Qin Official

Chapter 130 Military Doctor

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, military doctors of various countries already had their prototypes in the army. In the army of Qi State, there were "two alchemists who were responsible for hundreds of medicines to treat golden sores and cure all diseases." The same is true for the Qin State. Chen Wujiu is the person in charge of medicine in this army. It is said that he is from Xianyang, speaks with a strong Guanzhong accent, and has a close relationship with Yang Xiong's family.

Although Chen Wujiu kept urging Hei Fu to quickly demonstrate to him the technique of bandaging the East Gate Leopard, Hei Fu did not immediately agree to obey.

He insisted on visiting Dongmen Leopard first.

Chen Wujiu couldn't defeat this stubborn village chief, so he had to take him there.

Dongmen Leopard was lying on a couch in a tent. The conditions here were pretty good. At least it was clean. There was no sewage flowing across the tent, and there was no pus, blood and dirt everywhere. But if you take a closer look at the wounded and sick lying here, it is not difficult to find that there are hundreds of generals and camp commanders on the left and right. Huaimu, the camp commander who first climbed into the camp, is also here, but only Dongmen Leopard is very tall... …

Heifu immediately understood that this place did not take in all the sick and wounded, but gave priority to the treatment of nobles and officers. Ji Ying had just quietly told him that he had brought people to carry the East Gate Leopard here before, and if it had not been Chen Wujiu's eyes lit up when he saw the way Dongmen Leopard was bandaged, and he probably wouldn't even let them in.

This cannot be blamed on Chen Wujiu himself, because although he is a doctor accompanying the army, he mainly treats the generals and has no obligation to rescue all soldiers. After all, in the army of one or two thousand people, only Chen Wujiu and his Little apprentice, just two doctors...

After discovering that the East Gate Leopard was indeed not dead, and was already half asleep, it was just frowning and complaining of pain, and when he tested the skin, there were faint signs of fever.

"This doesn't mean your life is safe. The real danger is yet to come!"

Hei Fu sighed inwardly, and after going outside, he cupped his hands with Chen Wu Jiu.

"Dr. Chen asked me to demonstrate how to wrap wounds, but the subordinates found it difficult to do so because my skill was acquired by chance from a chance encounter when I was young..."

The mystery Heifu said immediately aroused Chen Wujiu's interest, and he began to ask who taught Heifu the bandaging technique.

Hei Fu made up random things and created an image for him of an old man who passed by Anlu and had an immortal demeanor. He also said that he injured his leg and foot when he was cutting firewood when he was young. It was the old man who treated him and taught him how to bandage the wound...

Chen Wujiu clicked his tongue in surprise: "Could this be a doctor who travels among the people and practices medicine?"

Doctors are also one of the hundreds of scholars in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, who specialize in studying medical skills, treating diseases and saving people.

The most famous figure in the medical family is undoubtedly Bian Que. However, Bian Que is not a person, but a title. Like the "giant" of the Mohist family, it is the name of the leader of the medical family.

These people were known as "Medicine Bian Que" and passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, their deeds ranged from Guo State in the early Spring and Autumn Period, Zhao Xiangzi in the late Spring and Autumn Period, Huan Hou of Tian Qi in the early Warring States Period, and continued to the era of King Wu of Qin, with a time span of four years. For more than a hundred years, the footprints of "Medical Bian Que" have spread all over the three Jin, Qin, Qi, Cai, and Chu states.

However, ninety years ago, the last doctor, Bian Que, was assassinated in Xianyang by the imperial physician of Qin who was jealous of his talent and talent, and the medical family lost its inheritance. Most of the famous doctors entered the court and attached themselves to the powerful. Only a few disciples and disciples who adhered to the ideal of medical treatment were scattered around the country and continued to treat diseases among the people.

Therefore, Chen Wu Jiu guessed that if what Hei Fu said was true, that old man might really be a descendant of a rare medical family in the world.

Because Heifu's method of bandaging the East Gate Leopard was a common battlefield rescue in later generations. But this is the essence summarized by countless medical staff in countless wars in modern times, and it has become extremely mature. In ancient times when medical skills were still in childhood, doctors of this era should not be so amazing?

