Song Dynasty

Chapter 177

It was already very late at night, and Wang Shen rode his horse and led the guards to a small village called Linjiazhuang.

Here is a valley at the bottom of a small hill, and a small stream flows down from the hill, forming a pond in the valley.Unlike other places where the dry land is dry for thousands of miles, this place is lush with plants, and it is actually a treasured place of geomantic omen with beautiful mountains and rivers.

A wind blows across the pond water, accompanied by the sound of frogs, and the sweat has been absorbed, which makes people feel indescribably refreshing.

This place was originally the manor of a big family in Qichun, and it was temporarily confiscated by the Sizhou Army as soon as the war started, and it was used to house the wounded.

Lamps were lit everywhere in the manor, and soldiers and doctors and stout women who worked came and went.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes, Zhuangzi's door opened, and Du Shu came out, took the reins of Wang Shen's horse, and said with a smile, "Military envoy, you have come all the way, and it's been a hard journey. How's the battle at the front line, let's go ?"

Wang Shen: "The front line is still the same. Our army will not attack these days, and Kong Yanzhou has no strength to fight back. It seems that everyone will rest for a while. Whenever you are worried about the sick soldiers, come here to see if you are on the other side. How's it going?"

Du Shu's face was gloomy: "What else can I do? It's still the same as before. These soldiers usually look like ordinary people, but they can't tell when they will get sick. Daosi, can you come up with a solution?"

Wang Shen: "Just for this matter, I came here specially."

Yes, this is a sanatorium for soldiers with severe war syndrome.

Linjiazhuang is about twenty miles away from Qichun, and the environment is quiet, which can temporarily relieve the tense nerves of the soldiers.Du Shu was in charge of appeasing the soldiers. After receiving Wang Shen's military order, he brought the soldiers and the Langzhong here. It has been two days so far, and finally everything has been straightened out.

Du Shu: "Please in Daosi, allow me to report in detail."

After entering the hall, what Du Shu reported was simply shocking.There are as many as 64 soldiers who suffer from severe war symptoms and tend to be violent.Among them, there were seven soldiers from the Sizhou Army, and the rest were captive soldiers.This is just the tip of the iceberg. Just imagine, those mild patients who haven't shown up yet don't know how many there are.

At this moment, it is the Shen time, which is exactly the human time, that is, between [-]:[-] p.m. and [-]:[-] p.m. Beijing time in later generations.

The ancients worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, and there were no recreational activities, so they generally went to bed early.

The whole manor seemed very quiet, only the sound of frogs and insects could be heard endlessly.

After listening, Wang Shen nodded and asked, "Did the soldier take the medicine?"

Du Shu replied: "The doctor cut the pulses of the soldiers, and prescribed prescriptions according to the different conditions of the soldiers. They are all medicines for calming the nerves, calming shock and helping sleep."

As he spoke, he opened the drawer, took a few prescriptions from it and handed it over.

Although Wang Shen didn't know medical books, he still knew the basics. He also knew the pharmacology of the medicines in it, such as cinnabar, but they were symptomatic.After looking at it, I felt that something was wrong, so I said, "This medicine is a bit heavy, can I ask the doctor if he can reduce it by half?"

Du Shu asked suspiciously, "Daosi, this serious illness requires strong medicine. As far as I know, some soldiers' condition is already very serious. If we reduce the dosage, we don't know when they will recover?"

"Healing, once a soldier's mentality is traumatized, it will be entangled for a lifetime. Healing can't be done, and self-regulation is often required." Wang Shen sighed lightly: "It's three poisons of medicine. It's not good to take too much. Let's do it." !” As far as he knows, when treating war wounds, later generations use low-dose sedative and sleeping pills to deal with severe anxiety or repeated insomnia, so as to avoid drug dependence.

Of course, there was no such thing as drug abuse in ancient times, but many important drugs in traditional Chinese medicine, such as cinnabar and mercury, are very toxic to internal organs, especially the liver and kidneys, and the dosage must be strictly controlled.

Du Shu: "Alright!"

Wang Shen: "How many guards and doctors are there in Zhuangzi?"

Du Shu: "There are thirty guards, four doctors, ten nurses, and three firemen."

"Very good, pass my order and take good care of the patients." Wang Shen took out a piece of paper full of words from his sleeve and handed it to Du Shu: "Yozhi, this is a charter I drafted. To form a system, I first Say it."

He cleared his throat and said: "As for how to treat soldiers, first of all, it is immediate treatment. That is to say, once a soldier becomes ill, he must be properly dealt with as soon as possible. Guards, doctors, and nurses must immediately control the patient, so as not to He hurt others or himself. When necessary, soldiers can be given a certain amount of medicine and alcohol to calm them down."

"That's imprisoned, I understand." Du Shu nodded: "In the past two days, several soldiers have fallen ill. I locked them in the room first, and then released them after they calmed down."

Wang Shen: "Second point, you should also talk to patients more on weekdays and enlighten them more. Don't treat them as patients, but as family members and friends."

"How?" Several civil servants around Du Shu couldn't help asking curiously.

Another person said: "Military envoy, it's not like we haven't comforted them, but it's really useless!"

Wang Shen said: "That's because you didn't talk right. Whenever something happens, the first thing you think of is to control the patient so as not to cause trouble. In fact, this person's emotions sometimes need to be vented. For example, a child who suffers When you are angry, you will cry. As long as you finish crying, you will feel relaxed and comfortable. The so-called blockage is worse than sparseness, all you need to do is to listen to the patient's talk and let them say what is backlogged in their hearts."

Wang Shen: "Besides, when you persuade me, don't say something like 'sorry, by the way', 'it's no big deal.', 'comrades and companions were killed in battle, but you're still alive, aren't you?'"

A civil official asked curiously: "Military envoy, why can't you say such a thing?"

Wang Shen patiently explained: "To put it bluntly, these patients have seen too many dead people on the battlefield, or have killed people themselves, and they have a serious psychological burden. After all, people are not livestock. Seeing a living person die No one can be calm when they are by their side, or when they are killed by their own sword. Whether he kills the enemy, or sees his comrades die in front of their eyes, and they are powerless to kill themselves, they all have a very deep sense of guilt. Feel Others are dead, why am I still alive? Because of this, many people have the urge to kill or self-mutilate. If you persuade me like this again, it will add fuel to the fire."

"Ah, there is such a saying." The civil servants were dumbfounded, and at the same time, they felt a sense of enlightenment.

Xu Mou, after figuring this out, everyone nodded at the same time: "The military envoy is a great talent, one word awakens the dreamer."
