Chapter 273: Medical Value
It is undeniable that the important ministers of the imperial court are all great Confucians who have read poetry and books, but the times have the limitations of the times, and it is unrealistic to expect them to have a vision beyond the times.
"These captives are of some use to me...... Zhu Houwei said leisurely.
"Your Majesty." Yang Tinghe said in a sonorous voice: "Your Majesty wants to emulate the Han Wu Tang Sect, how can you have the kindness of a woman!"
Yang Tinghe still wanted to let these captives serve as coolies, but in his eyes, there were more people in the Ming Dynasty, so he had to use the captives of 10,000 people?
"There are no eternal enemies in this world, there are only unchanging interests, killing these captives is just a matter of words, but how can we make these captives give full play to their value?"
Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "In my eyes, these captives are valuable whether they are dead or alive, and they can be allowed to do those dangerous labors everywhere, so that even if they die, they will not feel distressed, and as for the dead, they can also contribute unique value to the medicine of the Ming Dynasty......"
A cadre of heavy ministers stared wide-eyed, and the one who said earlier that the living could still be understood, but the dead? Medical value?
Zhu Houwei's medical value certainly refers to human anatomy, in fact, dissection is not uncommon for ancient medicine, for example, the famous Hua Tuo once wanted to split Cao Cao's head for research......
There is also a systematic description of anatomy in the famous "Yellow Emperor's Neijing".
It's just a pity that the dissection of this thing is not tolerated by secular ethics after all, so let alone the rise, and even the Ming Dynasty is almost extinct......
Then autopsy became one of the most important tools of Western medicine.
There is no doubt who is strong and who is weak between Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and the so-called Chinese medicine treats the symptoms of Western medicine, which shows the strength of Chinese medicine, but why will Chinese medicine decline in later generations?
There are many reasons, but in Zhu Houwei's view, there are two most important factors, one is the speed of learning.
Old Chinese medicine, old Chinese medicine, if you want to do Chinese medicine well, it is almost impossible without decades of hard work, while Western medicine is relatively much faster, with a variety of medical devices to judge the symptoms, and then according to the process to treat it.
However, Chinese medicine pays attention to what it is, and it is impossible to bear it without considerable experience.
The second is medicinal materials, there are too many chemical blends in Western medicine, which can be mass-produced in a steady stream without worrying about the depletion of materials, while traditional Chinese medicine is different, and traditional Chinese medicine has too high requirements for medicinal materials......
For example, tiger bones, such as old ginseng that has been ingredient for hundreds of years, and various medicinal materials that have been completely extinct in later generations.
The lack of medicinal materials restricts the development of traditional Chinese medicine, and the degree of difficulty in learning is beyond the reach of Western medicine, so Zhu Houwei never thought of letting new students learn traditional Chinese medicine.
It's not that Chinese medicine is not worth learning, on the contrary, Chinese medicine is broad and profound, and if you want to learn Chinese medicine, you must put in many times the effort than learning Western medicine, which is inconsistent with Zhu Houwei's current vision.
What he needs now is surgery!
The medical students in the Yongwangfu School in Huzhou are learning surgery!
There is no doubt that surgery is a milestone in the history of medicine.
Today's Daming does not require much in-depth surgery, but such as the removal of the appendix, caesarean section......
Appendicitis is now also called intestinal carbuncle, which is one of the incurable diseases, and dystocia is easy to cause blood collapse, so that the mother's soul returns to Huangquan.
Two simple minor surgeries, according to the method of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, still have shortcomings after all, but the method of Western medicine can save too many lives, Zhu Houwei naturally will not play to his strengths and avoid weaknesses.
Nowadays, medical students have also undergone more than a dozen appendiceal removal surgeries, and although the success rate is only 60%, almost all of the failure cases are concentrated in the early stage, which is also a helpless thing.
If you want to learn surgery and internal medicine well, you can't do without a lot of clinical and even anatomical experiments, and if you don't accumulate rich experience, you can't even figure out the structure of the human body, it's not talking about surgery, it's just a joke.
Suffering from intestinal carbuncle is almost a death sentence, medical students in the folk looking for such patients, as long as they can be found, the families of those patients also hold the dead horse as a live horse doctor's mentality, cure the death of the rejoicing, also admitted.
If you don't admit it, you dare to make trouble with the Yongwang? How dare you slander the reputation of the Eternal King?
Dystocia......
Zhu Houwei doesn't understand medicine, so he can't figure out which is more difficult or easier to have a cesarean section or an appendix cut, but one thing is certain, that is, there are still a lot of practitioners who can be used to cut the appendix, and they can be delivered by caesarean section......
There are no doors!
Since Zhu Xi put forward the idea of 'preserving the principles of heaven and destroying people's desires', Chinese women have been completely bound by science and religion, and women who have not left the cabinet will be said to be immoral......
That's the devil and the monster, and it's definitely the end of the pig cage......
In the same way, a woman's childbirth itself is a private matter, and it also relies on the old process of a stable woman, caesarean section?
Then you have to take off your clothes, at least you have to show your belly, right?
It is simply unreasonable to cut the belly open and then take the child out of the mother's body.
Even if the foolish people let the mother die of pain and let the pregnant woman die of dystocia and blood collapse, they are not willing to play such a play.
Of course, it does not mean that due to the constraints of etiquette and religion, medical students have no chance of caesarean section at all, at least when the miscellaneous servants, servants and even the mother-in-law of the guards in the palace have dystocia, medical students still have the opportunity to do it, but unfortunately, none of the three cases before and after survived......
This caesarean section has become a shame for medical students!
Zhu Houwei knew that he really couldn't blame the medical students, because he knew that if he wanted to be proficient, it had a lot to do with experience and psychological quality, but he also needed the opportunity to practice hard and practice the opportunity to disembowel, and this requires the human body.
Of course, live human experiments are contrary to the spirit of humanitarianism, otherwise Zhu Houwei could have directly taken these more than 10,000 captives as sacrifices, but even if he is now an emperor, he has not yet reached the level of being like a stone.
If it was a short man in the Japanese country, Zhu Houwei might not have this kind of psychological burden, after all, it can only be regarded as a tooth for a tooth!
"Yan Tianyuan."
"The last general!" Yan Tianyuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately stepped forward.
"Escort all the centurions and above to Tongzhou, strictly guard them, and strangle them at a later date, and escort the rest of the captives to the camp in the army, waiting for my will."
"Yes!"
The emperor has already made a decision, and Yang Tinghe will naturally not continue to insist, but why the Son of Heaven wants to send some of the captives to Tongzhou really makes him puzzled.
According to his meaning, if all the captives above the centurion are killed outside this Chengtian Gate, and then hang their heads on the door, it will definitely greatly inspire the people of Beijing, and can also declare the great martial arts of the Ming Dynasty and deter the barbarians from all directions!
