The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 9
Guan Ku's surname is Cheng, and his family is in Shanhaiguan.

He is quite a shrewd person, he has already become a pawn by virtue of his status as a scholar, and now he has managed everything up and down, if he finds a reason to make meritorious service, he can be promoted to become the highest-ranking official among the officials.

Most of the official officials in the Ming Dynasty were scholars who had no hope of imperial examinations. When they first entered the industry, they did some copying, writing, and running errands. Slowly boiled to become pawns and orderly officials.

Cheng Guanku was already doing well, but it was as difficult as heaven to get the official position of chief bookkeeper like Huang Sheng.

Order officials are only civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, not officials, which means that they are not masters and do not belong to the bureaucratic class.

He took the initiative to contact Huang Sheng and told Huang Sheng that they would leave here tomorrow. He was actually the treasurer of Juehua Island.

Juehua Island is Daming's largest logistics supply base outside the pass. This time, he came here with the army because the Master Superintendent came to the front line to guide the work in person.

In the future, if Huang Sheng needs to replenish gunpowder and lead ammunition, he has to go to Juehua Island. It doesn’t matter if the gun is broken, he can replace it with a new one for Huang Sheng.

Knowing that he was working on Juehua Island, Huang Sheng sympathized with him. If he was still there in the first month of the sixth year of Tianqi, he would become a corpse.

Huang Sheng was just an ant at this time. Although he knew the direction of history, he didn't dare to show any expression. After expressing his gratitude to Cheng Guanku for the olive branch extended, he led the four of them to the temporary residence that Ma Shihu had found for them.

Huang Sheng put down his things and called Huang Mingdao to go out. He was a little worried that the Ming army would not accept Li Dagang at night, and felt that he had to check the situation.

After several rounds of inquiries, I finally found the resident of the Bai Zong, and when we met, the Bai Zong hesitated and couldn't explain why.

Finally, Huang Sheng got angry and said that he wanted to see their Shangguan, and the Baizong led him to a smelly room.

This leaky room was covered with hay, and there were a few soldiers who didn't know whether they were dead or alive. Only one Ming soldier was looking after him. Maybe he could only prevent the sick and wounded from being eaten by mice. function of the nose.

There was a person lying on the ground outside, Huang Sheng could see clearly that it was Li Dagang.

Mr. Bai explained to Huang Sheng with some embarrassment: "The military doctor has seen it, and he said that although this person is not dead, he is only a breath away from the dead, and there is nothing he can do."

Seeing this scene, Huang Sheng was so angry that he fought life and death for the court, but after being injured, it ended like this?

Huang Sheng said angrily: "These people are your robes, why do you treat them like this?"

Mr. Bai was so ashamed that he didn't know the difference. A servant behind him said:

"My lord, you are a scholar. You can't see such a scene. These rotten soldiers outside are destined for this. It is difficult for the living people to survive, let alone these half-dead people."

Huang Sheng sighed, and said: "General, student, please ask your subordinates to help you. The student needs to move these soldiers to the residence to take care of them. If they die, the student will bury them in peace. If they are lucky enough to save them, the students will keep them as servants."

In the eyes of Mr. You Bai, these wounded and sick people whose personnel are unknown are already dead, but they still have a breath, so it is not easy to bury them.

Now that this scholar with a strong sense of justice is willing to take care of them, he certainly wishes for it.

He immediately arranged for his family to call more than a dozen people, set up two carriages, and took the seven dying sick and wounded here to Huang Sheng's residence.

Regardless of his fatigue, Huang Sheng hurriedly performed physical examinations on these people. At this time, he found that one of the soldiers who had come to send them off had not left. It turned out that he was the only soldier who stayed in the dilapidated house to take care of the wounded and sick.

The man ran up to Huang Sheng, knelt down and kowtowed: "Master, you are willing to heal the villain's elder brother. Thank you for your kindness. The villain has kowtowed to you. If you have any orders from the future, the villain will not be in trouble." frown."

