Chapter XIII Recommendations

On October 19, 1910, five freighters arrived in Shanghai, China. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a large number of various materials were unloaded from Shanghai, these freighters did not stop for repairs, nor did they return directly to the United States, but turned around and headed north to Port Arthur.

A massive amount of supplies worth more than a million dollars was unloaded from Port Arthur.

Along with these shipments, a team from the Huntelaar Medical School - plague experts led by Professor Adrian arrived in Northeast China. Carrying large quantities of disinfectants, sulfonamides and other supplies, these people arrived in Mukden and then Harbin after a long overland transport. The difficulty of transshipment of a huge amount of goods, combined with John's misjudgment in timing, led to their arrival in Harbin on the last day before the New Year!

Luckily, though, they eventually caught up!

Adrian can't understand John? Mr. Huntelaar's order, but it was carried out completely and thoroughly. Therefore, in the conference room of the American Consulate, he relied on his own prestige, and of course, more importantly, the prestige of Mr. Huntelaar, to strongly suppress the resistance of Menis and others, and also persuaded all the foreign consuls to start supporting the only Chinese in the room - Wu Liande!

Everything began to be designed according to Wu Liande!

After a quick negotiation with Shi Zhaoji and Xiliang, the governor of the three eastern provinces, with the help of John? The name Huntelaar was soon agreed with the Russians and the Japanese: from January 3, 1911, all railways in the Northeast began to be severely restricted! In addition to these necessary vehicles, the War Department sent troops to the Shanhaiguan Customs, and all vehicles entering the customs must be observed for seven days before they are allowed to enter the customs.

As soon as this order was issued, it caused an uproar.

The time is approaching the end of the year, and many people who are trying to make a living outside the customs have to return to the customs to celebrate the New Year, and this order has undoubtedly increased the cost of returning home, and added a lot of uncertainty. So when two sick people were found on a train on the 13th, and all the laborers were placed in Mukden for seven days of observation before they were allowed to leave, the people broke out completely. More than 100 laborers rioted and fled from the inn in Liuguan, and then the incidence of illness in Mukden began to rise sharply......

The order that "if anyone dares to sneak away, kill them immediately to put an end to future troubles" was issued a few days later.

In addition, with the help of Professor Adrian, Wu Liande started his road to controlling the epidemic as in history, and the countless trucks of goods provided him with the most timely help!

At the suggestion of Professor Adrian, the first thing Wu Liande did was to transfer a large number of troops!

Xiliang, the governor of the three eastern provinces, gave the greatest support, and an infantry regiment began to blockade the city, while the original hundreds of policemen were divided into hundreds of groups by Wu Liande and placed under his own command. Under his command, Fujiadian was divided into 4 districts. Each district has a dedicated physician in charge. Under each physician there are police, laborers, and dozens of inspection teams that conduct daily home inspections. Isolate patients as soon as they are identified and thoroughly disinfected with disinfectant brought in by trucks......

Residents of each district are required to wear armbands and can only move in their own districts, and they must have a pass for the districts, and military personnel are no exception.

On the second day after taking power, Wu Liande was very pleasantly surprised to find that there was a large amount of sterilized cotton cloth in the materials delivered by the countless trucks, which could immediately make the "Wu's mask" he designed, which greatly alleviated the shortage of masks. And the order that everyone must wear masks when going out, because the timely supply of these goods was immediately ordered. It's just that for the Chinese people of this era, it is obviously impossible for them to wear uncomfortable masks honestly, so few people really take him seriously, until more than ten days later they found that most of the newly infected patients were people who did not wear masks, and they understood the meaning of this order......

In the process of controlling the epidemic, Wu Liande pioneered the concept of a suspected ward. According to the conditions of the patients he treated, the hospitals were divided into epidemic hospitals, mild hospitals, suspected hospitals and epidemic prevention hospitals, which not only provided treatment for patients with different conditions, but also avoided cross-infection between them. At the suggestion of Professor Adrian, in fact, Mr. Huntelaar, Woollende found the Russians and took hundreds of train cars as temporary quarantine camps for the families and contacts of plague patients, as well as suspected people with coughing and other symptoms. The doctor will see you daily and release you from isolation if your body temperature is normal for 7 consecutive days. Because a stove was provided for heating and three meals a day, some of the poor were even happy to go home......

After a series of orders, Wu Liande's support arrived.

What touched Wu Liande was that although only two of his own students came with him, after the Qing government released the news, a large number of Chinese and foreign physicians and students from other medical schools came enthusiastically and became the elite force under him. On the one hand, he reported to the Qing court, gave generous remuneration to the doctors and students who came, and formulated pensions, such as 10,000 taels of silver for doctors, 5,000 taels of silver for students, etc., on the other hand, Xiliang was not merciful to some officials, investigated and punished many officials who were unfavorable for epidemic prevention, and even ordered all telegrams related to the epidemic to be free of charge, etc.

Like a rusty machine, it began to turn slowly under the command of Wu Liande.

The appearance of Professor Adrian has been of great help to Wu Liande, regardless of John? Huntelaar's fame or the heritage of Huntelaar Bank have made people from all over the world obey their words. The rapid spread of the epidemic has caused Beijing to panic and fully support the measures of Xiliang and Wu Liande. Only a small number of foreign doctors were still unconvinced, such as the Frenchman, who insisted that Wu Liande's theory of droplet transmission was ridiculous, and then insisted on treating patients without masks, and contracted the plague three days later. Despite the immediate use of sulfonamides, aggressive rehydration therapy, and even the use of his own vaccine, Menis died in Hafkin's hospital room ten days later......

Menis's death took everyone by surprise!

In fact, from the day Menis was infected, everyone began to strictly implement Wu Liande's order to wear masks, which made Wu Liande speechless. No matter how he appealed, there were always people who questioned him, but the death of one Menis made people start to obey his orders, and for a while Wu Liande didn't know whether he should be sad or happy about Menis's death......

In January 1911, the plague outbreak entered its most dangerous time!

With the support of Professor Adrian and the Huntelaar Foundation, things are going much better than in another world. With the help of Professor Adrian, Wu Liande's measures in this world were more perfect, and the implementation was more rapid, but when everything was in order for a week, the number of cases per day still did not drop to a satisfactory level - hundreds of people fell ill every day, and the maximum day was more than 170 deaths!

This result makes Wu Liande troubled every day.

The book of Huntelaar infectious diseases in the house was almost all destroyed by Wu Liande. He really couldn't understand why so many people were sick after he had already cleaned the places where the Chinese people lived, cleaned and disinfected them every day, and at the same time isolated all the patients and contacts, ordered people to wear masks, gloves, and isolation gowns.

In this book of infectious diseases, Wu Liande has never been able to find the answer!

While Wu Liande was meditating, Professor Adrian suddenly received a telegram from New York, USA, and then found Wu Liande with a strange look and handed the telegram to him: "Wu, this is John?" A telegram from Mr. Huntelaar with a suggestion in it......"

"What advice?"

Being woken up from his contemplation, Wu Liande couldn't react for a while, and asked a little blankly.

"This ......"

After a moment's hesitation, Professor Adrian shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You better see for yourself......"

Wu Liande, who had already come back to his senses, suddenly became curious, and hurriedly opened the telegram in his hand and quickly browsed it. The telegram was very long, three pages long, but Wu Liande was also very fast, and he could basically read it in just one minute.

Merely......

The more he saw the end, the more strange his expression became, as if he had suddenly realized, with the surprise after the puzzle, and at the same time with a hint of trepidation, as if he had seen something terrifying, and his face, which was already pale because of exhaustion, quickly became gray......
