Chapter 568: The Plague

The fighting stopped on the battlefield, but both Murong Jie and King Zhen knew that their battle lines had officially opened.

This was a battle between the main war faction and the main peace faction in Northern Desert, but the main peace faction joined Murong Jie, an outsider.

When King Zhen returned home, he said to the prime minister angrily: "Murong Jie, a country bumpkin, is too arrogant. In my territory of Beimo, he doesn't speak politely at all. Do you really think that this king dare not touch him? , he died without a place to bury him."

Prime Minister Fang was silent. He knew that Murong Jie was not considered crazy today. As the prime minister of Beimo and the leader of the main combat faction, he had naturally investigated Murong Jie.

This person's methods are not cruel, and he is not particularly ruthless, but he does things very well. He is a martial artist, but he is good at conspiracy and calculation, and the conspiracy is well arranged.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, when he was the regent, he vigorously punished corrupt officials with clever methods, and even the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have such methods and courage.

For an emperor, courage is very important.

"What? You also think that country bumpkin can make a splash?" Lord Zhen gave Prime Minister Fang a displeased look.

Prime Minister Fang tapped his thigh with his fingers, and said: "My lord, Murong Jie should not be underestimated, it is better to be careful."

"What can he do in my Beimo territory? You just want to boost other people's aspirations and destroy your own prestige." The king of the town said unhappily.

Mr. Fang shook his head, "No, my lord, what I said is not to make others ambitious. You just saw the expressions of Xia Zian and Murong Jie, right? They seem to have a plan for the epidemic. Once they cure the plague, then, He has a certain reputation in Beimo. Don't forget that General Qin Zhou's family is also affected by the plague. If Murong Jie and his wife save General Qin Zhou's family, will General Qin Zhou... "

Lord Zhen narrowed his eyes, which is something to worry about.

Qin Zhou is a person who attaches great importance to his family. If Xia Zian really developed a prescription to cure her family, she might really show some affection.

Women are really troublesome, and Qin Zhou must not be softened.

He thought for a while, grabbed the reins and stopped, and called the guards to come forward, "Is the person in charge here called Su Mu? You bring him to see the king tonight."

"Yes!" The guard replied.

Before Murong Jie went down the mountain, Zian finally confirmed his condition.

She had doubts before, but because of the short contact time and the extremely dangerous disease, she dared not make a conclusion casually.

However, she just saw a patient die in the west district, and she knew that her diagnosis should be correct.

There is absolutely no cure for this disease on her own.

"I hope I am wrong in my judgment. I suspect the plague."

"Plague?" Murong Jie had never heard of plague before, "You mean, it's a disease brought on by rats? Is it serious?"

"Records in the literature, all over the world...according to the literature records of several countries combined, there have been three large-scale plague outbreaks, and the total number of deaths is the total population of our countries." Zi'an said solemnly.

"So serious?" Murong Jie was taken aback for a moment, "Didn't you say it was just an ordinary virus before?"

"No, no," Zian looked worried, "I didn't dare to diagnose casually at that time, because I was not exposed to many infectious diseases, but after a few days of observation and medication, and the increase in the number of deaths, various symptoms Taken together, the likelihood of plague is high."

"Oh my god!" Murong Jie couldn't help being shocked, "So serious? Is there no way to treat this plague? How can this rat-infected disease be so severe?"

Hearing what he said, Zian can conclude that no plague has ever broken out in either Dazhou or Beimo.

This is a devastating infectious disease.

Plague can be transmitted through breathing, so the west area was isolated. Zi'an appreciated Su Mu's approach. If he hadn't divided the area earlier, more than half of the people in Muzhai would have died.

Of course, it doesn't mean that if you come into contact with a plague patient, you will definitely be infected, it depends on your resistance.

However, in general, it is extremely contagious and extremely dangerous.

There have been three major plague outbreaks in the world. The first one originated in the Middle East in the sixth century. At that time, almost all countries were infected, causing the death of 100 million people.

The second time, in the fourteenth century, also caused the death of a large number of people, no less than the first time.

The third outbreak originated in Yunnan, China, and spread to all parts of the world via Hong Kong in the middle of the nineteenth century. Within six years, there were reports of plague deaths in more than 60 countries. This time, the plague lasted for a long time. For a long time, the number of deaths, according to incomplete statistics, is between 13 million and 25 million.

This is a terrible disease, known as the Black Death.

Zian is not from the Department of Infectious Diseases, and has little research on infectious diseases.

However, even if there is research, it can be said that modern research on infectious diseases is almost useless here, because there are no modern medicines for plague here.

Zian knew some prescriptions for treating the plague, and he gave them to those patients in the past two days. The condition was slightly stable, but there was no sign of improvement.

It proves that these prescriptions are not completely able to cure the plague.

Moreover, even in modern times, most people with initial symptoms can be cured, but when the condition is serious, a large amount of antibiotics is required to treat it, and it is not 100% curable.

In ancient times, when medicine was backward, it was even more difficult to treat plague.

Moreover, from the perspective of control, it is also very difficult. After the earthquake, the corpses were not disposed of in time, and snakes, rats and ants gnawed on the corpses, resulting in a flood of epidemics.

"Then there is no way?" Murong Jie asked immediately after being shocked.

"For the time being, there is no good solution. We only hope that this time it is not a pandemic. Therefore, we have to inform the emperor of our Great Zhou to order him to eradicate rats and insects throughout the country, and prohibit people from Beimo from entering our Great Zhou territory. "

During the three pandemics, the plague broke out in some places, but none of them became popular, and the number of deaths was relatively small, which is well controlled.

Zian hoped that the source of the infection would be eliminated, otherwise, once the plague spreads, it would be devastating.

"I understand, I will go down the mountain immediately." Murong Jie knew that Zian would not talk nonsense, since she said it was the plague, it must be the plague.

"Are you going down the mountain? Hey, there's no other way. First drink the medicine and then go down the mountain. Try to avoid contact with people." Zian was actually terrified because she didn't have any medicine.

Zian asked the people in Muzhai to rush to make a lot of masks, and everyone had to wear them.

Moreover, a potion was prepared, and a large area of ​​the wooden village was sterilized and disinfected. All the dead bodies were burned, and the belongings of the dead patients were also burned.

Zian kept changing prescriptions, hoping to curb the spread of the disease.

When the plague broke out in the world, there was not much knowledge about the plague at that time, so a large number of people died. Zian hoped to rely on his own knowledge of the plague and his knowledge of Chinese medicine to prevent this plague from becoming a large outbreak of plague.

If God wanted to punish Beimo Emperor, it shouldn't punish the people. Moreover, once the plague spreads, it has no borders, and all countries will be affected.
