June of the thirteenth year of the Ming Dynasty.

On the river, which is several miles wide, the waves are rolling, and more than 1,000 large and small ships occupy the river densely, among which there are many three-masted ships equipped with dozens of guns, accompanied by sand boats carrying supplies, row-oars and clippers for reconnaissance and expulsion, and "dragon boats" with low stature but erecting a large-caliber gun on each of the two heads.

And in the center of this ship composed of thousands of ships, a huge four-masted ship fluttering on the central mainmast, a large silk fluttering with the river wind, on the book "restore the world's soldiers and horses Zhenguo General Zheng", this is just past Jiangyin's Zhenguo General Zheng Chenggong's Northern Dynasty fleet.

With the help of the southeast monsoon, the fleet sailed up the river, shelling the river defense positions of the Qing troops on both sides of the river, and the sound was like a thunderbolt. In the face of this terrifying posture, the Manchu River waterproofing division, which usually flaunted its might on the Yangtze River, all the ships that had not yet been sunk to the bottom of the river fled behind the "Rolling River Dragon" defense line in Guazhou, and did not dare to fight the idea of blocking the attack along the river.

It was nearly evening, and the morning sun dyed the western sky red, and also reflected the surging river.

The right admiral Ma Xin frowned and stared at the "Rolling River Dragon" on the map, which was the Manchu Qing Dynasty made the "Lock River Defense Line" with several iron locks to block the river, which was the first "hard bone" encountered by the fleet after entering the Yangtze River, as expected before the expedition, after the Zheng Jiajun's fleet entered the Yangtze River, it was not subject to effective resistance all the way, and when it sank several Qing warships on the downstream river, it did not even open fire, but only took advantage of the wind to collide with the Qing warships with heavy fortune ships, and in an instant, they were pressed to the bottom of the river like a car rolling mantis.

The point of the Qing army is just a sampan sailor, Ma Xin naturally looks down on it, but the real defense line of the Dongyu who is not accustomed to the sailor is not the sailor in the river, but the key point in its lock river!

On the Shili River from Zhenjiang on the south bank of the Yangtze River to Guazhou Shili on the north bank of the river, the Manchu Qing Dynasty spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build a long dam across the river with huge logs and boats. The dam surface is up to three zhang wide, and the top is covered with soil, which can run horses. There is also a wooden fence at the top of the dam that allows you to shoot up the river from behind the fence. There are gun emplacements every short distance, and the downstream of the wooden dam also crosses the Yangtze River with iron cables with a diameter of one foot to block sea vessels. This is accompanied by several camps floating on the river, ready to reinforce the weak links at any time. There are also 2,000 soldiers and more than 10 cannons stationed on Tanjiazhou in the center of the river.

With such a powerful river defense, how can the army break through against the current?

Although in the eyes of Ma Xin and other Zheng generals, the Manchu defense line was nothing more than a performance of poor donkey skills. Sun Hao played this trick back then, but caution is always wrong.

Just when Ma Xin was planning in his heart again in his heart, how to conquer the "Rolling River Dragon" in three days, someone came to report that the scout team had found a person of unknown origin, and the people below did not know what to do with it, so he was asked to decide.

"A man of unknown origin?"

Hearing this, Ma Xin was very puzzled, he asked if he didn't know the origin, and if he didn't say it, he would be punished, if he wanted to ask him about this kind of trivial matter, then he wouldn't be annoyed to death by such trivial matters.

"My lord's forgiveness, this person is really weird everywhere."

The officer who came to report said that the unknown person claimed to be Zhu Mingzhong, and when he asked him, he insisted that he was a Jianghu Langzhong, and he had traveled around with his master for many years, and he didn't know anything about his background and experience, but he only said that he was picked up by his master in the pile of corpses in Jiading, and he didn't know anything else, and the spy who found Zhu Mingzhong reported that he had the Ming Dynasty in his heart from this person's words, and it was observed that he didn't look like a spy of the Tartars, and after hearing that the army entered the Yangtze River, he immediately cut off his braids. On the way to join the army, he was captured by the spies who sent out.

