The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 370 Surgery
At this time, another tribe that had endured for many years and had been accumulating strength knew the great news, and felt that their chance to rule the roost had come. As a tribe that had been suppressed for a long time, they wanted to rise up and become the most powerful on the grassland. tribes, so that other tribes will bow to them.

The leader of the tribe, who felt that the opportunity had come, took the bravest warriors in the tribe straight to the tribe that suffered from horse plague. When they left the tribe, most of them wished the warriors of their own tribe success, and the other surrounding tribes did not participate. Instead, choose to watch.

You must know that these two tribes are basically in the first and second positions. There are many things between them. You look down on me and I look down on you. Whenever something happens to the tribe, someone will take the opportunity to add insult to injury.

After the battle between the warriors of the two tribes, the originally very strong tribe couldn't stand it anymore.Because after suffering from horse plague, some members of the tribe said that God must be punishing the tribe for horse plague. Of course, this saying is generally circulated at the bottom, and the upper-class nobles don't know that their hearts are disturbed.

After the other tribes attacked, the tribe members who suffered from the horse plague were all listless. They were indeed warriors on horseback, but now the horses are all finished, and they don't have their own mounts at all.

In addition, in order to save the horses, the members of the tribe have been unable to eat or sleep well, and their physical strength has been greatly reduced. They have no strength and no faith. Naturally, they cannot compete with those opponents. The men of the most powerful tribe in that battle Basically dead.

The victorious tribe took the remaining women and children, and let the slaves in the original tribe take the remaining flocks, cattle and other livestock on the road. These are their victories and belong to their property that can be distributed. Li has always pursued this policy: enjoy the wives and daughters of the enemy, brainwash the cubs into their own tribe, and slaves are still slaves.

After a few days of journey, they returned to their own tribe with the sent points, all of them were very happy, and they would hold a bonfire party with songs and dances to celebrate their victory. The whole tribe was boiling, and their tribe became the most powerful on the grassland. tribe.

It's just that they were too happy too early. Not long after returning to the tribe, horse plague came to the tribe.They watched the horses in their tribe fall down one by one, just like the previous tribe, which made the whole tribe anxious. What is going on?Did the curse follow after capturing that tribe?
They tried their best to save a handful of their property, but found that they couldn't control the whole situation at all, and the horses still fell to death one by one.At this moment, someone finally shouted out, and all of this was because of the robbing of the property of that tribe, everyone suddenly realized that someone drove away the slaves who had just been robbed, and those women and children were also driven away. Let's go, of course the livestock are also driven away.

But the horse plague was still spreading in the tribe, and it stopped until there was no one who could be infected, which eventually led to the decline of the tribe. Fortunately, no one from the tribe dared to come this time. After all, what is going on? Everyone heard it.

The tribes that declined after the horse plague finally disappeared in history. Most of the members defected to other tribes. If there is a plague in Yandi, it will not come.

This secret history was known to Ling Xiao when he was wandering on the grassland. He mentioned in the message to Shiba Niang that today, after hearing the worry of King Yan, he told the secret. rest assured.

In the case of pestilence, he didn't want to start a war with the tribesmen, which was tantamount to fighting on two fronts. Since they didn't dare to come when they heard the pestilence, it was really great, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was going to talk to his people about the Yuantao matter, so he sent people to invite those people over. There are some issues that everyone can discuss about how to deal with. The sooner a decision is made on these matters, the better.

While waiting for everyone to come over, he asked again, to increase his understanding of Wenyi, which he did not know before, but King Yan quickly changed his mind, and planned to let Ji Mou hold the meeting. Explain the situation again.

After the people who followed King Yan arrived, everyone was surprised to find that the imperial concubine was present, and they didn't make a sound, because King Yan had always expressed his appreciation for the eldest daughter-in-law in public, and the eldest son cared more, so they naturally didn't Will fight against Yan Wang and his son.

Even though they were very surprised by Ji Mu's appearance, the old foxes didn't show any signs of it. Anyway, this is the mistress of King Yan's mansion. They don't want to offend them, and they believe that King Yan will not be confused.

After seeing the paper scroll given by King Yan, I found out the reason for the appearance of the concubine Shizi. Everyone was basically shocked. Unexpectedly, something would happen to Yuantao City. Get used to it quickly and get ready to start preparing for the plague.

In addition to preparing to provide certain material support, they must send people to treat the patients. Fortunately, during this period of time, the doctors in Yandi are very blessed. I have the opportunity to learn more knowledge, and many doctors have made a lot of progress.

