open sea

Chapter 738

Almansa was telling the truth, and there was indeed a terrible scene outside the barracks.

The military doctor's breastplate military uniform is no different from that of the banner army, except that the upper arm is wrapped with a white cloth and carries a medicine box on his back.

At this time, another military medical camp has been set up outside the military camp. The color of the tents is different from that of the military tents, and they are all white.

The lack of luggage has greatly affected the treatment of wounded soldiers in the military medical camp. At least in terms of the comfort of trauma treatment, wounded soldiers do not even have beds. Those who can sit but cannot move sit outside the white tent, and those who cannot sit are moved into the military medical tent. , for trauma treatment.

After the battle, the Banner Army was dismantled. As early as in the training, the Banner Army of each small banner had multiple positions, such as a military doctor, a test soldier, and a test engineer. They were not injured once the battle was over. are assigned to other departments.

The same is true for the military medical battalion. Under the leadership of the third-class military doctor, the military doctors transferred from the small banners built fires and boiled medicines and bandages outside the white tent. Very busy.

It was doctors B and C who actually operated on the seriously injured Banner Army. They were the mainstay of military doctors in every unit of the Ming Army.

First-class military doctors do not perform trauma surgery, they are only responsible for the most difficult operations, such as the common "intestinal anastomosis" in the military is when they come in handy.

Plug the intestines that come out and connect the broken intestines.

Almansa had seen the corpses of the officers of the Western Army outside the camp. Hei Yunlong had indeed made a mistake, but the mistake was not as outrageous as Almansa imagined.

Among the 37 corpses of Western Army officers collected by the Ming Army, nine of them were not officers. Two mercenary leaders and seven senior soldiers who received awards were dressed the same as officers, so they were mistaken.

Even so, the number of 28 officers still made Almansa heartbroken. The Herrera Legion was indeed wiped out in an organized manner, leaving only a company captain and the chief gendarmerie who maintained military discipline to escape.

All the officers were killed in battle. Even if he re-entered Mexico in the future, it would be difficult for this legion to form again.

However, among the dead bodies, he accidentally found an officer who was not dead, just next to the military medical camp of the Ming army, and immediately ordered his followers to carry the quartermaster there, hoping to be treated.

The two company captains and the chief drummer of the Herrera Legion, as well as the four captive knights, have surrendered to him and are willing to fight for him. If this quartermaster can be rescued and more soldiers can be added, he can form four company.

In addition, Almansa also hopes to take this opportunity to see how the military doctors of the Ming Army work... Ever since his injured finger was treated by the military doctors under Shao Tingda, he has been curious about the doctors of the Ming Dynasty.

The military doctor refused to treat him and asked him to go to Chen Shigong, the only first-class military doctor in the military medical battalion. Only after obtaining permission could he treat the quartermaster who was stabbed in the back with a broken left leg.

Doctors are benevolent. Chen Mu knew that military doctors would inevitably feel sympathy for all the wounded so as to save the enemy, so he not only equipped the military doctors with scalpels made of fine steel, but also gave them pistols. kill.

Euphemistically reducing the suffering of the enemy is also an act of goodness.

In fact, Chen Mu simply didn't want to waste the limited military medical resources, and hoped that all the manpower and material resources he had recruited so hard would be used on his own people.

Chen Shigong is 23 years old this year, and he is too young for the profession of a doctor. According to common sense, at his age, it is not bad to be a third-class doctor who boils medicine with banner troops outside the military doctor's account.

However, he was also lucky. Because he was young and sick, he followed a famous local medical doctor. Because his teacher Li Lunming said that medicine is different from inside and outside, he went to Beiyang when he was recruiting doctors in the army. The army has enough treatment for trauma. Opportunity.

But what really made him a first-class military doctor was relying on the pair of Qianlijian walkers used for marching. It is mainly used to treat swelling and pain in both feet during long-distance travel. Putting it in shoes can reduce swelling and relieve pain. Great significance, so promoted.

