stubborn thief

Chapter 139 Carriage Camp

The Lion Camp launched an investigation into the tattoos on the tiger's mouth, and this task was also done by the commanding officer.

Although tattooing has always had the contemptuous meaning of punishment and humiliation, the sergeants can understand it after knowing Liu Chengzong's starting point.

Of course, this is based on the premise that Liu Xiucai tattooed with them to show his determination.

Otherwise, no one wants to tattoo a word on their body.

If this matter was left to the previous court, it would be fine to stab a flower-legged army, and even recruiting an army would attract a group of Hua elder sisters who painted dragons and phoenixes.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu made a law, and he was extremely cautious about tattooing. Only the two crimes of robbery and robbery would be tattooed. Even family members who rebelled against the party, because "Da Gao" and "Da Ming Law" did not specify that they should be tattooed. What, sometimes it doesn't sting.

The extremely prosperous tattoos in the Five Dynasties, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties were also banned by the Emperor Taizu. When a baby entered the Tianwang Temple, he didn't know what was painted on the calf of the statue.

It's good now, Liu Chengzong took the lead in stabbing the word "anti-Ming" in ink on the tiger's mouth on his left hand, and for a while he made several jailers in the camp and assistant soldiers who were born as painters become popular.

Liu Chengzong pointed out that tattoo needles should not be used mixedly. If a person has been pierced, they must be boiled in boiling water in a small pot before they can be reused.

In fact, what they used were not tattoo needles, but sewing needles and wound needles from the baggage watch.

Not long after Liu Chengzong had someone stab the word "anti-ming" in the tiger's mouth with his left hand, he saw Chengyun on the fort.

This kid also just tattooed the words, and ran over with his hands covered: "Brother, are you looking for me? It hurts me to death!"

"Well, I saw the division commander when I was tattooing." Liu Chengzong didn't have time to laugh at his younger brother for being afraid of pain, so he said: "The division commander said that you asked the worker to make fifty guns. Is there such a thing?"

"Yes!" Chengyun nodded his head as a matter of course: "Hey, I just mentioned it to him, and I told you?"

"Yes, there is a fart. There are a total of eight qualified drill gunsmiths in the post. Fifty bird guns are enough to last this winter."

Just to make things for the supply post, other combat posts are not equipped with muskets?

Liu Chengzong said: "Why, it's not enough for your heavy post to get some knives, guns, bows and crossbows, but you also need to get fifty guns for use?"

He wanted to laugh when he thought about it. In his eyes, the combat missions of the work post and the supply post were not heavy. It was enough to practice a little and be able to form an array and use weapons.

The two sentries are together, and when there is an emergency, dig trenches and line up the supply post, it is enough to defend for a while, and five combat posts are still required for war.

I really hope that these two sentries will fill the battlefield, and the situation will be exhausted, and it is better to leave than to fight.

"No, it doesn't need to be so complicated. I'm taking the picture to send to the work post. Just take a look at it first."

Cheng Yun took out a piece of paper from his pocket, took a scribbled composition on the table and said, "It's not for the auxiliary soldiers, I prepared it for the wounded soldiers."

The picture is extremely crude, but it can be understood at a glance. It is a very common matchlock handgun.

Basically, the rod of the old firecracker is changed into a curved handle. A hole is cut in the middle of the curved handle, and a zigzag iron rod is inserted. The upper part is a matchlock rod, and the lower part is used as a trigger.

Simple to rough, this thing is easy to lay the pipe and drill the bore. Eight gunsmiths can make [-] guns in a month.

Seeing it, Liu Chengzong wondered: "Why do you do this?"

"That's what I think, bro, look, there are recruiting teams, mules and horse teams, cart teams, pond riding teams, and medical artisan teams at the baggage post."

Liu Chengzong didn't take care of the luggage, anyway, he always asked people to find a carrier for everything he lacked.

If there are some camps, look for transportation, and if there are no camps, you still need transportation. On the boundary of Yan'an Prefecture, he must have a way to get things done, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

However, he knew that the supply post and work post were not organized according to the combat post, and the soldiers were divided into five teams. He didn't know the specific purpose of each team.

The introduction of Chengyun is familiar: "The mule and horse team is in charge of the livestock, the cart team is in charge of transporting, the pond riding team is in charge of covering the surroundings, and the medical craftsman team is in charge of treating injuries. As for the recruiting team, hey!"

He grinned and said: "This is a gift from the gods of Fushi County. They hired people from the people and recruited people to help."

This Liu Chengzong can understand.

Recruiting civilian husbands is Chengyun's forte. During the three days of fighting Liuguo Town and Li Bei alone, he didn't keep up with Tianhou's army, and there was no one at the baggage post.

There are medicinal materials, medical craftsmen, and a lot of things, but in the end it was done well by the carrier.

I think this recruiting team is the helper Cheng Yun got for himself after that battle.

