Ming Dynasty: Traveling through the harem, Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded

Chapter 213 The First Surgery in Daming

Zhu Yuanzhang often joked in front of everyone that it was time for him to retire.

But this is the first time that he has shown such sincerity. As a brother who has followed Zhu Yuanzhang for such a long time, Xu Da can really feel that this elder brother does not want to be the emperor!
Now they are not here, but in the imperial palace. Zhu Yuanzhang himself admits that he does not want to be the emperor, and he can say this matter immediately.

"Brother, do you also think that Biao'er can become the second emperor of Ming Dynasty? He has passed your test?"

Zhu Biao was not only Zhu Yuanzhang's son, but in Xu Da's view, he was also the son who grew up under his care. Many times, Zhu Biao even thought that he had many fathers.

Anyway, the two families were very close, and when Xu Da chatted with Zhu Yuanzhang privately, he also called Zhu Biao "Biao'er".

“I have seen how well Biaoer handles government affairs in the capital alone. He is a young man with a quick mind. You should have also seen his methods. They are no easier than mine.

I believe that under his leadership, the Ming Dynasty will definitely become more powerful.

By then, the territory of the Ming Dynasty will be larger than it is now, and more importantly, the people will be able to live a good life. Although Yang Chen, this bastard, is usually frank and doesn't take me seriously, I know very well that this kid has the world in his heart."

When Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned Yang Chen, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

How could he not see that Yang Chen was not afraid of them, but was worried that he would not be able to bring blessings to the world.

Zhu Yuanzhang also expressed his thoughts on this.

"Now, I just want to see where the Ming Dynasty can go in the future, and I also want to see the day when Xiongying becomes the emperor. By then, even if I am gone, it won't matter.

Tiande, we are all old. The future world belongs to young people. I also want to live in seclusion behind the scenes with my sister. I don’t want to care what happens in the future.

But you, your surgery tomorrow will make many people worried."

It had been a long time since he had a heart-to-heart talk with his elder brother, and Xu Da actually felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

"Don't worry, big brother. Although my body is a little weak, I can still withstand this minor operation. Guan Gong was able to scrape the bones to treat the poison, but this piece of rotten flesh on my back is already dead. I can't bear it. I am unworthy of the title of the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at him, a long-lost smile on his face, and took a glass of wine from the table and put it in his hand:

"Okay! Tiande, take your words "big brother" for example. From today on, I am not the emperor, and you are not the military god of the Ming Dynasty. I am Zhu Yuanzhang, and you are Tiande. We are brothers from Fengyang East Village.

When the time comes, I will hand over the affairs of the court to Biao'er. You don't have to stay in the capital. Follow me to the Maldives. Let me tell you, Yang Chen has a world map with all the good places marked on it. In the future, the Ming Dynasty will take over the whole world.

If we become the empire on which the sun never sets, we old friends from Fengyang will go to the Maldives to retire together!
It's so comfortable to go fishing with you every day!"

Xu Da couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards him.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since his elder brother treated him like this today.

The memories are in his mind. His elder brother was angry because he poured wine for him when he was drunk. But now, there is no Zhu Yuanzhang, no Hongwu Emperor.

The person in front of him was Zhu Yuanzhang, the one who killed the landlord’s calf for their meat!

"Brother! Following you is the right choice for me, Xu Da, in this life! I respect you!"

"Dry!"

The next morning, Xu Da took a bath and changed clothes under the arrangement of his servants, and was taken to the First People's Hospital of Zhenjiang Prefecture by people sent by Yang Chen.

In addition to himself, his family members also came with him. Zhu Chong and Yang Chen walked in the front row. Empress Ma did not come because she could not bear to see the people getting hurt. Instead, she went with Zhu Yuanzhang to take care of Zhu Xiongying.

Following his elder brother, Zhu Di was curious about everything around him.

First of all, you can clearly see that there are many different departments on the plaque at the door. Of course, it is definitely impossible that they are divided into many scientific and technological departments like in later generations.

Under the current conditions, Yang Chen could only roughly divide the departments into internal medicine and surgery, including the surgical department. Relying on the economic strength of Zhenjiang Prefecture, he recruited many barefoot doctors from the entire Ming Dynasty.

Yang Chen arranged everyone's specialties and divided them into different departments for training.

At first, these people were unwilling to listen to Yang Chen and stay in Zhenjiang Prefecture.

