Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 579 I promised to give the military doctor, but the Russian military doctor

To be honest, although he admired Batu very much, Batu was an enemy of his father and the entire Daqian Empire, so Zhang Dingguan wanted to destroy him more.

After Batu was hit by the specially made arrow, his life was in danger. If he pulled out the sword, the bleeding would not stop and he might die in a few hours. If he did not pull out the arrow, the wound would become seriously infected and he would die in a few days.

If they could have delayed the battle for a few days, Batu would have been dead. Unfortunately, this time, the members of the Ogedei family rashly pursued the enemy and were led into an ambush, where more than 10,000 soldiers were annihilated.

Another prince and three thousand households were captured, which made him very distressed. If he sent a military doctor over, Batu would get treatment, and more importantly, the treatment method would definitely be learned by the Golden Horde.

All the special surgical techniques, treatment methods, disinfection methods, and even the miraculous medicine prepared by his father would be learned, because the Golden Horde would not send back the military doctors they sent in a friendly manner.

In other words, he did not force his military doctor to tell him the formula of allicin, or even a higher level of penicillin. His father had said that allicin should be used at the right time.

You can give it to your vassal states to configure, but penicillin must not be revealed to anyone. It is the empire's absolute core secret.

But if he didn't send a military doctor over and didn't agree to the other party's conditions, and just waited until Batu died of illness, it would be a troublesome thing afterwards.

First of all, he did not help the Ogedei family, which gave others a handle to use against him. The Ogedei family wanted to establish their own khanate here in the future.

If at that time, like the Golden Horde, they were unwilling to communicate with the Great Qian Empire, and even cut off the trade routes between the East and the West, then the gains would be greater than the losses.

And the most crucial thing is that this time the Western Expedition army included as many as 50,000 soldiers from the Ogedei family, as well as a large number of Mongolian soldiers.

I could have chosen not to rescue them before, because it was the people of Ogedei's family who asked for it and I had already dissuaded them, but now the prince has been captured.

All it took was a military doctor to get the prince back. This was a very good deal, at least in the eyes of ordinary Mongolian soldiers and the family of Ogedei.

How can the life of a military doctor be compared to that of a Mongolian prince? If I don't save him.

Zhang Dingguan knew without a doubt that the Golden Horde would publicize this matter and take this opportunity to undermine his reputation.

At that time, he would keep throwing dirty water on himself and make the army of the Ogedei family alienated from himself. You know, the Ogedei family has been suppressed by his father over the years.

There was a lot of resentment towards the Daqian Empire from top to bottom, but because their father was too powerful, the princes of the Ogedei family dared not speak out.

If he didn't save people this time, he would offend the family of Ogedei again. The most important thing was that he had a very good relationship with his uncle Guyuk.

He had already felt sorry for Uncle Guiyou, and now he was not going to save his brother. This made Zhang Dingguan feel guilty.

"Crown Prince! Don't you really care about the lives of the princes of the Ogedei family? The one who shot and injured our Khan was a member of the Ogedei family." Seeing Zhang Dingguan's hesitation, the envoy of the Golden Horde immediately spoke.

He was reminding Zhang Dingguan that you have to understand that the person who shot and injured my Khan this time was not one of your men, but someone from the family of Ogedei.

"Messenger, you are also tired from the journey. Please rest here for one night. I will give you a reply tomorrow at noon." Zhang Dingguan said.

He remembered what his father once said: In some things, the enemy is anxious, but you are not.

Then he could completely delay the time, so he planned to let the messenger stay for one night and then think about the matter carefully himself.

"No! Grand Prince! I am not afraid to tell you that I came here with the determination to die. No matter what, I must bring the military doctor back.

If you agree to our request, send me a military doctor right now, and I will return to the Golden Horde overnight. Otherwise, the middle king of the Ogedei family will be beheaded after tonight. "The messenger said.

His master Badu won't be able to hold on for too long. He was shot by an arrow. If the arrowhead is not pulled out, the rust inside will infect the wound, and the wound will fester within a few days. By then, even a god will be unable to save him.

"How should I know? After I send out the military doctor, will you detain my military doctor and send back the prince of the Ogedei family? You, the Golden Horde, have always been untrustworthy." Zhang Dingguan said.

That's what you're doing, right? You're even threatening me.

It is impossible for me to give you the military doctor I took a photo of now. If you don't hand over the king of the Ogedei family to me, I will lose a military doctor in vain, and even give you the magical medicine allicin for nothing.

"We in the Golden Horde have always valued credit and have never broken our promises to anyone."

"Hahaha! How funny! He has never broken his promise to anyone! Batu clearly said that he would marry his eldest daughter to my brother, and our two families would become relatives by marriage, but what was the result?

My brother-in-law was killed. Originally, our two families cooperated to run the trade route between the East and the West. Your Golden Horde repeatedly increased tariffs, but we didn't say anything.

