"Carts rattled, horses rustled, and pedestrians' bows and arrows were on their backs. Yeniang's wife walked to see each other off, but the dust disappeared from the Xianyang bridge. Holding clothes and feet, he stopped the road and cried, and the cry went up to the sky." this is a poem familiar to Du Fu, describing the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
However, the western expedition was another scene. There was no dust on the wide and straight brick road, which was enough to drive four carriages in parallel. Soldiers gathered one by one and couldn't see the edge at a glance.
The relatives on both sides of the road not only have no sad color, but admonish their children one by one to bravely kill the enemy and serve the country and strive for meritorious service.
When Merton saw this, he suddenly felt that this was the new atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone competed to fight for the country. I'm afraid that's why the prosperous Tang Dynasty said.
"Young master, take care!" Fubo led the people of Mo house to send them off.
People had expected that Merton would join the army. In those years, merlie, the father of Merton, won a marquis for the Mohist school by fighting all the last details of the Mohist school. Now, Merton has followed the old path of his father.
"Don't worry, my young master won't fight the enemy himself." Merton said with a look of indifference.
Lao Zhang's head followed him and handed a package to Merton. He said mysteriously: "young master, this is the best armor made of steel in the Mexican family. Even if you encounter three strong bows, you will be safe."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang!"
Merton quickly took it down. With the help of tie an, he changed into new armor. Suddenly, a brave young soldier appeared in front of the crowd. Lao Zhang smiled and looked at his masterpiece with pride.
"Have other Mohist children's armor been ready?" Merton touched his armor and nodded with satisfaction. In addition to the sixteen guards, many government soldiers were recruited around Chang'an City, and 100 children of Mohist village were also recruited. Of course, they did not directly join the army to the front line, but joined as a technical arm under the operation of Merton. If there were bows and crossbows or weapons damaged in the army, Mohist children could show their strengths.
"Don't worry, young master. They are all made of high-quality steel and first-class armor. All the children of Mohism have one." Lao Zhang said proudly.
Merton immediately felt relieved that in this era, the government soldiers have to bring their own weapons in war. The Mojia village does not lack good steel or skills. Naturally, it will not treat its own people badly, even if they don't have to fight in person.
"Young master, the children of Mohism are ready!" tie an, wearing heavy armor, but as light as nothing, walked freely to Merton.
Merton looked at the Mohist children behind Tie'an and nodded with satisfaction. Although the Mohist children are not as disciplined as soldiers, they are well-trained after being trained in the Mohist village.
"After I leave, Mojia village will be handed over to you. From today on, except for the section from Chang'an city to Lanzhou, the rest of Mojia village will shrink. You'd rather miss it than make mistakes." Merton turned to Fubo and said.
"If you encounter difficulties, follow the orders of Han Fu Zi." Merton said. Han Fu Zi is a great sage of legalism. Although he has no real power, there are countless disciples and old officials. With Han Fu Zi, and the aura of Li Shimin, this is the reason why Merton can rest assured of the western expedition.
Fuber nodded solemnly and said, "I'll understand!"
Merton ordered again, and then it was arranged.
"Wine worship Lord, the firearm supervisor is ready." Xue Rengui, dressed in red armor, came forward to report when he saw that Merton was free.
Behind Xue Rengui, fifty hundred cavalry soldiers stood proudly on horses, guarding the goods of ten carriages. Each carriage was tightly wrapped and no one was allowed to approach.
The battle of the firearm supervisor immediately attracted the attention of many officers and men. It can be said that among all the armies, the firearm supervisor had the most luggage. Fifty people even pulled the luggage of ten carriages. If the whole army fought like this, logistics alone would drag people down. Fortunately, such an army is only the first firearm supervisor team.
Merton nodded. About the firearm supervisor, Merton handed it over to Zhang Mu as a guard and kept transporting gunpowder for the western expedition.
Soon after the firearm supervisors assembled, another team gathered next to Merton.
"Young master!" Mo Wu, dressed in a white coat, bowed.
Behind Mo Wu, dozens of doctors in Mo hospital stood loosely. All of them were in white coats and attracted everyone's attention in the army with armour and stomach. This was the medical soldier temporarily served by the doctors in Mo hospital.
So far, the three special arms have officially gathered around Merton. The firearm supervisor in red armour, the Mohist children in black armour, the medical children in white coat, red and black and white, three different colors are in the army. It's difficult not to attract attention, especially the white doctors.
"Doctor!"
"Doctor of Mo hospital!"
No matter generals or soldiers, their eyes brighten when they see a group of white coats. When they march to war, death and injury are inevitable. However, a wise doctor has the ability to bring the dead back to life. After being injured, they may die when they meet a quack doctor. When they meet a famous doctor, they may be able to pick up a life from King Yan. Obviously, the medical skills of doctors in Mo hospital are world-famous, Nature is not a quack.
The doctors of Mohist hospital went to the army this time is Merton's suggestion to Sun Simiao. If doctors want to develop and become famous, they naturally can't do without the support of the imperial court.
This western expedition is the best opportunity to prove the value of doctors. If the wounded soldiers can be cured on a large scale, the doctors will certainly usher in a huge outbreak period.
As a result, Mohist hospital began to train a large number of surgeons as early as the beginning of the year. This time, during the western expedition, more than half of the surgeons in Mohist hospital were taken out, and Mohist five, as a personal disciple of old Chinese, naturally came here and led the team in person.
"With the doctors of Mo hospital, the western expedition will be carefree."
"It's said that even if the injury is serious, as long as it is carried to Mo hospital alive, it can be cured."
Many soldiers were suddenly calm and looked at a group of doctors in white with hot eyes. Their fear was suddenly relieved.
The relatives who came to see them off were determined in their hearts. The name of the Mexican hospital was not well-known. With the miracle doctor of the Mexican hospital, even if the soldiers were injured, it would not matter.
On the west gate, Li Shimin was keenly aware of the changes in the soldiers' hearts and couldn't help nodding slowly. He couldn't help thinking of Merton's memorial asking the doctor to accompany the army.
"The doctor follows the army. On the one hand, he can treat the soldiers as much as possible and let more injuries survive; on the other hand, he can calm the army. As long as it is not a fatal injury, it can save nine times out of ten. The soldiers have no worries and naturally kill the enemy bravely."
Nine times out of ten, it is not empty words to save the wounded. After the long-term experience of the Mexican hospital in treating the wounded, the doctors of the Mexican hospital can be said to be the most skilled doctors in the world. They are qualified and confident to say such a big story.
Li Shimin didn't expect that the effect would be so good. The effect was immediate before the war began.
