The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 95 Reorganization of Prisoners
At the end of the war, Liu Tai gathered his soldiers and found that the soldiers were quite compliant when captured.

Liu Tai captured them, but did not take them to Linzi immediately. Instead, he returned to Changguo and began to build a prisoner camp.

This time, except for those who died in battle and some who escaped, Liu Tai directly took more than 3 prisoners.

At this moment, they all surrendered to Liu Tai very cooperatively. Even when Liu Tai expressed the need to establish a prisoner camp, those soldiers who had been Liu Tai's prisoners jumped out and expressed their willingness to help.

Because of the attentiveness of these prisoners, Liu Ming said, "Is there any fraud here!?"

"Let these prisoners form an independent battalion. They have lost their weapons and armor. Even if there is trouble, we can suppress it!"

Liu Tai said decisively, "Let them work and live in the house built by myself. After all, it will be more peaceful."

When Liu Ming saw Liu Tai's words, he didn't say much.

Liu Tai didn't care if the prisoners were in a mess, because even if they were messed up, he would just clean them up again.

After all, the commanders such as Gou Xi, Gou Chun and Shao Xu were completely controlled by Liu Tai and would not allow them to come into contact with the soldiers.

At this moment, Liu Tai commanded the medical battalions under his command to start busy rescuing the soldiers in the military camp.

Although saving lives and healing the wounded should not have a stance, doctors need to have a stance. The medicines I have saved over the year and the best doctors are all going to save our injured soldiers as soon as possible, fulfilling their responsibilities as a battlefield medical battalion. thing.

Liu Tai's army began to skillfully cooperate with battlefield rescue, classifying the status of the soldiers, and then distinguishing them one by one from serious to light, and saving every soldier as much as possible.

The most seriously injured soldiers were often those whose internal organs were displaced due to direct impact from horses. Whether they could be saved or not, even if Wang Rujing and Meng Dong took action, all depended on luck.

Even so, both of them tried their best to save the soldiers. For the soldiers who were only scratched or wounded by swords, they just took the medicine and cloth to stop the bleeding and gave it to their comrades to help them.

At the same time, some soldiers gathered together the soldiers who died in the battle. According to military custom, these people would burn them and bury them collectively to erect monuments, and then the whole army would observe silence.

This has also become a ritual for Liu Tai's army.

So the war was very busy, and Liu Tai's army was even busier after the war.

In addition to the busy medical camp, the Huotou Army responsible for taking care of the food was also busy.

Now that the battle has been won, there is no need to celebrate to improve morale. For convenience, we even cooked meals for the prisoners.

This time, the soldiers ate coarse-grain steamed buns made by grinding winter wheat that had been harvested in the rear.

After all, the wheat flour ground by the water mills of this era could not be as fine as that grinded by modern machinery.

The texture of coarse-grain steamed buns is really rough, at least to Liu Tai, but it is already top-notch delicious in this era.

An unlimited amount of coarse grain steamed buns, paired with a bowl of fragrant meat and bone soup with a piece of meat, is an unimaginable delicacy for the soldiers who have been eating mainly coarse millet.

Someone carefully cut off a piece of vinegar cloth and put it into the fragrant meat and bone soup, and Meimei took a big sip.

After eating such delicacies, the entire army's atmosphere, which had become somewhat solemn due to the war, became much more relaxed and restored.

At the same time, the captured army was fed the same food at this time.

However, each of them can only eat a fist-sized coarse grain steamed bun and drink a bowl of meatless broth for one meal.

They were eating coarse-grain steamed buns and looked at the clearly visible oil and water floating on the broth. They couldn't help but look at each other, and some of them couldn't help but have an idea in their minds.

It tastes so delicious. Is this his own meal? Does Liu Tai want to bury himself and others alive tomorrow?
Fear could not help but arise in their hearts, but facing the closed management of the captive camp, they had no weapons, let alone armor.

They knew that Qingzhou was suffering from a locust plague, and Gou Xi did not do much to manage it. Even if they escaped, it was unknown whether they could survive.

And here, even if Liu Tai wants to bury them alive, at least... at least he can be a dead ghost!

With this idea of ​​lying down completely, they spent the night in uneasiness. When they got up, everyone had very dark circles in their eyes, and no one looked like they had slept well.

But at this moment, Liu Tai appeared in front of them with a large army equipped with armor.

