Chapter 19: A Thousand Golden Horse Bones
(No more gossip, write according to my ideas, and present it on the third watch today!) )
Walking in the cottage, there is a busy scene everywhere, the sound of the blacksmith's workshop has fallen silent at this time, and the furnace is still warm, but all kinds of tools and iron materials have been packed up by the blacksmiths and loaded on the cart.
And the carpenter's workshop, is still busy, twenty or thirty carpenters are still in the final inspection of the cart that is about to travel with the army, and keep repairing some vehicles, but now it seems that it is not far from completion, in addition to the cart of livestock, they have also prepared more than 100 wheelbarrows pushed by manpower, to make up for the lack of cart capacity.
The grain in the granary has already been loaded into a cart with bags and covered with oilcloth, and it is ready to travel with only the livestock.
As for the pigs and sheep in the pigsty and sheepfold, there is not much left at this time, most of them have been killed and salted, and some of the pigs, muttons and beef were put into the kang room a few days ago and smoked into dry meat, which was loaded on the car for later consumption.
After this period of preparation, the cloth and clothes obtained by the Xingtian Army from Lijiazhuang and the official army were also made into cotton armor or cotton clothes and leggings by the women of the displaced people recruited by the soldiers, and distributed to the soldiers, and they also used the remaining part of the cloth to sew nearly 1,000 long cloth bags.
The decision to evacuate Tianlongzhai, in fact, Xiao Tianjian has already had a belly case, the reason why it has been delayed until now, in fact, the most important reason is not that he is waiting for anyone, but because this evacuation here has to do a lot of preparations, the Xingtian Army is different from the general rebel army, the ordinary rebel army will not have any material preparation at all, they are more often like a swarm of locusts, to a place to eat up a place, and then coerce the people to leave, another place to eat up a place, said to be guerrilla warfare, In fact, the fundamental reason is that they do not have the idea of operating from a base area.
And the Xingtian Army has been in the local area for more than half a year, especially after the defeat of Lijiazhuang, they obtained a large number of materials, plus some large households around, in order to show goodwill to the Xingtian Army, ask for a peace, after the fall of Lijiazhuang, took the initiative to give the Xingtian Army a lot of food, and later after the battle of the Shifo Temple, the Xingtian Army defeated the officers and soldiers sent by Fengxiang Mansion, and the surrounding various gentry forces, they did not dare to get along with the Xingtian Army, and were immediately extorted a lot of materials by the Xingtian Army.
Therefore, the Xingtian Army now has sufficient material reserves, but on the contrary, it has become a problem, they want to evacuate this place, it is not like the ordinary rebels, simply pack up the bed, pat the ass and leave, they have to clean up a lot of things, and take away what can be taken away, in case of future needs, and those that cannot be used will be scattered on the spot, which is why Xiao Tianjian was able to give Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang so many materials at once.
So soon after Lijiazhuang was breached, Xiao Tianjian had already begun to arrange for his troops to prepare for the evacuation, and now it seems that most of the preparations have been basically completed, and Xiao Tianjian gave an order, so he pulled out the camp and left this Tianlong Village.
The decision to abandon Tianlong Village and leave this place is actually a unified mind within the Xingtian Army for a long time, so when making these preparations, everyone was not panicking, so everything was carried out in an orderly manner.
In the work of preparing for the evacuation, there is also a lot of credit to Fu Deming, since the growth of the Xingtian Army, Xiao Tianjian himself has been too busy, especially for these logistical trivial matters, only Jin Fuzi and Luo Yingjie and others are a little unable to deal with it, but since Fu Deming decided to stay, Xiao Tianjian handed over some logistics matters to Fu Deming to deal with, in dealing with this aspect of affairs, Fu Deming also showed his ability, many things after his arrangement and deployment, it became simple, so with this article alone, Fu Deming has won the recognition of many people, and he no longer treats him as an outsider.
When Xiao Tianjian was inspecting, he also nodded again and again for Fu Deming's contribution in this regard, recognizing what he had done, which made Fu Deming a little proud.
In the end, they came to the medical camp of Tianlong Village together, and came here to check the preparations of Lu Rongxuan's side, the medical camp of the Xingtian Army is very different from other places, this is more like a hospital in later generations, in addition to Lu Rongxuan, a military doctor, Lu Rongxuan has also trained nearly twenty medical soldiers during this time to use as his assistants.
At the same time, in order to better take care of the wounded in the Xingtian Army, Xiao Tianjian also recruited twenty or thirty healthy women among the displaced people and handed them over to Lu Rongxuan to dispatch a special department to take care of the wounded.
The reason why Xiao Tianjian made this arrangement is mainly because women are much more careful than men in taking care of the wounded, and they used to do this at home, so they are more suitable for taking care of the wounded than men.
