Fortunately, in the morning, the police internal affairs unit had uniformly distributed rubber bullets and tear gas, and had deployed a number of anti-chemical defense uniforms to the police internal affairs unit, so when dealing with emergencies, the officers at the checkpoints and outposts had more spare time and did not cause any more casualties.

From the beginning of the outbreak of the smallpox plague, although the official media such as the Datang Daily could not clearly say in the newspapers that we were crossing the crowd and we knew how to deal with smallpox, some of the crossing people still thought that the Ministry of Health was suspected of inaction. However, fortunately, after the outbreak of the crisis, the Ministry of Health immediately connected with other ministries such as the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of National Defense to immediately control the situation, which also has certain advantages.

The incident of infected Indians flocking to Los Angeles has nothing to do with the Ministry of Health, but considering that the Tang government does not know how many Indian tribes in the entire Jiazhou have been infected with smallpox, it is not clear how they were infected. What's worse is that if one carelessly causes Indians to become the source of secondary infection, causing a large number of Los Angeles residents to be inspired, it will be even more troublesome.

On the same day, the cabinet issued an urgent notice, adding military martial law to the red martial law against the epidemic, and the police internal affairs force was fully dispatched to guard the various passages into Datang, and at the same time strengthened patrols inside and outside the city, and no one, even livestock, could be allowed to enter Los Angeles. The Datang army was also mobilized as a second-line force in the event of an emergency. will be put into service.

And the early morning bolt incident was also controlled by public opinion. Those who knew were asked by their superiors to keep their mouths shut. And signed a non-disclosure agreement. And Datang's media is not developed now, especially the existing media basically do not dare to go against the official for the sake of news exclusivity and vigor.

The Department of Health has also responded urgently, and if the Indians' medical needs are not met, they will continue to hit Los Angeles, and even the walls will fail. Therefore, the Department of Health decided to urgently set up five temporary medical posts around Los Angeles and send medical personnel there to treat the Indians. Although the sanitation and conditions of such temporary medical posts are inadequate. But at least it can save some people and prevent the crisis from expanding.

The Indian soldiers who served in the Tang Army were also recruited at this time to help maintain order. A medical center has been set up with military tents outside the checkpoint in the north of the city, in fact, this is built according to the standards of a field hospital, and the Ministry of Defense has stockpiled some medical supplies for the field hospital since the preparation of the Dujuan plan, and all of them have been taken out and used at this time.

Su Muri, the cavalry battalion commander standing next to Bai Nan, had a look of self-reproach, and he said, "It's all my ...... to blame."

Bai Nan asked, "Why is it your fault?" ”

"Last year, my uncle in my tribe got a stone. The witch doctor can't cure it, and it's about to die. I knew it, and I rushed to the tribe to take my uncle to the hospital in Los Angeles, and then the doctor operated on him and saved his life. Since then, the people in the tribe have known that our medical skills here in Los Angeles are the most brilliant, so when they encounter any illness that cannot be solved by witch doctors, many people secretly come to Los Angeles to heal. This time the outbreak of infectious diseases was so bad, and even some of the tribe's witch doctors died, everyone was already panicking, so they came to Los Angeles one after another, but they didn't expect to harm them. ”

Bai Nan shook his head, patted the shoulder of the young officer, who was completely unrecognizable as an Indian, and said, "Those dead aborigines are not from the Chumash tribe, and they have nothing to do with you. ”

Su Muri's fists were clenched tightly, and he said: "There are still some people who don't have a bright head, if everyone lives in the town, lives on the farm, and accepts the advanced culture of the Tang Dynasty, how can they be attacked by smallpox and die so many people?" ”

Bai Nan looked at Su Muri, and actually felt a little peculiar. From the standpoint of the Indians, Sumuri is a typical two-legged man. Since he came into contact with the Crossing Public, he accepted the way of life of the Crossing Crowd at an astonishing speed, and became a soldier loyal to the Tang Dynasty.

Sumuri is an extreme type, in contrast to the conservative Indians who reject the culture and way of life of the Tang Dynasty, and he believes that it is the general trend to accept the modern model of the Tang people, and for the good of Chumash and other aboriginal tribes in Jiazhou, everyone should completely abandon the previous tribal way of life of gathering and hunting, and men enter farms, factories and armies, and women enter textile factories or do some small business activities.

In Sumuri's view, living in this country, first of all, no one will die of hunger and cold, and secondly, everyone can enjoy a richer and more fulfilling life, and after learning more knowledge, they will not be ignorant and backward, and now it seems that if they have any serious diseases, they can still be helped.

