Chapter 737: A Cure for an Epidemic Outbreak

As the commander-in-chief, Yang Jing can only be the shopkeeper in terms of governing the army, which makes him hurt when he has always wanted to take the pro-people route.

In order to reduce the oppression of the soldiers by the evil Jiao, he could only act alone, and the big tent was also placed separately, except for Feng Ruochen and others, even Zhang Changling, who were reluctant to enter his camp.

In order to avoid panic, he created even more panic, which is a situation that Yang Jing does not want to see.

He also wanted these sergeants to get close to this evil Jiao and see the docile side of this evil Jiao, but the problem was that the role of the evil Jiao was to stimulate the morale of the army.

If the sergeants were allowed to see this evil Jiao rolling around, or stupidly ugly and cute, would they still believe that this evil Jiao could kill all directions?

In the end, it is still impossible to grasp this degree, not only for the sergeants not to worry about the evil Jiao hurting their own people, but also to make them feel that this animal can treat the enemy cruelly and coldly.

This needs to let the sergeants see that Yang Jing has absolute control over this evil dragon, but Yang Jing himself has no confidence, how can he let the sergeant see this?

Not to mention anything else, just that this animal will howl in the middle of the night, and will spit acid everywhere, everywhere it goes, it will be withered and decayed and died, and Yang Jing's camp is a place of necrony!

The dragon-bred snow jade horse given to Zhang Changling couldn't stand it, and he didn't dare to stay in the stable stall all night long, let alone the other war horses.

These burdened pack horses and cavalry horses were restless all day long, overturning the goods and wagons on the knights and their backs at every opportunity, rushing in all directions on the march, trampling the people's fields, hitting the sergeants several times, and almost killing them!

This is only part of the many problems, Yang Jing, as the commander-in-chief, can't take this animal away from the camp, so it is tantamount to handing over the entire army to Jia Rudao.

In the end of the Great Song Dynasty, the status of military generals has not changed much, and he can't raise his head in front of civil officials, and Zhang Changling can't overpower Jia Yidao at all.

Yang Jing can't leave, and it's even more impossible to get rid of this evil Jiao, this animal only recognizes Yang Jing, and he can't drive it away all day long like a fart, unless he kills this animal.

But Yang Jing controls it, if it shows murderous aura, this animal will not agree to 10,000, if it resists, Yang Jing will not be able to kill it, but will let it kill an unknown number of soldiers!

Yang Jing is also difficult to ride a tiger, and he is quite self-defeating.

When they arrived at the border of Hongzhou, the march was only one-third, and the sergeants finally couldn't hold it back, and a small riot began that night!

Some people say that the acid is contagious, and many sergeants begin to develop rashes on their bodies, which turn into burn-like bubbles!

Some of the sergeants were in a more serious condition, ulcerated, emotional, crazy, scratching and scratching, so that they were covered in blood and pus, and many even couldn't bear it anymore and chose to commit suicide!

After a large number of sergeants conspired, they gathered in one place, broke through the ordnance camp, took swords, guns, spears, and tried to storm Yang Jing's camp, wanting to kill Yang Jing and Evil Jiao together!

Although Yang Jing lived alone, he did not relax his defense, after all, the Mongols were too cunning, and it was not ruled out that they would assassinate Yang Jing, and the coach also needed someone to guard him.

This small rebellion was quickly and successfully suppressed, Zhang Changling was a harsh ruler of the army, and wanted to behead those people to show the public, but Yang Jing was worried that it would cause greater panic, so he chose to calm down the situation and improve the treatment of many sergeants to appease the army.

But without a clear explanation of the matter, the sergeant will panic even more, and the situation will be even more difficult to manage.

To this end, Yang Jing must investigate to see what is going on with these sergeants, whether they are really infected by the corrosive acid solution, other diseases, or artificial troublemakers.

Yang Jing didn't have a clear definition of this evil dragon, he didn't know if he was a primordial crocodile that had long been extinct, or something like a mutant Komodo dragon, and he didn't have a complete understanding of the nature and function of the acid, and he didn't know enough about how harmful this powerful biological acid was.

But he can't investigate in person, if this kind of work is carried out by Lu Baiyu, it is naturally the best, but Lu Baiyu is not there, and Feng Ruochen's medical skills are not so profound, so he can only ask Ge Changgeng to investigate.

Ge Changgeng is well-informed, so he is naturally trustworthy, and it won't be long before he and Zhang Changling come to reply to Yang Jing.

"There are about 30 people who have the condition, at first they are only infected with red rashes, similar to pox, the size of corn, and then the stool is the size of soybeans, with pus, and red spots around them, the patients only feel that the flames burn their bodies, their bodies are hot, and some people have evil qi into their brains and into the devil..."

Ge Changgeng's description is already very in place, this is the advantage of the doctor's investigation, if you change to someone else, it is difficult to grasp the key to this.

And Yang Jing also grasped the key point from Ge Changgeng's description, and of course, he also felt Ge Changgeng's attitude towards this matter.

Ge Changgeng regarded it as a description of the disease, naturally he didn't believe that this was the evil Jiao, and ruled out the possibility of artificial poisoning.

Yang Jing thought about it repeatedly, and he also had his own conclusion in his heart.

From these descriptions, the sergeants were estimated to have contracted viral herpes, most likely varicella zoster.

