When the two sides were actively deploying troops, the surrounding generals and officers obviously felt the changes, and the most obvious of them was Wang Guangxing, the chief soldier of Yunyang.

The end of the Ming Dynasty was the era of the rise of the heroes, Wang Guangxing's three brothers were among the representatives, and his brother Wang Guangen and younger brother Wang Chang participated in the peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty in the early years, and was later recruited by the Ming Dynasty to defend Yunyang (now Yunxian County, Hubei), and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in 1645 with Xu Qiyuan, the Yunyang Fuyuan of the Ming Dynasty.

The head of the city changed the banner of the king, and the elder brother Wang Guangen was appointed as the general soldier of Xiangyang, while Wang Guangxing was appointed as the general soldier of Yunyang.

Haoge was defeated by the fourth (Sichuan), Yunyang and Xiangyang and other places The strategic position was more prominent, and the Wang brothers were self-contained, although they surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, but they only listened to the tune and did not listen to the seal, and maintained too much independence.

In April 1647, the Manchu court decided to change the semi-independent status of the Wang brothers, and in April 1647, the Manchu deceived Wang Guangen into Beijing, and used this as a threat to the Wang brothers to fully obey the Manchu court.

The brothers Wang Guangxing and Wang Chang were forced to lead their subordinates to oppose the Qing Dynasty with seven or eight thousand people, occupy the Yunyang and Xiangyang areas, and then sent envoys to Huguang to contact He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, and sent envoys to contact Yang Lin, the governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu.

Hearing the envoy's report, everyone was in trouble, of course, until the opportunity was rare, if the northern expedition was sent to control Hanzhong and Xiangyang, so as to almost cut off the Qing army's southward passage, it could quickly change the combat situation in the south.

But in recent years, the four (Sichuan) foundations have basically been hollowed out, and now there is no surplus grain in the state capitals, and the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, and nothing without food is equivalent to nothing.

After thinking about it, Yang Lin was still quite unwilling, and looked at everyone: "Everyone, send 30,000 troops, even if you don't count the consumption on the road, 2 liters of food per person per day is indispensable, and 600 quintals are indispensable.

Even if it is transported by ship, by horse-drawn cart and ox-cart, the transportation conditions have been greatly improved, and 600 quintals per day are indispensable.

I want to go to Hanzhong, can you get together a little food, even if it is two months of military rations, 36,000 quintals is enough, you can't save it. ”

Zhao Sixuan, who participated in politics, shook his head and sighed: "My lord, don't you know that in order to relieve the victims, you have distributed the 30,000 loads of military rations for emergency response.

It is now June, and at least the rice in the fields will not be harvested until August, when the food shortage can be alleviated slightly.

But before that, there was a food shortage in various places, and just last month, the adults mobilized various battalions of soldiers and horses to go into the mountains to hunt, or go into the water to fish, ostensibly to train the army, but everyone until this is just to deal with the food shortage. ”

Qian Bangqi sighed: "You guys, you didn't leave me a hand, did you?" You don't have a small treasury, do you have a little food? So I can take it out for the Northern Expedition.

Now that the Wang brothers occupy Yunyang and Xiangyang, it is a rare opportunity,"

But everyone had no surplus grain in their hands, so they had to wait until after the autumn ploughing before they could lead their troops to the expedition.

Just when everyone was helpless, disaster struck again.

CD) county commander Yang Youren stumbled over, saw Yang Lin and said, "Big, big, adult, it's a big deal." ”

Yang Lin was shocked in his heart, and said with a smile: "Yang County Order, if you have something to say slowly, the sky is falling and there is a high top, say it slowly, what is the big thing that is not good?" ”

Yang Youren shook his head again and again and said: "My lord, this morning someone said that there were a lot of dead people in the south of the city in the past two days, and the little one took the medical officer to inspect it, and the medical officer said that it was a plague, my lord, this, how is this good?" ”

The hall was amazed, and their faces turned white.

In previous lives, avian flu, mad cow disease and other illnesses made people talk about tigers, and there was a government that controlled bird flu through coercive means, but compared to bird flu, it was a small thing.

There are not many deaths from avian flu, and the plague is "a human transmission of more than 100 families, no one is exempt, a family of dozens of people, no one is the only survivor", it can be said that it is a human killer.

In medieval Europe, in order to escape from black blood, not only did it promote the Renaissance, but many people fled to the deep mountains and old forests.

Some people who study history believe that Li Zicheng was able to successfully capture Beijing, mainly because of the plague epidemic, many people in Beijing were suffering from plague at that time, and many soldiers defending the city could not stand up at all.

Since the Qing army entered Sichuan, due to the large number of killings, the corpses in various places have not been well disposed of, so these corpses have mildew and produced many germs, resulting in the generation of plague sources.

Yang Lin returned to the teacher CD), although people collected the corpses, and buried many corpses deeply, so that although the environment was slightly improved, the water source may have been polluted, coupled with the people's living difficulties, some villagers even ate some dead things, so that the plague still broke out.

Yang Lin personally took Chief Medical Officer Huang Xuemao, Deputy Chief Medical Officer He Xideng and others to discuss countermeasures.

Medical officer Luo Youxing and others talked eloquently: "My lord, the plague has been recorded in the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", calling it the five plagues, which are very easy to infect, but as long as the righteous qi is stored in the body, the evil qi of the plague cannot be invaded, so that the invasion of poisonous gas can be avoided."

Zhu Danxi, a physician of the Yuan Dynasty, "Danxi Heart Method, Volume 1, Warm Epidemic V": "The plague is common to the sick, and it is also called the epidemic of the heavens. There are three ways to govern: "It is advisable to make up, it is appropriate to disperse, and it is appropriate to descend." "By the general treatment of the plague by the method of external infection, or by the treatment of typhoid fever, or by the medicine of the evil spirit.