Originally, they practiced medicine among the people and saved lives, hoping to become figures like Hua Tuo and Bian Que.

But Yang Chen broke their tradition with just one sentence.

That is to rely on existing means, which are only passed down from master to apprentice, and many of their diseases cannot be cured.

Take a cold and a wound infection for example, Yang Chen can come up with well-reasoned evidence, but they are all different people.

Everyone has different views on colds and wound infections, and even different methods of using medicines.

A doctor has his own way of curing diseases and saving lives, so what is the difference between this and the situation of the six kingdoms when Qin Shi Huang saw a book with dozens of languages?
Therefore, Yang Chen suggested that they unite and jointly establish a set of knowledge belonging to the medical field.

It's called medicine!
This will allow the Ming Dynasty to fill in the gaps in its planned monopoly of medical knowledge.

At first, these people were unwilling to listen to Yang Chen's words. In their opinion, this was a restriction on their thinking.

Unexpectedly, Yang Chen directly made regulations within the Zhenjiang Prefecture, that is, people without a medical qualification certificate are not allowed to treat people without authorization. Otherwise, if something happens, the doctor who treats the patient will be fully responsible.

Once this decree was promulgated, it instantly caused a huge sensation in the medical community.

I thought there would be many people who would oppose it, but unexpectedly, the majority of them were in favor. It turned out that these people were all experts from the folks. They had also witnessed many sufferings in the world and knew that many quack doctors were cheating people in their name.

They said any mud house was a good way to cure diseases and save lives, but in the end people died. Not only did they ruin their reputation, but they also made the people lose their fortunes.

When the people came to their senses, they realized that they had been cheated. They wanted to find the cheater, but found that he had already run away.

At present, a medical school is being formally planned to be established in Zhenjiang Prefecture, and Dai Sigong and others from the Imperial Medical Bureau in the capital will work together with several famous medical experts from the private sector to be stationed in Zhenjiang Prefecture.

This is how you attract life.

After Yang Chen's efforts, the medical level of Zhenjiang Prefecture is definitely the best in Ming Dynasty, and it even attracted many people to come here. Unfortunately, Yang Chen has raised the income standard, and Doctor Ye is not qualified to come here at all.

Soon, everyone arrived outside the operating room.

"Master Yang, this is an iodine suit."

A guy wearing heavily protective clothing handed Yang Chen a piece of clothing. It was made of rubber and was not as clean as those in later generations, but it was good enough to use when dry.

After putting it on, Yang Chen looked at everyone and said:
"Everyone, leave the rest to me. Don't worry, Marshal Xu is one of the pillars of the Ming Dynasty. I will not let anything happen to him."

He then looked at Xu Da and told him the next things to pay attention to.

"Marshal Xu, you will enter a nearly sterile environment in a moment. We will use anesthesia to make you sleep, and when you wake up, everything will be over."

Although Yang Chen has not yet been able to extract the anesthetics of later generations, the skills of the doctors in the Ming Dynasty are not much inferior. The traditional Chinese herbal anesthetics they extract using various Chinese herbal medicines can still make patients fall asleep.

And it has been tried and tested and it will not cause much impact on the human brain. At most, the person will be confused and talk nonsense when waking up from a coma.

This situation will also occur in later generations.

Xu Da was generous and confident in himself, but he was still worried about his daughter and wife, so he turned around and said:
"Madam, Miaoyun, just wait outside for me to come back. Remember not to make any noise. There are still many injured people in this hospital. It would be terrible if they can't get enough rest."

"Okay, Dad, don't worry. I know my limits in terms of etiquette. But you, don't let anything happen after you go in, or else Brother Yang and the others will have to deal with it." After a night of broadening her horizons, Xu Miaoyun had great trust in Yang Chen's ability to perform the surgery.

The first thing he said was a relaxing remark, which made the originally immersed atmosphere more lively.

"You little girl, we have spoiled you." Xu Da smiled and pretended to scold his daughter, then looked at Yang Chen and nodded:
"My friend, I'm ready, let's get started."

"it is good."

Yang Chen nodded in agreement, and with a wave of his hand, several fully-equipped medical staff appeared. Together, they let Xu Da lie down and pushed the stretcher into the operating room.

When Yang Chen was about to go in, Zhu Di trotted over to him again.

"Brother Yang, you must do your best, my father-in-law!"

Glancing at Zhu Di casually, Yang Chen pushed away his hand that was hanging on his shoulder.

