Chapter 1238 Dragon Heads Up

On the second day of February in the 11th year of Wanli, when the dragon raised its head, Chen Shigong, the chief medical officer, was ordered by the emperor to enter Tongzhou, and every household lit firecrackers.

On the day Chen Shigong entered the city, the medical household team failed to identify the possible source of infection during the pathological investigation, and at night when each team held a meeting, they listed a large number of possible sources of infection: dirty clothes, well water, dogs, sheep, donkeys, Horses, cats, mice, people.

The only thing they can be sure of is that among the five insects, the second scale feather insect does not seem to have symptoms of plague infection, and the three insects Ying, Mao, and Kun are all susceptible to plague.

In the ancient theory of the five insects, insects are humans, caterpillars are beasts, scale insects are aquatic animals, feather insects are birds and birds, and insects are real bugs.

More than 37 fully armed medical household teams were divided into [-] teams, and went deep into the neighborhoods of Tongzhou to investigate the illness, and encountered a lot of help.

First, the wounded soldiers of the Zhejiang Army, the plague first spread among them, 96 of the more than [-] wounded soldiers were sick, and the highest rank in the army was the three hundred captains. In the past many people would not even be classified as wounded soldiers.

Because there are too few people who actually suffered battle injuries, most of them were frostbite, which is the painful mark of surviving the whole winter in the freezing Saibei.

Besides frostbite, falls and burns account for the largest proportion. The former is more common than the latter. Ninety-ninety percent of these two injuries are caused by flying fish soldiers.

Limited by objective conditions, as a new type of weapon, the Zhejiang Army did not have any special training on how to use and ride the flying fish. They exchanged a very small number of people for a battle result equivalent to [-] soldiers, and the price they paid was quite a lot... In this era, a The man in heaven was called Wanhu, and he died later.

They go to heaven to suppress the fear in human nature and hold the will to die. After the sparks ignite the grassland, many people have no consciousness of landing at all. It's so easy, no one knows where they will land, some hit a cliff, some flying fish are torn by branches during landing, and some are afraid to jump out of the pawn basket during the rapid descent.

Along with him, he went to Tongzhou for treatment in the Azure Dragon Army column, and there were a few more unlucky than the Zhejiang Army Feiyu soldiers. They were fried Mongolian riders. Simply put the horses on the spot, light a fire, eat something and sleep, if you don't go to the troops, the troops will come to you.

With such a wish, the brothers were sleeping soundly, and there were ghosts screaming above their heads, and a huge empty boat hit their heads, which was completely unwarranted.

It was the only case of a perfect emergency landing by the pilots of the Zhejiang Army. The flying fish was not damaged, the crew was not injured, and it landed on the fire perfectly.

A fly in the ointment, crushing four sleeping allies.

Because of this case, Qi Jiguang not only added the Flying Fish Division to his book of war, but also specifically set a prerequisite for the Flying Fish tactics. In the dark night, at [-] to [-] miles away from the target with the wind, he must send out riders in advance. Light a bonfire on the ground as the default landing place for flying fish. Especially in the dark, the area around the landing site should be open and flat, and people have to run far away to prepare for it.

This also counts as meaning.

After half a day of inquiry and statistics, Chen Shigong basically reviewed the outbreak of the plague in Tongzhou.

The wounded soldiers of the Zhejiang Army have extremely high discipline. At the beginning of the spread of the plague, they had already completed the isolation and investigation internally. All quarantined so that the infection spread among them and was completely contained.

The source of the spread of the Tongzhou plague was not the wounded soldiers, but the unprotected doctors and rats on the military ranks in Tongzhou City.

Many sick and wounded soldiers who survived the disease have a common memory. They saw rats on the military column. At that time, they joked that the mouse was also sitting in the military ranks with him. Some people even said that the mouse would go back to Tongzhou with them to record meritorious service, and he would become a general mouse in the future.

Unexpectedly, it was General Plague who arrived.

Doctors were conscripted by the military master to see patients in the isolation tent of the military camp. After seeing the patients, they went back to decoct medicine, and then went to the clinic to treat other common people with bruises, headaches and brain fever in the city. This is precisely the group of people with the weakest resistance. Households fell ill one after another, and then the people treated by them couldn't afford it, and then one family after another, the outbreak broke out.

It's a big deal.

The Zhizhou who died was a good man and a ruthless man. He was a child in his forties all his life and finally passed the Jinshi examination in the second year of Wanli. He served as the magistrate of three subordinate counties in Tongzhou. It is beneficial to governance, but he always feels sorry for the death of many people. When Chen Shigong asked the eldest son of his family, he repeatedly heard the child keep saying that his father always thought of the people who died in the Wuqing plague.

This time, he simply lived in the neighborhood where the epidemic broke out at the beginning of the plague. With a breath of righteousness, he sent all the normal people out of the epidemic square, but kept himself in the epidemic square forever.

Although Zhizhou's most upright and upright aura in the world did not stop the plague, he left a full 320-word epidemic record for Chen Shigong. There are also records of [-] cases of common people who fell ill under his rule from beginning to end, and his own physical and psychological changes from beginning to end after his illness, which are detailed to every moment of every hour.

Chen Shigong even thought that Zhizhou didn't need to record his own physical changes. The fonts on these hundreds of sheets of paper, from the beginning like printed standard block letters, to the last sixty or so pages were scrawled, allowing him to see a person The righteousness in the heart and the disappearance of life.

"Copy this record of Zhizhou's epidemic situation outside the city. Originally, I couldn't take it with me, but I will send the copy to Your Majesty when the epidemic is over."

Chen Shigong believes that some of the countermeasures in the book are effective, while others are not so perfect, but this has opened up a new way of thinking for him in the despair of limited manpower - bruises, headaches and brain fever depend on doctors, but this kind of "infection" Doctors can't cure the disease, not only can't cure it, but without standardized and standardized protective measures, no matter how good the doctor is, it will get involved.

He used Penicillium to treat seven cases of different degrees of severity, and the effect is not yet known. This is a completely different treatment method, but in the eyes of Chen Shigong at this moment, it is no different from the past.

I'm afraid it won't work for him to lead the army, but as a military doctor, military theory is essential to teach medicine in a place where the soldiers are revolutionizing the frontier.

For him, fighting against plagues and diseases is war.

Wars pay attention to the importance of soldiers and quick capture of important areas, and treatment pays attention to prescribing the right medicine and adding or subtracting according to the symptoms. Using common decoctions is like adding reinforcements. If you camp in Beishan, I will set up a stronghold in Nangu. If you form a large formation with infantry, we will Just use muskets to shoot through the formation; you use cavalry to rush, and I connect with chariots. Pay attention to restraint and pay attention to one thing to drop one thing. The appearance of artillery has changed the situation of the war.

Penicillium is the same for Chen Shigong at this time, it is the cannon of the general in Chen Shigong's eyes, and it hits the camp of the enemy's main general with one shot, and the enemy is defeated in an instant.

It can be worshiped as a god, but in the final analysis, gods are also used by people.

　Good morning!
