Doctors in the late Ming Dynasty

Zhang Jiebin heard that both Ma Shi and Wu Kun had outstanding works and such high evaluations. He simply couldn't believe it. Feelings The most outstanding young doctors in the Ming Dynasty were all surrounded by the Taiyuan Hospital. Now the Taiyuan Hospital is a holy place for doctors. Well deserved.

"Senior Brother Wu, you are so surprising to me. I think back ten years ago, you were just a little doctor who polished Master Gong's pen and took a few taels of silver. Unexpectedly, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have written books and become a great master. ?" Zhang Jiebin couldn't help smacking his tongue as he spoke.

"Jie Bin, you don't think Shanfu just wrote "Pulse Language", do you?" Chen Shigong said with a smile.

"Are there any other medical books?" Zhang Jiebin was quite surprised.

Everyone nodded, looking as if it was natural.

"As we all know, Cheng Wuji's "Shang Han Ming Theory·Medicinal Prescriptions" was the first to prescribe prescriptions. Our Ming Dynasty prescription book was revised by Bo after "Pu Ji Fang", making the prescription book more practical. But Shanfu's " Once the "Test of Medical Prescriptions" comes out, all other prescription books can be burned!"

The theoretical summary and research of prescription medicine began after the Song Dynasty, and began to flourish in the late Ming Dynasty. The representatives of these are Wu Kun's "Eight Formations of Medical Prescriptions" and Zhang Jiebin's "Eight Strategies of New Prescriptions" and "New Prescriptions". "Eight Formations", "Eight Formations in Ancient Formations").

The prescriptions of the two were a link between the past and the past, and Wang Ang finally achieved great success. His "Collected Explanations of Medical Prescriptions" became the foundation work for the finalization of the monograph on traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions and influenced subsequent generations for three hundred years.

It can be said that the "Essay on Medical Prescriptions" and "Collected Interpretations of Medical Prescriptions" that were born within this century represent the highest achievements of prescription books in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Wu Kun's "Evaluation of Medical Prescriptions" is not only a symbol of the maturity of prescription science, but also a symbol of the maturity of prescription science. It is also a representative work of prescription books of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, ranking first together with "Collection of Medical Prescriptions".

This representative work was published by Wu Kun three years ago, when he was only thirty-two years old.

Zhang Jiebin was already extremely shocked by everyone. Previously, Tang Xianzu, Zhu Guozuo and other scholars were all high school Jinshi, which he found incredible. Then Shen Yourong, Wang Minghe and other martial arts students also won the martial arts exam one by one and began to lead the army to fight.

Seeing that everyone was about to leave and enter, Wu Kun and others wrote books one after another, hoping to realize the three immortals.

"Jie Bin, you came back at the right time. It's time for you to show off your skills." Chen Shigong said at this time.

Zhang Jiebin remembered that all the medical officers were still discussing matters in the lobby at this time, fearing that something big might happen. He frowned and thought about it for a while, and he couldn't help but worry: "An epidemic has happened recently?"

Everyone nodded, and the atmosphere was a little heavy.

"Five years ago, there was big head plague. You were there at that time. It was difficult to overcome it. It appeared again last year, but fortunately it was not serious. I thought it would be better this year. There was a newspaper in Shanxi Province a month ago, and now it is even worse. It has spread to the capital, and Yu Yingkui and Ye Wenling have been ordered to go to support, but no news has been sent back."

Ma Shi couldn't help but sigh as he spoke. Since Zhang Juzheng died of illness, in recent years, there have been either natural disasters or wars. The capital city alone has been hit by epidemics three times in five years, and natural and man-made disasters have occurred one after another in various places.

"We are preparing in advance. Once the epidemic enters Beijing, it will be a tough battle. Our Imperial Hospital must not only take into account the safety of the people in the five cities, but also protect the imperial city from being invaded." Zhu Guozuo was also very worried. His mentor was the current emperor. The chief assistant, his father is also the envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital. When the epidemic comes, he will not be able to escape.

