Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 446
After these palace people have achieved something in their studies, they not only contribute more useful talents to the whole society, but also bring huge benefits to themselves.

In this era when a woman is considered to be an old woman at the age of 25, it is almost impossible for these palace people to marry into a family with decent conditions.

Zhu Youjian once thought about forcibly betrothing these palace servants to middle-level single generals in the army, but then he extinguished this idea.

No one dares to object to his words, but because of secular concepts and age disadvantage, after marriage, the husbands of these palace people are very likely to take concubines. The young concubines will inevitably be at a disadvantage in the competition for favor, and they are afraid that their lives will not be so satisfactory because they have no talents and gradually lose their beauty.

And if these palace people are skilled female medical practitioners who can receive the salary from the court every month, their future fate will be very different.

From ancient times to the present, doctors have been widely respected by all walks of life in society, and female doctors are no exception.

How can people not get sick if they eat whole grains?

If you are sick, you need to be treated by a doctor, and if a woman is sick, you must be treated by a female doctor.

The appearance of Jing'an Hall has brought great convenience to the majority of women, and female doctors were quickly accepted and accepted by this society, and no one questioned or abused it.

With the specialty of medical skills, the status of these palace people will be recognized and improved invisibly, they will have more choices and autonomy when marrying, and their future happiness will be more guaranteed.

After giving orders, Zhu Youjian went to the apse to change his casual clothes, took a nap for half an hour after lunch, and took Wang Chengen to Qianqing Palace after changing his clothes.

Recently, there have been continuous reports of battles outside the pass.

From Zhang Yuan's blockade of Yue Tuo, to Chen Qiyu's beheading the general and sending people to burn Abatai's food and supplies at night, until yesterday's delivery of the white-armed soldiers and the car battalion defeated the main force of the Six Banners of the Qing army. The documents came one after another, which made the atmosphere in the court a lot more harmonious recently.

Officials, large and small, in every yamen are sincerely happy that Jianu is about to be destroyed. In their eyes, Jianzhou is the territory of Ming Dynasty. Jiannu, like the bandits, are a group of rebels. OK.

Under Zhu Youjian's instruction, Jin Yiwei publicized the good news through various channels, and the millions of people in the capital learned of the victories won by the officers and soldiers. He expressed his utmost respect for his brilliance and prowess.

From the eighth year of Chongzhen to the present, in just four years, the bandits who ravaged the northern border of the Ming Dynasty have all disappeared, tens of millions of refugees who fled everywhere have been resettled, and the living standards of the people in the capital have undergone earth-shaking changes. After the establishment of slaves and extermination, Daming will once again return to the peaceful days of peace in the world.

Almost everyone in the capital believed in the coming prosperous age, because they had already felt the harbinger from the changes in themselves and around them.

Zhu Youjian who came to Qianqing Palace had just sat down when Yang Sichang and Wang Jiazhen, the left servant of the Ministry of War, hurried into the palace with extremely ugly expressions on their faces.

"Report to the Holy Majesty, the emergency military situation outside the pass has been delivered! Sun Chuanting, Chen Qiyu, and Qin Liangyu jointly wrote a report: Hong Chengchou, a scholar of the Dongge University and the governor of Jiliao, led his troops to intercept the defeated Ningyuan soldiers from the east, but they were ambushed and attacked by the enemy! In the melee between the enemy and us, Unfortunately, Hong Hengjiu was seriously injured. He was rescued by the standard battalion and returned to the city. He is currently being treated! Afterwards, the two armies of the Donglu army have joined forces and retreated to the Songjin line. The armies are confronting each other!"

After the two hurriedly bowed and saluted, Yang Sichang reported with a sad voice.

"What?! Hong Qing was seriously injured?! How is the injury? What happened? Are there any details reported?! What is the current situation between the enemy and us? Is the morale of the army shaken?"

After hearing Yang Sichang's report, Zhu Youjian stood up abruptly from the dragon chair, and asked questions continuously with a face of shock.

Unexpectedly, when the situation was good, Hong Chengchou, who has always been cautious in using troops, would be injured in the battle. Fortunately, Sun Chuanting and Qin Liangyu were also on the front line. With the army commander seriously injured, it is inevitable that the morale of the army will be unstable.

Although we don't know the extent of Hong Chengchou's injury now, since he is seriously injured, he will definitely not be able to perform his duties in the short term, so someone must be the commander in chief to command the entire army to fight.

Due to the limitations of medical conditions, serious injuries in the cold weapon era often mean that they are on the verge of death at any time.

In this era without antibiotics, all kinds of weapons carry a large number of deadly germs, especially the rust on the weapons, which will seep into the blood once it sees blood, making it difficult to remove and heal. There will be a persistent high fever, and most people will not survive it at all.

"Report to Your Majesty, this is the details of the battle situation reported by Sun, Chen, and Qin. Please also read it to my emperor!"

Hearing this, Yang Sichang took out a memorial from his sleeve, Wang Chengen stepped forward to take it, then turned around and bowed in front of Zhu Youjian, and Zhu Youjian did not check it immediately after taking it, but gave orders decisively.

"Companion, quickly send someone to the Department of Health and order Wu Youxing to rush to Songjin immediately with the required medicinal materials, and Hong Qing's life must be saved at all costs! I have ordered Sun Chuanting to temporarily act as the governor of Jiliao, and to control the situation. Soldiers on the front line! Chen Qiyu is in charge of the grain road, and must ensure the safety of the grain road!

Yang Qing drafted an order to order Xuanda Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, Shanxi Zhenhe Renlong, Ai Wannian, Shanxi General Soldier Wang Pu, Changping General Soldier Zuo Liangyu, Shandong General Soldier Liu Zeqing and other troops to leave the pass and go north immediately. !Order Huang Degong to go north immediately to defend the capital!Wang Qing, you go to Shanhaiguan to supervise the army immediately, in case something unexpected happens! "

After a series of instructions were issued, Wang Chengen, Yang Sichang, and Wang Jiazhen respectively went to work after saluting, and Zhu Youjian flipped through Sun Chuanting's memorial.

The reason why Zhu Youjian dispatched all kinds of soldiers and horses outside the pass was not because of the tense battle ahead and insufficient troops.

He wanted to take advantage of the great war to inspect the combat power of the soldiers and the loyalty of these generals to the imperial court, so as to prepare for the reorganization of the army after the war.

Zhu Youjian is not worried about the battle ahead.

Since the main force of the Qing army went south, it has been at a clear disadvantage in the confrontation with various Ming armies. The loss of personnel has been very serious, and the strength of the Eight Banners has been greatly weakened.For the Eight Banners with a small population base, these losses are fatal. Even if they return to Shengjing now, it will be difficult to return to the state before they went south within ten years.

The Ming army benefited from the power of firearms. Although there were also losses in troops, for the Ming Dynasty with a population of one billion trillion, the source of troops was inexhaustible.

Unlike the Eight Banners soldiers who relied on personal bravery, the training of the Ming army's musketeers was too simple, and there was no need to train martial arts to fight, all they needed was courage and perseverance.

To put it bluntly, as long as ordinary people train strictly for half a year, they will become a passable gunslinger, and after participating in an actual battle, they will quickly grow into a qualified Ming Dynasty officer.

Different from the extremely fast growth of the gunners of the Ming army, if a man of the Eight Banners wants to grow into a qualified fighter, it needs a long process in the middle, and he may not be able to succeed in the end.

Because the current environment and conditions have undergone tremendous changes, it is impossible for the Eight Banners to use the Ming army to train and upgrade as before.

Soldiers who have not experienced a lot of actual combat cannot be called elite troops at all.
