On the eighth day of October in the fourth year of Daming Chongzhen, Zhang Zhang got up in the morning and deliberately flipped through the yellow calendar and wrote down this day!

Today is the first day of officially joining the plague treatment team, and Zhang Zhang came out of Lantern Street early and rushed to the county office.

In front of the gate of the county government, Zeng Yiling had already posted the official document promoting the white tiger ginseng soup. Many early risers gathered around, and a scholar dressed as a scribe was reading word for word.

After hearing this, the people quickly left, and they all went straight to the medicinal herb shop......

When the plague hit, Penglai County was already panicked, and now that the Jishi Medical Society has come forward to announce the prescription, how can the people not believe it?

Zhang Zhang came to the county hall, but saw that Liu Langzhong and Gu Langzhong had already arrived, and the two stood far away, staring at each other and not speaking. Obviously, both of them regarded each other as their great enemies when they entered the Jishi Medical Society, and they didn't look at the arrival of tension.

In the Jishi Medical Society, Doctor Song was considered to be an early come, and he was also standing in front of the hall at the moment, chatting with another doctor who arrived early together.

After waiting for about half an hour, Ip Man took Zeng Xian and Xu Yi and walked slowly into the lobby.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Ip Man glanced at everyone, and then said, "Today we are going out of the city and going deep into the epidemic area outside the city to treat the patient." Xu Yiling has prepared a carriage, and some of the various medicinal materials will be brought, and if the medicine needs to be prescribed at that time, it can be carried out on the spot. ”

Everyone looked solemn, and Ye Wentian said two words of encouragement, and then ordered to set off.

There are a total of nine people in the plague rescue team this time: Ip Mantian, Zeng Xian, and Xu Yi shared a four-horse carriage; and three other doctors from the Jishi Medical Society, including Doctor Song, rode in a two-horse carriage; In the end, Liu Langzhong, Gu Langzhong and Zhang Li, each of them got a mule, and Zhang Zhang rode on the mule and followed the team at the end.

The entire convoy traveled unimpeded all the way, and there were already officials of the county government riding horses to open the way in front.

Although Zhang Li was riding a mule and was still at the back of the convoy, when he saw the people on both sides of the street, he couldn't help but start thinking about it:

Although I am at the end of the line now, I may not be able to sit in the leading carriage in the future!

When the convoy arrived at the city gate, Zhang Zhang saw that the city gate was open, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate removed the wooden fence and quickly made way for a road.

Obviously, although the gates were open, the guards were still quite strong. On both sides of the wooden fence, two Franc cannons were even installed to demonstrate the meaning of deterrence.

The Franc machine is the name of Portugal in the Ming Dynasty, and this kind of cannon was introduced to China by Portuguese merchants, so it is called the Franc machine gun.

Zhang Li rode on the mule and horse, and he only glanced past it in a hurry, and he didn't have time to take a closer look. I only think that those two cannons are a bit like the cannons of later generations, but the gun mounts are quite rudimentary.

Out of the gate of Penglai County, Zhang Zhang found that it should have been a wasteland, but now a lot of dense shacks have been built, and at a glance, there is no end in sight.

The entire shack area was designated as an epidemic area and fenced off. This project is not small, and the circumference is several miles. Obviously, Wang County Cheng sent a lot of people from Penglai County to come to work, so that this large shack could be built in such a short time.

Now it is off-limits, and all the sick and uninfected homeless have been driven into the shacks. Outside the wooden fence, there is a cannon every ten zhang. The soldiers of the firearms battalion also carried all kinds of firearms, and watched the shack area with fierce eyes.

At this time, the muskets were basically front-loading arquebuses, with a very slow rate of fire and poor accuracy. If it was really the people rushing through the pass, the firearms battalion would really not be able to stop people.

However, to deal with the homeless, what is needed is the deterrent power of the firearms battalion! After all, the shock of the fire cannon to the homeless people is much stronger than the broadsword and spear.

The convoy slowly stopped at the gate of the epidemic area, and as soon as he jumped off the mule, Zhang Zhang saw Wang Xiancheng and a military attache dressed as a military general standing in front of the gate to greet Ye Wentian.

