Chapter 1350: Post-War Pension
In fact, the Cossack cavalry sent out by Marin almost caught up with the party of Charles, Count of Gelldon. It's just that, unfortunately, because of the time, it was dark, and the pursuit suddenly became difficult. Then, Charlie, Earl of Geldon, and his five most trusted guards took advantage of the darkness of night and managed to escape.
As for Marin, there's a lot to do. After all, there are many casualties in this war, and Marin needs to clean up the aftermath. The battle was fought fiercely because of the mutual shelling and musket fire with the opponents. Not to mention the casualties of the enemy, there were more than 400 people killed and wounded by the enemy's artillery on the Beihai side alone. This is still the situation where the opponent's artillery is suppressed, and if the opponent's artillery cannot be suppressed, it is estimated that there will be more casualties.
The most terrible thing is that the damage caused by the shelling is extremely high. Anyone who was hit by a shell either died directly or was severely disabled. Those who pass by the shells, if they survive, will lose their arms and legs or something. In short, none of the more than 400 dead and wounded from the shelling, and the more than 200 wounded, will have a chance to return to the battlefield.
The number of wounded from the musket was even greater, more than 800 people. However, the musket fire was much less severe than the shelling. Nearly half of the dead and wounded as a result of the shelling. And the casualties caused by the fire of the muskets, only a little more than a hundred people died.
However, a person who is hit by a lead bullet is much more terrifying than a knife and an arrow. As long as the wound is cleaned with alcohol, and then smeared with some improved Jinchuang medicine (that is, the ancient Jinchuang medicine has been strictly disinfected, so that the probability of inflammation of the wound is greatly reduced), the possibility of recovery is still very large. In addition, Marin also asked the military doctor to use a lot of honeysuckle and Tianqi brought back from the Ming Dynasty as low-level anti-inflammatory drugs. Honeysuckle is used to clear blood toxins and has a certain effect on the treatment of bleeding injuries. Not to mention Tian Qi, that is the main medicine of Yunnan Baiyao.
However, it was an ordinary sword wound. As for the damage of lead bullets, it is more difficult to treat. Because spherical lead bullets tend to stir up flesh and blood after entering the body, the damage is very large. Fortunately, under the guidance of Ma Lin, the military doctor of Beihai State made a crude sheep intestine and a simple suture technique, and the trauma problem was not big.
The most difficult thing to deal with is probably the split of the lead bullet in the body. If the spherical lead bullet is shot into the human body and hits the soft flesh, that's fine. If it's a big deal, take out the lead bullet, clean the wound, and then stitch it up. But if buckshot hits the bone, it's terrible......
Lead bullets are relatively soft, and after hitting the bone, they tend to split into several pieces. Then, the lead bullet is scattered in the body and is difficult to remove. In addition, lead bullet is soft, but it is also metal, and it is very dense. If you hit a bone, it will not only spread out, but it will also break the bone and even contain bone slag. These bone residues are scattered throughout the body and are extremely difficult to remove.
Therefore, the seven or eight hundred soldiers who were hit by lead bullets, although not as terrible as the damage of solid shells, can be completely cured in the end, I am afraid that less than half of them can be completely cured. The other half of them will inevitably be disabled or sick, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to return to the battlefield in the future......
In addition, more than 900 infantry received ordinary sword wounds, but the problem was not significant, and only a few dozen people died. Most of the injured can be saved.
This was a casualty on the infantry side, and as for the cavalry, the black-shirted knights had little access to the internet. And the Cossacks, the main casualties were the 300 cavalry who took the initiative to ram into the enemy and fell off their horses when they were desperate.
Half of the 300 fallen horsemen were trampled to death on the spot by enemy or friendly horses. The other half of the people, there are also 60 people who have broken their arms and legs or something, and they are afraid that they will be disabled in the future. I am afraid that only about 90 people can recover......
In addition to these 300 casualties, more than 70 other Cossack cavalry were killed or dismounted and wounded in combat......
……
In other words, in this tragic decisive battle, the infantry of the Beihai State suffered about 2,500 casualties, and the battle losses exceeded 10%. If the average army loses more than 10% of the battle, it is estimated that it will collapse. That is, the First Army and the Second Army of the Beihai State are basically veterans of more than ten years, so they can hold on and achieve a brilliant victory.
