83 Eternal Life

As one of the generals in the late Ming Dynasty, Man Gui also supported his family members. The reason was that the court paid too little military salary, so the entire army could not be maintained at all, so he had to raise some of it. At least half of the reason why it became a strange military practice in the late Ming Dynasty was that the court had no money to cause trouble.

Therefore, Man Gui would of course treat his subordinates differently. What's more, these injured soldiers were actually soldiers of the Jing camp. After his own subordinates fought against Jianlu for a few battles outside the city, only a few hundred clans were left.

I saw Man Gui crossing the civil officials and reporting to Hu Guang: "Your Majesty, there are too many injured soldiers, and there are not enough barracks at the city gate, so they can only be temporarily placed here."

Hu Guang was dissatisfied with it and immediately shouted: "Li Fengxiang, where is Cao Huachun?"

The Admiral of Jingying and the Admiral of Dongchang both took the lead and obeyed the orders together.

Hu Guang looked at the two men and ordered with a serious face: "The soldiers are injured, and they must be properly placed as soon as possible. There are no empty barracks at the city gate, so they must be resettled back to the Beijing camp barracks. If the number of people is not enough, even if the people are drawn, I will see someone who cannot properly arrange the injured soldiers next time. I asked you, did you hear it?"

"I obey the order!" Li Fengxiang and Cao Huachun did not dare to neglect them, kept it in mind, and replied loudly.

"Ding, achievement value +1, comes from the wounded sword armor!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, comes from the injured soldier B!"

“…”

After Hu Guang finished giving the order, he heard the system prompt sound. He turned around and saw that the wounded soldiers were excited, and wanted to kneel down to thank him. He couldn't help but say: "The soldiers must not move around, so as not to aggravate their injuries."

As he said this, his eyes swept across the wounds of a group of wounded soldiers in front of him. The brow frowned again and asked, "Why is the wound so careless?"

The Beijing camp has long been rotten, and various systems have already been in name only, so there may be any military doctors. The soldiers responsible for taking care of the injured were panicked and quickly knelt down and replied: "We won't!"

Hu Guang stared at them for a while, but he didn't believe it. Even these soldiers didn't know how to do it, they were just sent here at random. But as long as they were serious and responsible, they would not bandage them hastily.

However, he understood that some things were inertial and had other means to use, so he didn't have to be severely criticized. Therefore, he pretended not to know and believed them. He turned to Cao Huachun and said, "Collection of doctors and apprentices from all over the city, etc. If it is not enough, let the imperial doctors go together, and we must try our best to rescue the injured soldiers."

"I obey the order!" Cao Huachun accepted the order loudly.

No surprise, at this moment, a system prompt sounded again. Obviously, these ordinary soldiers were actually very satisfied. Even if they were given the basic treatment they should have received, they would be grateful.

Hu Guang thought so, but he didn't consider the blessing of the emperor's halo. If it were just ordinary people who said this, there would definitely be no such achievements.

He looked at the soldiers in front of him with a little emotion and found that their military uniforms were covered with patches. No one had iron armor, all of them were cotton armor. Therefore, facing the Jianlu Arrow Rain, their defense ability was weaker and many more injured people were injured.

After seeing this, Hu Guang turned to look at Nan Juyi, the Minister of Works, and said, "City defense equipment, especially those who are defending arrows, must be built at a faster pace. Do you understand?"

"I will receive the order, and I will work day and night." Nan Juyi quickly made a statement again, and when he returned, he decided to adjust the focus of his work.

"Also have armor, try to match the soldiers on the rotating front of the city to provide them with life guarantees. Do you understand?" Hu Guang ordered again.

This time, Nan Juyi was a little stunned when he heard this and felt a little hesitant.

When Hu Guang saw it, he immediately found something wrong and shouted: "Why, are there any difficulties?"

"I will also do my best!" Nan Juyi had to promise, and then replied, "It's just that there is not enough iron, I'm afraid..."

The imperial court had no money, so the previous iron reserves could not be sufficient. In fact, it was a serious shortage. I had to just pass by it before, and this problem was exposed in the war.

When Hu Guang heard this, he frowned. When he was about to say something, he saw the roof of the house within his sight. He couldn't help but lit up his eyes. He immediately turned his head to look at Man Gui and Li Fengxiang and said, "Try to match the armor as well as possible. Before it is fully equipped, you can ask the soldiers in the army to make local armor first, prepare some tiles for them, sew them into cotton armor and helmets, and reduce the probability of the soldiers being injured. Do you know?"

During the battle to defend the city, a large part of the injury of the defenders on the top of the city is caused by enemy archers. If tiles are sewn on key parts of the body as iron pieces, the damage of the arrows can be reduced in some ways.

When Man Gui heard this, he immediately showed joy on his face and he shouted: "I will obey the order!"

If there are simple means to reduce casualties under his command, no one will care. Even if they ignore ordinary soldiers, the same will be true.

Everyone stared at the young emperor in front of him. They didn't believe it if the emperor knew this method before, because they had never heard of it. In this way, when the emperor encountered problems, he could immediately give such an alternative method, which could effectively reduce the casualty rate of soldiers guarding the city. This is definitely a genius and the emperor was wise and powerful!

"Ding, achievement value +1, comes from the wounded sword armor!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from eunuch B!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from civil servant C!"

“…”

Hu Guang was already immune to the system's prompt sound. After all, there were too many times and there was no shortage of achievement values ​​at this time. Therefore, he didn't even look at how many achievement values ​​he had. He began to walk slowly into the alley. While walking, he looked kind and slowly glanced at the injured soldiers who were politely watching him.

The six ministers and cabinet ministers behind them were also the assistant ministers. Whether they wanted to or not, the emperor had already taken the lead. They had to put down their airs. Whether they were pretending or not, they all showed a friendly attitude and followed them into the scene.

When Hu Guang walked to the innermost side of the alley, he saw the corpse lying all over the ground and couldn't help but stand and look at it silently.

The injured soldiers did not receive the treatment they deserved, let alone these dead ones. This is a bit incredible to people in later generations. This situation will definitely not appear in a strong army.

If the injured soldiers are not properly arranged and the sacrificed soldiers are not penalized, they will not be exempted from their worries, so how can they dare to fight?

Every time when talking about the Ming army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was always defeated and stormed thousands of miles away. In addition to the factors of leading the generals, the court could not let the soldiers get rid of their worries, which was also an important reason.

Hu Guang turned his head and looked at the senior Ming official following behind him, and said with a serious expression: "If you see it, the court has no money, so there will be many soldiers who have suffered casualties. If you see it, it is all the price of life."

Speaking of this, he looked at everyone in the alley and announced loudly: "When the war is over, I will personally preside over the aftermath of the fallen soldiers. I will also build the Daming Loyalty Hall. All those who sacrificed for the Ming Dynasty and fulfilled their loyalty to the country will enjoy the Daming incense and live with the country forever!"
