"Little boys, charge!"
"Don't retreat. If you retreat, your family will be destroyed!"
In October, when the cold begins to appear in the Jiangnan area, some offshore beaches in the north are already frozen.
Such a scene gives some young people an opportunity to take advantage of it.
When shouts of death erupted from the surrounding area of a military fort, short Japanese pirates, each less than five feet tall, rushed up to the top of the city with knives and started fighting with the Ming army at the top of the city.
The battle has been going on for a long time. From early morning to noon, the market outside the military fort was set on fire by Japanese pirates. People who had no time to escape into the fort were hacked to death by Japanese pirates. Bodies were scattered all over the dirt road, and the blood that flowed out formed puddles.
There were not many Ming troops at the top of the city, but thousands of Japanese pirates were densely surrounding the city.
This group of Japanese pirates tried to use ladders to rush to the top of the city, which was less than two feet tall, but they were fought bloody battles by Ming soldiers at the top of the city wielding long spears.
When one soldier fell, another soldier immediately took his place.
A young soldier of sixteen or seventeen years old was stabbed several times in the face. His whole face was slashed to pieces with Japanese swords and he was bleeding.
Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment. He thought of what Zhu Gaoxu had said at the time. At that time, Zhu Gaoxu had said that if the Japanese pirates were defeated in the south of the Yangtze River, they would definitely move to Shandong and Liaodong to plunder.
But while he was dealing with the boring state affairs, someone he cared about was enjoying his leisure time.
By the Hongwu period, TCM surgery had begun to discuss surgical methods, and pointed out that the anesthetic dose and operation time should be determined according to the patient's age, constitution, and bleeding conditions.
Zhu Gaoxu had already talked about how to prevent Japanese pirates, and now his grandfather asked how to prevent Japanese pirates. That was to consider whether Zhu Gaoxu had the ability to mobilize the troops of the coastal capitals.
He talked about Zhu Gaoxu's original opinions, but Zhu Yuanzhang had already expected what he said, and he truthfully arranged for each province to strengthen preparations for Japan.
"Fortunately, Your Majesty has given Duke Cao Guo so much money and food, it won't take long to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates along the coast."
As he spoke, he mentioned Zhu Gaoxu: "Gaoxu is right. We should not treat coastal Japanese pirates the same way we treat ordinary bandits. We should build big ships and equip them with more artillery to suppress them."
At that time, he had always wanted to find a bone-setting master, but it was too difficult for future generations to find a master who was proficient in bone-setting.
"Jinzhou..."
Zhu Yunwen didn't expect this opportunity to come so quickly. He was so happy that he even moved his hands faster.
The reason why Zhu Gaoxu asked the surgeons in Nanjing was to bring a group of doctors who are proficient in surgery back to the north, to form a medical team in advance to deal with future wars, and to improve the medical level in the north.
As the doctor spoke, he also took his hand away from Zhu Gaoxu's back, and his wry smile turned into a cheerful one:
"Now that the Japanese pirates in Zhejiang are being encircled and suppressed, the Japanese pirates who want to come to Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Nanyang have received the news, and they may invade in large numbers."
At this moment, he really doesn't have any talented people who can train the soldiers and horses of Yidusi.
Seeing his appearance, Xu Huizu stopped trying to sit down. Xu Zengshou also stepped forward and said with an anxious expression: "Brother, the Zhongzuo Institute in Jinzhou..."
The predecessor was able to lift a three hundred kilogram large tank with both hands restrained. You must know that one kilogram in the Ming Dynasty was equal to one kilogram and two in later generations. In other words, the predecessor could easily lift a three hundred and sixty kilogram thing and walk around in a circle. , and his hands are still tied.
His busyness made the entire Duke of Wei's palace busy, constantly coming and going to greet military attachés who hoped to have the opportunity to leave Yunnan.
"Draft an edict to command Cao Guogong Li Jinglong to control the coastal divisions, grant Yang Wenping the Japanese general, the fourth rank, and order the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works to allocate 600,000 in money and food to the Japanese general's mansion. I want to see the Japanese invaders in the middle and left within three months. All the Japanese heads!"
According to what Zhu Gaoxu learned at the university, doctors in the early Ming Dynasty already knew how to boil water for disinfection before and after surgery and various methods of sterilization and hemostasis.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't have a good impression of the chieftain. What I really felt sorry for was the native people under the chieftain's rule.
