Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 56
Li Zicheng has been a rogue for more than ten years, traveling around, and has been to many places that have been devastated by the plague. He knows how terrible the plague is.

It's just that he never expected that there would be a plague in the capital.

The key point is that he has brought the Dashun Army into the city for several days, and none of the officials of the Ming Dynasty who surrendered mentioned this to him!

"Damn it!" Li Zicheng loosened the collar of the little eunuch, his one-eyed eyes flickering fiercely, "Damn all these demoted officials from the Ming Dynasty!"

Apparently, the plague incident not only made Li Zicheng feel the crisis, but also made him feel contempt and insulted, and realized that Da Shun, who had been demoted from the Ming Dynasty, did not really trust him.

Niu Jinxing also realized the seriousness of the matter, and was afraid that Li Zicheng would ask him for advice, or even ask him to solve the plague, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, since Li Yan has come to report this matter, there must be a countermeasure, why don't you invite him in?" right?"

"Prime Minister Niu is right, Li Yan must have a solution." Li Zicheng said, putting one hand on his waist and waving the other, and said, "Speech Li Yan!"

Li Yan quickly came to the hall, and according to his previous habit in the army, he clasped his fists and saluted Li Zicheng.

As soon as Niu Jinxing moved his lips, he wanted to scold Li Yan, but thinking about the plague, Li Yan had to resist, so he restrained himself.

Li Zicheng didn't pay much attention, and asked directly: "How is the epidemic situation in the city?"

Li Yandao: "Today, I learned that there was a plague in Gyeonggi, so I randomly selected a hundred households in the city to inquire about the situation, and it turned out that all 43 households had plague patients.

Your Majesty, it can be seen that the disease situation in Gyeonggi is very serious.

The minister asked about the situation of the 43 infected people, and then asked the doctor, and learned that the disease was called plague.

It is mainly transmitted through the bites of fleas on rats and other animals, and can be transmitted from person to person through blood, saliva, and pus from patients.

In addition, after contracting the disease, the poison will lie dormant for two or three days or seven or eight days before onset.

Our soldiers and civilians in Dashun first besieged the city for a few days, and then lived in the city for a few days. I am afraid that many people in the army have been infected with the disease at this time! "

Li Zicheng frowned when he heard this.

He knew that the plague was terrible, but he didn't expect the plague in the capital to be so terrible.

If the Dashun army was like the people in the capital, with four to five out of ten people infected with the disease, I am afraid that even if he ascended the throne again in the capital, the Dashun country would be unstable.

Seeing Li Yan in front of him, and thinking of what Li Yan had said about the plague just now, Li Zicheng seemed to have grasped at straws, and asked anxiously, "Does Li Aiqing have any countermeasures for the plague?"

Li Yan said: "Although plague patients are not necessarily fatal, they are also extremely difficult to cure, so we can only focus on preventing infection and controlling the spread.

The minister has thought of a set of effective methods to prevent and control the spread of the epidemic, but it must be implemented with the cooperation of the subjects in the capital. "

Holding the handle of the waist knife, Li Zicheng took a few steps left and right, then stared at Li Yan with one eye and said, "Well, Li Aiqing is now appointed as the chief of epidemic control in Gyeonggi, so that everyone in Gyeonggi will cooperate in the prevention and control of the plague. Li Aiqing dares to take on this important task?"

"Why don't you dare?" Li Yan replied sharply, and then bowed his fists and said, "I, Li Yan, take the order!"

Li Zicheng squinted his one-eyed eyes first, then nodded and said, "Li Aiqing wait a moment, I'll have someone write a formal appointment edict for you."

Not long after, Li Zicheng asked someone to write the imperial decree and hand it over to Li Yan.

In this imperial decree, Li Zicheng not only appointed Li Yan as the chief of epidemic control in Dashun Gyeonggi, but also appointed the troops led by Hong Niangzi to assist, which can be said to have given Li Yan and Hong Niangzi considerable power.

Therefore, after Li Yan left with the imperial decree, Niu Jinxing couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, does Li Yan, the Chief Epidemic Control Officer in Gyeonggi, have too much power?"

Li Zicheng is not stupid to be able to get to this day. He already knew that Niu Jinxing and Li Yan were not on good terms.

It's just that he usually needs someone to restrain Li Yan, but now, facing the already serious plague, he doesn't want anyone to restrain Li Yan.

So he squinted his eyes and looked at Niu Jinxing, and said, "If Prime Minister Niu is also willing to prevent and control the plague, I can appoint you as the deputy director of epidemic control in Gyeonggi."

Hearing this, Niu Jinxing said embarrassingly, "I don't have the talent to prevent and control the plague, how dare I take on this important task."

