From the moment he heard the coughing sound, Li Xiao felt that something was wrong. It was normal for one or two people to catch a cold in the winter, but it was abnormal for hundreds of people to catch a cold at once. What's more, there were only a few hundred people here.

Now that someone was unconscious, Li Xiao, who had received education in three preventions, became highly vigilant.

"Put on your mask and check whether those people's eyes are bleeding!" Li Xiao saw a medical officer next to him and immediately came over to assign them.

"No!" Seeing Li Xiao's nervous expression, the medical officer came down from the city wall without knowing why. He looked at the guy who fell to the ground!

These medical officers all studied with Tang Ruowang on Changxing Island and were taught by Li Zhongzi. They are the product of the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Although their medical treatment is not that good because of their experience, they still have two skills in dealing with trauma! Sure enough, this

The bottom of the guy's eyelids were blood red.

"Commander! This guy's eyes are bleeding." The medical officer shouted towards the city.

"Check these people. Anyone who has fever, cough, shortness of breath, fast heartbeat, confusion, flushed or pale face...all will be sent to the Jiangnan Guild Hall outside the city and imprisoned. They are not allowed to go out and are not allowed to enter. Mobilize

All medical officers, check all soldiers as I say.

Once the above symptoms appear, they are all sent to the Imperial Mansion outside the city for supervision. They are also not allowed to go out or enter! No one can be ordered not to come into contact with these patients.

Zu Chengxun, after you take your subordinates for inspection, immediately go to Jinan to invite Mr. Li Zhongzi. Hurry!

Stop all the demobilization work of the rebels, quickly!" Li Xiao issued a series of orders urgently. Zu Dashou and Zhang Huangyan, who were nearby, looked at Li Xiao strangely, wondering what happened.

"Come back to the city tower with me." Li Xiao ordered Zu Dashou and Zhang Huangyan. The two guys followed Li Xiao into the city tower with suspicion. Li Xiao kicked everyone out, leaving only the three of them.

.

"Plague?" Zu Dashou and Zhang Huangyan's faces immediately turned pale when they heard the words coming from Li Xiao's mouth. They had just fought a war, and suddenly a plague came. There are still 500,000 to 600,000 people in the capital.

, once the news of this plague spreads, it is no joke.

"Commander, are you not mistaken?" Zu Dashou's voice was trembling.

Fifteen years ago, the great epidemic in Liaodong occurred in winter. The land of Liaodong was littered with corpses. That year, the entire ancestral family lost a total of thirty-seven members.

"I guess that's right. Coughing, fever, fainting, and most importantly, hemorrhage under the eyes. This is the more severe plague among plagues. In distant Europe, this plague has killed tens of millions of people."

"Plague? What does that have to do with rats? If it were rats, wouldn't it be over if we had people hunt and kill them?" Zhang Huangyan asked quickly.

"The rats must be eliminated, but now is not the time. Besides, it is very dangerous to come into contact with rats now. The most important thing now is to isolate the sick people. Move these people outside the city, to the imperial mansions or to the villas of the princes and ministers.

Go inside."

"That is the Imperial Mansion, and there is also a separate courtyard for the ministers. If we do this, long live the return to Beijing...that person will be greatly offended." Zhang Huangyan was a little worried.

"Who cares about this at this time? This is a plague. A plague that may kill everyone in the capital. Are you still considering whether to offend anyone?

The most important thing now is to find the source of the plague. I guess it must be among the rioters. Control these refugees and check all of them. If they encounter resistance, kill them!

If you see someone who is seriously ill, burn it immediately. Even their clothes, anyway, everything they have is burned. People who have been in contact with them must be isolated and observed. If they also show symptoms... burn!

Starting today, the whole city will be under curfew. Grain depots will be opened, and grain, firewood, and carbon will be distributed to every household. No one is allowed to go on the streets, and no one is allowed to move around. Organize people to patrol the streets, and anyone who violates the ban will be killed without mercy!

"Now Li Xiao feels that there are not enough crematoriums outside the city, but too few. In a few days, many people will be burned.

Li Xiao is not a professional and lacks the means to deal with the plague. At present, all he can think of is to isolate the patients and burn all sources of pollution!

The three-prevention education received by later generations simply told soldiers how to protect against biological and chemical weapons and nuclear weapons. It did not tell soldiers how to prevent plague. Li Xiao searched the knowledge in his head eight times and could not find any specific measures.

