After coming out of the field hospital, Xu Zixian also looked solemn.

The smell inside was unpleasant, full of an indescribable feeling, which was quite unfavorable to Xu Zixian's body.

Wang Xinyuan tried his best to persuade Xu Zixian not to go in, but it was in vain, after two days, according to Xu Zixian's habit, he had to visit the injured soldiers.

More than 170 people were seriously wounded, and more than 700 were lightly wounded, and this minor injury was not a minor injury such as a scrape or scratch, but a severed finger, a bloody hole in the body, or a throwing weapon of the enemy.

Or a broken lower leg or a broken arm.

This is a minor injury.

As long as it will be raised for a few days, it will basically return to normal, which is considered a minor injury.

Nearly 1,000 soldiers were wounded, and nearly 200 had a low-grade or high-fever fever, and their wounds were bandaged but it was difficult for them to fully recover or heal.

Someone had an overflow in his stomach and had to cut off a section of the skin on his abdomen and sew up the skin on his abdomen to survive the fever before he escaped his life. However, after that, I could not do heavy work, and I would have abdominal pain when I exercised a little, which was an unsolvable pain in this era.

And those who have their thighs amputated or their arms cut off are prone to severe inflammation and persistent high fever.

In the hospital, I learned that all parts of people's bodies can be injured, and some people were shot in the eye and became half-blind. Someone was stabbed in the throat and could no longer speak after the stitches.

Someone's entire face was split apart, and the shape was extremely horrible.

Some people have broken hands, some people have broken feet, and some people have broken intestines.

Here, Xu Zixian's face is solemn, he will not pretend to be smiling, because he can empathize, and the soldiers will not ask him to disguise.

At the height of the battle, Nan Anhou also rushed to the front line with his sword, which was enough.

With this kind of experience, he is the most trusted commander of the soldiers, and he is also qualified to say that he is grateful to the princes for their hard fighting, and there is a great victory for our army.

All those who were seriously injured and disabled were of course raised by the Nan'an Hou Mansion after that.

"The squad officers and sentry officers in the garrison, the military training officers of hundreds of households, the recruitment officers, or the sheriffs, etc., or the officials in the various rooms, divisions, and Cao, you guys, wait for a good life."

After hearing Nan Anhou's words, although they knew that it was inevitable, the seriously injured people present were still a lot more relieved.

"Your performance in the formation will be confirmed by the team officers on a case-by-case basis. If you get a medal, you will have more rewards. I will not chill the soldiers, and everyone will be taken care of. ”

This is not the first time Xu Zixian has done such a thing, and everyone has great trust in him.

Even if it is a seriously injured and dying soldier, he is full of admiration and admiration for Nan'anhou, and there is no person who is depressed and ignores him, in this era, Xu Zixian is a big man with high status and noble blood, and he has not been beaten to the dust, and people are full of awe of him, especially the people on the Eastern Domain, whose respect and trust for Xu Zixian are already seared in their bones.

Xu Zixian himself was a little depressed, and after every big battle, he always had his own familiar name and face, which completely disappeared from the government army.

Whether he died in battle or was transferred to civilian office, it was difficult for the chief general to accept that his loyal and brave subordinates were forced to leave.

At the fortification, the people have begun to fill in the trenches and remove the wooden fences, but in the short term they will keep the arrow towers and some antlers to keep the blockade of horses, after all, there are still many pirates on the island, and the island will maintain a relatively low level of security until most of the fleeing pirates are eliminated.

At the same time, Li Yi and others have ordered the officials to proclaim among the people that some pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks will be slaughtered on the island in the next few days, and at the same time, they will be ordered to shoot more wild animals to replenish meat for all the people who participated in the war.

In addition, whether they have shot arrows, helped carry corpses, dug pits, or hunted down fleeing bandits, after completing the task, each person will be rewarded with two pieces of money.

For ordinary people, two pieces of money are already considered a generous reward, plus these days food is provided by the officials, under the threat of pirates, people are terrified, now that their wives and children are placed in a safe place, and the strong men have officials to eat, and their wives and children are also taken care of, those who participate in the war, and there is an extra reward, what else can they hope for?

There was a thunderous sound of joy for a while, and the long base of more than ten miles was full of laughing crowds.

For the officers and men of the government army, in addition to their comrades who were seriously injured or killed in battle, they were also infected by this joyful atmosphere.

