"What you said makes some sense." His Majesty Li Er nodded.

An old soldier like His Majesty Li Er agrees with Suning's idea. The scenes of the marching and fighting in the past appeared in front of His Majesty Li Er. There were definitely many soldiers who did not die on the battlefield but died of incurable treatment. His Majesty Li Er was willing to change, but was unable to turn the world back. The main reason was that there were too few doctors, either in the palace or scattered everywhere. Not to mention the army, even the people were sick, not to mention the recruitment of a considerable number of people into the army?

Not only the people are opposed, but some prefectures and counties may also strongly oppose it. You have sent away all the outstanding doctors, let alone the people, should these officials be cured? This will obviously be criticized a lot. His Majesty Li Er cannot do this, but Suning's idea opened another door to His Majesty Li Er.

Injured soldiers, whether they are injured or not, doctors are mostly treating diseases, but not many of them are good at treating injuries. Traditional Chinese medicine is skilled in internal medicine and is greatly influenced by Taoist thought. He opens his mouth and keeps his mouth invades the evil spirit and harmonizes the yin and yang. In surgery, he is surpassed by Western medicine and has never formed a system. The most powerful surgeon is probably Hua Tuo. Unfortunately, Hua Tuo's hard work for half of his life was destroyed. I don't know how much valuable experience in treating diseases and saving people is burned. It's a pity.

Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine is better than internal medicine and shorter than surgery. As for surgery, it will be regarded as a fatal act. Can bleeding be destined to die?! There was no blood transfusion technology at this time. The ancients attached great importance to blood, unlike Europe. If you get a disease, you will bleed. In ancient China, you wanted to treat people with blood? Most people's way is to catch the pig cage soaked!

Suning's approach is obviously very effective. Because there is basically no need for internal medicine when marching and fighting, unless you go deep into the wilderness, you will use internal medicine. Generally speaking, it is mainly the wound of swords, so it has a lot to do with surgery. It is very feasible to train a group of soldiers to become medical soldiers, do some simple auxiliary work, and emergency treatment. Then send the wounded soldiers to the rear for treatment.

In order to achieve this goal, Suning felt that field hospitals must be born. The Tang Dynasty did not lack money for building field hospitals. There was no shortage of manpower or supplies. Just allocate some materials, gather military Chinese and Chinese military doctors, train a group of medical soldiers, and purchase and gather enough medicinal materials. Then a field hospital was born. At that time, the army was fighting in the front, and the field hospital followed closely behind. As soon as the war broke out, it would immediately open to treat the wounded, and then send the wounded back to the base camp to recuperate. After the injury was recovered, the wounded soldiers could return to the team.

This is not an ordinary requirement for logistics, but fortunately this is the Tang Dynasty and the prosperous China. There is no shortage of these materials and these personnel. His Majesty Li Er can do it immediately with the order.

However, where should these people go? Forget it, let’s put it into practice first. As for the candidates... by the way! Sun Simiao!

"Your Majesty, I actually have another idea. We can list a separate medical and nursing service organization in the army, called a field hospital." Suning said enthusiastically.

His Majesty Li Er frowned and asked, "What is a field hospital?"

Suning replied: "If the army conducts defensive operations in the city, it will naturally not be considered a field battle. My idea is that when a large army expeditions to certain rebels, it will inevitably fight in the field. When far away from the local area, the injured soldiers will be injured if they cannot obtain thorough will and timely cultivation, they will easily suffer from the root of the disease and even die. Simple medical soldiers cannot handle the more serious injuries.

So we can build a mobile hospital with all the supplies, and when we arrive, we can start to rescue people immediately. Not only medical soldiers, but also famous doctors should be there to treat those soldiers who are too seriously injured, and then organize people to send these wounded soldiers who are seriously injured and need to be recuperated back to the local area for rest without worrying about dying because they are too far away from the local area and not getting effective treatment."

His Majesty Li Er nodded while listening, and then thought for a while: "It makes sense, field hospitals, timely treatment, Suning, tell me quickly, what should we do specifically? I think this border should not be peaceful again. Let's do this earlier and verify the results earlier. If it is really useful, it will continue to be implemented. This is too important for the Tang Dynasty."

Suning nodded and said, "The first step is to find a respected and highly skilled doctor to be the leader. This doctor must have enough reputation and can be appointed by the court as the director of the field hospital to lead all things in the field hospital. As for medical soldiers, His Majesty can choose from the army, and then he can recruit a group of doctors who are good at treating sword wounds from the people to teach these medical soldiers, so that they can learn how to provide the simplest treatment for the wounded soldiers in the shortest time.

Then there is the allocation of materials, the medicinal materials must be sufficient, bandages must be sufficient, and there must be enough stretchers and beds for wounded soldiers, so that doctors can treat them, and there must be enough guards to protect field hospitals, and there must be enough wine. And..." Before Suning finished speaking, he was interrupted by His Majesty Li Er: "Wine? What should I do for wine? Drinking is prohibited in the army, don't you not know?"

Suning was stunned. He thought that there was no concept of disinfection in the Tang Dynasty, nor did he know that wound infections, but he only knew that inflammation would kill people, but he didn't know how to avoid inflammation. Suning now has no good way to deal with inflammation and antibiotics? That thing is chemicals, and can only be avoided from the source, which is alcohol disinfection. So Suning said: "Your Majesty, the wine I mentioned is not for drinking, but for cleaning the wound!"

