In ancient Europe, robbers kidnapped plague doctors very common.

Because these plague doctors are not actually experts, most of them are helpless after being attacked by the plague and are hiring money.

They generally have low standards and do not possess excellent medical skills. They are mostly second-rate township doctors, unable to gain a foothold in the hospital, young people who are just starting out to prove themselves and amateurs who are temporarily cramming.

For example, this time, London sent two plague doctors who were kidnapped on the road. One of them was a fruit salesman at the vegetable market on the south bank of the Thames River before applying.

Another advantage is that although he was from a vegetable market, he was a butcher and was employed as a ship doctor on a merchant ship on a Dutch route.

Usually, plague doctors are kidnapped and the towns that hire them are willing to pay a ransom of several or even dozens of times higher than ordinary people to redeem them so that they can enter the epidemic area.

Under religious doctrine, no one is allowed to dissect corpses, except for the plague doctor... Because the mortality rate in this business is too high, regardless of law or doctrine, there is actually nothing that can restrain them.

Usually when a plague breaks out, one of the ten plague doctors who enter the epidemic area can come back after the end and bring back a small amount of information about the epidemic.

However, given the medical skills of the two half-baked plague doctors, Drake did not think they could have a higher medical skills than Cao Changqing, so he simply did not intend to pay their ransom.

Perhaps all the cats were killed, and no one in England could curb the crazy reproduction of mice. When the plague spread, the city was filled with crazy mice.

The English are not fools either. They have discovered the mysterious connection between plague and cats: it must be evil cats who bring plague.

So as long as you kill all the cats, the plague will be defeated without any attack!

In Cao Changqing's view, this is the disrespect of the British people to Prince Lu of the Ming Dynasty!

Through a simple formula, we can know that 'The brothers of Prince Lu are equal to big orange' and 'Big orange is equal to cat'.

Similarly, "The brothers of Prince Lu are equal to Emperor Wanli" are also correct.

So, what is the connection between Mao and Emperor Wanli?

It’s very disrespectful!

The East City of Plymouth is divided into four neighborhoods by Master Cao of the Makino Association. The two closest areas are called Yong'anfang and Qing'anfang.

According to the ancient naming habits of the Central Plains dynasty, the names usually represent good wishes. They have always been called Yong'an, Qing'an, and An. As long as the name contains the word An, it is often a place of war that must be fought for by military strategists.

This is no exception. If you think about it, you will know that the Plymouth yamen will not sell any good locations for the Makino Club.

Yong'anfang has the largest vegetable market in Plymouth, surrounded by soldiers and sailors, Qing'anfang has the largest brothel and apprentice street in Plymouth. Such personnel composition means the disadvantages of dense population, poor living, poor sanitation, easy to gather chaos.

It is not the sailors and soldiers who are prone to gathering people to be confused, but the seemingly stable apprentices.

In the 42nd year of Jiajing, England issued the "Craftsman Act" to publicly restrict the movement of apprentices to protect the interests of older craftsmen, residents and Xingdong, making the apprentice's life even more depressed.

They paid high tuition fees and suffered humiliation during their studies. Whether the male apprentice was tied to a pillar and beaten to vomit blood, not given food and drink, or the female apprentice's clothes were pawned by Xingdong, they could not participate in normal religious activities or even live with dirty people.

They can tolerate all these hardships.

What made them most dissatisfied was that all walks of life recruited a large number of cheap rural labor to increase the difficulty of employment for regular apprentices; in order to maintain their monopoly status, the guild continued to extend the school system, raise the admission fee, cancel the apprenticeship salary, and suppress the normal promotion of apprentice helpers.

There are also older apprentices who cannot graduate for life.

Intensifying competitive pressure and uncertain employment prospects undoubtedly aggravate social conflicts, so the communities where apprentices live are most likely to experience riots such as alcoholism and trouble, fights and other riots.

Just a few days ago, a big conflict occurred in Qing'anfang. More than a dozen apprentices surrounded the brothel first, and then clashed with French clients in the brothel during the chaos, and died for no reason.

Except for the Ming Dynasty, where the resident guild halls were located, the Dutch people like France lived in Yong'anfang with the sailors, but their captains might live in brothels. The apprentices hated foreigners for more than a day or two.

Many foreign craftsmen snatched their jobs, a phenomenon that was even worse in London.

But the apprentice could not beat foreigners with swords and guns, and he did not dare to provoke the Ming people.

There are only more than 7,000 people in the entire city of Plymouth, and less than one-twentieth of the apprentices. In addition, there are only more than 300 old craftsmen in the east. There are nearly four hundred Ming people who stay in the city now.

Not to mention the castle-like enclosure and various weapons. Looking for the French and Dutch bullying means that they are in great distress and need to vent their feelings. Looking for the Ming people means that this person is extremely distressed and simply doesn't want to live anymore.

However, after that conflict, the streets are now quiet. The apprentices in Qing'anfang do not make a fuss, and the sailors in Yong'anfang do not make trouble. Because the epidemic is serious, they don't have to worry about fighting.

The streets are quiet, the grounds are not quiet.

Groups of mice rolled back and forth like black clouds on the dirty dirt road, rushing forward and forward to the well pressed by huge rocks with a tingling sound. After finding that it was impossible to obtain water, they rushed to another street again, head to tail.

At the corner of the intersection, three sailors wearing dirty clothes stood. They were wearing short swords around their waists, covered with thick mud, and short swords on their waists. They wore triangles stacked with talismans like wearing necklaces hanging on their chests with triangular talismans.

Arsenic was placed inside.

Seeing Cao Changqing bringing people here, several sailors took off their round hats and bowed their heads to greet them. They were volunteers who spontaneously stood up from the neighbors. They set up a checkpoint under Cao Changqing's command to prohibit the people in the court from going out.

In fact, Cao Changqing's initial idea was that everyone would stay in the tavern room, stay at home, and stay in any place they could stay safe and not go out, but he couldn't do it. Even though the corpse collector was pushing five bodies wrapped in linen toward the direction of the monastery, there was still someone walking around in Yong'anfang behind them.

Even if you use swords, guns, artillery, no one can forbid people from Yong'anfang to go out.

Because they have to use the toilet, Plymouth has no toilet like France - this sentence may not be accurate.

A small town with a population of only 10,000 is not a political center, but a place with the largest flow of people, and is naturally a vegetable market.

The toilet is located next to the vegetable market. Every European town has such a small street. It is located next to the vegetable market. It may be called Mutou Street, Squat Butt Street, or Thousand Alley. It is always an open-air toilet.

People who go to the market will go to the toilet there, and people nearby will also pour their home excrement there. This is just a habit.
