Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 89 Digestion in situ
After visiting the wounded, Zhu Yousong quietly came to the camp of wounded prisoners of war.

At this time, the military doctors were busy busy, needless to say, treating their own wounded, but when some military doctors came to the prisoner camp to treat these wounded, this was something they never dreamed of.

What matters on the battlefield is life and death. Whether it is surrender or being captured as a prisoner, it becomes meat on the chopping block. Life or death is completely up to others. It is already a blessing to keep them alive, but also for them Bandaging wounds and saving lives is a treatment they have never encountered in their lives.

Seeing the doubts and even panic on the faces of these captives and wounded, the military medical officer in charge said disdainfully: "It's really smoke coming from your Majesty's ancestral grave."

"Your Majesty?" The wounded prisoners looked confused.

The military medical officer glared, "Come on, why are you pretending to be stupid? This time, His Majesty personally led the troops and led the team to wait here for three days. Gao Jie is so stubborn that he dares to confront the emperor. He will undoubtedly kill himself. Wait." If you help the evildoer, you will be punished if you die, if it is not for His Majesty's order, I will not even bother to look at you if you die a hundred times!"

"Master Jun is not Huang Chuangzi's man, but His Majesty's man?"

The medical officer in charge said coldly: "Hmph, it was true in the past, but from now on, including Duke Yasukuni, they are all His Majesty's men and horses. The Duke knows the current affairs. Although he has acted improperly, his heart of loyalty to His Majesty has always been there." It is red. This time, His Majesty's trip to Chuzhou has given both kindness and power. The Duke of the State treats His Majesty like a god, unlike Gao Jie who does not change his traitor and supports soldiers to shake the Lord. However, His Majesty has the virtue of being good at life. Treat you, you will be satisfied even if you die, alas, why did I say so much to you bastards!"

Speaking of this, the military doctor suddenly turned around and saw Zhu Yousong standing behind him. He knew Zhu Yousong so well that he quickly knelt down, "I don't know if His Majesty is here, the villain deserves death. "

"Sir, you saved so many wounded people. You are my hero. What is the crime? Get up. When you move back to Beijing, your reward will be indispensable." Zhu Yousong laughed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." This military doctor was originally Huang Degong's standard medical officer. Like Huang Degong, he was in awe and loyal to Zhu Yousong. Seeing that His Majesty did not blame him, but praised him, he was flattered and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty..." All the prisoners who were able to walk knelt down, and those who were lying on their stomachs and those with limited mobility were also crying. It was only a daydream in their capacity to see the Emperor. At least their heads had to be chopped off, but the emperor not only ordered them not to be killed, but also ordered the medical officer to treat their wounds. The Ninth Five-Year Lord set foot in the humble land, and the hearts of the people were full of flesh. He said, "I'm confused, I deserve death, please forgive me..."

Zhu Yousong comforted them with some kind words, told them to recover from their injuries, and told them that as long as they could mend their ways, they could forget the past.It was such a blessing to them, the wounded were so grateful that they cried out to the sky, as if they were mourning their concubine, with snot and tears expressing that they would swear allegiance to His Majesty in this life and the next.

Their emotions and communication function quickly infected those captives who raised their hands and surrendered. When they learned that the army that ambushed them was led by the emperor himself, they were all stunned. Zhu Yousong's benevolence made them even more grateful The emperor's grace was as powerful as the sky, so all the [-] captives knelt down and begged for crimes, willing to take their crimes and make meritorious deeds, but the emperor followed suit.

This is what Zhu Yousong wanted, because he knew that the war was still to come, and it would be a burden if he didn't digest these prisoners on the spot.But I didn't expect it to be so smooth. I haven't heard the news of Gao Jie's vanguard and Xu Si's soldiers yet. It seems that there is still time.

Zhu Yousong was relieved, and his heart was ups and downs. He expressed his thoughts on these captives who were willing to submit to the imperial court: "It is very comforting to be lonely when you lose your way. People are not sages, so who can be innocent? Knowing mistakes can be corrected, and there is nothing good about it. You were originally an orphan soldier, but you took a wrong path because you were bewitched or the military order was difficult to violate, so this time the blame is not entirely on you, but the chief culprit is Gao Jie and a few chiefs. I will never add insult to injury. The rise and fall of a country is everyone's responsibility. A good man should be determined to serve the country. Now my Ming Dynasty is only left with a corner in the southeast. The country is broken and the people are covered. I will serve the imperial court and share my worries. I am still my good son. I will never discriminate against any other soldiers. I will treat them equally with other soldiers. I will reward you for your achievements and punish you for your mistakes. I hope you can make contributions and make your wives and sons , and stand out in the annals of history!"

The captives were full of enthusiasm and shouted in unison: "Thank you for your grace, we must change our past, but your majesty will follow the lead and swear to serve your majesty to the death!"

Twenty thousand soldiers shouted together, and the sound shook Xiaohan.In order to show his loyalty, one of the generals even asked for orders to kill Gao Jie immediately, and another general was willing to single-handedly persuade Gao Jie to confess his crimes, and Zhu Yousong nodded slightly.

The accompanying Zu Hai and Li Quan gave a thumbs up in secret, His Majesty knows the soldiers, just a few words turned enemies into friends, of course it is a hundred times better to let them serve His Majesty than to kill them all.

When the two were feeling emotional, Zhu Yousong said to the two again: "Adapt them immediately."

The so-called reorganization of captives is nothing more than disrupting the original battle order, adjusting and revising the commanders, including their ranks and ranks, first breaking the captives into pieces, and then reorganizing them into other troops, turning them into pieces. All in all, such a process involves basic information such as the name and hometown of the general. This is a very complicated matter, and it is said that it will take some time.

However, special circumstances require special treatment. It is obvious that these captives sincerely submit to the imperial court. They are similar to Huang Degong's subordinates. There is no need and no time to waste time on it. Therefore, Zhu Yousong asked Zu Hai and Li Quan to simplify the procedures and treat these captive soldiers The original titles and treatment will be retained, but their organization sequence will be disrupted, and they will be scattered to the general banners and small banners of the various guards in front of them, becoming a new combat organization.It's just that the original commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, generals, partial generals, and guerrillas will not lead troops for the time being, but only retain their original titles.So this adaptation is much simpler.

But the careful Li Quan still had doubts, and whispered: "My lord, isn't this too hasty and sloppy? The [-] captives will inevitably be mixed. Just like a grandson, what would you do if you defected while others were unprepared? The hearts of the people are so close..."

Zhu Yousong smiled indifferently, "It makes sense, the most difficult thing to grasp in the world is the human heart, because the human heart changes, even if a wise person can grasp it for a while, it is difficult to grasp it for a lifetime. I have given them a chance. If there is such a person, follow him. Go ahead, let them send a letter to the generals in Fengyang, Xu Si and other places, it may not be a bad thing, just follow the order."

"Little one obeys the order." Li Quan felt that the emperor was very insightful, so he gave a salute and turned around to change the captives.

Unknowingly, the night fell quietly, and the hilly field seemed to be covered by a huge pot, and the stars in the sky were like gems on the bottom of the pot.

At this time, a personal guard came to play, "Your Majesty, the dinner has been prepared, mainly with horse meat and horse bone soup. According to the emperor's order, whether it is the Chuzhou Tiger Army or Gao Jie's surrendered general Injury, everyone has a share, please eat your majesty."

"Well, that's good. I'm really hungry. I need to have a good meal. Please lead the way."

"According to the order."
