prosperous national teacher

When Mu Yan resigned from Qingzhou Governor and was appointed to go overseas, there were rumors that Mu Yan lost the emperor's trust and was going to die.

In this regard, most people with a clear head have to say, why is it here again, this group of people have to make up for Mu Yan's loss of the emperor's favor, so that they can feel comfortable, right?Normal people shouldn't think that Mu Yan has got some important task that only he can do?

Those talking nonsense said that for Mu Yan, they only had the psychological victory method available.They can't compare in talent and ability, and they can't compare in holy favor, so what else can they do except make up for Mu Yan's falling out of favor?

However, this brain-supplement victory won't last long, and the emperor soon ordered that Yi Ran, who had already been named King Chun, go with him.Yi Ran was awarded the title of King Chun, which opened the history of Yu Chao not using the fief to title the prince, that is, the prince no longer has a fief.

The emperor had only two sons, King Chun was valued by all the ministers, and King Chun was obviously trained by the virtuous king who was assisting the crown prince.The king of Chun went with him, and the speculation that Mu Yan was rejected by the emperor was pure bullshit.

This is not over yet, and soon after, the emperor decreed that the prince should also go with him.Now the ministers quit.

The crown prince is a daughter of gold, what should he do if the crown prince has some good or bad things about overseas missions?What's more, the emperor's two sons have both gone. If the boat capsizes, who will the emperor's throne be?

The emperor thought, not two sons, but three sons.He made another decree that the national teacher should go with him.

All the ministers performed bumping against the pillars in the court hall.

The emperor had no choice but to say, the world is so big, I can't see it, and I have to let my son see it, lest they become arrogant and become frogs at the bottom of the well.The two sons are neither too old nor too young, and they are just the right age. If he is older, he will not dare to let his son go when he is old.Since the two sons are going to go, naturally Mu Yan and Su Yi must go together.

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

But if all four of them died outside, regardless of Yu Chao's current prosperity, he would fall into turmoil in an instant.

But they can't say in public what to do if all four of them are dead, they can only keep admonishing and admonishing again and again.

The emperor said that I have made up my mind, so don't persuade my lovers, it's useless to persuade.Instead of talking about things that won't change, why don't you help me think about how to protect their safety.

Seeing that the emperor's attitude was so firm, some officials secretly speculated that the emperor actually sent the national teacher to go overseas to seek the elixir of immortality, right?

"This guess is getting more and more outrageous." Su Yi couldn't help complaining, "It's okay not to guess, guessing such an unreasonable thing, people who have such guesses must be extremely stupid."

After entering Beijing, Su Yi, who was mixed with the retired veteran cadres, criticized this kind of speculation, and the retired veteran cadres who had some doubts in their hearts immediately nodded. Yes, the national teacher is right, these people are ignorant, because It's stupid to say such a thing.

"I said it earlier, is it easier to live forever than being a butcher for an official? Since you can't become a high-ranking official by drinking a pill, how can you be immortal by drinking a pill?" Su Yi shook his head.

Retired veteran cadres thought about it, yes, it seems that the national teacher refuted this statement when he first entered the Beijing Miansheng, and used the story of the ancestor of his own sect to describe the hardships of the road of practice.

"Your Majesty has already sent ships out several times." Su Yi sighed, "I have also collected information from many overseas countries. Your Majesty knows how vast overseas is, and knows how many people are not weaker than Yu Chao besides Yu Chao." The country, if he is not vigilant, he will not be His Majesty. His Majesty wants to let the two Highnesses go out to 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 veteran cadres all know.It's just that they haven't thought that far.

After all, they didn't have personal experience, and China has always adhered to the idea that the sky is round and the whole Central Plains is the center of the whole world. The rest of the countries are leftovers from the world, so they don't need to pay more attention.

Not to mention far away, let’s just say that in Europe now, the Roman Empire is not dead yet.A few years ago, the "miracle medicine" incident was behind the shadows of some dignitaries in the Roman Empire.Although it was unofficial, it can be seen that the nobles of the Roman Empire coveted the rumored wealthy countries in the Middle East.It's just that there are plateaus in the west of Huaguo, and powerful nomads in the northwest. At present, only Yu Chao has barely lit up this skill in the navy, and the Roman Empire can only covet it.

Even though Yu Chao is not in any danger now, 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 just worried that the crown prince had gone overseas, leaving Yi Ran alone in the court.Although Yi Ran would not have the intention of competing for the crown prince's position, there would inevitably be people's hearts fluttering in the court, so it would be better to send the two princes out.Anyway, if something happened to the crown prince, the emperor would only adopt from the clan and would not choose Yi Ran.

