Chapter 416: The Angry Zhou Wang Zhu Ju, The Beiyuan Surrendered As Prisoners On The Verge Of Losing
If before this, the 200,000 prisoners surrendered by the Northern Yuan Dynasty would have died, and not many people in the Ming Dynasty would have cared.
However, knowing that the 200,000 Beiyuan prisoners were secretly infected with smallpox by Enke Zhuoliktu and other high-level Beiyuantians through School Disciple, the importance of these 200,000 Beiyuan prisoners increased.
As long as they can recover the 200,000 surrendered prisoners of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the 200,000 surrendered prisoners of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and let the 200,000 surrendered prisoners of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Enke Zhuoliktu and other senior officials of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, break through the bottom line, causing the people under their rule to be infected with the smallpox plague. go out.
Then it is very possible to take advantage of this incident to regain the hundreds of thousands of remaining Northern Yuan forces now entrenched in the old city of Yijinai, as well as in Liaodong and other places without any bloodshed!!!
Or at least it can make the Mongolian and Yuan people in the old city of Yiji and Liaodong look towards the Ming Dynasty, so that it will be much easier for the Ming Dynasty to recover in the future.
Therefore, for the 200,000 Beiyuan prisoners surrendered now, for the Ming Dynasty, the less people die, the more lives they can save.
However, now, due to the lack of medicine and other supplies, as well as the manpower of the eldest lady, nearly a thousand prisoners of the Northern Yuan Dynasty died every day due to the smallpox plague, which made Zhou Wang Zhu Ju unable to accept it.
"The number of doctors recruited by various states in the world has reached more than 2,000 today. The remaining ones are further away, but "Zero Zero Three" should also arrive before the deadline set by His Majesty."
"Most of the medical and other supplies from nearby states have been mobilized and are expected to arrive one after another from tonight to tomorrow.
“The remaining supplies need to be mobilized from further state capitals, and it will take more time to arrive.
The imperial physician ordered Dai Sigong to report all the news he knew.
King Zhu Zhu of Zhou frowned, looked at Dai Sigong and said with an unhappy expression:
"Most of it?!! In other words, are there any medicines and other supplies mobilized from nearby state capitals?!!"
The imperial physician ordered Dai Sigong to cup his hands and smile bitterly:
"Medicine and other supplies from nearby state capitals and Baoding Prefecture are also included in the collection."
“However, many medical material dealers in Baoding Prefecture claimed that they had no excess medical materials to collect.
"The prefect of Baoding Prefecture did not force this, but reluctantly collected three carts of medical supplies and ordered them to be delivered."
King Zhou Zhu's eyes were cold and he couldn't help but laughed angrily:
"Baoding Prefecture is such a big place, how come the medical material dealers don't stock up on excess medical supplies?!!"
"The prefect of Baoding Prefecture didn't force him?!"
Dai Sigong didn't say anything, because Baoding Mansion used all its strength to give Dasha.
In fact, Dai Sigong probably found such an excuse because the medical material dealers did not want the court to collect their medical materials at a fair price.
In response to such an answer, Dai Sigong just wanted to say that he would have a good trip on the road to Huangquan.
Zhou Wang Zhu Zhu immediately turned his head and looked outside the military camp and said:
"Is Marquis Yongcheng here?!!"
As the words of Zhou King Zhu Xi fell, Xue Xian, the Marquis of Yongcheng who was responsible for guarding Zhu Xi outside the house, immediately turned around and entered the pipe:
"Here you are! I wonder what your Highness has ordered?!"
Xue Xian, the Marquis of Yongcheng, was one of the nobles who came here with Zhou Wang Zhu Ji. He had been vaccinated with cowpox on the way here.
Also traveling with them were 10,000 Beijing Guards. These soldiers, who were not at risk of contracting smallpox, were stationed in isolation outside the 500,000-strong Northern Expedition army.
Zhou Wang Zhu Ju said in a cold tone:
"Assemble five thousand accompanying soldiers from the Beijing camp to enter Baoding Mansion with my king's gold seal, and search all the medical material dealers in Baoding Mansion for me!!!"
"Once they are found to have hoarded too much medical supplies, they will be accused of deceiving the emperor and beheading everyone on the spot!!!"
"In addition, once a medical material dealer is found to be hoarding medical supplies, the prefect of Baoding Prefecture will be killed on the spot for the same crime of incompetence!!!"
In troubled times, it is important to pay attention to the law. At this critical moment when 500,000 soldiers from the Northern Expedition and 200,000 prisoners from the Northern Yuan Dynasty were likely to break out again, a bigger smallpox plague would break out again. He had no extra time to waste on those merchants of medicinal materials.
It would be fine if those medical material merchants didn't lie.
If there is, then killing methods must be carried out to deter other medicinal material merchants and prevent other medicinal material merchants from imitating the same example and causing further trouble in the prevention and control of the smallpox plague.
Xue Xian, the Marquis of Yongcheng, whose nature was like a fiery fire, immediately said without any hesitation when he heard the order from King Zhu Ju of Zhou:
"My lord, take the order!!!"
Then he turned around and left the military camp, mobilized the five thousand accompanying soldiers from the Beijing camp and galloped towards Baoding Mansion.
With the blessing of Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict, King Zhu Ji of Zhou can be said to be the person with the highest status among the 500,000 Northern Expedition troops.
