Chapter 55 Dragon Heads Up
On the second day of the second month of the 11th year of Wanli, the dragon raised his head, and the chief medical officer Chen Shigong was ordered by the emperor to enter Tongzhou, and every household burned firecrackers.
On the day Chen Shigong entered the city, the medical household team failed to identify the possible source of infection during the pathology investigation. At night, each team held a meeting and listed a large number of sources of infection that could cause disease: dirty clothes, well water, dogs, sheep, donkeys, horses, cats, mice, and people.
The only thing they can confirm is that within the five insects, the two scale feathers do not seem to have symptoms of plague infection. In addition, Ying, Mao, and Kun are all prone to plague.
In the ancient five-invas theory, the winning insects are humans, caterpillars are animals, scale insects are aquatic animals, and feather insects are birds and birds. Insects are real insects.
More than 200 fully armed medical household teams were divided into 37 teams, and went deep into Tongzhou's neighbors to check the condition, and many of them were helped.
First, there were wounded soldiers in the Zhejiang Army. The plague first spread among them. More than 400 wounded soldiers were 96 sick, and the highest military rank was three hundred-man captains. Their wounded soldiers were very few. If they were placed in the past, many people would not even be classified as wounded.
Because there are too few people who are truly injured in battle, most of them are frostbite, which is the mark of pain that has survived the entire winter in the cold and cold Saibei.
The largest proportion of frostbite is fall injuries and burns, with more of the former and less of the latter. Ninety-ninety percent of these two injuries are flying fish soldiers.
Due to objective conditions, the Zhejiang Army was not used as a new weapon. The special training they used to ride was to get the results of 100,000 soldiers with a very small number of people, and the price they paid was also very high... In this era, a man named Wanhu was called Wanhu, and later he died.
All of them suppressed the fear in human nature, and with the ambition of dying, the sparks ignited the grassland, many people had no consciousness of landing at all, and felt that they had achieved their mission and would float wherever they could float; in other words, it was not easy to land with consciousness, and no one knew where they would land. Some hit cliffs, some hit the flying fish in the landing were torn by branches, and some were afraid of jumping out of the basket when they fell rapidly.
There were a few more unlucky people who took the Qinglong Army to Tongzhou for treatment with him than the Zhejiang Flying Fish soldiers. They were Mongolian riders who fry flowers. Seeing that the flying fish defeated the enemy, they chased the enemy and lost their way until the night, so they simply set off the horses and set up fires to eat and sleep. If they didn't go to the army, the army would find them.
With such a wish, my brothers were sleeping soundly. Ghosts screamed from above their heads, and a huge airboat hit the head, which was completely unpredictable.
It was the only perfectly forced landing of the Zhejiang Army's flying soldiers. The flying fish were not damaged, the crew was not injured, and they landed perfectly on the fire.
The only shortcoming is that the four sleeping friendly forces were hurt.
Because of this case, Qi Jiguang not only added the Flying Fish Family to his military books, but also set a prerequisite for the Flying Fish tactics. In the dark night, twenty to thirty miles away from the target of the wind attack, riders should be sent to light a bonfire on the ground in advance to serve as the preset landing location for the Flying Fish. Especially in the dark night, the landing location should be empty and flat, and people have to run away to prepare for the response.
This is also meaningful.
After half a day of inquiries and statistics, Chen Shigong basically reviewed the outbreak of the plague in Tongzhou.
The wounded soldiers of the Zhejiang Army had extremely high discipline. At the beginning of the spread of the plague, they had completed internal isolation and investigation. The method was simple but useful. Taking a cart in the Qinglong Army, one of them had an illness, and all the people in the car were isolated, so that the infection expanded among them and was completely curbed.
The source of the spread of the Tongzhou plague was not the wounded soldiers, but the doctors who lack protection in Tongzhou City and the mice on the military.
Many injured soldiers who were not ill and died have common memories. They saw rats on the military train. They were so cold that they were squinting their eyes in the wind that they were squinting in the wind. They were like the Zhejiang soldiers on the train. At that time, they joked that the mice also followed them to sit in the military train. Some people also said that the mouse would go back to Tongzhou with them to record meritorious deeds and would also be a rat general in the future.
But unexpectedly, what came was a plague general.
The medical household was recruited by the military officer to the quarantine tent for treatment. After seeing the disease, they went back to decoct medicine, and then took the medical treatment to treat other people in the city with bruises and injuries, headaches and fever. These were the weakest groups of people with the weakest resistance. The medical households who had seen the disease fell ill one after another, and then the people who were treated couldn't afford to get sick, and then they broke out one by one.
It's a big deal.
The magistrate who died was a good person and a cruel person. He was a child in his early forties and finally passed the Jinshi in the second year of Wanli. He served as a magistrate of three subordinates in Tongzhou. He encountered a plague when he was the magistrate of Wuqing two years ago. At that time, the court commented that he was favorable to governance, but he always felt that many people were depressed. When Chen Shigong asked his eldest son in his family, he repeatedly heard the children say that his father always thought about the people who died in the plague in Wuqing.
This time, he simply moved into the neighborhood where the epidemic broke out at the beginning, with a mouthful of righteousness. He sent all the people who were fine out of the epidemic house, but left himself in the epidemic house forever.
Although the magistrate's most upright momentum in his heart did not block the plague, he left a full 18,000-word record of the epidemic for Chen Shigong, which included isolation, dispatch, and planning for the management measures required by the government for the epidemic, as well as records of 322 cases of people suffering from illness from beginning to end, and his own physical and psychological changes from beginning to end after he became sick, so he was fine to every moment of every hour.
Chen Shigong even believed that the magistrate did not need to record his own physical changes. The fonts on these hundreds of papers, from the beginning, were like the standard printed regular Kaitai Pavilion style, to the last sixty pages of sloppyness, allowing him to see the righteousness in a person's heart and the disappearance of life.
"I copied this transcript of the epidemic in the magistrate outside the city. I could not take it away, but I will submit it to His Majesty when the epidemic is over."
Chen Shigong believes that some of the response measures in the book are effective, while others are not so perfect. However, this has expanded new ideas for him to develop in the despair of limited manpower. The doctors rely on doctors to treat this "infectious disease". Not only can they not be cured, but there are no standardized and standardized protective measures. No matter how good the doctors are, they will take advantage of it.
He used Penicillium to treat seven cases of different severity and severity, but it was not known how effective it was. This was a completely different treatment method, but at this moment, it was no different from the past.
It is probably not possible to ask him to lead troops, but as a military doctor, military theory is essential to teach medicine in a border area where military training is in progress.
For him, fighting against plague and illness is war.
War emphasizes soldiers and seize key areas quickly, and treatment emphasizes the right medicine as the symptoms are added and reduced according to the symptoms. Common decoctions are applied, just like adding reinforcements. For example, if you set up camp in Beishan, I will set up a village in Nangu. If you use infantry to form a large formation, I will shoot through the formation with musket wheels; if you use cavalry to burst, I will connect with chariots, and I will pay attention to restraining and subduing one thing. The emergence of artillery changed the situation of the war.
Penicillium is the same for Chen Shigong at this time. It is the general artillery in Chen Shigong's eyes. It hits the enemy's camp with one shot, and teaches the enemy to be defeated like a mountain.
It can be regarded as a god, but in the final analysis, gods are also used by people.
