He Jiugong was stunned for a moment, but he listened to Qiu Yizhi continue: "I don't have to worry about this matter. Of course, my subordinate Xiang Yong can't be crammed into this warehouse, and I have already discussed with Mr. Lin, 'Mr. Bansong', to borrow his manor for the time being. There are only about 200 people on my side, and the space is full. ”

When He Jiugong heard this, he nodded, of course he had nothing to say.

Qiu Yizhi said to Liu Qing again: "Liu Jiedu, you are the military commander here, and there are two other things that are also extremely important, and they must be handled by you." ”

Liu Qing heard Qiu Yizhi call him, hurriedly stepped forward, and arched his hand: "If there is anything, just let the adults tell you." ”

The merchants who accompanied him all the way were all well-known and seen in Jinling City, and even if they wanted to break their heads, they couldn't figure out why the dignified Jiangnan Provincial Jiedu envoy of the general of Sanpin wanted to listen to the order of the seven-pin small county of Shanyin County - although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't dare to ask openly.

But I heard Qiu Yizhi say: "This large group of men and horses is stationed in the city, especially since there are so many wounded soldiers, one is to pay attention to preventing the occurrence of plague, and the other is that military discipline is also extremely important." I think it's very good here, these days, these reinforcements coming into the city are here to rest and recuperate, and don't run around. General Liu, you can allocate another 500 to 1,000 soldiers in Jinling City to guard around this side to prevent chaos among soldiers and horses from other places. Military doctors should also be mobilized outside the city to heal the injuries and illnesses of these people as soon as possible. ”

Liu Qing listened and nodded in agreement.

Qiu Yizhi continued: "Also, you are the envoy of Jiangnan Province, not the general of Jinling City. The pirates have only been killed and dispersed, but they have not been completely wiped out, and they have always been a scourge when they wander to other places. Now that the garrisons and regimental training in various places have gathered under the city, I am afraid that all localities will not be able to encircle and suppress each other, so how to deal with this, you must plan earlier. ”

When Liu Qing heard this, he said with a sad face: "How is this good, and please help me come up with ideas." ”

Qiu Yizhi said: "I'm just reminding me, and I really don't have an idea now." However, now that the Japanese have been severely damaged, they will not launch any more large-scale attacks anytime soon. All you have to do is order the localities to guard the city and appease the local order. As for the long-term plan, you can submit a letter to General Cui or the Ministry of War, asking him to come up with a charter, and you can act according to the rules and regulations at that time. ”

Although Qiu Yizhi did not propose a way to deal with the Japanese invaders, his few expedient measures were enough for Liu Qing to make a difference, which made Liu Qing nod his head incessantly.

Qiu Yizhi explained a few more words to Liu Qing, and when he saw that it was getting late, he took his cronies Xiang Yong and went to Lin Shuhan's manor.

When he entered the city, Lin Shuhan had already taken the time to send someone to his manor and inform the housekeeper that the courtyard needed to be cleaned and ready to be prepared.

The housekeeper in the garden is Lin Shuhan's old man, and when he heard his order, he immediately called his subordinates to call people and others, and cleaned it up, and when Lin Shuhan, Qiu Yizhi and others came to the manor by night, the whole manor was already very neatly and cleanly.

However, the housekeeper only thought that Lin Shuhan came back to live temporarily, and brought three or five friends at most, but he didn't expect that he actually led more than 200 people into the garden, as if he wanted to turn this very quiet and elegant manor into a military camp!

In fact, the manor where Lin Shuhan lives is very large, and although there are not many houses, there is a lot of open space on the edge of the pond and at the foot of the rockery, so that the two hundred villagers of Qiu Yizhi can live enough. Fortunately, after today's bloody battle, Shanyin Xiangyong did not suffer any major losses, and he did not lose much in tents, bedding, marching pots and other things. So Qiu Yizhi ordered his soldiers to camp and rest on the spot, and specially ordered not to disturb the grass and trees in this courtyard, let alone bury pots and cook and spoil the scenery in the courtyard.

Qiu Yizhi's instructions were serious, but Lin Shuhan didn't think so, and said coldly: "Feel free, so many people come in, people eat horses and chew, where can there be no destruction?" Beware of those who are careless and do not move, so be it. ”

Qiu Yizhi had always known Lin Shuhan's perverse and mean temper - except for Wu Ruofei, no one could restrain him, but his confidante did not come over - so he had to follow Lin Shuhan's words and said: "What Mr. Lin said is that when I have money another day, I will definitely give Mr. another garden." ”

"Then Lin will inherit the good intentions of adults!" Uncle Lin replied tepidly.

Qiu Yizhi didn't answer, and seeing that the hour was not early, it was too late to cook by himself, so he asked someone to order thousands of steamed buns from the steamed bun shop that was still open in Jinling City and sent them to the manor.

This is a big business, the owner of the steamed bun shop took this order, as if the general leading the army met a strong enemy at a glance, re-ordered the manpower, and the noodles and noodles, the fire of the fire, the filling of the filling, and the steamer of the steamer, it took two hours before and after to send a whole thousand steamed buns to Lin Shuhan's manor.

At this time, most of the soldiers brought into the city by Qiu Yizhi were hungry and sleepy, and many of them had slept in their clothes, and suddenly smelled the refreshing aroma of the buns, and immediately jumped up, and after a great meal, after all, they were still unable to resist the attack of the sleepy insects, and closed their eyes and fell asleep again.

Yesterday there was a fierce battle, everyone was extremely tired, until the next day was about to pass, but the military camp temporarily set up in Lin Shuhan's manor was still silent, only a few snoring sounds were occasionally heard.

