Li Zhi decided to equip his Huben division with some doctors.
Field doctors are very important to an army. Doctors can treat traumatized soldiers, which directly determines the life or death of the wounded. If an army has good medical staff, soldiers will not be so afraid of being injured, which will directly
Improve the morale and combat effectiveness of soldiers on the battlefield.
The doctors the army needs are mainly surgeons. At present, Li Zhi has not found a good surgeon in Tianjin, and the Huben Division has almost no medical staff. For Li Zhi, who is doing everything possible to improve the combat effectiveness of the Huben Division, this shortcoming is an urgent need to make up for.
of.
Li Zhi had never studied medicine and could not train surgeons on his own. However, Li Zhi knew a lot about modern medicine and believed that he could use this knowledge to upgrade the medical skills of this era and improve the capabilities of doctors in the Ming Dynasty.
Li Zhi made many inquiries and learned that there were many excellent surgeons in the capital. In particular, there was a famous surgeon named Shen Yuji in Willow Alley in the south of the capital. He was good at using the needle-knife method to set bones and eliminate pus, and he had survived countless lives.
Zhi secretly thought that this was the surgeon he needed, so he came to visit him with his banknote.
Li Zhi entered the capital with a guard of honor and a flag, and found the Willow Alley. After asking around for a while, he found Shen Yuji's medical clinic. The medical clinic was not big, just an ordinary courtyard, with a wind-winding window hanging outside.
A signboard with the word "wai" on display.
Li Zhi presented the name card, and after a while, a young man dressed as a doctor came out to greet him. Seeing Li Zhi wearing a second-grade official robe and carrying a flag, the young man was not nervous at all, and just gave him a salute.
He said calmly to Li Zhi: "Master, please come in."
Seeing the young man's calmness, Li Zhi knew that Shen Yuji was indeed a famous doctor and had probably treated many officials. That's why his students and disciples were so calm when they saw their official uniforms and honor guards. Li Zhi nodded.
Stepped into Shenjia Medical Center.
When he got inside, he saw that there were many students and disciples in the courtyard. There were twenty or thirty young people surrounding a wing. Li Zhi looked into the wing and saw several young people holding knives.
Anatomical study on a corpse. A middle-aged man in his forties was also standing next to the corpse, instructing the young man to use a knife.
Li Zhi walked into the lobby of Shen's house and waited for a few minutes. The middle-aged man who performed the autopsy abandoned the body and walked in. He washed his hands with soap in the hot water basin and came up to bow to Li Zhi.
"Surgeon Dr. Shen Yuji has met the general!"
These doctors can save people's lives, so they naturally have a kind of arrogance in them. They are not willing to kneel down when they see Li Zhi. Li Zhi and he sat down separately and exchanged a few polite words, and Li Zhi explained the purpose of his visit.
"Mr. Shen, have you ever thought about leaving the capital and practicing medicine elsewhere to save people?"
Shen Yuji was stunned and asked: "Why do you want to leave the capital?"
Li Zhi said: "If a good doctor like Mr. Shen is needed elsewhere, why should Dr. Shen guard the capital?"
Shen Yuji stroked his beard and said: "The general means that Shen should go to Tianjin with the general?"
Li Zhi nodded and said, "That's right!"
"Forgive Shen for refusing! The densely populated capital is a blessed place for us to practice our medical skills."
Li Zhi said: "I am willing to give you one hundred taels per year as an offering, which is enough for your research on prescriptions."
Shen Yuji shook his head and said: "This is not a question of money. If there are too few patients, my disciples and I will not be able to use our medical skills, and our medical skills will not improve, and we will definitely fall into the bottom class. Give me more money.
, I don’t want to go either!”
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and secretly thought that this doctor really regarded money as dirt. After thinking about it, Li Zhi said: "Sir, if you are willing to follow me to Tianjin, I will find an official for you in a few years and become a thousand-household official."
,how?"
Shen Yuji smiled, shook his head and said, "Thank you, General, for your kindness. I apologize for Shen's refusal."
After talking for a while, Shen Yuji refused to leave the capital. Li Zhi had no choice but to stand up and leave.
But when Li Zhi walked to the door of the medical center in disappointment, he saw a group of citizens rushing towards him with sticks and hammers. The citizens were running and shouting:
"Shen Yuji, who ruined human relations, hand over the body!"
“Searching into the human body is harmful to nature!”
Seeing these mobs, the neighbors on both sides quickly closed their shop doors for fear of getting angry. The boy at the door of Shen Yuji Medical Center also quickly retreated into the yard and closed the yard door with a bang.
The mob surrounded the Shen family's yard, shouting loudly. After a while, the Shen family refused to open the door, and the mob began to kick the yard door in an attempt to open it.
Li Zhi became curious, so he walked up and stood aside to watch. After watching for a while, Li Zhi stepped forward and asked, "Why did you kick down the door of Shen's house?"
The mob saw that Li Zhi was wearing a second-grade official robe, looked at each other, and knelt down one after another and said: "Your Majesty, the Shen family has done something outrageous, and that's why we have to come to recover the body!"
"Why is it so outrageous?"
"A poor member of our clan died of a stroke. Shen Yuji used money to seduce the deceased's greedy father and buy the deceased's body for an autopsy. The deceased was a good man from a good family, but he could not be buried after his death. He had to endure this
Isn’t the crime of cutting one’s body into pieces with a thousand swords an offense against heaven and justice?”
Hearing this, Li Zhi understood that the corpse he saw in the yard of the Yu family just now was secretly bought by the Yu family. Now the dead man's clan members were unwilling to let the corpse be dissected by the disciples of the Yu family, so they came to visit him.
.
Li Zhi was thinking there when he saw the courtyard door of Yu's house opened, and the young man who welcomed him in came out, raised his hands and said to the mob: "My fellow neighbors, this body was not stolen or robbed, it belongs to us."
Bought with money, why do you come here to seek revenge?"
The deceased tribesmen said loudly: "We collected the money and paid it back to you. You hand over the body, and don't do such evil things in the future!"
When the young man heard this, his expression changed and he hesitated: "This"
Li Zhi smiled and said to the young man: "Are you in short supply of corpses for dissection?"
The young man's face turned red, and he raised his hands and said: "To be honest with you, we surgeons don't understand the structure of the human body. But it is really difficult to buy cadavers for anatomy. This is the only one we have bought in the past six months!"
The teacher regards it as a treasure”
"Are corpses useful?"
"Of course it's useful. We surgeons rely entirely on dissecting the human body to understand pathological structures. It's not an exaggeration to say that we basically rely on this to improve our medical skills."
Li Zhi smiled, raised his hands and said to the deceased tribesmen: "Don't be anxious, everyone. I will go in and negotiate with Dr. Shen to ensure that he returns the body to you!"
The deceased people replied in unison: "It's all up to you!"
When the young man heard Li Zhi's words, his expression changed and he said, "Why do you need to interfere with this? Are you meddling in this business?"
Li Zhi said: "Let's go see your master. I have something good to tell him."
Walking to the main hall of the Shen family, when he saw Shen Yuji, Li Zhi said straight to the point: "Mr. Shen, why are you searching so hard for a corpse for autopsy in the capital? I lead troops to fight, and I capture and kill thousands of enemy invaders every year.
, I don’t know how many corpses are there for you to dissect and study, please follow me to Tianjin!”
