Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 1886 Plague War ([-])

Liu Deshan was frightened, he had never seen the elder get so angry, he knelt down with a thud and said in a trembling voice: "Damn the little ones! They are all just greedy for money..."

Lin Motian thought that the plague in Guangzhou might have come from the leather goods carried by the businessman in front of him, and he couldn't help being very annoyed, "You are confused! You don't regret your death, the people in this city of Guangzhou will be dragged down to death by you. !"

Liu Deshan's whole body was like sifting chaff. Although he couldn't understand what was going on, it seemed that smuggling fur goods was a big taboo of the Senate.

Lin Motian didn't want to chat with him anymore, and asked a health policeman to interrogate him: to which merchants and individuals did the fur goods shipped in go, and who did he contact recently...

"You have to ask them thoroughly," Lin Motian said viciously, "He was dishonest, so he transferred a few veterans from the interrogation department to torture him! Don't miss a single word!"

After finishing speaking, he left Liu Deshan, who was kneeling and begging for mercy, strode out of the interrogation room, and ordered the epidemic prevention brigade to immediately send people to the port to seize the Dongshan residence.

"The boat was towed to the quarantine anchorage area on Cheung Chau Island, and the people on board were sent to the isolation camp on the island. Everything on the boat should not be moved."

"Yes!"

"Catch a few mice from the boat, they can be dead or alive, we must do a good job of isolation and disinfection!"

Because the private buyers of leather goods are mainly businessmen from Europe, according to the rules, foreign businessmen cannot go to Guangzhou to conduct trade, but can only buy and sell goods in Hong Kong.So it is impossible for them to buy leather goods that have not been quarantined, and the loopholes mainly come from Macau.The Portuguese in Macau had a long-term inextricable relationship with the merchants in Guangdong, and they were the most likely to carry private goods.

At Lin Motian's request, Liu Xiang ordered the gates to be closed and trade with the Portuguese stopped. At the same time, the waters of the Pearl River Estuary were blocked and Portuguese ships were strictly prohibited from entering and leaving Macau.

"From now on, people from both sides are prohibited from coming and going, and only Portuguese are allowed to buy food and daily necessities at the border gate. All ships from Macau are not allowed to leave the port. Newly arrived Portuguese ships are all diverted to Hong Kong."

After Liu Xiang signed the order, he sighed: "Now we are famous. In a few months, everyone from Hirado to Batavia will know that there is a plague in Guangzhou. Skaide has to jump..."

"At this time, what are you talking about about economic issues?" Lin Motian said, he was very dissatisfied with Scalde, if it weren't for his tone of "The Wealth of Nations", he would not have imported fur from Liaodong.Now he has earned a lot of money, and the plague has followed.

"That's it." Liu Xiang suddenly felt a sense of displeasure about being replaced. In the current city of Guangzhou, it seems that Lin Motian's words are the most effective.Everything revolved around epidemic prevention, and other things were put down, and the veterans and naturalized cadres who came to ask for advice also went to Lin Motian directly.

Lin Motian didn't have time to understand the feelings in Mayor Liu's heart. He kept giving orders, and the orders and documents flowed out from the Municipal Government's Epidemic Prevention Office in a steady stream, and quickly spread to the whole city.

At first, the neighbors in the neighborhood thought that Donghuo and Liu Deshan of the Xingfu were involved in some "rebellion" case and were arrested by the Australians.However, seals appeared later, and anti-epidemic personnel wearing long white isolation gowns and thick masks who sprayed potions in shops and homes immediately caused panic among the people.Then, various regulations and announcements came out one after another, and the news that the epidemic was spreading in Guangzhou immediately spread throughout the city.

Although there is no martial law on the streets, the curfew at night has been restored.The number of police officers and national troops on duty on the streets has increased significantly, and they all wear thick white gauze masks without exception; a disease and death reporting system has been stipulated, and various cleaning measures have been strictly implemented. Campaign", calling on every household to hand in a dead mouse every day...

As soon as the news of the "epidemic spread" spread, the rich families in the city began to move to other courtyards in the countryside.Lin Motian originally ordered the police to strictly pay attention to the changes in the flow of people entering and leaving the city, and was prepared to immediately initiate martial law in the event of a large-scale outflow of people.However, since there have been no outbreaks of infections and deaths, there have been no signs of large-scale population flight for a while.It's just that every household in the city is already making vinegar charcoal and smoking mugwort, making the city of Guangzhou smoky.

Quarantine officer Huo Junming put on red cuffs and a big mask, and started today's patrol with Zhao Gui.

He was born in a local military family, and he also had a "small flag" on his body. At the age of 17, he filled in the vacancies in the battalion. After the Australians came, he followed the general to "surrender the Song Dynasty" in a daze.

After surrendering to the Song Dynasty, the wages owed for many years were immediately repaid, and there was a lot of money.The brothers in the camp were all overjoyed, and they all said that the Senate is generous.But after a few days of being happy, an order was issued to all the crew to pack up and board the boat, and no one was allowed to go—hundreds of Fubo soldiers were watching with bayonet-mounted rifles.

