Chapter 680 Comforting the Soldiers
As the sound of ringing gold sounded, the Liangzhou army that was climbing on top of the city and the ladder quickly retreated like a tide.
Some doctors in the army were already ready. They used hot water to clean the wounds of the wounded soldiers. They used knives to cut the flesh of the wounded soldiers, took out the arrows that were deeply embedded in them, and then wrapped them with cloth strips that had been soaked in hot water.
After this cleaning, the lightly injured soldier groaned and felt much better.
"General Zhendong has arrived!"
Soldiers had already opened the way first, and with a shout, dozens of armored soldiers arrived, surrounded by a fully clothed general. It was Liu Ye's general, General Jin, who was ordered to guard Yanzhou and took sole responsibility.
When the doctors in the camp saw Yu Jin arriving in person, they hurriedly stood up and saluted: "I have seen Yu Zhendong."
Yu Jin waved his hand and said, "It's important to treat the injuries and illnesses, don't worry about me."
Although the doctor could not help but feel a little nervous, he still followed his words and continued to treat the wounded.
Yu Jin asked a wounded man who had been bandaged: "How do you feel?"
The wounded soldiers couldn't help but be a little excited when they saw General Zhendong's warm words of comfort.
"Yu Zhendong, I feel very good. The wound is not as painful as before, thanks to these doctors." The wounded soldier said gratefully.
"Haha, that's good. If you are injured while fighting for the country, the imperial court should be held responsible." Yu Jin said warmly, "Don't worry, if the injury is serious, the imperial court will still provide compensation."
The wounded soldier nodded excitedly: "My life belongs to the imperial court. Wherever the general points, I will fight!"
Yu Jin walked out of the wounded barracks and sighed to Xu Shu beside him: "Yuanzhi, the general is really far-sighted and specially ordered to organize doctors in the army. Since the establishment of the medical camp, there have been very few casualties among our army's wounded soldiers."
The reason why ancient wars were so tragic, with so many casualties, was that a large proportion of those killed were not killed on the spot, but died due to poor treatment after being injured. Ancient medical knowledge lagged far behind modern times, and there were very few medical doctors in the army.
Liu Ye considered that modern armies had field hospitals and military doctors, which effectively guaranteed the recovery and recovery of the wounded, so he made up his mind to set up a medical battalion in the army.
There should be three medics for every thousand soldiers, so that most of the wounded can receive effective treatment. In fact, when Liu Ye first made this decision, he encountered a lot of resistance, but Liu Ye made the decision with all his strength.
"My husband, the king's soldiers, fought for the imperial court, died for the country, and were seriously injured but could not be treated. Isn't it royal?"
Liu Ye acted arbitrarily and paid a lot of money to hire famous doctors from Guanzhong and asked them to teach hundreds or thousands of apprentices on a large scale. Many doctors are not happy, because in ancient times, all walks of life were very self-respecting. Although many apprentices may be accepted, only a few or even one person can receive the true inheritance, which is called the teaching mantle. This is to prevent the disciples from starving to death. .
Liu Ye, on the other hand, directly hired famous doctors with large gifts of thousands of gold, and promised that as long as they were alive, the court would provide special subsidies every year. As a result, some famous doctors were finally hired and promised to teach disciples.
After several months of training, these young people studying medicine were sent to garrisons in Yongliang, Nanyang, Yanzhou, Jizhou, and Luoyang. However, there was still a huge gap, so Liu Ye specially drew a sum of funds from the treasury. , rewarding young people who study medicine, and many followers suddenly followed.
Xu Shu nodded and said with emotion: "The general loves his soldiers like his own children and treats his soldiers with such care. Naturally, everyone in the three armies is willing to serve. No wonder the Liangzhou army is so intimidating to the world."
Yu Jin said: "Yuan Zhi, let's go and have a look at the seriously injured camp."
"Dare to disobey orders."
Yu Jin and Xu Shu walked out of the injured camp and strode towards the seriously injured camp.
Before they even got close, they heard a low wailing sound, and Yu Jin and Xu Shu couldn't help but frown.
The guards in front of the severely injured camp saw Yu Jin and the two men and saluted hurriedly.
"No problem, let me go in to visit the seriously injured soldiers."
Yu Jin waved his hand and walked into it with Xu Shu.
The people lying in the camp were all seriously injured, either because they had gold juice poured on their bodies, or because their wounds were so deep that their bones were visible, and they were bleeding. The doctors tried their best to bandage them, but these people could only resign themselves to their fate.
"well"
Yu Jin couldn't help but sigh. He was selfless and rigorous in running the army, but in fact he was cold on the outside and warm on the inside towards his soldiers. He often used his salary to provide extra meals for the soldiers. Some soldiers were poor at home and had no money to serve their mothers, so they wept secretly. When Yu Jin saw it, he asked about it and secretly ordered someone to send a thousand coins and five pieces of silk to the soldier's home.
Guan Yu flooded seven armies, and Yu Jin chose to surrender, not necessarily to save the lives of his soldiers.
As soon as this incident came out, the officers and soldiers of the three armies were all moved.
"General, the general is here!"
"It's Yu Zhendong. Yu Zhendong came to see us."
Many seriously injured soldiers couldn't help but get excited when they saw Yu Jin, but Yu Jin hurriedly said: "Don't get up, lest your wounds be involved."
Many of the seriously injured people lay down, but they tried their best to suppress their wails, not wanting Yu Jin to hear them.
I saw a Liangzhou soldier with multiple wounds on his body, and blood was constantly oozing from the wounds. He was young, with a round baby face, probably just over twenty years old, and his teeth were clenched.
Yu Jin slowly sat next to him and asked with concern: "How do you feel?"
"Yu Zhendong, I'm fine." As soon as the seriously injured soldier spoke, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"Yu Zhendong, I'm afraid so-and-so won't survive. I have something to ask you, can you do it?"
He looked at Yu Jin and cried.
Yu Jin gently held his hand and said warmly: "Whatever you say, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to it."
"My father died early. Thanks to my mother's hard work in raising me, I am afraid that I will die now. The only thing I miss is my mother."
"After I die, can the general take care of me? If so, the villain will die in peace."
Yu Qian shook his hand forcefully and said solemnly: "Don't think so, you have to hold on, live, and take good care of your mother!"
"If anything happens, I will take care of the elderly."
The seriously wounded man nodded with tears streaming down his face: "I trust Yu Zhendong's words."
Yu Jin sighed, let go of his hand, and then asked some seriously injured soldiers. They all endured the pain, which made Yu Jin feel quite worried. For heaviness.
After the two of them walked out of the severely injured barracks, they both fell silent. They looked at each other speechlessly for a moment and could only give a wry smile.
"Alas, these are all elite soldiers." Xu Shu sighed, "It's such a pity."
Yu Jin was silent for a while, then suddenly clenched his fists.
"That's why I want to follow the general. The general is the hero of the world. He will definitely be able to clear the clouds and see the sun. Then there will be no more wars in the world!"
