Late Tang

The city of Taixiguan is not very big, except for the town general's mansion that has been burned down, there are only a few rows of good houses in the barracks.These houses were originally arranged for Li Jing to live in in the army.

However, in the end, Li Jing directly used it as a temporary barracks for wounded soldiers, benefiting from the Zhendong Army's emphasis on the treatment of the battlefield. Battlefield first aid technology, but also equipped with battlefield first aid kits.Therefore, in the eyes of some military doctors, there were many wounded who could not be saved, but after the final rescue, the injuries were alleviated.

The October afternoon sun cast a few streaks of mottled broken gold leaves through the transom on the barracks. The ward was filled with the smell of vinegar and alcohol. In one corner, a small pot of vinegar was steaming on a small stove. There is also a porcelain bottle of medical alcohol.Steam vinegar to sterilize, alcohol to sterilize!

The military doctors also wore a white medical uniform unique to the military doctors of the Zhendong Army outside their robes. They even wore white gloves on their hands and white masks on their faces.These are all sterilized, and after each use, they must be sterilized by high-temperature cooking.Moreover, those surgical instruments are no longer directly roasted on the fire for one or two times, but are soaked in alcohol for disinfection.

Now the military doctors of Zhendong Army have already established a set of strict medical standards, which has greatly improved the treatment rate of wounded soldiers.

The ward was quiet, and several doctors were wearing white trigrams, white gloves, and white masks to take care of the wounded and observe the injuries.Seeing Li Jing, Li Zhenlin Wu and a dozen or so high-ranking Zhendong Army come, they wanted to come forward to salute.Li Jing waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to be polite in the ward.

"How are they?" Li Jing asked softly.

"Several seriously wounded people drank Mafeisan to relieve pain, and now they are all asleep." At the end, he added that the dosage of anesthesia and pain relief was strictly in accordance with the regulations of the county magistrate, and he did not dare to give more.

Li Jing nodded his head appreciatively. These analgesic and anesthetic powders all contain poppy flowers or powder and shells. These Tang Dynasty doctors are also useful, but not many uses.Li Jing got a batch of seeds and planted a lot, but for these things, Li Jing managed them very strictly, and had special personnel to produce and process them, and finally supplied them to the military doctors, even the dosage was strictly controlled.

Without anesthesia and pain relief, many operations cannot be performed, especially some major operations such as amputation, many people will directly die of pain.And some serious injuries, if there is no painkillers, it is difficult to survive.

"Did the others take painkillers too?" Li Jing asked seeing that other soldiers were also falling asleep.

The leading military medical officer explained softly: "They are too tired. Now after the wound is bandaged and treated, they will naturally fall asleep. After a while, they will wake up by themselves."

"Well, go about your business, I'll stay here and watch for a while."

In the afternoon, when Li Jing sat there tired and fell asleep, Li Cunxiao woke up first, and when he opened his eyes, he was surprised to see Li Jing sitting next to him and staring at him. "Where am I?"

"You are now in the wounded soldiers' battalion in Taixi City." Li Jing replied gently, and settled with them after healed his wounds.

"Taixi won it?" Li Cunxiao's eyes lit up.

"Taixi City was taken down, but the four generals in the yamen fell down, and they were all lying on the hospital bed unable to move. In the four capitals of the yamen, only [-] wounded soldiers remained from the eight hundred elite cavalry." Li Jing suppressed his anger. , I don't want to talk about these things at this time, but seeing Li Cunxiao's appearance, I still can't help but say seriously.

At this time, Liu Xun and others beside him were also awakened by the sound, and they all saw Li Jing.

Li Jing sat among them, told them not to get up, and told the whole thing in a soft voice.

"Cunxiao, you fought, did you know that you took the lives of [-] soldiers, but fought a meaningless war? And you also exposed the strength of our Zhendong Army in advance."

Li Cunxiao didn't seem to understand this, so he couldn't help but said loudly: "But we took down a closed city, and a few hundred people took down a city with thousands of people. Master, isn't this a great achievement?"

Seeing that he still didn't understand, Li Jing said angrily: "This is not a great achievement, but a great crime. Do you know that if you attack without obeying the military order, this is a crime that must be executed. If you are not my student, you are not Seeing that you have worked hard to win the Taixi Pass and captured the three Li Kexiu brothers, you now have ten heads that are not enough to be chopped off by Du Yuhou, who enforces military discipline."

