Chapter 1246: The Test of Life and Death (1)
(Thank you for voting for your precious monthly ticket on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and thank you for the reward of not choosing the middle route, thank you.) )
A large number of people flow in the direction of Tianjin, this is not only to be able to survive, the panic around the capital has made many people lose their minds, they are desperately going in the direction of Tianjin, whether it is the common people who have no food to eat, or many gentry and wealthy families and businessmen, they have made up their minds to leave the capital, as if Tianjin has become a safe haven, as if the Ming Dynasty is about to perish has become the source of disaster, which is probably what Su Tiancheng did not expect.
The people around Tianjin are in the process of evacuation, some people are not even willing to leave, there are days of eating and drinking to live a comfortable life, leaving here to walk, the next days are not clear, but forced by deterrence, this time the evacuation is the government's request, and the order is very resolute, not allowed to stay outside the city, the government will also immediately stop relief, unless it is to leave here, in order to continue to get relief.
It was in this process that a large number of people from the capital poured over and approached the quarantine area.
The atmosphere began to be highly tense, these people came with the Black Death, once the defense measures were wrong, and the Black Death spread, even Su Tiancheng had to prepare to flee Tianjin.
Zhu Xianxuan and Li Juesi did not dare to have the slightest negligence, they were with the emperor for several days in a row, they heard the emperor say a lot of things about the Black Death, especially the outbreak of the Black Death in the Western Regions, which led to the death of one-third of the people, and the Black Death spread for more than five years.
Concentrated in Langzhong in Tianjin. The systematic training was carried out, and the interesting thing is that this training was personally taught by Li Juesi, the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, and was taught by officials, and it was about medical matters. This is a very rare case. Li Juesi mainly talked about the danger of the Black Death, and how to prevent the Black Death, how to do a good job of isolation, how to do a good job of self-defense and protection in the process of treating patients, etc., and Li Juesi's requirements are very strict, all Langzhong who enters the quarantine area to treat patients needs to be in the quarantine area for more than seven days, and there are no symptoms of infection before they can return to Tianjin. Whoever it is, must comply with such a requirement.
Li Juesi focused on the use of masks, of course, what is the clear effect of masks, he can't say why, this thing is directly requested by the emperor, it is unlikely that the emperor will be asked to explain, in addition, to enter the quarantine area, you must wear isolation clothes. The so-called isolation gown is quite different from ordinary clothes. There is a condom on the whole body, and the whole person is put inside, and the isolation gown has been specially sterilized, with a strong smell of medicine.
The most important thing that Li Juesi said was the matter of prescriptions.
This is what the emperor specifically emphasized, and it is the only one that the emperor did not think of. It is said that the book has been read for a long time, and I can't remember it all for a while, and there is a prescription for the Black Death in the book, and the emperor asked many Langzhong to give full play to the collective wisdom and explore a unified prescription for the Black Death. Do not prescribe drugs separately, which is also convenient for unified remediation.
After a day of training, the prescription was very prescribed, of course, after a fierce debate, you must know that the Tao is in Langzhong, there are not many people who can convince each other, and they all say that they have a reason, but the main points are focused on dryness, detoxification, lungs, and blood activation, etc., and to solve these problems, the traditional Chinese medicine prescribed, the toxicity is not small, and the medicinal decoction also needs special attention.
The prescription was finally reported to the emperor.
Li Juesi originally thought that the emperor would not care about such a prescription, but he didn't expect the emperor to look at it very carefully, and specially invited Lang Zhong to discuss the prescription together.
These measures of the emperor made Zhu Xianxuan, Fan Jingwen, Hong Chengchou, Qu Qingze and others stunned, they felt that the emperor seemed to be omnipotent, and even Chinese medicine was so familiar.
In fact, everyone will not know what Su Tiancheng thinks, he really doesn't understand medicine, and he has never studied it, but he knows very well that Chinese medicine does not have a particularly good effect on the treatment of plague, and what really makes the plague bow down is the antibiotics that appeared hundreds of years later, and those so-called Western medicines are also things that he needs to work hard to study after he unified the Central Plains.
In Su Tiancheng's view, traditional Chinese medicine is still good, but each Langzhong's understanding is different, and the prescriptions are not the same.
