Obviously, Feng Zhoushan also worked hard to understand the internal trends of the rebels. Therefore, when reporting, he spoke in unusual detail: "Especially those small tribes that don't get much food at all are dissatisfied with Tuoba's overly partial approach to relocation. As for combat effectiveness. , The general believes that the elites selected by the Pingxia tribe still have considerable combat effectiveness."
"Even to a certain extent, it is even more than the Longyou Guards. By analogy, it is estimated that the Yelibu who are friends with them will not be much different. These so-called elites are not bad in courage, but it is a pity that They have not received sufficient training, and the military attachés at all levels lack experience in commanding the army. If they train for half a year to a year and become familiar with various formations, they will probably be able to compete with our Xijing camp."
"Moreover, the last general also received a very important piece of news from the rebels of the Zheluo tribe. Tuoba Jiqian did not trust other tribes very much. Therefore, he appointed people in various ministries and selected the best from his Pingxia tribe. The selected people serve as supervisors of the army. After those people arrive in each tribe, they can be said to be domineering. Not only do they fail to play the role of supervisor of the army, they actually cause more dissatisfaction among the other tribes."
It can be said that, including the battle last night, Feng Zhoushan was a participant in the three battles currently fought between the Xijing camp and the rebels. In two of the battles, he was the direct commander. He has an unusually clear view of the rebels' weaknesses. In his opinion, the party members among these rebels can be said to be warriors based on their performance on the battlefield, and they can also be regarded as his worthy opponents.
But the lack of training and the inexperience of military attachés at all levels is their most deadly problem. Even if it is more than a month of hasty training, this month of training cannot solve the problem. Even though Tuoba Jiqian was rash, the so-called elite of his Pingxia tribe made repeated mistakes on the battlefield. Military attachés at all levels lack experience in leading troops and rely more on their status in their own tribes to maintain their position.
When it's time to rush, I don't know how to continue to rush. When he shouldn't have retreated, he retreated faster than anyone else. Even some military attaches could not understand the flags used to mobilize troops on the battlefield and the sound of bull horns. The mobilization of troops back and forth depends entirely on the experience accumulated when fighting the guards. And on the battlefield, they relied more on Tuoba Jiqian. As a result, when Tuoba Jiqian was injured, they themselves became chaotic first.
There are such military attaches without adequate training. You are brave and good at fighting, so what? Facing the well-trained Xijing camp, no matter how many people come, they are just giving military exploits to the generals at all levels. Not to mention, the Han people among the rebels were obviously not willing to follow the rebels in rebellion. Coupled with the internal conflicts among the party members themselves, these rebels cannot become a force at all.
Regarding the reports and analyzes Feng Zhoushan said, Huang Qiong nodded cautiously, saying that he had listened to them all: "It seems that General Feng has put his heart into it, and I have learned from it. How many prisoners did you capture there?" How many ordinary sergeants of the Pingxia Tribe have been captured by the party officials and chiefs? I am talking about the Pingxia Tribe captured last night plus the two battles during the day yesterday?"
Ouyang Shan said quickly: "Yesterday's battle during the day, plus the battle last night, captured more than 2,000 young men belonging to the Pingxia tribe. Among them were Tibetan officials who had been canonized by the imperial court, and they had not been canonized. Yes, but there are sixty-three people serving as native officials and chiefs in the Pingxia tribe. There are more than 5,000 party members from other tribes, and a total of ninety-seven Fan officials, native officials and chiefs."
Speaking of this, Ouyang Shan suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly added: "During the battle last night, the general found Tuoba Ji's eldest brother Tuoba Ji'ai among the captured party members. Tuoba Ji's eldest brother Tuoba Ji'ai. Qian had two younger brothers and two sons. One was his most valued brother, Tuoba Jichong, and the other was Tuoba Jirai. This Tuoba Jirai was the supervisor he sent to Tuoba Daxin. "
After Ouyang Shan finished speaking, Huang Qiong ignored him. Instead, he said to the two generals who had fought hard all night and their eyes were red: "You go back and rest first, so that you can have enough energy to cope with the next battle. But while you are resting, , we also need to think about what the rebels will do next after these three defeats. After thinking about it clearly, give me a plan."
"As for those Tibetan officials, local officials, and leaders, especially Tuoba Ji'ai, they must be strictly guarded. As for how to deal with these people, I have to think carefully about it. Those captured rebels , and they must be carefully screened, and no official can be allowed to escape. Also, all the captured cattle and sheep are used to reward the soldiers. But there is one thing, no one is allowed to drink."
After the second general took the order and left, Huang Qiong pondered for a moment. Taking a few guards with him, he first came to the place where wounded soldiers were treated. Although they fought two victorious battles one after another and defeated 50,000 to 60,000 rebels. But the Han people among the rebels may not really follow the rebellion. However, the party members among them resisted extremely tenaciously, and Daqi's losses were definitely not light.
In addition to the more than a thousand people killed in the battle, there were also five or six hundred wounded soldiers. Seeing the wounded soldiers lying on the ground in the open air, the smell of blood, and the swarms of flies attracted by the smell of blood, Huang Qiong frowned. Even he knew that the field medical conditions in this era were like this. The wounded would be lucky if they could clean their wounds with wine and sprinkle some herbs on the wounds.
