When Qin Mu arrived in Zhuzhou, He Lianxi, the person in charge of Zhuzhou's Singles House, hurriedly greeted Xiang He and reported: "My lord, there is an outbreak of plague in Daning Village, Xiangyin County"

"What? Pestilence? When Qin Mu heard the word plague, his heart trembled.

"Yes, my lord, the officials in Changsha are panicked, and Mr. Zhuge wants me to report this matter to the adults as soon as possible, and ask the adults to decide."

"How do you keep it? Blockade of Daning Village? Blockade no? "Qin Mu is really anxious, and the guards around him are all changed, the plague is more like a flood beast for people in this era.

"My lord, Mr. Zhuge has ordered the blockade of Daning Village, but the news has come out, and now the people near Xiangyin are panicking, and all kinds of rumors about the plague are still spreading rapidly, and they have spread to Changsha, and Changsha is also fluctuating. Mr. Zhuge asked the adults to stay in Zhuzhou temporarily, and they must not go north again, and any orders that the adults have will immediately pass to Mr. Zhuge and Mr. Zhuge will carry them out. ”

"What to stay? Sima Kai prepared pen and paper, I said you remember, quickly. Sima Kai hurriedly took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, poured water into the inkstone with the water bladder on the saddle, and quickly sharpened the ink.

While thinking about it, Qin Mu ordered in a deep voice: "Listen, I ordered Liu Boquan to immediately use cotton cloth to make masks, and the soldiers who blocked Daning Village should all cover their mouths and noses with masks." In addition to strictly prohibiting all the people in Daning Village from entering and leaving, it is also necessary to burn a fire wall on the periphery of the village, and pay special attention to not letting rats and fleas out of Daning Village.

At the same time, people were sent to inspect nearby villages, and quarantine areas were established, but anyone who had symptoms such as mild fever, sudden chills, high fever, headache, fatigue, body aches, nausea, vomiting, and irritability should be immediately isolated. Send a doctor to govern it

In addition, the officials of Huguang should immediately take action, organize the people to exterminate rats and fleas, clean up all the garbage and ditches in densely populated places, and then sprinkle lime for disinfection after cleaning, and then let the people clean up the sundries at home, the quilts should be washed and exposed, and personal hygiene should be done well, and they should bathe every day. Keep the body clean, the room should also be sprinkled with lime to disinfect, and the door should be kept ventilated;

Especially in the barracks, the measures mentioned by the official are more strictly enforced, not a single mouse or flea can exist, soldiers who have no tasks are strictly forbidden to go out, those who must go out must also wear masks, and when they return to the camp, they must first change their clothes and bathe outside the camp before entering the camp, which is defined as the highest military action, whether it is a general or a magistrate. Whoever dares to perfunctory and careless will be dealt with by military law, if it is due to ineffective prevention. led to the spread of the plague under his rule, and there was no forgiveness for killing. ”

The book was rushed into ink, and the order that Sima Kai hurriedly wrote down was sent to Changsha by He Lianxi. At the same time, Qin Mu's personal guards rushed to the top of the country, and Qin Mu's orders were quickly transmitted to all states and counties.

Qin Mu then left Dong Xiaowan to walk slowly, and he took the rest of his guards Pegasus to the north.

The states and counties he passed along the way. Seeing that the officials and the people all took action, cleaning up, exterminating rats, exterminating fleas, and sprinkling lime for disinfection, the momentum was extremely huge;

Especially when I entered the county town along the way, I saw that every family was cleaning up the debris, drying clothes and quilts, and the clothes were fluttering everywhere I looked.

The reason why Qin Mu's order was carried out so quickly was that he gave a death order, and all local officials should act immediately after receiving the order, and those who dared to perfunctory blame would be punished with heavy punishment once it was verified.

Second, the people's fear of the plague made everyone dare not slack off, after hearing that the plague could be prevented according to the method Qin Mu said, most of the people did not need to be forced, but also consciously acted, their lives were their own, and no one wanted to die.

Third, the plague ravaged the areas north of the Central Plains in these years, millions of people died because of the plague, since the sixth year of Chongzhen, the plague first spread in Xingxian County, Shanxi, then to Datong, then to Lu'an, and then to Yulin, Shaanxi and other places, to Chongzhen 14 years, the plague spread to Hebei Damingfu, Shuntianfu and other places, many serious epidemic states and counties people died most, killing each other.

Even the city of Beijing was not spared, the plague ravaged the capital like a ghost city, death pillow, ten rooms and nine empty, and even the household was wiped out, and no one restrained it.

Especially from February to April last year, tens of thousands of people died of plague every day in the capital, so much so that the city gates were blocked by coffins transported out, and the death toll in the capital alone was no less than 200,000.

These terrible facts made the people of the Ming Dynasty frightened of the plague, who would dare to regard it as child's play?

It's just that in the original history, this tragic plague catastrophe mainly broke out in the area north of the Central Plains, and I don't know if there is an epidemic in the south, but even if there is an epidemic, it should not be serious, and it is recorded in the history books.

But Qin Mu didn't dare to take it lightly because of this, who dared to guarantee that history would still be the original history, and who dared to guarantee that the plague would not spread in the south? It is already a fact that there was a sudden epidemic in Xiangyin.

