Royal road

Early in the morning, Zhu Er got up from the bed.In the fierce battle before, he injured his arm.Fortunately, his life was fatal, and it was just an ordinary flesh wound. When he returned to the barracks, someone debrided and bandaged him.Now there are several thick layers on the arm, the pain is pain, but there is only pain.

Although he was injured, after Zhu Er got up, he first carefully folded up the thick linen quilt on the bed, and then flattened the wool felt underneath.These were all handed out in the camp, and if they were damaged, they had to be brought home for the mother-in-law to mend.After finally marrying a bride, he couldn't bear to let his wife suffer.

Just like in the past, after finishing all this, Zhu Er looked up at the vacant bed opposite, sighed softly, and walked out of the barracks.

The battle had just ended, and there were no soldiers practicing outside for the past few days, so Zhu Er walked across the school grounds and walked towards the west of the barracks.As early as when the barracks were newly built, five large houses were secluded here, all of which were good houses facing the sun, and many strange high-footed beds were built, but no one was allowed to live there.Only now did everyone figure out what the houses were for.

This is the "ward" of the battalion, and all wounded soldiers must be placed here.Avoid diseases and facilitate medical treatment at the same time.When I returned home that day, the seriously injured lived in these rooms.The next day, the Lord Lang brought back two doctors from the county government and closed the door to treat injuries. It is said that many people heard the screams from here.

If he could not come to this place, Zhu Er really didn't want to come.However, Wang Wu, who was in the same room with him, was also seriously injured. Although they were constantly beating and scolding and like to argue, they were indeed the first batch of Zhuang Han to join the trilogy.They were trained together, experienced the first battle of guarding the Liang Mansion together, and were promoted to the captain together.But now, Wang Wu was lying in this terrible ward.

Opening his eyes wide and looking at the sign on the door, Zhu Er walked towards the westernmost room.Somehow, the door was ajar, and before stepping into the room, one could hear painful groans from inside.The voices vary in size, some are vague, some are sober, but no matter which one, it makes people anxious.Zhu Er swallowed his saliva, opened the door and walked in.

There are six high beds in the room, and one person is lying on each bed.However, looking closely, Zhu Er found that the bloody scenes of missing hands, broken legs, and disemboweled stomachs never happened at all.On the contrary, the room was clean, the bed was covered with neat linen, and the windows were covered with white paper to keep out the wind, allowing sunlight to shine in through the paper.And the room is not cold at all, the charcoal stove is burning in the corner, the shape is a bit weird, the smoke seems to be scattered outside the room along the long tube next to it, and it is not choking at all.

Although there is still a bit of bloody smell that cannot be eliminated, it is more like the smell of medicinal soup. How can this be given to the wounded?It's almost like the houses of the nobles!

"Zhu Er? Is that you?"

A hoarse voice came from the room, and Zhu Er remembered what he was doing here, and hurried to the high bed.When he saw the man lying on the bed, his throat choked up and he almost shed tears: "Wang Wu, you, your leg..."

I saw that under the hemp quilt, half of the outline was obviously missing on the left side, probably a leg was amputated.A good living person, who would have expected him to be disabled after just one battle.

"Why are you crying!" Wang Wu's face was a little pale, but his expression was still sober, and he cursed in a hoarse voice, "I just hurt my leg, but I'm not dead. Sigh, you don't even know how powerful that rain of arrows was." , Just by my side, three or four fell down. This is the real fate..."

"But you're like this, how can you lead troops in the future..." Zhu Er was halfway through speaking, feeling wrong, and just wanted to slap himself in the face!Isn't this worse?

"If you can't lead soldiers, go back to farm. Anyway, the Lord said that the disabled are also second-class meritorious service, and they will be exempted from ten years of land tax. Wait, let me show you something first..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled the bell hanging on the head of the bed.A crisp bell rang, and miraculously, the groaning in the room immediately became much quieter, the thick curtain was pulled aside, and a figure came out from the inside.

It was a woman!Zhu Er's eyes widened.Wait, why are there women in the barracks? !I saw that woman was neatly dressed, her hair was wrapped in a cloth towel, she was about thirty years old, and she looked pretty good!

