October 1st, north of Baiquan County. Gong
Li Shan suddenly remembered for no reason that today is a holiday, and he has seven consecutive days off.
Alas, he worked hard in his previous life, and this life is not much better. He still has to work during such a long holiday... Li Shan always has a plan when doing things, and today's arrangement is to inspect the injured barracks.
Li Shan remembered that he had a small wish on the eve of the college entrance examination. When he could count money until his hands cramped, he must sleep until he woke up naturally.
However, when he was in college, Li Shan knew that he would never have such an opportunity in his life, but it seemed possible in this life. After this great victory in which tens of thousands of people were killed, if he successfully regained the three states, it would be difficult for him to survive in the long years to come. There is another chance to lead troops into battle.
Even after Li Shimin ascended the throne, so many of his generals have been staring at him for years. Even considering the balance, Li Shimin is likely to be idle for a long time.
As for serving in the court, Li Shan knew himself that he did not have the ability to handle complicated affairs because he was too young after all.
All in all, after this battle, I may not be able to count money until my hands cramp, but I will probably sleep until I wake up naturally. Gong
Li Shan has no resistance to this possible situation. On the one hand, he himself feels that he has been too busy in the past few years. From Hebei to Hedong, from outside the Great Wall to the inner pass, in the words of some people, other than Speaking of this era, I have never seen you so tormented since ancient times.
On the other hand, Li Shan feels that as time goes by, the possibility of Li Shimin successfully seizing the throne will become higher and higher. Although Li Yuan has never expressed his attitude, Li Shan can vaguely sense that Li Yuan's lack of attitude is actually his attitude. .
After all, before the battle at Tiantai Mountain, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng and his son were close, but Li Yuan and Li Shimin were suspicious of each other and wary of each other, and they were almost at the end of the road.
But now, Li Shimin's position has been stabilized, and he has even begun to truly exercise the power of Shangshu Ling, and his relationship with Li Yuan has also eased... After all, the latter had witnessed with his own eyes how his son fought hard to protect him.
On the other hand, the prince Li Jiancheng was in a worse situation. He didn't seem to have suffered much loss, but the deep father-son relationship with Li Yuan was gone forever.
Under this situation, the possibility of Li Shimin launching the Xuanwu Gate Rebellion was very low. On the contrary, Li Jiancheng had the motive to rebel... But Li Shan did not believe that Li Jiancheng could succeed. With Li Shimin's ability and the numerous people in Tiance Mansion, Yingjie, as well as Chang He and Ma Zhou at Xuanwu Gate, is it possible for the East Palace to make a comeback?
Maybe we need to be careful about Pei Shiju? Gong
What kind of Tang Taizong would Li Shimin have become without the dark history of the Xuanwu Gate Incident?
Li Shan was very curious and looking forward to this. In recent months, he had considered whether to influence Li Shimin's strategy in some aspects. Li Shimin, who ascended to the throne of God through the Xuanwu Gate incident in the original time and space, may have been because of that dark period. History, so he tried his best to create the character of "Tian Khan", and a large number of Turkic generals became generals of the Tang Dynasty.
It cannot be said that Li Shimin did not do well. After all, for most of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty had always dominated the Mobei and Western Regions, and its reputation spread all over the world. A large number of foreign generals became famous generals of the Tang Dynasty and held great power.
But it was this strategy that led to the chaos in the late Tang Dynasty. During the Anshi Rebellion, An Lushan was a Sogdian, Shi Siming was a Turk, Li Guangbi was a Khitan, Gao Xianzhi was a Goguryeo, and Ge Shuhan was a Qiucian.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo, Shatuo, Dangxiang, and Khitan people took turns to become powerful. Among the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Later Tang, Later Jin, and Later Han were all founded by the Shatuo people, not to mention that the Khitan first swept away the Central Plains, and the later There are party items to build Xixia.
From this perspective, Li Shimin's strategy for the grasslands and the Western Regions had a considerable negative impact on the territory of later generations and the Han Dynasty.
Walking into the wounded barracks, looking around, Li Shan showed a satisfied smile and nodded at Zhou Erlang, who was in charge of this place, "You did a good job." Gong
Zhou Lang cautiously breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that everything else about his husband was easy to talk about, but if he failed to do what he was told, he would be punished. He was also knighted for rescuing his father last year, and his sister was still the husband's favorite concubine. If you are punished for your mistakes, you will lose all your face.
While accompanying Li Shan as he walked inside, Zhou Erlang gave Zhu Ba a grateful look. The latter was the first to follow Li Shan. When the wounded barracks were first set up in Guantao City, it was Zhu Ba who was in charge. He knew very well that Li Shan was responsible for the wounded. Barracks layout and requirements.
Due to the limitations of the times, Li Shan could not really build a field hospital, so most of the wounded were actually lightly wounded. The role of nurses and the impact of the environment were greater than the effects of medical methods.
Therefore, Li Shan's first requirement for the wounded barracks is to keep it clean. The blood stains that can be seen everywhere in other armies must not be allowed. Large tanks are used to store water everywhere, disinfected with lime, and ventilation must be ensured while keeping warm.
Li Shan's second request was food. There was a special kitchen in the wounded soldiers' camp. He personally checked it and even asked the wounded soldiers that they should eat three meals a day, at least one meal with meat.
"How many are there in total?" Li Shan pointed at the neatly arranged brick houses.
"There are ten people in each house, which is quite crowded. Now there are only forty houses." Zhou Zuilang spread his hands and said: "Zhang Baoxiang, who attacked Guyuan County yesterday, sent dozens more people, but they can only be sent to Baiquan County." Gong
"Wait a little longer." Li Shan smacked his lips, "Qi Laosan has already built a brick kiln nearby. As long as the foundation is laid first, the house can be built very quickly."
Li Shan silently calculated in his mind that all the soldiers injured in the Jingzhou war had been sent to Anding County to recuperate. It seemed that there were now ten people in each house, and a total of about four to five hundred wounded. But in the subsequent Yuanzhou war, casualties I'm afraid it won't be too small, but we still need to expand the wounded barracks.
However, the camp of tens of thousands of troops... was quite laborious. The key was that Li Shan abandoned the previous method and instead built the camp with masonry structures. In the eyes of others, it was almost like building a new city.
For this reason, Qi Lao got up earlier than a chicken every day, worked more than an ox, and was so tired that his tongue couldn't even stick out, and his hair turned white. Li Shan could only mobilize people from among the civilians and infantry to help... There was no other way. , it’s already October, if we don’t hurry up, it will be too late when the ground freezes.
Camps in this era were basically wooden structures. The advantages were obvious. They could be made from local materials, easy to carry, and dismantled quickly. However, the disadvantages were also obvious: they were not strong enough and flammable.
Flammability is the biggest disadvantage, so night raids in ancient wars usually involved setting fire. As long as the fire spread, it would cause chaos in the entire army, and the victory was basically determined. In his early years in Shandong, Li Shan conducted night raids. In the battle of Liting, he set fire to cause chaos to the enemy army, and then defeated several times the enemy army.
But the camp with masonry structure is different. Although it can be ignited, it is difficult for the fire to spread on a large scale. Although it has the disadvantage of not being portable, Li Shan still chose to set up camp with masonry on the southeast side of Baiquan County. Completely block Liang Jun's road south. Gong
It is no exaggeration to say that even if Li Shan is completely defeated in the next battle, as long as there is one general and two thousand infantry to defend here, he will be able to stop Liang's army.
