Everyone was worried, but Yang Du shook his fan in a chic manner and said unhurriedly: "Baixi don't worry. No pop-up window update fast // Although the "Great Qing Law" stipulates that the body is not allowed to be burned, it also opens an opening, that is, those whose descendants are unable to return to the burial and burn after death should obey their convenience. Now that the plague is rampant, and the ground is as hard as iron, it is natural that we should be in a hurry. If this article is invoked in the recital, the court will definitely agree.

"As for the autopsy, I can't say what I can do. You mentioned it in the memorabilia, and the court will definitely not allow it. If you do it again, it is a great sin to resist the decree and disobey it; If you don't do it, you will delay treatment. Instead, it's better not to mention it and do it in private. If there is no leakage, it is naturally the best; Even if the news leaks, anyway, doesn't the holy decree let you 'handle the epidemic prevention and other affairs inside and outside the customs?' Others have nothing to say, at most they will be reprimanded by the imperial court, which is no big deal. ”

Solving this big problem, Sun Yuanqi continued: "The second is logistics support, in addition to sufficient grain, grass and silver, we also need sulfur, quicklime, hydrogen peroxide for disinfection, protective masks, gauze, treatment stretchers, medical gloves, thermometers, kerosene, wood for incinerating corpses, etc.

"In this matter, under strict hardship, food, grass, silver, protective and treatment items are calculated according to 10,000 people for three months, and disinfection items are calculated for 100,000 people for three months. As soon as possible, take out the specific number and attach it to the fold and submit it to the imperial court. ”

Zhang Shizhao hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Finally, there's the issue of personnel." Sun Yuanqi felt that this problem was also quite tricky, "Isolating the sick and burning the corpses are all dirty work, and they have to be selfless, ordinary people are unwilling to do it, and they can't do it well, so it is best to be carried out by the army that prohibits it." Looking at the vicinity of the capital, only the Six Towns New Army meets this standard. I would like to ask the imperial court to at least send someone to coordinate the epidemic prevention matters.

"What's more, we are going to prevent the epidemic, and we can't lock up all the infected people and wait for death, right? Therefore, we need a large number of qualified medical and scientific researchers, especially skilled Western doctors, to treat patients. This also has to be done by the imperial court. ”

It's not that Sun Yuanqi looks down on traditional Chinese medicine, but compared with Western medicine based on scientific quantitative analysis, traditional Chinese medicine is really average in dealing with virulent infectious diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine is the sum total of thousands of years of treatment experience, and it has many clever features for consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan, and comprehensively distinguishing and curing. But it itself is very dependent on the inspiration and intuition of the doctor. Doctors prescribe medicine based on learned experience, and whoever guesses correctly and who dies is a famous doctor.

Several staff members also shook their heads: the quack doctor is gone, and it is basically useless; As for the famous doctors, they are basically small and wealthy, who would take the initiative to deal with the plague because their lives are short?

Everyone couldn't think of any magic tricks, so they could only write these problems into the folds and let the Military Aircraft Department help coordinate and solve them. The Military Aircraft Department was not slow to act, and soon issued the highest instructions: the policy is no problem; The part of the salary will be paid first, and other epidemic prevention items will be allocated one after another; As for the army and doctors, I'm sorry, but I'm asking you, the minister, to recruit yourself and take care of the food, grass, and money everywhere you go.

Sun Yuanqi was furious when he shot the case: "It's really unreasonable! I put 780,000 new troops in six towns and asked me to recruit a few thousand people. The people are procrastinating and messing around, how to isolate the patients? Don't catch yourself without taking precautions against the epidemic! ”

Yang Du said with a smile: "The Military Aircraft Department is also out of your consideration. The New Army of the Six Towns has been trained for the longest time, and the soldiers are strong and strong, and they defend Gyeonggi, which is a sharp weapon of the country. How can I lend you to prevent the epidemic? What if the epidemic is brought back to the barracks? ”

"Then let me recruit people who don't know anything by myself?"

Yang Du was confident: "Baixi, you have thousands of well-trained soldiers on hand, why bother recruiting people?" ”

"Huh?" Sun Yuanqi was stunned, "Where?" ”

Yang Duqu said: "There are 1,500 students in Jingshi University, and there are more than 1,500 students in primary and secondary schools affiliated in Beijing, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hunan and Hubei. These people have to be trained in the military every year, and although they are well-trained, they are not as good as the army, but at least they are better than a group of scattered people, right? Moreover, they have knowledge and culture, and with a little training, they can learn simple epidemic prevention measures, isn't it a hundred times better than the people? ”

Sun Yuanqi shook his head again and again: "How can you send students?" They are all in their teens and twenties, and they are in the prime of their youth, and they are a great asset to their families, schools, and even the country. ”

"Is it true that participating in epidemic prevention is nine deaths?" Yang Du asked rhetorically.