"The visit of Lord Yiqing to the epidemic area is really a great blessing for the 20,000 people who have been placed here! In the next generation of all the people in the epidemic area, thank you to Lord Yiqing! Wang Xiancheng looked respectful and bowed deeply.

Ye Wentian, who had just gotten off the carriage, bowed slightly: "Lord Wang's words are serious, the plague is prevalent, and the old man has difficulty sleeping and eating, this is originally the responsibility of my Jishi Medical Society." ”

Although Wang Xiancheng is not of high grade, he is also a civil official born in the imperial examination, and he is also the brother-in-law of Lord Li, the prefect of Sipin Dengzhou, which Ip Man has investigated very clearly before he came to Penglai.

Originally, as Ye Wentian, there was no need to be so courteous to him. However, Ip Mantian has always been sophisticated, as long as he is a civil official, he will not embarrass him on the surface.

Wang Xiancheng saw that Ye Wentian, the dignified doctor of the world, was so polite, and he was flattered all of a sudden, and his voice actually trembled a little: "No, no, not to be called an adult." Lord Yiqing called Wang Qifeng by his name. ”

Ye Wentian nodded, stopped talking, and looked at the military general beside Wang Xiancheng.

This military general is none other than Wu Deming, a guerrilla of the firearms battalion in Denglai Town. Wu Deming saw Lord Yiqing looking at him, and hurriedly reported to his home: "Wu Deming, a guerrilla general of the firearms battalion in Dengzhou Town, Xiaguan, has seen Lord Yiqing. ”

The guerrilla general is under the general, and Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention of setting up this official name was that he led the guerrillas to attack or defend back and forth, and the grade was from the third grade. Later, however, guerrilla gradually became an abstract official name, and it had nothing to do with whether or not it commanded the guerrillas.

Daming is noble and martial, even Wu Deming, the military attache of the third grade, does not dare to make the slightest support in front of Wang Xiancheng, the civil official of the eighth grade, let alone the doctor of the dignified Jishi Medical Society. Although the medical secretary has no grade, the three generations of descendants in the future are all from the birth!

Ye Wentian's brows furrowed, and there was a hint of unhappiness in his tone: "Wu Guerrilla, what about General Zhang's soldiers?" ”

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans immediately appeared on Wu Deming's head, and he said cautiously: "Lord Qiqi Yiqing, Kong Youde is very anxious to invade Zhaoyuan County, and the general soldier received a military report last night, and he has rushed back to Zhaoyuan County overnight to arrange defense." ”

Ye Wentian felt like a mirror in his heart: I'm afraid that Zhang Tao, the chief soldier of Denglai, smelled something, and didn't want to be involved, so he left overnight......

Ye Wentian didn't ask again, but just routinely advised: "You two must actively cooperate with the old man, after the incident, the old man must not show credit to you, remember to work hard." ”

Wang Qifeng and Wu Deming hurriedly agreed in unison: "Yes!" ”

Ye Wentian said to Wu Deming: "You immediately go and arrange a team of elite soldiers to protect our safety." ”

Wu Deming immediately went down to make arrangements, and Ye Wentian instructed Wang Qifeng a few more words, asking him to return to the city quickly to allocate food, after all, the displaced people need to eat, and Wang Xiancheng is responsible for the matter of this soup kitchen.

Everyone only waited for a cup of tea, and Wu Deming led a team of elite soldiers over. The tension was roughly counted, and there were about ten firecrackers and five or six sword and axe hands.

Wu Deming stepped forward and bowed to Ye Wentian: "Lord Yiqing, the lower official has transferred a team of elites from the pro-soldier guard, and he will be able to protect the adults thoroughly." ”

Ye Wentian nodded slightly, turned to the people of the Jishi Medical Society and Zhang Zhang and the other three Lang Zhong and said, "Let's go." ”

The guards moved the gate of the plague area, which was the thick wooden fence. Guarded by the pro-soldiers, the crowd entered the plague shack area.

