Early the next morning, Li Congyi took Gu Dazhuang and others to visit the wounded and sick.

The night before the war, the guards of the Guogong Mansion were killed, seriously injured and slightly wounded, and the deceased and the rest of the people who died in the war were cremated first, and then some ashes were taken and put into clay pots, and the names and places of origin were written.

But Li Congyi's request did not stop there, so he asked Gu Dazhuang and another accompanying captain, Wang Damu, to gather three guards who were quite clever on weekdays to form a group, responsible for taking one day to come up with a casualty pension regulations, the main content of which is to compensate the dead and disabled, and register their families until their parents and spouses die, and if the children are orphans, they will be admitted to the Guogongfu Primary School; In addition, the disabled are given work arrangements as far as possible.

The so-called three stinkers, the top Zhuge Liang. With Jiang Guogong's main ideological guidance, the five of them stayed up all night and spent the night taking out the casualty pension regulations. Li Congyi only adjusted the compensation for the dead from 12-18 times the monthly salary to 18-24 times (according to the different coefficients of the rank and rank).

Now the monthly salary of ordinary soldiers is only about 2 times. Originally, 1 copper coin should be equal to 1 tael of silver, but since the late Tang Dynasty, the copper content of copper coins has become more and more insufficient, especially in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Yu printed a large number of iron coins, which made copper coins more and more worthless. As a result, on the side of Nantang, 1 yuan is worth about 5-6 cents of silver.

The monthly salary of the Guogong Mansion Guard, Li Congyi adjusted it once at the beginning of the year, and transferred the soldiers of the Guogong Mansion Guard to 4 guan, which is converted to more than 2 taels of silver, and 12 times is only 25 taels. Li Congyi felt that it was few, but the morale of the soldiers was greatly increased.

The guards of the Guogong Mansion have been trained by Li Congyi for a month, and they have just reached a period of fatigue, and with such a controllable intensity of battle, everyone is uplifted, and with this pension regulation, they are even more energetic.

The two wounded soldiers of the Guogong Mansion, one was quick to see the opportunity, and the other hid in the kick, dodging the vital point, only two arrows were hit in the arm and leg, which would have jumped away alive. The one who was seriously injured, the fatal wound was in the chest, an arrow broke through the soft armor, forming a penetrating wound, which should have injured the lungs, although it was treated by the military doctor, the wound continued to ooze blood with breathing. Li Congyi ordered someone to find honey yesterday and smear it to cover the wound; It is also required that the bandaged gauze must be boiled in boiling water and dried before it can be used, and the rest can only be left to fate. And looking at this situation, even if the injury is healed, it will never be able to return to the team.

However, what Li Congyi wanted to visit was the wounded and sick of Dong Jingye's department.

Su Anping's house was very big, so Li Congyi specially arranged Dong Jingye to live in. Dong Jingye is happy, that is, he always keeps a close eye on Jiang Guogong's movements. Seeing that Jiang Guogong and others were going to their own military camp, they hurried up.

Unexpectedly, Li Congyi saw him follow, so he stared at him and said, "Commander Dong's body has been wounded several times, and he will still raise his body." ”

Dong Jingye returned again.

When he arrived at the barracks, Li Congyi frowned. The barracks of Dong Jingye's department was set on fire by the mountain pirates and burned to pieces. Later, a few broken tents were finally snatched out of it, and the two intact ones were moved in; He also ceded the camp of the guards of the national government to the wounded soldiers. However, there were only a few guards in the Guogong Mansion, and a tent was specially built for Jiang Guogong, and there were only four tents in total, and more than 120 wounded soldiers packed the four tents.

Li Congyi casually walked into a tent and saw the military doctor leaning next to a wounded man, and he actually fell asleep.

At this time, the military doctors were often some medical apprentices who had not yet been taught or failed to leave the school, and they were generally half-baked, but they were better than nothing. But as now, with so many wounded, with only one military doctor, must have been so exhausted that he fell asleep to the cries and wails of a group of wounded.

"Go to the city and get some doctors." Li Congyi was also angry, this Dong Jingye was quite willing to bribe himself, but he was not even willing to call a doctor for the wounded soldiers.

Probably because Li Congyi came in, the noisy sound in the tent fell, and Guo Qixiang, the military doctor, came to his senses, and struggled to get up to salute Jiang Guogong, but half of his body was numb, and he fell down again as soon as he stood up halfway.

Li Congyi motioned for him to slow down first, and then asked Gu Dazhuang to call all the guards of the Guogong Mansion to the town.

"First of all, please go out if you can't die and can move, and go outside to bask in the sun, and we'll talk about it later." More than 100 people came out of the tent at once.

There were only about 20 seriously wounded left, and most of them were hit by the torso. Li Congyi ordered all the guards to work together, sorted out two slightly clean tents, and then placed the seriously wounded in them.

Li Congyi went to the pile of wounded again, and picked out the wounded soldiers who looked at the wounds that were quite deep and serious, and placed them in a tent.

As for those who broke their bones and broken their heads, they looked at the injuries that were also miserable, but they were sure that their lives were worry-free, and they were placed in another place.

There were still seventy or eighty wounded left, Li Congyi looked around, and said, "Blasting out those two teams, and letting the tents live for the wounded." ”

The two teams and the broken soldiers who had been scattered were driven out of their tents, and they had nowhere to go, so they all gathered on the edge of the playground without an idea. Dong Jingye also didn't show up for a long time, and the two captains didn't dare to go directly to Jiang Guogong. A group of people, like the wounded who had just been ridiculed by them, thought they were basking in the sun.

