From the moment he heard the coughing sound, Li Xiao felt that something was wrong. It's normal to have one or two colds in winter, but it's not normal for hundreds of people to catch a cold at once. What's more, there are only a few hundred people here.

Now that someone is unconscious, Li Xiao, who has been educated in the three defenses, is highly vigilant.

"Put on your mask and check those guys for bleeding under their eyes!" Li Xiao saw a medical officer beside him and immediately came over to appoint him.

"No!" Seeing Li Xiao's nervous expression, the medical officer went down the city wall for some reason. Check out the guy who fell to the ground!

These medical officers are all guys who studied with John Tang on Changxing Island, and have been taught by Li Zhongzi. It is a product of the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, although it is not very good to see a doctor because of experience. But there are still two brushes to deal with trauma! Sure enough, the base of this guy's eyelid was blood-red.

"Handsome! This guy has bleeding under his eyes. The medic shouted at the city.

"All of these people who have fever, coughing, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, confusion, flushed or pale faces, are all ...... All of them were sent to the Jiangnan Hall outside the city and imprisoned. No inside is allowed, no outside is allowed. Mobilize all the medics and examine all the soldiers as I say.

Once the above symptoms appear, they are all sent to the Huangzhuang outside the city to be taken care of. In the same way, you are not allowed to go out, you are not allowed to enter! No one shall be ordered not to come into contact with these patients.

Zu Chengxun, after you take your subordinates to be examined, you will immediately go to Jinan to invite Mr. Li Zhongzi here. Fast!

Stop all remission efforts, quick! Li Xiao hurriedly gave a series of orders. Zu Dashou and Zhang Huangyan next to him both looked at Li Xiao strangely, not knowing what was going on.

"Come back to the castle with me." Li Xiao gave an order to Zu Dashou and Zhang Huangyan, and these two guys followed Li Xiao into the city tower with suspicion, and Li Xiao kicked everyone out, leaving only the three of them.

"The plague?" When Zu Dashou and Zhang Huangyan heard the words coming out of Li Xiao's mouth, their faces immediately turned pale. This has just been a great war, and suddenly a plague has struck. There are still five or six hundred thousand people in the capital, and once the news of this plague spreads, it is not a joke.

"Dashuai, you can't be mistaken?" Zu Dashou's voice trembled a little.

Fifteen years ago, the epidemic in Liaodong was in winter. The land of Liaodong was full of corpses, and the entire ancestral family lost a total of thirty-seven clansmen that year.

"That's right, cough, fever, fainting, and most importantly, bleeding from the fundus. This is the more severe plague of the plague, and in faraway Europa, it has killed tens of millions of people. ”

"The plague? What does that have to do with mice? If it's a mouse, wouldn't it be enough for us to let the rats be hunted? Zhang Huangyan hurriedly asked.

"Rats are meant to be eradicated, but now is not the time. In addition, it is very dangerous to come into contact with rats now, and it is now important to isolate people who are sick. Get these people out of the city, in those imperial estates or in the courtyards of the princes and ministers. ”

"That's the Imperial Village, and the ministers' courtyard. Let's do this, long live and return to Beijing in the future...... The man was greatly offended. Zhang Huangyan was a little worried.

"What's the matter, it's a plague. A plague that may kill everyone in the capital, and you are still thinking about offending people?

The most important thing now is to find the source of the plague. I guess it must have been among the rioters. Control these refugees, check all of them. If you resist, kill them!

If you see someone who is seriously ill, burn it immediately. Even their clothes, everything they had was burned anyway. People who have been in contact with them are to be quarantined for observation if they also develop symptoms...... Burn!

Starting today, there will be a city-wide curfew. Open the grain depot and distribute grain firewood and charcoal to each household. No one is allowed to go out on the streets, and no one is allowed to move around. Organize people to patrol the streets, and anyone who violates the ban will be killed! Now Li Xiao feels that the crematorium outside the city is not enough, but too few. In a few days, it is estimated that many people will be burned.

Li Xiao is not a professional and lacks the means to deal with the plague. At present, all he can think of is isolating the sick and burning all the sources of pollution!

The education of the three defenses received by later generations simply told soldiers how to protect against biological, chemical and nuclear weapons. But the soldiers were not told what to do to prevent the plague. Li Xiao searched the knowledge in his head eight times, but he couldn't find any specific measures.

