The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 407 Typhoid Fever
"I remember that the camp said that there were three people who stayed in the watchtower on duty all the time, and did not go out to manage the people crossing the river."

Zhao Ji thought for a while and asked.

Lin Zhong took a step forward and replied: "The watchtower guards have not notified them yet."

Zhao Ji nodded, it was the right thing for Lin Zhong not to inform them.

Many pontoon bridges have been built at the Zhangshui Ferry. On the south bank of the Zhangshui River, there are more than [-] Yinglang Weiti riders in charge of crossing the river, that is, four hundred households.

It sounds like more than [-] people are a lot, but in fact, after the entire ferry is dispersed, the manpower is sometimes a bit stretched.

The camps on the south bank of the Zhangshui River are relatively large, each of which can accommodate about [-] people, but this is also because the people are no better than the army, and they don't need to maintain their combat effectiveness, nor do they need to guard against attacks from foreign forces, so they can accommodate so many people.

But the camp of [-] people is not a whole, but is divided into five camps separated by simple fences, which is easier to manage, and the watchtower is built in the middle of each district by the Eagle Wolf Guard. A higher watchtower was erected.

The responsibility of the Watchtower is to communicate with each other. The Eagle Wolf Guard has its own set of semaphore, which happens to be used here.

If there is a commotion in a camp area, or if support is needed, the Tiqi of the watchtower in the camp will wave the flag and use the flag language to convey the message. After receiving the news, the Tiqi of the other watchtowers can contact the To the responsible personnel of the remaining camps to deal with emergencies in a timely manner.

The watchtower usually has three guards on duty, and there is a place to provide board and lodging in the watchtower. Generally speaking, the watchtowers are not allowed to leave the watchtower, in case they cannot receive information in time and pass it on.

Outside the ferry on the south bank of the Zhangshui River, a total of six such camps were set up, with a maximum capacity of [-] people.

Other than that, the rest of the people set up their own camps, and the Yellow Turban Army was only responsible for distributing food and grass, just like when they walked all the way from the four states.

Zhao Ji pondered for a while, and said to Lin Zhong: "If I remember correctly, the last rotation was nine days ago, and Ti Qi, who was on duty at the watchtower, stayed on the watchtower for nine days, that's right."

After thinking about it, Lin Zhongwei replied affirmatively: "Baihu remembers well. The staff in the watchtower rotate every ten days. It has been nine days since the last rotation. According to the regulations, they can be dismissed tomorrow."

Zhao Ji breathed a sigh of relief, this is good news, that is to say, Ti Qi, who is on duty at the watchtower, basically has no contact with people who have had the disease, so the probability of them getting sick is greatly reduced.

Before that, Zhao Ji was still thinking about who should be sent to contact the outside world. After all, the Eagle Wolf Guard Tiqi in the camp was responsible for patrolling matters every day, and the risk of infection was very high. If only a few people in the camp got the disease, But because the people he sent spread the disease, causing more people to get the disease, then even if he died ten thousand times, he could hardly escape the blame.

"Cough...cough..."

Among the crowd, someone couldn't help coughing. From just now until now, Zhao Ji has discovered that five people cough from time to time.

"You guys, come to me."

Zhao Ji reached out and pointed out the five wolf guard Tiqi who coughed from time to time, and the five people walked out of the queue without hesitation.

"You should know what happened to yourself, right?"

The yellow scarves covered their faces, and neither Zhao Ji nor they could see the expressions on their respective faces.

"know."

A Tiqi nodded and said calmly.

Zhao Ji looked at him. Although there was a yellow scarf covering his face, he naturally knew this person after such a long relationship between superiors and subordinates.

This man is called Qian Quan, and like him, he is also from the Taihang Mountains, but he used to be under Yang Feng's command, and he was hostile to them before.

Qian Quan lowered his head, clasped his fists and said, "The five of us may have already contracted the disease. Officer Lin Qi had already explained to us before we came."

Zhao Ji was a little silent. Getting the disease was almost a certain death situation. He opened his mouth to comfort a few people, but he didn't say anything.

"Baihu, the few of us have already discussed it."

Qian Quan's tone remained unchanged.

"Everyone knows that if you have a disease, it's difficult to cure the disease, and you have to wait for death."

Qian Quan looked directly at Zhao Ji and said solemnly.

"But with a great virtuous teacher, we may not necessarily die. The "Health Regulations" written by the great virtuous teacher contain targets and methods to prevent the spread of the disease."

