Five years as county magistrate, hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain shocked Li Shimin Chapter 327: Successful vaccination, relieving the danger of 50,000 troops
Chapter 327: Successful vaccination, relieving the danger of 50,000 troops
"I have thought of a way and am testing it, but the results are not out yet."
"If you are afraid, how about getting vaccinated now?"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
He touched Li Ke's forehead and it was indeed slightly warm.
But this slight fever cannot confirm that Li Ke was infected with smallpox.
Maybe it's because of the mild fever for other reasons, after all, there are a lot of smallpox cases nowadays.
"Is there any danger?"
Li Ke asked.
He was also not sure whether he had contracted smallpox.
So he was a little hesitant about vaccination.
"The results haven't come out yet, so there are definitely risks."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Although the success rate is already very high.
But the danger is still there, after all, they have not recovered from the vaccination.
"Then I'd better wait."
"Can I come back to you when I'm sure I'm infected with smallpox?"
Li Ke said sarcastically.
If there is something dangerous, he feels that he can wait a little longer.
I have been waiting for three days and I don’t care how many more days I have to wait.
"Then you go back first and avoid contact with others."
Fang Yuan reminded.
After sending Li Ke away, Fang Yuan went to check the vaccinated guards and the soldiers infected with smallpox.
After checking again, the two vaccinated guards actually showed symptoms of fever reduction, which is a great blessing for Fang Yuan and others.
"Maybe it was successful!"
After Sun Simiao learned about it, he personally checked their situation.
After the inspection, he was extremely excited and felt that it should be a success.
This vaccination method is a huge breakthrough for Sun Simiao.
He feels that his medical knowledge has taken a new direction and will make further progress in the future.
In the afternoon, the two guards who had received vaccination woke up and felt much refreshed. They even shouted that they were hungry and wanted to eat.
Regarding this, both Fang Yuan and Sun Simiao knew that the vaccination was successful!
It's almost evening.
The military camp was lifeless.
It doesn't look like a military camp with 50,000 troops at all.
The soldiers hardly left the camp, and even the cooks were in no mood to cook.
Many people developed fevers, and many in the army showed signs of smallpox.
For the soldiers who were extremely frightened, this was an extremely torturous experience.
Some people still want to escape.
But I believe in Sun Simiao more.
Suddenly, the sound of gongs sounded in the military camp.
"Good news, good news, Doctor Sun and Shilang Fang successfully found a way, please soldiers gather in an orderly manner immediately!"
"Good news, good news, Doctor Sun and Shilang Fang successfully found a way, please soldiers gather in an orderly manner immediately!"
"Good news, good news, Doctor Sun and Shilang Fang successfully found a way, please soldiers gather in an orderly manner immediately!"
Several guards announced separately in the military camp.
The voice was like nectar, resounding in the hearts of the soldiers.
"Success?!"
The soldiers exclaimed.
All weakness is swept away.
They walked out of the tent as if they had new hope.
Everyone rushed towards the direction of the military platform and gathered in an orderly manner.
Li Ke, Li Daliang, Niu Jinda and others also heard the news, and their faces turned red with excitement.
In the past few days, the three of them all felt that they had been infected, and they all felt uncomfortable.
But as generals, they did not dare to tell the soldiers below about such things, for fear of causing greater chaos.
Now, when they finally heard the good news, they were so excited that they almost cried.
"Light the torch and light up the troops station!"
Li Ke excitedly arranged.
Let your obedient confidants arrange the next orders.
He didn't know what Fang Yuan and Sun Simiao's methods were like.
But we can know that it will definitely take a long time to handle an army of 50,000.
Not long after, 50,000 troops, whether infected with smallpox or not, gathered at the military station.
The fire here soared into the sky, igniting the darkness and igniting the hearts of the soldiers. They all looked anxiously towards the commanding platform.
Not long after.
Sun Simiao appears.
At this time, he took off his mask.
The appearance of no masks cheered up the soldiers.
They believed that Sun Simiao had really found a way.
But what surprised them was that instead of Sun Simiao explaining the method, he stood aside and Fang Yuan presided over the scene.
"Without further ado, we have successfully found a way."
"Have you seen the ten cows in front? Everyone used a knife to make a wound on their body, and applied the abscess from the cow's milk on the wound to successfully inoculate them."
"After vaccination, symptoms similar to smallpox infection will occur, such as fever, etc., but it doesn't matter. It is a normal phenomenon. I and Sun Simiao will operate it on site for everyone!"
Fang Yuan said loudly.
Make your voice as loud as possible for everyone present to hear.
The soldiers were in an uproar, surprised and suspicious of Fang Yuanshuo's method.
