“What I just mentioned is a way to prevent smallpox through vaccination with cowpox.

"Although there is no very clear and effective targeted treatment solution for patients who have been infected with smallpox plague, there are still supportive therapies to help them recover better."

"Any patient infected with smallpox must be strictly isolated until they recover!"

"The isolation period must not be less than forty days after the onset of illness. Clothing, utensils, respiratory secretions, and herpes exudates must be strictly disinfected and destroyed!!"

"During the isolation period, provide adequate hydration and nutrition as much as possible."

“For example, drink a lot of milk, soy milk, orange juice, tomato juice (these natural drinks are rich in electrolytes), and other nutritional supplements, and use drugs to control high fever or pain during the disease.

"In addition, we need to strengthen care and keep our eyes, mouth, nose, and skin clean, etc."

"This is currently the most effective way to prevent and treat smallpox plague!!!"

Yan Changqing explained all in one breath how to prevent and treat smallpox and how to use supportive therapy to make smallpox patients survive as much as possible.

After hearing Yan Changqing's words, Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as all the civil and military officials present, breathed a sigh of relief.

The smallpox plague is not really unsolvable, at least there is still a method to prevent and cure acne through vaccination!!!

Looking at the relaxed Zhu Yuanzhang and all the civil and military officials, Yan Changqing's face was still solemn and he said:

"It won't be a problem to inoculate His Majesty and all the civil and military officials present with cowpox to prevent and control the smallpox plague."

"The most troublesome thing is the 100,000 Northern Expedition troops outside Yingtianfu City. It is not easy to inoculate them all with cowpox."

"First, a large number of cattle are needed. Only by infecting as many cattle as possible with smallpox can we obtain enough cowpox to inoculate 100,000 Northern Expedition troops!!!"

"Second, we need to have enough doctors. During the period when the 100,000 troops of the Northern Expedition are being isolated and vaccinated against cowpox, there must be enough doctors to patrol the military camps day and night to provide timely response to the soldiers who have adverse reactions!!!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately decided:

"In this Northern Expedition, we captured more than 50,000 cattle, more than 30,000 sheep, and more than 10,000 horses!!!"

"All the cows are used to make cowpox!!!"

"If it's not enough, we will continue to recruit cattle from the common people!!!"

"As for the doctors, from now on, all the doctors in the imperial hospital will obey Qi Bo's orders!!!"

"In addition, all the doctors in Yingtian Mansion have also been recruited, and they are all at the mercy of Qi Bo's orders!!!"

"In addition, any money, food and materials needed to prevent and treat the smallpox plague will be at Qibo's disposal!!!"

"In short, at all costs, we must inoculate all the 100,000 Northern Expedition troops with cowpox!!!"

"Even the hundreds of thousands of people in Yingtian Mansion, we have to vaccinate them all with cowpox!!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang is now determined to solve the problem of smallpox plague no matter what the cost.

Faced with Zhu Yuanzhang's decision, no one among the civil and military officials present had any objections.

After all, they themselves are still at risk of contracting the smallpox plague. If they stop the promotion of cowpox vaccination, wouldn't it be a disguised form of preventing themselves from being vaccinated against cowpox?!

So not only will they not stop Zhu Yuanzhang's decision to promote cowpox vaccination, they will even strongly support Zhu Yuanzhang's decision!!!

Yan Changqing, who received strong support from Zhu Yuanzhang, softened his expression slightly, but still frowned and said:

"The situation here in Yingtian Mansion is relatively good. What really worries me is the situation of the other fifty Northern Expedition troops [and the prisoners of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who were infected with the Unflower Plague in Tushifang!ㄖ!"

"Even Beiyuan could not do such a thing openly and openly, letting his soldiers be infected with the smallpox plague.

"Because once you do this, you will definitely lose the morale of the military and the people!!!"

"Among the 200,000 prisoners surrendered by the Northern Yuan Dynasty, there may be a small number of prisoners surrendered by the Northern Yuan Dynasty who are willing to choose to be infected with the smallpox plague and die together with the Ming Dynasty for the sake of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

"But the vast majority of the prisoners surrendered by the Northern Yuan Dynasty were unlikely to be willing to actively contract the smallpox plague and die together with the Ming Dynasty for the sake of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

"After all, before my cowpox vaccination cure came along, once they got infected with the smallpox plague, they were basically resigned to their fate!!!"