But what was the result? Your Batu Khan actually closed the trade route privately and completely cut off the trade route. "Zhang Dingguan said.

"If the person who came was the biological son of Mongolian prince Zhang Yong, then our Golden Horde would definitely welcome him with the highest courtesy and marry the princess to him.

But he is just a barbarian! He is not even a noble. It was your father Zhang Yong who played tricks on our family's Batu Khan, and Batu Khan killed him.

As for the closure of the East-West trade route, do I need to explain this? Genghis Khan, Ogedei Khan, and Guyuk Khan, all three of them were very good to Zhang Yong.

But Zhang Yong stole the position of our Mongolian Khan, seized the property of the Golden Family, and now sent troops to attack our Golden Horde. How dare you say that?" The envoy of the Golden Horde said.

They, the Golden Horde, would never think that they were wrong. It was all Zhang Yong's fault!
Zhang Yong should not have deceived Batu Khan by simply adopting a son and sending him over, and he should not have stolen the throne of the Great Khan of Mongolia.

"Humph! My father was appointed the Great Khan of Mongolia by Khan Guyuk himself. Moreover, after my father became the Great Khan of Mongolia, the lives of the Mongolian people on the grasslands became better. Isn't this a credit?
What's more, my father is a member of the Golden Family and a messenger from heaven. It is only natural for him to inherit the throne of the Great Khan of Mongolia. What's wrong with that?
As for the marriage, you were the ones who did the bad first. Even Batu's son died after my brother-in-law was killed. My father has done his utmost.

If Batu really wanted a marriage, he should have sent his daughter here. If he had done so, this war would not have happened, and I would not have led my army to this land. "Zhang Dingguan said.

You still dare to talk back at me now? When Batu's envoys came to the East, they were extremely arrogant and even threatened him with his father's illegitimate son.

Moreover, it was you, the Golden Horde, who were the first to break off relations. Originally, Batu's son was only imprisoned, but it was you, Batu, who took the initiative and colluded with the Tolui family many times in an attempt to seize the position of Khan.

What's more, during the two Western Expeditions, my father showed kindness to you many times, and even when Batu was young, my father was kind to you. But how did you repay my father?

Take his kindness for granted, and his kindness and strategy as a matter of course. Your father has done his best for your Jochi family.

During the second Western Expedition, if you had had a little respect for my father and were willing to listen to his advice instead of helping Mongke,

Things wouldn't have come to this point, and your Golden Horde wouldn't have suffered a devastating disaster.

"There's no point in talking any more, you can't convince me, and I can't convince you!

Now I want to ask you a question, will you send a military doctor to give us a quick cure?" the envoy of the Golden Horde said.

"I can send a military doctor, but you have to send the Mongolian prince of the Ogedei family here first. After I pick up the King of Zhong, I will let the military doctor go with you. After the task is completed, you let the three thousand households return with my military doctor." Zhang Dingguan said.

After all, the Ogedei family occupied a quarter of the military force in this Western Expedition, and would even control this land in the future. After some consideration, Zhang Dingguan still felt that some discordant voices should not be allowed to appear in the army, and the people still had to be rescued.

But how to save it is an art.

"We can send a thousand households here first, but as for the Mongolian prince, we have to wait until the military doctor arrives before we can send him back." The envoy of the Golden Horde said.

The Mongolian prince was their last resort, and the thousand households were dispensable. "Go back and inform the person who is in charge now, and tell him to send the prince back, or forget about this matter, and get out!" Zhang Dingguan snorted coldly and ordered someone to beat the envoy out.

Batu can't hold out for a few days. I have plenty of time to delay, and what about you? You guys can delay for me.

The messenger gritted his teeth, mounted his horse, and headed towards the military camp in the valley. The two sides were not far away from each other, and he could return to his own territory in two hours.

"Commander, do we really need to send a military doctor over?" asked a Han army general.

Your Majesty has always strictly protected military doctors. From the establishment of the military medical system to the present, no military doctor has ever left them, and the formula of the miracle medicine has never been leaked.

This is not an easy thing to do! Although the kingship of the Ogedei family is very important, the magic medicine is equally important.

“You don’t have to say it anymore. We already have a better substitute for allicin.

Moreover, in the future, the emperor will share this thing with other vassal states. This has already been decided. "Zhang Dingguan waved his hand and said.

His father once talked to him privately that after you get all the good things, you must not keep them to yourself all the time. When new products are updated, you must immediately share the old products with others.

Only in this way will people be willing to follow you. If you keep all the benefits for yourself, you will not have a loyal ally.

What's more, when Ogedei was alive, the formula of allicin and even some gunpowder formulas had already been passed on to Ogedei's family. These things just did not fall into the hands of his enemies.

What's more, since taking power, his father has never stopped researching medicines.