But Fang Yuan expected to encounter suspicion, so he decided to vaccinate Sun Simiao on the spot.
At this moment, it is not completely dark yet, so we can still see clearly the situation and people's behavior.
When Fang Yuan and Sun Simiao personally cut their palms for vaccination, most of the soldiers believed it.
The two generals Li Ke and Li Daliang, who had been informed by Fang Yuan in advance, took the lead and also vaccinated themselves.
But instead of cutting the palm, they made a scar on the arm and then vaccinated.
"Start vaccination!"
Following Li Ke’s order.
Fifty thousand troops lined up in ten lines to inoculate themselves.
Time passes slowly, there are too many people, it takes a long time.
Also because there are too many, a lot of cowpox will be needed.
But fortunately, Fang Yuan had already made preparations, and it wasn't just the ten cows in front of him.
On the first day, he bought dozens of infected cattle back at a high price.
The vaccination went on for a day and a night, and finally everyone was vaccinated.
At this moment, Fang Yuan felt unwell, started to have a fever, and had symptoms of smallpox.
Not only him, but also Li Ke and others, smallpox appeared one after another.
The soldiers began to panic.
But it's still stable, because Fang Yuan and Sun Simiao have talked about the phenomenon.
Moreover, Fang Yuan, Sun Simiao, Li Ke and others were all vaccinated one after another.
Slowly, the military camp fell.
Some soldiers wanted to escape, but they were exhausted after not running for long.
In the following days, Fang Yuan and others recovered one after another, and more people recovered, and smallpox was finally solved.
But among them, many soldiers did not make it through, and hundreds of them died.
Although this is sad news.
But for an army of fifty thousand, a few hundred people are too few.
So Li Ke rewarded the three armies, entertained Fang Yuan and Sun Simiao, and rushed eight hundred miles to send the news back to Chang'an City.
"Okay, great, smallpox can also be solved!"
"Come here, tell me my will, and make Du Miaoyan the first-grade Madam of Haoming."
After Li Shimin learned about the situation, he was excited and overjoyed.
Fang Yuan's trip not only rescued fifty thousand troops, but also rescued the smallpox problem.
From now on, Datang will no longer worry about the emergence of smallpox, and no more people will die due to smallpox.
This is a historic breakthrough, Fang Yuan must be rewarded heavily.
But Fang Yuan’s current position is not good, so why reward him?
And Fang Yuan is not in Chang'an City now.
Then Du Miaoyan is the best to accept the reward, and no one will talk too much.
As the news spread, the city of Chang'an was quickly shaken. From the dignitaries to the common people, everyone was horrified.
Smallpox, which was rumored to be fatal, was actually solved by Fang Yuan and Medicine King?
Moreover, without their knowledge, smallpox actually appeared among the 50,000-strong army in Hebei?
People couldn't believe it.
But the occurrence of smallpox among the 50,000-strong army must not be fake.
So after learning that Li Shimin appointed Du Miaoyan as Mrs. Yipin Haoming, no one had any objections.
Inside the Fang Mansion.
Du Miaoyan breathed a sigh of relief after learning that she had been rewarded.
Yes, I am relieved, not happy about the reward.
Because he received the reward, it proved that Fang Yuan's trip was successful.
Since it is a success, it means there is no danger, and there is no problem with Fang Yuan’s safety.
As the news spread, the entire Tang Dynasty knew this, and Fang Yuan was known to the people of the whole country for the first time.
However, people mostly think that the credit belongs to Medicine King Sun Simiao. After all, Medicine King’s ability in the medical field lies there.
Hebei, military camp.
After the 50,000-strong army celebrated, the old order was restored.
The dead soldiers were cremated on the spot to prevent them from bringing back smallpox.
After the mission was over, Fang Yuan and Sun Simiao were ready to return to Chang'an City.
Including the time for returning from this trip, half a month has passed.
But before we even set off, new problems arose.
Smallpox patients appear outside the military camp.
In Hebei, besides the military camps, there were also people infected with smallpox in other places.
The smallpox in the military camp was contracted from outside, but no one knew it.
Now that the people in Hebei learned that Sun Simiao and Fang Yuan had solved smallpox in the military camp, they all flocked over.
At a glance, there are actually thousands of them.
"Your Highness, the scouts reported that smallpox has appeared in many places in Hebei."
"People infected with smallpox were imprisoned, and their fate was life or death."
"I came here after I learned that we had solved smallpox."
There are reports from soldiers.
These days, the rebels in Hebei have not attacked Li Ke's army.
They were afraid that they would be infected with smallpox if they came into contact with Li Ke's army.
