Chapter 963

Qin Huaidao and they just arrived in Yangzhou, so they sent people to Yangzhou City, hoping to start treatment, and now Qin Huaidao has also brought a lot of vaccines. The soldiers on Qin Huaidao's side went to Yangzhou and began to shout, but after shouting, they found that there was no movement at all.

The major who followed Qin Huaidao before also felt very strange, and of course he had a bad premonition in his heart, because on the way here, they had cleaned up a lot of corpses, all of which died directly on the road, and even after entering the village, they also helped bury many people.

The major continued to call the door, but there was still no one in the city to answer, the major had no choice but to send someone back to report to Qin Huaidao, Qin Huaidao was also surprised when he learned about it,

There are more than 50,000 people in Yangzhou City, and the entire Yangzhou Mansion has a population of more than 400,000 people.

"Grandpa Guo, there is no movement, we have been shouting for a while, we have just gone to the east gate to shout, and there is no one!" The major said to Qin Huaidao.

"It's impossible to have no one, it's impossible, find a way to go up and open the city gates!" Qin Huaidao said to the major,

The major looked at the city wall and said a little embarrassed: "Grandpa Guo, we didn't bring those siege equipment, if we did, it would be possible to go in, but now, how to get in?" ”

Qin Huaidao is also standing outside thinking of a way, now no one knows how many people are in Yangzhou City, but Qin Huaidao knows in his heart that it is estimated that there are not many people, otherwise, he would not say that he has been shouting for so long, and there is no movement! It has been almost 2 months since the smallpox outbreak to the present, and Qin Huaidao knows that maybe, there are really not many of them.

"I burned the city gates with fire, now go and get firewood, and burn the city gates!" Qin Huaidao shouted at the major, and the major immediately commanded someone to get firewood, and now, the weather is also very hot, Qin Huaidao They are standing here, just waiting.

"It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense at all, if there is really no one, then, there will definitely be a smell of in the city, it's a southeast wind now, we are in the downwind, and we don't smell the smell!" Qin Huaidao stood there and said to the major.

"That's the way it is, but it's summer, and if they all die for more than half a month, perhaps, the corpses have already turned into bones!" The major looked at Qin Huaidao worriedly and said,

Qin Huaidao heard it, shook his head and said, "Impossible, let's burn it first!" ”

At this time, the city gate was already burning, and it burned for almost an hour before those soldiers smashed the door with wood, and then Qin Huaidao and they went in and opened the city gate, and in the street, it can be said that there was no one left, but there were no corpses.

"Let's see if there's anyone alive!" Qin Huaidao shouted to those soldiers, those soldiers also rode horses and began to inspect, and Qin Huaidao also rode to the middle of the city, where the official mansion was located, Qin Huaidao arrived at the official mansion and found that the official mansion was also closed at the door,

Qin Huaidao asked the soldiers to knock on the door, but there was no movement, the soldiers could only ** go in, open the door, and when they arrived at the official mansion, they found that there was already a layer of dust on the table, Qin Huaidao then began to inspect the back of the official mansion, where half of the Yin family of Yangzhou Mansion lived, and when they got inside, it was also empty.

"This, it looks like no one has lived for a long time!" The major said to Qin Huaidao, and Qin Huaidao also felt very strange.

"Grandpa Guo, Grandpa Guo, I have found the people!" At this time, a soldier ran over and shouted at Qin Huaidao, as soon as Qin Huaidao heard it, he immediately ran outside, and when he got outside, he found two soldiers standing outside the gate of the official mansion with a few people, who were very dirty, and their beards had not been tied, and at the same time, they looked at Qin Huaidao very timidly.

"Fellow, don't be afraid, we are the people of the court! Here, here, people, all? Qin Huaidao went over to appease those few people.

"The people of the court? Someone from the court? The one who looked at the older one asked Qin Huaidao.

"Yes, we came to save you, and the court sent someone to save you!" Qin Huaidao nodded and said.

"Haha, hahaha, folks, someone is coming to the court, someone is coming to the court!" The old man shouted loudly, Qin Huaidao didn't know whether he was happy or angry, but looking at those people with a very complicated mood, Qin Huaidao knew that he was too late.

"It's been two months, 65 days, and finally it's been coming, we thought that the court had forgotten us and forgotten Yangzhou!" That person was still crying and shouting, Qin Huaidao and the other soldiers were looking at him,

At this moment, some of the doors facing the street opened, and out of them came many people, all dirty, and their hair and beards were not tied, and they were standing in the doorway.

"There are still people, there are still people!" The major said to Qin Huaidao very excitedly, Qin Huaidao was also very excited, and he looked at it a lot!

