Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 75 Preparing for the Departure
Zhao Xin suddenly asked, "Samusu, your ancestors were all Manchurians?"

Samusu said: "No, my lord, we are all Sauron soldiers, and we used to be under the banner of the Ulla Yamen."

"Sauron? Is it the Daur people who keep horses or the Ewenki people who keep moose?"

Samusu's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he said quickly, "Sir, you are really well-informed, we are all Ewenki people."

Zhao Xin nodded and said, "Well. It's fine if you want to work. As long as you are obedient, food and clothes will be given to you."

Su Musu hurriedly kowtowed to Zhao Xin and said, "Thank you sir, thank you sir."

"But!" Zhao Xin's tone changed and became very vicious. "Among the dozen or so of you, if anyone dares to escape or snatch weapons to resist, then leave none of them!"

Samusu was frightened and trembled, and said repeatedly: "The villain dare not, the villain dare not. The villain will also tell them the meaning of the adults, please rest assured."

"Okay. I always kowtow to others, and my knees won't straighten up in the future!" Zhao Xin felt that he was almost done. He was a modern person, and he really couldn't get used to others kneeling to him at every turn.Moreover, even if the Manchus killed a lot of Han people after entering the customs, what does it have to do with people like Samusu?More than a dozen of them were Sauron people, and the ancestors of these people were still herding moose in the outer Xing'an Mountains at that time.

After hearing this, Samusu got up quickly, turned around and explained in Manchu to the other Qing soldiers and prisoners.After listening to the other prisoners, their eyes gradually became more vivid, and they hurriedly bowed to Zhao Xin and kept bowing.

Zhao Xin instructed Sheng Haizhou and Jiuzang: "Let these people help unload the horse, you guys keep an eye on them. Whoever dares to escape, shoot them directly."

"Understood, my lord." Katsu Kaishu and Kuzang bowed and saluted and left.

Li Ji, who was on the side, saw Sheng Haizhou and the others walking away, so he cautiously said to Zhao Xin, "My lord, can you take me with you when you go south this time?"

"What? Tired of watching the house?" Zhao Xin asked with a smile.

"How? I just want to help you get more people." Li Ji said awkwardly.

"Okay. I'll bring you this time." Zhao Xin patted Li Ji on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Haha!" Li Ji fell to his knees excitedly, leaning over and saluting.

After finishing the work here, Zhao Xin returned to the camp and found Dr. Hong and his wife who were watching the scenery from the watchtower.

At this moment, Hong Tao and Liu Siting are both tender and sweet, snuggling together and looking at the distant scenery.Seeing this, Zhao Xin coughed twice, and when he saw the two of them turned to look at him, he said with a smile, "I'm sorry, you two. I have something to discuss with you."

The three immediately sat down on the platform, and Li Ji and A Miao brought up a pot of hot tea and three cups.

Liu Siting was wearing a leather coat made of pearl-haired black fox fur, holding up the tea and sipping it lightly, just like a wealthy wife.

"Director Liu, where did you find this?" Zhao Xin asked with a confused expression.

"Hmph, it's a secret." Liu Siting rolled her eyes at Zhao Xin and said.

"Yeah. Come tomorrow, I'll ask them to make you an otter leather hat and a mink again. That's a style!" Zhao Xin complimented him and planned to ask Liji later.At present, he is responsible for all the supplies.

"Really, then we have to hurry. We also have to make an otter skin hat for our Hong Tao."

"Everything is there. No one is poaching at the moment. As long as you don't waste it, you can't catch it all."

The two teased for a while, and then Zhao Xin said to Hong Tao: "Doctor Hong, we are going south to pick up the refugees from the island country. It is estimated that at least 6000 people will come for one trip."

"So much?!" Hong Tao and Liu Siting asked in shock.

"That's right. There have been disasters in the island country since the year before last. According to history books, 300 million people will die in this nationwide famine."

When the two people on the opposite side heard about two or three million, their faces immediately turned pale.

"Moreover, next year there will be a severe drought in Henan and Shandong. If we don't respond, tens of thousands of people will die."

Hong Tao and Liu Siting looked at each other, and then asked word by word, "Zhao Xin, do you plan to prepare the two of us for epidemic prevention work?"

"Doctor Hong, the arrival of a large number of hungry people will inevitably bring infectious diseases. Therefore, I hope you two can lead the women in the current camp to prepare for the epidemic prevention work after going ashore."

"Are you going to have a seven-day quarantine?" Liu Siting suddenly realized.

