Across the heavens in the Red Mansion

Chapter 45

In the final analysis, the demise of the Ming Dynasty was not just due to land annexation and official corruption, years of wars, and the incompetence of several generations of emperors.It is also an important factor that the sky does not favor Ming Dynasty, and the long-term occurrence of the plague and the arrival of the Little Ice Age are also important factors for the demise of Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Chongzhen was a good emperor, but he was faced with such a mess, and the accumulation of previous dynasties was hard to recover. At that time, the world was famine, epidemics and diseases broke out, civil uprisings broke out in various places, and Huang Taiji in the north continued to attack.

In addition, Chongzhen was eager to seek treatment and was suspicious by nature. He did not trust Sun Chuanting very much, so he urged Sun Chuanting to send troops as soon as possible when his military equipment was uneven and his sergeants could not be reused.

If Sun Chuanting could have enough food and wages, enough armaments, and enough time to train his soldiers, Sun Chuanting might not be able to die in battle, and the Ming Dynasty might not die just like that.

The first battle between Sun Chuanting and Li Zicheng's army was successful. However, due to insufficient supplies for the officers and soldiers, "it rained heavily and food was not available. The soldiers picked green persimmons to eat, and were discouraged by the cold." As a result, they were unable to expand the results and were completely defeated.

After Jia Lang finished talking about the plague in the Ming Dynasty, he looked at Sun Chuanting's increasingly livid face. Sun Chuanting had already noticed it when Jia Lang looked at him.

Immediately, Sun Chuanting eased his livid face, and signaled Jia Lang to continue talking with his eyes.

Under Sun Chuanting's signal, Jia Lang continued: "Senior Sun, this is the conclusion I have drawn from the records of past dynasties."

"After every catastrophe, the probability of this plague will increase linearly, and now is the time when all places are in chaos and the people are struggling to live."

"This is one of the reasons I said. Secondly, how could typhoid fever alone make so many people in the barracks sick so quickly in two days, and fell ill in a short period of time."

"Moreover, Senior Sun, the most important thing now is that Da Ming can no longer afford to lose, but he can break into thieves."

After Jia Lang finished speaking, he didn't continue to talk about other things, and there was nothing to continue.

Seeing Jia Lang stop talking, Sun Chuanting knew that Jia Lang had already said as much as he needed to say.

Then Sun Chuanting nodded and said to Jia Lang: "What you said is quite reasonable. I really can't afford to lose a game now."

After telling Jia Lang that he couldn't afford to lose, Sun Chuanting said to Jia Lang again: "Since you can infer that the soldier is not suffering from typhoid but plague."

"Then do you have any solution to the plague?"

Sun Chuanting asked this last sentence, which actually had no hope for Jia Lang to propose a solution, but it was just a casual question.

Who would have thought that what Jia Lang was waiting for was Sun Chuanting's words.

Immediately, Jia Lang cupped his hands towards Sun Chuanting and said, "Since Senior Sun asked, I will explain everything one by one."

"First of all, we will treat these soldiers as if they are suffering from the plague."

"Since it is a plague, we must first isolate these soldiers from other ordinary people, because this great epidemic often spreads from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. The reason for this plague is that this person and the patient all gather together. , thus causing a kind of malaise to enter the body."

Sun Chuanting still understood the isolation and other methods Jia Lang mentioned earlier, but Sun Chuanting couldn't understand what Jia Lang said about evil spirits.

Jia Lang looked at Sun Chuanting's confused face and thought that the word "disease" had not yet appeared. From the movie, it seemed that this word was proposed by Wu Youke who had been cured of the plague.

So Jia Lang hurriedly explained to Sun Chuanting: "This plague is probably spread from the air. It is like the fine dust in the air. It is breathed into the lungs by people, and then exhaled by people. into the air, to be breathed in by those who are not infected with the plague."

Sun Chuanting felt that what Jia Lang said made sense, but Sun Chuanting still asked Jia Lang: "Since you said just now that you are not a medical student, why are you talking about the principle of plague again now? .”

"Are you making things up and deceiving me again? Maybe in your eyes I'm just confused and easy to deceive. I'm asking you for a solution."

Sun Chuanting's voice became much louder when he said the last sentence.

Jia Lang became so anxious when he saw Sun Chuanting, but he didn't dare to provoke Sun Chuanting to get angry, so Jia Lang quickly explained: "Senior Sun, please don't be anxious. I also heard this principle from a medical expert. You only know what you say."

Wu can be regarded as a master of medicine again, what Jia Lang said is not wrong.

"Please listen to me slowly. Because of the way the plague spreads, the isolation I mentioned earlier plays a big role. My move is to control the spread of the plague from the transmission route."

"And those who come into contact with sick soldiers in the future must wrap their mouths and noses with cloth strips that have been poisoned by hot soup to prevent them from breathing in the malaria in the air."

Jia Lang, who said such words, looked so confident and complacent that he deserved to be beaten. Jia Lang leaned on and showed off his predecessors in front of Sun Chuanting.
After hearing Jia Lang's words, Sun Chuanting smiled mysteriously.

Then Sun Chuanting said to Jia Lang: "Jia Sheng, you have said so much, but you are still using the older generation's method. The cloth bag mouth is a bit new."

After saying this, Sun Chuanting then said to Jia Lang in agreement: "What you said makes sense, but they are just old methods that treat the symptoms but not the root cause."

Then Sun Chuanting waved his hand and said: "I know a little bit of what you said, but what I want now is a method that can cure the root cause, rather than listening to you talk about these methods that I know."

Jia Lang felt a little embarrassed when he heard Sun Chuanting's even impatient tone at the end. He thought he could still show off his skills, but he didn't expect this to be the case.

But at this moment, Jia Lang was embarrassed, and he didn't dare to joke with Sun Chuanting. The murderous spirit on Sun Chuanting was real.

So Jia Lang quickly named his savior, and Jia Lang said to Sun Chuanting: "Senior Sun, there is indeed a radical cure. Now if someone can cure the plague."

"Then only Wu Youke from Tai Hospital can fight this plague."

Sun Chuanting was quite happy when he heard Jia Lang say that someone could cure the plague, but when he heard Jia Lang talk about the Tai Hospital, his expression changed.

Then Sun Chuanting shouted angrily at Jia Lang: "This is the method you gave me. Do you know how useful the time you spent coming here from the capital can be?"

Seeing Sun Chuanting, Jia Lang yelled at himself angrily, so he didn't blame him. Sun Chuanting was just angry on behalf of Tongguan, so Jia Lang explained to Sun Chuanting: "Senior Sun, please don't be angry, please listen to me. Speaking of which, because Wu Youke was dissatisfied with the power play in the Tai Hospital, he had already resigned from his official position and became a traveling doctor."

Then Jia Lang continued: "As I know correctly, Wu Youke has arrived at Tongguan and defected to his master Zhao Chuan."

At this time, Jia Lang could only feel sorry for Wu Youke, Sun Chuanting, the murderous god, let him face it, after all, a dead fellow Taoist will never die a poor fellow Taoist.

After hearing Jia Lang's words, Sun Chuanting immediately came to his senses, and told Qiaoqian who was beside him: "Qiaoqian, you heard it all, go and find Wu Youke quickly."

Qiaoqian was right next to Sun Chuanting, he agreed immediately, and left the tent after saluting, leaving only Jia Lang and Sun Chuanting in the tent.
