Chapter 311 Using the simplest treatment; provoking and humiliating Xia Jun
When the two imperial doctors heard the instructions from Zhao Guan's family, they did not dare to neglect and immediately ran to Brother Richard who had fainted from pain in the tent.
The two of them knocked Brother Richard's mouth full of blood, looked at the gastric wound, smeared Dali white powder, and then used the linen balls that had been boiled in boiling water and dried before stuffing them into Brother Richard.
In the mouth, it serves the purpose of pressing the wound and quickly stopping bleeding.
Although these two imperial doctors did not know what happened in the Chinese army's tent, they guessed that the important enemy general who had been captured must have angered Zhao Guan's family, otherwise he would not have ended up in this tragic fate.
end.
The imperial doctor used a clean linen ball to apply pressure to the wound in Brother Richard's mouth to stop the bleeding. After a while, they observed that the corners of Brother Richard's mouth were no longer bleeding as before.
The bleeding should have stopped.
The two imperial doctors admired in their hearts: Before this, Zhao Guan's family taught us the imperial doctors to use Dali white powder and then use sterilized clean linen balls to apply pressure to the patient's wound to stop the bleeding. It really worked.
What a miraculous effect!
They also saw that there were many small holes in the knee of Brother Richard's right leg, which was unconscious and lying on the ground, and blood was slowly oozing out.
'This captured rebel general not only has wounds on his mouth, but also on his knees! It seems that the injuries are not serious.'
Although they were both very skilled doctors in the palace, they couldn't quite understand what kind of powerful weapon the injury on Brother Richard's right knee was.
Of course, both of them are old Chinese medicine doctors and have been working as imperial doctors in the harem for more than thirty years. They naturally know that no matter how curious they are, they can't ask random questions. Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Talking too much may lead to death.
.
However, there are some things that a doctor must ask clearly, otherwise he will not be able to treat the prisoner according to the wishes of the Zhao family.
One of them, an old imperial doctor in his sixties, started respectfully and asked:
"We are reporting to the officials that this injured party member has a serious injury on his right knee, the skin and flesh are split open, and the patella inside has been shattered into dozens of small pieces.
There is still a lot of iron sand embedded in his thighs and calves, and there are many small holes in the skin and flesh, and blood is oozing out. Do you dare to ask the officials if they want to remove the iron sand from this person's right leg?"
Hearing this, Zhao Ji smiled slightly and said: "There is no need to take out the gun sand from Brother Richard's right leg. I just want to destroy the leg of Brother Richard, the God of War of Xixia and the commander of the Iron Kites Army!"
When the two imperial doctors heard this, they were extremely shocked.
It turned out that the big man we were treating was actually the famous Xixia Iron Harrier Army Commander, Brother Richard, King of Jin!
Zhao Ji smiled and looked at the shocked expressions of the two imperial doctors, and said leisurely:
"As I said before, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to one's own people."
"I originally gave Brother Richard a chance to return to Long. However, he not only refused to surrender, but also insidiously tried to alienate the relationship between me and your ministers. In the end, he even tried to assassinate me. Therefore, I
Punish him like this!"
Originally, the two kind-hearted imperial doctors were somewhat similar to Brother Richard who was so seriously injured. However, when they heard what Guan Zhao said, their sympathy for Brother Richard immediately disappeared. No more left.
They both even felt that Zhao Guan's family was already the most merciful monarch since they did not kill Brother Richard.
Zhao Ji moved his eyes away from the two imperial doctors. He glanced at the ministers in the Chinese army tent and continued:
"I know how important Brother Richard is to the Xixia Kingdom. He is not only a famous general with both bravery and strategy, but he is also an important idol like the soul of the Xixia Army.
If I abolish brother Richard, it will damage the morale of the Xia army and shake the morale of the Xixia army.
And I only abolished Brother Richard, but did not kill him, because I wanted to wait for his brother Li Qianshun to give up the important interests of Xixia in exchange for Brother Richard to return.