"That's pretty much what it means. The exact number of days to be quarantined depends on the decision of the two of you. I personally think that the infectious diseases that can spread in this era are nothing more than smallpox, typhoid fever, cholera, plague, or because of diet and personal hygiene. mass malaria caused by etc."

After listening to what Zhao Xin said, Hong Tao nodded and said, "You're talking about the same thing. Although neither of us are engaged in infectious disease research, we know a little bit about the relevant knowledge. What do you say? President Zhao."

Zhao Xin was very happy to hear this, so he said to the two: "Tomorrow I will let Lao Chen plan two isolation areas to the west. My plan is that the refugees who get off the boat will follow the special purpose built. The passage goes directly into the isolation area; men and women are separated. The child depends on his age and decides whether to stay with his mother.

We are not engaging in concentration camps, so there is no need for the two isolation camps to be too far apart, let’s set them at 20 meters.In this way, those refugees who care about their families shout a few times by the fence, and the other party may also hear them.

As for how to check, what checks to do, and what vaccine to take, you two need to check. "

Hearing this, Liu Siting got up and walked to the fence. After thinking for a while, she turned around and said to Zhao Xin, "I have no problem with your plan, but there is a big problem. We don't have enough manpower."

"So I hope that the two of you will conduct preliminary training for those women tomorrow." After Zhao Xin finished speaking, he beckoned to A Miao who was waiting on the side.

In these days, Xiao A Miao's slender face has also become plump because she is full and warm.The dry, messy hair turned black and shiny.

"This child must be a beautiful girl when she grows up." Liu Siting looked at A Miao, who was blushing, and said with a smile.

When A Miao heard this, she lowered her head in embarrassment.King Duofu, who came up with her, ran to Zhao Xin to lie down, and rubbed his head hard against Zhao Xin's feet.

Zhao Xin patted A Miao on the back lightly, and said to Liu Siting and Hong Tao: "I will hand A Miao to you and let her learn from you two first. This child is very smart, and there is basically no problem with daily conversations in Mandarin. But I still don't understand some proper nouns. Then I will teach those island women through her."

Hong Tao nodded, while Liu Siting bent down and stroked A Miao's little head, slowed down and asked, "Would you like to learn from us?"

A Miao turned her head and glanced at Zhao Xin. Seeing Zhao Xin nodded and smiled at him, she bowed deeply to Liu Siting and said, "I will sit wherever the lord asks me to do."

Come on, why are you acting like a stubborn, daring and ruthless one?Zhao Xin shook his head and sighed helplessly.

"The two children of the Xu family, after I leave, please take care of the two of you." Zhao Xin made a new request.

"Bah~ what do you think of the two of us? Kindergarten teacher?" Liu Siting said angrily.

"The two children, like A Miao, lost their parents. The Xu family was even worse. When the two brothers were three years old and the other was one year old, dozens of family members were beheaded by the Qing court."

Zhao Xin brought the matter of the Xu family slowly, and when it came to suffering, Hong Tao and Liu Siting's eyes were red.

"Okay. President Zhao, bring one belt, and a bunch of belts. I promise you." Hong Tao took off his glasses and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes as he said.

Early the next morning, Zhao Xin found Chen Qingsong and asked him to start surveying and planning the location of the two isolation areas.Chen Qingsong let out a sigh of relief, thinking that he finally didn't need to drive an excavator!He told Zhao Xin that Tian Maozhu and Wan Zao had been watching by his side these days, so let them take turns to try to see if they can teach two apprentices.

Of course, Zhao Xin has no problem with such a good thing. He directly called Maosuke and Wan Zao and asked them if they would like to learn how to operate machinery with Chen Qingsong.The two nodded hurriedly; they had been following Chen Qingsong for seven or eight days, and had long been longing for that "fairy machine" that could dig hundreds of pounds of soil.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Xin asked the two of them to bow and salute Chen Qingsong, which was regarded as an official apprenticeship.

Another day passed, and in the afternoon, Wang Yuanfang and Liu Sheng's group of six finally returned.Except for Cerdan and his son, who were just like nothing else, the other four were all very tired.Seeing Zhao Xin who came to greet him, Liu Sheng gestured at Zhao Xin while no one was paying attention to him.After Zhao Xin saw it, he finally felt at ease.

"There are more than a dozen of them, and they were brought together by two small tribes." In the RV at night, Liu Sheng, Wang Yuanfangqiang and Ding Guofeng were full of food and drink, and they told Zhao Xin with solemn expressions. The journey of this trip.

