137. Recuperate

Zhang Yingxian has been lying on the bed for more than a month, although her injury is not a major injury, but she is a weak lady herself, and her physique is relatively poor. Coupled with various factors, there is more bleeding, the mood is too bad, which is not conducive to the recovery of the wound, and the medicine used is also a patchwork of earthwork, and the result of this disease is to continue for more than a month, during which the wound is suppurated, complicated by inflammation, and fever and nonsense, it is really unclear.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have that kind of affection between men and women for her, he didn't ignore her, and often came to pay attention to her injuries. This is also something that cannot be helped, the temporary doctor is also a doctor, and the problem of the wounded must be completely solved.

The straw curtain hanging in the middle of the house was removed unconsciously, because of Zhang Yingxian's injury, Zhu Yuanzhang often had to open the straw curtain to come and see her, coming and going, whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang or Qiu Ye, they all felt that it was very troublesome to block a straw curtain in the house, sometimes it was clear that she could see how her complexion was from a long distance, but she had to lift the straw curtain and walk closer, troublesome?

One day, when Zhang Yingxian was still asleep, the autumn leaves with quick hands and feet took off the straw curtain, and when Zhang Yingxian woke up, she suddenly felt that the side was much brighter, and her half of the cave was no longer as dark and cold as before, but there was warm sunlight spilling in, and the grass curtain in the original house was gone......

If it was Zhang Yingxian before the injury, I was afraid that she had jumped up three feet high, and asked the maids to hurry up and make up a new one, but now she didn't pay attention to this kind of trivial matter, she just muttered: "It turns out that the curtain is gone......" and then there is no follow-up, and since then, she has never mentioned the matter of the straw curtain.

After there is no curtain, some things are actually quite inconvenient, for example, once Autumn Leaves helped her take off her clothes and took a wet cloth to wipe her body, just at this time Zhu Yuanzhang came back to the cave, without the grass curtain, Zhu Yuanzhang only needs to tilt her head slightly, and she can see her mutton fat white jade-like body. Zhang Yingxian wanted to quickly grab her clothes to cover them, but she was surprised to find that Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes didn't come to her at all, and she was completely unattractive to him when she was naked......

Zhang Yingxian's hand to grab the clothes couldn't help but hang down, and she even thought to herself a little: I won't hide it, I don't believe you really don't look at it!

She couldn't believe the facts, Zhu Yuanzhang never turned his eyes from beginning to end!

One day, a villager suddenly sent a big wooden barrel, it turned out that this villager before joining the cottage, is a cooper, ancestral hand-held hoop barrel ability, he didn't expect to send this barrel, but his daughter-in-law gave him an opinion: "Sister-in-law is seriously injured and bedridden, can't go to the stream in the back mountain to bathe...... A noble person like my sister-in-law, can I do it without taking a bath? Boss, you give your sister-in-law a bath bucket, Zhu Bugs has helped us so much, we have been unable to repay us, and it is also appropriate to send a bucket. ”

So, a large bucket half a person high and a diameter of one zhang was placed in front of Zhang Yingxian's bed.

For this big vat, Zhang Yingxian is full of like, the cooper's daughter-in-law just guessed her mind, bedridden for a month, can't take a bath, this is really a bit difficult for Miss Everyone, she feels that her hair has a bad smell, and her body is mixed with the smell of sweat and herbs, she can't wipe it with a damp cloth, and she will go crazy if she doesn't take a bath.

Zhang Yingxian hurriedly asked the maids to go to the stream in the back mountain to fetch water, and a dozen or so maids trotted a few laps, and everyone ran out of breath, so they filled the half-human-high wooden barrel with water, and then boiled hot water to mix it in, and got the water temperature to the right level.

Zhang Yingxian was about to flip into the bucket and soak in the ...... At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang came back.

Zhang Yingxian thought that he would be as before, he had no interest in her, he didn't even look at her, and she didn't hide her body in any way, and crawled into the bucket generously.

Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Don't go into the bucket, just stand outside and wash!" ”

Zhang Yingxian was first shocked in her heart, and then she rose with a kind of triumphant victory, don't you look at it? As a result, you are afraid that you will not see me when I enter the barrel, and you want me to stand outside and take a bath...... It's all pretended if you don't look at it, hum, man!

As soon as her thoughts arrived, she saw Zhu Yuanzhang turn his head and walk out of the cave again, and said as he walked: "I heard that the cooper gave you a bath bucket, and I knew that you were going to be stupid, so hurry back for a trip, there is an injury in the abdomen, you really want to soak in the water?" It's not like you looking for death! The wound can only be bathed after two months of scarring, and now you can only shower, let the maids wash you with a small bucket of water. ”

"Scare?" Zhang Yingxian was flustered, and after a long time, this man told me not to enter the bucket, but this is what it means, doesn't he want me to stand outside and let him see?

