Zhu Xieyuan was carried back by more than a thousand rattan armor soldiers, not injured, but tired.

Escape from Fengcheng to Nanchang, a hundred miles, no more, no less, a total of ten rivers of all sizes!

With this kind of ghost terrain, if the northern cavalry crosses the river, you can imagine how desperate it is.

It is particularly convenient for those rattan armor soldiers to cross the river, because the rattan armor is waterproof and fireproof, and can float in the river and be directly converted into life jackets.

Zhao Han's armory is also making rattan armor.

Because Zhao Han's military formation imitates the Qi family's army, among them, the rattan player is very important. The reason why it is called rattan is because the shield belongs to the rattan brand, which is lighter and more defensive than the wooden shield, and is exactly the same as the material used to make rattan armor.

This thing is in a hurry, and you have to choose the yellow vine in the mountains and soak it repeatedly for more than a year before you can really start making it.

Zhu Xieyuan fled back to Nanchang, and it was already the afternoon of the next day, and he immediately ordered to collect the rout troops who had fled.

When he saw the Jiangxi sailor leaning against the shore, he hurriedly called Zhu Guoxun to ask: "Mr. Zhu, has the thief's sailor shown up?" ”

"There seems to be an anti-thief sailor cruising around." Zhu Guoxun replied ambiguously.

Hearing this answer, Zhu Xieyuan was furious, and wanted to pull out Shang Fang's sword and kill Zhu Guoxun on the spot with one sword!

Forcibly suppressing the anger emotion, Zhu Xieyuan admonished: "The sailor must always be on guard against anti-thieves attacking Nanchang. ”

"Obey the orders of the Commander." Zhu Guoxun knew that he was at a loss and behaved very respectfully.

After another two days, Zhu Xieyuan only collected more than 2,000 defeated troops.

On the Datong Army's side, including the wounded officers and soldiers, only more than 7,000 prisoners were captured.

As for the remaining 20,000 officers and soldiers, of course, not all of them died. Most of them fled directly back to their hometowns, unwilling to fight for the imperial court anymore, and even if they were forcibly conscripted into the army in the future, they would definitely be ready to slip away anytime and anywhere.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

In the Governor's Palace, Zhu Xieyuan hid and coughed, he didn't dare to let people know that he was sick.

An old man in his seventies was carried across ten rivers, and it was no wonder that he was blistered and sunburned. Historically, Zhu Xieyuan would die of illness in Guizhou in two years, but now he is just sick in another place.

……

Hu Dinggui slept for half a day and a night, and due to a leg injury, he stayed on Lion Rock without chasing the enemy.

Filling his stomach, Hu Dinggui carried a spear and limped to the wounded barracks: "What happened to Lao Chen?" ”

The doctor in the army is changing Chen Fugui's medicine: "I have been waking up from a fever, and it depends on him whether he can live or not." ”

The wound on Chen Fugui's abdomen, the intestines are faintly visible. Fortunately, the cotton armor blocked the force, and the intestines were not punctured, but the wound infection was very fatal.

Zhao Han also didn't know much medical knowledge, and for the wounded in the army, he only asked people to prepare highly distilled liquor in advance, emphasizing that the bandages to bandage the wounds must be boiled in boiling water. As for the rest, it can only be handed over to the ancient trauma doctors, but the gold sore medicine has always been effective.

Hu Dinggui sat in front of Chen Fugui for a while, and then went to comfort the other wounded.

In the battle of Lion Rock, there were only more than 400 casualties, but the total number of casualties was more than 1,000. There were only more than 5,000 men in the whole army, and the casualty rate was as high as 25 percent, and all of them were injured in battle, unlike many officers and men who were injured by falls when they fled.

"Ahh

There was a scream from the tent next door, and Hu Dinggui went over with a spear, but saw that the doctor was sawing the leg of a wounded man.

