Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

Chapter 125 Guanzhong Plague

Guanzhong, Chang'an City!

Since sending troops to capture Chenliu Commandery and Henan Yin the year before last, Liu Zhang has not personally led troops to go out again.

In the past two years, he has stayed in Chang'an City, and the rebellion in the area has also been handed over to the generals to lead the army to counter the rebellion.

However, Liu Ye came to report on this day that a plague broke out in Guanzhong.

Liu Zhang was shocked.

This plague is the biggest population killer, and wars are not comparable to the plague.

And, most importantly, people didn't know how to prevent the plague, how to deal with it.

Liu Zhang immediately asked Liu Ye in detail, and only then learned that the plague had spread to fifteen counties in the three counties of Guanzhong.

"Mission 1000: Let the plague spread, and reward [-] Longxiang heavy cavalry."

"Task 1000: Stop the spread of the plague, and reward [-] Tiger Knights."

After being silent for so long, the voice of the strong army system finally appeared.

After thinking about it, Liu Zhang decisively chose task two.

Now the population in Guanzhong has finally increased to 200 million. If the plague is not stopped in time, the population in Guanzhong will drop sharply in a short period of time.

If the plague spreads to other states and counties, it will be even more dangerous.

Plagues occurred frequently at the end of the Han Dynasty. To prevent the spread of the plague, the first step was to figure out what type of plague it was and what its characteristics were before prescribing the right medicine.

Time is life, Liu Zhang has already made a choice, and he immediately said to Liu Ye: "Zi Yang, you immediately send people to these fifteen counties to investigate what kind of plague it is, and what symptoms it has, and report back in detail."

Liu Zhang thought for a while, and then said, "And immediately call the doctors in the Guanzhong area and order them to go to the plague-stricken area to help. My Da Sima Mansion will allocate the salary!"

"promise!"

The matter was of great importance, so Liu Ye immediately went down to do it.

After Liu Ye left, Liu Zhang was worried about the shortage of doctors in Guanzhong, so he ordered Xun Yan to write a transfer order, ordering Yizhou, Liangzhou and Bingzhou to send doctors to Guanzhong for reinforcements.

Three days later, Liu Zhang convened his subordinate officials in the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce.

"A plague broke out in Guanzhong a few days ago. I have ordered Zi Yang to investigate, and the results have been obtained. Let Zi Yang talk about the plague!"

Liu Ye stepped out immediately.

"Everyone, this plague came very quickly. Fifteen days ago, the plague first appeared in Meiyang County, Fufeng County, and then spread to Wugong, Maoling, Pingling, and Mei counties in just five days, and then spread to other counties within seven days. Ten counties, fifteen counties have had the plague so far. Infected people have fever, fatigue, headache, cough, and body aches all over the body. It only takes three days for the cough to be unstoppable. The symptoms worsen in five days and can be fatal in more than ten days. There are currently 200 dead!"

Liu Zhang pursed his lips when he heard this, and he already understood in his heart that this is just influenza.

This kind of plague is the most common plague, and it is very simple to treat it.

But when Liu Zhang looked at the crowd, he found that they all had bitter faces.

What is this!
"Why are you all so frowning?"

"My lord, this plague is spreading so fast that many doctors have no clue, so we can't do anything about it," Liu Ye said.

"If we don't stop it, the people in Guanzhong may die in large numbers!" Xun Yan also looked scared.

As the Xun family of Yingchuan, there are documents in his family that record the horrors of plagues in the past.

Hearing everyone speak one after another, Liu Zhang understood.

Influenza is relatively easy to treat in modern times, as long as you know the type.

But in the era of the Three Kingdoms, influenza was really a deadly plague.

Ancient times did not understand the cause of influenza and how it spread.

"How many people have been infected with the plague?" Liu Zhang asked Liu Ye.

"5 people have been infected!"

"What, so many people have been infected!" Liu Zhang was shocked, "How many doctors have been promoted in Guanzhong?"

"Three hundred and five people!"

"This is far from enough." Three hundred and five doctors were not enough at all. Liu Zhang asked again: "When will the doctors from the other three states come?"

"Bingzhou Liangzhou and Yizhou recruited 100 people, 80 people and 400 people respectively, and the fastest will take [-] days to arrive."

Liu Zhang was speechless. This doctor usually doesn't know how to ride a horse, so he can only be transported by a horse-drawn carriage, so the speed is much slower.

"Liu Ye, immediately order someone to continue collecting medicinal materials!"

"No!" Liu Ye nodded!
"The doctors from the other three states will arrive in fifteen days. We can't wait any longer. We must prevent the plague now."

Liu Zhang knew that everyone didn't understand the prevention and treatment of the plague, so he didn't explain too much.

"Immediately order all counties that all people are not allowed to drink raw water or eat raw food, and all food must be cooked before eating; immediately isolate the infection from others, and do not allow others to contact. If there is a large-scale infection in a certain county, send troops to block it, so that the people cannot be allowed to eat." Come in and out at will; all people who come into contact with infected people are not allowed to go out for five days, and report immediately if they are infected; then order the doctor to prescribe some prescriptions for treating typhoid fever, and whoever the prescription prescribed by the doctor works will be rewarded with [-] qian."

There are four items in total, all of which are easy to do, but some people don't quite understand the third item.

"My lord, these people are not allowed to go out for five days, I'm afraid it's inappropriate!" An official hesitated for a moment.

"What's wrong?"

"People don't go out, it's inconvenient to eat and drink!"

"Is life more important, or food and drink?" Liu Zhang asked without answering.

Seeing that the official stopped talking, Liu Zhang said again: "Anyone who has been in contact with an infected person must stay at home for five days without being infected before they can go out. If there is not enough food and drink, each county will send a special person to provide it, and the cost will be borne by each county! "

"No!" All the officials were speechless.

Liu Zhang's order was immediately spread to the fifteen counties affected by the plague.

All county magistrates and subordinate officials immediately implemented Liu Zhang's order and established isolation points, where all people infected with the plague were placed in isolation points to live alone.

County soldiers were dispatched to isolate the infected area, and the contacts were kept at home, and the number of infections in each county was reported daily.

After these orders were carried out, 5000 people were newly infected by the plague on the first day.

On the second day, 2000 people were added.

On the third day, 1000 people were added.

On the fourth day, 400 people were added.

Soon, the plague was brought under control, and fewer and fewer people were infected with the plague every day.

This kind of plague, as long as you don't contact with people and drink plenty of hot water, you will basically not be infected.

After controlling the plague, the second step is to quality the people infected with the plague.

Hundreds of people die every day, but the recruited doctors, under the pressure and rewards of Chang'an, have no choice but to treat the people on the front line.

The three hundred doctors were very busy every day, and soon the doctors from Bingzhou Liangzhou and Yizhou arrived one after another, and the situation improved.

Three months later, the plague in Guanzhong disappeared completely, and only more than [-] people died.

This was unimaginable before.

Because of a plague, usually over 10 people will die.

The harm of the plague was the main reason for the sharp decline in the population at the end of the Han Dynasty.
