503 Advances in Medicine
The main purpose of a federal republic was to increase the attractiveness of the Republican Army. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, warlords fought in a scuffle. If you want to be unified, you must have good political appeal. Politics well done. Everything else is naturally much simpler.
Shang Wu is Chinese, so he naturally has a lot of research on history. However, many of the research results cannot be said for the military.
Even Japan has such research, and many people claim to be Chinese experts. But they did get to the point.
Like what. political unity, as well as a lot of political capital. For example, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs. Even in the case of warlord scuffle, although the Manchu government did a lot of things wrong, there were many places where they did have so much political capital. They divided a large number of kings with different surnames. Speed up the melee between warlords. In turn, the pace of unification has been accelerated. Such political capital can still be lowered.
And the martial federal republic, in fact, is the same, making them legislators or governors who don't have much real power. They only have the right to develop the economy. But there are no military rights, and on the ground they have their own freedom. In this way, their binding force is much less. Such benefits naturally lead to greater development. This situation. This has never been the case.
A federal republic is actually about attracting more warlords to annex them through peaceful evolution. The advantage of such an approach is that it has greater political appeal.
This is also one of the important reasons why Jia Xu agreed. If you don't have this kind of political appeal, many things will become extremely unfavorable.
Of course. These alone are not enough, they also need to increase their strength. And the most important strength is to develop economic strength. And economic power includes many, many.
In the area north of the Lijiazhuang Operations Department, there is a large open space. Originally, it was a temporary playground for a military school. But now, it has become a medical school.
The 4th Field Hospital was relocated. A place for medical treatment was set up here, and at first a large number of bungalows. There are pharmacies, clinics. Ward. There are also dormitories. Further north of the location, there are more small courtyards. That's the most central area. Medical. Classrooms, libraries. And the labs are all there. Some military doctors, rural langzhong, have gathered here to serve as professors. They either teach students, do research, or write books.
Zhang Zhongjing likes it very much because they still have a lot of research results.
The use of drug granule technology. There is also the use of capsules. So that they have developed a lot of convenient drugs, Xiao Chai Hu granules, and the invention of the cold warming granules is actually the early Banlan root granules. In the era of plague and cold fever, such medicine can prevent the large-scale spread of the plague on a large scale. in the northwest corner. There are two pharmaceutical production workshops. There is a nervous effort to produce these drugs.
Except that part of it was supplied to the military. A considerable part of it can be put on the civilian market. They also produce a lot of medicines. Saline, a cheap cleansing potion that can be sold on a large scale. And then there's the alcohol. Only a small part of it goes to the private market, because in Handan, some unscrupulous traders have discovered the existence of alcohol, and they usually buy it in large quantities, even after the restrictions, they still buy it, and then mix it according to a certain proportion. Sell out. This is probably the earliest sale of counterfeit wine. The profits they make are quite large.
That's exactly what happened. The sale of alcohol is extremely strict. Most of them are still for the military.
In Luzhou. There are already two wineries that exist. They expressed their willingness to produce such alcohol. It won't be long before they hit the market. But how good the impact was. And what is the result? None of them know it yet. This requires large-scale production in the market to meet such a situation.
And then there's the particulate medicine. There are as many as 25 kinds of cold medicines. Most of them are packed in grease packets. If you need to use it, you can drink it with a flush.
Then there is the drug in the capsule, the capsule technology is not mature enough, mainly because the relevant equipment is not good enough, especially the drug ingredient refining technology is not in place. The capsules are larger than dates, and such capsules cannot be swallowed at all, because they can easily get stuck in the throat and make people feel very uncomfortable. Capsules can also be made smaller. But here's the thing. If it is too small, the effect of the medicine will not be exerted. Although it has been suggested that it can be raised by quantity. But capsules are still more difficult to manufacture. Therefore, the payment is still so big for the time being. This is where everyone is helpless.
