The executor of the cowpox test, Emperor Chongzhen, actually has a candidate in his heart. This candidate is Qian Fugui, who is about to return to Daming.

At the beginning, he promised to be rich and rich, and he was a good internal response, so he promised him a future to return to his hometown. However, it is inconvenient for him to make public the things he should do. Therefore, his credit is destined to be known only to a small number of people. If this is the case, the first one is not good to reward, and the second is not enough for the rich and wealthy to return home.

Therefore, if you give Qian Fugui the credit for planting cowpox to prevent smallpox, you can use this credit as an excuse to give Qian Fugui a knighthood. And everyone, including future generations, will remember Qian Fugui and be grateful to him.

This credit, if you really want to compare, is obviously greater than the credit of him as an undercover agent. Good to him, to his family, to everyone else!

In addition, there is another reason to reward Qian Fugui with this merit.

It is Emperor Chongzhen's propaganda this time, not only for military merits, not only for the emperor's relatives to be knighted, as long as it benefits the country and the people, and has great merit, he is willing to be knighted. The reason for this is to encourage the enthusiasm of the people of the Ming Dynasty, so that they will be more motivated to make contributions and be a person who is truly useful to the Ming Dynasty.

And the best effect of this is to set an example. Chen Shigong's example is not enough, we need to have another one.

Just imagine, Qian Fugui was not a doctor before, let alone a famous doctor. He advertised that he usually paid attention to observation, and found that the milker would get smallpox for a while, so he began to ponder, and finally discovered that cowpox could prevent smallpox. As soon as such a thing spreads, it will definitely give everyone in the Ming Dynasty, including those who think they are very ordinary, a thought, maybe they can observe more, ponder more, and step on shit luck, do a great deed, and be knighted!

Thinking so, Emperor Chongzhen chatted privately with Qian Fugui and told Qian Fugui about the situation. Through the chat group, it can be said that this matter, except for Emperor Chongzhen and Qian Fugui, no one else will know that planting cowpox can prevent smallpox is actually the credit of Emperor Chongzhen.

As soon as Qian Fugui heard it, he was very excited. The credit is so big, the reputation is good, he naturally can distinguish it clearly. Such a big credit was thrown at him, and suddenly, the days and nights that he used to be frightened forgot in an instant.

The war continued in the Wa Kingdom, and by the beginning of October, the Ming army had advanced to Sendai. The reason why it only took a few months to advance here was not how good the Ming army was. More credit, in fact, is still food.

Under the hands of the daimyo in various places, more and more soldiers and civilians fled and defected to the Ming army. So much so that later, in order to get the reward of the Ming army, in order to be able to live better after joining the Ming army. Those low-level figures of the hostile forces of the Ming Dynasty often rebelled and sent their daimyo and other leaders to join the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, in the later period, basically the Ming army no longer took the initiative to attack the city, in order to serve as a strategic deterrent force. To deal with the Japanese people, it is basically still the use of Japanese people. The people who took refuge in the Ming Dynasty could survive in the form of disaster relief work. And those who were captured, such as the leaders of the daimyo, used the method pioneered by Emperor Chongzhen, and handed over to the angry Japanese people to kill with their own hands after a public trial; The other soldiers were sent to Iwami Silver Mountain to dig silver mines, as well as to dig sulfur mines and other resources.

Sendai was a place that was loyal to the Tokugawa shogunate. The daimyo here is Date Masamune, who experienced the Warring States period and submitted to Tokugawa Ieyasu, so he was sealed in Sendai and was the first daimyō.

In the original history, he died of illness in the ninth year of Chongzhen. Before his death, the contemporary shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu was personally waiting for him. However, in this plane, because of the civil strife in our country, there are many worries, especially the Haute raid on Edo, the head of Tokugawa Iemitsu made a night pot, and the emperor was given, these things are very devastating to Date Masamune, a few months earlier than the original history, and when the Ming army has not yet arrived, he died with a whimper.

Date Masamune's son, Date Tadamune, was appointed to become the second daimyo of Sendai. In the original history, Date Tadamune, who was rated as the "famous monarch of Shoucheng", was unable to focus on the chaos at all.