In any case, what could be more exciting and proud of the soldiers than the fact that the government army defeated a strong enemy, won a very high honor, defeated a strong enemy, defended the homeland, and defended the relatives who lived in their hometowns?

Some of the non-commissioned officers on the shift did not rush into the tent to rest, and they wandered for a long time in the forts, in the wilderness, on the seaside, and on the battlefield.

Many people have strange expressions on their faces, ranging from pride and excitement to regret, panic, and sadness.

The large plain from the beach to the long base was still quite bloody, and even some buildings on the north and south sides were there, and many of the factories were hiding from pirates, where they were shot or beheaded, there were arrow holes in the walls, blood on the ground, and some of the masonry buildings were somewhat damaged.

The docks were the same, there was blood everywhere, and the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield were still picking up weapons discarded by pirates, as well as piercing and chain mail stripped from corpses, and leather armor.

Pirates did not have cotton armor, but there were also a lot of bits and pieces of amulet, leather belts, leather bracers, iron gloves, etc.

A large number of knives, guns and clubs, as well as bows and arrows, arrows, and throwing spears, were picked up from the spot.

These weapons were handed over directly to the arsenal of the government army in good condition, and there were military officials responsible for counting and storing them, but the government army basically did not use these foreign non-standard weapons, which were of different lengths and too mixed, which was not conducive to the development of the military array. It is a foot bow, and the government army only uses the Dawei standard foot bow, and the manufacturing process and strength, size, are basically the same, and the heavy arrow is a shovel type, which can break human bones at close range. The light arrow triangle is also an armor-piercing arrow, and at a distance of about fifty paces, a light arrow is enough to break through the armor and die.

Most of these weapons will be issued to the guards and each hundred households for training, and they will be used in future drills and training, but they are probably also used with long guns, spears, shields, short knives, bows and arrows and spears as long-range killing, and at close range, they are centered with long guns, and the knives are in front or on the flanks.

If it is damaged, it will be handed over to the military weapons of the general department to be repaired, and the standard weapons will be retained, and the non-standard weapons will be issued.

If there are too many weapons, you can also consider selling them, but for the time being, they are still far from enough.

In addition, it is to melt iron that is badly damaged and difficult to repair, and the island is now quite short of iron.

The armor is repaired by the cane Cao, and after it is repaired, it is issued to the soldiers of the government to wear.

There were many holes in Qin Dongyang's iron scale armor, and after Xu Zi saw it first, he said: "It seems that this battle is really dangerous, and Brother Qin's armor is also damaged in many places." ”

Qin Dongyang said with a calm face: "Compared with the soldiers without armor, we are very lucky. ”

Xu Zixian sighed and said, "The soldier has no armor, it's my fault, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

The generals gathered around at this time, all of them were calm, but listening to Xu Zixian's words, Jin hugged him: "The prince has done everything for us, and everything can't be successful all at once." If the thieves come after half a year, I am afraid that we will kill them even worse. ”

Xu Zixian laughed, and his depressed thoughts eased a little.

Behind the long base, there are dozens of tents on the other side of the hospital, which are filled with the bodies of fallen soldiers.

The government army was indomitable, the former died and the latter followed, and while rushing into thick formation, many soldiers were killed directly in contact with the enemy.

This is also the saddest place for Xu Zixian, you must know that they are all veteran soldiers and team officers, sentry officers, and even the first level to stand at the forefront.

Those warriors may have been with each other since the Battle of Stone Bridge, this time the battle can be described as a life-and-death battle in the Eastern Domain, so the generals will sacrifice their lives to fight the enemy, after winning this battle, the number of casualties is worth it, but no matter what, Xu Zixian can't help but feel sad for it.

In addition to the vanguard rushing to death, the soldiers of the fighters were also the most killed and injured when they were attacked by the left wing bandits. Because they were flanked and behind when they were attacked, most of them were soldiers with no armor or light armor, and under the attack of bows and arrows, long knives and spears, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

This is also the reason why the killing is very miserable, in addition to more than 170 wounded soldiers, more than 410 people have been killed, and more than 500 people will completely leave the army, which is simply the death of a warrior, and it is also the death of Xu Zixian, the Marquis of Nan'an.

Xu Zixian was silent for a while, treating the wounded, many craftsmen are building wooden coffins, will hold funerals for the fallen soldiers, now many military officials are looking for the families of the fallen soldiers, I believe that there are many on the island, if not on the island, also send someone to pick it up, the weather is hot, the burial period after the coffin can not exceed seven days, the time is very urgent.

