Chapter 83: Wounded Soldiers
"It's okay, I'll just take a look, Lan Yu, do you know where the wounded barracks are?" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand casually to let Lan Yu get up.
Today's Lan Yu is still Zhu Yuanzhang's trusted henchman, Zhu Yuanzhang is naturally more casual to Lan Yu and not so upright.
And Lan Yu also got up neatly and led Zhu Yuanzhang and Hu Changan to the wounded barracks.
When I came to the wounded barracks, the atmosphere changed suddenly.
On the Chase pavement, there are many men wrapped in bandages.
Most of them were already unable to move, and could only lie on the couch weakly and hum.
After all, those who can walk have already taken the medicine home to accompany their wives and children.
Only those who are unable to move can only continue to stay in this wounded barracks, waiting for that moment to come.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this scene, he couldn't bear to look away.
In his early years of the Northern and Southern Wars, he had seen too many dead brothers.
Maybe everyone was still talking and laughing together before the expedition, and when the first battle was fought, the people were gone.
According to Zhu Yuanzhang's many years of experience in the army, most of these people who are lying down now are afraid that they will not be able to survive.
Hu Changan looked at these wounded people, and his eyes were unbearable.
However, he quickly reacted and went straight forward to pick up the wounded.
After all, alcohol can only treat those injuries that are not too serious, and for those who look like they are seriously infected, they are also powerless.
After a while, Hu Changan picked out the one that alcohol could cure among this group of wounded soldiers.
Most of them are skin trauma and do not cause extensive infection, at most local inflammation.
Hu Changan and Lan Yu discussed it, and planned to put these selected wounded soldiers into another barracks to take care of them individually, so that they could better observe.
After a while, the wounded soldiers were carefully moved to the next door.
Seeing that the preliminary preparations were done, Hu Changan took out the remaining alcohol from the last anti-epidemic time, untied the bandage of one of the wounded soldiers, and applied it to it.
The wounded soldier was still a little frightened when he saw the emperor, and when he was feeling uneasy, an unimaginable sharp pain suddenly came from the wound.
This pain is even more painful than when you are stabbed on the battlefield!
Caught off guard, the wounded soldier actually lost his temper in public, screaming, and his aching forehead was covered with sweat.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also taken aback when he saw such a tragic scene: "Hu Changan, why does your alcohol hurt so much, can you do it?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, this alcohol is just a pain when applied to the wound."
"There are a lot of bacteria on the wound that are not visible to the naked eye, and they are the ones that cause the wound to become inflamed, which in turn endangers the lives of the soldiers."
"When you apply alcohol, the alcohol destroys all these bacteria."
"But because the bactericidal ability is too strong, this will inevitably cause some irritation to the wound."
"As long as this alcohol is applied to intact skin, it will be fine, it will not hurt at all."
After that, Hu Changan also deliberately took some alcohol and applied it to the back of his hand.
Seeing that Hu Chang'an was alive and vigorous, and he didn't feel pain at all, Lan Yu on the side also took some alcohol and smeared it on the back of his hand.
"Your Majesty, it's true! This alcohol is cool on your hands, and it doesn't hurt at all! Lan Yu said excitedly.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lan Yu's excited appearance, and also believed Hu Changan's words for the time being.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang still doesn't quite understand, facts speak louder than words, and he is not one of those old stubborns.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but have a little more confidence in this magical alcohol.
Perhaps, this alcohol can really save these dying soldiers?
After a while, Hu Changan used alcohol to smear all the wounds of all the patients.
Suddenly, there was a wail in the barracks.
Hu Changan wiped his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
Generally, when dealing with large wounds, anesthetic medicine is applied first, and then alcohol.
Now that time is urgent, there is no time to find plant anesthetics, so I can only grieve the soldiers here.
Seeing that it was almost done, Hu Changan handed the alcohol in his hand to the little soldier on the side and said, "Did you see it?" Every day from now on, I will apply alcohol to their wounds as I do today until they heal. ”
"Yes!" The soldier saluted, and couldn't help but mourn in silence for his wailing colleagues.
Hey, it's a good thing to be able to heal the disease, but you can only endure the pain.
Zhu Yuanzhang on the side also silently gave an order to Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was following him, and asked him to send someone to watch over here.
This experiment is very important, and Zhu Yuanzhang hopes that someone will follow up so that he can intuitively see the effect of this alcohol.
Seeing that things were almost done, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Hu Changan to go home and wait for the final verdict.
With the emotional blessing of Wanmin's petition, Zhu Yuanzhang is still more pleasing to the eye when he looks at Hu Changan now.
What's more, it was verified that he did not loot people's property without permission, and since he did not commit a crime, he naturally did not have to stay in prison and eat prison food.
After hearing this, Hu Changan hurriedly accepted the order and went home happily.
No matter how good the prison environment is, it is still a prison after all.
How good it is to go home, what you like to eat, what you like to do, and how cool it is to be accompanied by beautiful maids!
When Hu Changan's figure walked away, Lan Yu finally had a heartbeat, and knelt down and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, after thinking about it for a long time, the minister still decided to confess one thing." ”
"Oh, what's the matter?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lan Yu who was kneeling on the ground, looking a little surprised.
Lan Yu, this kid, has always been unconvinced, why did he suddenly change his personality now, and he still played the trick of pleading guilty?
Lan Yu knelt down and saluted, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "The son and nephew of the minister's family, because they are addicted to gambling, work together with the housekeeper of the family, wantonly encroach on the people's fields, and privately turn the peasants belonging to the government into their own tenant farmers!" ”
"When the minister knew that he was furious at this time, he had already returned all the fertile land occupied in the mansion to the people."
What?!
Zhu Yuanzhang was really angry now.
This is a major event that shakes the foundation of the country! Why is this Lan Yu so confused, and he actually connived at his nephew to do such a bold thing?
If all the noble families operate like this, then in a hundred years, the country will no longer be able to collect taxes!
However, in addition to being angry, Zhu Yuanzhang still had some doubts: "Lan Yu, what do you mean by telling me about this now?" Do you want me to punish you? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is honest with Your Majesty today, I just want to tell Your Majesty that all this is the credit of Hu Changan."
"Originally, the minister was completely ignorant of this matter, but thanks to Hu Changan, when he was doing business in Lishui County, he discovered the evil deeds of the housekeeper in the house, and he came to inform Yu Chen, so the minister did not continue to commit that heinous crime!"
"In addition to the Lan family, Hu Changan also found that several other families have seized people's land."
