Chongzhen Chat Group

After showing off his Jin Yiwei badge, the world suddenly became peaceful.

However, Emperor Chongzhen was not in a good mood. When he entered Yangzhou City, he did not look for an inn to stay, but wandered around the city. Wait until evening and walk around the lively places with lights.

After the night got darker, Emperor Chongzhen returned to the inn, but he did not rest, but thought about the things he had seen with his own eyes.

This city of Yangzhou is indeed the famous fireworks place in the south. There are many brothels of all kinds. Especially after dusk, business is booming. Most of the people coming in and out were scholars and merchants.

Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen also noticed a detail. Those scholars went in and out of the place of fireworks, calling their friends, even though they were wearing clothes that were in compliance with the regulations. But from time to time, the corners of clothes lifted by the wind could be seen, and many scholars were wearing fancy clothes.

For this reason, he asked the captain of the Jinyi Guards to check. After confirming that these scholars had entered the land of fireworks, he took off their coats. According to the reply of the Imperial Guard Captain, at first glance, it was impossible to tell the difference between the man and woman inside based on their clothes.

It seems that the change in Jiangnan's customs cannot be changed in a short time! Emperor Chongzhen sighed with emotion and frowned slightly.

Judging from the experience of later generations, generally speaking, the army is a melting pot. Throwing those who are lazy and only know how to eat, drink and have fun into the army may change a person.

However, this is not the case in Ming Dynasty today. There is still a lot of professional discrimination among soldiers, and not everyone must serve in the military!

Perhaps it’s time to speed up the equal emphasis on civil and military affairs that I had previously envisioned!

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't sleep for a while thinking about this.

The reform of the military system will continue to deepen. For now, at least those in the military are still eager to be promoted through military merit. I am also doing the matter of being knighted for my military merits. Or, like the Qin Dynasty, the matter of military merit and nobility should be made more detailed and specific.

As far as the Ming Dynasty is concerned, military merit can be rewarded and promoted. However, in the past, rewards were mostly halved or less, and promotions depended on background, etc. These severely restricted the enthusiasm of soldiers to fight. Although this aspect has been changing since I traveled through time. However, I seem to have forgotten one thing, that is, I did not publicize the military merit rewards and advertise them widely.

The current territory of the Ming Dynasty is the broadest in history. To realize military merit, not only money can be used, but also grain fields. I don’t know how many grain fields there are in Liaodong alone, and there are enough reserves. What's more, there are also the Hetao Plain, including the front and back areas, as well as some important locations in Southeast Asia, those directly under the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, and his thoughts began to diverge.

The rewards for the officers of the New Army, as well as the original Dongjiang Army and Guan Ning Army, were all rewarded with Liaodong grain fields. These should be photographed during the harvest season, and then spread to various parts of the Ming Dynasty through chat groups for painters to Paint these paintings on some walls with lots of traffic, it should be useful!

Now that the Ming Dynasty is expanding outwards, there is no need to worry about wars! At least in North and South America, the fight is expected to take a long time. The armies from all over the Ming Dynasty can take turns to fight there. By the way, there is also the war against Tsarist Russia. The city construction and material reserves on the Tianshan Mountains have already reached a certain scale. Next, it depends on the situation. If possible, we can start a war to the west.

When the people of the Ming Dynasty all think that there are great benefits to being a soldier, more people will be willing to serve as soldiers, and then it will be a matter of course for them to implement the compulsory military service system.

The next day, Emperor Chongzhen went to the human trafficking market again to see the situation on the spot.

He found that most of the people traded were women and children. However, I heard from the local Jinyi Guardsman that the scale is much smaller now. In the past, when there was a natural disaster, this place would be particularly prosperous.

What surprised Emperor Chongzhen was that among the people to be sold, there were actually natives from Southeast Asia and black people. It was not known whether they were from Africa. But there are not many, just a few. Few people buy them, but many people see them as strange things.

Emperor Chongzhen was still watching. Suddenly Liu Xingzuo approached and whispered: "Master, it seems that someone is watching us. There are many people here. For the safety of the master and his wife, look..."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was a little surprised. He turned around and said to Liu Xingzuo: "Figure out what's going on!"

