A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 72
In the big tent of the Chinese army, among a group of princes, generals and lieutenants, Huaiyu, who joined the military from the ninth rank, was particularly prominent.

It stands out from the crowd.

Every military general and civil servant who came couldn't help but take a few glances, and many even came to say hello, Huaiyu didn't expect that he was already very famous in Chang'an City, especially among Chang'an military officers.

His elixir is famous in Chang'an, especially the healing medicine.

It is not worth mentioning that those who join the military under the ninth rank are big and small officials, but those who inspect the school and conduct medical work in the Longyou camp are not ordinary. The medical treatment of the 5 troops in the entire army is under his control. From a certain point of view , he is now considered a battalion-level leader, in charge of medical affairs.

It's time to go to the front line, who can guarantee that they won't get hurt?
No one should be more polite to Huaiyu.

The head of the camp, Chai Shao, is on the front line in Longyou, and the deputy head, Guo Xingfang, is also on the way. Here in Chang'an is actually a reinforcement of the Longyou troops. There are five thousand soldiers in the army, and the trilogy of the volunteers are not included in the calculation. Inside.

The Tang army will return to the guards when they are free, and the soldiers will return to each government. They will take turns to go to farm in their free time.This time, [-] troops were conscripted from various military residences in Guanzhong, and the generals were also dispatched from each guard residence to form a battalion.

There are many officers and generals in this 5000-person camp. The four brothers of the Xue family are all managers of the camp, one level lower than Guo Xingfang's deputy manager. Niu Jinda and Liu Lancheng, two forwards, are equal to them, but they are actually managers.

Li Shimin had already made arrangements. This time, he specially arranged for his uncle Qizhou Inspector and Yan'an County Duke Dou Yun to be the battalion commander Shi. The 5000-man reinforcements from Chang'an were also led by him to Longyou.

This Dou Yun is the son of Dou Wei, Prime Minister of Wu Dechu. The Dou family is a family of relatives a hundred years away. Dou Yun's father, Dou Wei, and Dou Gui and Dou Cong's father, Dou Gong, are brothers. The son of the famous Guanlong general.

The Dou family was originally a famous family since the Han Dynasty. Later, when Emperor Lingdi of the Han Dynasty, Dou Tong served as the prefect of Yanmen to escape from the difficulties of Dou Wu and fled to the Huns, and became a tribal leader. The Ling family and the Dou family served the Northern Wei Dynasty for generations, and they all held high positions. The Dou family later became one of the Eight Pillar countries.

In the Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang Dynasties, generations were married to the royal family.

Huaiyu had a good impression of Dou Yun, he was very elegant, about fifty, but he was still handsome, and he spoke nicely, even Huaiyu, who was sitting at the door and joined the army from the ninth rank, was specially summoned to ask for a conversation.

Cousin of the late Empress Li Yuan, cousin of the current crown prince, son of the late prime minister of the Wude Dynasty, grandfather of Shangzhu Kingdom in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Taifu of the Sui Dynasty, and uncle who was once the shepherd of Yongzhou.

Dou Wei, Dou Gui, Dou Cong, Dou Birth, Dou Yun, Dou Jing, Fufeng Dou's family is full of princes in the court, a bunch of generals and governors.

With this handsome guy Dou Cishi as the long history, no matter whether it is the four tigers of the Xue family or Niu Jinda and Liu Lancheng's two pioneers, none of them dare to make mistakes.

Since Dou Yun came into the account, everyone is very respectful and honest.

Dou Yun speaks slowly and always with a smile, asking questions one by one.

The 5000 men and horses were organized into front, rear, left, middle, and right five-compartment camps. Niu Jinda and Liu Lan divided into left and right hatchbacks, and Xue Wanjun, Wan Shu, and Wan Che led the remaining three compartments.

Huaiyu and Princess Wanchun's son-in-law, Lu Huairang, were also in the army. The number of volunteers was [-], and there were hundreds of generals, all marching together with the main army.

