When Liu Chengzong left the Huduntu Khan tent, Ezhe was taught by Zuotutaiji, and he kowtowed to him respectfully and called him "Abbu."
By depriving Ezhe of his right to inherit the throne, Liu Shizi felt a little indebted to the child, so he told Lin Dan Khan that he would raise and train Ezhe just like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did to Jin Rixi.
In any case, this can be regarded as the consent of his parents. Liu Chengzong helped Ezhe up and said: "Since your father asked me to adopt you, your surname will be Liu from now on. We will get along well. You still have two
Brother, my adoptive father will not treat you badly... let's go and roast the sheep."
Subsequently, Liu Chengzong issued an order to convene all Qinghai generals for discussion early the next morning.
When he returned to the commander's tent, Lin Dan Khan's eight wives were still there, presenting him with the jade seal of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the nine-pin white banner symbolizing the Khan's power.
But to Liu Chengzong, this jade seal was just a stone.
If the First Emperor's jade seal that was smashed by the Queen Mother and Wang Shun in the Han Dynasty was still there, it would still be of some significance to Liu Shishi, but it is obviously difficult for the jade seal passed down to the country to escape the catastrophes of thousands of years of wind and rain.
Not to mention being thrown into lakes, wells, and burned with the emperor, in the Yuan Dynasty alone, the powerful Prime Minister Boyan would collect the world's jade seals and smooth out the writing, so there was no chance of the jade seals remaining.
This Bei Yuan jade seal is, at best, the Yuan Dynasty's jade seal. It is even possible that during the war in the early Ming Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty's jade seals were all gone, and this was just the jade seal carved by Bei Yuan himself.
What's the difference between Can Yuan seal carving jade seal and Liu Shishi carving his own seal?
The jade seal was sent to Xining Prefecture that night, but the nine-pin white seal was kept by Liu Chengzong, preparing to use it as a funeral ceremony for the last great Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
That night, Liu Chengzong planned the next four years of cultural study for Ezhe and made a plan for Qinghai-wide epidemic prevention work.
For Liu Chengzong, the smallpox plague had two sides. On the one hand, if it was infected, they were almost helpless when complications arose; on the other hand, if it was not infected, it was easy to prevent it.
Therefore, it is not complicated for the army to deal with this matter. It is just a task of statistics and troop deployment, planning an isolation area, using the army with antibodies as an isolation zone, dividing the huge army into small teams for management, and groups of soldiers are vaccinated against smallpox.
Just a vaccine.
It was late at night, Liu Chengzong put the pen back on Jiashan and was about to blow out the oil lamp, but he paused. He got up and moved the chair to open the curtain. He sat on the open space in front of the tent, looked at the stars in the sky and sighed silently. In his budget, the number of Han-Mongolian surrender troops in the Marshal's Mansion without antibodies was about 40,000. Even if the defeated Mongolian troops in Qinghai were subsequently recruited and surrendered, the maximum number would not exceed 50,000.
The composition is about 20,000 old Ming surrender troops, 20,000 Oirat surrender troops, and 10,000 Chahar surrender troops.
As for the vaccines stored by the Marshal's Mansion, according to Yang Yao's report, all the vaccines in Haixi should be useless. Hehuang Pox Village has 300 vaccines in reserve, and half of them should be able to be vaccinated.
That is, one hundred and fifty copies.
Yang Yao gave him a complete report in Hehuang. The prepared smallpox vaccine cannot be stored for a long time. Under normal circumstances, the vaccine is wrapped in paper, stored in a bamboo tube, and dried at room temperature in a closed environment.
The storage time after drying is about twenty to forty days.
This time depends on the outside temperature. If it is summer, it can only be stored for twenty days; but in cold winter, the vaccine still has more than half of the vaccination success rate after being stored for forty days.
This is all based on the experience of past acne doctors.
At this time, a full month has passed since the last vaccination before the war, and the vaccines in the Marshal's Mansion's reserve are on the verge of expiration.
The reason why only 300 copies are retained is because of the suggestion of Xining Prefecture that the population births in Hehuang Mountain District cannot be counted over the years, while the birth population in Hehuang Valley fluctuates between 10,000 and 30,000.
When the previous year was peaceful, more people were born the following year; when the previous year was turbulent, the following year fewer people were born. In recent years, the number of people born in the past few years has all been over 10,000.
However, this number is not an increase in the population of the Marshal's Mansion, because since the Marshal's Mansion took control of Hehuang, the number of new births has been very low, and the number of deaths every year has basically been fixed at more than 10,000.
This year due to war and smallpox, it is foreseeable that the number of deaths will exceed 20,000.
In fact, if the Marshal's Mansion had not had the increase in population brought about by the surrender of troops and annexation of territory, the population would actually have been experiencing negative growth every year.
However, when it comes to vaccination, there is no need to pay attention to the decrease in the population due to aging diseases.
