Chapter 407: Surgery

The road from Mexico City to Acapulco is not far, and Chen Mu can really feel at ease on this road, even more at ease than when he walked to Guangzhou Mansion in Qingyuan.

All the people walking around this land, except for the banner army who listened to his orders, that is, his armor militia, and every bird gun sticking out of the surrounding buildings on both sides of the official road pointed to where to fight, is there a more reassuring place in the world?

The first thing he did after returning to Changsheng was to send a message to Chen Shigong, a first-class doctor in the military hospital, asking him to come to the military government's yamen, and at the same time sent Juniper and Tang Er.

Tang Er met Chen Mu on the road, he returned to Daxigang from England one day later than Chen Mu to Mexico City, Chen Mu left from Mexico on the front foot, he went to Yang Tingxiang to report on the back foot, and heard that Chen Mu was on the way, so he followed non-stop.

He had two things, one was to go to the military warehouse in Acapulco to find out what other old goods had been captured in the Second Ming-Western War, and let the Ordnance Bureau renovate it and sell it to England; The second is that when he was in England, he relied on his clever tongue to step on the inside and stepped on the point, and secondly, he relied on his dexterity to steal, and got something from the royal armory in London, and wanted to show it to the Ordnance Bureau.

Chen Mu was originally quite expecting what he had gotten, but after reading it, he found that it was not very useful, it was nothing more than some strange-shaped hammers and forging dies, and he didn't know how this guy took a huge risk to turn into the arsenal of England and get these tools that would make a clanging sound when they were touched together.

"But this spirit deserves encouragement."

When Tang Erliang was sweating profusely with a twenty or thirty pound of odd-shaped anvil in his hands, and the tools piled up under his feet could open an iron shop, and his bright eyes were full of expectations waiting to be praised, what else could Chen Mu say except encouragement?

"Don't be in a hurry to go back this time, go to the Zongmu University to find Mr. Xu to learn how to draw paper, go back and go again, don't keep thinking about drilling in the armory, there are no good things there, go to their mill, the village blacksmith and those places to have a look, and do more things that are not dangerous and have high returns."

Chen Mu looked at Tang Er and said, "You are very important to the military government and the Ming Dynasty, don't risk yourself again." ”

Hearing these words of the Oriental Minister in Tang Er's ears, he was a thief with no skills, stunned the flag army, stole weapons, was beaten after being caught, and his household registration was eliminated to Mexico City for training, and he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, which was enough for him to be grateful.

Now Chen Mu, who is the Minister of the East, still values himself so much, so he doesn't know what to say, so he immediately bowed down and said: "The villain has committed a capital crime, the handsome man cherishes my talent, and this five-foot body will repay the kindness of the handsome!" ”

"Hurry up, the military government is not happy to bow down, what I let you do is not glorious, but the fault is not yours but me, you just obey orders, you don't have to have a burden in your heart."

Stealing is not only dishonorable, but it is also wrong, which in itself is wrong.

However, Chen Mu believes that there is no moral right or wrong in the competition between countries for the living space, and the lower limit of the morality of competitors can never be formulated, only strength and weakness.

When competitors use espionage, stealing, etc. to gain an advantage, a righteous gentleman will certainly try his best to defend himself.

But Chen Mu is not a righteous gentleman, he just needs to win.

Chen Shigong looked very anxious when he arrived at the yamen of the military government, the clothes he wore during the operation had not had time to change, and his abdomen and sleeves were stained with leaching pale bloodstains. ”

"It doesn't matter." Chen Mu waved his hand, looking at Chen Shigong like this, he was curious, and asked, "Kill yourself, can you save yourself?" ”

First-class physicians mainly do research and teaching, and usually don't have to save people by themselves, but Chen Mu felt that it was difficult to save the patient's injuries just by hearing the reason for the injury, so he killed himself...... Is this thing still saved?

"I have tried my best, and whether I can survive depends on its creation, but the operation on both sides of my neck like this has saved seven people." As he spoke, Chen Shigong put his fist to his mouth and thought about it, and said: "It should be six, there is a prisoner of the Western Kingdom, and the wound has only been long for a day, and General Shao's Yizi Jiao heard that he was alive, and he was pulled out of the wounded barracks and killed." ”

What Chen Shigong said was easy to understand, that is, half of his neck was broken, but when Chen Mu heard it, he felt incredible, and even forgot the reason why Chen Shigong was called, and asked, "How did you save it?" ”

"This is very difficult, we must be fast, such as the large county with more than 100,000 people who often wins, there are many self-murderers, injuries in battles, and many people who have been cut and pierced on the battlefield, and they are often exhausted before they are sent to the wounded barracks and military medical battalions, and there is nothing they can do about it."