"Brother, you know how courageous I am, so I won't pretend to be a hero. The day you finished fighting Liuguo Town, you asked the Heavenly Monkey to find me to take care of the wounded soldiers. You were afraid of going to sleep all night, because you were afraid of the army and the collapse of the army. Soldiers came to me."

Chengyun raised his hand and covered the drawing paper on the table: "At that moment, I thought, so many wounded soldiers can't hold up their weapons, as long as they are beaten, they will die. Later, I saw your blunderbuss, and asked the division chief to give it to you as well." I made one."

He made a tsk-tsk sound: "About ten steps, you can put it accurately when you hold it. It is much easier to learn than a bow and arrow, and it doesn't take much effort. As long as the wounded soldier still has one hand, he can fight, and there is no hope of hitting it a second time. "

Liu Chengzong suddenly realized.

It turned out that Chengyun wanted to get the gun for this purpose, so he didn't need to say anything later, Liu Chengzong said: "There is a big battle ahead, and the ammunition for the gun will be loaded later, just waiting for the wounded soldiers to come down. If there are still hands, use them." One?"

Cheng Yun applauded: "That's right!"

For a long time, the baggage post has been a dispensable thing. From the beginning, there was only the donkey family, and now it has been filled with manpower, but the responsibilities are still not clear.

But you can learn if you don’t know anything, and you can deepen your understanding by making up for what you lack.

In the battle of Yanhe Qujia Paoshan, Liu Chengyun took on the work of the entire supply post by himself.

To transport food, vehicles, horses, guns and medicines to the front line, organize manpower to raise medicines and medical craftsmen, and clean up places to park and treat wounded soldiers.

Although the carrier was unprofessional in doing this, he did it.

You did not do well.

Just make a note of these deficiencies.

Liu Chengyun seemed to have opened up the chatter box, and kept telling his second brother about his experience: "There can't be only one wounded barracks, at least four, three near the front line, and one farther away and safer."

He raised three fingers: "The man who carries the stretcher must be taken by someone. This person must be able to distinguish the priority of the injury. The lightly injured should be sent to the slightly injured place, the seriously injured should be sent to the seriously injured place, and there is another person who is near the front line. Yes, it came out of a broken stomach.”

"Wait for them to be bandaged, and then they will be sent to a wounded camp that is farther away from the battlefield and more concealed to rest."

Carrier is not happy when talking about these.

Because this is a lesson in exchange for blood.

Last time alone, Chengyun set up a battalion of wounded soldiers at Panlongchuankou on the east side of Fucheng to treat the wounded soldiers of Shangtian Monkey.

His eyes were darkened, no location area was assigned, no priority was given, and seventeen lives were lost in one night while waiting.

Because there were not enough mulberry thread and gold sore medicine, seven people failed to stop the bleeding and suture the wound in time and died.

So he knows that he usually collects mulberry velvet.

I also know that when it comes to war, the wounded barracks will be set up before the war starts. Boil hot water in a pot, boil wheat water, wash gauze knives and other utensils with hot water, let the wheat water cool and filter, and leave it for medical craftsmen to use.

The stomach was cut open by a knife and the intestines protruded and could not go back. The doctor sprayed cold wort on the intestines, so that the intestines could wriggle back by themselves.

They didn't have cold wort in that battle, so they could only use mattresses to lift up and shake the wounded soldiers. One of them went back after shaking, and three of them couldn't go back and they were gone.

And the one who swung his intestines back didn't live a few more days, he was burned to death, the doctor said that the intestines were exposed, there were many wounded soldiers and dead people around, and there was no prescription for clearing away heat and detoxification due to poisonous gas.

Therefore, the person whose intestines have fallen out should be placed in a special area for treatment, and no one should be nearby.

In fact, Chengyun cried for a long time that night.

He didn't know those people who had been shot and arrowed, had their guts ripped open, their hands and feet were broken, and their blood was flowing all over the ground.

He didn't know any of them, and even 31 people were sent to him, and his body was already cold and stiff.

Later, there were those who could be saved, some who couldn’t be saved, and some who survived without much treatment.

Really helpless.

Chengyun cherishes these experiences very much, because he doesn't understand anything, and every point of knowledge in his mind is acquired by others.

"By the way, brother, there is one more thing I have to tell you, the wounded soldier."

Liu Chengyun didn't know what to say. He pulled up the stool and sat down, but felt that he couldn't speak, so he stood up again and said, "I found that none of you have made any plans for the wounded soldiers."

Liu Chengzong was still immersed in the treatment of wounded soldiers that Chengyun said, and suddenly heard him talking about this, and frowned.

He didn't understand, and asked with a confused face, "Aren't all the wounded soldiers healed?"

"Not your frontier army, I'm talking about Liu Jiusi, Liu Guoneng, Li Wanqing, Wang Ziyong, Luo Rucai, their wounded soldiers."

There were no wounded soldiers in the Lion Camp, and there were many armored soldiers from the beginning, but they ran around and there was no medical treatment available. The wounded either healed or died, and no one was disabled.

The recent wounded soldiers are nothing more than Zhong Hu and those who have recovered from their injuries long ago.

