Chapter 17 There are new tasks to do!
[Ahhh! The Immortal Poet Taibai wrote a poem for His Majesty Taizong! What a poetic sentiment that will last through the ages!]
I'm so excited! The hamster screamed and crawled in a twisted and dark manner.
That's right! Li Bai, why did you write a poem for Prince Yong? Wouldn't it be better to write a poem for our Majesty Erfeng?
At least I won't become a traitor or a traitor by operating a sewing machine!
[Wow, it's only been a short while and he's already written eleven poems? Li Bai is indeed!]
What did you write? Show us! 】
Li Shimin had long heard Tianmu talk about the number one poet in the Tang Dynasty, but he never expected that Li Bai, under the influence of alcohol, would write eleven poems in one go.
I would like to borrow the emperor's jade horse whip to command the barbarians to sit at the banquet. The south wind sweeps away the barbarian dust, and the west wind enters Chang'an to the edge of the sun (1)
"Good poem! What a good poem!"
Such a great victory was a rare opportunity, and given the atmosphere, Yan Zhenqing immediately took Li Bai's poem, asked his servant to grind ink on the spot, and rolled up his sleeves to copy it himself.
“I will have someone compose music for it later.
In the past, there was His Majesty Taizong's "Qin Wang Po Zhen Yue," and now there is our Tang Dynasty's "Yan Wang Po Zhen Song," which is truly wonderful!
As soon as Li Bai wrote the poem, the whole audience was immediately ignited. Wang Chengye and others also began to recite poems while drinking and flatter Li Shimin on the spot.
Seeing that some people were copying and some were writing poems, only the military general Li Guangbi scratched his head, feeling very embarrassed.
At this point, he began to regret why he didn't read a few more books when he was young?!
Li Guangbi, who was out of tune with the crowd, kept asking the servants to pour wine and pretend to be busy, while Li Shimin read Li Bai's poems, admired the running script of Yan Zhenqing, the best calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, and drank two more glasses of wine.
"What's wrong with you? Erfeng, you're a poet, a calligrapher, and a partygoer after all!"
[The atmosphere is so good, why doesn't Erfeng write poetry or calligraphy anymore? Is it because she doesn't like it?]
[Hahaha, you guys are not allowed to bully Erfeng! Comparing a non-professional athlete to a top professional athlete, the tracks are different, hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter!]
[That’s right. The world was in chaos during the early Tang Dynasty. The culture was incomparable to that of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.
Besides, our Master Erfeng is a master of calligraphy and poetry, but how many people in history have left behind famous lines? We can't expect too much.
[Do you mean "Strong grass is revealed in strong winds, loyal ministers are revealed in times of turmoil"?
That's certainly good. But Erfeng Dada, during the early Tang Dynasty, parallel verse was popular, emphasizing ornate style, which has long been outdated. It can't compare to the later poetic formats.
[I took a look at Erfeng's works, and hahaha, I laughed to death. Isn't this the kind of whining youth literature that I liked in elementary school?
It's just piling up words to describe the scenery, and then forcing yourself to sigh at the end about how open-minded or sad you feel!
Why did his later poems become famous? Because he expressed his true feelings and life experiences.
Erfeng, you have such a rich experience, why do you have to write youthful and gorgeous literature? Why are you pretending to be so artistic and fresh?
Seeing this, Li Shimin drank another glass of wine.
What's wrong with parallel poetry? He thinks the ornate style is fine.
Forget it, he couldn't win in poetry or calligraphy today, so Li Shimin simply rolled up his sleeves and started playing the pipa.
The rhythm of poetry nowadays is more regular, which makes it easier to compose music. So Li Shimin performed a Tang Dynasty version of pipa singing on the spot.
Li Bai was drunk and performed a sword dance to the accompaniment of Li Shimin's pipa music.
[Holy crap! Li Shimin plays and sings, Li Bai dances with a sword, and Yan Zhenqing copies lyrics! What a grand cultural feast of the Tang Dynasty!]
Did you see that? Next Spring Festival Gala, please follow this standard, or I won’t watch it! @Spring Festival Gala Director]
[I can’t take it anymore. I’m too excited. I’m not going to sleep tonight. I want to drink and have a party with Er Feng!
Come on, have fun! Let's drink the most and stay up the latest! 】
"That's enough, King Yan, you've already had more than a dozen glasses of wine. You can't drink any more!"
The disappointing voice nearby came from Shen Yue, who had been recruited to be a military surgeon.
The few modern workers hired by Li Shimin later were paid on the spot, but Shen Yue was a long-term worker.
Her salary is settled monthly, just like in Hyundai, and she is still waiting for her boss's year-end bonus after his promotion.
So Shen Yue did not return to the modern era, but instead followed Li Shimin all the way to Taiyuan.