It turned out to be the younger brother of one of the sick and wounded, so he had no choice but to rest assured to stay here.

Huang Sheng said: "Who is your elder brother, let me see if he can be saved."

In later generations, Huang Sheng did some research on medicine, and he was a half-nurse-level existence.

This is entirely the accumulation of life experience, because he has taken care of his sick parents for several years.

In order to obtain a good quality of life for them, he also specially studied many traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions.

Cancer patients sentenced to death by doctors are very painful. Not only that, their loved ones will only suffer more, and they are always suffering from inner torment.

Knowing that there is nothing you can do, you have to spare no effort.

Therefore, Huang Sheng has studied both Chinese and Western medicine, and he is also good at injections and infusions.Stitching is not possible, but after seeing the process, it should be fine if you try it yourself.

Huang Sheng first checked the brother of the Ming army. He was not traumatized. Huang Sheng's preliminary judgment was a high fever and coma caused by a cold. Unfortunately, there were no antibiotics.

Huang Sheng asked the remaining Ming army: "Where are you from? What's your name? How old are you?"

Naming Jun said: "The name of the villain is Han Guang, and the name of the elder brother is Han Kuan. The elder brother is three years old. He is from Liaodong, and his hometown is Shisanshanyi."

While examining the others, Huang Sheng asked, "Where can I buy medicine? Where can I get wine? I still need pots for boiling medicine, and we still need to eat. Where can we buy food?"

Han Guangdao: "My son, the quartermaster has them all. You can buy them with silver. Only the quartermaster sells things. There are no shops or ordinary people here. The Ming army is stationed here."

The aborigines here were led by Xiong Tingbi to evacuate to the pass after the former Liaodong governor Wang Huazhen lost Guangning in the first month of the second year of Tianqi.The city was hastily set on fire and abandoned.

Sun Chengzong, the current Liaodong economic strategist, wants to get the credit for regaining his homeland, and considers emigrating to farm here, but the imperial court is procrastinating, and there is no specific plan yet.

Huang Sheng checked all the wounded and sick, and asked Han Guang to lead the way to call Huang Mingdao and Huang Dongshan to the quartermaster to buy things.

As Han Guang said, the Quartermaster had everything in his sights.

It seems that the generals in Liaodong are not good at fighting, and everyone is a business elite.It was strange for the quartermaster to see a big-headed soldier bringing a scholar to buy things. The reclamation has not started here yet, and there are no Ming people here, let alone scholars.

After some questioning, he found out Huang Sheng's identity.

As a quartermaster, he was well-informed, and he actually knew that Huang Sheng had just made the credit for beheading the third-level Jiannu vest, and he would soon have the official certificate of the ninth-rank master.

The quartermaster was more polite to Huang Sheng, so of course he didn't slaughter the fat sheep, and settled with Huang Sheng according to the price given to the officer.

Huang Sheng not only bought medicines and spirits, but also bought cooking utensils, food, and meat, which cost a total of more than [-] taels of silver.

Seeing that he bought a lot of things, the quartermaster specially asked his family to set up a car to transport the goods for Huang Sheng.

He was just wondering, why did this young man buy a lot of quicklime?It is impossible to nitrate the heads of slaves so much.

Huang Sheng got busy when he returned to his residence, and asked Han Guang to go back to ask for leave and come here to help.

They first tidied up a room, covered the floor with quicklime, then spread hay, and then laid mattresses on top of the hay. There was no way, there were not so many beds for sleeping.

Huang Sheng asked the dog to cook rice porridge and broth.I distill spirits repeatedly by myself. Although the alcohol obtained is not pure, it can be used to make do with it.

In the copycat version of Yunnan Baiyao formula, the Chinese herbal medicine used in it is generally known to Huang Sheng.