Most of the people who have been favored by the Tao family look at the Tao family with admiration. When the black Tao family in Yandu was the most powerful, most of the doctors decided to stand by the Tao family after hearing the news and wanted to speak out for the Tao family.

But Tao Sanlang didn't let them speak out, and only asked them to learn relevant knowledge. This is because Tao Sanlang knew that there were too few of them, and the status of doctors in ancient times was not high, so they naturally had no effect in the public opinion war.

Goro didn't let them go out, let them study hard, and heal patients well after studying well. This is the reason why the Tao family made great efforts to educate these doctors, hoping that people will live better, and the progress of medicine will make people live better. longer.

Originally, Ling Xiao planned to make good use of this opportunity to teach everyone about surgery before holding the training class for doctors, but soon she remembered something uncomfortable and didn't start to act immediately.

You must know that the ancients were very concerned about whether they would ensure the integrity of their bodies after death. This is not only the ancient Kyushu people who had this idea, but also the ancient Europeans.

For a long time in the Middle Ages, the religion believed by Europeans was not to dissect human corpses.Later, this situation was gradually abolished. The development of doctors' skills requires human anatomy. Doctors need to study the structure of the human body in order to treat people better.

Those who study medicine need a large number of human corpses in order to study the condition of the human body, what is healthy, what is sick, and what changes occur in the internal organs of the human body. At that time, the corpses that could be dissected by doctors were only legally required. It could be a corpse condemned to death.

This was the case in the eighteenth century, but the laws were very strict at that time, so there were so many people sent to the guillotine that there was no shortage of corpses needed by the medical school.

After the [-]th century, the law changed a lot, and the number of people sentenced to death decreased a lot, so the needed human corpses were not enough, and there were not enough criminal corpses, which led to medical students and researchers who wanted to study the human body There were not enough cadavers for autopsies.

But if you want to learn medicine well, you must have a general body, and you can't get corpses through normal channels.This gave birth to a profession: the business of buying and selling corpses appeared. Some people specially obtained corpses of unknown origin for those research institutions for research, and the research institutions or researchers gave money. This was completely illegal in that era, but as long as you have money To make money, someone will naturally do it.

Later, some people felt that the money was coming quickly, so they searched for the source of corpses everywhere. This caused not only the unrest for the dead buried in the cemetery, but also the thieves who stole the corpses to dig up and sell them. Directly kill people, slaughter passing passengers and sell them to the research institute.

The dead in this situation often died in vain. They died without knowing what happened. After their bodies were dissected, they became unknown. The family members only knew that they were missing. Without a body, they could not even die Sure.

As for the murderer who gets the money, he will live very well, and if he has no money, he will live in hell. He may even die of starvation or freezing to death without money, and his body will be sold by unscrupulous businessmen and replaced by money.

Among them, two people who specialized in killing people and then stealing corpses were discovered and exposed when committing crimes. One was caught and sentenced to hang, and his body was sent for autopsy. His skeleton is still in a special place, even the human skin After being ripped off and made into a wallet, another person escaped and disappeared.

It is precisely because more and more people are murdered and corpses become commodities, which eventually promotes legal reform, that the business of buying and selling corpses has gradually disappeared.As a medical student, her Ling Xiao naturally knew the whole situation, and when she thought about it, it was naturally impossible to be the first person to eat crabs.

Although it is possible to be famous in history, it is more likely to become a person who is despised. She oppresses and considers that this is the body of the original owner. If she does this, what will happen if the original owner returns?Pay attention to this point.

In addition, she is also afraid that more problems will arise because of her. You must know that there are many slaves in this world. What if someone thinks that slaves are not human, what should they do if they directly perform a vivisection?
Don't think this is an exaggeration. There used to be a place dedicated to dissecting corpses somewhere in the Middle Ages. There were many curious people there who liked to watch dissecting corpses. There were always people who were very unique.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao immediately dispelled this idea. You must know that in the ancient master-slave relationship, there was no emphasis on equality or human rights.In the eyes of the master, servants are equal to or worse than their own cattle and horses, so if someone wants to dissect them, maybe they will do so.

In addition, Ling Xiao also knows one thing. In many cases, there is a proposal to do a good thing, but because the crooked monk recites bad scriptures, the good thing eventually turns into a bad thing, and becomes a weapon to oppress the common people.

There are too many similar situations. The former Wang Anshi discovered a problem, that is, land is increasingly concentrated in the hands of big landlords, especially bureaucratic big landlords, and they often don’t pay anything.

As a country dominated by agriculture, once the taxes on the land cannot be collected, it will lead to no money in the treasury. The Song Dynasty is known as a very wealthy dynasty. In fact, there is not much money in the treasury, and it is concentrated in the hands of various big landlords. inside.

