Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1537 Emergency Plan

Chu Yun's hands almost trembled when he received the telegram that the plague broke out in Tianjin Wei.

What kind of terrible plague is this? It took only two days from the discovery of the disease to death, and more than 100 people died. At this rate, most of the other infected people would die within a few days!
If the plague is not controlled in time, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people may be destroyed in invisible catastrophe.

"I will immediately summon the Six Departments and the Medical Department of Jingshi University Hall, and quickly form an investigation team to go to Tianjin Wei to control the epidemic. Once there is any progress in Tianjin Wei Yamen, you can send someone to inform me immediately." Chu Yun said to the person who sent the letter said the station master.

"Yes!" The stationmaster of the telegraph terminal in Beijing hurriedly returned to the telegraph station.

When Chu Yun returned to the backyard, he realized that he was sweating profusely because he was frightened by the outbreak of the plague.

"My lord, did something happen?" Ayla, who had been with Chu Yun the longest, was the first to notice something was wrong with him.

"Well, a plague broke out in Tianjin Wei, and hundreds of civilians died. The epidemic must be controlled as soon as possible." Chu Yun didn't bother to eat, "Ella, you follow me to the temporary meeting of the six departments... By the way, Xiao Xiu'er, you are from the medical department, and you will go with us."

Chu Yun thought that in order to control the impact of the plague, the intelligence department led by Aila must be used, as well as the medical department represented by Xiao Xiuer.

Xiao Xiu'er heard that the plague broke out in Tianjin Wei not far from the capital, and it was okay, so she quickly put down her chopsticks and stood up hastily.

"Da Yu'er, Ling'er and Xue'er will be taken care of by you. We may not be back until very late." Chu Yun said to Da Yu'er again.

Da Yuer only served in one of the committees of the household department, and was not yet eligible to enter the Six Departments Conference.

"Go ahead, I'll coax the two of them to sleep tonight." Da Yu'er nodded.

Officials from the six ministries originally went home to rest, but Chu Yun sent people to their homes to summon them urgently.

The meeting of the six ministries was held urgently. Thanks to the lighting tools such as electric lights, the hall was like daylight, and all the officials looked nervous.

This is not something that happened in a remote frontier, but in Tianjin Wei near the capital. Not only one or two small villages were killed by the plague outbreak, but Tianjin Wei with a population of [-] and the capital city of millions, even they themselves would Die from the plague!
In addition to the Six Departments of the Empire, the Medical Department of the Imperial University Hall also participated in the meeting. The physicians of the Medical Department will be the main members of this plague outbreak.

Because of their existence, Chu Yun felt a little relieved. The doctors of the medical department are experts in this field. With them, it is possible to find out the source of the plague and control the epidemic.

"Tianjin Wei Yamen is using their own methods to control the epidemic. They transport patients to the outskirts for centralized guarding to avoid contact with outsiders and patients. The police also closed the train station and city gates, only going in and out, and implementing a comprehensive martial law. But the situation has not Any improvement, even though there is no contact with patients, many people are still infected with the plague, and more than 500 people have reported their illness so far, and it is estimated that this plague may cause at least 1000 deaths." Chu Yun said a frightening number.

Since the technology of the Kyushu Army has become more and more advanced, the number of soldiers they have lost in any battle has never exceeded this number, but it is only a plague that has not erupted for a long time, and the number of deaths is estimated to be as many as 1000!
"What kind of symptoms does the patient have?" The doctors of the medical department looked dignified.

"According to the report, the patient has continuous severe watery diarrhea, vomiting, and muscle twitching. After a long time, it leads to sunken eye sockets, cold and clammy skin, and wrinkles on the hands and feet... Those who are unlucky are only less than In a day, you will die from dehydration..." Chu Yun said.

Senior officials from the Sixth Ministry and physicians from the Ministry of Medicine couldn't help their scalps tingling when they heard the symptoms of the plague.

This kind of plague was unheard of, and extremely terrifying, comparable to smallpox outbreaks!
Due to the widespread vaccination of smallpox vaccine, densely populated cities such as Beijing and Tianjin are no longer afraid of smallpox attacks, but now a strange plague has emerged from nowhere, and its horror is no less than smallpox!

The most frightening thing is the fear of the unknown!
They knew about smallpox, but they had never heard of a plague that could cause such a terrible death!
"The symptoms of diarrhea causing death, could it be acute gastroenteritis or food poisoning? But it caused hundreds of people to get sick at one time, and it is still spreading, and it looks like an infectious disease..."

"We have to go to Tianjin Wei to investigate in person before we can find out the cause."

The doctors of the medical department looked at each other in blank dismay. They were specialized in surgery, and they couldn't immediately know the cause of the plague that suddenly appeared in Tianjin Wei.

As the saying goes, cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots, only by knowing the cause of the plague can it be possible to extinguish the plague from the source, and isolation is only a temporary solution.Moreover, isolation does not seem to have any effect, and the number of sick people is still increasing!

"I ordered the Ministry of Medicine to form an investigation team of no less than 20 doctors and 80 students above the third grade to go to Tianjin Wei to investigate the epidemic situation and study the methods of rescuing patients."

"The Ministry of Household Affairs immediately allocated a special fund to provide financial support for the investigation team."

"The Ministry of War dispatched a group of security forces to reinforce Tianjin Wei to maintain order in the city, while strictly controlling people's entry and exit from the hardest-hit areas."

"The intelligence department contacted the newspaper office to appease the panicked people in time."

At this critical time, he can only simply ask for opinions from all parties, and then decisively issue orders.

Now there is no time to wait for the various plans to be carefully considered before taking action. The personnel from all parties must be in place as soon as possible!

"My lord, our medical department wants to dispatch several experts from the School of Biology to go to Tianjin Wei with us. You must know that many diseases may be related to microorganisms, and this plague may be the same. Experts and us went to Tianjin Wei to investigate the source of the plague, maybe they can be of great help." A doctor from the medical department suggested.

"Allowed, you can go to the Institute of Biology to ask someone." Chu Yun's understanding of diseases is better than most people in this era. Smallpox is caused by the smallpox virus.

The history of the struggle between human beings and microorganisms has begun since the birth of human beings.

"This time I will also personally go to Tianjin Wei to preside over the investigation. I will never allow any kind of plague to threaten our prosperity." Chu Yun announced an important decision to everyone.

In order to eliminate the panic of the people in Tianjin Wei, he will personally sit in Tianjin Wei.
