Chapter 203 From a Thousand Households

The wounded barracks is the original barracks, Li Zicheng entered a barracks accompanied by Zhou Bin, a strong smell, mixed with a touch of blood, came to his nose, he frowned, and said: "Xiaomi, after lunch, immediately organize people to clean the barracks, and there is no garbage in the barracks, otherwise, I only ask you!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Zhou Bin thought that Li Zicheng disliked the bad smell of the barracks, and hurriedly explained: "My lord, some barracks are inhabited by lightly wounded soldiers, and they can take care of it themselves!" ”

Li Zicheng nodded slightly, "No matter what, the barracks must be cleaned, if the barracks is dirty, even if it is air, the brothers will be susceptible to infection, and the recovery of wounds will be much slower!" ”

I see! Zhou Bin admired Li Zicheng even more in his heart, but he didn't plan to trouble He Xiaomi, so he changed the topic and said: "Brothers, Lord Qianhu has come to visit you!" ”

"Senno-sama ......"

"Senno-sama ......"

There were only more than 20 wounded soldiers in this barracks, and none of them seemed to be seriously injured.

"Brothers, lie down and don't move," Li Zicheng stepped forward quickly, holding down a wounded soldier who wanted to get up, "You are a wounded, don't be so polite, take care of your injuries!" He took his hand and put it in his own hand, and asked about his injuries and the state of the battle.

The wounded soldier's eyes suddenly shone brightly, tilted his head, and said, "My lord, although my subordinates were injured, they also cut off one of the arms of the Mongols......

Speaking of credit, the soldiers became excited, and it seemed that their injuries had been alleviated all of a sudden.

"I slashed at it, and the dog thief dodged quickly, only cutting off a few fingers, although he didn't die, he couldn't do evil with a knife again......"

"Lao Tzu shot over and directly pierced the Mongolian dog thief, seeing that it was not good, because he had to deal with the next dog thief, he had to let him go, and I don't know if he was dead!"

"Damn, Lao Tzu slashed over, just cut on the shoulder of the dog thief, just a little bit, he can cut off his head directly, it's a pity......"

“……”

Zhou Bin hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, the merits of the brothers are all recorded in the credit book!" ”

Li Zicheng laughed and said: "The brothers are all good, you are recuperating from your injuries now, and after your body recovers, you can continue to kill the Mongolian robbers and strive to create the glory of the Xining Army again!" ”

"My lord, can we still go to war?" The wounded soldier who had received special preferential treatment from Li Zicheng just now was older and more courageous, and when he saw Li Zicheng's pleasant face, he asked carefully.

"Brothers, first rest assured to recuperate, I will ask for credit for every brother according to the records in the merit book," Li Zicheng scanned all the wounded soldiers, and found that there were serious injuries, and some people were afraid that they would leave the battlefield forever, he said in an almost changed tone: "Brothers, take care of your body first, if you can return to the battlefield, I will not only give you a reward, but also give you a promotion, if you are seriously injured and disabled, and lose your combat effectiveness and ability to survive, I will also relocate you to work, I guarantee that each of you and your family will be a brother who will have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, even if you are a dead brother, I will also take care of his family, parents and wives for life, and children will be raised until adulthood! ”

Li Zicheng planned that if they were partially incapacitated, they could be placed in the yamen of various prefectures and counties to serve as government officials to catch them, although they were disabled, but when they came out of the battlefield and from the pile of dead people, their violent spirit would definitely be better than that of ordinary people, and the main role of the government officials was to create a tense atmosphere and scare the people, and they did not need much strong combat effectiveness.

Moreover, these people who participated in the defense of the Triangle City and defended Xining and the people with their own blood and lives cannot be without feelings, most of them have been infused with a fierce spirit in their blood, and their sense of fairness and justice will be stronger than that of ordinary civilian personnel.

"Adult ......"

"Adult ......"

The soldiers wanted to turn over from the bed and salute, some of the soldiers cried, these were deserters on the battlefield a few months ago, and even garbage people in the eyes of others, this time in the triangle city, in front of the scimitars of the Mongolian cavalry, they stubbornly stood up, but Li Zicheng's almost words were even more powerful than the Mongolian scimitars, and directly stabbed the softest part of their hearts.

The Han people's requirements for life are so simple, these were originally the rights and interests they deserved, but now they are only verbally promised, and one by one they are grateful to Dade.

Li Zicheng hurriedly stopped the wounded soldiers from saluting, and the soldiers should respect the officers, but it was not at this time, he hugged his fists and saluted the wounded soldiers one by one.

Seeing that the barracks had returned to its original solemnity and depression, it was really not conducive to them recovering from their injuries and recuperating their bodies, so he smiled and said: "Brothers, hurry up and take care of your body, and when your injuries heal, I will issue you a monthly ticket for war merits, if your internal injuries are not well adjusted, you won't be able to deal with the girls when the time comes, and you can't complain about ......others."

"Haha......"

"Thank you, ...... you."

"Adults are really ......"

……

Not only the wounded soldiers, but even Zhou Bin grinned, I don't know if the adults will also issue him a monthly ticket for military merits, it is estimated that there is no play, the monthly ticket for military merits is generally issued to soldiers, if the officers have made meritorious contributions, they are basically promoted, but he is now a hundred households, and if he wants to be promoted, wouldn't it be comparable to a thousand households? Moreover, the other six hundred household officials also made meritorious contributions, but they were never promoted, but they were only rewarded with money.

