I am one year older than Chongzhen

Chapter 239
Epidemic prevention is urgent. Fortunately, many were seized. Thousands of horses, cattle and sheep were seized. There were more than 1000 cows in the camp, and more than [-]% of them had cowpox.

This kind of pox virus has nothing to do with cows. It should be similar to the few pimples that people occasionally grow.

In order to resist smallpox, the ancients conducted a lot of research, and the Ming Dynasty has developed to intentional infection to obtain immunity.

The usual practice is to rub the nostrils of healthy people with powder from the scars of smallpox patients to try to infect them. This method is called variolation.

However, this method is too risky, and healthy people who are actively infected have a high rate of severe illness and mortality.

It's a pity that the Chinese failed to discover safe and efficient vaccinia.

Huang Yi didn't explain why. To be honest, Huang Yi didn't know why cowpox is so miraculous. What is the scientific reason?
He still used his authority to do it directly and personally instructed Zhang Dong, Huang Dazhi, Hu Xiaochuan, etc. how to distinguish cowpox and how to squeeze pustules.

The result was very good, no one hesitated, and everyone got busy.

It took a whole day for the Fuguan and senior officers of Zongqi Town to work together, and the entire camp, including the prisoners, was inoculated with cowpox.

The next day, Huang Yi sent Zhang Dong and Huang Dayong to lead 36 riders back to the base.

Their task is to mobilize grassroots cadres above the level of the farm town Fuguan and Baozhang in the base area to inoculate the entire population with vaccinia within three days.

Huang Yi also reminded them not to forget the hundreds of people in the crew.

If Zuo Fanglian, Ye Huiling, and Xiaojiu haven't come back, Huang Dayong will take a few people into the customs to look for them until they find all of them and complete the vaccinia vaccination.

The lethality rate of smallpox in this era was extremely high. According to legend, Lin Danhan and Duoduo died suddenly because of infection with smallpox virus.

It can be seen that well-nourished dignitaries do not have resistance.

Huang Yi couldn't help but think of Geng Zhanghua, and the two sisters Geng Yueru who hadn't passed the school yet.

So he wrote a letter assigning tasks for Huang Dayong to hand over to Ye Huiling and Zuo Fanglian.

Of course, this task is to let Zuo Fanglian and Ye Huiling learn to vaccinate all the members of the Geng family immediately after they learn how to vaccinate.

If the Geng family doesn't trust that no one will be willing to vaccinate, don't force it, but make sure that Geng Yueru and Geng Yueling complete the vaccination.

In fact, it was only Hedan Bateer's department who discovered that some herdsmen were infected with smallpox. So far, no cases have been reported in Xuanfu, so there is no need to be so impatient.

When parting, Huang Yi didn't talk about what to do if the Geng family refused to vaccinate, but just told Zhang Dong:
"Don't force yourself to go to Hedan Bateer's department, only cast spells on those who are willing to be loyal to the base and ask for it, and give them magical powers to resist the smallpox plague!"

"Understood, I believe Kaletu would be the first to swear allegiance!"

"Not necessarily, the gods once saved Hedan Battelle's life, he must believe in the gods even more."

"He is already Taiji of Ujumqin, will he swear allegiance to you?"

"I don't know, it's up to you!"

Zhang Dong originally wanted to ask for advice, but who knew that he was actually asked to act on the spot.

With such a heavy responsibility, Zhang Dong couldn't help but sweat.

Huang Yi patted Zhang Dong on the shoulder and comforted him: "It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to swear allegiance, anyway, his attitude will determine his fate!"

Zhang Dong understands, speaking with strength, the strength of Hedan Battelle is far worse than that of the base.

If Hedan Battelle does not express his surrender, there is no need to send troops to conquer the base.

As long as the Tumed Department, Chahar Department or Aohan and Naiman Department stand by and watch, Hedan Bateer will also be wiped out.

He said: "I will definitely explain the situation to Hedan Bateertaiji thoroughly, and try my best to win his allegiance!"

Huang Yi said: "Someone in Hedan Bateer's department has already been infected with smallpox, and it is absolutely possible for people who have received divine power to take care and treat them.

I will teach you some methods, and when you go back, remember the dean of the church, Li Yongtai. "

Zhang Dong's eyes were full of adoring little stars, and he sighed: "You can also treat the smallpox plague!"

"Success is not guaranteed, but with the method I taught, it is still possible to save seven or eight out of ten people infected with smallpox!"

"Cure is supposed to be like this, and it's impossible for a genius doctor who can rejuvenate well to guarantee that everyone will be cured well."

Forehead!Zhang Dong's opinion is very reliable!
Chinese medicine treatment is indeed guesswork. If there is no way to give you the right medicine, it will prescribe a prescription for strengthening your body and strengthening your foundation.

Anyway, improving physical fitness can definitely enhance immunity.

Huang Yi's method is also very simple, and it is also similar to enhancing the patient's tolerance.

He ordered Zhang Dong to tell Li Yongtai to prescribe antipyretic and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicine to the patient, and to feed the patient a large amount of warm boiled water.

Then the person who takes care of the patient will try to reduce the fever of the patient by means of physical cooling.

A lot of alcohol has been produced in the base area. Use cotton balls dipped in alcohol to wipe the patient's feet, palms, and armpits every hour or half an hour, and the fever-reducing effect is obvious.

Zhang Dong is the outstanding student among Huang Yi's students. He has mastered more than 1000 words. He listened carefully and took out his notebook and pencil to record.

Pencils are of course produced in the base area. This is not Huang Yi's invention. Daming already had something similar.

But the formula for the pencil lead was provided to the carpenter by Huang Yi based on the records in his mobile phone.

The main raw material of pencil lead is graphite. There are graphite mines in the base area, and a little digging is enough for mass production of pencils.

Zhang Dong is very smart, and Huang Yi doesn't need to play tricks in front of him, but to teach him scientific common sense and knowledge.

Vaccinia is the safest and most effective means of preventing smallpox that has been proven by history, with negligible side effects.

On the second day, less than 5.00% of the people in the camp felt unwell after being inoculated with vaccinia. Huang Yi announced in a high-profile manner that there was no need to panic and he would recover after a day or two of rest.

Huang Yi is the god in everyone's heart. He said that there is no need for treatment, just rest, and those who feel uncomfortable are immediately relieved.

Sure enough, after a day or two, no one felt tired or dizzy anymore.

During the three days of busy epidemic prevention, the camp hung up the exemption card, and the Jaisalmu, Subudi, etc. were anxiously turned around.

Although they wanted to destroy the stronghold directly, they couldn't do it at all, because Jaisalmu had experience.

He had attacked Hedan Bateer's camp last time, and that camp looked much simpler than Huang Yi's camp.

Even for such a camp, it is only effective after building nearly a hundred chariots and concentrating troops to attack a little bit.

Jaisalmu would have succeeded if reinforcements hadn't suddenly come from behind at a critical moment.

He gritted his teeth when he thought of the battle where he was attacked by surprise and lost a lot, wishing he could jump up and bite the general who led the surprise attack.

Therefore, a small half of the Jiannu and Karaqin coalition forces were busy cutting down trees to make chariots, and it was impossible to start the attack without completing [-] vehicles.

Who knew that it was just when Jaisalmu, Subudi, etc. resigned to their fate and built equipment to prepare for the attack.

The drums sounded like thunder, and Huang Yi personally led all the cavalry out of the camp to challenge.
