Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 48 The Significance of Debridement and Suture

Li Xin thinks he is a good person, but he is only an ordinary good person, and there is still a long, long distance from the highest state of being unselfish and dedicated to benefiting others.

He didn't mind teaching debridement to others, making it more useful in the hands of military doctors. As for things like going to battle in person, going out with the army... Hehe, it's better to avoid it if you can, anyway, whoever wants to go will go.

Monk Daoxin looked at Li Xin, saluted respectfully, and said, "His Royal Highness, King Chu, Gao Yi."

He said: "Don't be afraid to tell the king of Chu the truth. The reason why I emphasized how miserable the wounded barracks are is partly because I want to arouse His Highness Chu's compassion. I'll wait. I didn't expect that His Highness the King of Chu would be so generous and open-minded.

Li Xin scratched his head. To be honest, if Monk Daoxin hadn't been so frank, he really didn't think about it. He waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, this kind of trivial matter is fine."

He could understand Monk Daoxin's concerns. After all, there are too many examples in China's long river-like history that the broom is cherished by oneself and the skills are lost.

Cheng Chumo was a little excited, and murmured: "If the casualty rate of the wounded soldiers can really be reduced to 20%, no, it doesn't need to be 20%, even if it is only reduced to 50%, it will be a huge advantage when fighting Turks!"

Lower casualty mortality means less attrition. To use an inappropriate analogy, if the confrontation between the two armies is regarded as a fight between two adults, then the side with the lower death rate of the wounded soldier is equivalent to naturally having a blood recovery buff, and naturally has an advantage in the battle. Moreover, the lower mortality rate of wounded soldiers can also make the soldiers more heroic and fearless of death, which also greatly improves the morale of the team invisibly.

All in all, the value that a small debridement and suture can bring to the Tang army is actually far beyond Li Xin's imagination.

Monk Daoxin nodded, agreeing with Cheng Chumo's opinion. After all, he had been a military doctor for a while, so he was familiar with military affairs. He said: "The Turkic people have always been cunning and capricious, and they have repeatedly started wars on the border. After the autumn harvest next year, I must have a battle with them. If there is King Chu's debridement and suture technique, our Tang Dynasty will surely win!"

Chen Youlan and Xiaoling stood aside and no one paid any attention to them. The two of them were happy to silently eavesdrop on the speeches of the men beside them. They didn't understand the war. After the two looked at each other, they saw puzzlement in each other's eyes at the same time: Is this debridement and suture really so miraculous? Can it even determine the outcome of a war?

The answer is of course yes. War is a very complicated matter, but in the final analysis, wars are fought based on the economic and technological levels between the two countries. Many small things that seem to have no direct relationship with the war often turn out to be the key to the outcome of the war.

Before Li Xin was reborn, the Tang Dynasty had just ceased war with the Turkic people, because the Tang Dynasty's treasury was already in dire straits and could no longer be defeated. After weighing again and again, Li Shimin had no choice but to sign the Weishui alliance, which he regarded as a shame. Thus, the Turks withdrew.

After the retreat, the Turkic cavalry often harassed and looted at the border of the Tang Dynasty, which made the people dare not speak out.

Li Xin knew that sooner or later there would be a battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks. Moreover, according to his vague memory of history in the past, this battle should end with Li Shimin's complete victory. Since then, Datang has officially embarked on the path of a superpower.

Being able to play a role in such a major historical event, oh no, with a little effort, Li Xin actually became a little enthusiastic, and he immediately took out a pen and paper and wrote a "Hundred Regulations on the Sanitation Management of the Wounded Barracks" "The impulse.

But it's better to think about this kind of thing. After all, Li Xin is not a professional medical student, and he only knows a lot of things. He has to go back and think about it carefully, so as not to be a waste of time.

The injured young man and the old man did not go home in the end, and were taken in by the monk Daoxin in the temple. Daoxin also enthusiastically covered the cost of nutrition and decoction during the recovery period. Because he wanted to see the young man's recovery with his own eyes.

Cheng Chumo left soon. He wanted to go back and report the matter to Cheng Yaojin, and planned to report the matter to His Majesty Li Er as soon as possible.

Speaking of this, Li Xin felt a little headache. He repeatedly emphasized that Cheng Chumo should not mention him in the memorial, and just said that Monk Xin or Cheng Chumo invented the debridement and suture technique himself. However, Monk Daoxin and Cheng Chumo disagreed desperately.

Cheng Chumo said: "You don't even look at me. My old man told His Majesty that I invented this kind of thing, do you think His Majesty will believe it or not? Don't punish me at that time, beat me up, then Wouldn't it be bad for me?"

At that time Li Xin really wanted to say, don't be too polite, we are both the same kind in the eyes of His Majesty, and I am also a stinky dude.

Monk Daoxin also said: "Monks don't tell lies. What's more, how can a poor Taoist impersonate such a great thing that has left a name in history? I'm afraid that even if I die, I will fall into the hell of Abi, and I will not live in peace!"

Looking at the back of Cheng Chumo swaggering away, Li Xin rubbed his forehead silently, thinking: This is all right, I have to think of a new reason to prevaricate the great Li Er Majesty, I hope he will not Then force yourself to be an official.

Daoxin also left with the old man and the injured young man. For a while, only Li Xin and Chen Youlan were left.

Li Xin was about to speak when he suddenly saw Zhang Ben and Chen Hu stepping forward, bowed to him, and said with a serious expression he had never seen on their faces: "Humble, for the soldiers on the battlefield in the future, I would like to express my gratitude to Chu!" Thank you, the king! Thank you, Your Highness, for giving them a chance to live! Thank you!"

These are two clumsy fighters, they were all veterans who had fought with Li Xuandao in the early years. They have seen too much life and death, and they also understand how difficult it is to survive on the ever-changing battlefield. When Daoxin mentioned the death rate in the wounded barracks just now, they all closed their eyes in silence, as if recalling the miserable scenes they had seen in those years.

They knew better than anyone else what a precious gift Li Xin's debridement and suture technique was to the soldiers in charge of fighting on the battlefield. If there was such a thing back then, maybe those old friends could still live to this day, let's take a look at the scene on the eve of this peaceful and prosperous age?

Zhang Ben and Chen Hu didn't know what language to use to express their feelings, so they could only bend down for a long time, silently expressing their respect like sculptures.