Although they were not infected with smallpox, people in many places in Hebei were infected with smallpox.
The usual way to deal with people infected with smallpox is to isolate them in a place and leave them to their fate.
"Fang Yuan, Doctor Sun, please save them."
Li Ke said in a deep voice.
They are all ordinary people and cannot ignore death.
This time the army invaded Hebei, the shock effect has not been effective, but it is not necessary.
As long as smallpox is cured, the people of Hebei will be grateful and it will play a role in subduing them.
"Let's start with this and leave the rest to His Highness."
Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.
It’s been too long since I left, and I don’t want to stay for that long anymore.
After all, Du Miaoyan has just become pregnant, so it would not be good to leave her for too long.
At the same time, giving it to Li Ke can also sell Li Ke a favor. He has to be grateful to himself.
"Okay."
Li Ke's eyes lit up and he nodded heavily.
As long as Fang Yuan tells him the method, then the credit for executing it himself will be greater.
When the time comes, after Banshi returns to the court, his own brilliance will outshine Li Tai and others.
Regarding Fang Yuan's favor, Li Kecheng took the next step.
"By the way, there should be no war next. I want to take Xue Bowu back."
Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.
He has met Xue Bowu several times.
Xue Bowu is doing well now, and he has made some achievements during this trip to Hebei.
"No problem."
Li Ke had no objection.
He can make the decision on this matter.
Afterwards, Fang Yuan and Sun Simiao began to vaccinate the people who came and went.
When the people in Hebei saw Fang Yuan and Sun Simiao walking over without any protection, they were immediately moved to tears.
This situation shows that the 50,000-strong army really solved the smallpox problem.
"Dear fellow villagers, I am Fang Yuan, the Minister of Household Affairs, and this is Sun Simiao, the King of Medicine."
"We have found a way to prevent smallpox. Please don't panic, line up, and we will treat you."
"In addition, treatment is risky, because you have already been infected, and some people may have accidents during the treatment process."
Fang Yuan said loudly.
Order soldiers to control the scene.
Li Ke is also here, and he personally presides over the scene.
After learning that King Li Ke of Shu was also there, the people were once again moved to tears.
Afterwards, Fang Yuan and Sun Simiao demonstrated vaccination with cowpox, and then handed the scene over to Li Ke.
The number of people is not large, so it is not a problem for Li Ke and others to operate.
Seeing that Li Ke already knew what to do, Fang Yuan and Sun Simiao started to return with Xue Bowu.
In the car, Fang Yuan and Sun Simiao were riding in Li Shimin's chariot.
"Fang Xiaoyou, why don't you stay?"
"This will greatly improve your reputation."
Sun Simiao expressed confusion.
Officials all want to have more fame.
Fang Yuan is the Minister of Household Affairs, so he will definitely cherish his reputation even more.
"It's almost enough, but too much is never enough."
"Besides, Miaoyan is just pregnant, so I have to go back to stay with her."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
In addition to Du Miaoyan's new pregnancy, there was another reason why he didn't want to stay.
That is, solving the smallpox virus involves the entire Tang Dynasty, and even other countries further away.
This kind of reputation is enough, otherwise it will cause adverse consequences and bring you additional troubles.
"You really have a calmness that ordinary people don't have."
Sun Simiao chuckled.
I have a deeper understanding of Fang Yuan.
Considering Fang Yuan's age, it is really rare to have such a calm character.
Cooperating with Fang Yuan to study human experiments, Sun Simiao felt that he could not make a mistake.
"It's just that I have more experience."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
Being human in two lifetimes, we encountered many hardships when we traveled back and forth.
Nowadays, it is natural to have such composure.
The road is still long, life has just begun, Fang Yuan knows that he has to be more careful.
"By the way, how on earth do you know that cowpox can protect against smallpox?"
Sun Simiao thought of this issue again.
When he came over, he asked Fang Yuan this question.
However, Fang Yuan said that we would talk about it later, and he didn’t think of this issue until now.
How does a civil servant know how to prevent smallpox, which all doctors don't know how to prevent?
"Actually, I saw it in an ancient book."
"But I think no one will believe me if I say it like this."
"So I thought I would tell you the truth after testing."
Fang Yuan smiled and said.
He has already thought of his words.
Just waiting for Sun Simiao to ask.
"Are the ancient books still there?"
Sun Simiao's eyes suddenly lit up.
Ancient books that can record the defense against smallpox must be priceless.
"Sorry, I don't know where I went."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
"Oh, what a pity."
Sun Simiao shook his head and said.
Afterwards, the two chatted about various things.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped and someone blocked the way outside.
