Chapter 229: Wounded Soldiers and Controversy (1)

Under the sunset, the inside and outside of Jinan Mansion were calm, and all departments of the Qing army and the Ming army were busy with the first and last matters after the war.

On the battlefield during the day, there were hundreds of soldiers from both the Ming army and the Qing army cleaning the battlefield, but because those Qing soldiers were back after retreating, the corpses of the Qing soldiers on the battlefield at this time were all "processed", not only the heads were cut down and taken away by the soldiers of the Lingshan Wei New Army, but even the armor and clothes were pulled away, leaving only thousands of smooth headless corpses.

At this time, the bodies of the fallen soldiers of the Lingshan Weixin Army and the Dubiao Battalion on the battlefield had already been transported back to the city for resettlement.

On a summer evening, the breeze came slowly, but with a strong smell of blood, it blew through the messy and cruel battlefield, constantly making bursts of whimpering, as if countless undead were crying.

Guo Rong, the general manager of the left hundred of the middle battalion, looked angrily ahead, and not far away were more than a dozen Qing soldiers who were cleaning up the corpses of their companions.

"These dog things!"

Yu Qian, the picketer of the middle battalion, also came over with a few heavy soldiers and people, who were pulling several large carts, on which were some captured weapons, flags and other materials.

"You get the stuff back to the city first."

"Yes."

Then Yu Qian patted Guo Rong on the shoulder and said, "Today's battle is over, don't be impulsive, you want to take revenge, see you on the battlefield tomorrow!" ”

Guo Rong nodded and said, "I just hate!" Today's casualties are too great, the battle of the giant deer is so cruel, fighting for life and death for several days, and it is not as big as the casualties of today's day! ”

"Alas! Oh, yes. ”

Yu Qian said: "I heard that Guo Mingxu, the right general manager of the former battalion, was also seriously injured and was hit by the fire of Shang Kexi's traitor soldiers, and it is estimated that it will be a matter of the past two days. ”

"What!"

Guo Rong looked at Yu Qian in surprise, when did the dignified Lingshan Wei Xinjun suffer such a big loss!

Then Guo Rong angrily threw a broken knife in his hand into the distance, and the sound suddenly attracted the attention of more than a dozen Qing soldiers in the distance. But soon the dozen or so soldiers with white flags exchanged words and left in a hurry, obviously not wanting to cause more trouble here.

Yu Qian looked at Guo Rong, who was walking back angrily, and asked loudly, "Where are you going?" ”

"I'm going to the wounded barracks in the city, I'm going to see Mr. Guo Bai!"

In the city of Jinan.

After Liu Yan led his troops to withdraw to the camp, in order to let his subordinates get better treatment for the wounded soldiers, he directly sent hundreds of wounded soldiers to the city for resettlement.

When Lu Xiangsheng and Yan Jizu heard the news, they also hurriedly sent a lot of doctors in the city to help, and also sent Lu Huaiying to send a lot of medicines, clean cloths and other items.

When Guo Rong arrived at the wounded barracks with a few guards, he happened to meet Liu Yan.

"Your Excellency!"

Liu Yan was squatting on the ground, checking the condition of a wounded soldier, glanced up at Guo Rong, and nodded as a greeting.

Bao Xuezhen stood beside him, Guo Rong leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Bao Baihu, where is Guo Mingxu, the former head of the camp, and how is the situation?" ”

Bao Xuezhen pointed to the other side and said, "Over there, my left leg was hit by a firecracker, and I am going to amputate it today, whether I can survive it depends on Guo Baizong's creation." ”

Guo Rong was taken aback, with an expression of regret and grief on his face. At this time, Liu Yan stood up and beckoned to the two: "Go and see Mr. Guo Bai." ”

"Yes."

There were wailing voices everywhere in the wounded barracks, Liu Yan and the others walked through the busy crowd, only to see that Guo Mingxu had woken up, looking at the top of the camp with no love, not knowing what he was thinking, and a sore expression flashed on his face from time to time, and he grinned a few times.

"Your Excellency!"

