Chapter 235: Silver Sterilization?

Due to the fact that there were too many negative reorganizations ****** the army in his previous life and the rumors of dissidents, this time Yang Xuan painstakingly designed this set of flexible military reorganization strategies, hoping to unify the military and government of Sichuan Province, but he was unexpectedly temporarily frustrated.

Now seeing that all the soldiers and horses only cared about their own one-third of an acre and left the country, so the attempt to reorganize the Sichuan army failed, so Yang Xuan decided to reorganize the loyal army first.

If the regiments, battalions (divisions), brigades (bureaus), general flags (squadrons), and small flags (squads) of the modern army are organized into troops, then it is entirely possible to form corps, divisions, and brigades on top of them.

Not to mention that ancient China formed an army in this way, the Zhou Dynasty stipulated that the establishment of the army was divided into six levels: army, division, brigade, pawn, two, and army, and there was a saying that the Son of Heaven would have six armies and three armies.

Of course, the number of military divisions and brigades in ancient times was different, for example, a brigade was about 500 people, a division was about 2,500 people, and an army was about 12,500 people.

Since the Zhou Dynasty, only the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has organized its army in this way, although some say that most of its troops had only one division (i.e., 2,500 men).

As a traverser, on the basis of drawing on the ancient and modern army establishments, we hope to carry out reorganization in accordance with modern methods, so as to improve the army establishment.

According to the model of the previous life, the ideal way is for two regiments to form a brigade and four regiments to form a division, but at present there are only sixteen infantry regiments, and Yang Xuan does not want to form a stronger division and thus affect his rights too much.

In this way, the establishment of brigades will be temporarily abolished, and after the development of each town (division), the army establishment of brigades will be formed below, and according to this model, basically two regiments will form a temporary division.

After the adaptation, they are:

The guard town (division) is composed of the guard regiment and the 7th regiment, and the 16th regiment, whose main generals include deputy general Cao Zhang, staff general Feng Youqing, Du Si Niu Dayong, Wang Gao, etc., which is also the first army that is relatively satisfied with the establishment of the division town.

The 1st Town (Division) consisted of the 1st Regiment, the 15th Regiment and 1 Supplementary Battalion, and its main generals were Deputy General Fan Mingshan, Du Siwen Zirang, and Yang Yongtai, who were stationed in Chongqing Prefecture.

The 2nd Town (Division) consisted of the 2nd Regiment, the 12th Regiment and a supplementary battalion, and the main generals were Deputy General Chen Yingzong and Guerrilla Zhao Desheng, who were stationed in Long'an Mansion.

The 3rd Town (Division) consisted of the 3rd Regiment, the 10th Regiment and a supplementary battalion, and the main generals were General Guo Chonglie, Guerrilla Wang Zhibang, and Du Si Guo Ning, stationed in Baoning Mansion.

The 4th Town (Division) consisted of the 4th Regiment, the 8th Regiment and a supplementary battalion, and the main generals were Yao Zhijiao and Yang Fuquan, who were stationed in Shunqing Mansion.

The 5th Town (Division) was composed of the 5th Regiment, the 9th Regiment and a supplementary battalion, and the main generals were Yang Bingyi and Dusi Wang Shuji, stationed in Tongchuan Prefecture and Mianzhou, Baoning Prefecture.

The 6th town (division) was composed of the 6th Regiment and the 14th Regiment, and the main generals were Liu Weiming and Yang Wei, who went to Dujiangyan to rebuild the waterway

The 7th Town (Division) is composed of the 11th Regiment and the 13th Regiment, and the main generals are Jin Tongwu, Dusi Wang Gao, and Pu Yi, and they are stationed in Chengdu Mansion.

In addition, this time the defeat of the Eight Banners of Mongolia and Mongolia was repeated, a large number of horses were captured, and the cavalry was also expanded, after the expansion, there were 1,500 cavalry people, forming three regiments, under the unified command of the deputy general Ma Chao, and the guerrilla general was the capital and Gui assisted in command.

Due to the use of the navy as the food route of the army, the navy is currently organized into four battalions, each of which includes one Flying Tiger warship brigade, two sampan boat brigades, and two transport brigades.

In order to encompass Yang Zhan and Cao Xun, after appointing them as the commanders of Sichuan and Xingdu respectively, Yang Xuan appointed Yin Chengqi as the commander of the capital and responsible for the operation, Zhao Ronggui as the commander of the capital, responsible for tun farming, Pan Mengke, the capital of the intelligence department, was responsible for intelligence, and Wang Zhiyao and Hong Zhenglong, the general of the staff department, assisted in the operation.

In addition to rewarding the officers and soldiers of the three armies, in addition to reorganizing the troops, Yang Xuan was most concerned about the treatment of injuries along the way.

This time, although the loyal and righteous army defeated the main force of the Qing army in Sichuan under the city of Shunqing, closed the door and beat the dog in front of the Baizhang Pass in Guangyuan, expelled the army of Haoge into Sichuan, and returned to Chongqing to annihilate the Qing army under Luo Luohun, the king of Yanxi County of the Qing Dynasty, even so, the casualties of the loyal and righteous army were quite huge.

In two months, 1,000 of the loyal soldiers died of illness, 4,000 were killed in battle, 2,000 were seriously wounded, and there were only more wounded in battle (in ancient China, in order to inspire the courage of soldiers and soldiers, the lightly wounded were simply treated and did not require special treatment).

