Chapter 58: Interlude
On the third day of conquering Changle County and resting and preparing for battle, the enemy still did not appear, but Zhou Huai'an fell into some kind of trouble.
One of Wang Pan's right-hand men, Zhou Pang and Sun Liuma, the fifth lieutenant of the middle battalion, followed him step by step with a respectful face and a grateful face. I can't wait to write the words "I want to repay the favor" or "I am right" written on my face.
Isn't it just a momentary itch and can't hold back, just took a few seriously injured people who were identified as unsaved, and picked up the first aid sutures that were already a little rusty, who knew that one of them survived the probability of heavy bleeding, that is, Zhou Pang's younger brother,;
Zhou Huai'an is also hard to forget, because of severe blood loss shock and dying like a dead man's experimental subject, under his chest pressure and percussion method, spit out the clogged blood clot and start to breathe and moan again, the eyes and expressions of the people around Zhou and others. That is also nicknamed "Ma Liuma", a nephew who has always been regarded as his own son.
Therefore, they volunteered to put down what they were doing and came to Zhou Huai'an's side in person to help one or two, which is also the mood of returning favors and making friends with Panlun in a sense. After all, the sword that often walks on the battle battlefield has no eyes, and he may have to rely on the skills he promoted and taught in the army, this set of emergency wound suturing and hemostasis and post-event disinfection and epidemic prevention techniques to save a life.
Giving up their lives or fearing death does not mean that they do not cherish their lives and are indifferent to increasing the probability of survival.
Therefore, the changes brought about by this point even exceeded the goodwill and influence accumulated by Zhou Huai'an's subtle improvements and additions in his daily life, and were regarded as some rather sacred and ritualized procedures and means, and were named "life continuation techniques" and "killing plague ghosts", and they were implemented spontaneously and unscrupulously.
As a result, the group of young people under Zhou Huai'an who were stuffed over to obey orders and commands finally had the identity and qualifications of so-called "apprentices" and direct subordinates.
However, this undoubtedly touched an idea that inspired him, that is, to use the limited backtracking and recording function of this nameless auxiliary system on his body to restore part of the content of the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook", which he had read several times in the old man's collection as enlightenment and boring reading materials out of curiosity in his early years.
In this way, even if you get out of the peasant army in the future, you can rely on this fragmented knowledge and experience to pretend to mix up an energy-consuming identity cover in this era when the productivity and scientific and technological standards are quite backward; After all, no matter ancient or modern, Chinese and foreign, the good and the noble, the virtuous and the foolish, in the face of diseases that cannot be predicted and understood, or explained, they always have to be relatively equal.
"The monk's ability is a godsend."
At the same time, Wang Pan's explanation in private was much more straightforward.
"Next, give him whatever he wants."
"Even if you want your mother-in-law, you have to smile and offer it with both hands, is it saved?"
"Then where is the military government to explain and reply?"
Another subordinate, Sun Xiu, the brigade commander who temporarily took Deng Cun's position, said inquiringly
"Do you want to... Think of some way. ”
"What kind of bastard thoughts are you?"
Wang Pan couldn't help but scold.
"Even if he has a better future because of this, it will be a great thing for our rebels."
"Why do you hinder it because of your own selfishness?"
Of course, he also wanted to make this virtual monk who claimed to know a little bit about everything to be worry-free and comfortable to stay by his side for a long time, but he also knew that it was almost impossible.
After all, there are so many people who have witnessed what happened in the past two days that it is not something he can hide casually. Not to mention that several of his subordinates accepted each other's favors directly or indirectly, and many people in the army still relied on the means he taught him to save emergencies and lives in the future;
At this time, if someone jumps out and then has to take it with empty teeth, his identity is suspicious and his origin is unknown, not to mention that there are people who defend and defend it on the face, and people who are selling a little cleverness to provoke right and wrong are beaten to death afterwards or find an excuse to beat them to death, which is also not negotiable.
Putting aside these thoughts and vignettes,
In the end, more than 1,500 stones of rice, wheat and beans and other grains were seized from Changle County, which was enough to feed the Fufeng camp for more than a month, with other dried dried salt vegetables and livestock in the storage pen. There were also more than 200 large cattle and more than 100 carts and carts that were levied and assembled on the spot by the officers and soldiers; and about 1,000 armor staff and armor banners, of which there are 137 armors of various colors of leather alone, and even eleven pairs of iron-inlaid armor.
