When the first winter snow fell this year, the lights of the Army Medical Hall outside Wuchang City were reflected through the glass windows of Western-style buildings. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Army Medical Hall can be said to be the first Western-style medical school in the Far East, which was originally established to train military medical personnel to meet the military needs of the rebels, and in the past few years, this military medical hall has become the largest and best medical school in the entire Far East.

Hundreds of students studied at the school, as well as scholars, professors and doctors from France, England and Prussia. As the only professor of Chinese Western medicine in the school, Wu Xinglian is preparing experimental materials for the next day's classes in the school's laboratory.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a cold air blew in, Wu Xinglian looked up and saw that it was the head office of the school, he hurriedly came in, and said.

"Star Alliance, the Governor has issued an emergency military order, tomorrow, all the students of the school will go to Hunan and Guangdong provinces to implement epidemic prevention in the two provinces!"

"Epidemic prevention?"

Wu Xinglian looked at the general office in surprise.

"There is an outbreak of disease No. 1 in Guangdong and Hunan provinces!"

Disease No. 1 is a unique term in the military and is synonymous with the plague.

"General office, all gone?"

"Go for them all!"

The general office with a serious expression nodded and said.

"All the students go and implement epidemic prevention and isolation according to the epidemic prevention manual, you are the only epidemic prevention expert in the school, in the past, our manual was aimed at the military camp, and now it is aimed at cities, villages and towns, what should I do? Can you come up with a plan as soon as possible? ”

Wu Xinglian, who was stared at by the General Office, frowned, the "epidemic prevention manual" was aimed at the army, which was originally formulated to deal with the frequent occurrence of infectious diseases during the field march and combat of the righteous army. It was aimed at epidemic prevention within the army, and naturally it was not considered to be used in cities.

"There should be no problem!"

Wu Xinglian said without hesitation.

"In fact, the core of epidemic prevention is, to put it bluntly, discovery and isolation. The source of infection is identified, it is eliminated, the sick person is found, it is isolated, and all contacts are isolated......"

Even as Wu Xinglian, who had studied medical school in the UK, he was amazed by the science of the "epidemic prevention manual" of the rebels when he first came into contact with it, and in the past year and a half, he has also supplemented it in a targeted manner.

However, he did not know that the original version of the so-called "epidemic prevention manual" was written by Han Du, which was a few basic rules formulated by Zhu Yifeng based on the concept of infectious disease prevention and control in later generations.

"This is painting the ground as a prison, those people are ordinary people! Will there be a problem then? ”

The general office said with some concern.

"They're the source of infection!"

Wu Xinglian said with a serious expression.

"The source of infection must be controlled, and if you treat them as ordinary people, then you are not responsible for other people! It's been a month now, and if no immediate action is taken, the consequences will be dire. ”

"Of course the government knows, Star Alliance, you go to see Luo Senjun now, Luo Senjun is personally responsible for this matter, and the carriage is waiting for you outside."

Half an hour later, Wu Xinglian came to the mansion of Luo Bingzhang, the right soldier, and the porter didn't even wait for him to sign up, he immediately opened the door, obviously having been ordered.

"Mr. Wu, please be seated!"

In Luo Bingzhang's study, without waiting for Wu Xinglian to be noisy, Luo Bingzhang motioned for him to sit down:

"I know that Mr. Wu has a lot of experience in epidemic prevention, so I specially asked Mr. Wu about the plague, Mr. Wu, you know that I am from Guangdong, for others, this is business, for Luo, this is not just business, after all, the deceased are all from Luo's township! If the epidemic cannot be controlled, Luo will not only be sorry for the lord's letter, but I am afraid that he will no longer have the shame to see the villagers of Guangdong Province! ”

Hearing what the army said, Wu Xinglian felt that he attached great importance to this matter, and quickly stabilized his mood and began to introduce the background of the plague. When you think of the plague, you think of the Black Death. In fact, the plague has existed on the earth for a long time, and there have been two peaks in history. The Great Plague occurred in Byzantium in the 6th century AD, killing an estimated 100 million people over the centuries. In the 14th century, there was a second peak of plague in Europe, and the plague that came to Europe from Asia killed at least one-third of the continent's population. Because the disease is first endemic in house rats and then in the population, it is also called plague. There have always been records of plague in China, and there is a folk song of "dead rats in the east and dead rats in the west, and people see dead rats like tigers".

In this regard, Luo Bingzhang naturally listened attentively, and asked after he finished speaking:

"So how has the plague happened in recent years?"

Wu Xinglian then said:

"In recent years, there have been no outbreaks of plague in foreign countries, combined with the repeated outbreaks of rat servitude in Yunnan in the past few decades, so I have a preliminary analysis that this rat was introduced to Guangdong, because we were brought into Guangdong and Hunan because of our exchanges with Yunnan. ……”

Luo Bingzhang's brows furrowed:

"So, the plague came from Yunnan this time?"

Wu Xinglian nodded.

"It's possible!"

After thinking for a moment, Luo Bingzhang asked again:

"What is the cause of the plague? Is there a cure for this epidemic now? ”

Facing Luo Bingzhang's expectant eyes, Wu Xinglian shook his head and said.

