Chapter 39 Start with small things
If she hadn’t watched Zhu Xiongying grow up, and if she hadn’t known Zhu Xiongying’s character, Zhu Jingwan would have really suspected that her nephew’s personality had suddenly changed. How could a child who was so smart and sensible before be doing ridiculous things now?
At the beginning, some maids were practicing female sex. Everyone didn't think there was any problem. They thought it was probably because the emperor's eldest grandson was frugal and wanted to ask the maids to do something, make some clothes and give them to the people and sergeants.
Don’t be surprised if you do this. This is what Empress Ma did when she was in Yingtian Mansion.
But slowly something went wrong. These maids were not mending clothes, they were sewing pig skins. Going a step further, they were sewing the pork together.
This is a bit absurd, and what is even more absurd is probably that the emperor's eldest son strictly ordered some imperial doctors to teach the maids medical skills, which are some medical skills in ancient books about mending sword wounds.
"Nightingale seemed to take good care of the wounded, reducing the mortality rate to less than three percent." Zhu Xiongying was thinking about it, thinking carefully, "It seems that those people also had wounds because they did not receive care.
Infection leads to high mortality. That was around the time of World War I, right?"
The wounded must be taken good care of, especially in ancient times, when the fatality rate and disability rate of the wounded were higher.
Speaking of military doctors, they existed very early, in the Han Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, military doctors were more common, so there was also wine to clean wounds.
The Ming Dynasty also had military doctors, and more military doctors were recruited during battles. Among the Beijing army, there were medical officers dispatched by the Imperial Hospital, but the ratio of medical officers was very low, with nearly 15,000 people assigned to one medical officer.
However, these are also formal medical officers, and they have an "establishment". And those doctors who are recruited from the private sector have to follow them when they go on expeditions, and they are not included in the establishment.
This will definitely not work. With such a ratio, if the injured can survive, it really depends on luck.
Zhu Jingwan held a few letters. Although she was a princess and Zhu Xiongying's imperial aunt, she still had to say something if she wanted to enter Zhu Xiongying's study. Zhu Jingwan had always known these rules. For example, she had never been to Wuying Palace.
, Wenhua Palace, that is where her father and brother handle political affairs. No matter how favored she is, she cannot go to those places.
Seeing what Zhu Xiongying was writing, Zhu Jingwan smiled and said, "Xiongying, here are some letters from home."
Zhu Xiongying couldn't help complaining, "Sister-in-law, I just care about taking care of the sergeant, but you have to say that I'm fooling around. I've been very diligent in writing home letters in the past few days, and I've been criticized a lot."
Zhu Jingwan said, "If I don't say this, others will say it, and we can't hide it. Besides, do you really think that sword wounds are just like sewing clothes? Let me ask you, you sew up the skin and flesh
Now, how do you get the backline?"
This is also a technical problem. Although suturing wounds seems to have some skills in ancient times, the thread to suture the wound is a big problem. If the thread cannot be removed, the wound cannot be sutured well, and the effect of the suture operation will be very average, and even subsequent
The trouble is huge.
Zhu Jingwan handed a few letters from home to Zhu Xiongying and said with a smile, "You have to weigh these things yourself. As long as you don't go too far, the family won't want to talk about you anymore."
"That's true, I am so bold just because I know this." Zhu Xiongying glanced at the paint casually, and then opened the envelope, "It means that my father is willing to say a few words, but with his grandfather and grandmother protecting him, there is no way.
Nothing to be afraid of."
With such two big backers, Zhu Xiongying does have the capital to be unscrupulous, and there is no need to worry about causing trouble.
As expected, Zhu Biao was relatively harsh and criticized Zhu Xiongying a little. He was also telling Zhu Xiongying to do his duty. This is what the emperor's eldest grandson should do. Duty is the best performance.