After the "lesson" of the guns and cannons of the firearms battalion, it is obvious that the sick and homeless people in the shack area are much more behaved. In fact, the homeless people also have a herd mentality, and when someone takes the lead in making trouble, they will follow the swarm.

Before Zhang Tao left yesterday, after executing hundreds of cunning and treacherous people who fanned the flames in public, most of the remaining homeless people were Zhuang families who kept to themselves.

I have to say that Wang Xiancheng is still very capable. He selected more than 1,000 strong men from among the homeless people who had not yet contracted the disease, and they were responsible for maintaining order within the shack area. Correspondingly, in addition to receiving porridge first, these strong men can also earn three white-flour steamed buns for their families every day!

Therefore, the current order of the epidemic area is much better than that on the Loess Mountain.

Entering the epidemic area, Xu Yiling asked, "Lord Yiqing, are we going to see the shacks one by one?" ”

Ye Wentian didn't answer, took everyone a few steps, lowered his head and muttered for a while, and then said to Xu Yiling: "No, just enter the shack, there are many patients in the shack, and there are many of us, I'm afraid there is a risk of infection." ”

Zeng Yiling also nodded and said, "My lord, we are a group of nine people, and there are already patients and family members living in the shack, and there is not even a place to move, let alone a consultation." ”

Ye Wentian said to a soldier beside him: "You immediately tell Wu Deming and ask him to bring a big tent over, and we will treat the patient in the tent." ”

The soldier replied and walked out of the gate of the epidemic area quickly.

Not long after, Wu Deming led a team of auxiliaries to come, and Zhang Zhang found that the movements of these auxiliaries were quite quick, and he soon set up a marching tent.

This tent is a spare Chinese army tent, with a circumference of about dozens of steps, and nine people enter it, which is very spacious.

Wu Deming prepared a chair for everyone in the plague treatment team, of course, Ye Wentian, Zeng Xian and Xu Yi were the generals who sat on it, but Zhang Li's chair was much simpler.

After everyone sat down in turn, Ye Wentian instructed the soldiers to bring the sick into the account.

After touching a cup of tea, the soldiers carried an old man with a sick man into the tent on a wooden plank, and the old man's family was waiting at the door of the tent.

Zhang Li saw that the old man's face was red and red, and there was a faint bloody rash on his skin, so he couldn't help but take two steps closer and wanted to take a closer look. However, Ye Wentian is the secretary of medicine, so he should be the first to take the pulse, and Zhang Zhang can only wait and see behind him.

Ye Wentian first carefully observed the old man on the wooden board, and muttered for a long time before he made a move.

After a while, Ye Wentian squinted his eyes slightly and said, "The pulse is low and thin—you can also come and take a look." ”

Everyone gave the patient a pulse in turn, and the tension was at the end, and the pulse was exactly as Ye Wentian said.

Seeing that everyone had crossed the pulse, Ye Wentian asked the patient, "What symptoms do you have, describe them in detail." ”

The patient said weakly: "The little old man has been infected for four or five days, and now he feels dizzy, dizzy, and weak......"

Zeng Yiling glanced at Ye Wentian, and when he saw that Ye Wentian was silent, he asked, "At the beginning of the infection, could you have fever symptoms?" ”

The patient nodded: "When I first contracted the disease, I did have a fever all over my body. ”

Zeng Yiling bowed slightly, and the rest of the people also asked some questions. Zhang Zhang didn't ask questions, everyone was in the old man's favor, and the questions were basically in place.

After Ip Mantian ordered the soldiers to carry the patient back to the shack, he began to organize a discussion.

Zeng Yiling said first: "Lord Yiqing, this patient is obviously a relatively mild of the plague. He was conscious, there were no pimples all over his body, and I looked pretty good, not a critical patient. ”

Ye Wentian nodded: "At first glance, this patient is indeed as you said, but if the illness is delayed any longer, I am afraid that he will faint." ”

"Oh?" Everyone was stunned, and even the tension opened their mouths wide!

This? Can the doctor still guess that the patient's next condition is fainting? I don't have the slightest fainting symptoms right now!
