The night wind carried Li Yongzhong's words far away. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Chihu entrusted the brothers to me," he calmed his voice, recovering the agitation that Fang had almost not contained. After a pause, he looked at the Ming army in front of him and continued: "I don't say anything big, just say one sentence - tomorrow's battle, below me, dare to escape, cowardly, kill!" Dare to disobey military orders, kill! Those who dare to call at will and disrupt the formation, kill! ”

The three killing intent words are thicker than the word by word, even the officer's face is ugly, but at this point, there is no way to do it anymore. Among the hundreds of officials, quite a few people stared at Li Yongzhong's back with gloomy faces, and there were some unkind thoughts in their hearts, but the corpse of Qian Chuan, who was shot to death by this young man, was still placed on the barren beach, and at this time, any idea had to be temporarily restrained.

Li Yongzhong naturally didn't know that there were people among the officers behind him who harbored malice towards him, but even if he knew, he would only smile contemptuously and didn't care. He tore open his throat and shouted loudly regardless of the disregard: "Tomorrow's battle, if you want to live, follow me!" He stared at the soldiers who were already a little overwhelmed, and shouted solemnly: "You guys, do you want to live!" ”

A few soldiers who stood in front, a little bolder, smacked their lips a few times under his forced gaze, and finally squeezed out a sentence with a sad face: "I want to live, I want to live......"

Li Yongzhong raised his eyebrows, walked in two steps to the soldier who was already trembling slightly, looked at him expressionlessly, and asked again: "Do you want to live?" ”

"Think, think ......"

"Do you want to?!"

"Yes!"

"Do you want to!"

"Yes!" The soldier closed his eyes in despair and squeezed his voice out of his chest: "I want to live!" ”

The young man shouted violently, "What about you! ”

First one or two, then seven or eight, and finally all the soldiers, whether they were muddy, treacherous, simple, or greedy for life and afraid of death, all of them desperately opened their mouths, and put the fear, anger, longing, struggle through their chests, vibrated their vocal cords, and finally rushed out of their throats: "I want to live!" I want to live! I want to live! ”

Cui Zhouping was behind the hundred household officials and quietly clenched his fists. Then he smiled softly and walked away alone—the mourning was complete, and the victory or defeat of tomorrow was decided. The Chinese military copywriter suddenly became a little interested in this strange young man, although he would not do anything now Cui Zhouping smiled and walked slowly towards the place where several civilian officials were.

The soldiers dispersed to rest, and Li Yongzhong called all the hundred households and the general banner to one place and began to prepare for the next day's battle-he also called Cao Jinliang, Liu Xiaoqi, and several other army commanders, while Chen Mingjiang stood beside Li Yongzhong with the hilt of his sword in silence - he didn't know what Chen Xianda said to his righteous son, but since the Qianhu official fell unconscious again, Chen Mingjiang followed Li Yongzhong three steps behind.

"No more gossip." Li Yongzhong spoke simply and clearly, and at the same time motioned to Chen Mingjiang to open the map, "We are now in the location of the so-called Pingshan Dam, and you have also seen it, there is a shallow water outside this river beach, this is the Qingshui River, and there is Xiangshui below. So, if we want to go back, we have to go back to the road! ”

He moved his gaze to Zheng Guocai and said in a deep voice: "Zheng Baihu! ”

Zheng Guocai did not hesitate to clench his fists and bow in response: "Yes!" ”

"Tomorrow, you will lead the headquarters and Zhou Baihu as the forward!"

"Yes!"

"Feng Baoqun!"

"In!"

"You lead the headquarters as the rear team, protect the wounded soldiers and baggage, prepare medicinal materials and bandages, and be ready to receive the wounded at any time after the battle begins!"

Feng Baoqun was stunned when he heard this, first subconsciously responded with a "yes", then looked at Li Yongzhong, and asked with some hesitation: "Is this ...... Zhong Guan'er...... Collecting wounded soldiers used to be done after the battle. ”

Li Yongzhong shook his head, not only for Feng Baoqun, but also to explain to the others: "Tomorrow, if we break through, there is no advance or retreat, the soldiers are fighting in front, and they will always die and be injured. Let's collect the wounded soldiers first, one is to calm the hearts of the soldiers, and the other is to stabilize the morale of the soldiers. ”

Seeing everyone's faces, Li Yongzhong smiled bitterly in his heart, not only at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but also at the end of the Qing Dynasty hundreds of years later, battlefield ambulance was still not taken seriously, and it was not until after the establishment of the modern military system that the West imitated the establishment of a medical team and trained doctors and nurses who were proficient in battlefield ambulance. And at the end of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention China, even the European armies did not have decent medical care, and the mortality rate in the war was extremely high, and many times, many deaths could have been avoided with just a few simple measures.

From the beginning of the establishment of the escort team, Li Yongzhong forcibly sent the most intelligent and calm young man to the infirmary to learn simple medical skills, and planned in every possible way to get the best gold sore medicine for trauma in eastern Sichuan, and implemented basic hygiene habits among the guards.

The seeds that were sown back then are finally ready to be harvested.

