"Are we going to get involved? As long as I, Doctor Datang, intervene to treat those patients, it will inevitably make these Xiyi people who are waiting to die die to me Datang, and it will be easier to control this place in the future. ”

Liu Renliang didn't go out now, so he stayed in the camp. After receiving these news from outside, he ran over to find Li Hao. Because Datang can cure this plague and prevent it, he came to Li Hao with this idea to discuss, hoping that Tang Jun can go out to save people.

"No! The hearts of the people here are not as good as you think, and you don't forget that there is a pope here. Although the other side does not unite this side, it rules them spiritually. Let the missionaries of the Tang Dynasty intervene first, and save the young women and the poor first. All those who are rescued must believe in our Tang State Religion, and if they don't follow, they won't be saved! ”

To tell the truth, seeing the miserable situation outside, Li Hao didn't want to save these people, but he had to think about the entire Datang and the people of Datang. If he is a little careless, it is very likely that he will save a hungry wolf for Datang, so although the appearance here is already very miserable, Li Hao still has no intention of making a move.

His vaccines and prescriptions were all exchanged from the system for a fee, and more than half of his points were removed at one time, which is not a low price. You must know that the points in Li Hao's hand, even if you have money, you can't buy them, you can only accumulate them slowly through the system, how can you spend them casually?

In order to stop the spread of the plague, the people outside were going all out, and no one noticed the movements on the side of the Tang army. The houses of the dead were sealed, and no one dared to step into them. However, the plague continued to spread like a flood of beasts, and then it spread to the surrounding villages, and no one was able to escape it.

The people outside began to believe that the plague was God's punishment and that humanity was powerless to fight against it. Every evening, someone pushes a wheelbarrow and shakes a bell in his hand and shouts: "Collect the dead body, collect the dead body", so every household will carry the body of the deceased out, put it on the car, and push it outside the city to be burned. There is no intention of sending the dead to church for funerals, and in fact many pastors have died.

On the day the victim became ill, blisters and boils appeared on his arms, thighs and neck. They were so weak and tortured that they could only lean against their beds. Soon, the boil became the size of a walnut and then the size of an egg or goose egg, and the sensation was heart-wrenching. The illness lasted for three days, and on the fourth day, another lonely soul ascended to heaven.

In the face of this terrible plague, people fell into deep fear. It was as if they were witnessing the end of the world, where God was punishing all the sins of the earth. Pious people are praying to God: "O merciful God, appease your anger and do not destroy all the people of the world in this way, and do not allow the righteous to be condemned along with the evil."

The vast majority of people have come to believe that hell is coming to earth. Hundreds of people die every day, and that's when missionaries from the Tang Dynasty appeared, and they held a farewell ceremony for the deceased. But this ritual is no longer performed only for a single deceased, but in front of piles of corpses.

Hundreds of corpses were buried at each burial, in a plague pit outside the city. As the number of victims continued to increase, there were no more empty underground pits to bury, and the bodies were thrown at will. The body was left unattended in his own home, and the priest, the deceased's son, father and relatives were afraid to enter the room.

also had to treat those people, Li Hao's request was thoroughly implemented, and the missionaries of the Tang Dynasty became famous here. As for God, in the face of death, God has been forgotten.

In fact, Li Hao's place where they stayed was not the only place where the Black Death occurred. In northern Italy, the plague had also reached Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, along the Black Sea shipping lanes of Italian merchants. The two famous commercial cities of Genoa and Venice were also the targets of the plague.

Given that Genoa and Venice have been hit hard by the plague, emergency quarantine measures have been introduced throughout Italy to prevent citizens from entering the country. It is said that a Genoese went to Piacenza to see his relatives, and it was raining heavily, and the people of the city would not let him in, so he had to cry and plead outside in the rain.

When it got dark, his relatives finally couldn't take it anymore and secretly opened the city gates and took him home for the night. The next morning, the relative went out into the street again. As a result, a few days later, there were no living people in the city of Piacenza. In this way, within a few weeks, Milan, Turin, Verona, Florence and other prosperous and wealthy cities were hit by the plague.

Everywhere he went, food was scarce, prices were skyrocketing, morals were ruined, families were broken, churches were broken, governments were disintegrating, and the end of the world was imminent. The Black Death struck Italy, and was in a state of panic.

