    Cheng Yuyan's great cause of microbial exploration achieved unexpected results that Zhu Youxiao had not expected. In order to ensure that Cheng Yuyan could achieve greater success, Zhu Youxiao not only rewarded the craftsmen involved in the production of microscopes, but also established a special  Established an optical research group specializing in the production of telescopes and microscopes!

    Of course, although scientific research can suddenly open a door and allow humans to see a whole new field, entering this field requires a long and arduous exploration. Therefore, Cheng Yuyan's path to microbial research is destined to take a long time.  Only by exploring for a long time can we discover more!

    When Cheng Yuyan was engaged in microbial research, thousands of Mongolian herdsmen drove their cattle and sheep to the mutual market on the northern border of the Ming Dynasty. They suffered a white plague in the winter, and a large number of cattle, sheep and tribesmen froze to death.  Now they continue to exchange the remaining cattle and sheep for food from the Ming Dynasty!

    But when these herdsmen came to the mutual market, they learned an infuriating news. The merchants of the Ming Dynasty only exchanged grain for slaves, and cattle, sheep and horses could only be exchanged for things like tea bricks, cloth, and ironware!

    But what the herdsmen are lacking now is food. If they cannot exchange for enough food, what is the use of tea bricks, cloth, and ironware?  But food requires slaves to exchange for food. How can slaves come to exchange for food for the hardships of small tribes like them?

    So many herdsmen began to make noises. Some people shouted: "The Han people are too bullying. Not only do they seize our people as slaves, but now they also use food to force us to sell our relatives. The warriors on the grassland cannot tolerate this."  It¡¯s insulting, if they don¡¯t give it to us, they¡¯ll grab it with their machetes!¡±

    Bang¡ª¡ª

    With a muffled sound, the person who yelled the loudest had his head blown to pieces. At the same time, groups of Ming cavalry began to patrol outside the market. Obviously, as long as these warriors on the grassland really dare to use their knives to rob, these cavalry will  They will just keep them here forever!

    Since the Ming Dynasty opened the mutual market, it is not that no one has had bad ideas. There was even a large tribe that went out in full force, intending to grab a piece of the mutual market and flee far away. However, this tribe was defeated by the Ming army as soon as it appeared in the mutual market.  !

    Originally, everyone thought that the Ming army would stop here, but no one expected that the Ming army would chase the tribe's remnants and defeated generals for more than a thousand miles, and they would not stop until they killed the tribe completely!

    Although no one knows which tribe was wiped out, this kind of legend is too scary. Therefore, the warriors on the grassland now know deeply that those thin Ming soldiers really want to kill people, one by one.  More ferocious than the hungry wolves on the grassland!

    Therefore, when the cavalry of the Ming Army appeared, the grassland warriors who had been angry just now calmed down immediately, but the silence became quiet. If they could not exchange for enough food, they would be dead ends. This made the herdsmen feel extremely desperate!

    Suddenly, an old herdsman seemed to have made a huge determination and asked a grain merchant: "How much grain can a child be exchanged for?"

    The businessman looked at the old herdsman, pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Old man, we only want young and strong children. At your age"

    Before the businessman could finish speaking, the old herdsman pushed a young man next to him to the front, and said with helplessness and sadness in his tone: "I am old and no longer useful. How much food can I exchange for this kid?"

    The young man did not expect that the old herdsman would trade him for food, so he immediately cried: "Grandpa, I can herd horses and shepherd sheep, don't trade me for food!"

    Crystal tears fell from the old herdsman's cloudy eyes. He grabbed the boy with trembling hands and said truthfully: "Son, it's not that grandpa doesn't want you, but the tribe has suffered from white disaster. If you can't get food, you can only wait to starve to death. You have to go  Only by winning the Ming Dynasty can we survive!"

    The young man hugged the old herdsman and howled, which made people feel uncomfortable. But in the end, the old herdsman exchanged the young man for ten kilograms of grain, and then left without looking back. Everyone knew that the reason why the old herdsman did not look back was not because of his hard heart.  , but I can¡¯t bear to see my grandson whom I will never see again!