However, in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Mr. Wu Youke believed that there was a kind of hostility between heaven and earth, which was inhaled from the mouth and nose, inhaled by itself, and caused by infection, although the routes were different, this disease was basically the same.

If the infection is severe, the onset is immediate. If the infection is shallow, if the anger cannot defeat the righteousness, it will not be able to attack. ”

Yang Lin smiled and asked, "Gentlemen, what do you think of this plague?" ”

To Yang Lin's surprise, more than 20 medical officers in the hall expressed their opinions, some believed that it should be treated according to ordinary typhoid fever, and only a few agreed with Wu Youke's view.

Seeing that everyone was arguing, some people and others even put forward ghosts and gods, and some even said that Zhang Xianzhong didn't think that "all things and people are born in nature, and people have nothing and heaven"?

Thinking about the knowledge of infectious diseases in his previous life, it was nothing more than spreading through air, contact, blood, etc., Yang Lin still agreed with Wu Youke's angry statement, plus wasn't he fighting bird flu in his previous life?

Thinking of this, Yang Lin stood up and looked at the crowd: "Everyone, Zhang Xianzhong's words are still quite reasonable, "All things and people are born, and people have nothing and heaven", since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the heroes and strong people everywhere are insatiable, thousands of miles away, and the people work hard to support people with the things of the world, so they can't be satisfied.

There is no end to anyone's greed, otherwise, the plague epidemic is a clear proof of the disaster in the past ten years.

Many of the people here are disciples of Confucius and Mencius, and many of them are also doctors, and this ghost and god said that it is ethereal and not credible at all. If there really is any ghost heresy, then what else do you need the medical officer to do?

What else do you want us officials to do? We, the officials, are recovering justice in the world in accordance with the law, and we, the medical officers, are just hanging the pot to help the world.

If ghosts are really prevalent, then all of you medical officers have changed your careers to deceive wizards. ”

Everyone saw Yang Lin's resolute eyes, and he looked quite calm word by word, and laughed one after another.

Yang Lin smiled and said: "Everyone, you may also know that there is a big epidemic in a big disaster, whether it is a big flood or a big drought in the world, there will be a big plague in various places, and this big plague is spreading, which makes it even worse, and the people are miserable.

Why is this happening? Think about it, in the catastrophe, the dead people, animals have not been well dealt with at all, some are soaked in water, moldy and bacterial, some are exposed to the ground, maggots all over the body, not only disgusting, but also may produce a lot of anger, so that this anger spreads, it becomes a catastrophe.

Our countrymen advocate the golden mean, so although the crimes of Haoglo Hun and others are extremely heinous, I did not chop him up more than 900 times, I just tortured him a little and then beheaded him.

After each battle, I not only ask you to gather our volunteers, but also to dig deep ditches and sprinkle a thick layer of lime before burying the enemy. ”

When Luo Youxing heard this, Yang Lin obviously agreed with his point of view, and felt quite happy, and arched his hand and said: "What the adults said, it is deafening, this Wu Youke put forward the theory that anger causes plague, and the adults found the root of this anger, which is really admirable." ”

Yang Lin's face turned red and said with a smile: "Doctor Luo, don't say that, I'm a layman, and this kind of thing has to be summarized by your medical officer." Wu Youke and Wu Medical Officer proposed that there is anger between heaven and earth that is justice.

This kind of dead thing is not well handled, and the dirty mess in various places has caused this kind of anger to multiply, which is a disaster for the world. ”

Luo Youxing nodded and said, "What the adults said is quite reasonable. ”

Yang Lin nodded and said, "Everyone, this plague, all these germs are transmitted through air, moisture, and physical contact.

In order to prevent the plague, I decided:

Zhao Sixuan participated in politics and organized the production of 200,000 masks from the only cotton cloth in the city, and we discussed it together, preventing the plague is more important than fighting, and 5,000 must be made every day, all of which are boiled and floated in silverware and dried (disinfected and sterilized), and the government buys them at the price of 5 cents of silver, and then distributes them to the people for free.

The 22 counties of the CD government are divided into 22 areas of responsibility, and each area of responsibility sends a division of troops to assist in treatment, and the county governor is responsible for the prevention of plague in the area of responsibility, including the president of the county council, the general manager and a medical officer.

As long as the plague occurs, one squadron, one scribe, five officials, and three medical officers will be sent to the place, and all those who have escaped and trespassed will be punished on the spot.

In the process of preventing the plague, everyone should pay special attention to the fact that each person in the village will be given a mask for free.

The army organized the transportation of lime in the past, as long as the dirty places, dead places, and all the places that could be polluted and angry, all the lime was sprinkled.

Those who do not report the occurrence of the plague shall be beheaded by their family members and lieutenants, and those who have escaped from the plague shall be beheaded.

Medical officers must treat patients well, and family members can wear masks to visit patients from a distance of 10 meters.

The prefects and prefects of other prefectures and counties that have not had an outbreak of the plague should also take precautions, especially by preparing masks and lime, and disinfecting with lime in places where there are many dead animals and where water sources are polluted.

Don't eat raw, whether it's drinking water or eating, try to cook it and eat it.

………

In order to relieve the plague, the governor decided to appoint Luo Youxing as the deputy chief medical officer of Zheng Wupin, and all medical officers must obey the dispatch of Senator Luo, and everyone must unconditionally obey the relevant arrangements of Senator Luo.

After deciding on the strategy of preventing the plague, Yang Lin, together with Huang Xuemao, He Xideng, Luo Youxing and other medical officers, decided to select medical officers to be sent to each epidemic area and dispatch troops, so that after half a day's effort, the deployment work was completed. ”