The helpless Li Xiao had no choice but to keep saying the cruel word "kill"! There was no way, the plague of later generations brought very frightening memories to Li Xiao, so there was no mercy at this time.

"Zu Dashou, it's up to you to handle this matter. I'd rather kill the wrong person! Don't let it go!" Let's leave things like killing to the soldiers. After all, they are all people who make a living with the knives in their hands. Killing people,

It is their professional profession.

"Nuo!" Zu Dashou walked out with a bloody Sha Wu She.

Li Xiao walked irritably inside the tower, like a trapped tiger.

"Now we must create some more rumors, saying that the 100,000-strong Tatar army has left and returned, so we have to close the nine gates and implement a curfew to prevent spies. Otherwise, people's hearts will be unstable." After all, he is an old fox who has become a spirit.

He immediately thought of a publicity plan to solve this kind of problem, and came up with a suitable reason for closing the nine gates and sealing off the capital.

"Yeah! Let's do it!"

The nine gates of the capital were closed, and the rebels who were captured and prepared to be sent to Liaodong were subject to extremely strict interrogations. If you don't interrogate, you won't know, but if you interrogate, you will be shocked.

It turned out that the plague had long spread among the chaotic people, and people kept dying of the disease on the way from Guanzhong to the capital. Hundreds of thousands of people were starving, and no one cared about some of them dying. Of course, Zhang Xianzhong was not as good at identifying plague as Li Xiao.

Eyesight. When he retreated, the plague was already widespread among the people.

Li Xiao closed his eyes in pain. Do you expect refugees who have no food to eat not to rely on themselves? When people have no food to eat, rats naturally become good things.

Clever rats are not easy to catch, and naturally sick rats are easier to catch. God knows whether the refugees will cook the rats, but I heard that some plague bacteria can still survive in boiling water of 100 degrees.

No wonder the hundreds of thousands of refugees had very mediocre combat capabilities. No wonder that when Zhang Xianzhong fled, those refugees would sit there and wait for the massacre. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to resist, it wasn’t that they didn’t want to escape. It was just that they were infected with the plague and had no strength.

Yang Sichang and Qian Qianyi must have known for a long time that there was a sign of the plague in Guanzhong. Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to explain why the emperor and his family fled the capital in a hurry. It also explains why Zhu Youjian violated the laws of heaven.

The ancestral motto of the son guarding the gate of the country, and the king dying in the country.

It’s a routine! It’s all a fucking routine. These bastards have cast a net and are waiting for me to get in. They think that all my Liao army will be lost in this plague, and Huang Taiji’s Tatar soldiers will also be lost in this plague.

In the plague, it would be best if both Lao Tzu and Huang Taiji were infected and died. After the plague gradually subsided, they would come back to take over this former capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Xiao admitted that he was no match for these bastards in terms of evil thoughts.

It's so vicious, so damn sinister.

Compared with these bastards who play politics, Zu Dashou, whose hands are stained with blood, looks like a Bodhisattva after shaving his beard.

The nine gates of the capital city were closed, and those who were infected were quickly isolated. Out of fear of the plague, Zu Dashou was very cunning. Many people in isolation were actually thrown into the fire pit alive. After being burned, their ashes were buried deep in the ground.

The most infected people were the rioters from Guanzhong. They were originally the key people infected by the plague. The most unethical thing Zu Dashou did was to gather the sick rioters into a huge courtyard. Then

Pour the oil on it and start burning!

A large number of corpses must be disposed of in the crematoria around the capital every day. Li Xiao issued a death order and must burn all the corpses around the capital in the shortest possible time. And he must ensure that they are burned cleanly and thoroughly, leaving no trace behind.

Meat, a piece of cloth!

The residents in the city were strictly confined to their homes. Some people were distributing rice, food, firewood and charcoal from door to door. Everyone was locked in their homes and could not even come out to relieve themselves.

After the rebels had their weapons confiscated, they were put under guard. Letting these people go would actually reduce the epidemic in the capital, but the whole of Hebei would suffer.

Rumors began to fly all over the sky that the Tatar Khan Huang Taiji had returned with an army of 500,000 people. Zhuangzi in such and such a place was massacred, and a Tatar army was seen in such and such a place without beginning or end.

Out of fear of the Tatars, the common people stayed at home. Since Marshal Li could defeat the Tatars for the first time, he could naturally defeat the Tatars for the second time. With the last victory, the people of the capital fought against Li Xiao.

The ability is still very trustworthy.

