A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 76

The sixty-mile march was over, and it was only the end of the day (13:[-]), and the sun was just westward.

However, the Tang army has already started to form a stronghold and set up camp. The messengers are running back and forth, and the flags are fluttering.The Tang army was also very particular about camping. Although they were marching in the safe area of ​​​​Gyeonggi at this time, the chief general Dou Yun did not allow the soldiers to stay in the town.

Instead, he arranged to camp in the wild. Dou Yun sent sentries in advance to choose the camping site according to the marching route and distance. He chose a relatively open, flat and high place near the river and water. Isolated from the people, avoid being spied on the military situation, and do not disturb the people.

The hospital battalion was used as a logistics force, and Uncle Dou Guo treated Huaiyu and the others very favorably. He specially sent a member of the army to pass the order, and they were not required to set up the camp. After arriving at the camp, they would directly carry out first-aid teaching.

Old Lu likes to show off his military knowledge to Huaiyu. Although he has never made it to the battle, he speaks well on paper.

"There are nine camping methods. For long-term camping, five camping methods are selected according to the local terrain: firewood camping method, digging camp method, fortification camping method, wooden fence camping method, and rope camping method; , Cheying four choices, "

Huaiyu listened humbly.

This camp was personally selected by Left Pioneer Liu Lancheng. This educated old hooligan is resourceful and brave. Although he is not directly related to Li Shimin, Li Shimin is now wooing him and appointed him as Zuo Pioneer. Uncle Dou Guo also treats him well. Very polite.

The river is close to the water, but it occupies a slope, which can not only prevent flooding, but also occupy a favorable terrain. Even if there are Turkic cavalry who kill something in the middle of the night, occupying a high ground on the slope will still be of great help.

Marching and camping in Gyeonggi, but every step is very regular. Huaiyu thinks that they are not a dogma, but deliberately taking the opportunity to train soldiers. After all, the Tang army's military system was formed by temporary deployment from various places during the war. They are not familiar with each other, if they don't take the opportunity to train and develop a tacit understanding, it will be very troublesome to actually go to the battlefield.

In other words, it is indeed rare for Tang Jun to come as soon as he is called, and he can fight when he comes.

On the selected camp site, many flags had already been planted. After the troops of each battalion arrived, they all divided their positions and set up camp according to their orders.

As Lu Huairang said, their camp was set up according to the law of the temporary four camps. They directly surrounded the carriages into a large circle and made a camp wall.

Carriages and horses were rejected, forming a camp wall.

A few camp gates were reserved to delineate the positions of each camp, and then the soldiers set up tents, some were responsible for fetching water, some fed the horses, and some dug toilets.

And some soldiers began to prepare dinner, some fetched water, some chopped firewood, some dug the stove...

Huaiyu's hospital camp doesn't need to do that, they have Uncle Dou's permission not to participate in the camping, etc., even their horse mules, there are people from the civilian husband's camp to help them drink water, feed and wash them.

They stayed inside the camp, next to the flag of the main general.

The battalions sent some soldiers to fetch some herbs, which were mainly used to sprinkle some herbs into the toilets after they were dug to prevent plague, etc. In addition to the herbs, some lime would also be sprinkled.

The barracks began to be lively, only some soldiers on duty were still on guard, and the rest were busy in their own way, coming in and out.

Huaiyu and the others had no time to go to the fun, neither to bathe in the river nor to wrestle in the camp, they had to start classes.

The camp medical school has officially started.

It was divided into several big classes, battlefield first aid class, medical nursing class, etc., each with its own focus. There were a total of [-] people in the hospital camp, and they sat in a large area.

The first class was taught by Huaiyu himself, and there was nothing complicated about it. He briefly talked about the necessity and some main precautions of first-aid care on the battlefield and medical care after the war. Quickly classify the injuries on the Internet, how does the stretcher team carry the wounded soldiers to the rear on the battlefield...

The hundreds of people below listened very carefully.

There is plenty of time, the lecture starts at Weizheng (14:19), and I can talk until evening at Xushi ([-]:[-]) for dinner.

Classification of battlefield injuries, various first aid medicines, how to quickly classify, dispose of, and transfer on stretchers...
It's not a very complicated thing, especially trauma is the key point, pulling out arrows, treating knife and gun wounds, stopping bleeding, distinguishing fractures or dislocations...

Halfway through the class, Uncle Dou Guo, Liu Lancheng, Niu Jinda, and the Xue family brothers, the main generals, all came to listen.

They were quite satisfied with Huaiyu's explanation. Huaiyu got a big board to draw and explain on it, and they could understand without knowing the words. Not to mention, they hired someone from Qianjintang to act as a model for various wounded soldiers. .

The gauze must be boiled in boiling water, and the needles used to suture the wound must also be boiled in boiling water. The medical staff and the wounded must be clean and hygienic. Good hygiene conditions can prevent the wounded from getting worse and even prevent many wounded from dying. It should be common sense, but even the ten doctors don't fully understand it at this time.

Red, yellow and green three-color straps, simple and easy to understand.

