Chapter 75: Rushing to Harbin

At this time, the situation in Fujiadian, Harbin, with a population of 24,000 people, was also quite grim, and when Wu Liande first arrived in Harbin, due to his age, coupled with the poverty and weakness of the Qing Dynasty, he caused backwardness and ignorance to the foreign powers. The foreigner's experts were not very interested in this new young epidemic prevention officer. He also refused to cooperate with any of Wu Liande's initiatives.

France's epidemic prevention expert Menes once had a job dispute with Wu Liande, but at this time, Xiliang and Lin Zhaoji showed extreme trust in Wu Liande, and directly dismissed Menis, and Wu Liande continued to serve as the chief medical officer of epidemic prevention in the three eastern provinces. Less than 10 days after arriving in the northeast, Menis's death shocked people from all over the world like a bombshell. This also made Wu Liande's work a lot smoother.

"Quick, quick, come out and get the armband!" Several soldiers wearing masks pulled a carriage with blue armbands inside the baskets.

The people inside the shelter were wrapped in thick shabby cotton clothes, rubbing their hands together, shivering a little in the howling north wind, wondering if it was because of the cold or the damned plague. Or both. However, there is nothing that these victims can't see, even if they don't come to Taonan to stay in their hometown, I'm afraid most of them will starve to death at this time, even if they leave Taonan, where can they go?

"Listen, put on the armband, now our area is the Blue Zone, the entire Taonan is divided into four different districts, recently you had better stay in your residence and don't move, there is really something, if you want to go to other districts, you also need to apply to the official office of each district and report. If anyone goes without permission, once discovered, he will be punished for a felony! The officer and soldier who issued the armbands said loudly.

"My lord, the city has been divided into four areas: red, white, yellow and blue, and the people and citizens of each district are treated in isolation, and even the soldiers are strictly enforced."

"In addition, different departments such as epidemic prevention centers, isolation centers, diagnosis hospitals, epidemic prevention enforcement offices, and disinfection centers have been set up."

Among them, the quarantine station is dedicated to checking whether the people entering Taonan are infected, and each district of the disinfection center has set up one. Provide bathing and disinfection services for doctors, nurses, patrol officers, and husbands involved in epidemic prevention work.

"According to the patient's condition, the hospital is divided into epidemic treatment hospital, mild hospital, suspected hospital, and epidemic prevention and treatment department. Each hospital has medical officers, general clerks, pharmacists, nurses, inspectors and other positions. It not only treats people with different conditions, but also avoids cross-infection between them. ”

In addition, Fucheng has also set up a special rodent control department to reward the people who exterminate rodents, and the health department is responsible for punishing littering, open defecation and other behaviors, and burning the dirt in the city.

"Things have been done almost enough, but the number of deaths every day is only rising, not falling, and there are more than 6,000 corpses piled up in the south of the city, and if this continues, I'm afraid that Taonan's morale will collapse." Qin Yu pressed his forehead, even if the economic crisis broke out, it may not be as terrible as this plague, according to Wu Liande's measures, it can be said that it is also extremely scientific in the future generations, but what Qin Yu doesn't understand is how up to now, the number of people who are infected every day and die of illness is still not decreasing at all, but increasing. At this time, the number of people dying of illness in Taonan has exceeded 180 every day. On the Shanhaiguan side, in order to prevent the spread of the plague to the pass, the imperial court has sent troops to seal the customs and stop the train from going south, and all the people who went south were blocked in Shanhaiguan.

"It's all education." Qin Yu scolded hatefully, the school history textbooks of later generations are always introducing what major events happened in which year and month, what battles were fought, what kind of meetings were held, wars, what kind of significance the meetings achieved, and a catastrophe like the plague that almost swept the entire three eastern provinces was not introduced, otherwise with a few words about the history books of later generations, Qin Yu might be able to make more targeted measures.

"My lord, Harbin emergency telegram."

"Bring it."

Qin Yu took the telegram and saw that it was the Heilongjiang Railway soldiers who were preparing for Sixing, and Wu Liande had been invited, and it was about the plague.

"Prepare the horses, the guard platoon, now follow me to Harbin, and the city will be handed over to Brother Xuguang in the next few days." Qin Yu said to Tian Helin, who was in charge of affairs, and ordered Jinyu brand cigarettes produced by a cigarette factory over there in Genxi.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best to maintain it." Tian Helin nodded.

With the guard platoon, Qin Yu rushed all the way to Changchun, the Taochang Highway had been completed in its entirety, Qin Yu originally wanted to celebrate it in a big way, but under the influence of this plague, he gave up for the time being, and died every day, how could he still have the heart to celebrate. Taochang highway freight is busy, there are many places for changing horses to ride, that night to Changchun, due to the cold weather, coupled with the outbreak of the plague, the industry and commerce around the country have been hit a lot, there is no train to the north at night, in Changchun for a few hours of rest, Qin Yu rushed to Harbin by train, the speed of the train is more than 40 kilometers per hour, when it arrived in Harbin is already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, into Harbin, especially along the railway, you can see the sign of the Eastern Railway Bureau everywhere, In later generations, few people knew this sign. Harbin is worthy of being a place where Lao Maozi has been operating for many years, and the pattern and construction of the city are far from being comparable to Taonan at this time.

"Xiaguan Qin Yu, I've seen Lord Yu." Qin Yu saluted Yu Sixing, who was of a higher grade than him.

"Yuchen, I didn't expect you to come so quickly, it's different when you're young, you do things in a hurry, and you act vigorously." Yu Sixing was both a little surprised and a little happy when he saw Qin Yu.

"There's no way, it's such a cold day, and Xia Guan also wants to sit by the stove in Taonan, but Taonan is now dying almost 200 people a day, where can I sit down, so I rushed over overnight." Qin Yu said with a wry smile.

"Yes, this Qing Dynasty is really full of disasters and difficulties, there are foreign powers looking around, there are chaotic parties and rebels inside, and now there is such a disaster, I really don't know when it will be the end, now only on the side of Fujiadian, more than 160 people will die in a day, and it is almost the same as Taonan." Speaking of the plague, even Yu Sixing is a little afraid, this disease can no matter what high or low officials, the infected person will definitely die, from the infection to the onset of the disease, the death of the disease is only a few days of effort, and the death is miserable.

"Where's Doctor Wu?" Qin Yu asked.

"Medical Officer Wu went to the public burning ground in the north of the city, there are at least more than 4,000 corpses there, piles of rats, everything can be done here in Harbin, and now Medical Officer Wu has preliminarily judged that the epidemic started from these corpses." Yu Sixing said, "The decision to dispose of the corpse is not good, you must Yuchen, your Taonan is the most violent place where the plague is troubled, and you should also attend this meeting, so I will call you over." ”

"Crematory?" Qin Yu squinted his eyes and said.

Yu Sixing nodded heavily.
