Chapter Twenty-Six: Field Medicine
"Are you okay?" Emperor Constantine came to the camp of the wounded soldiers, and looked at the soldiers who were constantly wailing, and he couldn't bear it.
The soldier just shook his head, his pale chapped lips twitching,
"Your Majesty is merciful, give us dignity and land, I am willing to die for Your Majesty, but..."
The soldier breathed heavily, trying to say something, but in the end he didn't have time, tilted his head, and lost his breath on the spot.
"Alas," the emperor sighed deeply, but it also strengthened the emperor's determination to build a medical team.
This soldier was not actually injured much, but a cut was made in the palm of his hand, and he lasted for several days, and finally died of infection and fever.
The medical conditions of this era are like this, unlike traditional Chinese medicine, and now Western medicine has one kind of therapy: bloodletting,
Headache? Just bleed, fever? It's good to bleed, if it's not good, then it must be God who wants to see you, what does it have to do with my doctor?
After walking around the wounded barracks, Emperor Constantine, who originally wanted to ask about the situation, was also silent, there was no medicine, and the medical personnel were also served by the soldiers, and they were hastily bandaged, and the rest depended on whether the soldiers' physical fitness could survive.
"Call me the person in charge here."
The Emperor held back his anger, and the soldiers died not on the battlefield, but in their own camp, which made him angry.
Soon, the head of the camp for wounded soldiers rushed over and stood respectfully in front of the emperor,
"I wonder what His Majesty is looking for me?"
"Do you know what's going on here?"
The emperor's tone was stern, and those who were familiar with the emperor knew that the emperor was really angry.
The person in charge was also the imperial doctor in the emperor's court, who was originally dedicated to serving the emperor, and was now sent to be the head of the wounded barracks,
Hearing this, the imperial physician was not afraid,
"I know, but I'm not wrong, drugs are scarce in the military, it's the norm."
Medicine is scarce and medicine, and the emperor didn't ask why it was useless, this was for the emperor, and it was okay if the big head soldier died, and it wouldn't work if the emperor had a problem.
"Use all the drugs in stock, and you can save one by one."
The emperor can't say that what they did was wrong, this is also a piece of kindness from the people below, besides, once the emperor has no medicine when he has a headache and brain fever, no one can afford this responsibility, so only the emperor can give this order,
As for human rights? Please, what human rights do slaves have, in this era when they are either slaves or nobles, there are few commoners, nobles don't worry, people have money, slaves are simply property, which can be used as money.
Seeing the imperial doctor retreat with the order, the emperor has never been able to calm down, not only is medicine scarce in the army, but there are also few doctors, for the current Byzantium, human resources are the most important, especially the veterans who have fought in the war, this is all a treasure.
Within a few days, the first regulations on the medical system in history were presented to the public, called the "Regulations on the Sanitary Conduct of the Roman Empire", which stated:
1. Wash your hands frequently, take a bath frequently, and all personnel take a bath at least once a week.
2. During the march, the troops shall not pollute the water source, and the filth shall be buried in a centralized manner.
3. Each squadron should have a doctor to facilitate the rapid treatment of the wounded.
……
In order to train doctors, Emperor Constantine established the world's first medical school in Constantinople, with the imperial doctor as the teacher, providing a large number of medical talents for the empire, but this is all in the future.
At this time, the news of the defeat of Wallachia also reached Belgrade,
"Alas," Stefan smacked the table hard, his expression resentful,
"Vlad, this idiot, it's a big deal for me."
The Grand Duke of Bosnia and the Grand Duke of Herzegovina were present, and the two were also silent, obviously, no one expected Vlad to be defeated so simply.
"Are you still fighting?" The Grand Duke of Herzegovina couldn't help but say first that his national strength is the weakest, and he is cannon fodder when he fights.
The Grand Duke of Bosnia did not speak, but looked at Stefan, the meaning is obvious, you can do it.
Stefan also has a headache, it is obvious that he can't beat it, unless the Byzantines come to attack the city, maybe he can resist it with the defense of the city wall, but there is no point in it, can he block it once, and he can block it every time?
"Send someone to Pest and ask for Janos's opinion." Stefan said helplessly.
The Emperor was right, this incident was driven by Arnos, and he also wanted to see what the Lord of the Valleologous family was capable of, but it seemed that he was going to disappoint him.
Without the help of Janos, it would be wishful thinking to defeat Constantine, if Janos did not send troops, Stefan would be ready to surrender, and I heard that Vlad was still alive, and Constantine should not be able to do anything to him.
Receiving the news from Stefan, Janos was surprised,
"So fast?"
"What is Constantine's whereabouts?"
"Towards Belgrade is underway." The messenger responded.
"If you don't send troops, Lord Stefan will have to submit to Emperor Constantine."
Janos thought for a moment and asked with a puzzled expression, "Send troops?" Why? ”
"I have always admired Emperor Constantine, and his mercy and bravery are known to the world, so how can I be an enemy of him?"
The messenger's face changed drastically, "My lord, you weren't before..."
Before he could finish speaking, Janos interrupted him directly,
"Come, the messenger is tired, take him down to rest."
Seeing the envoy being dragged away, Janos's mood could not be better, the political landscape of the Balkans has changed dramatically, and the impact on Hungary is great, and he must be prepared.
In the West, the French king was busy centralizing royal power, issuing several decrees restricting local nobility and the church, England was about to be shrouded in the shadow of the Wars of the Roses, Castile and Aragon were busy with the Reconquista, the Ottoman Sultan was quelling rebellions, the Mamluk Sultan was indulging in pleasures, and the HRE Emperor Frederick III was obsessed with rituals.
All the great powers of later generations laid the foundation during this period, and as long as they grasped the opportunity, the country would soon be able to rise.
There is also a little advantage, people in this era generally do not have the concept of nationality, after all, they don't know a few words, compared to the nation, religious differences are more likely to make people turn against each other, religion makes the country great, but also one of the roots of the country's decline,
During this period, there was not a single powerful country in Europe, it was all small and fragmented countries, and if it wanted to rise, it had to rely on the present.
