The Master of the Kingdom - Chapter 156

When Mu Yan stepped down from the governor of Qingzhou and was appointed as an envoy overseas, there were rumors that Mu Yan lost the trust of the emperor and was going to die.

In this regard, most people with sober heads have to say, why is it here again? This group of people has to make up for Mu Yan’s loss of the emperor’s favor, so that they feel comfortable in their hearts, right? Shouldn’t normal people think that Mu Yan has gotten an important task that only he can do?

Those nonsense said that for Mu Yan, they only have the psychological victory method available. Their talents and abilities can’t be compared, neither is the Saint Chong, except for the brain to make Mu Yan’s fall from favor, what else can they do?

However, it won’t be long before this brain replenishment victory. The emperor quickly issued an order to let Yi Ran, who had already been named King Chun, go with him. Yi Ran received the title of King Chun and opened the Yu Dynasty non-use fief as the title of the prince, that is, the prince no longer has a history of fiefdom.

The emperor had just two sons. King Chun was re-used and all his officials saw him. King Chun was obviously cultivated by a virtuous king who served as an assistant to the prince. King Chun has gone with him, and Mu Yan’s guess that he was disgusted by the emperor is purely fart.

This was not over yet. Soon after, the emperor made another decree that the prince would also go with him. Now the sub-group officials quit.

What if the prince has something to do with the prince’s daughter, who is going abroad? Besides, the emperor’s two sons have gone, and if the ship capsized, who would give the emperor’s throne?

The emperor said in his heart, not two sons, but three sons. He decreed that the national teacher would go with him.

The ministers performed smashing in the court hall one after another.

The emperor had to say, the world is so big, I can’t see it, and I always want my son to see it, lest they become arrogant and become frogs at the bottom of the well. The two sons are not too young, and they are just right. If they are older, he will not dare to let his son go. Since the two sons are going, naturally Mu Yan and Su Yi must go together.

Of course the officials knew that if the two princes were to go, Mu Yan and Su Yi had to go together to ensure the safety of the two princes to the utmost extent.

But if all four of them died outside, even if Yu Chao was now prosperous, he would be plunged into turmoil in an instant.

But they can’t publicly say what to do if all four of them are dead, they can only continue to remonstrate and then remonstrate.

The emperor said that my will has been resolved, and the Aiqings should stop persuading them, and persuading them is useless. Rather than talking about things that will not change, it is better to help me think about how to protect their safety.

Seeing the emperor’s resolute attitude, some officials secretly guessed that the emperor actually sent the national teacher overseas to seek the elixir of immortality?

“This guess is really getting more and more outrageous.” Su Yi couldn’t help but complain. “It’s okay if you don’t guess, guess something like this. People who have this kind of guess must be extremely ignorant.”

After entering Beijing, Su Yi, who had mixed with the retired veteran cadres, criticized this speculation wildly, and the retired cadres who had some doubts in their hearts immediately nodded, yes, the national teacher is right, these people are stupid, because Stupidity would say such things.

“I said earlier, is it easier to live forever than to be a slaughter for an official? Since you can’t be a high official with just one pill, how can you be immortal with one pill?” Su Yi shook his head.

The retired veteran cadres remembered, yes, it seems that when the national teacher first entered the capital, he refuted this statement, and used the story of his own patriarch to describe the hardship of the road of practice.

“Your Majesty has sent sea ships out several times.” Su Yi sighed, “I have also collected information from many overseas countries. Your Majesty knows how wide overseas is, and knows that besides Yu Chao, there are many other people who are not weaker than Yu Chao. If you are not vigilant in your country, he is not your majesty. Your majesty wants to let the two majesty go out and have a look while he is still young.”

The emperor sent sea ships to travel and earned a lot of gold and silver. These retired cadres all knew about it. It’s just that they haven’t thought so far yet.

After all, they have no personal experience, and Huaxia has always been adhering to the idea that Tianyuan is a place where the entire Central Plains is the center of the entire world. The rest of the countries are leftovers of the world and do not need to be valued.

But let’s not say far, just say that Europe, the Roman Empire is not dead yet. A few years ago, the “magic medicine” incident was behind the shadows of some powerful and powerful people in the Roman Empire. Although it is not an official behavior, it can be seen that the nobles of the Roman Empire have a bit of coveting for the rumored rich eastern country. It’s just that China has a plateau in the west, and there are powerful nomads in the northwest. At present, only the Yu Dynasty in the navy has reluctantly lit up this skill, and the Roman Empire can only covet it.

Even though Yu Chao is in no danger, the emperor still decided to let his son see the world and broaden his mind. Especially the Prince.

Yi Ran was incidental.

The emperor was only worried that the prince went overseas, leaving Yi Ran alone in the court. Although Yi Ran would not have the thought of fighting for the position of the prince, it is inevitable that there will be people in the DPRK, so it is better to send the two princes out. Anyway, if something happened to the prince, the emperor would only adopt from the clan and would not choose Yi Ran.