"Originally, our hospital did not have enough manpower. The expatriates could not come back for a while, and they had to stay in the Forbidden City. It was even more stretched. Fortunately, guest, you are back, so we can relax a little bit."

Chen Shigong said that although his surgical skills are top-notch, he is far from Zhang Jiebin's opponent in the face of the current epidemic. In this special period, a good doctor like Zhang Jiebin can be worth ten or a hundred ordinary doctors.

Zhang Jiebin nodded. Five years ago, he followed Jin Ying to treat Datou. It can be said that Shi Rentang was the Dinghai Shenzhen of Xicheng at that time. Not only did the Taiyuan Hospital not support a single person, but it also freed up manpower to help people in the suburbs of Beijing.

It's just that Jin Ying returned home with his family that summer, and Xicheng lost a leading figure, so the hospital had to take care of everything. Now that Zhang Jiebin is back, although he can't let go completely, the pressure is much less.

Wu Kun said: "This time the epidemic still comes from the west, and Xicheng and Nancheng will still be the hardest hit areas. Now that Mr. Mengshi is not here, the safety of Xicheng is worrying. There are many people in Nancheng, and most of them are poor. The sanitary conditions are even worse, and the doctors are not good. It has always been an area hardest hit by epidemics, and there is a steady influx of refugees outside the city, which will bring epidemics. It can be said that we are under greater pressure this time, far more than five years ago."

There are only about 20 medical officers in Tai Hospital. Now five of them are out and unable to come back for a while. The ten imperial doctors have to stick to the imperial city and protect the safety of the palace. The pressure is all on Wu Kun, Ma Shi, Chen Shigong, Yu Yao's day, Sima Dafu's body.

Two of the five are good at surgery, which is why Chen Shigong said that Zhang Jiebin's return would reduce their pressure.

Apart from them, the Imperial Hospital could only rely on the more than one hundred medical doctors, including those with high-level salaries and those with miscellaneous salaries. Although the number was not large, there were still about twenty people.

Most of these medical doctors are famous doctors at the prefecture level and division level (provincial level). They are famous doctors who can be recorded in the county annals and prefecture annals. There is no vacancy now, otherwise they would be qualified for the position of official.

"How many doctors are there in the hospital now?" Zhang Jiebin asked.

"There are eighty-nine medical doctors and one hundred and thirty-two doctors. Yu Yingkui and Ye Wenling took away five medical doctors and thirteen doctors. However, they are all in Gyeonggi and can be transferred back if necessary. ." Yu Yaori said.

Although it can be brought back, once it is called back, it means that the capital is facing a complete loss. It also means that the capital must be abandoned and the capital must be defended with all its strength. This is definitely a scene that no one wants to see.

Zhang Jiebin was a little surprised. Generally speaking, the number of doctors and doctors is equal, but now there is a huge gap between the two. There must be something wrong. Zhang Jiebin wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, he was no longer from the hospital at this time, so he might have some inside information. It’s not a good idea to ask.

Thinking about Yan Pingzhi again, I already had a guess in my mind. Nowadays, most of the people in Taiyuan Hospital are southerners. Zhang Jiebin, who was born in the north, only knows one of the Wang sect. Maybe it is a factional dispute, Zhang Jiebin thought silently.

Chen Shigong and the other four left. It was a tense moment now. They could not stay outside all the time. They came out to accompany Zhang Jiebin, not only to show their friendship as landlords, but also to ask Zhang Jiebin to help.

After their goal was achieved, they went back to continue their discussions, leaving only Zhu Guozuo to accompany Zhang Jiebin.

Seeing everyone walking away, Zhang Jiebin spoke up and said: "Brother Zhaolong, Uncle Dingyuan has been having a hard time lately. There are straight women in the west and Mongolia in the east. Ever since Qi Shuai was transferred from Ji Town, the burden of Liaodong has all fallen on Uncle Dingyuan."

It’s on me.”