"Quick, get the vaccine, ask them if they have had smallpox before, and if not, get vaccinated!" Qin Huaidao said to the people around him, and then Qin Huaidao went to that person's side.

"I'm sorry for you, we want to know the current situation in Yangzhou, and what about the officials in Yangzhou, where have they gone now?" Qin Huaidao asked the old man.

"Dead, all dead, all the officials dead, so did the soldiers! Woo, dead! The old man began to cry as he spoke.

"What, all dead?" Qin Huaidao looked at the old man in shock at the moment, he thought that he could leave one or two, otherwise, how could he maintain order here in Yangzhou, but now, the old man actually said that they were all dead.

Then the people around Qin Huaidao began to inquire about the situation in Yangzhou, and after summarizing,

Qin Huaidao learned that as early as more than 40 days ago, a large number of people in Yangzhou were infected, Yangzhou Mansion Yin was also infected, and his family members were also infected, in order to save the lives of those people, he ordered to open the granary, give all the official grain to the people in Yangzhou City, and let those soldiers go to the door of each family, telling them that they are not allowed to go out unless they have eaten the food.

If it is infected with smallpox, then it will live in a separate room, if it is dead, it will be buried in the open space of the house, or it will find a way to get to the door, and someone will collect the corpse, and it was the soldiers who went to collect the corpse at the beginning, and slowly most of those soldiers died, and the remaining ones were infected, but the ones who carried it down were still doing the thing of disposing of the corpses.

And it is said that the last official in Yangzhou died more than 20 days ago, and those who stayed in the city were all ordinary people, Qin Huaidao was sitting on the steps of Yangzhou Mansion at the moment, and his heart was very depressed, he didn't expect that Yangzhou would be so miserable,

Now, on Qin Huaidao's side, there are those soldiers in Yangzhou, and the list of corpses sent out every day, they alone have sent out more than 12,000 people, and a large number of corpses are buried at home by the people.

"Grandpa Guo, now we are vaccinating them, and we have found that many people infected with smallpox are also injecting them with plasma!" The major's voice was hoarse and came to Qin Huaidao's side.

"Okay, pull me!" Qin Huaidao said to the major, the major immediately pulled Qin Huaidao to stand up, Qin Huaidao also stumbled towards the official mansion, and the soldiers behind him were about to help Qin Huaidao, Qin Huaidao did not let them hold on, but went to the official mansion lobby, knelt down in front of the vacant position, and kowtowed three heads to the top.

"Grandpa Guo!" The major and the other officers didn't know what Qin Huaidao meant.

"Yangzhou Mansion Yin Yu Zhiqing Lord has been famous for eternity!" Qin Huaidao shouted loudly, and burst into tears when he stood up.

"Grandpa Guo!" The major was also very excited and said to Qin Huaidao. "Momo, my father wants to personally ask for merit for all the officials in Yangzhou, as well as those soldiers, and my father wants to ask His Majesty to build an ancestral hall for them and build a monument of merit!" Qin Huaidao said to the major.

"Yes!" The major immediately went to look for pen and ink, there was no shortage of this in the official mansion, and soon, it was done, Qin Huaidao sat there, let the guards take out his blank recital, and began to report the situation in Yangzhou, as well as the situation of those officials in Yangzhou who dealt with the epidemic in Yangzhou before, to Li Shimin,

In the end, Qin Huaidao asked Li Shimin to build a merit monument for the officials in Yangzhou, and to build an ancestral hall for the people to worship for those who mainly have merit.

And behind the yamen, Qin Huaidao was also in the living room at the moment, lighting incense and candles, and the tablet of Yin Yu Zhiqing of Yangzhou Mansion was also enshrined on it, and his family Qin Huaidao didn't know the name, and the other officials, Qin Huaidao didn't have a list in his hand, and he needed to be provided by the ministry, so Qin Huaidao could only write his name.

"Hey, I really didn't expect that the officials of Yangzhou would be able to do this, open the granary, let the people hide at home, and admire the old man, if it weren't for him, Yangzhou would not be able to have more than 10,000 people now!" Doctor Sun sat there, touching his beard, and said with emotion.

"Yes, it is the safest to let them not go out, Lord Yu Zhiqing knew at that time that it was impossible for the court to send people over so quickly, and he could only save himself, so he opened the granary and saved more than 10,000 people, and his merits were immeasurable!" Qin Huaidao nodded, and said with a sigh from his heart, Qin Huaidao really admired Yu Zhiqing for doing this.

"Yes, the court needs to give him credit!" Doctor Sun nodded and said in agreement.