"Your Highness's body is extremely endowed. Not only are his bones thicker than those of ordinary people, but the muscles and bones in his body are also very strong."
Zhu Gaoxu got dressed and went out, and the doctor also left the hospital under the escort of Lin Wuliu.
On the ninth day of October, as Zhu Yuanzhang's curses rang out in the Wuying Hall, he threw a memorial to the ground.
Thousands of Japanese pirates finally captured the military fort an hour later. The heads of the military fort’s thousands-household officials were chopped off and hung on the city wall, and their bodies were also hung up with ropes.
"My grandson knows." After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Zhu Gaochi didn't think too much and just nodded in agreement.
"Based on Cao Min's thirty-two years of experience as a doctor, by the time His Highness reaches the crown, his body and bones will probably be several times stronger than those of others. On the battlefield, it is not an exaggeration to say that he can be defeated by ten thousand people."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him and said, "You left half an hour early today and left the palace to ask Gao Xu on my behalf how to guard against this Japanese invasion."
In his previous life, Zhu Gaoxu's body was stiff due to long periods of sitting. Occasionally, he could hear bone-setting sounds when he moved his neck and body.
"How is my health?"
Under this guarantee, surgical operations in the early Ming Dynasty reached a very high level.
Upon seeing this, the accompanying eunuch hurriedly went to the side hall to take care of things, and when Zhu Yuanzhang saw that his order was issued, he turned his attention to Yuan Hong who was kneeling on the ground.
He didn't care that the soldiers of Zhongzuo Suo were defeated, but the defeat couldn't be so ugly, right?
"Your Highness has a strong body. As long as you don't be competitive or exert too much force, you will probably hardly suffer from any muscle or bone disease in this life."
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, Zhu Yunwen deliberately wanted to take the opportunity to recommend Zhu Gaoxu. However, it had only been a few days since the conflict between him and Zhu Yuanzhang. He was worried that his thoughts would be easily seen, so he resisted recommending Zhu Gaoxu.
Lao Zhu's words made Zhu Jixi and Zhu Shangbing blush. They thought that their imperial grandfather might know that they were going to the official residence in Nanbei City, so they reminded themselves specially.
"Here we come..." Zhu Yunwen secretly rejoiced when he heard his grandfather's words.
He told the story about the burning and massacre of Jinzhou Zhongzuo Station by Japanese pirates. After hearing this, Xu Huizu frowned subconsciously, but soon relaxed his brows.
"On August 26, I ordered the coastal guards of Shandong and Liaodong to raise the height of the military fort by seven feet. However, the Zhongzuo Station in Jinzhou was short of soldiers and civilians, and it was only raised three feet before the Japanese invaded."
"Your Majesty, the Japanese invaders this time are indeed not the fault of Wang Biao, the official of the Central Left Office, and the military households."
"To this end, the imperial court dispatched two hundred families of doctors and craftsmen from the capital to accompany the army to guard the border, but they had to leave before the winter solstice."
Zhu Yuanzhang was very uneasy. Many names flashed through his mind, hoping to send a general who was good at running the army to rectify Liaodong's armaments. However, he searched the names in his mind and found that these people had either been entrusted with important tasks or were preparing to go to Yunnan. campaign.
He tried his best to suppress his temper, but Zhu Yunwen still heard a strong murderous intention from it. He bowed and ordered the eunuch next to him to draft an imperial edict with his eyes.
"Your Highness, the piece of meat on your body is really the strongest piece of meat I have seen in all my years of practicing medicine."
The word "surgery" seems to be very inconsistent in the Ming Dynasty, but in fact these two words are commonplace medical vocabulary since the Tang and Song Dynasties.
The two hundred kilogram stone table in the yard that was originally used for strength training is no longer enough, which shows how strong he is.
After that, Zhu Gaoxu returned to his study to read, while Lin Wuliu went to the side room to rest, and asked a brother to sit in the main hall and watch the courtyard.
The owner of the rough hands is a forty-year-old doctor wearing a long robe. At the moment, he is activating Zhu Gaoxu's muscles and bones. The reason why he appears here is because Lin Wuliu said in the morning that "the bone-setting doctor can't activate his pulse." Bad words.
"At that time, I had already informed the various governors under the Zuo Army Governor's Mansion, and also sent people to inspect. It was indeed correct at that time."
As far as his military exploits are concerned, he is definitely outstanding, but he has not made much achievements in military management.
