Chapter 294: I've never seen such a brazen person
As soon as they saw Zhu Cihong's face, Yang Sichang and the others first politely expressed a few words of condolence, and then impatiently asked about the results of the Tianwu Army.
When they heard the number of beheadings reported by Gu Wei of the Ministry of Military Justice, Yang Sichang, Gao Qiqian and the others laughed out loud, as if this battle was completed by their command.
Chen Xinjia and several general soldiers of Guan Ningjun also smiled and looked very happy.
Yang Sichang said: "Slave Chief Duoduo was really killed? ”
Yang Sichang is very concerned about this matter, since the Wanli period, Nurhachi rose to the current Huang Taiji, these more than 20 years, Liaodong will report to the court to kill dozens of Jiannu princes and ministers, even Huang Taiji and Dolgon have reported death several times, but now they are still alive and well, Dolgon even hit Shandong.
Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "Duoduo's corpse is there, and it was killed by a pawn of our army. ”
Hearing this, Yang Sichang looked overjoyed, and killed a prince of Jiannu, which is a great credit.
The expressions of the generals of Guan Ningjun and Xuanda Army were annoyed, a Tartar prince was actually killed by a pawn of the Tianwu Army, this is ...... Why don't you pick up this kind of good deed yourself?
Inspector Chen Xinjia smiled and said, "Your Highness's plan to encircle this time is really perfect!" ”
Zhu Cihong looked at him in surprise and said, "Does it have anything to do with you?" ”
Chen Xinjia was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed at himself, his face flushed slightly.
Gao Qiqian and Yang Sichang glanced at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes.
Gao Qiqian said tentatively: "Your Highness has won a great victory, and has made an immortal miracle, I don't know how to write this good news?" ”
Zhu Cihong said quietly: "What do you mean by Gao Companion?" ”
Chen Xinjia and the others were overjoyed, and secretly said that there was a play.
Gao Qiqian said with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, what the old slave means is that this good news can be done with some Spring and Autumn brushwork." ”
Seeing that Zhu Cihong's face turned cold, Gao Qiqian hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, don't misunderstand, I dare not erase the merits of Your Highness and the Tianwu Army, the old slave only hopes that Your Highness can write our names on the good news and put them on a few strokes." ”
In the officialdom, the general will give some soup to the friendly army when he encounters this situation, otherwise he will suffer from jealousy and hatred, and be secretly stumped.
Gao Qiqian was the supervisor of the army, and he wrote the original battle report, and then submitted it to the imperial front, before Lu Xiangsheng won several battles as a supervisor, he wrote it messily, erasing Lu Xiangsheng's military exploits.
Now the crown prince didn't pass through him at all, and directly sent someone to send the good news into the palace, making Gao Qiqian very passive.
Zhu Cihong sneered again and again, the old eunuch escaped from the battle, and now he is still licking his face to ask for military merits!
Although this battle beheaded Duoduo and annihilated tens of thousands of Qing soldiers, the Tianwu Army also lost a lot of soldiers.
This battle has something to do with you, and it's only about the sin that you escaped from the battle!
In the eager eyes of several people, Zhu Cihong asked Gu Weidao: "What are the casualties of our army in this battle?" ”
Gu Wei said: "Back to Your Highness, our Tianwu Army suffered 3,200 casualties in this battle, of which 1,055 were killed in battle, 620 were seriously wounded, and the rest were slightly injured. ”
The casualties of the Tianwu Army were mainly cold weapons when the battle was fought, and the fighting ability of the Eight Banners Manchurian soldiers was very strong, and it was a battle of trapped beasts, and the two sides rushed to kill, and life and death were only in the blink of an eye.
If it weren't for the artillery and guns that needed to be cooled, the Tianwu Army would be able to practice the Qing army as a target.
When attacking in artillery and musket arrays, the Qing army could only be beaten, and it was difficult for their cavalry to approach the trenches, and it was difficult for the Qing army's bows and arrows to do much damage to the well-armored ones, not to mention the sandbag bunkers and iron shields to protect the front parts.
