Countless people in Zhangqiu City cheered.

Li Jinming also gave up his large house in the city to treat and recuperate the wounded soldiers.

"Take out all the ham, bacon, smoked chicken, salted duck, salted fish and other things at home, as well as the dried abalone, sea cucumber and dried sea rice that I collected, and soaked them. Wounded soldiers will be arranged to come to our house soon, and we will prepare them for them.

Rice must be nutritious."

The gentleman's face glowed red and he was extremely excited.

"Master, we have donated food and money, so why don't we bring back the wounded soldiers? They are bloody and injured, it's scary." One of Li Jinming's favorite concubines couldn't help but said.

"You have long hair but short sight. As a woman, all the women and children in the family have moved to a separate courtyard in the east of Laosan City, freeing up the whole place."

Li Jinyi fully supports this.

The cheers outside resounded through the night.

They had personally experienced this great victory, and they could feel more clearly that the Ming Dynasty was really resurrected, and they really wanted to do something. Previously, they thought they were going to change the dynasty, but when they saw that the Kong family in Qufu took the initiative to submit to them,

, they finally followed the crowd and went to Beijing to take part in the examination and passed the imperial examination.

But now, they understand that this world still belongs to the Ming Dynasty and the Zhu family after all.

They were wrong before, so wrong.

Especially in the past two years, the rule of the Tartars after they occupied Shandong was inferior to that of the Chongzhen Dynasty. Although the Shence Army and the emperor came to Zhangqiu for a short time, the Shao Tian Dynasty's new policies and the discipline of the imperial army made this scholar's heart

Shocking, this seems to be the enlightened atmosphere that only saints have in governing the world that I have read about in books before.

He used to think that those were just the writings of historians.

But now I really feel what it means to change the day.

Li Jinyi specially drank a pot when he came back because he was too excited and couldn't calm down without drinking a little.

"The four-town imperial camp fought against more than 10,000 people under the Eight Banners in Manchuria. Not only was it a great victory, it was also completely annihilated."

"Well, I heard that more than 8,000 people surrendered."

"It was once said that the Hou Jin was invincible if he had less than 10,000 gold, but now more than 10,000 Manchurians have been defeated and frightened, and even more than 8,000 have surrendered. This is really unbelievable."

The two brothers were both well-known scholars in Zhangqiu. They had three generations of seven scholars and five Jinshi. In fact, all three brothers were Jinshi. This was a grand event that had not happened in Zhangqiu for three hundred years.

But before the torrent of this era, they feel their own insignificance.

They had flinched and been afraid when the Chuang army marched down Shandong and when the Qing army marched south. Even after years of reading sage books, they did not have the courage to raise an army like the gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Later, he also went to Beijing and went north along the way to Beijing and Tianjin. He saw a completely different scene from before. The Tatars were everywhere encircling the land, forcing people to surrender, forcing the Han people into slavery, and hunting down those who disobeyed and fled.

Deep down in my heart, I feel no pain.

Today, all the long-suppressed music was released, and with this great victory, my chest felt relieved.

He now regrets that choice very much, and now he just wants to try his best to make up for it.

······

Zhao Xiaolou and captain Li Baoquan finally returned to Zhangqiu City with the team. They were meritorious troops, so they were specially arranged to go to the city to recuperate.

The two of them also suffered a lot of injuries. They were arranged in the yard of Li Jinming's house, which became one of the camps for temporarily recruited wounded soldiers. Here they were surprised to see the other three wounded soldiers in the same team, and then learned from their mouths

It was learned that Deputy Liu was not dead. He was seriously injured, but he saved his life and is now being raised here.

Several people entered the Li family's courtyard, and Team Liu assisted their seriously injured soldiers in the inner courtyard.

So they happily went to visit Liu Maochun together.

"You are so lucky and blessed." Li Baoquan, who could not speak, sighed when they met.

Deputy Liu's bag was like a rice dumpling. He had many serious injuries, but the most critical ones were not injured. It was also well protected by the cotton armor on his body. However, if the medical team of the supply camp had not rescued him in time, the bleeding would probably have disappeared.

"We have read a lot of books from saints and sages, and we have great righteousness to protect our bodies." Vice Captain Liu could still joke.

"Liu Captain, please get well quickly. I want to read more books with you."

Six guys who survived the catastrophe came together, and each of them was seriously injured.

"Smoke." Deputy Liu asked for a cigarette.

Zhao Xiaolou quickly took out Xin'anjiang, one for each person, lit it and stood around silently sucking on it.

If one survives, there will be future fortunes.

They also knew that Shence Zuo Xie had made great achievements this time, and those of them who survived would be rewarded, and they would even be rewarded for sure.

"The Tatars surrendered more than eight thousand."

"Well, I heard that the auxiliary king Bolo was killed."

"We have killed quite a few Tatar generals this time. We, General Wen Shen, first beheaded a first-class male and hung him on a bamboo pole. This Boluo did not escape. This time we have really made a towering contribution."

"It's a pity that Zhang Tiezhu and the others shouted every day during training that they wanted to perform meritorious service in actual combat, but in the end they were gone in one battle."