If these native people can be used by the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty can better develop Yunnan, and then take full control of the Three Propaganda and Six Welfare, and prepare for the future recovery of Jiaozhi.
Zhu Yuanzhang's scolding was very unpleasant, and Yuan Hong, who was dressed as the commander-in-chief of the Left Army, could only kneel on the ground and lower his head as he was scolded.
"It is not uncommon for Japanese invaders to invade, but this time they actually attacked Liaodong. This shows that what Gao Xu said was right. The Japanese invaders suffered losses in the south of the Yangtze River and must have fled to Guangdong, Guangdong, Liaodong, Shandong and other places."
As he spoke, he began to pack up his medicine box. Lin Wuliu, who was at the door of the room, saw this and stepped forward to help.
In the entire Zhongzuo Institute, more than 1,700 people were killed, more than 900 were killed, and the rest were all kidnapped. The Zhongzuo Institute, which cost the imperial court tens of thousands of money and food, was burned to the ground.
"Get up and cooperate with Duke Cao to encircle and suppress the Japanese!"
Half an hour later, when the soldiers and horses of Jinzhou Guard came in wearing armor and watching the smoke, they only saw the corpse of Qianhuguan with his head inserted at the city gate...
Xu Huizu did not interrupt, but spoke after he finished speaking: "Although I have not directly fought against the Japanese pirates, it can be seen from Yang Wen's military report that the composition of the Japanese pirates along the coast is complex and their combat power is elusive. , it is difficult to determine the number, so they can break through the Zhongzuo Suo."
"More than 400 soldiers failed to defend the military fort at Zhongzuo. When I came out, His Majesty was furious."
"It is said that more troops will be sent to Yunnan. In addition, a notice was also issued in Liushuwan, ordering the male military households in Gaoshikan over the age of 16 to go to the military camp in Liushuwan to enlist. The entire Gaoshikan was classified as military households. In the next spring, We are going to Yunnan to guard the border."
Xu Huizu looked at the sky outside the main hall and remained silent. Seeing this, Xu Zengshou also reminded: "Do you want to tell Cao Guogong what Gao Xu said?"
Zhu Yunwen told Yang Wen's victory, and this was also the reason why the Japanese pirates fled north.
Yang Wen, who was fighting against Japanese invaders, seemed to be a bit resourceful. Once the Japanese invaders were calmed down, he could be allowed to leave Liaodong.
The young man was still shouting slogans when he fell.
Zhu Yuanzhang scolded a man kneeling in front of him. This man was wearing a regular uniform of a first-class military attache. He had gray hair and beard and was already quite old.
These plasters seal and protect external wounds to isolate external infections. At the same time, the plasters also contain some local anesthetics and disinfectants, which have analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and myogenic effects to avoid mechanical damage to the wound caused by exercise.
After the hospital door was closed, Lin Wuliu came back and breathed in: "With fewer doctors, the medical fees will also increase."
Zhu Gaoxu was quite relaxed here, but Xu Huizu, who got an errand because of him, was very busy.
"The two of you have been handling the memorials quite well recently, but you still need to read some books in your spare time and stop indulging in wine and meat."
"Not to mention the apprentices who studied under the surgical masters, the government has set a date for guarding the border early. Once they complete their studies, they will go out with the army to guard the border as long as the government needs it."
"Nanyang..." Xu Huizu murmured with a slight frown, but then he sighed:
They are also very particular about the topical medications used after hemostasis and disinfection.
After leaving Liaodong, he also worked with Feng Sheng to sweep Nahachu west of Wuliangha, followed Lanyu on an expedition to the north of Saibei, and pursued the Yuan Lord to Cheche'er Mountain.
Therefore, he has treated many military generals, but no one has ever been as strong as Zhu Gaoxu.
As long as Zhu Gaoxu answers well, then he will have a reason to transfer him out in the future.
"Japanese dog! Your grandfather will kill you in his next life!"
Lin Wuliu talked about the information he had, and Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly after hearing this: "It seems that the imperial court is going to launch troops in Yunnan around the beginning of spring, but I don't know which blind chieftain will hit the tip of the knife."
It has to be said that if you have a craft, you will be popular no matter which era you go to.
It’s okay if others don’t know about his body. How can he not be aware of it?
"In June, I issued a special order to the Governor's Office to alert the northern coast and strengthen defenses... Now take a look, what is the memorial you gave me?"