"Not really. If the measures are done properly, the infection rate and death rate should be very low. Sun Yuanqi replied.

"And what are you afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if!"

Yang Du sneered: "The imperial court cherishes the new army, you cherish the students, isn't the truth the same?" If you recruit people's husbands, they will definitely die more than students, why don't you worry about the safety of people's husbands? Could it be that the lives of students are worth more than the lives of people? ”

Sun Yuanqi was speechless, but in his heart, every student is a treasure and a priceless treasure, and it is true that no one else can compare.

Yang Du persuaded again: "Now that there is a shortage of a large number of doctors and nurses for epidemic prevention, it is necessary to recruit people across the country." You don't even want to send your own students to the Northeast, so who can you say to do the more dangerous treatment work? ”

Sun Yuanqi pondered for a long time before sighing: "Let me ask Zhao Jingxing first." ”

It just so happened that Zhao Jingxing had been supporting military training at Jingshi University recently, and when he heard the summons, he hurriedly rushed into the city. Sun Yuanqi told him the ins and outs of the matter, and finally asked: "You have been organizing military training in various affiliated primary and secondary schools, and you should know the students very well. If volunteers over the age of 18 are urgently recruited to work in isolation and disinfection in Northeast China, how many students will be able to participate? Are they up to the task? ”

Zhao Jingxing's eyes lit up: "The quality is absolutely fine." If it takes 5 days, I estimate that I can recruit up to 700 people; If it is 5 days, it is not less than 00 people; If you give me 30 days, it is guaranteed to be absolutely no less than people! ”

Person? That's close to half of all the people in school, is that possible? Sun Yuanqi was afraid that he didn't hear clearly, so he hurriedly repeated the conditions: "The adults we recruit must be over the age of adults, and they must be voluntary. ”

"Of course!" Zhao Jingxing said solemnly, "If the conditions are relaxed to 14 years old, it will not be a problem to recruit people within a month." ”

Yang Du, who was sitting on the side, was also taken aback.

Sun Yuanqi gasped: "Why are there so many?" All the students are in school

"Why do you have to be a student?" Zhao Jingxing said strangely: "Military training does not require that the trainees must have the status of an affiliated school. Our military training is strict and formal, and it includes room and board, which is very popular with primary and secondary school students everywhere. In particular, our military training clothing is of good quality and style, and it is distributed free of charge to the trainees. Therefore, in order to get the military uniform of the university, a large number of students from other schools temporarily go to the attached school to borrow during military training every year, and sometimes there are even more students than students from this school! ”

Sun Yuanqi patted his head: If you don't pay attention, you let others take advantage of the loophole!

The epidemic is urgent, Sun Yuanqi didn't care about the matter of military training, and directly ordered: "The problem of recruiting personnel still needs to be reported to the Military Aircraft Department, but it is estimated that the problem is not big, you can make some preparations in advance." We only have 20 days, and all volunteers must report to Shanhaiguan before this to study the "Epidemic Prevention Manual".

"The volunteers who arrived five days ago were divided into groups and were responsible for checking all southbound passengers to stop the spread of the epidemic outside the customs. After that, the volunteers who arrived were formed into a group of 20 people, and after completing the study, they entered the Northeast one after another to engage in isolation, disinfection, cremation and other work. As for the relevant travel expenses, you go to the chapter to ask for it. Still have questions? ”

After Zhao Jingxing jotted down the task in the notebook he carried with him, he looked up and said, "The student has two requests. First, there are more than 2,000 people mobilized for this mission, and I can't be busy even if I have three heads and six arms, so please ask Mr. to allocate half of the security of the university to me, and ask Mr. to write to Yan Baichuan, Cheng Songyun, Jiang Zhiqing and other senior brothers and ask them to come over to help temporarily.

"Second, this mission involves acts of force such as bullet pressure and isolation, and the people in Northeast China are fierce, and the public security situation is not good, so if the volunteers are unarmed with their bare hands, they will inevitably encounter danger. In order to deter Xiaoxiao, please prepare 2,500 breech rifles for us, whether new or old, single shots can be fired in bursts, the key is to be usable, with bayonets, and the bullets are equipped with 30 rounds per gun. ”

Sun Yuan nodded: "Sending security guards and writing letters to Yan Baichuan and others is naturally not a problem." It's just that the rifle needs the approval of the imperial court, and I can't give you the answer first. But don't worry, if the imperial court doesn't give you guns, I'll transfer mortars for you from the Beiping Iron Works! ”

"Why don't you transfer it to us first?" Zhao Jingxing said eagerly.