"When I bid farewell to His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince specifically told me about Wu Joining the Army. His Highness said that Wu Joining the Army is not only highly skilled in medicine, but also has unique views on first aid in the army." Dou Yun asked Huaiyu, "What is Wu's plan for joining the army?"

Facing Uncle Dou Guo, who was in purple robe and jade belt, Huaiyu didn't dare to be careless, and got up quickly: "The humble job plans to build a field hospital in Longyou to better rescue the medically wounded. But considering the shortage of medical care, so I want to use this period of marching time to set up a camp medical center, which will not only be responsible for the medical affairs of our marching troops, but also recruit some personnel for short-term training in specialized battlefield first aid and medical care."

"You can also make a batch of emergency medicines that are often needed in the military while learning."

Dou Yun stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I have a lot of ideas. I support you to do it. What exactly do you need?"

"People are needed. This time, the imperial court recruited 5 doctors from the imperial medical institutions and the private sector for the Longyou camp, but the [-] people in the Longyou camp were only allocated ten doctors, which is too few, and not all of these doctors are good at gold sores. , broken..."

"Compared to the shortage of doctors, there is also an urgent need for full-time nurses who know some knowledge of nursing first aid. It is very important for wounded soldiers on the battlefield to receive first aid care as soon as possible, which can greatly reduce casualties..."

Dou Yun laughed: "This doctor is precious, and I can't get you more, but if you need servants, there is no problem. There are also many civilians who accompany the army, so you just go and pick someone."

Huaiyu didn't expect him to be so eloquent, and she was very grateful at the moment.

The first military meeting ended soon, and the generals left after their missions. The next morning, Huaiyu's mission was also very heavy, although it was all on his own initiative.

He had to meet the ten doctors he had sent, lead them to set up a camp medical center, and set up a camp medical training class. He had to pick people from the civilian staff to train them in first aid medical knowledge, and even processed some while marching. pharmaceuticals.

Fortunately, he brought a team himself, but his ready-made team was a good helper.

Especially Ma Zhou, who can write and count, Wu Junwei and other martial arts children are also literate, and even Zhao Xin can also read, write and count.

Of the ten doctors, three were from the Imperial Medical Administration, one was from the Shangyao Bureau, and one was from the Yaozang Bureau, and the remaining five were private doctors recruited from the pharmacies in the two cities of Chang'an.

Among the five official doctors, one is an acupuncturist who is good at acupuncture and moxibustion, there is also a masseur, and a curse master, which makes Huaiyu very puzzled.

After they introduced themselves, Huaiyu realized that the Great Tang Imperial Medical Administration was engaged in medical education, and there were five sub-disciplines, physicians, acupuncturists, masseurs, cursing practitioners, and pharmacists.

Traditional doctors are medical practitioners, and acupuncturists are naturally acupuncture practitioners. Massage therapists mainly treat diseases with massage and massage. They are better at treating bone resets, muscle strains and even congestion, etc.
As for the cursing masters, they are also called wizards. They use spells to drive away diseases and cure diseases with so-called forbidden spells. This is also called Zhu Youshu. Huaiyu thinks it is a bit weird, but it was very popular in the Tang Dynasty.

Even the door god stickers he painted for Li Shimin before belonged to that set in the eyes of Li Shimin and others.

Huaiyu, the acupuncture practitioner and masseur, felt that it was more useful on the battlefield, but he directly felt that the cursing master was useless.

Although the five folk doctors are known as general practitioners, they know all kinds of subjects, but after careful questioning, they found that what they are good at is not the treatment of battlefield trauma. Amputations are the main ones.

Seeing these ten doctors, especially because they are generally over 50 years old, he felt that his task on this trip was not light.

Fortunately, although Huaiyu is young, he is quite famous now, so all the ghosts and snake gods admire him, especially the dry old man who is the cursing master of the Imperial Medical Office. It is said that he used to be a Taoist priest. The trick of drawing talismans and reciting mantras is very good, but since I went to observe Huaiyu's works on the door of the Lizheng Hall, I admired them so much that I shouted to worship Huaiyu as my teacher when I met them.

