Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 182 The Arrival of Military Doctor Li Rusong

Returning to Huang Laifu, Jiang Dazhong told Huang Laifu what happened just now. Huang Laifu calmly said: "The dispute with the friendly army will be discussed after the chaos is settled. In short, the number of your beheadings this time is 118. I will let He Ruzhen record it in the credit book." Let’s count together after the war.”

At this time, the siege battle was over, and all the siege armies slowly retreated back to their barracks, leaving only the green smoke curling up and down the city, making it a mess.Soon, some soldiers from the Ming Dynasty came out to clean up the battlefield, and doctors rescued the wounded.For everyone who was busy in the city, the rebels on the city just watched numbly and did not take any action. The weather was hot at this time, and if the corpses of the soldiers who died in battle were not disposed of, it might cause a plague.

In this four-way siege, the Ming soldiers suffered hundreds of casualties. Among the [-] soldiers Huang Laifu fought, seven were injured.There are about dozens of military and Chinese doctors who accompanied the army on the Wuzhaibao expedition. After they finished their work on the wounded soldiers in their own army, they helped the friendly army rescue the wounded.

In the current Ming army, the military medical system is considered complete. Each battalion is equipped with two medical doctors and one animal doctor who are paid by the military, and is equipped with corresponding first-aid medicines.At this time, in the Western European armies, there was no fixed military medical system, only some doctors and surgeons who were hired temporarily to fight, and collected medical fees from wounded soldiers.The social status of these European surgeons was very low at that time, and most of them were part-time jobs by some barbers.

Moreover, at this time, the treatment methods of Western military doctors were relatively primitive. For example, after they amputated the wounded, they used a red-hot iron to scald the wound to prevent bleeding.Also, when treating those wounded who were hit by the projectile, after the projectile was taken out of the wound, the wound had to be opened, and then boiled oil was poured into the wound, which made people shudder to think about it.

But at this time, in the various military camps of the Ming Dynasty, the doctors in the various camps were in a hurry, because there were so many wounded.There was constant crying and cursing from all sides, and the doctors were dying, but they were overjoyed to see a large number of Wuzhaibao doctors coming to help.

These Wuzhai Fort military doctors are all selected from the Wuzhai Fort Medical Center. They are all doctors hired by the Wuzhai Fort Culture and Health Bureau through high salaries from all over Ming Dynasty. Because of their stable salary, they are generally respected by the army. So everyone is doing very happily.The current Wuzhaibao army has at least ten doctors out of a division of 500. This time Huang Laifu brought thousands of soldiers, and there were 50 doctors in the army.In the future, Huang Laifu plans to open a military medical school in Wuzhaibao to train various doctors.

In the eyes of the soldiers of the foreign camp, these Wuzhaibao doctors each carry a special medicine box and wear a layer of white cotton cloth on their faces. This is the multi-layer mask of Wuzhaibao to prevent infection. disease.This mask, in history, first appeared in 1899.In the history at this time, it was originally allocated by Huang Laifu to the employees of the Wuzhaibao Cement Factory. Later, under Huang Laifu's order, it was widely used in Wuzhaibao Medical Center and the army.

Due to the large number of doctors and doctors in Wuzhai Fort and the sufficient medical equipment for their rescue, except for those who were seriously injured, the rest were rescued smoothly.This made Wuzhaibao army doctors famous in all battalions.Even Wei Xuezeng, the governor of the three sides, and several other civil officials were full of praise when they met, and greatly appreciated the spirit of the Wuzhaibao army in rescuing the friendly army.

After the generals of the battalions under the city finished treating their own wounded, the remains of the soldiers who died in battle were also collected. They took off the badges of the remains of the soldiers, and then corresponded to the army roster, as the proof of the family's compensation in the future. According to the Pension Regulations, the family members of ordinary soldiers will receive one shimi for funeral expenses in the future.The widows and children of military officers can be supported by the monthly silver full salary of those who died in the war.

This kind of treatment, if it is said that the generals and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are accustomed to it at this time, but according to the pension regulations of the Wuzhaibao army, it is far worse.This made the soldiers of Wuzhai Fort have a sense of superiority and a stronger cohesion in their hearts.It also made many sergeants in the city who heard about the treatment of the Wuzhaibao army feel envious in their hearts.

In the end, the remains of the war dead were burned collectively, and the generals of some forces could transport the ashes back to their hometowns for burial.And those ordinary soldiers can only be buried near Ningxia City.

While the various armies were rescuing the wounded and dealing with funeral affairs, the siege of the war had also brought about a raging debate among all parties.

The topic related to Huang Laifu is who should be credited for beheading the 118 heads of Qi Baijiading.

Although most of these heads were killed by the Wuzhaibao army, the heads were snatched by Liu Chengsi's men, and there were 45 heads.There are also the subordinates of the Magui Department, who have 73 heads.In the army of Wuzhaibao, there is not a single head.

In the large camp of the Chinese military account of Wei Xuezeng, the governor of the three sides, the generals and officers of each battalion gathered together, and there was a fierce quarrel at this time.Liu Chengsi, deputy commander in chief of Gansu Province, blushed and said, "Junmen, if the officers and men hadn't been encircled with all their strength, how could General Huang and General Ma's troops have arrived in time to finally kill these rebels? Therefore, Biaoxia thinks that these heads, my sons and daughters, should account for the majority, and at least 60 heads should be distributed."