It is said that Hauge fled north with the emperor, and after a battle with Date Tadamune, both sides suffered heavy losses. Hauge then continued to flee north, but Date Tadamune rebelled against his people, opened the gates to meet the Ming army, and occupied the Sendai area almost bloodlessly.

Further north, there was the Ou Mountains, the road was difficult to walk, and there were no important towns to the north, and further north, the weather was already cold, so he ordered the Ming army to stop advancing. As for those who want to take credit, whether they will continue to seek opportunities to make meritorious contributions to the north, he doesn't care.

While stationed in Sendai, Lu Xiangsheng unexpectedly learned about something.

It was in the 41st year of Wanli (1613) that Date Masamune, the daimyo of Sendai, invited missionaries to trade with foreign countries and sent envoys to sail aboard the Sanho, a Western-style sailing ship built by the Sendai Domain. The envoys' deputies, the retainer Zhichang Tsuneto, crossed the Pacific, landed at Acapulco, Mexico, then across the Atlantic, to Madrid, Spain, and finally to Rome, Italy, and then to return to the Wa kingdom, a total of seven years.

Lu Xiangsheng knew that Emperor Chongzhen was interested in the Americas, and the first batch of advance fleets sent by him before were also sent by him. From the events of Sendai, it is clear that the emperor's idea of crossing the ocean to reach the Americas is completely feasible in the Wa Kingdom.

So, he made a plead about this through the chat group.

Emperor Chongzhen only smiled at this, and he was able to contact the first advance fleet from time to time through the chat group. He knew that at this time, the advance team was lucky, and it had landed in North America without any alarm, and it was where San Francisco was located in the future, and the first base of the Ming Dynasty in North America was being established.

Based on the current situation of the Wa Kingdom, Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to let Qian Fugui, Wu Daji and others return to the Ming Dynasty with important captives such as Dolgon. And Lu Xiangsheng will continue to sit in the Wa Kingdom, and will not come back until several feudal vassal kings of the Wa Kingdom arrive in the Wa Kingdom, divide specific territories for them, and complete the handover.

Among them, Wu Daji returned to North Korea and did not enter Beijing immediately. And Qian Fugui, who was arranged by Emperor Chongzhen, went to Liaodong first, and found a cow with cowpox in a place where there were herds of cattle and horses.

Before he arrived in Beijing, Dolgon and the others had already been escorted into Beijing. On the side of Jingshi, there has been no excitement for a long time, so at the end of the year, when I paid tribute to the martyrs, I learned that the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the puppet emperor Dolgon were going to be used to pay tribute to the martyrs, and the people of the city went out again. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer things like the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and if you don't look at it in the future, it will be gone.

Compared with the past, the people of Beijing are now a little surprised that the Ming Dynasty captured the Manchu leader. With the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty, the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are just clowns jumping off the beam.

Therefore, this time, although there are many people watching it, it is not so sensational, and it will be over after reading it, at most I will tell my relatives and friends about the pillar incense, and another enemy will get the retribution he deserves.

On the topic of the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the people of Jingshi focused more on Dolgon and others, who did a lot of evil in the Japanese country, and they were caught by the Japanese people and castrated them. It can be seen that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and it is not that it was not reported before, but the time has not yet come.

When Qian Fugui entered Beijing, he was in this background. Most of the people are still busy having a good year.

The money and wealth of the Beijing division can't help but feel a lot of emotion.

I think that back then, he was in the land of Gyeonggi, and Yongpyeong Mansion was plundered by Jian. At that time, he remembered very clearly that Daming was not so prosperous at all. Every time at the end of the year, there are always people who want to freeze to death, and there are always people who are sad for the New Year.

But now, he hasn't come back for many years, and when he came back on the way, he passed by Yongping Mansion, and at that time, he didn't dare to be Yongping Mansion.

When he left Yongping Mansion that year, he remembered very clearly that Jianyu burned Yongping Mansion with a fire, and drove the old and weak outside the city to die. But now, not only has it regained its former prosperity, but it has become even worse, and it is really unrecognizable.

On the side of Jingshi, looking at the wealth and tranquility of the people, for him who had just returned from the Japanese country, he recalled the current situation of the Japanese people, and even recalled the situation of the people in North Korea and Liaodong that he had seen when he was by Haoge's side before, and he couldn't help but feel the most emotional, and the most realized that now the Ming Dynasty is strong, and the people are so happy.

