Chapter 403
Bingcheng, Hanyao Hospital
The two actual controllers of the ice city, Zhu Chuanwen and Valentin, sat quietly at the door of the pathology laboratory of the hospital, waiting for the test results inside.

In mid-October, Zhu Chuanwen received a letter from Xu Shichang, saying that a group of laborers from Russia would return, and these people would be handed over to Hanyao for resettlement.

Among them, Zhu Chuanwen saw a very famous name——Lu Zhengxiang, who studied under Xu Jingcheng and was in charge of overseas affairs since he was nearly 20 years old.

Xu Jingcheng is familiar with Zhu Chuanwen, because he is already dead. According to the biography of Cixi compiled by the hunter department, first the superiors killed eight ministers to seize power, and then in the Year of Gengzi they killed five ministers and started a war with the Eight Kingdoms. It can be said that this old woman can’t do anything. Kill one's own person No.1.

And Lu Zhengxiang's master, Xu Jingcheng, was one of the lords and five ministers who were killed in the Gengzi Year.

With the perspective of future generations and Zhu Kaishan's standpoint, Zhu Chuanwen's evaluation of the Boxers is actually positive. After all, it is a patriotic movement. Among them, the old Zhu Kaishan's side is okay, and there is no "Tianling". Things like spirit, earth spirit and spirit are just a passion for serving the country.

But others cannot be generalized. There are all kinds of people once there are more than 10,000 people, let alone a movement of 30+ people?Zhu Kaishan also often said to Zhu Chuanwen when he was drunk: "My son, your father trusted those people in the capital too much in the first [-] years."

Yes, how much conspiracy and politics are mixed in the movement of 10,000+ people.

Back to Lu Zhengxiang, he was the Minister of the Qing court in the Netherlands at this time, but it turned out that the order of the Qing court had already gone to Russia in October, intending to revise the "Sino-Russian Revision Treaty and Revision of Land Trade Regulations" signed in 10.

The name is a bit of a mouthful, and it involves historical reasons. The British opened the door to the southeast coast through the Opium War, and the Russians opened the door to trade between Xinjiang and Mongolia in the north and Tsarist Russia through the "Sino-Russian Land Trade Regulations" in 1862.

The Sino-Russian Land Trade Regulations can be said to have buried a lot of things in the northern Xinjiang and Outer Mongolia areas. The northern Xinjiang area was resolved after Zuo Zongtang went to Xinjiang. The extension of this is the " Sino-Russian Revision of the Treaty and Revision of the Overland Trade Regulations", of course, there is also the traitorous matter of Wanyan Chonghou, a minister of the Qing court, so I won’t mention it much.

According to the current international situation, the situation in Europe is tense, and there are a few smart people in the Qing court. The situation in Europe has prompted the alliance between Britain, France, and Russia, and it has also affected the farther Asian region. The three countries are constantly fighting for it. Qing court - this population is the largest country in the world.

Revising the treaty that was unfavorable to the Qing court became Lu Zhengxiang's task at this time, and one of the conditions for getting back the laborers who had gone to Russia began to return.

These laborers were recruited by Tsarist Russia when they were building the Trans-Siberian Railway. Among them, the ones who went to Russia to work for the longest time can be traced back to the time when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded the capital, and they were deceived by the Russians in the name of buying camels.

At first Zhu Chuanwen was still happy, thinking that Xu Shichang was not bad, and always doing something good for himself, but after taking over, he realized that this is a hot potato, and he couldn't be happy anymore...

"Mr. Zhu, is your guess accurate?" Valentin had a suspicious look on his face, wondering if his plan against Han Yao was exposed later, and what did Zhu Chuanwen discover?To come up with such a sensational thing...

Because after Zhu Chuanwen took over this group of workers, symptoms such as chills, chills, severe headaches, joint or muscle pains, loss of appetite, and fatigue appeared one after another, which made him have bad thoughts. The plague came...

After the catastrophe, there will be a catastrophe. This is Zhu Chuanwen's idea to connect with the flood in the Kanto region, but now, he discovered that this thing is a fucking imported product brought back from Russia.

"Accurate? President Valentin, do I dare to give an accurate definition of such a thing?" Zhu Chuanwen opened his eyes slightly, looking a little annoyed.

Also, who dares to joke about such a thing, Valentin sighed secretly in his heart.Compared with the Qing people, the Europeans were a little more frightened by the plague.In the sixth century A.D., a plague destroyed the Eastern Roman Empire; a "Black Death" wiped out one-third of Europe's population; extending from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the plague that spread to the world in the nineteenth century Nearly ten million people were involved in it.

Who dares to guarantee this matter.

This is like a reincarnation, extending from the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom to the plague in Yun and Gui, spreading to Europe, and now it has traveled more than half of the world, and then spread from Europe to Kanto.

The two were arguing, the door of the pathology laboratory opened, Zhu Chuanwen hurriedly put on a mask, and Valentin did the same.