"Okay, I know what to do, don't worry."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Chen disappeared into the passage leading to the operating room, leaving only the people outside the door sitting quietly in the corridor.

After officially entering the operating room, Xu Da lay upside down on what looked like a massage bed. Many doctors were already waiting around, ready for surgery.

Some are responsible for operating, some are responsible for disinfection, and some are responsible for suturing.

Because medical school was just starting out, it was impossible for one person to have many skills.

For this reason, Yang Chen could only gather the strengths of all schools and slowly begin to cultivate new forces. According to Yang Chen's own prediction, it would take at least fifteen years for a group of independent talents to emerge in the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone was ready, and Yang Chen began the final review.

"Everyone, this person in front of you is the Great Ming War God. You should be aware of his importance. We will have a clear division of labor later, just like usual. Try to bring out your strengths as much as possible. When this matter is successful, I will give you all the money you deserve.

All of you freshmen have watched carefully. This is an unprecedented medical practice. Remember not to miss any point. The operation is expected to take up to two hours. Is there anything else you want to add?"

In addition to the surgeon in charge, there are also many students in the operating room. These people are all the forces that Yang Chen wants to cultivate.

These will be the main force of modern medicine in the future.

"No more Lord Yang."

"We're ready."

"Very good, in that case, let's..."

Just when Yang Chen was about to make Xu Da unconscious, Xu Da suddenly uttered a sound.

"Wait! I have something to say!"

Everyone was stunned. Yang Chen half-knelt down and looked at Xu Da's nervous and embarrassed face and asked:

"No? Marshal Xu, didn't you say you were ready just now outside the door? Why are you changing your mind now?"

"What do you mean by regret or not? Since we rushed in, you have been mumbling things here that I can't understand. In the end, I was the one who suffered, while you were taking it easy here. We were doing fine before, but after what you said, I feel scared!"

From the time he entered the passage to the time he lay on the operating table, Xu Da could see that there were many people surrounding him.

From time to time, there was the clanging sound of metal surgical instruments colliding.

I had clearly prepared myself mentally, but in the end I was still frightened by Yang Chen's words.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous.

Yang Chen: “.”

"Marshal Xu, don't worry, what happens next will definitely not make you scared.

Someone, give me anesthetic! "

The next moment, just as Xu Da was about to say something, a mask appeared on his mouth. The mask was connected to a big pot. He took off the lid and the boiling steam inside was inhaled into his nasal cavity through the tube.

Just when he was about to ask what this thing was, Xu Da's eyes started to become erratic, and in less than ten seconds, he lost consciousness and passed out.

In his mind, he seemed to have been fighting the enemy for three days and three nights, and finally he was suddenly able to wash, bathe, change clothes, and lie on the comfortable bed. He became conscious and fell asleep instantly.

Seeing Xu Da unconscious, Yang Chen ordered the people around him to start

When the hood was removed, he reached out and felt his breath.

"Make sure there are no problems with his heartbeat and start the surgery."

So a stethoscope was pressed on Xu Da's heart and connected to the ear of another doctor.

There is no other way. There is no professional equipment now, and it is impossible to have electronic instruments, so we can only do manual auscultation.

"Use the knife!"

Give an order.

Everyone in the operating room started to get busy.

First, they disinfected the area around Xu Da, and then they began to cut open the wound.

After being anesthetized, Xu Da was at the mercy of others.

By the time the flesh in the wound was dug out, it had been an hour. It was not possible to suture the wound immediately. It was necessary to ensure that there was nothing missing inside before carrying out the final disinfection.

Sprinkle secret medicine powder to stop the bleeding, and finally suture the wound.

Fortunately, Xu Da's heart rate remained normal during this process and there were no problems.

Outside the operating room, a crowd saw Xu Da being pushed out.

At this moment, Xu Da had gradually regained consciousness, but he was unable to speak.

"Everyone, Marshal Xu's chronic illness has been completely cured. From today on, Marshal Xu needs to rest for a month. I believe that after a month, Marshal Xu will definitely be able to recover his former style!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but cheer.

"Okay! Brother Yang! Thank you for saving my father-in-law! From today on, I owe you another big favor!"

"It's just a small matter. It doesn't matter whether you owe it or not."

Yang Chen looked at Zhu Biao:

"A Biao, is it time to start according to our original plan?"

"Of course, I will tell my father tonight."
