Chapter 40 Chapter 40
If Jiang Huai wanted a doctor who could practice medicine independently, Wei Xuan really couldn't find many. But it would be much easier to find an apprentice. After all, a doctor would have many apprentices around him, and if that didn't work out, he could still find some from other places.
Ordinary doctors may not be willing to leave their hometowns, even for just a period of time, but as for apprentices, as long as you are willing to pay them some wages and use the name of Anyuan Prefecture, you can naturally make them come happily.
Under Wei Xuan's arrangement, apprentices were found quickly. Among them was a doctor who was passing through Anyuan Prefecture. Because he was short of money and was curious about the so-called battlefield first aid, he also took the initiative to sign up.
However, this curiosity was not a big deal, because after Deng Wan discovered that except for him, all the people who studied with Jiang Huai were ordinary apprentices, Deng Wan felt that this so-called battlefield first aid was probably just some very simple means.
But since he is here, he has to study hard even if it is for money.
The teaching location was chosen in a secluded place in the military camp, so that they could get used to interacting with soldiers in advance and avoid wasting time later.
As soon as he entered the military camp, Jiang Huai found that he not only had to teach the apprentices in front of him, but also the ones who were listening.
"They..." Jiang Huai glanced at the figure standing outside the house and hesitated.
"They heard the class was about to begin, so they wanted to come over to listen and learn," Xiao Jingzhao explained. "Don't worry, General Wei has already said they're not allowed to talk nonsense and disturb you. Don't worry about it."
With so many people looking at me intently, it's hard not to pay attention.
And even if he could control himself and not care, the other apprentices might not be able to do so.
Jiang Huai glanced at the apprentices who followed him. Only the doctor seemed a little relaxed. The other apprentices were all stiff in their hands and feet, as if there was a knife against their backs. They were fidgeting and didn't dare to look back. It was obvious that even if he started teaching now, he would not achieve the best teaching effect.
However, it was difficult to drive away these generals who were surrounding here. After all, they were not disturbing anything and were just standing outside watching. The main reason was that the apprentices could not withstand their momentum.
To solve this problem...
Jiang Huai's eyes rolled slightly, and he simply asked someone to invite all the generals in and entrust them to be teaching props.
"Mr. Jiang, what do you mean by this?" Wang Jin spoke casually with some confusion on his face.
"It's a simulation. Let's assume you have some injuries, and then let these apprentices complete the first aid steps on you." Jiang Huai said with a smile, "After all, some wounds are difficult to treat by yourself, such as those on your hands and back."
After hearing what Jiang Huai said, Wang Jin and the others understood, looked at each other and agreed.
After all, if they don't agree, they can only go out to listen. Although they are all strong and healthy, why should they listen outside in the cold when they can stay in the warm house?
With such a group of strong men squeezing in, the room, which originally seemed very spacious, became cramped, but also a lot warmer.
Jiang Huai asked them to sit down one after another and began to explain. He and Xiao Jingzhao divided the work. Jiang Huai would be in charge of the morning, and Xiao Jingzhao would be in charge of the afternoon, and they would switch back tomorrow.
The reason is very simple. Jiang Huai may not be able to get up in the morning. Now that it is cold, he prefers to stay in bed. Xiao Jingzhao knows his situation, but the situation today is special, so Jiang Huai must come forward at the beginning. Otherwise, Xiao Jingzhao will let Jiang Huai rest first and not get up so early.
A group of generals were sitting behind them, and the apprentices were actually a little nervous, but what Jiang Huai had just said forced them to put aside this nervousness.
What they will learn later will have to be practiced on these generals. If they are too nervous now and fail to learn well, they will offend more people. It would be better for them to study hard now and complete the practice task successfully later.
In addition, Jiang Huai's explanation was really interesting, and before they knew it, the apprentices were all listening attentively.
Wang Jin was just curious and didn't really want to listen. After all, no matter how useful battlefield first aid was, they didn't need to learn it. After all, when it really came their turn to use it, they didn't know what kind of critical moment it would be.
Just listening to Jiang Huai's explanation, Wang Jin also listened in unconsciously, because what Jiang Huai said was not what he had heard some doctors say before. They were all very practical techniques. In fact, these techniques could be used to treat wounds in the past. It's just that in the past, wounds were treated based on experience and had never been organized into theoretical knowledge like this.
In order to strengthen their memory of the theoretical knowledge, Jiang Huai explained it once and asked others if they had any questions. After receiving a negative answer, he started the simulated first aid directly.
Several generals watched with joy as the apprentices bandaged their wounds nervously, feeling it was quite novel.
Several apprentices were so nervous that sweat broke out on their foreheads, but precisely because of their nervousness, they racked their brains to learn, and nothing went wrong.
Xiao Jingzhao listened quietly to Jiang Huai's explanation, his eyes fixed on Jiang Huai's smiling face for a long time.
…
Kyoto has always been very concerned about the movements of Anyuan Prefecture. After detecting the movements of Ding'an Guard, someone immediately spread the news.