Dai Sigong, the imperial doctor on the side, discovered for the first time that His Royal Highness the King of Zhou, who had often asked him questions about medical skills before and seemed to have a quite gentle temperament, "Tang Ran also had such murderous intent.
【You really have the demeanor of His Majesty!!!】
After feeling a little sigh in his heart, Dai Sigong continued to report with a solemn face:
"In addition, Beiyuan's surrendered prisoners have caused commotion for the third time today. There are about a thousand people, trying to attack the outer ring encirclement!!!"
"But they were forced back by the Ming soldiers in the outer ring with bows and arrows!!!"
"But if the number of Beiyuan prisoners who died of the smallpox plague continues to increase, I'm afraid there will be further riots among the Beiyuan prisoners from all over the world!!!"
"It is possible that even 200,000 Beiyuan prisoners surrendered as a whole mutiny!!!"
Even though they had told the 200,000 Beiyuan surrendered prisoners that they had methods to treat and prevent smallpox.
But as long as there is no large-scale vaccination of 200,000 Beiyuan captives with cowpox in one day, and adequate supportive treatment, they will have confidence in the Ming Dynasty.
Then the remaining 200,000 Bei Yuan prisoners who died of the smallpox plague will all have a psychological breakdown sooner or later as they look at the carloads of corpses that are being pulled out every day!!!
Because in the eyes of these captives from the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the smallpox plague was tantamount to an incurable terminal disease.
And by allowing them to be isolated like this, Ming Dynasty actually left them all waiting to die!!!
Either wait to die from the smallpox plague, or try to break out of the Ming Dynasty's encirclement and gain what they think is a so-called glimmer of hope!!!
By then, the prisoners of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, who did not want to die from the smallpox plague, would inevitably want to attack the outer defense line composed of soldiers from the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition.
Once it really develops into that situation, no matter how much the Ming Dynasty does not want to see the deaths of these prisoners surrendered by the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
However, in order to control the spread of the smallpox plague to the outside world, they must be deterred by deadly measures.
Once too many Bei Yuan prisoners died in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty wanted to recover the 200,000 Bei Yuan prisoners by deliberately infecting the School Disciple with the smallpox plague to the 200,000 Bei Yuan prisoners. Heart, it is impossible...
Because by then, in the eyes of the 200,000 Bei Yuan prisoners, there will not be much difference between the Ming Dynasty who killed them and the Bei Yuan senior officials who secretly infected them with the smallpox plague through School Disciple!
After listening to Dai Sigong's report, Zhu Zhu's brows were almost twisted into a horoscope, and he asked in a deep voice:
"How long will it take for all 30,000 cows to be infected with smallpox and develop cowpox?!!"
Now they have cattle, and they also treat patients diagnosed with smallpox.
As long as all 30,000 cows are infected with smallpox and develop cowpox, then at least 100 to 150,000 people can be vaccinated with cowpox!!!
At that time, only one hundred thousand prisoners of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who are at the highest risk of infection will be vaccinated with cowpox, and at the same time, the remaining tens of thousands of Northern Expedition troops who are at high risk of infection will be vaccinated with cowpox.
So the current situation, which is on the verge of getting out of control, can be brought under control.
This will allow more time for the follow-up to inoculate more Northern Expedition troops and captured prisoners of the Northern Yuan Dynasty with cowpox to prevent and treat smallpox!
But the premise is that they have to ensure that before all the 30,000 animals are infected with smallpox and develop cowpox, the twenty prisoners surrendered by the Northern Yuan Dynasty will not mutiny collectively!!!
"According to our observations on the way here, it will probably take about three to five days."
Dai Sigong also frowned and replied.
On the way here, they also brought with them several important captives from the Northern Yuan Dynasty who had been infected with the smallpox plague. The purpose was to infect as many cattle as possible with smallpox through them on the way.
According to their previous observations, if cattle and smallpox patients ate and lived together, it would take about five to seven days for those cattle to be infected with smallpox.
Today, the thirty thousand cattle have barely lived together with patients infected with the smallpox plague for only two days.
Those 30,000 head should not have been infected with smallpox so quickly and produced usable cowpox.
Zhu Xi closed his eyes slightly and tapped his index finger on the table.
[Nearly a thousand people have tried to attack the Ming Dynasty’s defense line today!! 2.9!]
[If we wait until tomorrow, the number of Beiyuan prisoners who attempt to attack the Ming Dynasty's defense line will inevitably exceed a thousand!!!]
[If things continue to develop, in the next three to five days, the number of Beiyuan prisoners who attempt to attack the Ming Dynasty's defense line may be exceeded!!!]
[Once the number of Beiyuan prisoners who attempt to attack the Ming Dynasty's defense line exceeds 10,000, then the 200,000 Beiyuan prisoners will have the possibility of an overall mutiny at any time!!!]
[We have to fight for another three to five days, no, be more prudent, it is best to fight for seven days!!!]
[By then all 30,000 cows should have been infected with smallpox and ready to produce cowpox!!!]
【Let’s take another gamble!!!】
[Just bet that I, Zhu Xi, am not a lucky person!!!]
Zhu Ting opened his eyes and already made up his mind. He immediately looked at the imperial physician Dai Sigong and said without hesitation:
"Let's go!!! Follow me into the Beiyuan prisoner surrender area!!!"
