Su Tiancheng naturally knew Dolgon's whereabouts, and he was also very clear about why Dolgon would stay in Datong and attack the capital without his own strength, and some information from Liaodong had also come in, Yan Yingyuan had the support of Zu Dashou and Zu Dale over there, and he should be able to stabilize the situation in Liaodong.

So Su Tiancheng was not in a hurry, he even thought about changing the combat deployment, first encircling and suppressing the Houjin Tartars led by Dolgon, and then attacking the capital, so that he could kill two birds with one stone.

However, the so-called Black Death that broke out in the capital caused all of Su Tiancheng's deployments to change significantly.

As a traverser, Su Tiancheng knows very well that the so-called Black Death is actually the plague, which is a disaster for mankind, and human beings cannot rely on their own immunity to defeat this disease, and in this era, the defense measures are almost zero, not to mention the Central Plains, that is, all parts of the world, are helpless in the face of the plague.

The reason for the outbreak of plague in the capital is very simple, there are many people gathered in the capital, and there is a shortage of food, so many people began to dig up rats to eat, which is equivalent to directly finding the plague on the body, the fleas on the rats are the source of the plague disease, catching the mice, in the process of peeling, the fleas will naturally go to the human body, through the bite, the plague will be directly transmitted to people.

The common people don't know the severity of the plague in the plague, let alone how to prevent it, once the plague spreads on a large scale, not to mention the capital, even the Great Jin Dynasty that Su Tiancheng worked so hard to create, will be clumped under the blow of the plague.

After receiving Qu Qingze's report, Su Tiancheng resolutely changed all the deployments, his important opponent has undergone a fundamental change, and the plague is already his main opponent.

is not only Qu Qingze, but also Hong Chengchou and Fan Jingwen and others in Tianjin. They were also very surprised, in their opinion, the Black Death was not a big deal, it was a big deal to take out the money and spend effort to treat it. How could it be possible to change all the campaign deployments, not even to attack the capital, not to exterminate the Houjin Tartars, but to start treating this Black Death, this is a decision that they can't understand.

Su Tiancheng could only smile bitterly, he couldn't explain it at all, fortunately, in this era, the common people still didn't know the severity of the plague, that is to say, the people gathered around the capital. There will be no large-scale exodus, which is very beneficial for preventing the widespread spread of plague, and if the people infected with the plague move on a large scale, it will be a huge disaster.

In this matter, Su Tiancheng was very arbitrary, and resolutely made a decision to take the twenty miles outside Tianjin City as the boundary. Anyone who comes from the direction of the capital, no matter what their identity is. The soldiers of the Jiangning battalion and the Ming army of Guishun drew a huge isolation zone within 20 miles outside Tianjin, and the area of this isolation zone reached five square kilometers. It has exceeded the area of many county seats, and the imperial court has invested a lot of money to build houses in this isolation zone, and the requirements for wooden houses are very high, and the area is not large. About five square meters, it must be clean and hygienic, no matter how much silver is spent, it cannot lower the requirements, in addition, a large number of Langzhong from the south are recruited from the south, rushed to Tianjin, and these Langzhong are recruited with heavy money.

There is still a lot to be done, in the face of the plague, there are no antibiotics in this era, and the invention of antibiotics is still hundreds of years later, that is to say, in the face of the plague such a huge disaster, what can be used is traditional Chinese medicine.

Su Tiancheng is very clear, the plague is terrible, but there is no way to avoid it, as long as the people do it according to the requirements, you can eliminate the spread of the plague to the greatest extent, to put it mildly, the large-scale spread of the plague is the biggest disaster for mankind, the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty The fall of the plague has a very direct relationship with the plague, as for the world, the plague is the biggest killer of human beings, the Yuan Dynasty, the outbreak of the plague in Europe, which lasted for five years, led to the death of nearly 30 million people, It accounts for one-third of the population of the whole of Europe.

The Great Jin Dynasty, which is about to unify the Central Plains, must not be knocked down by the plague, this is Su Tiancheng's determination, and it is also something that must be done, the task of extinguishing the plague is far higher than the conquest, as for the Ming Dynasty, there is no need for Su Tiancheng to conquer, the plague that broke out around the capital can easily defeat the Ming Dynasty, and it is not possible to realize that the Ming Dynasty is destined to be destroyed because of the great harm of the plague.

Zhu Xianxuan received the holy decree and quickly rushed to Tianjin, as the prime minister of the head of the hundred officials of the Great Jin Dynasty, he rushed to Tianjin to deal with the Black Death, which surprised everyone, and it was at this time that everyone knew that the emperor attached great importance to the Black Death that broke out around the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

When a large number of Langzhong gathered towards Tianjin, Shandong also brought sulfur, which was originally used to make artillery shells, and as for traditional Chinese medicine, it was shipped to Tianjin in batches.

It was in this process of preparation that the crisis began to approach Tianjin.