Liu Chengzong didn't know how other people dealt with the wounded soldiers, but he knew the wounded soldiers of Shangtian Monkey, so he said: "I have made a plan. When we joined forces, those wounded soldiers of Shangtian Monkey were not counted in the auxiliary soldiers, and they were all placed in Wangzhuangzhong. landed."

"But it's frosty."

Chengyun said: "Brother also allocated land to the disabled soldiers, but this year's harvest will not be good. I want to find another job for them. Anyway, we are going to Shanxi. Let me arrange for them before we leave."

This is a blind spot ignored by Liu Chengzong.

Liu Chengzong leaned back and smiled unconsciously: "Tell me how you want to arrange it."

His team is getting more and more formal.

The placement of wounded soldiers can actually stimulate the fighting spirit of other soldiers.

However, among all the leaders in northern Shaanxi, this is probably the only one who resettled the wounded soldiers purposefully and gave them long-term protection.

Others don't have such thoughts, nor do they have such abilities.

"I heard that Ren Qianhu said, brother asked Liu Juanjuan to pull a caravan?"

Chengyun had a serious face, but what he said made Liu Chengzong unable to hold back: "Why do you also call someone Liu Yujuan, there is such a thing."

"Isn't he just jumping up? That's my plan. There are many disabled soldiers in each tribe. They are actually the most loyal, because in this world, people with short arms and short legs can't live without us."

Chengyun didn't bother to call Liu Guoneng that way, and directly talked about his plan: "I plan to call all the disabled soldiers here before departure, to see the injuries and observe the temperament. If there is a broken hand and finger, as long as there is still one hand that can hold a weapon, Arranged to join the caravan, he will be lame anyway, he certainly doesn't mind."

"If the legs and feet are not flexible, put them in Wangzhuang, don't let them farm the land, and become apprentices to craftsmen. Anyway, after the Lion Camp is withdrawn, the iron kiln is empty, and the drilling machine can't be taken away. Let them make nails , drilling gun barrels...will we come back?"

Liu Chengzong nodded and said: "Of course I will come back, but it is impossible to bring down Taiyuan."

"That's fine. When we come back, they will make a lot of gun barrels and armor pieces, hehe."

Chengyun smiled cleverly: "I think we should take good care of the wounded soldiers. Even if they can't fight, they have other uses. There are also some who can use weapons but have disabilities, such as eyes, ears, and fingers. I plan to weave them into the supply camp on."

"Take something to carry?"

"No, there are the most remnants like this. Don't count on them to move things. When you enter Shanxi, brother, don't you want to attack Wangzhuang? Then you will definitely distribute food to the people. Find some dangerous terrain where you can climb high and look far, and be close to the mountains. Gu’s village, put them in there to live.”

He pointed his fingers and said: "Resist taxes, guard against thieves, hide from the official army, enter the military station to raise food for soldiers, and retreat to serve as a stronghold for wounded soldiers. Several villages are connected together, and those who are determined to inform the government Get rid of it, and the rest will be divided into fields and lands. What is the name of Huangchao? Tianbu..."

"The sky makes up for the average."

"That's right, the sky compensates for the average level, and we also equalize it for the people on behalf of the sky. Not only in Shanxi, but also on the eastward road, Yanchang Yanchuan, all equalized."

Liu Chengzong nodded and praised: "Not bad, yes, I will do as you say!"

Although the carrier is a bit idealistic, the direction is not wrong.

It's just that what is lacking in northern Shaanxi is not land, but water. If land is lacking, it can be divided, but if water is lacking, there is no way.

The so-called equalization can only refer to the villages on both sides of the Yanhe River and its tributaries. In other places, refugees are running around everywhere. If they can farm, they will plant the land, and if they can't, they will go to other places.

Just like the snow last year, everyone was very happy and felt that there was going to be a bumper harvest.

It is still freezing in March this year, which makes everyone unhappy because the production will be reduced.

All of a sudden, Xingzihe Wangzhuang, which was more than enough to support 4000 people, could only support [-] people in a blink of an eye. Maybe when the drought locusts broke out in summer, it would not be able to support [-] people.

Dividing land at this time is not so effective.

It's just that Liu Chengzong didn't know what the situation in Shanxi was like. If there was no drought, the division of land that Chengyun said would have a great effect;

Because people ran away when there was a drought, the remaining people must be those who can rely on land and property during the drought to live a half-dead life.

For these people, whether they can avoid paying that little tax is directly related to their life and death.

With Liu Chengzong's approval, Chengyun straightened his chest and was very happy: "Then I will make arrangements like this, and we can leave after the arrangements are made."

"Go, Yang Yao is also on his way back."

As he said that, Liu Chengzong clapped his hands: "Don't forget to call Liu Jujuan, give him a tattoo on the tiger's mouth, and wear something around his hand when he is doing business... This person is the most unsteady in his will, and he runs all over the place, so as not to turn around and take another one." The iron plate came to me."

　Good morning!
