Chapter 41 Chapter 41

Xiao Jingzhao didn't know that he was about to be contacted by the emperor. After all, no matter how wildly he imagined, he could not imagine that the emperor would help him in his rebellion.

After these days of teaching, the apprentices have basically mastered the basic first aid techniques, and Jiang Huai has even taught them some very daily first aid measures.

Mixed in with a large number of first aid teaching methods, no one felt how important these first aid methods were. Jiang Huai just taught them, and others learned them accordingly.

In order to save time, in the second half of the period, many apprentices served as students in the morning and as teachers to teach soldiers in the afternoon.

If these apprentices taught something else, ordinary soldiers might be lax about it. However, when faced with skills that might allow them to survive on the battlefield, the soldiers who were taught studied very seriously. If there was anything they didn't understand, they would ask questions eagerly, for fear that they might make mistakes in what they learned and delay saving their lives.

Of course, there are actually some people who don’t care much, but other colleagues are serious about it, so they can’t be too casual and can only work together to be serious.

It was the first time for the apprentices to have a teacher, and they had identified two teachers: the doctor they had originally studied with and Jiang Huai.

Not to mention the doctors who were originally studying, as apprentices, they could only be honest and obedient. They could only learn something occasionally when the master was in a good mood. As for not understanding or not knowing something, they could only ask when the master was in a good mood. As for asking whenever they didn't understand, no master had such a good temper, or maybe there was, but they had never met one.

But Jiang Huai was different. His attitude towards them was unexpectedly calm. Before, because they learned too fast and didn't understand something, they asked timidly. Jiang Huai was not angry, but told them to ask immediately if they didn't understand anything. This attitude made the apprentices a little uncomfortable, but they were secretly surprised.

Jiang Huai's attitude, coupled with the fact that the first person they taught was actually a military general, made it so that when they started teaching ordinary soldiers, their attitudes imitated Jiang Huai's.

Although the students were nervous, the teacher had a good attitude and answered all their questions. If they didn't understand something, he would tell them the answer the next day. Ordinary soldiers had never encountered such a harmonious relationship between teachers and students. They all studied harder, and even some soldiers who were really slow in learning would take the initiative to help other soldiers who were learning faster.

After all, there are so many of them. Even though the teachers will answer every question, if others keep asking, time will be wasted. They only have so much time to study every day. If they waste so much time, they will end up wasting their own time.

Not only that, some soldiers who have learned it even started to teach the people around them. Although the teaching time is not long, it can be regarded as laying a foundation so that it will be easier to learn later.

The remaining soldiers in the barracks who had not yet learned were initially looking forward to this so-called battlefield first aid, but they were also afraid. They were afraid that they were not smart enough and would not be able to learn it well, and they were very nervous.

However, when I was taught by my colleagues, I didn’t have so much psychological burden. Even if I learned a little slowly, because the learning progress was slow, I had plenty of free time to study on my own or ask others for advice, so the progress was surprisingly not much different.

Wei Xuan discovered this situation when he was inspecting the military camp. At first, he didn't think that the soldiers were learning spontaneously, and just thought that the teaching progress had reached this level. However, he didn't expect that the accompanying generals were also surprised to see this scene.

After all, Wei Xuan is very busy, so it's normal that he doesn't know enough about this matter, but they are indeed following the entire plan, so they naturally know that the teaching progress has not reached this level yet.

After understanding the situation clearly, Wei Xuan carefully observed the military camp and discovered another benefit of this matter.

There are a lot of people in the military camp, but the relationship between most of the soldiers is not that close. After all, Ding'an Guard had suffered a great defeat before, and many soldiers were killed. Now the army is a mixture of new recruits and old soldiers, and the relationships are a bit cold. Most people only have a slightly better relationship with some specific people, such as fellow townsmen.

Although there aren't many problems with this kind of distance, a closer relationship would be beneficial on the battlefield.

Now, because of the teaching of battlefield first aid skills, many soldiers have to take the initiative to interact with others. Through this contact, feelings are cultivated. Teachers, students, classmates and comrades-in-arms are also comrades-in-arms. The atmosphere in the military camp is much better than before.

…

Yang Shi was an ordinary soldier of Ding'an Guard. He would go home with his military pay on his monthly leave. His family members were very happy to see him back and asked him to have a good rest at home.

It was just that his family members asked him to rest, and he couldn't bear to watch his family members work while he did nothing, so he started to get busy too.

The family members chatted while working, but there was nothing new at home, so they naturally asked about Yang Shi's life in the army. They were still a little curious about the military camp.

Perhaps because most of the recruited soldiers were from Anyuan Prefecture or nearby, and the Wei family had strict control over the army, the people were not too afraid of the army, but they were not too enthusiastic about it. After all, the army was still very intimidating to ordinary people.

However, if one of their family members is a soldier, then there is nothing to be afraid of. The whole Yang family asked curiously and also talked about the fact that the military camp had recruited medical apprentices some time ago.