The helpless Li Xiao had to keep saying cruel killing words! There is no way, the plague of the century in later generations brought Li Xiao a very frightening memory, and he could not be merciful at this time.

"Zu Dashou, you can do this. Rather kill the wrong! Don't let it go! "It's better to leave this kind of thing to the soldiers. After all, they are all people who eat with knives in their hands. Cutting people is their profession.

"No!" Zu Dashou walked out with a bloody killing.

Li Xiao walked irritably in the city tower, like a trapped tiger.

"Now we have to create some more rumors to get out, and it is said that the army of 100,000 Tartars has gone and returned, so the nine gates must be closed, and a curfew is imposed to prevent spies. Otherwise, people's hearts will be unstable. "In the end, the old fox who has become a fine immediately thought of a propaganda plan to solve this kind of thing, and came up with a suitable reason for closing the Nine Gates and blocking the capital.

"Hmmm! Go for it! ”

The nine gates of the capital were closed, and those who were captured and prepared to be sent to Liaodong were subjected to extremely strict interrogation. I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it.

It turned out that the plague had long spread among the chaotic people, and people continued to die of illness on the way from Guanzhong to the capital. Hundreds of thousands of hungry people, and no one cares if some die. Of course, Zhang Xianzhong does not have the good eye to identify the plague like Li Xiao. By the time of his retreat, the plague had become widespread among the rioters.

Li Xiao closed his eyes in pain, refugees who have no food to eat, do you expect them not to be self-reliant? When people are not eating, rats naturally become good things.

Clever mice are not easy to catch, and naturally those sick mice are easier to catch. God knows if the refugees cooked the rats, but I heard that some plague bacteria can still survive in 100 degrees of boiling water.

No wonder it is said that hundreds of thousands of refugees have a very mediocre combat power. No wonder when Zhang Xianzhong fled, the refugees would sit there and wait for the massacre. It's not that they don't want to resist, it's not that they don't want to run away. Rather, they were infected with the plague and had no strength in their bodies.

Yang Sichang on the dog day, Qian Qianyi on the dog day. They must have known for a long time that there were signs of a plague in Guanzhong. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to explain why the emperor's family fled from the capital in a hurry. It also explains why Zhu Youzhen violated the ancestral precepts of the Son of Heaven guarding the country and the king dying.

Routine! It's all a fucking routine, these bastards have cast their nets and are waiting for Lao Tzu to drill into them. They thought that Lao Tzu's Liao army was all folded in this plague, and Huang Taiji's Tartar soldiers were also folded in this plague. It is best for Lao Tzu and Huang Taiji to be infected with the plague and die, and after the plague gradually subsides, they will come back to take over the former capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Xiao admits that he is not the opponent of these bastards at all.

It's too vicious, it's too fucking damn.

Compared with these bastards who play politics, Zu Dashou, whose hands are stained with blood, is a bodhisattva when he shaves his beard.

The nine gates of the capital were closed, and the infected person was quickly isolated. Out of fear of the plague, Zu Dashou was very black, and many quarantined people were actually thrown alive into the fire pit. After incineration, the ashes are buried deep in the ground.

The most infected people are those from Guanzhong. They were originally the key people infected by this plague, and the most immoral thing that Zu Dashou did was to gather the sick and chaotic people in a huge compound. Then pour oil on it and start burning!

The crematoriums around the capital have to dispose of a large number of corpses every day. Li Xiao gave a death order, and he must burn all the corpses around the capital in the shortest possible time. And to ensure that it is burned clean and thoroughly, not a piece of meat, a piece of cloth!

Residents of the city were confined to their homes. Some people went door-to-door to distribute rice, grain, firewood and charcoal, and everyone was locked up in their homes, and they couldn't even come out to relieve themselves.

The rebels were also taken into custody after their weapons were confiscated. Letting these people go will actually alleviate the epidemic in the capital, but the whole of Hebei will suffer.

Rumors began to fly all over the sky, and the Tartar Khan Emperor Taiji returned with an army of 500,000. The Zhuangzi of such and such a place was slaughtered, and the Tartar team saw the end of the head and the tail in such and such a place.

Out of fear of the tartars, the common people obediently stayed at home. Since Li Dashuai can defeat Tartar for the first time, he will naturally be able to defeat Tartar for the second time. With the last victory, the people of the capital still have a lot of trust in Li Xiao's combat ability.

This may be the only good news Li Xiao has heard in the past five days.