Gao Qi slapped his horse and said: "The Tianwu Army has achieved such a big record, but only has such a small battle loss, it is really an elite division!" ”
Zhu Cihong ignored him, looked at Gu Wei and said, "The soldiers who died in the battle are well compensated, and take the palace to see the wounded soldiers." ”
Under the leadership of Gu Wei, Zhu Cihong and other generals of the Tianwu Army walked towards the temporary field hospital, Yang Sichang and the others glanced at each other, and hurriedly followed.
There are special medical soldiers in the Tianwu Army, and there are five medical soldiers in each of the 128 people.
The makeshift field hospital is made up of tall tents, and at this time there are people coming and going, and medical soldiers are nervously treating wounded sergeants.
Outside each tent, a large cauldron was propped up, and the boiling water inside was churning for disinfection, and before Zhu Cihong entered the tent, he heard the howls and moans of the wounded in the tent.
Most of the Mongol cavalry mainly focused on projectile shooting, supplemented by direct fire, and focused on group shooting and rate of fire, while the Manchurian archers were the opposite, preferring to fight at close range with hard bows and heavy arrows.
Most of the Manchurian soldiers used recurve compound bows, the arrows were heavy and large, there were several blood grooves on them, and shovel arrows, which had great destructive power, and the wounds were large after being shot, and the wounds were difficult to suture.
Even some arrows have barbs on them, and if they are pulled out directly, they will bleed to death, so they can only cut the wound wide on all sides and slowly take out the arrows.
During this period, there were no advanced anesthetics and other medicines, and the medical soldiers could only use the goldenrod recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" to give the soldiers a simple anesthesia, and then cut the flesh to take the arrow, and then stitch it up.
More of the wounded soldiers were wounded in close combat, and the wounds were larger, but fortunately they were simple to suture and bandage.
Zhu Cihong looked at the operation of a medical soldier, and saw that he first used boiling water to repeatedly clean the wounds around the wounds, then soaked some with clean cotton, constantly wiped the blood clots from the wounds, and then sutured and bandaged.
These alcohols are purified from liquor, and most of the wounded soldiers are not life-threatening as long as they are disinfected.
Although cotton and alcohol are expensive, they are insignificant compared to the lives of the soldiers of the Tianwu Army.
The medical level of the Ming Dynasty was still quite high, but many people selectively forgot about it.
In 1974, the archaeological team found an ancient tomb of the Ming Dynasty in Jiangyin, Jiangsu, and unearthed a set of surgical instruments, including an iron lancet, which is a surgical scalpel, which is very similar to a modern medical scalpel, in addition, there are flat-edged knives, tweezers, scissors and other surgical instruments, indicating that surgery has been widely used in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Cihong walked through the various medical tents one by one, and stopped from time to time to say a few words of condolences, and some of the wounded sergeants saw the crown prince visiting, and everyone had a look of reverence on their faces, as if they had forgotten the pain.
Looking at the injured soldiers of the Tianwu Army in front of him, Zhu Cihong decided to set up a sanatorium hospital soon to give the injured soldiers a good environment to recuperate.
Out of the temporary occupied hospital, Gao Qiqian came up tightly and said, "Your Highness, the good news is ........"
Yang Sichang also said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the Tianwu Army is outstanding, it is easy to make a big move, and it is better to attract jealousy, it is better to ......"
Zhu Cihong said lightly: "There are still 3,000 Tartars stationed in Gaoyang City thirty miles away, if you want military merits, you won't take it yourself, right?" ”
After speaking, Zhu Cihong walked away with his hands in his hands, leaving only a few people who stared at each other.
After walking for a while, Lu Xiangsheng said: "The weight of these people in the court is not light, and they also represent half of the forces in the north of the Ming Dynasty, does Your Highness really not plan to make it convenient for them?" ”
Zhu Cihong said coldly: "I dare to ask for credit when I escaped, this palace has never seen such a brazen person!" ”
Zhu Cihong said again: "Even if they represent the entire northern forces of the Ming Dynasty? In my eyes, they are nothing more than moths to be killed! ”
