At the Beijing Medical College, a pregnant ewe was tied to the operating table, screaming "baeba" non-screaming. Li Zhang was wearing a customized white coat and holding a strange tool. Behind him were Physician Zhou and a number of assistant teachers from the Medical College. These assistant teachers were all drawn from the Imperial Medical Bureau, most of whom were very young, which was also what Li Zhang asked. After all, young people have a stronger ability to accept new things.

"A woman is pregnant for ten months, but she often suffers from difficult labor during childbirth. Many of them are due to the improper fetal position, which causes the child to fail to give birth. Now the tool in my hand is called thorns, which is specially designed to correspond to this situation." Li Zhang said and demonstrated to everyone how to use thorns.

This pliers were specially created by Li Zhang according to his own memory. Although the use of pliers will cause some complications for mothers and babies, it is a revolution in the history of human reproduction. Many cases of difficult labor can be solved by using pliers. Of course, special circumstances like Queen Zhang before are not suitable for using pliers.

The ewe on the operating table is also in labor. Originally, it didn't need a strange tool like a forceps, but for the sake of demonstration, it could only be wronged. After all, Li Zhang couldn't really find a mother to let so many people watch.

The production of ewes was very smooth, but it did not prevent Li Zhang from demonstrating the use of forceps. In fact, this thing does not have any technical content. It is said that it was invented by the ancient Egyptians first, but some things need to be paid attention to when using it, and try to avoid causing too much damage to the mother and the baby.

Of course, some injuries are inevitable. For example, when encountering special circumstances, the baby's arm even needs to be broken so that the baby can be pulled out smoothly. Although it looks cruel, it can at least save the lives of both mother and son. Moreover, the baby's arm can be connected. As long as it is handled properly, there will generally be no sequelae.

Li Zhang explained in detail, and Doctor Zhou and others listened very seriously. There were even special people next to him to record. If it weren't for the inconvenient use of the brush, Li Zhang would ask everyone to take notes. However, the pencil has not been made yet, so they can only record it by special people and let them copy it later.

After a while, a wet lamb was pulled out by Li Zhang with tympanches, and the ewe stopped screaming. He probably had no strength. The lamb worked hard for a few times and stood up quickly. His big eyes were also looking at this strange world with a little horror. He probably didn't know who was his mother.

Li Zhang let go of the ewes at this time and asked them to take them away from their mother and son. Then he asked Doctor Zhou and others: "How about it, have you all recorded the process of using forceps?"

"I've remembered it!" Doctor Zhou and other assistants also nodded. This was not the first time Li Zhang taught them a class. In fact, before this practical exercise, Li Zhang had taught them a lot of theoretical classes, so they had already prepared for it. At this time, the actual operation also confirmed them with what they had learned before.

"Very good. I will arrange for you to do the actual operation tomorrow and next two days. I will give you scores in person." Li Zhang nodded at this time. The medical school has not officially started yet, so he is mainly teaching these assistants and explaining some modern medical theories. As for the real surgery, there are no conditions, otherwise he may demonstrate caesarean section to students.

After class, Li Zhang was a little tired. He immediately asked the assistants to finish class and went outside to wash his hands. However, at this time, Doctor Zhou suddenly came over and said, "Master, there is something I have always wanted to say."

"Brother Zhou, please speak!" Li Zhang said with a smile. Doctor Zhou looked old, but in fact he was only in his forties, and after this period of time, the two of them felt a sense of mutual appreciation.

"That's right. The Shanzhu talked about the use of forceps today, and the caesarean section I mentioned before, are indeed a life-saving method. However, our teaching assistants and students are all men, so it is not convenient to deliver a woman's childbirth, right?" At this time, Doctor Zhou finally expressed his doubts.

After hearing this, Li Zhang smiled calmly. In fact, he had thought about this matter long ago. Although the Song Dynasty was not as feudal as the Ming and Qing Dynasties, men and women still had to defend themselves. What's more, even in later generations, obstetrics and gynecology departments were mainly female doctors, and many mothers were unwilling to let male and female doctors help them deliver their babies, let alone women of this era.

"Actually, I asked the teaching assistants and future students to learn these things, not to let them deliver the mother's childbirth. The teaching assistants teach these things to the students. Our students will be sent to the local area to establish official hospitals in the future. Their task is not just to treat patients personally, but to bring the latest medical technology to the local area. For example, they can organize a group of midwives to teach them the use of forceps, which will definitely reduce the number of deaths caused by difficult labor." Li Zhang said with a smile at this time.

Hearing Li Zhang’s words, Doctor Zhou finally slapped his head and understood it, and immediately laughed: “Looking at my elm-head, I didn’t expect this. If the official hospital could be opened all over the country, I still don’t know how many people would survive because of it. It would be a huge merit!”

Li Zhang laughed loudly when he heard this, and his feelings towards Doctor Zhou were even better, because after he mentioned that the hospital was opened across the country, the first thing he thought of was to save countless people, rather than to make great contributions to it, and thus to rise to the top. This shows that the other party is indeed a kind-hearted doctor, no wonder he studied medical skills so hard.

"Master, someone is coming from the palace. Your Majesty invites you to the palace!" At this moment, someone suddenly came to report the report, which made Li Zhang immediately say goodbye to Doctor Zhou and then quickly left the medical school.

The day before yesterday, news suddenly came from the Liao Kingdom that Yelu Zongzhen launched a coup in Wenquan Mountain, which shocked Li Zhang, because this coup was half a year earlier than in history. Fortunately, the coup failed, Xiao Nojin was prepared and killed all those involved in the coup. Yelu Zongzhen also became a prisoner at the bottom.

But what Li Zhang did not expect was that another incident occurred on the night of the coup. Yelu Renxian convinced a Khitan general who held military power, and then rushed to Wenquan Mountain to rescue him, hoping to rescue Yelu Zongzhen, and even turned defeat into victory and controlled Xiao Noujin.