Sun Yuanqi was speechless for a moment, and only then did he loosen his mouth and said under Zhao Jingxing's soft grinding and hard foam, "I'll give you 30 doors first." ”

Zhao Jingxing was overjoyed and rushed away. Yang Du also quit and withdrew. Sun Yuanqi didn't think much about it, and continued to write the "Epidemic Prevention Manual".

As soon as Yang Du went out, he hurriedly chased after Zhao Jingxing, and whispered in his mouth: "Brother Xingzhi, please stay!" ”

Zhao Jingxing turned his head and asked suspiciously, "Master Yang, does Mr. have any other orders?" ”

Yang Du gasped and said, "Brother Xingzhi, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Zhao Jingxing frowned slightly, and politely refused: "You see, Mr. asked me to mobilize volunteers as much as possible in 20 days, which involves thousands of people, and I must start as soon as possible." If you have something, why don't you say it right here? ”

Yang Du hesitated for a moment and said, "The volunteers that Baixi wants you to recruit must be students over the age of one. Naturally, there are his own considerations in this. But in my opinion, it should be 'Han Xinbing, the more the merrier.' So, you might as well relax the age appropriately, such as over 14 years old? ”

“？” Zhao Jingxing didn't say a word, his eyes were fixed on Yang Du.

Yang Du took care of himself and continued: "The old man Xiangqi, the family teacher, once told an old interesting story to Zaixia, saying that when he pacified the bandits under Zeng Wenzheng's public account, he felt that although the bandits were known as brave, they were actually uneven. Brother Xingzhi, which part of the bandits do you think should be the most fearless of death? ”

"Naturally, the old long hair who followed Hong Xiuquan from Guangxi is the old man!" Zhao Jingxing replied.

Yang Du shook his head: "The old longhair is naturally fierce, but when the situation is unfavorable, he also knows that temporarily avoiding the edge is not blindly sending him to death." If you want to say that the most fierce of the bandits are not afraid of death, they are the group of fourteen or fifteen-year-old half-grown children. They marched forward bravely, never dying, without caring about their lives, and even adults retreated when they saw them. Do you see what I mean? ”

Throughout the ages, the Boy Scouts have been a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, and sometimes even a mainstay in the fight. They are young and recover faster from injuries; They are simple, and they are easily deceived by others; They are ignorant and disregard for the lives of others. Many politicians and military strategists are keenly aware of this and consciously recruit minors into the army. Don't talk about it, let's talk about the Celestial Empire.

Let's start with an interesting set of statistics:

From 1q55 to 1965, a total of 16 people were awarded the rank of major general and above, including 10 marshals, KO generals, 57 generals, 177 lieutenant generals, and 1360 major generals. Among these 16 people, Jiangxi has the most, with a total of 325, including generals, 38 lieutenant generals, and 284 major generals, accounting for 20,148 of the total number. followed by Hubei nationality, name; Hunan, 22; Anhui nationality, 128 people.

The average age of the 177 lieutenant generals was 45.1 years old, the oldest of which was Fu Lianzhang, who was 61 years old; The youngest are Liu Xiyuan, Zhang Chiming, Zhou Zhijian, and Xie Youfa, all 38 years old. In other words, most of them were born around 1910.

The average age of the 1,360 major generals was 448 years old, the oldest of which was Shi Kequan, who was 63 years old; The youngest are Cao Danov = Zaire and Xu Bin, only 35 years old. Of course, if we narrow this down to the major generals who were awarded the title in 1955, their average age at the time of their award was 43. Among them, 85 were over 50 years old and 90 were under 38 years old, most of whom were born around 1914.

Among all the generals, a total of 1,083 people participated in the Long March, accounting for 67.10% of the total, of which 303 were from Jiangxi, including 37 generals, lieutenant generals, and 263 major generals.

The logic is confusing? The data is inexplicable? However, based on these data, we can simply sort out the chronology of an ordinary major general:

In 1914, he was born in Jiangxi or the surrounding Anhui, Hunan, and Hubei.

In 1929, at the age of 5, there was a revolution in his hometown and he participated in activities.

In 1930, at the age of 16, he joined the Red Army.

In 1934, at the age of 20, he began the Long March.

In 1955, at the age of 41, he was awarded the rank of major general.

Found out? Many people started the revolution and joined the Red Army at the age of fifteen or sixteen!

In the revolutionary stories that we are familiar with, there are also many minors, such as the Young Communist Division, the Children's League, the Young Pioneers, Pan Dongzi, Wang Erxiao, the little soldiers Zhang Ga, and Liu Hulan.

Zhao Jingxing stared at Yang Du deeply again, turned around and left without saying anything. But Yang Du was not disappointed in the slightest, but smiled all over his face, because he knew that Zhao Jingxing had adopted his opinion.