Guo Mingxu suddenly saw Liu Yan coming over, and he was excited to get up, but the sharp pain in his left leg suddenly made him break out in a cold sweat, and he involuntarily lay down again.

"Don't move, just lie down."

After Liu Yan finished speaking, he checked Guo Mingxu's left leg, and saw that the wound on the leg had been applied with medicine, but because of the hot weather, it was not tightly wrapped.

Guo Rong's eyes were red when he saw this, and he greeted him a few times, Guo Mingxu smiled bitterly, scolded him for being unlucky, and then said: "If Lao Tzu dies, you have to help me kill a few more Tartars!" ”

Liu Yan ignored the conversation between the two, but asked Bao Xuezhen, "Buckshot taken out?" ”

Bao Xuezhen said: "It has been taken out, but lead bullet is easy to take, lead poison is difficult to clear, coupled with the current hot weather, most of these hundreds of wounded are firearm wounds, how much they can survive in the end, it is really unpredictable, and the best result is amputation." ”

"Lead poison?"

Liu Yan frowned slightly, and then realized that the lead poison he did was actually the residue of the lead bullet in the body, and with the debridement methods of this era, it was difficult to completely remove the residue of the lead bullet, so that the wound would inevitably suppurate.

In this era, once the wounds of wounded soldiers are purulent and infected, they are almost irreversible, ranging from amputation and cripple to death.

Guo Mingxu also knew his own situation, and said: "My lord, after the death of my subordinates, please take care of my subordinates' families, and let them remember to burn their subordinates for ...... in the future."

Liu Yan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, interrupted Guo Mingxu and said, "Okay! You can't die, and there's a high probability that you won't be crippled! ”

After speaking, Liu Yan directly asked for a fixed ammunition from the guards behind him, and in front of everyone, he disassembled the fixed ammunition: "Come on a few people, hold him down for me!" ”

Under the surprised gaze of Guo Mingxu, Guo Rong and Bao Xuezhen, several guards directly pressed Guo Mingxu on the bed and couldn't move.

"Great, sir?"

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Liu Yan uncovered the plaster on Guo Mingxu's leg, and poured all the gunpowder in the fixed ammunition on the wound, which made Guo Mingxu suddenly scream.

What frightened Guo Mingxu even more was that Liu Yan took out the fire fold from his waist, and after blowing out the flames, he said to Guo Mingxu with a smile: "I think it's better for you not to look, close your eyes, and remember not to bite your tongue." ”

Guo Mingxu said in horror: "I, why should I bite ......, ah!" ”

Before he finished speaking, Liu Yan ignited the gunpowder with a fire fold, and the gunpowder burned violently, and everyone seemed to smell a strange burnt fragrance, and Guo Mingxu had fainted in pain after screaming.

Liu Yan looked at the wound and saw that the wound was pitch black, and a stream of bright red blood began to flow out.

Bao Xuezhen said in surprise: "This, the lead poison is almost gone, you see, the blood shed is bright red, not dirty blood!" ”

Liu Yan observed it carefully and said: "It is indeed effective, Bao Baihu will clean it up carefully, and other soldiers who were injured by firearms will also follow this method." In addition, when debridement, you can find some spirits and simply distill it to disinfect the wound. ”

Bao Xuezhen hurriedly wrote it down, and then asked, "My lord, why can this gunpowder be used to remove lead poison?" ”

Liu Yan naturally couldn't explain it well, so he had to say: "Fierce fire to strong poison." ”

Bao Xuezhen repeated it a few times, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he bowed to Liu Yan to be taught.

Then Liu Yan inspected for a while, then walked out of the wounded barracks and returned directly to the Lingshanwei New Army camp outside the city.

For these wounded soldiers, Liu Yan understands that even if there is gunpowder debridement and liquor disinfection, there will still be many soldiers who will eventually be disabled, and these soldiers will not be able to continue to serve in the army in the future, and they will not be able to farm when they return home, how will they live?

Liu Yan thought about it again and again, and decided to wait until the end of this battle and place all those disabled soldiers to the fire road piers and tunbao in various places in Lingshanwei.

