At the end of the Ming Dynasty, plagues were one after another, and in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, the plague was epidemic in Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Zhejiang and other places, and there were many patients. In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen www.biquge.info from Shanxi to Beijing, a great plague broke out, and there were thousands of coffins at sunrise in nine gates, and countless people died when the doors were closed.

At this time, the plague was extremely terrible, and 10,000 people died at every turn, and the more serious ones at that time were the eighth year of Wanli, the fourteenth year of Wanli, and the few years at the end of the Ming Dynasty, resulting in ten rooms and nine emptiness, which was miserable.

Moreover, plague is an acute and virulent infectious disease, and it is also an acute infectious disease of class A, with a very high fatality rate!

How scary is this Class A infectious disease? Infectious diseases such as anthrax, AIDS, SARS, and avian influenza, which were known to later generations, all belong to Category B. Therefore, there is almost no need to talk about the incubation period of Class A infectious diseases, the so-called one person has a feeling, the whole family spreads the disease, the rich and the low, the young and the old, and the sick will die, and with the flow of population, it will quickly spread to all directions.

After getting the epidemic report, how dare Wang Dou slack off? Immediately return to Guihua City, convene all the officials and generals to deliberate, and immediately start the plan.

He also sent a message to Ji Shiwei, the governor of Xuanfu, Zhu Zhifeng, the governor of Xuanfu, Wei Jingyuan, the governor of Datong, Cai Maode, the governor of Shanxi, and Wang Pu and Zhou Yujiren, the commanders-in-chief, to discuss various matters of epidemic prevention.

Finally, an epidemic prevention bureau was established to lead the epidemic prevention affairs in Anbei, Xuanfu, Shanxi and other places, Wang Dou personally served as the general office, with Wu Youxing as the assistant, Ji Shiwei, Wei Jingyu, Zhu Zhifeng, Cai Maode, Wang Pu and others as the sitting office, and the later Sun Chuanting also joined in as one of the sitting offices.

In order to prevent and control the plague smoothly, Wang Dou specially transferred 2,000 troops as epidemic prevention soldiers, and all the officials, generals and civilians in the epidemic area listened to the arrangements of the bureau members and doctors.

At the same time, the Xuanfu Times was in full swing to publicize the epidemic prevention and plague treatment, and various epidemic prevention points. Wu Youxing's "Treatise on the Epidemic of Warmth". It has been carried once before, and now it is reloaded, densely printed, and widely publicized in newspapers.

Not only publicity, but more importantly, action, in addition to a large number of doctors immediately stationed in Yingzhou. The epidemic prevention bureau also mobilized people everywhere to carry out large-scale rodent and flea eradication activities, especially domestic rats, which must be eliminated. At the same time, the streets and alleys were cleaned, garbage was transported, and a vigorous cleaning was launched.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, due to the financial collapse, many urban environments were dirty, with flies and gnats overgrown, and sewage flowed sideways, which was one of the reasons for the repeated epidemics in various places in the late Ming Dynasty.

Wang Dou's rule was fine, but the neighboring cities of Shanxi and Shaanxi were piled with garbage, and the stench was overwhelming. However, because the epidemic prevention bureau is well organized and has spent a large amount of money to mobilize the people, which is related to the life of the family, the people are very enthusiastic in this aspect of cleaning.

However, the epidemic is still fierce, and after the epidemic was discovered in Yingzhou, the number of deaths per day reached more than 300 people, and it spread very quickly, mainly because of the difficulty of isolation.

At this time, we are talking about the ways of "benevolence", "propriety" and "filial piety". If the elders of the family are sick, the younger ones should naturally accompany them at the bedside. Serve the decoction in the morning and evening, and always take care of it, so that it will be infected. If the younger generation of the family is sick, not to mention the elders who are always by their side, they will also be infected.

The plague was so fierce that it was even helpful to handle funerals, and those who went to the mourning at the end would get sick. The last life is heaven. For such reasons, it is not uncommon for one person to be infected, the whole family to die, and even hundreds of people in the whole clan to die cleanly.

The epidemic prevention bureau requires that infected people be quarantined immediately, but it is difficult to give up the separation of flesh and blood, and there are many people who conceal and do not report.

Under Wang Dou's rule, the armor protection system was layered, and patients could be easily found. Enforcement measures are then taken and implemented effectively. However, the remaining grassroots organizations have long been paralyzed, the Lijia system does not exist, and it is mostly a situation of gentry autonomy, and it is too easy to hide it.

It is best to cremate the sick corpse and bury it deeply, but according to the concept at this time, cremation is connected with another word: crushing bones and scattering ashes, and those who do not have a deep hatred do not do it. If you dare to burn your relatives to ashes, it will not be one or two who will fight with you.

No matter how hostile the two sides are, if the bodies of the dead can be sent after the war, it is the benevolence and righteousness praised by everyone. And destroying corpses, destroying corpses, killing corpses, that is a brutal and unkind crime.

Even isolating the sick and taking away the infected will cause criticism, thinking that it is an obstacle to benevolence and filial piety.

In mid-August, the plague spread to Taiyuan, Pingyang, Datong, and even Xuanfu and Anbei. In view of this, Wang Dou published a signed article in the newspaper, calling on the public to face up to the problem.

He quoted Mencius as saying, "Sister-in-law, help her." The world is drowning, and it is supported by the way", believing that the rampant plague is already related to the survival of the race, and has surpassed the ways of benevolence, courtesy, and filial piety, and has been elevated to the height of humanity and power.

Isolation, cremation, are all rights, calling on the people to help the world with their hands and go to the avenue together.

In August, he persuaded Wei Jingming, the governor of Datong, to collect more than 1,000 infected and dead corpses in Datong City, and pile the corpses into more than 100 piles outside the city, 100 corpses in each pile, and then pile up firewood and burn them.

