The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

There are three places where refugees live outside the county. The one closest to the barracks is 12 or 13 miles away from the county, and it is the only place to go to the barracks. There were about two or three thousand refugees living in this settlement, and the shacks they lived in were built with the help of Xun Zhen's subordinates in the county.

Every time he went to the barracks, Xun Zhen would pass by this place.

When passing by again today, he specially asked the driver to stop the car and looked out of the car window for a while.

It was almost evening, and in the cold wind, a red sun set in the west, and the sky was splendid.

Not far away is a pavilion. The front of the pavilion is black and dirty, and it has not been cleaned for a long time. It stands deserted on the road. The ravines on both sides of the village road were overgrown with weeds and bushes. This side was an empty wasteland, and there was a large, large area of ​​low shacks. Around the shanty towns, there were people dressed in official uniforms, walking with swords or sitting under trees to rest.

Xi Zhicai sat opposite Xun Zhen, and their eyes crossed the window, one was looking in the direction of the barracks ahead, and the other was looking in the direction of the county seat behind. Xi Zhicai's eyes froze to one position, and said to Xun Zhen, "Lieutenant, look."

Xun Zhen turned her head back and followed Xi Zhicai's gaze. She saw a dozen or so civilians pushing four or five flatbed trucks stacked high out of the hut area, followed by a black-clothed official with a high crown. back. Although the distance is far, and the two cars are covered with mats, the hands and feet of the outsiders can still be faintly seen. Needless to say, these two cars must be loaded with dead refugees.

"The order of the prime minister's office has already been passed to the village."

The official in black with a high crown wears a cyan ribbon. The seal bag under the waist is a little smaller than the usual seal bag, and the half-pass seal is only half the size of a normal seal. , Xun Zhen is very familiar, this is the dress of Bai Shi officials. This official, Xun Zhen, also knew it, and it was the husband of Youzhi Qiang from his hometown.

When I passed by this refugee settlement before, I had seen corpses being pulled out, but I had never seen Qiangfu Youzhi from my hometown appear in person. This time he came forward in person, only after receiving a request from the Prime Minister to bury the bodies of the refugees. order.

Seeing the team of cyclists parked on the side of the road, this gentleman of the order saw the chariot of the lieutenant of this county, he was stunned, called the resident man, said a few words, then lifted the hem of the official uniform and trotted to the near. The knight in the **** stopped him.

Xun Zhen instructed Dian Wei outside the car: "Awei, let him come over."

Dian Wei Yingnuo, in the past, led this gentleman of the rank to the side of the car.

Since Xunzhen arrived in Zhao County, he first destroyed the left beard, then the yellow beard, and then thousands of rioters. In Weizhen County, in order to raise food, his lieutenant chief Handan Rong did not hesitate to offend the county gentry. Two young nobles were arrested and imprisoned, tortured to death, and the family was destroyed. In the eyes of Cheng Jia, Cen Rong, Chen Wu and other scholars and poor families who were re-used and promoted by Xun Zhen, Xun Zhen was a rare person. However, in the eyes of some low-level officials in the county, Xun Zhen is an uncompromising "capable official" and "torture official", a "dignified official" who is decisive in killing and must not be slack. ” This husband of Qiuzhi was one of the latter, so as soon as he saw Xun Zhen’s car, he hurriedly dropped his work and ran over to greet him.

But before he could speak, Xun Zhen asked first, "Is that the corpse in the car?"

"Yes."

"You know there are typhoid patients in the county, right?"

"knowledge."

"Are there any patients among the refugees?"

"Yes, five have been found. The two disease doctors sent by the county doctor Cao are examining the remaining refugees..."

Xun Zhen interrupted him and said, "Where are the five patients found now?"

"According to the order of the emperor, the clerks have taken care of them alone and isolated them from the refugees who are not sick."

"You said that the county sent two medical doctors here?"

"There is no way to do this. There are five townships in this county, and three refugee settlements. In addition to the county seat, the county doctor Cao's disease doctor is really not enough. Even these two disease doctors are still from the city. Recruited from the hospital."

Two or three thousand refugees, only two medical doctors are checking and treating. This is not a drop in the bucket, but it is almost better than nothing. It can be expected that typhoid fever does not have a large-scale outbreak or infection. Once a large-scale outbreak or infection occurs, the mere two medical doctors are useless.

"Since you have received the order from Xiangjun, I will not say more. The patient must be isolated and cared for, and the body of the deceased must be buried immediately."

"promise."

"Get some grass ash and dry soil, and sprinkle them into the huts. Always pay attention to keep it clean and clean, and sprinkle and sweep frequently. No dirt should be left in the hut area, let alone dirty water flow and no one to manage."

