Chapter 546: The Bottom Line Of Social Morality, The Compromising Zhu Yuanzhang [Please Subscribe, P
However, after Zhu Yuanzhang heard Yan Changqing's words, his expression immediately changed and he said:
"Are you going to let women go to war?!!"
"no!!!"
"We absolutely disagree!!!"
"Not all of the thirty million good men in the Ming Dynasty are dead yet!!!"
"We are not dead yet!!!"
"Biao'er, Zhen'er, Fan'er, Di'er, Zhen'er, Zhen'er, Que'er, they are not all dead yet!!!"
"Unless all the men in Lao Zhu's family are dead, we will never allow women to go to the battlefield!!!"
Although influenced by Neo-Confucianism for hundreds of years, the social environment is relatively harsh on women in terms of law and morality, and their status is far inferior to that of the Han, Tang and Song Dynasties.
However, whether it was in the Han, Tang, and Song Dynasties in the past when women's status was relatively high, or in the Ming Dynasty when women's status is relatively low today.
There is a social moral bottom line, which is still not recognized by everyone.
That is - not letting women and children go to the battlefield!!!
At least as long as the Yanhuang generals who have not exceeded the bottom line of human morality will abide by this default social moral bottom line.
Even the famous female generals in the past only took the initiative to join the army and go to the battlefield on their own. They did not let many women go to the battlefield with them.
For example, Princess Pingyang, the sister of Emperor Taizong of Tang Li "670" Shimin, is also a very capable female general and has her own "women's army" numbering in the tens of thousands or even nearly one hundred thousand! !!
However, the "Detachment of Women" was not composed of women.
To be precise, more than 99% of the soldiers in the Detachment of Women are men!!!
Only less than 1% of Princess Pingyang's personal guards are likely to be female!!!
The reason why it is called the "Women's Army" is simply because the general who commands this army, Princess Pingyang, is a woman.
Under what circumstances would women and children be allowed to go to the battlefield?!!
There is only one situation, and that is when the country is in great danger of genocide!!!
In this desperate situation, all Yanhuang people, regardless of age or sex, need to fight to the death!!!
Only under such circumstances will Yanhuang break the final social moral bottom line and be forced to let women and children go to the battlefield!!!
Otherwise, before that, Yanhuang would not let women and children actually go to the battlefield, no matter in terms of morality, etiquette, face, or other aspects.
At least this was the case for the Han Dynasty from Qin to Ming Dynasty in the past!!!
Queen Ma on the side, as well as Prince Baobiao, Zhu Ni, Zhu Gang, Zhu Di and other princes also nodded in the same way.
They also had the same views as Zhu Yuanzhang and did not agree with letting women go to the battlefield.
Yan Changqing explained helplessly:
"It is not that women should go to the battlefield to fight. It is just that women should be used as surgical nurses, just like military doctors in the army, to treat the wounded soldiers who have been withdrawn from the battlefield."
Naturally, Yan Changqing also agrees with the social moral bottom line of not allowing women to go to war.
However, he did not want women to go to the battlefield to fight. He just asked women to serve as surgical guards and emergency doctors to accompany the army.
"That's not OK!!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang still refused.
In his opinion, women and children should never be allowed to go to the battlefield for any reason!!!
Even if you stay in the rear area, it is still within the scope of the battlefield!!!
What if the enemy goes around the rear and seizes the rear? What will those female surgical nurses do?!!
So in order to avoid this situation, the best way is to prevent women from going to the battlefield in the first place!!!
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and added:
"We can give you 2,000 male subordinate positions, and you can train them to be those surgical nurses!!!"
As a former emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew the importance of military doctors, or field first aid doctors.
It’s just that traditional Chinese medicine in the past did not have any biological or bacteriological reasons.
Therefore, there was no good medical treatment for those soldiers who suffered from trauma, infection and inflammation on the battlefield, which led to the death of many injured soldiers after the war.
But now that he heard Yan Changqing say that cultivating so-called surgical nurses can solve this problem, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally would not be stingy in this regard.
However, those surgical nurses have to be replaced by men.
At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang himself did not realize that he had unknowingly agreed to grant Yan Changqing five thousand subordinate officials.
Yan Changqing, who was sitting underneath, couldn't help pinching his brows.
He did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang did not object to the number of subordinate staff, but instead objected to the fact that surgical nurses were women.
Oh, it’s not that I don’t want to object to the number of subordinate staff, it’s just that the issue of allowing women to go to the battlefield is overridden.