Seeing that Feng Baoqun had no objections, he named them in turn: "Cao Jinliang, Liu Xiaoqi, Tian Wentian, etc., tomorrow and Zheng Baihu will be the striker!" Speaking of his own people, his tone suddenly became much more severe, "Tomorrow, all the soldiers of the Li family will charge ahead!" No orders, no retreats! Tonight it will be clear to the soldiers, and everyone must remember what their duties are! ”

The guard officers, led by Cao Jinliang, had a calm face, and after Li Yongzhong finished speaking, they all bowed down and clasped their fists, and responded loudly: "Take the order!" ”

None of the officers thought that Li Yongzhong would let his guards charge as the vanguard, like Zheng Guocai, who had a lot of confidence in him before, even those officers who were suspicious and uneasy, although they secretly muttered that this was just a move to buy people's hearts, but they also had to say that they did have some confidence in this young salt merchant because of this order.

Li Yongzhong's arrangement continues: "Chen Sheng, Wang Cheng, Liu Baisheng, Chen Mingjiang, follow me in the Chinese army tomorrow!" You must always be awake, you are not only a reinforcement for the forward, but also a new force! If the strikers get into a bitter battle, only the Chinese army can save them! If the striker's attack goes well, only the Chinese army can follow up and expand the results! If the striker is the blade, the Chinese army is the blade! When he spoke, his eyes kept pressing on the hundreds of households who were left behind in the Chinese army, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of sharp energy, which made them sweat coldly, and they didn't dare to raise their heads!

Arranged a few more sentences such as miscellaneous things, Li Yongzhong finally let go of the officer, Chen Mingjiang was silently by his side, and when the people were almost gone, Li Yongzhong suddenly turned his head and smiled at Chen Mingjiang, stretched his waist greatly, and only heard the bones creak for a while, and he moaned. Recite. With a voice, he said, "Brother Mingjiang, it's finally okay for the time being, how about we talk?" ”

"If Zhongguan'er is so interested, of course Mingjiang will accompany him." Chen Mingjiang opened his mouth calmly and asked him, "I just don't know what Zhong Guan'er wants to talk about." ”

Li Yongzhong smiled. In fact, he said that he wanted to chat, but it was just a sudden thought after catching a glimpse of Chen Mingjiang just now. This usually taciturn young man has no sense of existence even in the ranks, and he seems to be very content with the life of standing behind someone. But thinking that Chen Mingjiang gave him a sentence of Zhu Sheng's plan to advise Taizu not long ago, Li Yongzhong felt that this person was by no means as simple as it seemed.

Thinking of this, the young man simply picked up a piece of bluestone and sat down, but Chen Mingjiang refused to sit and still stood beside him. Li Yongzhong vaguely realized that perhaps Chen Mingjiang was showing him the difference between master and servant in this way. It's as if he was able to say it unceremoniously to Li Yongzhong before, but the reason was just because Li Yongzhong had nothing to do with the official army at that time, and Chen Mingjiang was Chen Xianda's righteous son and the head of the guard, but he had nothing to do with Li Yongzhong.

"I'm actually weird." Li Yongzhong was silent for a while, and then chuckled twice, "You have always been by your father-in-law's side, but now your father-in-law is seriously injured, but you are here with me - I see some people, and your eyes are not very good." ”

"The affairs of others have nothing to do with me." Chen Xianda obviously didn't expect Li Yongzhong to talk to him about this, but he thought that he was frank and had nothing to say, so he said calmly: "My father-in-law ordered me to stay by your side ...... Zhongguan'er - the battle is dangerous, if there is a in case" He shook his head, "In short, since the father-in-law is famous, Mingjiang will obey." ”

The stars flickered gently on the curtain of the deep night sky, the mountains could only see a vague outline, out of nowhere came the faint howl of wild beasts, the night wind was whining, stirring the flags of all colors standing on the barren beach, the bonfires were torn out in the wind, except for the soldiers who patrolled and kept vigil, most of them fell asleep with their weapons on their pillows after a day of exhaustion, and in the mountains in the middle of the night, human activities were compressed to the extreme.

"If it is my father-in-law's command, then I should obey it." Li Yongzhong stood up and smiled at Chen Mingjiang, "I really can't do it here, it's blood and sweat, and it's all condensed into a dry shell at this moment...... He muttered and complained in a low voice: "Except for salt, I haven't been so dirty......"

Chen Mingjiang couldn't help but chuckle, at this moment, when he looked at Li Yongzhong, he felt a little boyish again. couldn't help but speak: "Isn't this the case for this march to fight? This is not bad, when I was in Liaodong with my father-in-law in the past, the blood stain was stained into the fingernails, and I couldn't wash it, but in the end I still found it and picked it one by one with the wooden skewers, so that it was clean. ”

Li Yongzhong laughed self-deprecatingly: "Compared with Mingjiang, you and your father-in-law, where am I here?" When he said this, he squatted down by the water, poured water on his face, washed his face happily, and when he was refreshed, he sighed comfortably, and he didn't know whether to say to himself or Chen Mingjiang: "Life and death have a fate, wealth is in the sky, if you really want to die, it is better to die cleanly."
