Regarding the colonel's half-said words and hints, Zhou Changfeng thought that he should probably commend him later?
The Battle of Demaghi was crucial at the operational level and commendable tactically. He was somewhat proud of being able to achieve such results in his first battle.
So, why don’t you give yourself a medal?
But then again, the British and Indian troops can only be considered a third-rate opponent. It would be a bit of a mistake to take this battle too seriously.
After leaving the Garrison Command, he took a tram north along Chengxian Avenue and finally came to Yingtian Army General Hospital.
The location of this large-scale and well-equipped hospital is also excellent, with Xuanwu Lake to the north, Jilong Mountain to the west, and the former Shangyuan County School to the southwest.
Jilong Mountain, also known as Jiming Mountain, is the remnant of Purple Mountain. At the eastern foot of it is the famous Jiming Temple. This is an ancient temple with a history of more than 1,700 years. The incense has always been strong and it can be called... Is a witness to history.
As for Shangyuan County School, after the reform of the academic system, it became the No. 1 Middle School of Shangyuan County. But it's already past July now, and the students had their summer vacation a few days ago.
The three-step process of registering your identity, registering for medical treatment, and checking into the ward are all the same?
Zhou Changfeng, who was in the hospital, found that although it was called Army Hospital, it was basically ordinary people.
In fact, this is also the reason for the edict advocating martial arts at that time, and the policies adapted to it are working in many aspects. For example, a family of a soldier has a 40% discount for medical treatment in military hospitals.
This is actually a very outrageous policy, because the definition of "a family" is much wider than the military dependents there before Zhou Changfeng traveled through. Military dependents only include spouses, children, parents and relatives with support obligations, while a family is the entire family. Brothers, sisters, grandparents are included.
These days they all have big families, and a couple has at least several children.
In its earliest days, this policy was probably decided at once, with vague classifications and one-size-fits-all. A family would have a 50% exemption within ten years from the time of service, and all military and civilian personnel were covered by it.
And because Ming Dynasty's military service is voluntary, you can choose the shortest three years when signing a military contract, that is, a contract. Therefore, a large number of people choose to take advantage of this - they have many children anyway, and if any one of them is sent to serve as a soldier for three years, the whole family can enjoy ten years of medical exemptions.
So it stands to reason that within a few years, the financial expenditures of military hospitals exploded into deficit.
Later, this policy was refined and revised - the 50% exemption was reduced to 40%; after retirement, this exemption is limited to individuals and is divided into three levels according to the length of service.
As for the scope of "one family", it was retained because the Ministry of War believed that if the scope of exemptions and exemptions were further narrowed, there would be no effect in correcting the trend.
"Look, there's another fragment here, very small."
"Didn't you notice it before?"
"This one is too small. If it wasn't here, I might have kept it forever."
After another X-ray, a middle-aged doctor and an old doctor with white hair and beard discussed together, and then Zhou Changfeng learned that there was a tiny fragment hidden on the side of his left rib. The small X-ray machine was not very accurate and found nothing.
However, both doctors said that it is not difficult. The key to this kind of surgery is to "accurately remove all the fragments at one time" to avoid suffering from a second surgery in the future. Now, all the shell fragments and rib fragments have been identified. , then sprinkle water on it.
Interestingly, after the old doctor with white hair and beard took Zhou Changfeng's pulse and looked at his tongue, he said that his Qi and blood were not enough, and he also had some yin deficiency and excessive fire.
The surprised Zhou Changfeng hurriedly asked if it was serious. The old doctor smiled and said that he only needed to take some yin-nourishing medicine during the next five days of observation in the hospital, and pay more attention to his diet in the future.
"Then go and get the prescription and hand it over to the hospitalization department. They will take care of it."
"good."
[Although the Ming Dynasty has become a modern medicine, in fact, classical Chinese medicine also included surgical operations, and the Sui and Tang Dynasties were the most developed times of Chinese medical surgery. This topic is worth talking about, and I will talk about it when I have the opportunity in the future. 】
Zhou Changfeng was admitted to the hospital that day. After resting peacefully for a night in an exclusive single ward, he was taken into the operating room early the next morning.
The attire of the doctors and nurses was roughly similar to what I saw when I first traveled through time a few days ago. It was not white, but a very light light green; the doctors and nurses in the operating room had to put on an additional gray-green surgical coat.
Lying on the operating table, a gray white cloth with a round hole in the middle covered the body. The surgeon talked a few words with several people around him, and then administered anesthesia.
Up and down, Zhou Changfeng could feel a total of four needles being inserted into his chest and abdomen, and then cold cotton swabs dipped in boric acid were wiped around the injured area for disinfection.
Although there was no pain under local anesthesia, the basic touch was still there. Zhou Changfeng could even feel the sharp scalpel scratching and pulling on his skin, and the tweezers picking up fragments and bone fragments.
The shadowless lamp above my head is so bright that it dazzles my eyes even if I close my eyes.
As a major advancement in facilitating surgical operations, the shadowless lamp was born in the 1920s. The Frenchman Wayland invented the prototype of the shadowless lamp, which evenly arranged many plane mirrors and placed a light bulb in the center, giving the whole a funnel shape. Today, more than ten years later, The second-generation shadowless lamp that has been initially improved has been put into use. For example, the one Zhou Changfeng is wearing is a new domestic shadowless lamp that has just left the factory.
The surgeon in charge seemed to be at ease, chatting while moving his hands.
He asked intently: "How come you came back alone? Where are your soldiers?"
"Air freight capacity is limited, so they have to go back by car."
"Where are the wounded?"
"The lightly wounded are accompanying the larger troops, and the seriously wounded are taking flights to Chengdu one after another."
The Air Force has deployed four squadrons of transport aircraft to transport supplies to Lhasa and Lingzhi, loading goods on the way out and transporting people on the way back.
After less than half an hour, after repeatedly confirming that all the small metal fragments and rib fragments were cleaned up, the doctor began to use Dakin's solution and boric acid to clean the wound, and then sutured it.
"Okay, it's done. Just be careful these days. Once it heals, you'll be a good man again." The surgeon said with a sigh of relief.
The operation ended, but the pain soon came.
These days, there is a lack of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory painkillers with stronger analgesic effects. They are either aspirin with a weak analgesic effect, or something with a strong analgesic effect.
Zhou Changfeng naturally did not want to choose the latter, so the bursts of pain that followed after the anesthetic wore off were very unbearable. He was restless and could only lie on the hospital bed and read the newspaper to distract himself.
When he saw the second page, a medium-sized headline immediately caught his attention - "Changes in Spain, Army Rebellion"
"Jiji News Agency Spain reported on the 7th: Since the 5th, the Spanish army and air force have launched successive uprisings. The rebellion has spread to many parts of the country. Now..."
Yes, it is July, and although the time has changed slightly, the storm on the Iberian Peninsula has still arrived.
