Chapter 209 Borrowing the Prince's Mansion
The free clinic was suspended at noon and the doctors took a break.
Sumptuous meals, fruits, snacks and tea had already been prepared behind the hall.
Several doctors followed Liu Rusi's request, took off their masks and white coats and threw them into a basket, which would all be washed and disinfected at high temperature.
While washing his hands with soap, Li Chunfu began to complain again: "You asked me to invite doctors from all over the country, but they just come here to provide free medical treatment!"
"There are countless cities, towns and villages in Daxia, and there are countless patients seeking medical treatment everywhere. Why come to the wealthy capital where there is no shortage of medicine? If you want to study, just tell me! Let's waste time here together!"
Li Chunfu became angrier and angrier as he spoke. He had used his connections to invite many colleagues to Beijing, but they only came to see patients. Naturally, he felt a little embarrassed...
Liu Rusi helped rinse the water with the kettle while smiling warmly, "Students naturally want to learn, but the main purpose is to promote the development of medicine. Teachers teach apprentices one by one. If there is a slight accident, many unique skills and medical techniques may be lost..."
"But if you teach carelessly, it is easy to produce poor doctors with poor medical skills, which will bring disaster to the world."
"So the students feel that medicine should be organized into a system and an organization should be established, with doctors with medical ethics and real skills to control it, and jointly research and spread medical skills for the benefit of all people, so that truly superb medical skills can be carried forward."
It was these ideas that convinced Li Chunfu to invite his colleagues to the capital. However, Li Chunfu was still a little embarrassed and angrily scolded: "You talk nonsense, but you are still sitting here, teaching your own disciples?"
"Didn't you say that there are some more teachers on the way?" Liu Rusi explained in a gentle voice: "Knowledge gained from books is always shallow, and discussing medical skills cannot be done on paper."
"While waiting for other teachers, I can accumulate some typical cases during the free clinic. When the teachers gather together, we can discuss the cases and have exchanges and exchanges."
The whole story was told to Li Chunfu, who agreed in his heart, but said venomously, "Why would I accept you as my disciple if you do such crazy things?"
Liu Rusi smiled but said nothing. In fact, she had not yet formally become Li Chunfu's disciple. This natural title of disciple was actually a reflection of Master Li's recognition of her, though he just expressed a few words of disdain.
Li Chunfu kept talking non-stop, and Liu Rusi accepted everything with humility, except for the things that needed to be explained.
However, a doctor nearby couldn't stand it and tried to persuade him, "Normally, free clinics are mostly performed by traveling doctors from Yunfang, who are often exposed to the wind and sun, running around the countryside. Now you are sitting in this spacious hall, with no worries about food and lodging, and you are still doing a good deed by providing free clinics. Brother Li, please stop blaming your disciple."
The old man with white hair and beard also laughed and responded: "Brother Li, you are so blessed to have such an ambitious and kind disciple!"
"My disciple has some strengths, otherwise I would not accept him for his troublesome character!"
After several colleagues and friends spoke to comfort him, Li Chunfu lost face and said, "Isn't it true that you have all read the First Aid Guide and Trauma Treatment Essentials written by my apprentice? Do you have any opinions?"
Liu Rusi secretly felt warm in her heart. After receiving the two papers she wrote, Teacher Li sent them to his colleagues along with the invitation letter. This was also an opportunity for the first medical conference to be held...
"Of course I read it. Many of the contents written on it seem to make sense. But these are sudden emergencies. I can't just create some injured people out of thin air to try it out!"
A white-haired old man looked embarrassed, as he was very interested in those novel medical skills, but had no place to put them into practice. So when he heard that the authors of these two works were organizing a medical conference, he came from afar, just to observe and learn.
"Don't worry, teachers. Once all the teachers are gathered, the students will explain the contents of the two papers in detail and find an opportunity to show them to you." Liu Rusi said with a smile.
“How are you going to show it?”
Li Chunfu was also very curious. He set out from Xingzhou City and traveled aimlessly around Daxia, but so far he had only encountered a handful of trauma patients.
After all, those who were seriously injured died on the spot, while those who were lightly injured would get over it on their own. It was not like internal diseases that lingered and could be seen everywhere.
"There has been war in the northern border recently. Have you teachers heard about it?" Liu Rusi asked quietly.
"Of course there were... I heard that the Tatars were so weak and overestimated their own strength that they attacked Daxia's northeastern border with 100,000 wolf soldiers, but they failed to capture a single city. That was a river of blood..."
Li Chunfu sighed and suddenly realized! Where are the most emergency trauma cases? Of course, the battlefield! And there are often countless casualties! I'm afraid that if a war breaks out, there will be no way to save them!
"This... I am used to being at ease..."
A traveling doctor from Yunfang immediately retreated. Working for the imperial court often meant being bound by various powers and interests. He could not stand the constraints and that was why he wandered around the world.
"We are just going to treat the wounded during the war. I promise that after the war is over, all teachers will be free to come and go." Liu Rusi promised solemnly.
Several people still looked hesitant...
“Students are just making suggestions, and teachers can naturally choose to go or not.”
"Foreign tribes such as the Oirat and Tatars covet our land and often harm the people on the border. Teachers should have heard about this. Although the situation of the Tatar attack is good, there will always be people who shed blood and sacrifice their lives to defend their country!"
