Chapter 1036 Physicians
Although the troops led by Chen Jiujing and Li Dan are the third-rate troops of the Eastern Army, the supporting officers, military doctors, warships, and infantry instructors for the two godsons are all first-rate.

The Enemy of Hades mentioned by Chen Jiujing was named Li Wei, who was over fifty years old, and a Confucian heirloom from Nanfeng, Jiangxi. Even though he had been with these big bosses for several years, he couldn't hide his literati temperament, and he didn't look like a Doctors, on the contrary, seem to have more retired local officials.

He has an elder brother who is much older than him named Li Qiao, who was a Jinshi in Jiajing. In the medical books of the past dynasties, I studied various medical theories carefully, and found my life goal in practicing medicine to save lives, so I didn't take the imperial examination again.

When I was in Long Qingnian, I recalled the difficulties I encountered when I first learned medicine when I was young. Some medical books are very good, but they are all in one set, and it is difficult to read through; Some books are easy to learn but too simple, and can only be used as an introduction; some books are too old, and many things are not available, and the meaning is also the meaning of the ancients, so you can't learn it.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

The old man simply kept himself at home for four years, and wrote a set of "Introduction to Medicine" in the third year of Wanli and published it to benefit the younger generations who are interested in studying medicine.

Accidentally, he won the Wanli Medical Award two years later and was invited to Beiyang Medical Academy.

I was not idle in Beiyang. After reading the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that Li Shizhen was compiling, I admired it and devoted myself to promoting this set of folk herbal medicines as official herbal medicines. Although there is only one word difference, the meaning is completely different.

Minxiu herbal medicine is Li Shizhen's dilemma. With only one person's efforts, he compiled a set of reference books that wanted to cover the correct use of herbs and medicinal stones throughout the history of medicine.

A piece of grass, from the name to the historical evolution, from the place of origin to the harvesting and processing, from the efficacy to the clinical application, and not only lists the ancients’ viewpoints in the commonly used prescriptions, but also clarifies their own understanding—let’s not talk about whether it’s feasible or not. In terms of price, you have one person for the rest of your life, did you make it well?

too difficult.

Officially edited herbal books are different, such as "Tang Herbs", the empire uses the power of the whole country, and dozens of doctors conduct investigations, inferences, summaries, and compilations across the country. Even if a doctor is stationed in a province, he can use power to mobilize everything. strength to accomplish this.

If it is rigorous enough, and the official herbal medicine does not even need any hearsay, it can be verified word by word, so what kind of brilliance should such a set of pharmacopoeia shine?

Li Hakama contributed to this matter, and also contributed to his own going to sea.

The young and ambitious emperor said that the empire would not only start editing the Pharmacopoeia in two capitals and thirteen provinces, but also in Luzon, in Sulu, in Malacca, in Japan, in the Atlantic Ocean and the Great East Ocean, in heaven and earth, Complete this great cause in all the lands where the Son of Heaven has come and is about to come.

Li Wei, a first-class doctor of the Beiyang Military Hospital, nicknamed Yan Wangdi, he and his four second-class doctors and 22 third-class doctors were the ones sent by the imperial court to complete this mission in the New World in the sixth year of Wanli. He knew very well what happened next. The rest of my life will be dedicated to this.

Yan Wangdi followed Li Dan to collect the herbs and prescriptions of Europa, but Chen Jiujing was fighting, and as the best military doctor, he was naturally sent here.

"General, trauma is not fatal. High fever persists and coma is not common in the army. This is a sign of evil poison entering the body. The cause of the disease is blood loss and vital energy. Dirty, unwashed, boiled linen and paste on the wound The dirt in it is poisonous."

Yan Wangdi had a faint smell of smoke on his body, he said casually, while the two students following him took notes, and at the same time removed the black, red, white and rice mixed sackcloth wrapped around Henry's body, he cupped his hands at Chen Jiujing, while Wash your hands from the basin next to it, and then said: "Wash the wound, goug out the rotten flesh, cultivate...change to a clean basin."