"President, I just finished dissecting this dead body, and I'm sure it's the plague!" Li Weiren, supervisor of the Medical Department of Hanyao University Hall, said sternly as he unfastened the rubber gloves on his hands after he came out.

And the Russian doctor who came out of the first call also reported to Valentin. The top doctors of the two ice cities have obviously reached a consensus.

Valentin was about to faint, but the news was like a bolt from the blue, which completely disrupted his future deployment.

In comparison, Zhu Chuanwen seemed much calmer. Sure enough, some things were unavoidable.

Waiting for Valentin to catch his breath, Zhu Chuanwen dragged Valentin to the ventilation area outside the hospital.

"Mr. President, the matter is confirmed, then we have to act!" Zhu Chuanwen said.

"Mr. Zhu, tell me, I'll let you know what happened this time." Valentin doesn't care about targeting Han Yao now. At present, keeping the ice city is what he needs most, and this has to do with the black hat on his head.

"First of all, you have to get in touch with the Russian envoy in Bingcheng, and report this matter to the Qing court from your level. This matter is too big, you and I can't handle it." Zhu Chuanwen thought for a while, first Said.

"It should be so." Valentin nodded. Foreigners accounted for one-third of Bingcheng, and most of these one-third were Russians. Valentin had to keep these people first, but thinking about it from another angle, among them were Qing people. And the most, here is the land of the Qing people, the Qing court must pay attention to it.

"Secondly, Bingcheng must be under martial law and reduce population flow." Zhu Chuanwen thought for a while and said, this was originally the plan in his mind, but it was related to the Russian railway, so he had to deal with Valentin, the director of the Eastern Railway Company discuss.

"This..." Valentin hesitated and stopped the railway transportation. It can be said that he can't make the decision. It depends on the opinions of the Siberian Governor's Office and the Far East Command.

Not to mention the time-consuming and labor-intensive transportation of materials from Russia, most of the living materials in eastern Siberia in recent years have actually been supplied by the northern Kanto region.

"Mr. President, report it. If this thing spreads to Vladivostok, or even Siberia..." Zhu Chuanwen is now planning to smash the can.

"I'll report it as soon as possible..." Valentin said and was about to leave.

"Mr. President, wait, there are also those laborers in Bingcheng." Zhu Chuanwen finally mentioned these people.

The good thing is that Zhu Chuanwen placed these people in a concentrated area outside the ice city at first, and originally planned to select them. Besides, these are all workers who have worked in Russia. Knowing Russian is one aspect, and the type of work has not yet been figured out. .No matter how bad it is, they are all workers who have participated in the construction of the railway.

"Mr. Zhu, I will do whatever you say?" Valentin obeyed rarely.

"Isolate them temporarily, but in order to avoid the continuous expansion of the scale, I still need the help of the Russian factory, at least to ensure that everyone has a room to avoid further expansion.

In addition, the people of the Eastern Railway Company had to ascertain how many workers from Manchuria who entered Heilongjiang got off the train early.If the ice city is surrounded by the plague, no matter what we do, we can't be alone, can we? "Zhu Chuanwen talked about the truth that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold.

Valentin nodded and said, "I'll ask Alexei (President of the Russian Chamber of Commerce) to find Mao Guangting later." He hurried to find the Russian consul, and Zhu Chuanwen was no longer alone in this matter.

Under powerful external factors, Valentin and Zhu Chuanwen, Tsarist Russia and the Qing court temporarily stood on the same front.

Zhu Chuanwen returned to the hospital and walked directly into Li Weiren's conference room.

Li Weiren was arguing with a man from the Qing Dynasty wearing a mask at this time.

"What's the matter, Weiren?"

"President, my opinion on this dissected corpse is to burn it directly, but this person is the cousin of the deceased inside, so he disagrees!" Li Weiren said aggrievedly.

"What's your name?" Zhu Chuanwen looked at the thin and dark laborer and asked.

"Big, my lord! The villain's name is Diao Linrong, he is Lin Hui's elder brother. We have worked in a factory in Chelyabinsk, Russia for 9 years. This time we finally let us go back to China. Lin Hui, Lin Hui..." He said , the man began to sob.

"Can you speak Russian?"

"The villain will say it!"

"Then you should also be a person who has received some advanced knowledge. Do you know what disease your brother has?" Zhu Chuanwen asked.

"Dean Li said it was the plague!"

"Yeah, since you know it's plague, why don't you listen to the doctor's advice?"

"However, I have to take Lin Hui's body back and let you dismember Lin Hui. I am already incompetent as an older brother, and now I can't even take the body back..."

"There is no need to discuss this matter! Besides, since you have accepted Hanyao's resettlement fee of 3 silver dollars in advance, then you are Hanyao's people. Believe me, I am not trying to harm you." Zhu Chuanwen said very It is sincere, for such a person who has just joined Hanyao, he has to gradually assimilate.

"My lord! I still beg you to return Lin Hui to me!" With a plop, Diao Linrong fell to his knees.

"Crack!" Zhu Chuanwen took out a gun from his armpit and patted it on the table, asking, "Do you want this, or your brother?"

