Chapter 157: Zhu Chubby: After the calf, I may have to be the prince for the rest of my life.
After resting for a day and a night, Zhu Zhangui's spirit and physical strength have also recovered a lot.
After talking to the old man and eating some mutton, he was dragged to the wounded barracks by the chief army medical officer who was so anxious that he jumped to his feet.
One to the place.
Bursts of painful wails continued to echo in my ears.
A Ming soldier with severed hands and feet and large and small wounds on his body was lying on the marching bed, looking at the tent above his head with empty eyes, listening to the sound of rain outside.
If you can't stand the pain once in a while, you grit your teeth and hum a few times.
The wounded barracks are a place where the generals of the unified army generally do not come during the war.
It's not that they don't care about these wounded soldiers, but the painful wails of these wounded soldiers can easily affect their minds and disturb their judgment of the whole battle situation.
So until the end of the war, the general commander will not come to the wounded barracks.
"How many wounded!"
Zhu Zhangui rolled up his sleeves, took out the small gourd he was carrying, poured some wine, washed his hands, and asked the chief military medical officer behind him while checking the condition of a soldier with a broken arm.
"There are more than 5,300 people, of which more than 2,000 are seriously injured and may be left disabled."
The general military medical officer of the lightly wounded did not say that in the case of a shortage of medicines, the kind of people who can walk and move, under normal circumstances, will let them return to their camps to wait for examination.
"It's His Royal Highness Taisun!"
The wounded, who were silently waiting for death, saw Zhu Zhangui who was examining the wounded soldiers, and they were excited to stand up one by one.
"Everyone lie down well, you can rest assured, with me, I will definitely cure you, and you must not give up."
Zhu Zhangui loudly soothed the emotions of the wounded soldiers.
"Your Highness, can my leg be saved?"
Next to him, a wounded soldier whose leg was cut off from his knee, hugged his leg that was still oozing blood, and looked at Zhu Zhangui expectantly.
Zhu Zhangui stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
"I have a special job for you in Jingshi, three meals a day, and a lot of wages, and the money you earn a month is no less than those guys in the shops, and there is a place for your children to study."
Zhu Zhangui looked at the disabled soldier and said with a serious expression: "With me, you will not suffer any grievances!" I won't let any of my brothers shed blood and tears for Daming. ”
The disabled soldiers' eyes were red.
In the past, the imperial court also provided subsidies to wounded soldiers, but most of them were sent away with some food and some money.
What do you have enough food and money for?
Not to mention supporting a family, whether you can survive is a question.
There are even many disabled soldiers who are dependent on their families to support themselves, and later they can't survive anymore and can only go to the streets to beg on the streets.
Thinking about the days to come, their enthusiasm slowly calmed down, looking at the missing hands and feet, worried about their future.
And just when they were desperate, His Royal Highness Taisun came to them and assured them of their future life.
They had also heard of what Zhu Zhangui had done for the disabled soldiers in the Beijing Division, but they had not seen it with their own eyes.
So they didn't think about it at first, but now that Zhu Zhangui personally made a guarantee, they finally let go of the last trace of worry.
After calming the emotions of the disabled soldiers, Zhu Zhangui asked everyone to rest first, and he quickly left the wounded barracks, came to the old man's tent to say hello to the old man, and entered the old man's resting tent.
About an hour later, a full cart rolled into the wounded barracks.
"These are the anti-inflammatory medicines!"
Watching Zhu Zhangui's guards unload boxes of medicine from the car, the body of the chief military medical officer trembled with excitement.
He missed these things so much.
With these medicines, he was able to save most of these wounded soldiers.
"Don't talk nonsense, save people first!"
Zhu Zhangui changed into clean clothes, carried the medicine box to a tent, and asked the guards to carry the wounded soldiers into the tent for treatment according to the severity of the soldiers' injuries.
Yesterday, most of the wounded soldiers stopped bleeding after a simple bandage, but there were too many people to save the military medical officer, so they could only let everyone wait first.
Although the Shenji Battalion sent a few medical officers who could perform simple minor surgeries, their number was too small, and so many people couldn't keep it busy.
Soon, a wounded soldier was carried into a tent and then, after surgery, out again.
The old man came halfway, and when he saw that everyone was busy, he didn't dare to come forward to disturb, and after a few words to the wounded soldiers, he left the wounded barracks.
After a day and a night of busy work by Zhu Zhangui and dozens of military medical officers, the soldiers finally received initial treatment.
Zhu Zhangui wiped the blood on his hands tiredly, and said to the chief military doctor beside him, who also had red circles in his eyes.
"The basic treatment has been completed, and the follow-up is to change the dressing and observation."
"Let the people below watch a little harder, and come and call me at any time if something is wrong."
"They are all the pillars of the family, and if one person falls, the pillar of the family is gone, and we can pull one by one from Lord Yama."
Returning to his tent, Zhu Zhangui simply packed up and went to the old man's military tent.
The rain stopped in the evening.
