Chapter 18 Visiting the Wounded Soldiers
Chapter 18 Visiting the Wounded Soldier (")
Although Chen Kefu knew that many officers would definitely go to drink when they were disbanded, he did not plan to care about such trivial matters. These officers have been fighting outside for many years, and used to sleep in the open. Now they have finally seized such a big city. As long as they are not on duty, they go to have a few glasses of wine.
Although he didn't care about small matters such as drinking, he was very careful about the military discipline of the soldiers. As soon as he entered the city, he issued an order, strictly prohibiting smashing, looting and plundering. Although they are now in the territory of the Goguryeo and are facing the Goguryeo, he also knew deeply that a good army must have good military discipline. In this way, he indulged the soldiers this time, then there will definitely be a next time, next time. The most important thing about an army is the first commander, the first batch of officers, the first batch of soldiers, and the first batch of soldiers.
Once established, the army will be deeply imprinted. If a brave and rude general who is not afraid of death is the first commander, then this army will have a tradition of daring to fight and rushing in the future. If a bloodthirsty and without military discipline leads a soldier, then the army will have a tradition of chaos and no military discipline in the future. If a general who is loyal and brave, but who is brave, but also constrains the military discipline, then this army may become the most elite army. Those things seem invisible, but they are the soul of an army.
If they want to survive in this chaotic world, rely on the thousands of people in their hands and not be treated as a tool, they must become the elite among the elite and the excellent among the outstanding from the beginning. The first element of an excellent army must be good military discipline.
After walking out of the tent, Luo Lin hurriedly followed, "General, where are you going?"
At first, Luo Lin was a little unhappy about Chen Kefu's transfer to become a personal soldier. After all, he was also from a noble family, his grandfather was also a founding prince, and his father was also a third-rank general. He was indeed a little dissatisfied with Chen Kefu, who was a few years older than him, but after such a short time, he finally admired this poor general who was a few years younger than him from the bottom of his heart. Although he was only a farmer, his demeanor, calmness, wit and courage made him feel much better than the young men of the high-ranking families in the capital.
"Where are the injured soldiers? Let's visit them together. Yesterday and until now, I'm busy with the affairs of the Goguryeo people. Now I finally have time. I'm sorry to my brothers, I'm only going to see him now." Thinking of the face that was still alive a few days ago, many people have closed their eyes forever, and I have been disabled since then. It won't take long to go back to my hometown with my broken body. My heart is very heavy. People who live in peaceful times will never experience the cruelty of war, especially when the troubled times are about to begin. I don't know how many people will die from this family. I remember when he was reading history, he saw that there were 8.9 million households at the peak of the Sui Dynasty, with a population of about 46 million. And by the Wude period in the early Tang Dynasty, the number of households in the country was less than 3 million. You can imagine how many people died in this troubled times, and two-thirds of the number of people were reduced.
In the eight years of the War of Resistance in later generations, it was the era of aircraft and cannons. There were more than 30 million people in China who died in war. It is conceivable that dynasties alternated, and human lives were not as good as ants.
These injured soldiers in the Pojun camp should have good luck. Compared with those soldiers injured in the cruel battlefield, they can now rest in the best clinics in the city, including the Goguryeo doctors recruited from the whole city, and the various precious medicinal materials obtained from the clinics, which have saved many soldiers' lives.
Chen Kefu took the lead in entering the clinic. The lobby had been cleaned up by soldiers from the Pojun Camp. There were rows of bed boards in the spacious lobby, and the injured soldiers were all lying there to rest. Except for a few seriously injured people who could not move, most of the soldiers were well treated. Everyone knew that they had made great contributions this time, so they didn't care too much about the injuries they suffered. They gathered together to chat.
When Chen Kefu walked over, he heard about a dozen soldiers surrounded by a man who looked like a gang leader. The man's legs were wrapped tightly, and nothing else was wrong. At this time, he spitted at the soldiers with a red face, "You don't know. At that time, nearly 10,000 cavalrymen rushed towards us by the river like a wall. At that time, you boss, I was carrying a large piece of wooden board. Seeing the Goguryeo cavalry's spear in front of you, I didn't react for a while, and I just thought to myself, now that I'm done, my eyes closed at that time..."
The cavalry surrounded him listening to such vivid words, and suddenly saw him stopping and stopping, they all said dissatisfiedly, "Old Liu, please tell me quickly? When we go out, we will invite you to drink."
