On the second day, Xiao Xiurong was preparing to do a pre-war mobilization, and afterwards mobilized his soldiers to complete the final blow to the remnants of the Ming Ni Bin command in the encirclement, but he didn't expect that the military headquarters came with an order to suspend the attack.

"I said Lao Zeng, what's going on with the military commander? I'm the one who made the military order, and I must take down this group of people today, otherwise I will lose my face when it spreads out in the future. ”

Xiao Xiurong grabbed Zeng Jing, the second-in-command of the staff who came to deliver the message, and he was just nagging, but in fact he just wanted to inquire about the information.

"Hey, you just put a hundred hearts, the group of people who were blocked by you in the dead alley can't escape from the palms of your hands anyway, and it's only a matter of time before they are exterminated."

Zeng Jing was full of confidence in Xiao Xiurong and them, and at the same time, he told him Commander Wu Jie's plan without concealment.

"It was the division commander Kong Youde who went to surround the fleeing crowd of Tianjin Wei They had an unexpected gain, one of the convoys was carrying the direct family members of the commander of Tianjin Wei Sanwei, so the army commander wanted to see if he could use them to let the Ming army give up resistance and formally surrender."

"It's good to be a good guy with the Ming army, and he can be regarded as a hero who will not retreat from the battle, and he is not bad in military affairs, the army commander is a pity!"

"Oh, I see!"

After Xiao Xiurong learned of the commander's plan after Zeng Jing's explanation, although he had some regrets and pity, as a commander who commanded the battle, he had a lot of dealings with the Ming Dynasty army in front, and he was somewhat fortunate for this group of admirable guys.

If the other party can surrender under the persuasion of his family, then for the Hongtang soldiers and their opponents, they can avoid a tragic battle, and they can enrich the strength of the Hongtang army.

In contrast, the battle damage that is very likely to be brought by strangling the other party, as well as the merits brought by it, make Xiao Xiurong not pay so much attention to it.

Soon, the representative of Hongtang, who came to persuade him, came to Xiao Xiurong's position with a few ordinary Han people who were cowering and turning back three times in one step, and at the same time, Xiao Xiurong and they all sent each other into the position of the remnants of the Ming Dynasty.

I don't know what this staff member from the civil affairs department of the Hongmen government said, or if it was really as Xiao Xiurong imagined, the three Tianjin Wei commanders of the Ming Dynasty were affected by their relatives by Fu, anyway, at noon on the second day of being surrounded, they finally raised the white flag, and under the leadership of the Hongmen representatives, Ni Bin and Zhao Cunzhi were the first to come out to negotiate to show their sincerity; Not long after, after seeing the relatives of the three commanders in person, Mei Yingwu, the commander of the right guard of Tianjin, led their group of troops, handed over their weapons, and walked out of the rudimentary fortifications.

"Medic, medics, come over and help them bandage their wounds!!"

Even if Ni Bin and the three commanders were high-level, they personally commanded the battle, and under the fierce attack of the Hongtang soldiers, they also had many scars, not to mention the group of Ming Dynasty soldiers who desperately protected them.

"Thank you!"

Commander Mei Yingwu, who was not reconciled, watched the busy figures appear in their army at this time, ignoring the filth caused by the blood stains on everyone's bodies, skillfully bandaging their wounds, and he said a word of gratitude sincerely.

Mei Yingwu is now an old man in his fifties, and at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven in this era, it can be said that he has lived enough, and Mei Yingwu himself still has the dignity of a martial artist, but he is quite resistant to the persuasion of the previous Hongmen people.

However, his three sons and seven grandsons under Mei Yingwu's knees have all fallen into the hands of the Hongmen people, although there is also a young son who is on an errand in Nanjing, but he has become a few direct bloodlines of the enemy's chess pieces, and it is still difficult for Mei Yingwu to give up.

Second, as the remaining two commanders of the three commanders of Tianjin Wei, in the face of the enemy's persuasion, after a night of thinking, they finally gave up their futile resistance, even if Mei Yingwu himself decided to resist, it was only in vain, but it may affect his family.

Under all these factors, Mei Yingwu still softened in his heart, and his desire to survive took over, and he became a prisoner of Hongmen with Ni Bin.

However, in his heart, Mei Yingwu at least has some persistence, and he is still somewhat resistant to the Hongmen people.