This may be the only good news Li Xiao has heard in five days.

Li Zhongzi finally arrived in the capital, which was Li Xiao's only hope. Now he can only hope that this Ming miraculous doctor can defeat the plague, the evil of the century.

"Doctor Li, how is the epidemic? Can you...!" Li Xiao was very afraid of hearing the words "no way" from Li Zhongzi's mouth. If these three words appeared, many people would die. The unit is tens of thousands.

calculate!

"Uh...!" Li Zhongzi is still that slow-tempered. He has seen more than a dozen sick soldiers this morning, but this old guy is still so unhurried.

Li Xiao's head almost exploded with sparks, but he was indifferent.

"This disease is very virulent. The Marshal said it was spread by rats, which seems possible. Although I don't know how to cure this disease, I can study some ancient prescriptions. Treat these patients separately, and the recovery will be a sign of success.

Which recipe is effective?"

It turns out that the old guy wants to conduct clinical drug trials. Although Li Xiao thinks this method is a bit time-consuming, now it is the only way.

"How many days will it take for it to work?"

"The medicine is very strong and only takes three days. As long as one person is cured, large-scale prevention and treatment can be carried out. Fortunately, the commander took precautions in advance and sprinkled quicklime in the toilets. Households are not allowed to move around. Those who

All the sick people were sent outside the city. The dead were burned and buried deeply. These measures greatly alleviated the spread of the epidemic.

Just like this, those who test the medicine will have to bear very high risks. Let me think about it again and see if there is a foolproof plan." Li Zhongzi felt a little guilty, after all, he was not a Japanese who treated others as inappropriate.

"It's already this time, how can you still care about this?" Li Xiao couldn't care about so much now, he was so anxious that he almost jumped up.

In desperation, Li Zhongzi hurriedly ordered someone to go out to get medicine. After checking the medicine himself, he immediately prepared a decoction of water.

Although Li Xiao was anxious, there was nothing he could do. Fortunately, the old guy agreed to control this huge city for three days and then control this huge city for three more days. Li Xiao asked himself whether he could still do it.

Facts have proved that Li Xiao was too confident. Just one day later, Li Xiao encountered a huge problem.

Several guys in the rebel army were sick, and according to Li Xiao's order, such people had to be isolated. But somehow, the news that Zu Dashou burned people alive spread. When the Liao army went to carry people inside the rebel camp,

Encountered great obstacles.

Zu Dashou is a rough man, and the only way rough people can reason is with fists and knives. When a thousand people want to reason with ten thousand people, fists are obviously not a good choice.

At first it was just a physical fight with shouts and curses, but soon it turned into a physical fight. When people on both sides died, the seeds of hatred were sown.

The battle continues to escalate, from swords, guns, swords and halberds to rifles and cannons.

Li Xiao sent a company to quell the riot at noon, and had to send a regiment to rescue that company in the afternoon.

Rumors travel faster than the wind. In just half an hour, Li Xiao heard various versions. Although the stories were different and the people who died in the stories were different, one thing was the same, that is, each one sounded better than the other.

Evil.

Some people even say that the reason why Li Xiao was able to defeat the Tatars was because Li Xiao signed a contract with the Lord of Hell, and the Lord of Hell sent ghost soldiers to help Li Xiao win the battle. Li Xiao wanted to borrow the ghost soldiers of the Lord of Hell to help Yan

The prince is conquering in the underworld.

It has to be said that the creativity of the working people is endless. When various versions of the story became popular in the capital, the people in the capital who were quite quiet a few days ago also took action.

More and more people are unwilling to stay at home. Even though they have food and drink, they are unwilling to stay at home. These people begin to flock to the streets, and some rogues want to take advantage of the chaos.

For them, the more chaotic the capital, the better. The more chaotic they are, the more opportunities they have to take advantage of it. The last time they had a pleasant robbery, Li Xiao led an army to the city to stop it. Now that there is such a good opportunity, how can they let it go.

They are the most active in spreading rumors, and they are also the ones who attack patrols in the dark. Even in broad daylight, they will encourage those who have nothing to do and are scared to the point of peeing by the rumors to take to the streets and demand that the Nine Doors be opened to release them and escape.

Go to the capital.

Besieged on all sides! Li Xiao is in dire straits now, and it is obvious that he cannot kill all the rebels. If he does this, Li Xiao's reputation will be ruined on the street, and no one will trust him in the future.
Chapter completed!
