Chapter Seventy-Four: The Law of Segregation

At this time, Yang Guang heard him talk about the method of preventing and controlling the plague called "isolation", but he was overjoyed. So he hurriedly asked: "Junior General Yuwen quickly come from the speedy road, how is this 'isolation' method implemented?" ”

Yu Wenming bowed and saluted again, and Fang continued: This method of 'isolation' is actually to separate the sick from the non-sick to prevent cross-infection. As far as the current situation in Liaodong is concerned, the general suggested that the civilians and soldiers who had been confirmed to be sick should be placed east of the Liao River, and that they should not be allowed to cross the river to the west of the Liao River, so as to prevent them from escaping back to the Central Plains and causing a catastrophe. ”

And the rest of the men and soldiers who had not yet fallen ill moved to the open space on the west side of the city and set up tents, and every 10,000 men were a battalion, separated by a hundred feet, and no one was allowed to leave the camp except those who carried food and water. If you want to contact us, you will contact them with a flag or a horn. Once someone in each camp fell ill, he immediately moved out of the camp tent and moved to the big camp in Liaodong by small boat. At the same time, the water that everyone drinks, including the water used for eating and cooking, must be boiled before it can be used......"

These methods mentioned by Yu Wenming are actually the prevention and control methods adopted during the SARS epidemic in 2003, but they have been modified according to the actual situation of this era.

All the ministers looked at each other at this time, they didn't know if Yu Wenming's method worked, but they felt that it would cause a lot of inconvenience to the soldiers and people.

But at this time, Liu Wenfeng's eyes lit up, he was a specialized doctor, and he was also the chief imperial doctor in the palace, so he naturally knew very well that such a method could effectively prevent and control the spread of the plague.

He hurriedly said to Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that General Yuwen's method can be tried!" ”

"Oh? Why does Mr. Liu think so? Yang Guang asked with some surprise.

"Your Majesty, there is no better way now! Weichen was also helpless, and King Sun Yao was not in Liaodong. Let's try the method of General Yuwen. Even if it doesn't work out, it's not about the big picture. The worst result is just to withdraw the troops as scheduled according to Lord Yang's plan. As for the Liaodong military camp, as long as some propaganda envoys are sent to the army to do more pacifying work for the soldiers and people, it will definitely not lead to a mutiny. After all, everyone is afraid of the plague, as long as they say that this is to cure them, they should understand! Liu Wenfeng bowed down and said at this time.

As he spoke, he smiled at Yu Wenshu, intending to reconcile.

Yu Wenshu was stunned at first, but then reacted immediately. Liu Wenfeng is throwing an olive branch to himself. He didn't want to fall out with the chief imperial doctor, so he naturally waved his hand lightly, indicating that he didn't take the rude words he said to Yu Wenming to heart at all.

After hearing this, Yang Guang looked at Pei Ju, Pei Ju's eyes rolled, and he also felt that now only dead horses were regarded as live horse doctors. He then bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, since Mr. Liu has said so, Weichen has no opinion!" Anyway, there is no other way now, and General Yuwen's method is also a choice, as long as the order is announced, and then the generals of each battalion will know the benefits to the soldiers and the people. The soldiers and men of the battalion knew that this was to protect them from the plague, so they would not be much of a challenge! ”

"Oh well! Just do what Yu Wenming says! Li Yuan, you should take your headquarters and horses to set up a camp on the west bank of the Liao River! Yang Guang finally made up his mind at this time.

"Li Yuan obeys!" When Li Yuan heard this, he was overjoyed, so that his two sons could be saved.

"Pei Yun, you are responsible for informing all the military camps in Liaodong and posting a notice of condolence, explaining that although this action has caused them inconvenience, it is to avoid the spread of the plague, protect the healthy soldiers and civilians who are not infected, and take necessary measures to let everyone rest easy!"

"Wechen obeys!" Pei Yun also hurriedly bowed down to receive the order.

"Yu Wenming listens to orders!" Yang Guang raised his voice at this time.

"The last general!" Yu Wenming didn't expect Yang Guang to call his name, it stands to reason that with his position as a school captain, Yang Guang would not be able to give him any orders directly.

"Yu Wenming, you have made great contributions in the battle to exterminate the Goryeo sneak attack troops, and you have saved the army's grain and grass baggage convoy, but because you took the initiative to demote yourself to one level in order to atone for the sins of your subordinates, you were only promoted to captain...... I was also deeply moved by this move......" Yang Guang smiled slightly at this time.

Yu Wenming's heart was also a pang, but he didn't expect Yang Guang to know about it.

"Therefore, I will directly promote you to a partial general, and the scout group you are in will also be expanded into a brigade, and you will be the brigade commander. Together with Dr. Liu, he is responsible for controlling this plague for a period of one month, if it is not controlled after a month......" Yang Guang elongated his voice at this time.

"If the spread of the plague is not controlled, the last general will definitely come to see Your Majesty!" Yu Wenming said loudly. This made Yu Wenshu sweat for him.

