[Comprehensive History] Clothes are all over the world

The 24th year of Hongwu was not a peaceful year. Last year's winter was extremely cold, and several houses in Guangying Tianfu were crushed by snow, not to mention others.

But today's Ming Dynasty is at its peak, and it was at the beginning of the founding of the country that the people were united and energetic. Emperor Hongwu came from the folks who understood the bureaucracy's various detailed regulations for checking and filling in gaps. The government's response speed was timely. Finally, after some statistics , the number of deaths directly due to the cold winter in the entire Ming Dynasty was controlled within double digits.

Compared with Ming Dynasty, the grasslands in the north were not so lucky.

In recent years, the neighbors to the north have felt like the worst of luck.

First, Naha, the last and strongest fighter on the anti-Ming front, was surrendered by Da Ming, and then was attacked by Sapphire to Fishing Fisher Sea, where he captured the legal heir to the Khan throne. The strength of the Mongolian Yuan cavalry has staged what is called a person who is unlucky and will clog his teeth if he drinks cold water.

And just when they thought they would never be knocked down again, this cruel society told them that there is no worst luck, only worse luck.

The Mongolian Yuan army, whose strength has declined significantly, has not been able to fight the grain and grass from Daming in the past few years.For some reason, Daming seemed to know their movements. Every time he found out that it was the border guards of the soft persimmons, but when he arrived at the local area, he would smash the army's teeth.

Once or twice is normal, but after a few more times, some people will inevitably wonder, how can there be such a coincidence, is there some "story" in the middle.

After returning to the grasslands, the composition of the Mongolian army showed signs of returning from the professional military system of the Yuan Dynasty to the early tribal system. However, the deterrent power of the Golden Family has not yet been eliminated, and all tribes obeyed the orders.

However, the relationship between the tribes has a variety of complex relationship spectrums. In the past, there was pressure from the top, and these tribes could still be squeezed into a ball. Now the power of the top is weak, and the relationship between everyone is naturally impossible to be as close as before. .

Once there is suspicion in people's hearts, people's eyes will naturally be suspicious.

This one said that your tribe seemed to have sold a lot of sheep to the Han people a while ago, and the other said that your wife’s sister seems to have married a Han Chinese and gave birth to a few children. It's very heavy, it doesn't look like it's only filled with fur, is it also selling some prohibited items?

Immediately, those who flipped the table, those who scolded them angrily, and those who drew their knives all came out.

The final result was naturally that everyone broke up unhappy, saying that since you don't believe me, I still don't believe you, what if you stab me in the back when threshing grain, what to do, tear down the team.

Don't look at these people yelling loudly, in fact, everyone is more or less cruel.

Over the years, Daming has negotiated business with the tribes on the grassland through many affiliated tribes. Daming sold them the scarce salt on the grassland, and they transported the mined coal to Daming.

Your own grassland does not produce coal?It's okay, the neighbors in the extreme north have it, they can take the salt from Daming to the north to buy coal, and then sell it to Daming, although the road is a bit hard, there are still many tribes left due to the huge profits this trip.

But coal itself is an important resource on the grassland. Selling coal on the grassland to Daming was strictly prohibited not long after it was discovered. However, nomads naturally like freedom, and the grassland is boundless. Catch me.

As a result, many tribes have started a smuggling career where you catch me and flee.

Daming's grain and grass are getting harder and harder to harvest, but the money is getting easier and easier to earn. Frankly speaking, everyone has been an "official lord" for several generations before being sent back to the north. The belly is not used to pick up the sword and horse again. It is difficult to go back to the ancestors, but it is more convenient to do business.

It has to be said that during the 100 years of ruling the Han nationality, these upright northern Han people were more or less defiled by some "dross" in Han culture. Can't do it.

As for whether the tribes that belonged to Ming Dynasty inquired about them in the process of doing business, or used them... Hey, the most important thing to be a human being is not to be confused, some things are boring if you think too clearly.

And the current Ming Dynasty is indeed strong, the Central Army has been beaten to the ground, not to mention our poor and weak little tribe.

It's good that the combat power is scattered, but how can the grassland tribes with scattered hearts resist the Ming army that is united and the princes personally lead the battle?

For two years in a row, Daming has achieved the achievement of allowing the remnant Yuan troops who went south to plunder to get nothing.But the record that made the Ming army proud was fatal to the nomads on the grassland.

When the cold came, many tribes on the grassland suffered disasters and lost the support of rice grains and grains of the Han people. A large number of cattle and sheep froze to death and starved to death. The hungry tribes who lacked food swung their butcher knives at the neighbors next door. Before they could rejoice over the harvest, they turned around and found that their camp had been raided.

The old people and the left-behind clansmen were killed, their wives, children, cattle and sheep were robbed, and all they were left with was the tents that were set on fire.

The brightly colored flames in the ice and snow can freeze a person's blood vessels.