Zhang Zhongjing is also leading some rural langs. Learning from each other, communicating, they did a lot of experiments to make such comparisons. They hope to be able to develop more of these drugs. In this case, it is a great merit to control the plague.
compared to the development of pharmaceuticals. Shang Wu is concerned about the trauma department. In particular, the development of surgery. As the war progressed, especially the upgrading of weapons. In the future, the mass use of muskets, artillery, will inevitably allow surgery to keep up.
Surgery is relatively unpopular in comparison. Most of the participants are military doctors, who have accumulated more experience in this area.
For example, large-scale trauma. Amputation is required. If the bleeding is stopped, how to ensure the safety of the soldiers to the greatest extent. It's trauma. At the same time, they are also improving while they are healing some enemies.
Because their wounds came from muskets, artillery. They need to go deep into it, take out the bullets. The probability of success is very low. Most of them are fatal. Although there are many failures, it also adds a lot of experience to the military doctors.
However, the ancients were still very disgusted with corpses and such treatment methods. Although there is already such a need for large-scale firearms operations, there is still a great deal of awe for such research to be conducted.
There has been progress in surgery, but it has not been very large. Because of such surgical treatment, the mortality rate is still high. Blood transfusion. and all kinds of trauma treatment, which are very difficult. Anesthesia is also a problem. On the battlefield, there is simply no way to provide large quantities of alcohol to put soldiers in a state of anesthesia. Your own people may also be infused with alcohol. The efficiency is a bit slower. There are also those who beat the sticks. But the enemy is mostly conscious. This is no less than vivisection.
Bloody lesson. Yes, the surgical tension is extremely slow. They also need a soul character, at least the other party's courage must be very big. Otherwise, many things will not be able to proceed. War sometimes, that's it. Perhaps a larger-scale war will give such an opportunity to develop. But there is still a wait, and this is a situation that everyone has to face.
However, the establishment of medical schools has brought greater benefits. That is, whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or surgery, they will enter a state of formal development. Doctoring will become a very formal profession. Their formal popularization will lead to the rapid development of medical care in the whole society. Such rapid development will provide greater help.
Various localities are also actively developing their own medical and health undertakings.
For example, in the early days, the field hospitals of the Republican Army would provide free medical help on the ground, but only if there was a temporary peace, and they would deal with some wind chills. Wounds, poisonous insect bites come up with such things. Once the war is in place, they will be very busy, and it will be difficult for people to get medical care.
After all, the main function of a field hospital is to deal with the wounds of war. Their appearance can only meet the needs of people in need of medical treatment, and in the long run, they still cannot do so.
As the situation stabilized, some local governors needed greater support, for example, they needed to get the local people's electoral support, and the IRA began to issue medical certificates on a large scale, that is, they would be treated like this in the previous countryside. And the issuance of such a license is just the beginning. Some of the well-known local countrymen will receive a certain amount of funding from the Republican Army. The money may not be much, but it's an attitude. It shows that the IRA cares deeply about such an issue.
At the same time, at the stations of various units, medical personnel also began to send some personnel to carry out such medical assistance, with the establishment of medical schools. Some students can also enter the study room, and they will also invite local Langzhong to become a professor at the local medical school, and the official can give more respect, and the salary is not very much. But this is supported by a lot of rural lang.
Even though everyone is not doing much, everyone is doing this kind of thing, and in this way, there will be greater improvements. That's a huge step forward. All healers see this. For such a point as the Republican Army. They have a great affection. Such a good feeling is a kind of support.
However, the IRA still does not do enough, for example, there are very many classifications of medicine, and the IRA has not yet achieved such many classifications. Surgery, Respiratory Medicine. Orthopedics, pediatrics, gynecology and many more. These overly specialized classifications have not yet emerged. But many people believe that as their research and demand for these aspects increases, they will inevitably make such a series of classifications, which will allow them to develop even more.
This is a kind of progress, the progress of society, and the progress of medicine means that a stable environment is beginning to emerge. Previous experience comes into play. Digestion.