When the generals were standing surrounded by Xu Zixian, Li Pu rushed to the horse, and there was also a big soldier behind him, who ran with him.

Li Pu was injured when he broke the formation, and his arm was still hanging diagonally on his chest at this time, seeing that he was still going to salute, Xu Zixian hurriedly said: "Don't salute, you have something important to say?" ”

Li Pu didn't care about his injuries at all, and said with excitement on his face: "Junhou, there is still a lot of gain this time...... Lu Wenluo, hurry up and follow. ”

The elder soldier had already gone to his armor, wearing only a short gray robe, which was also torn in many places, and his body was bandaged in many places, and he was obviously injured a lot.

Xu Zixian was quite moved, and praised: "What a man, the wounds on his body are all on his chest, he is a sharp man who breaks the formation, right?" ”

"It's the sharps of the first battalion." Li Pu said: "Always rush to the front." ”

"Very good." Xu Zixian strode to Ge Cunzhong's side, untied the water bladder from his waist, threw it to Lu Wenluo, and said with a smile: "Strong man, I will reward you with a bag of wine to drink first." ”

Lu Wenluo untied the water bladder, and sure enough, he smelled the smell of wine, and the government army could adapt to all kinds of military regulations, the only thing that was not suitable was the very strict prohibition of alcohol.

After getting the wine, Lu Wenluo was really unexpected, and he was even happier than rewarding him with two dollars.

This guy is also bold, and he is drinking with his neck up at the moment, although the action is big, but there is no trickle left to drink.

Ge Cunzhong was still a little embarrassed when he was found out of the wine, and he couldn't help but clap his hands at this time and said: "It's a good dog day, come to our second army, you have to drink the wine." ”

Qin Dongyang said with a straight face: "Lu Wenluo has made great contributions, of course he has to stay in the First Army, there is no need to discuss." ”

Li Pu smiled: "Ge Ye really hides wine...... Liu Junzhu must also have ...... on him Lu Wenluo has made a great contribution. As he spoke, he turned his head to Lu Wenluo and said, "Don't drink it, take out the head." ”

Lu Wenluo had a head pinned to the back of his buttocks, he cut it off the day before yesterday, and then he was ordered to search for criminals, and he was busy so far before he had a rotational break, so he remembered to report to Shangguan that he had beheaded the head of a big thief, and then Li Pu knew about it, and ordered the prisoner in the pirate to confirm, and then he knew that the head of Yan Qi was cut off in front of him!

The previous heads, of course, were also identified by the group of thieves, and there were no heads of Yan Qi and Liu Dan, everyone thought that Liu Dan and Yan Qi had either run away, or they might be among the fleeing group of thieves, who knew that Yan Qi had been killed?

Jin Baoyi looked out to sea, where a large number of pirate ships were still moored in the offshore area, untouched, and he smiled: "I know why they have not destroyed the ship and refused to leave." Yan Qi's head was beheaded, no one may know, it may be necessary to wait for him or Liu Dan to go back, and escape from the people, if there is Liu Dan, this fun will be too great. These two bandit forces have been defeated by us in one battle. ”

Everyone is excited, it is true, if Liu Dan also dies, the two thieves in Luzon will really be completely destroyed, even if the group of thieves returns with ships, most of them are empty ships, and even the ships have no way to bring them back, and most of the power is reduced.

The head of the group of thieves, some of them are stormy, some are pure luck, and some are like raising Gu, and they have to keep fighting before the thieves appear.

At this time, how could the Nan'an Hou Mansion tolerate another character like a second thief?

Wang Zhi is attached, Kang Tianqi is not enterprising, and he guards the territory of the Wa Kingdom, Pu Xingfeng can't get out of the battlefield of the Three Buddhas, so that the five pirates at sea who are famous and stir up the storm for a while, except for Pu Xingfeng alone, have disappeared like this?

