1886 Seized and let go

The rebels seemed to be determined to give it a try. They distributed the remaining food to everyone, and after everyone had a full meal, they told everyone that this was the last of their food and they could not take out even a single grain.

If you want to survive and don't want to starve to death, then follow them to attack Jiangnan. As long as you get into the city, there will be food, drink, gold, and beauties. You will have everything you need.

This method is simple and crude, but it is an effective way of motivation. The moment they betrayed Dongling, they had no choice. Now their food supplies are gone. If they don't want to die, they can only fight to the death.

"If we take down Jiangnan City, you brothers will be promoted to higher positions. You will be officials in the future and will never have to worry about food and clothing. You will have servants, and your sons and mothers will also enjoy a peaceful life. If we fail to take down Jiangnan, we will all starve to death together." The leader of the rebels was the deputy general of the prince. He was still urging these people under the city, hoping that his men could show some courage and take down Jiangnan in one go.

"I have checked carefully. There are only 10,000 soldiers in the city. The others have all left the city to chase us. It will take three days for them to come back. If we capture the city within three days, Jiangnan City will be ours. By then, we are still in the city, so even if reinforcements come, it will be useless."

"His Royal Highness Prince Zhou has ascended the throne. If you conquer Jiangnan, you brothers will be great heroes and officials, and your descendants will be superior to others. Those who have made great contributions can even be crowned kings and appointed generals. Brothers, what are you waiting for? Help me to attack the city."

There is nothing wrong with pursuing money and fame. There are always some people who like to take shortcuts and think that reality is unfair and does not give them a platform to display their talents. Now, after hearing this incitement, many people are moved. The rebels are more motivated and shout, "Attack the city!"

“Go ahead…”

Like locusts, they rushed towards the city wall...

"You are a talented general." King Jiangnan was in poor health, so Feng Qingchen went to the top of the city with King Qing.

Prince Qing rolled his eyes in annoyance: "If you don't have some ability, how can you gain my trust." Everyone knew that this man was a traitor, so why did Feng Qingchen still praise him? Really.

Okay, Feng Qingchen won’t praise me anymore.

"The party attacking the city always suffers a loss. Although there are only 10,000 soldiers in the city, they can't take it down in a short time. It seems that I have nothing to do here. I'll go to Yun Xiao and Wang Qi to see. I wonder how those students from the medical school are doing since they are bandaging people for the first time on the battlefield." Feng Qingchen thought she didn't know how to fight. If she hadn't been dragged here by King Qing, she would not have come to the city wall.

Jiangnan is King Qing's territory. She can complain about these two people's carelessness that caused her to be trapped in Jiangnan, but she cannot interfere in Jiangnan's affairs.

"Okay. You'd better be careful. If anything happens, I won't be able to explain to the Ninth Uncle." This is absolutely the truth. Prince Qing is not afraid that Feng Qingchen will be injured by arrows on the city wall. Once the two sides start fighting, he may not have the energy to protect Feng Qingchen.

In the wounded camp, although no wounded soldiers had been sent in yet, there were still people coming and going, and everyone was busy.

The students who came here today were the first batch of students from the medical school. Although they were taught by Gu Zhu, Chi Lianshui and Guo Baoji, they had no practical experience at all. It was inevitable that they would be nervous when facing patients for the first time.

"Quick, quick, boil the water...boil all the threads and needles, then boil two large pots of water, clean and boil all the used needles and knives. Check the bandages again to see if they are all in place. Medicinal materials...how long will it take to boil the anesthetic powder?"

The person in charge of coordination was also a student from the medical school, selected by Yun Xiao and Wang Qi. He was well-known in the medical school and had strong organizational skills. However, it was his first time, so he was still a little green and did not pay enough attention to details.

"These students are very good." Although they were nervous, none of them were afraid. They were all eager to try, their eyes full of anticipation, and they did their work very seriously. Even when they were cutting bandages, they were careful not to waste any material.

"Qingchen, you're here." Yun Xiao and Wang Qi stood up at the same time when they saw Feng Qingchen.

Wang Qi's feet are a little shaky, but it's not noticeable when he's not walking. If it were in the past, Wang Qi would definitely care about it, but now he has too many things to do and he has no time to be sad.

"These students are the best students in the medical school. They have studied for two years. The Valley Master said that they can come out to practice and treat injuries and the like. There are doctors from the academy behind them, so no one will die." Wang Qi looked confident and proud of the students of the medical school.

This was the first time that he had done something independently without the halo of the Wang family and his elder brother.

"They really need to practice more. The Valley Master and his colleagues won't have much energy and time to teach in the future. Let this group of students get the hang of it sooner. Twenty years later, perhaps the medical school can hire them as teachers." Feng Qingchen gestured for the two to sit down. The three of them sat together, watching the students perform while chatting about things in the medical school.

There are more than 20 professors in the medical school now. The three masters do not give lectures very often, usually only once every ten days. After two years of general learning of medical theory and medicinal materials, students will choose to specialize in a field based on the advice of the professor and their own ideas.

Every profession has its own specialization. Although Feng Qingchen wanted to train an all-round talent, human energy was limited. After all, there were only a few masters like the Valley Master and Chi Lianshui who knew everything. Instead of training a third-rate doctor who only knew a little bit about everything, she would rather train a doctor who could reach the second-rate or even first-rate level in a certain aspect.

The valley master and his colleagues also agreed with this point. They planned to try it out for a period of time and then make additions or adjustments if any deficiencies were discovered.

Medical school is a new thing, and they have to slowly explore many things and then try their best to find a suitable path.

"Qingchen, seeing the development of the medical school, I have some new ideas." Yun Xiao hesitated for a moment, but decided to speak.

Feng Qingchen asked curiously: "What idea?"

"The college has recently recruited a lot of students. I found that not everyone is suitable for studying medicine. In addition to doctors, this world needs many other types of workers. I want to set up some practical schools to teach ordinary people some skills. For example, cooking, woodworking, and even teach them how to be a shopkeeper."

As soon as Yun Xiao finished speaking, Feng Qingchen understood. In other words, Yun Xiao wanted to set up a comprehensive college to teach people how to fish.

Feng Qingchen certainly agreed, but now with the war raging, many things could not be implemented in an all-round way and could only be tried on a small scale. Jiangnan was a good choice, but in terms of personnel selection, Feng Qingchen hoped that the families of soldiers who died in battle and children who became orphans due to the war would be the main focus.

These two categories need more help from society.

"If possible, we should offer some skills that women can learn so that women who cannot rely on their parents and husbands can be self-reliant." As a woman, Feng Qingchen knew very well that this world was cruel to women.

If she didn't know medical skills, she would either starve to death or be sold into slavery. This world gives women too few choices.

"Okay, cooks and embroiderers, as long as you are diligent, you can learn these kinds of jobs, and it will definitely not be a problem to support yourself." Yun Xiao and Wang Qi also had this idea, but they were afraid that the academy would not be able to recruit students after it opened, after all, women rarely show their faces in public. However, they did not know that only rich girls could be kept in the boudoir, and girls from ordinary families would not have so many requirements.

It was not the right time or the right place, and the three of them could not talk much about details. When the conversation came to an end, a student came to report that they were ready and asked a few gentlemen to go and take a look.

Yun Xiao and Wang Qi were about to go over with the academy's doctor, but they had only taken two steps when a wounded soldier came over...

The siege has begun!
