The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 391 The epidemic breaks out!

Jiang Cheng sank, straightened his body and patted the driver's seat heavily: "Remember the father and daughter, and find a big pharmacy to treat them later."

Xu Fushan was quite surprised: "Master, are you trying to be kind? There are too many things to deal with. There are people who are hungry and sick during the war. We can't take care of them all!"

Jiang Cheng got angry when he heard this, and slapped him on the back of the head: "You are so bold! Ye Hai didn't tell you the rules, when did you ever refute what I said?"

This guy has only been with Jiang Cheng for a short time. He was transferred from the infantry. Because he is not afraid of death in battle and is very agile, he went to Shanghai with Jiang Cheng last time. When he was assassinated, he was lying in the hospital pretending to be Jiang Cheng.

If this kid hadn't made great contributions, Jiang Cheng probably wouldn't have just given him a slap in the face.

"Oh, I'm wrong, I'm wrong! I dare not talk nonsense anymore--"

Xu Fushan didn't dare to say anything else, and hurriedly hurriedly sent Jiang Cheng all the way to the office hall.

At this time, many people had gathered at the door. When they saw the young commander-in-chief arrive, they surrounded him excitedly and started talking to him.

The more Jiang Cheng looked at it, the worse it felt.

When he was in charge of Siping, there were civilians who stopped his car on the road to protest their injustice. The same thing happened in Changchun... But today, looking at the clothes these people were wearing, he realized that most of them were not ordinary people.

Sun Zhengnan was leading his men to try to disperse the crowd, but when he saw Jiang Cheng, he hurriedly came forward and said that he had caused trouble for Master Jiang, and ordered the soldiers to maintain order.

"Wait, I think this is not right. Pick a few representatives to come upstairs with me, and let the others go home first."

Jiang Cheng's words made everyone shout compliments like "Jiang Tian Lord", but this "Jiang Tian" had no intention of listening. He immediately ran quickly into the gate through a path squeezed out by the guards.

Han Zongyang, Guan Zhiyuan and many other civil servants had been waiting here for a long time. Even Luo Yuzhu, who was transferred from Liufangzi Coal Mine to Changchun to be in charge of mining, had arrived.

"What's going on? Why are you all here?"

Jiang Cheng lifted his military cap and saw that everyone was worried. He frowned and asked, "What happened? Why are you here, Lao Luo?"

When he heard his name was called, Luo Yuzhu quickly ran past Guan Zhiyuan, wiped his sweaty face and said, "Master Jiang, I don't want to cause you any trouble!"

"You don't know... ahem, what else don't you know - that's it, that's it,"

Seeing him stuttering, Jiang Cheng got even angrier. He turned around the corner of the stairs, glared at him and cursed: "Think it over first, you bastard! I want to listen to what's going on, but I don't have time to care whether you know it or not."

Luo Yuzhu was so frightened by these words that he lowered his head. Sun Zhengnan, who followed closely, frowned and said, "Hurry up and tell me!"

Luo Yuzhu swallowed hard and then told the story one by one with difficulty.

First, something happened at the coal mine in Siping. The person in charge of the mine is now his brother-in-law.
The mining area pays a lot of money, and the wages are stable and paid on time every month, so basically all the men who meet the requirements living near Liu's house work in the coal mine.

However, just a few days ago, more and more men were asking for leave from the mine… Although the production conditions in the Republic of China were considered bad, the Liufangzi Coal Mine was an open-pit mine, and usually some people would get headaches or fevers, or get hurt by accident;

This is the first time that such a large number of miners have taken leave due to illness. The most important thing is that some miners are so eager to get paid that they continue to work, and some have even fallen seriously ill and died.

People have started dying! ?
As soon as he entered the big office, Jiang Cheng quickly turned his surprised expression away.

He asked several civil servants to sit down, and then he asked about the symptoms and the specific situation. Fever, dry cough, severe diarrhea, large patches of red rashes on the body, etc.

It must be typhoid fever!
Moreover, he discovered it a little too late; the virus had already spread to Liufangzi and Changchun.

Jiang Cheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat:
This is wrong!
I have never heard of typhoid fever in either place. And most importantly, as an intestinal disease caused by Salmonella, it is more common in summer and autumn. How can...

Suddenly he thought that someone was playing tricks on him, but Han Zongyang's words interrupted Jiang Cheng's thoughts -

The epidemic in Changchun is more concentrated, and symptoms of all sizes seem to have emerged overnight.

The two newly built hospitals were simply unable to handle the number of patients being treated, and many deaths occurred.

"Master Jiang, I'm back."

As they were discussing the situation of more flowers blooming in the city, Jiang Cheng's bodyguard Xu Fushan came trotting over and leaned over to whisper to him as he frowned, "Sir, there's news from the foreign hospital that there are too many people coming to see the doctor, and the doctors can't take care of them!"

"Mr. Zhang has arranged a place to stay, but Brother Hai has to wait another two days... I'm afraid,"

Along with the epidemic, there will inevitably be medical runs.

Once patients are not effectively treated and isolated, these sources of infection will infect more normal people.

By then, one case after another will cause trouble all around, and the whole Changchun will become the "typhoid capital"!
We must investigate the source of the virus, but what we have to do now is to follow the successful anti-epidemic experience of the 21st century and collect all the patients who should be collected.

Fortunately, typhoid fever is not a respiratory infectious disease.

The sources of infection of this disease are carriers and typhoid patients - the body fluids and excretions, especially feces, carry the largest number of bacteria.

In other words, as long as the source of the bacteria is controlled, the source of virus transmission can be cut off;
Jiang Cheng immediately took over as the highest official and asked Sun Zhengnan to draft a temporary bill to control the epidemic. He ordered Guan Zhiyuan to go to the epidemic area and to transfer all the military tents that could be mobilized nearby.

Fortunately, the weather in Changchun is getting warmer day by day, and it is no longer freezing to the point of freezing to death.

The most important thing about this disease is to manage the water source and the patient's excrement, which requires a large amount of lime.

Jiang Cheng immediately contacted Siping and Fengtian. In addition to requesting various supplies for epidemic treatment, he also reported the situation here to the Marshal's Mansion.

While the work of mobilizing supplies, isolating and treating patients was proceeding in an orderly manner under Jiang Cheng's correct and effective command, news spread in the city that the disease had a high mortality rate and that those who went to the quarantine area would be buried alive.

Regardless of the fact that the people in the city were unwilling to cooperate with the treatment, even the low-level soldiers who were sick began to sneak out of the city under the cover of night.

Jiang Cheng, furious, immediately ordered the military camp to be sealed off and all the gates of Changchun to be under unified management. No matter who entered or left the city, they had to be inspected.
Anyone with symptoms found leaving the city must be detained on the spot and sent to a quarantine area.

Although this series of arrangements responded quickly, the dispatching capabilities, response speed, and even the degree of cooperation of the people were far behind those in the 21st century.

"I'm afraid the only option is full martial law."