Everyone thought that they were going to be dragged to fight when they were loaded onto the ship, and everyone was crying.Unexpectedly, it didn't take long to go to sea and disembark at the port.The place I arrived seemed to be in Lingdingyang. According to the sailors, this is "Hong Kong".

As a native of Guangzhou, "Hong Kong" has been called a thunderbolt in recent years.It is said that foreign ships from all walks of life from the East and the West went there for trade, and the Australians even built a walled city on it, with golden mountains and silver seas inside...

But that’s just saying, because none of the people around him have been to Hong Kong—even though they have lived in Guangzhou for generations, most of them have never even been to Humen.

Hong Kong does not have golden mountains and silver seas. In front of the huge Hong Kong fortress, there are only huge freight yards and towering cranes emitting black smoke and white steam.The ships in the harbor were like clouds, which opened the eyes of the soldiers who saw the operation of the modern seaport for the first time.

When Huo Junming arrived in Hong Kong, he enjoyed the "purification" treatment as usual, followed by "reorganization training".Separate the officers and soldiers first: the officers are one team, the soldiers are another team, and the soldiers and servants are another team.At the end of the day, the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled were weeded out, and they were all sent to a "storage team" alone.Those who are willing to go home to make a living by themselves will be given severance pay and return to Guangzhou with the transportation boat between the province and Hong Kong.

After weeding out the old and the weak, we entered the stage of "digging the roots".It is mainly a "liquidation" of the "historical issues" of the officers and veterans.Although considering the need to recruit and accept rebels in the future, except for a few heinous elements who were hanged on the gallows at the strong request of the soldiers, most of them still saved their lives, but they have been driven out of their wits by the violent mass movement. Demand "disarmament and return to the fields".Then they were dispersed and resettled to Hainan Island, Taiwan and Jeju Island.

As a reward for the magnanimity of the Senate and their desertion, they were able to retain their property, and the real estate and shares that could not be taken away were bought by the Planning Council.

The mid- and lower-level officers and soldiers who are not very angry with the public, those who are willing to continue to serve in the army, stay in the Hong Kong teaching team to continue training;

Huo Junming originally didn't want to be a soldier anymore, his family is in Guangzhou, and he wanted to get severance pay and go home, but when he wanted to go home, there was no way out, so he came out to be a soldier when he was 17 years old. No, no one wants to be a clerk when they go home--there are always apprentices in the shop--unless they go to the wharf to carry big bags and work as coolies.It's better to stay here with the Australians. Although the war is dangerous, the Australians are famous for fighting the war. Maybe they can get rich after a battle.

Unexpectedly, it was not my turn to fight, so I loaded the ship back to Guangzhou.After getting off the ship and not going into the city, I first trained in the original guerrilla training camp, and only then did I know what kind of "National Army Epidemic Prevention Brigade" I was in.

He was originally illiterate, but after a few months of training, he could roughly read newspapers and the like through literacy.He knows the three words National Army. During the training, the instructor said in the lesson "Armed Forces of the Senate" that the National Army is a kind of force under the command of the Senate, and its functions are the same as the "strong squad" in the original government "almost.And what to do with the words "anti-epidemic brigade", he didn't understand at all.

Huo Junming didn't know what "epidemic prevention" meant until "Emperor Lin" gave them a class.He tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.Thinking about carrying corpses like this, didn't beggars do it in the past?Why did you suddenly ask them to do it?The ready-made Guandi Temple has thousands of flowers that are not used, but these "good families" like them are used, the Australians are stupid enough!
During the training together, some were crying, some were lying on the bed without saying a word and kicking on the ceiling, and some were wiping away their tears to "teach Gu" to Paoze...

Huo Junming didn't sleep all night, his eyes were swollen the next day, and it is said that he ran away three times during the roll call.He was considering whether to run away, and the three were caught at lunch time.Throw it in the corner of the wall.

This is terrible, some people ran away during the training, but at that time they were still waiting to be assigned, and when they were caught, they were sent to a dark room to eat leftovers and squat for a few days.Now even if you have entered the Song Dynasty Army when you arrive at the epidemic prevention brigade, this run is a "deserter".

The three unlucky guys were first dragged to the playground by the "guards" and beaten severely in public, and then they were announced to be "dismissed from the military", "three years of hard labor in the mine", and "pursuing military pay". The last one made all the members shiver: " The whole family was exiled to Taiwan’s miasma”—the members of the epidemic prevention brigade were all from local military households in Guangzhou.

Now Huo Junming didn't dare to think about the word "escape" anymore, so he could only learn from his class honestly.Because it is related to their own lives, everyone dare not be perfunctory-in addition, Australians are known to have "miraculous effects" in medical skills, which also increases their trust in learning.

Because the training class hosted by Lin Motian lasted only one week, and the education level of the members of the epidemic prevention brigade was extremely low, the teaching focused on popularizing the basic identification of plague and other epidemic symptoms, illnesses, and corresponding protection and epidemic prevention methods.The purpose is: simple, easy to remember, and capable of execution.
