Chapter 74: Ancient Field Hospital

After settling the soldiers who died in battle, Yang Xuan paid more attention to those soldiers who were wounded on the battlefield. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since last year, Yang Xuan has established a special medical institution in the army, and Huang Xuemao, a famous doctor in the township, has been appointed as a medical officer to save the dead and protect the wounded.

Due to the encouragement of minor injuries not to get out of the line of fire and to avoid non-combat attrition, some lightly wounded, some of whom were scratched or scratched on the battlefield, or who were wounded by blades or lead bullets but did not hurt their muscles and bones, mostly participated in the battle with their units and were bandaged and cared for by the brigade to which they belonged.

The rest of the seriously wounded and wounded who could not take part in the battle included more than 30 officers and soldiers and more than 10 civilian soldiers.

After the end of the war, Huang Xuemao temporarily requisitioned the sound temple outside the city as a field hospital, where he was saving the dead and caring for the wounded.

Before he arrived at the Guanyin Temple, he heard a wail from a distance, Yang Xuan was shocked in his heart, and quickly entered the Guanyin Temple, and saw that several small tents had been set up around the temple, and there were people everywhere in the room.

As Chen Huaixi introduced, there were only four Langzhong in the army, plus more than a dozen Langzhong from the local government, so a temporary field hospital was formed.

In Daming, each county medical office, selected a person as a medical officer, to be responsible for the treatment of personnel and animals, the war is in full swing, there are many wounded, so all the doctors in the city and more than 20 miles of doctors are all recruited, so there are more than a dozen Langzhong.

Seeing Yang Xuan's face pale, Huang Xuemao curled the beads of sweat on his face and said, "My lord, the brothers of the official army and the brothers of the people's army have all been healed.

But my lord, this time the local rioters suffered a lot of casualties, more than six or seven hundred people were slightly injured, and more than 100 people were seriously injured. ”

Yang Xuan frowned, feeling incredible, due to the poor medical level in this era, there is no concept of military medicine at all, some of them were hit hard in the head, some of them were disemboweled, or some of them lost a lot of blood and were directly judged to die, and there was no one who was sent for treatment, most of the people sent over were broken hands and feet, or pierced by arrows and crossbows, birds, and guns, so everyone was sent to the field hospital for treatment after the war.

After several months of experiments, several sets of standard treatment methods have been formed, such as the use of folk bone grafting methods for broken hands and feet, and then wrapping with clamping sticks.

If the legs and feet are cut off, or they are injured by arrows and crossbows, the main thing is to stop bleeding and disinfect, and then bandage.

If you are injured by lead bullets, you first suck out the pus and blood (lead is poisonous), then sprinkle salt on the wound to disinfect it, and finally bandage it.

……

These are common knowledge in previous lives, and Huang Xuemao and others are Chinese medicine masters, and everyone basically has a consensus on treatment methods, how can they save lives and help the injured so slowly?

But in the middle, the most urgent is anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving, under the current level of medicine, Yang Xuan could not invent penicillin such anti-inflammatory drugs, forced to have no choice, only let everyone study the traditional anti-inflammatory soil method, such as using salt water to reduce inflammation, or use fire to reduce inflammation, or something else.

Relieve pain? Opium should have been introduced to China, of course, Yang Xuan will not, and he is not willing to let everyone smoke opium, but Chinese medicine has long used opium for anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving, and now that wars are so frequent, we should consider how to make good use of opium.

Standing in the distance, Yang Xuan saw that a Lang Zhong next to him was treating a wounded, and from a distance, although this white-haired Lang Zhong was working very hard, there was blood everywhere on the sickbed, this Lang Zhong was probably frightened, his face was white, and he was trying his best.

Seeing that Yang Xuan's face was slightly soothed, Huang Xuemao shook his head and said: "My lord, although more than ten Lang Zhong have been recruited this time, when have you seen such a bloody scene, although they have excellent medical skills, it is difficult to save the dead and protect the wounded." ”

Yang Xuan thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Oh, Doctor Huang, these are troubled times, and wars will inevitably be very frequent in the future.

I want to set up a field hospital, what do you think? ”

Huang Xuemao stared at Yang Xuan and said with a smile: "My lord, what are you talking about the field hospital?" ”

Smiling awkwardly, Yang Xuan patted Huang Xuemao on the shoulder and explained the main role of the field hospital.

