The Great Qin Empire---Qin Li

The disturbance that occurred in the Lantai Palace on the Shangsi Festival soon spread throughout Jiangling City. Just as the sons of noble officials such as Qi Xia and Huang Tian were slandering Heifu, calling him vulgar and ignorant of customs, ruining everyone's leisure, a decree was issued from the county governor's office:

"Qin has been following the laws of Shang Yang for more than a hundred years, and the laws and decrees are unified. The people in charge of the family work hard in agriculture and industry, and the scholars learn the laws and decrees to break the ban, and the country is well governed."

"However, the students in Nanjun now do not learn from the present but imitate the ancients, do not recite the laws but learn poetry and prose. Although they do not violate the laws, they are not in line with the behavior of good officials in Qin."

"And Qu Ci Chu Fu, most of them were written by the nobles and officials of Jing who were exiled, and many of them are sad for Jing and slander the Qin government. At this time when Qin and Chu are hostile, if they are allowed to spread, they may confuse the people."

"From today on, all government officials and students in the school are not allowed to recite Qu Yuan's poems in public or private gatherings. Those who violate the order will be dismissed from their official positions!"

This decree caused an uproar in Jiangling City. Qi Xia and others were stunned, but they could only sigh and quietly put away the Chu Ci they collected. After all, family and official positions were more important than this little hobby. At the same time, they secretly complained: "Isn't this what Heifu said that day? The county governor is from the Central Plains after all, and he is well-versed in literature and writing. How can he be as arrogant as that Anlu man?"

Heifu also heard about this, but he just smiled indifferently. He said that day that Qin and Chu were still enemy countries, and openly gathering people to promote the poems of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan would definitely cause problems, so he turned the table and left. Sure enough, after hearing about this, the county governor really tightened the control of public opinion.

However, County Magistrate Ye was also a wise man. He only strengthened the control in the government and the school, and let the officials and disciples understand their identities and responsibilities, but did not interfere too much with the people.

Hei Fu could not take care of this matter, because he was surrounded by busy work again...

...

In mid-March, in Ying County, a courtyard belonging to the military department was filled with thirty or forty men of different ages. The old ones were over forty years old, and the young ones were just coming of age. There were doctors from Jiangling and Ying County, as well as the squad leader of the county soldiers, and several minor officials still wearing black clothes. Tang Jue, who was dumped by his lover on the spot at the Shangsi Festival gathering a few days ago, was also among them.

Although they were of different ages and identities, they had one thing in common, that is, they all had titles and could read and write. Everyone sat in this big house, listening attentively to the lecture given by the doctor Chen Wujiu...

Doctor Chen, who was taught by the Imperial Physician, had a unique teaching method. He asked one of his apprentices to take off his clothes and stand in front of everyone with his hands stretched out. Doctor Chen then held a bamboo stick and pointed at the apprentice.

"The human body is covered with blood vessels up and down, left and right, front and back. There are 28 large blood vessels, with a total length of 16 feet and 2 feet!"

"Among them, the large blood vessels are distributed between the muscles and pores, deep and invisible; the small blood vessels are distributed under the skin and can be seen. The above blood vessels are all connected and connected to each other, and they repeat over and over again."

"When people take in food, the intestines and stomach remove the dregs and absorb the essence, which is then converted into blood in the lungs to provide nutrients for the lungs and limbs of the whole body. Therefore, in the Neijing, blood is also called Yingqi."

"Blood and qi cannot but flow, like the flow of rivers, like the circulation of the sun and the moon, never stopping, and there is no end. The essence of blood flows in the blood vessels, irrigating the five internal organs inside, moistening the pores outside, nourishing the whole body, and repeating over and over again, just like the law of the movement of the sun, the moon, the earth and the sky!"

Except for a few doctors, the rest of the people suddenly realized it, looking at the blood vessels on the back of their hands, thinking. They had not received medical training in the past, so they did not know these mysteries of the human body. At this moment, it seemed as if a new door was opened in front of them.

Hei Fu, who was sitting at the back of the house and listening, also nodded secretly.

"It is indeed a wonderful book left by doctors. The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic even puts forward the theory of blood circulation."

Although this medical book is pseudonymous to Huangdi and Qi Bo, it is not a word of the moment, nor is it written by one person. Perhaps it was written by the leader of the medical school, "Bian Que" of all generations. During the three hundred years of their medical practice, they summarized it based on countless patients. It's a pity that the origin of this school is cut off, otherwise the future prospects are promising.

Professional things should be left to professionals. Although there are some mistakes in the internal classics, Hei Fu wants to be low-key recently, so that he doesn't seem so omniscient, so he doesn't rush to correct the mistakes.

Chen Wujiu only talked about a little bit of the content in "Suwen" and "Lingshu", but the theory alone is enough for this group of people. After all, they are just medical soldiers used for battlefield emergency treatment, not doctors.

After explaining the human body's blood vessels and blood, it is self-evident why excessive blood loss from injury can cause fainting or even death from shock.

At this point, Chen Wujiu took out a knife and cut his little apprentice's arm! In an instant, deep red blood flowed out, but the little apprentice just grinned and did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.

"Trauma will not only hurt the skin and pores, but also damage blood vessels and let blood flow out. If left alone, the blood will continue to flow until the blood coagulates, and then it needs to be bandaged."

After speaking, Chen Wujiu skillfully picked up a newly made linen bandage and quickly wrapped the wound for the little apprentice, and the bleeding stopped.

