Chapter 220: Medical Battalion Formation
After Li Junxian brought the people from the four sects, he rested for a few days with peace of mind, but a few days later, something troubled him again.
"General Li, some of our soldiers have been injured, and I hope that General Li will quickly form a medical battalion! The soldiers are talking about when we will form a medical battalion! Ma Zhou said.
Now, Ma Zhou's Political Department has been temporarily set up, which can be regarded as a solid political minister. Now he came over and asked when the medical camp should be formed, which seemed to be a real big deal. Military doctors are often very important people in the military, and if there are no military doctors, morale may be affected.
In the ancient army, the level of medical care was very problematic. Once a soldier is wounded, few are able to heal it. Li Juncheng once read some historical records that an army of 100,000 people actually had only four military doctors, which has to be said to be a tragedy. In ancient times, the vast majority of soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but died after the war, and the wounds were infected and inflamed and suppurated. Once inflamed and suppurated, in ancient times it was a serious problem that was almost impossible to treat.
Therefore, the wounded soldiers in ancient times were very miserable, because the level of medical care was not enough, so they were often abandoned when they were injured. This is a very inhumane thing that would have been very inhumane in later generations, but it was a very common thing in ancient times. And these wounded soldiers, who were all injured for the sake of the country and the emperor, have to be said to be a sadness.
"Do the soldiers want to form a medical battalion?" Li Junxian asked.
"Yes! When the soldiers heard that we were going to set up a special medical battalion, they all raised their hands and feet in favor. As long as there is a medical camp, the morale will definitely be guaranteed. Ma Zhou said.
"Okay, you go and choose some soldiers to come over and form a medical battalion. This medical battalion was temporarily divided into three companies, a stretcher company, which was responsible for carrying the wounded and sick off the battlefield. There is also a treatment company that treats wounded soldiers. Finally, there is the convalescence room, which is treated according to the company rank. If you can, recruit some female soldiers to come back and take care of the wounded.
"General Li, I'm going to recruit people!" Ma Zhou said.
"Okay!" Li Junxian said.
A few days later, the medical camp was about to be set up, and Li Junxian took it to the medical camp to have a look. This medical camp is related to morale, and Li Junxian can't pay too much attention to it. As long as an army has medical security, its morale will not decline easily, and it will not ruin its morale because of some wounded soldiers!
But. When Li Junxian saw the quality of these medical camps, he immediately became angry and didn't fight anywhere.
"Ma Zhou, that's how you do things? What kind of garbage is this, and you actually pull everything over? I won't say much about the stretcher company, but some men can do it, that is, to bring the wounded soldiers down. With a little training, it can be done. But how did you get the nurse in this medical company and the nursing room? The medical company is the core of our medical camp, and you are so sloppy that you actually choose those barefoot doctors to come? The medical abilities of these barefoot doctors. I was skeptical. As for the nurses in the nursing room, how did you choose these fire girls? Will those fire girls be able to take care of the wounded soldiers? Li Junxian asked loudly.
Ma Zhou was also helpless for a while, and spread his hands and said, "General Li, we can't do anything either." Today's doctors don't want to join the army. I don't care how much I give. Those doctors are all 'nobles', why do they bother to go into the barracks and suffer, giving up comfortable and high income? Nowadays, the income of doctors is not low, and people eat whole grains. How can you not get sick? But the number of doctors is too small, so we can invite them! ”
Li Junxian also had a headache, because there were very few doctors and doctors in ancient times! In ancient times, it was not like the later generations where hospitals were everywhere. Many counties here don't have a doctor. Moreover, medical treatment was also very expensive in ancient times. Don't think that in later generations, it was expensive to see a doctor, but in ancient times, it was even more expensive. Not to mention that many medicinal materials cannot be cultivated artificially, which makes the medicine expensive. Let's just say that the number of doctors is very small, which increases the market for doctors. A doctor sees a doctor, I am afraid that the fee will make the average family harvest for more than half a year. At this price, a doctor has become very rich.
If you go to the barracks, not only will you have to suffer, but I am afraid that you will have to see a doctor on a voluntary basis. Although the medicine may be purchased by the army, the doctor may not want to receive the consultation fee. Because it is your duty to treat the army, do you still need real money? This is probably also the problem of those doctors who are reluctant to come to the army as military doctors.
"Hmph, these barefoot doctors, I'm afraid it's okay to treat some minor ailments. But it should be internal medicine, and our army is mainly surgery! Isn't it putting the cart before the horse, you have some people in charge of internal medicine to treat surgery? Li Junxian complained.
"General Li, we can't help it! Hey, by the way, I have a solution. Ma Zhou said suddenly.
"What's the solution?" Li Junxian asked.
"General Li, Mrs. Dugu's mother, that is, General Li's mother-in-law, isn't it our Datang's medicinal herb supplier? Since you are a supplier of medicinal materials, you should know a lot of doctors. You may even be able to meet the doctor who treats the trauma. As long as Mrs. Dugu is invited, she should be able to invite some high-quality surgeons. General Lee, what do you say? Ma Zhou said.
"You say the Yiren?" Li Junxian muttered for a moment.
Ma Zhou's words are right, Dugu Yiren's mother used to be a supplier of medicinal materials for the Tang Army, and she should know many doctors. Since ancient times, medicine has not been separated, and the two have often communicated. If Dugu Yiren can ask her mother, that is, Li Junxian's mother-in-law, to come forward, then I'm afraid the problem is really not big!
"Alright! I'll also go and ask the people of Iren to find my mother-in-law and see what he can do. To be honest, I haven't really been home for two months, and I've missed my two wives a little bit. Li Junxian said.
Li Junxian would never admit that he wanted to meet with Dugu Yiren, so that he could take the opportunity to go home and have a look. If your two wives are alone at home, this is not very good. Although they both have their own careers, as a husband, it is not good to be separated for a long time. It was understandable that I couldn't go home because of my busy military schedule. But now if there is an excuse that will not work, then I'm afraid it will be you two hundred and five.
In this way, Li Junxian embarked on the way home, and he was going to beg Dugu Yiren, a good wife. (To be continued......)
