Chen Feng speculated that smallpox must have been spreading in the city for a period of time before it broke out suddenly in just two or three days.Contrary to his expectations, the first people who got sick were the Britons and businessmen who traded here, and then the local people were also infected one after another. Chen Fenglai was not at the right time, but in just three days, nearly half of the people in Guli City were infected, and all the ports were closed. Any merchants who go to sea without permission, they are trapped in Guli.

His subordinates were uneasy, and asked Chen Feng: "Master, our ships have been detained, and it may not be easy to break through."

Chen Feng said with a smile: "Why break out, this may be our turning point."

"But smallpox is getting worse in this city, and my brothers are all afraid."

"Life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky, what's the use of being afraid. You follow me to rebel, less than [-]% of you can survive. Compared with smallpox, it is much more terrifying, and I have never seen you be afraid."

The subordinates thought about it, but they didn't realize that they were surrounded by Chen Feng.

They rebelled, and if they can kill one corrupt official, they will not lose money, and if they kill two, they will earn money, the same as how they can suffer from smallpox.

Chen Feng asked his subordinates to go out, and sat quietly in the room alone, looking at the dossier written by Gu Li.

That's a detailed account of the Thirty Years War of the Holy Roman Empire.

During this period of time, he met many foreign merchants, and he knew how to use the Gregorian calendar, and he also knew that according to the calendar, this year is 1627.In the information given by Yi Xin, this calendar was also used, but it was written in 1648—21 years later!

Yi Xin, how did he calculate what happened 21 years later?

Chen Feng was in a complicated mood.

In the past few months, when he was free on the boat, he thought hard, wondering what is the origin of Yi Xin.

Yi Xin is proficient at killing ducks, obviously he is used to the job, and he is not from a wealthy family.Yi Xin is good at everything, except cheating him and being greedy. It seems that he didn't eat it when he was a child, and he probably came from a poor family.

Yi Xin knew astronomy from the top, geography from the bottom, and knew many things that he had never heard of. He could even calculate things 21 years later. This is really too mysterious.After much deliberation, Chen Fengsi finally completed Yi Xin's life experience 21 years ago.

Gu Yixin, who was born in a poor family, was very intelligent when he was young. Later, his parents were forced to death by corrupt officials (?). He was accepted as an apprentice by him, taught astronomy and geography, and deduced ancient and modern methods.After the death of his master, Yi Xin has been promoted to a half-immortal, and under the pseudonym of Mr. Sai, he descended into the world and became a figure like a master of the Great Chu Kingdom.

Chen Feng thought about it, and felt that Yi Xin was quite pitiful, but no matter how pitiful he was, it was not a reason for him to lie to himself!

When Chen Feng thought of being cheated, he felt raging anger in his heart, but looking at the file in his hand, the handwriting became more and more scribbled and trembling. It was obvious that Yi Xin wrote it in a hurry on the carriage. There were even tear stains, and Yi Xin felt no better than him.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng felt disturbed, put down the file, and looked around.Guli City was originally a prosperous port city, but now because of the smallpox chaos, it is in depression and decay everywhere, pedestrians are in a hurry, and the entrance and exit have been guarded by the army of the Mughal Empire, and no one is allowed to enter or exit.

Infected people were also centralized for treatment.

When Chen Feng came out, he wanted to verify one of his conjectures.

That is, Yi Xin promoted the method of inoculating vaccinia across the country, and vaccinated him himself. Since Yi Xin is a half-immortal, he must be sure that this kind of vaccinia can really prevent smallpox?

He came out just to gamble once!

There is nothing wrong with betting on Yi Xin.

But why he wanted to prove that Yi Xin was right, Chen Feng couldn't explain it himself.

Probably, he believes that Yi Xin, whom he regards as a lifelong rival, must have this ability; and in his heart wrapped in resentment, there is a corner that is proud of such capable Yi Xin.

Yi Xin makes him hurt and hates him, but he can also fascinate him as always.

In the evening, Chen Feng returned to his residence.The subordinates have searched all over the place where they stayed, and when they saw him coming back from outside, they couldn't help asking: "Master, why did you go out?"