It is true that he does not know how to prevent and control the plague, but in reality he is afraid of death.

To prevent and control the plague, there must be contact with the plague patients.

Niu Jinxing felt terrible just thinking about it.

···
"To prevent and control the plague in the capital, the first thing is to cut off the source of infection, or at least reduce the source of infection.

To do this, the first thing to do is to publicize, let the people know that the plague is transmitted to humans from fleas on rat-based animals.

Let the common people exterminate rats and not touch or cook sick and dead rats and other animals.

In addition, bathe frequently, change clothes frequently, and try to keep yourself and your home clean.

The discovery of dead rats or other dead animals and people should be reported, the discovery of plague patients or suspected patients should be reported, and the discovery of other sudden death patients with unknown reasons should also be reported. "

In the big tent of the army camp under the Red Lady, Zhu Yu was relaying the key points of plague prevention and control that Hao Guangming had found.

Apart from her, there are only Hong Niangzi and Li Yan in the big tent.

Outside the tent, Hong Niangzi's personal guards are on guard a dozen steps away.

Li Yan held a pen at his desk, writing vigorously.

Hong Niangzi showed a rare quiet side, quietly rubbing ink for Li Yan beside her.

"The second is to set up isolation camps. Three large camps can be set up to isolate soldiers, women, children, and men suffering from the plague.

The isolation camp needs to be supervised by the army, and the family members of the patients are not allowed to visit. They can only send the patients' meals to the outside of the camp and be transferred by a special person.

Whether it is the patients who died of illness in the isolation camp, or the corpses of animals or people who died of illness found in the city, they all need to be cremated by a special team. "

"Wait!" Li Yan suddenly stopped writing and interrupted Aimi Zhu's words.

"Young Master Li, do you think there is something wrong?" Aimee Zhu asked modestly.

Hao Guangming said before that the plague prevention and control measures he stated were summarized according to the modern background, and may not all be suitable for use in the capital city in the late Ming Dynasty.

Li Yanning raised her eyebrows: "Most people don't like cremation, thinking that cremation hinders reincarnation. If only the corpses of the sick and dead are required to be cremated, there will definitely be some sick and dead who pretend to be other causes of death and avoid cremation.

Now, since it is necessary to forcibly control the epidemic situation in the city, all the dead bodies must be cremated, so as to avoid someone taking advantage of loopholes and avoid the trouble of identifying the cause of death. "

"I think it's okay." Hao Guangming's voice came from the earphone.

Auntie Zhu nodded immediately, "I will follow Mr. Li's words."

After a pause, she continued to relay Hao Guangming's words.

"Thirdly, prepare special caps and gloves for plague prevention and control personnel. All plague prevention and control personnel need to wear caps and gloves when going out, and tie up the openings of trousers and socks.

Fourth, we should organize the people to do a good job of sanitation at home and in the city, and sprinkle more lime in the courtyard and along the street..."

Through Zhu Yuxi's recitation, Li Yan recorded one by one the main points about preventing the plague.

If it was in normal times, with the ability of the government in the late Ming Dynasty, it would be very difficult to implement these key points of plague prevention and control.

Although the Dashun Army is not as good as the modern professional team, it is an army that has fought for many years, and its organizational ability and efficiency are still there.

Even if it is difficult to fully implement these points, it is much better than Dashun in history who was ignorant of the plague and did not do any control.

In short, the people in Gyeonggi can survive the epidemic more.

After Li Yan obtained many key points of plague prevention and control from Aunt Zhu, he made overall plans for available manpower and material resources, and found that it was difficult to implement the measures for plague prevention and control only with the help of Hong Niangzi.

So Li Yan went to the palace to report to Li Zicheng, and asked to transfer Haierying to help.

The Haier Camp is called a camp, but it is actually an army, because it governs all the 14- to 17-year-old boys in the Chuang army.

Most of these teenagers are the adopted sons and adopted sons of the Chuangjun elites and generals. They are usually trained by the Chuangjun elites in combat skills. When marching, they are dedicated to propaganda and logistics. Or digging cities, scraping wall bricks, etc., can barely be regarded as an elite unit in the Chuang army.

Chuangjun invaded the capital, and recruited displaced teenagers into the camp as usual. According to Li Yan's knowledge, there are tens of thousands of children in the baby camp.

As the current leader of the Haierying, Li Laiheng brought the main generals of the Haierying to a large mansion next to the former Daming Tai Hospital soon after receiving Li Zicheng's order.

As soon as he looked up, he saw that a simple plaque had been replaced on the cooperative mansion - Gyeonggi Epidemic Control Office.