More people still rely on whether the concentration of platelets in their body is sufficient so that the wound can clot before the blood dries up. Even so, they were lucky to be rescued. Because their army won the battle, they could be brought back. If they lose the battle, their fate can only be to be abandoned, or to have their heads cut off by the enemy to ask for credit.
In other words, Huang Qiong had already been mentally prepared before coming here. But Huang Qiong was still shocked by the large number of wounded soldiers and the poor medical conditions. What worried him even more was that there were so many wounded soldiers, but there was only one doctor and two apprentices taking care of them. And these three people were the only medical soldiers and nurses among the five to six hundred wounded soldiers.
After leaving his place, he did not rest as he requested. Instead, they rushed to the healing site for wounded soldiers. At this time, Feng Zhoushan and Ouyang Shan also looked worried. Huang Qiong frowned slightly, her expression obviously not displeased. There were so many wounded soldiers, just one doctor and two apprentices. The two of them, as generals, had no idea what to do?
Huang Qiong's expression was unkind, and he had never thought of this pampered nobleman Tianhuang. He also didn't go to rest, but came to visit the wounded soldiers. Feng Zhoushan and Ouyang Shan roughly guessed the reason for the gloomy look on the master's face. He could only bite the bullet and explain: "Your Majesty, the general is incompetent. Before Huanzhou was recaptured by the official army, all the residents here had been plundered by the rebels.
"When the general led his troops into the city, there was not even a soul in the city. When the general was ordered to rescue Qingyang Mansion first, because he had to travel day and night, he could only bring one doctor who could ride a horse, and there were really no others. We need to find ways to keep up. Not only are there not enough doctors in the army now, but there is also a shortage of medicines and supplies. But at the end of the day, the generals can only watch helplessly as their brothers suffer."
Huang Qiong was very dissatisfied with Feng Zhoushan's explanation: "I think you are confused because you are an official. Didn't you raid the rebel camp last night and seize a large amount of baggage? There should be white cloth inside. Yes, bring it over immediately, boil it in boiling water, and use it as a temporary substitute for the bandage. Also, there are no doctors in Huanzhou, and there are not enough doctors in the army, but Qingyang Mansion should still have some."
"Is Huanzhou far away from Qingyang Mansion? Immediately send someone to ride on the best horse and go to Qingyang Mansion. Ask Qingyang Magistrate and Du She to send someone to assist you, regardless of whether he treats external injuries or internal injuries. , or those suffering from bruises, as long as they are not doctors in charge of childbirth, please come over immediately. As for the necessary medicines, please bring them with you as well. I will give you a decree and bring them with you. "
Huang Qiong did not return to his temporary office in Huanzhou Yamen. Instead, he wrote a handwritten edict directly here, stamped it with his own seal, and handed it over to one of his guards to send it out quickly. Then, together with Feng Zhoushan and Ouyang Shan, they carefully checked the injuries of the wounded. Even though the wounds of some of the wounded were infected and smelly, Huang Qiong still looked at them without any disgust.
After taking a general look at the injured, Huang Qiong not only frowned, but pinched the bridge of his nose in discomfort. Even in previous lives when the level of medical care was already extremely high, the mortality rate from war injuries was still very high. What's more, there is no adequate disinfection method, so just one treatment tool can treat so many wounded people. Even if you use salt water to clean the wound, cross-infection cannot be avoided.
Here with the wounded, Huang Qiong's frown never relaxed. Even after he saw the doctor treating the wounded, he realized that in this era, surgical suture technology and special mulberry sutures were already available. But seeing that pair of suture needles and having to treat so many wounded people at the same time, he was still worried. Behind each of these wounded people is a family that needs to be fed.
Behind a fallen soldier, there may be a group of people crying, the blood and tears of orphans and widows who have no one to support them. If a wounded person is not rescued, it means that a whole family will be trapped in hunger and cold. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong felt extremely sad. After personally changing the bandage for a wounded man who had been stabbed in the abdomen, Huang Qiong could only sigh in the face of the helpless situation.
After walking out of the courtyards where the wounded were, Huang Qiong stood at the gate with his hands behind his back and said to Feng Zhoushan and Ouyang Shan behind him: "Immediately send someone to screen the rebel prisoners to see if there are any who know medical skills." Yes, bring over the seized baggage to see if there is any strong liquor. Tell the doctor that all the equipment used to treat the wounded must be soaked in wine before use."
"Also, immediately send people to collect dandelions, whether they are dried or fresh. In a word, the more the better. Once found, share them with the wounded who have damaged wounds. It is too late to process them into medicine now. Now, tell the wounded to eat all those dandelions if they want to survive." Huang Qiong vaguely remembered that dandelions have anti-inflammatory effects.
Upon hearing Huang Qiong's request, Ouyang Shan did not care whether it was right or not, nor did he ask the British king what the use was of letting the wounded eat this. As a military attache, he was already used to being obedient in the military camp, so he immediately ordered people to do what the King of England ordered. Send someone to collect dandelions. After Ouyang Shan gave the order, Huang Qiong said: "Find a way to get some chicken and make some chicken soup for the wounded."
"They have shed so much blood, so we must make sure they eat well. If we can't find any, we will kill the sheep. We will make sure that every wounded person has mutton to eat and mutton soup to drink. In fact, you don't have to worry about anything. I know this. , you have done a very good job. Basically, the injured soldiers were brought back and were not left alone. After a hard battle last night, I came out from my king's place today to visit the wounded. "