"We have Huang Tian's protection. The great virtuous teacher is Huang Tian's incarnation. The great virtuous teacher will definitely find a way to cure the epidemic."

"And..." Qian Quan said with a forced smile: "Even if we die, we will die for Huang Tian, ​​and we will be able to return to Huang Tian Paradise after death. If this is the case, then there is nothing to be afraid of."

Zhao Ji stood up and solemnly patted Qian Quan on the shoulder.

"Everyone."

Zhao Ji stared at the people in front of him with firm eyes. Not long after the promulgation of the "Health Regulations", he had simply memorized them. He forgot some of them because of the time. After reading it again just now, he found many He already had a plan in his mind.

Prior to this, Jiangyi City had uncovered the secret work of the Han army, and with some subsequent achievements, Zhao Ji was also promoted to Deputy Qianhu. However, Jiangyi City's position is important, so there was no transfer. He only took the official position of Deputy Qianhu and still temporarily There were hundreds of households in Jiangyi City in the Dai Dynasty, so the people under his subordinates still called Zhao Ji's original official position and called him Baihu.

This time, the person in charge of crossing the river on the south bank of the Zhangshui River was actually Zhao Ji, who supervised the crossing of the river as the deputy thousand household official, and the other three hundreds of households were under Zhao Ji's command.

Just now, Zhao Ji had already thought up a general strategy, and after scanning the crowd around, Zhao Ji spoke.

"Lin Zhong, you go to the watchtower alone, don't get too close, first understand their situation, if there is nothing unusual, dispatch two Tiqi from the watchtower, let them inform the other five camps, and take a look at the other camps. Is there any similar incidents in the five camps in China, and remember to ask them to wear yellow scarves to cover their mouths and noses."

"promise."

Lin Zhong accepted the order without any hesitation, and walked out of the porridge shed quickly, pressing the Yanling knife on his waist. Although the night was long, they didn't have much time left.

"All the money."

Zhao Ji's eyes turned to Qian Quan who was coughing aside.

"Subordinates are here."

Qian Quan stopped coughing, lowered his head slightly, and bowed his hands in resignation.

"The five of you return to the tent to rest for the time being, don't move around carelessly, and leave the evening affairs to the rest of the people for the time being, tomorrow will be your busy time during the day."

"promise."

Qian Quan and the others didn't say much, they agreed cleanly, and the five of them disappeared into the night just like that.

Zhao Ji turned his head to look at the remaining Tiqi in the porridge shed. After Lin Zhong, Qian Quan and others left, there were only eleven Tiqi left in the porridge shed.

"The three of you stay here." Zhao Ji pointed out the three of them, pointing to the big pot in the porridge shed and said, "Collect the clean cloth strips and pieces in the camp, and cut them into pieces that can be worn on the face and cover the mouth. Then put the cloth strips into the water, wait for the water to boil for a quarter of an hour before taking them out, and then put them on the fire rack to dry, the more the better."

"Eight of you, a team of two, bring my warrant, and when there are boiled cloth strips, bring some to distribute, notify the flag officers in the other four camps, tell them what happened, and send all Inform them."

Zhao Ji asked with a serious face.

"At that time, you will stay where you are. If you find that the situation is wrong, if there is anything strange..."

A stern look flashed in Zhao Ji's eyes, and he raised his palm and chopped down.

"This matter is of great importance. Just because it is Paoze, you must not feel compassionate. Once the epidemic is out of control, the remaining hundreds of thousands of people on the South Bank will definitely be wiped out..."

"promise!"

Under the porridge shed, the eleven wolf guards Tiqi surrendered without hesitation.

These people can be regarded as Zhao Ji's direct descendants, and they hardly discount Zhao Ji's orders, not to mention the lives of hundreds of thousands of people are now at stake.

Zhao Ji's eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "Martial law is declared in the camp, no one is allowed to leave the camp, even a piece of cloth, not a single horse is allowed to leave the camp!"

……

A small camp in the camp area is brightly lit, which looks out of place with the rest of the unlit places.

There are some fences and obstacles around this small camp, and around the fence, every ten steps there is a soldier holding a spear. This is the residence of the Yellow Turban Army guarding this camp.

Although they are in the same camp, the army naturally cannot mix with the people. If they live together, there is no time to respond to some disturbances or emergencies. Therefore, the garrisons in each camp are set up in separate places.

