Traveler Major League

Chapter 32

At noon, each platoon gathered all the people in the village, old and young, into the middle of the open space. Only a few people escaped over the wall, and Liu Ze didn't bother to send people to hunt them down. yourself, but there is no need to kill them all.

There are only four hundred people in the village together, and only a hundred of them are young and strong.

When soldiers were sent to gather these villagers, some young and strong people still gathered together to resist and refuse to surrender, desperately saying that Liu Ze was a bandit and a robber. The embarrassing promise, otherwise the sky will be hit by five thunders and there will be no place to bury the promise, so everyone gradually believes and then gives up resistance.

Looking at the chaotic crowd, the adults crying and children howling were full of fear and anxiety, and some of the wounded were being carried aside, it was really frustrating to watch, Liu Ze shouted: "Everyone listen to me, I am We are here to share the land and the floating wealth with you. We are not bandits, we are a team of the poor! It is noon now, and I will arrange a lunch immediately. After a good meal, we will have a meeting in the afternoon to discuss how to divide the land, everyone Participate!"

Liu Ze waved his hand, and the cooking team next to him began to slaughter pigs and sheep. Following the wailing of the livestock, the men in the cooking team put on their aprons and came to the chopping board. When the meat is divided, the meat and internal organs are quickly piled up separately, like a hill, which feels like a Chinese New Year festival. The children are all around the meat stall looking curiously, but they dare not If you are too close, or afraid of strangers, or afraid of blood splashing on your clothes, you will be scolded by grandma and grandma later.

Liu Ze ordered people to set up ten cauldrons among the crowd. The villagers stopped looking around and ran over to help add firewood to the fire. Some even brought seasoning and vegetables from their own homes. God, eating is one of the most effective weapons for letting your guard down, especially meat.

With the exclamation of the villagers, large pieces of meat and internal organs were put into the cold water pot. After the water was boiled, everyone covered the pot and continued to add firewood to cook. They waited aside, laughing and talking. Floating in an open space, some children smelled the smell of meat wafting from the pot, so they lingered in front of the pot, drooling at the corners of their mouths, and their eyes were still looking at the pot waiting for the meat to be cooked, but the fire beside the pot was too hot , After standing for a while, sweating profusely, the whole person seems to have taken a hot bath, the child can't stand it, so he can only listen to the adults and wait aside.

Life in the rural areas of the Ming Dynasty basically followed the tradition of not eating two meals a day after noon, and the villagers gradually felt at ease seeing themselves being treated so grandly.

Gradually, village women also came to help, and made buckwheat noodles, oat noodles, and millet rice. With the arrival of the ingredients found from the dead third master's house, many small pots were set up on the square to stir fry. All kinds of vegetables, anyway, cabbage, mustard greens, celery, water shield, and spinach are not lacking. Together with the freshly marinated oil residue, the village is full of aromas.

Now even the children forgot about the blood, and ran around the stove. Sometimes they were called to wash the dishes, and sometimes they were handed seasonings and firewood. They were happily busy.

The only ones who wept sadly were the family members of the deceased, but no one cared about them. Who made them different from ordinary villagers? They were all lackeys of the third master, and they often bullied people !

In the village, Liu Ze and the others were overjoyed by taking a rough look at the harvest in the village this time. It was only in the granary of the third master's family that there were sorghum, millet, millet, millet, buckwheat, black beans, etc. There are more than [-] shi of all kinds of miscellaneous grains, and even dozens of shi of corn. I asked the old farmers in the village and found out that corn was planted in Shaanxi during the Wanli period, but the quantity was still relatively small.

The only thing that gave Liu Ze a headache was the wounded. Apart from the dead, there were six people who were injured to the bone. There were also those who were shot in the chest and abdomen and died not long after. Unbearable eyes, but there is no doctor in the team or in the village, so Liu Ze can only drive the ducks to the shelf and do it himself.

For wounds, you can use medical disinfectant alcohol to clean and disinfect. Although it will cause wound irritation and pain, delay wound healing time and other consequences, but the first disinfection is still necessary at the beginning. After all, in the Ming Dynasty with backward medical conditions Well, bad debridement is not a joke, if you are not careful, you may die.

You can use the method of heating and condensing the wine to carry out about three distillations to obtain alcohol with a purity of 95%, then add quicklime, and then filter to obtain alcohol with a purity of almost 100%, and mix it with distilled water in a ratio of 3:1 , you can get a simple version of medical disinfectant alcohol.

All the materials needed here are just bamboo, clay pots and other common items, which is extremely simple.

