Duan Fei set up a table and a chair in front of the big tent, two hundred medical officers were brought, and more than fifty Jinyi guards and hundreds and thousands of households from the Shenji Battalion were watching, everyone didn't know what Duan Fei was going to do, and they all looked at him with bated breath.

Duan Fei walked around in front of them with his hands behind his back, then stood in front of the big tent and said to everyone: "Now, this official can tell you what happened when this official was ordered to take you to Shaanxi, there was a big battle in Shaanxi, and the emperor sent us to Shaanxi to fight the disease and provide disaster relief. ”

Jin Yiwei was unmoved, but those medical officers whispered one after another, saying something I had already guessed and so on, an older medical officer who seemed to be the head of the group of doctors coughed heavily, and arched his hand to Duan Fei and said, "Lord Qincha, dare to ask what epidemic has happened in Shaanxi?" ”

Duan Fei said: "Imperial Doctor Yuan, it's a pox. ”

"Ahh The medical officers exclaimed one after another, this time even the Jinyi guards were a little restless, Jiao Yang pressed the knife and shouted: "What are you arguing about!" Shut up! ”

Although he drank the brocade guard, the medical officers also obediently closed their mouths.

Imperial Doctor Yuan stomped his feet and said, "Lord Duan, if you know that it is a pox, you should gather those medical officers who have had pox before leaving Beijing, now nine out of ten people here have never had pox, and it is too dangerous to go to the epidemic area easily." ”

"Yes, yes......" Many medical officers echoed, and some even said: "My lord, I am old and young, and I am the only seedling in the family. ”

Duan Fei said indifferently: "Don't worry, this official had a dream last night, and in the dream, Guanyin Bodhisattva passed on me the thaumaturgy of planting pox, which can prevent pox. ”

A brocade guard came in with a cow, and the medical officers suddenly fried the pot again, and they exclaimed, "Pox cow? What are you kidding, don't grow human pox and cowpox, what if you go crazy? ”

"Yes, yes, what if you have cowpox, and there are no twists on your face, but horns grow on your head?"

"Maybe I can't even speak, I can only bleat, I can't even walk, I can only crawl on all fours."

"Silence!" Duan Fei shouted: "You can freely choose to plant cowpox or human pox, the official will not force you, but don't blame me if the pox dies, the official will give you a demonstration now, take the pox." ”

The brocade guard of the morning glory bent down to take a thick spot on the cow, Qian Rujing came to his side and whispered, "Lord Duan, you ......"

Duan Fei waved his hand, Qian Rujing's words didn't come out, and the brocade guard sent the cotton swab stained with cowpox to Duan Fei and said, "Lord Duan, the cowpox has been taken." ”

Duan Fei beckoned to Imperial Doctor Yuan and said, "Imperial Physician Yuan, this official ordered you to plant cowpox for me with your own hands, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" Come here! ”

Imperial Physician Yuan had no choice but to come to the table, take a cotton swab, sniff it, and make sure that the thing was indeed a pox taken from a cow, he hesitated: "Lord Duan, are you sure you really want to plant cowpox?" There has been no precedent before, but I am afraid of ......"

Duan Fei said loudly: "Acne has existed since ancient times, how have you ever heard of the art of human pox?" Last night, the Bodhisattva taught me the art of planting cowpox, which can benefit everyone in the world, do you dare not believe it? Take a knife and cut the skin of the upper part of my left hand, apply the pox on it, and then stick it with a plaster, and then take it off at dawn, and the cowpox will be planted, the Bodhisattva said, successfully planted cowpox, and there will be no need to worry about smallpox in the future, and pox cows can be seen everywhere, everyone in the world can plant cowpox at any time, so that all the people of the Ming Dynasty do not have to worry about smallpox rampant, this is the great kindness of the Bodhisattva, you still dare to slander, are you not afraid of retribution? ”

Imperial Physician Yuan sighed lightly and said, "Lord Duan, after all, it is the first time to plant cowpox, you should first find a few death criminals to verify it, my lord, you are a member of the imperial court, and you are responsible for disaster relief, how can you easily risk your life?" ”

Duan Fei knew that what Imperial Physician Yuan said was right, but now was not the time for them to experiment slowly, he glared at him and said, "If you don't give me pox again, I will kill you, and then ask the next Imperial Doctor to plant it for me!" ”

Imperial Physician Yuan shook his head helplessly, picked up the sharp knife on the side, and cut a small knife obliquely on Duan Fei's left arm that had rolled up his sleeves, cutting off a thin piece of skin, blood suddenly gushed out, condensing into a bead of blood on Duan Fei's arm, Imperial Physician Yuan applied the cotton swab on it, and then used an inch square plaster that had been roasted softly, and pasted the cotton swab head on the wound, so that the cowpox virus could fully infect the wound and avoid the failure of the pox.