Newborn children between one and three years old are vaccinated, and 300 doses of vaccine can supply temporary needs. As long as children are vaccinated, the Pox Village can continue to produce vaccines, form a healthy development, and supply the needs of the people.
But there is a loophole in this matter, which was ignored by Xining Prefecture, that is, the vaccination to the west of Xining Prefecture was completed before the war; the vaccination to the east of Xining Prefecture was completed during the Hehuang War.
As a result, there are not as many newborn vaccinations as the Marshal's Office expected.
This resulted in the vaccinia they stored being almost useless. According to the best possibility, 150 of the remaining vaccines could still be effective; if the storage conditions were worse, maybe only 30 could be effective.
Liu Chengzong didn't pay much attention to the small number of vaccines. In the past, Ming Dynasty was the only country in the world that had the ability to prevent smallpox.
But now, the Marshal's Office stands on the shoulders of the Ming Dynasty and uses the form of political power to popularize vaccination for all people. They are the people who have the most say on the smallpox vaccine.
Yang Yao has completed the design and manufacturing of safe vaccines at Hehuang Pox Village. Even if only one vaccine can be effective, the Marshal's Mansion can continuously produce new safe vaccines.
Although the reserve of vaccinia is not perfect, it is not a big problem. Liu Chengzong can check for leaks and fill in the gaps.
There is a vaccine that can be effective. The period for people to get smallpox is one and a half months, and the isolation time for infection is half a month. After the attenuation process of three generations of humans, cows, and monkeys, it only takes five months at most to cultivate it.
Develop a vaccine that is safer than before.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Even if there is not a single effective vaccine, within seven months, the Marshal's Mansion can still cultivate the relatively safest vaccine.
Therefore, smallpox was not a life-and-death crisis for the Marshal's Mansion, but a test of food, grass and baggage and organizational capabilities.
This crisis brought the greatest pressure to Liu Shishi. It was still the surrender of the 30,000-strong Junggar, Khoshote, and Chahar Mongolian troops who could not be disbanded and returned to farming and herding because they carried smallpox.
The Marshal's Mansion will be responsible for their food and grass problems during the vaccination period, which will bring an additional food and grass consumption of 80,000 to 160,000 dan to the Marshal's Mansion.
This almost doubled the Marshal's Mansion's consumption of military rations.
For Liu Chengzong, apart from food, there is nothing in this world that can make him worry.
It is the easiest thing to risk one's life to cause death. On the contrary, it is too difficult to let people survive.
Xining Prefecture has only prepared so much food and grass in preparation for this war with Oirat.
Transferring all the troops back to sea can save a little, but not much. The road consumption of transporting their baggage is not huge in the first place.
Fortunately, the year at the bottom of the Hehuang Valley is not bad this year. If the harvest of the five towns farm goes as planned, the 720,000 acres of fields may be able to be harvested. After buying 300,000 shi of raw grain, after processing, there can be about 200,000 yuan.
Finished grain worth about 100,000 dan.
We can only take one step at a time.
Just as Liu Shizi was about to go back to his tent to sleep, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the camp. Not long after, Tang Qi, who returned to camp, brought back the messenger and letters from Xining Prefecture.
Two replies from father Liu Xiangyu have arrived.
Liu Xiangyu's influence on this war was refreshing and surprising to Liu Chengzong who was sitting in front of the desk.
In his impression, the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty indeed surged in the early stage and gradually reached a climax, but then suddenly stopped and fell into a low ebb.
During this period, almost all the peasant armies were either defeated or killed, fled into the mountains and forests, surrendered to recruit troops, or even died out.
In the past, Liu Chengzong never thought about the reason for this situation. He only thought that after several years of chaos, the court gradually adapted to the situation of the rebel army and freed up its hands to suppress it.
Now that my father has put forward this point of view, it is very novel for him. The destruction of Eastern Mongolia resulted in the loss of foreign enemies in the three border towns of Shaanxi, which in turn strengthened the court's ability to suppress internal forces.
Following his father's ideas, it became particularly important to mobilize the Gansu frontier troops to invade the Tianshan Mountains.
This news undoubtedly excited Liu Chengzong. Tianshan, Oirat, Gansu frontier troops, caravans, Sanjiehui, Liu Chengzu and the Western Regions seemed to be connected together by iron rings, ultimately pointing to Gansu and Lanzhou.
When the Gansu border troops are mobilized and Lanzhou's supply is cut off, the empty Gansu officials will fight back desperately in the face of the pressure from the Marshal's Office and the threat of food shortages, but without food and pay, they will only receive limited support from the army.
This means that when the plan to invade the Tianshan Mountains takes shape, Gansu will be riddled with holes and will be easily defeated by the Marshal's Mansion. They will harvest Wuwei's Liangzhou Guards and Zhangye's Ganzhou Guards.
These two places are traditional grain-producing areas in Gansu and are along the Great Wall.
By breaking into the Tianshan Mountains to relieve the local population pressure, there are no decent opponents in the desert outside the border wall, which means that after the Marshal's Office takes over Gansu, it can be self-sufficient.
