Chapter 2183 Military Doctor
Bai Shan nodded, "Erge is a suspicious person. He will doubt us if he doesn't have a good reason."
There's no need to make such an excuse, right?
When the news got out, people thought the emperor wanted to take action against the grassland, and the relationship between everyone was already a bit tense.
However, this matter currently only came from their mouths and reached the ears of the horse thieves, so we just need to clean it up afterwards.
After General Nie comforted himself in this way, he felt less guilty towards the emperor and the Ministry of War.
He followed Bai Shan's gaze towards the mountain over there, looked for a while and said, "Mr. Bai, it's getting late, let's go back."
Bai Shan nodded and turned back to the camp.
General Nie was one step behind him, walking behind and watching him. He felt that those who could pass the imperial examination were indeed not ordinary people, especially those who passed the imperial examination at such a young age. Their brains were much smarter than theirs, and their hearts were also black.
General Nie realized belatedly that this man had dared to file a complaint with the emperor in person three or four years ago when he was even younger, and had brought down the King of Yizhou.
General Nie shuddered all over.
Manbao and Bai Erlang noticed that General Nie was much more polite to Bai Shan, and even gave way to Bai Shan when they sat together for dinner in the evening.
Manbao and Bai Erlang looked at General Nie together, then turned to look at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan remained calm, took the food, thanked him, and asked, "When will Governor Duan and his men leave?"
Nie Canjun said: "At night, people are sleeping soundly."
It is said that he slept the soundest, and it really was the soundest. Bai Shan and the others were already alert enough at night, but they were not woken up by Daji until Governor Duan arrived at the camp.
After I put on my clothes and looked outside, I saw a large army standing in neat rows on the grass, with cavalry in front and infantry behind. I didn't know how long they had been standing there in the night, and it seemed that frost had fallen on their shoulders.
Manbao gathered his clothes and asked Governor Duan, "Shall we set off now?"
Governor Duan said, "It's almost dawn. Let the soldiers eat first, then surround the mountain and go in at daybreak."
Manbao nodded.
Manbao and the other two rode their horses to watch the fun, no, to help.
Zhou Liru and Liu Huan also came running over. They were called in to help. "Yin Huo wanted to come too, but was stopped by his family. He's not a good horseman, so it's hard for him to escape...run."
When he met the gaze of Governor Duan, Liu Huan cleverly changed his words.
At daybreak, Governor Duan ordered his infantry to quietly climb the mountain from two directions. The soldiers leading the troops all had experience in suppressing bandits. They had climbed the mountain twice before and were quite familiar with it.
After everyone went in, Governor Duan arranged for his men to ambush in the direction where the horse thieves might escape, and Lieutenant General Nie also led a group of soldiers away with his own men.
There were only a few soldiers and a dozen guards left around Manbao and his companions.
Governor Duan didn't leave either. He had to stay here to direct the overall situation. So after making all the arrangements, he said to Manbao, "Master Zhou, do you see that tent set up over there?"
Manbao nodded, "That's where the military doctor is. I'll have to trouble Sir Zhou for the rest of the rear."
Manbao could only look at Dashan with regret and led Zhou Liru to the tent to prepare.
Bai Erlang and Liu Huan, who had originally planned to follow, did not move when they saw that Bai Shan did not move.
Governor Duan brought a military doctor with him. Although most of the injured soldiers who were sent down would still die, it was better than nothing.
There was only one military doctor. After Manbao arrived and met him, he went to check the medicinal materials they brought.
There are very few kinds of medicinal herbs, but fortunately they are all useful for external injuries.
Man Bao checked it out and said, "Let's grind these into powder first and set aside."
He picked out six more herbs and told them the dosage, then had Zhou Liru and the army's medicine boy divide them into portions. "When you need them, you can just boil them and there's no need to weigh them at the last minute."
Seeing that this prescription had never been used before, the military doctor beside him couldn't help but ask, "Master Zhou, why don't you wait until the injured are sent down before prescribing the right medicine?"
Man Bao said, "Isn't speed the key to treating injuries in the military? With the herbs you brought, this is the best combination I can come up with to stop bleeding and save lives. What herbs do you usually use to stop bleeding and stimulate patients?"
The military doctor gave two prescriptions, and Manbao said, "They still can't stop the bleeding as well as this one..."
The two discussed it, and finally the military doctor was persuaded by her, and went with Zhou Liru to weigh the herbs and wrap them in paper.
Manbao, who was chopping and hammering medicine, asked curiously, "Don't you usually make preparations?"
The military doctor said, "Of course we are making preparations, but this time the master called us so urgently that we only had time to prepare the herbs."
Manbao nodded and asked how they dealt with external injuries.
How else can we deal with it?
Those who need medicine will be given medicine, those who need bandage will be bandaged, those who need holes will be dug, and those who need sawing will even be sawed off. "Whether they can survive or not is uncertain."
The military doctor said, "The soldiers sent down here weren't seriously injured, but half died from blood loss, and half died from worsening wounds. Only half of the half survived."
Manbao frowned. She paused for a moment and then asked, "Aren't you going to sew it up?"
The military doctor's eyes lit up. "I've heard of this medical skill. I heard that there's a doctor named Ji in the Imperial Hospital who knows this. Many military doctors know this, but I've tried it on rabbits, and only two out of ten rabbits survived. That's not very good..."
Manbao: "...How did you try?"
"What else can I try? Cut the rabbit and sew it up..."
Zhou Liru said: "We have to aim at the texture, and we also have to take some measures to stop the bleeding..."
She was surprised. "Didn't the doctors in the army teach us this before?"
The military doctor said embarrassedly: "The previous military doctor died in the battle, and later the Liangzhou army could not recruit a military doctor. I used to be a traveling doctor. When I passed by Liangzhou City, I made a small mistake, so I was captured and became a military doctor."
In fact, he only knew a few prescriptions and would prescribe two medicines for abdominal pain, cough, etc. After being captured by the army, he learned many things on the spot.
Manbao was amazed and asked, "How many years have you been in the army?"
"For four or five years, I have followed the Liangzhou Army every time they went into battle, and I have saved many people." So I am still quite proud of it.
Manbao nodded and told him the things to pay attention to when suturing. Seeing that he listened attentively, she said, "Wait until someone is sent down, and you can practice with us."
The military doctor said, "How can we delay you from saving people? Let's save them first and ask for your advice later."
He felt that it should not be difficult to learn as long as he had seen it before. He was quite good at sewing and had mended clothes for many people in the army.
Manbao nodded, and once the herbs were ready, she asked someone to boil some water. She then took out her medicine box and pulled out various knives, scissors, clamps, and needles...
And a box of wire.
The catgut was neatly placed in a bag, which was then placed in a box. Zhou Liru took it and took it to be washed.
It was the first time for the military doctor to see such a complete set of things. He had never seen many of the tools before and was stunned.
Manbao looked at his expression and began to think, should the Imperial Medical Bureau set up a class specifically for training military doctors?
Let the army send military doctors who are willing to learn here to study for a while and then send them back?
See you at 6pm