I never hope that if Brother Richard is exchanged back to the Xia Kingdom, he will "know his shame and then be brave", and then organize and lead a stronger Xixia Army to counterattack our Song Army and carry out attacks on the soldiers and civilians on the northwest border of our Song Dynasty. Crazy revenge!"
After Zhao Ji explained this, Zongze, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Zhong Shidao and other civil servants and generals immediately understood the Zhao Guan family's good intentions.
They all felt ashamed and lowered their heads in silence, not daring to look at Zhao Guan's sharp eyes.
Zhao Ji said with emotion: "I won't kill brother Richard, but I will destroy him!"
"I am definitely not trying to harm me because of Brother Richard, but I want to take some personal revenge!"
"I have disabled Brother Richard's ability to speak fluently, as well as his right leg. After the current wound on Brother Richard's body no longer bleeds, I will have someone break the patella of his left leg, and then let him People cut off the tendons of his left and right hands!"
"Ah?!" All the courtiers present were amazed in their hearts.
Zhao Ji continued leisurely: "I want to do this because of my consideration for the Song Dynasty!"
"My dear friends, please imagine this: If Brother Richard, whose hands were stained with the blood of the soldiers and civilians of our Song Dynasty, only suffered these injuries after being exchanged back to Xixia, would he take revenge on our Song Dynasty?"
All the ministers are lost in thought...
Zhao Ji said loudly and solemnly: "I think all my dear friends should be able to guess the consequences."
"My treatment of Brother Richard, who deserves to die, is definitely not out of personal anger! If Brother Richard, the God of War of Xixia, becomes a real useless person, he will no longer be able to give advice to Emperor Xia Li Qianshun, and he will no longer be able to give clear instructions. And with the loud command, he can no longer raise his sword and mount his horse to lead the Xixia army, nor can he bend his bow and arrow to shoot my Song generals!"
The ministers understood what the officials said, but they still felt a little worried about their face.
"Haha..." Zhao Ji sneered and said with emotion:
"For the long-term plan of the army and people of the Song Dynasty, what can such a reputation for abusing prisoners do to me? I will bear all the responsibility alone!"
"ah?!"
"Official justice..."
"I feel ashamed to be inferior to the magnanimity of the officials!"
The Zhao Guan family's explanation made all the courtiers present feel ashamed. They felt that their situation was really not as big as that of the Zhao Guan family.
I only wanted to leave a good reputation, but did not understand the great and far-reaching intentions of the Zhao Guan family.
Some ministers even had tears in their eyes after hearing what Zhao Guanjia said.
…
What Zhao Ji said not only moved the civil servants and generals present and the two princes Zhao Kai and Zhao Gou, but also moved the two imperial doctors very much.
They also understood the intention of Zhao Guan's family: the treatment plan for Brother Richard, the prisoner who deserved death, was to save his life. As for the gun sand in his leg, there was no need to take it out at all.
The patella of my right leg, which was broken into countless pieces, didn't need to be taken care of at all.
Zhao Ji saw that the two imperial doctors were really smart and knew everything. They didn't dare to bother about taking out the gun sand for Brother Richard. They took out the golden medicine from the medicine box and sprinkled it on Richard.
In the bullet hole in the right knee, no matter how clean the linen strips are, bandages are wrapped around Brother Richard's injured leg...
The most hateful injured should be matched with the simplest treatment...
Zhao Ji saw that after the two imperial doctors understood my intention, they treated Brother Richard very quickly.
They followed one principle: as long as the bleeding wounds on Brother Richard, the most hateful prisoner, were bandaged to prevent him from bleeding profusely and leading to his return to the west, then there was no need to treat any other injuries on his body.
"To report to the officials, I have bandaged the injured person and he is no longer bleeding heavily."
Zhao Ji nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, the two imperial doctors!"
"Come here." Zhao Ji said again: "Carry Brother Richard, this clown, out of the tent and keep a good watch on him."
"I obey the order!" The relatives and officials of the Imperial City Department carried Brother Richard out of the tent.