"Little man, villain!" Diao Linrong saw the gun, and the words seemed to be stuck in his throat, but he just couldn't speak.

"Wei Ren, call the Zhou family brothers and Qiao Hongguo, and ask them to come to the hospital to see me." Zhu Chuanwen looked at the phone on the table and instructed Li Weiren.

As for Diao Linrong, since he saw the gun, his calf was actually a little weak. How many years, how many years has he been threatened by this gun?

He was about to go out, but was stopped by Zhu Chuanwen. "You can't go yet!"

"My lord, the villain doesn't want my brother's body anymore, please let the villain go!"

"You have to observe. You are the person who has the most contact with your brother. I have to make sure that you are not infected with the plague." Zhu Chuanwen looked at Li Weiren after finishing speaking. "Wei Ren, set up a quarantine area outside the city and put all these asymptomatic people in. Now I temporarily appoint you as the commander of the plague in the ice city. When the plague in the ice city has not completely subsided, your Commands will be equal to my words."

As Zhu Chuanwen said, Secretary Zhao Dong glanced at him in surprise, and then immediately drafted the document. After Zhu Chuanwen signed it, he ran towards the telegram sending point closest to the hospital. In half an hour, the order will be completed by telephone, radio, etc. Newspapers and cable telegrams spread throughout the ice city.

Li Weiren didn't expect that he would assume such a heavy responsibility all of a sudden. With the help of Zhu Chuanwen's guards, Diao Linrong was brought under control and temporarily placed in the ward of Hanyao Hospital.

The Zhou brothers and Qiao Hongguo arrived, and Zhu Chuanwen was waiting in the director's office of Hanyao Hospital.

"Brother Zhou, this is the incinerator I asked Li Weiren to draw just now. From now on, organize workers to build this furnace, and put them all outside the city. When corpses arrive, they will start burning immediately," Zhu Chuanwen said.

"Burn the corpse?" The Zhou brothers' faces changed color when they heard this.

"Wei Ren, tell them about the dangers of the plague." Zhu Chuanwen also understands that such an approach is indeed shocking to the world now. Like Diao Linrong, Chinese people have always paid attention to burying themselves in the soil. Why did Diao Linrong say that he would take the corpse back with him? That is the meaning of falling leaves returning to their roots.

After a brief introduction, the Zhou brothers became more and more frightened as they heard it, and hurriedly ensured that the task was completed, and discussed with Li Weiren the unreasonableness of his design of the incinerator.

The meeting room split into two waves instantly, and Qiao Hongguo's expression changed as he realized the urgency of the matter.

"Hong Guo, two things, the first is to organize the elite forces of the Workers' Union to confiscate the labor insurance masks issued to the workers in the early stage, and to calculate the money for them. Each mask is calculated at a price of 5 cents, and then the price is 5 cents. Sell ​​it to everyone in Ice City."

The price of 5 cents is basically the production cost of a Hanyao labor protection mask. Over the years, one has been distributed every month. The workers of Hanyao have accumulated a lot, and the warehouse of Hanyao has also accumulated a lot.

"Secondly, you contact Zhu Chunshan and Li Sixu of the Bingcheng detachment, and I will sign an order for you. The three of you will be the defense officers of the Bingcheng plague. Follow the orders of me and Li Weiren to control Bingcheng. Get up. First is the mask, which must be worn! Those who don’t wear it will be fined, one silver dollar each time, and it will come into effect two days later, and publicity will be carried out from door to door.

The second is sanitation. We started to focus on the sanitation of the ice city, organized people to burn lime outside the ice city, and sprinkled it on toilets, mouse holes, doorways of every household, and public places.

That's all I can think of for now, I'll add later...

Wei Ren, what else do you want to explain? "Zhu Chuanwen asked Li Weiren who had finished discussing how to make the crematorium.

"Chairman, it's gone!" Li Weiren didn't expect that his chief minister could think so much in a short period of time. Sure enough, the chief minister knew some modern epidemic prevention knowledge.

"That's good! You have to work hard during this time. You have to compile a leaflet on the hazards of the plague. Hongguo will print and distribute it on a large scale, and write down all the hazards. And you have to organize the students to go to the Check the labor gathering points outside the city. Protect yourself before saving others. This is my task for you.

In addition, gloves, clothes, and masks must be changed every day. I will organize manpower to produce alcohol and other disinfection materials, which must be disinfected every day. "

After Zhu Chuanwen finished speaking, he looked at Li Weiren who was still a little dazed and asked: "By the way, do you have anyone who needs help from the Qing court? I will report this matter to Xiliang immediately!"

"President, it would be great if Wu Lien-teh could be sent here. He has a deep research on epidemic diseases." Li Weiren was finally able to intervene.

"I see!"

After Zhu Chuanwen finished speaking, he walked in the direction of Hanyao's headquarters. The Bingcheng detachment will directly send troops to take over Hanyao Hospital in the future.

 There is another chapter at 12 o'clock, starting every day on Wednesday.