But Liu Wenfeng had a sad face, because Yu Wenming had issued such a military order, he was afraid that he would not be spared at that time. I couldn't help but curse in my heart, what did Yu Wenming do when he said it like this.

"Good! The expanded personnel were transferred from the Zuoling Guard, commanded by your grandfather. Let's go in two hours! Yang Guanglang said.

"The last general will definitely live up to His Majesty's high expectations!" Yu Wenming bowed and saluted. He secretly thought in his heart that he could really be called a general now. Although he is only a partial general, at his current age, he is afraid that he is the youngest general in the whole army.

Liu Wenfeng also bowed down helplessly to receive the order, and then walked out of the big tent with Yu Wenshu and Yu Wenming. Begin to lay out the things to control the plague.

Yu Wenshu naturally won't make things difficult for his grandson, and let him choose people.

Yu Wenming was naturally not polite, so he transferred the most elite soldiers and horses from various armies, and then broke up and reorganized with the scout group under his original command.

He didn't ask for any officers, not even a gang commander, all the soldiers he wanted, and the officers were promoted by veterans in his scout regiment. He knew that only in this way could he firmly control the expanded team of 4,000 people in his own hands.

And while Yang Guang appointed him as a partial general, he also gave him the right to appoint four Yue cavalry captains. Yu Wenming naturally unceremoniously promoted his four teams: Red Sleeves, Guo Ziyi, Lin Zimo and Wei Chigong, to school captains. Commanded a regiment of four thousand.

After the reorganization was completed, Yu Wenming led the 4,000 cavalry, together with Liu Wenfeng, to the grain and grass camp.

On the way, Liu Wenfeng couldn't help but be ashamed and said: "General Yuwen, I didn't expect you to be proficient in medical skills, and this prevention and control measure called 'isolation' is too clever!" Let the old man be ashamed! ”

"Lord Liu, I also listened to the method taught by the divine doctor of Youfang, but I felt that it should work, so I took the risk to bring it up in front of Your Majesty. Now in front of Lord Liu, it is the class that has an axe, which makes Lord Liu laugh! Yu Wenming hurriedly said modestly.

"Where, where! I just don't know where this miracle doctor is, and who is his name? Such a miracle doctor with medical skills is actually only doing You Fang Langzhong, which is really too condescending! Liu really wants to meet this miracle doctor! When Liu Wenfeng heard this, he was immediately interested.

Alas, at that time, he also asked the name and residence of this miracle doctor, but he resolutely refused to reveal it, saying that he only wanted to travel all over the world and did not want to be bound by worldly things. I had no choice but to let him go! Yu Wenming sighed.

"It seems that the thoughts of these enlightened people have indeed long been out of the mortal world, and the same was true of Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, who was able to insist on exploring medical skills without being tempted by the official position, but unfortunately we still can't get rid of the shackles of the world!" Liu Wenfeng said with emotion.

After a while, he asked eagerly, "Little General Yuwen, the divine doctor you mentioned is any medical books or prescriptions left?" ”

Yu Wenming couldn't help but laugh secretly, he casually said a "You Fang Divine Doctor", and the chief imperial doctor took it seriously. It's just that when Liu Wenfeng asked like this, he suddenly remembered that he was now in the plague period, but it seemed that there were no masks in this era. If all sergeants and doctors who come into contact with the sick wear masks, wouldn't that greatly reduce the chance of infection?

Yu Wenming then pretended to be a difficult to recall and said: "Lord Liu, your question reminds me of one thing, the miracle doctor seems to have told me a kind of thing, called a mask, which is made of layers of gauze, which can effectively prevent the spread of the epidemic, and at the same time, the doctor can also avoid infection when wearing it to treat patients." ”

"Oh? And such artifacts? When Liu Wenfeng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and even the red sleeves and others on the side could listen to it.

Yu Wenming then took a piece of paper and drew the shape and style of the mask to Liu Wenfeng. However, his painting skills are really not good, and the painting is crooked, but finally everyone understands what is going on.

Liu Wenfeng is not surprised, nine out of ten generals can't write, this Yu Wenming is both civil and military, I heard that the poetry is also very good, and the painting skills are almost understandable.

And after he figured out the use and production method of the mask, he was also greatly impressed, even if the tailors and craftsmen of the military camp were asked to make trial production, the required gauze and tailors could be used in the military camp.

"Oh, yes! If there are leather gloves in the warehouse, they can also be taken out for military doctors and soldiers who need to be in contact with patients from time to time. When Yu Wenming said this, he remembered that rubber gloves can effectively isolate germs. There are no rubber gloves here, but leather gloves can be used.

Liu Wenfeng was finally convinced at this time. He cocked his thumb and praised: "No wonder the little general dared to issue a military order in front of His Majesty, saying that he was confident in controlling the spread of the plague, and I also said that you are young and vigorous, and you don't know the height of the sky." Now I know that I underestimated your abilities! I'm afraid that even if Sun Yaowang is here, he may not be able to think of these measures. ”

Yu Wenming was ashamed in his heart, how could he think of these methods, they were all moved according to the epidemic prevention methods of later generations.