Chen Feng said to them: "Stay away from me."

The subordinates were stunned for a moment, thinking of the smallpox in Guli City, they were uneasy and did not dare to go forward.Chen Feng let them all go out, and read a book quietly in the room alone.After taking a nap, I woke up the next day with no discomfort in my body.

For five days in a row, Chen Feng was fine, without any sign of fever.He called his subordinates together, and there were more than 100 people including the boatmen, but none of them were infected.After his inquiry, these people had already been vaccinated with cowpox when they were in Dachu.

Seeing that Chen Feng was fine, the subordinates couldn't help wondering, and hesitated: "Master, does the cowpox really have an effect on smallpox?"

Chen Feng suppressed the little excitement in his heart, and said: "Don't make any noise for now, go out and do what you need to do."

After his subordinates and the boatmen dispersed, Chen Feng suddenly stood up, looked at the file on the desk, and murmured: "Yixin will definitely not let me down..."

After walking around for a couple of times, Chen Feng spurned himself a little, Yi Xin, the enemy who killed a thousand swords, lied to him mercilessly, what is he doing now?Are you actually proud of Yi Xin?Is he out of his mind?

Chen Feng calmed down, put on his cloak, and walked under the scorching sun.The guards outside asked him: "Is the master going out?"

Chen Feng said: "I'm going to visit Sir Roy, you choose two smart people to follow."

This Sir Roy was the envoy of the British East India Company who came to meet the Mughal Emperor Jahangir, and Chen Feng believed that he was the stepping stone to the world further west.

In order to prevent smallpox, almost no one in the city moved around. As expected, they were stopped at the gate of Roy's mansion.

"On behalf of the Great Chu Merchant, I came to greet Sir Roy." Chen Feng's stunning face appeared from under the cloak, evoking a smile: "At the same time, I offer him a good prescription that can resist smallpox for life!"

No matter how bad smallpox is in East Asia and farther Europe, the prevention and control of smallpox in Dachu is coming to an end.There are only five or six patients left in Jiangyin. In this way, the doctors can take care of the patients with all their heart. It will not be long before smallpox will disappear.

Geng Chongming was also released, and Jiangzhi County sent him outside the county seat himself.

Now it is August, the rainy season is over, the sun is burning hot above her head, Lan'er has a lotus leaf on her little head, and she is held in Ruan Niang's arms.

The magistrate of Jiang County seemed a little embarrassed, and said: "In fact, the people in our county are quite hospitable, but you are not in time. Next time you come, I will invite you to drink our daughter red here."

Geng Chongming readily agreed and left with his wife and daughter.When he went south, he passed through Henan, Huguang, Jiangxi, and arrived in Zhejiang. Now he went north, he could go from South Zhili to Kaifeng, and then into North Zhili.

This way back is a different scene from the time we came back.In the territory of Nanzhili, we can see many fertile fields. Every household in the rice fields is harvesting wheat, revealing stubbles of straw. Two or three-year-old children are also picking rice ears in the fields with a big basket on their shoulders.

In addition, among the ridges of the hillside fields, farmers can be seen from time to time planting seedlings one by one.Geng Chongming was originally a farmer, but he had never seen this kind of crop. After asking the farmers, he found out that it was actually potatoes.

An old man wiped his sweat and smiled at him: "This is a potato seedling given by His Majesty. It doesn't cost money, it's given to us to plant! You don't need to hand in the harvest. The scholar in the village said that these potatoes don't last long." Let it go, you can’t eat it when it sprouts, and you need to eat it after the harvest before spring, so the food can be saved.”

Geng Chongming was stunned, and asked: "Is it true that His Majesty will not take a penny for such a precious thing as potatoes?"

The old man said: "That's not true! Our Majesty, that is Mingjun!"

Geng Chongming continued to walk north, and sure enough, he saw many potatoes growing along the way.Potatoes are so easy to feed, they can be grown in not very fertile soil, and the price is high, Geng Chongming, a farmer, is eager to go back to his hometown in Fengxiang Mansion, Shaanxi to grow potatoes.

He said to Ruan Niang: "After I have gone all over the world for Your Majesty, I will take you and Lan'er back to Fengxiang Mansion to plant potatoes."

