Chapter 684 The disease that kills the most people in history?! Everyone is terrified, Zhang Zhongjing: This scene looks a little familiar
[It is 1347 in Europe, and the Middle Ages have come to an end.]

[This year, the pope, who was high up in the Vatican, had lost his power to have the final say, and his power was limited to the small Papal States.]

[This year, the Purple Tent royal family in the East also came to its end, and the Eastern Roman Empire existed in name only. ]

[This year, the Crusaders were no longer a threat, many caliphs began to fall, and different voices began to emerge in the Muslim world.]

[This year, on the land of China, Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty was making drastic reforms to restore the entire society to normal operation.]

[But it was also in this year that the entire Europe was about to usher in a century-long plague epidemic. ]

[Countless well-known families were wiped out because of this disease, and countless families rose up as a result. Blackness and death enveloped the entire continent. ]

[So, people across the entire European continent called it the Black Death! ]

"It's just an injury. It's not like we haven't seen it before. How serious can it be?"

Han Dynasty, Liu Che expressed his incomprehension.

In his heart were the lives of the people of the world and the wars and battles. He didn't care about these illnesses at all, and even felt that he would never get sick.

However, Wei Qing, who was standing by, was still frightened.

The Han court's preventive measures were naturally very powerful, but this was not the case among the common people. A cold could take the lives of most people.

Not to mention anything else.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, or the early years of Cao Wei, I felt somewhat empathetic when I looked at the sky curtain in the court.

"Brother..."

Sima Yi looked at the sky and murmured, unable to control his emotions.

Some even cried directly in the court because their relatives died of the epidemic.

The most serious epidemic in China recorded in history was the one at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Because of years of war and the death of all doctors, the epidemic could not be controlled from the beginning.

At first, it was just a local disease caused by Boss Cao's massacre in Xuzhou and Qingzhou, but it eventually spread to the whole country and even the whole of China.

According to historical records, "There are deaths of sickness at every door! Zombies are displayed in the hall."

This is the North under Boss Cao’s rule. Even the aristocratic families cannot guarantee their future.

Therefore, naturally, there was no need to care whether the Han Dynasty should continue to exist.

This form of epidemic continued until Cao Pi usurped the throne. Just as the Wei Dynasty, which had changed its name to the throne, was founded, God gave Cao Pi a big gift package.

The whole world was plagued by epidemics, and more than half of the ministers in the court were in self-isolation.

This is the background of the Three Kingdoms era, when heroes emerged in large numbers.

So, when the court officials present saw the picture of the epidemic appearing on the sky curtain, how could they resist making associations?
[In such a world, a group of doctors wearing black clothes and bird-beak masks walk on the earth. They don’t treat diseases, they kill people. ]

[They wore black clothes just to hide the dried blood on their bodies, and they wore bird beaks on their heads just because they stored spices and charcoal inside.]

[These can prevent them from coming into direct contact with patients.]

[Their mission is to kill all those who suffer from the disease, because their survival has become a threat to the entire world.]

"When you get sick, you are no longer a human being."

In the Southern Dynasty, Emperor Bodhisattva sighed softly. Why did he have to rest and recuperate while in office?
Why didn't he launch a northern expedition to unify the world?
It’s because there are many diseases in the south. Since he ascended the throne, epidemics and nasty insect diseases have occurred somewhere every year.

These diseases may be mild or severe, but they will all cause a sharp decline in the population under their rule.

It's not because they died of illness, but because the soldiers around them would kill them in an organized manner.

The ancient method of controlling epidemics was so simple and effective! As long as everyone was killed, there would be no disease!
During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang showed a trace of realization on his face. He looked at the bird-beaked doctor on the sky and gained some inspiration from it.

"When wounded and sick people gather together, the air they produce will be diseased, so do we need to wear layers of protective masks?"

Zhuge Liang seemed to be thinking about something. Although there have been proposals for droplet transmission in this era, they are all confined to the north, and there is still a blank in the south.

So, this discovery can save many people!

[The bird-beaked doctor was regarded as the carrier of disaster. The ignorant European peasants would not understand how much courage was required to bring such a person to the world.]

[They only know that these messengers of disaster always appear in areas where epidemics are rampant.]

【So, they became synonymous with demons and disasters. 】

[But just as the bird-beak doctors gradually spread across Europe, a pandemic sweeping the continent is brewing in the darkness! ]

【Black Death! 】

[This is just a name given to it by later generations. In fact, it is still a kind of plague. This disease has accompanied humans for thousands of years and was not conquered until modern times.]

【At that time, the plague was humanity’s greatest enemy! 】

[According to statistics from later generations, the plague killed at least 50 million people in Europe at various times.]

[Twenty-five million of them died in this great disaster in the fourteenth century.]

[Some towns and cities were completely wiped out, weeds covered the entire land, deer and cows escaped the fences, and no one grazed or cultivated the lush pastures.]

【Where did the people go? 】

【All dead! 】

[In fact, Europe has experienced two large-scale plagues in history, but neither was as large as this one.]

[This was the case in the cities, and even worse in the wilderness. Some small animals were also infected with terrible diseases. Countless fleas and leeches covered the sky and fed on the corpses lying on the road.]

[After eating these, they carry the germs in their stomachs and move on to the next place. This cycle repeats itself, and the germs continue to multiply.]

“This scene is still vivid in my mind!”

A trace of melancholy appeared on Zhang Zhongjing's face, and he couldn't help shaking his head.

Plague was indeed the biggest opponent in the feudal era.

When he was the prefect, even though he advised everyone to start preventing the epidemic, the effect was minimal.

This disease seems to be naturally targeted at humans and is extremely scary.

The scene above the sky curtain was often seen by Sikong during his rule. He was the prefect of the four counties in southern Jing.

There has been no war here, so it can be considered a peaceful place in troubled times.

However, this place where people could get food was coveted by refugees, who brought diseases from the battlefield with them, and gradually, the locals also began to get sick.

Including the barbarians in the mountains. One time, he went to the mountains to collect herbs and passed by a village of liaons. He saw with his own eyes that it was completely silent and there were crows everywhere.

The human slaughter was too insignificant for the disease.

During the Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen looked up and wrote and drew on the book with a brush.

The camera zooms out and you can see the image of a doctor with a bird's beak painted on it.

"The Black Death, the plague, maybe it can be solved!"

Li Shizhen bit the tip of his pen and muttered.