A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall, and Emperor Chongzhen did not take it too seriously. After all, if he did not pay attention to safety, he would be remonstrated by people both inside and outside the palace and would not let him leave the palace.

Just like that, Emperor Chongzhen left the crowded place and headed for the inn.

After he returned, Liu Xingzuo also understood the situation and came back to report: "Master, he is from the Yangzhou Prefecture. The Yangzhou Prefecture was a little suspicious of the reason why people were sent to escort those groups of people at the end of yesterday, so he specially sent someone to check it out. It depends.”

Before the change, such a thing would not have been possible.

But the problem now is that Emperor Chongzhen has been touring the South incognito more than once or twice. Although this southern tour was conducted incognito, it was as quiet as before. But the Jinyiwei suddenly got into trouble several times, and when they heard that the leaders were a man and a woman, the local officials who were jumping on strings became a little suspicious.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen decided to leave Yangzhou, otherwise the local officials would find out and he would not be able to patrol incognito.

This time, Emperor Chongzhen was going to visit Lin'an and headed south. When he arrived in Suzhou, he received a message through the chat group saying that everyone was hit by a typhoon, with the north being the hardest hit. At the same time, there are also chat group members in Fujian talking about the abnormal weather.

Seeing this situation, Emperor Chongzhen estimated that a typhoon was coming to Fujian and Zhejiang. So, he issued a typhoon warning through the chat group.

Because of this incident, he suddenly had another idea, which was to establish a disaster early warning system for Ming Dynasty through chat groups.

Typhoons are not easy to predict. After all, the northern part of Dayuan was affected by the disaster. It is a bit difficult to estimate where the wind direction will end up without satellite monitoring. However, for example, if there are continuous heavy rains in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, early warning can be given to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River that there may be floods. This early warning is more reliable.

With this idea in mind, Emperor Chongzhen immediately started making arrangements, and the schedule slowed down again.

On this day, Emperor Chongzhen and his party arrived at the border of Chongchuan, Jiangsu Province. They were having dinner in the lobby of a restaurant when they suddenly heard voices coming from the next table.

"Have you heard that the Chen family's daughter-in-law had a difficult delivery yesterday, and in the end she only managed to save the baby? What a tragedy!"

"Of course I have heard about the Chen family. But if you really want to say it, it is very common and normal. As the saying goes, giving birth to a child is like passing through the gate of hell. Those who die every year don't know that there are How many."

"..."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen happened to be paying attention to this content and couldn't help but listen attentively.

"Let me tell you, the Chen family is okay now. There is an old god in the family. If it were another family, sometimes the adults and children wouldn't be able to survive."

"I heard it too, but it seems that the Chen family's daughter-in-law's natal family is going to file a complaint with the government, saying that the Chen family is plotting to murder someone!"

"Yes, it is understandable that the old god's matter is difficult to accept. But as for murdering human lives, it is too exaggerated!"

"..."

Hearing what they said was strange, Emperor Chongzhen clasped his fists curiously and asked, "Excuse me, you two, what are you talking about?"

No matter how low-key Emperor Chongzhen and his entourage were, their temperament was still very eye-catching. When he asked this question, the two people who were discussing did not dare to neglect and returned the favor one after another. At the same time, the fatter diner replied: "Young master is from outside, right? Basically all of us in Chongchuan know this."

With that, he told Emperor Chongzhen what he knew, which surprised Emperor Chongzhen.

It turns out that there is a man named Chen Shigong in Chongchuan, with the courtesy name Yuren and the nickname Ruoxu. He was frail and sickly in his childhood, and later devoted himself to medicine. Because he has studied the books "Su Wen", "Difficult Classics" and "Qing Nang", he is especially good at surgery. He treats diseases and syndromes carefully, uses medicine appropriately, and skillfully uses knife and Gui. Therefore, people around him call him the old god.

This year, one of his great-grandsons' daughter-in-law had a difficult delivery, and there was nothing she could do to stabilize the mother-in-law. It was very likely that both adults and children would not be able to survive, so the elderly Chen Shigong was alarmed.

The final result is that it is said that Chen Shigong disemboweled the body, took out the child, and saved the child's life. But when the woman's family found out, they started making a fuss, saying that Chen Shigong was murdering people, and there was no such thing as disemboweling a child.