He picked Lan'er up and said with a smile: "In the future, Lan Niuniu will have as many potato pancakes as she wants."

Geng Chongming took his wife and daughter along the way through the Yellow River. Although it was already August and there was not much rain, the rising river still did not recede.

When passing by a tributary of the Yellow River not far from the closed city, he suddenly heard a loud noise, and felt the ground under his feet tremble. Suddenly, the birds flew and the leaves trembled. After the loud noise passed, Geng Chongming hurried to follow the sound , before he got close, he saw a few men in official uniforms and craftsmen hesitantly coming out from the hiding place, like cats that came out to hunt for food all winter.

Geng Chongming caught up and was surprised when he saw the scene in front of him. The earth seemed to have opened a ditch, and there were sand and gravel scattered in the ditch. A local official was urging the craftsmen to dig up the sand quickly. , listen to him, there is someone buried here!

When Geng Chongming heard this, he jumped down to help without saying a word.After digging for a while, there was indeed a piece of robes, he hurriedly called for someone, and all the men rushed to dig up the sand and gravel, and finally got the person underneath out.

This ashen-faced man with blood, sweat and mud on his face is none other than Nie Guangyu.

He and the water control craftsmen came to this tributary and found an abandoned canal not far away, which used to lead the water of the Yellow River into the sea before the Song Dynasty.After the Zhao and Song Dynasties, the Yellow River diverted its course for more than ten years, and the tributary did not leave here, and the canal was gradually abandoned. Nie Guangyu wanted to open up the tributary and the canal, and divert the water of the Yellow River into the sea again.

If the peasants are recruited to dig the canal bit by bit, it is not known how long it will take.When he left Beijing, His Majesty made a special statement that if civilian husbands were recruited, they would have to be paid at the price of ten bills a day. This was unprecedented in Dachu. Nie Guangyu was stunned, secretly thinking that the money His Majesty gave was enough for him to hire How many people dug for how long.

Nie Guangyu held his breath, he had to take care of the Yellow River, but His Majesty only allocated so much money, and after a long time, it would not be enough.Nie Guangyu thought about using a gun to blow up the canal in the middle.

The local officials all advised him to be cautious. This is not a joke. Tons of gunpowder are piled up at the bottom of the river. Who would dare to point the lead wire?

Seeing that no one else dared to move, Nie Guangyu volunteered and went to click the fuse.

It was really too late when he ran back, the gravel and mud covered the sky and knocked him down.At that moment, there was only one thought in his mind: I, Nie Guangyu, must not die here!I haven't returned to Beijing in a good way, those who stepped on my foot, I want them to kneel at my feet and cry bitterly!

As soon as Geng Chongming got him up, a group of people surrounded him and carried Nie Guangyu to find the doctor.Geng Chongming was worried, wondering if the young man would recover from such a serious injury.There is also this canal, if it can be opened up, it will definitely benefit the people on both sides of the strait.

Geng Chongming recorded the matter of Nie Guangyu in the account book, and returned to the capital with his wife and daughter.

It was early September when he arrived in the capital, and the officials and imperial doctors who were sent to treat smallpox had already returned to Beijing before him.

Because the vast majority of the people were vaccinated, the prevention and treatment of smallpox this time was not too difficult, and because of the help of well-informed imperial doctors, the mortality rate of smallpox patients this time was controlled below [-]%. For the rest of their lives, the patients had more or less pockmarks on their faces.

After these incidents, the people of Dachu finally understood that vaccinating can really save lives. Those who resisted vaccinating in the past are afraid to say anything now; There are also some ignorant villagers who evade and resist vaccination. Now that they know the benefits of vaccination, they go to the government's yamen one after another to ask for vaccination.

Wei Qi can be considered elated now, walking with wind.Gunzhou, where he lives, is very close to Linqing. Linqing is a port city. Cargo ships from the south going north along the canal must pass through Linqing. Therefore, after the outbreak of smallpox in Jiangyin Mansion, Linqing immediately had two or three people infected with the disease. of the people.