Liu Sheng yawned: "After they escaped that night, a few of them were actually shot. When we found them, the injured ones were dying. Including the leader, there were a total of Fifteen people have all been dealt with. Seldan said that these guys had robbed Hengji and his village before, and then the Qing troops chased them down, and these people ran to the east."

"Okay, it's all settled. Otherwise, if we come here again while we're not here, it will be a big loss." Zhao Xin said with lingering fears.

After a long while, Wang Yuanfang said solemnly: "Serdan really doesn't have the ability to say, he is a proper scout. We didn't see many traces. He only glanced at it and knew how many. Individuals pass by, a few adults, a few old people. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be able to find those people this time, and I can't accept it."

"A hunter who specializes in beasts, can't you do it? Lu Shoushan told me that on the day Seldan escaped from the village, Zeng shot two armored soldiers with an arrow, killing one and being seriously injured. Good guy!" Liu Sheng tsk tsk exclaimed.

"I'll go, isn't this the same as Zhebie in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?" Zhao Xin was dumbfounded, and he began to wonder if he should give Seldan a compound bow to play with.

Before resting in the evening, Liu Sheng asked, "When are you going to leave?"

Zhao Xindao: "It's the day after tomorrow. We have to arrange a lot of things before we leave. If the new refugees arrive, it will be a mess. We have to send the first batch back as soon as possible, and start reclamation after the epidemic prevention is over."

In addition to epidemic prevention and isolation, the kitchen has to send additional staff, and a lot of things have to be prepared, such as drinking water, bathhouses, and personal hygiene.Otherwise, thousands of refugees will come ashore, and the west bank of the Sila River will stink in two days.

Two days before his departure, Zhao Xin held the first general meeting of residents in Beihai Town.

Holding up an electric horn, the man explained the purpose of going south this time to more than 300 men, women and children sitting around him, and at the same time announced the person in charge of the preparations for the refugees to land in the future.

As the person in charge of the administration, Chen Qingsong was mainly responsible for the site selection of the isolation and epidemic prevention area. After the site selection was completed, he led more than 100 people led by Maosuke and Wanzao to step up the construction of the isolation area.The construction tents bought by Zhao Xin before were set up in the isolation area, each room accommodated 24 people; if there was enough time, wooden bunk beds would be placed in the tents, so that [-] people could live at the same time.

Hong Tao and Liu Siting, leading [-] women, were responsible for the disinfection and quarantine of the refugees after they landed.

Veterinarians Liu Zheng and Zhang Bo stayed at the camp this time. They were responsible for the installation of drinking water purification equipment. Currently, the water source in the camp is drawn from the Sila River, and a pump was temporarily used to divert the river water to the dug in the camp. in the pool.

Jiuzang Heita led the logging team to continue cutting the trees on the north and west sides of the camp, so that the observation tower can have a wider view; more than 20 women, including Shino and Wanzao’s wife, continued to be in charge of the big kitchen. In addition to being responsible for the residents of Beihai Town In addition to their daily diet, they will also be responsible for the preparation of meals for refugees in the quarantine area in the future.

During his absence, Wu Siyu and Ding Guofeng will be in charge of the defense of the camp, with assistance from Pan Xiucheng, Seldan and his son, Yalha, Hengji and others.

Zhao Xin assured everyone that the current tent life is only temporary.When the manpower is sufficient, construction of villages and towns will start nearby, and each household will have its own house and land.

This time, he will lead Liu Sheng, Wang Yuanfang, Deng Fei, Zhao Liang, Lu Shoushan, Sheng Haizhou, Li Ji, Hu Ji and [-] adult men from the island country who are sailors.These [-] people have been given preliminary sailing training by Deng Fei, and they are still competent for chores.

On Thor, eight M2HBs have been installed on the left and right sides of the hull, and the muzzles of the two D30s point to the open sea.Liu Sheng, Deng Fei and others spent more than a day carefully checking the equipment and fuel conditions on the ship to confirm that everything was in good condition.

On March 49, the 29th year of Qianlong, Zhao Xin and his party boarded the Thunder God when the dawn was slightly dew.Deng Fei and Liu Sheng operated in a hurry again, first using the side thrusters to move the ship away from the dock, and then starting the main engine on the ship.

An hour later, in the eyes of the hundreds of men, women and children who came to see them off at the pier, the Thunder Horn whistled, and set sail to the south, targeting Sendai Domain.