"For a long time, people did not know the source of the plague, only that it was caused by rats, but the exact cause of the disease is still unknown, so there is no cure for the plague."

Wu Xinglian's answer made Luo Bingzhang's newly surging hope disappear without a trace.

"So the plague is an incurable disease?"

Wu Xinglian nodded and replied:

"Not only is there no effective drug to treat the plague, but the plague is an infectious disease that spreads so quickly that the mortality rate is so high that it can almost be described as death!"

Luo Bingzhang's face was full of disappointment.

"So how did the plague spread?"

Wu Xinglian replied.

"The available information suggests. It is spread back and forth between rats and rats, and between rats and people, by fleas......"

Nodding, Luo Bingzhang said thoughtfully.

"Mr. Wu really has some expertise in this, so in your opinion, how should this epidemic be controlled?"

Wu Xinglian hurriedly said.

"I thought that we should send epidemic prevention personnel to the epidemic area to understand the epidemic pattern and the source of the disease in accordance with the epidemic prevention regulations, so as to control them in a targeted manner!"

After a moment of silence, Luo Bingzhang said slowly.

"We must do everything possible to control the epidemic, this matter is not only related to the life and death of millions of Li people, but also related to whether Fuzhong can expel the Manchu Tartars in the future, and whether we can recover our Han people!"

"What!"

Wu Xinglian looked at the army in surprise, and never thought of the relationship between the two.

"Mr. Wu doesn't know that if the plague is allowed to spread, then Fuzhong will not be able to go on a northern expedition, or even be unable to deal with the Manchu attack, and at that time, everything will be in vain, and our Han people will be enslaved again! So, Mr. Wu, your responsibility is as heavy as Mount Tai! ”

Throughout the night, Wu Xinglian could not sleep peacefully, he spent the night perfecting the epidemic prevention regulations, thinking about the problems that might be encountered in the implementation of the epidemic prevention and isolation order in the city, and when carrying out this work, he always felt the pressure like Mount Tai pressing on his shoulders.

"If the epidemic prevention fails, our Han people will be enslaved again!"

This is definitely not alarmist!

As a doctor, Wu Xinglian knows very well that the plague can destroy a country and bring a dynasty to its knees. Since he grew up overseas, when he was looking through the history books of the late Ming Dynasty, through the written records in the history books, Wu Xinglian, as a doctor, also knew very well that perhaps the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the plague.

When Li Zicheng invaded the capital, the capital was actually a plague area, and hundreds of thousands of people died of the plague. So when Li Zicheng's team came over, the soldiers who could defend on the walls of the capital couldn't even get together 10,000 people. Not only did the soldiers, hawkers, and hired workers die in large numbers, but the city of Beijing could not even find Huazi. By the time Li Zicheng's troops approached the city, there was only one soldier in the five battlements in Beijing's inner city, and all of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, "dove-shaped hoof-faced, just a few of them." When Li Zicheng had already arrived at Xizhimen on 17 March, the capital did not have any decent defenses, so Li Zicheng could naturally easily take the capital.

Although the plague was not the main factor, it was the famine, epidemic, and war that finally destroyed the last dynasty of the Han people, and plunged the Han people into foreign slavery for more than 200 years.

When Wu Xinglian drafted the epidemic prevention order overnight, it was also sleepless in the army medical hall, and those young military doctors in the school were preparing for the next day's departure, and when they were ready everything was already early in the morning, and then a group of nearly 500 military doctors rushed to the train station in a line.

At this time, the railway station had not yet been put into use, in fact, although the railway from Wuchang to Changsha was built, but it had not yet been used, but now under the premise of overriding the epidemic prevention, the railway company transferred a train to transport them to Changsha, and then from Changsha to various places by steamship.

At the train station, Wu Xinglian met Luo Bingzhang again, in addition to him, there were several officials in the government.

"Don't worry! No matter what the requirements are, this army is guaranteed to meet you! ”

At the train station, Luo Bingzhang looked at Wu Delian and said in a loud voice.

In fact, just yesterday, in the name of the Military Office, he sent an urgent telegram to the local government, ordering local officials to unconditionally obey the orders of the epidemic prevention department haha.

"Please rest assured that Luo joins the army, we will do our best!"

The train was about to leave, Wu Xinglian was on the car, Luo Bingzhang was under the car, the two waved goodbye, and at this moment, Luo Bingzhang suddenly knelt on his knees and kowtowed to Wu Xinglian. Being kneeled like this, Wu Xinglian was suddenly frightened.

"My lord, why is that?"

Luo Bingzhang said solemnly.

"Luo has entrusted the people of the world to Mr. Wu!"

A solemn voice reached Wu Xinglian's ears, and also reached the ears of the other military doctors, each of them felt their responsibility at this moment, and they all looked at the army with solemn expressions.

With the sound of the whistle, the train slowly moved away......

Wu Xinglian, well, this is to commemorate Wu Liande, a medical scientist who played a crucial role in the Northeast Plague, and if it weren't for him, maybe the death toll of the Northeast Plague would be more than 60,000. A young man from Nanyang, facing the most vicious infectious disease in human history on the black soil of the northern country, single-handedly turned the tide and the building was about to collapse. It saved Harbin and the entire Northeast. (To be continued.) )