Wei Qi is facing a big enemy, Gunzhou Mansion is so close to Linqing, no matter how strict he is to guard against it, there are still some omissions, if smallpox spreads to Gunzhou, his hard work for more than half a year will be in vain.

However, it never occurred to him that there was indeed one case of smallpox in Gunzhou Prefecture, but it was only this case, and after Wei Qi's investigation, this person came from the south with his relatives in the past month, and was not a native of Gunzhou.

This person had not been vaccinated in his original place of residence, but after coming to Dagon Prefecture and walking around, he contracted smallpox.Except for this person, everyone in Gunzhou Mansion who had been vaccinated was safe and sound.

The praises that Wei Qi has heard these days have almost worn out his ears. After Wei Qi is proud, he often feels scared. If he had stopped King Qi from spreading rumors and vaccination in time, how many people would die in the Dagon Prefecture now? ?Not even his family members were spared!

When Wei Qi had nothing to do, he went up to the mountain to worship Buddha. No matter who came up with this kind of cowpox method, he needs to thank him very much!

So five days later, Fang Congjian, who was in Liaodong, received the package of clothes sent from Gunzhou.

He pressed his fingerprints, took the package away, and wondered if the clothes could handle the Jian captives?Could Fu Shaoge be fooling Jiao Liewei?

Yes, Fang Congjian and Fu Shaoge, who killed a thousand swords, met again.

He couldn't figure it out, he had already gone to Liaodong to serve as a soldier, how could he bump into Fu Shaoge?Because of his martial arts skills, when he was attacked by a small group of Jianlu troops several times, he bravely killed the enemy, and soon got Jiao Liewei's attention, promoted him to be a centurion, and imprisoned 110 people.In the last battle, three of his subordinates died, so Jiao Liewei made up three more for him. It is said that he committed a crime and was dispatched to Liaodong.

One of these three people is Fu Shaoge.

Seeing Fu Shaoge again, Fang Congjian was a little uncomfortable. Although he felt that he was right to report Fu Shaoge to His Majesty, but after all, Fu Shaoge was someone he admired. Bo came to kill him to silence him, but since Cheng Kuan Bo didn't follow, Fu Shaoge's boxing skills were not as good as his, so he was a little relieved.

Moreover, Fu Shaoge is frank and frank, and he doesn't care if the other party leaves without saying goodbye, or even informs the emperor.Fang Congjian pretended not to know him, so Fu Shaoge didn't get close to him, and told him what to do, and he did it honestly.

But Fang Congjian knows that Fu Shaoge is not a fuel-efficient lamp, let alone a weak person who will be slaughtered.

When Fang Congjian first came, he was often bullied because he was a recruit.Some people even touched his bed in the middle of the night. Fang Congjian beat them up so that no one dared to bully him.Fu Shaoge had just arrived, his appearance was extremely outstanding, and he also looked sickly, so there was a ruthless soldier who wanted to take advantage of him, but he died not long after.

From then on, no one in the barracks dared to provoke Fu Shaoge, and everyone stayed away from him.But Fu Shaoge didn't care at all, he still did his own thing every day, and lay down in the guard to rest.

The crops are about to mature recently—the crops in the Liaodong area mature later than in the south. It is in summer and autumn.Jiao Liewei still remembers that Jianlu once sent a letter to Dachu, demanding that Dachu pay 200 million taels of silver, and take the Daling River as the boundary.

During this period of time, Jianlu often sent cavalry to test, maybe they were planning to go south, Jiao Liewei, as the governor of Guan Jin, how could he not worry.

However, just a while ago, Fu Shaoge offered Jiao Liewei a plan to use smallpox to deal with the Jian captives. Today, Fang Congjian received this package of clothes urgently delivered from Gunzhou.

Fang Congjian handed the package to Fu Shaoge, and asked him: "What are you going to do? Don't kill Jianlu, but trap us."

Fu Shaoge said: "Everyone in our army has been inoculated with cowpox, don't worry."

He spread the cloth sheet on the ground, unwrapped the package, shook the dirty clothes, and the scabs and other debris in the clothes fell on the cloth sheet.Fu Shaoge collected the debris and put it into a small bottle.