The girl next to him spoke in a calm tone and not loudly, but Li Shimin's hand holding the wine glass trembled instantly, and he looked at Shen Yue a little aggrievedly:
"Everyone's having a great time drinking, so a couple more drinks won't hurt."
However, Shen Yue still had no expression on her face, and even snorted coldly with a forced smile:
"So you want to die early again like last time, right?
When you get old and can’t get enough medicine or food, and you start to have pains all day long, and you can’t even walk properly, and your hands shake when you hold a pen, then you’ll start to regret those two extra glasses of wine when you were young.”
Li Shimin: ...terrible
After hearing this, not only Li Shimin, but also Li Bai and others who were drinking greedily nearby stopped talking.
Li Bai, who was already old and loved drinking, was heartbroken, while Li Guangbi and others glared at Shen Yue with dissatisfaction.
This woman is such a killjoy!
Even if she was the Prince of Yan's favorite concubine, she couldn't speak to him like that, right? Do you know what disrespect is?
Men in the Tang Dynasty never had the concept of superiors and subordinates when it came to relationships between men and women, and many people misunderstood Shen Yue's identity.
However, Wang Chengye, who was always good at maneuvering in the officialdom, figured out something was wrong and asked:
"Your Highness, Prince Yan, who is this...?"
"Let me introduce you. This is the female doctor in my house. Her medical skills are amazing, so I asked her to join the army as a military doctor to treat the wounded."
"How can this be possible? How can there be a female medical officer in the military camp?"
Li Guangbi subconsciously objected, and the others also frowned, showing expressions of disapproval.
During this period, there were certainly some female doctors in society, and there were also female doctors in the palace who specialized in serving concubines and princesses, but they were palace servants, and the position of medical officer had never been held by women.
What's more, it is an army composed entirely of men.
The knife wounds that injure arms and legs sometimes fall close to private parts. Do these soldiers really want to take off all their clothes in front of a young girl to see?
“… This is truly immoral.”
Most people can't accept it.
Wang Chengye stroked his beard with a complicated look.
After all, he had been in officialdom for a long time and had seen everything, so he immediately thought it was over and wondered if the Prince of Yan was playing some new military game with his concubine.
Shen Yue simply ignored the discrimination that these ancient men had. She asked the assistant next to her:
"Is everything ready? Can we start sewing?"
Seeing the apprentice from the Imperial Medical Bureau following her nodded, Shen Yue stood up calmly and left calmly to perform the operation under everyone's gaze.
With a high salary from His Majesty Erfeng, Shen Yue did a lot of things when she was in Chang'an. At least penicillin and distilled liquor disinfectant were successfully produced, and a lot of surgical tools were also made.
"Sew...what?"
Li Guangbi asked subconsciously.
"Sew up the broken limbs!"
Shen Yuefeng walked away calmly, leaving behind a shocking and explosive statement.
Li Guangbi's eyes were as big as copper bells, and he was so shocked that he didn't blink for a long time. Li Shimin smiled, touched his chin, and explained to everyone.
"So, Your Highness, you're saying that a broken limb can be successfully reattached within a certain period of time and restored to its original state?"
This sounds really shocking!
Except for Li Shimin, who had seen Shen Yue perform surgery, everyone else present was unable to remain calm and was skeptical.
Li Shimin had never seen this kind of operation before.
Because according to Shen Yue, this type of suture is more complicated than the previous appendectomy surgery, and it is necessary to conduct some experiments based on local conditions in ancient times to determine whether it is feasible.
For example, non-invasive needles and threads are needed to suture blood vessels, so she was previously researching ways to use intestinal casings to make catgut, as well as steel nails and the like.
Li Shimin didn't quite understand what he heard, but this should be Shen Yue's first time to perform this kind of severed limb reattachment surgery in the Tang Dynasty, and he was quite curious whether it could really succeed.
Li Shimin told everyone in vivid detail the incident of Shen Yue's caesarean section and appendectomy. After hearing it, even Li Guangbi, who had killed countless people, was numb.
Oh my god, that sounds so scary, doesn't it?
Although he didn't want this girl to be a military doctor, Li Guangbi was so interested in the art of regenerating severed limbs that he didn't say anything else.
Instead, after the welcoming banquet ended, he immediately went to observe Shen Yue's surgical procedure.
This time, Li Shimin just smiled and watched him go, without going with him.
After all, he hadn't eaten the whole morning after witnessing the bloody and bloody scene of a man's stomach being cut open and his intestines being sewn up during surgery.
[Hahaha, this is normal!]
When I first started studying medicine, I couldn’t eat when I was studying cadavers or dissecting live rabbits, but I got used to it after a while.
You can even eat roasted pig brain while cutting up the rat cerebellum...]
