Chapter 31 Hygiene Issues

Sun Quan took Pang Tong on the road. Pang Tong has not yet recognized Sun Quan as his lord, and he does not shout "Swear to be loyal to my lord Sun Quan" when he meets him. He just performs Sun Quan's courtesy, and does not say that he wants to leave. He just follows Sun Quan without saying that he is following Sun Quan without saying that he is in the same position as him, and takes Pang Tong like a follower. Pang Tong and Sun Quan make everyone feel that they are not like lords and ministers, but rather brothers.

"Mr. Wu, good morning, are there any wine? You are not allowed to drink in the army, but I am not the soldiers in the Jiangdong army now, right? Is it okay to drink some wine?" Pang Tongyi ran to Sun Quan's camp early in the morning to ask for wine.

Because Pang Tong likes to drink very much, he refused to drink in the martial arts hall and asked him to quit drinking for a month. Then when he arrived at the military camp, he first asked Sun Quan to ask for alcohol. Sun Quan gave Pang Tong a pound of wine yesterday, and then it was gone. Anyway, without Sun Quan's order in the military camp, he could not get the wine. Sun Quan asked Chen Nian to arrange a squad of the imperial guards to follow Pang Tong and monitor him not to buy wine outside. Pang Tong had no choice but to come to Sun Quan to ask for alcohol early the next morning.

"Little Phoenix, it's a good thing that you like to drink, but if you drink early this morning, you'll finish your drink in one pound of wine, and you won't have to drink it at noon or evening." Sun Quan said.

"Wu Hou, don't call me Xiao Fenghuang, you can call me the name Pang Tong, or call me a gentleman." Pang Tong didn't want to drink anymore, so he had to understand the name first.

"Haha, okay, then you don't have to call me Marquis Wu, just call me Big Brother! Little Phoenix!" Sun Quan said with a smile.

"I won't talk to you. You are a dignified Wu Hou, who doesn't do anything big, and is just ridiculing me for not letting me drink. Is it interesting? I don't do my job properly. Give me wine first, and if I don't give it, I won't walk." Pang Tong said.

"Oh, that's it, A Nian, go find a carriage, carry it in, and after breakfast, our army set off and strive to arrive at the Wuyi camp in the evening." Sun Quan stopped giving it to the emperor and ordered.

"Mr. Wu, you can't give me no wine. It's too cruel. I want to accuse you..."

That night, Sun Quan and his party arrived at the Wuyi camp. First, they met Zhuge Jin, Hu Zong, Zhang Jie, Hong Ming, Hong Jin and other civil and military officials. Then they had dinner with everyone. During the meal, they introduced Pang Tong to everyone without saying their identity, but only had a name. Pang Tong also bowed to everyone carelessly, and then gave Sun Quan face, shouted: "Swear to be loyal to the Marquis of Wu to the Marquis of Wu!" He changed the word "Mr. Wu, and Sun Quan couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

"Everyone, how is the situation in Wuyi Camp now? Ziyu, I know everything about Guixi County from your report, so don't talk about it. Hu Zong, you have been to Wuyi Camp for a while, and I will tell you what you think." Sun Quan wanted to know about everyone's situation first.

"Lord, the soldiers training, publicity and ideological work here are done well. Zijing had already done all this well when he was there, but after I arrived here, I found a problem. In addition to the military camp, there are also craftsmen, and the hygiene situation here is very unsatisfactory."

"Sanitation? Didn't we build thatched cottages as required? Are there any other questions?" Sun Quan said in confusion.

"In addition to urination and defecation, there is also personal hygiene. Some people have lice on their bodies, or those bedding and clothes in the military camps are not washed for a long time," Pang Tong said.

"Yes, let's not talk about it for now. Let's go to the camp and take a look at the soldiers' tents. The barracks here must be built as soon as possible. It is still easy to get cold in the camp in winter." Sun Quan said.

"Master, the barracks have been arranged to be under construction, and they can be fully built in about half a year." Zhuge Jin replied, this is the logistics area, and he is responsible for it.

"Okay, I won't say anything else. Let's see how hygiene problems are to the extent?" Sun Quan said and took everyone to the soldiers' tent.