In the winter of last year, the frontier was repeatedly in emergency, and the huge war expenses and food and grass demand forced Emperor Hongwu to order to allow prisoners under capital crimes to redeem themselves by transporting millet to the north.

As soon as this method came out, the prisoners who had been sighing and playing mouse-catching burst into great enthusiasm and rushed northward.

Those who have the strength wear shackles to carry food to the north, and those who have no strength let their family hire people to go north. Relying on the huge criminal personnel of Ming Dynasty and their passion for self-help, the border guards of Ming Dynasty have no shortage of food and grass throughout the winter.

In the case of food and grass, the men of Ming Dynasty were not afraid of fighting. When the fierce battle was at its height, several Sai kings in the north rolled up their sleeves and raised their knives and went to the pass. In the crowd, he took off his armor and jacket, and he was shirtless and slashed at the thieves who attacked the city.

It is said that in the icy and snowy world, the heat emitted by his third uncle actually melted the flying snow before he got close to him, and it became a good story for the frontier fortress. The wolf-like and ferocious Beiyuan forces pushed back to the grassland.

But this is not the end, almost everyone thinks that after a winter, the neighbors on the prairie will go crazy in the spring when there is no harvest, so just after the first month, Emperor Hongwu ordered one gong and two including Fu Youde Hou led the troops to assist King Yan in preparing for the war in Beiping.

Beiping is the most flat place on the northern line of defense, and it is also the most convenient place for cavalry to attack. With rich combat experience, Zhu Yuanzhang believed that the neighbors on the grassland who had been downsizing after a winter must not have the strength to attack many passes with the Great Wall and natural moat defenses. Their only The possibility of victory is to concentrate on attacking Peiping.

In this regard, Peiping's Sai Wang Yan Wang Zhu Di has long been gearing up and waiting for his neighbors to challenge him.

Of course, not every prince in the old Zhu family is so capable, and here I have to mention Mubai's fifth uncle, Zhu Wei.

Unlike his elder brother Zhu Di, the king of Zhou, whose land is Kaifeng, is a solid man of culture, and his poems are even better. Except for the prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Wei is a solid scholar.

But also because his son's fighting strength is not strong, when he decided to seal the back cover, Emperor Hongwu arranged him in Kaifeng. Geographically, Kaifeng has a natural moat to the north of the Yellow River, and it is not close to the main front in the north. When the flood occurred, it was also a major grain-producing area. With the water network, it was also an important transportation hub in the central region.

For this literary and artistic son, Emperor Hongwu's only request was to let him be the backup of the northern king of Sai. In case of a fight, he would send food to the north, which is quite considerate.

But what Emperor Hongwu didn't expect was that in the 22nd year of Hongwu, that is, the second year after Lanyu attacked Yuerhai, the Yuan army launched a retaliatory onslaught, and the borders were in emergency one after another. During the delivery of food, he came into direct contact with the Yuan army storming the border.

The scene of blood foam flying across the sky shocked King Zhou, who had been living in a state of splendor. In addition, the battle was tense at that time, and the border might be breached at any time. Thinking that the next enemy would be Kaifeng once the border was breached, on the way back, Zhou Wang actually ran away to his hometown Fengyang to seek refuge.

This move made Zhu Yuanzhang very angry. He rejected everyone's pleadings and sent the five sons of the emperor to Yunnan for labor reform. Responsible under the assistance of Professor Wang Fu.

But no one could have imagined that the king of Zhou, who made irresponsible actions such as fleeing before the battle, would wake up and change his life aspirations after experiencing the hardships of the people in the process of allotment.

"On the way to Yunnan, His Royal Highness King Zhou fell ill and had to receive treatment locally."

A servant said respectfully: "His Royal Highness said that during the treatment process at the folk medical bureau, he found that the medical expenses of the folk were so high that the common people could not afford it, and the local doctors were of different quality, so after arriving in the Yunnan feudal land, he ordered the Zhou Palace to Li Heng, a good doctor, and several local medical craftsmen in Yunnan compiled and compiled this book."

As he spoke, the servant lifted up the thick stack of books in his hand, with a very humble gesture: "This book consists of eight volumes, and His Highness hopes that this book can be 'easy to get in and out of the sleeves, and convenient for the middle', so it is called "Xiuzhen Fang ", it was only written this year, and His Royal Highness King Zhou only printed one set. Hearing that His Royal Highness Taisun was collecting folk books, he asked his servants to bring them to His Highness Taisun to take care of them."

Hearing this, Mu Bai couldn't help being solemn, he immediately asked someone to fetch the book, and began to read it carefully in front of the servant.

Scholars in this era pay attention to medical studies regardless of family. Most of the scholars know some medical skills. When studying with Mr. Mu Bai, he also memorized a lot of medical skills. Therefore, after only reading a few pages, Mu Bai realized that this is the case. good book.