The people around the capital heard that Tianjin could survive, and the people who had taken refuge in Tianjin before were full of food and drink, and there was no such thing as starving to death, and the government also built a shack outside Tianjin.

This news is like a heart booster, stimulated hundreds of thousands of people gathered inside and outside the capital, large-scale evacuation operations quickly began, the torrent swept in the direction of Tianjin, in the process, people continue to fall after falling ill, the roadside is full of corpses, only care about the escape of people do not know the way, they are already the most huge source of infection, once these people really enter Tianjin, marking Tianjin will also be completely finished.

Su Tiancheng's expression was unusually serious, although Zhu Xianxuan, Fan Jingwen, Hong Chengchou, Qu Qingze and others did not understand very much, they had never seen the emperor so nervous, many years of conquest, even when encountering major battles or decisive battles, the emperor did not have such a gaffe, it can be seen that this matter is very serious and important.

Su Tiancheng looked at everyone and finally spoke.

"The Black Death that broke out in the capital of the Ming Dynasty is a huge disaster, if you can't defend it with all your might, this Black Death may destroy the Jin Dynasty and the foundation that I have worked so hard to build, I tell you very clearly, if the people around the capital of the Ming Dynasty enter the surrounding area of Tianjin, Tianjin will also be completely destroyed, not to mention the conquest at that time, I am afraid that I and you will start to flee for our lives, return to the south, and dare not set foot in the north for a long time."

A look of shock appeared on everyone's faces, and they didn't know what Emperor Lu Dao said for Lu.

"When I was still a scholar, I had seen the records in the history books, you should still remember Matteo Ricci, this Europa brought the "Atlas of the Ten Thousand Kingdoms", which recorded a lot of countries in the Western Regions, during the Yuan Dynasty, that is, in these countries in the Western Regions, the Black Death broke out, and the number of deaths accounted for one-third of the population of the Western Regions, close to 30 million people, and now it broke out around the capital of the Ming Dynasty, that is, this Black Death, once the Black Death is infected, I and you are helpless, for the sake of todayIt was necessary to put an end to the contagion of the Black Death. ”

"I ask you to pay attention to the Black Death, don't think that this is an ordinary disease, the Black Death can take the lives of the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion, so that we are helpless, not to mention the conquest, even to maintain life has become difficult."

"I say this, I don't want you to be afraid, how to deal with the Black Death, the best way is to isolate and treat, all those who come from around the capital of Daming, no matter what their identity, must be isolated, at least seven days, there is no sign of illness, you can leave, once there are signs of illness, or there is a cough, etc., it must be treated, people who died of the Black Death must be completely incinerated, so as to curb the spread of the Black Death."

"The victims gathered outside Tianjin are all evacuated and temporarily resettled in the area of Shandong and Henan, all of them are evacuated, do not stay, you can clearly tell them that they cannot return to their hometowns, and they must temporarily leave Beizhili, this is an order, and it is not allowed to be violated, otherwise the government will completely cut off their relief, and the vacated shacks can temporarily resettle people who have walked out of the isolation area."

"A large number of Langzhong rushed to Tianjin, they must be given the necessary instructions, lest they are also infected with the Black Death, the flow of people from the direction of the capital of Daming, there are at most two days, they will arrive in Tianjin, tomorrow must be smoked with sulfur to smoke the quarantine area outside the city, the Jiangning battalion soldiers are fully armed, strictly guarded, and hold the pass to the death, if someone wants to break into Tianjin directly, do not accept isolation and treatment, and kill without mercy......"

During the whole process, Su Tiancheng was arranging, and everyone didn't know anything about the Black Death, but when they heard the emperor say this, a feeling of fear spread in the house, and everyone knew the severity of the disease, even the most tenacious army was helpless in the face of the disease.

Speaking of the most difficult things, Su Tiancheng finally made the most important arrangement.

"The soldiers of the Jiangning battalion stationed in Tianjin, leaving 20,000 people, the rest of the soldiers all left here, some were stationed in Jinghai, Qingxian and Cangzhou, and some were stationed in Xiongxian, all the official roads from the capital of Daming were blocked, and no one was allowed to go to the south, everyone, what is in front of us is a battle that is more tragic than the conquest, we cannot fail, if we cannot curb the spread of the Black Death, everything will come to naught......

Su Tiancheng resolutely did not leave Tianjin, he knew very well that although he said so, many officials and soldiers did not necessarily know the severity of the Black Death, nor did they necessarily attach great importance to it, and only by sitting in Tianjin and making strong arrangements could they truly put an end to the spread of the Black Death.

Su Tiancheng did not leave Tianjin, Fan Jingwen, Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze and others naturally did not leave, and the task of leading the evacuation of the Jiangning battalion fell to Sun Chuanting, although Sun Chuanting was also a hundred reluctant.

As for Zhu Xianxuan, who was responsible for the overall deployment, and Li Juesi, the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, who was responsible for the specific implementation, they were even more committed to Tianjin. (To be continued......)
