Chapter 90: Medical Uniforms
"That's right, that's it! In the future, people will say that the first medical uniform of the Ming military doctor was made in Yangon! ”
Cheng Hongyuan was wearing a beige cotton sewn dress, with a cross-collar on the right side, a belt on the sleeve, a foot below the waist, a calf wrapped around the calves, a headscarf, a cotton mask, and cloth gloves.
Tie a wide cloth belt, carry a waist bag, a backpack, the waist pack is attached to several medicine bottle bags and three small knife scabbards, for three types of military gold trauma scalpels, the backpack is equipped with breathable cotton cloth made of simple bandages, hand towels, surgical aprons and all kinds of drugs and surgical tools.
The two sleeves of the helper belt are all red dyed cloth, with ink calligraphy, and a cloth is sewn on the chest, indicating the establishment and identity.
The old doctor was uncomfortable in his new clothes, and asked Chen Mu with a bitter face and hatred: "Dashuai, is this line of work feasible?" ”
"Okay, that's great." Chen Mu was very satisfied, and said: "The so-called etiquette system is the etiquette system and specific regulations, to let people know the system, we must first distinguish from the manners, although the previous military doctors have skills, but they look no different from ordinary people, now like this, the spirit is neat, the key is clean, clean can prevent diseases in the first place." ”
"You have read the specific regulations of the military doctor, go back and see what the deficiencies are, add them, and then report them to me, and if there is no problem, send someone to copy them, and then issue them among the doctors and craftsmen, and set them as a rule in the army." Chen Mu said to Cheng Hongyuan: "Don't think that this dress is too tight, you can only prevent mosquito bites if you cover it tightly, you are the life-saving benefactor of the flag army on the battlefield, you must be conspicuous...... What do you feel uncomfortable about? ”
Cheng Hongyuan looked at Chen Mu's smug look, and he didn't want to worry a lot about him, but just raised his two hands with white gloves and said, "It's okay to do anything else, just this glove, when you go through surgery, you are afraid of affecting your activities." ”
"The old man also considered the disinfection that the marshal said, whether he could not wear it at ordinary times, and wear it when he used it, otherwise it would be dirty at ordinary times, and then he would operate on the flag army for fear that it would be worse, so it was better not to wear it."
"Yes!" Chen Mu nodded one after another, happily paced a few laps in the handsome tent, and then said: "That's it, don't wear it usually, wash it and keep it in your waist pocket, and then take it out and wear it when you use it - since there is no problem with this outfit, I will order the increase and the flag army to be isolated, how about it?" ”
"It's time for the marshal to take his medicine."
Chen Muzheng said, and Cheng Hongyuan handed over the wine soup and pills.
The newly sent herbs from Malacca, Cheng Hongyuan and his apprentices rushed to make them, because this kind of malaria pill is short, he has to eat it all the time, and sometimes in order to absorb the medicine, he has to drink a little wine to dissolve the power of the medicine, which makes him very bored, he doesn't even know if he has malaria, but he still has to take the medicine.
After drinking the wine mixed with pills, he heard Cheng Hongyuan say: "The herbs were delivered in time, most of the flag troops were safe, the three isolation barracks were fully prepared for deworming, and the infection that Chen Shuai said was also contained, but it will take at least seven days to cure, and since yesterday, the flag army has been using medicine, and no one has killed themselves all day and night." ”
Since the outbreak of malaria in the army, the first few days of isolation, mosquito control is not timely, so that malaria spreads wantonly in the army, and when it is found that nearly 1,000 people have been infected, high cold and high fever, and then the sick barracks are isolated, in just 10 days, nearly 300 of the banner army under his command have died of various diseases.
It was almost enough to catch up with the total number of flag troops he had killed in the battle with Mo Jingdian for several months.
First of all, the medicine was not delivered, and some people had a fever that burned their brains, and they went stupid and crazy; This was followed by cramps at the onset of the disease, and the cramps and crums in the fury screamed to death.
Panic spread not only in the isolation barracks, but also among the healthy banner troops in the three camps, all kinds of rumors flew all over the sky, and said that they killed too many people and had bad retribution, some said that they were riddled with bad luck, and even said that they were reckless and cursed them, so there were rumors that they were killed by military law by spreading rumors and disturbing the morale of the army.
Those who are not sick are afraid of this, let alone those who are already sick, some people escape from the isolation camp, some people take the war profits and leave the camp at night, and they are all caught by the patrol sentry and die.
There are also those who simply committed suicide in the isolation camp, two days before the herbs were delivered, and the people were fine in the evening, and in the morning when the flag army went to deliver food, either someone in this barracks hanged themselves, or someone in that barracks secretly wiped their necks, and at most twenty-three people died in one day because of this alone.
In those two days, the medicine in the baggage did not work if it was not taken care of, but whenever the medical prescription was correct, Chen Mu poured it into his stomach, and Qi Jun's emotions also affected him, and he was afraid that he would suffer from such a disease.
After pouring up, vomiting and diarrhea, he covered himself tightly and drilled into the isolation camp, cheered up the sick flag soldiers one by one, and told them that he would definitely save everyone, so that they would never violate military law and never commit suicide.
The banner army that malaria really killed, in fact, there are only more than thirty, more fear and despair, those who are in despair and angry and even delirious will even lead them to fight the capital governor sword against each other, if it is not for Juniper to lead his own soldiers to protect properly, Chen Mu will die in the hands of his own soldiers several times.
He couldn't do anything without medicine, except for those guarantees that didn't have the slightest practical effect.
But even so, he still had to go to the quarantine barracks, five times and three times, that was the only way he could save the lives of more of his subordinates before the herbs were delivered.
It wasn't until the herbs were delivered, the first batch of pills were sent to the isolation camp, and some people got better due to treatment, which completely stabilized the mood of the sick flag army, not that the medicine can absolutely cure every flag army, but at least they can see a little hope, Cheng Hongyuan gave Chen Mu a real truth, even if there is enough medicine, there are at least one percent of the flag army that cannot be saved.
But this is enough to make Chen Mu feel relieved, it's good to have hope.
After drinking the medicine, Chen Mu let out a long sigh, and then said to Cheng Hongyuan: "This time the isolation of the flag army, the way to treat malaria, must be passed on, not only in the army, but also sent back to the country - this is still malaria transmitted by mosquitoes, and we will encounter a real plague in the future." ”
The smallpox that Europeans brought to the Americas, and the plague that would break out in the Central Plains in the future, were more terrible than malaria.
But in this small-scale malaria outbreak, there are many things that are worth seeing from the small, such as curbing the spread of fear, isolating patients, cutting off the source of the disease, and delivering symptomatic drugs and food in a timely manner.
If they retire at such a time, it is even more likely that they will bring malaria back to Nanyang and Guangzhou, and then further expand the disease.
"Save as many flag soldiers as possible, they have been in the army for several years, not to die at the hands of malaria, I need them to live, and their families also need them to live."
Just as Chen Mu got up and walked out of the tent, called Juniper and the others to prepare to re-enter the quarantine camp, he received a war report from the sea, which dissolved the gloom between Chen Mu's brows like a strong medicine.
"Wuqiao won, and Tingda led the crowd to attack the city through the sea of fire and take the fortress! They have taken the estuary of the river, and threatened Baigu on the river, and when our banner army recovers from their illness, they can attack Baigu in both directions! ”
