The Ottoman Emperor Murad IV now finally understands that he was deceived by the Russian Emperor Mikhail Romanov, this guy is too cunning, this scam is too big, but he must not let him get this benefit easily, he must make him pay enough price. Isn't Aishad still on the Molochnaya River? Let him use his enthusiasm and send an envoy to tell Al Shad that he can continue to have the title and, if he dies, pass it on to his son, but he must hold out until the Ottoman army regains the lost territory. As for Jay Gle, his rebellion caused the loss of the Crimean Khanate, which was exempt from capital punishment, but he must also continue to fight in the south of the peninsula, not surrender to the forces of the Russian Empire, and be supported by the Ottoman fleet in the Black Sea.

It can be said that Murad IV did not hesitate to confer knighthood in order to regain the lost territory, so that Governor Aishad, Grei III, and Jay Gray were nailed there like three nails, and then the subordinate state of Wallachia gathered 300,000 allied troops to start a counterattack against the Tsarist Russian Empire, and even did not hesitate to make a promise, and also united the Polish-Lithuanian kingdom, promising them to give up part of the land, the purpose of which was to take revenge on the tsarist Russian Empire.

The brutal war started here again, and for a time there were displaced people everywhere, and the Marquis of Dashun once again became the destination of the displaced people, and a large number of displaced people flocked there. In order to expand his territory, Li Hongji was also busy, painful and happy to enjoy the demographic dividend, but these did not make Li Hongji overjoyed, and he commanded his generals to increase their efforts to train troops and resettle displaced people.

Li Hongji judged that Murad IV, who had lost his mind, would not win this war, their actions were too hasty, whether it was the Kingdom of Wallachia or the Kingdom of Bulgaria, these were *, they had very little motivation to follow the Ottoman Empire to fight, and they could not stop the army of the Tsarist Empire at all, and it would be good if they did not surrender on the battlefield. The Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom and the Ottoman Empire have been at war for many years, and there is no basis for cooperation at all, and they will even betray the Ottoman Empire in order to make friends with the Tsarist Russian Empire.

Li Hongji's judgment was indeed correct, Murad IV's counterattack war lasted less than three months and suffered a complete defeat, not only did not regain the lost land, but also was robbed of a piece of land by the Tsarist Russian Empire again, the entire east bank of the lower reaches of the Dnieper River was occupied by the Tsarist Empire, 300,000 troops were defeated, and retreated to the territory of the Kingdom of Wallachia in embarrassment, and even the hearts of the people in the Kingdom of Wallachia and the Kingdom of Bulgaria were a little unstable.

However, just when the army of the Tsarist Empire was about to advance by leaps and bounds, defeat the Ottoman Empire in one fell swoop, and include the two vassal states of the Ottoman Empire, things changed again, so that the Tsarist Empire had to stop the pace of the war and go back to deal with the big trouble that had occurred.

Governor Al Ash and Grei III responded to the call of Murad IV on the banks of the Morokinaya River and participated in the war against the Russian Empire, for which they did not hesitate to sign an armistice with Li Hongji, who was going to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so he agreed not to attack during their war, so that they could go to war with confidence.

The hapless Governor of Eishad and Grei III once again made a mistake in judgment, and when they fought hard, the fools on the Western Front failed, and the promised flanks came to naught, and their little defeat was not enough for the Cossack cavalry to strike a blow, and in the end only more than 20,000 people were left to the Cossack cavalry camp in Zaporozhye on the banks of the Dnieper, trying to make a final struggle, but they failed again.

The defeated Governor of Echard completely cut off all hope of survival, and the loss of his homeland, Grei III, went completely mad, and decided to die with the people of the Tsarist Empire, even if I die, you don't think about it. Before they died, they threw countless corpses of soldiers, horses, cattle and sheep into the Dnieper, causing a widespread plague epidemic.

When the nomadic tribes of the steppe have a war, this is the last dying means of the tribe that will be extinct, the plague is a double-edged sword, why the power of the steppe nomads will rise and fall, this plague tactics are the culprit, every time the grassland plague occurs, a large number of people will die, and even a large area of no man's land, the people of this era have very little ability to prevent and cure the plague, it can be said that there is basically no resistance, and can only wait until the plague disappears naturally.

