Three hundred and fifty plague outbreak
Phitanulok Prefecture, the location of the Myanmar Army Camp, has been particularly busy these days.
Some Burmese soldiers covered their faces with cloth of various colors and styles in groups, carrying the bodies of some former comrades who could never wake up from the military camp, throw them into the big pit they had dug earlier, and then put some igniting items in them. When the big pit was full, they would ignite the fire and burn it.
Originally they planned to bury it, but their head coach, Prince Min Qide, said that the bodies of these brave soldiers cannot be left on the dirty land where they live, and they must be allowed to return to their hometown. How to get them back to their hometown is a very serious issue. Take the bodies back? Obviously, it is impossible, the bodies will rot.
The answer is about to come out - burn it and turn it into ashes, bring it back.
The heavy rain lasted for three days and three nights before stopping. Min Qide sent a messenger to contact the Servant Team to bring back the news that they were blocked by the heavy rain and could not march at all. It was only two or three days away, but they were blocked and unable to walk. The muddy land and the skyrocketing water level after the heavy rain made the Burmese army miserable.
This has caused the main Burmese soldiers in Phitsanulok to suffer. A large number of soldiers could not find a place to stay in the rain. A few tents and houses were either occupied by generals or filled with them. They could not be stuffed in even one person. The remaining tens of thousands of Burmese soldiers could not find a place to shelter from the rain. They could only try their best to find some things that were not burned from Phitsanulok's ruins. No matter what it was, they would first build them to shelter from the rain.
But it is just a rain shed without any measures to keep warm.
It was raining heavily and the wet and cold wind blew. The soldiers could neither dry their bodies nor put on dry clothes. They could only wait helplessly in the heavy rain. One day, two days, three days, when the weather cleared and the sun shone again, many soldiers found that their comrades around them were already lying on the ground with hot bodies and unconsciousness.
The first dead man appeared at this time, and then the second, the third, in just three hours, from morning to afternoon, more than 100 soldiers died of illness in the entire Myanmar military camp in Phitsanulo. Min Kaide didn't feel it was too serious at first, because the camp was too big, the news spread and data statistics were too slow. It was not until the 500th soldier who died of illness appeared and more infections came that he realized that the situation was already very serious.
This is a contagious plague!
However, things had exceeded his imagination. When he knew that the doctors were dead, the situation was far more serious than he knew.
He remembered that in the last battle where he followed his grandfather Mang Yinglong went to war more than ten years ago, when a plague broke out in the camp, more than a thousand soldiers died, and more than two thousand people were infected. Seeing that the camp was out of protection, Mang Yinglong made up his mind to put the more than three thousand people together and isolate them, kill them all with muskets, and then burned them with a fire to save the main force of the army. That was after that, Mang Yinglong fell ill and passed away soon after.
The Burmese people do not have a sufficiently developed medical system, and they are basically still in the era of witch doctors. After the Westerners came, they brought bloodletting therapy. However, this is also the Western witch doctor method. The Eastern witch doctors and Western witch doctors gather together, and they often get stinking tricks. Not to mention treatment, there are many examples of deaths on their own. Therefore, in the eyes of the Burmese people, the most effective way to deal with plague is to discover, isolate, shoot, and burn it with fire.
After one-stop service, any plague can be eliminated. Of course, it will be eliminated and has never been cured. This tradition has existed in the Burmese military camp. Once patients similar to plague appear in the camp, if the military doctor cannot treat it, they will be isolated and killed directly to avoid harming the army.
This time the situation was different. It was discovered late, and the first batch of military doctors were destroyed. When everyone found that the dead went to find the military doctors, they found that more than ten military doctors died in a group, and none of them survived. Then everyone began to panic and reported to Min Qide. Min Qide was furious about the fact that the traitors could not come and could not rescue him. He killed three messengers in a row. Suddenly, he heard the news that the plague had started again, and almost fainted.
No, amazing, big things are not good!
He immediately ordered the soldiers to dig a hole outside the camp and ordered the soldiers to throw the dead bodies into the pit. He wanted to bury them, but after thinking about his grandfather's actions, he felt that it was safest to burn them, so he issued an order saying that the soldiers could not tolerate them burying them on the enemy's land, so they had to burn them all.
Now that people realize that the plague is a minority, most of the people who have experienced the bloody scene are now officers. Min Kaide convened an officer meeting and announced his decision.
When no one noticed it, let these officers take their own guards, hold muskets, and cooperate with the Franchise muskets to bring the sick and those with infection symptoms into the camp in the isolation area, and then block it. Be careful when acting, and do not cause restlessness among the sick people. It was because of the restlessness of the sick people that a group of Mang Yinglong's guards who should have died also died.
Min Kaide will not repeat the same mistakes.
His plan went very smoothly. He knew that the cruel officers and the Westerners who had no psychological burden were the quickest to act. They searched for sick soldiers everywhere, and then carried them out to say it was treatment. No one suspected the healthy soldiers, and no one suspected the sick and conscious soldiers did not doubt them. They followed them honestly and lie down in the isolation camp. They saw that there were all sick people around, and some people covered in cloth asked their names one by one, so they felt relieved.
However, they did not know that not far away, the Burmese Musketeers and the Foreigners Musketeers were ready, and the materials for the fire camp were ready, gradually piled up the entire isolation camp, and a fire was inevitable.
Min Qide was not a heart-warming heart, and he didn't want these elite soldiers who were constantly being carried in to die like this. The training and journey of becoming an elite soldier were hard, and it also required a lot of government investment. Everyone was his heart and an important support for him to flatten the Siam and kill the Ming army. Now the big battle has not yet begun, he took the lead in killing people. He did not aim his gun at the enemy, but he actually pointed it at his own people first. He felt so blocked that he thought it.
"Is there really no way to do it?"
