Chapter 37 Summoning the Imperial Hospital
In the 30th year of Emperor Zongming's reign, there was a severe drought in Yuzhou. First, the earth dragons turned over in Yuzhou, and then the big blue invaded. The tragedy was even worse than that in Yuzhou.
Emperor Zong Ming was extremely angry at Da Qing's invasion and lost his calm demeanor as a Taoist.
In the same year, Emperor Zong Ming dispatched four armies, led by General Zhang Qihang, to attack Daqing!
Zhang Qihang's army was originally stationed in Yuzhou, but they were hit by a sudden natural disaster and a large army approached, so they had to move thousands of miles away.
Emperor Zong Ming did not punish him, but instead allowed him to make meritorious service while serving his sentence and became a general in this southern expedition.
The climate and customs of Daqing are very different from those of Dayue. It is said that there is a lot of rain, the trees are lush, and there are poisonous insects and beasts everywhere. If there is no familiar general to command the army, even if you really have a million soldiers, it will be difficult to get anything out of it.
More importantly, a few years ago, when Daqing had not yet actually raised an army, General Zhang had written a letter to the emperor, saying that Daqing still had the determination to lead troops to plunder, but he was suppressed in the end.
It is only natural that he is now valued by Emperor Zong Ming.
The difference is that this time the army was mobilized due to the impact of natural disasters, and even the Imperial Medical Bureau was affected.
The final order was given, requiring the Imperial Medical Service to dispatch at least half of its staff to follow the army.
There are many miasma in the mountains and forests of Daqing, and the number of doctors needed to treat the soldiers' acclimatization problems is far from enough. General Zhang Qihang has long-term thoughts.
But this would be too hard on the Imperial Medical Service. It cannot be said that the entire hospital is composed entirely of old and weak doctors. But which of the truly experienced and capable imperial doctors has not experienced the baptism of time?
As one's medical skills reach their peak, he naturally grows older.
Even though doctors don't need to actually step onto the battlefield and fight with others, it is not easy to hold on after going through the exhausting and tiring journey.
Gu Danran had no way of escaping such a call, unless he decided not to stay in Dayue any longer and simply committed treason.
"Alas, I have told you long ago that you should find a good girl to marry and have children sooner. Look, Xiaoyi's child is already several years old! Now you have to follow the army to fight, how can it be a good thing? If something happens, what should I do when I see your father down there?"
In the Mohist Martial Arts School, Xu Zhian said with a sad face and sighed.
After the deaths of Chief Imperial Physician Pang Qi and Imperial Physician Lin, the Imperial Medical Bureau finally had to face the day when it could no longer escape.
This time, Andy Hui will be the leader of the Imperial Medical Service to provide technical support and he cannot avoid it at all.
Gu Dan was young and strong, and was a member of the Imperial Medical Service, so he was "lucky" enough to be selected.
"It's okay, Uncle Xu. We are in the rear and most of the time we only need to treat the wounded. We are still some time away from actually going to the battlefield." Gu Dan said comfortingly.
In eight years, he has mastered the second level of Jingchan! The Broken Soul Medicinal Wine given to him by Xu Zhian has provided a lot of help. His skills are already pretty good in the whole Dayue.
"I know you have learned some martial arts, but no matter how high your martial arts skills are, what can you accomplish in a military formation? Returning safely is better than anything else!" Andy Hui said with a sigh.
Gu Dan naturally understood.
He is not the type of person who likes to stand out. In the eight years since he came to this world, he has never done anything else except curing illnesses and saving lives step by step. He has been curing illnesses and saving lives all the way, and has been kind to others and peaceful.
Even though the Grandmaster was just a drop of water on the ever-changing battlefield, he was not prepared to sacrifice his life for Dayue.
When the time comes and there is really nothing you can do, just run away.
Speed is of the essence in war, and they don't have much time to clean up.
Not long after, everyone from the Imperial Hospital followed the troops to Yuzhou.
General Zhang, who is at the forefront of the war, has already led his troops to fight against Daqing's troops!
There is a major disaster at home and powerful enemies all around, so we must win the first battle and cannot afford to lose.
General Zhang was extremely patient. Although he wanted to redeem himself by making amends for his crime, he took steady steps and never acted rashly.
Naturally, he did not achieve any results. He often avoided the provocations of the Daqing army and was even called the Turtle General for a while.
After all, Yuzhou is the home ground of the Dayue Dynasty, which has been managed for decades and educated by several generations. When the armies arrived, Zhang Qihan, who had always behaved like a coward, decisively sent his entire army to attack, changing his previous attitude of avoidance and tolerance.
The Dayue Dynasty army, which had long been frustrated, fought bravely and finally won the first battle!
General Zhang did not show any sign of being a Turtle General. He launched a large-scale attack in all directions, sweeping away the remaining troops of Daqing in Yuzhou, leaving them no chance of survival.
Compared to the high-spirited army, the atmosphere in the wounded camp has never been very good.
Broken bodies and limbs were everywhere, and from time to time the cries of pain from soldiers could be heard.
Whether winning or losing a battle, it is undoubtedly a pipe dream to expect no casualties among soldiers.
Gu Dan was in the middle of it, and even if he tried his best, he couldn't save many people.
The medical conditions were very poor. Although he tried his best to keep the wounded camp clean and tidy, the situation was only slightly better.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Most of the time, they did treat the soldiers, but they did not provide meticulous treatment. They just did their best and left the rest to fate.
There are too many injured and disabled people. If we treat them one by one, all the doctors would be exhausted and still not be able to save a few.
Those whose injuries were really too serious could not be carried to the wounded camp, so they were relieved on the spot.
The "Essentials of Golden Injuries" left by Imperial Physician Lin helped Gu Dan a lot. He undoubtedly did not have much experience in external injuries, and he needed to make a decision as soon as possible on what treatment to use for what kind of injury.
In this era, heavy bleeding basically means death. His judgment in a moment may very likely affect the life or death of the soldiers.
"It's time to eat."
Xu Zhian held the bowl and watched Gu Dan skillfully bandage the wound caused by an arrow for a soldier, forcing out the blood clots in his body, then lowered his head and took a bite of dry food.
Their rations were considered special care in the army, better than those of ordinary soldiers, but not much better.
What is really lucky is that they can always have a hot meal.
"I heard that General Zhang has almost wiped out the enemies in Daqing in Yuzhou?" Gu Dan treated the wounded soldier's injuries, holding a bowl, and squatted beside Xu Zhian.
The wounded camp is quite well-informed. After all, there are always some wounded soldiers sent here after every battle, so it is not difficult to piece together the full picture of the battle.
Overall, Dayue has made steady progress and has stabilized the situation.
"Just driving them away doesn't count. The emperor wants the general to attack Daqing. We have only just begun. It's just that the climate in Daqing is very different from that in Dayue. These are just small matters now. The real test for us is still to come!" Andy Hui took a sip of soup, with no joy on his face.
Acclimating to the local climate and water is a big taboo. Once you enter the territory of Daqing Kingdom to fight, the situation will be completely reversed.
Emperor Zong Ming was determined, and his subordinates had to work themselves to death.
Although Andy Hui also wanted to teach the people of Daqing a lesson, he was also on the battlefield!
It would be a lie to say that I am not worried at all. Who doesn’t want to live? “We must keep it as clean and tidy as possible to prevent the outbreak of diseases.” Gu Dan also felt the pressure.
