Chapter 513 Medical Clothes
"That's right, that's it! In the future, people will say that the first medical service of the military doctor of Ming Dynasty was done in Yangon!"

Cheng Hongyuan is wearing a beige cotton dress with a collar on the right lapel and a belt on the sleeve. The hem of the dress is one foot below the waist, and the calf is also wrapped. He wears a turban, a cotton mask, and cloth gloves.

Wide cloth belt, waist bag, backpack, waist bag with several medicine bottle pouches and three small scabbards, three standard military gold wound trauma scalpels, backpack with simple bandages made of breathable cotton cloth, clean towels, and surgical apron And all kinds of medicine and surgical equipment.

Both sleeves and helper belts are made of red-dyed cloth, and the medicine is written in ink. A piece of cloth is sewn on the chest, indicating the weaving and identity.

The old doctor felt uncomfortable in the new clothes, and asked Chen Mu with bitterness and hatred on his face, "Marshal, is this outfit feasible?"

"Okay, that's great." Chen Mu was very satisfied, and said: "The so-called etiquette system is the etiquette system and specific regulations. To let people know the system, you must first distinguish it from the manners. Although the previous military doctors have skills, But it looks no different from ordinary people, now, the spirit is neat, the key is to be clean, clean can prevent diseases before they happen."

"You have read the specific regulations for military doctors, go back and see if there are any deficiencies, add them, and then report them to me. If there is no problem, send someone to copy them, and then distribute them among medical craftsmen, and set them as military regulations." Chen Mu said. Cheng Hongyuan said: "Don't think that the clothes are too tight. You can only prevent mosquito bites if you cover them tightly. You are the benefactors of the Banner Army on the battlefield, so you must be more conspicuous... What's wrong with you?"

Seeing Chen Mu's self-satisfied expression, Cheng Hongyuan didn't want to argue too much with him, so he just raised his white-gloved hands and said, "It doesn't matter anything else, only these gloves are used for surgery. Afraid of affecting the activity."

"The old man has also considered the disinfection mentioned by the commander-in-chief. Is it possible to not wear it at ordinary times, and wear it when it is used, otherwise it will be dirty at ordinary times, and it will be worse if it is operated on by the flag army at that time. It is better not to wear it."

"Yes!" Chen Mu nodded one after another, walked happily in the handsome tent for a few times, and then said: "That's it, I don't usually wear it, I wash it and put it in my pocket for safekeeping, and then take it out and wear it when I need it—since There is no problem with this outfit, so I will order Zengzao and the banner army to be isolated, how about it?"

"Master, it's time to take medicine."

While Chen Mu was talking, Cheng Hongyuan handed over wine soup and pills.

Cheng Hongyuan and his apprentices rush to make the new medicinal herbs sent by Malacca. Because the malaria-cutting pills are short, he has to take them all the time. Sometimes in order to absorb the medicine, he has to drink a little wine to dissolve the medicine, which makes him very tired. He even I don't know if I have malaria, but I still need to take medicine.

After drinking the wine mixed with pills, Cheng Hongyuan said: "The medicinal herbs were delivered in time, most of the bannermen were safe, and the three isolation barracks were fully prepared for deworming. The infection that Chen Shuai said was also contained, but the cure will take at least seven days. Since yesterday, the flag army has used drugs, and no one has committed suicide all day and night."

Since the outbreak of malaria in the army, the quarantine and the lack of mosquito control in the first few days allowed the malaria to spread wantonly in the army. When it was discovered that nearly a thousand people had been infected, the high cold and high fever, and then the sick barracks were isolated. In just ten days Today, nearly three hundred banner troops under his command have died of various diseases.

It was almost as fast as the sum of the banner troops killed in battle between him and Mo Jingdian for several months.

First, the medicine did not arrive, and some people had a fever and burned their brains, and they went crazy; then some people had cramps when they got sick, and they cramped and died while screaming in rage.

Panic spread not only in the isolation barracks, but also among the healthy bannermen in the three camps. All kinds of rumors were flying everywhere, saying that they killed too many people, bad retribution, bad luck, or even Mang Yinglong cursed them , Therefore, there have been those who spread rumors to disturb the morale of the army and were killed by military law.

Those who are not sick are afraid of this, let alone those who are already sick. Some people escape from the isolation camp, some people take advantage of the war and leave the camp at night, and they will die if they are caught by patrol sentries.

There are also those who simply committed suicide in the isolation camp. Two days before the delivery of the medicinal herbs, people were still fine at night, and in the morning when the flag army delivered the food, either someone hanged himself in this barracks, or someone secretly wiped his neck in that barracks, at most one day 23 people died because of this alone.

The medicines in the luggage in those two days didn't matter whether they worked or not, but Chen Mu poured them into his stomach whenever the medical prescription was right. Qi Jun's mood also affected him, and he was also afraid that he would suffer from such a disease.

After pouring, vomiting and diarrhea, I covered myself tightly and went to the isolation camp, encouraging the sick flag soldiers one by one, telling them that I would save everyone, and told them not to violate military laws or commit suicide .

In fact, there were only more than 30 Banner soldiers killed by malaria, and more of them were fear and despair. Song led his own soldiers to protect him properly, and several times Chen Mu would have died in the hands of his own soldiers.

Without medicine, he couldn't do anything but promise nothing that would actually work.

But even so, he still had to go to the isolation barracks five times and three times. That was the only way he could save the lives of more of his subordinates before the herbs were delivered.

It wasn't until the herbs were delivered, the first batch of pills were sent to the isolation camp, and some people got better due to the treatment, that they completely stabilized the mood of the sick Banner soldiers. It doesn't mean that the medicine can absolutely cure every Banner soldier, but at least they can see With a little hope, Cheng Hongyuan told Chen Mu that even if he had enough medicine, at least [-]% of the Banner Army could not be rescued.

But it was enough for Chen Mu to breathe a sigh of relief, as long as there is hope.

After drinking the medicine, Chen Mu sighed for a long time, and then said to Cheng Hongyuan: "This time to isolate the banner army, the way to treat malaria must be passed down, not only in the army, but also sent back to the country - this is still through mosquitoes Infectious malaria, we will meet the real plague in the future."

The smallpox that Europeans sent to America, and the plague that would break out in the Central Plains in the future, were more terrifying than malaria.

But in this small-scale malaria outbreak, there are many things that are worth seeing from the small, such as curbing the spread of fear, isolating patients, cutting off the source of the disease, timely delivery of symptomatic drugs and food, which step has a problem, this time Small-scale malaria will evolve into large-scale malaria transmission.

If they withdraw from the army at this time, it is very likely that they will bring malaria back to Nanyang and Guangzhou, and then further expand the number of patients.

"Save as many flag soldiers as possible. They have been in the army for several years, not because they died of malaria. I need them to live, and their families also need them to live."

Just when Chen Mu got up and walked out of the tent to call Juniper and other family members to prepare to re-enter the isolation camp, he received a battle report from the sea, which melted away the sorrow between Chen Mu's brows like strong wine and medicine.

"Wuqiao won. Tingda led the crowd through the sea of ​​fire to attack the city pass and seize the fortress! They have captured the mouth of the river and sailed on the river to threaten Baigu City. When our flag army recovers from illness, they can attack Baigu from both directions. !"
