On the second day of February in the eleventh year of Wanli, the dragon raised its head, and the chief medical officer Chen Shigong 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 the night when the teams held a meeting, they listed a large number of possible sources of infection: dirty clothes, well water, dogs, sheep, donkeys, horses, cats, rats, and people.

The only thing they can be sure of is that among the five insects, the two insects do not seem to have the symptoms of being infected with the plague, and the other three insects are susceptible to the plague.

In the quaint theory of the five insects, the winning insect is a human, the caterpillar is a beast, the scale insect is an aquatic animal, the feather insect is a bird and a bird, and the insect is a real insect.

More than 200 heavily armed medical teams were divided into 37 teams to go deep into various neighborhoods in Tongzhou to investigate the condition, and many of them encountered help.

First of all, there were wounded soldiers in the Zhejiang army, and the plague first spread among them, more than 400 wounded soldiers were sick, and 96 people were sick, and the highest military rank was three captains of 100 people, and the reasons for their wounded soldiers were very few, and many of them would not even be classified as wounded soldiers in the past.

Because there are too few people who are actually wounded in the war, most of them are frostbite, which is the painful mark of surviving the whole winter in the cold and freezing north.

In addition to frostbite, the largest proportion is fall injuries and burns, the former is more and the latter is less, and nine out of nine injuries are Flying Fish soldiers.

Limited by objective conditions, as a new weapon, the Zhejiang army did not have special training to use and ride, and they exchanged a very small number of people for the results of 100,000 male soldiers, and the price paid was also a lot...... The last heavenly man in this era was called Wanhu, and later he died.

They all suppressed the fear in human nature and held the will to die, so that after the spark exploded in the grassland, many people had no sense of landing at all, feeling that they had achieved their mission, and they would float to wherever they were; In other words, it is not easy to land consciously, no one knows where to land in the dark, some hit the cliff, some are torn by tree branches during the landing, and some are afraid to jump out of the basket in the rapid drop in altitude.

With him, there were a few more unlucky than the Flying Fish soldiers of the Zhejiang Army who were more unlucky than the Flying Fish soldiers of the Zhejiang Army, who saw that the Flying Fish broke through the enemy army and chased them all the way to the north, and chased them until they lost their direction at night, so they simply put their horses on the spot and lit a fire and ate something to sleep, and they didn't go to the troops, and the troops would find themselves.

With such a wish, the brothers were sleeping sweetly, and there was a ghost squeak overhead, and a huge airboat smashed on the head, which was completely unjustified.

It was the only perfect forced landing of the Zhejiang army's flying soldiers, the flying fish was not damaged, the crew was not injured, and it landed on the fire very perfectly.

A fly in the ointment, crushing four sleeping allies.

Because of this case, Qi Jiguang not only added the Flying Fish family to his military book, but also set a prerequisite for the Flying Fish tactics, in the dark night, twenty to thirty miles away from the downwind attack target, it is necessary to send riders to light a bonfire on the ground in advance, as the preset landing site of the Flying Fish, especially in the dark night, the surrounding area of the landing site should be empty and flat, and people have to run far away to prepare for it.

That's what it means.

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

The wounded soldiers of the Zhejiang army have a very high degree of discipline, at the beginning of the spread of the plague, they have completed the internal isolation and investigation, the method is simple but useful, with the Qinglong army column a board car as a unit, there is an illness on the car, and all the people on the car are isolated, so that the infection has expanded among them and has been completely contained.

The source of the spread of the plague in Tongzhou was not the wounded soldiers, but the doctors and rats in the military column who lacked protection in Tongzhou City.

Many sick and wounded soldiers who did not die have a common memory, they have seen rats on the military column, they were frozen and squinted in the wind and did not dare to move, and the Zhejiang soldiers on the car were the same, and at that time they also laughed at the rats and followed themselves in the military column, and some people also said that the rat wanted to go back to Tongzhou with them to record merit, and he would also be a rat general in the future.

But I didn't expect it to be a plague general.

The doctor was recruited by the military master to the barracks isolation tent to see the disease, and after seeing the illness, he went back to decoct the medicine, and then sat down to treat other people in the city who were bruised, injured and had headaches and brain fever, which was precisely the weakest group of people in the city.

It's a big deal.

The martyred Zhizhou is a good person is also a ruthless person, when a lifetime of children, early 40s, and finally in the second year of Wanli to get the Jinshi, successively served as Tongzhou subordinate to the three counties, two years ago when he was in Wuqing Zhixian encountered the plague, at that time the imperial court evaluated that he was good governance, but he always felt that many people died in his heart, Chen Shigong inquired about the eldest son in his family, and repeatedly heard the child keep saying that his father always remembered the people killed in the Wuqing plague.

This time, he simply lived in the neighborhood where the epidemic broke out at the beginning of the plague, and with a breath of righteousness, he sent all the people who were okay out of the plague, but left himself in the plague forever.

Although Zhizhou's most upright and upright momentum in heaven and earth did not stop the plague, he left a full 18,000-word record of the epidemic for Chen Shigong, which includes not only the isolation, dispatch, and operation of the management methods required by the government for the epidemic, but also the records of the 322 cases of people who fell ill from beginning to end, as well as the physical and psychological changes of his own illness from beginning to end, down to every moment of each hour.

Chen Shigong even thinks that Zhizhou does not need to record his own physical changes, and the fonts on these hundreds of sheets of paper, from the standard block script of printing at the beginning, to the scribbled on the last 60 pages, allow him to see the righteousness in a person's heart and the disappearance of life.

"Transcribe this record of the epidemic in Zhizhou outside the city, I can't take it away, but a copy, when the epidemic is over, I will present it to Your Majesty."

Chen Shigong believes that some of the countermeasures in the book are effective, while others are not so perfect, but this has opened up new ideas for him in the despair of limited manpower - bruises, headaches, and brain fever depend on doctors, but this kind of 'infectious disease', doctors can't cure it, not only can't cure it, there are no standardized and standardized protective measures, and no matter how good a doctor is, he will get into it.

He used Penicillium to treat seven cases of different degrees of mild and severe illness, and it is not known how effective it is, this is a completely different treatment, but in Chen Shigong's eyes at this moment, it is no different from the past.

I'm afraid it won't work for him to lead the troops, but as a military doctor, military theory is indispensable to teach medicine in a border place where the military revolution is reforming.

For him, the fight against plague and disease is war.

War pays attention to the soldiers and nobles to quickly capture important places, and the treatment pays attention to the addition and subtraction of the right medicine according to the evidence, and the common decoction is applied, just like the reinforcements, like you camp in the North Mountain, I will set up a village in the South Valley, you use the infantry to form a large formation, I will use musket rounds to break the formation; You rushed in with cavalry, I connected with chariots, paid attention to restraint, paid attention to one thing and one thing, and the appearance of artillery changed the situation of the war.

Penicillium is the same with Chen Shigong at this time, it is the great general cannon in Chen Shigong's eyes, one cannon goes straight to the enemy's main general's camp, and the enemy is defeated like a mountain in an instant.

It can be worshipped as a god, but at the end of the day, a god is also used by people.
