The urgent report from Liaodong has been sitting on Zhu Youjian's desk for several days.
Some of these urgent reports came from Jinzhou, some from Liaoyang, and some from Zhenjiang Fort of the Overseas Zhenfu Division, but without exception, they all said the same thing.
There is a big epidemic outside the customs!
Epidemics break out after the beginning of spring. Although this kind of thing is rare, it is not uncommon. Some epidemic diseases often break out suddenly after lurking for a winter, just after the weather gets warmer, catching everyone off guard.
The territory of the Ming Dynasty was so large that news of various epidemic diseases spread to the capital from all directions almost every year, and then to the cabinet and Zhu Youjian's hands, and then they were replied layer by layer. Sometimes,
The reply also brought money and food that had been donated by officials who had gone to the affected areas.
The outbreak of plague, treatment and relief, and the end of the plague were almost commonplace in the Ming Empire.
Even if the plague caused some losses, whether in terms of population or property, the huge Ming Empire could afford it. Of course, this does not mean that everyone is used to the plague and is used to such frequent outbreaks of plague.
On the contrary, both the court and the people, officials and ordinary people, deeply hate things like plague.
However, this time the epidemic broke out very well!
Anyway, when Zhu Youjian looked at the urgent reports on his desk, he was in a very happy mood. Sometimes when he was tired from reviewing memorials, when he would stretch his legs and bend over for a while, his eyes would glance over the urgent reports, and he would look at them again.
He couldn't help but pick up these urgent reports and take another look at them. Then he would feel as if his whole body was relaxed and he was not as tired as before.
The disease broke out in Tartar territory, which is of course a good thing.
There were several urgent reports, but the one from Zhenjiang Fort was the most detailed. On weekdays, the one Zhu Youjian read the most was Jiang Wan's.
In Jiang Wan's urgent report, he not only elaborated in detail the horror of the plague that broke out in the Tartar territory, but also wrote down his methods for dealing with the plague on paper and sent it to him.
Not only that, while sending this urgent report to the imperial court, he also forwarded these contents to the generals of the Ming garrison outside the pass.
Several other emergency reports corroborate with this one, and it is also revealed that the generals outside the customs have not yet become pedantic. They have adopted almost the same method as Zhenjiang Fort to deal with this plague.
.
Subsequent emergency reports also proved that this method was still effective. Within the Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence, there were only a few sporadic outbreaks of small plagues, and most places were safe and sound.
"Why does he know how to prevent and treat epidemics? Apart from giving birth, is there anything else he doesn't know how to do?"
Zhu Youjian murmured to himself that after receiving this emergency report, he immediately summoned several national doctors from the imperial hospital and asked them whether Jiang Wan's method was effective, and the imperial doctors almost did not hesitate.
I am sure that this method is correct, but it is easy to propose this method. If everything in this method is implemented, everyone obeys the command, and those who implement the ban are decisive, then it will be another time.
Something happened.
Sometimes, the solution to a problem is right in front of you. Everyone knows that as long as you follow this method to solve the problem, you will definitely succeed, but in the end it will still fail. Therefore, sometimes natural disasters are not just natural disasters.
Sometimes natural disasters are also man-made disasters.
As long as there are people involved and people are executing, there will be variables, and human nature is the most unreliable thing.
"Someone has repeatedly reminded me that once this kind of plague spreads in densely populated towns, it will be a catastrophe. Moreover, this kind of thing is not just hearsay. This person said that in the countries where the Francois are located, this kind of plague
The plague once broke out in a pandemic, killing millions and tens of millions. I want to know, is it possible for this kind of thing to happen in our country, the Ming Dynasty?"
"Once a nuclear plague breaks out, it will indeed cause heavy casualties, but because it develops so quickly, even if the infected people escape, they won't be able to get very far!"
The imperial doctor was an old Chinese doctor with rich medical experience. He thought for a moment and immediately answered the emperor's question: "So, my opinion is that if the nuclear plague breaks out in our Ming Dynasty, the harm will not be great, it will be nothing more than
It’s just a matter of sealing off a city or a place, and as far as I know, this kind of plague has never happened before in history!”
"In that case, I don't have to worry too much!" Zhu Youjian was in a good mood. Yes, the Ming Dynasty's advantage was its vast territory. If the Tartars were a bigger place, there would be no place to hide when the plague spread.
"However, your Majesty cannot take it lightly!" The imperial doctor was saying seriously: "According to my minister's advice, knowing that this kind of plague is breaking out outside the pass, your majesty should strictly guard against it. No one is allowed to enter the pass, not even the officers and soldiers of the imperial court.
Wait until the plague has passed before resuming exchanges with people outside the customs, so as to ensure that the Ming Dynasty will not be disturbed by this epidemic!"
"I have already made such a decree!" Zhu Youjian said proudly: "In fact, you are the second person to give me such a suggestion. Someone already reminded me as soon as the plague broke out.
!”
His face darkened slightly: "This person also said that the capital of my country, Beijing, is also full of hidden dangers. If we are not careful to deal with it, I am afraid that this kind of plague may break out like the Tartars. I know he is not alarmist, too
From now on, the hospital must be prepared to nip the disease in the bud. Once this kind of plague breaks out, how to isolate people, how to treat people, and how to deal with the infected and the dead must all have corresponding regulations in place. I
I don’t want to be in a hurry when the time comes, and before the Tartars come to attack, I will be in chaos in my own country!”
"According to the decree, after I return, I must order the Taiyuan Hospital to prepare for the response!"
"In addition, I plan to issue a decree to rectify the epidemic situation in Beijing. This errand will be carried out by your Imperial Hospital. Jin Yiwei and Bingma Division, as well as the Shuntianfu Yamen, will cooperate with your Imperial Hospital!"
"Ah!" The imperial doctor was stunned. Jinyiwei and Bingmasi had already cooperated with the Imperial Hospital of Shuntianfu Yamen. This kind of thing has never happened since the beginning of the world. Except when they are sick, the guys in these places will think of the Imperial Hospital.
When people come, you can't see their figures anywhere on weekdays.
Although everyone is very polite when meeting the imperial doctors, the imperial doctors know clearly in their hearts that as long as people are afraid that they will suffer from three or six diseases, it is normal to be polite to the doctors, but that is a personal interaction.
, there is a world of difference between cooperating with the yamen and the yamen.
"Your Majesty, what are the specific things that Taiyuan Hospital is going to do with this rectification...?"
The imperial doctor was asking cautiously. He really couldn't figure out what kind of errand it was that required the leadership of his imperial hospital and the cooperation of so many powerful yamen, which made him feel panicky.
"Uh..." Zhu Youjian paused for a moment: "It's not a big deal. The main thing is to clean up all kinds of filth in the capital, and remove mosquitoes, rats and other filth in a large area. To put it simply, it is to clean up the capital.
After a while, by the way, this matter needs to become a long-standing practice and must be done every year!"