"If you are interested in this, I will talk about it below." Chen Shigong pursed his lips and said: "Only when the injured person's forehead is not cold and the breath is desperate, can the silk thread suture the crossing, the needle worker should be familiar, the most taboo raw hands, apply more peach blossom powder, quickly lay four or five layers of cotton paper on the knife edge, and tie the silk around five or six turns, so that the patient can lie on his back and his head rests high, so that the neck is not straight and the knife edge is not open." ”

"When the patient's qi comes out from the mouth and nose, the danger has been removed by half, and then it is three days to ginseng, ginger, and rice to replenish the vitality, and change the dressing after three days, and only after the operation can you wipe the wound with thick onion soup, and the wound can be replaced with peach blossom powder, and then apply jade red paste to cover the thin cotton slices, covered with black ointment, one to invigorate blood and muscles, two to remove pus and blood ulceration, one change on the third day of the winter month, and one change on the two days of the summer month."

"In this way, there is no pain naturally, and its flesh gradually grows from the two ends, and then takes Bazhen soup to regulate the rest of the month, but this will make the stool dry, and it cannot be benefited by medicine, and can only be poured into the hub by the pig gallbladder method."

Chen Shigong's body sat upright, looked at Chen Mu with his hand and tapped the tea case, and said: "If you break it on one side, you will finish it in forty days; If both sides are broken, it will take 100 days to heal. ”

Hearing this set of procedures, Chen Mu sighed with emotion, shook his head and said: "The doctor worked so hard to save one person, and General Shao pulled it out and killed him again, this is really ......"

"Maybe it's his fate."

Chen Shigong arched his hand as he said and asked, "I don't know what happened when the handsome man came down in a hurry?" ”

Chen Mu was so excited by the neck anastomosis that the first person in Daming's surgery talked about neck anastomosis, so that he reacted when he was reminded, remembering that he had something else to do with Chen Shigong, so he said: "Chen asked Mr. to come over to ask, how much do you know about Spanish disease?" ”

"Spanish disease, the big marshal is talking about bayberry sores."

When it came to this disease, Chen Shigong, who was still full of confidence and radiant energy, looked solemn, and from his expression, Chen Mu could see that the first-class doctor thought that this was a more difficult condition than neck anastomosis.

"This disease is divided into gasification and refinement, and the gasification comes from the upper sores on the face, which is milder than the disease; The disease of refined sores is severe, and it is not difficult to treat alone, but its condition is changeable, and it is extremely difficult to prescribe the right medicine; In China, it is completely different from Asia, and there are still people in the country who are perverse and suddenly fall ill when evil spirits attack, while in Asia they suddenly appear. It is the most time-consuming and exhausting, and it is the most common disease in Asia. ”

"Until now, there is no quick cure for this disease, only the right medicine, internal and external conditioning, such as the treatment method, mild cases will be cured in half a year, and severe cases will be eliminated in one year."

Chen Shigong shook his head slightly and sighed, and then he was worried that Chen Mu had this disease, so he reminded him in advance: "Therefore, the disease is not similar to other diseases, and the poison will be left behind if it heals quickly. ”

"Some people later went to other doctors, rubbed their hands and feet with mercury, bile alum and other medicines, and their sores healed within half a month, but then poisoned into the bone marrow, and the drugs should not be, and the poison was rotten within half a year, and the pain was unspeakable, and the legs and feet were limp for life for another two years, and they were deaf and their temperament changed greatly."

"There are also people and prostitutes who seek a quick recovery, seek other doctors to take pills and smoke them with charcoal, or use smoked strips in vain, fight poison with poison, and use more medicine until they vomit blood in half of the stool and die."

Gasification, refinement?

Chen Mu didn't know much about these Chen Shigong terms, he just listened carefully, and after Chen Shigong finished speaking, he asked slowly: "Do you want to make a mirror, so that people can see smaller things, and see these enemies that you have fought all your life?" ”