However, Qian Fugui didn't have much time to sigh, Emperor Chongzhen thought about him and asked him to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites as soon as he arrived in Beijing.

On the side of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, the officials are busy, after all, at the end of the year, to summarize this year and plan for next year, no one is free.

However, when Qian Fugui appeared in front of the yamen, in front of the officials at the yamen, as well as the officials and people passing by, and said loudly that he had a way to solve smallpox, everyone exploded, and even Sun Yuanhua, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, rushed to the yamen when he heard the news, and asked Qian Fugui excitedly: "You said that you can solve smallpox, is this true?" ”

Smallpox threatens everyone, regardless of rich or poor, high or low, and it is precisely because of this that the example given by Emperor Chongzhen at that time was smallpox.

Qian Fugui faced the crowd of onlookers, there were high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Rites, ordinary officials, and ordinary people, the number of people, three layers inside, three layers outside, if it was an ordinary person, he would have stage fright a long time ago, and he had seen this kind of formation.

However, Qian Fugui has already experienced it, what kind of battle has he never seen, just his experience in Cao Ying's heart in Han can already make him not surprised. Therefore, in the face of such a situation, he still replied very calmly: "My lord, since the villain has come to Jingshi, he is sure." Even if the villain has great courage, he doesn't dare to come to deceive the court and the holy monarch! ”

Sun Yuanhua was also very surprised by his lack of arrogance or humility. He immediately set about arranging for Qian Fugui, and prepared to verify the authenticity of Qian Fugui's method.

This earth-shattering news spread too quickly. In less than half a day, the other six ministries all sent people to ask about the situation, and even the factory guards, the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, and so on. However, no one thought that even those high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty who had talked to Qian Fugui in the chat group did not know that he was actually the No. 1 of the Ming Dynasty, the secret agent who had the greatest credit for destroying Jianyu.

Emperor Chongzhen also pretended not to know about it, and deliberately issued an order to let Qian Fugui prove his method in public.

So, the cow with cowpox was found, the condemned prisoner brought six, and the man infected with smallpox was found with one. When the conditions were complete, I immediately tested it in public. Five days later, five death row inmates with cowpox were with smallpox-infected people, but nothing happened. The death row inmate, who did not have cowpox, contracted smallpox and was executed.

It can be said that except for Emperor Chongzhen, everyone is looking forward to a good result, and there are even many people who are bless the gods and Buddhas of Mantian, hoping that this method will be useful. As soon as the best result came out, it was a sensation not only in Beijing, but even in the whole world (through the chat group system, the result was immediately informed to the world).

One of the most threatening infectious diseases in human history was solved by an ordinary person who did not know the name. Not only is the result shocking, but so is the person who gave the advice. As Emperor Chongzhen expected, this topic suddenly accounted for more than ninety percent of the topic of this New Year's Festival, and everyone was not interested in discussing other things.

Emperor Chongzhen also took advantage of this opportunity to immediately issue an order to receive Qian Fugui, make him a prince, and fulfill his promise.

Of course, by this time, bigwigs such as Wen Tiren, as well as Liu Xingzuo and others, already knew the true identity of Qian Fugui. As a result, these shrewd people don't believe that the cowpox was discovered by Qian Fugui. Thinking of Emperor Chongzhen's various unbelievable inventions and discoveries, they have enough reasons to guess, and it is not far from the real truth.

But whether they know it or not, it doesn't affect reality. At most, they will mention it in a few words to their children and grandchildren.

Emperor Chongzhen is a reasonable person, and he knows what he is most looking forward to for the current Qian Fugui. Therefore, he did not keep him, so he immediately left Beijing and rushed home for the New Year.

In the past, he arranged it in a hurry, and it was with this in mind.

How many years have I not been home, how many dreams, thinking that I can return to my hometown in fine clothes, at this moment, it can come true, Qian Fugui naturally works day and night, thinking about rushing back to my hometown and reuniting with my family before the New Year.

The parents at home, as well as the wife and children, they are all remembered in their dreams, and they are finally going to be able to meet.

On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Qian Fugui finally saw the gate of his hometown with a tired face.