His Majesty Li Er frowned and asked, "Absurd! How can wine be used to clean the wound? That's made of grain! It's food. If you use wine to clean the wound, wouldn't it be a waste of natural resources? What's more, wine is never allowed in the army unless it's a celebration banquet!"

Suning explained: "Your Majesty, do you know why there is inflammation?"

His Majesty Li Er was stunned and shook his head: "I don't know, if I could know, it would naturally be cured, but inflammation cannot be cured. At least there is no doctor who can cure it. What? Can you?" His Majesty Li Er was a little surprised. He could not know the lethality of inflammation.

Suning shook his head: "I cannot treat it, but it can be prevented!"

His Majesty Li Er said in confusion: "Prevent? How to prevent it? Can drinking alcohol prevent inflammation? Just clean the wound with alcohol?"

Suning nodded: "That's true! Your Majesty. The reason for inflammation is that I and Master have explored during the travels. The main thing is some dirty things around the wound. These dirty things will not enter our bodies, but once we are injured, cut or scratched by a knife, the knife and the ground are all caused. How dirty these dirty things go along with the blood and enter our bodies, which will cause inflammation."

His Majesty Li Er frowned: "Is inflammation caused by these dirty things?"

Suning nodded. He had no way to tell His Majesty Li Er about bacteria and viruses, so he had to use dirty things to replace them. This made it so that it was dirty anyway, and there was nothing to say. It was really dirty, so he could only say this to make His Majesty Li Er understand.

His Majesty Li Er then asked: "Can you clean these dirty things with wine and avoid inflammation?"

Suning nodded: "This has been tested. Of course, the stronger these wines are, the better, and the more effective it is to eliminate these dirts. Although it is very painful, it is the manifestation of the wine removing these dirts. Therefore, the wounded soldiers should use strong liquor to clean the wounds before using drugs and bandages to stop bleeding. This is foolproof; so the army is not allowed to drink alcohol, but the field hospital must be equipped with these strong liquors."

His Majesty Li Er pondered for a while: "If this is the case, it would be fine, then there is no problem with the rest, but who would be the best candidate for the director of this field hospital?"

Suning said: "Sun Simiao!"

"What? Your Majesty wants the veteran to serve as the director of the field hospital? Field hospital? Is this your Majesty newly established?" Sun Simiao turned around and asked in surprise.

After His Majesty Li Er elected Sun Simiao as an excellent candidate, His Majesty Li Er also agreed. At present, Sun Simiao is the most suitable doctor who is the most famous, the highest-quality, the most artistic doctor, the indifferent to fame and fortune, and the best character. However, Sun Simiao is a monk. Whether he is willing to take up this position is that His Majesty Li Er has no confidence, and Suning has no confidence, but he has to give it a try, right?

So Suning said: "Yes, this suggestion was proposed by the boy. After all, the boy was born in the army and understood the sufferings in the army. After a big battle, the dead of the battle accounted for about 30% of all the dead, and most of the dead died of injuries and died of untreated treatment. Therefore, the boy suggested that Your Majesty build a field hospital, concentrate the doctors in the rear of the war, treat the wounded soldiers in time, and save the lives of these seven soldiers who should not be dying."

Suning could see that Sun Simiao was a little moved, but after a long time, Sun Simiao shook his head: "The old Taoist is a monk. A monk should not step into the court to do things. The old Taoist treats the people of the world like this, but it is not bad. If he always follows the army and only treats the generals and soldiers, what should the people do? Monks are compassionate and should treat the people of the world. There are military doctors in the army and imperial physicians in the court. Their medical skills are not lower than those of the old Taoist, so why should the old Taoist be the dean?"

Suning said seriously: "Master Sun, first of all, you do not do this just for generals and soldiers, but for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Do you know that the treatment you are not just generals and soldiers, but also families, especially soldiers. They were farmers. For the honor of the Tang Dynasty, they left their families and rushed to the battlefield without their lives and the burden of supporting their families. The family looked forward to their victory, but because they could not be treated, they turned into cold corpses and could never go back. Some of them had old and young, and were the pillars of a family, but they collapsed because they could not be treated. Have you ever thought about their family's feelings?

You also said that there are so many good doctors in the world. There are many other excellent doctors in Chang'an. How many people can you treat in Chang'an? How many people can you treat in a day? How many people in a month? How many people in a year? But what about in the army? There are thousands or even tens of thousands of injured people in a day's war! Compared with the two, who is more important? Of course, it is not that the safety of the people is not important, but that wars do not occur frequently. When there is no war, you can still treat the people in Chang'an.

More importantly, field hospitals are not just you and other doctors, they need hundreds or even tens of thousands of medical soldiers! Do you know what medical soldiers are? Your Majesty chose you and hope that you will lead the doctors to train these medical soldiers to master the most basic treatment methods for sword injuries, and then these medical soldiers will do the heaviest and simplest hemostasis bandage. You are in the field hospital and treat those soldiers who are too seriously injured!

Master Sun, is it that you have the power of one person, or are there many thousands of people? You can choose from these medical soldiers with good understanding and good talent to teach and formal medical skills. Ten are less than one hundred, one hundred are less than one thousand, and one thousand are less than ten thousand! Among the ten thousand apprentices, there are always a few dozen who can learn medical skills as superb as you. One Sun Simiao is not enough, so what about the ten Sun Simiao?