"Yes, it was said in the order of Xiangjun: If you have typhoid fever today, you should practice the heavy law, and those who abandon the ashes on the road should be tattooed."

"Those who throw ashes on the road get a tattoo" is the law of the Qin Dynasty. Ashes are garbage, and those who pile garbage on the road will be punished by tattooing. In fact, in order to avoid the spread of immune diseases, the ancients paid great attention to public health. This law of the Qin Dynasty was also inherited from the previous generation. The punishment for those who are more severe is to "cut off their hands".

"Are there toilets in the shack?"

"Du", Da Ye, Du toilet is a large toilet, that is, a public toilet.

Public toilets are a part of public health and have a long history. Also for the sake of epidemic prevention, the ancients also attached great importance to public toilets. It can be seen from a sentence in "Mozi": even when defending the city and fighting. To set up public toilets on the top of the city, "fifty steps and one toilet", surrounded by walls, "eight feet high", the soldiers and civilians defending the city must go to the public toilets to defecate.

"have."

"Is there a special person to look after it?"

The public toilets in the Han Dynasty, like those in later generations, had managers who were specially responsible for cleaning the toilets. Legend has it that Liu An, the former king of Huainan in the Han Dynasty, who went to immortality, was punished by immortals for "guarding the capital's toilet for three years" because of his disrespectful behavior.

"Some people were selected from the refugees to take care of them and be responsible for cleaning."

"Very good. You can go. ... Remember, isolating patients is one thing, cleanliness is another, and security guards can't be relaxed."

"promise."

Xun Zhenwei's name was out, and the husband of the township rank Qiang only exchanged a few words with him. It was a cold day, and sweat was dripping on his forehead and back. He respectfully stepped back a few steps, stood on the edge of the road, bent over and saluted, and waited until Xun Zhen and his party started to ride. After leaving, he stood up and felt the sweat on his brow.

The car started. Since the war last year, the village road has not been repaired for a long time, and it has been bumpy. Sitting in the ups and downs of the car, Xi Zhicai sighed and said, "Using toilets, sweeping and cleaning, etc., in the end, it's only the last part. Healing is the key! There is a shortage of doctors in the county, and there are only two or three thousand refugees. A medical doctor is here, and nothing else. It will take four or five days to check all the thousands of refugees. During this period, the typhoid fever may have spread long ago.... Lieutenant, a large-scale epidemic I'm afraid it will appear soon."

Xun Zhen learned from Xi Zhicai that there was a typhoid fever patient in the county in the afternoon. She went out of the lieutenant's mansion to the prime minister's mansion, and then from the prime minister's mansion to the barracks. Along the way, the people in the county were panicked, the clouds were bleak, and the people outside the county were displaced. There is a lack of medical care and food in the place where he lives, and he is not optimistic. Every time he sees a little more and walks a little more, his mood becomes heavier, and the epidemic is obviously out of control.

Xi Zhicai was right, a large-scale epidemic should appear soon, and the first outbreak of the epidemic should be where the refugees live.

County residents and villagers live relatively scattered, even if they live within a mile, at least in separate households, while the refugees live in crowded together, three small and narrow settlements, each of which has Thousands of refugees, crowded and crowded. Xun Zhen had been to the inside of the gathering place, where a dozen people could be squeezed under a small shed. Dirty, messy, crowded, how could the epidemic not break out?

But this is also helpless.

There is a lack of doctors and medicines, and there is no place for the refugees to live. This is an objective situation. Xun Zhen is not an immortal. Among the refugees, they can only do nothing.

With a heavy heart, Xun Zhen and Xi Zhicai arrived at the barracks.

...

The troops pay attention to discipline. Compared with the chaos in and outside the county, the barracks are still in good order, and it seems that they have not been affected by the outside world.

Xun Zhen's barracks had its own military doctors. Although most of them were ulcer doctors who were good at surgery, there were also disease doctors specializing in internal medicine. When Xun You, Handan Rong, and Liu Bei were ordered by Xun Zhen to come to the barracks, Handan Rong personally went to the county and asked the county doctor Cao to ask for a few sick doctors. , He is quite familiar with the people in the county government, so although the county government also lacks doctors, he still meets his requirements. Under the arrangement and mobilization of Handan Rong, Liu Bei, Xun You, Xu Zhong, Jiang Qin, Xun Cheng, Xin Ai and others, more than a dozen disease doctors joined the battle. The five thousand cavalry pawns in the battalion have already checked most of them.