“Daddy, don’t worry, I’m here.” Su Yi slapped his chest. “Let’s walk slowly along the coast. As long as the weather is not good, we will stop, that is, the speed will be slower. What is the danger?”

The emperor said in a huff: “I don’t worry about them, I only worry about you! Promise me, absolutely not to run around!”

Su Yi said, “Am I such a person who doesn’t know the importance?”

The emperor nodded: “Yes.”

Su Yi suddenly felt very wronged.

Not only Su Yi, but even the Queen was very relieved of the prince and Yi Ran, only nagging to Su Yi, so that Su Yi was not allowed to mess around.

Su Yi is puzzled. He has always been very honest. Did he do anything? Why are everyone so worried about him?

The unhappy Su Yi complained to the two younger brothers, and both younger brothers said they would take good care of Su Yi.

Su Yi was even more speechless, and complained to Mu Yan again. Mu Yan thought for a while and said: “It’s probably because of Kangle that you have encountered too many ordeals. Even if you don’t voluntarily, Your Majesty and Niang Niang are worried that something will come to you. .”

Su Yi said: “How can there be so much trouble? They think too much.”

Mu Yan smiled and said, “I hope so.”

Although the emperor was worried, and the matter was settled, he could only send them off from the port himself. Before leaving, the officials in Beijing were stunned by Su Yi and felt that the emperor had let the prince out to see, and they should also let their heirs to see. So these courtiers who failed to hit the pillar and couldn’t stop the emperor’s decision squeezed their heads and wanted to send their own people. In the end, all the friends Su Yi knew.

Seeing the emperor Dian Weizheng, Wang Boyuan, Sima Hu, and Xie Huan as Mu Yan’s deputy, Su Yi said he was very happy: “We can just make up two tables of Mahjong.”

Everyone smiled bitterly, feeling that Su Yi was really heartened. But during the trip, they finally got together two tables of mahjong and rubbed mahjong if nothing happened.

Is this also the supernatural power of the National Teacher’s straight-up? Su Yi said hehe, this is obviously the charm of the quintessence of the country.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

On this voyage, Su Yi dared to pack a ticket to His Majesty the Emperor, obviously he was fully prepared.

In terms of force, not only were Yu Chao’s ships equipped with artillery, Su Yi and the others also had a newly developed musket, and there was even a 100-person musket team guarding them. The musket newly developed by Yu Chao hadn’t been given to the frontier soldiers, so it was given to them first.

Not to mention that these people in Yu Chao are not low in force, and they are not afraid of anyone in close combat. They say that this gun is crushing against cold weapons.

Furthermore, Su Yi has also done adequate protection against the killer and infectious disease in the voyage.

They brought lime and herbs on board, disinfected them at all times, and brought cats.

There have always been cats in China, not from Egypt. China’s earliest official record of cats is the legend of “civet cats for prince”, but Su Yi has now discovered that the farm has civet cats to catch mice. So he domesticated the tabby cat early, and this time he brought several on the boat to catch mice.

Rat infestation on sea-going ships has always been a headache. Yuchao has dispatched sea-going ships several times and has tried his best to deal with rats. In the end, the most effective way is to raise cats. Although cats are not easy to tame and are sometimes too noisy at night, they would rather be unable to fall asleep to the screaming cats at night than the rats on the boat.

Su Yi stipulated that all people returning from the shore must take a bath and boil their clothes for disinfection. Several key entourages had to bathe with soap, for which he made a lot of soap. The raw materials of soap are not particularly cheap now.

When they live on the shore, Suyi also stipulates that they must take a bath and wash clothes every day, and the lodging area must be sprinkled with lime water and smoked with herbs.

Su Yi remembers that the sanitary conditions and habits in Western countries are far worse than those in China, their drainage systems are not doing well, and there has been an outbreak of the Black Death. Although Su Yi’s “knowledge” was derived from novels, he would rather troublesome for safety.

In addition to protection, Su Yi also prepared enough medicine. Herbs and imperial doctors must be accompanied. When Su Yi was in Qingzhou, he also experimented with methods other than vaccinia. Because of the inhumane society of feudal society, vaccinia had been tested on human subjects in death row prisoners as early as possible, and all were successful. Now everyone on the ship has been vaccinated with cowpox. Even if they have never had smallpox before, they are not worried about getting smallpox on the voyage.

Su Yi finally made a simple microscope and extracted penicillin. Because he had done experiments on extracting penicillin a long time ago, he also knew where penicillin was extracted the most, so after the purification step, everything went well.