Stasis dispelling grass, bitter ginger, geranium, white ox gallbladder, Tianqi, mountain dragon, yam, and heartbroken grass. As for how many to mix, I only know the approximate amount. Will be poisoned.

These medicines were commonly used by doctors in the Ming Dynasty, and Huang Sheng bought them all.

In the medicine pot, Huang Sheng’s Xiaobuihu soup has started to boil, including Bupleurum, Scutellaria, Ginseng, Banxiaqing, Radix Glycyrrhizae, Ginger, and Jujube.

This formula has been scientifically proven, and it is not something like witchcraft created by doctors in the Ming Dynasty who added superstitious things in order to create a sense of mystery.

Han Guang came back soon, and his superior You Baizong heard that he needed Han Guang's help, so he readily agreed to let him help the young master with peace of mind, and sent someone to call him when the army started.

Han Guang also brought his own belongings, and of course nothing of value, just his clothes, cotton armor, bedding and other items, as well as Ming army standard equipment.

What might be worth some money is a three-eyed blunderbuss, which is a firearm equipped by the cavalry of the Ming army. It can fire three lead bullets, and then it can be swung up as a mace or a long-handled hammer to smash the enemy's head.

Huang Sheng instructed him to light a charcoal brazier, take off all his brother's clothes, scrub his body with alcohol to disinfect and cover him with a quilt, and wipe his brother's palms, soles of feet, armpits, and forehead with alcohol every once in a while.

After the Xiaochaihu decoction was ready, he began to pour the medicine six times a day.

Let the dog feed Li Dagang rice porridge and minced meat, let Huang Dongshan wipe the knife clean with alcohol, dig out the carrion and pus and blood from the infected wounds of the two wounded soldiers until bright red blood flows out.

Huang Sheng washed them again with alcohol, and sewed them up with boiled sewing needles and cotton threads. Huang Sheng also bent the sewing needles into a fishhook shape to facilitate sewing.

After all, Huang Sheng only had a theoretical foundation, no practical experience, and was sweating profusely, so he finished it crookedly.

Then there is the counterfeit version of Yunnan Baiyao, which is applied externally or taken internally. Anyway, Huang Sheng used all the methods he could think of. As for whether these six people can survive, it depends on God's will.

Huang Mingli and Huang Mingdao were fairly strong and did not hurt their bones. They were given Chinese herbal medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

Both of them saw the young master's every move. They were so strange that scholars would be so powerful. The young master had never practiced medicine before, and now he seemed to be more knowledgeable than those doctors.Is there really anything in the book?
For three days in a row, I was busy taking care of the wounded and sick every day, but unfortunately, three people died unfortunately.I don't know if Huang Sheng's quack doctor misunderstood people, or they are already terminally ill.

The good news is that Han Guang's brother Han Kuan woke up. Although he was still weak, he started to complain that he was hungry.

A day later, the two traumatized soldiers also came back to life, and they began to move around, as if they felt itchy wounds and wanted to scratch them.

Huang Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, the recovery rate was 50.00%, fortunately there were no failures.Several days after the trauma, he still hasn't died, and he doesn't have a fever anymore. The chance of survival is too great, so he probably won't die.

Huang Sheng asked Huang Mingli and Han Guang to take care of the wounded and sick at their residence, and he took Huang Dongshan and Huang Mingdao with him, and the dog went to a woods to try the Lumi gun.
All four guns were tested, and Huang Sheng had an air gun in later generations, which was very good at shooting and could shoot down flying sparrows.

Huang Shengli adjusted the amount of gunpowder, corrected the front sight with a small file, and adjusted the aim of the four Lumi guns.Before coming to test the gun, the lead bullets have been corrected with a file to become a unified standard.

Huang Sheng knew that the shape and weight of lead bullets, the amount of gunpowder loaded, and the quality of gunpowder would all affect the accuracy of shooting.

So Huang Sheng not only carefully corrected the four Lumi guns again, but also made his own balance and made many small packets of gunpowder with the same weight.
