Chapter 1595: Blockade of Ten Mile Slope

revealed Qiu Xinggong's plot to murder him, but Fang Jun didn't have much to say.

At first, the surviving villagers were so frightened by the strength of the army that they did not dare to go out at home, but when it subsided, some of the more daring ones opened the door and came out to check on the situation. When it was confirmed that the village had been locked down because of malaria, there was little hysteria on the faces of the villagers except for cold despair.

Guanzhong has been the world's key since ancient times, the world was in turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the battles in Guanzhong were large and small, half of the population died, and almost every family had strong men die, leaving orphans, widows, old and weak, sick and disabled. Now that the orphans of that year are growing up, after that turbulent time, seeing the blood flowing like a river and a mountain of corpses, what else can not bear?

The villagers were silent at first, then silent, and then returned to their homes in despair and despair, closing the door......

The river flows slowly, surrounded by lush forests, looking at this quiet and peaceful small village at night, Fang Jun only feels a big stone pressing on his heart, and he can't breathe.

Epidemic, this is the demon that makes people talk about it in every era, and when I was born in this era, I felt the despair and helplessness when the epidemic came.

In later generations, even if it is a raging epidemic, it can be controlled through advanced transportation, communication and other means, first to control the epidemic area within a certain range, and then by the country's and even the world's most advanced scientific research institutions to carry out vaccine research.

However, in Datang, everything depends on the will of heaven......

He Zongxian was arranging for people to arrange men to impose martial law on this village, and a group of cavalry rushed over violently.

The person at the head is Li Junxian, the commander of the "Hundred Cavalry Division......

"Erlang, what happened?"

The station of the Hundred Cavalry Division is outside the Xuanwu Gate, separated by a wall from the station of the left and right camps, and Li Junxian naturally knows about the dispatch of soldiers and horses from the right camp, but at first he only thought that Fang Jun was engaged in training, and he didn't care, but just told his subordinates to follow from a distance and grasp his whereabouts.

Although he knew that it was impossible for Fang Jun to do such a thing as arson and rebellion, the duty of the Hundred Cavalry Division was to supervise the hundred officials and grasp all the information inside and outside Chang'an, and it would be a dereliction of duty to let it go.

But then the information sent back by his subordinates made Li Junxian sweat like rain......

There are actually spies lurking in Chang'an, which is more than ten miles away, and he is still ignorant!

Such a group of people are hiding near Chang'an, in case their goal is to assassinate the emperor, they will die and forgive their sins!

This alone, if there is a cruel and ungrateful emperor, it is more than enough to cut off his head......

Immediately, Li Junxian led the people to rush over.

Fang Jun waved his hand and said, "Don't be impatient, these people don't want to kill the king, it's just that someone is trying to kill someone's life." ”

In this way, the motives of acting without informing the "Hundred Riders" can be clearly explained, after all, it is reasonable to deal with it by oneself and handle it personally.

Anyway, I can't admit that I wanted to attack at first......

Li Junxian got off the horse and came to Fang Jun, and said with a wry smile: "What's the difference?" ”

Indeed, no matter what the purpose of these people is, it would be a dereliction of duty for him to be able to lurk near Chang'an and escape his eyes. Fortunately, it was discovered early, if these people were to be launched, no matter what the goal was, Li Junxian was afraid that he would not be able to escape the crime.

Fang Jun's face was heavy, he looked at the closed doors around him, and sighed, "Is there anything more serious than this......"

The news of the malaria infection in this village was revealed.

Li Junxian suddenly changed color, and lost his voice, "Malaria?!" ”

He knew the dangers of malaria too well, but he had heard that there were several people infected with malaria in Guanzhong, but they were all in the mountains north of Yunyang, but he never thought that it was imminent!

Once malaria ravages Chang'an, it will be far more harmful than a team of assassins!

Fang Jun dusted off the dust on his body and said, "Okay, since the general is here, then everything here will be handed over to the general, and I will return to the barracks with my brothers." ”

Regardless of whether he can get a confession unfavorable to Qiu Xinggong from these "captives", this matter is not something that he Fang Jun can handle without authorization, otherwise he is likely to be beaten upside down and fall into passivity. As for the blockade of this village, it should be the responsibility of Jingzhao Mansion, and it is still not under the jurisdiction of Fang Jun, Li Junxian will take over first, and then transfer it to Jingzhao Mansion.