Fang Congjian squatted on the ground and asked, "Is this really useful?"

Fu Shaoge smiled casually, put the bottle away, and said, "Fang Baihu, I have to act tonight, and I need to send someone to meet me."

"Where are you going?"

"Shengjing."

Shengjing is the capital of Jianlu.

Fang Congjian took a cold breath and thought for a while: "I'll go with you."

Fang Congjian understood Fu Shaoge's thoughts.Shengjing is a capital city with a large population, which is conducive to the spread of smallpox. In addition, there are many high-ranking officials and nobles in that place, as well as civil servants who have been reused after being reduced to gold. If you can try your knife on them, it will be more useful than finding a random Jurchen to poison you. many.

He had to go with Fu Shaoge, firstly, he had no one with better martial arts than himself, and secondly, he had to keep an eye on Fu Shaoge to prevent this person from escaping.

Fang Congjian reported to the head of the thousand households, and that night he and Fu Shaoge rode their horses towards Shengjing.After crossing the Daling River and Xiping Fort, the temperature gradually dropped. At night, the two lit a bonfire and slept separately. When they woke up in the morning, they often hugged each other.

After passing the boundary of Xiping Fort, the two changed into Jurchen costumes and entered Shengjing.Fu Shaoge asked Fang Congjian in private: "Fang Baihu, we are the first to test the sword, who should we start with?"

Fang Congjian made fun of him: "Why, I said start with that Abach, can you really poison him?"

Abah is the heir of Nur Haran and the current leader of Dajin.

Fu Shaoge smiled and said, "I am willing to give it a try."

After entering Shengjing, the two found a place to live. During the day, Fu Shaoge went out for a walk, and then got Zhang Shengjing's map and came back.In the evening, Fang Congjian saw that he had lit the lamp and was studying the course of action centered on Abach's mansion.

Frightened by him, Fang Congjian asked him, "Are you crazy? Are you really going to poison Abach!"

Fu Shaoge looked at him and said, "Why don't you give it a try, at worst, you will die."

Damn it, Fang Congjian understands why His Majesty is so strict about corruption, and Fu Shaoge dares to break ground when he is too old. This man is a lunatic who doesn't care about life and death at all!

Fang Congjian stopped him: "No, kill Abach, he still has a few brothers, who are also difficult to deal with, the price we have to pay is too high, it's not worth it. It's better to kill Pu Juncheng, a traitor dog, he He is obviously an official of our Han people, but he helped Jianlu to make suggestions, and even instigated many officials of the Great Chu, I think he deserves to die the most."

Fu Shaoge nodded and said, "Fortunately, you are not too stupid."

Fang Congjian became angry immediately, and scolded, "What do you mean?"

Fu Shaoge smiled, put away the map, and took out another map, which showed the location of Pu Juncheng's residence and the surrounding cities.

After a long time, did Fu Shaoge also intend to mess with Pu Juncheng?

Fu Shaoge saw Fang Congjian standing on the side aggressively, and said with a smile: "Fang Baihu, don't get so angry, let's see what we do."

The two planned for one night, and wandered around Pu Juncheng's mansion the next day. That night, the two sneaked into Pu Juncheng's mansion.Fang Congjian was watching the wind at the back door, and Fu Shaoge stepped into Pu Juncheng's bedroom.

After a while, Fu Shaoge came out of the room, joined Fang Congjian, and gave him a slight nod, which meant it was done.

Fang Congjian breathed a sigh of relief, and he and Fu Shaoge walked around the backyard, preparing to leave according to the established route.At this moment, a person came out of the hut, bumped into two people, shouted, but after a while, the two were surrounded by generals.

Fu Shaoge learned martial arts after he came to Liaodong, his fists and feet are commonplace, but he is more clever and knows how to use his strength to strike.Relying on his excellent martial arts skills, Fang Congjian jumped up, jumped onto the wall, and said to Fu Shaoge, "Give me your hand!"

The author has something to say: Chen Feng: I know!My wife must be a demigod!

Gu Li: My husband added a character to me without authorization, what should I do?Very anxious to wait online.

PS Can Old Geng stop thinking about farming, your FLAG is standing up!
