Li Shimin over at Jiucheng Palace is finally going to take action against Gao Changguo!
Li Yuanjia did not feel uneasy when he saw this letter, because he knew very well that the reason why the news was transmitted back to Chang'an through Huang Yuan's mouth must have been tacitly approved.
All he can feel now is excitement.
War is finally coming!
As a person from the future who has never experienced war, it would be nonsense to say that Li Yuanjia is really eager for war and looks forward to war. After all, he has watched movies such as Saving Soldiers and Assemblage, and has experienced various wars of resistance since he was a child.
He has watched countless movies and TV series about the Civil War, and he still understands the cruelty of war.
but……
To put it bluntly, it is just images and words after all.
Li Yuanjia has never experienced a real war, and naturally has no personal experience. Therefore, it is nonsense to say that he understands the cruelty of war and is afraid of the horror of war. Anyway, no matter when it comes, it will not be his turn.
The prince of the Tang Dynasty went into battle to fight. Even if there was a slight chance that he would go to the battlefield one day, he would mostly serve as a commander or supervisor of the army.
So at least for him now, he is actually eager for war to break out.
The reason is naturally very simple, just for Huang Yuan and Ma Zhong.
Although they were in the limelight when they put down the rebellion a few months ago, the two men actually did something that Li Yuanjia himself could not guarantee, and allowed all the injured sergeants to survive, but whether Cheng Zhijie or Li Shimin, they knew very well
, there is really too much luck involved!
Because even Li Yuanjia himself said so.
In addition, even if they don't take action, there will be no shortage of miracles in this world. Therefore, the real effect of debridement and suturing is not very convincing if the sample size is small.
To put it bluntly, he needs this war!
He wants to use a war...or rather the injuries and thousands of injuries that occurred in this war to open a door for debridement and suturing from the future!
Dozens of injury examples are not convincing enough, but what about hundreds or thousands?
When Huang Yuan and Ma Ren saved hundreds or even thousands of lives, even if Li Shimin didn't care, how could the soldiers charging into the battle below not care? Not to mention that those people had been with them for decades.
A veteran of the battlefield, can he not understand the significance of the emergence of this technology?
Fewer deaths and less pensions are only one aspect. Isn’t it important to leave more warriors behind? You must know that soldiers who have been on the battlefield and soldiers who have not been on the battlefield are two different things!
Therefore, Li Yuanjia has really been looking forward to this war for a long time.
For this reason, he not only instructed Huang Yuan and Ma Ren to train new people at Cheng Zhijie, but he himself has also been idle in the past few months. He also trained surgeons, brewed alcohol, and made sterile bags and various gauze.
of……
When he thought of this, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but take a deep breath, and a proud smile appeared on his face: "This method is much easier than Liszt in the future!"
The British surgeon Lister, the originator of modern surgical asepsis in the 19th century, had a difficult life.
The Englishman studied from Pasteur. After understanding his germ theory, he opened a new era of modern surgical technology... It can be said that the most important of the four foundational technologies of modern surgery is aseptic technology.
At that time, bloodletting was still popular and the brandy therapy had countless supporters.
The ridicule of her colleagues, the siege of the nuns, and the incomprehension of the general public all made it difficult for Lista in the early stages of promotion. Although it was much better than Semmelweis, who was sent to a lunatic asylum and died there in the end,
However, this process was so difficult that future generations cannot bear to recall it.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of pioneers in the medical field. It took decades for aseptic techniques to finally gain recognition when masks, hats and special surgical gowns appeared on doctors!
But there is no doubt that the final word was World War I!
War is the best technological catalyst, even for medicine that is completely opposite to it. The First World War completely established the status of asepsis, and also allowed the bacteriological theory that emerged at the end of the 19th century to completely dominate that era...
…
How many wounded soldiers were treated was not that important in Li Yuanjia's mind.
What he valued most was just the germination of bacteriological theory!
Yes, as long as Huang Yuan and Ma Ren rescue a sufficient number of wounded soldiers in Gaochang Kingdom... No, it should be said that as long as they can make the number of casualties of wounded soldiers this time much less than any previous war, then Li Yuanjia will
They have enough confidence to expand their scale and take advantage of the situation to throw out their own bacteriological theory!
Just like the ancient Chinese medicine masters who created Yin Yang and the Five Elements, and the traditional Western theory of humors, there is nothing wrong with summing up theories from experience!
and……
Compared with them, Li Yuanjia has his own killer weapon!
Glass has been made, and the quality is constantly improving. Li Yuanjia doesn't believe that he can't make a usable microscope after spending several years or more than ten years? As long as he persists, how many years will it take him?
In ten or hundreds of years, maybe we can cultivate a large number of loyal believers in germ theory...
"And... maybe it won't take that long!"
As he thought about it, Li Yuanjia's eyes narrowed slightly: "Be it Pasteur, Koch, or Liszt, although they all became famous and had high status in the later period, they are definitely not the same as me.
Fabi's... tsk tsk, with the blessing of the identity of the Prince of Tang Dynasty, it must be easier to promote than them... It should be right?"
As he thought about it, the smile on Li Yuanjia's lips suddenly disappeared.
Damn it!
He suddenly remembered that the so-called easier idea was probably just wishful thinking on his part! Think about mathematics and Arabic numerals, think about Song fonts, and then think about the movable type printing technology that can change the history of human civilization...
So after his face darkened, Li Yuanjia could only comfort himself: "Ahem, this involves human life after all, and if nothing else happens, the effect will be very significant, it should be different..."
…
Just when Li Yuanjia was worried about this and that, Huang Yuan and Ma Ren were also worried in Jiucheng Palace, which was not too far from Chang'an.
"You said...will we go into battle to kill the enemy?"
After being stunned for a while, Huang Yuan asked the same question for the fourth time today.
"snort!"
Really too lazy to pay attention to this guy, Ma Ren frowned and snorted: "Huang Yuan, can you stop nagging about the same question? How many times have I told you that we are here to save people, not to kill...
If you don’t dare to go, just say no to Duke Lu directly? Didn’t he once say that if we don’t want to, he won’t force us to go?”
"But……"
"Okay, no buts!"
Ma Ren was really annoyed. Before Huang Yuan could finish speaking, he waved his hand and said, "I want to make meritorious deeds, but I don't want to take any risks. How can there be such a good thing in this world? And don't forget,
Your Majesty, you have something to say beforehand. If you don’t go, you won’t be able to share in the rewards in the future..."
