Regarding the plague, Grisha's face didn't look as calm as Qian Wubing's eyes at the moment.
Not to mention the ancient plague that took away almost a quarter of the population of ancient Rome, in the last century, she learned that there had been four major plagues in Europe, taking away countless lives.
.This kind of plague is very strange. Sometimes it breaks out, but it does not necessarily have a high mortality rate. The plague only takes away a small number of people's lives, just like the plague occasionally shows some kindness, but next time
Once it breaks out, it may reveal its extremely vicious true face. Everyone infected is equivalent to receiving an invitation from the God of Death and will undoubtedly die.
What's even more terrible is that this plague ignores the dignity and poverty of the world. It treats everyone equally. This is also a huge panic for the royal family. So far, the treatment that Grisha has learned about this
The only way to plant the plague is high temperature and fire. It seems that this is the only way to kill the disease. Among all professions, only blacksmiths are the luckiest, because they deal with iron furnaces, even to avoid the coming plague, every time
When the plague was raging, a large number of people turned to this profession.
The reason why it is said here - this kind of plague is because Qian Wubing's symptoms are the same as what Grisha learned about the initial symptoms of those who contracted the plague. Qian Wubing said an ancestral legend.
The secret recipe had already made Grisha a little skeptical. At this time, she heard Qian Wubing say that if it was effective, he would give her the method to treat the plague. Although there was no guarantee that this method was correct at the moment, she still
Very happy.
Facts have proved that the last doubt in her heart was completely unnecessary. Four hours later, Qian Wubing took the second set of decoction and actually started to have an appetite. Mu Siniang, who had not worked in her old business for a long time, almost
, actually cooked himself and cooked a pot of thick ginkgo porridge for Qian Wubing. Seeing Qian Wubing, served by Zhu Yunniang, eating everything she made with her own hands, this person was cold all the time.
The girl with a smile on her face finally showed a little smile.
This "ancestral secret recipe" is indeed effective!
Even though it was still a while before dawn, Qian Wubing finished eating and had already begun to deal with the matter of the fleet that was almost paralyzed for a day and night because of his collapse.
First of all, of course, he asked the medical officer to go to each ship to prepare the medicine for his "ancestral secret recipe". He set up a large iron pot, mainly using isatis roots and various auxiliary medicines, and threw them into the big pot one by one, boiling the pot.
The decoction, no matter whether it is a person who has symptoms or not, each person must drink a large bowl of decoction before three meals. Qian Wubing was worried that the medicine was not powerful enough, and even issued a death order, at least to
Prepare enough decoction for the entire fleet to drink for seven days.
People on the shore, Qian Wubing will naturally not forget that Mu Siniang will take a medical officer and prepared medicinal materials to Yanjiu, and the soldiers there will take the same decoction for seven days as the people on the ship.
As for Xu Qianqian, Qian Wubing can't control that much. It's impossible for the fleet to only carry isatis root without other medicines. If he doesn't use enough, he can just give them the prescription and let them rely on themselves! Maybe,
There is still time for them to buy these things from these Luzon people!
When Mu Siniang led the people ashore, it was when the sun was rising. Yan Jiu was indeed happy to see her. Xu Qianqian, who came early in the morning to discuss sending troops with Yan Jiu, also saw her.
Very pleasant.
Although he really wanted to ask the fleet what happened first, Yan Jiu was always reluctant to speak in front of Xu Qianqian, so he had to follow Mu Siniang's instructions and have people set up an iron pot and put Mu first
The soup that Siniang brought was boiled.
As for Xu Qianqian's plan to dispatch troops, it was immediately strangled to death by Mu Siniang's words: "Our commander has said that of course he has concerns about this matter. Don't be impatient. It's just a few thousand dollars."
Clown, crushing them to death will not be much harder than crushing a bunch of ants. If you are impatient and lose more of your soldiers for no reason, that is not the way to use military force! If Governor Xu insists on having his own way, this Luzon matter will
We can’t interfere anymore!”
Come on! After saying these words, Xu Qianqian completely withered. He was really setting a big banner. Why he couldn't beat these Spaniards in the past few years? It wasn't because he didn't have strong support. If it was because he was stubborn
, if you force your own reinforcements to stand aside, the results may not be much different from the previous few times. Commander Qian is also right. Anyway, he will win, and fewer people will die, which is naturally good. Those Spaniards
and his minions, let them live a few more days! Xu Qianqian comforted herself like this.
"Our fleet has not prepared many of these herbs. Governor Xu may be able to find more!" Mu Siniang handed him a piece of paper: "This is given to you by your Excellency. Please keep it carefully and follow the instructions above."
