After knowing that Shi Dayong was awake, Cao Bianjiao, Jiang Wanli, Ma Zhong, Li Dashan, Sun Youjin and other officers all came to visit. They had all seen the injuries on Shi Dayong's face when he was unconscious, so after they came,
They all tacitly kept silent about the injury on the general's face to avoid making the general sad.
Shi Dayong accepted the kindness of his subordinates and accepted their feelings. He kept his mouth shut and asked about the aftermath of the soldiers who accompanied him in the battle that day. To a certain extent, this matter was even more serious than the Daling River War.
Let Shi Dayong worry.
As a high-ranking person, he puts the fate of his soldiers more seriously than the situation of the battle. This seems to be putting the cart before the horse to outsiders, but in Shi Dayong's view, the two are not in conflict. Even from the perspective of future generations.
, His behavior may be a bit merciful. Not to mention the inconvenience and the huge cost, the trouble alone is enough to make people complain. It is far less convenient than burying on the spot. The family of the deceased will provide
With some pension money, the local government will take proper care of it, and the matter will be settled.
After all, these soldiers are not fighting for Shi Dayong, but are working for the court and the emperor. It is also the emperor's business to take care of it. It is a great kindness for those who lead his troops to eat less and drink more blood.
How can you manage so much![
These days, the troops are in a panic. Fighting is happening outside the pass, and there is also fighting inside the pass. No one will die one day. If all the soldiers leading the army were like him, the Ming Dynasty would be lively. In addition to caravans and transporters, all the people coming and going from north to south are caravans.
With the corpse team in place, paper money can be spread from Shanhaiguan to Guangdong and Guangxi.
However, Shi Dayong insisted on doing this, and even regarded carrying the corpse back to his hometown as instilling the military spirit of his Songshan Army. He shed all the snot and tears that a man should not shed. Why? Because he respects everyone and respects everyone.
Lost souls!
If he doesn't want to be miserable after death, like a skeleton in the wasteland, beaten by the wind and rain, eaten by wild dogs, or looked through by his relatives without knowing where he is, he must treat his subordinates and those who are kind to him.
Indomitable heroic spirit!
To kill decisively is pleasure; to move forward bravely is fear.
However, once a general succeeds, all his bones will wither!
For thousands of years, which famous general could transport a corpse thousands of miles like Shi Dayong!
After death, not to mention that there is a soul, it is so that their parents will not cry blindly, so that their wives and children can go to the grave to burn some paper money and provide some food during the Qingming Festival.
No matter how much money you spend, no matter how much manpower you spend, it’s all worth it!
Money cannot buy peace of mind.
…………
A group of officers had never dealt with the governor's yamen and the Liaodong soldiers. The battle was fought under Jinzhou City, so the body was taken care of by the civilians organized by Chen Ang, the prefect of Jinzhou. Cao Bianjiao was close to Governor Qiu, so everyone raised the corpse.
As a representative, he participated in the arrangements for the funeral of the fallen soldiers throughout the process.
Immediately he told Shi Dayong: "Li Desheng, Xia Yizhong and more than 300 fallen soldiers under Qian Zong's subordinates are all originally from Liaoyang, which is currently occupied by Jiannu, so the spirit hub was transported there, and there were not so many coffins to place at that time.
The heat could not stop, so the last general had no choice but to bury them in Songshan first, and then move them after Liaoyang was recaptured."
After saying that, seeing Shi Dayong's serious face, Cao Bianjiao thought that there was something wrong with his arrangement, and hurriedly said: "If the general feels that the general is not doing well, the general will ask someone to rearrange the arrangements."
Shi Dayong shook his head, patted Cao Bianjiao gently, and smiled sadly: "You did a good job. I have worked hard for you these past few days."
Cao Bianjiao hurriedly shook his head and said: "These are what the general should do. It is best if the general does not think Cao has gone too far."
"I don't mind it, I don't mind it. How could I mind it? You, Xiao Cao, are becoming more and more sensible now and can take charge of your own business. I am very happy in my heart. You have handled this matter very well, really well. Let the fallen soldiers
It is my consistent opinion that the bones should be returned to their hometown for burial, and I hope this idea can be passed down in our Songshan Army."
Having said this, he stopped and said to the crowd with sincerity: "Others lead the troops with loyalty, filial piety, wisdom and bravery. When I lead the troops, Shi Dayong does not talk about these things. I only talk about one thing, that is, I don't have to worry about my subordinates after they die.
Posthumous affairs. Maybe you will think that I have some mothers-in-law, some women, or some arrogance. I have decided the posthumous affairs before the battle has even started, which will inevitably spoil the morale of the army. But I feel that the soldiers will follow.
I, Shi Dayong, not only gave my life in exchange for the money to support the family, but also trusted me, Shi Dayong. When I was alive, I couldn’t give them the best. After I died, if I didn’t help them take care of their funeral, you said, I am a ginseng
What does it mean to be worthy?"
Ma Zhong said with emotion: "The general is benevolent and righteous, and treats my soldiers like brothers and sisters. We will only swear to follow you to death, and we dare not betray him!"
"I will follow you to the death, and I dare not let you down!" Everyone bowed down in unison.
Shi Dayong helped him up one by one, his eyes slowly passed over the faces of his subordinates, hesitating, and finally said: "Master Zhang led the troops to help. I intend to mobilize the troops to help, but I don't know what you want.
?"[
"General, this injury is just a little bit better, how can you go out into battle?" Cao Bianjiao was startled.
Jiang Wanli shook his head: "The general wants to send reinforcements, and the last general should accompany him to the death. However, we currently have less than a hundred soldiers in Songshan, while Zhang Bingbu has an army of 40,000. I'm afraid it won't be able to help even with our few people.
"
Hearing this, Shi Dayong was stunned, but he forgot that his subordinates no longer had many soldiers, and most of them died in the battle at Daling River and Jinzhou City. Erjin himself just wanted to go to the rescue and made his last effort, and he was also a soldier.
Can be saved.
"Yes, without soldiers, even if you want to go to the rescue, it will be difficult." Ma Zhong touched half of his face, and then looked at half of Shi Dayong's face. He was not afraid of death, but was afraid that Shi Dayong had just recovered from a serious injury.
I can no longer lead my troops into battle.
He had less than a hundred men under his command. The Liaodong soldiers in the city, led by Wu Xiang and Song Wei, all went to rescue Zhang Chun. The only soldiers left behind were regiment training troops and guard troops, only more than two thousand at most.
The city is already struggling, and young and strong civilians must be mobilized to help defend it. If Qiu Hejia is asked to take away all the regiment training and guard soldiers he has, I am afraid Qiu Hejia will not agree.
Do you just have to watch Zhang Chun's army being destroyed and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians from the Daling River descending on Manchuria?
Could it be that I really couldn't prevent the tragedy that happened in Daling River and prevent He Kegang's head from falling to the ground?
Shi Dayong had a huge headache. All the money he had spent on building Songshan was basically lost, and the wolf cavalry army was crippled. It could be said that he, as a general, had no soldiers left. Is it really necessary to carry these dozens of soldiers?
Will the tens of thousands of people and the Jin army fight to the last man?
No, if you want to die, you can't die like this. If you insist on going your own way, it will be unfair to these subordinates who are surviving the disaster.
Alas, Shi Dayong sighed and wanted to say that since he went to the rescue, he should stay in the city. Just as he was about to speak, the guards outside came to report: "General, Huang Shao, the two generals, have returned from Changping!"
