Chapter 151: Who can withstand this, tens of millions of deaths
"The official family said holy sores?" The seed master was stunned for a moment, the name was a little unfamiliar, and he thought about it a little and asked.
Zhao Huan nodded.
The income obtained from the captivity is called "sores"; or because of its unpredictable changes it is called "holy sore": or because it is a celestial plague and called "heavenly sore"; Or it is difficult to avoid people from childhood to old age, so it is called "100-year-old sores"; Or because of its pea-like shape, it is called "pea sores".
or because the changes in its symptoms are like the changeability of flowers in the sky, it is called "smallpox"; Or some call it "Tianxing Spot Sore".
It's all a disease, smallpox.
After receiving an affirmative answer, the seed master shook his head and said: "The official family doesn't know, as early as the Kaiyuan period of the former Tang Dynasty, the Jiangnan Zhao family began to pass on the method of nose seedling pox. The disease of the holy sores has never been rampant. I don't know what tricks the officials have? ”
Zhao Huan was stunned, this was beyond his comprehension.
This smallpox is such an incomprehensible thing, and there is a method for targeting it in the Great Song Dynasty?
[Tang: Sun Simiao: Prescription for treating children with red and black defects: in the needle's feet, the blood patch will be eliminated immediately. Treatment of children's warts: use needles and knives to cut off all sides of the eyes, so that blood comes out, and take the juice and yellow pus from the sores of the sores. 】
[During the Song Zhenzong period, Prime Minister Wang Dan's children died of smallpox, and the Great Song Dynasty trembled, and then Wang Dan had another son, named Wang Su. The people of Emeishan came out of the mountain to inoculate their sons with human pox, and Wang Su lived to die at the age of 67. 】
[The Song court vigorously promoted the method of human pox. It was not until the 27th year of Kangxi that the Russian pox doctor introduced the method of smallpox prevention and treatment to Western Europe. 】
[Later, Montagu's wife introduced this technique to England in 1717.] On this basis, Edward Centrine invented the "vaccinia inoculation method". 】
[The real smallpox vaccine is the inactivated smallpox virus, which is the category of modern medicine. 】
Zhao Huan was silent, Hu Yuan was to blame, when Shen Cong was injured, his Five Grains Reincarnation Technique to treat arrow wounds made too deep an impression on him.
He also thought that the medicine of the Great Song Dynasty was extremely backward, but now that he thinks about it, it is still pragmatism, and useful methods must be widely promoted.
The useless five-grain reincarnation technique has instead become a secret recipe.
"Why hasn't this method of human pox been widely practiced?" Zhao Huan asked, he couldn't understand that when he was in Bianjing, he also received a report of the epidemic. I thought that the Great Song Dynasty had no means to prevent it.
The seed master nodded, the official family has already shown the quality of a Ming Jun, tracing back to the source.
"Official, remember the stone trenchers. This human pox method is very exquisite, the former Tang Dynasty was the most prevalent, but now, it is not as good as the former Tang Dynasty. The seed master said a word, let Zhao Huan understand it himself.
Stone trench officials, the imperial power does not go to the countryside.
The squire controls the ownership authority below the county level, and it doesn't matter whether this mud leg lives or dies, as long as someone does the work.
The title deed is there, everything is there.
Zhao Huan sighed, this ruling the world with scholars and doctors does not seem to be of much benefit except for the consolidation of imperial power.
That's right, the consolidation of imperial power is what the emperor should be most concerned about.
It is extremely easy to get the throne of yourself, and you don't feel distressed when you sell your grandfather......
"Western Xia, Liao, and Jin are all inherited from the former Tang Dynasty, and this person's pox technique is extremely skilled. The idea that the officials intended to use the smallpox method to break the city was not good, so it was better to use the plague. The seed master said very calmly.
And when Zhao Huan heard this, he couldn't help but shudder, the plague, that is, the name of the Black Death, is too loud!
The Black Death, which killed 30 million people in Europe in three years!
This kind of teacher's way, where is the usual elegance and easy-going!
I was able to say these two words so calmly. Does he know what that means?
"The Tatars once threw the corpses of steppe rats into a certain city in Western Xia, and the city was finally blocked by the whole city, and a small city was burned to the ground."
"I heard about this a few years ago, and I specially sent some soldiers and brought some grassland mice, and verified it, and it worked, and it was effective. Just let them do it. The Seed Master Dao still said calmly.
Zhao Huan shook his head and said, "This method is not allowed, absolutely not." ”
"Shaobao doesn't need to rush to break the city, this kind of tactics, let's not talk about cruelty or not. The plague, which was so simple and spread very quickly, was not only uncontrollable by the Jin people, but also uncontrollable by the Great Song Dynasty. ”
"Even if it is a strong wall and a clear wilderness, if the Jin people learn it, my Great Song Dynasty will also suffer from the plague. No, no. ”
The main source of confidence that Zhao Huan dared to use smallpox to destroy the city came from the means that he could redeem the smallpox virus for inactivation, and the virus was inactivated to become a vaccine, and it was good to say that the prevention and control of smallpox was good.
This plague is truly terrifying.
Before there is a complete health and epidemic prevention system, this plague method should let him sleep.
Who can withstand it?
[In 1346, the Mongol army had been in a confrontation with the Italian merchants and Byzantine troops in the rich city of Kaffa on the shore of the Black Sea, and the defenders relied on the strong walls to defend the fortress. 】
[The Mongol army used trebuchets to throw a large number of steppe rats and the corpses of those who died from the plague into the city of Kaffa. The city of Kaffa is broken, and the city is unbeaten. 】
[The Italians, who fled, completely substituted the Black Death into Europe, plus famine and war, and in three years, about 30 million people died. Two-thirds of Europa's population disappears. 】
Oh?
More than 200 years before biochemical warfare? Don't panic.
As for how many people died in Europe? Zhao Huan said that he didn't care, and it was better to die.
The cultivator still had that mysterious smile, and he said that this plague method was just a step for him to fool Zhao Huan.
An emperor is too benevolent, and in the prosperous era, it is a matter of celebration for the whole world.
In troubled times, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, and he tried to use this method to awaken the obscurity in Zhao Huan's heart.
However, when he looked at Zhao Huan's frowning appearance, he knew that the official family had already figured out the joints.
"Seed Shaobao is scolding me again. There must be other ways to break the city. Zhao Huan thought about it for a long time, and he figured out what he thought in the heart of the seed master.
"The plague is naturally extremely fast, but the damage is endless. Datong Mansion was destroyed by the plague, this southern Kyushu, do I want it? The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are so important, and using such a vicious method to break the city is infinitely harmful, and it is indispensable. ”
"Seed Shaobao, let's tell the real way to break the city."
Clever and clever!
The seed master Dao sighed again and again, if such an official family was born fifty years early, no, ten years early, the Great Song Dynasty would be in danger today?
"The official family is very shrewd and benevolent, so he knows that this plague method will definitely not be adopted by the official." The Seed Master Dao just wanted to plant a seed called Yin Obscurity, and did not want the official family to really go down the evil path.
Righteousness? Zhao Huan shook his head, if the Great Song Dynasty had a complete epidemic prevention system in later generations, he would use the plague to push the north of Yanshan, and he would never have the heart to suffer in the future.
It's a pity that this biochemical warfare is a way to injure 10,000 enemies and 1,000 enemies.
Who let the Great Song Dynasty have a large number of people, with a population of more than 100 million, and this biochemical war is fought, and it is their own people who suffer losses.
Once Pandora's box is opened, he has no confidence to hold it.
"Official, the plague method is faster, but if you want to hurry, you can't reach it."
