Chapter 54 Starting with the Prevention and Control of Plague

Li Yan did not suspect that Zhu Yu'ao was telling lies, nor did he ask to see the edict left by Chongzhen.

Because after a moment's thought, he realized that Chongzhen probably knew that Zhu Yu'ao had the magical power to travel to future generations, so it was entirely possible for him to appoint her as the supervisor of the country and entrust her with the important task of reviving the Ming Dynasty.

So after hearing this, he smiled and said: "Since the princess has been ordered by the emperor to be the supervisor of the country, it is only natural that she should go to Sichuan to take charge of the subjects of all parties."

After a pause, he continued: "However, it is not easy for us to lead our subordinates to leave the capital with His Highness.

If there is no suitable reason and King Chuang finds out and sends troops to intercept us, we may not be able to reach Sichuan."

Hao Guangming also discussed this matter with Zhu Aao.

Hearing this, Zhu Yusao smiled and said: "Although the sooner we go to Sichuan, the better, but we are not in a hurry. We can wait until the most suitable time to take action."

Li Yan said: "The timing mentioned by His Highness, is it when Da Shun Yu Yi Yi Shi is defeated and retreats from the capital in the future?"

Zhu Yuyao was very satisfied with Li Yan's intelligence and nodded, "Not bad."

Although Li Yan couldn't bear the thought that the Chuang army would be defeated by the Qing army in a stone's throw, he did not think about changing the outcome. He only sighed with a complicated mood: "That is indeed a good time."

Zhu Aaao saw that Li Yan still had feelings for Chuang Jun. After all, Li Yan had joined Chuang Jun for several years. He had put a lot of effort into Chuang Jun to get to where he is today. It was difficult for him to be free from worries.

Thinking of the things he learned from Hao Guangming, Zhu Yura said: "Master Li, there is no need to worry about Dashun's failure. Although Dashun's failure is difficult to change, there are some things that can be worked hard for."

After hearing this, Li Yan couldn't help but look at Zhu Aao in surprise.

Before, Zhu Yuyao didn't blame him for wanting to help Dashun, but she was concerned about Dashun's success or failure, and he was already very moved.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Aelao now wanted to help break into the army.

It should be noted that Chongzhen's death by hanging himself was ultimately caused by the invasion of the capital by the invading army. Li Zicheng and Dashun were Zhu Ainao's family and national enemies.

It is really admirable that Zhu Yuluo can not be influenced by hatred and choose to help the enemy appropriately.

So Li Yan bowed to Zhu Aao for the third time without saying anything, but his expression was obviously more respectful than before.

Zhu Yulao said: "This thing I am talking about is the plague - and the disease prevalent in the capital and surrounding areas today is called plague.

This disease originally only existed in grassland animals. However, due to successive years of drought and lower temperatures, small animals, mainly mice, from the north migrated south in large numbers, and the disease also spread to the Ming Dynasty.

For example, in this capital city, rats are the main spreaders of plague.

During a famine, many people would catch rats and eat them.

Secondly, rats have fleas, which also carry diseases. If fleas bite people, they will also transmit diseases to people.

Previously, everyone in the capital was in danger due to the raging plague. The army had besieged the city for several days. Now that they have entered the capital, many people may have been infected with the plague.

It's just that the plague has an incubation period, and depending on the type, the disease may appear after two or three days, or after seven or eight days.

I have noticed that among those infected with the plague in the capital, the latter type of plague should be the main cause.

In other words, in a few days, the first batch of soldiers who were infected with the plague may become ill."

After hearing Zhu Aao's words, Li Yan and Lady Hong felt their scalps go numb.

Because they came to the city with the invading army, and most of them were in the army, they only came into contact with the people after the capital was conquered.

But Rujun Dashun had just settled in the capital, and there were a lot of things going on. Li Yan, as the second auxiliary of the Chuangjun, even if he was suppressed by Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing, he had to deal with a lot of things on weekdays. He usually had at least one day walking in the city.

The soldiers of the team followed him around, but they really didn't notice the existence of the plague for a while.

But at this moment, I thought about it, there are indeed many people in the capital holding funerals, and many corpses are sent out of the capital every day for burial or cremation.

He originally thought that these people died of war and famine, but he didn't expect that the main reason was the plague!

When Li Yan was shocked and even a little panicked, Zhu Aona continued to talk.