However, when they saw that the Hongmen people received the prisoners, they immediately began to treat the wounded and sick soldiers, which became a highlight that impressed Mei Yingwu.

At least in Mei Yingwu's memory, no matter which forces are fighting, there is really no one who can take care of and treat the wounded and sick soldiers so much after the war, even the Ming Dynasty, which thinks that it has a profound heritage and a lot of benevolent and righteous concepts, for such injuries, to be honest, it is just a simple treatment, and in the end, whether the wounded soldiers can survive the pain depends on God's favor.

Although Mei Yingwu has not made many achievements in military affairs, and he is not as good as the Hongtang army in terms of arranging troops, but in terms of treating the soldiers around him, he still thinks that he has achieved the four words of sharing weal and woe, which is also the reason why he is almost not injured among the three commanders in his fifties: the guards around him and his subordinates on the right guard of Tianjin are always desperate to protect Mei Yingwu, the general, in times of crisis, and everyone is willing and without complaints.

"This is the rule of our Hongtang army, no matter how fierce the fight was before, but as long as we put down our weapons, then in the eyes of our medical soldiers, there is no difference between the enemy and the opponent."

A medical soldier heard Mei Yingwu's sincere thanks, raised his head and replied with a bright smile: "From the first day of our medical studies, we have made an oath to Master Shennong for a long time, regardless of whether the object is poor or not, good or evil, high or low, etc., as long as they suffer from diseases, we, as doctors, need to have the heart of curing the disease and saving people, and do our best to treat them." ”

“……”

For the first time, Mei Yingwu was a little interested in Hongmen, and couldn't help but continue to ask: "Can ordinary people be treated if they don't have money?" ”

"Yes, why not!"

Facing Mei Yingwu, a Ming Dynasty soldier who had already become a prisoner under the ranks, even when he asked himself at this time, there were still two Hongtang soldiers with real knives and guns standing beside him, while skillfully handling the prisoner's wounds, he raised his head and replied enthusiastically: "We Hongmen have placement Salesian Bureaus in various places, but all the local lonely and widowed elderly, lost children, and those disabled people who have been abandoned due to disability and other factors will be given the basic living guarantee of our Hongmen." ”

"Generally living with diseases, now in our Hongmen, we only need to take a few pills or patches for the symptoms, most of these medicines are cheap and ordinary people can afford them."

"If you are a seriously ill patient, if your family really can't come up with money to treat the disease, you can also treat the disease first and then make money to make up for it."

“…………”

Speaking of the medical system of Hongmen, this Hongmen medical soldier is full of extreme pride, from the first director of the Salesian Bureau, Huang Youran, to the current Hongmen Minister of Health, Ms. Wu Changtao, all of them are carrying forward the four words of benevolence of their doctors, so that each of them is proud of their profession from the bottom of their hearts.

Listening to the heartfelt and gushing words of a low-level soldier in Hongtang, and looking at the undisguised pride and pride on his face, Mei Yingwu suddenly felt deeply worried about the Ming Dynasty that he had been loyal to for most of his life.

I had heard earlier that Dayuan Island, where the Hongmen people are located, has prosperous commerce and fertile land, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, as long as they are diligent and willing to work, they can have a life of abundant food and clothing in Hongmen.

Because he didn't have much to do with Hongmen, and because he didn't have anything to do with himself, Mei Yingwu had never taken it to deaf ears and never took it to heart; But now that he has become a captive of the Hongmen people, last night and night, listening to the treatment and life of the Hongmen persuasion members to give himself and others, as well as what he saw and heard from these low-level Hongmen people along the way, Mei Yingwu found that the opponent of the Ming Dynasty today is no longer any opponent they have been in contact with.

The Qing people seem to be strong and invincible, but they are barbarians, in addition to burning, killing and looting, and using force to establish power, in fact, they have no other convenient advantages, especially in terms of people's livelihood, they are even more blank, although they have begun to make good use of Hanchen, learn the Han system to establish the imperial court, but look at what they did in Liaodong, at this time the Qing Dynasty is like a three-year-old child in the political history and people's livelihood, Shanshan is just a toddler.

As for the Daxi and Dashun peasant rebels, they are even more unbearable, in addition to being seized by them to seize the opportunity of natural disasters and man-made disasters, to win the support of the people at the bottom who were in the heat of the water at that time, and then to pry the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, what progress do they have next?