The newly developed miracle drug penicillin is much more powerful than allicin, and the military doctors who can prepare penicillin are very closely protected.

Even a single military doctor cannot do it. Multiple military doctors are needed to operate it separately. Each of them masters part of the formula, and they can only be used together.

"But even so, we can't let our opponent get away with it so easily! What's more, there are still some tricks!"

Isn't it? Zhang Yong invented a few simple surgical techniques, combined with some disinfection methods, which can treat some serious injuries in this era.

There are a lot of good things in the barefoot doctor manual, not to mention a medical care and hygiene manual!

“Hahaha, I’ve made my own arrangements for the military doctor, don’t worry, he doesn’t know how to prepare allicin.

I will give him some finished products. I promised to send a doctor, but I didn't say it would be our own military doctor." Zhang Dingguan said.

Who said I was going to give them the allicin formula? And I wouldn't give them the surgical technique.

After camping outside the valley for a day and a night, the follow-up troops had already caught up. Zhang Dingguan immediately gave orders and found a military doctor among the local Russians.

Soon a doctor from the Russian army was found, and then a Han military doctor from the Western Expedition was found.

"Greetings, the eldest son of the great King John. Is there anything I can do for you?" asked the Russian military doctor.

The accompanying translator immediately translated the other party's words to Zhang Dingguan verbatim.

"Tell him not to worry for now. I have a very difficult task to give him later." Zhang Dingguan said.

The translator nodded and told the Russian military doctor what Zhang Dingguan meant. After comforting the Russians, Zhang Dingguan turned and looked at the Han doctor.

"Listen, you teach him now how to use allicin and how to treat this special arrow wound.

Just teach him the simple treatment methods and bandage techniques. Just teach him these two things. Don't teach him too much, understand?" Zhang Dingguan said.

Treating arrow wounds is just a basic skill. Even some ordinary soldiers have to learn how to treat some simple injuries for their teammates.

Therefore, the Western Expedition Army, or the current military system of the Daqian Empire, has a complete set of theories.

In just a few days, some people with a medical background can be taught first aid techniques, and although the Ross army's military doctor is not very good, he is still a military doctor after all.

Especially these European military doctors, who were very good at using axes, scissors and other tools, and it only took them one night to learn how to treat wounds.

"I know sir! I'll teach him how to handle it."

It just so happened that the army had just finished a battle and many soldiers were wounded by arrows. We could teach them on the spot and let them try it themselves.

For the entire night, the Han military doctor and the Russian military doctor treated more than a dozen sword and arrow wounds, and he personally performed the operations on several of them.

Finally, he was taught how to deal with this kind of arrow wounds, and how to use allicin. Later, he told Zhang Dingguan that he could barely become an apprentice, but his skill was limited to treating wounds caused by bows and arrows. He was still not able to treat other external injuries.

Zhang Dingguan nodded with great satisfaction when he heard this and said, "I don't need him to know anything else. These things are enough for him. It would be bad if he knew too much."

At dawn the next day, Batu's envoys once again came to the military camp at Zhangdingguan. This time they brought a blindfolded Mongolian prince.

Soon the group was invited to Zhang Dingguan's military camp, and the Mongolian prince was taken away by the members of Ogedei's family. The prince had a piece of cloth wrapped around his mouth, with traces of blood visible.

"My Khan said that he is willing to trust you once. Now the people have been sent here. Where is your military doctor? Bring your military doctor here immediately!" Batu's messenger said.

After he returned to the Golden Horde's military camp last night, a group of princes learned about this and started arguing.

Some people think that they cannot let him go, while others think that it is okay to take the risk for the sake of Khan's injuries.

Just when everyone was in a stalemate, news suddenly came that Batu Khan's condition had worsened. Batu Khan had a high fever and was unconscious.

After the accompanying military doctor examined the Khan, he informed the prince of the Golden Horde that if he was not treated, the Khan would die in two days at most.

There was no choice in this situation. Berke finally made the decision to let the envoy take the princes of the Ogedei family back to the military camp in Zhangdingguan.

"Of course I won't go back on my word." Zhang Dingguan smiled and glanced at the back. Military Doctor Ross gritted his teeth and stood up.

He was carrying a large medicine box on his back, which was prepared for him by the Han military doctor who taught him medicine the night before.

"Crown Prince, what do you mean? What I want is the military doctor of your Western Expedition army, not these Russians." The envoy of the Golden Horde said with a drastic change of expression.

They know very well what level these Western doctors are at. They are not even as good as the Persian doctors!
"Commander! We can't let them go. Look, look, my clan leader's tongue has been cut."

At this time, a large group of generals from the Ogedei family and the King of the Middle Kingdom ran over angrily, pointing at the envoys of the Golden Horde and shouting.

The person was sent back, but his tongue was cut off. What do you mean?

"Oh!" (End of chapter)