    The herdsmen were helpless, but they had to choose to surrender, so many of them followed the example of the old herdsmen, leaving their children behind and leaving with a small amount of food!

    This kind of sporadic slave trading did not last long, and then people from large tribes came to the exchange market with strings of slaves. There was no compassion in these people's eyes, but bloodthirsty excitement!

    When these people arrived at the exchange market, a businessman who was engaged in ironware business wrote the words "The Beacon Smoke Rises on the Prairie" on the kraft paper, then rolled up the kraft paper and stuffed it into a bamboo tube, sealed it with wax, and handed it to a guy next to him!

      The guy took the bamboo tube and left the stall without saying anything. He went to the stable and took a horse. When he came out of the market, he hit the horse and galloped away!

    Nanjing!

    Expeditionary Force Camp!

    Cao Ling summoned the guards' cavalry commander Geslen, infantry commanders Qi Yuangong and Ma Xianglin, Liaodong Navy commander Wang Hua, maritime support fleet commander Weisman, and Imperial Association Army commander Matsudaira Kubo to the commander's tent.  !

    Cao Ling looked at the generals standing under his command, and said with undisguised excitement on his face: "You are all very honored to be able to participate in the Ming Empire's first battle to destroy the country. I would like to inform you here,  No matter who dares to disobey the general's orders, waste the opportunity to fight, or escape from the battlefield, I will take off his head first!"

    When everyone heard this, they were all awe-struck and said in unison: "Don't worry, Commander, we will die for you!"

    Cao Ling nodded with satisfaction, took out a piece of paper, showed it in front of everyone and said: "Everyone saw it, this is the 'Slaughter Restriction Order' written and stamped by His Majesty himself. It clearly says on it that women and children will not be killed, but those who surrender will be surrendered."  Without killing, the massacre of the city will not last more than three days. This is the highest military order of our Japanese expeditionary force. No one is allowed to violate it. Do you all understand?"

    Everyone shouted again: "Understood!"

    Cao Ling put away the slaughter order and looked at Wang Hua, the commander of the Liaodong Navy: "Old Wang, I was originally wondering why General Mao would send you here, but yesterday I received a military report and your Majesty has already sent you.  The Liaodong Navy has sent a new gendarmerie commander, and you have been appointed as the gendarmerie commander of the Japanese Expeditionary Force. You are responsible for inspecting the military discipline of the entire army. You must understand your majesty¡¯s intention of doing this. I entrust you with the military discipline of the expeditionary force.  Got it!"

    When Wang Hua heard that Colonel Zhu You had appointed him, he couldn't help but feel excited, because he already knew that Colonel Zhu You wanted to establish the Royal Navy of the Ming Empire, so it was very likely that he would be appointed as the military police commander of the Japanese Expeditionary Force.  If he passes this test, then the position of commander of the Royal Navy Military Police will probably be his!

    With such a bright prospect, the heat in Wang Hua's heart instantly turned into a flame, and he held his head high and saluted: "Don't worry, Commander, your subordinates will fulfill their duties, remember merits and punishments, and will never show any favoritism!"

    Then Wang Hua bowed to everyone and said: "Your Majesty has trusted me and appointed me as the military police commander of the Japanese Expeditionary Force. If I offend you in the future, brothers, please don't come to try to gain friendship. After all, in the face of military law,  Brothers don¡¯t dare to act recklessly!¡±

    When everyone heard this, they didn¡¯t dare to say anything. They could only say: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Wang, we will definitely control the deployment and never cause trouble to Mr. Wang!¡±

    Seeing everyone giving face, Wang Hua smiled like a chrysanthemum. He cupped his fists and said, "Thank you all brothers for supporting me. I won't be too harsh on you in terms of credit!"

    Although Wang Hua said it politely, no one thought that Wang Hua was an easy talker. After all, Wang Hua was nicknamed the "Smiling Tiger" in the Liaodong Navy. Anyone who really didn't take him seriously would be looking for death!
