Chapter 859： Malaria and Far East Intelligence

Late August 1856.

The "Colonial Safety and Health Regulations" was officially implemented with the cooperation of local forces in Libreville.

On the first day that the ordinance was implemented, almost every street in Libreville was posted with the specific content of the ordinance, which attracted residents living in Libreville to stop and watch.

After reading the specific content, many residents began to complain in a low voice about Jerome Patterson, governor of Gabon, believing that Jerome Patterson was controlling their freedom in disguise.

A small number of residents also have the idea of ​​leaving Libreville and going elsewhere.

A week after the ordinance went into effect, more than 200 Libreville residents left Libreville for other places.

The chief in charge of Libreville's permanent population statistics immediately informed Jerome Patterson of the news, and Jerome Patterson just said calmly, "Let them go!"

With more than 200 people as the vanguard, more and more people began to march towards other strongholds.

By the end of August, nearly 1,000 Libreville stations had already moved to other locations.

This number is obviously unbearable for Libreville, which has a resident population of only about 15,000 people.

Libreville's resident census chief, came to Jerome Paterson again, gritted his teeth and said to Jerome Paterson, "Your Excellency Governor, I think there is a big problem with your policy. !"

Jerome Patterson folded his hands together, and said slyly, "Mr. Director, do you have any suggestions?"

"Your Excellency, more than 1,000 people have left Libreville to go further inland! If this continues, more and more people will go to other strongholds! Libreville's economy will be in a downturn!" Long to Jerome Paterson Road.

"So what?" Jerome Patterson raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I propose to immediately order the cancellation of the Colony Safety and Health Management Regulations!" The Director said sincerely to Jerome Patterson, "Only in this way can we truly retain those people!"

"Sir, why should I keep a group of people who don't love Libreville!" Jerome Patterson asked back, "I remember I told you long ago that those who should stay are destined to stay, Those who can't stay are destined to not stay!

I just gave them a little break from personal hygiene and they left Libreville!

Don't leave such a person! "

"However, Libreville needs population now!" The Director of Statistics said to Jerome Patterson. "If there is not enough population, our plantation will probably be in a situation where no one is available."

"Who said no one is available!" Jerome Patterson said to the head of the statistics office again: "Our soldiers stationed outside Libreville are not just labor, they can make up for those who left!"

"Aren't they the Foreign Legion?" said the Director of Statistics, looking at Jerome Paterson with a surprised expression.

"That's right! They are indeed the foreign corps!" Jerome Patterson nodded and admitted, "However, the identity of their foreign corps is different from that of ordinary foreign corps!

They come through labor dispatch, so you can treat them as workers too! "

"If that's the case, then I have no opinion!" The Director of Statistics replied to Jerome Patterson.

"Don't worry! Those people will come back!" Jerome Patterson then said to the head of the statistics office, "The environment in other strongholds is far inferior to ours!

Besides, now is the time of high incidence of malaria and cholera!

Guess it will suddenly appear! "

…

In fact, as expected by Jerome Paterson, after entering September, the temperature of the entire west coast of central Africa is higher than that in August, and the number of mosquitoes at night is gradually increasing.

And those female mosquitoes carrying the single-celled Plasmodium in their bodies also appeared. The residents of the surrounding strongholds in Libreville did not pay attention to them at first, but they were soon found by mosquitoes carrying Plasmodium. The body's malaria parasite is injected into the human body.

The malaria parasite that enters the human body through the blood begins to destroy the human body recklessly.

Soon, the first person to die of malaria appeared on September 3, and the residents living next to him fled the stronghold and returned to Libreville.

As the governor, Jerome Paterson heard the news of the death of malaria in the surrounding strongholds, and quickly dispatched the army to spread the sulphur purchased from the French mainland around the entire city.

At the same time, the residents living in Libreville once again remembered the "Colonial Safety and Health Regulations" half a month ago, and they read the regulations completely in a panic.

When they saw that malaria was transmitted by mosquitoes, residents began to buy mosquito-proof tents, mosquito coils, and quinine.

Of course, mosquito coils and quinine in this period could not be mass-produced in batches, so mosquito coils and quinine belonged to wealthy people.