Seeing the weapons in the hands of this army and the armor on their bodies, the menacing appearance frightened the captured soldiers.

They looked at each other worriedly, thinking that if Liu Tai was really planning to trap and kill them, as long as someone was willing to take the lead in charging, they would immediately choose to follow him.

And Liu Tai said: "In this square, you bring me the injured in your military camp one by one. The doctors in the medical camp will do their best to rescue the injured. It is best to send the seriously injured first." come over."

"Is this rescuing us...real or fake..."

The soldiers listened to Liu Tai's words with some disbelief.

Because they really didn't expect that Liu Tai would actually do such a thing to save them?Unheard of!
Soon some soldiers who believed in Liu Tai's words returned to the camp, carried out the injured soldiers and handed them over to the medical camp.

The doctors from the medical camp immediately treated the patient.

Because Liu Taike hadn't yet obtained the formula for Ma Fei Powder, the best way to anesthetize him at this time was to hold a biting stick in the soldier's mouth and tie all his limbs to the table for physical fixation.

Then the sword marks or arrow wounds on these soldiers were treated.

Again, most of the injuries suffered by soldiers on the battlefield were sword wounds or bone injuries.

The most serious ones are those where all the internal organs are displaced after being hit by a horse. This kind of injury is basically helpless.

However, the highest fatality rate is wound infection, and in this era, there is almost no solution to wound infection.

The only thing Liu Tai knew was that penicillin could solve the problem of wound infection, but the problem was that Liu Tai had no idea how to cultivate penicillin.

Therefore, the most effective data method in this era is the careful care of the medical camp and the physical fitness of the soldiers themselves.

The only thing Liu Tai could do was to allow the captured soldiers to eat one more coarse-grain steamed bun per meal to ensure physical exertion.

However, only prisoners who were resting in the medical camp were allowed to eat one more steamed bun. Those who left the medical camp, even if they were weak, were still treated like ordinary prisoners, with one steamed bun and one bowl of soup for each meal.

As the medical camp rescued these soldiers, the prisoners in the prison camp began to accept the fact that they were captured one by one. At the same time, they also believed that Liu Tai would not trap and kill them. After all, Liu Tai wanted to trap and kill them. We must save them!

Especially when a soldier with two infected wounds recovered from the medical camp and returned to the original prisoner camp, they were completely relieved.Especially when the number of soldiers who came back was almost half, they looked at the doctors in the medical camp with full respect, and some soldiers would even take the initiative to kneel down and kowtow to these doctors.

However, these doctors slightly avoided it, because the doctors in the medical camp knew that although Liu Tai allowed the medical camp to take care of and treat them, he had set a rule that any medicine that was in short supply was not allowed to be used by the prisoners.

Both Meng Dong and Wang Rujing understand this. After all, the drugs themselves are really scarce in the medical camp.

Without a stable drug production place, we can only rely on herbal collectors to collect natural and natural medicines, which makes the supply of medicinal materials difficult.

Therefore, boiling water is the most common prescription, but even boiling water requires a large amount of wood to burn.

But by asking doctors to treat the wounded, Liu Tai saw that although the prisoners were still a little wary of him, they no longer resisted his continued contact with them.

At this time, Liu Taicai calmly let the military historians come in and told them about being persecuted by Jin court officials, or occupying land, or raping young men, or having their families destroyed, or being lonely and helpless, whatever. How to say miserable.

Let’s complain together first. If we don’t express the pain in our hearts and just keep pretending, how can we be our own people!
Those Jin soldiers who had been captured were already familiar with these things. With their assistance, intermittent sobbing could be heard faintly in the prisoner camp, but Liu Tai was happy to see this. Arrived.

Seeing these prisoners empathize with themselves, military historians began to provide guidance at this time.

The problem was attributed to the fact that the gentry occupied too much land and exploited themselves too much.

Because the Jin court was incompetent and corrupt, unable to govern the country internally, and unable to pacify foreign enemies externally, we are in the disaster we are in today.

Therefore, we should destroy the Jin court and restore the Han Dynasty.

Only by overthrowing the Jin court can we get back the right to survive. Only by defeating the soldiers can we have our own land.

After hearing the guidance of military historians, these soldiers told the truth that they didn't know whether this was right or wrong.

