The cruel little princess

The days passed like this, and every morning Shen Youyou would go to His Royal Highness Prince Jin for special training. After the training, she would return to the tent to wash, eat, and visit her father and brother to take her pulse, observe the treatment's effectiveness, and adjust the medication accordingly. After completing these tasks, she would return to the tent for lunch. Afterward, she would take a short nap to recover her strength.

In the afternoons, she continued to busily prepare the cases and handouts needed for her lectures. After tireless effort, she finally had everything ready by mid-April. Meanwhile, the three hundred soldiers selected according to her stated requirements had been assembled and assigned to a special emergency battalion.

Shen Youyou divided the three hundred people into thirty groups of ten people each. Then, she asked An Er to help train their evasive abilities. By setting up various obstacles and shelters, they can exercise their ability to adapt to changing circumstances, so that they can better deal with complex situations on the battlefield. In this way, once a comrade is injured, they can bring him back to a safe area more quickly. In addition to these trainings, they also have to learn emergency hemostasis and carry bandages and hemostatic powder with them. In case of an emergency, first stop the bleeding and bandage your comrades while ensuring your own safety, and then quickly bring them back for further treatment. Each group consists of 10 people, with a team leader and two people in each team, focusing on cultivating their tacit understanding.

There weren't many young medicine boys in the military camp, so Prince Jin listened to Shen Youyou's advice and had a group of older orphans and beggars gathered from various locations. After cleaning them, he said to them, "There's a place where you can have enough food and warm clothes, but it's very dangerous. If you're willing to go, you must obey orders. Of course, you might also have the opportunity to make a name for yourself!" He then asked them if anyone wanted to go there, and found that eight or nine out of ten were willing to go to the border! The reason was simple: they were fed up with the daily grind of hunger, cold clothing, and wandering around.

In total, about 200 people arrived. Like the young medical students, they also learned daily how to disinfect wounds, stop bleeding, and bandage them. The more intelligent children were also taught suturing techniques. This significantly alleviated the shortage of medical staff in the military camp. After all, some of the medical students were already able to independently treat relatively simple injuries.

His Royal Highness Prince Jin saw hope in this and continued to look for homeless wanderers in various places. He first placed them on his own farm, let them do some simple chores and learn some words. When they grew up to thirteen or fourteen years old, he would send them to the military camp for training.

The issue of the young medicine boys was relatively easy to resolve, but there weren't that many military doctors in the barracks. Shen Youyou could only hope to train two or three of the best doctors from the existing ones to treat those difficult and complicated diseases, and then the rest could learn from them. Even if they were all young medicine boys, as long as they were trained well, their medical skills would always improve.

When Shen Youyou took out the two human models, everyone was stunned. You have to remember, at that time, no one knew the internal structure of the human body, let alone had seen such bizarre human models! These models completely overturned people's understanding of the human body, leaving them feeling unprecedented shock.

Then, Shen Youyou began to explain in detail the location and function of each organ, as well as the distribution of bones throughout the body. Her explanation was profound and easy to understand, giving everyone a clearer understanding of the human body structure.

Meanwhile, a memorial from Prince Jin finally reached the Emperor. The Emperor was delighted to read it. Shen Duanfang and Shen Zijin had been saved, and it was all thanks to that young girl. Furthermore, the girl had even offered the secret recipe for the Black Jade Ointment to the court free of charge. The Emperor, fully aware of the ointment's importance to the court and the army, exclaimed, "Although this woman is young, her vision is unparalleled. She is truly rare!" He decided to reward Shen Youyou.

The Emperor had His Royal Highness Prince Jin's memorial read out at the morning court session, and decreed that Shen Duanfang be promoted to General of the Cavalry, a first-rank official. He also appointed Shen Youyou the Princess of Rui'an County, and awarded her a hot spring villa, 100 taels of gold, 10 pieces of Shu brocade, 10 pieces of Su brocade, and a set of East China Sea pearl headgear...