Although the ground was still a little muddy, it did not affect the joy and celebration of the soldiers.
In addition to the soldiers on duty, the whole place of the barracks was full of soldiers around the fire.
On the shelf of fragrant roasted whole sheep on the fire, the soldiers who shared a small gourd wine held the gourd around the fire, laughing and singing loudly.
The main tent of the center is also full of joy here.
The old man raised his wine glass with a smile on his face, laughing with the generals below, and burst into hearty laughter from time to time.
Just yesterday, Arutai's side finally compromised.
not only promised to release all Han slaves, but also handed over some of his subordinates to confess.
In addition, he compensated 5,000 cattle and sheep, 2,000 war horses, and a number of gold and silver treasures.
Although this money is nothing, the other party's surrendering attitude made the old man very satisfied, and announced a new seal for Arutai on the spot.
After defeating Waramaham, Arutai surrendered again, and Uliangha's side retreated to its original sound, and some other small forces did not dare to take the lead.
It can be said that now the entire grassland is shrouded in the old man's domineering spirit.
"Dad, tonight is your celebration, what is my eldest nephew busy with? Why hasn't it come yet. ”
Zhu Gaoxu, who had taken a few sips of wine, glanced at the vacant position next to Zhu Di, his eyes rolled slightly, and he began to give Zhu Zhangui eye medicine with a smile.
He really didn't know what Zhu Zhangui was doing, he had gone to Arutai with his troops in the past two days, and he only came back this morning, so he didn't know what Zhu Zhangui was doing these days.
"Second brother, you don't know anything."
Without waiting for the old man to speak, Zhu Gaosui explained with a smile.
"Our eldest nephew's skills are not ordinary, people have medical skills in their hands, they have been lying on their stomachs in the wounded barracks for the past two days, saving many brothers, I heard that he is still busy there at noon today, and it is estimated that he has not finished his work over there."
Zhu Gaoxu glared at Zhu Gaosui when he heard this.
What do you mean by that, why do you sound like you're praising that stinky boy?
"I heard the second uncle mention me from afar, we haven't seen each other for a few days, do you miss me."
Just when Zhu Gaoxu was thinking about how to continue to take eye medicine, Zhu Zhangui, who had changed into a regular suit, strode in.
"I've seen His Royal Highness Taisun!"
As soon as Zhu Zhangui arrived, the generals present stood up one after another to salute.
In this northern expedition, Zhu Zhangui's performance impressed the generals present.
In the past, they had only heard of Zhu Zhangui's actions overseas, but they had not seen them with their own eyes. The people who think that Zheng He's fleet may be deliberately exaggerating in order to pat Zhu Zhangui's ass.
But now after a series of battles in the Northern Expedition, they are completely convinced.
Thousands of miles around the run, Warat herdsmen camped in the land.
He led less than 10,000 men to attack the enemy's military camp, laying a perfect foundation for the final victory.
and the Shenji Battalion, which has always been at the forefront of this battle, was also trained by Zhu Zhangui.
This series of performances and battles, not to mention Zhu Zhangui, a young player who is not yet 18 years old, these old guys who have fought all their lives have not achieved such an amazing record.
So unconsciously, when they faced Zhu Zhangui, they were no longer as calm as before, but admired and respected one by one.
This is the army.
If you have the ability and strength, others will look up to you.
I don't have the ability or strength to rely on a background alone, and no one says anything on the surface, but in my heart and behind my back, I don't know how ugly it is.
But now after this, Zhu Zhangui's reputation and prestige have been completely established in the army.
What's more, Zhu Zhangui has medicine in his hands that will not be infected after being injured.
Everyone is a military general, often fighting in the rain of swords and arrows, and no one dares to guarantee that they will not be injured.
In case one day they are unlucky and get inflamed and infected, Zhu Zhangui is their lifesaver.
Coupled with the old man's attitude towards Donggong and this grandson, the balance in many people's hearts has been tilted in favor of Zhu Zhangui.
"The generals are polite, Zhan Gui is late, punish a glass of wine!"
Zhu Zhangui glanced at his second uncle Zhu Gaoxu, who had an unhappy expression, arched his hand to everyone with a smile, and then took the wine on his table and drank it all.
"Good..."
Such a bold appearance made all the generals can't help but applaud, and they all got up and toasted.
After talking a few words to the generals and drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhu Zhangui sat down in his place.
"How's it arranged?"
Looking at the generals who were laughing and toasting each other below, the old man asked softly without a beginning.
Others may not understand, but Zhu Zhangui is clear.
Nodding slightly, he replied in a low voice.
"I already informed Hu Yu when I came, and they should now go to pick up the defense of the prisoner camp."
The old man nodded, and said no more about it.
Turning back to the generals who were toasting below, the old man took a sip of wine and said with a smile.
"When the rain stops, you accompany me to Wolf Juxu Mountain, and we should go back when we come back."
"After this battle, the grassland will be peaceful for at least a few decades, go back and rectify the domestic affairs, clean up a few disobedient little guys around, I plan to abdicate and let your father ascend the throne."