But for them who were at a loss and didn't know what the future held and could only live on instinct, they suddenly had ideas and a direction to strive for. The most important thing was to be able to get land with Liu Taiqian. At this moment, their eyes felt bright. .

Naturally, Liu Tai would not let them go directly. That would not be to cause trouble, but to let them start assisting his army in dealing with some debris and start doing some servant army work!

Liu Tai selected some soldiers who lived in Linzi to form an army and trained them to become excellent servants.

In the process, Liu Tai discovered that these soldiers were actually very obedient to military discipline.

I ordered them to complete it very well as a whole group. This level of cooperation is not even inferior to that of my own army.

In fact, Liu Tai underestimated Gou Xi's military management methods. At least in this era, if we don't count Liu Tai's dimensionality-reducing and strike-like military management methods, Gou Xi's strict military management methods are not the best in the world. It can also be said that he is unique in the world.

After these soldiers experienced Gou Xi's strict military management, they actually had a pretty good foundation as soldiers.

At this moment, Liu Tai is instilling nationalist ideas into them, allowing them to find the direction of struggle. This is like a piece of quite good jade that has been handed over to Liu Tai's hands to be polished, and it has gradually revealed its subtle brilliance. Come.

However, Liu Tai's unhurried training made Liu Ming, Ge Xin, Zhao An and Zhou Ping feel a little confused at the moment, so they came together to ask Liu Tai about their doubts, "We won't go." Conquer Linzi?"

"Linzi is now in the hands of the Hebei Beggar Army. Let's not say that we have completely digested the surrender of Gou Xi's troops. If we attack directly, if we lose, it will cause a huge morale fluctuation."

Liu Tai explained, “So it’s better to stay for a few more days and complete the reorganization of the army before going.

Moreover, soldiers from Linzi were specially selected and asked to work as beggars. I believe they are willing to fight for their lives! "

"Isn't Tian Zhen there...will we be defeated?" Ge Xin asked with a little confusion after hearing Liu Tai's words.

After hearing Ge Xin's words, Liu Ming, Zhou Ping and Zhao An couldn't help but look at each other, as if they all understood something.

Liu Tai replied relatively calmly to Ge Xin:
“The number of the beggar army is staggering, and it’s probably impossible for Tian Tian to manage them all.

As long as he can push the beggar army to take the initiative to fight us, it's enough. As for the rest, we really can't ask for more!

After all, only when the beggar army is defeated head-on will they truly be convinced! "

"Oh!" Ge Xin nodded as if he understood what Liu Tai said, and said, "Wherever the general points, I will hit!"

Hearing Ge Xin's words, Liu Tai just smiled calmly, and then stepped up the reorganization work.

In fact, Tian Tian at this time was also one of the top two.

After all, the beggar army wanted to survive in the first place, so they were naturally willing to listen to Tian Tian's words.

But with the occupation of Linzi, small canals began to appear like mountains.

They are from the same clan, have outstanding martial arts skills, and are brothers in life and death. This kind of beggar army is the easiest to get out of trouble.

When Liu Tai followed Wang Mi to attack Luoyang, Liu Tai himself couldn't count how many hills there were in a rebel army.

After all, even Liu Tai himself is considered a small person. If everyone has no food to eat, then everyone is willing to work together to get a bite of food.

However, due to the misfortune in Linzi City in the past few days, the beggar army had enough to eat, so naturally each of these guys started to cause a lot of trouble.

Some hope that Tian Tian will become king and dominate, some want to continue to plunder surrounding cities, and some want to develop in Linzi...

They always use whatever opinions they put forward, and the only consensus among them is that I have finally become the master of the family, and there is no way I can go back to farming. How comfortable it would be to continue to rob local aristocratic families to obtain food!

If Tian Tian still had a hint of wanting to be independent a few days ago, but as the past few days passed, his somewhat heated head began to calm down.

Suddenly, I felt like there were a bunch of insects around me. Even the most critical food in Linzi was about to be exhausted. Didn't you feel it? What else could it cause if the noise continued like this!

Now Tian Tian just hopes that Liu Tai will come over quickly and clean up the group of insects around him!

"Report, Commander-in-Chief, Liu Tai is coming with his army!"

After hearing this, Tian Zhen's eyes that had been absent-minded suddenly regained their brilliance. Tian Zhen stood up and said loudly,

"Let's defeat Liu Tai first and plunder Liu Tai's food and grass, and then discuss future development!"
