"Paid land, ten acres, unable to work for the author to plough on behalf of the author, 30 years of tax exemption......" Li Lao's face was still weak and pale, and the one-handed hand turned over and held a piece of paper stamped with the bright red seal of "King Min's Son", and looked at it carefully, the pain of the broken arm seemed to be ignored, and he just muttered to himself.

Zhu Yongxing brought not only morale, hope and victory to the Ming army, but also changes and increases in the means of healing. Soldering iron to stop bleeding or disinfection, wound suturing, pepper salt water, high wine sterilization and disinfection, ulceration with maggots...... Some of them were created by Zhu Yongxing, and some of them were ancient, but there were very few military doctors in the army at that time, and they did not pay enough attention to ambulance.

A soldier with quick hands and feet and a smart brain can master those simple treatment methods after a few days of training. Although the methods of these guys are really not flattering, the wounds that are stitched are twisted and crooked, and they are miserable; Despite these primitive and simple methods, nearly half of the seriously injured still lose their lives; Although some of the treatment process was extremely painful for the wounded, the heart-rending howls made people feel like they were in a slaughterhouse......

But it is undeniable that these frightening scenes were normal before the invention of anesthetics. Moreover, it is true that there are many wounded who were destined to die before who have picked up a life, and Li Laobo, who had half of his arm cut off in battle, is one of the lucky ones. He didn't lose too much blood and died on the battlefield, he didn't die of pain during the operation, he survived the infection period (which was the most common at the time), and God didn't agree to say that he was unlucky.

It's just that now, Li Laobo still doesn't feel how lucky he is, at least he still has doubts. One hand is gone, although it is said that life can still take care of oneself and ordinary labor can be engaged, but in the end it still casts a shadow on the future life. There is also this salary land and meritorious field, ten acres of land is regarded as military salary, and ten acres of land is used as a meritorious reward, which looks like a lot, but it is not a cake, how many are possible to achieve?

Twenty acres of land, a cow, a few grass houses, a wife, and a few babies...... This used to be the highest ideal of Li Laobo. It's just that the war is far away, either marching or fighting, and it has experienced hardships and hardships, and the former longing has long been forgotten. All that's left is to think about how to survive, how to live longer.

Now, Li Laobo gently raised his arm, which had no hand, and looked at it, revealing an unspeakable wry smile. became a cripple and was about to quit the army, but the land and meritorious field evoked that long-term hope.

As soon as the tent curtain was lifted, several Ming soldiers walked in, all of them were his good robes, and greeted him with a smile.

"What's going on, old man."

"It looks like you can't die, it's a good thing!"

"I'll just say that the old stuffy man is hard, and you still don't believe it."

…………

When Li Lao saw his friend, he immediately put aside his tangled thoughts and responded with a smile.

"Paid land tickets, and meritorious fields-" A Ming soldier snatched the piece of paper in Lao Bo's hand, swept it casually, and raised it in his hand shouting, "Twenty acres of land, Lao Bo'er doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking now." ”

"Don't worry about eating and drinking, it's not a shadowless thing." Li Lao shook his head and said disapprehantly: "I look like this, I can give a mouthful of food, and if I don't throw it away, I will burn high incense." ”

"Why are you so pitiful?" A soldier with a scar on his face laughed and said, "You, you didn't listen to the missionary about the benefits of Annan." There is barren land everywhere, not to mention ten acres and twenty acres, that is how much there is. I heard that there have been decades of fighting, and the men are almost dead, but the women are grabbing a handful. ”

"yes, yes." A Ming soldier with a face full of excitement hurriedly added: "Because there are few men, those Annan women have to rob if they want to marry out, and they will rob when they see men." Old boring, you can be careful, don't let people rob your home and go to the church to get married when you get to Annan! ”

"Pure nonsense, I still have someone to rob like this?" Li Lao laughed sullenly and raised his disabled arm for everyone to see.

"Isn't there a hand missing, isn't it still good for you to use it underneath?" The scar-faced soldier laughed evilly and teased: "Otherwise, if the woman who robbed the kiss is beautiful, you don't resist, and you can follow the others obediently." ”

"That's it, don't be bored when the time comes, if it's not pretty, get a few first. I heard that Annan women are very capable, and if they raise a few wives, you don't have to worry about farming. ”

Several Ming soldiers joked nonsense, both expecting and longing, and comforting Li Laobo on the other hand, diluting his sorrow after being disabled.

"Is it really that good?" Li Laobo didn't believe it at first, but he was also a little shaken at this time.

"What His Highness said is still false?" A Ming army who looked like a petty officer looked very determined, and said: "We will set off with the team tomorrow and go to Annam." You don't know what to do, those soldiers who were temporarily left under the command of His Royal Highness King Zhao are all very red-eyed! ”

"So, we're all going to Annam, and we can see each other often?" Li Lao was happy, he had acquaintances, and he would not be lonely and lonely when he arrived in Annan.

"That's nature." The scar-faced soldier smiled, patted Li Lao's shoulder gently, and said, "The missionary said that you disabled veterans must first tell your daughter-in-law to start a family." We'll have to wait a while. Old boring, you're a blessing in disguise. I didn't expect it, but I had to drink your stuffy gourd first. ”

……………

Is it that good? Liu Zuochen, director of the Department of Missionary Education, picked up the materials written by Zhu Yongxing again and read them, and was very puzzled. Going east to Annam is not like a foothold in a war, it is as simple as an armed parade. Fields, women, these are indeed very tempting to soldiers, but I don't know if they are true or false.

Hey, whatever, His Highness writes like this, and I teach him like this. Liu Zuochen smiled bitterly, carefully put away the materials, and put them in the box for preservation.

As a civil official and a household servant, Liu Zuochen's knowledge is naturally good. And this mission department is a new department created by Zhu Yongxing, what level of the director is, and how much authority he has, even Liu Zuochen is not very clear. It was only when he saw Zhu Yongxing's hard work and the re-energizing of the Ming army that he was touched in his heart, so he endured the white eyes of others and took the initiative to assume this position.

Although the army is needed in times of national crisis, the status of military personnel is very low, and it is even more despised by civilian officials. After Liu Zuochen served as the director, he dealt with the soldiers all day long, and immediately became an outlier in the eyes of civil officials, scolding him for insulting Sven and dishonoring his dignity......