In the main tent of the camp, Zhang Ji was standing at the tent door, and an officer in half-armored armor was sitting in the first seat. Besides him and Zhang Ji, there were four other people, sitting on the left and right sides respectively, who were lowering their heads. talk loudly.

These four people are the soldiers on duty in the camp, the two team leaders in the village and their respective team leaders Fu Zhu.

In the brazier, the crackling sound of burning wood was remembered from time to time. Although there was no night wind blowing, although the flames kept beating, the light and shadow in the camp did not shake too much like outside.

In the camp, the faces of the six people were all wearing yellow scarves that covered their mouths and noses. Although they couldn't see the faces below the eyes clearly, their brows were full of sorrow.

"coming."

Zhang Ji turned his head and nodded to Xu Jin, the head of the village, who was sitting in the first seat.

Xu Jin got up abruptly, wanting to go forward, but at the critical moment, he remembered that Zhao Ji seemed to have contracted the disease, so he stopped immediately, and even stepped back a little.

The two teams sitting on both sides also retreated a little bit, but the two Fu Zhu in the tent did not retreat, instead they took a few steps forward.

Zhang Ji lifted the curtain, then Zhao Ji lowered his head and walked slowly from outside the tent into the tent.

"Meet Zhao Qianhu for a while."

"Liu Chai sees Zhao Qianhu."

When the two Fu Zhu saw Zhao Ji coming in, they saluted at the same time.

Because of the previous restructuring, Fu Zhu took the post of travel supervisor in the army. Although he and the Eagle Wolf Guard still belonged to two independent organizations, the intelligence they collected had to go through the Wolf Guard's Zhen Fu Division.

The relationship between the two is in the honeymoon period, very harmonious.

At the beginning, the eagle and wolf guards were composed of yellow angels and devout believers. What they did was also respected by everyone, so the status of the eagle and wolf guards was generally higher.

As for Fu Zhu, they naturally have a good impression of the eagle wolf guards.

Zhao Ji did not neglect either, and returned a salute to the two talismans, but when he saw the two talismans approaching him, he quickly stopped him and said, "I've already contracted the disease, so don't come here, in case I get infected The epidemic is no joke, I am standing here talking to you."

Duan Shi and Liu Chai looked at each other, but they didn't stop.

"The two of us want to check Zhao Qianhu to see what kind of disease Zhao Qianhu is suffering from."

"There are only two of us, Fu Zhu, in the camp. There are no other Fu Zhu and medical workers. If the two of us shrink back and don't know the type of the disease, how can we formulate a treatment plan based on the symptoms."

While talking, Duan Shi and Liu Chai had already walked in front of Zhao Ji.

"Zhao Qianhu, please sit down and let the two of us check your condition."

Zhao Ji also knew that what Duan Shi and Liu Chai said made sense, so he hesitated for a moment, then sat down as he said.

Duan Shi stretched out his hand and caught Zhao Ji's pulse.

"Zhao Qianhu's previous symptoms and how he feels in his body now, please be sure to tell the two of us in detail."

Liu Chai observed Zhao Ji's expression and said seriously.

For a while, the brows were tightly furrowed, and the heavy pressure slightly decreased but not empty, and the pulse was general but more than enough, like the pulse condition of driftwood on the water, this is a typical floating pulse.

"I coughed first, but the cough didn't have any other symptoms. I started to feel a little weak today. I felt a little chilly all over. I was shivering from the cold, as if I didn't wear any clothes. It was like winter, and I also felt dizzy and dizzy. heavy."

Zhao Ji didn't hide anything, and described his situation in detail.

"By the way." Zhao Ji suddenly remembered the child's mother's illness. "I also met a patient before. It was a woman. Her whole body was hot, her forehead was as hot as firewood, and she was sweating a lot."

Liu Chai's face collapsed almost as soon as Zhao Ji finished talking about his illness. He was stunned for a while, then turned his head to look at Duan Shi aside and asked, "How is it?"

Duan Shi shook his head with difficulty, and said bitterly: "It's Fumai..."

Seeing the faces of Duan Shi and Liu Chai, Zhao Ji looked a little anxious, and asked, "But what kind of illness did you see?"

Duan Shi glanced at Zhao Ji, but he did not immediately answer Zhao Ji's question, but glanced at Liu Chai again, as if he was asking for Liu Chai's opinion.

