At dawn, the sun rose, and it was a rare sunny day.
Throughout the night, killings continued outside the city, and the people in Taiyuan City were in fear and uneasiness. It could be said that almost no one fell asleep except for young children.
Of course, there is one exception, and he should be the sleeper closest to the battlefield.
That is Eunuch Chang.
Chang Yu doesn't like wine and rarely drinks. Last night he drank too much and fell asleep soundly. Despite the loud killing outside, he just snored in response. On the other hand, Fang San who was waiting beside him and Tie Zhu who was guarding downstairs and others tossed and turned several times.
I couldn't help but get up and look at the battle situation at the window.
Good wine should not be drunk, as has always been the case since ancient times. King Zhu Shenxuan of the Jin Dynasty entertained Chang Yu with the finest Fen wine, a local specialty. Although he was made to drift off, he didn't feel the pain of a split head when he woke up.
After being drunk and sleeping deeply, Chang Yu woke up feeling refreshed and refreshed after washing his face with cold water. The only thing he was dissatisfied with was scolding Fang San: "Don't sleep next to me in the future. You are snoring so loudly."
, so annoying."
Fang San was stunned, and suddenly realized how unjust Dou E's death was: I was so frightened all night that I couldn't sleep at all.
"She looks like she has pink eye." After washing up, Chang Yu went downstairs and frowned when he saw Tie Zhu and other personal guards with red eyes and listless spirits.
"Mr. Factory, last night..." Tiezhu was about to speak when Chang Yu waved his hand: "Fang San, did you have anything to eat?"
"Here we go, the factory boss's favorite mutton soup." Fang Dou'e instantly transformed into a chef and brought a large bowl of mutton soup and steamed buns from the side room.
With a bang, the door was pushed open, and a blast of cold air hit him. Chang Yu couldn't help but shrink his neck, but he saw Zhou Yuji walking in fiercely.
Oh my god, why are you so rough? Seeing Zhou Yuji's eyes were red, his face covered with frost, and there was even frost on his eyebrows and beard, Chang Yu couldn't help but stand up and invite him to drink some hot soup.
"The rebels have retreated, and I have brought back the position for you!" Zhou Yuji laughed loudly, and then said: "I'm going to take a nap." After saying that, he walked to the corner and lay down. Only then did Chang Yu notice that on the floor of the west side of the room,
It was full of people sleeping, and Wang Jimo and Cai Maode were among them. They seemed to be too sleepy, and there were stoves to keep them warm, so everyone slept soundly.
The people of Taiyuan will not forget you, and the Ming Dynasty will also remember you. Chang Yu looked at the civil and military officials with a solemn expression and eyes full of respect.
After finishing a bowl of mutton soup and sweating on his forehead, Chang Yu burped and pushed the door open. He was startled to see soldiers lying on the wall, sleeping soundly.
"grown ups"
At this time, He Chengxin came over, his eyes also red.
"Why don't you go and have a rest?" Chang Yu raised his eyes and looked south. Outside the moat, there was a mess and corpses everywhere...
"My lords, take a rest and take your humble duties." He Chengxin said.
"Who is on duty under the city?" Chang Yu stretched his head and looked down, and saw that there were also tired soldiers sleeping under the corner of the city wall, and there was a group of people waiting by the moat suspension bridge.
"General Niu" He Chengxindao.
Chang Yu hummed: "How was the battle last night?"
"Zhou's army mobilized half of the city's troops to attack and fought fiercely with the bandits. At one point, they reached outside the trench formation and approached the bandits' camp.
However, the bandit army obviously became fierce and counterattacked several times. The momentum made it difficult for our army to defeat them, but they never reached the moat despite their full strength."
"It must be that the bandit army didn't use cannon fodder later, right?" Chang Yu interjected.
He Chengxin nodded: "It's really useless."
"What happens next?" Chang Yu glanced into the distance, but saw no sign of the bandits.
"We withdrew at dawn, but..." He Chengxin said with a heavy expression: "More than half of the trench array was leveled and cannot be used for much purpose."
Chang Yu hummed and didn't say anything. You can imagine how many people died in a night of fierce fighting. Not to mention the refugees filling the pits, there were enough corpses.
"Sir, if the rebel army attacks today, I'm afraid the trenches will lose their effectiveness." He Chengxin looked worried.
Chang Yu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He had worked hard and exhausted manpower and material resources to build such a big project, but he still couldn't stop the bandit army for a day?
"Don't worry, the weather is nice today, a peaceful day!" Chang Yu looked up at the warm sun rising in the east and showed a smile.
He Chengxin followed his gaze and glanced at the fiery red sun. He didn't quite understand or believe it.
After a few words of explanation, Chang Yu turned around and went down to the city. His brows furrowed as he walked. There were tired sleeping figures of soldiers everywhere in the corners and streets of the city.