Zhao Ji waved his hand and said: "Two imperial doctors, leave one on duty outside the tent, and the other will take care of Brother Richard. There is no need to treat his injuries, just stop his bleeding and prevent him from dying."
"I obey the order." The two imperial doctors accepted the order and walked out of the Chinese army's tent. The older one was on duty outside the Chinese army's tent.
The younger imperial doctor followed the imperial edict and temporarily went to take care of Brother Richard, who was in a coma.
Zhao Ji said to the ministers:
"After Richard's wound stopped bleeding profusely, he was tied to the highest point of the carriage. Yue Pengju led a group of elite cavalry out of camp to the gates of Xipingfu City to provoke and humiliate the Xia army generals in Xijing City who refused to fight."
Yue Fei accepted the order and said: "I obey the order."
Zhao Ji then ordered: "After tying Brother Richard to the highest point of the chariot, we must also hang a banner with Chinese and Chinese bilingual characters on his side that provokes the Xixia defenders."
Yue Fei nodded in agreement.
Han Shizhong agreed: "The official method is very good."
Liu Guangshi said: "The official sage, this method is very wonderful! Wei Chen thinks that we can also put up a few more large banners with Chinese and Xia bilingual characters."
"On it, not only should it be added that our Song army annihilated the Xixia Iron Harrier Army and captured its commander Brother Richard alive, but it can also be written that the emperor of the Song Dynasty came here personally to conquer the city. If you and other Xia Kingdom's Xijing city defenders understand the practice, they can quickly
Open the city gates and surrender as soon as possible; if the Xia army surrenders as soon as possible, not only will they survive, but they will also be rewarded. If they want to stay in the Song army, they can still enjoy their official positions and treatment in the Xia army; if they do not open the city and surrender as soon as possible, they will wait until
When I, hundreds of thousands of elite troops from the Song Dynasty, attack the Xijing City of the Xia Kingdom, I will definitely massacre everyone in the Xijing City of the Xia Kingdom!"
Zhao Ji stared at Liu Guangshi who made an impassioned speech and did not immediately express his approval or objection to his proposal.
Zhao Ji knew that Liu Guangshi, one of the "Four Generals of Zhongxing", was not good at carrying guns and mounting horses to fight on the battlefield. Although there were many soldiers under his command, they were a mob. When encountering powerful enemies, the Jin army often collapsed without fighting, which made
Liu Guangshi was nicknamed "General who fled and knelt down".
In history, in the twelfth year of Shaoxing (i.e. 1142), Liu Guangshi passed away at the age of fifty-four. He was posthumously awarded the title of Grand Master by the imperial court and was given the posthumous title of "Wuxi".
Those with the word "奖" are not good posthumous names.
"Book of Zhou·Posthumous Law" stipulates that if there is a fault, it is "Xi".
Be careful of fear, also known as "Xi"
The time traveler Zhao Ji fixed his sharp eyes on Liu Guangshi and could see the merits and demerits of his life:
Zhao Ji knew that Liu Guangshi in history was really not good at leading troops in battles in his life. In the early years of Jingkang, Liu Guangshi led his troops to guard the northwest border. His troops were defeated by the Xia army at Xingzi Fort.
Liu Guangshi was one of the "Four Generals of ZTE", and he also fought tough and victorious battles that could save half of the country. When the Jin army invaded the south, Liu Guangshi and Han Shizhong led troops to defend the south of the Yangtze River. They made many military exploits and were promoted to the chief inspection officer and the chief security officer.
, all the envoys were commanded in front of the palace, and they were granted the title of Rongguo Gong.
After that, Liu Guangshi led his troops to fight against the Jin Dynasty, probably because he left Guyuan, where Han Shizhong was cooperating. He always lost the battle, and he was criticized for his "appeasement of the imperial army and his inability to regain his ambition".
However, Zhao Ji knew that Liu Guangshi was very good at recruiting surrenders and rebels in history.