"Most people would not be willing to actively seek death."

"So the most likely way Bei Yuan would do it was to secretly infect some of the dead soldiers with the smallpox plague, and then mix them into the 200,000 Bei Yuan prisoners.

"Finally, through the dead soldiers, 200,000 Bei Yuan surrendered prisoners were infected, and then through the 200,000 Bei Yuan surrendered prisoners, the Ming soldiers were further infected!!!"

While saying these words, Yan Changqing had been secretly paying attention to the changes in the expressions of Enke Choriktu and other important prisoners of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Seeing the sudden stagnation of Nkezoliktu, Yan Changqing took a breath and said with a calm expression on his face:

"It seems I guessed it right."

Hearing Yan Changqing's words, Enkezoliktu struggled crazily again, as if he wanted to hide something.

"OSIOSIOS..."

However, after Yan Changqing got the information he wanted, he turned away from him and continued his analysis:

"The shortest incubation period of smallpox is five days, the longest incubation period is sixteen days, and the common incubation period is ten to twelve days!!!"

"From the time when more than 200,000 Beiyuan prisoners were defeated and captured, to the sixteenth day of the first lunar month when the good news came back, about half a month passed, which happened to be the cycle of a smallpox outbreak."

"So the first group of people who died who were infected with the smallpox virus should have already started the outbreak at this time."

"However, when Wei Guogong and others received news of their success, there was no mention of the smallpox plague."

Hearing this, the faces of the Northern Expedition generals including Duke Xu Da of Wei, Duke Feng Sheng of Song, Duke Fu Youde of Ying, and Hou Lanyu of Yongchang who were still kneeling turned pale.

Yan Changqing calmly glanced at the Northern Expedition generals including Wei Duke Xu Da, Song Duke Feng Sheng, Ying Duke Fu Youde, and Yongchang Hou Lanyu, and then continued:

"If the smallpox plague suddenly broke out among the prisoners of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and Wei Guogong and others knew about it, then naturally they would not say anything about it.

"But the smallpox plague broke out during the surrender of prisoners in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but the victory report did not mention the smallpox plague."

"Then the only possibility is that Wei Guogong and others did not know that the smallpox plague had appeared among the prisoners surrendered by the Northern Yuan Dynasty!!!"

"If Wei Guogong and others didn't know that the smallpox plague had already appeared among the prisoners of the Northern Yuan Dynasty at that time, the only possibility is that there were too few prisoners of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who showed symptoms of smallpox plague infection, maybe only a few hundred people. ”

"And it was scattered and not concentrated, so it didn't attract enough attention."

"After all, there were a total of 200,000 prisoners surrendered by the Bei Yuan. Not to mention the hundreds of dead soldiers from the Bei Yuan who were infected with smallpox. Even if hundreds of people died, it would still be a waste if they were thrown into the 200,000 prisoners. It may not be able to make a big splash!!!”

"After that, half a month had passed from the sixteenth day of the first lunar month when the good news came back to today's February 2nd when Banshi returned to the court. This cycle was the second outbreak cycle of the smallpox plague.

“Due to the fact that the first wave of Bei Yuan dead soldiers infected with smallpox virus were dispersed, the number of Bei Yuan prisoners who were infected with smallpox virus for the second time increased greatly. 11

"So shortly after Wei Guogong and others took the lead and returned to Beijing, the 500,000 Northern Expedition troops led by Cao Guogong and others, as well as 200,000 Northern Yuan prisoners, ushered in the second wave of large-scale smallpox infection outbreak!! !”

"Afterwards, Cao Guogong and others noticed the smallpox plague among the prisoners surrendered by the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and they immediately sent the School Disciple to send the message back."

"I want to prevent His Majesty from meeting the prisoners surrendered by the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and even want to prevent His Majesty from meeting Wei Guogong and others who may also be at risk of contracting the smallpox plague."

After Yan Changqing explained the process of the smallpox plague infection outbreak that he had thought about, Zhu Yuanzhang and all the civil and military officials present couldn't help but nodded.

After all, whether it is judging from the expressions and reactions of the important surrendered prisoners of the Northern Yuan Dynasty such as Enke Zhuoliktu, or judging from the attitude of the imperial physician Dai Sigong in recognizing the incubation period of smallpox mentioned by Yan Changqing throughout the whole process.

Yan Changqing’s considerations are well-founded and convincing!