Speaking of Sumuli, he is like some Chinese in the early 20th century in another time and space, who completely denied their own culture, and even changed the name of the text to Pinyin. However, it turns out that a living and meaningful culture will not simply be extinct, and the Indian way of life is indeed too backward for future development.

Bai Nan did not want to make much of Sumuri's tendencies, and in essence he welcomed more Indians to hold this view, as it would speed up the process of Indian naturalization.

"Sumuri, our current dominance is concentrated in the towns and farm areas, although there are a considerable number of tribes attached to the farm life, but there are also a lot of tribes are still acting on their own, we need to understand the spread of the plague in the tribes of Jiazhou, this needs to know more about the tribe form of the aboriginal people, I hope you can take this responsibility, lead a part of the cavalry, into the tribes. It's bound to be very risky, so you need to wait until the first batch of vaccines leaves the factory and you're vaccinated before you do it. ”

In the past two years, Su Muli has also been vaccinated against many infectious diseases, so he naturally knows that he will not get sick after being vaccinated, and even if he comes into contact with smallpox patients, he will be much safer.

He nodded and said, "Yes, please leave it to me." ”

A few days later, Sumuri and about 60 other Indian cavalrymen were inoculated with cowpox, and after a few days of acclimatization, they successfully developed antibodies and became smallpox immune.

"Brother Sumuri, are we really not going to get sick?" Seventeen-year-old Piglo of Chumash was a cousin of Sumuri whose family had moved to Los Angeles after Uncle Sumuri had become seriously ill. At the suggestion of Sumuri, Piglo joined the Hunter and has been in service for almost a year.

Su Muri glanced at his cousin, who still likes to use Chumash, and he replied in fluent Chinese: "No, if you are vaccinated, you will produce antibodies to the virus, and the virus will not be able to harm you." ”

Piglo patted his scarred arm and said, "It's amazing, better than the witch doctors." ”

Su Muli said: "The witch doctors are all fake, they can't cure the disease, only some herbs are useful, and if you really get sick, you still have to rely on the real doctor." ”

Piglo looked at his cousin's serious look and said, "Oh. ”

Su Muri took his cousin to a corner where no one was around, and said, "I have something to tell you, this matter is very important, you can't tell anyone else, you can't talk about it for the rest of your life, can I trust you, Pigolo?" ”

Pi Geluo patted his chest and said: "The man of Chumash is the most trustworthy, Brother Sumuri, I must be tight-lipped, right, this idiom is used?" ”

Su Muri nodded and said, "Our mission this time is to understand the plague situation of various unnaturalized tribes throughout the territory of Jiazhou. But, I think, this plague is a revelation for all of us. ”

Piglo asked, "What revelation?" ”

Su Muri's eyes flashed: "Ignorance and backwardness will eventually be destroyed by God, and only civilized and advanced things can continue to survive in this complex and difficult world." It is shameful and ridiculous that the Chumash people, no, the indigenous people of the entire Jiazhou and even the entire American continent have been living like this for thousands of years. Now, the people of the Old World have brought dangerous diseases here, and those who are not fit to survive will be eliminated. Then everyone will know that only by accepting the correct civilized life can it continue. ”

Piglo looked at Su Muli with some fear and asked, "Brother Su Muri, I don't understand what you are saying. ”

"I'm saying that this plague is also an opportunity, an opportunity to completely cleanse the old backward and barbaric society. In the land of Datang, there is no need for these guys who are no different from animals, the plague will take them away, and the people who will remain in the end will become real Datang nationals because of fear and change of concept. I don't know exactly what the plague is now, but if this plague is not enough to destroy the rotten tribes, then let's use the plague to do all this. ”

Piglo was shocked: "Brother, do you want to exterminate all the natives with the plague?" But can it be done? ”

Su Muri shook his head and said, "It's evolution, it's the evolution of the survival of the fittest. We already have antibodies, we can't get sick, and smallpox is contagious when it comes into contact with something, and we can still be in those tribes where the contaminated things are, and it won't be long before we go again, and there will be a lot of deaths, and the people who survive, we can take them back to the towns, to the farms. The plague will destroy the natural forms of existence of the various tribes, and people without tribal restraint will be more receptive to the new way of life......"

Piglo looks at his cousin and realizes that the powerful hero he admires has such a dark side. (To be continued.) )