Speaking of this, Liu Chengsi glared at Huang Laifu and Ma Gui angrily, especially Huang Laifu, his army was well fed and equipped, which made him jealous.If it wasn't for the sake of the Wuzhaibao doctors who rescued his injured subordinates just now, he would have beaten Huang Laifu in the morning.

Ma Gui snorted coldly, and a bit of excitement appeared on his weather-stained face. He is an old soldier, and has always been arrogant. He doesn't bother to argue with others, but it is about the credit of himself and his subordinates. How can Ma Gui let it go?

At this time, the 73 heads he held in his hands were enough for him to be promoted to a higher rank and restored to the position of chief officer.Since the year of Longqing, Ma Gui has been fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, gradually accumulating meritorious service, and was finally promoted to the commander-in-chief of Ningxia in the [-]th year of Wanli, and soon transferred to the commander-in-chief of Datong.Until he was impeached and relegated last year, he lost all face.This year, he was reinstated as the deputy general officer of Ningxia, which made Ma Gui feel better. However, he has always been entangled in the knot of being relegated, and he has heard a lot of sarcastic remarks from outsiders. Now he has the opportunity to return to his post. How can Ma Gui let her return to her former glory?

At this time, he snorted coldly and said: "Junmen, General Liu's subordinates have surrounded and intercepted the gangsters who left the city, but if I and General Huang's subordinates hadn't arrived in time, the gangsters would have broken through the encirclement and gone away. It's unimaginable. Moreover, the heads of those Ningxia thieves were all killed by my subordinate Erlang and General Huang's banner. At that time, the North City Gate Army did not find anything. General Liu's words are suspected of stealing credit."

After the war, the generals Ma Kongying and Ma Chengzhao of the Magui Ministry told him that they arrived at the same time with Jiang Dazhong and others. complete the interception mission.Of course, according to Ma Kongying and Ma Chengzhao, when they fought bloody battles with the generals, they cut off the heads while fighting, but the Wuzhaibao army didn't know what was going on. After killing the enemy, they forgot In order to cut off the heads, they were snatched by Liu Chengsi's subordinates.

Ma Gui naturally believed in what he said about his favorite general, and he was usually quite proud of the bravery of his subordinates. After hearing what the second general said, he naturally thought that it was only natural for his subordinates to bring back 73 heads. due credit.However, after a bloody battle with the Wuzhaibao army, his head was cut off by others, and he felt a little bit aggrieved.

Liu Chengsi was furious, pointed at Ma Gui and shouted: "Ma, what are you talking about?"

Ma Gui also drank back loudly, and said, "Liu Chengsi, do you think I'm wrong?"

Both of them are stout, pointing at each other's noses with needlepoints pointing at each other's noses, looking menacing.Seeing the two people's saber-rattling appearance, the generals beside them had nothing to do with themselves, they just watched the show leisurely.When they captured the city gate this time, apart from killing and wounding their own soldiers, they didn't get a single head.Seeing Liu, Ma, and Huang, the three of them won the first level of 118, and their military achievements are brilliant, they are all jealous, so it's good to watch a good show at this time.

Seeing several generals arguing, Ye Mengxiong sat aside, just stroking his beard and pondering, while Wei Xuezeng patted himself on the head with a headache.Since the chaos started, all the generals have been fighting for success, which has always caused him a headache.At this time, seeing Huang Laifu just standing silently, he felt better towards him, so he looked at Huang Laifu and said, "General Huang, what do you say?"

In fact, Huang Laifu didn't pay much attention to these heads. He knew the history and knew that in the near future, tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry would come to fight, and there would be thousands of heads for him to chop off.However, the credit for this time must also be contested. This is a matter of attitude. Otherwise, after the subordinates have fought hard, the main general will be indifferent, which will make the subordinates feel cold.

He clasped his fists and saluted and said: "Back to the army gate, General Liu and General Ma both worked together to kill the 118th Ningxia thief this time. It is still too early to discuss meritorious service, and we should discuss it later."

This time, it became clear that one party could not monopolize it all. Huang Laifu believed that it would be best for everyone to share equally, so he admitted it at a disadvantage.But I'm afraid that if this is the case, Ma Gui and Liu Chengsi will not agree, because in this way, both of them will have to share some heads with Huang Laifu.Or talk about it later.

Wei Xuezeng nodded to him approvingly. According to Huang Laifu's proposal, this is the best. The war in Ningxia seems to be a long-term one, so let's talk about it later.

Ma Gui and Liu Chengsi also agreed, Liu Chengsi knew that he didn't want to win any more heads from Ma Gui, and it was impossible for Ma Gui to give even one of his own heads to Huang Laifu or Liu Chengsi It is expedient for one of them to postpone the dispute until later.

The matter was settled in this way, Wei Xuezeng talked about the battle for a while, and was about to let the generals retreat, at this time, a soldier rushed into the tent, rolled to the ground, and reported to Wei Xuezeng: "Report to the military gate, Admiral Shaanxi General Li Rusong and Admiral Li Rusong of the Rebellion Army led [-] reinforcements from the towns of Liaodong, Xuanfu, and Datong, and they have arrived at Hongshan Fort, and three days later, they will reach the town."

All of a sudden, everyone in the tent was in commotion.
