Chapter 602 Plague ravages

"Bastard! You cannibal, I will make you look good one day!" Gassan cursed in a low voice and walked out of the Santo's mansion. Of course, there is only the owner of the City Lord's Mansion behind him, that is, the City Lord of Harrow City.

Gassan was one of the three generals in Harrow City, in charge of one-third of the army in the city, and in just a few days, he led the army in the city to attack the stronghold of Guiwai Island.Originally, Gassan thought he was attacking suddenly, and judging from the opponent's performance, the retreat was also in a hurry, so there must be a lot of property in the stronghold that was too late to take away, but when he entered the stronghold, he realized that this stronghold is like hell generally.

Recalling the situation when he led the team into the stronghold, Gassan couldn't help shivering. At the beginning, when they entered the outskirts of the stronghold, they found that everything was normal. In some places that were obviously residential areas, they also It is true that many Han people did not come and took away clothes and food. These things are very good harvests for them, but there are not many belongings, which makes Gasan a little annoyed.

But then some soldiers came to report that they found the grain depot in the stronghold, and there were a lot of grain piled inside, which made Gasan feel excited. The young and strong labor force in East Java also decreased a lot, and a large number of fields could not be used. Farming, so the price of food has risen again and again, and now it only needs to take out a hundred catties of rice to exchange for a beautiful tribal girl, which was unimaginable in the past.

It's a pity that the food surprise only lasted for a short period of time, when Gassan rushed into the inner city of the stronghold with great interest.When he wanted to find more property and food, it appeared in front of his eyes.They were corpses one after another, and most of these corpses were placed in bright rooms one after another. The windows of the rooms were inlaid with Chinese glass, which looked even more luxurious than the City Lord's Mansion in Harrow City.Capital Datang 602

But in such a luxurious room, those corpses were disembowelled, the internal organs were taken out, and placed in glass bottles next to them, and they were also stored with precious spirits.There are even some rooms dedicated to storing these glass bottles of offal. Rows of shelves are neatly arranged, and walking in is like visiting hell.

Gassan and his soldiers are also veterans who have experienced the cruelty of the battlefield, but when they saw the hellish situation inside the stronghold, many soldiers couldn't help but vomit, especially when they found an underground Ice cellar, which stores many huge ice cubes.These ice cubes are very valuable in Java, and can even be equivalent to gold, but there are also many corpses stored in the gaps between these ice cubes.

In addition to the dead bodies, Gassan and the others also found some living people, but these people were all locked in a special prison.Moreover, every prisoner was dying, his face was sallow or pale, his whole body was skinny, and he didn't look much better than a dead body, and he also found out.In addition to their local people, these prisoners also included people from Persia, Tianzhu and other places.He had seen people from these places come to Java for business before.

Gassan didn't get much useful information from these living special prisoners. Those people from Persia and Tianzhu couldn't communicate at all. As for those local people, they couldn't tell what this stronghold was for at all. After being caught here, they were tampered with by those Han people in white clothes, and then they got seriously ill. Many people died under the torture of the illness, so they called the Han people here as white-clothed devils behind their backs.

In fact, Gassan is not interested in what this stronghold is used for. What he values ​​most is what he can get from the stronghold. Unfortunately, their biggest harvest is only the food and clothing, and the property is very little. , which made him feel a little frustrated, but he instinctively felt that this stronghold was a bit weird, so he ordered the patients in the prison to be detained as they were, and did not release them. As for him, he brought the food and clothes collected in the stronghold Back to Harrow City.

After Gassan returned to Harrow City, the stupid and fat Harrow City Lord took away [-]% of the spoils at once, and the remaining [-]% was not Gassan's own. Among the generals of his subordinates, after such a calculation, the benefits he can get are very few.This is also the case, when Gassan came out of the city lord's mansion, he would curse the city lord as a bastard in a low voice.

However, no matter how disobedient Gassan was, he did not dare to disobey the order of the city lord, because the other party was not only the lord of Harrow City, but also the king's cousin, and now he was just a general who counted thousands of people, in the eyes of the city lord, he did not dare to disobey the order. There is no status at all, even as long as the other party moves his mouth, he can deprive him of military power, and without military power, he is nothing.

Knowing this, Gassan can only pinch his nose and admit to the city lord's exploitation every time, at most he can only swear a few words behind his back, but scolding alone can't kill the greedy and stupid city lord.

