The main officers and soldiers of Yao Chunyong's West Route Army are composed of the original officers and soldiers of Pi Island in Dongjiang Town, and these former Pi Island officers and soldiers are all survivors of the plague that broke out on Pi Island.

The disaster is still fresh in their minds.

It is possible that this frightening "Pimple Plague" broke out among the Tatars in Gushan Fort across the street. There is no need for the people sent from above to explain. They started to respond to the above countermeasures more actively than anyone else, and

Most of these former Dongjiang Town officers and soldiers became low-level and mid-level officers of the West Route Army. Even if their subordinates did not understand why the superiors were so aggressive, they suppressed these incomprehensible voices with a rough and tough attitude.

One can imagine the rough attitude in the military.

This caused the entire West Route Army to start moving in a very short period of time, using an efficient, accurate, and responsive machine. And Jiang Wan wanted this kind of efficiency and this kind of attitude.

Plague is the name of later generations, and plague is the name of the people. Jiang Wan also knew that the Black Death, which almost wiped out two-thirds of the European population, was also the same thing. But no matter what the name of this plague is, there are no antibiotics here.

In that era, this plague was almost a terminal disease.

Again, once you are infected, you will definitely die. It can take a few hours or three to five days. Anyone who survives the plague is definitely the illegitimate son of God and the reincarnation of a good person in ten generations.

reincarnation.

Therefore, Jiang Wan's only way to deal with it is to isolate herself.

In fact, even the word quarantine did not exist in the Ming Dynasty itself. The word "quarantine" that Jiang Wan knew evolved from the Italian word "forty days" in medieval Europe. This is also a black death sentence.

One of the few effective ways to deal with the plague was figured out by the survivors of the plague at the cost of countless lives. In some Italian cities, foreign ships had to wait forty days after entering the port before they were allowed to go ashore and enter the city, so that in later generations,

The word "forty days" evolved into "quarantine".

This method of dealing with leprosy in the Ming Dynasty is almost the same.

It's just that the Ming Dynasty's method was more cruel. In fact, it was not as cruel as the Ming Dynasty's method. The courts of all dynasties had done this. Once a "cancer" appeared in a certain place, the court would immediately send officers and soldiers to block that place.

If someone in a village is infected with the disease, the village will be sealed off. If someone in a county is infected, the county will be sealed off. Anyone who dares to disobey the orders of the officers and soldiers and come out of the affected area, regardless of their status, will be killed without mercy.

That was a true on-the-spot killing, and there was no humane touch.

This kind of blockade will last for several months, or even one or two years. Only after the plague in the blockade area has completely disappeared, or until all the people in the blockade area have died of the plague, will the court enter the epidemic area again to clean up the mess.

stall.

In fact, the probability of the plague disappearing on its own is slim to none. Most of the time, almost everyone in the blocked area is dead, and only a handful of people survive.

The general method used by the government to clean up the mess is to burn everything with a fire. Of course, those so-called survivors will definitely have no way to survive in front of the officers and soldiers. After a few decades,

After a hundred years passed, new people moved to this area again, and the plague that had once broken out completely disappeared from history.

Seven days!

What Jiang Wan knew was that there was no precedent for people who had been infected with the plague and survived for seven days. In other words, since he learned the news, he ordered the entire territory of Overseas Zhenfu Division to be sealed off. As long as he survived these seven days, he would basically be gone.

It is certain that there is no sign of a major outbreak of plague in our own territory.

However, if someone were to be infected in a certain area, the measures he would take would be no different from those of the previous dynasties. Even if he thought he understood the dangers of this plague, his measures might be more radical.

In the face of the plague, everyone is equal.

His grand plan to suppress the Fusi overseas must not be aborted just because of this little plague.

The same blockade order was also sent to Tieshan City. Although the officers and soldiers stationed in Tieshan City were not the original officers and soldiers of Dongjiang Town, and they had not experienced the plague outbreak on Pi Island, their response was no better than that of Gushan Fort.

Come.

They closed the city gate almost immediately, and even the officers and soldiers who had given the order and those who had come into contact with the officers and soldiers who had given the order were all detained in a separate room by them, and no one was allowed to leave.

Tieshan City took the initiative to cut off all contact with the outside world, and under Mei Xiaofei's order, the entire middle army also entered a state of high alert and self-blockade. Anyone who dared to provoke the middle army at this time, regardless of whether the opponent was a Tatar

, or the Koreans, will encounter the most violent blow from the middle legion.

Mei Xiaofei dared to give such an order. In addition to Jiang Wan's order, there was also Tang Ruowang's careful explanation of Jiang Wan's order.

Tang Ruowang knew very well how dangerous the Black Death was that ravaged Europe and took away countless lives. When he heard that the Black Death might have broken out among the Tartar army, he almost without hesitation made a series of suggestions to Mei Xiaofei.

As a person who paid little attention to things in Tieshan City on weekdays and only knew how to preach in his small church or study firearms in his workshop, just this attitude was enough to attract Mei Xiaofei's attention.

Already.

In addition to Tang Ruowang, there are also some craftsmen from Europe in the city, and some people have even transformed from mercenaries into officers and soldiers. Mei Xiaofei can really feel the panic that breaks out from these people.

As for the middle legion, their core territory is Tieshan City. As long as there are no problems in Tieshan City, then even if there is a big problem outside, it is not a big problem for Mei Xiaofei.

Even though some troops in the middle legion were confronting the Koreans at the moment, he couldn't care about that much at the moment.

"Mr. Tang, if this time goes on, Tieshan City may not be able to withstand it!"

In Tieshan City, Mei Xiaofei was a little worried. The incident happened suddenly, and the various reserves in Tieshan City were not enough. He was afraid that normal production would stop and the firearms in stock would not be shipped out.

"Master Jiang said it was seven days!" Tang Ruowang also looked solemn: "Although I don't know how Master Jiang came up with the date of seven days, but as far as I know from the church's classics, the people who were really infected with the Black Death were

It’s true that no one can survive for seven days, we can just maintain this for seven days!”

"There won't be enough food in the city for seven days!"

"There is enough food, but I am worried that the outside world will lose control. The North Koreans have been waiting for an opportunity to cause trouble. If they take this opportunity to cause trouble, people outside will not know how to deal with it, and it will not be good if they are laughed at by the superiors!

"

"I don't understand the war, but if the Koreans dare to make trouble at this time, just order the army to destroy them. Oh my God, everyone outside Tieshan City may be a patient infected with the Black Death.
Chapter completed!