Wang Anshi was ready to reform, and vigorously promoted many new methods such as the Green Crop Law and Land Equalization. Unfortunately, the reform was clearly well-intentioned, but the people below used various tricks when implementing it, which eventually led to the failure of the reform.

For example, Wang Anshi felt that all the common people were so poor that they didn’t even have the money to buy seeds. It would be better to let them pay the seed money on credit first, and then pay the seed money after they planted and harvested the crops. This is the young crop method.

The new law including the Green Crop Law, because it wants to get part of the profits from the big landlords and return it to the national treasury, has touched the interests of the bureaucratic class from the beginning, so those who implement the new law will try to take advantage of the loopholes. Squeezing your own people, ultimately the reform failed, and Wang Anshi was powerless to recover.

The implementation of the new law did not make the life of the common people better, because through the manipulation of local officials, all the harvest of the common people was confiscated. Go, it's nice to be alive.

The prosperity of the Song Dynasty is a distant dream for most people. The only possibility to become rich is to become an official!This also led the Chinese people to want to be an official.

In this form, Ling Xiao feels wrong if he imagines it. If someone knows that dissecting the human body is conducive to understanding the structure of the human body, I am afraid that many people will die because of it. The kind of people who feel that they can get money quickly in order to sell corpses to the research institute, don’t Just reach out to innocent passers-by in the end?Kill people while they are staying in the store.

What's more, in Kyushu, there are also people who make money from death. Ling Xiao remembered that in modern society, there are still people who marry yin relatives for a reason, which leads to some single people being matched with yin relatives for no reason after death.

In fact, some people found that the marriage of the dead can make a lot of money, and after some people killed people, they sold the corpses.As for the other party, they don't care what the reason for the bought corpse is, as long as it is a dead person.

Even though it is repeatedly reminded that this situation is wrong in many places, there are still some people who match up with yin relatives, and some people do this for money. Sometimes for money, everything can be sold.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao suddenly lost the idea of ​​asking everyone to dissect the corpse. She was afraid that what she opened was a Pandora's box, which would cause innocent people to die, so she should not open this opening easily.

Ling Xiao hated 7 Sany's behavior from the bottom of her heart, and naturally she would not accept the situation of vivisection, so she finally gave up this idea, and began to look for opportunities to teach them something on the battlefield.

In addition, Ling Xiao was going to cheat. You must know that there are surgical operations in Chinese medicine. Hua Tuo once said that there is only one way to cure Cao Cao's headache, and that is to prescribe surgery.

Ling Xiao was a little speechless, because this was a craniotomy!It belongs to brain surgery, and those who can do it are very capable, but how was it done in ancient times?Did you use a chisel to open the hole?Without blood transfusion and anesthesia, basically he couldn't survive, and the pain would kill him.

But Ling Xiao did remember that there was an ancient man who had a craniotomy and made a hole in the skull. In the end, that person lived for several years, making Ling Xiao wonder who performed the surgery?Very arrogant.

After thinking about it for a while, Ling Xiao was going to perform a surgical operation in the name of her ancestors, instead of vigorously advocating some kind of human anatomy. She felt that something would go wrong if she did this.

Anyway, she doesn't dare to act rashly now, and she should follow the normal path of traditional Chinese medicine.It is good to be able to teach part of surgery, but the issue of dissecting cadavers must not be allowed to arise first, and we will wait for the science to develop to that point.

So even if the trained doctors escaped, most of them should not be able to accept the operation of dissecting a corpse. After receiving the news, they planned to go to Yuantao to help, and all of them were gearing up and preparing to go.

Ling Xiao soon received the news, and Changkong brought back the news that the son was coming here, and asked her to pay attention to the situation that should be paid attention to. When Ling Xiao heard it, he naturally prepared related actions.

And Prince Yan also received the news: the gates of the city will be sealed off, and the people of Yuantao City will not be allowed to go out. The outbreak of the plague will not allow people to leave the city. At the same time, everyone should pay attention to protective measures. Even if there is no gauze mask, use other things to surround the city. It is still possible.

This time it proved that the so-called infection is transmitted through the air, and the symptoms of the sick people are relatively uniform: high fever, other symptoms are not too many, some people will vomit, and the possibility of viral cold is relatively high.

But now there is no electron microscope, so naturally it is impossible to determine what type of microorganism it is. As a doctor, the best headache is to encounter a new type of virus, because there is no previous experience as a reference, so you can only move forward.

At this moment, Ling Xiao hopes that the virus this time belongs to the flu category. Of course, it must be considered that the flu is bird flu, which leads to weak body resistance and too strong toxicity.