After this battle of the triangle city, the lord of the thousand households did not ask for merit for himself, nor did he disregard the military discipline, but from then on, this hundred household officials, he was down-to-earth, and he was no longer promoted for no reason.

After Li Zicheng's joke, the barracks was suddenly filled with laughter, where it was still like a serious ward, but more like a noisy kindergarten.

Li Zicheng left the barracks and inspected the barracks again, and then went to the dining hall with Zhou Bin.

At this time, Liu Yunshui had already returned, and when he saw Li Zicheng, he turned over and bowed: "My lord, we chased for twenty miles, but unfortunately we still let Bayar run...... However, we gathered together the corpses of the Mongols, together with the city, a total of eighty-two, but unfortunately the wounded soldiers were all cut off from the ranks, and there was not a single prisoner of war. ”

"Eighty-two?" Zhou Bin was overjoyed, "Bayar is only a hundred cavalry, eighty-two dead, there should be less than twenty horsemen around him, and there are wounded soldiers...... This Bayar, it's time to stop for a while, right? ”

"Eighty percent of the mortality rate, and he fled in embarrassment, and he didn't grab any materials, look at what he will use to fight the grass valley in the future," Li Zicheng was also overjoyed, "There are less than twenty wounded soldiers left, Bayar is almost wiped out this time, and the triangle city is going to be peaceful for a while." ”

Lunch was eaten quickly, and after the meal, the soldiers were not idle, in addition to taking care of the wounded soldiers, they were burying the corpses.

In order to save land, the corpses of the Mongols, the remaining horse bones after the war horses came out of the flesh, were first gathered, burned in a fire, and then the remaining ashes were dug and buried, even if they were disposed of.

The corpses of the soldiers in Xining will definitely not be able to be brought back to Xining, and now the weather has gradually become hotter, if they are brought back to Xining, the road will definitely stink, and it is easy to cause diseases and plagues, so they have to find a piece of land halfway up the mountain in the north of the city and bury the brothers one by one.

War horses have been gathered, can continue to be used on the battlefield, there are more than 80 horses, when the Mongols hit the grass valley, in order to transport materials, are one person and two horses, one horse to carry people, one horse to carry things, but when Bayar fled in embarrassment, they were left to Xining, which is the only capture of the Xining army.

Li Zicheng distributed several war horses to Zhou Bin as a reward, and the rest were handed over to Liu Yunshui's department to increase the number of cavalry and concentrate on strengthening the strength of the cavalry.

Dead horses and wounded horses can not be in vain, horse meat is ripped off, even horse bones are kept stewed soup, unfortunately, now the soldiers in the triangle city are too few, can not eat for a while, the firefighters will suspend the slaughter of sheep, salted fish is also sealed, the next few days, all horse meat and horse bone soup, and then can not be eaten, it must be pickled up, convenient to preserve.

The garrison of the Triangle City must not be handed over to the 500 households, even Zhou Bin was injured, almost all the soldiers hung colors, and they were unable to defend the city at all, when Li Zicheng raised troops from Xining, he had already calculated and temporarily handed over the Triangle City to Liu Yunshui's first cavalry 100 households.

The biggest advantage of the cavalry is mobility, which is not suitable for defending the city, or rather, defending the city is a pure waste, but first, Liu Yunshui still has 300 infantry, which can be used to defend the city, and secondly, the cavalry of Liu Yunshui's department is not idle, and can learn from Bayar's example, go deep into the enemy's territory, and fight some grass valleys to the lone Mongolian herdsmen or small tribes.

Li Zicheng did not expect to snatch any supplies from the Mongols, but to deter the Mongols, at least to warn the defenders of the Triangle City in advance, which was equivalent to adding some mobile beacons to the north of the Triangle City, of course, it would be better if he could get some war horses from the Mongols.

The evaluation of military merits will have to wait until after returning to Xining, but Li Zicheng first gave Zhou Bin a reassuring pill - he was promoted to 1,000 households, and the subordinate soldiers were expanded to 500 households, and the officers of 100 households were selected from the wounded soldiers as much as possible, and the whole army returned to Xining for training.

If you talk about merit, Zhou Bin still held the triangle city with a mortality rate of more than forty percent and the whole army was injured, and this credit can be directly promoted to a thousand households, but Li Zicheng is now a thousand households, and his promotion to a thousand households is already the limit.

Li Zicheng originally expected that among his seven hundred households, the first to be promoted to a thousand households would be cronies like Liu Yunshui, Li Guo or Ma Youshui, and the remaining four hundred household officials were all former officers of Xiningwei, who were somewhat tainted with some bad habits.

Like Xie Guangze, the original 600th household official, he actually became a deserter at the critical moment of attacking Xining, and even prepared to report to Ganzhou, if Li Zicheng had not been prepared, the consequences would not have been unimaginable.

Today's Zhou Bin, at the cost of the injuries of the whole army and even his life, let Li Zicheng see that under his tutelage, the entire Xining Army has been reborn, even the original Xining Wei soldiers and officers, after the whole training, can also be worthy of the word "soldier".

The glorious past is also conducive to gathering popularity and improving the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the whole battalion, and now it seems that the 500th household is already an army with a glorious tradition.

Therefore, the position of "from a thousand households" was awarded to Zhou Bin for the first time.