Therefore, when Zhao Chengxiao, who had finished cleaning the battlefield overnight, entered the courtyard, and when he saw this scene, he immediately came out of anger and reprimanded loudly: "Bastard! I've only been away for less than half a day, and you dare to be so lazy? When is it and still sleeping? Don't get up and line up right away! ”

Who knew that these townsmen were sleeping soundly under exhaustion, except for the townsmen in the few tents in front of them who heard Zhao Chengxiao's scolding and hurriedly came out to line up, the rest of the people didn't hear it, and they were still sleeping in the tents.

Seeing this, Zhao Chengxiao became more and more angry, and pulled the "black-necked toad" beside him, and ordered: "You kid has a loud voice, wake them all up for me!" ”

"Black-necked toad" has worked hard all day, he has not had time to rest, seeing others sleeping solidly, his heart is envious and jealous, listening to Zhao Tou's instructions, he immediately pulled his throat and shouted: "Get up!" It's time to line up! Get up! It's time to line up! Get up! It's time to line up! ”

His shouts were louder and louder, as if a tsunami was coming, as if a landslide and the ground cracked, not only did he wake up all the villagers who lived in the tent, but even Qiu Yizhi, Lin Shuhan, Wei Chi Jiming, Wen Lingjiao and others who lived far away in the courtyard were also shouted, and a few soldiers who were sleeping in a daze did not hear the content of the shouting clearly, but only thought that the enemy was coming, and walked out with knives and red eyes.

Qiu Yizhi came out of the courtyard, and it took a long time to figure out what the situation was, and while sorting out his clothes, he said to Zhao Chengxiao with a smile: "Brother Zhao, you see that the brothers were tired from a bloody battle yesterday, so it is better to let them rest for a day first...... Or half a day, after rejuvenation? ”

Zhao Chengxiao replied with a serious face: "My lord, once this kind of thing is relaxed, it will be difficult to tighten it again." On the battlefield, the enemy army does not care whether they are tired or injured, and there will be no mercy under their hands! ”

Zhao Chengxiao's words are indeed in line with the way of military training, so that Qiu Yizhi can't refute it, so he said: "Brother Zhao's words are reasonable. Since I entrusted the training and command of these soldiers to Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao just let it go. ”

So Zhao Chengxiao ordered all the people and horses, and did not wait for the villagers to have breakfast, so he asked two trustworthy soldiers under his command to lead them to run around Lin Shuhan's garden, and did not say how many laps he ran, nor how many times he ran, but he said to Qiu Yizhi: "My lord, I have cleaned the battlefield overnight, and I ask my lord to borrow a step to talk about some things." ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded, and Lin Shuhan chose a small pavilion on the edge of the pond together, ordered someone to make tea, and asked Zhao Chengxiao to report the situation.

I saw Zhao Chengxiao take out a palm-sized note from his arms, on which a few lines of handwriting were written crookedly that others could not understand, and said against it: "In this battle, our army killed and injured a total of 305 Japanese soldiers......

Qiu Yizhi frowned and said, "Brother Zhao, I can see clearly on the top of the city wall, it seems that I didn't kill so much, right?" ”

Zhao Chengxiao explained: "There are about 150 people killed and injured on the spot, and most of the rest were injured and hid in houses outside the city, and we searched them. Eight or nine of my brothers were wounded in order to get these people. Therefore, we have also captured twenty-two Japanese prisoners, and we don't know what to do with them, so we ask your lord to show them. ”

Qiu Yizhi thought for a while, but said: "This matter is not in a hurry, more than 20 widows will not be able to eat much food even if they raise them for three or five more days." Brother Zhao, please continue. ”

Zhao Chengxiao nodded and said, "The losses of our army are not serious, and none of them have been killed, and the adults have already heard about this." Even the friendly forces suffered heavy casualties, and the total number of corpses we sorted out from the battlefield was 2,643, and some of them were stumps and broken arms, which were difficult to count. ”

Qiu Yizhi calculated in his heart: Yesterday he was under Jinling City, and according to statistics, there were always about 10,000 reinforcements, and now there are more than 3,000 people who have entered Jinling City to rest, plus more than 2,000 corpses, the total number is only 6,000 people, and I am afraid that there are still 3,000 or 4,000 people who have deserted and fled separately when they saw the fierceness of the enemy army.

In fact, this is also human nature, the defeat of the army, whether there is a general restraint, the army is dead and fleeing is really a common thing, so Qiu Yizhi took a sip of tea and said: "Brother Zhao, although these friendly troops are not strong enough to fight, they have become ghosts under the sword of the Japanese in vain. However, after all, they are also Han soldiers, and they also died to defend Jinling, so they can't be blasphemed and lazy, and they must also be buried with heart. ”

Zhao Chengxiao nodded vigorously after listening to Qiu Yizhi's words, and asked again: "What about the corpses of those widows?" ”

Qiu Yizhi frowned, and wanted to say in his heart: These robbers kill innocents indiscriminately, they are really inferior to beasts, and they are all thrown into the field to feed the dogs and wolves! In the end, he endured it and said: "They are also a life, wait for me to discuss with the two adults of the assassin Shi and Jiedu, and burn the fire to ashes and throw it into the Yangtze River." ”

Although Zhao Chengxiao is soft-hearted, he is not a person who does not distinguish between good and evil, and he was very relieved when he heard Qiu Yizhi's words, and said: "This is good, bring it back and I will ask someone to set up a pyre." However, although the Japanese are bastards, the Japanese knives are still good. This time, we picked up more than 300 Japanese knives on the battlefield, and there were 184 damaged and missing blades, and there were many good knives in them. ”

Qiu Yizhi pondered for a moment and said, "Okay." You pick a few of the best from the inside, make up for the sabers lost by our army first, and then choose ten to send to me, and Liu Qing asked me for a few swords, I am now his subordinate, and it is not easy to refute his face. ”
