Chapter 1247: The Test of Life and Death (2)

There were too many people who swarmed in, the sergeant in charge of the garrison was tired and exhausted, and a large number of people rushed towards the quarantine area every day, at first some people were willing to cooperate with entering the quarantine area, and the sergeant also felt strange, and after more than a day, the sergeant figured out that these people were from the capital, thinking that this was a suspicion and inspection of them, once the inspection was completed, everything was over, they did not realize that they had become the biggest source of danger.

As time passed, the mood of both the people who entered the quarantine zone and those who were still waiting to enter the quarantine zone changed, and at this time, some people realized that their freedom was restricted and they were not allowed to move freely.

People outside the quarantine area began to die in large numbers, the Black Death was like a ghost, wandering among the crowd, and those who were targeted by the Black Death were almost unspared, and those in the quarantine area also began to have bad symptoms, especially those in the South and North districts, who were diagnosed with the Black Death, and despite the medical treatment, some people still died in pain.

By this time, both Lang Zhong and the sergeant began to understand the severity of the Black Death, and also knew that if they were contaminated with the Black Death, they would most likely be like the dead people, after just a few days of pain, they would have to stay away from their relatives, and they would not be able to see their relatives when they died.

Everyone was afraid of death, even Sergeant Lang Zhong and Sergeant.

With the onset of the first sergeant, this fear almost reached its peak. After the treatment of Lang Zhong's illness, the atmosphere in the air, as for the very dangerous situation, you must know that most of the guards in charge of the guards are the Ming army that has just returned to obedience.

The good and evil of human nature can always be manifested at critical moments.

Soldiers of the Jiangning battalion. At this time, they became the mainstay, they were not afraid of death, but for a long time, they had become accustomed to strict military regulations and used to maintaining their own honor, because they were soldiers of the Jiangning battalion. They can't tarnish the honor of the Jiangning camp because of their own actions, and they will never allow themselves to retreat out of fear, causing their families to be disgraced, so they must persevere.

But the influence of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion is limited, to put it mildly, everyone is an ordinary sergeant, although everyone is afraid of the Jiangning battalion, but they are all dead. It's impossible to take care of that much.

The atmosphere of danger grew stronger, and the attitude displayed by the sergeant and Lang Zhong was mixed with impatience and mania.

At this time, there must be no collapse situation, once the sergeants guarding the quarantine area retreat, it will be a disastrous end, and Su Tiancheng and the others in Tianjin City began to be highly nervous. They kept an eye on the situation in the quarantine area, and the army even began to build a defensive line outside Tianjin. Once there is a problem in the quarantine area, and someone rushes towards Tianjin City, then they will open fire and kill, which is no way.

It was Fan Jingwen who took the initiative to stand up and ask for help.

Su Tiancheng knew very well that the reason why there was a problem in the quarantine area was nothing more than that there were no officials who went in. People must have thought of it, the officials are all staying in Tianjin City, there is nothing to do, and there must be an imbalance in their hearts, maybe Su Tiancheng has this idea. It's a bit extreme, after all, it's not the situation hundreds of years later, but to be able to stabilize this situation, it will definitely require a person with an extraordinary identity to directly enter the quarantine area.

At this time, Fan Jingwen made a request and took the initiative to enter the quarantine area to stabilize all the situations.

After Fan Jingwen took the initiative to ask for help, Zhu Xianxuan, Hong Chengchou, Qu Qingze, Lu Xiangsheng and others all applied to enter the quarantine area.

Everyone understands what it means to enter the quarantine area, it is very likely that they will contract the Black Death, and it will never be possible to get out, and in the quarantine area, people's personalities will change inexplicably.

Su Tiancheng is difficult to say, it is impossible for him to enter the quarantine area, such words, don't say it, it is an insult to many civil and military ministers below, at a dangerous moment, the emperor personally went to the danger, let many civil and military ministers stay in a safe place, wouldn't it force some overly loyal civil and military ministers to commit suicide.

But time cannot be delayed, and the situation ahead is dangerous, and it is on the verge of collapse.

So a strange imperial council was held, and the purpose of the meeting turned out to be who entered the quarantine area.

Everyone gave their reasons and stated that they had to go into quarantine.

Fan Jingwen's reason is the most sufficient, he said that he was the first to propose to enter the quarantine area, and he is the imperial history of the left capital, investigating and dealing with the illegal and corrupt affairs of officials, and he originally needed an official to set an example, requiring officials to abide by the law and follow the rules, and they must live hard, he even said what the emperor said, striking iron still needs to be hard, now is the critical moment, at this time he is going to take the lead, to enter the quarantine area to stabilize the situation.

The discussion lasted for nearly an hour, and the final decision was that Fan Jingwen entered the quarantine area.

