Chapter 174: The Plague Breaks Out

Mao Weizhang's anxious roar Li Xin is no longer strange, and it is not a good thing to have this kind of subordinate who writes everything on his face. If Li Xin's pocket was full of guys from the deep city government one day, he would have to guess everything for a long time, wouldn't he be tired to death.

Seeing the arrival of this goods, Li Xin knew that this meal of haggis could be eaten, Heisenberg and Albert no matter who came, after gobbling up and eating, each of them asked for a bowl, where is there still a bit of gentlemanly demeanor?

"How did the chief soldier find it here, and finally found it......"

"Mao Zhenfu, why do you have to rush to the street to find the general?"

In Li Xin's mind, Mao Weizhang must have eaten a nail from Qiu Liangcun, and he couldn't put the situation in a situation alone, so he found himself to support him. Who knew that as soon as this product opened his mouth, Li Xin was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

"The catastrophe is coming, the official document sent by Datong Mansion, you should see it yourself, Lord Commander."

After that, Mao Weizhang handed over a document, and Li Xin gasped after only a few glances.

Pestilence!!

The plague broke out in Beizhili and Shanxi, and Jingshi, Baoding, Shanxi, and even Andong Zhongtunwei in the south of Datong Prefecture were affected, and the death toll was tens of thousands in one day, and the court was already in chaos.

In this era of backward medicine, the outbreak of plague often means the death of a large number of people who cannot be contained, and because of backwardness and ignorance, people have no way to even resist this disaster caused by bacteria, and can only bear it in silence.

After a long time, Li Xincai shifted his gaze to Mao Weizhang's face, "Datong Mansion City has not been affected yet, but it is only a matter of time, we Yang Hewei must remember the epidemic prevention in advance!" ā€

Mao Weizhang had completely lost his mind at this time, and he never imagined that the first test he faced in presiding over the comprehensive civil affairs in the Yanghe Acropolis was the plague. The plague, especially the plague, is no stranger to everyone in the Chongzhen period, since the Apocalypse Dynasty, there will be an outbreak almost every few years, and every time the dead are tens of thousands, which is unbearable.

What's even more worrying is that when faced with the plague, they are helpless and have very little to do.

"With all due respect, once the plague breaks out, there has always been no effective way for the imperial court to deal with it......"

Li Xin suddenly interrupted Mao Weizhang's words, and said coldly: "Then according to Mao's intentions, we still have to give up this Yang and Wei can't do it?" ā€

Mao Wei waved his hand again and again, he saw that Li Xin had misunderstood what he meant, and hurriedly explained: "Xiaguan doesn't mean this, Xiaguan means that instead of sitting and waiting to be killed, it is better to send the people in the city to the countryside as much as possible." According to what Xia Guan has seen and heard over the years, the more concentrated the population, the more severe the plague will be......"

Hearing Mao Weizhang say this, Li Xin's complexion eased, it turned out that he had misunderstood this Mao Weizhang, this person was not brave when dealing with the Mongolian Tartars, if he was frightened by the plague, it was really a shame for the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, these people shouted all day long to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, kill themselves, sacrifice their lives for righteousness, and when it came to the real time, they ran faster than anyone else.

Forced dismissal of the people? Although this is a strategy, it is also an idea that Mao Weizhang came up with after thinking about it, which shows that he has indeed thought about how to deal with the impending disaster of the plague. However, in doing so, without considering whether the people are willing to be forcibly dismissed, this kind of behavior alone is equivalent to the government has abandoned the people and left them to fend for themselves in the countryside, not to mention that after the dismissal, the people will become homeless, and even if they escape the plague, they will definitely become one of the factors of social instability.

Therefore, Mao Weizhang's construction is absolutely unworkable.

Li Xin was ready to pay for the haggis, and first went back to the yamen to discuss it specifically before making a decision, the peddler saw Mao Weizhang's official uniform, and was respectful to him, knowing that this person must be a bigger official, where would he dare to collect money, so he was so frightened that he fell on the ground and kowtowed. Li Xin didn't have time to make noise with him, threw the money on the table, and hurriedly disappeared at the corner of the street with Heisenberg, Albert, and Mao Weizhang.

The commander of the Yamen was regarded as a temporary residence by Li Xin, and several middle- and lower-level officials in the city who had survived the battle were summoned to prepare to brainstorm ideas, including the commander Qiu Liangcun, who was currently the highest official and senior official in the Yanghe Acropolis.

As for the officials of Gao Shanwei, some were also called, in the eyes of most officials of Yang Hewei, they only had the share of building yƬ at best, and the jurisdiction of Yang and the Acropolis belonged to Yang Hewei, and had nothing to do with Gao Shanwei. It's just that in any case, the thousands of military households along the Yanshui River are not small, and after all, we still have to discuss how to prevent the epidemic in these places. Therefore, in Yang Hewei's view, Gao Shanwei is dispensable, but in Li Xin's eyes, it also has an irreplaceable role.