However, the speed of the grassland plague is very fast, whether it is the birds in the sky, or the cattle, sheep, wild horses on the ground, as well as the carnivorous grassland wolves and foxes, they are also the source of infection, and it is impossible to estimate where they will run there. The terrible plague of the savannah made the nomadic people talk about it and wander around blindly to avoid it, and as a result, more places were infected and more people died.

The plague spread and caused heavy losses to the Tsarist Empire, and they had to temporarily stop the pace of marching, and the army did not dare to pass through the epidemic area, and supplies could not be sent to the front line, so the war was stopped by the plague, and the Ottoman Empire got a chance to breathe, at the cost of countless deaths of the population, this is the cruelty of war.

The spread of this plague also affected the Marquis of Dashun, because of the influx of a large number of war refugees, Li Hongji had already made certain mental preparations for the spread of the plague, and did not cause too many losses to the Marquis of Dashun, but gave Li Hongji a chance to expand his territory again.

In the military academy of the Ming Dynasty, there is such a plague prevention course, Zhu Youxiao from later generations has a certain understanding of the plague tactics of the grassland tribes, he loves to read, no matter what kind of books, he can read with relish. He got the fact that the nomads would launch a plague war from the book, whether it was the Jurchens or the Mongols, these were steppe nomads, Zhu Youxiao would naturally teach this method of preventing plague in the military academy, and ordinary officers knew the theory of prevention, but this did not happen in the Ming Dynasty.

When Li Hongji's intelligence officers discovered that Governor Aishad and the soldiers of Grei III had dumped a large number of corpses into the Dnieper, they immediately sent the information to Li Hongji, and Li Hongji and his staff officers immediately began to prevent the outbreak of the plague.

There are good hygiene habits in the Ming army, and Zhu Youxiao emphasized these things from the beginning of teaching plague courses in the military academy, so the soldiers never drink raw water, if the conditions do not allow it, they must also filter the water before drinking, which is the final health bottom line.

The simplest cleaning materials equipped with the Ming army are alum, and then a certain amount of quicklime, the cost of alum is relatively high, and quicklime can be found everywhere, in the Ming Dynasty quicklime is the most common building material, as long as there is limestone, will burn quicklime, even in the Ming army, there are many soldiers who understand these basic common sense, will burn quicklime.

Now that the plague is about to happen, the Marquis of Dashun naturally has to prepare a large amount of quicklime to prevent environmental hygiene. Beginning on the eastern bank of the Molochnaya River, a large amount of quicklime was sprinkled around each barracks, and it was necessary to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, and then to protect the inhabitants from the plague around the settlements. Prevention is the most important thing for the spread of the plague, and if a plague occurs, it will be very troublesome and will definitely have to pay a lot of money.

The first is to spray a large amount of quicklime in key areas to minimize the occurrence of the plague, and secondly, it requires residents to drink boiled water, and no one is allowed to use raw water in the wild, and there is also the need to wash hands before and after meals, and must be absorbed with soap, for which Li Hongji did not hesitate to distribute a large amount of soap free of charge, and then implemented martial law, divided the territory into different levels of prevention areas, and adopted various levels of prevention methods to prevent the occurrence of the plague as much as possible.

At the border with the plague area, Li Hongji has established a large number of isolation points, and these isolation points have the highest level of prevention measures, whether it is group health safety or personal health safety, it is the highest level of prevention. Newly displaced people must live in quarantine sites and be observed for a certain period of time before they can enter ordinary settlements.

In terms of the use of medicines, the Marquis of Dashun transferred a large number of Chinese medicinal materials, such as honeysuckle, banyan root, dandelion, realgar, sulfur, etc., in addition to drinking traditional Chinese medicine preparations for prevention, but also used traditional Chinese medicine to fumigate the living environment.

The preventive measures of the Marquis of Dashun played an obvious role, except for a few cases of infectious diseases in the border quarantine area, the settlements did not occur under strict preventive measures, and survived the epidemic of the plague safely, so that all the people felt the safety of the Ming Dynasty.