This herpes virus is widely infectious, is an acute infectious skin disease, if it is simple viral herpes, the distribution of herpes will not be too regular, the whole body, and there is no too obvious burning and neuralgia, not to mention encephalitis and the like, so that the patient hallucinates.

After shingles is treated, the virus will go dormant and lurk in the nervous tissue, and if you encounter stress, stress, fatigue or trauma, it will break out.

Later complications are also extremely scary, and they are transmitted through herpes pus, saliva, and even urine and feces.

This barracks is overcrowded and the sanitary environment is extremely poor, although Yang Jing has long regarded epidemic prevention in the military as the first priority, and must keep every sergeant in a healthy state to deal with the next war, and never allow anyone to die of illness on the march.

However, these sergeants have formed habits that are difficult to break, and besides, the mobility of the march is too great to set up public toilets and other facilities everywhere, which is not only too costly, but also easy to make the sergeants feel uncomfortable.

These sergeants have a conflict of concepts, so they naturally resist Yang Jing's various measures, and moreover, every time Yang Jing asks people to sprinkle lime or something for disinfection, it will cause controversy, thinking that Yang Jing actually knew that the evil Jiao would transmit diseases, so he would be so careful to disinfect and prevent the epidemic.

This made Yang Jing very helpless, and now that this kind of thing has happened, coupled with the typical burning sensation and neuralgia of shingles, the sergeants naturally blame the evil Jiao's head.

There are also many treatments for viral herpes, which can be treated and treated with antivirals such as acyclovir, but the problem is that these things are not available at all in this era.

Yang Jing told Ge Changgeng and Zhang Changling about the principle of this disease, and asked them to enforce disinfection and epidemic prevention, and isolate all infected people and those who have been in contact with patients.

Although this will cause greater panic and controversy, once the disease is contagious, it is not a problem for the thirty or fifty people, and for the health of the army, it can only be done.

Ge Changgeng has seen these patients struggling in pain, and if these patients can be cured, the effect will naturally be more obvious than isolation, and it will be easier to stabilize the morale of the army.

Yang Jing didn't want to, but he didn't think of a countermeasure for a while, if it was just simple analgesia or sedation, he could use the morphine he brought from Jiangling, but this thing could not be used for a long time, it was very addictive, and Yang Jing was also a little hesitant.

Ge Changgeng also has a certain experience in epidemic prevention, and knowing that Yang Jing is worried, he discussed with Zhang Changling to do something.

It's a shame that he didn't go to the left of Jiangling, otherwise Ge Changgeng would have gone to find his old daughter-in-law, and Yang Jing would inevitably lack a powerful right-hand man.

After Ge Changgeng and Zhang Changling left, Yang Jing was also desperately thinking about countermeasures, his medical knowledge was not too rich, after all, it was mainly forensic science, and many clinical medical things were gradually abandoned.

But this kind of viral herpes is also a relatively common disease, especially zoster herpes, and he gradually recalled a lot of methods.

In the second half of the night, Yang Jing suddenly asked Ge Changgeng to come over, and after asking about the situation after isolation, he said to Ge Changgeng.

"I've seen this disease before, and I've seen people use a home remedy, so you can choose one or two sergeants to do an experiment and see if it works. ”

Yang Jing also vaguely remembered this kind of home remedies, as for whether it was effective or not, it depends on the results of the experiment, anyway, there is nothing to be done now, it is better to try it, and it should be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

"This home remedy is to use rushes and grass, soaked in castor oil, if there is no castor oil, use vegetable oil, and then ignite, when the rushes burn, there will be hot oil dripping, and the hot oil will drip on the patient's nose, and it must be heard crackling..."

Ge Changgeng is a folk doctor, and he naturally has a little experience in various home remedies and side ways, and he was not too surprised after listening to Yang Jing's method.

"After the operation, I will use things like Sophora sophora, Cnidium monnieri and other things to boil water and wash outside, I believe that Mr. should know this external washing formula, and the younger generation will not say much. ”

Yang Jing said this, and Ge Changgeng did it with conviction.

Now he is no longer surprised by Yang Jing, as if Yang Jing said something shocking, or had any whimsical ideas, it was so natural.

Because Ge Changgeng knows better than anyone else, Yang Jing is only afraid that he really does not belong to this world, as for whether he is a flying immortal outside the sky, Ge Changgeng is not easy to speculate.

From the notebook that Yang Jing gave him, Ge Changgeng was enough to determine his own conjecture, which was also the reason why he, who was known as the closest to the immortal path in the whole world and known as the land immortal, was still willing to follow Yang Jing.

Seeing that Ge Changgeng was about to walk out, Yang Jing stopped him again.

"By the way, Sir can give them some aconitum appropriately, although this thing is very poisonous, it can relieve pain, so that the sergeants can feel more at ease..."

Ge Changgeng was slightly stunned, but finally nodded and left.

Aconitum is a ranunculaceae plant, the taproot is called aconitum when it is used as medicine, and the lateral root is called aconite, although it is very poisonous, it is a good analgesic.

The aconitine contained in aconitum is a non-narcotic analgesic, which can effectively relieve the neuralgia of zoster herpes, which is actually symptomatic.

However, although Yang Jing handed over this matter to Ge Changgeng to do, there is one thing that he must work on himself, that is, how to solve the problem of Evil Jiao, which has become his top priority!