Before Fan Jingwen left the city, Su Tiancheng specially invited him to dinner, which could be regarded as a Zhuangxing wine, and Zhu Xianxuan and others were all accompanied.

When drinking, Su Tiancheng raised his wine glass and toasted Fan Jingwen, and when he talked to Fan Jingwen, he also directly called Fan Jingwen's name, which was already the greatest respect that the emperor could give to his courtiers.

Fan Jingwen drank this glass of wine in one go, knelt in front of Su Tiancheng, and said that he would definitely stabilize the situation in the quarantine area, even if he fought for his life, he would also stop the spread of the Black Death.

Su Tiancheng helped Fan Jingwen up and held Fan Jingwen's hand hard, and at this time, he didn't know what to say.

Escorted by a hundred soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion, Fan Jingwen directly entered the quarantine area.

Fan Jingwen, the former cabinet minister of the Ming Dynasty and the prime minister of the Great Jin Dynasty, personally entered the quarantine area, and met with many sergeants and Lang Zhong, and also went to visit Lang Zhong and sergeant who may be sick.

You must know that in this era, not to mention the prime minister, even the scholars are regarded as Wenqu stars, not to mention that Fan Wencheng has such a noble status, so after Fan Jingwen entered the quarantine area, the situation stabilized as quickly as possible.

First of all, the stable is the sergeants who returned to Shun, these sergeants saw Fan Jingwen with their own eyes, after kowtowing to Fan Jingwen, their mood quickly calmed down, what is the identity of Fan Jingwen, it turned out to be the minister of the Ming Dynasty, and now he is the prime minister of the Great Jin Dynasty, and he is also in charge of officials, people are so honorable that they are not afraid of death, what else do they have to worry about, if they still show the emotion of fear, then they will encounter the shame of everyone, and they can't raise their heads.

Secondly, it is a lot of Langzhong who have stabilized, after Fan Jingwen has seen them, they also feel the weight of their responsibility, at such a critical moment, they must not be able to retreat, in fact, can they really stop the spread of the Black Death, their role is the most huge, after all, a few days have passed, and the Black Death patients in the southern and northern districts, after careful treatment, some people have tended to get better.

The people who stabilized the most were inside and outside the quarantine area, including ordinary people, gentry and wealthy families and businessmen, and when they learned that Fan Jingwen had entered the quarantine area, they didn't need to do any work, so they naturally stabilized.

Fan Jingwen also went to the southern and northern districts to inspect, and also went to the area where he entered the quarantine area to inspect.

Despite wearing masks and being fully armed, no one can guarantee that they will not be infected with the Black Death.

In this process, Fan Jingwen has always behaved very calmly, this is the real bearing, he also comforted many sergeants, Lang Zhong and the people, telling everyone that the court will definitely try its best to save everyone, whether they are infected or not yet infected, there is no need to panic, the court will never give up on everyone.

Fan Jingwen's statement played a role in fixing the needle of the sea.

However, in the process of inspection, Fan Jingwen was also shocked, for safety reasons, he only went to the area of the quarantine area, but from the situation he saw and the report of the sergeant, the spread of the Black Death has entered the peak period, and the people who have not yet entered the quarantine area are dying more and more, and the sergeants have no choice, they take turns to change shifts, and they are busy for twelve hours a day, and there is no time to rest at all, and there are too many people pouring from the capital.

Seeing it with his own eyes, Fan Jingwen finally understood how rampant the Black Death was.

Inside and outside the quarantine area, corpses have to be burned every day, and people inside and outside have a numb feeling for such a situation, and now everyone knows that the reason for being isolated is because of the Black Death, and the reason why they suffered from the Black Death is because of rats, but what is the use of regretting, when eating even Guanyin soil has become a good thing, not to mention that there are still some meat rats.

The difference between inside and outside the quarantine area is also very obvious, the people suffering from the Black Death in the south and north districts, the mortality rate is not very high, they follow the doctor's instructions every day, drink the decoction, plus adequate diet, under normal circumstances, the physical fitness is not bad, they are beginning to recover slowly, but those who are old, weak, sick and disabled, can not be treated, but the situation outside the isolation area is different, there are many more dead, if it is not for the sergeant to burn the body every day, maybe more people will die.

Fan Jingwen entered the quarantine area, he became the actual commander, no matter what problems he encountered, he could directly make a decision, unless it was a special situation, he would report the relevant situation to the emperor, and the first thing Fan Jingwen did was to strengthen the strength of Lang Zhong and the sergeants who entered the quarantine area for inspection, and tried to let people outside the quarantine area enter the isolation area as soon as possible, this measure was later proved to be absolutely wise.
