Li Banghua thought that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to say a word, and if he said more, he would be wrong.

Zhu Youzhen's gaze swept over the faces of the ministers one by one, feeling that they really didn't know each other very well.

The people of ancient times did not experience many plagues like modern people.

Besides, they have just risen up, and they can't let Wei Zaode's dereliction of duty make them take the blame.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not that I blame you, there is indeed a plague outbreak in Jingshi.

This is a plague that comes from rats, humans are not immune, the virus can be transmitted from person to person, and people are seriously infected.

The three battalions have long since lost the ability to fight, and there is a serious shortage of soldiers, and now there are only more than 500 sick soldiers, and all those who can move have fled.

Not only were they severely short of troops, but their management was also chaotic, and their arsenal firearms were badly damaged.

Not only did these rebels not report to the court, but they dared to eat empty salaries for so many years, they were definitely the moths of my Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was desolate by them. ”

"Now I have something for you to do, you must strictly follow my will, you must not be sloppy, have you heard clearly?"

Li Banghua, Qi Jiguang and other important ministers were shocked by Zhu Youzhen's words.

They all heard that someone was sick, and they did not know that the disease could be transmitted from person to person, and it was so terrifying that they hurriedly bowed down and replied:

"Your Majesty, the ministers must strictly follow His Majesty's will, please rest assured."

Zhu Youzhen nodded and began to pass on the message:

"Sun Chuanting listens to the order."

Sun Chuanting took a step forward:

"The Last Will Be"

Zhu Youzhen's face was very solemn and said:

"You lead all the new troops, bring all the doctors of the Tai Hospital, immediately go and plan a few resettlement areas, disinfect them first, and then gather all the infected plague people in the Jingshi there.

Remember, after the patient is placed in a unified manner, no one outside is allowed to approach, and the patient cannot be allowed to leave the fixed area. ”

"Obey"

After Sun Chuanting received the order, he quickly left.

Zhu Youzhen called Sun Chengzong again:

"Sun Chengzong listens to orders"

"The Minister"

Sun Chengzong hurriedly stepped forward to receive the order.

Looking at the gray-haired Da Ming Zhongsoul in front of him, Zhu Youzhen felt a little, if he hadn't been summoned, he would never have let him do this dangerous thing.

"I ordered you to lead the Shenji Battalion to assist Sun Chuanting and send those who were infected to a safe quarantine area.

Whether it is a prince or a minister or a nobleman in the court, once infected, he will be treated uniformly, and those who do not obey will be beheaded.

"The old minister's order."

Without any hesitation or stop, Sun Chengzong ordered to leave the Taihe Hall immediately.

After the second grandson left, Zhu Youzhen's gaze stayed on Qi Jiguang's face, and Qi Jiguang hurriedly bowed down to salute:

"Your Majesty, is it the turn of Weichen, please give an order."

Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly:

"Of course, Aiqing doesn't have to go in person, I still have important things to arrange.

You order the adjutant general to lead 5,000 Qi family troops to dig a pit at the foot of the mountain outside the city, and burn and bury all the dead patients, remember all. ”

"Obey the order, Weichen will live up to His Majesty's trust."

After Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting, and Qi Jiguang received the order and left, Li Banghua and others stepped forward to ask for the order.

As the new cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, how can he stand by and watch when the Ming Dynasty is in danger.

"Holy Lord, our old bones have not fallen apart yet, please make an order to the Holy One, we are willing to go to the soup for the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Youzhen is very satisfied with the volunteering of these people, but their bodies are not good and they are easy to be infected.

Originally, Zhu Youzhen had long planned to open a warehouse to release grain to help the people, but seeing that there was such a serious epidemic, he temporarily canceled the release of grain.

If the warehouse is opened to release grain, it will inevitably cause crowds to gather, which will create an opportunity for the spread of plague and superspread.

Only by isolating the sick can the warehouse be opened and the grain can be released, but it is also necessary to be very cautious, so Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that you are the backbone of my Ming Dynasty, but you are not suitable to go to the front line to fight the epidemic.

After Sun Chuanting isolates the patients, you will immediately open a warehouse and release grain to help the people, and there must be no more starvation deaths.

The Ministry of Household Affairs shall collect statistics on the household registration and population of the Beijing Division as soon as possible, and the Cabinet Ministries shall temporarily assist the Ministry of Household Affairs in counting idle and redundant farmland shops, and report to the Imperial Court as soon as possible. ”

"The emperor is sage, and the ministers are in charge."

Jingshi opened a warehouse to release grain, this is a big thing, at least these people have not experienced it, what they have experienced is to increase taxes and raise food.

As for whether there is grain and grass, they don't have to worry about this, Zhu Youzhen has collected the grain from corrupt officials and corrupt officials, which is enough for the people of Beijing to eat for a year.

This is not counting the grain stored in the treasury itself, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the grain depot will definitely not lack food, just for self-protection, the imperial court does not dare to release grain to the people.

It is not difficult to find a resettlement isolation area, which is now sparsely populated and has a lot of vacant houses.

Soon Sun Chuanting was on the outskirts of the city, demarcating a large area as a quarantine area.

After demarcating the area, the first thing is to disinfect this place, which is not a big problem for Sun Chuanting's more than 10,000 new troops.

At that time, there was no very good disinfectant, and the two Ming military gods followed Zhu Youzhen's instructions and disinfected them all with quicklime water.

This time of disinfection, almost half of the army of the Beijing Division was dispatched, not only the quarantine area had to be disinfected, but almost the entire Beijing Division was sprinkled with lime water, and the smell of lime was everywhere.

After the disinfection was over, the Shenji Battalion began to bring those displaced people and local patients from Jingshi to the quarantine area.

Of course, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government and the suspected patients among the wealthy businessmen were no exception, and when the Shenji Battalion led people, they were violently opposed.

But the opposition is invalid, the emperor has a will, if you obey the quarantine decision and correct the law on the spot, you must not sabotage the Beijing division to fight the epidemic because of your own selfishness.

In this operation of the Shenji Battalion, nearly 2,000 patients who refused to obey the quarantine were killed, and then these invincible figures finally lowered their heads.

The effective quarantine period of the plague is not long, basically six to seven days can be qualitated, and if there is no problem, it will be put back.

For almost a day, almost all of the confirmed and suspected patients were locked up in the quarantine area, and there were many fewer people on the streets of Jingshi.

Early the next morning, notices were posted everywhere on the streets of Jingshi, and many people went out of their homes to watch.

The general contents of the notice are as follows:

"The Liukou made a rebellion and besieged the city, the Son of Heaven was mighty, and personally led the Heavenly Army to exterminate the Liukou, and now the plague broke out in Beijing, please cooperate with the court to fight the plague.

In order to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people, the Son of Heaven opened the treasury and opened the warehouse to release grain at noon today.

This release of grain is only for the hungry homeless and ordinary people who cannot fill their stomachs, and it is forbidden to take it out of the hands of wealthy merchants and noble ministers and those who have fields and do not lack food.

If someone is found to be fraudulently claimed, no matter who the family is, the court will take back the land and property to punish the most, and I hope everyone will consciously cooperate.

The announcement is hereby made

The announcement was made by Li Banghua and others, in order to open a warehouse and release grain to relieve the people, and after research and consultation, it was reported to the emperor, and it was formed after the emperor's personal approval.

The vast majority of the people were illiterate, and although they couldn't read it, everyone gathered in front of the notice and didn't leave.

Zhu Youzhen had already considered this, and specially ordered Jinyiwei to explain to everyone.