This incident made many people worried for a while. Some people speculated that there might be some serious disease in the barracks, so these apprentices were sent to the barracks, but they felt that it was unlikely. If it was really a serious illness, wouldn’t it be a waste of time to find some apprentices to go? Some people even speculated that there might be an illness in the army, but the generals were reluctant to spend more time, so they just found some medical apprentices to fool people.

Jiang Huai was not aware of this matter. After all, he was in the military camp at the time and stayed at home when he came out. No gossip reached his ears.

Later, the government realized that there was something wrong with these rumors and came out to refute them. Some people believed that the Wei family would not do this, but some people were still skeptical.

So as soon as Yang Shi came back, his family couldn't help but talk about this.

Upon hearing this, Yang Shi's face flushed and he was furious. After all, he had enjoyed the benefits of being an apprentice in the military camp. Seeing that someone outside was actually trying to discredit this matter, he was naturally very angry.

Yang Shi raised his eyebrows and looked extremely angry, which made the Yang family feel a little strange.

"Shi Tou, why are you so angry?" asked Yang's mother.

"Brother, don't be angry, don't be angry. This is all nonsense from outside. We all know that General Wei would never do such a wicked thing." Yang Mu, Yang Shi's second brother, knew that the rumors outside were false when he saw his brother like this. If there was something really happening in the army, how could Yang Shi not know about it, not to mention that he was proud whenever he mentioned the army. So he hurried to comfort him.

After hearing Yang Mu's comfort, Yang Shi took a few breaths and suppressed the anger in his heart. He also knew that it was a rare opportunity for him to come back, and the Yang family certainly did not want to make him angry. It was just that this matter must have caused a lot of uproar, so the Yang family would know about it and then tell him out of curiosity.

"Mother, second brother, please don't get involved in these matters in the future. Outsiders don't know how General Wei treats us, but how can we, the people of Anyuan Prefecture, not know? We stir up trouble at the slightest sign of trouble." Yang Shi said seriously.

"Speaking of this matter, it seems that it was some outsiders who started talking about it, and then everyone slowly started talking about it, alas." Yang's mother sighed. Although it was started by outsiders, in the final analysis, the reason why it made such a big fuss was that the locals in Anyuan Prefecture were talking about it.

Yang Shi was afraid that they did not understand the situation and made random guesses, so he explained the situation in the military camp one by one. He was even more proud when talking about some of the first aid techniques taught in the army. After all, this represented the army's care and concern for them.

The Yang family members were stunned after hearing this and discovered a problem. Before Yang Shi entered the military camp, he was actually a little clumsy in speaking and didn't like to talk much, but now he speaks very fluently.

Isn't joining the army good for physical fitness? Why does it also help to train your speech?

In fact, this is normal. Yang Shi is considered to be the second batch of soldiers to learn. Before he started learning, he was not good at speaking. However, learning always requires asking questions, and practicing with comrades also requires speaking. When others ask him questions, he also has to answer. Through this training, he has developed some eloquence.

The most important thing is that what he is talking about now is something that the Yang family does not understand, but he knows. This has further strengthened his self-confidence, which makes him speak so smoothly.

As for the first aid measures that Yang Shi mentioned, the Yang family members didn't really care. After all, in their opinion, this was very far away from them. However, seeing that Yang Shi wanted to teach them, they were willing to learn. It is always good to have many skills. Besides, since their son/eldest brother was so interested, they didn't want to refuse him out of face.

What's more, if they learned it, they would be able to refute it when someone mentioned rumors about the military camp in the future.

The whole family followed suit and started to learn, but due to time constraints, Yang Shi only taught the other things roughly, mainly teaching him two daily first aid techniques that he had just learned in the army.

The original name of the first aid technique is a bit confusing. In the military, they call it "saving a choking person" or "saving a person from falling into the river". It is simple and easy to remember.

They had all tried the first first aid, and although no one had choked yet, they could indeed feel a stream of air rushing out of their throats. As for the second first aid, since the apprentices had mentioned that pressing too hard might break the ribs, and blowing into the mouth was a bit beyond their acceptance, they all understood some theoretical knowledge of the second first aid measure, but basically no one actually tried it out.

What if the ribs are really broken? This is a serious injury, and it is not a matter of life and death. No one would dare to do this just for practice.

The Yang family was practicing when suddenly there was a noise outside the house and shouts were heard. Yang Shi recognized the voice as coming from the aunt next door.

When Yang Shi walked out of the house and looked outside, he saw the aunt next door holding a child, holding the child's legs with both hands, shaking it up and down, as if trying to shake something out. The child's face was red, and he was scratching his throat with both hands, obviously choking on something.

Yang Shi didn't have time to think about it. He took a few quick steps to the next door. The aunt next door recognized Yang Shi with tears in her eyes, but she didn't even bother to greet him. She was shaking and tried to pat the child on the back, but it didn't work after a few pats.