Everyone walked to the military camp and just walked to the door of a tent, they asked a faint strange smell. Chen Nian walked over and opened the curtain at the door, and a bigger smell rushed straight into it. Zhang Jie, Hong Ming, and Hong Jin were all used to it, but others couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses. At this time, the soldiers were all concentrated in the tent to discuss and study Sun Quan's articles and some theoretical ideas. Some people found that Chen Nian came out immediately. Seeing that it was Sun Quan and everyone outside, the squad leader of this tent had seen Sun Quan, he immediately saluted: "Swear to be loyal to my lord Sun Quan! The fourth squad of the 1st Battalion, 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Division of Wuyi Camp is conducting theoretical study. Please give the lord instructions."

"Very good, go and tell everyone to suspend their studies. I'll take a look at everyone, mainly to check the hygiene situation." Sun Quan said.

Then he took everyone into the tent. Fortunately, Chen Nian opened the curtain for a while and the smell inside was much better. Sun Quan and others could only come in. When he saw that the soldiers were dirty, some people were crawling with lice on their heads, and the bedding had a layer of dirty things. Sun Quan looked so angry that he wanted to vomit, but he came out soon. He took everyone back to the tent with a dark face.

"Zhang Jie, Hong Ming, Hong Jin, you three are military officials. What do you think about this?" Sun Quan asked angrily.

"Master, we used to be used to this in the mountains. Now they are a little better than before. At least they know that they have gone to the hut for urination and defecation." Zhang Jie looked at the Hong brothers and stood up and returned.

"Okay, I'm not in the mood to continue discussing this issue with you today. Now you are all back, and each one will come up with a way for me. I will go back to me tomorrow. If I can't think of a way, I will be in custody all!" Sun Quan said.

Sun Quan had no choice but to ask everyone to part ways, and then pulled Pang Tong to discuss what to do.

"Little Phoenix, what do you think is better?" Sun Quan said.

"Wuhou, this is not simple, try to rectify it as much as possible. Now we are still preparing for the expedition, and we have to clear the remaining mountains of the six counties in Jiangdong first. It will take two or three months. Now the weather is getting warmer, so that the soldiers can take baths and hygiene frequently, and it will be better slowly." Pang Tong said.

"Aren't you more powerful than Wolong? You are the phoenix flying in the sky. That's all." Sun Quan started to make fun of Pang Tong again.

"Mr. Wu, you laugh as much as you want. I don't believe you have any good ways to solve this problem." Pang Tong didn't give Sun Quan face either.

"Little Phoenix, listen, take notes for me and see how I do it." Sun Quan said.

"Don't write, just say it, I will never forget it." Pang Tong boasted.

"You are so awesome. My method is to make a sanitation order. In the future, my army in Jiangdong must implement this order. First, all soldiers in the army must take a bath before going to bed every day, regardless of winter and summer, except for wounded soldiers. Second, the instructors of each company are responsible for checking sanitation, and each squad tent must ensure that the bedding and clothes are odorless and clean. Third, every day when you wake up, the soldiers must organize their internal affairs, fold the bedding, and ensure that the tent is clean and tidy. Fourth, remove small things such as lice and bugs. Fifth, if any of the above four items is not done, the squad leader will be confined to one day, and if they fail to meet the standards, they will be fined for one day. If the platoon leader and other officers at all levels of the company will be punished, and the officers will be punished twice as much." Sun Quan said what he thought.

"The first three items you mentioned can be implemented. Even if you take a cold shower in winter, everyone can stand it. However, it is difficult to remove lice and bed bugs you said. The most important thing is that everyone's hair is so long. Even some lazy nobles sometimes have hair. Don't talk about those big-headed soldiers, what can they do to clean their hair so clean?" Pang Tong said.

When Sun Quan heard this, he knew that this was the problem. He asked someone to make soap according to his own tips, but he had never made it qualified, so there was no way, unless he had lost his hair and had it. He had it. Sun Quan laughed and said to Pang Tong:

"I have a way to ask everyone to shave their heads."

"You are so confused. We all pay attention to the body, hair and skin that we teach our parents. They don't shave or cut when they are born. If you ask everyone to shave their hair, will you not rebel?" Pang Tong said.