However, as they consumed their respect for the people at the bottom again and again, and used the people to sacrifice again and again to achieve their goal of consolidating power and enjoying a luxurious life, their threat to the Ming Dynasty was not as good as day by day.

The fall of Li Zicheng, the thief of Dashun, is a logical thing, and it is foreseeable that Zhang Xianzhong, who is shrinking in the land of abundance, will soon be destroyed step by step in the conquest of the Ming Dynasty.

But now this Hongmen, who has been in contact for the first time, has given Mei Yingwu another feeling.

Not to mention that the firearms of the Hongtang army that fought with their Tianjin guards were sharp and powerful, and everyone in the Hongtang soldiers dared to fight and kill, without any cowardice.

Just now that he has traveled this way, what Mei Yingwu has learned through simple contact is not comparable to the likes of the Qing Dynasty and Dashun that he has seen.

In many cases, whether a team and force can go long and have potential depends not only on the territory they occupy and the strength they have, but also on the words and deeds of their low-level members, as well as the system.

Although he has not yet had in-depth contact, when Mei Yingwu and the others abandoned their weapons and surrendered, Mei Yingwu had a kind of realization that perhaps in his life, he would be born and die as one of the members of the Hongmen, and there would be no chance to return to the Ming Dynasty.

Because of this level of consciousness, Mei Yingwu couldn't help but seem to carefully observe every Hongtang soldier and Hongmen member he came into contact with, the envoy who persuaded them to surrender last night, and painted a Hongmen scene for them, as well as the corresponding treatment after they surrendered, etc., but most of the things that were revealed from the Hongmen persuasion members had a beautification meaning, and there would definitely be untruths.

But at least it also gave Mei Yingwu and them a general understanding of Hongmen, and on the way, in just over an hour of getting along, Mei Yingwu communicated with the two soldiers who were guarding him, and asked questions to the medical soldiers who saved the lives and helped the wounded, which enriched his understanding of Hongmen.

Of course, there may be many details in it, and Mei Yingwu can't get a glimpse of the whole picture, but this does not prevent him from having a preliminary judgment on the Hongmen he knows now.

And the more he learned about Hongmen, the more deeply Mei Yingwu felt the terrible nature of such a force, which made him deeply worried about the Ming Dynasty, which had worked for him and still had some loyalty.

"What are you doing here?"

A smell with a bit of wine, but different from the taste of wine, came from the white gauze on which the medical soldiers wiped the wounded prisoners, which aroused Mei Yingwu's curiosity.

"Oh, it's alcohol, it's for patients like this who have huge wounds that need to be stitched up."

Anyway, these medical things are not something that needs to be kept secret, and their division commander did not prohibit the general of the Ming Dynasty from visiting and questioning, so in the face of the other party's question, the medical soldier answered very happily, and even for fear that the other party would not understand what he was talking about, he explained to him: "This alcohol is the high-concentration substance that we use to refine the edible wine by refining the edible wine in the usual way, which is alcohol." ”

"What? Do you use this to disinfect your soldiers? ”

Mei Yingwu's shock is that he knows very well the raw materials needed to brew alcohol, although he is not very clear about the extraction principle of alcohol, but what he wants to extract from alcohol, how can it be a bargain!

"Yes, this alcohol disinfection is the most effective, in the past, if you treated a trauma patient, the patients who were disinfected by other disinfection methods, almost more than seventy percent of the patients will still have wound infection, and less than one-third of them can survive the infection."

"But now that we use alcohol to disinfect wounds and then treat wounds, the chance of wound infection drops to about 50%. After infection, if the wound is cleaned daily and disinfected with alcohol, the survival rate is almost more than half. ”

Speaking of curing diseases and saving people, this medical soldier was dancing with his eyebrows, and all kinds of actual data came as soon as he opened his mouth, giving Mei Yingwu a vivid and easy-to-understand explanation.

"Then don't you think it's not cost-effective to use such materials to treat a low-level soldier?"

Mei Yingwu muttered and continued to ask a question.

"Isn't it a good deal! That's a life! ”

"Anyway, we don't have many others in Hongmen, and when it comes to wealth and food in Danshuikeng, it's really too much to use up or eat!"