The right camp behaved very scum today, and many soldiers were killed or wounded, and they will inevitably have to live well after they go back, but there is no need to stabilize the morale of the army, the roots are rotten, and this unit must change its blood in a big way......

Li Junxian didn't want to take over, if he knew about this group of lurking soldiers in advance, he would naturally be duty-bound to go out to exterminate them as soon as possible, but now that he has been captured, it is a matter of Dali Temple or the Criminal Department.

He didn't care if things would be bad for him, but he hoped that he would make some innocuous mistakes without harming his life and his family, and that would be the best thing if the emperor was dissatisfied with him and removed from office.

The position of the commander of the "Hundred Cavalry Division" is a fire kang, and if you are not careful, it will be difficult to end well......

As for the blockade of the village, it is not his duty, and he has no experience.

But after Fang Jun finished speaking, he patted his ass and ran away with the soldiers of the right camp under his hands, not giving him a chance to refuse at all.

Li Junxian smiled bitterly, so he had to order the village to be sealed off, and then while asking the emperor for instructions on what to do with these "assassins", he sent a letter to Jingzhao Mansion, asking them to quickly appoint officials experienced in dealing with the plague to take over.

The most important thing is that the information about the malaria outbreak here must not be disseminated, otherwise the people's hearts will be turbulent and Gyeonggi will be unstable......

Turning back and walking halfway, Fang Jun ordered He Zongxian to take the troops back to the barracks first, count the casualty records and pension list to reassure people, and wait for him to sign the document tomorrow to be officially executed, and he himself went to the Foundry Bureau instead.

Malaria is too terrible, in his previous life, Fang Jun only heard on the Internet or TV that there was often a plague outbreak in Africa, although many places in the Celestial Empire are not as good as developed countries, but the unified order of the regime prohibits, and there is a super level of prevention and control of such events. The plague that he personally experienced that swept many countries around the world, and the Celestial Empire was able to achieve the minimum price under the conditions of medical facilities, social security, etc., which did not cause too serious an intuitive impression on Fang Jun.

But if a plague of that scale hits the Tang Dynasty, it may be like the Black Death raging in the Middle Ages in Europe, where ten rooms and nine blank bones cover the wilderness, and extinction is possible......

Therefore, at present, Sun Simiao's research and development of artemisinin has become the top priority.

The Foundry Bureau is located in the south of Kunming, not far from Shilipo, when Fang Jun arrived, although it was close to the time, the construction site of the entire Foundry Bureau was silent, but only the courtyard allocated to Sun Simiao to develop artemisinin was brightly lit.

According to Liu Zheng, in order to develop artemisinin as soon as possible to save the world, Sun Simiao has been working tirelessly for several days......

The characters who have been exemplary through the ages do have their own merits.

There were guards sent by the Ministry of War at the door, and when he saw Fang Jun, he naturally didn't dare to stop him and let him in.

Sun Simiao was wearing a Taoist robe, and was directing people in the courtyard to place medicinal herbs in a large cauldron, and the cauldron was on one of the dozen or so pots and stoves that were lined up in the courtyard, the fire was blazing, and the water in the cauldron was steaming.

Seeing Fang Jun coming, Sun Simiao suddenly glared and said, "What are you doing here?" Hurry up, hurry up, go away! ”

Lao Dao's eyes are a little red, but his spirit is actually good.

Fang Jun was puzzled, it was just a drug, not a biological weapon, and no one should enter?

Sun Simiao came up and pulled him away, and said as he walked, "The house over there is full of patients who have been suffering from malaria and have not been dying for a long time, and they have come to treat them in the name of the old way, so they can just test the dosage and formula of Artemisia annua...... Although the quarantine is very strict, I am afraid of what happens. You kid doesn't understand pharmacology, it's too dangerous to stay here, in case you get malaria, how can you bear it? ”

It turned out to be an experimental patient......

Fang Jun is as good as a stream, this is really not a place to stay for a long time, just after taking a few steps, he heard someone behind him crying and howling, "Erlang!" Jiro! You're my grandfather! Please, let the little ones go, the little ones don't need money, they don't want anything, I'm really not sick......"

Fang Jun looked back in amazement, only to see that at the door of a room, the young man he had sent for treatment before was holding the door frame with both hands, crying loudly and not letting go, and behind him was a man dressed as Lang Zhong who dragged him into the room......
