New Ming Empire mixed in America

A special train arrived at the Guinea station, because the southern soldiers who got off the train closely protected several figures with Oriental faces and wearing strange white coats.

"Is this the front line?" Looking at the slightly messy station and the Confederate soldiers setting up defenses at the station, Su Ping asked the Texas envoy who accompanied him.

"Yes, this is only 24 miles away from the front line, but don't worry, it's very safe here!"

The special envoy was extremely confident when he said this, because the Southern Army is no longer the army in history that lacked medical treatment, medicine and weapons.

Now the southern troops are wearing military uniforms produced by the clothing factories of the Xinming Empire and using brand-new muzzle-loading guns produced by Foxconn.

Even the soldiers' ration bags were printed with Chinese characters, not to mention the cans made from bison meat.

After the accompanying Gongzhi Mingming finished the translation, Su Ping nodded and continued to look outside the carriage.

But soon his expression became very astonished, which made the envoy who was traveling with him a little strange and asked:

"Mr. Doctor, do you have any questions?"

I have great admiration for this doctor who was specially sent to treat the injuries of Confederate officers, especially Jackson, the regiment commander.

Not only the white coat with strong oriental colors of the other party, but also the very professional medical equipment brought by the other party also made him feel in awe.

It is said that these Oriental doctors can not only cure diseases and save people, but can also use a set of surgical knives to cut a person into a skeleton and keep the person's heartbeat alive.

Thinking of the "Lingchi" punishment that the Orientals used on war criminals published in the newspapers, the special envoy quickly moved to the side.

"Is this the kind of environment your field hospital has?"

This time Su Ping asked again without waiting for the interpreter. From the other party's expression, he could tell what the other party had just said.

No wonder he was surprised. He was originally a doctor during the Puppet Qing Dynasty. After coming to the Xinming Empire, he studied at the Medical College for a year.

)

After that, he worked as a white worker in the affiliated hospital... ahem... and treated the white workers for a year and a half. Now he can be said to be one of the thousands of qualified doctors in the Xinming Empire.

But now after seeing the place called the field hospital on the front line, he simply refreshed his outlook.

"This is our field hospital. Although I don't know what your hospital looks like, I dare to say that our Confederate field hospital is no worse than those in Europe!"

After the translation was finished, the Texas envoy said something proudly.

He thought Su Ping was exclaiming because of the field hospital's professionalism, so he continued to speak in a somewhat showy manner:

"We have the best doctors, and these doctors have undergone two to three months of training before they can perform operations on the soldiers."

Having said this, he pointed to the larger tents standing next to the road and the strange carriages parked next to them and continued:

"We have an advanced casualty rescue system. Have you seen those carriages? We call them medical carriages!"

When the medical carriage was mentioned, the special envoy's expression became serious. Even though these carriages were very ordinary, they could quickly bandage the soldiers on the battlefield and then transport them to the field hospital in the rear.

"Your doctor actually operates in the open air when he performs surgery?"

Looking at the amputation surgery going on next to the road, Su Ping felt that his worldview was collapsing little by little.

The poor soldier on the roadside was only shot through the thigh by a bullet, and judging from the location of the bullet hole, no bones were injured.

But even for an injury that in Su Ping's eyes only required a little sterilization and suturing, these foreign doctors actually wanted to amputate the opponent's limb!

There was also a circle of soldiers with relatively minor injuries surrounding the operating table, cheering the poor soldier who was about to lose his right leg.

Not only that, but there was also a priest praying next to the operating table with a Bible.

"F*ck!" Seeing the priest's next move, even Su Ping, who thought he had seen the world, cursed.

He couldn't believe his eyes. The priest actually dipped some of the liquid in the delicate little basin he carried with a branch and shook it toward the soldier's wound a few times.

What shocked his outlook even more was that the soldiers all cheered after seeing this scene.

Even the well-dressed spectators around him applauded unconsciously.

"Your... medical treatment... this... operation... is really..."

After thinking for a long time, Su Ping couldn't think of any good words to praise the other party.

I really don’t know how to describe this operation that was carried out with the dust raised by the carriage and the participation of a large number of onlookers.

In Su Ping's view, this soldier might as well die on the battlefield, at least he wouldn't have to suffer such a heavy punishment.

He felt that the methods used by the Jinyiwei of the Xinming Empire were simply childish compared to those of foreign doctors.

In fact, he didn't know that this kind of medical treatment was normal practice in this era.

It was not until Pasteur discovered bacteria in 1864 and Lister proposed eliminating surgical infections through disinfection in 1865 that the success rate in treating surgical wounds increased significantly.

But now there is a high probability that these two people will have no chance to appear in future medical history, because everyone whose name can be mentioned in various materials is basically contributing to the Xinming Empire within the barbed wire.

Of course, there are also a large number of people who are unwilling to accept the "invitation" from the Xinming Empire, and have been sent to their god by the kind-hearted members of the Lightning Group.

Although Su Ping couldn't find the adjective, he was very professional and translated:

"Doctor Su just said that he admires your complete medical system and the courage of the soldiers, but he is a little confused about the presence of a priest in your hospital."

After listening to the translation, the Texas envoy nodded and said with emotion: "In our Southern Alliance, no matter who is qualified to receive the blessing of the priest, even if he is just an ordinary soldier!"

The Texas envoy was proud of the humanity in the Confederate army. After all, it was not easy to allow every wounded soldier to receive a priest's blessing before surgery.

Not only does it require a large amount of funds, but it also requires a compassionate heart from the priest. Fortunately, the funds are provided by loans from the Xinming Empire, and the priests of the Southern Alliance are also very responsible.

"Shouldn't the operation be performed in a closed environment? And those onlookers, why are they allowed to watch the butchery operation?"

In the end, Su Ping couldn't help but ask. At the same time, he looked at Okinaki Gongzhi and motioned for him to translate the original words.

“Why do it in a closed environment?”

The special envoy from Texas also knows medicine, otherwise he would not have been sent here with the doctors from the New Ming Empire.

"The light in the tent is not only dim but also conducive to ventilation. As for the gentlemen who are curious and wishing the soldiers well..."

At this point, he paused for a moment and continued: "They paid!"

Su Ping was simply dumbfounded by the special envoy's words.

Are you still holding blessings?

I'm afraid they don't want the soldiers to die early!

Just watch, there are people inside holding cigarettes, and when you see the highlights, there are people cheering loudly and talking to each other.

The spittle made Su Ping shudder even across the carriage.
