Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 766
"The official family has a secret room in the Bianjing Imperial Palace, does General Han know?" Hu Yuan asked with a wry smile.

Han Shizhong was a little worried about Hu Yuan's appearance, and asked suspiciously: "Is it the secret room where the Emperor Taizong poisoned Empress Li and stored the medicine?"

"No." Hu Yuan said with a smile: "There are two copies of the letter inside, one is the holy sore, and the other is the current plague. At the beginning, I laughed at the officials. Can this thing be used as a second hand? Now look at it , It is indeed possible to burn jade and stone together."

"Huo!" Han Shizhong looked back at the village in the raging fire, and then said doubtfully, "Could this place be the place where the dead men raised by the government were poisoned?"

Of course Han Shizhong knows the two poisoning plans of plague and holy sores!

Back then when Zhong Shaobao was still alive, and when the officials climbed to the top of Ningwu Pass, they discussed this matter. Now it seems that the officials are really extraordinary.

"What are you thinking!" Hu Yuan laughed angrily at Han Shizhong's rich associative ability. Hu Yuan supervised the management of the dead men raised by the government. Of course, he knew that the group of dead men were on Shangjing Road, not Liaodong County.

And it raises dead men, not rats.

"Zhu Guozhang is in the barracks, and took away Captain Zhu's ashes and other belongings." A herald hurried over and said.

"Did Zhu Guozhang say anything?" Han Shizhong asked the messenger.

The messenger shook his head and said, "I left without saying anything. Oh, by the way, the head of the state said that he wanted to catch a train back to Shanhaiguan before dark."

"Didn't you say anything?" Han Shizhong looked at Hu Yuan, and asked with some concern: "The father-in-law will not trouble us when he returns to Beijing."

"Guo Zhang is a reasonable person." Hu Yuan repeated the words again and said: "How many people have fought in ancient times, I hope Guo Zhang can understand."

Hu Yuan suddenly saw a chicken digging among the weeds, and his already somewhat hollow eyes became brighter.

He glanced at Han Shizhong in disbelief, and said, "Chicken! It's alive!"

Han Shizhong stared at the chicken with staring eyes and poked his head, and slowly approached the live chicken, he was ten thousand times more careful than when he approached Liang Hongyu back then!
He got behind the chicken very patiently, and carefully lifted the chicken up with his cage hands.

Han Shizhong looked at the struggling chicken in his hand, and shouted loudly: "It's a living creature! What the hell! A living creature! Really! A living creature!"

After the plague broke out in a village, it attracted Han Shizhong's attention. He blocked the village as quickly as possible, but still brought the remaining [-] villages along with them, turning them into human Shura field.

People, horses, cows, sheep, mice, as long as those mice run, there will be no trace of life left.

If it weren't for Han Shizhong's quick response to move the uninfected villagers out of the village, there would really be no living things in these eighteen villages.

Even the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty who joined the army died due to accidental wound infections or improper wearing of hawk-beaked pockets.

These eighteen villages are like a hell on earth, which makes people feel chills down their spines.

With the calmness of a soldier, Han Shizhong forced himself to make various decisions, but this does not mean that he is not panicked!
But this chicken survived!

"Take it back to the secret room!" Hu Yuan finally became excited and directed Han Shizhong to bring the chicken back to the secret room.

He wanted to find out how the chicken survived the epidemic.

Although Hu Yuan didn't cure a single person during the plague, there was still a future.

Zhao Huan received news from Hu Yuan again, and only then did he know that Zhu Xiaosun was dead.

"The plague is so poisonous?" Zhao Huan asked the same question as Han Shizhong. He only knew that the plague once broke out in Europe, and the Black Death ravaged tens of millions of people.