Li Congyi sighed and called the guards over. The guards lined up to report the number, but they were regarded as watching a play by the soldiers.

But when Li Congyi ordered them to form a team, this group of people was in a mess, and they didn't know where to stand or how to line up. Fortunately, the guards of the Guogong Mansion quickly divided into ten people, stood separately, and then other guards drove them away, so they lined up in a random row of ten people, and they lined up in this order. The two captains didn't know whether to stand in or not, and they were glared at by Li Congyi's face, so they also stood in obediently.

The two teams plus the defeated soldiers who returned one after another, there were more than 150 people, and they were exactly divided into 15 squads, and each squad was assigned a Guogong Mansion guard as an instructor. Limited to two weeks, those who are qualified are retained, and those who are not qualified are discouraged. When the soldiers heard this, they became noisy.

"A bunch of eggless cowards!"

"Three hundred people let dozens of people in the family cry and cry for their mother, and they still have the face to talk about conditions with this father?!"

"I love to it, I don't like it!"

Seeing that the grandfather of the country scolded his mother, the soldiers were angry.

Seeing that the training had started normally, Li Congyi stared at the side for a while, and then instructed Gu Dazhuang, "Be sure to clean up the surrounding mountains again, and the vigilance should be stretched farther away to prevent the mountain pirates from killing back the carbines." ”

"Lord Guogong really thinks that the mountain pirates will kill the horse pistol?" But it was Hou Hongye who came over.

"The officers and soldiers are weak, as can be seen in the battle the night before. If the other party is the leader of the other party and has stopped for a day or two, if there is no movement of the officers and soldiers, then he will have to snoop again anyway to see if there is an opportunity. ”

Hou Hongye was taken aback, and secretly thought that this was really the case.

"From the perspective of Lord Guogong, how do my Tang soldiers compare with Song soldiers?" Hou Hongye asked suddenly.

"If you take the previous Ning National Army as an example, it should be unbearable for the Song Army." Li Congyi said truthfully. The same is true in history, the Ning army fought with the Song army in Lishui, south of Nanjing, more than 10,000 troops were annihilated, and the chief and deputy commanders were killed together.

Hearing this, Hou Hongye thought to himself, "That's really the case", and said: "Then from the perspective of the Lord Guogong, if the Song soldiers come south, can our dynasty fight?" ”

Li Congyi said: "Hou Zhixian is asking a bad question. When the Song soldiers came to the south, whether they wanted to fight or not, whether they could fight, they had the ministers of the DPRK and China to worry about. If you and I think about these two things, when we need to fight, can we fight together and win? Therefore, what this public has done is nothing more than the imperative to make the Ning Guojun able to fight and dare to fight. ”

"But what if you can't do it in the end?" Hou Hongye finally couldn't help but ask.

"If so, we must show that we are capable of doing so."

"The recent words and deeds of Lord Guogong have made his subordinates admire. With the words of the Lord Guogong, his subordinates no longer have any doubts, and they should serve the Lord Guogong wholeheartedly. ”

Li Congyi was not polite, and immediately mentioned the matter of recruitment. With the lessons of his predecessors in mind, Li Congyi naturally chose to go to the countryside to recruit soldiers. Hou Hongye did not allow it, and immediately accompanied Wang Damu and others by the officials of Xuancheng County, and went to the countryside near Zuo to directly recruit troops.

Hou Hongye also said that in the morning, Xuanzhou Porcelain Industry had signed a contract with Dong's shop to buy porcelain worth 20,000 taels, that is, those tribute porcelain snatched from the mouth of the mountain pirates. This batch of porcelain is not convenient for sale in China, but Dong's shop has Wu Yue's channel and is willing to eat part of the tribute porcelain first.

"For this transaction, 2,000 taels of value-added tax was charged." Hou Hongye said, "If the company pays taxes to the government truthfully like this, why worry about insufficient use?" ”

Li Congyi smiled but did not speak. For the modern government, the more you receive, the more you spend. When Li Congyi begins to engage in armament construction on a large scale and make money from the ground, it is estimated that Hou Hongye will not have this feeling.

At this time, the doctors invited from Xuancheng County arrived. All the way to speed up the boat, the three doctors were a little unbearable, and they didn't give Jiang Guogong a good face. When I asked, sure enough, Gu Dazhuang used to be strong. "I found a few of them, but they didn't want to come. There are those who open their mouths and ask for five hundred taels of fees. Is it true that we are vegetarians in the government? ”

Li Congyi didn't expect this to happen. But thinking about it, it was the same, so Gu Dazhuang had to use the old method and change "please" to "rob". Li Congyi nodded and didn't say anything. Gu Dazhuang knew that this was the right thing, so he grinned and walked away.

With Jiang Guogong and Xuancheng Zhixian comforting them, these doctors also put away their grievances and patiently diagnosed and treated.

The original military doctors only treated the seriously wounded to stop the bleeding, and these doctors divided their work and re-treated them. One of them opened the gauze that had bandaged the wound, looked at it for a moment, and asked, "Why do you apply honey?" ”

Li Congyi replied: "Honey is not perishable, can isolate the wound from contact with the air, and can also help the wound heal, so it is the best natural substitute when the gold creation medicine is insufficient." ”

The doctor waited for a long time, and then stopped talking. Carefully treat the wound and dress it after debridement and medication. Li Congyi stopped again: "For an open wound like this, you should find mulberry white leather thread or twine, and suture the wound with a needle, so that the wound is not easy to be infected and heals faster." ”

The doctor stopped what he was doing, and went to the other two doctors.