The Emperor also specifically ordered over ten imperial physicians to rush to the border. Their first task was to learn from Shen Youyou how to make the Black Jade Ointment, and their second task was to study the feasibility of regionalized treatment, to see if it could be expanded to other military camps along the border. As soon as the imperial decree was issued, the eunuchs carrying the rewards and the imperial physicians set off without delay.

Back here, Shen Youyou hadn't received the imperial edict yet, but her life was quite fulfilling! Every morning, she would train with the soldiers, and in the afternoon, she would give them lessons. Although there hadn't yet been any battles or casualties requiring practice, Shen Youyou still had her men capture a large number of rabbits for them to practice their suturing techniques. Since they were new to the practice and their technique was unskilled, the first batch of rabbits was quickly consumed, which, to a certain extent, improved the camp's food supply.

But their progress was also enormous. From being terrified by the sight of blood at first to remaining calm and composed, from being afraid to take action to being able to do it with ease, it only took three days. Just as Shen Youyou had been encouraging them, "Right now, there's a rabbit lying in front of you, and you don't dare treat it or suture it. We can watch it bleed to death. What if, in a few days, it's your brother lying in front of you injured? And you don't dare suture him or treat him, but watch him die?!" These words were so resonant that the young medicine boys were inspired! Yes, if you're afraid to practice, sew, or treat now because you're afraid of blood, then if you're really on the battlefield and your brother is injured, and you're afraid of blood and don't treat him, are you going to do nothing and watch him bleed to death? They are heroes defending their country, this shouldn't be their fate!

Thinking of this, they had only one belief in their hearts, that is: I am saving people now, I am doing something that is beneficial to his life!

Shen Youyou looked at the excited and high-spirited little medicine boys and smiled with satisfaction. Yes, they each performed their duties, cooperated with each other, and fully realized the effectiveness of the saying "time is life". This was the result she, Shen Youyou, wanted!

As time goes by, Shen Youyou's teaching becomes more and more effective.

In addition, since this was the era of cold weapons, wounds were relatively simple, and they knew how to treat basic external injuries. Shen Youyou then began to teach them how to deal with arrow penetration, how to dig through the flesh and remove the arrowhead. Because of the previous experience of stopping bleeding and suturing, they also practiced using a knife to cut open the wound and remove the arrowhead very carefully.

Shen Youyou told them that if the arrowhead wasn't removed in time, the wound would become infected and could even lead to death. Therefore, every little medicine boy studied and practiced this technique very seriously.

Under Shen Youyou's guidance, these young medicine boys gradually mastered a variety of complex healing techniques. They learned how to clean and bandage wounds, use herbs and acupuncture to relieve pain, and help patients recover. At the same time, they also learned a great deal about the structure and physiology of the human body, which enabled them to better understand the causes and treatments of illness.

However, Shen Youyou wasn't content with simply teaching these young doctors some basic medical skills. She knew that becoming a truly outstanding doctor required continuous learning and exploration. So, she began introducing these young doctors to more advanced medical knowledge, such as anatomy, pathology, and pharmacology. Through these courses, the children not only gained a deeper understanding of medical theory but also developed their own thinking skills and innovative spirit.

Shen Youyou also encourages these young pharmacists to actively participate in clinical practice. She takes them to the wounded soldiers' camp to observe the changes in patients' conditions and guides them in diagnosis and treatment. This allows the young pharmacists to apply their theoretical knowledge to practice, improving their clinical experience and skills.

Later, under Shen Youyou's guidance, these young medicine boys grew up to become excellent doctors. Some of them were even sent to other border areas to spread the medical knowledge Shen Youyou had taught them, helping more people to escape the torment of illness. Shen Youyou herself, for her outstanding achievements and selfless dedication, won the respect and love of everyone. Of course, this happened much later.

Even Doctor Xu exclaimed, "I've never heard of anything like it!" So, he came every afternoon to study with them. This made Shen Youyou feel like she was teaching those modern-day military tyrants: if they didn't obey, she'd just beat them into submission! The difference was, here, she didn't need to use force; they were already impressed by her superb medical skills!