"Well, he died so tragically, half of his head was trampled by the horse's hooves."

······

The food in the wounded barracks is quite good.

On the first night, a group of wounded soldiers screamed in pain, and many of them did not even make it to the next morning.

Deputy Liu came over.

The doctor who accompanied the army came over to check the wound, change dressings and gauze, and also gave him internal medicine and even ginseng soup.

"His Majesty has specially ordered a lot of ginseng to be sent to the wounded camp to replenish the vitality and blood of the wounded soldiers."

There were many wounded soldiers this time, but fortunately there was a lot of medicine prepared. Basically, they were treated as soon as possible. They did not appear to be wailing and waiting to die on the battlefield, nor were they said to be pulled back to the camp without medical treatment or medicine.

its deterioration.

At this time, the auxiliary battalion showed its extremely powerful role. Each war battalion was equipped with 180 auxiliary battalions. They were not only responsible for the operation of baggage, but also responsible for engineering tasks. They also had a professional medical team, including military doctors.

Nursing, stretcher teams, etc. were able to quickly establish a field hospital and also stocked a lot of medicines.

This can greatly reduce the casualty rate.

For example, Lieutenant Liu was not injured at the time but suffered several serious injuries. If Zhao Xiaolou and others had not opened the first aid kit they carried with them on the battlefield and bandaged Lieutenant Liu's injuries, he might not have been able to wait for treatment and would have bled directly.

died, or even got infected on the battlefield.

Now he is in good condition, with no obvious infection, no fever, no nonsense, no coma, and he is in good spirits. Although he is a little weak, he is obviously much better after drinking ginseng soup.

In the past, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had enough food to eat, and they could count on battlefield medical care. The limited military doctors and medicinal materials were all for the officers.

"Ginseng is so expensive, His Majesty is so kind to us soldiers." Captain Liu, a scholar, was extremely moved.

Li Baoquan smiled and said, "Of course, it has been like this since His Majesty raised the army. Besides, I guess the people in the Ministry of War don't want you to die. If you die, you will have to pay two hundred for compensation, burning and burial.

The extra two taels of silver will come out. All the training in the past few years has been wasted. It's such a loss. If you don't die, let alone take some medicine and drink some ginseng soup, even eat a pound of ginseng. They are probably willing to give it a pound or five.

The ginseng is only a few dozen taels of silver. If you lose this, the pension, the two hundred taels of burning and burial, not to mention the previous training expenses, you will still lose a lot of money, so we have to save some money for His Majesty and the court.

,cannot die.”

When Deputy Liu heard this, he almost laughed, but his whole body hurt when he laughed.

"Hiss, it really is like this. Therefore, our soldiers' lives are not cheap, they are quite valuable. A war horse only costs one or two taels of silver, and a piece of cotton armor costs several taels of silver. They are not as valuable as the lives of our soldiers."

"That's right, we are the emperor's personal guards."

Several people laughed together.

The Li family brought out their own collection of dried sea cucumbers, abalone, dried sea rice, ham and other good things for Shangying. The people above also brought out fine grains for Shangying, and even brought out fresh pork, eggs, fish, vegetables, etc.

Ensure the nutrition of wounded soldiers.

Captain Liu had millet porridge with fresh fish soup.

Although Zhao Xiaolou had a lot of injuries, they were mostly flesh injuries. He ate glutinous rice with diced ham, diced potatoes, corn kernels and some fresh pork. It was glutinous and fragrant, as well as thick white river fish.

, lamb bone soup.

He had never eaten such delicious food. He could eat several large bowls at a time. After eating, he had nothing to do. He just helped take care of other wounded soldiers in the courtyard, and then chatted with Captain Liu and the others.

It is said that Yulin, Jinwu, Qianniu and other towns have already arrived at Jinan City and surrounded Jinan City. The Eight Banner Mongolians in the city, but the Han army actually resisted stubbornly. Now the city has been surrounded and the emperor may soon move.

Jinan, but their mission from Shence Town is to garrison Zhangqiu City.

Wounded soldiers from various towns are also placed here. They may not be able to participate in the Battle of Jinan.

······

"I suggest that all the more than 8,000 captured Tatars be taken to the gates of Jinan City and beheaded!" The speaker was Chief Shence, Gongjin Gongyu of Changxing County.

"Your Majesty, most of these more than 8,000 prisoners surrendered on the battlefield, and not all of them are Jurchens. According to reports, most of them are Han Chinese."

"The Han people are all slaves of the Tatars. Do they consider themselves Han people?"

The ministers had different opinions on how to deal with these prisoners. For example, Jin Gongyu, the commander-in-chief of Shence, suggested killing them directly, which would save trouble, effort and food. There was no point in keeping them. These people were all bannermen and Baoyi.

The Eight Banners system of the Tatars consists of eight Manchu, Mongolian and Han banners. However, not all the Eight Banners are Jurchens. There are also Mongols, Hans, Koreans, etc. who have entered the Eight Banners. Similarly, not all the Eight Banners are Mongolian.

, Han people.