At that time, there were many spectators, as well as all the civil and military officials of Datong City, and in the overwhelming wailing of the families of the deceased, these epidemic corpses were all reduced to ashes.

It is also miraculous to say, after the burning of the plague corpse, the number of deaths in the city dropped rapidly, and the number of infected people became smaller and smaller.

This news shook the whole of Shanxi, at this time, because of the sanitation everywhere, the distribution of masks has basically solved the problem of the way of transmission, and the biggest threat is the dead bodies. There was a precedent for success, and cities followed Wang Pu's example and began to burn the corpses of the sick, even the furniture and objects that the patients had touched.

The epidemic prevention bureau also adopted the method of "blocking traffic and closely inspecting", and organized heavy defense lines around some prefectures and counties where the epidemic was most severe, so that the epidemic did not spread excessively in Shanxi.

Of course, the pandemic is still severe, as variants are constantly emerging.

In late August, the Epidemic Prevention Bureau found that not only rat fleas had become the source of infectious diseases, but even cats and wild dogs had become new sources of infection and became hosts in the foci.

In late August, some tun people were infected by skinning foxes in Mo Nandong Town, and Wang Dou ordered to isolate the entire tun fort, kill all the foxes over there, and cremate them and bury them deeply.

In the second month of August, there were herdsmen in the town of Mo Nanzhong who fed the rabbit skin and rabbit meat of dead hares and became infected, Wang Dou ordered the culling of all the hares in the town, found one, cremated and buried one.

In early September, the epidemic prevention bureau found that a ranch in the town of Monanzhong seemed to have become a new source of infection, and Wang Dou ordered all the cattle, sheep and camels in the entire ranch to be killed and cremated and buried.

In September again, the Epidemic Prevention Bureau found that some wolves in Mo Nanxi Town had become new hosts, and Wang Dou ordered all the wolves on the grassland to be killed......

At the same time as the outbreak of plague in Shanxi, plague was also found in Shandong, Beizhi, Jingshi and other places, and finally broke out one after another. Their financial ability, organizational and executive ability, not to mention that they are not even able to catch up with Shanxi, after the outbreak of the plague, can be described as miserable.

……

Plague broke out in various parts of Daming, although the epidemic prevention bureau was unable to go deep into all parts of Daming, but at this time the Xuanfu Times has been widely spread, and the above epidemic prevention points have also attracted the attention of countless people.

One by one, the newspapers were spread, and countless people with the heart and ability did what they did, and finally survived.

September of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Shengjing, Chongzheng Palace.

Emperor Xuantong Dorgon looked intently through the newspapers in his hand.

“…… Pimple plague, also known as plague, is a strange smell that touches people, neither wind nor cold, neither heat nor dampness, not the external invasion of the six evils, and can not be treated as typhoid fever and external infection. Plague is mostly caused by filth, when the streets, houses, ditches, and rivers are cleaned, supplemented with white ash, so that rats, mosquitoes, flies, and fleas cannot spread. The way to prevent the epidemic is to retrace the epidemic route, strengthen road quarantine, control traffic arteries, isolate epidemic areas, cremate the bodies of plague patients, establish medical houses to accommodate patients, use masks when traveling, and drink medical soups such as Dayuan drink and three-elimination drink......"

"The prescription for Dayuan drink and three-elimination drink is as follows......"

“…… In response to the call of the Marquis of Yongning, on August 21, 1,155 corpses were burned in Datong City, and the epidemic in Datong was stopped. ”

"On August 23, 2,360 sick bodies were burned in Taiyuan City, and the epidemic in Taiyuan was relieved."

"August 24, Pingyang Fucheng ......"

"On August 25, Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi Province, and Feng Shikonghui, the governor of Shaanxi, burned 13,000 corpses outside the south gate......

"Urgent, urgent, in addition to house mice and mice, wild cats and wild dogs have become a new source of plague!"

"Urgent, urgent, foxes and hares are the new source of infection!"

"Do not eat the skin, meat, and internal organs of sick animals, and do not touch their blood, sputum, and ......"

"The Marquis of Yongning ordered to kill all wolves in the territory and all hares and foxes in the territory!"

"Shocked, Jingshi has become hell, nine sunrise and ten thousand coffins, at the request of Zhou Yanru of the Beijing Division Epidemic Prevention Office, and Chen Xinjia, the assistant director, a large number of doctors from the Epidemic Prevention Bureau rushed to Beijing to help!"

After a long time, he put down the newspaper, looked at the Hongwen Academy University in front of him, and said, "Is there a plague in Shengjing?" Where did it come from? ”

Ning Wan glanced at me and said: "Wechen traced the popular route, and it has been ascertained that the source is a Jialazhuang field outside the city, but it is because of a bag of edible otters. Now many families in the city have chills and high fever, and there are blood blisters in the sputum, according to the Ming newspaper, it is indeed the plague good! ”

Dolgon slowly closed his eyes, and after a long time, he opened his eyes, and said majestically: "The epidemic prevention bureau will be established immediately, I will be the general office, you will be the assistant, and 5,000 soldiers will be transferred as the epidemic prevention soldiers. ”

Ning finished I went in a hurry, Dolgon looked at his back, in government affairs and state affairs, it is still inseparable from the Han people, after ascending the throne, Dolgon found that he was the same as Huang Taiji, and he needed the assistance of Han ministers everywhere.

However, in terms of military raids, it is still necessary for the eight banners to be full of banners.

Thinking about the Qing Dynasty's raids and plundering revenues in Japan during these years, Dolgon couldn't help but smile with satisfaction on his face. (To be continued.) )