Obviously, it's really not, Zhu Yuanzhang has already walked out of the cave, and he hasn't even looked back during this time.

Zhang Yingxian's beautiful eyes widened, standing by the barrel, and the whole person was stunned: "This person, why did you force me to be her wife?" What exactly am I doing here? ”

---------------

In the more than a month that Zhang Yingxian has been treated, a lot of changes have taken place in the cottage. The weapons collected from the officers and soldiers last time have been distributed to the soldiers, and the old first and second teams, which have the strongest combat effectiveness, now use serious weapons and no longer use sharpened wooden sticks. Their spears had iron tips, and a small number of soldiers used their pistles.

This word must be very unfamiliar to everyone, but if you look at this idiom - "return to the feather", everyone will suddenly understand.

The spear is a kind of spear in the era of cold weapons in China, and its difference from ordinary spears is that at the lower part of the spear tip, two ears are protruded, making the spear tip look like a cross. In fact, this kind of weapon has not been adopted by the army since the Han Dynasty, but due to the chaos of armament at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers often built some strange weapons to use, so a small amount of guns also fell into the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang.

This weapon is actually better than a spear, and the most important thing is the two extra ears.

A spear stabs a person, generally speaking, a certain depth is enough to be fatal, but on the battlefield, because the two sides rush close to each other, the spear stabs, it is easy to stab the other party through the heart, the front chest is pierced, and the back is pierced. Although this looks remarkable, it is actually not beneficial, because after the spear pierces the opponent, it is difficult to pull it out again, and the spear that is several meters long, how far does it have to retreat before it can be drawn?

Therefore, the use of a spear actually only requires a small stab into the opponent's body, to the extent that it is fatal, then stop moving forward, quickly pull out and stab the next spear...... The extra two ears of the weapon can ensure that the spear does not pass through after stabbing the opponent to death. Only stab to a certain depth, and then stop.

This kind of weapon can be said to be an authentic murder weapon, and it is not at the same level as a sharpened wooden stick.

After these spears and guns were equipped with the old first and second teams, Zhu Yuanzhang's army quality was once again raised to a higher level. Due to the defeat of the officers and soldiers, the morale of the soldiers in the village is also very high, and everyone has a lot of expectations for the future, and some of them are bold, and they are even fantasizing about one day rushing out of Huanglong Mountain and occupying the city.

Inspired by this spirit, the soldiers worked very hard during training, practiced martial arts diligently, and obeyed orders respectfully, which made them look very energetic.

After being detained for more than half a month, the more than 50 officers and men who were captured by them surrendered one after another, promising to fall into the grass and become cowards. In fact, this point is also expected by Zhu Yuanzhang, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the loyalty of officers and soldiers to the imperial court was actually very low, not to mention that a large number of officers and soldiers later surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, let's just say that before the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the military households of the Ming Dynasty have actually been fleeing. As the saying goes, a good man is not a soldier, the status of military households in the Ming Dynasty is too low, and it is said that many military households choose to run away, preferring to be homeless people rather than officers and soldiers.

In this general environment, it is strange that these officers and soldiers do not surrender, and it is impossible for them to choose to die rather than give in in order to keep the identity of an officer and soldier who is not very good, right?

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had seen the changes of the world in the sky and the overthrow of the kingdom, knew deeply that what kind of patriotic education and other things were false, and you had to let a person fight for you, it was nothing more than coercion and temptation, and the so-called coercion was to use survival as the premise to make him fight, for example, the soldiers in his hands now are all because they can't survive, so they will rebel. As for the lure, it is actually to give them a good life, and they will throw their heads and spill their blood in order to keep what they currently have.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the problem of soldiers' loyalty and general defection was not solved by patriotic education, but should improve the status of the soldiers and give them more favorable treatment, so that they felt that they were not only fighting for the country and the people, but most importantly, they were also fighting for themselves, so that they could really give full play to their combat effectiveness.

Zhu Yuanzhang plans to reuse these surrendered officers and soldiers in the future, and they are at least better than a group of displaced people. However, at present, they have just surrendered, and they are not yet able to take on their responsibilities.

These 50 officers and soldiers were separated by Zhu Yuanzhang and incorporated into more than 50 groups between the old first team and the old eighth team, so that they could not form a joint relationship with each other, and the next thing was to slowly influence them, so that they could feel that living in the cottage was happier than under the rule of the imperial court...... That's how you can really make them their own.

One day more than a month later, the sentry guarding the gate of the cottage suddenly shouted loudly: "Second Brother Wang is back...... Second Brother Wang is back......"

The people who heard the shouts of the sentry went to the edge of the cliff to take a look, and saw that Bai Shui Wang Er dragged a big wild boar with both hands, a human head on his left waist, and a simple knife on his right waist, and walked up slowly along the path up the mountain.