So Chen Wujiu was fascinated when he first saw the wound dressing. In this era, there was already a saying of "wrap the wound before fighting again". When treating the wound, the wound would be wrapped with cloth, but it was very rough and casual, whether it was a triangle scarf or a Figure eight shape, or twisting stick, where has he seen such a perfect way to handle it?

Bian Que, a certain doctor, once said: "There are many diseases for people; there are few diseases for doctors." This means that what ordinary people worry about is that there are too many types of diseases, but what doctors worry about are not It’s because there are too few ways to treat the disease.

Knowing more about how to bind wounds would be a huge gain for doctor Chen Wujiu.

However, just when Chen Wu Jiu was becoming more and more interested, Hei Fu's next words poured cold water on him.

"The old man who taught me told me that this method can be kept in mind and used for self-rescue, but it must not be passed on to others..."

"As expected..."

Chen Wujiu was greatly disappointed, but he could understand in his heart, because the profession of medicine is most important to the inheritance of the master. After the last doctor Bian Que died due to jealousy of the Qin imperial physician, the medical family was scattered in name only, and different schools were wary of each other. , I cherish my broom.

Especially the secret recipe, which will never be shared!

You know, it is said that Bian Que, the first generation doctor, also went through more than ten years of testing when he became his teacher. Then Chang Sangjun was willing to teach him and told him: "I have a forbidden prescription. If you are old, , If you want to pass it on to you, please don’t let it slip!”

Therefore, it is understandable that the "old man" would ask Hei Fu to keep it secret.

This is an industry rule, and Chen Wujiu doesn't want to force it.

However, when he was about to give up, Heifu pretended to be hesitant and said: "Having said that, almost ten years have passed, and I don't know if the elder is still alive in the world. After thinking about it, this package The method of wounding is useless if only I know it, but it still needs to be spread, especially by doctors, so that more people can benefit."

Hei Fu handed over to Chen Wujiu, who was full of surprise: "Hei Fu is willing to demonstrate this method to Dr. Chen, but there are two conditions..."

"Are there any conditions?"

Chen Wujiu frowned and looked at Hei Fu up and down, thinking that he wanted to use this method to exchange for some benefits, money and silk, so he looked down on Hei Fu in his heart, but he still nodded: "Let's talk about it first. "

"First, in exchange for my demonstration of the wound-binding technique, I hope Dr. Chen can use the best golden sore medicine on Gong Shibao! How about ensuring that he survives?"

Jinshu medicine is a special Chinese medicine used to treat sword wounds. Yunnan Baiyao, which is common in later generations, is a type of Jinshu medicine, but it can only stop bleeding and relieve pain, and is far from as magical as described in some martial arts.

After hearing Heifu's "conditions", Chen Wujiu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "I see, Chief Heifu, you have been talking for a long time, it turns out that you are trying to get rid of the 'thousand gold medicine' in my hand. !”

Heifu knew when he was in Anlu County that doctors in this era have been divided into several professional categories.

There are food doctors, who are equivalent to nutritionists in later generations. They are only found in the palace or in the homes of big nobles. They are responsible for adjusting diets for princes and nobles, and treating their indigestion and gastrointestinal diseases after eating too much fish and meat.

There are disease doctors, which are the most common, treating headaches and brain fever.

There are veterinarians who, as the name suggests, specialize in treating livestock diseases.

There are pediatricians and obstetricians, corresponding to pediatrics and gynecology respectively.

There is also a yáng (yáng) doctor, who treats palm swellings, ulcers, golden ulcers, and broken ulcers with medicine, scraping, and killing... To put it bluntly, he is an ancient surgeon. The ulcer doctors specialize in treating people injured by swords and swords. They are also called golden ulcer doctors. Chen Wujiu in front of him is one of them.

Wrapping, acupuncture, medication, and scraping are the four healing techniques used by the Golden Sore Doctor, but Heifu only knows a little about battlefield rescue and dressing wounds to stop bleeding, which can only prevent Dongmen Leopard from bleeding to death. If he wants to recover, he must rely on the treatment of Chen Wujiu, the golden sore doctor.

