……

“Fellow villagers, don’t worry too much.

This medicine is truly a miracle drug!

After being vaccinated with this thing, you will never get smallpox again.

This is the recipe taught by the living immortal, Marquis of Xingguo, Prince Consort Han!
It was developed personally by our King Zhou, regardless of the danger.

It has been proven to be effective.

Your Majesty, the Queen, and many princes and princesses, as well as high-ranking officials and dignitaries have already been vaccinated.

Absolutely no problem.

It will not cause too much harm to the human body.

At most, it will leave a small scar at the place where the vaccination was given.

It doesn't matter.

This is truly a life-saving thing.

With these, you will never get smallpox again.

One day, smallpox will be completely eradicated in our Ming Dynasty!"

In a place in Daming, someone was holding a large wooden loudspeaker and raised his voice to address the people organized by the village heads.

Propaganda is being carried out loudly.

"Think about it, if this thing is really harmful
Your Majesty, are there still so many dignitaries who can use it?
Certainly not!

This is truly a life-saving miracle drug!

In the past, many people could not obtain this even if they begged for it.

It is because His Majesty and the Empress are kind-hearted that they sent people down to perform the vaccination for free.

You have no idea how much it will cost to vaccinate nationwide.

If this thing really doesn't work, would Your Majesty and the others go to so much trouble and spend so much money to do these things?

Certainly not! "

As he spoke, those who had originally seemed a little hesitant began to move forward.

With the village head and others maintaining order, people lined up to receive the vaccination.

I think this person is right.

If this thing is really useless, why would the court go to so much trouble and spend so much money on it?

Besides, even the emperor and others have been vaccinated, so what do they have to worry about?
How much are their lives worth?

How could it be as valuable as the emperor and others?
What's more, this matter actually involved the living immortal, Xingguo Hou.

Then there is no need to worry!

So, the vaccination went very smoothly...

Such things were happening in every town and village in the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty was simply too big.

Even after Zhu Yuanzhang confirmed that the vaccine made by King Zhou Zhu Su could indeed protect against smallpox and would not cause any problems, he did it as soon as possible.

He ordered to increase the production of smallpox vaccine and carry out vaccination nationwide.

We will strive to completely eradicate smallpox from the Ming Dynasty.

However, there are too many people in the Ming Dynasty and the place is too large.

How can we get this done in such a short time?

So, it continues till now.

This matter has not yet been completely resolved.

Of course, there is another aspect besides this.

This is also because this matter costs too much money.

Before, the Ming Dynasty had limited money, but it is different now.

Now a lot of money is in hand.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang appear confident when doing many things.

Moreover, this time they are not just doing vaccinations.

Still taking advantage of
This opportunity was directly based on the planning blueprint that Han Cheng had previously made.

Establish comprehensive hospitals at the township level.

New medical institutions are being established across the country.

This kind of thing requires huge manpower and material resources to do.

Before this, it was simply unimaginable.

But now, this is unthinkable.

It happened in the Ming Dynasty.

It's getting better and better.

While these things were going on, Han Cheng also remembered something.

Go to the palace immediately to see Zhu Yuanzhang... (End of this chapter)