Liu Ze had reproduced the production process of this kind of medical alcohol in the team before. Liu Ze took two younger but clever children to debride and disinfect the wounded one by one. Although the wounded did not know what Liu Ze was holding What is it, but it is still very cooperative, so in less than a while, the simple debridement, disinfection and bandaging work is completed.

Seeing these two children working very seriously and being very patient, Liu Ze immediately decided that these two children will be military doctors in the future of his team. Although they don't know anything yet, they can learn from Liu Ze. It's okay to paint a gourd according to the gourd.

It is better to recruit excellent doctors as soon as possible. It is best to know how to adapt and apply what you teach, Liu Ze made up his mind.

After finishing these, the meat in the pot is also cooked, the big guys sit together, each holding a bowl, waiting for the cook to distribute the meat soaked in soup in the pot, and the person who gets the meat Naturally, everyone was so happy that they could not close their mouths from ear to ear. Some didn’t even bother to use chopsticks and just grabbed and gnawed it with their hands. Some were reluctant to eat it, so they drank some soup and passed it to the children around them. He tried hard to persuade his parents to eat meat, otherwise he would not eat it himself.

The dishes cooked by the women just now are also served on the table at this moment, and all kinds of dishes are arranged in a flowing water table. Whoever wants to eat can pick up a few chopsticks. After a while, everyone eats to their heart's content, laughing and cheering The sound continued to come from the square.

Seeing that everyone had rested enough, Liu Ze assembled the team, arranged all the remains of the morning's battle dead, and placed them at the front of the team.

Liu Ze stood in front of these corpses, the dazzling sun shone on his face, but Liu Ze did not hide, he stood upright, opened his eyes and looked forward, he only felt a fire burning in his heart, And it burns more and more vigorously, and it can't be extinguished for a long time.

These people all died because they obeyed his orders. They are all good men who listened to military orders and never flinched!But what about myself?I was too indecisive, and I couldn't calm down. I didn't use explosives to attack first. Liu Ze clenched his fists and looked at the soldiers opposite with a stern face. The joy of victory on the faces of those soldiers was gradually overwhelmed by Liu Ze. Infected by the coldness.

Everyone fell silent, including the villagers in the middle of the square. They didn't know what happened, but they soon knew.

"Comrades, we won this battle! But we also paid the price of five lives! Do you still remember our previous promise?" Liu Ze looked around. Full of determination, he looked straight at Liu Ze.

Li Kefu stepped forward with red eyes and said: "We swear to avenge the poor and build our own team for the poor!"

"Yes, we want to seek justice from those big bellies of landlords and rich peasants!" There were voices of approval one after another in the team.

"So they died for our common ideals and beliefs, and they fulfilled their oath! What about us? Will we betray the promise we made together before?" Liu Ze shouted at the team, "Answer me! "

The voices in the team were noisy, and finally came together to answer: "No, we will not forget our oath!"

Liu Ze nodded and continued: "Although they have fallen, we are still alive, and more and more people will inherit our ideals in the future."

"I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid that death is meaningless, and our ideal of changing this cannibalistic society is the most meaningful thing. They sacrificed, but they will always live in our hearts! Comrades, please remember Live these martyrs who died for our common ideal!"

Liu Ze closed his eyes and continued to himself and to the soldiers: "There is only one life, if you look back on the past, you will not regret for wasting your time, and will not be ashamed for being mediocre; when you are dying, you can proudly say , 'I've given my whole life, all my energies, to the greatest thing in the world.'”

After the brief mourning ceremony, the remains of the martyrs were put into simple coffins made of wooden boards and buried in this place where they died heroically.

Everyone lined up in front of the dug grave, Liu Ze stood at the front, followed by three platoon leaders, stood at attention facing the coffin, and shouted with all their might: "Zhang Yuan, Wu Xing'en, Huang Geshou, Li Dali and Zhang Guohe, you are worthy of your oath! You can rest now! We will follow the footsteps of your oath and move forward, we will never regret it!"

The soldiers behind also shouted: "We will follow in the footsteps of your oath and continue to move forward. We will never regret a hundred deaths!"

"salute!"

Everyone followed Professor Liu Ze's way of saluting, with their upper body upright, their right hand quickly raised from the nearest arc, five fingers closed and straightened naturally, and the middle finger approaching the temple.

"Libi!"

Liu Ze led the officers to put the coffin into the tomb, and then everyone lined up to cover the coffin with soil and fill it into a tomb. Insert in the soil.

Then Liu Ze announced the reward arrangement for the morning battle. All fighters who dare to attack and never retreat will be promoted to squad leader and deputy squad leader according to their merits. Others who are not determined to fight but still follow the attack will not be punished and rewarded. All will stay behind. Those who do not move forward, conduct self-criticism in public in front of everyone.

Let's start to do big things!