It was a soldier who had been grazed on his calf by a shell, and it was said to be a bruise, but in fact a large piece of flesh was gone. Although the wound was wiped with alcohol and the gold sore medicine was quickly applied, the hot and humid weather for several days still caused the wound to ulcerate in a large area. It was terrible, and in order to save his life, the calf had to be sawed off.

Hu Dinggui came to the edge of the cliff and silently looked at the field in the distance.

"You've got a leg injury, don't move around." Xiao Zongxian didn't know when he came behind him.

This is Hu Dinggui's old chief, who led them to drag Yang Jiamo's family.

Xiao Zongxian was also quite unlucky, on the fourth day of the fierce battle, he was injured just after the start of the battle, and was hit in the back of the head by the stones splashed by the cannonball. If it weren't for the bamboo helmet, it is estimated that he would have died inexplicably.

Hu Dinggui smiled: "It's okay, I'll just scratch a few wounds, and the flesh is not very deep." ”

Xiao Zongxian took out a pen and paper: "How many did you kill?" How many attacks were repulsed? ”

"I don't know." Hu Dinggui shook his head.

It is said that the battle exploits must be counted every day, but on the fourth day of the fierce battle, the situation was critical and stalemate. Even if the soldiers were replaced to rest, the missionaries and military judges would not be able to disturb them, and they have not been completed until now.

Xiao Zongxian had no choice but to write down the number of injuries Hu Dinggui and discuss with the missionary and military judge when he went back.

The commander, the military judge, and the missionary officer agreed that if the number of individual kills could not be determined, the corpses of the enemy in front of each position would be counted on the heads of the soldiers in that position. Then, the military merits are calculated according to the importance of the position and the intensity of the fierce battle.

After another two days, a lightly injured person like Hu Dinggui could already go down the mountain on his own.

The group made stretchers, carefully carried the seriously wounded, and went to a temple at the bottom of the mountain to recuperate.

The people who had taken refuge in the mountains had already returned home one after another, and the rice fields that had not had time to be harvested were also being harvested.

Hu Dinggui looked at the peasants, and suddenly laughed, and the wounds on his body didn't seem to hurt anymore.

In the afternoon of the same day.

The mission group organizes condolence performances, which are becoming more and more professional, and many of them are former actors and prostitutes. They would sing small songs and big operas, and officials, soldiers and civilians loved this kind of program.

Hu Dinggui came to the nearby threshing floor, and the stage had been set up.

The title of this scene is called "Qingjiang Yue", which is adapted from the story of last year's peasant and soldier bloody war family Ding, and the character based on Hu Dinggui belongs to the male number three.

The male number one is Yang Mo, a missionary who died in battle, and there is only one word difference from the villain Yang Jiamo.

The second male is Xiao Zongxian, who commanded the battle.

At the beginning, an actress came out and sang about the happy life after the division of the fields in Yiyang dialect. is no longer a drama form, and most of the performances have now been changed to Jiangxi opera that the actors are familiar with.

Singing and singing, the officers and soldiers suddenly came, burning and looting everywhere, the people fled in panic, and the heroine's parents were also killed.

The actor who plays the villain Yang Jiamo walked on stage and laughed arrogantly, and then had a monologue and a solo.

"Kill the dog officer!"

"Kill!"

“……”

In Zhao Han's opinion, the villain solo is very dramatic, but the soldiers are indignant at the moment, and some even want to rush up and beat the actors.

This kind of emotion was already brewing to the peak of boiling when the missionary Mr. Yang died.

Some of the soldiers yelled and cursed, and some of the soldiers wept bitterly.

Huang Mi had to organize a military team and reprimand those who were agitated to sit down, otherwise someone would definitely rush to the stage to make trouble.

At the end of this scene, it is not to repel the officers and soldiers, but to play the actor Zhao Han, and send the martyrs to the Hall of the Heroic Soul to worship.

After venting their emotions, the soldiers began to chatter.