Looking at the long list of wounded and thinking about the light and serious wounded in the battalion, Yang Xuan once again felt the importance of the army's logistics support and the treatment of the wounded. (In ancient China, many wars were due to malnutrition or untimely treatment on the battlefield, and the number of deaths and injuries far exceeded the battlefield casualties.) )

Although opium was used to temporarily relieve the body pain of the seriously injured, the more serious than the body pain was the inflammation of the wound, that is, the pus from the wound, and the further deterioration of the wound.

Although he is accustomed to seeing life and death, the chief medical officer Huang Xuemao still held back his tears and sighed, and in the past two months, more than 10 people died every day because of pus from their wounds.

As a traverser, Yang Xuan of course knew that bacterial infections and wound inflammation caused the expansion of injuries, but in ancient times, there was a lack of medical treatment and medicine, and the treatment equipment was rudimentary and helpless.

Hearing that many heroic soldiers left the world in such pain every day, Yang Xuan seemed quite unwilling, and convened all the medical officers to discuss countermeasures on this day.

Everyone lined up, many people were bloodshot, some sighed, of course everyone knows that the most important thing in dealing with wounds is to stop bleeding, and the most important thing is to avoid pus from the wound, but what can you do?

Physically driven, Yang Xuan asked in a low voice: "Gentlemen, gentlemen (ancient teachers, yin and yang masters, Lang Zhong honorific titles), everyone has read the Yellow Emperor's Neijing, Compendium of Materia Medica and other medical skills, everyone is a famous doctor, of course everyone knows that the most important thing in treating trauma is to stop bleeding, and the most important thing is to avoid pus."

Why some people don't have pus in their wounds, and why some people do, I think it's mainly caused by the infection of the virus (mentioned by Wu Youxing in the plague).

In the process of treatment, how can we do a good job of disinfection, how to do a good job of wound infection, if we do this, the wounds of the soldiers will not flow pus, and the wounds will not deteriorate anymore. ”

Everyone was shocked, Huang Xuemao widened his triangular eyes and asked, "Master Hou, you said that the wound was bleeding pus because of wound poisoning?"

In order to kill their opponents, many vicious people often feed poison on their weapons, and some of them are highly poisonous, and they often can't walk three steps after being stabbed, and they often die of poisoning. ”

Yang Xuan nodded and said, "What the chief medical officer said is so, if the knife is fed with poison, of course you can die in three steps."

But there are few weapons on the battlefield to feed the poison, although the gentlemen have stopped the bleeding, but why there is still pus and water, the main reason is that there is no poison on the knife edge, mainly because we may be infected during the treatment process, so that the wound is slightly eroded by the virus and infected, so light pus and water, heavy and dead. ”

Everyone suddenly realized, Huang Xuemao arched his hand and said: "If Hou Ye's inference is not wrong, if the treatment of trauma is simply to prevent virus infection, it is not without changes, but, but ......"

Seeing that the other party wanted to speak and stopped, Yang Xuan looked quite anxious, glared at the other party and said, "Chief Medical Officer, I entrust you with the lives of 40,000 soldiers, why do you still want to talk to me and stop talking?"

If there is anything to say, whether the method is mature or not, I will do my best to support it. ”

Huang Xuemao thought about it, asked people to take a thin bowl, drop two drops of poison in it, and then took out a silver needle and inserted it into the thin bowl, and the silver needle instantly turned black.

Looking at the blackened silver needle, Huang Xuemao smiled and said: "My lord, the silver needle turns black when it encounters poison, so many rich and noble families like to use silver bowls and silver chopsticks or something."

Just like this silver needle, although it turns black when it encounters poison, it will return to its original color after a while. ”

Thinking of the silver bowl he used to eat, Yang Xuan's eyes widened, and he said word by word: "Chief Medical Officer, you, you said that this silver needle can kill viruses?" ”

Huang Xuemao shook his head and said with some hesitation: "Master Hou, we don't know if the silver needle can kill the virus, but it is certain that the silver needle will turn black when it encounters poison." ”

This is basic common sense, Yang Xuan nodded, and looked at everyone: "This method is very good, of course it can be tested, if it is feasible, of course it can be promoted by the whole army." ”

Huang Xuemao squeezed out a smile and said embarrassedly: "My lord, this, this, how much silver does this cost?" ”

Yang Xuan seemed unimpressed, in the era of the fusion of hot and cold weapons, what is more important than preventing wound infection? You must know that there are too many soldiers on the battlefield who have lost their young lives because of wound infection.

After Yang Xuan racked his brains to collect the support of disinfection and inflammation in his previous life, after unremitting experiments, slowly, the Loyal and Righteous Army Barracks established relatively primitive measures to prevent wound infection.

For example, high-purity alcohol is applied (70%-75%, the alcohol concentration of Shaanxi Xifeng wine reaches 53%, and this medical disinfection alcohol does not need to be mixed with any water at all), such as silver sterilization.

With unremitting efforts, all the strips of cloth that touched the wound were soaked in silverware, soaked in high-purity alcohol, and washed with silverware and water containers.

Thanks to unremitting efforts, although the phenomenon of wound infection in the army has been greatly reduced, the lives of young soldiers have been saved.

As the number of wounded deaths decreased, the soldiers on the battlefield became braver, because everyone knew that even if they were wounded, they could be well healed.