However, when he visited the East Gate Leopard just now, Hei Fu understood that in this army of more than a thousand people, there were only two doctors, Chen Wujiu and his young apprentice, and they would not be able to take care of dozens or hundreds of wounded. He is only responsible for treating injuries of generals and military officials. As for the others, just deal with them casually.

Depending on the rank of the military officer, the level of care given by the doctors is also very different. Hei Fu could guess that Chen Wujiu would take good care of Yang Xiong and Zhang Yan (yi) and use the best medicine for sores; For generals and village chiefs, ordinary medicines are used; as for Dongmen Leopard, a special commander? Whether you are willing to take medicine or not is another question...

All Heifu were a little worried. Although Dongmen Leopard stopped bleeding and survived, his injuries were not serious and he might die from gangrene one day!

In ancient times, there was no way to fight infection and tetanus. Once a wound was infected, the wounded had to rely on their own resistance to survive the infection period. The so-called "death from gangrene" was actually death caused by complications caused by wound infection. Therefore, in the era of cold weapons, the mortality rate of casualties was very high. Serious injuries were basically left to die, while minor injuries could only be left to fate. No one could save them if they were unlucky.

But there are exceptions.

When Hei Fu was chatting with Yang Xiong's old subordinates in the army, he heard them say that Yang Xiong was a son of a general, and his father was the famous Zuo Shuchang Yang Duanhe!

Yang Duanhe once followed Wang Jian to attack Wei and Zhao, and captured Yecheng, making great achievements in battle. But a few years ago, Yang Duanhe was injured in a battle with Zhao State General Li Mu. "He suffered more than ten wounds on his body, but he had a lot of gold and good medicine, so he escaped death." And the one who treated Yang Duanhe and used the "good medicine" for him was the doctor in front of him from Xianyang, Chen Wujiu...

Therefore, Chen Wujiu must have a secret recipe passed down from master to disciple! Although this product cannot be compared with the special medicines of later generations, it may greatly increase the chance of survival of the Eastern Leopard.

After Heifu finished explaining his conditions, he looked at Chen Wujiu intently. He hoped that Chen Wujiu was not a short-sighted person and could accept this condition. In exchange for using the hemostatic bandaging method of later generations, he took good care of a very long gentleman and used precious golden sore medicine to save his life. This transaction was not a loss at all.

Chen Wujiu thought for a moment with his hands behind his back, and then said: "There is nothing wrong with this. I can give the gentleman medicine to keep him alive, but I also want to hear the second condition from the village chief!"

Heifu had been thinking in his mind for a long time and immediately said: "Although Heifu was on the battlefield for the first time, he saw that the city was being attacked and many soldiers were injured. However, there were few military doctors in the camp. Out of a thousand people, there were only two of them. It is difficult for doctors to arrive on the battlefield in time to treat wounded soldiers, so Hei Fu has an idea."

He cupped his hands and said: "The method of bandaging wounds that Hei Fu learned is actually not difficult. If one soldier in every village, or every hundred people, can learn this method. In this way, on the battlefield, He can stop the bleeding of the wounded soldiers in time, and maybe save their lives!"

Heifu bandaged the people in this village and other villages today, and won their admiring and grateful eyes. Many people even bowed to him to thank him for saving their lives. After this incident, Heifu suddenly thought, if the medical soldier system of later generations could be moved to Qin, would it be possible to save more lives?

"Mrs. Hei spoke softly, but I heard people say that Dr. Chen is a famous doctor in Xianyang and has been a medical officer for generations. He may be able to submit this method and Mr. Hei's ideas to Xianyang for the purpose of hearing..."

After saying this, Hei Fu bowed deeply to Chen Wu Jiu: "This is Hei Fu's merciless invitation!"

Chen Wu Jiu was a little stunned. If he could guess Hei Fu's first condition, then the second condition was something he had never expected.

"Let everyone in every village learn how to bandage wounds and stop the bleeding of the wounded in time?"

The idea was indeed good, but Chen Wujiu neither praised it nor called it a genius.

He just wanted to laugh, laugh at Heifu's naivety.

"Even if we rescue the wounded soldiers on the battlefield, so what?"