"Don't be too optimistic." Xu Zi looked at Yan Qi's head for a while, Lu Wenluo, a long-haired savage, actually hung this hideous-looking and already stenching head on the leather belt around his waist for two days? What a savage. He was angry and funny, and said: "Send Yan Qi's head to Fuzhou, they will also recognize it, Yan Qi was seen by many people when he invaded Zhangzhou, and someone will confirm it." As for Liu Dan, I know that this person's style is different from Yan Qi's, and when he sees that the battlefield situation is not right, what he thinks about is not to win, but to protect himself. The person will manage to slip away and the chances of being trapped or killed are unlikely. ”

Xu Zixian looked at the sea again, shook his head and said: "They have been hesitating for the past two days, they may really be waiting for Yan Qi, but after waiting for two days, they will no longer have patience, and they will destroy some ships tomorrow, it is estimated that they will stay in one place and set fire to them with small boats." ”

Qin Dongyang said: "In the past few days, the soldiers have observed day and night, and found that the pirate fleet has increased, and it seems that after the defeat here, some pirates from Penghu have also come over. ”

"What's the use of them here?" Xu Zixian smiled and said, "The main force of the brigade has been defeated, what is the matter with one or two thousand people?" It's just that I lost my command and panicked up and down, so I don't need to pay attention to it. ”

At this time, Xu Zixian looked at Lu Wenluo again, remembered that this person's name was familiar, thought about it, and said: "I remember that it was a team of soldiers on vacation who sent Mr. Wang to the Eastern Domain, and the leader of the team was called Lu Wenluo, isn't it you?" ”

"It's a subordinate." Lu Wenluo had a happy look on his face, and this expression was revealed on his bearded face, which was really quite joyful.

Lu Wenluo said: "The subordinates beheaded Yan Qi, as a sharp soldier, he was stubborn and stubborn, and made great achievements, but he was not as good as his subordinates escorting Mr. Wang to the Eastern Domain, curing the illness of the prince and the marquis, and making his subordinates and others happy." ”

"I know what you want." Xu Zixian felt a wave of emotion in his heart.

These rough men, if you are hypocritical, they will perfunctory you at most, and when it is really time to ask someone to serve you, you may hesitate to look around, and you can't find a subordinate who is willing to take responsibility.

And as long as you are sincere to them, really full of trust in them, arrange their lives properly, and truly be responsible for them and their families, then these simple men will also take it for granted that they will abandon their heads and lives for the Lord.

Now is not the future generations, and the people of the future generations may not take the responsibility of the superior seriously, just as a natural reward for their own efforts, and the relationship between the lord and his subordinates entrusted with his life only exists in the present era, or in the turbulent times before it.

And after Huaxia was ruled by the Hu people, the order collapsed, civilization regressed, and there was no shortage of things to promote Mien, fight Mi and revenge, and take revenge.

At this time, the beautiful creed of simplicity, heaviness, and kindness and righteousness is still trusted, and the lord can trust his subordinates, and the subordinates of course also trust and support the lord who is responsible for himself.

"Lu Jun has two major achievements, one is to send Mr. Wang to the Eastern Domain, which is my personal merit, and I should be grateful. The second is to behead Yan Qi, frustrate the pirate's spirit, and should be the first merit for this battle. Xu Zixian said to Qin Dongyang and the others: "The next step is to calculate merit, and the Hou Mansion will reward the soldiers without delay." ”

This is also the purpose of the Nan'an Hou Mansion, the soldiers to make meritorious service, they have to start the first time after the war, the officers are responsible for statistics, the military and political and military law personnel are responsible for the review and review, will also listen to the opinions of the soldiers themselves, and finally form a resolution, some of the merits are enough, you can enter the martial arts school, become the reserve of officers.

Some were promoted to team leaders, sentry officers, and waited for more seniority to become official military attaché reserves.

Some are not suitable to be military attachés, or even team leaders, so they will be given medals, which will be quite useful when they are transferred to other positions in the future.

In addition, there is a fixed process for giving wine and meat, and giving vacation.

For a great achievement like Lu Wenluo, at least a hundred times should be rewarded, and the other rewards should not be less.

Qin Dongyang hugged his fists and saluted, turned to Kong He and said, "Everything still needs to have Brother Lao Kong." ”

Kong He Zhengse said: "It is right, in the matter, the soldiers should be rewarded for killing the enemy with bows and arrows and throwing blood." ”

Everyone nodded slightly, Kong He is a big housekeeper in terms of money, usually he is really a baht, and even the Hou Mansion will be restrained by Kong He, anyway, he knows that Xu Zi has a private house first, so the public account expenses, sometimes for a long time, the little sister is very dissatisfied, and Kong He also ignores it.