Xiao Zongxian squeezed his eyebrows at Hu Dinggui and asked, "Is the Saisai girl beautiful?" ”

Hu Dinggui shook his head and said, "I sat too far away to see clearly." ”

Xiao Zongxian said in a low voice: "I've seen it closely, it's as beautiful as a fairy." My sons are both two years old, you can't break the rules, you kid can try. ”

"Try what?" Hu Dinggui asked blankly.

"Marry the Saisai girl," Xiao Zongxian instigated, "I have inquired, this Saisai girl is only eighteen years old, and she is only two years older than you." You have been praised by the head of the town, and you have a great future in the future, and you are talented and beautiful with this Saisai girl. ”

Hu Dinggui hurriedly shook his head, blushed and said, "I...... I'll get married in a few years. ”

"Hey, you're really elm head." Xiao Zongxian felt that he was playing the piano to the cow.

On the stage, although he only became good last year, he has only joined the mission group for a short time. But she is beautiful and sings very well, and she has been sought after by countless soldiers and ordinary people.

After the performance, Pan Saisai was removing his makeup, and suddenly heard someone behind him: "Xiao Pan, go to the countryside of Nanchang County to perform in a few days, and you will star in "The White-Haired Girl". ”

"Nanchang County is not our territory, right?" Pan Saisai was surprised.

The head of the troupe said: "Nanchang County is forming a peasant association, and we are the closest to there, and I have just received the order. ”

Nanchang Fucheng and Nanchang County are not the same city, and they are about ten miles apart.

Since he failed to capture Nanchang Mansion in the first place, Zhao Han would not spend his troops to attack. Instead, peasant associations were formed in the counties of Nanchang Prefecture, and the rural areas were occupied first, and then the Datong Army had just won a great victory, and the officers and soldiers and landlords certainly did not dare to attack the members of the peasant associations.

The peasant associations not only recruited tenants, but also small landlords and yeoman farmers, and mainly did the following tasks: uniting tenants to reduce rents and interest rates, and abolishing unfairness such as barrel noodles and winter livestock. Small landlords and yeoman farmers do not pay harsh taxes to the government. Landlords were forced to release domestic slaves and converted them into short-term employment contracts.

The peasant movement was not violent, and remained within the limits of the tolerance of the government and the gentry, which was backed by the force of the Datong army.

In just two or three months, the small landlords, yeoman farmers, tenants, and domestic slaves will taste the sweetness and will no longer be willing to fight for the government. At that time, Zhu Xieyuan will not be able to levy troops in Nanchang Mansion, and I am afraid that he will not even be able to levy a few stones of food.

As for the land expansion, it is dominated by southern Gansu.

Now Zhao Han, Pang Chunlai, Li Banghua and others have explored development routines.

That is, the experienced adjutant (county officer, chief bookkeeper, etc.) will be appointed as the prefect of the new territory. He was then transferred to an experienced officer as an adjutant to the new territory. The original site will be promoted according to political performance and seniority to fill the vacancy after being transferred.

There is no shortage of officials, and the more they are trained, the more they are cultivated, and what is lacking now is an official position!

After the victory of the Ganzhou War, the city of Ganzhou must be taken, mainly to alleviate the salt shortage and reduce the price of salt.

Shen Youlong has been unable to stop Guangyan from going north, and Ganzhou has always been stuck. After the occupation of Ganzhou, the cheap and beautiful Guangyan continued to import energy, which suddenly alleviated Zhao Han's financial dilemma.

At the same time, it was necessary to occupy Yudu County, which is next door to Ganzhou.

In this way, the saltpeter mine in Ningdu County can be transported down the river, from Yudu to Ganzhou, and then from Ganzhou to Ji'an. As a result, the cost of purchasing saltpeter ore was greatly reduced, and more gunpowder could be produced in the future.

Ganzhou City, at this time, has not been able to take it.

After the defeat of Chen Ting, the general army of Fujian, the 3,000 Fujian soldiers who were responsible for defending the city had to release the governor Zou Weilian and ask Zou Weilian to take them to defend Ganzhou.
