After the two left, Su Yonglin did not stay where he was.
He took part of the troops from the Huben Camp to explore the surroundings of the Jin Army's camp, following the tracks of the army's advance to find the villages where the Jin Army had committed violence, and wanted to see what the situation was like.
After arriving at the first destroyed village, Su Yonglin was stunned.
It was midsummer and the climate was hot. Human corpses decomposed at an extremely fast rate and emitted an unspeakable stench.
A large number of mosquitoes and unknown maggots were writhing on the ground, and the tragic scene of rotting corpses wrapped in stench appeared in front of Su Yonglin and the soldiers of the Huben Battalion.
Although they experienced bloody battles and their psychological quality was no longer the same, at this moment, many soldiers could not help their stomachs turning and vomited involuntarily.
Even the always brave Tiehanhan Su Yong covered his mouth and nose, his eyes full of shock.
Su Yonglin didn't vomit. The strong stench and the rotting, broken body seemed to him only sad, not disgusting.
After the village was destroyed by the flames, there were only ruins and broken trees. Under the half-burned houses that were burnt black, there were black charred corpses. Some corpses appeared alone, and some corpses were hugged together in two or three.
From their twisted postures, Su Yonglin could see the pain they suffered during their lives.
The buzzing of mosquitoes kept ringing in his ears, but Su Yonglin heard their desperate cries before dying.
He gritted his teeth and clenched his hands into fists. It took him a while to calm down, and he led the team out of the village to avoid the plague.
"A Yong, you should bring the people to dress neatly, cover their mouths and noses with cloth towels, bring fire starters, hold up torches, and light and burn all the rotting corpses that can be seen. Don't leave any corpses behind."
"ah?"
Su Yong didn't understand why he did this.
"There will definitely be a great epidemic after the war, because the corpses are not disposed of in time. Now in the middle of summer, the corpses decay quickly and mosquitoes breed. If not treated in time, epidemics are likely to occur. All the corpses must be burned with fire to ensure that there will be no There’s an epidemic.”
Hearing this, Su Yong nodded.
"I understand, I know what to do, is that all right, Lang? No need to do anything else?"
"Everyone is already dead, what else can be done?"
Su Yonglin was silent for a while and shook his head: "Go, finish the matter as soon as possible, dispose of all the bodies, and then return to the camp. We have many other things to do, and we don't have time to delay here."
"Here."
Su Yong led the team to do something, but Su Yonglin couldn't bear to look down.
Because he felt that the next villages could only be worse than this, not better.
Not a single survivor could be found. The entire village was wiped out without even a single survivor.
All men and women died, not even the elderly and young children survived, the death was extremely miserable...
As far as he was concerned, the person who did such a thing was no longer a human being, and was no longer a human being. The most ferocious beast was nothing more than that.
But sadly, in this era, there are countless inhuman people who would do such things.
What's even more sad is that in this society, such things are considered normal, just like eating and drinking. At most, they are sad about it, but they don't think it is a weird thing, let alone feel the slightest bit guilty about it. anger.
At most, I sigh with emotion, and then start to pray that I will not encounter the army, my family, relatives and friends will not encounter the army, and they will never encounter the army crossing the border.
Burning, killing and looting are normal for an army.
An army that protects the people instead of burning, killing, looting, is a myth.
The people are the natural prey of the army.
This is the common concept in this society.
Su Yonglin felt like there was a fire in his heart, a fire that was burning and getting stronger.
He wanted to do something and felt that he had to do something.
Back at the Jin Army camp, Su Yonglin thought about it and ordered the entire army to cover their mouths and noses with cloth towels. They followed him to inspect the disaster-stricken villages and dispose of the bodies of the victims.
Burial is difficult, and cremation is their last dignity.
They piled their bodies together, lit firewood and fuel, and sent them on their last journey with blazing fire, praying that they would have an afterlife and that they would not have to live in such a cruel world.
