As one of the generals in the late Ming Dynasty, Mangui also supported his family. There is no other reason. The military pay issued by the imperial court is too small, and the entire army cannot be supported at all, so part of it has to be intensively raised. At least half of the reason why the servant system became a strange military practice in the late Ming Dynasty was because the court had no money to cause trouble.

Therefore, Mangui will of course treat his subordinates differently. What's more, these injured soldiers are actually soldiers from the Beijing camp. After his own men fought several battles with Jianlu outside the city, only a few hundred servants were left.

Mangui passed over the civil servants and came to Hu Guang to report: "Your Majesty, there are too many wounded soldiers and there are not enough free barracks at the city gate, so we can only temporarily place them here."

Hu Guang was not satisfied after hearing this and immediately shouted: "Where are Li Fengxiang and Cao Huachun?"

The admiral of Jingying and the admiral of Dongchang both came out to listen to the order.

Hu Guang looked at the two men and ordered with a serious face: "When the soldiers are injured, they must be properly resettled as soon as possible. If there are no empty barracks at the city gate, they must be resettled back to the capital barracks. If there are not enough people, we can mobilize civilians to strengthen them." . Next time I see someone who fails to properly arrange for injured soldiers, I will ask you, do you hear me?"

"I obey your orders!" Li Fengxiang and Cao Huachun heard this and did not dare to neglect. They kept it in mind and replied loudly.

"Ding, the achievement value +1 comes from the wounded soldier's armor!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from wounded soldier B!"

"..."

After Hu Guang finished his instructions, he heard the system prompt. He turned around and saw that each of the wounded soldiers had excited expressions on their faces and wanted to kneel down to thank them. He couldn't help but said quickly: "Soldiers, please do not move around to avoid aggravating the injuries."

As he said this, his eyes scanned the wounds of the group of wounded soldiers in front of him. His brows suddenly wrinkled again and he asked, "Why are the wounds treated so carelessly?"

The Beijing Camp has long been in ruins, and various systems have long existed in name only. Naturally, there may be doctors in the army. The soldiers who were responsible for taking care of the wounded soldiers panicked and quickly knelt down and replied: "We don't know how!"

Hu Guang stared at them for a while, but didn't believe them all. Even these soldiers don't know how to do it, they are just randomly sent here temporarily. But as long as you are serious and responsible, you will not bandage it hastily.

However, he understood that some things have inertia, and there is no need to be harsh if there are other means available. Therefore, he pretended that he did not know, believed what they said, and turned to Cao Huachun and said: "Recruit all the doctors in the city." Apprentices, etc., if it is not enough, let the imperial doctors come together and we must try our best to rescue the injured soldiers."

"Slave, please obey!" Cao Huachun loudly accepted the order.

There was no surprise. At this moment, another system prompt sounded. Obviously, these ordinary soldiers are actually very easy to be satisfied. Even if they are given the basic treatment they should have received, they will be grateful.

Hu Guang thought so, but he did not consider the blessing of the emperor's halo. If just ordinary people said this, they would never have so many achievement points.

He looked at the soldiers in front of him with some emotion, and found that their uniforms were all covered with patches. None of them had iron armor, they were all cotton armor. Therefore, facing the rain of arrows from Jianlu, their defense capabilities were weaker. There were a lot more people injured.

After Hu Guang saw this, he turned to look at Nan Juyi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and said: "City defense equipment, especially anti-arrow equipment, must be built quickly. Do you understand?"

"I have received the decree, and I must work day and night." Nan Juyi quickly expressed his position again, and decided to adjust the focus of his work when he returned.

"As well as armor, try to match the soldiers on duty at the top of the city to protect their lives, understand?" Hu Guang ordered again.

This time, Nan Juyi was stunned for a moment and hesitated a little.

When Hu Guang saw it, he immediately realized that there was a problem, and immediately asked: "What, are you having difficulty?"

"I will do my best!" Nan Juyi had to promise, and then replied, "I just don't have enough iron material, I'm afraid..."

The imperial court had no money, so the previous iron reserves could not be sufficient. In fact, they were seriously insufficient, and they had just muddle along before. This problem was suddenly exposed during the war.

When Hu Guang heard this, he frowned. Just when he was about to say something, he saw the roof of the house within sight. His eyes lit up. He immediately turned to look at Man Gui and Li Fengxiang and said, "The armor should be as complete as possible. Before they are all equipped, you can order the generals to make homemade armor, prepare some tiles for them, and sew them into the cotton armor and helmets to reduce the probability of the soldiers being injured, do you know?"

In the battle to defend the city, a large part of the injuries suffered by the defenders on the city came from the damage caused by enemy archers. If tiles are sewn on key parts of the body to act as iron sheets, the damage caused by arrows can be reduced to some extent.

Upon hearing this, Man Gui immediately showed joy on his face and loudly accepted the order: "I will obey the order!"

If there was a simple way to reduce the casualties among his men, no one would care. Even if they ignore ordinary soldiers, it will still be the same.

Everyone stared blankly at the young emperor in front of them. They did not believe that the emperor had known this method before, because they had never heard of it. In this way, that is to say, when the emperor encounters a problem, he can immediately provide such an alternative method, which can effectively reduce the casualty rate of the soldiers defending the city. This is definitely a gift from heaven and the emperor is wise and powerful!

"Ding, the achievement value +1 comes from the wounded soldier's armor!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from Eunuch B!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from Civilian C!"

"..."

Hu Guang has become immune to the system's prompts. After all, there have been too many times, and there is no shortage of achievement points at this time, so he doesn't even look at how many achievement points he has, and starts to walk slowly into the alley, talking kindly as he goes. His face slowly glanced at the wounded soldiers who saluted him excitedly.

The following six ministers and cabinet ministers, whether they like it or not, the emperor has taken the lead, they have to put down their airs, pretend to be close to the people, or not, and follow them inside.

When Hu Guang walked to the far end of the alley, he saw the body lying on the ground and couldn't help but stop and look at it silently.

Injured soldiers don't get the treatment they deserve, let alone those who are already dead. This is a bit incredible to future generations. This kind of situation will never happen in a strong army.

If we don't properly arrange for the injured soldiers, don't pay for the sacrificed soldiers, and don't relieve them from worries, how can we give them the courage to fight?

Every time we talk about the Ming army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, they were completely defeated at every turn. In addition to the factors of leading generals, the imperial court could not relieve the soldiers from worries, which was not one of the important reasons.

Hu Guang turned to look at the senior Ming officials who were following behind him, and said with a stern face: "Have you seen this? The court has no money, so there will be many casualties. Do you see, this is all the price of life."

Having said this, he looked at everyone in the alley and announced loudly: "When the war is over, I will personally take charge of the funeral affairs of the fallen soldiers. I will also build the Ming Dynasty Loyalty Hall. All those who sacrificed for the Ming Dynasty and served the country will be honored. Enjoy the incense of the Ming Dynasty and live with the country forever!"