These soldiers, who had just retreated from the front line of fire, were covered in blood. They randomly found a corner and lay down. They were too tired after a fierce battle all night. However, due to military intelligence and military orders, they could only rest near the city wall and were not allowed to return to the military camp.
Chang Yu walked down the city softly and stood in a corner. He looked at the soldiers lying in front of him and saw that they were curled up and sleeping. He squatted down and touched the military uniform of one of them. He saw that he was just a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.
His dark and rough face could not conceal his childishness.
The young man woke up suddenly because he was too cold. He was surprised to see a person squatting in front of him. His expression was confused: "You..."
He didn't know Chang Yu, but when he saw several people behind him dressed as eunuchs, he immediately knew his identity: "The Factory Supervisor" was about to get up.
Chang Yu gently patted his shoulder, pressed him down, stood up, took off his cotton clothes and covered him: "You are a hero of the Ming Dynasty."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The young man was startled. He stared at the retreating figure for a long time before he regained his breath. He bumped his companion with his elbow and said, "The factory governor gave me a big cotton coat and said I was a hero, the hero of the Ming Dynasty..."
"I'm afraid you're dreaming. Go to sleep quickly and don't make any noise." My companion turned over and muttered.
The streets and alleys near the city wall were full of sleeping soldiers. Chang Yu walked gently as he walked, as if afraid of disturbing them.
Tie Zhu took off his cotton-padded jacket and handed it to Chang Yu, but he waved his hand and refused. He just walked north along the street with his hands behind his back.
After walking for more than fifty meters, dozens of black-clothed men with tigers painted on their chests came towards them in a menacing manner. The first one was Tu Yuan.
He walked a few meters in front of Chang Yu and saluted: "Sir, I have come to take my turn in my humble duty."
Chang Yu nodded slightly. Tu Yuan came here to replace Tiezhu and other personal guards who had not slept all night. It could also be said that from today on, he truly joined the ranks of Chang Yu's confidants. After all, such personal guards were previously on duty as eunuchs.
At this time, the more than ten Tengxiang Guards led by Tu Yuan were the first. Seeing that the people behind him were all big and round, and unusually tall, they knew that they were carefully selected masters.
Everyone continued to move forward, and when they arrived near the Drum Tower, they saw a hustle and bustle in front of them. Many civilians and refugees were gathered together shouting something, and they could vaguely see the figure of Sun Kangzhou, the prefect.
Chang Yu raised his brows and wondered to himself what was going on. The refugees gathered to make trouble and surrounded the Yamen officials?
At this critical moment, any slightest movement could turn into a storm. Chang Yu would never allow such a thing to happen. He could not help but show anger on his face. He held the waist knife tightly in his right hand and walked quickly towards the Drum Tower. He did not forget to order the person beside him.
Guards, send the nearest patrol team over.
However, when Chang Yu led Tu Yuan and others with murderous intent to rush over and prepare to kill others as a warning, they discovered...
Magistrate Sun Kangzhou and Chief Shi Fan Zhitai are recruiting
Recruit surgeons from all over the city as well as refugees.
After a night of fierce fighting, both the enemy and ourselves suffered heavy casualties. At this time, most of the injured officers and soldiers were transported back to the military camp for treatment. The most serious ones were rescued nearby at Sanli Academy, which is a street across the street from the west of the Drum Tower.
Sanli Academy offers medicine, and a great doctor, Fu Qingzhu, is in charge.
However, even so, the manpower was still far insufficient, and many soldiers were still waiting in line to be bandaged and treated. In desperation, Sun Kangzhou had to issue recruitment notices throughout the city.
It turned out to be a false alarm. Chang Yu and Sun Kangzhou chatted briefly, then quickly rushed a patrol team, signaled them to patrol normally, and then entered Sanli Academy.
There are injured and injured figures everywhere in the academy, and there are endless moans and groans. Fu Qingzhu and a group of scholars are checking and treating each one one by one. Seeing Chang Yu's arrival, he just nodded and didn't talk too much. He seemed rude, but in fact he was a kind-hearted doctor.
Heart.
Soon Chang Yu also joined them. In his previous life, he was engaged in fighting. Injuries were commonplace. He became a doctor after a long illness. In addition, as a later generation, he had some basic medical knowledge. These wounded were all wounds from swords and arrows. They were mended with stitches.
He had his life at his fingertips.
Fu Qingzhu saw that his technique was skillful and novel, so he couldn't help but come to ask. After all, there were very few stitches to treat wounds at this time, and he could only use medicine to stop the bleeding and bandage it.
Chang Yu did not refuse and gave on-site teaching, teaching the most modern, scientific, professional and effective methods from disinfection, sutures and bandaging.
He is extremely brave, can kill himself instantly with one move, and is good at strategizing. He heard that the bandits have been led by him since Jiaocheng. Unexpectedly, he is also proficient in medical skills and has good remedies. Fu Qingzhu suddenly felt that the little eunuch in front of him was not so annoying, or maybe
Is he really a eunuch?
Until Chang Yu left, this person was always on his mind.
