Chapter 7: Transforming Healthcare (1)

Pity the suffering, cherish the common people, but the soldiers in the troubled times are prosperous; The knife is ruthless, the gun is heartless, and the bone is broken and the muscle is prosperous. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Bingliang entered the Qianqing Palace, and saw that Chongzhen was thinking about something, his brows furrowed from time to time, and his expression was extremely focused, and he didn't realize that he had entered the palace. For a while, Zhang Bingliang didn't know whether to disturb Emperor Chongzhen, if he was unhappy, he would be the envoy of the hospital, and he would be able to do it, thinking of this, Zhang Bingliang's back was a little cold. This is actually staying in a high position for a long time, accustomed to personnel changes and the darkness of the inner courtyard of the palace, no matter how bold a person is, he will become cautious, the initial edges and corners have long been smoothed out, and any ideals and ambitions are not as important as their own head.

It was a long time before Emperor Chongzhen came out of his contemplation. I saw a middle-aged official kneeling on the ground, who was also looking at him, wearing a five-grade official uniform. At this moment, these eyes are staring at themselves tightly, originally according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, staring at the emperor like this is disrespectful, but in the late Ming Dynasty, due to serious party disputes, the emperor many times, in the minds of officials, the symbolism is greater, and those harsh crimes of disrespect are gradually ignored by the ministers. Chongzhen could see a little confusion and sorrow in his gaze. Chongzhen understood that this should be the Zhang Bingliang he wanted to see, otherwise, without a notification, it would be impossible for the guards in front of the Qianqing Palace to let any official enter the main hall.

"Aiqing, let's be even." Chongzhen estimated that Zhang Bingliang had been kneeling for a long time, so he was so out of shape, and now he had important things to arrange for him to do, and he didn't plan to worry about these details.

"Emperor Xie, minister, Zhang Bingliang, the envoy of the Imperial Hospital, see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live." Zhang Bingliang did not get up immediately, but kowtowed to Chongzhen and shouted long live, in order to curry favor with the former King of Xin, the current Emperor Chongzhen.

"I am looking for Aiqing today for two main purposes, one is that since I ascended the throne, I have not been in contact with Aiqing, take this opportunity to contact each other, so that I can have some understanding of Aiqing, so that I can rest assured that the health of everyone in this palace will be entrusted to you; The second is that I just checked the Liaodong War Report, and I feel that many soldiers have not been effectively treated after being injured, so that they are disabled or even die, so I will discuss with you how to solve such incidents, I will give you time, and you will think about it first. Chongzhen didn't go around in circles, and directly explained his intentions.

Chongzhen felt a very serious problem from the Liaodong war report, many soldiers did not die directly in the battlefield, but did not get effective treatment and welfare system, soldiers were injured in the war, if they were infected, the light ones would end, and the heavy ones would lose their lives, and the injured soldiers could only arrange their hometowns, and there was no special preferential treatment, and many disabled soldiers could only spend the rest of their lives in misery.

Since the Hongwu period, the military system of the Ming Dynasty has reformed the military system of the Yuan Dynasty and created a unique guard system. The emperor monopolized military power, and set up guards in important places throughout the country, and the military Ding era was successively distributed to the fields, and the army's supplies were completely dependent on the military households. This military system once played a huge role in the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty, but in the late Ming Dynasty, it seriously restricted the military households. Due to the occupation of a large number of tuntian by wealthy households and generals, and the fact that Shangtun was seriously damaged by the "opening of the Chinese law" and was completely abandoned, military households lived on the verge of poverty, and began to flee in large numbers, and even begging for a living, the system of health was gradually on the verge of collapse.

Although the guard system can mobilize personnel and materials to the greatest extent, the ideal of Emperor Hongwu is to raise millions of soldiers and not consume a grain of grain from the people, which can only become a good wish, and the soldiers are short of food, which has repeatedly appeared in the army of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the guard system produced a unique military status in the Ming Dynasty, and it became a heavy burden for military households to serve as soldiers for generations. In addition, the guard system borrowed from the government soldier system, which directly caused the generals to not know the soldiers, and the soldiers did not know the generals, so that the cooperation and coordination in wartime became the most fatal problem, and in the apocalypse years, the private armies of Shaanxi and Liaodong even became the soldiers beyond the guards, and became the main force of the Ming Dynasty's foreign wars.

The system of health centers has caused a more serious problem, the soldiers' worries cannot be effectively guaranteed, and even the most basic medical care cannot be guaranteed, how can such soldiers have combat effectiveness, and how can they be invincible in this troubled world. Therefore, Chongzhen thought of reforming medical treatment to improve the combat effectiveness of the Ming army step by step.

"Zhang Aiqing, you have been thinking about it for so long, do you have any good suggestions?" Chongzhen didn't say his thoughts directly, he wanted to try to see if this Zhang Bingliang had real talent and learning, or climbed up by virtue of his relationship.

"Your Majesty, the minister has been thinking for a long time, and he has a few ideas, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not." Zhang Bingliang is not a mediocre person, and he can get to this point today, relying on his own medical skills and excellent political level, otherwise, this hospital envoy would not have been able to do it himself.

"But it doesn't hurt to say, I forgive you for your innocence." Chongzhen is not a person who does not know how to be flexible, since Zhang Bingliang said so, there must be some ideas that will touch the interests of some people or are not within the scope of his authority, these are taboos in officialdom, so it is normal for Zhang Bingliang to hesitate.

"The minister has two ideas, one is to train a large number of medical talents, and now the medical treatment of the Ming Dynasty belongs to the Ministry of Rites, and the minister is willing to ask His Majesty to order the Ministry of Rites to open a medical imperial examination to select top medical talents, and these selected talents will serve in the local and military allocation." Zhang Bingliang said the first point, and seemed to feel that his thoughts were a little bold, and he couldn't help but raise his head and look at Emperor Chongzhen, and found that Chongzhen was not angry, but listened very carefully, and his uneasy heart was put down. After a pause, Zhang Bingliang continued: "Second, there is the problem of the supply of medicinal materials, there is a shortage of drugs to treat trauma, and the soldiers cannot get effective treatment, to a large extent, these drugs cannot reach the soldiers. According to the Ming military system, after a soldier is injured, the doctors in the army can only deal with it hastily, on the one hand, there is not enough manpower, and on the other hand, there is not enough medicine. Moreover, most of these soldiers are military households, and as soon as the war is over, the wounded soldiers are left unattended, and all the medicines must be purchased at their own expense. ”

Zhang Bingliang sighed unconsciously after speaking, this is for these wounded and dead soldiers, as the envoy of the Tai Hospital, although he is far away from the war, but the local medical treatment is also under his own jurisdiction, so these are very clear, plus this is a matter of the Ministry of War, he is a small Tai Hospital envoy, and he has no ability to change this status quo, this feeling of powerlessness is really uncomfortable.