The more Liu Chengzong thought about it, the more excited he became. He flicked the oil lamp and drew three points on the white paper. Gansu, Lanzhou, and Xining formed a triangle as the grain-producing area of the Marshal's Mansion. Then their next strategic direction was obvious -
Ningxia.
The north can advance toward Ningxia along a border wall; the south can go straight down to Lintao, Gongchang, Chenbingfengxiang, and Guyuan lines.
On one side, it can advance towards Ordos and interrupt the Jin Kingdom's occupation of the Mongolian grasslands; on the other side, it can threaten Hanzhong and Xi'an.
The most important thing is that once this strategy is completed, behind them will be the stable northwest, and wherever the military front goes, the generalissimo will return to his loyal Yan'an Mansion!
Thinking of this, Liu Chengzong swept away his previous worries caused by the lack of food and grass next year, returned to reality with excitement, and drew up a plan for the vaccine management of Marshal Fu Tai Hospital.
The biggest problem with the vaccine at the moment is that it cannot be stored for a long time. Liu Chengzong can foresee that in the future, whether they are taking over Gansu or advancing towards Lanzhou, or even in the process of marching eastward, they will experience more such situations.
If they can come up with 30,000 vaccines at this time, it means they can save 100,000 stone in food and grass expenses.
Compared with so much food and grass, what big deal is it to store tens of thousands of small bamboo tubes?
Yang Yao's thinking is restricted by traditional acne doctors. Traditional acne doctors are very powerful, but the Marshal's Mansion has almost a national system, and the energy it can use is beyond the reach of ordinary acne doctors.
First of all, he expanded the scale of Pox Village from two in Haixi and Hehuang to establish medicine in nine locations including Haixi, Haibei, Xincheng, Xining, Pingrong, Laoya, Jiashun, Binggou and Dongguan. p>
Anyway, with the establishment of the Taiyuan Hospital, medicine will be established in these places, so just include acne clinics in medicine to ensure that every county, city, and town has acne clinics. Anyway, acne is also included in the eleven departments of medicine.
Well, it’s not a waste to do this.
Summer vaccine cannot be stored, but winter vaccine can be stored for forty days. It is obvious that the smallpox virus is cold-resistant but not heat-resistant. The vaccine should be stored directly in an ice-cold warehouse.
Therefore, under every medical department, an ice storage warehouse must be dug. It does not need to occupy a large area, nor does it require too much ice. It only needs to be able to store three thousand bamboo tubes of acne vaccines.
With this method, Liu Chengzong estimates that he can increase the storage time of the vaccine to forty days or even longer in the summer.
Vaccines are replaced by the acne doctor every month, and it doesn’t need to be more. If a newborn needs vaccination, he will vaccinate the newborn and use the acne scars to make new vaccines.
If there are not so many children to vaccinate, just find a few cows that have never had pox and vaccinate them, use their pox scabs to make new vaccines, and eliminate the old ones.
Under normal circumstances, each village does not need to keep 3,000 vaccines, as long as each village has 300 vaccines. On the eve of war preparations, large-scale purchases will be made within two months depending on the extent of the war, and the storage will be full.
This will ensure that the Marshal's Mansion has more than 20,000 vaccines available.
Even if there is a big battle, the number of surrendered troops will only be so many. Liu Chengzong has long discovered the paradox of war in this era.
Liu Chengzong has never seen an opponent who pays more attention to and is more capable of preparing food and grass for the army than him. Lack of food and grass is almost a common problem for the army in this era.
He thought about it and realized that apart from himself, the enemy with the highest ratio of soldiers to food and fodder should be Bai Yingzi.
It was the lame bandit leader who was shot to death by Liu Shizhi after robbing the earth fence on his way home from Yuhebao.
There were less than 200 thieves and soldiers, and they hauled more than 300 stones of grain. On average, each soldier carried 200 kilograms of grain. Several years passed after that, and Liu Chengzong never saw such a high ratio again.
In his opinion, if you want to see an enemy whose reserves of food and grass exceed those of Bai Yingzi, you probably have to go to the vicinity of the capital to see them.
Because in this era only the central court has the ability to reserve several months of food and grass for the army.
In addition, even if a single general soldier is able to command an army of 30,000 people, he can only squeeze out rations, and finally go out to fight with enough food and grass for three to five thousand people for a month.
And the wars in the future may not be like this one, with such bad luck, smallpox and wars will come together.
Under normal circumstances, it is only necessary to vaccinate the surrendered troops and the people in the newly conquered land. As long as smallpox does not spread on a large scale, it does not matter if the time slows down to a few months. There is enough time to prepare the vaccine.
After finishing preparations for the meeting, Liu Shizi calmly blew out the lights, then lay down on the couch, watching the white light from the horizon shining through the curtains, and fell into a deep sleep with the idea of returning to Xining to fully establish the six departments.
