Chapter 72 The Master

It is said that people's lives on the battlefield are as cheap as dogs, and Chen Mu feels that the surviving soldiers are not as good as dogs.

The victorious flag army was not very happy. There was only silence on the battlefield where corpses were everywhere, and their ears were filled with faint breathing. In front of them were the exhausted flag army, which was twisting and twisting to rest on their corpses.

They won.

Since a stray bullet shot from Chen Mu's formation knocked down the enemy leader, the battle became a one-sided massacre. During the brief stalemate and battle stage between the two sides, the rebels suffered at most 200 casualties and could enter the pursuit stage. In the end, their gains were more than 500.

Chen Mu did not lie in the pile of corpses like the tired flag army, and walked on the battlefield with a scattered knife, and finished the rebels on the ground who could not be saved by just one glance, reducing their pain.

As for those cowards who were slightly injured or pretended to be dead, Fu Yuan, who was behind him, tied up with the flag army, and handed them over to Shangguan Bai Yuanjie with the surrendered prisoners.

They have their own destiny. No matter what, the war is over. Chen Mu doesn't want to kill anyone again after the end.

If someone else kills it, it's just someone else's business.

In the distance, Wei Balang jumped over and held a kettle, holding a long spear in his hand, and a long sword hanging on his waist jingled and stumbled. He was tripped by something and cursed, "Oh, stupid!" He fell into the pile of corpses, got up and kicked on the ground angrily, and then jumped back.

After a while, he jumped over happily and held the kettle in front of Chen Mu, "Master Flag, drink water!"

"Yes." Chen Mu took the kettle, raised his head and took a few sips, handed the water bag to Hachiro, and then said: "Precaution your flag army next time in war, don't always think about losing your subordinates and rushing forward."

Wei Balang looked dissatisfied, and with his thin backbone, he was eager to try from head to toe, "I can cut them to death and stab them to death!"

This kid inherited the Ming army's fanatical yearning for the first-level merits. Because of Chen Mu's appearance, he abandoned the cowardice of the Guard Army. He wanted to take the initiative in every battle. However, as soon as he rushed out, Chen Mu took the back of his neck and threw it behind his butt.

This made Chen Mu sigh that the Ming army must maintain a high morale and fearless mentality like Wei Balang. The battlefield was so frenzy like a newborn puppy, and even a knife was needed to get into a crack. What is the case with the Japanese slaves from the Jianzhou Jurchens outside the northern border? What is the nonsense?

Unfortunately, only this stupid child is so fanatic. Even Chen Mu thinks Wei Balang is like a little fool.

Who can you beat your little arms and legs?

Chen Mu smiled, not taking Hachiro's words seriously, patted the child's head to death, and said impatiently: "Go and call Shiqi, it's a casualty that has not been calculated yet."

"Why!"

Wei Balang ran in response, not as active as in the ancient battlefield where corpses were everywhere, but as relaxed and comfortable as in Qingyuanwei, he was letting him run.

Seeing his cheerful back leaping in the river of blood flowing into the mountains of corpses, bones and seas, Chen Mu suddenly didn't want Wei Balang to be a military household.

"Fu Yuan, you can't read, aren't you?"

Chen Mu suddenly remembered and turned his head to say something to Fu Yuan who was lying in the pile of corpses and turned his back. He scared the timid gambling man to great tremblingly and replied tremblingly: "Ah, hey, General Qi, Bei Zhi is just a ruined military household, how can he have such great fortune to read? Haha, these people are rich!"

Fu Yuan weighed the waist bag in his hand and handed it to Chen Mu, and smiled and said with apologies: "Master Flag, the broken silver is almost thirty taels, and there are more copper coins. Where did these stupid kids rob and get so much money?"

"Do you want to read or not? When you return to Qingcheng, Chen invites you a Master Meng." Chen took the money bag and roamed his hand, "Do you know how much it costs to hire a Master Meng?"

The teachers were divided into Meng and Jingshi, and Bai Yuanjie told him when he asked Chen Mu to take the martial arts exam.

The so-called Mengshi is the teacher who teaches children about their escapism, while the Jingshi teacher is the teacher who teaches students' imperial examinations.

The importance is different, the knowledge required is different, and the price is naturally different.

"Meng, Master Meng?" Fu Yuan lowered his head and asked, "General Banner, please ask scholars to ask for a lot of money, so Shiqi can teach you."

"Shiqi teaches you, who will lead the soldiers to Chen?" Chen shook his head and rejected Fu Yuan's suggestion, weighed the money bag in his hand, and said, "Is so much enough? You must lead the soldiers in the future, and it is impossible to be illiterate."

In fact, it was all a coincidence to let Fu Yuan and the others read. Chen Mu's main purpose was to let Wei Balang learn to read and understand the truth. He was like a Boy Scout suicide squad all day long, and sooner or later he spent his life on the battlefield.

Qingyuanwei had a wei school. In the Ming Dynasty, every wei school had an official Confucian wei school. However, for a long time, the commander of the Wei army controlled the number of surnames, and the cost of the Wei army was quite huge. It gradually became a school specializing in wei officials. For example, the 80 wei health posts in the Qingyuanwei were also occupied by the children of commanders and other major military officers.

Chen Mu was still in the Wei Academy when he was a child, but the current Xiaoqi General Banners are obviously not qualified to enter the Wei Academy.

If you want to improve your trustworthy personnel around you, you can only find another way.

Just like military expenses, if you can't get them down, you can raise them yourself!

Fu Yuan didn't say anything, but he just took the flag army to search in the pile of corpses more vigorously. Chen Mu was relieved and picked up the kettle and asked Qi Zhengyan to help him wash his face and patted some water on his nose.

The bloody smell of soaring into the sky made him suspect that his sense of smell was as bad as Lou Qimai.

"You go and tell Bai Qianhu that these corpses must be buried as soon as possible. If they cannot be burned, they can be thrown into a valley where no one is left, and they cannot be left here." Chen Mu frowned and appointed a flag army to say, "It will cause plague."

The flag army took the order and left. Chen Mu knew that Bai Yuanjie would take his words as a matter. After all, there were traces of the way the Ming army dealt with the corpses in the Battle of Xinjiang.

The heads took away the merits, some of the corpses of friendly robes were taken away and properly placed, while some of the corpses of friendly robes were dug holes and buried neatly; as for the enemy's handling, they had to be sloppy - the beheads were recorded and the corpses were buried in a mess.

The difference is that the Battle of Xinjiang is an unwalking river bank and woodland, while the Battle of Mushan is a narrow but traffic-friendly valley avenue. It will be passed through passers-by in the future. If improper handling is done, it will easily cause plague.

Shaozhou Prefecture and Qing were not far away, and Chen Mu was worried that once the plague spread, he would not be able to control it.

Not long after, the flag army sent to inform Bai Yuanjie about this matter had not yet returned, and Wei Balang came over with a frown Shiqi. Shiqi, who was covered in military armor, held a brush and drew on the booklet, and said to Chen Mu: "The general flag army has suffered no casualties, and many local heroes have died - they cut their heads on the battlefield, they are too greedy."

Chen Mu took the booklet and glanced briefly, nodded to show that he knew. He looked up and saw Shi Qi looking embarrassed, and asked, "Why, there is something else?"