Not surprisingly, Qiu Liangcun refused to attend the meeting due to illness, and Mao Weizhang faintly became the leader of the officials of the Yanghe Acropolis. Li Xin said, this is good, there is a lot less unknown resistance.

After returning from the street and calling everyone for a meeting, Li Xin had calmed down, and searched his stomach to recall the effective information that he had learned in his previous life that it could prevent and treat the plague, especially the plague. Finally, in my heart, I have a rough score.

At the same time, Li Xin thought of Albert, who, as far as he knew, had several large-scale bubonic plague outbreaks in the mountains of European history, which had been rampant for hundreds of years and killed tens of millions of people. Perhaps the West may have been able to sum up some effective methods in practice by now!

Unexpectedly, when Albert heard about the outbreak of the plague, his face turned green with fright, and if he hadn't been free now, he would have run away long ago. I saw that his right hand kept drawing a cross on his chest, and he was chanting words in his mouth.

"Oh! O Mercious and Almighty Lord, forgive us sinful......"

Heisenberg, who was also a partner, was much calmer than that.

"There have been intermittent outbreaks of plague in my hometown over the years, and the doctors have been helpless to watch people wait to get sick and then watch them die."

Li Xin asked Heisenberg and Albert that they had the attitude of having dates and not being jujubes, and since they had nothing to do, they could only rely on the incomplete modern medical methods in his memory to fight it.

There was a commotion in the main hall of the Wei Si Yamen, and at this time, the big guys also learned the news of the plague from their own channels, and the people were panicked, everyone was in danger, and the so-called coming to discuss countermeasures seemed to them to be meaningless actions. But there was an order from above, and it had to be taken from.

Mao Weizhang shouted several times in a row, and the hall gradually quieted down, Li Xin sat at the table that originally belonged to the commander, his face became more and more ugly, can he count on these people?

In the end, the so-called brainstorming became a grievance meeting, and officials at all levels talked about their own difficulties, and after a delay, it was time to hold the lamp. Until the end of the scene, no one gave their opinion on the plague.

In the end, only Li Xin, Mao Weizhang, Heisenberg, and Albert were left in the hall. Mao Weizhang only felt uncomfortable burning on his face, after all, they were all officials of Yang Hewei, and he lost Yang Hewei's face, he had an overview of the city's government affairs, but he did not have any subordinates, in the final analysis, he was also a bare pole.

Heisenberg and Albert could not understand what the men had been chattering all afternoon, but they could guess that the afternoon had been in vain.

finally saw clearly what kind of virtue the officials of the Ming Dynasty were, and saw the whole leopard at a glance, the atmosphere is like this, and the end of the dynasty is no different. Is this Ming Dynasty that has rotted to the bones worth saving him, Li Xin finally realized the helplessness of Emperor Chongzhen, who worked hard in the Wenhua Hall day and night, and his subordinates were all corpse vegetarians, even if he had thousands of ideas, who would realize them for him!

But Li Xin is not Chongzhen, and he will not be mean to others because of this. In the dark, he said leisurely: "The General Military Office has decided that from now on, the epidemic prevention headquarters will be established in Yanghe, Zhenyu, and Gaoshan Sanwei, and Ben will personally serve as the commander-in-chief, Yanghewei Town will take care of Mao Weizhang, the governor of Zhenwei will be the deputy commander-in-chief, and Dr. Albert will be the assistant to the commander-in-chief. After the war, the pickets will also be responsible for epidemic prevention from now on, and they will listen to the order as one! ā€

Mao Weizhang didn't have time to think about all kinds of novel words in Li Xin's series of decisions, and the chief soldier actually took on this responsibility himself, and this alone made him have to admire this person. Wei Si Yamen is also in charge of military affairs, and it is his unshirkable responsibility, and he, Li Xin, as the chief military officer, does not have to take the initiative to take over this matter.

Thinking that he had retreated the moment he first heard of the outbreak of the plague, he couldn't help but feel ashamed of himself.

"The chief soldier is high-minded, and the lower official is a qiē and the chief soldier is ......"

Mao Weizhang can't come up with a good way, all he can do is to express his position, at this time, he will firmly stand on Li Xin's side and will not back down.

Fortunately, Yang and Acropolis have not yet discovered the epidemic, and it has not happened yet, and he, like everyone else, has saved a fluke in case of emergency.

But Li Xin would never believe in any luck, since the outbreak had already broken out from Jingshi to Taiyuan Mansion, and even the Andong Zhongtunwei in the south of Datong Mansion had not been spared, and it was only a few hundred miles away from Yanghewei, and the plague could arrive with the caravan in a few days.

"Hold the lamp!"

The servants, with their hurried and small steps, lit the candlesticks in the hall one by one, and a bright light suddenly dispelled the darkness that filled the room. Li Xin pushed forward a hastily written piece of paper on the case.

"There is a plan here, Mao Zhenfu, you take it and take a look, and then write an implementation plan."

Mao Weizhang had heard too many new words from Li Xin's mouth today, and he was no longer surprised, and took the piece of paper in his hand......