Then, according to the custom, a small part of the grain was divided into the streets, and as a means of recruiting new soldiers and husbands, three or four hundred poor men and more than two hundred displaced people who ran over from the neighborhood were soon re-recruited in a depressed urban area, which can be regarded as making up for most of the previous war losses. It's hard to say just the specific combat effectiveness, and it will take time to slowly concoct it.
As a result, the grain station with Changle County as the station was soon set up in the local area, and the person in charge of the grain station deservedly fell on the head of Zhou Huai'an, who was obviously expected by some people, and Lao Guan naturally became one of his deputies.
And the forty or so horses captured and recovered on the battlefield were also divided into half of the rear team where he was, plus the extra mules and so on; As a result, Zhou Huai'an finally had a direct team under his command to ride a horse; He expected the team to be used for patrol and reconnaissance purposes.
In the same way, after the replenishment and reorganization, more than 100 pairs of bows and arrows of various types, more than 200 long and short knives, 500 spearheads and poles, as well as vehicles that were inconvenient to move and cattle, donkeys and large animals that could not move fast, were also left at the disposal of the rear team.
In addition, there were three food guards who were not satisfied with the staff and basically did not reduce their staff, more than 300 lightly wounded and more than 80 seriously wounded, as well as those miscellaneous servants and masters who were replenished on the spot; Zhou Huai'an's command suddenly broke through the scale of more than 1,000 people, and even more than the central battalion directly led by Wang Pan, although less than one-third of them had combat effectiveness.
But it also means that after Wang Pan led the troops again, he got a short window period for himself to be the master.
Therefore, Zhou Huai'an also asked Wang Pan's consent before leaving, and divided his temporary subordinates into five teams, a guard team, and a patrol team.
The first brigade is a production team of various craftsmen and apprentices, which is responsible for the production of some simple military products on the spot, and provides some tools, equipment and equipment for maintenance and repair. The fire kitchen in the army, the warehouse manager and so on are also temporarily here.
The second brigade is a life-saving team, which mainly collects medical materials on the spot and manages, cares for and cares for the wounded.
The third brigade is the mule and horse team, which is responsible for feeding the meat animals and taking care of the large animals that provide animal power, and at the same time cooperating with the first brigade to inspect and repair the means of transport used on a daily basis.
The fourth brigade is the construction team, which is mainly responsible for the construction of camping such as digging ditches and repairing fortifications, and when living in the urban area, it repairs the camp defense and builds some simple facilities.
The fifth brigade is the general team with the largest number of people, mainly doing odd work such as digging and felling, quarrying, and taking water, etc., with the least skill content and the simplest heavy work, and dispatches manpower to support the above four brigades according to actual needs.
Therefore, theoretically, the first brigade is the best paid, and the standard under the daily ration is the highest; The second brigade is second, and the third brigade is second; The Fifth Brigade is at the bottom, doing the most repetitive work and only the most basic rations.
Then, they were temporarily unified in the form of brigades, squadrons, squads, and cooperative groups; Of course, due to the limited manpower, most of them are still in a state of shortage, and at present, only the three levels below the squadron are still spreading.
The three teams of soldiers who were not satisfied with the formation were also justified in forming an exclusive escort team, among which those who showed laziness and cunning, or were dull and stubborn, or had bad habits that were difficult to change, were all found to be returned or sent elsewhere, or simply found an opportunity to dispose of them to set an example;
In the end, there were more than 110 people left who barely met the basic requirements, and they were relatively obedient and obedient, although there were still all kinds of problems and problems such as woodenness and cowardice, but after unifying the equipment and specifying simple procedures, it was enough to maintain the daily service assignment and conduct.
Anyway, once there is something, what he really needs to count on is actually the thirty or so people in the direct team, and about half of them will be willing to block arrows for him, or risk their lives to block the enemy and cut off the rear, and fight for him a one-time chance to escape and a limited survival probability or something;
Now there are more than two dozen apprentices/new pawns who follow them, and they can be rightfully instructed to do most things other than direct death; Of course, he wouldn't be so explicit.
However, the cheap labor that is delivered to the door does not want to use knowledge and skill as bait to squeeze out the maximum surplus value ready-made; Is he still the modern man who has read the principles of Capital and excerpts from the Communist Manifesto in ideological and moral textbooks, and has been influenced by the gradual development process of society that has reformed the rampant materialism?
