Chapter 791 Plague
"Salute to the left!"
"Pious!"
Arranged into small square formations, the neat steps vibrated the eardrums of the representatives and the nobles present.
Horn waved his hands at the soldiers enthusiastically.
Not far from the Victory Black Champion Array, the new army Nonn, covered in red and pink pigment, sat down dejectedly.
They looked at the highly motivated black champions and fell into silence for a few moments.
In the stands, no matter they were aristocrats or ordinary citizens, they were whispering.
Especially those who came from nobles, their faces were even more blushing and surprisingly ugly.
The terrifying plasma bomb yesterday left a deep impression on them.
At least they can still escape the magic tricks, but today's real battle has smashed many people's fantasies.
For some time, Horn has been interviewing nobles and public opinion representatives from North, Mund and South Mund.
With the establishment of the Thousand River Valley Monarchy, civilian forces began to rise up on the "New Church", that is, the Father's Church.
These representatives of public opinion are elites, masters or representatives of local civilians from all walks of life.
If there are some things they don’t agree with, they can make trouble.
In the past, the nobles considered themselves to be extraordinary, so naturally they didn't have to care about their opinions.
If you dare to make trouble, just hang yourself or kill him with decent or make things difficult for you.
However, this scheme would not work today. I received the protection of the Father's Church. Even if these public opinion representatives make trouble, they would not be able to really attack them.
The representatives of the public opinion did not completely turn to the Father's worship, but sometimes they approached the Father's worship, and sometimes they approached the nobles.
In the local area, the triangular balance structure of the three-level council of nobles, monks and civilians appeared faintly.
However, this triangle balance has been broken recently. Meliati was defeated in the gravel field, and the massacre and invasion of the Lea people...
These incident news and investigation reports have entered the ears of a large number of civilians through the Baihu District Bulletin, various newspapers and secret propaganda of the Kika.
So far, there has been no qualitative change, but subtle changes have already happened.
Horn has held a banquet again these days, and asked them to visit the test fire of new weapons, and also asked them to visit the military parade to boost the fire.
Some words from Cheka or the local monk said that the effect is definitely not as good as Horn.
After all, there is not much time left.
Looking at the Non recruits who were shouted by the instructor on the field and ran into the circle, Horn tightened the railing.
…………
After this battle, the Non's recruits became much more honest.
New officers transferred from the Sundange War Academy entered the officer regiment of the Non New Army.
The newly formed officer group is actually insufficient, so many veterans or veteran captains have been promoted to serve as soldiers and officers.
After all, they are all fellow townsmen and communication is free of barriers. The new army's officers need the help of these people.
After two weeks of training, these Non's recruits completed successfully.
On the other hand, the training progress of the new army formed by the Qianhe Valley mountain villagers was lagging behind, at least one month.
Horn first let Norn's new army move to the city of Rapids so that he can deal with the war on the front line at any time.
Speaking of Xia Greentown on the front line, Lea's army entered a state of siege but not attacking after December.
Winter is here, and the soldiers and knights who have fought for nearly two years really need rest.
The last month of Thousand River Valley 1448 was spent in such a strange calm.
The front line is fighting, and the New Oriental Festival in 1449 is not good to celebrate.
Many cities in the Thousand River Valley have launched thrifty activities under the proposal of communiqués and newspapers. Let residents try their best to eat, drink and celebrate at home, rather than gathering together to start large-scale banquets and drinks.
The original celebration parade has become a free drama that praises the soldiers on the front line and portrays the ugly faces of the Lea royal family.
On the night of December 31, 1448, Fort Joan of Arc.
After dinner with Jeanne and Catherine, Horn just returned to the study and saw an uninvited guest.
"Why are you better?" Holding up the fluorescent lamp, Horn looked at the big face with a rough and hard beard, "When did it come?"
"Just now." Mo Ruo spoke in a muffled voice, "It was Mr. Rafell who asked me to come, he couldn't pull himself away."
Horn was still drunk because he had drunk some beer rarely. He smiled and pushed open the door of the study: "What's the matter? Rafell just sends someone to say, what are you doing? By the way, happy New Year!"
Mo Ruo followed Horn with a stern face and replied indifferently: "Happy New Year's Day, Your Highness."
Sitting on the sofa, Mo Ruo's first words made Horn's drunkenness melt like ice and snow.
"There is a plague in Xia Lucheng."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Horn poured the hot tea onto the back of his hand.
Before he could wipe the tea soup, he rushed to Mo Ruo in front of him: "What kind of plague?"
"There are certain types of war fever (typhus) and cholera, and there are still some that are not certain, at least four or five."
War fever is the proliferation of body lice in thick winter clothes, thus spreading the virus. When Napoleon's army expeditioned to Russia, it lost a lot of personnel due to war fever.
Cholera is caused by drinking sewage, mainly because the water source is closed or the sewage cannot be discharged, which causes bacteria and viruses to grow.
The war fever is understandable, how did this cholera emerge?
The only municipal renovation of Meliati in Xia Greentown was to revise and build the old sewage pipeline.
The surrounding waterways are even more firmly controlled, so how can there be a plague?
"What the hell is going on?"
"I'm wondering too." Mo Ruo was also confused, "and he threw in some dead animals. Why did such a large-scale plague break out?"
In order to prevent the outbreak of plague in the city, Meliati forced the bodies of the dead to burn into ashes.
The blocks inside the city and outside the city are sprinkled with deworming agents, and all patients with epidemics or infectious diseases will be locked up in leprosy monasteries.
The epidemic situation in the city has always been very good.
Half a month ago, the Leya army outside the city suddenly lost some crows, cattle and sheep that died of illness.
An epidemic prevention team composed of witch doctors and doctors in the city immediately buried and burned the plague corpses.
No one cared about these cattle and sheep, and in the end there were more than a dozen cases in the city within three days.
By the time Moruo set out three days ago, the number of people with various epidemics in the city reached 700 to 800, and it was still increasing at a speed that Moliati could not control.
Among them, there was a new epidemic that was difficult for even doctors to recognize, and it was directly named "Summer and Green Fever".
In the past, that would be fine.
But now it's war, and everyone is trapped in the city...
"We also learned the latest news from the capture of the Knight Lea." Mo Ruo's expression was melancholy hidden, "The Osla family began to assemble troops a few years ago."
"Did you come to Qianhe Valley?"
"Yes."
Instead of continuing to ask questions, Horn slowly walked to the tea table and poured each of them a cup of tea.
Pushing the steaming black tea in front of Mo Ruo, Horn's voice seemed to smile bitterly, as if relieved:
"Two battle groups will set off soon."