"It's getting late, let's eat first."

After tossing and tossing for a long time, I haven't done anything yet, but it is already the climax of the sky.

Meals in the army are very simple. When each mansion soldier receives an order to set off, he must take nine buckets of wheat rice and two buckets of corn as dry food for the road.

After arriving at the barracks, each person was given two liters of corn every day, and when they were free, they buried pots for cooking.

Before leaving Beijing, the imperial court deliberately brought some meat, vegetables, and pickles to the camp as a reward before the expedition. Huaiyu and his party consisted of 50 people, and now there are still ten doctors reporting to his subordinates.

Huaiyu found two assistants for each doctor who could write and calculate, and each assistant arranged for a civilian husband to be a follower.
Right now they are a total of 100 people. Guo Caizhen, the cursing master who wants to worship Huaiyu as his master, does not know how Zhu Youshu is. Vegetable salt sauce and mustard.

Hubing was sent to the camp by the Ministry of War. It is baked now, maybe it was baked too much, so a lot of the baked ones were either burnt, or some sesame seeds were almost gone. Compared with the big sister Yu'e The craftsmanship is too far behind.

The so-called meat and vegetable rewards, after the meat and vegetables were sent to the military camp, the soldiers mixed pork and mutton and cooked them together. What's more, there was still a lot of hair on the skin that hadn't been shaved, let alone the bones, meat and internal organs. Throw them all together and cook them together, but the bones are not rotten enough, the skin is a bit chewy, there is obviously no water, the blood foam is also boiled in it, and the intestines still have a bit of original flavor...

All kinds of vegetables with stems, leaves and leaves were thrown in and stewed, and the stew was rotten. To be honest, such a pot of mishmash made Huaiyu lose his appetite.

But other people have a good appetite, even Wu Junwei, the grandson of the Xuancheng government, scooped up a big bowl and ate it fiercely, with a mouthful of pancakes, a mouthful of soup, and a piece of meat to eat.Ma Zhou, a former alcoholic maniac, is quitting alcohol recently. He is a little haggard, but he is a little excited. He puffs up his cheeks and chews a piece of bullwhip or tendon. He wants to chew. The foam came.

Huaiyu was gnawing on the pancakes, but he wasn't really hungry, he had a good stomach recently.

In fact, when they came, they brought ten loads of supplies, including a lot of rice, corn, and even dried meat, pickles, and mustard cakes.

In their camp, 100 people are squatting or sitting, eating in a hurry, especially those doctors and servants, most of them are young peasants, and it is rare to see meat, so they don't dislike stewed pork and mutton together, and they don't care about the skin. Hairy, or whether the intestines have been cleaned, whether the meat has water or blood foam, etc., it tastes like a hodgepodge.

"Have you started to miss home before leaving Beijing?" Wu Junwei gnawed on a bone, and when he saw Huaiyu like this, he stretched out his chopsticks to scoop up a piece of meat for him, "Eating outside, especially in the military camp, is not polite. You are welcome, if you slow down a bit, you will be made light, go fast, be fierce, and gobble it up!"

Huaiyu didn't want to refuse his kindness at first, but when he took a closer look, hey, good guy, this piece of meat is not only hairy, it seems a little special, it seems to be a piece of joy, and I don't know which talented guy actually uses it when stewing. Huaiyu almost thought it was a piece of stewed boneless meat.

"You eat, I'm a bit full in the morning, and a pancake is enough." Huaiyu quickly waved his hand, this thing is more lethal than twice-cooked mutton bone soup.

Wu Junwei looked down at him for a few times, seemed to recognize it, and said with a smile: "Hey, there is still a good thing that slipped through the net. It's a real good thing. It's best to burn it before stewing it, but In the military, you don’t pay much attention to it, you don’t get sick if you don’t do anything clean, right?”

Huaiyu had no choice but to nod, and then saw Wu Junwei stuffing the whole thing into his mouth, chewing it so fragrantly.

Wu Junwei chewed with relish, and said: "After eating this good meal, I don't know when I can have another meal after leaving Beijing."