Lying on the bed, Zhu Gaoxu asked the doctor curiously. The doctor also smiled and said:
Zhu Gaoxu turned over and sat up and put on his clothes. The doctor also received the 20 yuan payment from Lin Wuliu.
"There are very few doctors practicing in the world today. Even if they do exist, they are first allocated to health clinics in the southwest and northwest. In the huge city of Nanjing, there are many people who are proficient in internal medicine, but there are very few who are proficient in surgery."
"Asshole!"
Xu Huizu said optimistically, but Xu Zengshou frowned and said: "But Gao Xu also said that the Japanese pirates' home base is in Nanyang. If the Japanese pirates in Nanyang are not eliminated, the coast will be unsafe."
The emergence of Mafei powder in the Han Dynasty put TCM surgery on the right track, while the anesthetic drugs such as Datura and Aconitum recorded in the Yuan Dynasty, coupled with the war-torn world, allowed surgery to continue to be popular.
Listening to the doctor's compliments, Zhu Gaoxu just smiled and did not respond.
Xu Zengshou didn't notice his brother's calmness and kept talking to himself.
At this time, Zhu Gaochi was dealing with the memorial in his hand. When he felt the gaze of his imperial grandfather, he raised his head and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang while looking at each other.
"Yes...I accept the order..." Yuan Hong dragged his old body to stand up with difficulty. Because he had knelt for too long, he even staggered when he stood up, as if he was about to fall in the Wuying Palace in the next second.
It's a pity that his idea came to nothing, because when he asked this question, the doctor smiled bitterly and said:
"When the Japanese invaded, the number of Japanese pirates besieging the city was thousands. However, there were only 1,736 soldiers and civilians in Zhongzuo, including only more than 400 soldiers defending the city."
Three or four Japanese pirates rushed up and besieged him. No matter how brave he was, he was still defeated by his four fists, and the Japanese pirates stabbed his body with a Japanese knife through the gap in his armor.
"It's a pity that I will be leaving Yunnan at the end of the year, so I won't be able to wipe out the Japanese pirates along the coast with my own hands."
The surgical operations performed under these medical guarantees seemed very simple and even primitive to later generations with advanced science.
After sorting everything out, Zhu Yuanzhang set his sights on Zhu Gaochi.
"Yuan Hong, Yuan Hong, I see that the more you live, the more you return!"
Plasters used for external application need to be made through high-temperature sterilization.
"Why, so many doctors have been transferred in the past two months?" Zhu Gaoxu asked curiously, and Lin Wuliu nodded:
However, after arriving in this era, Zhu Gaoxu often trained too hard which would lead to muscle soreness in his body. Therefore, under Lin Wuliu's reminder, he asked Lin Wuliu to find him a doctor who was good at promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
"My grandson has read Yang Wen's report. From the rectification of the Chongming Qianhu Station to the training of the navy, this process only took two months. In the past two months, Yang Wen has eradicated the Japanese pirates in Shuangyu, Zhejiang and beheaded them. There are more than 7,600 levels and more than 14,300 Japanese prisoners."
Seeing his back shaking and bowing as he left, Zhu Yuanzhang sat back in his seat. Zhu Yunwen also took the opportunity to speak:
Even if they didn't understand, the Japanese pirates around him knew that he was swearing. They angrily chopped off his head, kicked him into the city, and then turned to kill the lonely Ming army.
What Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect was that the combat effectiveness of the local garrison weakened so quickly. A dozen years ago, more than 400 garrison soldiers would have dared to go out of the city to confront thousands of Japanese pirates, but now...
"Besides, Gao Xu..." His voice gradually became smaller, as if he was thinking of Zhu Gaoxu's current experience. After a long silence, he said: "It's good for him to suffer some hardships this time. I hope that after this time, he can understand the four concepts of keeping a low profile and biding his time." Character."
In the Fujun Qianweifang, Zhu Gaoxu was lying shirtless on his bed at the moment, and a pair of rough hands were kneading the acupuncture points and muscles on his back. It felt so sore and refreshing.
The kneeling military attache explained: "During the inspection, the city wall of Jinzhou Zhongzuo Station had been raised from one foot to seven feet as required."
If North Korea shows disloyalty in the future, Liaodong may be in danger...
If you make five or six trips like this every day, you will probably be able to earn forty or fifty yuan a year, and you can buy a small courtyard with two entrances and two exits in the inner city of Nanjing.
"That's all..."