Huaxia's medical technology started from the primitive, but since the "Huangdi Neijing", medical treatment has gradually moved towards an independent road from medical treatment, and afterward, after the collation and compilation of doctors such as Zhang Zhongjing and Sun Simiao, Huaxia's medicine has officially entered the prescription era.

But today's prescriptions have been inherited from the Han and Tang Dynasties, and it has been thousands of years. The changing climate, coupled with the impact of manpower on the place, all these have caused many common medicines in the old prescriptions to become rare products.

At the same time, since then, folk doctors have discovered many new medicinal materials one after another as the country expanded and traded smoothly. For example, the herbal medicine "Sanqi" brought back by Mu Chun from Yunnan was not found in any previous medical books. Records, but excellent medicine.

Then, something interesting happened.

On the one hand, old prescriptions and medicinal materials are rare and expensive, and people look down on diseases. On the other hand, new medicinal materials are obviously excellent in all aspects, but because they are not in the prescription, many doctors do not know about them and dare not use them.

Realizing this, the king of Zhou collected a large number of local prescriptions. While collecting a large number of famous historical prescriptions, he also collected many new prescriptions regardless of their sources and medicinal materials.

He even made a special trip to visit You Doctor and Miao Doctor, just to get their experience and good prescriptions. In the eyes of ordinary doctors, these two have always been labeled as evil heretics, but for King Zhou, the only criterion he collects is One—as long as it is proven to be cured.

While opening up the source, the King of Zhou did not forget the people around him. This book contains the original prescriptions of the good doctors of the King Zhou's mansion.

Why does Mu Bai know this?Because these eight volumes of medical books also list the etiology and pathogenesis in addition to the prescriptions, and the user of the prescriptions is the King of Zhou himself.

To put it bluntly, this is King Zhou's medical record card, and he is willing to publish his medical record card to the public, and even endorses the good doctor of King Zhou's mansion with his own illness.

Mu Bai went through the information about surgery and traumatology that he knew more about in detail. Many of the prescriptions on it seemed familiar, or made him overwhelmed. It's downloaded, but the medical books are special, and he needs to be verified before they can be included.

After thinking for a while, Mu Bai asked again: "By the way, you just said that this book was printed by the emperor...?"

"Returning to Your Highness, yes, His Highness King Zhou bought a book printing office."

Mubai's eyes lit up immediately, oh, this is my friend!It's a pity that when he responded to Tian, ​​this Uncle Wang who shared his hobbies had already left, and occasionally returned to Beijing to be quiet and low-key, otherwise they would have been able to communicate with each other long ago!

At this moment, Mu Bai couldn't imagine how much he thought this uncle was unreliable back then. He only felt that their common hobbies drew their hearts closer. How could someone who loves to print books be a bad person?Mu Bai immediately said very unprincipled: "Please accompany the emperor to tell me, please ask the emperor to compile as many books on this kind of medicinal materials, and I will collect them all in the medical department. By the way, how about this, and accompany you After staying in Fujian for a few days, Gu wrote a letter to the emperor."

Having said that, Mu Bai immediately geared up.

What does it mean to be an uncle who loves to print books?That is a library!

But before Mu Xiaobai was overjoyed for a long time, a letter sent from Ying Tianfu made him fall into a daze.

The letter was written by his father, and Mu Bai would not mistake his old father's handwriting, but when his father wrote the letter, he didn't ask how he was doing, how his mission was, or when he would go back, but instead asked him if he was doing well. What happened if you didn't find your sweetheart?

Mu Bai read his father's letter over and over again, and then held it against the light and baked it on a candle. After making sure that there was no code word, he became even more puzzled.

Is there a problem with his comprehension ability, or is his father's memory messed up?He didn't come here for a blind date, did he?He obviously has a serious job!

Before Mu Bai could get angry because his hard work failed to gain the respect of his old father, he poured out a short note from the unsealed envelope. The condensed words tell the scariest things.

It turned out that on the fourth day after Mu Bai left Yingtian Mansion, his big dog, which was shivering in fear of the cold in front of him, found his grandfather to hug his thigh, crying and clamoring for the heater.

Just when his grandfather was soft-hearted and brought the dog to the Wuying Hall to work, this daring dog gnawed off a corner of his grandfather's beloved golden nanmu rhinoceros table case.

The crown prince tried his best to save Dabai who was almost turned into stewed dog meat, but he was unable to speak for his son, so let's face the storm and blind date by himself!

Being a father can give you the last tenderness, just to ask if you have a sweetheart. If you have a sweetheart, you'd better tell her earlier, so that dad can make arrangements for you.

Mu Bai: ...?

His Highness the Emperor Taisun showed a big confused face with question marks. He couldn't help but look up at the sky, trying to convey his confusion by seeing his colleagues in the real world through the high beams.

What's the matter, he just came to do a mission, and this mission also involves prostitution?