"If Mr. Li is willing, he can inform Li Zicheng about the plague and take the power and responsibility of controlling the plague into his hands.

This will not only give the Chuang army more combat power in the future battle of one stone, but also help the people in the capital.

In addition, I still need your help for some things, and if you two manage the plague, they can cover it up well."

Hearing this, Li Yan came back to his senses and immediately calmed down, saying: "It's okay if you don't know about this plague. Since you know, I will definitely take care of it.

But I don’t know what His Highness needs to do? If it’s convenient, you can tell me now so that I can prepare early.”

"Look for people, save people." Zhu Yurao said concisely and authentically, "I want to know the whereabouts of the emperor's brother and his two younger brothers, and rescue them from the capital.

In addition, where is the maid Fei Zhen'e who was arrested with me earlier? I hope you two can rescue her."

After listening to Zhu Yuluo's words, Li Yan frowned.

He said: "To be honest, Dashun is also looking for three princes now."

Zhu Aao was surprised when she heard this, "They were not caught by Li Zicheng?"

Hearing this, Li Yan couldn't help but look over in surprise, and said thoughtfully: "Your Highness is saying that the three princes should have been in Dashun's hands?"

Zhu Yusao nodded, "This is indeed the case in history. Later, the Chuang army was defeated and the three of them were separated in the army. There is no definite news after that."

When she learned that Zhu Cixi and the others had not been caught by Li Zicheng, and there was no news about them, Zhu Aona didn't know whether she was happy or worried.

On the other side, Hao Guangming said: "Your father should have sent people to hide them among the people. If you really want to find them, you can ask Li Yan to take advantage of the air defense plague to look for them."

At this time, Li Yan said again: "It is convenient for you to rescue Fei Zhen'e - King Chuang ordered me to investigate your disappearance before. In order to facilitate the interrogation, after the military camp outside the city was moved into the city, I detained Fei Zhen'e.

In the camp of the lady’s personal guards.”

The red lady smiled and said: "There are all female soldiers in my personal guard camp. If you want to see Fei Zhen'e, I can take you there now."

Although Fei Zhen'e initially asked to accompany him to assassinate him, it was Zhu Aina who suggested the idea, so she always felt guilty towards Fei Zhen'e.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel happy, and immediately nodded and said: "Then I'll trouble the red lady."

The red lady waved her hand, "What's the trouble? To be honest, I liked Fei Zhen'e very much before.

If she hadn't been able to get mercy from assassinating King Chuang, I would have sent her into the personal guard camp as a soldier."

Having said this, Zhu Aela was ready to follow the red lady to see Fei Zhen'e.

Li Yan planned to first understand the plague situation in the city and then report it to Li Zicheng so that he could be targeted.

Zhu Yurao was reminded by Hao Guangming and told Li Yan how to prevent infection from the plague.

"Plague can be regarded as a virus, except that the virus can survive in various living objects and reproduce with its blood.

Therefore, whether it is people eating rat meat, or fleas biting people, or it is transmitted from person to person, the infection is actually through blood or saliva, or mucus in the affected area.

As long as you dress tightly enough, carry a flea-repelling medicine bag with scent, cover your mouth and nose, and avoid direct contact with people suffering from the plague, you can effectively prevent infection."

Zhu Ailao looked cautious when speaking.

If Li Yan was infected with the plague, although she could get medicine from Hao Guangming to try to treat her, the conditions in the late Ming Dynasty were so poor that it was unknown whether she could be cured.

Therefore, we still have to focus on preventing the plague.

After hearing this, Li Yan bowed to Zhu Aao for the fourth time and said, "Princess Gaoyi, I would like to thank the princess on behalf of the officers and soldiers of the Chuang Army and the people of the capital."

Zhu Aao sighed: "I am the princess of the Ming Dynasty, and I am supported by the people. This is what I should do, and I should not be thanked."

Li Yan couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, "If all the vassal kings thought like the princess, maybe the world wouldn't be so bad."

Zhu Ailao was silent.

She also learned about the affairs of the vassal kings and clans of the Ming Dynasty from later historical materials, and knew that the vassal king system had become a cancer of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other bandits have been wreaking havoc in various places for many years, and most of the Ming vassal kings and clan members were also killed.

Li Yan wanted to say something more, but the red lady gave him an elbow and said, "Didn't my husband say that he was going to investigate the plague situation? Why don't you go quickly?"