The purification of penicillin requires freeze-drying, which means that the liquid is frozen and then placed in a vacuum to be directly sublimated and purified by thermal radiation. However, the current technology cannot achieve freeze-drying. Su Yi has not thought of the freeze-drying method for the time being. He just wrote this This theory, and ordered people to save the bacteria for generations, and then moved his laboratory to the ship.

Although penicillin cannot be purified or made on a large scale, if someone on the ship has a disease that even the imperial doctor can’t cure, Su Yi can extract penicillin by hand through the laboratory to relieve the urgent need.

For this reason, Su Yi conducted skin tests on all important personnel on the ship. Fortunately, he, Mu Yan, his two younger brothers, and four friends all adapted well to penicillin without adverse reactions. As for the others, Su Yi has no choice. The extraction of penicillin was too difficult, and he couldn’t do a skin test on everyone with him. However, if he encounters a disease that cannot be solved by the imperial physician, he will still use penicillin, only hope that the sick person will not be allergic at that time.

No, he just hopes that everyone will not get sick.

Su Yi has done the best he can do so far. If the protective measures he specified are followed, the chances of the people on board getting sick should be very small.

Under Su Yi’s emphasis, it is true that very few people got sick along the way, and penicillin was not used as a big killer.

But this road is not without dead people. These people are all dead in human hands.

Su Yi and the others are cautious step by step, avoiding natural disasters, but not man-made ones.

The first reduction in the fleet was when it was in the Nanyang Islands. There is no government in the Nanyang Islands, only tribes. Mu Yan and others rested on the shore, sent people to the island to collect fresh water and food, and exchanged trade with local tribes. There were merchants accompanying Mu Yan on the boat, and they were very familiar with the sea route.

But when they arrived at night, there was no one who had waited for them to come back, so Mu Yan felt that something was wrong. On the second day, he sent people to look for them. Because he made preparations in advance, he did not suffer much casualties during the attack. However, due to the terrain, some soldiers were still damaged under the trap.

In the end, those tribes fled into the mountains under the attack of Yu Chao’s army. They were unable to pursue them, and they did not collect all the corpses.

According to the arrested people, some corpses were burned, some were thrown into the water, and some were thrown to wild animals. The reason why they attacked Yu Chao’s team is simple, because of these people’s goods.

The tribe did not do anything about killing people and robbing goods, but this time it was more courageous. Anyway, as long as they hide in the mountains, these people will have no choice but to take them. It is also impossible for foreigners to stay on the island for long. When these people leave, they return to their original places and rebuild the tribe.

The fact is indeed the case. Even if Yu Chao was accompanied by strong troops and advanced weapons, he could not avenge his fellow travelers and could not stay here for too long.

Not long after setting foot on overseas land, this kind of incident caused Yu Chao’s fleet to feel very heavy, and it also sounded a wake-up call for them. They can no longer take any chance, they must doubt all the outsiders they meet. If those people are changed, they would rather kill by mistake, and never allow their compatriots to return to the country with the capital of the dead.

Once again trading with people overseas, Mu Yan told his subordinates to be ready for battle from time to time. Su Yi also equipped each team with flare. As long as the battle started, no matter how many people there were in the enemy, the flare must be released to let people on the shore know.

Mu Yan and others also cancelled their plans to enter the land. Originally, they thought of the more prosperous overseas countries. If the other’s capital is closer to the shore, under the **** of soldiers, they will visit other’s capital to establish friendly relations. Now Mu Yan and the others demand that the two Highnesses and all the officials accompanying them should not leave the ship too far, and can only camp and live on the shore, and never go deep, lest the other party is disadvantageous to the fleet. Regarding diplomatic relations, they only send people to submit documents to the managers of the port cities.

Mu Yan and others were cautious enough, but they were still attacked many times. After Yuchao’s ships traded overseas for many times, these countries have long known that Yuchao’s fleet is a group of big fat sheep, and this time Yuchao’s ships are still official trips. It is said that there are two princes on board. , Ding is equipped with many treasures.

The money is touching. Although they know that since it is the official fleet of the Yu Dynasty, it must be protected by troops, but in their own territory, are they still afraid of foreigners?

There are many people with this kind of thinking. The fleet of Mu Yan and others encountered many battles along the way, and several of the major battles were when the opposing country sent troops to directly attack Mu Yan’s fleet.

During the battle along the way, Mu Yan and the others were getting tougher and tougher, and the prince and Yi Ran finally came into contact with the real battle, and finally had real life in their hands. They became more resolute in the battle, compared to when they set off from Yu Chao, they were different from each other.

And Su Yi, it was not the first time he had killed someone. In front of outsiders, he didn’t use XX miracles from the sky, but his marksmanship became more accurate, and his psychological fluctuations became smaller and smaller when killing people. In the beginning, the prince and Yi Ran gave psychological counseling after the first murder.