Until the 21st century, cowpox is still the most effective and safest and cheapest way to prevent smallpox, but in the era of advanced science, the cowpox virus can be cultivated directly in the laboratory and injected into the human body with injections, which is simple and effective.

Imperial Physician Yuan put down the knife and arched his hand to Duan Fei, "Lord Duan, the cowpox has been planted. ”

Everyone fantasized about Duan Fei suddenly fainting, and then the horns on his head turned into the Bull Demon King, but Duan Fei stood up energetically and said: "Everyone can see the method of planting cowpox very clearly, you Imperial Doctor and Hanlin Medical Officer can choose to plant cowpox by yourself or go to the epidemic area to plant human pox again, this official will not interfere, but the three thousand Jinyi guards and the soldiers of the two thousand Shenji Battalion must plant cowpox, plant it now, whoever dares to disobey the order or engage in favoritism will be killed!" ”

Duan Fei's unquestionable words caused a commotion, and Duan Fei shouted: "Can't the brothers of Jinyiwei still believe me Duan Fei? I'm also afraid of death, but it's safe to plant cowpox, we have the blessing of the Bodhisattva, what are we afraid of? Don't blame me, brothers in the Shenji Battalion, the emperor handed you over to me, and I will bring you back safely, if any of you are killed or injured due to cowpox, I, Duan Fei, will compensate you for your life plus 10,000 taels of silver for each person's family! ”

Hearing Duan Fei's words, the people of Jinyi Wei clamored: "We are not afraid of anything with Master Duan, Lord Duan, you give orders!" ”

Although the people in the Shenji Camp were a little apprehensive, Duan Fei had already planted cowpox in public, and everyone had nothing to say, seeing this, Duan Fei said with satisfaction: "Very good, everyone is a good brother who lives and dies together!" I will never harm you, now I will ask Yuan Taiyi to arrange manpower, take three thousand brocade guards and two thousand Shenji Battalion soldiers as examples, on-site practice of pox and pox prevention and control techniques, remember, each person disinfects a cotton swab, can not be mixed, each used knife must be boiled in boiling water for at least ten minutes, and soaked in spirits, burned on the fire before it can be used again, Yuan Taiyi, now you can start, Jiao Yang, you and a hundred households, thousands of households first plant cowpox, and then bring a hundred brothers who have been planted with cowpox to supervise the pox, any favoritism, If you catch it, you don't have to report it to me. ”

Jiao Yang agreed loudly, Imperial Doctor Yuan reluctantly organized those imperial doctors and Hanlin medical officers, and began to plant cowpox for everyone, Qian Rujing was in a tangled mood, but he also stepped forward and became the second person to plant cowpox, Ruan Xiangshu, Shi Bin, Yang Sen, etc. around Duan Fei also planted cowpox, and then it was Jiao Yang's turn, although it took time to boil water and disinfect, but at the moment it was in the barracks, almost everyone had two or three knives, and the soldiers used knives to cut a small cut on their bodies without even blinking their eyelids, so the cowpox was planted very quickly.

A cow is not enough, more pox cattle have been brought in, and there will be more pox cows, the Jinyi Wei Intelligence Department has searched everywhere for pox cows, if it is not enough, some people will have some small sores on their hands after planting cowpox, and those thick can also be used.

"My lord? I had pox when I was young, so I don't need to get cowpox, right? An officer of the Shenji Battalion raised his hand and reported loudly to Duan Fei.

Duan Fei said in a deep voice: "Planting human pox and then planting cowpox will not have any effect on you, so if you want to plant the same, no one can be an exception." ”

The man sat down helplessly, waiting for the medical officer to give him a pox, seeing that everything was in order, Duan Fei recruited Qian Rujing, Ruan Xiangshu, Shi Bin, Yang Sen and others into the big tent, and after sitting down at the chairman's table, Duan Fei asked: "Wang Zuo, what's wrong with the intelligence system over there in Shaanxi?" Have you checked it out? ”

Wang Zuo replied in a deep voice: "My lord, I have rushed to Xi'an overnight yesterday, and found that our people in Xi'an Mansion have been in a mess, and several key people in charge have disappeared. ”
