But apart from abandoning the infected person, they had nothing to do, and they did not even dare to leave alone.

The team finally arrived in Xuzhou, but were blocked on the other side of the Huaihe River and were not allowed to cross.

Every day, Datong soldiers patrolled the river in rowing boats and drove back those who tried to cross the river. This was extremely inhumane, but it was necessary. The plague must not be allowed to spread southward.

"I have a way, maybe I can give it a try." Sun Chuanting said.

Cao Bianjiao asked: "What can I do?"

Sun Chuanting finally told the truth: "We have a prince on board, we just want to see if the other side will let him go."

Two merchant ships sailed to the center of the river, and soon the Datong Army came by boat.

The soldier raised his musket and shouted: "Go back immediately. If you dare to cross the river again, we will be waiting with artillery fire from the shore!"

Concubine Tian held her infant son who was suffering from fever, knelt on the deck and said loudly: "Concubine Tian of the Ming Dynasty, please take the prince and ask the King of Wu to take him in!"

The soldiers did not dare to neglect and went back to report to their superiors.

Fei Ruhe discussed with the magistrate of Xuzhou and agreed to allow these people to cross the river, but they must be isolated by the river for a month.

Not only Concubine Tian, ​​but also other people who smuggled across the country were treated in this way.

There are always people taking advantage of loopholes to cross the border secretly, can they all be driven back? Some of Zhao Han's territories are not blocked by rivers, so it is easier for people to come over.

At the borders of jurisdictions, in counties, villages and towns, grassroots officials and farmers' associations are already functioning.

The people were mobilized to defend themselves in groups. Once strangers entered the village, they were immediately driven to the outermost edge of the village and ordered to isolate themselves for at least a month.

After a month when they haven't gotten sick, they are asked to boil water and boil their clothes, and their whole bodies are washed several times before they can be allowed to take refuge in the village.

Shandong has already exploded, North Zhili is about to explode, and after the Manchus enter the country, they will find themselves in a land of plague.
