Chapter 56: Worry
Li Shimin, who is on the other side of Jiucheng Palace, is finally going to make a move on Gao Changguo!
Seeing this letter, Li Yuanjia did not feel uneasy, because he knew very well that the reason why the news could be transmitted back to Chang'an through Huang Yuan's mouth must have been tacitly approved.
All he could feel now was excitement.
War is finally coming!
As a future person who has never experienced war, it would be a bit nonsense to say that Li Yuanjia longs for war and looks forward to war, after all, he has also watched movies such as Saving the Soldier and Assembly Number, and has watched countless movies and TV series of various anti-Japanese wars and civil wars from childhood to adulthood, and he still understands the cruelty of war very well.
But......
To put it bluntly, after all, it's just images and words.
Li Yuanjia has never experienced the real war, and naturally he has no personal experience. So to say how much you know the cruelty of war, and how much you are afraid of the horror of war, it is nonsense - anyway, no matter what time it is, it will not be his turn to fight as the prince of the Tang Dynasty. Even if there is a slight possibility of going to war one day in the future, it is more of a role such as a commander or a supervisor.
So at least for him now, he actually longs for war to break out.
The reason is naturally very simple, it is for Huang Yuan and Ma Zhong.
Although they made a big splash when the rebellion was quelled a few months ago, the two of them actually did something that Li Yuanjia himself did not dare to guarantee, so that all the injured sergeants survived, but whether Cheng Zhijie or Li Shimin knew very well that the luck in this was too great!
Because even Li Yuanjia himself said so.
In addition, even if they don't make a move, there will be no shortage of miracles in this world, so how big the real effect of debridement and suture is, then the sample size is not too convincing.
To put it bluntly, he needs this war!
He's going to use a war...... Or the injuries and illnesses that appeared in this war, the thousands of wounded and sick, opened the door to debridement and suture from the future!
Dozens of examples of injuries are not convincing enough, so what about hundreds, thousands?
When Huang Yuan and Ma Ren saved hundreds or even thousands of lives, even if Li Shimin and them didn't care, could the soldiers who were charging down below not care? Not to mention that those people are all battlefield veterans who have led soldiers for decades, can they not understand the significance of the emergence of this technology?
Fewer deaths and fewer pensions are only one aspect, but isn't it important to leave more soldiers? You must know that soldiers who have been on the battlefield and those who have not been on the battlefield are two different things!
So for this war, Li Yuanjia has really been looking forward to it for a long time.
For this reason, he not only instructed Huang Yuan and Ma Ren to train newcomers from Cheng Zhijie, but he has not been idle in the past few months, training surgeons, and making people brew alcohol and make sterile bags and all kinds of gauze......
When he thought of this, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but take a deep breath, and a smile called smug appeared on his face: "This method is much easier than Liszt in the future!" ”
In the 19th century, the originator of modern surgical aseptics, the British surgeon Liszt, had a difficult life.
The Englishman studied Pasteur, and after learning about the other's bacterial theory, he opened a new era of modern surgical techniques...... It can be said that one of the most important of the four foundational techniques of modern surgery is aseptic technique.
It was a time when phlebotomy was all the rage and brandy therapy had countless adherents.
The ridicule of his peers, the siege of the nuns, and the incomprehension of the general public all made it difficult for Lista to move forward in the early days of promotion. Although it is much stronger than Semmelweis, who was sent to an insane asylum and finally died there, the process is so difficult that future generations can't bear to recall it.
Fortunately, there has never been a shortage of pioneers in the medical field, and it took decades for aseptic surgery to finally be recognized when masks, hats and special surgical gowns appeared on doctors!
But there is no doubt that it was the First World War that finally made the final word!
War is the best technological catalyst, even if it is medicine, which is diametrically opposed to it. The First World War completely established the status of aseptic surgery, and the emergence of bacteriological theories at the end of the 19th century completely dominated the era......
How many wounded soldiers to treat is not so important in Li Yuanjia's heart.
What he values most is just the germ of bacteriological theory!
Yes, as long as Huang Yuan and Ma Ren rescued a sufficient number of wounded soldiers in Gaochang Kingdom...... No, it should be said that as long as they can make the number of wounded soldiers die much less than in any previous war, then Li Yuanjia will have enough confidence to expand their scale and throw out his own bacteriological theory!
Just like the ancient masters of Chinese medicine who created the five elements of yin and yang, the traditional humoral theory of the West, there is nothing wrong with summing up the theory from experience!
And......
Compared with them, Li Yuanjia still has his own big killer!
The glass has been made, and the quality is constantly improving, Li Yuanjia doesn't believe that he can't build a working microscope in a few years or more than ten years? In the future, as long as he persists and spends dozens or hundreds of years, he may be able to cultivate a large number of loyal believers in the germ theory......
"And...... Maybe it won't take that long! ”
Thinking about it, Li Yuanjia's eyes narrowed slightly: "Whether it is Pasteur, Koch, or Liszt, although they are all famous and have a high status in the later period, they are definitely incomparable with me...... Tsk, with the blessing of the identity of the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, it must be easier to promote than them...... It should be, right? ”
Thinking about it, the smile on the corner of Li Yuanjia's mouth suddenly retracted.
it!
He suddenly remembered that the so-called idea of being easier was not good enough to say that it was his own wishful thinking! Think of mathematics and Arabic numerals, think of Songti, and think of movable type printing that could change the history of human civilization......
So after his face darkened, Li Yuanjia could only comfort himself: "Ahem, after all, this involves human life, and if nothing else, the effect will be very significant, it should be different......
……
Just when Li Yuanjia had been worried about this and that, in Jiucheng Palace, which was not too far from Chang'an, Huang Yuan and Ma Ren were also worried.
"You say...... Will we go into battle and kill the enemy? ”
After being stunned for a while, Huang Yuan asked the same question for the fourth time today.
"Humph!"
Really too lazy to take care of this guy, Ma Ren frowned, and snorted coldly: "Huang Yuan, can you stop dabbling on a question?" How many times have we told you that we are here to save people, not to kill people...... If you don't dare to go, just say no to Lu Guogong? Didn't he say that he wouldn't force us to go if we didn't want to? ”
"But ......"
"Okay, no, but!"
Ma Ren was really a little annoyed, and without waiting for Huang Yuan to finish speaking, he waved his hand and said: "I want to make meritorious contributions, and I don't want to take any risks, how can there be such a good thing in this world?" And don't forget, the king has a word, and if you don't go, you won't have your share in the reward......"
