Chapter two hundred and sixteen after the war
After Li Chengdong's army set off, Zhu Youlang went back to sleep, cleaning the battlefield, dealing with prisoners, and treating the wounded. Wu Bing, Huang Zongxi, Wang Fuzhi, and Chen Jitai were suffering.
After not sleeping all night, Zhu Youlang was so sleepy. When he returned to his journey, Li Hong took care of him and washed his feet, went to bed and fell asleep as soon as he hit the pillow.
When I woke up, it was late noon.
After using the meal, Zhu Youlang saw that Chen Bowen had come to serve him and asked: "Is there anything important?"
"Back to the emperor, just now, Lord Wu, Lord Huang, Lord Wang and his father sent people to send documents, all of which were for post-war disposal." Chen Bowen said, handing over several documents.
Zhu Youlang took it over and looked it over. He saw that Wu, Huang and Chen reported all the results of the war and the losses, while Wang Fuzhi reported the measures for post-war disposal.
In terms of the results of the battle, a total of 35,000 Qing soldiers were wiped out and 81,000 captured. In addition to a few war soldiers, they were mainly auxiliary soldiers and servants. Tens of 13,000 war horses, countless food and grass, and 183,000 taels of gold and silver were seized, most of which were searched from the Qing soldiers.
In terms of war damage, our army suffered a total of 5,114 casualties, most of which were caused by the defeated soldiers trampling on each other. Fu Ming Bolincha and Navy Admiral Zhao Yuelong were seriously injured and were being treated, but life and death were unpredictable.
Zhu Youlang was satisfied with the result of the battle, but Zhu Youlang was not satisfied with the loss of the battle.
He had the most advanced weapons in his hand, and there were so many casualties, which shows how relaxed Lin Cha's training in the army was.
Wang Fuzhi was responsible for organizing the people to bury the bodies and rescue the wounded. The weather was hot. In order to prevent the spread of corpses and poisons and cause the epidemic, Wang Fuzhi organized people to dig several large pits in the west of the city, gathered the dead bodies of Qing soldiers and war horses, burned them all, and then buried them deep; the dead bodies of Ming soldiers were registered and buried one by one, and steles were recorded on each tomb.
Zhu Youlang was satisfied with Wang Fuzhi's disposal measures.
However, Zhu Youlang was still a little worried.
After a person dies, it is bounded by twenty-four hours. Twenty-four hours before it is called the early corpse phenomenon, and then it is called the late corpse phenomenon.
Early corpses include muscle relaxation, cold corpses (i.e. warm corpses), corpses zombies, corps spots, local dryness, autolysis, etc. In the late corpses, corpses rot, mold, mummy, corpses, wax, peat tanned corpses, etc.
Overall, the possibility of early corpses is less likely to cause an epidemic, while the possibility of late corpses is more likely to cause an epidemic outbreak.
In the humid and hot climate conditions of Zhangzhou, if the body is not buried within 24 hours, an epidemic is likely to occur.
Thirty-five thousand Qing soldiers, five thousand Ming soldiers, and forty-seven thousand corpses were enough for the king's busy work.
Zhu Youlang thought for a while and said, "Bowen, immediately ordered Li Yuanyin to send the imperial guards to participate in the burial of the body, and wait for the farmer to dispatch it. Be sure to bury all the bodies deep before dawn tomorrow, and it is best to sprinkle another layer of lime."
"I obey the order." Chen Bowen agreed, and saw that Zhu Youlang had no other instructions, so he quickly turned around and left.
When Zhu Youlang saw Chen Bowen leaving, he thought that nothing happened, and under Wen Yin's escort, he left.
He is going to visit the wounded soldiers.
This is Zhu Youlang's habit.
In his opinion, these wounded soldiers are a great asset to the army. Because they have experienced life and death, they have no fear of the battlefield and have richer combat experience. When these veterans recover from injuries, they will increase the combat effectiveness of the army a lot. If they recruit new soldiers and build a new army as a skeleton, the combat effectiveness of the army will not be much reduced.
At the same time, visiting them in person is a kind of honor, an incentive, and an promotion to improve the sense of honor of soldiers.
The Imperial Guard Hospital set up a medical point in the Imperial Guard’s barracks and temporarily set up many tents to treat wounded soldiers.
Xing Xiaozao was performing hand suture surgery on a wounded soldier. When he saw the emperor, Xing Xiaozao came up to him. After seeing the ceremony, he said, "Your Majesty, why are you here in such a place? It's too dirty and tastes bad."
"I am not that delicate. The soldiers are injured by the country. It is also appropriate for me to come and see them." Zhu Youlang said.
His voice was neither loud nor small, anyway, he guaranteed that those soldiers could hear it.
"You are the one who can truly regard the soldiers as human beings." Xing Xiaozao said.
"What's wrong with the soldiers? The soldiers are bleeding for the country and fighting for the people. They are the greatest. I come to see them, just to let everyone in the world know that the Ming soldiers are the most glorious." Zhu Youlang said as he walked to the soldier Xing Xiaozao was performing his skills.
The soldier was biting a small wooden stick in his mouth, which was supposed to be used to resist the pain. When he saw the emperor coming over and heard what the emperor had just said, his eyes were filled with tears.
Those were tears of emotion.
Zhu Youlang took it as if he didn't see it, and looked at his wound and found that the wound had been sewn halfway, but the needle angle was very irregular. This should be because the performer was tired and his hands were weak, so this situation occurred.
He quickly turned his head and looked at Xing Xiaozao. Seeing that she was in poor spirits, her face turned pale and asked, "Are you tired?"
"Well, I've been busy since the morning and I haven't stopped yet." Xing Xiaozao replied.
"You take a break and drink a little water. I will help you with this operation." Zhu Youlang finished speaking and went to wash his hands. Xing Xiaozao felt Zhu Youlang's care, and felt very sweet in his heart. He thought to himself: "It's not in vain that day that he helped him reduce the fever. It seems that he really doesn't remember what happened that day."
Thinking of this, seeing that the emperor had washed his hands, he hurriedly stepped forward to help disinfect his hands with strong wine.
Without anesthetics, when the wound is sutured, the wounded soldier must resist.
"Hold on, and the sewing will be done in a while." Zhu Youlang glanced at the wounded soldier and said softly.
The wounded soldier nodded firmly with tears in his eyes.
Zhu Youlang's movements were quick and quick because he had a good rest, and he was stitched in a short while.
Xing Xiaozao came over, helped with medicine, bandaged the wound, and took off the wooden stick from the wounded soldier's mouth.
The wounded soldier had tears in his eyes and looked at Zhu Youlang and said, "Thank you... Thank you, the emperor, the little one is called Li Dazhuang. If you save the little one, there is nothing to repay. This life will be the emperor in the future."
Zhu Youlang said to himself, "What do I want your life to do? It's better to give a red envelope if you are innocent."
"Dazhuang, don't think too much. Recover your wounds well. Go back to the army to make achievements. This is my repayment."
"Your Majesty, the younger ones must be well prepared for their injuries. If they are well prepared for their injuries, they must kill more Tartars!" Li Dazhuang said excitedly.
"Get a good rest." Zhu Youlang comforted Li Dazhuang.
He turned around and said to Xing Xiaozao: "You must be busy with work if you don't let you work. I ordered you to go to bed immediately. You will not be allowed to come back in less than an hour. I will keep an eye on you here for the time being."
"Abide by the order!" Xing Xiaozao was scolded, but she was very sweet and happy. She quickly agreed and went down to rest.
