Chapter 163: Wounded Soldiers

Chuzhou City, West Street, barracks, temporary field hospital.

Although the camp was full of wounded soldiers, the windows were bright and clean, and there were medical officers and nurses in white clothes and masks shuttling through it to treat the wounded soldiers.

The kings of the Song Dynasty attached great importance to the military medical care, but they did not dare to delegate power to the generals in the army, so the rationing power of military doctors was generally controlled by the center.

Wear masks, wear medical gowns, use steamed bandages, and disinfect not only hands, knives, and wounds of the wounded when performing surgery to prevent wound infection.

These are the rules of the camp for wounded soldiers in the army, and no one can break them.

"Medic, I'm not going to die, am I?"

A sergeant who was missing his right hand grabbed Shi Huiyu's sleeve, and there were a lot of snot and tears on his slightly immature face.

Although it is said that it is difficult to sacrifice one's life to go to the country, and death is like returning home, but after returning to the war, the trauma of war is cruel and unbearable.

"What are you kid howling about? Brother, I'm not missing an arm, and I'm not alive and well? Wipe your face clean, don't lose the face of our Lizhou Rongsi! ”

Shi Huiyu was uncomfortable for a while, and before she could speak, the young officer who was missing her forearm on the side picked up the conversation.

Listening to his Jiangnan accent, it seems to be a Lin'an person. Seeing that he was calm and relaxed, he didn't seem to take the injury seriously.

"Take care of your injuries, you'll be fine. Remember, don't get water on your wounds! ”

Shi Huiyu gently persuaded the handsless sergeant to change his bandages.

She is a sensual person, and when she first saw the wounds of the wounded, especially broken arms and legs, she couldn't accept it, and even cried secretly for it. After so many days, she also got used to all this and became more composed.

This may be the process of growth.

Wu ...... General, you have to pay attention. Your injuries are fine, but ......"

Shi Huiyu told the officer who was missing his left forearm, choked up for a while, and couldn't say any more.

At the age of twenty, he lost an arm, and the days that followed......

"Shi ...... Nothing, medical officer. Since I chose to join the army, I already expected this day. ”

General Wu's voice sank, but his pride did not change. He waved his right arm and laughed:

"I don't have my left arm, and I have my right hand. Even if you can't go to the battlefield, you can go to the army to train soldiers. If not, the principal will let me go back to the martial arts hall as an instructor. The only regret is that I can't go into battle to kill the enemy and fight on the battlefield with my brothers. ”

Wu ...... Big brother, take care! ”

Shi Huiyu and the officer surnamed Wu are both children of the powerful in Lin'an, and they are very familiar with each other. Shi Huiyu saw that he was open-minded, and he was also a lot more relieved, and went to inspect the rest of the wounded soldiers.

Shi Huiyu walked away, and General Wu sat down, looking at the window with a blank look.

Cao You heard that he entered the wounded barracks, and when he saw that it was in order, he felt a little more relieved.

To save lives and help the wounded, the medical staff in the army have made great contributions!

Since the establishment of the Jinling Jiangwutang and the Sichuan Jiangwutang, the medical and nursing strength of the Northwest Frontier Army has increased substantially, and the number of medical and nursing graduates who have gone to Lizhou West Road alone has reached several hundred.

The increase in the number of medical officers has also meant a significant increase in the number of deaths due to injuries in the military. Just like the attack and defense of the city of Chuzhou, at least hundreds of wounded soldiers escaped death because they received timely treatment.

"General!"

Seeing Cao Youwen come in, the soldiers in the wounded barracks were all surprised, and some of them wanted to salute, but they were stopped by Cao Youwen and the generals.

"Brother Wu, this ......"

Seeing the missing arm of "General Wu", Cao You couldn't help but feel sad when he heard it.

General Wu is not a general, he is a graduate of the second phase of Jinling Jiangwutang, a commander in the army, and a middle and senior officer.

"General Cao, it's okay, I can also go to the battlefield with one hand!"

General Wu said heroically that he never loses face in front of people.

"Brother, I'm sorry for you!"

Cao Youwen's eyes moistened involuntarily.

"General, battlefield casualties are inevitable. What's going on out there? ”

Seeing Cao Youwen, General Wu's eyes immediately lit up, and the topic turned to military affairs.

The emperor personally led a large army to help, but unfortunately he was recuperating from his injuries and could not witness it with his own eyes, which is a pity.

"Brother Wu, the emperor has an army of 70,000. The Tatar army was defeated, and the emperor was leading a large army to the north to pursue and kill the fleeing enemy, and he was about to occupy the line of Lintao Mansion. ”

Cao Youwen's words shocked General Wu, and his face turned red with excitement.

"Good! This time, the Tatars have suffered a lot! ”

"Brother Wu, you take good care of your injuries. When the city is settled, I will take you to your majesty. Your Majesty must be eager to see you. ”

Cao Youwen affectionately patted the remnants of General Wu's right arm.

A local war may turn into a full-scale war, and the next major war is inevitable.

"Thank you, General! Thank you, General! ”

General Wu smiled happily, nodded again and again, and the whole person was in good spirits.

Speaking of which, he and Zhao Hong couldn't be more familiar before. It's a pity that creation makes people, and the two sides are evil.

However, now that he has proved himself, he can finally raise his head and puff up his chest to face Zhao Hong.

"Brothers!"

Cao Youwen looked at all the wounded in the camp and spoke aloud.

"I see that you have done a good job in defending the city. Rest assured, no matter what you are, the army will not leave you behind! ”

Cao Youwen's words made the wounded all lift their spirits, and their eyes turned to him.

"Brothers, Your Majesty loves soldiers like sons, whether brothers are slightly injured or seriously injured, Your Majesty will not be able to treat you badly!"