Since this dynasty, due to the development of etiquette and religion, the defense of men and women has reached a very strict level, although Xiao Tianjian recruited healthy women to take care of the wounded, although this practice is somewhat contrary to customs, but for these homeless women in the lone women, it is nothing, most of these women are women who have lost their husbands, originally for them, waiting for their fate is basically only a dead end, at this time the Xingtian Army recruited them to take care of the wounded, undoubtedly giving them a way to live, so they can't take care of so much worldliness, he is very attentive and takes care of the wounded quite well.
At first, some people were worried that recruiting so many women would cause a lot of trouble to the Xingtian Army, but Xiao Tianjian strictly ordered the army not to discriminate against these women, and those wounded were carefully cared for by these female nurses, and they were very grateful to them, and no one was allowed to bully these women who were kind to them, so when this matter was implemented, no one in the Xingtian Army dared to be rude to these women.
In addition, there is another reason that is not easy to say, that is, these recruited women are rough and big-footed healthy women, and they look very bad, so they can't arouse the desire of men, so far the female nurses have stayed in the medical camp safely, and after Xiao Tianjian took out a lot of money, purchased a large number of medicinal materials, and established a strict disinfection system and careful care, the mortality rate of the wounded in the Xingtianjun can be said to be a straight line down. In the case of not getting careful care, the mortality rate of the wounded can be said to be jaw-dropping, and it is probably good to have one or two of the ten wounded who can recover in the end, even if some of the wounded are only slightly injured, they can lose their lives, but here in the Xingtian Army, this situation has completely changed, not to mention the light wounded, even the mortality rate of many seriously injured will be less than one-tenth, which can be said to be impossible in other armies, but the Xingtian Army has done this.
Therefore, the soldiers and generals of the Xingtian Army dared not to be greedy for life and fear of death on the battlefield, and moved forward bravely, which played a great role in encouraging the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Xingtian Army, and even in the battle of the official army in the Shifo Temple, there were soldiers in the army who laughed with each other, saying that it was best to be injured a little, so that they could lie down in the medical camp and enjoy it.
At the same time, for these injured players who returned from injury, they were grateful for Xiao Tianjian's favor to them, and all of them completely became Xiao Tianjian's die-hard fans without exception.
Originally, when they heard the news that the Xingtianjun might abandon Tianlongzhai and leave this place in the near future, some of the seriously injured people in the medical camp who had not yet recovered were a little uneasy, but Xiao Tianjian personally went to the medical camp and told them that even if the Xingtianjun left here, they would never abandon any of them, which calmed the hearts of these people.
Today, as soon as Xiao Tianjian and Fu Deming entered the medical camp, many medical soldiers, nurses, and the wounded who were walking in the medical camp hurriedly saluted Xiao Tianjian and Fu Deming to welcome their arrival.
Xiao Tianjian was full of smiles, without any arrogance, put away his stern face on the school field on weekdays, returned the salute to these people one by one, and walked into the clean and tidy room, personally leaned over and asked the remaining few seriously injured who had not yet recovered about their injuries, and invited the medical staff to untie their bandages and personally check their wound healing.
The result of Xiao Tianjian's doing this was to make these injured people all grateful, and swore again and again that as long as they recovered from their injuries, they would return to the team immediately, and they would never be lazy here!
After leaving the ward, Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and asked the others to go about their own affairs, and walked behind Fu Deming with them.
"General! Before Xia Zai came here, he thought that he had seen the world, but after seeing the general treating these injured soldiers so kindly, he understood why the soldiers of our Xingtian Army dared to use their lives in front of the battle! In this world, a person like a general who loves soldiers like a son, this is the first time I've heard of it! Fu Deming followed Xiao Tianjian with heartfelt emotion.
Fu Deming is actually a very conceited person, but after he saw the medical camp of the Xingtian Army, he was still completely impressed by Xiao Tianjian's approach, not to mention how Xiao Tianjian cared for these wounded, just for such a medical camp, he had never heard of it once, after contacting Lu Rongxuan in private, when he heard that many of the rules of this medical camp were formulated by Xiao Tianjian himself, he had to admit that Xiao Tianjian not only knew how to govern the army, but also had the ability to manage the practice, which should not be underestimated. If he was allowed to do this kind of thing, he would never be able to do it so perfect as Xiao Tianjian, so the system of this medical camp made Fu Deming re-examine Xiao Tianjian's ability again.
Fu Deming also saw the attitude of those wounded towards Xiao Tianjian, he finally knew how much Xiao Tianjian used his brains in buying people's hearts, the ancients said well, a thousand gold sells horse bones, Xiao Tianjian is a real intention, he completely bought the hearts of these wounded, can he have such a means, are you still afraid that he will not be able to do great things?