"There's no need to hide it from Zhao Qianhu."

Liu Chai nodded, looking solemn for a while, and solemnly said to Zhao Ji: "The epidemic disease in the camp is called 'Typhoid'."

The first onset of typhoid fever is, and Taiyang disease is divided into apoplexy and typhoid fever.Symptoms of apoplexy are fever, sweating, aversion to wind, floating and slow pulse; symptoms of typhoid fever are aversion to cold, body pain, nausea, and tightness of yin and yang.

"There is no cure for this disease..."

Liu Chai smiled wryly and said sadly.

"And it's extremely contagious, and it's hard to prevent. One person gets it and spreads it to ten people, and ten people gets it and spreads it to thousands of people..."

"The disease that Zhao Qianhu and that woman contracted was typhoid fever, and it was an early stage symptom. This kind of disease can be cured in the early stage, but once it develops, it is hard to cure..."

Liu Chai's body leaned back, and he sat on the ground like this, looking extremely decadent.

"The reason why typhoid fever is difficult to treat is because after it gets sick, there are many different changes, which are difficult to treat at all..."

……

Typhoid fever is mainly diagnosed according to the six meridians, which are Taiyang, Yangming, Shaoyang, Taiyin, Shaoyin, and Jueyin.

In the Three Yang Meridians, the Sun governs the exterior, Yangming governs the interior, Shaoyang governs half the exterior and half the interior; in the Three Yin Meridians, Taiyin governs the exterior, Jueyin governs the interior, and Shaoyin governs half the exterior and half the interior.

The transmission of the Three Yang Meridians mostly starts from the sun, or into Shaoyang, or into Yangming.When the body's resistance is insufficient, it can also be introduced into the three yin.

Diseases of the Three Yins mostly start from Taiyin, and then spread to Shaoyin and Jueyin.

However, these are the experiences and changes summed up by later generations. Now there have been several large-scale outbreaks of typhoid fever. Most people only know the symptoms of typhoid fever in the early stage, and there are many changes, and they don't know anything about it.

The fatality rate of typhoid fever is extremely high.

The main symptoms of this disease are "rapid onset and high mortality rate. Patients often suffer from high fever and asthma, and die of breathlessness. Some patients have blood spots and bruises."

Plagues are everywhere, and the epidemics are widespread. No matter the dignitaries or the common people, they all suffer from it.

Zhang Zhongjing, known as the capital of medical sages in history, even his family can't avoid it.

The plague even caused nearly half of Zhang Zhongjing's family to die in Huangquan. It is precisely because of this that in order to overcome this plague, Zhang Zhongjing devoted himself to research and finally wrote the classic Chinese medicine "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases".

According to historical records, there were three major epidemics during the reign of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, five times during the reign of Emperor Ling, and even more epidemics during the reign of Emperor Xian Jian'an.

Thousands of people were devoured by the disease, resulting in an unprecedented catastrophe.

According to Zhang Zhongjing's records: "There are many clans of Yu, with more than two hundred families. It has not been ten years since Jian'an, and two-thirds of them died, and typhoid fever accounted for seven out of ten."

The high-ranking officials and dignitaries were not exempt from vulgarity. Apart from the early deaths of Kong Rong and Ruan Yu, five of the seven sons of Jian'an died of infectious diseases.

Cao Zhi wrote an article titled "Speaking of Epidemic Qi", which explained the horror of typhoid fever and the tragic situation at that time.

"In the twenty-second year of Jian'an, hostility prevailed. Every family suffered from the pain of zombies, and the clan clan mourned. Some died after closing their doors, or lost their families and died. Or they thought that the plague was caused by ghosts and gods. Anyone who suffers from this will be punished. The son of brown ruhuo, the ear of a prosperous household in Jingshi. Ruofu Hall is located in the home of Dingshi, and the gate of heavy mink and fertilization, if it is rare. This is the dislocation of yin and yang, and the wrong time of cold and heat, so the disease is born. And the foolish people hang It's ridiculous to hate it."

The plague caused chaos in the world, and the chaos in the world caused the plague to "develop freely". The plague that has been raging for decades is conservatively estimated to have caused tens of millions of population losses.

A sound of typhoid fever made everyone in the tent quiet.

　There won't be too many chapters on the epidemic. It seems that the response is not good. The main reason is that the war article is too long.

　　In this period of history, epidemics broke out. In many places, the plot will advance very quickly