Cao Youwen's words made the wounded soldiers look at each other, but no one spoke, and the camp fell silent for a while.

Historically, the consequences of being disabled in the army have been tragic, and the evening scene is bleak. The words of the generals are true or false, and who dares to believe it.

Seeing that the wounded soldiers did not react enthusiastically, General Wu shouted loudly on the sidelines.

"Brothers, do you have less money? Have you ever been a stabber? When you go out of camp and return to your hometown to visit relatives, does anyone dare to look down on you? His Majesty's golden mouth is true to his word. Let's rest assured! ”

The emperor waved his troops north, and the brothers of Western Xia were saved.

This is the son of heaven of the Great Song Dynasty, who is not afraid of strong enemies, which is convincing.

"Those who died in battle have bereavement benefits, those who lack arms and legs can do other things, and those who are slightly injured continue to go to the battlefield, Your Majesty said that he will not treat his brothers badly, and he will definitely not give up on you!"

Cao Youwen shouted loudly, boosting the morale of the wounded soldiers.

"General, will the imperial court really take care of us who are disabled?"

Finally, a wounded soldier asked loudly.

"Brothers, it is different now than before, and you know what Your Majesty is doing to you. Don't worry, Your Majesty will not abandon you and will not treat your brothers badly! ”

Cao Youwen said loudly, full of anger.

"Your Majesty loves soldiers like sons, long live!"

"Your Majesty is a good emperor, and he will not treat us badly!"

Among the wounded soldiers, someone shouted loudly.

The emperor cared for the soldiers, and the wounded soldiers had hope in their hearts.

"General, we will definitely take care of our injuries and go to the battlefield again!"

Some wounded soldiers shouted loudly, looking in good spirits.

Minor injuries can generally recover as long as they recover well. Most of the seriously injured can survive as long as they recover well and survive the dangerous period.

Of the thousands of wounded, there are at least four or five hundred who can return to the battlefield at that time, and these veterans who have fought are treasures in the army.

After leaving the wounded barracks and passing by Shi Huiyu, Cao Youwen nodded and said hello.

Fortunately, there are these 100 medical officers in the army, otherwise, I don't know how to comfort the wounded soldiers.

"General Cao, did Your Majesty personally lead the troops here?"

Shi Huiyu hesitated for a moment, stopped and asked.

"Doctor Shi, Your Majesty personally led a large army to come, and the soldiers saw it clearly on the city wall. You can rest assured, the Tatars have been defeated and have already withdrawn! ”

Cao Youwen nodded and replied softly.

This Shi Huiyu, the daughter of Lin'an City, is now reborn and is already a proper old medical officer.

"Your Majesty won't be in any danger, will you?"

Shi Huiyu's face flushed, and she asked softly.

After inspecting the northwest frontier, Zhao Hong returned to the southeast, and speaking of which, she hadn't seen the emperor principal for more than a year.

"Don't worry, 70,000 elites, Your Majesty will be fine!"

Cao Youwen glanced at Shi Huiyu in surprise and said softly.

"Thank you, General Cao!"

Shi Huiyu's eyes flickered, and she hurriedly left.

Cao Youwen looked at her brisk pace and shook his head gently.

This world is full of crazy men and women, how many people can avoid vulgarity?

"General, what about the Tatar captives outside the city? Among these people, there are many craftsmen. ”

The sergeant came to report, and Cao Youwen said coldly.

"Artisans? Will they make gunpowder or cannons? All sent to iron factories and mines, let's go to labor reform! ”

Needless to say, the iron and cement factories in Chuzhou had been plagued by the Tatar army, and manpower was needed to restore them, and these captured Mongolian craftsmen were good laborers.

He didn't care about these baby bumps in the Mongol army.

"General, what about the Tatar captives outside the city?"

The Song army besieged the Mongolian army camp outside the city, and the Mongolian infantry soldiers were killed and wounded, but there were still more than 1,000 surrendered troops. Unlike during the pursuit, those retreating Mongolian knights were basically killed by the Song army.

"Treat their injuries well, they are all good labor, and Tuntian mining needs manpower, but it can't be wasted."

Cao Youwen looked at the wounded barracks and scolded with a gloomy face.

"This shitty war!"

The five thousand defenders, plus the people, were killed and wounded, and the casualties were huge, even if they defeated the other party, Cao Youwen did not have much joy.

Shi Huiyu returned to her residence and met Li Siyu and Liu Fangning carrying a medicine box, and hurriedly prepared to go out.

"Shi Huiyu, I heard that His Majesty personally led troops outside the city, is it true?"

Li Siyu grabbed Shi Huiyu's arm with an eager expression.

Liu Fangning also looked at Shi Huiyu with expectant eyes.

"It's true! However, His Majesty led his troops to pursue the Tatar rout, and did not enter the city. ”

Shi Huiyu said in her mouth, looking forward to it.

After not seeing her for a long time, she eagerly looked forward to seeing the emperor and principal as soon as possible.

"You say, did Your Majesty send troops north to reinforce Western Xia?"

Li Siyu suddenly asked.

"Probably."

Shi Huiyu's eyes were gloomy, noncommittal.

Time passed, although she knew that it was unlikely, she still remained determined to the emperor.

"Siyu, don't worry, your lover Zhang Zhongxia, he will definitely be fine!"

Liu Fangning was in a happy mood and persuaded Li Siyu.

Zhang Zhongxia went to Western Xia for more than eight months. Li Siyu's thoughts, of course Liu Fangning and the others knew.

"God bless the Great Song! God bless my Great Song Border Army! God bless me as the son of Song! ”

Li Siyu couldn't help but say with emotion.

Zhang Zhongxia, as well as the Great Song soldiers who came to Xia's aid, return triumphantly as soon as possible.