, your people should be like us, drink three times a day, a big bowl each time, this matter right now is much more important than killing the enemy!"
"But what if the Spaniards are unwilling to accept their defeat and try to retake the port? Shouldn't we fight?"
Mu Siniang pointed coldly at the fleet behind her and stopped talking. However, Yan Jiu knew what Mu Siniang meant and explained: "Our fleet did not bombard this place on the shore the day before yesterday because we were afraid of accidental damage."
We have captured your people. Now that the port is occupied by us, the Spanish city cannot be reached by the artillery of our fleet. Isn’t it possible that our fleet can’t reach this port? It would be better if they come, and we don’t need to do anything.
, the hungry artillery pieces of our fleet have already dealt with them!"
Is Xu Qianqian's worry justified? Yes! Is what Yan Jiu said justified? Still yes! Of course, this choice lies in Antonio's hands.
It is a pity that Antonio is not thinking in this direction at all at this moment. He is worried about the mob here at the port that he will lead his troops to attack, and he is also worried about the mob at the port coming to attack his fortress!
The night before yesterday, he did not put any of the defeated troops that retreated from the port into his fortress. These low-life guys can only be used as cannon fodder. How can they fight with the noble Spanish soldiers in the fortress? Besides,
Now, whether it's space, food, or ammunition, he only prepares it for his own people, not counting those guys outside.
Of course, after the initial panic, his bloody methods suppressed some of these indigenous troops with unrealistic ideas, but he did not intend to give up on them, even though some of them fled to no one knew where in the night.
Went. After daybreak, when he sent people out of the city to gather these people, he still gathered close to 2,000 people. Since these people are to be cannon fodder, they must have the consciousness to be cannon fodder. The fortress is the last position to defend Luzon.
, before that, he still needs them to continue to work hard for him.
What he didn't expect was that his decision led to some unfortunate things starting to happen.
After the soldiers who left the city returned to the fortress, a strange disease began to spread in the fortress. In just one day, almost half of the soldiers had the same symptoms, including dizziness, headache, soreness in muscles and joints all over the body, extreme fatigue, and
At the same time, he was also accompanied by nasal congestion, runny nose, cough and other conditions that made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
He was someone who had experienced a plague outbreak. In his hometown, he had seen with his own eyes that people in such a situation suddenly fell to the ground and died while talking to others or even going out to buy things. These soldiers were still young and had not experienced
Such a thing has happened, but how come he didn't know about it.
Will a plague break out in this far east? The answer to this question seems to be no longer doubtful.
He still remembered the method of preventing and controlling the plague in his hometown. In such a hot weather, two large braziers were lit in his room. Moreover, even his adjutant could only wait at the door of his room to wait to convey his message.
At this time, he was ordered to lead troops to attack the port. All I can say is, classmate Xu Qianqian, you are really overthinking!
He also tried to warm himself up with a fire to make himself better as a soldier. Unfortunately, he could not express his reasons for doing so. In such a hot weather, even a sick soldier was unwilling to stay in the fire.
In front of the pile, the soldiers disobeyed their governor's orders, or in other words, they violated their governor's orders in secret.
The consequence of this was that on the fourth day, before the mob came to attack the fortress, non-combat attrition had already occurred among his soldiers. People of this era did not have such and such antibodies in their bodies.
Where does the resistance to the influenza virus come from? It’s almost zero. Think about it, even Qian Wubing, who has been practicing martial arts for more than ten years since he was a child, is not in bad shape. People like him are being affected by this.
After being defeated by the disease, how long can Antonio's ordinary soldiers resist?
Panic spread in the fortress! Thinking of Antonio's strange behavior in the fortress, rumors that a plague was breaking out in the fortress spread like wildfire!
Soldiers who are not infected want to leave here, no matter where they go, as long as they leave this place, even if they are deserters, I am afraid they will admit it at this moment. Regarding the plague, these young soldiers have a common understanding, then
Even if it is infected, there is no way to save it, not even the priest can help.
It is a pity that outside the fortress, there are also mourners everywhere. The indigenous army, which is several times the number of their infected colleagues in the fortress, has tightly surrounded the fortress. Antonio's original intention is to make these indigenous troops become the first line of defense to defend the fortress. At this moment
But it has become an obstacle that prevents them from leaving. No one can guarantee that after passing through so many infected people, they can go out in good health. Compared with the risks outside, the risks in the fortress are relatively small.
At least, there is still their private space here, there is a priest, and there are even those medicines that the devil knows whether they work or not. Having these things is always better than not having them!
A plague broke out uncontrollably in Luzon on the third day after Qian Wubing fell ill!