After washing his hands halfway through, Yan Wangdi discovered that the washbasin was actually made of bread. It may have been used to hold soup, and it was dry and hard. Even though the students had washed it several times, the light from the wall smashed by Chen Jiujing was still Can shine a light on the floating residue in the bowl.

The students didn't argue, they put down the bread bowl and went downstairs. After a while, they heard the sound of horses getting on from downstairs. Yan Wangdi hurriedly called to the students who wanted to go back to the camp on the broken wall, and said, "That's all. , come up."

Many people were already gathered downstairs, and the sound of smashing the wall attracted them. The battle that just ended outside the city not long ago did not affect these Bordeaux citizens. They heard that the pagans in the building were saving the King of Navarre, so they rushed over. Watch the fun.

That was already the cleanest basin-shaped item that the small military doctors nearby could find, and it wasn't that there weren't any cleaner ones, the tin basin was very clean.

But because of a cognition originated from Chen Mu, the military doctors refused to use these tin products before they could tell whether they contained lead or not. Drake had previously sold lead kettles to Chang Sheng, and no one could be sure. Is it only the fools in England who do this or the whole of Europa is like this.

In the end, Yan Wangdi didn't use the basin, so he unscrewed the cover of the shochu jar and asked the students to put the poison on their hands, and then used strong wine to clean the wound of Henry who was lying down. To prove that he is still alive.

Yan Wangdi murmured his guilt twice, turned his head and put a piece of carrion on the plate held by the student, then turned his head and asked Chen Jiujing, "General, how can the wounded drink?"

When Chen Jiujing asked Margaret, Margaret didn't know either, even though they had been married for several years, but she hadn't lived with Henry for a long time at all, so she could only say uncertainly: "It seems that she is very good at drinking. .”

"Sir, take your time, they are drinking wine." Chen Jiujing rolled the tobacco leisurely with the paper in his pocket, and said with a smile, "Don't be shot to death by an arrow, but ended up being stuffed to death with medical wine."

Chen Jiujing explained to Margaret: "It's not that our wine is very strong, but rice wine needs to be transported too much to satisfy the soldiers, and soldiers in the north have to use shochu to keep out the cold, and the wine used by military doctors is even stronger. Our soldiers in Majiagang can drink too much."

As he was speaking, Yan Wangdi had already mixed the internal medicine powder with two taels of shochu and poured it down for Henry, and then continued to debride the wound, and explained to the two students beside him: "The pus in the wound can be quite large. The blood is strong and weak, and pus is the product of evil poison and qi and blood, which is yellow and white, if it is thick and tasteless, the amount is small, then the qi and blood are full; if the pus is thin and suppurates slowly, it means the qi and blood are weak."

"If the yin and blood stagnate like this, and there is no pus in the wound, it means that the qi and blood are exhausted, which is the sign of gangrene. If the qi and blood of the wound are blocked, the granulation will not regenerate, and the rot will not be decomposed until the pus is festered... Oh, there is also a wood thorn .”

The first-class doctor cleaned the wound, sprinkled it with medicinal powder, removed the wooden thorns inserted in the wound and placed it on a wooden plate, put the doctor's knife on the plate, washed his hands with spirits, and instructed the students to bandage again. Here I wiped my hands, took the rolled cigarette from Chen Jiujing's hand and put it in my mouth very naturally, then I cupped my hands at the young general and said: "General, the wounded are fine, just the servant Help him drink more water, drink alcohol today and sleep well, and he will be able to wake up tomorrow."

"It's not a big deal in itself. General Yang's subordinates don't know much about wounds like this. It's just that the local doctors are poorly skilled. Firstly, there is an arrow pierced in the flesh, and secondly, it is not clean. This makes the appearance of danger appear."

Saying that, Yan Wangdi cupped his hands again, and said: "If there is no other important matter, I will leave my disciple here. After smoking this cigarette, I will go to the military medical camp outside the city for treatment."
