0255 Plague
I only heard the sharp voice of the black father-in-law and said: "The empress dowager and the two imperial concubines, the 'Minister of Civil Affairs' are sparse, and the 'Huadu' has been affected by merchants in Liangzhou. Recently, the epidemic has been spreading all over the imperial city. This epidemic has been transmitted by one person. The whole family has spread the second time, and there are many people who have died, and there are no coffins." Huadu's nine gates sunrise with tens of thousands of coffins, and the traveler hides his face-"
"The decree: 'Taiyuan Hospital' has a department to set up medicine to resettle plague patients, and the 'Ministry of Civil Affairs' will send personnel to supervise and apply drugs;
If the body is killed by the epidemic, his or her body will be buried immediately. According to the number of deaths from the plague in each household, it will be allocated by the 'Ministry of Finance', and the Holy See will grant different burial fees;
ze 'Nine City Soldiers' to supervise and patrol the city, and immediately bury the unburied corpses found to prevent the spread of the plague;
If the orphan is less than ten years old, his relatives shall be ordered to be responsible for the upbring. The court can provide two months of rations for relief. The list of orphans shall be reported to the governor of the 'Zhongzhou', which shall be responsible for the eight provincial ministries and the 'Zhongzhou' governors. Eight prisons and 24 guards shall help supervise them. Those who dare to corrupt the goods and cheat will be severely punished;
Today, when there is a pandemic, the two states are exempted from tax and reduced their service for three years-
The Empress Dowager has a flexible speech, clear thinking, and promulgation of the will to deal with the aftermath. She is orderly, flawless, and quite benevolent.
Next, listening to the words of the black eight princes reading the words of each cabinet minister, the tragedy of the epidemic in Beijing, and the urgency of the current situation, through the report of cabinet ministers, it was vividly presented in front of the superiors.
In fact, before this, the secret agents of Xuanwuwei and Shenshewei had reported the "Huadu" epidemic to the palace in a day. The people present have been clear about the current severe situation. "Huadu" is dying every day, and the imperial capital of the Holy See will become a plague city and a dead city.
In the past few days, not only Mei Yuxuan and other imperial doctors of the "Tai Hospital" have made great efforts to ask His Majesty the Pope to evacuate to avoid the plague, but even Nalan, a senior class of important ministers in the cabinet, could not sit still at this time and asked the Pope to drive east to the camp to avoid the plague.
Borrowing the inspection of the place to avoid plague and settle the hearts of the people of the imperial capital is out of helplessness. Can't the young Pope be put on the hat of abandoning the people of the imperial capital, ignoring the life and death of believers, and fleeing for his own life, can he? This is certain for the royal migration, so why must we choose to go east to Yingzhou?
To put it simply and clearly, in Kyushu, Zhong, Ying, Liang, Tang, Sha, Yuan, Huo, Rui and Ming, except for Yingzhou, which is relatively peaceful, the other eight states are either famine or mutiny, and the situation is extremely unstable. For the safety of the royal family, choosing Yingzhou in the east seems to be the best and only place to go.
Another main reason for the royal family and cabinet ministers to have this tendency is that half a month ago, Xu Yushi, the governor of Yingzhou, wrote: under the rule of Yingzhou, there was a river worker who dug out a stone tablet at the bottom of the "Black River" riverbed with astronomy. Later, the way was translated by the witch Yuyu, which was "the Hundred Leaf Dynasty moved the capital to "This place is flourishing" and other words, all the officials and people in the land thought that the shaman showed auspicious omen and ran to tell each other. The governor did not dare to hide it. They sent heavy soldiers to take care of the monument and sent the article to listen to it.
No matter how credible this monument is, in a word, it affects the measures of the cabinet ministers and the royal family to move the capital to avoid plague. At the same time, it also gives the Baiye Imperial Dynasty the irresible and shameless behavior of abandoning the plague victims of the "Huadu" and escaping disaster, and a reason to deceive themselves.
Xia Zhanmei's eyes flashed with a strange brilliance. After listening to the report of the black father-in-law, he obviously had made a decision and said, "Yes, the above items were played by the 'Tai Hospital' and the cabinet, and all the above items were approved, so that the provincial ministries of the cabinet and the governor of Zhongzhou would be immediately handled and implemented at their discretion;
The imperial family of the imperial capital was ordered to donate medical supplies to the church and the 'Tai Hospital' to relieve the epidemic. His Majesty issued another 50,000 gold, and the harem concubines donated 10,000 gold to help purchase and purchase medicine, and the imperial pharmacy specially allocated 20,000 catties of plague-proof medicinal materials to save the people;
Order Tang, Rui, Ying, Sha, Huo, Yuan and Ming local governor officials to inspect the localities, cut off the post roads of the exiles in the two states of Zhong and Liang, and prevent them from getting worse. If they encounter an epidemic disease, they will be punished by doctors to apply medicine, and there must be no mistake!"