Even the origin of the idiom "recruit surrender and accept rebels" comes from Liu Guangshi's deeds of recruiting enemy troops.
Historically, when Liu Guangshi fought against the Jin general Wan Yanchang in the Jiangsu area, he learned that Wan Yanchang's subordinates had been away from home for many years and fought on the battlefield for a long time, so they all felt homesick and longed to return.
Therefore, Liu Guangshi had some gold and silver coins with the words "Recruit Xin Bao" cast. Every time his troops captured Jin soldiers in battle, he ordered not to kill the prisoners, and also issued "Recruit Xin Bao" to the prisoners.
Coins with words...
He also said to the prisoners who were about to be released: "If you want to go home, just bring a large amount of "recruitment letter treasure" with you, and my soldiers will let you go along the way!"
The captives of the Jin Army who were released by Liu Guangshi took the "Recruiting Xinbao" coins and returned to the Jin camp unimpeded. They took out these coins and showed them to their fellow Jin Army companions. The companions were moved when they saw it.
He secretly went to Songying to ask for the money, and then fled home with the money.
For a time, the morale of the Jin soldiers was low, and countless people escaped. Wanyanchang ordered severe punishments, but still could not stop the soldiers from escaping, so they had to break camp and leave...
…
Zhao Ji listened to Liu Guangshi's dedication and stared at him closely.
After Liu Guangshi finished playing, Zhao Ji did not make a statement immediately.
As soon as Liu Yanqing saw his precious son, he offered advice and suggestions to Zhao Guan's family, but the officials did not express their position.
He immediately stood up to pay homage to Zhao Guan's family and echoed:
"The humble minister Yanqing reported to the official family. The old minister believed that Quanzi Guangshi's words were reasonable. In this way, the defenders of the enemy's Xijing City saw the King of Jin Richard who was captured by our Song army, and then saw
According to the content on the banner, when they learned that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty actually led a large army to conquer here, they would definitely be frightened by the power of the officials. Even if the enemy defenders could not open the city gate immediately, it would still demoralize the enemy troops.
With a huge setback, the enemy soldiers will be shaken in their determination to hold on to the city!"
Zhao Ji felt that Liu and his son, the old and young generals, were right.
Other civil servants and generals present agreed with his opinion.
Zhao Ji nodded in agreement, called Liu Guangshi's name affectionately, and encouraged:
"Uncle Liu Ping, he is well versed in the strategy of dismantling and recruiting rebel armies. The strategy proposed by your beloved is very good. I will adopt it..."
Liu Yanqing and Liu Guangshi were elated when they heard the official's approval and praise.
Both the father and son generals of the Liu family believed from the bottom of their hearts that if they had to meet a wise king, they would definitely fight on the battlefield and make great achievements in order to repay the great favor that the officials so appreciated...
Zhao Ji added to this plan: "Our army can put up more banners to provoke and persuade the Xia army to surrender. However, the literacy rate of the Xia army soldiers should not be too high. Therefore, Yue Pengju led the cavalry to escort Brother Richard to
The enemy provoked and humiliated the Xia army under the city of Xijing, and also brought the surrendered Xia army prisoners in advance and asked them to shout the words on the banners persuading surrender to the enemy troops in the city. This was to disintegrate the Xixia defenders!"
All the ministers nodded in agreement.
"The official sage..."
In the main tent of the Chinese Army, the commanders of the Northwestern Army of the Song Dynasty praised the Zhao Guan family one after another. At the same time, they were also looking forward to when the Zhao Guan family would issue an order to launch a general attack on the Xijing City of Xia Kingdom?
Although the commanders of these northwest armies were all wondering when they could launch a general attack on the enemy's Xijing, they did not dare to ask Zhao Guanjia directly to clarify their doubts.
However, Zongze, who had been in the officialdom for many years, was the first to speak:
"We, the Song Army's more than 100,000 elite soldiers, have already gathered here. I dare you to ask the officials when will we attack the enemy's Xijing?"