It has been found that once anyone is infected, there is almost no possibility of recovery, and the speed of transmission is so rapid that it seems that one person is enough to spread the whole world. In a state of panic, they even boarded up the doors and windows of the sick who were still alive, and eventually starved them to death inside.

Because of the fear in people's hearts, siblings, uncles and nephews, husbands and wives abandon each other, and even worse, parents abandon their children without care. People are abandoning the sick and losing their possessions in order to save themselves. Others form small communities and live in complete isolation from the outside world.

They shut themselves up in houses without sick people, ate the best food and drank the best wine in moderation, avoided contact with anyone, and cut off any news or discussion of death and disease. Others do the opposite. They believed that having fun in time would help protect against the Black Death. So, from tavern to tavern, they drank and sang songs, and had fun, and they were reluctant to give up day and night.

Sometimes they also break into other people's houses in search of a thrill to the senses. Because many people at the time abandoned their homes and property, they were condoned to do so. As a result, many premises have become public property, and these people use other people's belongings as if they were their own.

Administrators and the judiciary have all but disappeared because, like everyone else, they either die or get sick, or simply close themselves and their families off and neglect their duties. Most commonly, however, large numbers of people abandon their cities, homes, residences, relatives, and possessions, and flee abroad or at least to the countryside. As everyone knows, this behavior further contributed to the spread of the plague. Soon, the spectre of the Black Death floated throughout Europe.

While ravaging Italy, the Black Death did not spare any corner of Europe, and even extended its claws to Europe's close neighbors, the Middle East and North Africa. It swept through Spain, Greece, Italy, France, Syria, Egypt, and Palestine in three directions.

The western route, which was brought into the Iberian Peninsula by a pilgrim returning to Santiago from Palestine, was particularly deplorable in southwestern Spain, killing more than 30,000 people in Mallorca alone. Northwest Road: Heading north through Bordeaux into the plains of north-western France, the population of the city-state of Flanders was reduced by a fifth, including Calais, which had just been occupied by England.

Northeast Road: Introduced to the Holy Roman Empire via Austria, 12,000 died in Erfurt, 11,000 in Münster, and 6,000 in Mainz, all equivalent to more than a third of their total citizens at the time. What is even more frightening is that the plague is spreading faster and faster in Europe, probably due to the gradual increase in population density.

By the end of the year, the entire European continent was spared. At this time, only the British Isles and Scandinavia, which were blocked by the English Channel, could temporarily survive and survive. However, the English were not long in rejoicing, and the Black Death suddenly entered the Channel Islands from the Calais region of France.

Upon hearing the report, the terrified King of England heeded the advice of the royal physician and ordered a ban on fishing throughout the country. But even this could not stop the invasion of the plague. Soon, the Black Death spread to Great Britain at an unprecedented rate, and spread rapidly throughout England, even to the smallest villages. In rural England, the labour force was greatly reduced, and in some estates, tenant farmers died altogether.

And the situation in the city is even worse because of the dense population. Only 30,000 of London's original 50,000 inhabitants remained, and the permanent population of Norwich, England's second-largest city at the time, plummeted from 12,000 to 7,000.

The traditionally safe Nordic is no exception. A British merchant ship crossed the ocean and brought the Black Death to Scandinavia, while the Hanseatic Merchant League, which controlled the Baltic coast at the time, spread it to Germany and northern Poland in eastern Europe.

Even more incredibly, even Greenland in the Arctic Circle has suffered as a result: none of the local residents who have been struggling in the snow and ice for a long time have survived without the routine supplies sent by the continent.

In this way, almost every corner of Europe was wiped out by the Black Death, and no one could escape the threat of death wherever the plague went, regardless of class or class. The numbers are shocking evidence of this cruelty.

In Marseille, France, 56,000 people died from the spread of the plague; In Perpignan, only one of the city's eight doctors survived; The situation was even worse in Avignon, where 7,000 houses were left empty by the plague; A church in Paris issued 419 wills in nine months, a 40-fold increase from before the outbreak of the plague. In Belgium, the bishop became the first victim of the plague.

As soon as the Black Death spread to the heart of Germany and Austria, thousands of lives were consumed. Vienna once killed 960 people in a single day, and a third of the German clergy were killed, leaving many churches and monasteries unsustainable.
