Chapter 135 Water Gu;

The so-called "water gu" refers to schistosomiasis, which has been prevalent in China for at least 2000 years. Before the advent of modern medicine, people had no way of knowing the cause of this disease.

The ancients classified it as Gu disease, and called it water Gu, water poison, stream poison, big belly disease and so on.

In "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescriptions" written by Ge Hong, a famous doctor in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there is a record "People in water poisoning...Insects eat the five internal organs, and the heat is extremely annoying. Good doctors can't cure it." "It is recorded that "some people suffer from edema, and the abdomen is big and the limbs are thin and the abdomen is as hard as a stone... This is a lifelong disease that cannot be cured by force."

In the later Ming Dynasty, the first discovery and disease naming of schistosomiasis was 40 years ago in 7896 in the Qiyuan calendar. People first discovered the pathogenic schistosomiasis cercariae through a microscope.

At that time, according to the investigations by the Tai Hospital and the local government, schistosomiasis was prevalent in 350 states and counties in many southern provinces of Ming Dynasty, with about 200 million people suffering from schistosomiasis, and more than 5000 million people who may be infected in the epidemic areas .

Due to the lack of modern medical conditions in the rural areas of Ming Dynasty, most people could not receive effective treatment. As the disease progressed and deteriorated, liver cirrhosis, splenomegaly, ascites, and emaciation followed, and eventually fatal!
As the hardest-hit area in the Poyang Lake Basin, in the past ten years, thousands of families in Duchang County alone have been wiped out, and some villages with hundreds of people have almost completely disappeared.

However, in that chaotic era, the imperial court and the government naturally had no time to take care of this matter. It was not until after the constitution was established and the situation stabilized that such diseases were taken seriously and treated.

However, due to the transmission route and the administrative efficiency of the grassroots organizations in the Ming Dynasty, the schistosomiasis disease has been on and off in the past 30 years, and it can only be said that it has been barely contained.

After all, it has been vigorously controlled for decades in history, but it has not been eradicated until the new century.Then what can only be done to this extent, let alone Daming.

Before the Dragon Boat Festival this year, due to the fact that schistosomiasis is not common in recent years, people forget the pain when their scars are healed. The people of Hukou County went down to the river beach to gather bamboo to prepare zongzi. As a result, more than [-] people were infected.

Some of them were acutely ill, so more than 600 people died of the disease in just three months.

However, such a disaster was concealed by the local government of Hukou County, because they were supposed to prevent the people from going to the river beach and other dangerous activities, and it was a huge dereliction of duty when this happened. The county medical explosion was reported only when it could not be concealed, and the words used in the report were also understated.

This kind of thinking of getting away with it obviously couldn't fool the experienced Zhu Shiyan who had been emperor for more than [-] years, so... the incident happened.

After Zhu Liqie, who had inspected Yangyue Company in Wuhan Mansion, learned about it, he changed his schedule on his own initiative and flew directly to Jiujiang Mansion.

Although the emperor was somewhat dissatisfied with the crown prince's actions, it was far from annoying, and he just ordered him to come back quickly.

The scope of the turmoil of this matter is not very large, and there is no Internet now, and people can learn a few words from the newspaper at most.

Beginning in mid-November, with the conclusion of the Marine Corps training class, the official transfer order of the Ministry of War was finally issued.

According to the arrangement, all the officers and soldiers under the jurisdiction of the First Marine Regiment must arrive at the formation site on November 21th, and the preliminary formation will begin on the [-]st.

There is no rush for the follow-up training, and it will not officially start until the [-]th day of the first lunar month next year.

As the chief officer, Zhou Changfeng arrived at the formation site in Jiangxinzhou early on the morning of the [-]th, and this will also be the base of the First Marine Regiment.

Now there is no Yangtze River Bridge and Jiangxinzhou Bridge, so this location is quite inconvenient in terms of transportation, but it is quite suitable for training with a unit like the Marine Corps?

"Jiangxinzhou is the only place suitable for building houses, and it can only accommodate four thousand people like you at most."

Jiangxinzhou is vulnerable to floods, so only a higher place can be used as a military camp.

Huang Taize made a special trip to "visit". Although he didn't say it verbally, he still felt reluctant to let his valued junior be transferred away.

"I'm afraid you have been in the eyes of the other party since you were ordered to attend the press conference. Since then, you will inevitably be involved in political struggles. It is very difficult to be alone..." Huang Taize said a few words, and then looked at Zhou Changfeng, a rare joke, said: "You can't take this lightly, do you hear that? Captain Zhou."

When Zhou Chang heard the news, he hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted, and replied seriously: "You are serious. I have been in the army since I graduated and now I can't live without your care. Seniors will always be seniors."

"Enough is enough, that's not the point." Huang Taize waved his hands indifferently, and looked at the boats on the Yangtze River in the distance, "Although we don't know the truth yet, we can get a glimpse of it. The radical and impatient people in the navy are quite There are many, and the theory of quick success and instant benefit is also very popular, so..."

"Are you worried about forcing the palace?" Zhou Changfeng asked.

"Well, but... maybe even more than that."

Being forced into the palace is already very serious, isn't it more than that?Worse?What's more serious than forcing the palace is...

But Huang Taize didn't seem to want to continue on this topic, he coughed twice, and then said: "There is no room for choice now, let's focus on the present."

Zhou Changfeng was originally in a good mood because these words became a little heavy, he dismissed the idea of ​​this aspect, and then smiled bitterly: "Xie Wancheng, the deputy of the regiment, Zhao Hanfeng, the chief of staff, Xue Can, the commander of the first battalion, and Zhu Lishuo, the commander of the artillery battalion are all As far as I know, the chief officers of the second battalion, third battalion and chariot team have not yet arrived, and building an army from scratch is more troublesome than I expected."

"The trouble is right, how can it be so easy to be a general?" Huang Taize paced with his hands behind his back, and continued: "The few people you know were all taken away from the third mixed brigade. I'm a member of the third brigade in my bones. You must know the resumes of the rest of them. They are not ordinary people. They must be restrained no matter what. You're up to it."

Chen Min, the battalion commander of the second battalion, was originally the battalion commander of the fifth independent battalion of the Marine Corps stationed in Weihai.

Fan Qijin, the battalion commander of the third battalion, is the grandson of Lai Amber today. On the whole, his theoretical level is not low, but his practical experience may be relatively lacking.

These guys have different personalities and qualities, and they are not fuel-efficient lamps. Zhou Changfeng's headache is very big when he thinks about the organization work in the future.

However, he still has confidence. In terms of quality, record, and personal force, he is confident that he can handle these guys.

As ferries brought soldiers, equipment, and building materials from the pier by the river, the deserted barracks suddenly became lively, with more than [-] trucks transporting equipment and building materials back and forth , while the soldiers came on foot after disembarking.

On the evening of the [-]th, with the arrival of the last officer, Zhou Changfeng convened a meeting of all officers at the time of dinner.