After saying these words, Xia Zhanmei just asked his subordinates to follow the rules and choose to do so. They all did not mention the core issue of "whether to leave Beijing to avoid the plague". The whole palace was terrible. After all, the royal family left Beijing to avoid the plague. This is not a small matter. Hundreds of thousands of people came in and exited, soldiers and horses were mobilized, at least. The whole state is going to be a mess.
Soon, after taking up the tea cup and sipping a small mouthful of fragrant tea, the Empress Dowager Xia opened her eyebrows and lips gently and ordered:
"In other terms, the whole territory of Zhongzhou and Liangzhou is forbidden, and business travel is prohibited, and immune diseases are spread. Officials and officials are not allowed to be killed, regardless of their dignity or inferiority;
It is ordered Xu Yushi, the governor of Xuanying Prefecture, and Sha Yan, the commander of Tianlangguan, to prepare troops and horses, and strictly prepare the place, the pope, the empress dowager, the imperial concubine, the prince, the prince, the princess, the priest, the cabinet, Gong'e, the eunuch, and the pro-guards to patrol the capital of the Yingzhou 'Wind Capital';
G Hua, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies, to take the lead in preparing royal residences and all royal things in the 'Wind Capital' government;
According to the old example of the previous dynasty, a royal line was set up, and four ministers and eight deputy ministers were selected from the eight provincial ministries of the cabinet;
Order Duan Qi, who held the sword and supervised Duan Qi, held the divine sword of Xilin Sefu, and ordered the 150,000 guards of the royal guard army to follow; Zhu Yi, the imperial ceremonial inspector, and the 24th guards of Qinglong, the commander of Qinglong Wei, also accompanied him to the north; Zheng Liu, who was in charge of the seal supervisor, and ordered the black eight imperial courtiers; the holy nun An Yidan accompanied the driver. ;
Order the British Prince Baiye Liufeng's Admiral Jiucheng soldiers and horses, restrain the Zhongzhou township soldiers and reserve army, give them divine staff, rectify the capital, train the military horses, guard the imperial capital, comfort the epidemic people, ban thieves, cheer up common affairs, and allow His Highness to act cheaply.
Xia Zhanmei's continuous orders, Gu Fei and Yuan Fei were not very clear about the deep meaning. Several eunuchs present were shocked and secretly said, "What a powerful woman!"
After this mobilization, Xia Zhanmei has captured the military power of 30,000 to 400,000 royal elite troops in their own hands. In the extraordinary period of the outbreak of the plague, who dares to say more about mobilizing a large army to follow the Pope?
And Baiye Liufeng, the cousin of Pope Baiye Mufeng, who has always been hostile to the "Queen Concubine Party", Prince Baiye Liufeng, the admiral of the capital, and the "Huadu" where the plague is rampant, is equivalent to losing a "hot potato" in the hands of Baiye Liufeng. If you win, you will have no success, and if you lose, you will be guilty. It is the queen concubine group that cut off the backbone of the Baiye royal family. Great opportunity.
The nine-city soldiers of "Huadu" have accumulated military equipment for many years. Although there are 390,000 registered, there are only 112,000 trainers, and there are no pay, and there are no dispatch. Most of them are old, weak, tired, market traffickers, and armor and equipment are temporarily taken, among which are transferred, battalion officers, and fingers Most of the hakama officials are the children of the world's noble relatives. They blindly occupy the camp and pay their own names. The reserve army is also known as the "noble nursing home". They are all private soldiers of nobles, bullying men and women, but fighting and training is more difficult than killing them. In the past, "Liangzhou" fought against "Wusa Kingdom" The service was cited as a joke by other countries.
If the wind is greatly rectified, it will be obstructed by the generals, which will greatly offend the family of the patriarchal. Everyone in the Holy See knows the old saying that "it is not difficult to be a government, and you can't offend the huge room", so there is no need to think about the end of offending the powerful clan. You don't have to know that His Royal Highness will become more disasters in the future. Difficult;
If Qiao Baiye is perfunctorily, and the Pope can't explain it after the incident, but he can't explain it. The wonderful thing is to "reorganize the Gyeonggi" and "His Highness Xu to act cheaply". He has been oracced to grant you the privilege and let you rectify the Gyeonggi. Why is perfunctory? This question alone is enough to ask for the order of the British Prince!
The major eunuchs calculate that their own interests have not been damaged, and they can also take the opportunity to reap great benefits. Naturally, they will no longer be interested in taking care of other people's lives. What's more, Baiye Liufeng usually hates these eunuchs for their power and never pretends to say goodbye to them.
Xia Zhanmei just gave a broad order, and when implementing it, how to issue an oracle in the tone of Pope Mufeng can make cabinet ministers, eight provincial officials and generals who specifically command the soldiers and horses immediately obey the order. The eunuchs have their own experience and know how to handle the proportions, not only can Things are done on both sides, and you can get benefits from the middle.
If they can survive now, they naturally have one or two unique tricks on how to take power and ask for bribes. While calculating their own small calculations, the powerful eunuchs saluted and walked away according to their orders.