Mosquito nets have naturally become a fast-selling item, and many residents even bought two or three mosquito coils by themselves.

And they do this just to make themselves feel better.

As time passed, various bad news continued to come from the surrounding strongholds.

In addition to malaria, the deadly disease, cholera followed.

The cholera outbreak occurred in a stronghold nearly 20 kilometers away from Libreville, when Dean Oster and his doctors and nurses arrived.

In a stronghold of 100 people, nearly 30% of the people got cholera.

Dean Oster asked when the patients got cholera and what they ate/drinked!

The unanimous responses of the patients indicated that they all drank raw water.

After the questioning, Dean Oster, adhering to the spirit of saving lives and helping the wounded, ordered his subordinates to make simple stretchers by themselves. Patients with cholera were sent to the hospital.

When the residents of Libreville saw batches of patients being carried to Libreville for treatment from outside, they were only grateful to Jerome Patterson.

It is because of Jerome Patterson's unremitting efforts that Libreville is not known as an outbreak point of malaria and cholera.

But even so, Jerome Paterson still did not relax, he began to announce to the residents of Libreville that Libreville entered a state of emergency.

Overnight, many soldiers were stationed in Libreville, this time every street was guarded.

Under the strict guard of Jerome Patterson, Libreville's death toll was only in the single digits.

In mid to late September, as the temperature gradually drops.

Malaria and cholera also gradually went downhill, and Jerome Patterson began to order the lifting of the state of emergency and restore everything to its original state.

After hearing that Jerome Paterson lifted the state of emergency, the residents who had been bet on malaria and cholera hurriedly approached Jerome Paterson and begged him not to lift it for the time being.

The request of the residents of Libreville was immediately rejected by Jerome Patterson.

The Governor's Palace has also begun to count the number of deaths in Libreville and surrounding strongholds,

After several days of statistics, it was found that in this month, the total number of deaths in Libreville and its surrounding strongholds was 120, and most of the deaths were in the surrounding strongholds. The deaths in the city of Libreville There were only 15 people.

When Jerome Patterson announced the death toll, the entire Libreville was in an uproar.

Libreville's death toll can be said to be the lowest in recent years. Last year, Libreville's death rate was still around 3% (here refers to people living in urban areas and surrounding strongholds and thoroughly inland), and now Only lost less than 1% of people.

Such a level is already comparable to the disease mortality rate in Paris, and where is Paris and where is Libreville!

The gap between the two sides in the medical system is simply incomparable.

It is enough to make him feel proud that Jerome Patterson has achieved such achievements.

Therefore, Jerome Paterson, at the suggestion of Rastigne, once again summarized the "Colonial Safety and Health Regulations" and ordered them to be sent to Paris.

The Steam Clipper departed from Libreville all the way north to the entrance of the Mediterranean, then east into the Mediterranean, and arrived at the side note in early October.

At this time, Jerome Bonaparte was reviewing the Far East documents submitted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. UU Reading

Although everything in the document happened four months ago, it is still very valuable information for Jerome Bonaparte.

[PS: It takes half a year for information from the Far East to reach France at the slowest, and 3 to 4 months at the fastest. 】

The document roughly says: The peasant insurgents of the Eastern Empire, with the help of French rifles (gold on their faces), defeated the Tatar army several times in a row.

And those Tatar troops who were also equipped with French equipment were not their opponents at all. Those peasant rebels only needed a face-to-face to take them down.

It's just that those people are always reluctant to recognize the treaty signed by the Tatar government, and the Tatar government is very active in recognizing the treaty.

Therefore, the counselor in Nanjing suggested to immediately abandon the Nanjing government and support the Tatar government.

Only in this way can France be able to preserve its interests in the Far East.

Moreover, the political structure of the Nanjing government is not stable. There are many conflicts between their prime minister (East King) and their king (Tianwang). Their prime minister wants to replace the king. Therefore, the embassy in Beijing concluded that the relationship between the prime minister and the king There is bound to be a conflict.

As for who wins and who loses is not necessarily.

However, they can be sure that if either side loses, it will bring great danger to the entire regime, because one of them is in charge of this secular power, and the other is the spiritual leader of the entire team. Without either one, the Nanjing government will fall into crisis. , gradually heading towards extinction.