Such a great steward is much more conscientious than the bookkeeper of the average wealthy family, and all the income and expenditure of the island are clear and orderly, and there is no room for waste.

And when it comes to rewarding soldiers, Kong He will never be in arrears, and each soldier will get his own reward in the fastest time.

The Eastern Domain was preserved, and the morale of the army could not fall, and these civil and military officials recruited by Xu Zixian, as well as the various officials on the island, the garrison, and the implementation and setting of various settlements, all formed a joint force.

"There is no need to rush to cancel the evacuation points for the time being." Li Yi said to everyone: "There are still many pirates on the coast who are trying to escape into the sea, and some of them have fled inland, and they have to be searched for at least three to five days, and it is determined that there are no large groups of bandits with more than ten people gathered, and then the evacuation point can almost be revoked and all the people can be escorted back." ”

Fu Qian nodded, and said: "In Taichung, not only is it evacuation, but also the responsibility of exploring iron ore and coal mines, and it has not disappeared yet, so I don't know how." ”

Xu Zixian knew that there was a mine over there, but he just wanted to determine the location of the shallow ore vein to be mined, and at the same time explore and determine the road, and use the most labor-saving method to choose a suitable place in Taichung to build a port.

From Tainan to Taichung, although it is only more than 300 miles, and the nearest training and rest point is only 150 or 60 miles, it is mostly hills, tidal flats, shrubs and thorns, and many places are cut out with knives.

Historically, when Taiwan was developed, Fujian residents first went to Tainan, and only after more than ten or twenty years did people successively sail to Taichung and Taipei, reclaim wasteland and indigenous community land, and gradually settle down, with a population of one million in a few decades, and the establishment of three governments and one state, Taiwan's development was only successful so far.

Xu Zixian didn't have so much time to wait, the Jianzhou Rebellion affected Tingzhou, and Fujian Iron was already cutting production by jumping off a cliff, so it was really time to wait.

The iron ore of the Eastern Domain is relatively inferior, the reserves are small, and the ore quality is poor, but the iron quality can be improved by many advanced methods to make iron from coking coal.

Under the premise of concentrating forces, it is not difficult for Taichung to select a site, open mines, transport ores, set up blast furnaces, smelt refined iron, and manufacture iron tools.

The difficulty is transportation, fortunately, the Eastern Domain is surrounded by the sea, and it is a little difficult for Taichung to develop like Tainan on the shore, but it is difficult to set up a port, transport iron tools and personnel, and slowly develop into a market town and city, and in three or five years, it will almost be effective.

The place where the imperial court had not been able to develop in the previous hundred years, in fact, with careful research and more effort, the development of this island was much faster than that of the inland.

This is to rely on the trade profits of the Age of Discovery, if there were also Wu troops to the Eastern Domain during the Eastern Wu Dynasty, it was really uneconomical to develop this large island at that time.

Even in the Tang Dynasty, even Jinghu two roads, Hunan and Hubei still have a large amount of undeveloped land, Jingman's economy is backward, the population is sparse, it is the Song Dynasty has been constantly immigrating to the two lakes to develop, to the Ming Dynasty Jinghu is the grain depot of China, grain production even more than the Jiangnan region, the Great Wei also developed the two lakes, but so far, that is, there is no shortage of grain.

Xu Zixian set his eyes on the sea again, and it was still a piece of sailboats, giving people a heavy sense of oppression, which diluted the joy that everything went well in the Eastern Domain.

In this era, only those who master the sea are worthy of being called kings, and Xu Zixian's understanding of this is far more than ordinary people, and even the Son of Heaven or high-ranking officials of the two governments.

Maybe there will be some scholars in Liangguang, Fujian and Zhejiang, who also have a certain understanding of this, but they will not think that this era is a period when the strength of the country will set the tone in the next 300 years.

The Nan'an Fu army can win against these brutes a hundred times on land, and even after the government army completed the expansion of the army a year ago, Pu Xingfeng is not afraid when it comes, and it can fight a dozen.

But the sea has always been the enemy's world, the Nan'an Navy Division is too weak, like a newly unearthed seedling, this time the overall battle plan, Xu Zixian did not consider the Navy Division to fight at all, it is just a little bit of family background, and there will be no more if it is gone.

These words, but there is no need to talk to the officials and soldiers after the big victory, Xu Zixian can only hide his worries deep in his heart.