Old Liu paused for a moment, and when he saw everyone's anxious eyes, he couldn't help feeling very proud. Then he continued, "It was too late. At that time, a thunder thunder suddenly changed color. At this moment, a general in white robe and white armor rushed out from behind me. The general waved his hand and the head of the fierce Goguryeo thief flew into the sky..."
When everyone heard the general in white horse and white robe, they understood that what they were talking about was the general of Yingyanglang, and they all shouted loudly in their hearts.
"Aren't you waiting to die with your eyes closed? Why did you suddenly see a lightning bolt and the wind and clouds changed color? Can you still see the general chopping off the thief's head?" The one next to you was unhappy and immediately retorted.
"Yes, yes, don't you close your eyes?" Everyone who came to his senses immediately raised the flaws. The gangster was exposed on the spot and his face turned red for a moment, and he shouted angrily, "Zhang Ergouzi, I have a kind of person who killed more Liaogou on the battlefield. What kind of guy is it that hurts people behind him?"
Zhang Ergouzi said disdainfully, "Who do you think I'm afraid of? This time, my group of men and I cut down fifteen Liao dog heads and caught more than a hundred alive."
Both of them were gang leaders. Before they were assigned to Pojun Camp, they had a holiday when they were at home. Since they came to Liaodong together, they have been competing in secret, intending to overwhelm each other. However, they were considered to be half a dozen. They set foot on the land of Liaodong together, fought bravely, and even promoted to gang leaders at the same time. This time they were injured at the same time and arranged for them to heal. Both of them were not convinced by their respective leaders. They had only been here to recuperate, but they had demolished each other several times.
Chen Kefu coughed twice lightly, and when everyone turned around, they saw that it was the general who was coming, they were nervous and busy. For most of them, soldiers from peasants, if the general was a popular man in front of the emperor, he would be the commander of the first army and admired by everyone.
"Hello, General!"
Chen Kefu sat gently beside the bed, smiled and said to the soldiers who seemed a little restrained, "Everyone is always a hero in battle. Why are they so nervous when they see me? I am not a tiger. Haha." As he said that, he looked at the trooper named Zhang Ergou. Zhang Ergou was injured on his shoulder, and was pierced by a spear. Although he had been bandaged at this time, he still seemed a little shocking.
"I heard what you said just now. Your group cut down fifteen Goguryeo people and captured more than 100 alive. They are really worthy of being the hero in my military camp. Although your injury looks terrible, fortunately, you didn't hurt your bones. After your rest, you will be a hero again. When the injury is healed, come to my personal army team to report and ask Zhou Lin to arrange a team deputy for you." Chen Kefu gently inspected Zhang Ergou's injured shoulder.
When the people on the side heard that the adults had actually transferred Zhang Ergou to the personal army team, they even promoted him to the team's deputy, and they were very jealous. In particular, Old Liu was even more jealous. In the past, he and Zhang Ergou were both team leaders, but now that guy has been promoted to the team's deputy, and then he will be one level higher than himself from now on. Thinking of this, Old Liu's face was a little dissatisfied.
When Zhang Ergou heard that the general had promoted himself to be the deputy team, he was so excited. After being promoted, he had already expressed that he had officially entered the rank of the rank of the team. Although he was a mate in the past, an officer of that level was not qualified to be divided into positions and fields. Now he has become a military officer of the ninth rank, and the county magistrate in his family is only from the ninth rank. Unexpectedly, in such a short time, he had already achieved fame and fortune. He was even more unsatisfied at the moment. He did not forget to look at Old Liu proudly.
Old Liu was not convinced when he saw him as the deputy, but now he saw that he was still in this expression. He forgot that the person in front of him was General, and he said with a cross-legged look, "General, Zhang Ergou just chopped fifteen Liao dog heads and caught more than a hundred alive. My old Liu and my group of men chopped more than forty heads. Isn't this worthy of their military merits?"
Although Old Liu's name sounds like an old man, he is actually only about twenty-six or seven years old, which is about the same age as Zhang Ergou. When he thought of the two of them before, he couldn't help but feel funny. He gently looked at his injured leg and found that although he looked a little scary, he was nothing serious. After he smiled and patted his shoulder, he said, "It turns out that they are all bloody men. I will naturally be rewarded if I have merits. After you get healed, you will also be transferred to my personal army team and serve as the team's deputy."
After saying that, he looked at the wounded soldiers who were also very excited and said with a hurried smile, "This time I made great contributions to the military camp. I have asked the military officer Wang Lin, the general of the military, to rush to Liaodong to report the victory to Your Majesty. I believe that Your Majesty will definitely reward you by merit and will not be missing the rewards of everyone."
