After all, even if Zhu Han kept a low profile, Li Shanchang already regarded himself as a monster. He was capable of literary and military skills, making plans, and training soldiers to calm the people. If he could cure diseases with medicine, he would be an absolute monster.
My elder brother, Zhu Yuanzhang, had never had such an idea. He only felt that no matter what ability his brother had to frighten everyone, he was still his own brother and a blessing from the virtues accumulated by eight generations of poor peasants in the old Zhu family.
"Then don't delay, come and have a look with us!"
Brother Zhu Yuanzhang urged from the side.
Soon, Zhu Han and the others arrived at a military camp in the city.
Dozens of sick soldiers were gathered here.
Many doctors and doctors who came in and out shook their heads at the many patients.
As soon as he saw Marshal Zhu Yuanzhang arriving, a white-bearded doctor immediately came up to greet him and said helplessly.
"Marshal, this old man's medical skills are shallow. This poisonous dysentery is really fierce. Several decoctions are ineffective. Marshal, please find another famous doctor as soon as possible."
"Doctor Li, you are the best in medical skills in Dingyuan City!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with some surprise.
Doctor Li shook his head and sighed: "Marshal, I am so ashamed!"
"Brother, let me go and take a look first!"
Zhu Han immediately started asking and checking.
After some comparison, it can almost be concluded that it is bacillary dysentery, which is highly contagious.
The disease is spread by Shigella dysenteriae through food and water intake, and the excrement of all patients is highly contagious.
Nowadays, the weather is hot, which is the period of high incidence of dysentery. Raw and cold food and water are very easy to spread dysentery.
Zhu Han asked Doctor Li again: "Doctor Li, do all the sick people in the city have the same symptoms as these soldiers?"
The white-haired Doctor Li nodded quickly and said: "Yes, they all have the same symptoms, vomiting and diarrhea, abdominal pain and blood in the stool, high fever and chills. These soldiers are strong and can hold on. There are already dozens of people in the city.
Sick to death!"
"Dozens of people died of illness?!"
Zhu Han didn't expect it to be so serious.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shanchang were also frightened. In just two days, dozens of people died, which is incredible!
Once it spreads, there's no telling how many people will die.
"People in the city are already panicking," Doctor Li said helplessly.
"Brother, do you have any idea?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked quickly.
Zhu Han nodded and said with great confidence.
"Brother, I happen to have a medicine that can cure your illness."
When Zhu Yuanzhang and others heard this, they immediately became happy.
Doctor Li was so excited that his beard trembled, and he stared at Zhu Han in disbelief, wanting to know what kind of medicine was so powerful.
However, Zhu Han did not immediately say what magic medicine it was.
"Actually, prevention is much more important than treatment for poisonous dysentery. If we don't deal with the root cause, it is extremely easy to relapse." Zhu Han said.
This type of bacterial dysentery will not lead to immunity after recovery, so prevention must be started.
When Dr. Li heard this, he immediately became energetic and thought to himself: "The miracle doctor Hua Tuo once said that preventing diseases is more important than curing them. This little general really has some insights!"
"Then what do you say, we will listen to you!" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said without hesitation.
Zhu Han then said: "Brother, our troops are divided into two groups. One group treats diseases and distributes free medicines to patients outside the city. The other group publishes notices that all feces in the city must be splashed with quicklime, and excretion at will is not allowed.
When eating raw or cold food, all drinking water must be boiled and allowed to cool before drinking."
Zhu Han talked eloquently about a long list of infectious disease prevention methods found in the Barefoot Doctor's Handbook, a sacred book of later generations.
Brother Zhu Yuanzhang quickly understood the key points.
"Understood, if you don't eat raw or cold food or drink raw water, we will issue a military order to restrict it!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said.
There are so many military orders in the rebel army that it is naturally very easy to implement them.
As for the prevention and treatment of the people in Dingyuan, highly respected medical doctors like Dr. Li are needed.
"This old man also understands that diseases come from the mouth and he cannot eat raw or cold food!" Dr. Li said, stroking his beard.
However, he was still hesitant about this suggestion. Whether he believed it fully or not would depend on Zhu Han's method of treating the disease.
Treating these dysentery diseases is simply too easy for Zhu Han.
After he returned to his mansion, he ordered his people to prepare more than 100 barrels of cold boiled water, and then diluted the oral antibiotics at a ratio of 1% of the dosage for future generations.
In other words, one pill of antibiotics taken by modern people is enough for 100 people at this time.
This is not a small amount. After all, there were no antibiotics in ancient times, and the human body did not have any resistance to antibiotics. This dosage is enough to cure the disease.
If it is an injection, the dosage will be less.
"Secretary Zhang, is this the magic medicine?"
Doctor Li and other Dingyuan doctors all felt doubtful about life when they saw more than a hundred buckets of clean water.
They tried all their medical skills but were unable to do anything, so Zhu Han brought out more than a hundred barrels of cold water to treat the disease?
"Yes, this is medicine. It is colorless and odorless. You can distribute it for free in medical clinics all over the city. To all patients, take a small scoop twice a day."
Zhu Han pointed to a small gourd with a small waist and said.
Old Doctor Li and others looked at each other. This small gourd gourd was only the size of a fist. It was too small for drinking medicine or gargling.
They had already begun to guess that Zhu Han and the Red Scarf Army were indeed White Lotus cultists who specialized in using talismans and holy water to fool people.
However, now we can only treat a dead horse as a living horse.
"I obey!"
Doctor Li and other doctors are all human beings. No matter how hard you believe it, you can only follow the instructions.
As buckets of antibiotic cold water were distributed free of charge in large and small medical clinics, people suffering from dysentery from every household came to ask for medicine.
Many people were rushed to the hospital due to a sudden illness, and many people drank the yellow paper and gray water, not to mention the potion issued by the Generalissimo's Palace.
No one had much hope at the beginning.
However, just an hour later, all the dysentery patients who drank the potion stopped having diarrhea and high fever, and many people woke up from the door of hell.
Everyone immediately realized that the potion distributed by the Generalissimo's Mansion really had miraculous effects!
After taking the medicine again, many people recovered completely. Although they were exhausted and weak, they no longer had any symptoms of poisonous diarrhea.
When Old Doctor Li and others saw this, they were both surprised and happy. They all expressed admiration for Zhu Han, the secretary in charge.
As long as he can cure diseases and save people, regardless of white lotus or red lotus, he is a miracle doctor.
Dr. Li and others went to the Marshal's Mansion overnight to report patient feedback from various medical clinics. A great plague that was originally extremely dangerous was completely eliminated in just one day.
Zhu Han was not surprised at all by this result.
The power of modern antibiotics is not too simple to treat minor dysentery.
Because the dosage of antibiotics after dilution is very small, Zhu Han’s antibiotic stockpile shows almost no loss.
When Dr. Li and the other doctors left, his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly laughed proudly.