"When my brother went to see a doctor in June, the fee for a consultation was only ten cents. Now it has doubled."
"To be honest, although the common people in the village have heard rumors from military households that His Highness fired a 130-pound tiger-powered bow in a large church, they still don't believe that anyone can shoot a tiger-powered bow at the age of fifteen."
Zhu Yunwen looked worried: "Gao Xu said at the beginning that Japanese pirates are mostly in Nanyang, Fujian, and Guangdong and Guangxi."
As if this humiliation was not enough, they took off the head of the Qianhu official, stuck it with a wooden stick and placed it at the entrance of the military fort. It was very ironic.
He had long heard from Zhu Gaoxu that Japanese pirates might invade Liaodong and Shandong. He was only surprised, but not surprised, by the massacre of Zhongzuo.
"Except for some spices, Nanyang is really unprofitable. Sending troops is just a waste of money and food."
"It's just that now it seems that with His Highness's muscles and bones, not only a 130-pound Tiger Power Bow, but also a 150-pound bow, the common people are convinced."
Seeing him agree, Zhu Yuanzhang also looked at Zhu Jixi and Zhu Shangbing, who had not made much achievements in the past two months:
He was dressed in armor and had obviously come out of the palace.
However, hundreds of years ago today, Ming Dynasty’s internal and surgical medicine still stood at the apex of human medical civilization.
At present, Liaodong has only lost two people for a few years, and its armaments are already so lax, which is really worrying.
Seeing that the two boys understood the reason, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything more and continued to deal with the boring state affairs.
"If you want to send troops to Nanyang to encircle and suppress Japanese pirates, your Majesty will not agree unless there is peace in the north and southwest."
Here, Xu Huizu had just seen off several Huaixi military attachés, and Xu Zengshou hurriedly walked to the main hall.
At first, Zhu Yunwen thought it was Zhu Gaoxu's exaggeration, but he didn't expect that just a few months later, such a thing actually happened.
Just like this doctor, he only spent a quarter of an hour helping Zhu Gaoxu straighten his muscles and bones, and then he got the daily income of an ordinary Nanjing citizen.
The fierce fire burned the military fort, and all the military flags with the character '朜' fell to the ground. While they were trampled by the Japanese pirates, they also watched the Han people in the fort being slaughtered and the women being raped.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't think of anyone to send, so he stopped thinking about it.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt a little tired and full of doubts about Liaodong's defense.
Today's chief military officer in Liaodong is Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing joined the army during the Zhizheng period. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he followed Xu Da and Chang Yuchun in the Northern Expedition. Later, he worked with Tang He and King Chu to quell the rebellion of the Dong tribe in Huguang.
The doctor was a military doctor Lin Wuliu hired from the front guard of the government army, and he was old enough, so naturally he had been on the battlefield with the army.
In the past, when the soldiers and horses of the Liaodong Dusi were trained by Feng Sheng, Fu Youde and others, the Japanese pirates would not dare to invade Liaodong like this.
Although Zhou Xing cannot take into account all aspects of Liaodong, he can still defend Liaodong after all. Even though he is old now, he still has no problem guarding Liaodong.
"Hiss...comfortable!"
"Nowadays, the number of Japanese pirates fleeing north has far exceeded the ability of the northern coast to prepare Japanese soldiers. And this is only the north. My grandson is worried about the south..."
Now that I'm here, I don't know if it's because of time travel, but my body is getting stronger and my strength is getting more and more exaggerated.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu turned around and asked the doctor: "By the way, doctor, are there any military doctors in Nanjing who are very knowledgeable about surgery?"
In addition, as surgery advances, medical methods to promote wound healing are also constantly improving.
When he thought of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the anger in his chest was uncontrollable. He looked at Zhu Yunwen and ordered in a calm voice:
However, no matter how powerful an individual is, it cannot change the overall direction of a battle on the battlefield. If you want to learn, you still have to learn the art of war and be the enemy of thousands of people.
His scolding shocked everyone in the hall, and Zhu Yunwen stepped forward to pick up the memorial and took a look.
"What a bastard!" After listening to the military attache's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang cursed: "I know I can't defend it, but it only took half a day to break the city. Isn't this right?"
"No need." Xu Huizu shook his head, but explained: "I'm afraid Cao Guogong has already thought of the things you can think of. Maybe he is already in Gao Xu's house..."
Seeing him like this, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more angry. He had obviously reminded him repeatedly, but in the end such a scandal still happened.