"Dad, don't worry, I'm here." Su Yi slapped his chest, "Let's walk slowly along the coast, and stop whenever the weather is slightly bad, that is, the speed is slower. What danger?"

The emperor said angrily: "I am not worried about them, I am only worried about you! Promise me, you will never run around!"

Su Yi said, "Am I such a ignorant person?"

The emperor nodded: "Yes."

Su Yi suddenly felt extremely wronged.

Not only Su Yi, but even the queen was very reassuring to the prince and Yi Ran, and only nagged Su Yi, telling Su Yi not to mess around.

Su Yi was puzzled, he was always honest, what did he do?Why is everyone so worried about him?

Su Yi, who was unhappy, complained to his two younger brothers, and both younger brothers said they would protect Su Yi well.

Su Yi was even more speechless, and complained to Mu Yan again, Mu Yan thought for a while, and said: "Probably because you have encountered too many hardships, Kang Le, even if it wasn't your will, His Majesty and Empress are worried that something will come to you .”

Su Yi said: "Why are there so many troubles? They think too much."

Mu Yan smiled and said, "I hope so."

Although the emperor was worried, the matter was settled, so he could only personally send them off from the port.Before departure, the officials in Beijing were fooled by Su Yi, thinking that the emperor had asked the prince to go out to have a look, and they should also let their heirs go to have a look.So these courtiers who couldn't hit the pillars and couldn't stop His Majesty's decision squeezed their heads and wanted to send their own people.In the end, only the friends Su Yi knew could go.

Seeing the emperor ordered Wei Cheng, Wang Boyuan, Sima Hu, and Xie Huan to serve as Mu Yan's assistants, Su Yi was very happy: "We can just make two tables of mahjong."

Everyone laughed wryly, thinking that Su Yi really had a big heart.But during the trip, they finally gathered two tables of mahjong, and played mahjong whenever they had nothing to do.

Is this also the supernatural power of the national teacher's straight-talking?Su Yi said hehehe, this is obviously the charm of the quintessence of China.

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

For this long voyage, Su Yi dared to assure His Majesty the emperor that he was fully prepared.

In terms of force value, not only Yu Chao's ships were equipped with artillery, but Su Yi and the others also had a newly developed musket, and they even had a [-]-man musketeer guarding them.The musket newly developed by Yu Zhao was given to the frontier soldiers before it was given to them.

Not to mention that people like Yu Chao are not low in force value, and they are not afraid of anyone in close combat, but it is said that this musket is crushing against a cold weapon.

Furthermore, Su Yi also did a good job of protecting against infectious diseases, the big killers on the voyage.

They brought lime and herbs on board, sanitized on board at all times, and they also brought cats.

There have always been cats in China, and they did not come from Egypt.The earliest official record of cats in Huaguo is the legend of "civet cats for princes", but now Su Yi has discovered that farmers have civet cats to catch mice.So he domesticated raccoon cats early on, and this time he brought several cats on board to catch mice.

Rat infestation on sea ships has always been a headache. Yu Chao has sent sea ships out several times and tried every means to deal with rats. In the end, the most effective method was to raise cats.Although cats are not easy to tame, and sometimes they are too noisy at night, they would rather listen to the screaming cats and not be able to fall asleep at night than the rats on the boat.

Su Yi stipulated that everyone who came back from the shore must take a bath and boil and disinfect their clothes.And several key entourages must also bathe with soap, for which he made a lot of soap.The raw materials for soap are not particularly cheap these days.

When they lived on the shore, Su Yi also stipulated that they must take a bath and wash their clothes every day, and that the accommodation should be sprinkled with lime water and smoked with herbs.

Su Yi remembered that the sanitation conditions and habits in western countries were much worse than those in Huaguo, their sewage systems were not well done, and the Black Death once broke out.Although Su Yi got all these "knowledge" from novels, for safety's sake, he would rather troublesome.

In addition to protection, Su Yi also prepared enough medicine.Medicinal herbs and imperial physicians must be accompanied. When Su Yi was in Qingzhou, he also experimented with methods other than vaccination.Because of the inhumane society of the feudal society, human experiments on vaccinia were carried out on death row prisoners early, and all of them were successful.Now everyone on board has been vaccinated against smallpox. Even if they have never had smallpox before, they are not worried about getting smallpox during the long voyage.

