"Oh? Doctor Shao, why do you want to see you, Marshal?" Shangguan Ziqi said as he was about to walk towards Doctor Shao.
"Marshal, please stay." When Doctor Shao saw Shangguan Ziqi approaching him, he stepped back.
Seeing him like this, Shangguan Ziqi had to stop.
"Tell me, what do you want to see you, Marshal?"
"Marshal, I have discovered a disease spreading from the prisoner camp, and it needs to be dealt with immediately." Doctor Shao did not dare to say what disease it was, but his serious expression told Shangguan Ziqi that he was serious.
"What disease?" Shangguan Ziqi frowned.
"Smallpox." Doctor Shao did not say it out loud, but used mouth shape.
He was afraid that if he spoke too loudly, the news would spread too quickly and destabilize the morale of the troops.
"What did you say?" Shangguan Ziqi rushed to Doctor Shao and grabbed him by the front of his shirt.
"Marshal, please stay away from me. I have come into contact with those people. It doesn't matter if I die, but you must not be in any danger." Doctor Shao almost cried as he pried open the chessboard with all his strength.
Shangguan Ziqi then let him go.
"Hurry up and tell me."
"Marshal, some people in the prisoner camp have suddenly developed fever these days. Then our own soldiers also developed high fever.
Good morning, I have found that several people have rashes on their foreheads, hairlines, and cheeks. I have determined that this is smallpox. Please make a decision as soon as possible, Marshal."
Doctor Shao ran away after saying this.
He was in such close contact with the Marshal, and he wondered if he had already infected the Marshal. He had already prepared for death when he came to report.
On the day the city was captured, he was assigned to treat the wounds of the prisoners.
There are more than 10,000 people and he is just one doctor, so his workload is huge.
The captives could have been killed directly, but the Marshal did not do so. He said that he would keep them and let Canglan use money to redeem them during the negotiations later.
Just give him some porridge to keep him alive.
It took him three days to treat all the injuries, and some of those who could not be treated died from excessive blood loss.
But as captives, no one showed mercy to them.
But those fevers broke out all over the body, so he had to ignore them.
As a result, he discovered such a serious matter. He was so anxious that he did not dare to delay for a moment and went directly to report it to the commander-in-chief. He avoided people all the way because he was afraid that shouting it out directly would disrupt the morale of the troops.
When Shangguan Ziqi got the news, he immediately called several commanders and notified them to find out all those who had contact with the prisoners, and then to round up all those with fever in one camp.
He also ordered the city gates to be closed immediately and no one with the surname Zhou was allowed to enter the city.
Check all the military camps outside the city.
Fortunately, not all the soldiers were allowed to enter the city, only one third of them camped outside the city.
When the generals learned that smallpox had appeared in the military camp, they all acted quickly.
After making all the arrangements, Shangguan Ziqi took a deep breath.
"Prince, the Crown Princess has vaccinated us. Do you think that if we vaccinate all those who have not been infected, we can prevent the spread of the disease?" Qingfeng looked at his master with a worried look on his face and made a suggestion.
Shangguan Ziqi was thinking about this question.
I'll have to trouble Madam again with this matter.
Why!
"Now that you have all been vaccinated, go and investigate how this smallpox broke out and whether it is an enemy conspiracy.
If this was a conspiracy by the enemy, then there must have been people who had smallpox among the prisoners, or someone had deliberately contracted smallpox to participate in the battle and be captured by us on purpose. "
Shangguan Ziqi thought about this possibility and his face turned so dark that ink could drip out of it.
If it was really the enemy's plan, he would make them pay a heavy price.
This is totally unscrupulous.
Treat human lives as ants.
Qingfeng investigated and found out the result on the same day, just as Shangguan Ziqi guessed.
Among the prisoners of war, ten soldiers were arranged to stay in a room with a sick man for two hours before the battle, and then they were arranged to stay in the city as prisoners.
The promise was to give each of their families fifty taels of silver, and that after they were redeemed they could enter the imperial city and serve as palace guards.
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk; this is a great undertaking, and they should not be willing to do it.
Only now did they realize that the patient in the same room with them was a smallpox patient.
At that time, the man had not yet developed a rash, and they didn't know anything about it. They only knew that he had a fever.
Everyone was afraid of death. When they found out that they had smallpox, they realized that they had been deceived by their superiors.
This means they are already treated as dead.
Shangguan Ziqi was so angry that he sighed to the sky.
Now that things have come to this, we can only find a way to solve the problem.
He had no other choice but to ask his wife to come forward.
He immediately wrote an urgent letter of eight li to Beijing to report to the emperor.
But it keeps raining.
A few days after he sent the letter, some of the people he had taken back to the city had already returned, and smallpox broke out among them.
Shangguan Ziqi was so angry that he wanted to attack Canglan Kingdom right away.
In just two days, Yu Yuanzheng received the urgent letter from Shangguan Ziqi and the urgent letter from Ba Li together.
This news caused an uproar in the entire capital.
Yu Yuanzheng hurriedly went to look for Princess Wei.
"Mother, my daughter-in-law must leave as soon as possible." Yu Yuanzheng didn't expect the Canglan Kingdom to be so cruel.
This is an attempt to wipe out all the Wei border soldiers.
This is inexcusable.
"Tuo, pack your things and leave immediately. Take as many people as you can in the mansion with you. I know you need help. Go to Prince Jing's mansion to find your stepmother and ask her to send more people to you."
Yu Yuanzheng didn't even have time to say a few words to the children, just told them to listen to their grandmother and not to act naughty, and then started to collect the things they needed.
Chunlei went to Prince Jing's mansion to ask for someone.
Prince Jing took away some of it, but not all of it.
When Princess Jing heard what Yu Yuanzheng was going to do, she immediately assigned all the people she could, a total of thirty people.
While the emperor was still furious in the Golden Palace, Yu Yuanzheng had already set off with dozens of able-bodied men from the Rong Prince's Mansion and the Jing Prince's Mansion.
First, go to the princess's farm outside the city and look for Mr. Yang.
The head resident of Yangzhuang has always raised the cow and treated it as a treasure. The strange thing is that the cow is gone now.
Upon asking, I found out that it had given birth to another baby, so it had contracted cowpox again.
All the able-bodied men who had not been vaccinated were treated with cowpox, and they set out immediately without waiting to observe their reactions.
It would take at least ten days to reach the border without stopping.
That's plenty of time for them to absorb the rash.
After leaving the capital, Yu Yuanzheng disguised himself as a miracle doctor.
It is more convenient to wear men's clothes. I guess she will stay in the military camp for a long time.
When they were still a few miles away from the border, Yu Yuanzheng stopped.
This is the border, and it only takes a day or two to get there by express road.
"My brothers, now you listen to my instructions.
Now you will be divided into groups of four, spread out and go to different places to look for cowpox infected cows.
Generally, cows or cows that have given birth to calves are most likely to get cowpox.
Each of you has a token from the Rong Palace and the Jing Palace. With your identities, you can ask the local county magistrate or town mayor to help you find the cow.
You have all seen before how I took the cowpox juice.
Put the dried fruits into porcelain bottles, and send them to the border with ice. The more the better.
I'll be waiting for you to bring me something in the barracks.
Time is of the essence and there can be no mistakes.
All the way towards the border.
Keep it secret, don't let anyone know what you use it for. If Canglan finds out, they will hold you accountable.
Remember?"
Yu Yuanzheng made arrangements.
