A generation of heavenly pride, Genghis Khan, only knows how to bend the bow to shoot large eagles. Count the popular characters, and look at the present dynasty. --《沁园春·雪》
Hundreds of years ago, Genghis Khan, born in the Mongolian plateau, swept across Eurasia with his invincible iron horse, and the enemy could be frightened just by hearing his name. In the Mongol army, there is a rather severe requirement, that is, when the army goes out on a campaign, it is how many people and horses to take out, and it cannot be increased or decreased, except for special circumstances, otherwise it will not ask for support from the military camp, that is, this kind of fighting spirit will pass on the strong style of the Mongols from generation to generation.
First, born into the nobility, and soldiers are like brothers
Genghis Khan, named Temujin, was born into the nobility of mongolia and fought on the battlefield all his life. Once he led an army to the west, it was a rare massacre in history, and it brought great disasters to the entire Central Asian region. Before each expedition, he would be fully prepared, and he was good at uniting distant friendly forces to launch attacks on enemy troops in close proximity, pretending to retreat to lure the enemy in, and history said that he was "deep and strategic, and used soldiers like gods."
Temujin is not only brave and resourceful, but also very far-sighted, ambitious and ambitious. After he had a certain amount of resources, he launched an attack first, and after the victory of the war, he distributed all the spoils to the soldiers in the team, and he was like a brother to the soldiers, so the big guys were willing to follow him.
The soldiers followed Temujin to the north and south to participate in many wars, and it was inevitable that they would be injured, from scratching and bleeding to death. As we all know, if a person sheds a lot of blood, it will be serious and life-threatening. But for Temujin's time, the medical environment and treatment level were not as advanced as they are now, so how to treat them when they lost too much blood? It is certain to clean up the wound first, then stop the bleeding, and finally rest and recuperate the body.
The Mongol army has always paid attention to the treatment of soldiers, after all, they are all living lives, and if they die, they will also cause losses to the troops. Temujin is not only gifted in fighting, but also has some amazing operations in medicine. Once he encountered a soldier who was seriously wounded, and after being wounded by an arrow, he was bleeding profusely, and then he put the soldier into the belly of a cow and came back to life.
Second, the soldier is injured, Temujin uses "home remedies"
Among the soldiers who followed Genghis Khan on all sides of the crusade, there was one of his favorite generals, named Bu Zhi'er. Bu Zhi'er is one of the top sharp archers in Mongolia, and he is not only skilled in archery, but also very good at making bows and arrows. The first time I met Genghis Khan, he was making a bow and arrow, and Genghis Khan took the bow and arrow and tried it, and it felt very easy to use.
Subsequently, Genghis Khan asked in front of many people who made the bow, and Bu Wei'er replied that it was him. Taking the bow and arrow from Genghis Khan's hand, he turned and shot two birds into the sky, one with two arrows. Since then, Genghis Khan has admired him.
When disaster strikes, it is often without warning. Genghis Khan's conquests for so many years, of course, also encountered failures. Once, when Genghis Khan and another force in the steppe were engaged in a duel, they were attacked by each other and killed many brothers at once. Bu Zhi'er was not spared, and together with his brothers, he was caught in the enemy's plan.
Bu Wei'er's chest was fiercely shot with an arrow, and the blood flow could not be stopped, and he saw that he was about to lose too much blood and endanger his life. After the end of the war, Genghis Khan hurried over to check on Bu Zhi'er' situation, and after thinking for a while, he told the soldiers next to him to let them find an old cow.
The soldiers were full of doubts about Genghis Khan's words, why should they go to find a cow at this critical juncture? Puzzled, he still pulled a cow. Only to see Genghis Khan pull an arrow from Bu Zhi'er's chest, and then cut open the belly of the cow with a knife, and put Bu Zhi'er into the belly of the cow. After a while, something unexpected happened. Originally, Bu Zhi'er's blood could not stop flowing, but now the blood did not flow, and the soldiers shouted and shouted in surprise, and Bu Zhi'er's life was saved.
Third, the "folk remedies" are not biased and have true records
The method of "beef tripe saving people" is not a folk remedy, this treatment method is also recorded in Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica", also known as "abdominal method", which is very effective in treating patients with excessive blood loss. Genghis Khan killed a cow on the spot, because the newly dead cow had elasticity in its stomach and the cow bone could not be squeezed, so it was easier for people to get in and out.
Once a person loses too much blood, the temperature of the body will slowly decrease. The body temperature of the newly slaughtered cow is still there, at this time put the injured Bu Wei'er into it, and the temperature of the cow itself can also provide him with a certain amount of heat, just as the cow's blood coagulation speed is very fast, with the newly opened tripe, it can help him stop the bleeding as soon as possible. Later, this method was well known to people, but some people thought it was superstition, thinking that it was to confuse the soul messengers, so that the cattle and people were together, so that the underground government could not distinguish and take the soul of the cow away.
Cow's blood has the use of replenishing qi and increasing spirit, and the treatment effect of cattle blood after physical injury is very significant. It can also be proved that Bu Zhi'er did not come back from the dead, but that Genghis Khan used his wisdom and medical knowledge to pull him back from the hands of the god of death. It was because Genghis Khan fought for many years that the Mongols also had their own methods of treating the wounded. This can also be regarded as the benefit of war.
What makes people more curious is that Li Shizhen and Genghis Khan were people of two periods, a Ming Dynasty and a Song Dynasty, which means that he knew the method of "beef tripe saving people" in advance than Li Shizhen. In everyone's eyes, Genghis Khan was a brave and good at fighting, such a powerful person even knew the "folk square" that ordinary people did not know, so we can also know that this majestic commander also has a delicate side.
epilogue:
Li Shizhen spent his life writing the Compendium of Materia Medica, which has a high degree of credibility. But the method of "beef tripe saving people" was not completely effective, it was only a method that had to be used in the backward era at that time.
So far, people have not been able to say its true principle, through the "tripe to save people" method, you can also know that although the war is terrible, but there is also a good side.
