Chapter 0276 - Smooth
The next day, the Imperial Physician prepared everything. Because of the booklet left by Imperial Doctor Mei's mentor, I am a little sure how many people have pox. Now Sunan Cheng said cowpox, and the correction method is basically agreed with Dr. Mei.
One of his biggest doubts is, can the pustules on the cow's body be used by people? If so, will there be anything bad?
But now I really can't wait, mainly because Sunan Cheng is willing to risk his life, which is somewhat reassuring.
γ
His official position is not low, and he is dignified, so he will not kill himself, right?
But first of all, mobilization.
Fei Jiu gathered all the people in the camp, and in addition to those who went out to patrol and garrisoned the passes, there were still 70,000 or 80,000 people here.
Fei Jiu briefly said that pox can prevent and eradicate smallpox, and said that the first wave was led by Lord Qincha.
Su Nancheng specially did not wear light armor, but wore an official uniform. The official uniforms of the city defense battalion are all strong suits, because they are military attachΓ©s.
Su Nancheng's official uniform is a red suit, embroidered with complex patterns, and his presence is the most obvious on the high platform.
In fact, he got up: "This official is a messenger who came by order, and he is also the commander of the capital city defense battalion. The grandfather of this official is the teacher of the saint, and now the Taishi, the head of the household, and the marquis of Chengkang. The official's father was a servant of the ministry, and his aunt was the concubine of the first emperor. β
"The official said this, not to publicize anything, but to tell the soldiers that the official will be the first to plant pox. I also asked General Fei to find some soldiers to watch. This official was born rich and noble, and he dared to plant pox. As long as the official eats and lives with someone who has smallpox after receiving pox, if it is not contagious, please believe the official. They all have to be seeded with pox. Smallpox is indeed incurable, once it is treated, it is a life of death, even if it is cured, it will leave a scar all over the body. But this official's pox method will never leave a scar. β
It exploded at once, Fei Jiu didn't say how to get pox, and Su Nancheng didn't say it clearly. But his life experience, in this group of big-headed soldiers, is indeed an amazing and heavenly existence.
He wants to take the lead, and he has to eat and live with those who are sick? It's incredible!
So, immediately, a small soldier shouted that I was willing to plant pox.
I'm willing to wait with the adults.
"Quiet!" Fei Jiu raised his hand.
"Each battalion sent one person to watch the pox, and the other below only sent those who had official positions, and called the soldiers below." Fei Jiu said.
There are too many people who want to come and see.
In the end, more than 30 people were selected, all of them small soldiers, the oldest was forty years old, and the youngest was only ten years old.
They huddled together next to each other, anxious to see how to grow pox.
"This is Imperial Physician Mei, the doctor of the Imperial Hospital, and now he is discussing the matter of pox with your military doctor Fan Langzhong." Sunan Cheng Road.
This Fan Langzhong is also a genius, he was a wandering Langzhong in his early years, he read a lot of books, but he saw more diseases.
Originally, Imperial Physician Mei was worried that he would not be able to convince him, but the old man saw it more clearly than Imperial Physician Mei.
The biggest problem for Dr. Mei is whether cowpox can be used by people, but Fan Langzhong said: "The diseases on poultry and livestock can also be passed on to people, so in this way, the pustules on the livestock can also be used." The method that your teacher said is indeed more intense and difficult to control than this. The sick cow was much less ill. β
"And if it's not a disease, then it's okay for people to use it."
After discussing it, the doctors came up with a solution.
Of course, Su Nancheng provided a lot, mainly because he cut the cross flower on his arm and put the dried pustule powder in it.
"It will get sick within three to five days, and then it will gradually heal. Then he will never suffer from the disease again for the rest of his life. Then the ruler went and dwelt with the sick. Sunan Cheng said.
"My lord, this is too dangerous, let's call the death row prisoner to try it first." Niu Sandao.
"Time is tight, the death row inmates started trying yesterday, and they are all on the side of Xiongshan County. However, since this official is a Qincha, of course he can't back down. Su Nancheng said with a smile.
"My lord, I would like to follow you." Horses and roads.
"Humble duty too."
"Good. Then pick a few of our brothers together. Su Nancheng smiled.
One of the big soldiers who came to observe also raised his hand: "Adult, the villain is also willing to plant pox at this time, is it better to plant it early, and I will never be afraid of smallpox in the future?" β
"Yes, but I'll be honest with you, this pox is not 100% safe. If you can't get out of these thousand people, you will have to die one or two. Su Nancheng said with a smile.
When the man heard this, he was not afraid: "The little one is willing." β
This time, a large number of people said yes.
Su Nancheng smiled, people today don't understand so much scientific knowledge, but as long as someone leads them, it is not difficult to speak.
In particular, this is a barracks.
The rest went very well.
In the first batch, in addition to Su Nancheng and the four generals, there were ten people from the city defense battalion and ten people from the observation group. Twenty-five people were all inoculated with cowpox by Dr. Mei himself.
At first, there was nothing to do, and Su Nancheng dictated and asked Imperial Doctor Mei to write down the method of recuperation.
It's nothing more than to eat enough, sleep enough, don't get cold, but don't be stuffy without breathing fresh air.
And then under the limited living conditions, pay attention to hygiene.
Later, everyone was watching and waiting.
Because Su Nancheng said that he would get sick in three or five days, so three days later, when he got sick and had acne, although everyone was frightened, they were not in chaos.
The high fever and acne all over his body made Su Nancheng very uncomfortable, but he drank the medicine prescribed by Mrs. Mei, that is, some of the ones that lowered fire and cleared the liver.
Try to eat as much as possible every day, boil it slowly, and after four or five days, the acne gradually disappeared, and he controlled it well, so there was no scar.
This illness still made him lose some weight, and he became a little weaker. But this also has something to do with the fact that he galloped from the capital.
It's so tiring......
As Sunan Cheng and the others got better, the people in the camp were surprised to find that these adults were all fine, and none of them had an accident.
It was also smooth, twenty-five people, and there was really no accident.
Even the dozen or so death row inmates in Xiongshan County did not die.
After all, in order to convince the people in the camp, Su Nancheng really made people watch him get pox, and after the onset of the disease, he also made people look at him with a rash.
Of course, there are people who don't believe in what era, and there are always conspiracy theories.
But the vast majority of the big-headed soldiers believed it, and they were not even in a hurry to wait for Sunan Cheng to live with the patients, and now they were going to get pox.
Before Sunan Cheng came, many smallpox patients died. How can it be so easy for them to get sick? How can it be so fast?
Twenty-five people were seeded with pox, all of them survived, and Sunan Cheng is now in the army like a fairy possessed.
The soldiers just want to hurry up and get it quickly, and then hurry up, where else do they care?
Sunan Cheng was very satisfied with the result, but still fulfilled his promise to live in a tent with the sick person.