"According to the spy, this person's medical skills are extremely good, especially the first-hand wound medical skills, and his wounds are sewn with needles and threads, and the military medical officer has heard of his name at most, and he doesn't know how to use it, so he doesn't dare to be the master, so he has come to ask the Admiral!"

"Oh!"

Listening to his subordinates talk about the cause and effect, Ma Xin couldn't help but be a little curious, although it was curiosity, but the curious thought was fleeting, after all, this was just a trivial matter, not worth his distraction.

"Since this person has my Ming in his heart, this time he went on the Northern Expedition, the prince has an order, we need to treat the refugees well, and these righteous people come to defect, don't chill the hearts of the righteous people. In addition, in a few days, our army will attack Hulu's "Rolling River Dragon", at that time, the death and wounding of the army will always be inevitable, and one more medical officer in the army will always be able to save a few more sons, well...... Leave him in the army as a medical officer! ”

It's just a small Jianghu Langzhong, in Ma Xin's eyes, a small Langzhong is naturally not worth seeing, but just between a few words, the position in this Jianghu Lang is given.

In fact, even if this is the case, it is also a rare blessing, you know, the average Jianghu Lang needs to be asked by Admiral Zuo, if it is not for his strange dress, and he has good medical skills, how can it be passed on to Ma Xin?

Fate is always so wonderful, just a few hours ago, Zhu Mingzhong was still in the southern part of the urban and rural areas where a large number of migrant workers live as an "unlicensed black doctor", and now, he has become a medical officer of Zheng Jiajun, although there is no grade, Zhu Mingzhong believes that with his epoch-making "surgical" skills, it will be a matter of time before he becomes famous.

Sometimes, "success" often comes a little earlier than expected, and almost as soon as he arrived in the medical camp, Zhu Mingzhong's "suturing technique" that was touted as a "ghost carving" caused the medical officers to be surprised.

Standing in the swaying cabin by the dim light of the oil lamp on the roof, Zhu Mingzhong was stitching up the wounds of the wounded, and in order to save the few sutures in the medical box, he did not use those sutures, but used the mulberry thread recorded in ancient books. Although there are many records of surgical sutures in ancient books, there are very few users. The reason for this is probably that the sutures are not sterilized, and the sutures may cause the wound to become more inflamed, so that inverted wound sutures are rarely used.

“…… Whether it's mulberry thread, or silk thread, of course, hair can also be used to suture wounds, such as vascular sutures, you can use hair, because hair can be absorbed by blood vessels, but it must be sterilized, that is, it needs to be soaked in spirits......"

It doesn't matter if the doctors of this era can understand what sterilization is and what sterilization is, it is important to tell them that they have to, as is now the wisps of mulberry thread soaked in the liquor in the porcelain bowl next to it.

Zhu Mingzhong explained while treating the wounded lying on the case, and several medical officers looked at his hand suturing technique dumbfounded.

"This needle, you need to use a curved needle, a straight needle can be used to mend clothes, but it is inconvenient to suture the wound, and the curved needle can easily suture the wound......"

Zhu Mingzhong sutured, while the other medical officers unreservedly explained the essentials of suturing wounds, how to tie sutures, etc., everyone looked like they were taught, in this era, almost no one would be like him, unreservedly teaching his "unique secret skills" to others, and other medical officers would not be grateful. All of them are extremely respectful.

"Finally, wipe the wound again with spirits!"

After the wound was stitched up, Zhu Mingzhong ordered the helper on the side, and then explained.

"In the future, the cotton cloth used to bandage the wound must be boiled in water, and after it is disinfected, the wound must be bandaged! This minimizes wound infection, and the cotton cloth is too dense, so if possible, use the kind of cotton cloth with a numb eye, so that the wound can be properly ventilated to heal more easily......"