Su Yi finally made a simple microscope and extracted penicillin.Because he had already done the experiment of extracting penicillin, and knew where the most penicillin was extracted, everything went smoothly except for the purification step.

Purification of penicillin requires freeze-drying method, that is, the liquid is frozen and placed in a vacuum to be directly sublimated and purified by heat radiation. However, current technology cannot achieve freeze-drying. Su Yi has not yet thought of a freeze-drying method. He just wrote this This theory, and ordered people to preserve the strains from generation to generation, and then moved his laboratory to the ship.

Although penicillin cannot be purified or produced on a large scale, if someone on board suffers from a disease that even the imperial doctor cannot cure, Su Yi can manually extract penicillin through the laboratory to relieve the urgent need.

For this reason, Su Yi gave skin tests to all important personnel on board. Fortunately, he, Mu Yan, his two younger brothers and four friends all adapted well to penicillin without any adverse reactions.As for the others, Su Yi couldn't help it.It was too difficult to extract penicillin, and he couldn't do a skin test on everyone in the entourage.However, if he encountered a disease that the imperial doctor could not solve, he would still use penicillin, and he only hoped that the person who got the disease would not be allergic at that time.

No, he just hoped that it would be best if no one got sick.

Su Yi has done the best he can do so far. If the protective measures he specified are followed, the possibility of 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, a big killer, was not used.

But the road was not without deaths.These people all died at the hands of people.

Su Yi and the others were cautious in every step, avoiding natural disasters, but not man-made disasters.

The fleet was the first to reduce its personnel when it was in the Nanyang Islands.There is no political power in the Nanyang Islands, only tribes.Mu Yan and others rested on the shore, sent people deep into the island to collect fresh water and food, and exchanged trade with the local tribes.There are merchants accompanying Mu Yan on board, they are very familiar with sea routes, it is better to entrust the business to them than Mu Yan and others to come forward in person.

But when they arrived at night, no one came back, so Mu Yan felt that something was wrong.On the second day, he sent people to look for it. Because of the preparations in advance, he did not suffer too many casualties when he encountered an attack. However, due to the terrain, some soldiers were still lost under the trap.

In the end, those tribes fled into the mountains under the attack of Yu Chao's army, they couldn't pursue them, and they didn't even collect all the corpses of their compatriots.

According to those who were caught, some of the bodies were burned, some were thrown into the water, and some were thrown to wild animals.And the reason why they attacked Yu Chao's team was very simple, it was for the goods of these people.

This tribe has done a lot of murder and robbery, but this time it is more courageous.Anyway, as long as they hide on the mountain, these people will have nothing to do with them.It is also impossible for outsiders to stay on the island for a long time. When these people leave, they will return to their original place and rebuild the tribe.

The fact is true, even if Yu Chao's accompanying troops are very strong and their weapons are very advanced, he cannot avenge his companions and cannot stay here for too long.

Not long after they set foot on overseas land, this kind of thing happened, which made the Yuchao fleet feel very heavy, and it also sounded the alarm for them.They can no longer take any chances, they must be suspicious of all outsiders they encounter.If those people have any changes, they would rather kill them by mistake than let their compatriots with dead bodies be unable to return to the country.

When doing business with overseas people again, Mu Yan told his subordinates to be ready for battle at all times.Su Yi also equipped each team with a signal flare. As long as the battle starts, no matter how many enemies there are, the signal flare must be released to let the people on the shore know.

Mu Yan and the others also canceled their plan to enter land.Originally, they thought of a relatively prosperous overseas country. If the capital of the other party was closer to the shore, they would visit other capitals under the escort of soldiers and establish friendly diplomatic relations.Now Mu Yan and the others request that the two His Highnesses and all the accompanying officials should not be too far away from the ship, they can only camp and live on the shore, and must not go deep, lest the other party will be disadvantageous to the fleet.What kind of diplomatic relations, they only send people to submit documents to the managers of the port cities. If the other party wants to send someone, they will wait, and if the other party asks us to go inland, they will ignore it.

Mu Yan and the others were careful enough, but they were still attacked many times.After Yuchao's ships have traded overseas many times, these countries have long known that Yuchao's fleet is full of big fat sheep, and this time Yuchao's sea-going ship is still an official trip. It is said that there are two princes on board , must carry many treasures.

Money touches people's hearts. Although they know that since it is Yuchao's official fleet, they must be protected by troops, but on their own territory, are they still afraid of outsiders?