When the emperor received the news, it was not much different from Jiang Huai's guess. The emperor did not care about the improvement of the soldiers by this move at all. Instead, he thought that the Wei family was winning people's hearts.
Otherwise, it had always been like that in the past. Why did Wei Xuan make such a change after the Wei family got into trouble, and still take measures that made the soldiers feel very favorable towards him? The emperor had never thought that if he really wanted to win people's hearts, he could also implement these measures.
But the emperor knew very well how much energy and money it would take to do so, so this idea had no room to grow at all.
On the contrary, the court ministers saw the benefits of this move for the soldiers. Although it would cost some money, it could win over some soldiers' hearts.
The emperor's fear of the Wei family was not lost on the court officials, but the loyalty to the Great Zhou and the fact that the Wei family was indeed too powerful to be of any use to the emperor caused some officials to side with the emperor even when they saw problems.
Therefore, as soon as he learned about this, he immediately wrote a letter to advise the emperor, suggesting that this could be promoted among other armies.
In their opinion, the emperor should agree. After all, the emperor wanted to control military power so much that he even targeted the Wei family. Now that there was a cost-effective method, how could he not implement it?
However, to the disappointment of these ministers, there was no response after the memorial was submitted. They didn't know whether the emperor had not seen it or had seen it but was unwilling to implement it. But it was not a good time to ask the emperor, so they could only swallow their worries. Perhaps His Majesty had other considerations.
Their guess was correct, the emperor did have other considerations.
After this news was passed on, Xiao Jingzhao also appeared in the emperor's sight. However, Xiao Jingzhao did not appear in front of the emperor as a soldier who had made meritorious contributions, but as Jiang Huai's lover. To be more specific, he was an ambitious person who wanted to use Jiang Huai to climb up the ladder.
And he is also cruel enough. When he was on the road of exile, no one knew that the Wei family would have a day of redress, and no one thought that Jiang Huai could rely on Wei Xuan, so Wei Xi dared to take a gamble.
As for the claim that she stayed in Anyuan Prefecture because she liked Jiang Huai too much, the emperor didn't believe it at all.
After reading the following information, the emperor became even more certain that his guess about Xiao Jingzhao was correct. Ever since Xiao Jingzhao followed Jiang Huai, he was noticed by Wei Xuan because of his reliance on Jiang Huai, and was then promoted to the military camp by the other party. He even took away the credit that originally belonged to Jiang Huai, which shows his character.
But the emperor just likes this kind of mentality. Only those with desires can be controlled by him. There is no need to worry that this person will be soft-hearted towards the Wei family and Jiang Huai because of some so-called favors.
After the previous incident, the emperor knew very well that it would be difficult to get rid of Wei Xuan by relying solely on external forces. Even though Wei Xuan was the only one left in the Wei family, Wei Xuan was the most difficult to deal with. Thinking of the military exploits Wei Xuan had made, the emperor's face twitched.
God is so kind to the Wei family. They were able to turn the situation around even though it was so good before.
Originally, he wanted the Su family to replace the Wei family's power, but the Su family's problems were forced to be exposed. Even though he eased the situation several times, the Su family still completely declined. It was not easy to replace the Wei family with the Su family.
Not to mention, the successor is a member of the Su family. He has finally gotten rid of the power of the Wei family. Does he have to support the Su family again?
Thinking of the Queen's recent disturbance, the Emperor frowned and decided to completely give up the Su family. He had been reluctant to give up the situation created by the Su family and was a little hesitant, but now it seems that the Su family is indeed not suitable.
If you want to get rid of the Su family, it is best to choose someone from Ding'an Guard to get rid of Wei Xuan. This is the best choice.
The emperor had been considering this candidate and had looked around at all the well-known generals in Ding'an Guard, but none of them were suitable. Either they were die-hard loyalists of the Wei family, and even if he offered enough bait, the other party might not be tempted, or even if they were tempted, he was worried that he would raise a tiger to cause trouble.
After all, the person who replaces the Wei family must be strong enough, but cannot be completely out of his control, otherwise he will be making things difficult for others if he keeps making trouble.
There had been no suitable candidate before, and the appearance of Xiao Jingzhao gave the emperor hope.
An ambitious person with a stain on his body and a humble background is the right person.
Xiao Jingzhao has no power backing him, so if he wants to climb up, he needs someone to back him up, and the emperor is the best backer. What's more, because of Jiang Huai, the other party will also be valued by Wei Xuan. With both hands pushing on him, it is difficult for him not to climb up.
As for whether the other party would betray him after climbing up, the emperor sneered. As long as the other party accepted his benefits, this would be a huge handle. The higher he climbed, the greater the threat of this handle. The emperor was not worried that the other party would dare to betray him.
The emperor's idea was not wrong. Any change in Xiao Jingzhao's identity would cause huge problems. Even if he spoke out in advance, other people would still have doubts about him later, and such doubts would be difficult to change.
But the problem is Xiao Jingzhao's true identity. Wei Xuan cannot doubt him. Even if other people have doubts, once Xiao Jingzhao's identity is announced, no one will believe that Xiao Jingzhao will side with the emperor, and the emperor will end up with nothing.