"Cun Xiao, you can't fight as you like, you have to obey military orders and follow the overall arrangement. Just like this time, because of your recklessness and greed for merit, in the end, not only three of your senior brothers were seriously injured, but also 720 brothers were killed in battle. Have you ever thought that these 720 brothers are also real people. Have you ever thought about how much we have to pay for these eight hundred elite soldiers and how much effort we have to train them into elite soldiers. And have you ever thought However, there are still 720 families behind these 720 people? Just because you were reckless and disobeyed the military order, you fought a meaningless battle without authorization, and killed 720 brothers as a result, don't you feel any guilt?"

Li Cunxiao, who was still a bit rebellious at first, became silent, he thought of his parents and relatives, didn't they also died in the war.

"You are young and brave, and you are the leaders of the younger generation in the army. I wanted to promote and reuse you in an eclectic manner. But your performance is not good enough for my trust, nor for the brothers who entrusted their lives to you. You think that fighting is What? Stealing the limelight? Cunxiao, take care of your wounds now. This time, I can't indulge you so much, or I will harm you in the future. A soldier who disobeys military orders will never end well. Which one in the future The boss is willing to trust you, which brother is willing to entrust life and death to you?"

"Master, I was wrong!" Li Cunxiao bowed his head.

"It's a good thing to be able to correct a mistake, but it's not enough." Li Jing sighed, "This incident has caused a very bad impact on the entire army, and you are still my disciples of Li Jing. It's even worse."

Liu Xun, Wang Yanzhang and Gao Siji all bowed their heads and said, "We are willing to accept any punishment!" The brothers under him almost died, and they usually get along day and night, but now they died fighting because of them.Several young generals couldn't help but look sad.

"I decided that this time I must deal with it fairly and justly. After you recover from your injuries, you will receive ten days of confinement plus one hundred army sticks. Ten army sticks per day will be carried out in ten days. The army will publicly execute it at [-]:[-] in the morning. In addition, all of your military posts will be removed. From now on, the designations of the four capitals of the Yamen will be cancelled. For the time being, you will all be assigned to the guard battalion as an ordinary personal guard, and you can attend the officer training class at night."

"When will you really re-understand what it means to be a soldier, military discipline, officer, know what fighting is, know how to lead an army, when will you be able to participate in the war, and exchange military merit for promotion, otherwise, you say you will be a bodyguard forever The messenger of the battalion. Do you accept my decision?" Li Jing asked.

"We are willing to accept all punishments." From Zhendong Army's most popular four generals in Yamen, he suddenly became a big soldier, and he was still a low-ranking soldier at the highest level. This gap can be imagined.But Li Jing's words also let them know some of their previous mistakes.Moreover, Li Jing's words moved these four young generals, because of their reasons this time, almost all of his subordinates were killed in battle, which not only failed Li Jing's expectations, but also failed the trust of his brothers.

"This is not punishment, but help." Li Jing said.

After talking with the four disciples about the results of their treatment, Li Jing took the initiative to change the subject and asked about their injuries carefully.In the middle, I personally went to pour a glass of sugar water for each of the four of them, and brought meat porridge.Even disregarding the objections of several people, let them lean on the bed, and let him feed them the sick meal.

"The temporary setbacks of young people are nothing. In fact, this is a precious experience. Only after being sharpened can a sword show its edge. I hope that this time, you can all understand and use practical actions to prove your ability. Don't let Others said that I, Li Jing, have bad eyesight." After speaking, Li Jing turned around and rubbed a towel, and wiped the sweat of the four of them. "You are not too young. Siji's family has already engaged a fiancée, and Yanzhang also has one. There is no rush for Liu Xun and Cunxiao. When I return to Dengzhou this time, I will give Siji and Yanzhang two The officiant. I will build two big houses for you in Dengzhou, and all the other expenses will be covered by the master. Try to make it as lively as possible, and you will be able to hold your son early."

When it comes to marriage, several people feel a little embarrassed.Gao Siji's fiancée was engaged when he was in Guizhou. The other party is also the daughter of an officer in the Ningwu Army. The two families are also family friends and they are well matched.Wang Yanzhang's object is Lianhua'er, and he treats her very well to this elder sister whom he met halfway.Li Jing also heard about some things between the two of them, and also agreed with their marriage.

The five masters and apprentices chatted casually together in the ward in the late autumn afternoon.We even discuss what to buy when we get married together.Even Li Jing imparted some knowledge about men and women to the four apprentices out of disrespect.It caused the four of them to blush and yearn for it.

The laughter of several people penetrated the ward and spread outside.Many soldiers who came to comfort the wounded soldiers felt a little strange.Before, the Duke of the county was furious in front of everyone, demoted the four lovers to the bottom, and became inferior soldiers.How come listening to their laughter now, not only the Duke's anger is gone, but even the four generals in the Yamen, who are proud and arrogant, don't complain about the Duke's heavy responsibility, but are so relaxed and happy.
