"For our victory, this plague may come as divine intervention!"
Seeing this kind of slogan-like prayer posted on the wall of the church, Rob, the butler of Downing Abbey, couldn't help but shake his head secretly, although he had been hearing recently that General Mansfield-Lovell relied on "outsider's disease"
Many locals were very confident about taking back New Orleans, but they never expected that even churches would follow suit.
The so-called "outlander's disease" actually refers to yellow fever. This infectious disease was first introduced to the Americas from Africa through the slave trade. In the 18th century, yellow fever was reported in Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Norfolk, and New York.
It was endemic in places such as Haven, Providence and Baltimore. In the 19th century, the disease gradually disappeared from the northern states, and became more and more common in the south. After experiencing many yellow fever epidemics, the southern people
Gradually, it was discovered that the morbidity and mortality rates of outsiders were much higher than those of locals or long-term settlers. The explanation of modern medicine is that people in the south have lived in areas with high incidence of yellow fever for a long time, and many people have been infected with yellow fever and have been infected with yellow fever.
Lifelong immunity is obtained after recovery. However, people in the north have rarely been exposed to yellow fever after the 19th century, so they lack immunity to it.
However, the people in the south did not understand this medical knowledge at that time. They generally believed that this phenomenon was attributed to the fact that outsiders were not accustomed to the local climate. Specifically, outsiders were not adapted to the local climate and naturally found it difficult to withstand the diseases produced under such climatic conditions.
disease, so they called yellow fever "the alien's disease." Therefore, many New Orleans people felt that even if these Yankees occupied New Orleans, they would get sick and die. It is even said that two guys measured for federal soldiers.
Height. When someone asked why, they claimed that it was to make coffins, because once yellow fever broke out and countless people died, coffins became indispensable.
While Rob's mind was full of random thoughts, he suddenly heard several children passing by singing the song "Yellow Jack will catch them and take them all away!" The "Yellow Jack" here refers to Yellow Fever.
Disease, and "they" are naturally those gay Yang guys.
Even ordinary people like Robert could see the "Yellow Fever Conspiracy". How could Benjamin Butler, the Union general stationed in New Orleans at this time, not know about it.
He snorted coldly: "It's just a dream if you want yellow fever to drive me away!" Then he gave orders to his subordinates: First, set up a quarantine station on the river 70 miles south of New Orleans.
Merchant ships must be inspected by health officials. 2. Recruit no less than two thousand scavengers to clean streets, squares and urban open spaces; no one is allowed to throw garbage into streets, alleys or open spaces; every household must maintain their houses
Clean and tidy inside and outside. Third, dredge drainage ditches, sewers and canals, and then use early summer rain or city tap water to carry urban garbage through these waterways to lakes and eventually into the bay.
While the plague war was going on in New Orleans, Tangning was meeting an acquaintance whom he honestly didn't really want to meet, and that was Scarlett.
On this day, he had just come out of Danina's residence. When he was recalling Danina's comment just now, "You are much better than Paul," he was suddenly surprised to see a very familiar person standing next to his carriage.
figure.
"Tony, why don't you want to see me!" Scarlett said to Tangning with great resentment as soon as they met.
In order to prevent passers-by from overhearing the misunderstanding, Tangning invited Scarlett to a nearby cafe and explained: "Ms. Howard, it's not that I don't want to see you, but I don't think it's necessary anymore. Just like before, I
Just like your sister said, let the past pass!"
Scarlett, on the other hand, seemed not to have heard Tangning's words and still asked resentfully: "Tony, you still hate me, right?"
"I did hate you at the time, but I no longer feel that way," Tang Ning replied calmly.
"I did something wrong at the time. I thought things were too simple. I regret it now. Tony, can you give me another chance?" Scarlett said with tears, and even reached out to reach for it.
Hold Tangning's hand.
But Tangning hid for a moment, then shook her head and replied, "You must also know that I am married now, and Heidi and I live happily!"
Unexpectedly, Scarlett sneered: "Happiness? If you are happy, why are you looking for a lover outside?"
"Everyone has their own lifestyle. Heidi can accept my lifestyle, so we are very happy together! And since you can't accept it, then we can only be friends!" After saying that, Tangning stood up and left.
, because he felt that saying this was enough.
Seeing that Tangning was about to leave, Scarlett quickly stopped her and said, "Tony, what if I said I can accept it now?"
"That's too late!" Tangning replied without looking back.
"Then what if I say that I can accept being your lover like Mrs. Murphy or that Danina just now?" Scarlett said again.
After hearing this, Tangning paused for a moment, and then asked in confusion: "Scarlett, why have you changed so much in the past few years?"
Scarlett smiled bitterly and said: "People always have to grow up and change. What's more, I don't even have a home now, and I have no money, and Tony, you are the only person I can find who can have a good relationship."
Someone who can help me!"
"Your home is gone? Didn't you come to London with your parents and family?" Tangning asked curiously.
"The home I'm talking about is Atlanta. Don't you know that Atlanta was burned down by that damn Sherman?" Scarlett said bitterly.
Tangning thought to herself, of course I know, and I was the one who wrote many of the rumors and smear articles. So she asked again, "Aren't your sister and brother-in-law very rich?"
Scarlett snorted coldly and said: "If my brother-in-law was rich, could he marry a sister he has never met? And this time we came to London in a hurry and didn't bring much money, so this brother-in-law doesn't have much money now.
Just look down on us!"
Tangning thought to herself that this was quite logical, and then asked, "Then how do you want me to help you?"
"Lend me money!" Scarlett replied word for word.
"How much do you want to borrow?" Tangning asked.
Scarlett raised a finger and replied: "Lend me a thousand pounds first!"
PS: I have a lot of work today. There are people coming and going in the office all the time. I really don’t have time to type, so the update is a little late. Please forgive me. When I have more free time on the weekend, I will try to write as much as possible as a manuscript.