[Plague is a Class A infectious disease. The mortality rate of bubonic plague is 20% to 70%, while the mortality rate of pneumonic plague and septicemic plague is almost 100%. 】【Note 1】

[In the 6th century AD, the first plague epidemic occurred, and the death toll in the world reached 1 million. 】

[In the 14th century AD, the second plague epidemic lasted for more than 70 years and spread to Europe, Asia, North Africa and other continents. 1/2 of the population died. 】

[From the end of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century, the third plague pandemic occurred in the world. This epidemic affected more than 60 countries and regions, especially India and China, with more than 2000 million deaths. 】

[Because of the control of Wu Lien-teh, the "Chief Medical Officer of Epidemic Prevention in the Three Northeast Provinces", the Northeast Plague did not cause greater losses, otherwise, the lives would be ruined. 】

Zhao Huan frowned and looked at the information, holding the letter in his hand, not knowing how to tell Zhu Lian the news.

When Zhu Xiaosun died, he didn't even leave his last words, and even his bones didn't exist, only ashes remained.

When Zhao Huan came to Yanfu Palace, he saw Zhu Lian still studying Zhao Chen's homework with a smile on his face.

"Go out and play with Yue Yun." Zhao Huan interrupted Zhu Lian's school exam and said to Zhao Chen.

Seeing his father with a heavy face, Zhao Chen sensiblely left Yanfu Palace, Zhu Lian looked at the letter in the official's hand, he was not in the habit of bringing official documents back to the palace.

This letter is related to myself.

Zhu Lian looked at Zhazi, and Zhao Huan was explaining to Han Shizhong the reason why he burned Zhu Xiaosun's corpse: "Han Shizhong burned the corpses of all the patients because he had no choice. He also asked me for instructions, and I agreed."

"Deep burial cannot prevent the spread of the plague, and even the dead body will rot in the soil and be eaten by mice and earthworms, bringing the small Sumeria to the surface again. Moreover, the small Sumeria of the plague has a very strong survivability, They can even survive for days."

"When Hu Yuan dug out the corpses that died at the beginning, he found that the small Sumeru insects were still alive. This is why the plague changed from one village to eighteen villages."

"Liaodong County has been fighting for years, and the population is sparse. Han Shizhong also blames himself for being able to reach this scale."

After Zhu Lian finished reading the letter, two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks. The scene of Zhu Xiaosun exhorting her in front of the Lema Stone outside Yanjing Chaoyang Gate was still vivid in my memory, but the person had completely disappeared.

"Official family, elder brother, can he enter the Zhonghun Temple?" Zhu Lian suddenly opened his lips and asked.

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "It should be."

Not only Zhu Xiaosun, but also the soldiers of the Song Dynasty who died in Liaodong County this time will all leave their names on the Zhonghun Temple.

Zhao Huan quickly understood the reason for asking this question, Zhu Xiaosun did not die in battle, but died of illness.It doesn't meet the requirements of Zhonghun Temple.

"You think too much. The soldiers of Liaodong Plague and Ezhou Flood Plague will all leave their names on the Zhonghun Temple. They all sacrificed their lives to serve the country. You can rest assured." Zhao Huan quickly explained.

"That's it." Zhu Lian closed the letter, pushed Zhao Huan out of Yanfu Palace, and said: "Officials, my concubines don't want to show their ugliness in front of the officials, so please forgive me."

"The dead cannot be resurrected, condolences."

When Zhao Huan left Yanfu Palace, he heard Zhu Lian's slightly miserable cry.

"The young supervisor of Qin Tianjian is waiting in the Hall of Wende and said he has something to do." Sun Li ran over from the direction of the Hall of Wende.

"Is there something else going on?" Zhao Huan had a bad thought in his heart, and his eyelids twitched.I always feel like I'm going to suffer.

When the young supervisor of Qin Tianjian saw Zhao Huan's first sentence, he verified Zhao Huan's intuition.

"Officials, it is estimated that there will be a severe drought this winter, and there has been no heavy snow since the beginning of winter."

　Note 1: Class A infectious diseases include plague and cholera.Just these two.