Although it is not impossible to train male surgical nurses.
But just like the vast majority of women, there is indeed a gap between them and men in terms of innate physique.
Similarly, the vast majority of men are not as meticulous and gentle as women.
As for the profession of surgical nurse, it is obvious that more meticulous and gentle people are needed to fill it.
Not to mention anything else, male surgical nurses need to be trained from scratch just for wound suturing.
One of the important reasons why Yan Changqing chose to train female surgical nurses was because of the excellent embroidery skills of women in this era, which can be said to have an innate foundation for wound suturing.
With a little training, you can quickly change jobs and become an excellent surgical nurse.
But if men want to achieve the same level of embroidery [or wound suturing] as women.
Without two or three years of training, it is basically impossible, and this learning speed is relatively fast.
After all, the embroidery and weaving abilities of women in this era began to be learned at the age of five or six.
It would be an understatement to say that a man is extremely talented if he can reach the level of embroidery and weaving that ordinary women can do in more than ten years in two or three years.
But the most critical question is, why did Yan Changqing choose to train nurses who only know a single medical skill?!!
Isn’t it because the training time for nurses who only know a single medical skill is short, and they can be trained in large quantities!!!
But once the training time is extended to two or three years, how can we train nurses with excellent single medical skills!!!
It would be better to spend an extra five or seven years cultivating a preliminary qualified all-around doctor.
Thinking of this, Yan Changqing looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang and sighed:
"It is also possible to train male surgical nurses."
"But it is the same as the policy of delaying marriage and delaying childbearing. They are both correct policies, but they cannot be implemented at this stage.
“The reason why women are chosen as surgical nurses is mainly because women who are good at embroidery and weaving have innate advantages in wound suturing.
"With a little training, it can take as little as one month or as long as three months, and we can basically train a group of qualified surgical nurses."
"But if you choose a male as a surgical nurse, it will take at least one year to train him, and it will take two or three years to train him.
"I can spend two or three years slowly training male surgical nurses."
"But can we wait another two or three years for His Majesty's expedition to Liaodong?!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang fell into silence. It must be impossible to wait for another two or three years to stand out in Liaodong.
Because in order to get the generals and nobles to agree to the policy of "dividing a small family into an equal share", the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes used their status as princes to conquer Liaodong as a benefit. exchanged.
Therefore, within this year, Ming Dynasty must go to Liaodong to fulfill the benefits promised before.
Otherwise, those military officers and nobles will definitely cause trouble again!!!
The idea of "dividing people into acres" and "counting and verifying the number of acres of land in the world" has already aroused a stir among local officials, gentry and landlords, and powerful clans in various places.
Dark pain.
If military commanders and nobles also get involved, the civil servants who were originally being manipulated might also take the opportunity to add fuel to the flames.
Once things develop like that, even Zhu Yuanzhang will feel a headache.
Therefore, in order to stabilize the military generals group, the military generals group should be used to check and balance the civilian group.
Finally, it is guaranteed that all the civil and military officials in the central court will not hinder the advancement of the plan of "dividing people into acres" and "counting and verifying the number of acres of land in the world".
It can be said that as long as there is no irresistible natural disaster, the Ming Dynasty will definitely go to the East this year!!!
Looking at the silent Zhu Yuanzhang, Yan Changqing continued:
"If you can't wait and insist on training male surgical nurses."
"Then in the future Battle of Liaodong, will your Majesty really not feel uncomfortable if those wounded soldiers who could have been saved originally were killed because no surgical nurses were arranged?!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was still silent. As the emperor who fought in the chaos of the late Yuan Dynasty, he actually took the death of soldiers in war relatively lightly.
After all 1.8 When you go to the battlefield, you must be prepared to die.
Even he back then was no exception.
But if the soldiers who got off the battlefield could obviously be saved, but because of their own stubbornness, they could not be saved in the end.
Zhu Yuanzhang said that it was not uncomfortable, but that was impossible.
After all, no matter what, it is still a living human life!!!
"And I'm not saying that we really need those female surgical nurses to go to the battlefield, they just need to stay in the stable and safe rear area.
"Then when the war was over, the injured soldiers were immediately transferred to the rear for treatment by the female surgical nurses."
"This should be allowed, right?!!"
Yan Changqing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked.
On the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time, and then he replied in a low voice:
"You can only stay in the rear area!!!"
Faced with the lives of those wounded soldiers in the future, Zhu Yuanzhang finally chose to take a step back.
