"I may have a solution to the problem of suppuration and infection!"

"What? Your Majesty really has a way?"

"Your Majesty, I sincerely ask your Majesty to give me the prescription. I will not give up even if I die!"

"Your Majesty, as long as you can give me the prescription, I will have to find the medicine even if I have to climb mountains of swords and seas of fire!"

"Your Majesty, as long as the problems of suppuration and infection can be solved, I would like to thank Your Majesty on behalf of all the soldiers in the army!"

"Your Majesty, after almost every battle, at least 10% of minor injuries will lead to death, and almost 90% of serious injuries will lead to death.

If wound suppuration and infection can be controlled, the injured soldier's chance of survival will be much greater!

These soldiers who have been injured on the battlefield but have not died are the elite of the army. They are definitely much better than new recruits, and they save time, effort and money. "



As soon as Chongzhen finished speaking, many generals, including Qin Liangyu, all knelt down.

The eyes of the seriously injured sergeants nearby immediately shone with light, and they struggled to stand up.

Because of the large range of movements, the wound hurt, and he groaned coldly, but he still knelt down towards Chongzhen.

They are not afraid of death, but if they can survive, who can die?

"Everyone, get up. Since I said it, I will definitely take it out, but there is no way now!"

Looking at the pair of eyes that were eager to live, they were instantly filled with disappointment. Chongzhen's heart trembled.

He said in a deep voice: "I'm really not making excuses. I accidentally saw that method in an ancient book.

If I hadn't arrived at the battlefield today and heard about the Teppanyaki method, I would have hardly thought of it.

Moreover, the recorded method requires the use of wine and salt, which is really unbelievable. I don’t know whether it can be successful or not, so I have to find a doctor to study it.

But don't worry, soldiers, even if you can't get it out today, I promise not to give up on you and do everything possible to cure you. "

After Chongzhen finished speaking, all the generals were really confused. It was both wine and salt. To treat wounds, do you need to soak them in salt and wine?

Thinking of this, everyone trembled all over and felt numb just thinking about the feeling of rubbing salt into a wound.

Yuan Keli hesitated for a moment and said in an uncertain tone: "Your Majesty, do you want to use strong alcohol to clean the wound?"

"We'll wait until we get back to Beijing. No matter whether it works or not, we have to give it a try."

Chongzhen shook his head. Distilled liquor has been around since the Yuan Dynasty, but it only has 40 to 50 degrees.

And because of drinking habits, high alcohol is not very popular.

It doesn't work on the battlefield now, mainly because of two points. One is that the concentration is not enough, medical alcohol must be 75-78%, and the other is the wrong use.

Most people think that cleaning wounds with high-strength liquor can reduce the risk of suppuration and infection. This is actually wrong.

Medical alcohol can only be used on skin and mucous membranes, and can also be used on superficial abrasions, but cannot be used on deep wounds.

It will cause the tissue around the wound to be destroyed due to protein coagulation, affecting wound healing.

Medical alcohol is used for disinfection, coupled with sore medicine and herbs such as dandelion, purslane, plantain, pistacia, skullcap, achyranthes, asarum, and astragalus that contain natural antibiotics and penicillin.

Even if the effect is worse, it is still better than the current method.

I dare not say more, but the mortality rate of minor and serious injuries can be reduced by at least 50 to 60%.

Physiological saline can also clean wounds. Although the technical difficulty is not high, it cannot be done in this simple place. This time when I go back, the Daming Qihuang (TCM) Research Institute should also be put on the agenda.

After watching the white pole soldiers, we went to the military camp of Tengxiang Zuowei.

In Tengxiang's left guard, he only said one sentence: All officers and soldiers, you are worthy of being my own soldiers. I am very satisfied with this battle.

One sentence made the eyes of all the soldiers on Teng Xiang's left guard turn red.

As a pro-soldier among the emperor's pro-soldiers, the emperor spent countless amounts of money. Whether it was weapons and armor, military pay, food, accommodation, etc., it was much higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and the pressure was also great.

This battle proved the correctness of the emperor's decision and also proved themselves, which is extremely important to soldiers and an army.

Throughout the morning, Chongzhen wandered around several military camps near Longjing Pass, stopping from time to time to talk to the sergeants.

In the Shanhaiguan military camp, Chongzhen stopped when he looked at a sergeant with a somewhat immature face standing upright at the gate.

"What's your name? How old are you?"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, my name is Li Erga from Cao Cao. He is nineteen years old and has been in the army for two years!"

"Oh, I've been in the army for two years at the age of nineteen. I'm already a veteran. It's not easy!"

Chongzhen smiled and looked at the people around him: "Going to the battlefield to kill enemies at the age of nineteen is much better than those scholars outside!"

"Two...Gah, do you have any wishes...that is, do you have any ideas for the future?"

The young man's face instantly turned red, and he said coyly: "I'm illiterate, and I just want to join the army for a few more years.

After retiring from the army, I will use my military pay to buy a few acres of land, then marry a wife, have a few children, and serve my wife at home..."

Chongzhen was silent. Such a simple and simple idea, but for these young people, it is difficult to reach the sky, and they must risk their lives.

It would be better if you meet an honest general, and you will not embezzle their military pay and military honors.

With any luck, these dreams can come true in a single battle.

But in today's nine-border, eleven-town, five-hundred guardhouses, how many generals are not greedy?

Let alone the general who embezzled military pay, it is already very good if the court can distribute military pay on time.

The faces of the generals behind him were also a little ugly. They knew very well what was going on in the army.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, the grassroots have killed three slaves this time!"

The sudden voice interrupted everyone's embarrassment, and Chongzhen was overjoyed: "Hahaha... Okay, based on your performance this time, it's okay to buy a few acres of fertile land as a reward from the court!

From now on, we will overthrow Shengjing and destroy the Jiannu and Mongolian tribes.

As long as you work hard, there are still many opportunities to make meritorious deeds, and your wishes will come true.

Maybe I can personally seal you at a certain award ceremony in the future. Take good care of yourself. I'm waiting for your performance! "

After Chongzhen finished speaking, he patted Li Erga on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Even though he has been on the throne for nearly a year, the Ming Dynasty has made some improvements and the government has become more stable.

But feeding nearly 20 million people throughout the Ming Dynasty has not yet been completed, let alone the dreams he had when he first came here. There is still a lot to do.

"The road is long and long, and I will search up and down!"

"Your Majesty, I believe that it will definitely come true!"

Listening to Chongzhen's emotion, Yuan Keli responded in a low voice, his eyes full of firm goals.

In the following time, Chongzhen wandered around the military camps, listening to the low-level military attachés' thoughts on the army and establishing slaves. He had all kinds of fantastic ideas.

Should the emperor be aloof and alone? He doesn't think so. Why do the heads of state in later generations always go to the grassroots level?

In this age of feudal imperial power, the emperor was like a god in the eyes of the common people.

I was able to stop communicating with the lowest level, comfort and encourage them. When word spread among the army, when all the rewards for this battle were distributed to the hands, and when the sergeants did the follow-up work for the sergeants who died in the battle,

The sergeants will support him from the bottom of their hearts, and that is enough.

Love the people like a son, and use your authority;

If you love your soldiers as your sons, victory will be complete;

Holding the people and military power tightly, no matter how overwhelming the flood is, it is a breeze blowing on his face.