Lao Zhu seemed to be asking carefully, wanting to know some of Zhu Xiongying's motives. He also reminded Zhu Xiongying that there have been countless casualties on the battlefield since ancient times. Even though many people are thinking of ways, there is still no way to reduce the death rate.<
/p>
Compassion does not lead to military control. This widely circulated ancient saying in military command is very reasonable. It is not that you cannot have benevolence in commanding soldiers, but it is that you should not be too kind. You should not spend more time on such things. Instead of thinking about these,
It’s better to train more troops.
Empress Ma and Mrs. Chang also asked Zhu Xiongying carefully about his thoughts. They first praised Zhu Xiongying for his kindness. But they also told Zhu Xiongying tactfully that some things were unrealistic. He wanted to sew clothes, but it was impossible to mend wounds.
After reading the family letter, Zhu Xiongying said to Zhu Jingwan, "Sister-in-law, if I can't do something famous here, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back. I'm very talented, and I won't be able to live up to my reputation if I don't do something."
Zhu Jingwan originally smiled and nodded, but suddenly her heart moved and she began to feel a little worried.
My nephew has been smart since he was a child, and he understands many things at a glance. He has been praised by everyone since he was a child.
But now, everyone in the family is full of doubts about his actions. Don't let this make your nephew feel angry, right?
Zhu Xiongying didn't know what his sister-in-law was thinking. He was just thinking about replying to the letter. Surgical suturing requires attention, but more importantly, nursing matters need to be considered.
When Nightingale became the goddess of the lamp, penicillin had not yet been invented. The mortality rate of those wounded by gunshots was greatly reduced, while those wounded by swords for no reason had to rely on luck.
Work harder, disinfection of wounds, etc. need to be put on the agenda. Forget about distilling alcohol, the main thing is that after a big battle, Zhu Xiongying also knows that with the strength of the Ming Dynasty, there is no way for too many wounded people to clean their wounds with high-concentration alcohol.
.
But boiling a bandage in boiling water and cleaning the wound with salt water is possible.
Increasing the number of military doctors in the health centers and allowing them to have some "professional training" are also things that can be considered.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
We need to continue to pay attention to things like catgut, but what Zhu Xiongying needs to do now is to pick out some people and let them learn to take care of the wounded.
Even though Zhu Xiongying may only know a little about some things, some of his knowledge and understanding are better than many people today. Some of the things he knows are also some common sense five or six hundred years later, and are the accumulation of scientific progress and medical development.
.
Zhu Xiongying can be willful. He is the eldest grandson of the emperor, so it is natural for him to ask some sergeants to do certain things.
In the final analysis, Zhu Xiongying has some privileges. If he wants to be more willful, there will naturally be no problems.
It seems that we should train some "nurses" first. These things can also be considered. These things are not difficult to think about, and all the basics are already in place.
It's hard to say what gauze is for now, but some linen cloth, etc., is actually not particularly difficult. Salt water, etc., is not a problem and is relatively easy to get.
You can continue to study catgut, etc., and you can start working hard to improve some things now.
There is no need to worry about the wounded, etc. The Ming Dynasty has just been established for more than ten years, and there are still many small rebellions in the territory, and there are even remnants of separatist forces.
Needless to say, in the north, although the Yuan Dynasty was driven out of the Central Plains, they also occupied the north. Before Zhu Xiongying's great-uncle Lan Yu defeated the Northern Yuan Dynasty in Yuerhai, the Northern Yuan Dynasty still had a relatively complete
Center of power.
That is to say, after the Battle of Yuerhai, the Beiyuan Dynasty was broken up and Mongolia entered the stage of division. The Mongols are still at the end of their strength and are also a threat to the north of the Ming Dynasty.
Because of the existence of various enemies, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to be careless, and training at various military stations was more frequent.
Once you are training, it means that there will be injuries. And in this way, Zhu Xiongying will naturally have no shortage of experimental personnel.
Train some professional military doctors. You don’t have to worry about anything else for the time being. As long as they can take good care of the wounded, it will be a great merit.
Those wounded are also a valuable asset. It is not easy to train experienced veterans. With more veterans in the army, there will be more combat effectiveness.