Zhu Zhangui looked at the old man and didn't dare to say much.
He didn't dare to intervene in this kind of thing.
"Your father is not in good health, some time ago Yang Shiqi sent a recital, saying that your father is sick again."
Zhu Zhangui sighed when he heard this.
Zhu Chubby's body really can't help it, he belongs to the kind of person who grows meat when he drinks cold water.
The front feet just lost a little meat, and the back feet grew back after eating a little more.
In addition, Zhu Chubby's body is weak and he can't do strong exercise, so it's really not a simple thing to lose weight completely.
"It's better to let him ascend the throne as soon as possible, otherwise, like your grandfather, he has been a prince for a lifetime, and he won't sit on the throne when he leaves."
"Your father has been busy with me all his life, and he has been scared by me all his life, I can't let him go with regrets, even if he is the emperor for a day."
Zhu Zhangui paused.
I really want to tell the old man that my father has actually been the emperor for more than half a year.
But then I thought that with his own existence, the old man was much more relaxed, the old man didn't have so many worries, he was happy every day, maybe he would live longer than his father.
After the calf, my father may be the prince for the rest of his life.
Thinking of being the father of the prince for the rest of his life, Zhu Zhangui said sorry to his father in his heart.
"Sometimes there must be in life, there is no time in life to force it, in fact, my father doesn't care about this, he just wants the court to be stable, and the people can recuperate and live a good life!"
The old man nodded, and said with emotion: "Your father is definitely stronger than our two grandfathers when he is the emperor, our two fathers are too murderous, and they will start wars at every turn to consume national strength, and the people can't bear it!" ”
The old man sighed with emotion, didn't talk about it anymore, picked up the wine glass and drank himself.
While the whole army was laughing and celebrating the victory, a group of about 4,000 people with various bodies and equipment approached the prisoner camp.
"This is a prisoner camp, stop coming!"
The soldier in charge of the guard shouted that the people were stopped.
A thin man in the general's armor raised his hand to stop the procession.
He stepped forward and said with a calm expression: "We were ordered to take over the prisoner camp, this is an order!" ”
Soon the prisoner camp was replaced.
The Ming army, which was originally guarded, was replaced by people dressed in a variety of clothes and carrying various weapons.
The captives who were captive didn't care about the change of guard.
It's not that they don't care, it's that they really don't care.
Due to the lack of supplies, the Ming army was a little short of its own food supplies, so it was naturally impossible to entertain these prisoners with good food and drink.
This is the time of three days.
The captives only had two bowls of clean porridge and water every day, not to mention that they were full, and they could only barely hang on for their lives.
One day it can hold on, two days can still grit its teeth, and after three days, the Warat captives are so hungry that they don't even have the strength to stand.
In order to save some energy, the captives huddled together and slept as soon as it was dark.
Even if someone finds out that something is wrong with the guards in exchange, they will not think in the direction that the Ming army wants to move towards them.
Standing at the gate of the prisoner camp, watching the Ming army return to the main barracks, Hu Yu turned around and walked into the prisoner camp.
"How? You should know that! ”
Looking at the officers of the Rakshasa Army in front of him, Hu Yu asked indifferently.
Everyone nodded in unison.
"Tomorrow, Your Majesty may beat us up for this matter, but His Royal Highness Taisun will try his best to save our lives, and there will be compensation later, so let the brothers not have too many scruples."
"Yes!"
Of course, everyone understood Hu Yu's words.
Tomorrow will be punished by the board just pretending, after all, the prisoner has been killed, if the emperor does not lose his temper, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to the civil officials of the imperial court.
So for the sake of the overall situation, I can only grieve them.
Soon, the members of the Rakshasa Army, who received the order, divided into a part to surround the entire camp.
While the others rushed into the group of captives with cold and murderous expressions, carrying weapons and weapons.
A scream of surprise rang out from the prisoner camp.
If it is in the dead of night, it will definitely spread far and wide.
But the Ming army does not have a curfew tonight, and the soldiers who have been fighting abroad for more than half a year finally got a chance to relax today, and naturally sang and danced.
The screams of more than 10,000 people in the prisoner camp were suppressed by the cheers and shouts of the three or four hundred thousand Ming troops before they could spread far.
Even if someone hears the report to the top, the officers will say that they are hallucinating from drinking.
The celebration did not stop until the second half of the night, and the well-fed and well-fed soldiers fell asleep with satisfied smiles and looked forward to their return in a few days.
Heaven is beautiful.
It didn't rain until the next day, and the fiery red sun dispelled the dark clouds and shone on the turquoise prairie.
The Ming army began to pack up the camp and prepare to return to the Ming Dynasty according to the established route.
The news of the prisoner camp did not spread, but the old man and the generals knew about it.
The old man made a fire in front of the generals, and originally ordered to cut Hu Yu and other Rakshasa generals.
But later, under Zhu Zhangui's intercession, the old man absorbed the anger of the thunder and chose a lighter punishment.