On the way, the Yuchao fleet was attacked by one after the other, and in the attack, it also laid down the reputation of Yuchao, so that countries wherever they went knew that there was a powerful empire in the east, and they possessed like gods (devil). The same soldiers, wherever they go, can summon thunder and fire, and can blow people into pieces from far away.

It is said that their fleet is accompanied by a national teacher of their country. The national teacher is like wizards, wizards, priests and other people who can use supernatural abilities, right? The abilities of these soldiers like gods (devils) must have been bestowed by their national teachers.

Therefore, if you want to defeat the people in the fleet of Yu Chao, you must first kill Yu Chao’s national teacher. By the way, Yu Chao’s national teacher is like this (portrait).

Su Yi:? ? ? ? ?

Why did he suddenly pull a wave of hatred, what did he do?

So Su Yi began to change his clothes frequently. When he went ashore, other people no longer called him a national teacher. He even pretended to be a guard or mixed into the official ranks, lest others would send someone to assassinate him every time he fought.

Su Yi felt bitter. Who on earth did he provoke?

Mu Yan sighed. He had already said that although Su Yi never caused trouble, but things often provoke him. Look, this time again.

But fortunately, after Yu Chao became famous, the second half of the road went a lot better. They also did a few big trades and changed a lot of gold and silver. Not to mention, the kingdom sent envoys and even members of the royal family to board. The ships of Yu Dynasty should return to the voyage with Mu Yan and others, to meet the emperor of Yu Dynasty, and establish friendly relations and stable routes with Yu Dynasty.

Since Yu Chao is so strong, they can’t do robbery, so let’s start a serious trade. They can’t bear the good things that Yu Chao merchants brought. For these good things, for the aristocratic extravagant life, they are willing to provide protection for the merchants of Yu Dynasty.

The purpose of Mu Yan and others’ trips finally saw some results.

Mu Yan and the others sailed to the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, where they scoured a lot of gold. In the end, the gunpowder and herbs were about to be used up. The saltpeter and herbs sought from the shore could not satisfy the consumption, so Mu Yan and the others returned.

When returning to the voyage, the countries along the route had been beaten by Yu Chao’s fleet, and they did not stop at a hostile place. The goods exchanged were all in countries that had established diplomatic relations. The way back was very smooth, with only a few encounters with pirates and pirates. Small group of bandits.

When Mu Yan and others set foot on the land of Yu Dynasty again, two years had passed. After a lapse of two years, the number of people returning to Yu Dynasty dropped by one third. These are all attrition in the battle.

And the number of people they killed was more than ten times this number.

Although the emperor made up his mind, for two years, he thought about it day by day and suffered day by day. When Su Yi and others saw the emperor again, the emperor’s sideburns were completely white.

When the emperor saw his three sons, he couldn’t help crying bitterly in front of the hundred officials who greeted the fleet. At this time, he was not as an emperor to welcome this great fleet, but as a father to welcome his three sons who had returned from a long voyage.

Su Yi and the others cried before they reached the port near the capital, but climbed onto the southernmost land of Yuchao. This time, seeing the emperor and the officials who came to greet him, I couldn’t help crying again.

The emperor and the officials knew about the reduction in the crew of the fleet a long time ago, but they did not expect that the reduction would be so much.

Soon after the fleet returned to Beijing, the emperor led his officials and dressed himself in plain clothes to mourn the compatriots who disappeared from the foreign country during this voyage, and said that he would avenge revenge.

After sailing, the two princes stopped traveling together, but Su Yi grabbed Mu Yan and sailed many times, hitting the place where the Yuchao fleet had been robbed on the road.

For this battle of revenge, later generations received mixed reviews. One kind of opinion thinks that this is a just battle of the Yu Dynasty, and another kind of opinion thinks that the Yu Dynasty is a robber. However, Yu Chao’s reputation once again spread, creating a good environment for Yu Chao’s maritime trade. Only ships from other countries will apply for Yuchao protection and fly the flag of Yuchao.

Such is the case with a strong country.

And when the Yu Dynasty collected and paid the surrounding countries, the merchant ships that went overseas to protect the Yu Dynasty became a new way for the people of the Yu Dynasty to earn merits, and it was also a new way for the Yu Dynasty to train troops.

Among them, many well-known generals have emerged in history. Among them, Mu Yan was the first to visit overseas, and after the last two dynasties, he was ranked among the three most important ministers of the Yu Dynasty, and he was naturally the most famous.

And among them, one of the most famous is the style of painting that is very wrong. Here is Su Yi, the national teacher of Yu Dynasty.

As long as Mu Yan sails, the national teacher will definitely travel. He did not participate in any diplomatic activities, and there is no record of any leading soldiers, but he is extremely famous overseas, to the point where people overseas are frightened. Rumor has it that Mu Yan’s invincibility overseas is all due to his supernatural powers.

Regarding this, Su Yi can only say that these people have too much brain supplement, which is a disease and can be cured. He is a soy sauce maker.
