Khmelnitsky did not surrender, but drew his saber and rushed to the Ming cavalry.

Everyone else can surrender, but they can't surrender, and the Ming Empire can't let itself surrender as long as they live, which is an unstable factor for the Ming Empire, and the Cossacks who surrender have the possibility of making trouble.

Dead is not as good as a dog, which is probably the truest portrayal of Khmelnitsky.

Amin, who was sitting on his horse and observing the battlefield, couldn't help but sigh and said, "If the Cossack cavalry alone can cross Europe, it will be too boring. ”

Zuo Duan smiled and said: "It's boring, it's boring, but it's trouble-free, at least the casualties of the soldiers are much less, isn't it?" It's better to take all the Europa without bloodshed, and let the barbarians come to work as laborers. ”

However, Zuo Duan soon couldn't be happy, and the same people who couldn't be happy were Amin and Meng Xianglin, Wan Yanli and others, or the entire army that came out of the Ming Dynasty was not happy, and the entire army began to shift from offensive to overall defense.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen also began to have egg pain.

The soldiers of the two banners of the blue flag and the blue flag carried by Amin, plus the soldiers brought by Meng Xianglin and Wan Yanli, were unwell in large numbers.

In this case, let alone continuing to advance towards Moscow, it is already quite unexpected that the entire army can still maintain its defensive capability!

At night, the capital is like a giant beast entrenched on the earth, with a faint coercion, suppressing the whole world, but the bright lights and the flow of people are mixed with vitality in this majesty.

The cabinet is also brightly lit, and not only a few auxiliary ministers and bigwigs in the cabinet, but also the head of the Eight Books and the Tai Hospital, as well as several big leaders of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies have gathered in the Wenyuan Pavilion where the cabinet is located.

After rubbing his forehead, Emperor Chongzhen said, "Let's talk about it, what should I do now?" Should we withdraw our troops or let them stay where they were? Also, what about the north and northeast sides, and England side? Has a similar situation occurred? ”

Zhang Zhiji bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the situation in England is much better than that of Amin, including those places in the north and northeast, and there is no situation on Amin's side.

Judging by the current situation, it should be that Amin and his people are not very comfortable in Western Siberia, so there will be a large-scale outbreak. ”

Tai Hospital Yuan Zheng Ning Xian shook his head and said: "It should not only be because of the discomfort, but more because of those barbarians." ”

Hong Chengchou frowned and said, "That can't be said." In the years under my Ministry of Railways, there have been tens of thousands of barbarian laborers who have died, and there have been no problems with so many laborers. ”

Ning Xian shook his head and said, "It's a big difference, it's a big difference." Those laborers were transported to Daming from outside, and those who were not strong enough were probably thrown into the sea long ago, and where could they come to Daming alive.

Even if the soldiers who transported the world were infected, there were enough doctors to treat them after arriving in the Ming Dynasty, and there would be no big problems.

When His Majesty went on an expedition to England, it was not without these problems, but His Majesty did not feel it because he was in good health, and there were many doctors with him, so there were no problems in the army.

Now the soldiers with the blue flag and the blue flag under Amin's command, as well as the good sons of the good family who captured the laborers, are now running to the barbarians in a swarm, and there are not enough doctors with them, so it is inevitable that this will happen. ”

Zhang Zhiji hesitated: "Then according to the meaning of the Tai Hospital, do you want them to come back or let them stay in place?" And then send more doctors? ”

Ning Xian said: "It must be to let them be stationed in place, and it is best to disperse the garrison, and then the Tai Hospital will send some more doctors over in conjunction with the Medical College to see how to deal with it." ”

Zhang Zhiji bowed down to Emperor Chongzhen again and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to send some more people to meet them?" Just because they are there, if the barbarians have an army to attack in the future, they are only afraid of ......"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Transfer the two guards over, garrison them farther away, and try to bring more supplies." ”

There is a vague saying in later generations that the extinction of the Indians is not only the mass hunting of the barbarians who found the Americas, but also the viruses brought by the European barbarians, and the Indians are not adapted to those viruses, so they are completely cool in the end.