There are quite a few people with this kind of thinking in mind. The fleet of Mu Yan and others encountered many large and small 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 others acted more and more toughly, the prince and Yi Ran finally came into contact with real battles, and finally had real lives in their hands.They became more resolute in the battle, compared to when they set off from Yu Chao, they looked like two different people.

As for Su Yi, this 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 and more accurate, and his psychological fluctuations became smaller and smaller when killing people.In the beginning, he was the one who provided the psychological counseling for the prince and Yi Ran after their first murder.

Along the way, Yuchao's fleet encountered successive attacks, and Yuchao's great reputation was also laid down in the attack, so that countries wherever they went, knew that there was a powerful empire in the east, and they had gods (devils). The same soldiers, wherever they go, can summon thunder and fire, and can blow people to pieces from a long distance.

It is said that there are national teachers from their country on their fleet. National teachers are wizards, mages, priests and other similar people who can use supernatural abilities, right?The abilities of these god-like (devil) soldiers must have been bestowed by their national teachers.

So if you want to defeat the people on Yu Chao's fleet, you must kill Yu Chao's national teacher first, right?

Su Yi:? ? ? ? ?

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

So Su Yi began to change his clothes frequently, and when he went ashore, the rest of the people no longer called him the national teacher. He even pretended to be a bodyguard or mixed into the ranks of officials, so as not to send someone to assassinate him every time there was a war.

Su Yi felt bitter.Who did he provoke?

Mu Yan sighed.He had already said that although Su Yi never caused trouble, things often troubled him.Look, it's like this again.

But fortunately, after Yuchao became famous, the second half of the road was much easier. They also did a few big trades, not to mention a lot of gold and silver, and the kingdom sent envoys and even members of the royal family to board the board. Yu Chao's ship will return with Mu Yan and others to meet the emperor of Yu Chao and establish friendly relations and stable routes with Yu Chao.

Since Yu Chao is so strong, they can't do robbery, so let's start a serious business.They couldn't bear to part with these good things brought by Yuchao merchants.For these good things, for the luxurious life of the nobles, they are willing to provide protection for Yuchao's merchants.

The purpose of Mu Yan and others' trip finally saw some results.

Mu Yan and others sailed all the way to the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, panning for a lot of gold in Africa. In the end, the gunpowder and herbs were almost exhausted, and the saltpeter and herbs they found from the shore could no longer meet the consumption, so Mu Yan and others returned to the voyage.

When returning to the voyage, the countries along the way had been frightened by Yuchao's fleet, and they did not stop at hostile places. The goods exchanged were all in countries with established diplomatic relations. The return journey was smooth, and only encountered a few pirates and A small group of bandits.

When Mu Yan and others set foot on Yu Chao's land again, two years had passed.After two years, the number of people returning to Yuchao has decreased by one-third.These are attrition in combat.

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

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

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

Su Yi and the others cried a lot when they landed on the southernmost land of the Yu Dynasty before reaching the port near the capital.Seeing the emperor and his ministers who came to welcome him this time, he couldn't help crying again.

The emperor and his ministers knew about the reduction of the fleet early on, but they didn't expect the reduction to be so large.

Shortly after the fleet returned to Beijing, the emperor led his officials and wore plain clothes to mourn the compatriots who had lost their souls in this long voyage, and expressed that they would take revenge.

After the voyage, the two princes no longer traveled together, but Su Yi dragged Mu Yan and sailed many times, hunting all the places where the Yuchao fleet was robbed on the way.

For this battle of revenge, later generations have mixed opinions.One kind of opinion thinks that this is Yuchao's just battle, while the other kind of opinion thinks that Yuchao is a robber.However, Yuchao's reputation spread far and wide again, creating a good environment for Yuchao's maritime trade.Only ships from other countries will apply for Yuchao's protection and fly Yuchao's flag.

This is how the country is strong.

And after Yuchao received and paid all the neighboring countries, going overseas to guard Yuchao's merchant ships became a new way for Yuchao's army to earn meritorious service, and it was also a new way for Yuchao to train troops.

Among them, there are many famous generals who are famous in history. Among them, Mu Yan, as the first to visit overseas, and the most important official of the Yu Dynasty after going through two dynasties in the end, is naturally the most famous.

Among them, the most famous one has a very wrong style of painting.This is Yu Chao's national teacher, Su Yi.

As long as Mu Yan sails away, the national teacher will definitely travel.He did not participate in any diplomatic activities, and there is no record of leading the army, but he is 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 supplementation, and it is a disease that needs to be cured.He's just a soy saucer.