Chen Wujiu spread his hands helplessly and said: "There are still only one or two Golden Sore doctors in the camp. There are hundreds of injuries and illnesses. How can we take care of them all? We can only try our best to save the lives of the soldiers. As for most of them, People will still die without treatment, this is the number of days, how can we change it?"

It is different from the wound dressing that ordinary people can master in a few days of training. Acupuncture, medication, scraping and killing, these professional techniques require several years or even more than ten years of medical training. Moreover, the treatment efficiency is very low and slow. Although Qin’s medicine is top-notch at the same time, it cannot find so many doctors to serve as military doctors!

Besides, good gold sore medicine is as expensive as gold. How can it be spread to every wounded person?

However, what Heifu said next made Chen Wu Jiu stunned.

"The doctor is right. After being rescued, the military doctors will not be able to take care of them all, and they may die eventually. This may be just the number of days..."

Heifu couldn't help it. He was not a professional medical staff, he was just a layman who had learned battlefield rescue for a few days. He still had a lot of common sense about disinfection. How could he be asked to put on a white coat and perform surgery to treat illnesses and save lives? Bringing the wounded back to life and jumping around? Do not make jokes.

Even if you give him a Baidu system, he can't do it. Before entering the modern era and having various special medicines, the life and death of the sick and wounded could really only be said to be the number of days, disinfection and bandaging, and then if they couldn't survive, they had to Depends on luck.

Heifu emphasized his tone: "But whether to save someone on the battlefield or not is a human matter!"

"I heard someone say that in the past, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, had a disease and could not join the army. I would give him medicine, give him rice porridge, and eat with him."

"General Sima Ranju of Qi also asked his soldiers for medical advice, and he shouldered the responsibility himself."

"Wu Qi, the general of Wei, worked hard together with his soldiers. If one of the soldiers contracted gangrene, he would suck the pus and blood for him."

"These three are all heroes and generals of the moment. Don't they understand that it is impossible to save all the soldiers with only one person's efforts and only a small amount of medicine?"

"But timely first aid on the battlefield is not only as simple as saving the lives of injured soldiers, but it can also make uninjured soldiers feel at ease and make them feel that even if they fight hard and get injured, they will not be left alone!"

Later generations have realized that the key to maintaining strong combat effectiveness lies not only in the level of force of the army, but also in the logistics and health support of the army. During battle, the army needs adequate medical support to serve the sick and wounded. Just like in the movie "Hacksaw Ridge", a medical soldier who is active on the front line to save people can greatly improve morale.

Chen Wujiu was really shocked this time. If Yang Duanhe or Yang Xiong said this to him, he wouldn't be too surprised.

However, Heifu is just an ordinary village chief! Not only did he know the deeds of Gou Jian, Sima Ranju, and Wu Qi, but he was also able to tell such subtle truths.

Heifu continued: "The doctor just said that the military doctors are specially designed for generals to save the lives of the country's generals."

"Then, medical care and binding of wounded soldiers is specially designed for ordinary soldiers! It relieves soldiers of the fear of death if they are injured, making them more courageous to fight! This matter is of great benefit to the country, the army, and individuals. What a harm! I hope Dr. Chen will think about it!"

After what he said, Chen Wujiu, who had treated countless noble people and administered medicine in Xianyang, felt a little ashamed when he stood in front of this young village chief whom he had met for the first time. He even felt that he was not worthy of the title of "physician". No.

Chen Wujiu was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "A doctor is not more valuable than being able to cure a person's wounds, but it is more valuable than being able to cure the worries and fears in his heart!"

"Captain Heifu, you are right. After you teach me this method of bandaging wounds, I will write a letter back to Xianyang immediately."

He smiled: "I will write the cause and effect of this matter, including the name of the village chief, and your suggestions, on a wooden slip, and let the master who taught me medical skills read it, and ask him to write to the king to implement it. This matter!"

Heifu was immediately shocked. Although he heard that Dr. Chen had a background, he never expected that his teacher could directly write to the King of Qin? Who is he?

"I wonder who Dr. Chen's wife is..."

"My wife is the imperial physician of Qin!"

Chen Wujiu was very proud, and he cupped his hands towards the west and said, "His surname is Xia, so there is no secret about it!"
