Black Corporation: Joseon

Chapter 597

Episode 597: Opening Heaven – It rolls again today. (5)

The treatment center for disabled veterans named ‘Uihaengwon (義行院)’ had many advantages in many ways.

It was the optimal place for the development and improvement of various assistive devices, including prosthetic hands and legs. In addition, the research and development of various therapies for the rehabilitation of disabled veterans has been of great help to those in need of rehabilitation in the general society.

In addition, he was in charge of nursing and treating people who suffered mental trauma on the battlefield and suffered from mania, creating a framework for systematic research into the unfamiliar medical field of psychiatry.

Lastly, a new profession was created by operating a large number of male medical staff to assist with rehabilitation treatment that required strong strength, including tasks that were easy for women to say, such as helping disabled veterans bathe or toilet. In particular, male medics who received training at military clinics and learned practical skills at medical clinics were greatly welcomed in medical fields such as trauma and burn treatment, because this area, like rehabilitation treatment, also required a lot of assistants with strong strength. .

This battle, which began with Zhu Qin’s invasion, had a great impact on the field of medicine.

We have laid the foundation for significant development in the field of trauma medicine. Once a battle broke out, military doctors accumulated experience and improved their skills while treating the flood of wounded soldiers. In addition, I discovered the need for research and improvement measures for parts that were not mentioned or vaguely described in existing medical books.

In addition, great progress has been made in improving surgical tools for surgical operations.

Until this time, surgical tools developed in Rome and passed down through Byzantine had been imported and copied.

However, since the tools were adapted to the environment of almost 1,000 years ago, many tools required improvement.

Therefore, lawmakers in urgent situations on the battlefield sterilized the tools they had lying around by heating them on a fire or putting them in boiling water before using them.

What was interesting was that they sterilized and disinfected even though they had no knowledge of germs. This was the result of the experience of senior lawmakers who had worked in the field while under pressure and pressure from the government, and by lawmakers who had become familiar with the precautions written in Roman medical books brought in from the West.

As a side note, the survival rate of those treated by Joseon surgeons who were familiar with sterilization and disinfection treatment and those who received surgical treatment in the Ming or Europe showed a huge difference, showing a reversal of surgical techniques transferred from the West to the West. This happened.

Of course, this was a story in the distant future, and right now, there was a mountain of data, improvements, and research tasks piled up from the battlefield.

It wasn’t just the surgical field that made great progress.

As spring transitioned into summer, it was inevitable that infectious diseases would spread in the swampy battlefield environment. New treatments and treatments began to be researched to treat this infectious disease. In addition, as the importance of the environment to prevent the spread of global diseases was highlighted again, the government conducted sanitary inspections of drinking water sources and urban villages throughout Joseon.

In the case of Hanseong alone, inspection standards for water supply and sewerage have been strengthened, and water quality management of rivers, including Cheonggyecheon and Jungnangcheon, has become more stringent.

And all of this was recorded in writing and handed over to the Archives. Thanks to this, the red color of the pillars of the Record Center became even deeper.

King Sejong meticulously analyzed the reports that analyzed this war.

“It is enough to deal with disabled soldiers, and there does not seem to be a big problem with the awards to be given to those who have served. But what is the packaging for participating in the war?”

“We are producing and distributing packaging to be attached to the uniforms of soldiers and officers who participated in this battle. “He is a man of merit who participated in a war that risked the fate of his country and a soldier who turned the tables.”

Sejong slightly tilted his head in response to Hyang’s answer.

“Was it really necessary?”

“Required. This is because it means that Abama and the country know that even if you did not necessarily make a contribution in the war, you did your job faithfully. Also, having someone around who has experienced a major war will be of great help to new recruits who have not experienced a war. And those who wear this badge will fight even more bravely in order not to tarnish their honor.”

“Hmm....”

Sejong was lost in thought at the explanation of the scent. But Hyang’s expression was resolute.

‘Why did the Demyansk Shield or Normandy Drop badge appear?’

German soldiers who participated in the defense of Demyansk during World War II were awarded the Demyansk Shield, and badges commemorating this were later issued to U.S. paratroopers who descended from the Normandy landings.

“In order to properly and powerfully use Deokgap-style explosives, explosives, and dynamite, an improved version of explosives, explosives are absolutely necessary. And this piece of silver is something that cannot be imitated just by looking at it.”

“So it’s hard to follow right away?”

Hyang immediately nodded to Sejong’s question.

“yes. In Soja’s opinion, the first thing to follow is to rifle the barrel. That alone greatly improves performance.”

King Sejong and the ministers all nodded at Hyang’s explanation. King Sejong, who looked at the report in response to Hyang’s response, asked Hyang again.

“So you mentioned 10 years at most?”

“yes. If they had any idea, they would do all kinds of experiments to create something similar to Pokyun. If you are lucky you will see results right away, if not it will take more time. But no matter what, it won’t last more than 10 years. “They don’t have to be exactly the same, but they just have to have similar properties.”

“Then are you prepared?”

“I have a plan. First of all, we are preparing to develop firearms to be used in place of freight cars and shotguns and new long guns to be used by soldiers.”

No sooner had Hyang finished answering than Sejong turned to Kim Jeom and Park Jong-woo.

“I hope that the left Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance and Economy will allocate the necessary budget. Ming will never forget this humiliation and will definitely seek revenge. And we cannot ignore Japan either. If you look at the nature of the Japanese people, they have no hesitation in being two-faced and satisfying their own greed. Right now, our Joseon Dynasty is strong, so we are friendly, but if there is even the slightest opportunity, they will show their ferocity. So we have no choice but to keep moving forward.”

“I follow your orders!”

As soon as Kim Jeom and Park Jong-woo answered, Sejong looked back.

“I command the crown prince. Most of the weapons used by our Joseon military are now in your hands. Therefore, before you take my place, finish the development of weapons that will support the future of the Joseon military. No, at least we need to make things that can replace long guns and freight car shotguns. And for the rest, make sure you have at least some direction.”

“I follow your orders!”

Hyang responded to King Sejong’s command in a loud voice.

‘Let’s go! My wallet is wide open! ‘I’ll do something that will go down in history!’

And everyone who heard Hyang’s answer had the same thought at the same time.

‘I’m excited.’

‘I’m excited.’

And the officer who recorded all of this added:

-... So, when the king ordered the development of weapons to prepare for the future war, the Donggung Palace responded with a loud voice.

The officer says:

There is no room for argument that Donggung was very interested in weapons and contributed greatly to the development of new weapons. Since the Prime Minister has promised solid support, it is certain that a weapon that will go down in history will be born.

But that is correct. Weapon development is Donggung’s hobby. The most enjoyable thing in the world is enjoying your hobbies without worrying about money, and I envy you.

Analysis and inspection related to the battle that took place in Liaodong were completed, but there was no time for coordination.

This was because the analysis and inspection of various policies and regulations carried out in Shinji continued.

While all the government officials and even the indigenous officials from Shinji were walking around with tired faces, King Sejong threw a bomb.

‘The biggest legal debate that has occurred since the police chief’ took place.
