Chapter 116: Return to the Old Land (I)
Although the Ming army finally occupied the battlefield, so that a large number of wounded of the Qing army were under control, and then achieved brilliant results, the Ming army itself suffered a lot of losses, especially the towns on the right flank.
The temporary wounded and sick house was already overcrowded, and after several great victories, Zheng Chenggong gradually ignored the casualties, and at this moment, seeing many wounded soldiers, he also began to feel a trace of regret for not bringing the ambulances that Shen Yanqi brought out in the center and left.
Fortunately, the idea of ambulance is not complicated, and it has been more than a year since the battle of the Central Left Station last year, and many officers and non-commissioned officers, especially those who have returned from injury, are no strangers to it. While taking care of it here, he sent troops to bring back all the Lang Zhong who could be found in the left near to the army, and over there, with the sea, he transferred all the real professionals as quickly as possible, and Zheng Chenggong's mind was already thinking about the restructuring of the ambulance soldiers.
The order crossed the sea and reached the center and left. In recent years, Shen Yanqi has devoted all his energy to medicine, especially after the First World War of the Center-Left Institute, he also believes that it should be a part of medicine after he has a detailed understanding and comprehension of ambulance. After all, this is also a cure for the sick and save people.
For this reason, after the war, he applied to Zheng Chenggong to leave the establishment of the ambulance team and carried out strict training. In the process of training, he is also constantly supplementing the relevant systems, but the more he adds and improves, the more he feels that this work is more about the improvement and effective implementation of the system, rather than how deep the understanding of medicine these ambulance workers should have.
Shen Yanqi was intoxicated by this, this was sent by Zheng Chenggong's order, and he also hurriedly organized people, and only got the personnel and equipment on the ship in less than two hours, and by the way, he also asked Hong Xu to collect some Langzhong. At the moment, the efficiency is very high, one is driven by the sense of mission to cure the disease and save people, and the other is not lacking in the desire to apply what you have learned. At least, doing such things every day, Shen Yan's sense of satisfaction is very full, even more meaningful than the imperial examination.
Here, the ambulance team has already boarded the boat, and Nie Yiniang is still waiting by the dock. Not long ago, Feng San, Liu Rong and several of them in Guangzhou wrote a letter to her, saying that they planned to advise Chen Kai to form an ambulance team in Chaozhou, and hoped that Nie Yiniang could come over and work hard with everyone to return to Guangzhou.
Chen Kai said in the declaration of Chaozhou that he would recover Guangzhou within three years. There were five years of Pingliao in the past, and now there are three years of re-Guangzhou, which seems to be a big talk, but Nie Yiniang still believes that Chen Kai can do it. This trust even seems a little blind.
Soon, Chen Kai sent a letter to Shen Yanqi, and Shen Yanqi did not hesitate to send a few people out, including Nie Yiniang, who took the initiative to invite Ying, and a few people from Guangzhou, who also had this plan. At the moment, they are waiting for the official ship on the Chaozhou side, and the official ship will take them back to Chaozhou. And when they get there, they should be used as the backbone to train more ambulance soldiers and treat more wounded soldiers.
The boat arrived soon, and it was not much worse than those who rushed to Quanzhou. The group boarded the boat and rocked in the bumps for a few days, and when they got off the boat, it was already Nanao Island. This is a transit point where they will continue their trip after a day of rest. At this time, Chen Kai, who had recruited them, was smiling at the detailed report on the Battle of Zhongcuo.
"Lo and behold, the main losses of the Tartars are on the three Green Battalions. Fujian Admiral Yang Minggao, I remember that last year, Xiaoyingling was wiped out by Wang Shi in the first battle, and this time it was almost wiped out, this is the second palace, haha......"
"I remember passing by Jinhua, but I have seen Ma Jinbao's ability to collect money, even if I haven't seen the deity, but none of his subordinates are good at stubble. Now it's good, Ma Jinbao has become a horse scattered wealth, and almost all of his weapons, baggage, grain and grass, and troops have been lost. Well, it's good that he didn't lose himself......"
"And that blessing, hmph, can you have a good end if you are a second or five boys? Phew! This time, Jin Li used you as a backing, and next time you don't get it right, you'll have to take the blame. ”
Chen Kai laughed, but the generals present looked at each other. Before he could do so, a voice asked "What is Erwuzai", but Chen Kai was stunned.
In the Yamen of the branch guard road in the city of Chaozhou Prefecture, Chen Kai sent people to summon the main generals of the Ming army on the two lines of Sanheba and Lufeng in the north and south while Zheng Chenggong fought fiercely in Zhongcuo. At this moment, the meeting is already the second day, many topics have ended, and after receiving the good news, Chen Kai read it out in public, and the morale of the generals was even more boosted. In the face of the Han army flag, it was able to repel it in a battle, although the main losses of the Qing army were still borne by the green battalion soldiers, but with this victory, it seemed to see the hope of the future, just like the great victory in Guilin that came not long ago.
Speaking of which, there is an element of Kong Youde being too big in Guilin's victory, even in this battle, Jin Li also brought a group of not very powerful green battalions to fight. Because the Qing army absorbed a large number of former Ming troops and former rogues with rich combat experience at the beginning of its entry into the customs, its combat effectiveness was indeed superior to that of the Ming army both as a whole and on average. For example, the Southwest Ming Army with the Great Western Army as the main body, that is the atmosphere of today, which is only after Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo relied on the foundation of the Great Western Army to recuperate in Yunnan for a long time; For example, Zheng Chenggong's department also has today's strength with the help of the nourishment of sea trade profits.
However, with such a victory, it will still be of great benefit to future wars. Not only did it preserve the results of the great advance on the battlefield in southern Fujian for most of the year, but also gained a large number of experienced soldiers, whether it was the soldiers and horses of the headquarters or the prisoners, it also re-established the self-confidence of the Ming army, which is particularly important.
The joke of "Erwuzai" was quickly understood by the generals, and the contempt for traitors was not divided into provinces. Thinking of this, Chen Kai couldn't help laughing, in his words, at this time, Jin Li was probably scolding the street - brought a group of pig teammates into battle, even if they were not sincere in trying to pit him, but this disadvantage in combat effectiveness still dragged him back, otherwise if he brought more than 10,000 Eight Banners Army, it is estimated that Zheng Chenggong would return to the liberation overnight.
"When Hong Chengchou watched Wu Sangui and Wang Pu go away, and watched the Qin army launch a decisive blow to the Tartars, he estimated that he would have similar reveries, right?"
When he said this, even if there was a burst of laughter. It's not that he was heartless in the first battle of Jinzhou, but more because he didn't despise Hong Chengchou. But after laughing, Chen Kai also expressed some opinions on the future war situation, such as the Fujian battlefield is about to enter a stage of stalemate, at least there will be no more large-scale battles in the second half of the year; For another example, the Fujian battlefield is about to be dumbfounded, so what should the Guangdong battlefield do?
"This year, Geng Jimao ran into a wall in front of our fortress, and Kong Youde also died in Guilin, but Shang Kexi has been a little comfortable recently. I, Chen Kai, have always been a kind person, and when I should add a little disgust to him, I must deliver it to my door. ”