As Xun Zhen said to Xi Zhicai, he does not love money, but only loves people. He usually treats the soldiers well with meals. The soldiers are all very physically fit. It is also a place that is semi-isolated from the outside world, and diseases from the outside cannot be transmitted. Therefore, for various reasons, so far, no infantry and cavalry pawns in each battalion have contracted typhoid fever.

This good news made Xun Zhen heave a sigh of relief, and after thinking about it for a long time, his heart fell.

Xi Zhicai, Xun You and others were also relieved a lot. As long as there was no large-scale epidemic in the barracks, they would not be afraid of the people and refugees outside being in chaos due to the epidemic.

In the tent, Xun Zhen called together Xu Zhong, Jiang Qin, Xun Cheng, Xin Ai, Wen Pin, Liu Deng and other generals, and held a brief meeting: "From the current situation, the epidemic is unavoidable. Sooner or later there will be a big epidemic. You have to take care of things in the camp."

"promise."

"I said three things: First, the military's morale must be stable, and there must be no chaos. Second, from today onwards, the gates of the camp should be closed, and the army without me will order no one to enter. Third, if there is a patient with typhoid fever in the camp, transfer it immediately. ..., Junqing, isn't the northern camp corner empty? You send someone to rectify it, all typhoid patients will be transferred there, and the outside must be strictly guarded, and outsiders are not allowed to approach half a step."

Xu Zhong got up and said, "No."

"As soon as the camp door is closed, even me, I can't come and go at will. Gongda, you stay here and help Jun Qing manage the camp."

I don’t know when this epidemic will end. After the camp door was closed, Xun Zhen had to lead by example, and could not come and go at will, so the camp had to leave a resourceful and reliable person with sufficient ability to respond to Xu Zhong’s governance. business. This person is none other than Xun You.

Xun You got up and replied, "No."

Xun Zhen motioned for him and Xu Zhong to sit back on the table, and then said, "The first thing is to take care of the affairs in the camp, and the other is the public security. We must strictly prevent the refugees and the people from causing chaos." He looked forward to everyone and asked, " Who among you is willing to lead troops out of the camp to patrol the county?"

Jiang Qin and the others looked at each other.

Knowing that a large-scale epidemic is about to break out outside, who wants to go out on patrol at the risk of contracting typhoid fever? And listening to Xun Zhen's words, from today onwards the gates of the camp will be closed and no one will be allowed in and out, even Xun Zhen himself will not be able to enter or leave the camp at will. They have to stay outside until the epidemic is over, which is too dangerous.

Xu Zhongfu stood up again with his sword, and said in a deep voice, "Zhong Yuan is going to leave the camp."

When Xun Zhen was not in the camp, Xu Zhong was all in the army. He was already the first person under Xun Zhen's tent. Xun Zhen regarded him as a confidant and a right-hand man~www.wuxiaspot.com~ How could he use him? out of camp? Shaking his head and smiling, he said, "Why kill a chicken with a butcher's knife?"

The last time I ambushed Zuo Xu, because of Li Xiang's incident, Jiang Qin was always worried that Xunzhen would alienate him. At this time, he saw how many people in the tent bowed their heads and said nothing. a disease.

The epidemic left him with a deep and terrifying memory. At that time, when he was about ten years old, everything he saw and heard every day was about dead people. Every day, corpses were carried out of it. There are villagers, his clansmen, and his family members. During those unbearable days, almost every family died and everyone cried.

Recalling this, he suddenly felt terrified and lost his courage.

Everyone in the tent had personally experienced the epidemic in the second year of Xiping, and Jiang Qin was not the only one who had lingering fears. For a while, the tent was silent. Xun Zhen frowned slightly, then smiled and said: "In the past, when attacking the Yellow Turbans and the bandits, all the gentlemen eagerly sought to be the vanguards, and in battle, they all defeated the front and fought fiercely, and took the lead, ... What? Is typhoid fever better than the Yellow Turbans and bandits Scary?"

Liu Deng scratched his moustache and muttered: "If you attack a thief, you will have 100,000 thieves, and Deng doesn't care about it. He would like to be a lieutenant pioneer, but typhoid fever? If you get this disease, ..., alas A man should die on the battlefield, how can he die of illness?"

In the past, Confucius said, "A harsh government is fiercer than a tiger." Today, typhoid fever is fiercer than a tiger.

Even brave people like Liu Deng and Jiang Qin were reluctant to go out on patrol for fear of contracting the disease. The fear of typhoid fever among ordinary people can be imagined. The more fearful the people in the county are, the more this patrolling force needs to be dispatched as soon as possible to show deterrence.

Xun Zhen sank her face and was about to speak when the two of them stepped out and said at the same time, "Ai (Preparation) is willing to lead troops to patrol the county."