At the same time, the Qing army camp is also full of people, as night falls, the Qing army camps are full of wailing, it seems very infiltrating.

In terms of the medical methods of the Qing army, the wounded soldiers who were injured by the firearms of the Lingshan Weixin army in each banner basically died in the end, and they had to go through inhuman pain before they could die.

There are no doctors in the Qing army, only shamans, and to put it bluntly, they are the gods and goddesses of the dancing gods. The Manchus revered shamanism and believed that injuries could be healed by using various hallucinogenic powders, bloodletting, and rituals.

Although there were some Han doctors in the camp who were captured, they were helpless in the face of difficult firearm wounds.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Dolgon sat in the center with a pale face, and Yue Tuo, Duoduo, Dudu, and the Mongolian banner masters, Shang Kexi, sat at the bottom in turn.

At this time, the casualty figures of each banner had been counted, and Wang Yuetuo of Keqin County said with a solemn face: "Prince Qiyurui, the casualties of our army's banners in this battle are huge. ”

"There were more than 2,300 casualties in Manchuria, more than 1,900 casualties in the Mongolian white flag, more than 1,700 casualties in the Mongolian red flag, more than 1,400 casualties in the Mongolian red flag, and more than 8,300 casualties in the Han army. A total of more than 16,000 people were killed or wounded in each banner. Among them, there were more than 3,000 casualties among the armored soldiers of each banner. ”

As soon as this number came out, everyone was silent, and the faces of Ibai, Buyandai, and Engetu were even more ugly, after a battle during the day, the soldiers and horses of the three had been disabled, and if they were not replenished after going back, the Mongolian two red flags and the Zhengbai flag would be finished!

Duoduo's face was also very ugly, and he was directly defeated by Liu Yan's troops when he attacked the Lingshan Wei New Army head-on, and was directly defeated by Liu Yan's troops, such a blow made Duoduo unable to accept it, and at this time he kept his face and said nothing, and there seemed to be a vicious aura around him. 33

Yue Tuo looked at Dolgon and said, "Prince Rui, this time in the south, our army has fought fiercely one after another, and the casualties of each banner have reached more than 19,000 people!" If this battle continues, the casualties of the warriors of each banner will be too great, and the gains outweigh the losses! ”

Hearing this, Du Du stood up abruptly and shouted loudly: "Is the King of Keqin County going to retreat from the battle?" In my opinion, Prince Rui should immediately revise a letter to report the situation of the war in Jinan to His Majesty, and implore Your Majesty to do all the troops of the Qing Dynasty to go south, and must annihilate Liu Yan and Lu Xiangsheng's troops to avenge the fallen warriors! ”

Although Duoduo hated Liu Yan, after listening to Du Du's words, he still stood up and retorted: "Anping Baylor must think clearly, if the truth of this battle is reported to His Majesty, it means that our attack is unfavorable, and we have 100,000 troops but we have lost the battle!" Even if His Majesty leads the army to annihilate Liu Yan's department, the credit is Your Majesty's, and we will all be punished by Your Majesty, and the population of Niulu in each banner will definitely be reduced. ”

Du Du glanced at Duoduo indignantly, but it was undeniable that this was true, Huang Taiji used various reasons to reduce the population of each banner, which was already an indisputable fact. So Du Du sat down angrily and stopped talking.

Yue Tuo watched Duoduo and Du Du arguing, so he suggested: "Prince Rui, in terms of the current battle situation, our army is evenly matched with Lu Xiangsheng and Liu Yan's troops, and whoever attacks will suffer a big loss. In this way, our army might as well divide its forces and plunder everywhere to make up for the losses of the flags. Maybe Lu Xiangsheng and Liu Yan will lead their troops to rush to help when they see our army attacking everywhere, and the tide of the battle will be reversed at that time. ”

The banner owners of Mongolia have echoed one after another, as long as they don't have to fight to the death with Liu Yanbu, the three of them can do anything.

Shang Kexi is a Han Chinese, so he can't speak here, just sits and listens.

Dolgon's face was very ugly at this time, and everyone had already begun to retreat, did he want to lose under Liu Yan again?

Some people died, but not completely......