However, Marin is distressed - that's a 10-year veteran! Everybody's a baby!
If the recruits had suffered more than 2,000 casualties, Marin would not have been so distressed. But those veterans who have been more than ten years have suffered so many casualties, when Marin heard the report, he was so sad that he almost shed tears......
After all, no matter how bad a soldier is, after ten years of training, he can become an elite. After ten years of training, each of them has the ability to serve as a recruit instructor. Death is a great loss.
Marin suddenly understood why, when he took the war, he would directly pull the musketeers who had been trained for two weeks to the battlefield as cannon fodder - because it was not distressing to die......
Marin was really distressed and burst into tears, and he couldn't help but cry as he comforted the wounded soldiers......
But unexpectedly, Marin's distressed tears were misunderstood by the injured soldiers as "caring for his soldiers". As a result, many wounded soldiers were moved to cry and felt that it was worth dying for Marin......
……
Of course, Marin didn't disappoint them. He announced on the spot that all the families of the soldiers who died in the war would be supported by the state. Parents are supported by the state for the elderly, and the children are not only raised to adulthood, but also provide them with education, and when they grow up, they will also give priority to errands......
This favorable condition made many wounded people cry with excitement, saying that they would die without regrets. Moreover, there were really dozens of seriously wounded, who died with a smile on their faces......
But in fact, in this era, it does not cost much to feed the families of the deceased, as long as enough food is provided, and then several sets of clothes are issued every year. At most, plus a reimbursement for medical treatment. As for the issue of children going to school, it is not a big deal. Because, Marin originally intended to promote compulsory education, which was purely incidental......
……
This is the old 1st and 2nd corps of Marin (no one of the infantry of the 3rd corps was killed, only a few dozen wounded), and for the casualties of the Cossack cavalry, Marin has mixed feelings......
Why? Strictly speaking, the Cossacks were basically new recruits. Moreover, most of the Ukrainian Cossacks, Marin never considered them his own.
Therefore, for the more than seventy Ukrainian Cossacks who were killed and wounded in the dogfight, Marin did not feel anything. It was the 300 German Cossacks who did not want to crash into the enemy's war horses that made Marin very moved.
So, after pacifying the First and Second Legions, Marin personally visited the more than 100 survivors of the 300 warriors who dared to charge the enemy suicidly.
In order to set an example and encourage those who came after him to continue to work for him, Marin squeezed out tears and personally paid tribute to the dead among the 300 warriors. Moreover, Marin also personally ordered that the 300 warriors be commended as "the three hundred warriors of Sparta in the North Sea Country".
And that's not all, Marin also appointed Kaultz, the surviving officer of the three hundred warriors, as the commander of the cavalry regiment on the spot, and personally awarded the nickname - "Spartan Warrior Regiment".
When Marin personally handed over the banner of the improvised "Spartan Warriors" to Kaulz, the other Beihai soldiers on the side showed strong envy in their eyes. Because, this glory of warriors, in Europe in this era, is very glorious. And Kaltz, after taking the flag, also swore loudly - next time I will lead the suicidal charge......
Marin suddenly had 10,000 MMPs to say in his heart - I raised you to let others know that it was good to die for me, and I wanted to set you as a benchmark. You said that the next time you take the lead in a suicide charge, if you die, doesn't it mean that the benchmark I set has fallen? Therefore, next time I can't send you to charge, I won't send it, lest you be taken away in a wave......
As for the more than 70 dead and wounded of the Ukrainian Cossacks, Marin did not feel anything. However, in order to appease those Ukrainian Cossacks, Marin still gave the same compensatory treatment as the infantrymen. At the same time, Marin promised that the state would reimburse the spirits of the men in the family after the dead and those who were discharged from the army due to injuries......
Then, the wounded Ukrainian Cossacks with strange brain circuits actually lay on stretchers and cheered for drinking liquor for free in the future (they thought that after being injured and retired, they would no longer be able to enjoy the treatment of a small bottle and two pots a day)......
In this way, Marin promised all kinds of preferential treatment that was not preferential treatment, and solved the problem of the soldiers' pensions......