Li Zhongzi finally came to the capital, which was Li Xiao's only hope. Now we can only hope that this great doctor can defeat the demon of the century of the plague.

"Doctor Li, how is this epidemic? Can......! Li Xiao was afraid that he would hear three words from Li Zhongzi's mouth. If these three words appear, a lot of people will die. Calculated in 10,000!

"Uh......!" Li Zhongzi is still that chronic, this morning after seeing more than a dozen sick soldiers, this old guy is still so unhurried.

Li Xiao's head almost burst into flames, but people here are indifferent.

"This epidemic is very vicious, and the commander said that it was transmitted by rats, and it seems that it is also possible. Although the old man didn't know how to treat this disease, the old man could study a few ancient prescriptions. These patients are treated separately, and which one recovers indicates which prescription is effective. ”

It turned out that the old guy was going to conduct clinical drug trials, although Li Xiao thought that this method was a bit time-consuming, but now it is also the only way.

"How many days does it take?"

"The medicine is violent, and it will take three days. As long as one person is cured, prevention and treatment can be carried out on a large scale. Fortunately, the marshal took precautions in advance, and the latrines were sprinkled with quicklime. Families were also forbidden to move, and those who were sick were all sent out of the city. The dead were burned and then buried deeply, and these measures greatly mitigated the spread of the disease.

It's just that those who test the drug have to take a very big risk. The old man thinks about it again, is there a foolproof plan. Li Zhongzi felt a little guilty, after all, he was not a Japanese who treated people as inappropriate.

"It's all this time, can you still manage this?" Li Xiao can still manage so much now, and he is so anxious that he almost jumps.

In desperation, Li Zhongzi hurriedly ordered someone to go out to grab medicine. After checking the medicine for yourself, immediately decoction of the medicine.

Although Li Xiao was in a hurry, he couldn't help it. Fortunately, the old guy promised three days, and then controlled this huge city for three more days, Li Xiao asked himself if he could still do it.

It turned out that Li Xiao was too confident. Just one day later, Li Xiao encountered a huge problem.

There are a few guys in the rebels who are sick, and according to Li Xiao's orders, this kind of person must be quarantined. But I don't know why, the news that Zu Dashou burned the living was spread. When the Liao army went to carry people in the camp of the rebel army, they encountered great obstacles.

Zu Dashou is a rough man, and the way a rough man is reasonable is with fists and knives. When a thousand people want to reason with 10,000 people, it is clear that fists are not a good choice.

At first, it was just shouting and scolding hand-to-hand combat, but soon hand-to-hand combat turned into a weapon fight. When someone dies on both sides, the seeds of hatred are planted.

Battles escalate, from swords, guns, swords, halberds, to rifles and cannons.

Li Xiao threw in a company at noon to quell the riot, and in the afternoon he had to send a regiment to rescue the company.

Rumors ran faster than the wind, and in just half an hour, Li Xiao heard about various versions. Although the story told is different, the people who died in the story are different. But there is one thing in common, and that is that one sounds more evil than the other.

Some people even say that Li Xiao was able to defeat the Tartars. It was because Li Xiao and Lord Yama signed a contract, and Lord Yama sent ghost soldiers to help Li Xiao win this battle. Li Xiao wants to borrow the Yin soldiers of Lord Yama to help Lord Yama conquer in the underworld.

It has to be said that the creativity of the vast number of working people is endless. When various versions of the story became popular in the capital, the people of the capital, who were quite quiet a few days ago, also took action.

More and more people are reluctant to stay at home, even though they have food and drink. These people began to pour into the streets, and some of the thugs tried to take advantage of the chaos.

For them, the more chaotic the capital, the better, and the more chaotic they are, the more opportunities they have to take advantage of the fire to loot. The last pleasant robbery was stopped by Li Xiao entering the city with a large army. Now that there is such a good opportunity, how can I let it go.

They are the ones who are the most active in spreading rumors, and they are also the ones who attack patrols with black lights. Even in broad daylight, they would encourage those who had nothing to do and were so frightened by the rumors that they were about to pee on the streets to demand that the Nine Gates be opened and they should be released from the capital.

Embattled! Li Xiao is now in a hurry, and it is obvious that he can't kill all those rebels. If he does this, Li Xiao's reputation will stink on the street, and no one will believe him in the future.

It is even more inconvenient for him to use force against the residents of the capital. He only has a total of more than 10,000 soldiers, and as long as Li Xiao dares to shoot, he will definitely fall into the vast sea of people's war.
