Chapter Thirteen: The Plague Really

"Where is Sun Long, the Qian-General of Buying? Is he dead or alive?" Kong Youde asked sternly. If Sun Long is alive, he must have chopped him alive.

His idea of ​​going to the north to get promoted and wealth was basically ruined, and he lost one-third of his staff. Moreover, the other two battalions would not tell whether he would have such a thing. But Sun Long could not escape the blame for Buying Sheng.

"Report to the general, after detailed investigation, the surviving soldiers did not see Mr. Sun Qian. The corpse was just a hasty cleaning, and the dead soldiers did not identify them in detail. Perhaps there was Mr. Sun Qian's body. Perhaps Mr. Sun Qian was among the twenty-four missing people." Li Yangxing felt that Sun Long was more likely to be among the missing people, but he did not say it. As a personal soldier, he just needed to report truthfully. The general did not ask himself, so as not to mislead the general.

"Go and tell Li Yingyuan and ask him to lead people to search around the camp. The footprints are easy to see in the snow. After the footprints are revealed, you must chase them immediately. Be sure to find the missing twenty-four people. A team of people will be sent to the camp to Wuqiao County. Maybe they went to Wuqiao County or passed through the county town and asked the locals for information." Kong Youde also felt that Sun Long was probably among the twenty-four people who were missing, but there were other possibilities and they had to consider them comprehensively.

"In addition, I sent someone to interrogate the living soldiers of the Buying camp to find out how the camp was born, and then register my names. Then I sent someone to carefully check the corpses, find the ID card, and then register according to the roster. Those who could not find the ID card were thanked for the living Buying camp to identify it." Although there has been a drastic change, Kong Youde's top priority is to deal with the funeral, so as not to cause any changes.

"Also, what happened to the soldiers who were seriously ill in Buying the night before yesterday and the soldiers who were sick later?" Kong Youde suddenly thought of the soldiers. After all, he was worried about these things before, and was forgotten by Ying Xiao forgot about this.

"General, according to the soldiers who cleaned up that area, that area was basically dead, and only two living people were left, and they were coughing up blood, their faces and hands were turning black. The two were still imprisoned there. What should the general do?" Li Yangxing's idea was to kill directly. They were already very ill and could not find a doctor who was willing to treat it. They were basically declared the death penalty, which was just a matter of time.

When Kong Youde heard that his hands and face were dark, he confirmed that this was basically a plague, but he was not at ease. "Whether the other dead people also had such a black situation?"

"General, most of the dead soldiers had dark faces." Kong Youde had already concluded that this was plague, and he understood one truth: Xiao Ci was the enemy of Da Ci, so there was no need to keep the two living soldiers.

"The two living people will be executed directly. They can't live long. It's better to give them a happy thing and let the firearm soldiers in the firearm battalion take action. Don't bury the whole body first. Find some firewood and throw it on the fire. After the burning, you must be careful about plague. The army that has experienced this disaster will find it difficult to withstand additional disasters.

"Also, inform the entire army to start a fire and boil water immediately. All soldiers who have come into contact with those patients must wash their bodies with salt water, including their mouths and noses. Everyone must take a bath with hot water. In the future, drinking water must be boiled. If anyone does not have such orders, no matter who is responsible, everyone will be deprived of the 50-plate sticks. Those who have military positions will be deprived." Kong Youde must do a good job in epidemic prevention. Before, it was only suspected that it was plague. Although there were also epidemic prevention work, it was not so strict. Now it is confirmed and I dare not not worry about it. After all, the plague is so terrifying.

When it comes to plague, many people think it is nothing. After all, the medical conditions in modern society are good, and there has been almost no plague in Daliu. Moreover, the plague explosion in ancient China was only a local short-term explosion, and there was no large-scale situation in the country. There are not many historical materials in this regard.

But when it comes to his other name, the Black Death, I'm afraid everyone knows it. From 1348 to 1350 AD, in just three years, 30,000 people lost their lives due to the Black Death, and then spread to West Asia, North Africa, and Russia, causing at least 75 million deaths, reducing the entire European population by one third, and even China was affected. Although it was not as serious as Europe, it still caused a large number of people to die.

In addition, the plague broke out in Guangzhou in 1894, and passed through Hong Kong and spread to India and China. It accumulated more than 12 million people died. Since most of the death toll is in India, it is unknown.

The plague that prevailed in northern China in the late Ming Dynasty also killed millions of people. Due to the large time span, the constant wars and frequent disasters at that time, the population deaths from other causes was more common, so the population decline caused by the plague was not so obvious and was also little known.

The reason why the plague is so terrifying is that it spreads rapidly and has a fast disease. Patients who are infected with Yersinia plague will cough and cough up phlegm and then cough up blood. They will die without rescue for two to three days. The skin is often black and purple before death, so it is known as the Black Death.

Kong Youde heard Li Yangxing say that the sick soldiers had dark hands and faces, and knew that it was plague. Fortunately, the air was dry and the temperature was low in winter, which was not conducive to the spread of the plague, so it only caused more than 30 infections.

After the Wenchuan earthquake, the prevention and control of various post-disaster epidemics and popular science have been on TV. Kong Youde has some reflections on this aspect. Yersinia plague is widely present in rodents such as mice, squirrels, groundhogs, etc. After fleas suck the blood and blood of these animals, they will bite people and bring the bacteria to people. Or people will also be infected after eating these mushroom-carrying meat, and droplets are mainly transmitted between people.

As for the source, it is winter now, and there is no possibility of fleas and mosquitoes biting. Groundhogs live in plateau areas, and no one is willing to eat mice. Most of them, when the soldiers of the small flag went to chop wood, they caught squirrels or other animals with bacteria, and then ate them together, and then caught diseases at the same time, and then passed them to the soldiers who came into contact with them through coughing droplets.

Fortunately, Kong Youde took some epidemic prevention measures early in the morning, and it was snowing days, so the plague did not cause a pandemic. Otherwise, the military camp had such a large population density, it would probably be reimbursed in less than five days.