Before Zhu Er could react, the woman raised her eyebrows: "How did you get in?"

Zhu Er couldn't help but be tongue-tied: "I, the door, the door is not closed..."

"Here are all seriously wounded. They need to rest and recuperate. They cannot visit at will." The woman walked quickly to Wang Wu's bed and said coldly, "What's wrong with you?"

Wang Wu had a bitter expression on his face: "Oh... Li nurse, I'm really thirsty, please give me a glass of water."

The woman glared at him, but said nothing, turned around and went inside to fetch hot water.While others were getting water, Wang Wu lowered his voice and said, "Did you see that! This is just yesterday, and there is one in every room! He is dedicated to taking care of our daily life! Changing bandages, wiping sweat, going to the toilet, everything. This girl did it!"

"Let a woman take care of you rough guys?" Zhu Er was even more surprised, "Why would she do it?!"

"You don't know, this is a woman rescued from a cottage. It is said that she came to the camp because she didn't want to marry. The team has said that she is paid the same as us, so we can't take it lightly. But I think she's interested in me, don't you think?"

Zhu Er didn't see if the girl had any intentions of admiration, but the disgust was clearly on his face.Seeing Wang Wu's appearance, Zhu Er couldn't laugh or cry: "The one who was rescued from the bandit's den is also a poor woman, and she has to take care of you, so don't belittle her!"

"Of course I know! I want to marry her!" Wang Wubai gave him a look, but he didn't look haggard, but returned to the old look that made people want to fight.

At this time, the woman came out with a bowl of water, saw Zhu Er, frowned and said, "Why don't you leave? That's right, you can feed him water."

Wang Wu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and glared at him angrily. Zhu Er hurriedly said, "I, I have an injury on my arm..."

"Yes, hurry up!" Wang Wu waved at him like chasing away mosquitoes.

Seeing his old friend like this, Zhu Er had no face to stay any longer, coughed dryly, and turned to leave.Standing at the door, he looked back at the several big houses side by side, and the worry in his heart seemed to have receded completely.The Lord Lang will never let them down, even if he is injured or dies, he will not abandon them.This is the lord worthy of their lives!

"Lord, after two days, seven of those who were seriously injured died. The rest have been treated as much as possible, and we have to wait and see for a few days." A medical worker knelt in front of the case and said truthfully.

In this era of underdeveloped surgical operations, serious injuries are really no different from death in battle, and it is already very good to be able to save a few.Liang Feng sighed softly: "The rest of the wounded patients should be treated well, and they should be saved as soon as they can be saved. Don't begrudge the medicinal materials."

The two medical workers looked at each other, they had never seen such a Patriarch before.In the past, when encountering wounded soldiers, they were not always thrown into a corner and left to fend for themselves.How could it be treated so seriously?Alas, it is also their blessing to meet such a compassionate Patriarch.

Another medical worker said: "And those nurses in the ward, are they unsightly..."

Liang Feng raised his eyebrows: "The nurse can't take care of the wounded?"

"No...but she is a woman after all, staying in the camp, this..." The medical worker was a little embarrassed, not knowing how to explain to this handsome gentleman.

"They are not camp prostitutes, they are only responsible for taking care of the wounded. If there are no more wounded, they will naturally go back to work in the manor. You just need to make a good diagnosis and don't cause an epidemic." Liang Feng said coldly.

Hearing this, the two medical workers did not dare to say much, and retreated after saluting.Liang Feng rubbed his brows in distress, the nurse system was really not easy to explain to the ancients.However, in the past few months, Yiyan and the others have conquered countless cottages, and the mansion has also taken in many miserable women who were robbed by thieves.Some women are able to get rid of the old shadow, remarry and start a new life.Some have the idea of ​​being alone forever.So Liang Feng let nature take its course, letting them learn crafts or nursing knowledge was also a way out.

And to be honest, the role of female nurses in encouraging wounded soldiers to survive cannot be underestimated.It would be a wonderful way to use these brave women to inspire the disabled to live.But these women can only stay in the camp. If they go out to fight, they may have to train some lifeguards.He is not going to return these two medical workers to Guo Jiao. When Jiang Da comes back later, let him organize and train a group of usable people.