In retrospect, this statement is not entirely true, but it is partly true.

As for why the barbarians who came to Daming, such as the Dutch who ran to Daliuqiu, the Portuguese in Macau, and the laborers who were captured, the virus on their bodies did not cause any waves in Daming, it can only be said that the ancestors blessed.

In general, the people of the Ming Dynasty are rich enough (compared to the European barbarians), and the Ming Dynasty has enough doctors and excellent medical skills (it is more reliable than the barber's bloodletting), and under such good conditions, there will naturally be no messy situation in Europe.

As for the wave of Emperor Chongzhen's run to Europe, there are no problems, after all, it is the emperor who travels, and the doctors and troops he brings with him are almost the top batch of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not easy to have problems.

The most important reason is the word hygiene.

To take the simplest example, Da Ming can find a place at random, find a small village at will, it is unlikely that you will see those yellow and white things everywhere in front of the house and behind the house, and even the garbage will not see much After all, in addition to living by yourself, there are neighbors, if you don't want to be pointed at behind your back, it is better to be clean.

However, in Europe at this time, not to mention villages and the like, even those nobles who lived in castles, casually skimming large strips can be seen everywhere, especially Paris, the city that burned a nunnery, and is also known as the city of romance, is actually a Xiang city......

Since the time of the Roman Empire, the residents of European cities have liked to dump feces and urine directly from the windows, but during the Roman Empire, there were special cleaning personnel, and residents generally bathed, so it was better than later Europe.

But in medieval Europe, there were no special sweepers, and layers of feces and urine were poured on the streets and in the rivers of the city......

Even England, which had exchanged numerous fights with France, was not much better.

It is true that England was an early adopter of public latrines and sewers, but they drained excrement directly into the rivers that flow through the city. Then the tiny river soon began to slowly start silting up due to too much dropping......

London's Fleet River, for example, collected manure for centuries, and when the river finally stopped flowing, it became Fleet Street.

Just like Lu Xun said, there was originally no road in this world, and it became a road when there were many people walking, so those Xiang in Europe were basically trampled on by people......

In 17th-century Paris, citizens were not allowed to dump filth from the upper floors during the day, only at night, but they had to shout "pay attention to urine" before dumping to prevent unnecessary public security disputes......

In the more ancient medieval era, it could be dumped at will during the day and night, and whether it would squeak to remind passers-by before dumping feces and urine depended on the quality and mood of the citizen.

The city of Paris has completely become one with the filth, the city wall is Xiangcheng, the ground is Xiangdi, and it may be cleaned up when there is a big change in the middle, but the general development process is like this.

On the edge of the market in almost every city, there is a dirty street that has formed spontaneously, such as Squatting Street, Thatched House Alley, etc., and those who come to the market to shop in the open air on the street, even saving urinals and dung pits.

In Troyes, for example, in the south of France, the street of "public toilets" is called Rue de la Wood, and it is unfortunately close to the town hall.

Judges in the stench-plagued city of Troyes have tried to legislate to ban people from using Wood Street as open-air toilets, only to spark a popular riot.

A delegation led by a weaver immediately went to the town hall to protest against the judges' violation of basic human rights! A spokesman for the delegation claimed: "Our fathers raked there, and now I am raking there, and my children will go there to rake!" ”

In the end, the anxious judges had to admit that the citizens of Troyes had a natural right to defecate in the open!

The barbarians in Europe did not do their best to solve the hygiene, but in some places they showed enough cleverness, for example, the women of Xiangdu stepped on wooden shoes with thick wooden soles, ranging from more than ten centimeters to half a meter, as if walking on stilts on the street, not affected by the ground at all.

In some of the top nobles and senior priests, they naturally don't do it casually in the house like ordinary people, and it's OK to turn over the soil with a shovel when they're done, they have toilets.