Thinking of this, Gassan couldn't help sighing helplessly, then walked towards the camp where his army was stationed with his head down. At the same time, he was also thinking about how to distribute the spoils in order to satisfy his subordinates. After all, he wanted to maintain his current position. status, you also need to rely on the strength of your subordinates.

Gassan's army was stationed in the south of the city, with a total strength of only 3000 troops. Of the 2000 troops that raided Ghost Crying Island last time, [-] troops were borrowed from another general. As a result, hundreds of people were lost, so the spoils of war this time also need Give a copy to that general to compensate for the loss of the opposing army.And Gassan's own army suffered even greater losses. Those who were killed and wounded added up to thousands of people, and the spoils this time were simply not enough to make up for the losses.

Thinking of these troubles, Gassan couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and at the same time quickened his pace and walked towards his barracks.But just as soon as he entered the barracks, there was another thing that bothered him even more.

It turned out that on the second day after they returned from the stronghold, some soldiers in the army started to have a fever for no reason, and some were accompanied by symptoms of vomiting.Gassan didn't pay much attention at first, thinking it was the natural reaction of the soldiers after boarding the boat. Today, before he went to the city lord's mansion, many soldiers' illnesses began to worsen, and some soldiers even showed symptoms of shortness of breath and body bleeding. It caught Gassan's attention and invited a wizard to heal the soldier before he went out.

But when he came back, the wizard did not cure the soldiers. Instead, several soldiers died of serious illnesses. Even some soldiers who were originally healthy began to show the same symptoms. Feeling a bad premonition, and thinking of the dead bodies and patients in that weird Han Chinese stronghold, Gassan seemed to understand something.

But no matter what Gassang understands, it is already too late now. The plague that Wu Tiande in Ghost Cry Island stronghold is researching is the plague that caused heavy losses to human beings. As one of the top ten plagues in human history, the plague caused death Although the number of people has not been counted, a plague that occurred in Europe in the sixth century alone caused hundreds of millions of deaths and lasted for decades, which shows the horror of the plague.

The Central Plains is also a high-incidence area of ​​plague. Although with the advancement of medical technology, as long as correct prevention and control measures are taken at the beginning of the outbreak of the plague, the large-scale spread of the plague can be avoided, but the death of the infected cannot be avoided. In an outbreak, the deaths of tens of thousands of people are simply inconspicuous, and sometimes even a single plague can turn several states into ghost towns.

It is precisely because of the great harm of the plague that Wu Tiande and the others listed the plague as the first target to conquer, and after several years of research, they have indeed achieved great results, not only found several transmission routes of the plague, but also A series of plague treatment and prevention methods have been designed, and some of them have passed the verification. If it takes another half a year, the treatment and prevention of plague will be compiled into a book and then distributed throughout the country.

But unfortunately, this crucial process was interrupted by Gassan, the native general. Although the research materials were taken away, it is estimated that it will take a considerable amount of time to rebuild the research environment of the Ghost Cry Island stronghold.Afterwards, Wu Tiande was so angry that he couldn't eat for a few days, and even made an oath that if he found out which local bastard ruined his good deeds in the future, he would definitely arrest all the women in his family and make them concubines to show his respect for this Retaliation for something.

However, Wu Tiande's wretched revenge is obviously impossible to complete, because on the third day after the outbreak of the epidemic in Gasan's army, Gasan also developed the same symptoms. Yes, they also often come into contact with their family members outside. As a result, this also caused the plague to spread outward in multiples, and more and more people died.

The climate of Java Island is hot, and rats, fleas and other creatures on the island are very prosperous. Coupled with the communication between Haro City and other cities, the plague did not only break out in Haro City from the very beginning, but also in the city of Haro. A wave spread outward, and soon spread to the entire Java Island, and the lives of millions of natives were all under the threat of plague.Capital Datang 602

In addition, because of the research needs of the Ghost Crying Island stronghold, they will be able to find all kinds of plagues all together, which also makes Java Island have many different plague symptoms when the plague breaks out. In the 21st century, it is enough to cause headaches for the medical systems of countless countries, not to mention that the island of Java is still in the primitive stage of wizard healing.

In addition, according to the research of later generations, after the common outbreak of many kinds of Yersinia pestis, the plague on Java Island quickly produced a variety of new variants, among which several plague variants were highly contagious and had a high probability of death, and this also It led to the largest humanitarian disaster on Java Island. Even if Li Yin hadn't handled it well, this biochemical crisis caused by accident would probably spread to the whole world, forming a man-made and devastating disaster. (To be continued.