This expedition with the former military fleet also shouldered a mission from the Beiyang Academy of Medical Sciences - relying on practice to sort out anatomical knowledge since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

For this reason, the young Chen Shigong was equipped with five assistants who performed operations, weighing, ancient books, notes, and sorting, as well as a Taoist from the Daoist Temple of Dragon and Tiger in Xinhui, Guangzhou.

This Taoist was thrown into the dojo by Chen Mu to study electricity. He once threw magnets and coils into the alchemy furnace and refined them for 49 days. He was extremely serious. He failed to practice and was eventually dismissed, so he went to the north to beg for a living.

But fortunately, this time he was hired by Beiyang Medical Academy, with a salary of one liang of silver per month and the salary of the expedition management, to do his own job of saving the souls of the dead, and there is nothing wrong with it except being a little tired.

At least the Beiyang Army had better food rations than the original dojo, and was respected by the soldiers. No one knew when it was their turn to be saved.

Although the appearance and appearance of Western warriors are different from those of Ming people, the Taoists said that supernatural powers can also guide the soul out of the suffering of the three evil ways. Only then did Chen Shigong feel less worried, and led his assistants to perform a half-day operation on the injured flag soldier outside the white cloth tent. , After the Taoist has finished the super-delivery ceremony and disinfected the basin with alcohol, the account will be re-entered.

"The word dissection comes from the "Huangdi Neijing Lingshu". Let's compare it with the Lingshu first."

Several people saluted the corpse and began to work. The surgeon first cut open the skin and muscles by 'cutting the skin and dissolving the muscles', then ligated the blood vessels and treated the ligaments by 'Jiemai Jiejin', and finally opened the pleural membrane and peritoneum by 'cutting the barren claw curtain' .

"Lingshu records: From the lips to the teeth, it is nine minutes long and two and a half inches wide; from the teeth to the epiglottis, it is three and a half inches deep and has a capacity of five parts; the tongue weighs ten liang, seven inches long, and two and a half inches wide; the pharynx is heavy. Twelve taels, one and a half inches wide; to the stomach, one foot and six inches long...there are 32 twists and turns."

All the assistants measured one by one, and finally the ancient book assistant reported to Chen Shigong: "It is roughly consistent."

Chen Shigong nodded, ordered the assistant secretary to write it down, wrinkled his nose, and silently saluted the corpse, and continued: "Continue, "Nanjing""

The sound of flipping and the sound of the assistants swallowing bitter water sounded at the same time. No one was interested in talking.

"There is a saying in "Nanjing": the liver weighs two catties and four liang, the left three leaves, the right four leaves, and the seven leaves. The heart weighs 12 liang, and there are seven holes and three hairs in the middle, which hold the essence and juice three times."

After the ancient book official said, the surveyor also tried his best to swallow his mouth.

"This liver weighs two catties, four taels and one qian, and the weight is the same, but I don't know how to divide the leaves recorded in the book; the heart weighs six taels and seven qian, and I don't know how to say it."

Chen Shigong frowned, raised his hand to grind his short beard, and said in doubt: "If it is said that the weight of the Han Dynasty when the book was written is different from today's, then the weight of the liver recorded in it is wrong; if it is the same as today, then the weight of the heart is not the same. Wrong, how to solve this?"

"Perhaps people lived differently back then? Write it down and compile it into a book in the future. People today will use this book as evidence. As for the heart holes and liver leaves..."

Chen Shigong gritted his teeth, and said to several assistants: "Cut it open, and you will know the semen inside!"

At this time, Almansa opened the curtain and came in, only to see the man who had been cut open lying on the wooden case, so it was no wonder that he ran back to the barracks as if possessed by a demon.

　Anatomy - "If a person is eight feet tall, the skin and flesh are here, and the outside can be measured and followed. The death can be dissected and viewed. The firmness of the viscera, the size of the viscera, the number of valleys, the length of the pulse, The clearness and turbidity of blood... all have a large number." "Huangdi Neijing·Lingshu"