In the past two days, the commotion has been quite fierce, and it seems that they are going to file a complaint with the government.

Regarding this matter, everyone who knew it was talking a lot. Most people were surprised by Chen Shigong's actions. If it were someone else instead of Chen Shigong, the public opinion would probably be one-sided. Thanks to the many incidents in which Chen Shigong performed surgery to save people, some people felt that Chen Shigong's move was understandable.

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be very surprised after hearing this. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing during this patrol in private. If caesarean section was possible in this day and age, I don’t know how many women’s lives could be saved.

But in this day and age, is caesarean section possible?

With this in mind, Emperor Chongzhen ate his meal in a hurry and immediately rushed to Chenjiazhuang with his people according to the instructions of the locals.

It didn't take long for the group to arrive at their destination. At the intersection of Zhuangzi, a group of people were confronting each other. When they heard the sound of horse hooves approaching, they were all a little curious and turned their heads to look over.

Emperor Chongzhen rode up, sat on the horse, and asked them loudly: "Where is Chen Ruoxu?"

A group of people, tall and powerful, looked like they were either rich or noble. No matter which party they were from, they were a little confused. One of them replied with a little suspicion: "Who are you, and what do you want from my grandfather?"

At the same time, a person who was confronting this man also shouted: "Are you from the county government?"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he knew that they belonged to two sides, and immediately said to them: "You are originally in-laws, and no one wants to see unexpected things. Please discuss the matter carefully. There is no need to turn against each other!"

Upon hearing this, the first person to speak suddenly felt good feelings on his face. But the other person's expression changed and he said, "Is it because of the Chen family's reputation that your government will protect him?"

Obviously, the woman did not give up her prejudice because of Emperor Chongzhen's words.

"As far as I heard, this was just an accident." Emperor Chongzhen did not get angry and continued to persuade, "At least the children reported are also your relatives, right? Did you want to see the adults and children disappear together?"

Hearing this, the woman seemed to hesitate for a moment, but it was obvious that she was still unwilling to accept it, and responded loudly: "But it is too appalling to perform a cesarean section to remove the child. You will definitely die if they do this..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Chongzhen: "You are wrong. If you perform a cesarean section to remove the child, you will not necessarily die. It's just that the current medical level is not good enough, so it is shocking. If this kind of thing becomes common in the future If you don't, you won't be like this anymore. When the time comes..."

This time, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the woman: "Who are you? You are talking nonsense here, your stomach is broken, and you are still alive. I really thought you were Hua Tuo alive..."

Hearing that he was rude to Emperor Chongzhen, Liu Xingzuo and others couldn't help but become furious. Suddenly, a fierce force rushed towards him, scaring the woman into silence for some reason.

The man, on the other hand, was originally a little happy because he understood that the visitor was speaking for them, but at this time, he was also affected and froze.

However, Emperor Chongzhen did not say anything, so naturally his men would not mess around. When he saw the man in front of him and stopped talking, he immediately took over his topic and said: "Yes, you think it is possible when Hua Tuo is still alive, right? Hua Tuo is an ancient man, is it possible that our doctors of the Ming Dynasty have tried so hard to If we can't reach the level of Hua Tuo, or even exceed the level of Hua Tuo, can we use a caesarean section to remove the child to ensure the safety of the mother and child, and help the mother of the child survive the ordeal of giving birth?"

"..." At this moment, the two groups of men and women were stunned, because according to legend, Hua Tuo could even save lives after cutting his head open. If we really have this level of expertise, maybe it would really be possible to perform a cesarean section to extract a baby!

Seeing that they were silent, Emperor Chongzhen said sincerely: "Everyone, it is not appropriate to resolve this matter. You two are in-laws. I am here to be a peacemaker. The most important thing is to help future generations and improve doctors." level, and benefit future generations. This is why I came to visit Chen Ruoxu."

At this point, he said to the woman: "If we want to reduce the number of deaths caused by dystocia in the future, our daughters should not get married too early, let alone have children too early. I asked specifically that this time the woman will have only ten children. Three years old is too young and is not good for adults and children."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an excited voice: "Sir, may I ask which miracle doctor came to my humble home?"
