Today, hundreds of thousands, nearly a million Indians have been infected with the plague, and Dolgon, who had just completed the annexation of the Mughal Empire, learned of this, and urgently recruited practitioners from Isfahan, and a large number of practitioners in the Mughal territory were also forcibly recruited.

Dorgon had ordered that the plague must be resolved, and he didn't want it to reach the Eight Banners.

In order to prevent the plague, Dolgon mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to blockade the plague-infected city, and drove all the infected people into the sealed city, and did not allow them to come out.

It's almost leaving the plague-stricken cities to fend for themselves.

It's messy! And it's a big mess!

Many people infected with the plague resisted in despair, but they could only be shot by bows and arrows, and after some cities were closed, the people inside could not get effective treatment, and more and more people died, and more and more people were infected with the plague, and even all of them were infected with the plague and became a dead city.

However, misfortune does not come alone!

After several years of war, the scope of the fighting was too wide, and there were too many Mughal soldiers killed and innocent Mughal civilians slaughtered by the war.

At the end of June, a third plague broke out, this time in the Mumbai area!

There had just ended the war, and there were nearly 200,000 dead soldiers and innocent people, and a large number of corpses were hastily buried and washed out in the rain, gradually forming a source of plague.

In the Mumbai area, within a radius of more than 200 miles, more than 100,000 people were quickly infected.

The panicked people, fearing that they were confined to the city to fend for themselves, ran out of the city one by one to take refuge, so that this third plague spread much faster than the first two.

"Plague! Pestilence! Dorgon gritted his teeth, grimace.

In fact, it is not uncommon in history for plagues to occur after wars.

Take the Central Plains Dynasty as an example, why every time the dynasty changes, after more than ten years of war, the original population is halved and halved again, so that the new dynasty is not even one-third of the population of the original dynasty.

In addition to those who were directly killed by the war, it was more because of the war, which caused countless refugees, barren fields, reduced grain production, and the small amount of grain produced could not feed the original large number of people, and more people died of hunger. There is also the plague, often a plague down, as little as a hundred thousand, more than a million people die.

The chaos caused by the plague was no less than the chaos of war, and it also caused hundreds of people to panic, and they had no intention of cultivating the land, and once again starved to death a large number of people. It's just that at this time, because of the outbreak of the plague, the corpses of the Violent Corpse Wilderness were disposed of carefully, so no new plague was triggered.

In the original territory of the Mughal Empire, about seventy percent of the territory was spread with plague, and if it were not for Dolgon's order to block the Indus River on the border between Persia and the Mughals, the plague might have spread into Manchu Persia.

The plague was rampant and unavoidable, and Dolgon had withdrawn most of the Manchu Eight Banners to the territory of Qing Persia on the west bank of the Indus River, but he did not return himself, and remained in the territory of the Mughal Empire, directing the conscripted healers to extinguish the plague as much as possible.

He didn't want the Mughal Empire, which he had worked so hard to build for nearly five years, to be finally destroyed by the plague, wouldn't that be a waste of hard work.

For the future of the Qing Dynasty, no matter what the cost, the plague must be extinguished.

Dolgon recruited more Persian and Indian banners to form an army to hunt down the Indian people who were infected with the plague but were running around, driving them into a fixed city, and unified care and treatment, in fact, it was still a disguised way to let those infected with the plague fend for themselves to prevent the plague from continuing to spread, after all, the plague is not so easy to treat.

Even in today's world, the medical level of Da Ming, which has always been in the leading position in the world, is also extremely difficult to deal with the plague.

In many cases, by the time the medicine for the plague is found, the area infected with the plague is almost dead.

Sealing the city infected with the plague is the most cruel and effective way to limit the continued spread of the plague, but after all, the number of infected people is too large to be sealed, and the plague is also spreading, but the speed of spread has been greatly reduced.

Dolgon fought vigorously against the plague, hoping to preserve the population of the newly conquered Mughal Empire as much as possible, and in the end, the battle against the plague lasted for five months, until winter came, the air was dry, and the climate suitable for the plague disappeared completely.

By the time the plague was completely eliminated, no less than seven million Indians had died of the plague, and hundreds of cities had become dead.

However, although the plague passed, but a year also passed, the plague rebellion, and countless Mughal people panicked, unintentionally farming, the plague just after the famine, even if Dolgon mobilized as much food and grass as possible to rescue, it was a drop in the bucket, to no avail.

When the seventeenth year of the Ming Dynasty arrived, the Mughal Empire once again had a tragedy full of corpses, and millions of people died of starvation.

A years-long war of annihilation, plague and famine caused massacres of mass corpses several times.

When India was completely calm, the population of 90 million at its peak, a vast territory of extreme prosperity and wealth, had inevitably withered, and the population had more than halved, leaving less than 37 million people.

In less than ten years, Dolgon and other Qing troops invaded, launched three large-scale wars of annihilation, and finally destroyed the huge Mughal Empire, which also caused the people of this territory to suffer heavily, and the population was reduced by 54 million, which was extremely cruel and terrifying.

Next, Dorgon continued to digest the calm India.

Although the population of India at this moment has plummeted, which is very different from Dolgon's original vision, no matter what, there is still a population of nearly 37 million, not to mention, India has a lot of arable land, and if it is well managed, it is at least an inexhaustible granary.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty, which annexed the Mughal Empire, also entered a period of recuperation, consuming this newly conquered huge territory, gradually increasing its strength, and finally reaching Dorgon's ultimate goal, confronting the Ming Dynasty, and being on an equal footing with the Ming Dynasty, and then defeating the Ming Dynasty, restoring the glory of the original Qing Dynasty and ruling the Central Plains.

It is believed that for this ultimate goal, Dolgon will not stop developing, and when he recovers his strength, he will set his sights on another powerful empire to the west of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and it will inevitably be another tiger and leopard competition.

Daming, Nanjing City.

News from all aspects of the Mughal Empire came one after another, and Zhu Ci grasped it.