[Speaking of which, this young lady should also be a big shot, right?
Follow the army, there will be no battlefield mosaics! Psychological quality 666]
[I feel like this girl will be able to make it into the history books of the Tang Dynasty in the future?]
[Ahhh, sister, you are my god, keep going! ]
The next day, Li Shimin got up early in the morning to discuss matters with Li Guangbi and other generals. As a result, he saw that Li Guangbi and others all looked sleepy, had dark circles under their eyes, and walked unsteadily.
Li Shimin understood immediately, but pretended not to understand and asked mischievously:
"What's wrong with General Li? Is he so weak in alcohol tolerance?"
Li Guangbi waved his hand, unable to express himself clearly.
"Oh, Your Highness, please don't mention it. The lady you invited here is truly, even more ruthless than a ruthless person!"
He watched the whole process from outside the window last night, from the moment the woman ground off a small section of bone from the patient's severed limb, then inserted a steel nail, and began to sew up some blood vessels in the flesh with catgut...
He looked unwell the whole time.
How could this be a girl? She's clearly a devil!
The key point is that she performed five of these surgeries in one night without even taking a break or sitting down, without blinking an eye.
It’s so scary, this girl is so scary!
Now Li Guangbi was really convinced and completely believed that Shen Yue and Li Shimin were not in that kind of relationship.
Moreover, given this girl's psychological quality, regardless of whether the operation can be successful, there will definitely be no problem for her to stay and work as a military doctor.
Anyway, he was convinced.
At this time, Shen Yue, who had just finished the operation, also came over. Li Guangbi widened his eyes and asked in admiration:
"Aren't you tired, my lady? Don't you want to rest for a while?"
Shen Yue shook her head, still looking refreshed, and immediately received a lot of admiring looks from everyone.
[Hahaha, don't underestimate our Chinese doctors! Our Chinese doctors are very strong both physically and mentally!]
[Yes, do you think that a famous tertiary hospital in a big city that sees over a hundred patients in one morning is just a rumor?]
[Letting modern doctors go back to the ancient times? Your Imperial Medical Bureau will be wiped out in a matter of minutes!]
Li Shimin asked about Shen Yue's medical treatment and learned that this type of limb regeneration surgery requires a period of recovery and cannot be completed immediately after reconnection.
Li Shimin felt a little regretful that he could not see the result immediately, and he felt extremely curious like a cat scratching.
But he could only sigh and continue to discuss the next strategic plan with everyone.
"Now that Taiyuan is undermanned, I have adopted His Majesty Taizong's tactics of fortifying the city walls and clearing the countryside."
Li Shimin nodded in agreement:
"I am leading the new troops gathered along the way. They are poorly trained and cannot fight immediately. General Li needs more training.
As for the heavy cavalry, they can harass the enemy on a normal day, and are especially effective when the enemy is firing or tired, but remember, they must not fight too long."
[Oh my goodness, after listening for a long time I finally understood. Isn't this guerrilla warfare?
When the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy tires, I harass; when the enemy retreats, I advance!
[No wonder it sounds so familiar, it's the same style as our librarian!]
[Originally, strategies and tactics are all inherited from the same source. And didn't the librarian say that throughout history, no one has surpassed Li Shimin in military prowess?]
[Perhaps top military strategists all have something in common.]
Li Shimin was particularly familiar with the terrain outside Taiyuan City and quickly discussed with his generals how to ambush the enemy.
The generals had never expected that the young King of Yan had such strategy in leading troops in battle, and their expressions gradually changed from shock to admiration.
After the meeting was over, Li Guangbi continued:
"It's summer and autumn now, and it's harvest time for wheat. It's a pity to waste all the food outside the city. If we encounter the enemy again, we can only burn it."
【??? What? Did I hear correctly? Why do you want to burn it?!】
[The farmers in ancient times must have worked harder than those today. Furthermore, wheat in the north was only harvested once a year!]
[There was nothing that could be done about it. When Li Shimin was fighting in Taiyuan, he also fortified the city walls and cleared the fields, defending the city walls and not leaving. He then ordered the wheat outside the city walls to be burned, leaving nothing for Liu Wuzhou.]
“This is mainly because we cannot leave any rations for the enemy.
Both sides of the war thought the same thing: if we came to harvest the wheat outside the city, they would surely burn it, and it would inevitably be ruined.”
Speaking of this, Li Shimin certainly felt regretful, but this is how war is, there is no room for mercy.
"That's because you're harvesting too slowly! How about letting us harvest for you, Erfeng?"
[Yes, we went there in the middle of the night to secretly harvest! Our modern agricultural machinery is very fast!]
Comrades, start the harvesters! Give Erfeng a little shock of modern farming!
[Great, we have new tasks to do! ]