And now is spring, is the most vigorous season for the reproduction of germs, the Ming Dynasty lasted for ten years, the plague that took countless lives, the high incidence period is also in the spring.

That's why Qin Mucai was so aggressive, he didn't dare to have the slightest luck in his heart.

He even asked the singles' family to find Wu Youke, Langzhong, because when he watched the movie before, the film mentioned the plague with countless deaths in the late Ming Dynasty, and there was a doctor named Wu Youke who was quite unique in the prevention and control of the plague.

Qin Mu galloped all the way, passed Changsha without entering, and rushed straight to Xiangyin, after Zhuge Min heard about it, he didn't dare to stay in Changsha, and hurriedly chased north, but it was not until Xiangyin County that he caught up with Qin Mu.

Because Daning Village, where the war occurred, is only more than 30 miles away from Xiangyin County, the entire Xiangyin County is already panicked at this moment, the shops on the street are closed, pedestrians are scarce, all the streets are sprinkled with lime according to Qin Mu's order, the eyes are white, the sanitation everywhere has also been roughly cleaned, and the quilts that are drying can be seen everywhere in front of the house and behind the house.

Although all these preventive work was done, the people's expressions were very solemn, and when they saw outsiders entering the city, they all cast vigilant eyes.

Qin Mu rushed straight to the county government with his personal guards, Xiangyin County ordered Li Yingxin to hear that Qin Mu was coming, and hurriedly rushed out to greet him, even the official hat ran crookedly, to Qin Mu's surprise, He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, was also here and greeted Li Yingxin together.

Qin Mu didn't even have any extra politeness, and as he walked inside, he asked, "Li County Order, how is the epidemic situation in Xiangyin now?" In addition to Daning Village, are there any other places where the epidemic has occurred? ”

"My lord, as of today, more than 30 people in Daning Village have been infected with the plague, 21 people have died, and six people in nearby Mengyang Village and Shuigua Village have also experienced symptoms of cold and heat, and the lower officials have ordered these people to be sent to the quarantine area, although their families do not have the same symptoms, they are all ordered to stay at home and not go out"

"Who is the general responsible for leading the troops to blockade Daning Village? Who is Lang Zhong in charge of diagnosis and treatment? Let them come to the official immediately. ”

"The general in charge of blockading Daning Village is my Xiangyin guard general Chen Youyi, and the ruling Langzhong is called Shangguanneng, and the lower official will send someone to pass them on."

"Who discovered the epidemic in Daning Village this time, and has the reason been investigated?"

"Back to my lord, the epidemic in Daning Village was discovered by Xiaguan, after entering February, Xiaguan went to the countryside to persuade farmers to teach mulberry and distribute corn seeds, and found that many people died of illness through Daning Village, and the symptoms of the deceased were similar to the pimple plague epidemic in Jingshi and Shanxi, so he hurriedly asked General Chen Youyi to lead the army to blockade Daning Village, and now it has been confirmed that the first person to die of pimple plague was a villager Chen Dagong who returned from Shanxi, and he should have brought the plague back from Shanxi."

Qin Mu frowned very tightly when he heard this, the plague was originally transmitted from rats to people, but people can also infect each other after being infected, and he was not a medical student in his previous life, and the preventive measures he ordered to take were the usual methods used in most epidemics, and there was no specific targeting for the plague, and he didn't know how to treat the plague.

But will people pass the plague back on to rats? If not, it would be much easier, after all, it is easy to isolate people, but it is difficult to get rid of all the rats infected with the plague.

After Li Yingxin's summons, Chen Youyi, the general in charge of the blockade of Daning Village, and Shangguan Neng, the chief doctor, hurriedly arrived, Qin Mu further inquired about the situation in Daning Village, and then told them all the knowledge he knew about the plague and taught them how to prevent it.

Zuihou said to Chen Youyou: "General Chen, this time I will work for you, go back quickly, you must stabilize the morale of the army, and tell them that as long as the prevention is done properly, the epidemic will not spread, and there is nothing to fear." In short, the soldiers who are responsible for the blockade of the epidemic area must not be allowed to be frightened and flee first, and after the epidemic is brought under control, this officer will give credit to every soldier who participated in the blockade of the epidemic area. ”

Chen Youyi also gave a military salute and replied loudly: "Please rest assured, the last general will definitely live up to the expectations of the adults." ”

Qin Mu knew that all the precautions had been taken, and next, it was time to think of ways to appease the hearts of the army and the people. As soon as Chen Youyi and Shangguan Neng left, he immediately instructed Li Yingxin: "Li County order, immediately prepare three animals, and other sacrificial supplies, and this official will go to Daning Village to sacrifice to the plague god." ”

"Yes, sir."

Zhuge Min, who was chasing after him in a hurry, was still panting, and when he heard Qin Mu's words, he immediately objected fiercely: "Li Zhixian is slow, are you confused?" Adult, no, you must not go to Daning Village, by all means, adults want to sacrifice to the plague god, and set up an altar in the county seat to worship, and you must not go to Daning Village. ”

Li Yingxin was reprimanded by Zhuge Min, and after reacting, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly joined the ranks of opposition, refusing to carry out Qin Mu's order, unless he agreed to sacrifice the plague god in the county seat instead.