Su Tiancheng used the knowledge accumulated over hundreds of years to discuss with several of the most famous Langzhong, these Langzhong would never have imagined that they could be summoned by the emperor to treat patients in the folk, and the emperor also talked to them about the prescription, the emperor's shameless attitude made them feel excited, but in the process of talking, they clearly felt that the emperor has a very good understanding of herbal medicine, including the effects and side effects of some herbs, can be clearly explained, The emperor's final point of view made them enlightened, that is, the medication must be unified, and the size of the dose can be based on the degree of absorption and digestion that the body can bear, which is like saying that everyone is sick, and the symptoms may not be the same, but in general, that is, there is a problem with the internal organs of the body, and the internal organs of the body are almost the same, and they must be able to find common ground from the problems of a certain organ, and they can also clarify the basic unified solution.
After this conversation, several of the most famous Lang Zhong began to bow to the emperor, they knew that the emperor was not an expert in treating diseases, but the truth that the emperor said could summarize their feelings about treating patients for so many years.
The preparations have not yet ended, and the crowd coming from the direction of the capital has already arrived in the quarantine area.
A life-and-death battle began, and the cruelty of this battle far exceeded everyone's expectations, and it also made everyone truly understand why the emperor attached so much importance to the Black Death in the first place.
The Ming army of Guishun is mainly responsible for guarding the quarantine area, the duties of the guards are very clear, once they enter the isolation area, they are not allowed to leave, and they are not allowed to escape without authorization, otherwise they will be killed, people from all directions are not allowed to directly enter the city of Tianjin, they are not allowed to cross the isolation area without authorization, and there are people patrolling within a radius of several kilometers every day to prevent people from mixing into the city of Tianjin through other roads, the four gates of Tianjin are guarded very strictly, under normal circumstances, unless it is a sergeant and Lang Zhong who enter and exit, etc., the rest of the people are not allowed to go out, Anyone who came from the south for reinforcements needed to show the passes signed by Zhu Xianxuan, Li Juesi and others before they could enter Tianjin.
The first thing you do when you enter the quarantine area is to check your body, which is something that many people need to be responsible for.
This kind of examination is not particularly complicated, mainly to determine whether someone has been infected with the Black Death, whether it is a cough, whether the neck is swollen, etc., after a few days of training and common discussion, Lang Zhong has a clear grasp of the symptoms of the Black Death, and after examination, it can basically be determined whether it is infected with the Black Death.
If you have been infected with the Black Death, you must directly enter the south and north districts of the quarantine area, the control of these two places is abnormally strict, and the place also occupies more than half of the quarantine area, if you are not infected with the Black Death for the time being, you must enter the east and west districts of the quarantine area, isolate and observe for seven days, and if you do not find any symptoms, you can leave.
The second thing to do before entering the quarantine area is to clean the whole body.
This is what the emperor particularly emphasized, people who enter the quarantine area must first take a bath, and the bath water is filled with boiled Chinese medicine water, which exudes a smell of medicine, no matter who it is, they must take a bath, and the clothes they carry must also be soaked and disinfected by the medicine, and the whole body is cleaned before they can enter the isolation area, and they are not allowed to enter without taking a bath.
The third thing to do when entering the quarantine area is to drink the decoction that has been brewed uniformly, which is a must, regardless of whether you have been infected with the Black Death or those who have not been infected with the Black Death.
The next thing is to observe and treat in the quarantine area.
The soldiers of the Jiangning battalion led the Ming army to follow the direction where the people came, burning the corpses that fell to the ground along the way.
After people die, the emphasis is on entering the ground for safety, but unfortunately the people who fled for their lives can't think of those, a large number of people died, making them frightened birds, which also made the burning of corpses relatively easy.
The burning of corpses is a death order, whether it is on the side of the road or hastily buried.
These things are simple to say, but it is by no means so easy to do.
It's not a very difficult thing to check the body, I can let Lang Zhong check it, no money, basically no problem, taking a bath is a difficult thing, men are good to say, women are dying, and after a long time of running, the crowd has become a frightened bird, and the mood has fluctuated greatly.
It's like a powder keg, and the act of lighting the powder keg may be to take a bath.
It is a pity that the orders received by the sergeants are resolutely carried out and mercilessly, and anyone who dares to disobey the order must be unceremoniously suppressed.
You must know that Emperor Lu Dao has always loved the people, but this time the order is so harsh.
In the face of the rolling flow of people, many soldiers could only grit their teeth and insist, they all wore masks, wore special protective clothing, and carried out orders mercilessly.
A large number of people who were blocked from the quarantine area had begun to erupt into dissatisfaction, and small commotions were appearing at any time, and one by one the recitals were sent to Zhu Xianxuan, Li Juesi and other officials, saying that the situation in the quarantine area was very urgent, but there was still no relief at all.