In addition, it is a special toilet near the living room, and it is elegantly furnished and comfortable, and because the word toilet is somewhat indecent, it is vaguely called "private room", "comfortable place", "necessary place" or "prayer room......

Louis XIV, the great French "Sun King", in order to solve the problem of defecation everywhere in Versailles, the Louvre and the Palace of Fontainebleau, had to adopt one way, that is, to move in turns, once a month, and arrange for servants to clean another place when the nobles spoiled one place.

In short, the French after the Middle Ages and the Renaissance have always been the dirtiest and most unhygienic sloppy in all of Europe. Even in the glittering Palace of Versailles, sewers, toilets and bathrooms were not originally designed......

In this case, it is not difficult to understand why the perfume that Emperor Chongzhen asked Shaofu to toss out is so expensive and still sells well in Europe.

In addition, there is a more important reason, that is, the Europeans at this time did not have the habit of bathing, not only the romantic capital, but also all other capitals are all bird-like, and they don't bathe if they can.

During the reign of the Roman Empire, it was better to have large public bathing facilities in many cities, similar to social welfare, and even if they were luxuriously decorated, civilians could still bathe in these facilities for free or for little money.

Therefore, during the Roman Empire, the people were generally cleaner and liked to be clean, after all, the comfort after taking a bath is a natural feeling of human beings.

However, with the collapse of the Roman Empire, the European continent fell into various divisions, and not only the once prosperous public bathing facilities were destroyed, but even the pipes and boiler technology used for bathing for everyone were gradually lost, and European cities fell into a situation where there were no baths to wash.

After all, boiling water in your own home or simply jumping into the river to wash it can also make your body feel refreshed and clean.

The key lies in the Black Death.

The Black Death that swept across the continent originated from the Mongol army, the whip of God, which terrified the whole of Europe, and when they attacked the "city of Gafa", they used trebuchets to throw the corpses of rotting and diseased Mongol soldiers into the city of Gafa, leaving the Italian merchants who controlled the city into the shadow of the Black Death.

After a short time, the plague was rampant, and the Mongols, who started it, found that things had become bigger, and even their own side was affected, so they simply patted their butts and ran away.

The Mongols could run, but where could the Itali in the city of Gafa go? Everywhere are the decomposing corpses with sores and black and purple skin of the "Black Death" people, where to run?

After being infected with the Black Death, they would die in just three to five days, and those who were lucky enough not to be infected took advantage of the retreat of the Mongols and hurriedly boarded a few sailing ships, wanting to return to their homeland, but the fleas and rats that spread the Black Death had already climbed onto these ships with them......

By this time, the news of the Black Death in the city of Gafa had already terrified the people of the European continent, and no country dared to receive these fleets and not allow them to set foot on their own soil.

These sailing ships drifted in the Mediterranean for a long time, and some people died, most of them all dead and lonely on the sea, and the Europeans at that time called them "ghost ships".

It would be fine if all the people of these ships died at sea, but God did not seem to favor the believers in Europe.

In October 1347, the only remaining ship was in the port of Messina, Sicily, Italy, where they paid off the governor and declared that they were not infected.

The locals are not fools, and as soon as they come ashore, they quarantine the boats, and normally burn all the things on these boats, but some rats have already taken the opportunity to climb ashore along the cables.

Within a week of the ship's disembarkation, a massive outbreak of the Black Death broke out in Sicily, which spread inland and swept across Italy!

Mike, a surviving monk at the time, recorded what he saw and heard, and everyone who contracted the Black Death, the friends he had come into contact with, his relatives, and even the people who carried him to the grave, would soon be in his footsteps.

If such a situation occurs in Daming, even if there is no such institution as a medical school, doctors in Tai Hospital and all over the country will be busy like mad dogs to find ways to solve the problem.

And in Europe, where barbers work part-time doctors, and bloodletting is the main means of treatment, there is simply no other way than to pray to God.

If prayer works, what else do you need a doctor for?