"Those who fought bravely on the battlefield were young and precious lives. How many people were waiting for their sons, husbands, and fathers to return home? If one more soldier survives, one more family will be reunited..."
Liu Rusi said sincerely: "Doctors are kind-hearted and do not like weapons, but they have the skills to save the dying and heal the wounded, and they can also do their best for their families, their country, and the people!"
...
On the vast grassland, outside the rough city.
Rows of defeated Wala soldiers knelt on the ground. They could not speak a single language, but they raised their empty hands, which was a universal sign of surrender.
The soldiers of Daxia marched forward with high spirits! They confiscated the weapons of the prisoners, stripped off their armor and clothes, and most importantly, took over the horses that the nomadic tribes relied on!
In fact, the Wala prisoners of war were not completely powerless to resist. Their young bodies and powerful fists and feet enabled them to fight to the death, but few of them would do such a stupid thing.
The Daxia army had strict discipline and would not massacre surrendered prisoners of war at will. It was forbidden to rape or kill local women and children. When the war was over, they would have the opportunity to return to their loved ones.
Without any reason to resist desperately, surrender would be very easy.
It was better to endure hunger in a prisoner-of-war camp for a few days than to be killed by the Great Xia Army like those few people who tried to resist heroically, and then beheaded and dragged away one by one...
"Your Highness is so wise! We attack their hearts, their plans, and their bodies! The Oirat heard that the Tatars were burning, killing, and looting in the rear! And they saw that our army captured the city without hurting women and children! They lost their will to fight and their morale is gone!"
Sun Zhizhao said with great joy: "In today's battle, the Wala army surrendered even though they still had fighting power! Our army suffered little damage! We broke through three cities in 20 days. Your Majesty is a master of strategy! I'm afraid that King Kang can't even come close!"
Chu Shiyu looked indifferent, looked at Lu Daqing beside him, and said in a calm voice: "Battle report."
"In this battle, 3,000 Wala were killed, 8,000 captured, and the rest fled to the northeast! Our army sent out 100,000 soldiers, 81 of them died, and more than 200 were seriously injured! But the spoils of war were quite rich! We seized 1,200 war horses, as well as countless swords, armor, cattle, sheep, and valuables. Our army can equip another cavalry to greatly increase its combat power!"
Lu Daqing's voice was excited, and he looked at Prince Duan with respect! He had heard that Prince Duan was a master in the battle of Myanmar, and now he was able to appreciate it. It was indeed well-deserved!
"It's not a retreat, it's a sacrifice of the rook to save the king." Chu Shiyu analyzed coldly.
"We are a farming country. We cannot defend the cities on the grassland for long after we capture them. They will eventually be used by nomadic people. Usually, we ask them to pay compensation and then they will withdraw their troops and return."
Pointing his finger at the detailed map, Chu Shiyu continued to analyze: "But what the Tatars covet is one of the most fertile grasslands of the Oirat, and once the Tatars occupy it, they will not give it up again. The Oirat will naturally be eager to return to defend it."
After looking at the map and thinking for a while, Chu Shiyu suddenly turned around and said, "Sun Zhizhao, go and select a group of eloquent envoys to visit the Oirat Khan. I have a deal to make with them."
Sun Zhizhao and the other soldiers in the military account were confused for a moment, but no one raised any objections!
Several battles have already proved that Prince Duan is good at fighting! He can always achieve great victories at a very small cost! Naturally, they are all convinced by Prince Duan! They believe in him without a doubt!
After the military affairs were arranged, Chu Shiyu turned around and left.
Unlike in the southwest, he no longer had the enthusiasm to charge into battle on the front lines, and the joy of winning was almost non-existent...
It's like playing chess with someone. He is good at chess, but he doesn't like playing chess...
After returning to the big tent, the first thing Chu Shiyu did was to walk to the desk. He hadn't written the letter to Rusi yet!
As soon as he walked to the table, Rui Feng's eyes, which had been indifferent, suddenly lit up! There was a letter! And it was not the outer envelope of a military letter!
He quickly picked it up and saw the sender. His smile suddenly became as bright as fireworks! Rusi finally wrote to him again!
The last time I wrote to him, I was asking him to borrow Prince Duan's mansion. Almost the entire letter was explaining what I wanted to use it for. I wanted to borrow a few guest houses for the doctors to stay, borrow Prince Duan's mansion's chef to cook meals, and borrow the main hall for meetings and free medical consultations...
It was all very official, without any hint of romance at all!
But Chu Shiyu was still happy. After all, he wrote a letter to him. It was also a communication after all. As for borrowing the palace? If she wanted it, the whole palace would be given to her. She could use it however she wanted!
Chu Shiyu was only worried that organizing the medical conference was too tiring, and whether the free clinic would encounter a serious disease that could infect people...
However, he had already promised Rusi that he would no longer interfere with her career, so he could only give orders to the housekeepers and guards of Prince Duan's mansion to help her share the tiring work as much as possible and to protect her within the scope of her permission...
What would Ru Si write in this second letter? Would she share with him the progress of the Healers' Conference?
I'm so excited!
Chu Shiyu anxiously and carefully peeled off the lacquer seal on the envelope, as if he was afraid of tearing the letter!
I started reading the content with great joy, but my smile gradually became extremely strange, as if I was happy, but also embarrassed, as if a terrifying battle was going on in my mind...