When he heard that the field hospital was mainly used to prevent epidemics and plagues in the army in peacetime, and to save the dead and protect the wounded in wartime, Huang Xuemao nodded again and again: "My lord, you said this, there should have been in the past, but it is not the field hospital that the adults said, I don't know." ”

Yang Xuan was embarrassed to listen to Huang Xuemao talk about the development of the ancient field hospital.

Lu Wang's "Liutao" once mentioned that there were "three Fang Shi in the army, who set up a hundred medicines to cure gold sores and cure all diseases." "It seems that at the beginning of the week the medicine in the army was presided over by the alchemist.?

In the book "Mozi", it is said: "Witch doctors have the strength of people, and they have the ,...... of medicine officials and those who have the skills to do it. ”

The "General Dictionary" once quoted Li Jing's art of war in the Tang Dynasty: in the army, each battalion has a "school inspection officer" to inspect the condition of the wounded and sick every day, as well as the diet and daily life, so as to arrange medical treatment and evacuation.

"Song Hui Yao Manuscript" contains: "On June 14 of the first year of Qinzong Jingkang, General Zhao of Zhicizhou said: The army in the division was defeated, there were wounded people, and there were many tired roads. The minister has been recruited according to the appropriate measures. The right to set up a medical hospital, the management of medical treatment, such as a state of more than 200 doctors. Don't worry about Beiluzhou County, there are still a lot of them. The begging states will each of the seriously injured give each of them a silk horse, and the money is consistent; Half of the slightly injured person. And it is to save money and materials, and still entrust the ministers to be officials. According to the command that has been lowered, the edict will be sent to the scattered people and sent to the top to help Taiyuan, and there are people who are injured and cannot be driven, and ordered to be treated in each state. As soon as the peace healed, they sent out in a team one by one, and from there. ”

It seems that an organization similar to a military station hospital did not appear until the 13th century in the history of our country. Before the 13th century, there was no institution to receive and recuperate sick soldiers on their way home.

In the fifteenth year of Yuan Shizu (1278), it was stipulated: "If there is a sick soldier before the army, he should order the master medical worker to see and treat the medicine, and each Yi chooses a good person to serve. Look at the healing army, will recuperate, Fang Xu took turns as an errand envoy, one by one, and opened the book. If the number of sick and dead soldiers is checked during the school examination, the punishment of the sick officer will be determined."

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, built the capital of Nanjing, and built barracks in the gaps around the walls of the newly built palace to house the disabled and wounded soldiers. They had to work during the day and patrol at night, and were fed by the state so that they would not be displaced, similar to the current Les Invalides.

In February of the twenty-third year (1390), he ordered the old and disabled soldiers to return to the guards and set up camps to live.

In September of the seventh year of Xuande (1432), he ordered the old and retired soldiers of the National Guard Station to be adopted in the nursing homes of various prefectures, prefectures, and counties. The Nursing Home was originally a charitable institution set up in various states and counties across the country in the early Ming Dynasty to adopt widows, widows and lonely people, and doctors served as treatments. However, by the time Renzong ascended the throne (1424), the sanatoriums in each county had been depleted, and the meat and cloth were not given on time. Therefore, the life and medical care of the elderly and disabled soldiers are still not guaranteed.

If you don't want to do something, you must do everything possible to slander it, and if you want to do something, you must do everything possible to quote scriptures, our ancestors once did.

Huang Xuemao saw hundreds of seriously injured local rioters outside, and after a day of rescue, the seriously injured officers and soldiers have been rescued, and now they have just rescued the seriously injured local rioters.

This is probably a manifestation of the inequality between people, Yang Xuan really wants to treat everyone equally, but the medical conditions are too simple, and the medical staff is really lacking, so it is impossible for Lang Zhong not to rescue the officers and soldiers first, but to rescue the seriously injured people of the local tyrant.

There were bursts of wailing, and from time to time there were people in the courtyard who died of pain and bleeding because of untimely treatment, probably worried about what to do in the future, and suddenly heard Yang Xuan mention the field hospital, although he didn't understand it, but he still agreed.

But after that, the two sides had a disagreement on the way the field hospital operated, Huang Xuemao wanted to recruit married women as assistants, but Yang Xuan wanted to recruit little girls, which would not only be conducive to the recovery of patients, but also that these little girls could participate in propaganda work and form a beautiful landscape in the army.

In the end, the two each gave in a step, and the proportion of unmarried girls should not be less than 5 percent, and the other conscription of widows in the army, so the field hospital was slow

Slow to build up.