"My lord, the selection of horses has been completed, and 57 horses of poor quality and injuries have been selected." Yi Yan strode into the room and reported.

"Very good, let someone send these horses to the county government, hand them over to Wu Ling, and bring them back for some fodder." Liang Feng said, "How many horses are there left?"

"There are 130 six horses left."

"Including the original horses in the mansion, we can make up 150 horses. It seems that we will open up a pasture next year. You remember to look around and find a suitable place." It is already a good idea to exchange some defective horses for fodder. Quite a bargain.If it weren't for the extra 100 horses, he would be able to eat his food reserves.

"Can the cavalry be expanded to 150 next year?" Yi Yan immediately cheered up.

"Well, not only the cavalry, but also the infantry will be expanded again. All the auxiliary soldiers who survived this time must be converted into regular soldiers, and then matched with a corresponding number of auxiliary soldiers. In this way, two infantry battalions are paired with a cavalry battalion. You will have the power to fight against the enemy." This was Liang Feng's preliminary plan, and when the refugees flooded in, he would go and rob people.In any case, we need to get [-] regular soldiers, [-] to [-] auxiliary soldiers, and enrich the various arms.It's just that I'm a little worried about the selection of officers. It's easy to get a thousand soldiers, but it's hard to find a general.

"You should also pay attention to the candidates for the backup battalion officer. If you meet a good candidate, report it and I will see it for myself."

"Subordinates understand." Now that Yiyan has commanded many battles, he naturally knows the role a good officer can play.Those in the team are very long, but you can pick and choose.

"Has the seized property been counted?"

"There are six carts of silk, two carts of various gold and silver jewels, and millions of dollars. The food is not a lot, only about 40 shi. The cashier is still in storage, and it is estimated that it will be cleaned up tomorrow." Yi Yan reported.

This group of rebels was really capable of looting, and I don't know how many villages they looted.It was also the best time for him to meet. This group of people just started to rob, and they still value all kinds of property. If they really become rogues hiding in Tibet, they probably won't ask for money, but only worry about treasure and food .

"Well, with all these, this battle was not in vain." Liang Feng nodded and said, "Those dead horses were also disposed of quickly, and the horse meat was distributed to the soldiers, [-] catties each. The rest can be marinated and eaten." Pickled, it is still useful when the refugees come back. Tan the horse hide well, leave the mane first, and then find a place to sell it in spring.”

The horses are full of good things, even the Huns would not kill so many horses in one go to sell.These materials must be stored well, and they will be sold at a high price later.Fortunately, it is winter now, and things can still be put away. If so many dead horses are obtained in summer, I am afraid they will have to eat them all in one go.

Yiyan nodded yes.He was used to herdsmen handling dead animals, and he didn't have the absurd idea of ​​"horse meat is poisonous" like the Han people, and he didn't find it strange to eat these horses that died in battle.These days, it is a blessing to be able to eat delicious meat. Who cares whether it is horse meat or mutton?

"Prepare some high-quality horse meat, food, and wine." Liang Feng thought for a while, and then ordered, "We will hold a celebration banquet tomorrow and reward the trilogy. By the way, let's announce the military rewards this time."

This is a big battle, and everyone deserves credit.This is the first time that there have been casualties in the series, so it is necessary to appease people's hearts.In addition, the end of the new year is approaching, so we will hold a banquet to celebrate and give out red envelopes, so that everyone can have a good New Year.Human hearts are fleshy, only you take them to heart and treat them like human beings.These people will risk their lives and live out their personalities.The strong army he needs can't just be brave and fearless, but also dare to fight, be good at fighting, and even desire war and victory.Only in this way can he keep himself, and keep the Liang Mansion's foothold in the troubled times.

And these are far more important than the imperial court's rewards.Liang Feng smiled, leaned over his desk again, and began to write the military regulations for preparation.

■

A big victory is certainly exciting, but when the good news is handed over to the desk, not everyone can smile.

Staring coldly at the letter on the case, Liu Xuan asked: "Gaodu's guards wiped out the rebellious army? Killed 470 people and only lost more than three hundred soldiers? When did the Jin army become so powerful?!"
