The Eldest Grandson of the Great Tang!

In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Jue, who transmigrated and became the son of the废太子 (cancelled crown prince) Li Chengqian, secretly returned to the longed-for Chang'an from Qianzho...

Chapter 74 Nephew, is my illness incurable?

Seeing the expectant look on Old Li's face, Li Jue was momentarily at a loss for words.

In fact, he had forgotten many things, such as his name, occupation, and age before he traveled through time.

Only when certain things happen will fragmented memories surface in my mind.

Therefore, he was not sure if he could cure his aunt's illness.

Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, my aunt probably has a heart condition.

This type of disease is a headache for countless scientists and medical workers, not only in the Tang Dynasty at present, but also a thousand years from now.

“Uncle Li, I dare not presume, I can only say I’ll give it a try…”

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin grasped at Li Jue's hand tightly, as if he had found the last straw.

"You can definitely be cured!"

"You can even cure people with protruding intestines, so your aunt's illness will be a piece of cake!"

It's no wonder that Li Shimin was so crazy, placing his hopes of curing his daughter on a child, but Si Zi had long been a source of worry for him.

Now, let alone his own grandson, he'd be willing to try anything, even if it were a monk, a Taoist priest, or a madman!

After all, he had done everything he could as an emperor father to cure Sizi over the years.

He tried everything, from witch doctors and fortune tellers to divination. He even converted hundreds of Taoist priests and Buddhist monks, praying for divine protection.

However, to no avail. His son continued to suffer from illness from time to time, and even became increasingly haggard and weak, as if he might abandon him at any moment...

"Tell me about your symptoms first, and then tell me about the treatments you've tried over the years so I can use them as a reference."

"Chest tightness, shortness of breath, often accompanied by wheezing... Chest pain, sometimes so severe that I break out in a sweat, it's a twisting, stabbing pain..."

Li Shimin told him everything he knew truthfully, even recounting how he had consulted Sun Simiao for medical treatment.

Upon hearing the name Sun Simiao, Li Jue looked surprised and said...

"Master Sun is still alive?"

"Of course I'm alive!"

"Great! We can use his name to start a medical reform!"

"Healthcare reform?"

Li Shimin was completely dumbfounded when he heard this.

"Don't worry about Master Sun for now, hurry up and take a look at your aunt's illness."

"Uh-huh!"

"Little Aunt, please come with me!"

Where to?

"Let's go to Zhechong Prefecture. There's a medical clinic there, and the conditions are relatively better."

When Li Jue built the Zhechongfu military camp, he incorporated many of his own ideas, such as a canteen, a medical room, and a bathhouse.

Otherwise, just building a barracks wouldn't cost three thousand strings of cash.

When Li Jue passed by the militia, he shouted "Disperse!" to them. Upon hearing the command, the group of people chuckled and stepped forward to greet him.

"Greetings, esteemed guest!"

"A distinguished guest has come to visit our lord again!"

"Ah... what were you doing just now?"

"Nothing much, the lord just saw we were too idle and dragged us out for a run."

"Then why are you standing in a row without moving?"

"This is a military order! Without the Duke's command, how dare we move..."

Li Shimin was also an expert in leading troops, and upon hearing this, he knew that Li Jue was secretly training his troops. However, this method of training was quite strange. He neither taught the soldiers to practice with sticks nor archery, but simply made them line up and run.

"Li Jue, did you learn your training methods from that old blockhead?"

"no……"

"I was just imagining things!"

"However, Elder Mu has seen it and said that my training method is also good and very suitable for new recruits who have just joined the army, which can help them adapt to the rhythm of military camp more quickly."

"oh?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin immediately showed a surprised expression.

Li Jing was a figure of immense stature; whether placed in the Sui or Tang dynasties, he would be considered a military genius.

For my grandson to gain the approval of the God of War is quite an achievement.

"Since Elder Mu says it's good, then you should train hard and strive to train an elite army for the Tang Dynasty!"

"Uncle Li, you flatter me. I don't have that ability. I'm just leading them in making a mess of things."

The group chatted and laughed as they arrived at the Zhechongfu military camp. Li Shimin was once again shocked upon entering the camp.

He saw rows of barracks in the military camp, a flat training ground, complete with stone weights, targets, dummies, and many other things he couldn't name.

For example, there was an iron bar placed on top of two logs, two more iron bars placed side by side on the log frame, and a net made of knotted ropes, with a two-foot gap underneath, just big enough for a person to climb over...

"Big grandson, what are all these things for?"

"Training troops!"

"This thing can be used for training troops?"

"certainly!"

"These are all for training special forces!"

What is a special forces soldier?

"Special forces soldiers are capable of carrying out various missions, such as reconnaissance, decapitation strikes, espionage, infiltration, and so on..."

Li Shimin suddenly laughed after hearing Li Jue's explanation.

"I thought it was something important, but it's just a scout!"

Scouts were essentially ancient versions of reconnaissance soldiers; they were not only highly mobile but also possessed exceptional individual combat skills.

Li Shimin himself was the best scout. Every time he fought against the enemy, he would go to the front line to investigate the enemy's situation and formulate detailed battle plans.

Therefore, after hearing Li Jue explain the purpose of the special forces, Li Shimin immediately guessed the purpose of these facilities.

"Was that fishing net meant to protect those that crawl at night?"