"Don't pee on the wound. Even if it's a child's urine, it won't do any good. It will only increase the chance of infection in your wound and make you die faster. Don't use mud, saliva or other messy things to fill the wound. Don't even use donkey dung balls or horse dung to paint..."

"Nothing like burnt hair can stop the bleeding."

"In the future, you will take on the heavy responsibility of medical care in various departments of the camp. You must keep in mind the first rule. The wound must be clean and hygienic, and you must use the right medicine. If there is no medicine, you must keep it clean..."

"I will compile a manual for field medical care in the past few days, and then I will teach it in chapters every day. You can also write it down and study hard."

Huaiyu talked for two hours at a stretch, until his saliva was dry.

In fact, he can't train a large group of doctors in a short period of time, but if the focus is to improve the nursing, he thinks it is still feasible. With the current medical methods in the Tang army camp, there is still a lot of room for improvement. It can reduce the infection, death and disability rate of wounded soldiers, which is already a great improvement.

It would be another great success if some medical staff could be raised to the level of barefoot doctors and able to treat common injuries and diseases on the battlefield with symptomatic medicine.

For the rest of the time, Huaiyu taught them the preparation and dosage of the simplest battlefield hemostatic medicine.

With the sound of a bell, Huaiyu announced the end of the first class of the day.

Uncle Dou Guo came up and patted him on the shoulder and praised him, "It's very organized, and even a person like me who doesn't know medicine has benefited a lot from hearing it. It's really a master."

"It's getting dark soon. I've ordered twelve sheep to be plucked for your hospital camp, and I've made soup for you. The stew is ready now. Let's drink the sheep soup."

"Thank you, Uncle Guo, for your kindness to our hospital camp."

"I also hope that you can finish your studies as soon as possible, and when you go to the Longyou battlefield, I can only count on you to save the dead. Twelve sheep are nothing. Saving one more soldier's life is more than twelve sheep gone."

Everyone was very happy to hear that there was mutton soup to drink.

A team is divided into one sheep, which is not only to drink some haggis soup, but also to eat a catty of meat.

At night, a bonfire was lit in the camp, and the whole camp was no longer allowed to leave the camp.

Huaiyu sent some mosquito coils to Uncle Dou Guo, Concubine Lu, and Liu Lancheng and other generals. While lighting mosquito coils in the tent, Huaiyu wrote a field medical manual under the lamp, which would also be a textbook for the camp medical school.

Ma Zhou sat on the sidelines and wrote a diary. This assistant teacher Ma, who abandoned his pen to join the army, is now appointed by Huaiyu as the chief examiner of the camp medical school.

Zhao Xin and Chen Xing, who were in the same tent, were there to calculate the medicine in the camp.

"Erlang, I heard that we brought a batch of prostitutes in our camp. There are more than a dozen of them. They are not bad. They are from Beiqu, Pingkangfang, Chang'an. They are all quite young. It will be a long night. How about giving Erlang and Mr. Ma Call two?" Xin Zhao said with a smile.

Lu Huairang ordered a large amount of mutton in the water basin at night, and the taste is also very good. Although the price is not cheap, everyone is a bit full, especially when they eat a roast leg of lamb at noon. For the benefit of the owner.

Huai Yu glanced at Xin Zhao and then at Chen Xing.

Chen Xing hurriedly said: "It's only natural to go out, socialize, and adjust."

This cheap brother-in-law is really...
Huaiyu also knew that there were female prostitutes in the camp. Like those merchants, these people said that they voluntarily joined the camp, but they were actually arranged by people with connections behind them. In the military, sometimes there is a great need for this. Because of their particularity, their fees are not cheap and they earn a lot, and they really get what they need.

This kind of practice is legal, and under normal circumstances, there is no other channel except this kind, and everything else is illegal and strictly prohibited.

Huai Yu was quite shocked when he found out about it, but after knowing its nature, he was indifferent. It was not a good family of a civilian girl who was snatched halfway, it was just a business.

He waved his hand: "I'm not interested. I advise you not to touch it. There are only a dozen of them in the tens of thousands of troops. They come from Beiqu, Pingkangfang. They are easy to get sick, and that thing is not easy to cure." .”

In the north of Pingkangfang, there are prostitutes gathered, called Sanqu, and the ones in Beiqu are mostly for mass consumption.

One thousand six hundred dollars is their upper limit for one night.

It's not that Huaiyu looks down on cheap ones, but that there are too many people driving Beiqu's cars, and most of them are driven by traffickers, let alone in the military camps, where the sanitation conditions are poor. It's too worthless to get a little flower disease.

"When you mentioned this, you reminded me. Take some time tomorrow and tell the camp to arrange a physical examination for these camp prostitutes. It is best to have a regular examination every ten days or half a month. So as not to spread it everywhere after getting sick."

Xin Zhao, who was still a bit distracted at first, immediately froze when he heard what Huaiyu said.

Huaiyu continued to compile his pamphlets.

In the baggage camp, one of the accompanying caravans also ended their day's business and began to report accounts. Yumian Langjun sat there, but he was a little absent-minded.

"Alang?"

"Ok?"

"The bill is over."

"Oh, I got it." Yumian Langjun waved his hand impatiently, and told them to leave. He sat there alone, looking up at the moon, out of his wits.