It doesn’t matter whether the corpses are complete or incomplete, heavily or lightly decayed, men or women, old or children.
No one spoke during the whole process, everyone was very quiet, silently following Su Yonglin to pay their last respects to these victims.
Some people vomited during the process, and some secretly wiped away tears.
In an army that values empathy like the Shengjie Army, nothing can educate soldiers better than this brutal hellscape.
If the Shengjie Army is strong enough, it can implement the new rural policy on a larger scale and organize more of these farmers to flee quickly, just like the surviving new rural areas.
However, the strength of the Shengjie Army was still too weak. It was so weak that it could only protect itself but not others. It was not even easy to protect itself. Facing powerful enemies was also full of dangers.
The Shengjie Army has not become stronger yet.
Shengjie Army still needs to become stronger.
Later, Su Yonglin returned to the Jin Army's abandoned camp to listen to the latest cleanup report. He basically concluded that the escaped Jin Army was unlikely to re-form a threatening combat force, and was more likely to disperse and go home.
There were too many dead officers, and it was impossible for an army that lost so many officers to continue to maintain its structure. They also couldn't get enough food to maintain their army's structure, so the most likely thing to happen was that the defeated troops fled home one after another.
Su Yonglin felt a little relaxed, and his uncomfortable mood was slightly relieved.
Until the sunset, the soldiers who went to dispose of the corpses returned one after another, and then went to the river to wash their hands and faces, as if they wanted to wash away the depression in their hearts with cold water.
At this time, Zhao Kaishan came.
Zhao Kaishan was originally waiting for Su Yonglin to see him at the military camp.
Although he didn't want to see Su Yonglin at this time.
Because he was slapped in the face.
Facts have proved that the Jin Army did collapse and was defeated. Yesterday's fire was a real fire and not a trick. Zhao Kaishan himself was frightened by the Jin Army and did not dare to fight or expand the results. As a result, the battle was ended by Su Yonglin. .
Su Yonglin led his victorious army to defeat tens of thousands of Jin troops. He achieved three victories in three battles, truly displaying the style of a famous general and his military power.
Now, Su Yonglin can no longer take away his title as [the first general of the Liberation Army].
It's over, he is the God of War of the Liberation Army.
And myself...
what is it then?
So when Zhao Kaishan learned the news, although he had a strange premonition, when he actually learned it, his head was still buzzing and going blank.
Then soon, a huge feeling of embarrassment swept over him, making him almost want to dig a hole into the ground.
Shame on Dafa.
As a leader, he did not dare to attack with tens of thousands of troops, but Su Yonglin dared to fight with the Jin army with a few thousand troops. He even won the final victory. How could he continue to be a leader in the future? Shuai, what about leading the Liberation Army to fight against gold?
How would the officers and soldiers who knew all this regard him as the leader?
Will they think that he is an incompetent person, so they will no longer obey his orders and join Su Yonglin's command?
It's really hard to say all this.
Zhao Kaishan was embarrassed when Zhao Zuoliang came.
"Kaishan, let's go to meet Su Yuting together."
Zhao Kaishan looked at Zhao Zuoliang with a complicated expression.
"Uncle, I...can I not go?"
Zhao Zuoliang shook his head.
"Kaishan, I know what you are thinking, but right now, Su Yuting is the greatest contributor to the Liberation Army. No matter what, you have to go see him, praise him, give him a promotion, and hold him high as a token of your gratitude. The harmony between you and him will stabilize the morale of the army."
When Zhao Zuoliang said this, Zhao Kaishan was unwilling.
"Advancing him to a higher rank? How else can I give him a higher rank? Uncle, he is a hussar general, the first person in the Liberation Army below me, and his rank is higher than that of Sun Tzu Yi. How else can I grant him a higher rank?"
I am a commander myself, and I don’t have a knighthood yet. How can I give him a knighthood? What to seal? If I give him another title, I might as well abdicate directly and give him the leadership position! "