"And if some large blood vessels are injured, blood will spurt out. If they are not bandaged, they will die soon due to excessive blood loss! As medical rescuers, what you have to do is to help the injured soldiers bandage their wounds in time! Save their lives!"

At this time, the bandaging technique is crucial, which is also the significance of the bandaging techniques of later generations that Hei Fu demonstrated to Chen Wujiu.

Fortunately, in the era of cold weapons, most of them were open injuries caused by sharp weapons, rather than penetrating injuries in the era of hot weapons, so many injured people were shocked and fainted due to bleeding. If they were unlucky enough to injure their heads and lungs, they basically could not be saved.

After a morning of teaching, Chen Wujiu's class was over. He hurriedly packed up his medicine bag and went out with his apprentice. Heifu knew that Chen Wujiu had been keen on finding wild hemp in the suburbs these days, and then let the poor little apprentice taste its flowers and leaves...

Heifu and Chen Wujiu divided the work. Chen Wujiu was responsible for teaching the thirty or forty people medical theory and the techniques of bandaging wounds, while Heifu had to teach them military discipline and precautions on the battlefield.

In the afternoon, when everyone gathered on the county soldiers' parade ground, looking at the people of different heights, weights and ages, Heifu seemed to have returned to the scene when he first participated in the night watchman training. However, the people in front of him at least had titles and could read, and half of them had served in the military, so it was not difficult to get them back in order.

Before the training began, Hei Fu told them a story...

...

"There was a doctor who claimed to be good at treating external injuries. A general was hit by an arrow in the battle and it penetrated deep into his skin. He asked the doctor to treat him. The doctor took a copper scissors, cut off the arrow shaft, knelt down and asked for leave. The general said: 'The arrow in the abdomen must be treated urgently.' The doctor said: 'I am good at treating external injuries. Under the skin, it is an internal injury. I didn't expect you to blame me!'!"

After listening to Hei Fu's story, everyone couldn't help laughing, and then shook their heads, saying that the doctor was really quibbling, and there were such frauds in the world.

However, Hei Fu told everyone that what medical and emergency rescue personnel should do on the battlefield is just like the "external injury doctor" mentioned above, just to stop bleeding. As for how to treat the wound and how to make the wounded recover, that is the job of the ulcer doctor and his subordinates.

This is also the reason why Heifu divided the medical and emergency personnel into two groups, one half assisted the military doctors in treating injuries in the field hospital, and the other half followed the army to the battlefield, so that they had a clear division of labor, improved efficiency, and facilitated management.

But no matter which type, they must undergo standard military training. Because they are not facing ordinary patients, but living, shouting and hysterical soldiers! The areas where they appear are not peaceful cities and villages, but battlefields full of fighting!

Heifu imagined that the medical soldiers would not wear armor, but only carry short swords for self-defense, but they would be equipped with two more things than ordinary infantry, that is, a first aid bag stuffed with more than ten rolls of linen bandages, and a stretcher.

When they set foot on the front line with the army, the medical soldiers, led by the generals and the head of the garrison, stood in a row with the military judge. Before the battle ended, they had to stay still under the flag until the army defeated the enemy and advanced forward, then they could go to the area where they had just faced off, find their own wounded soldiers, bandage them, put them on stretchers and bring them back to the camp.

Considering that the war of this era was different from the skirmish line of later generations, it was a positional war that was extremely particular about formations, and often confronted and fought for an hour or so, so the medical soldiers were repeatedly emphasized by Heifu that saving people was their duty, but the premise was that they were absolutely not allowed to destroy the formation!

"Military law says that those who act recklessly will die! You are no exception."

Only when the medical soldiers' generals and garrison commanders ordered them to go forward to rescue, could they move forward, otherwise they would probably disrupt the formation and become a black sheep.

So everyone had to conduct standard gold, drum, bell and flag identification training first, which took half a month. By the end of March, everyone had reached the standard of ordinary soldiers in lining up and changing formations, advancing with drums, marching with low flags, and retreating with gold. He waved his hand to the left, waved his hand to the right, and sat down while the drums and gongs were all played.

In addition, Chen Wujiu's medical theory class was also completed, and everyone began to conduct technical training on bandaging wounds and stopping bleeding...

At the beginning of April, this group of freshly trained medical soldiers received their first inspection by the county lieutenant Li You. Seeing that they could already identify the drums and gongs, never act rashly before orders were issued, and bandaged people in an orderly manner, Li You was very satisfied.

Hei Fu reported: "County lieutenant, after another month of training, in May, we can let everyone disperse to various counties, and each person can train ten people. Then, during the autumn harvest, Nanjun can get hundreds of medical and emergency rescue personnel! When the day of the expedition comes, spread this news throughout the army, and the soldiers will no longer have to worry about the future, and their morale will be greatly boosted!"

Hei Fu was full of confidence. He wanted to finish this task as soon as possible so that he could get a new appointment: let him also participate in the training of soldiers, and when he attacked Chu again, he hoped that he would at least be a commander of a thousand people!

After hearing Heifu's request, Li You shook his head: "You have other things to do. After the busy farming season in April, not only Ying County and Jiangling, but also all counties will have to recruit soldiers for training. This matter is of great importance. The county magistrate decided to visit the counties in April, inspect various places, supervise their farming, and see how the composting and fermentation techniques in various places are being promoted, and how the water mill is being promoted? By the way, he will also review the military registration and arsenal of each county. This requires the military officer to send someone to accompany him, and the person to be selected..." Li You patted Heifu's shoulder and said helplessly: "The county magistrate seems to think highly of you. He personally named you and asked you to go to the county with him. The time is the day after tomorrow!"
