At this time, Lan Yu was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, which was very funny.
His whole body was tightly wrapped in bandages, with only a pair of eyes and a mouth exposed. With the support of his two adopted sons, he walked towards the tent.
"The humble position joins the higher position."
When Lan Yu saw Zhu Yuanzhang, she wanted to kneel down and salute.
Zhu Yuanzhang stopped Lan Yu directly and said:
"You're already like this, so you can forgive me."
"We heard that you were seriously injured, why don't you take a good rest in the tent? Why do you have to come here in person?"
Lan Yu tried her best to stand up straight and said:
"I am really worried about my humble position. The safety of the fourth prince is in danger."
"That's why I insisted on coming here to see how the Fourth Prince is doing."
"If the fourth prince does anything bad, he will be held responsible for his death due to his humble position."
This sentence made Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes become slightly gentler, and Zhu Biao on the side also looked at Lan Yu with a look of relief.
My uncle has finally grown a lot.
Zhu Di also smiled weakly on the hospital bed and said:
"The words of Marquis Yongchang are serious. They are all serving the country, as they should be."
Lan Yu shook her head, but her posture looked very awkward due to the bandage.
"The fourth prince is a noble nobleman, but he is willing to risk his own life and risk his own life. He is a role model for us generals."
Zhu Yuanzhang felt extremely comfortable being flattered by Lan Yu.
If Lan Yu flattered him, he felt that Lan Yu was hypocritical and flattering, and would not give Lan Yu a good look.
But if it was his son who was being praised, it would naturally feel different.
Just like the parents of later generations, who doesn’t want their children to have a bright future? Being praised repeatedly?
However, Zhu Yuanzhang then thought about the conversation he had just had with Xu Da, and with a hint of gloom on his face, he asked in a deep voice:
"Lanyu, let me ask you."
"Why did you take the initiative to pursue the Japanese pirates after you landed first? Is it because Li Jin gave you an order to hunt down the remaining enemies?"
"Is this why you went deep alone and lost contact with the army?"
"If this is the case, we will immediately order Li Jin to be arrested and imprisoned for military law enforcement!"
Everyone present was shocked when they heard these remarks.
Zhu Di, who had recovered somewhat, turned pale when he heard this. Thinking of the causes and consequences of this battle, Zhu Di knew that the responsibility did not lie with Li Jin at all.
But Lan Yu was fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, so he couldn't pin the blame on Lan Yu, otherwise it would chill Lan Yu's heart.
I wanted to say something but couldn't. I could only look at Lan Yu.
The eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao also fell on Lan Yu at the same time. The three people's gazes made Lan Yu feel a heavy pressure.
But Lan Yu is Lan Yu after all. As a straightforward man, he did not evade responsibility at all. Instead, he admitted it calmly and said:
"Your Majesty, after landing, did you act arbitrarily while despising your position? In order to gain credit, you chased the Japanese pirates. This led to the loss of contact with the army?"
"The responsibility for this battle lies entirely with me, and has nothing to do with Li Jin."
"Li Jin commanded us well and made prompt decisions. If it hadn't been for Li Jin, I'm afraid that the Fourth Prince and I would have been killed by Japanese pirates."
"Please don't blame Li Jin, Your Majesty. I am willing to bear all the charges due to my humble position."
Zhu Yuanzhang stared and said:
"Do you know that in this battle, we lost more than half of the three thousand elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty? Do you think you can bear this crime?"
"I'll give you another chance. Tell us, who is responsible for this battle?"
The tone was very cold, and Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes became indifferent.
Feeling Zhu Yuanzhang's cold and piercing murderous intent, Lan Yu's hair stood up on his body and his eyelids twitched.
But there are things a real man does and things he doesn't do. Lan Yu did not escape after all, and said proudly:
"Your Majesty, the crime of this war is mine. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"In that case, I will cut you off as the Marquis of Yongchang, stay in the army, and make meritorious deeds!"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't show any mercy, and directly pushed Lan Yu to the end, giving Lan Yu a good blow to his arrogance.
Zhu Biao saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was so ruthless and couldn't help but plead:
"Father, Marquis Yongchang is also eager to perform meritorious service. Please forgive him this time for the sake of Marquis Yongchang who is dedicated to serving the country."
Zhu Di also said anxiously:
"Father, although Marquis Yongchang made mistakes, he fought desperately on the battlefield."
"If it hadn't been for Yongchang Hou, my child might have been killed by Japanese pirates. I beg your father to show mercy."
There was no one else in the tent, but the two princes' pleas had already demonstrated the weight of the blue jade.
Lan Yu was also shocked. He didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang's punishment to be so severe.
You need to know the title of Marquis of Yongchang, but Lan Yu has been born and died for more than ten years, fighting hard and with his life from the bottom with a knife and a gun.
Now, just because of a small mistake, he was fucked to the end by Zhu Yuanzhang, which was a bit hard for Lan Yu to accept.
Facing the two people's requests, Zhu Yuanzhang had a gloomy face, without turning around, looked at Lan Yu and asked:
"Lanyu, are you convinced?"
Lan Yu's face turned a little red, thinking that he, Lan Yu, had to work hard without any merit. Of course he would not accept such a heavy punishment.
But now Lan Yu's face is covered, and no one can see her flushed face.
Lan Yu closed her mouth and said nothing. Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Lan Yu must be dissatisfied and continued:
"Lanyu, when you came to see our fourth prince, didn't you go see the wounded soldiers and the soldiers who died in the battle?"
"You know, if Li Jin hadn't come to the rescue just now, our fourth prince might have passed away because of your recklessness."
"Our fourth prince is already like this, what about the other navy officers?"
"Because they trust you, they follow you into battle, but you don't care about their lives. You only want to be happy and bring them to death."
"These people could have survived, but it was because of your impulse that you killed so many Ming soldiers. Shouldn't you repent for them?"
Lan Yu's face turned red after being scolded by Zhu Yuanzhang, and she felt heartbroken when she thought of Pao Ze, who usually trained hard with her, lying cold in the morgue.
"Humble duty...humble duty is willing to be punished."
Lan Yu finally lowered his proud head. This time, he felt repentant for the sake of Pao Ze, who had fought bloody battles with him.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he did not blame him any more and just said:
"You go down and have a good rest first. When you recover from your injuries, you can make meritorious service and don't let us down again."
Lan Yu nodded, turned around and was about to leave, but saw Xu Da rushing towards this direction in a hurry.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised when he saw Xu Da leaving and coming back. Before he could speak, Xu Da said excitedly:
"Your Majesty, come with me quickly. There is a great joy, a great joy for our Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be curious when he saw Xu Da losing his composure. Since Xu Da was named Duke of Wei, he had rarely lost his composure like this.
Over the years, Xu Da began to learn to remain calm, keep a low profile, and live in seclusion. Although he had fewer troubles, the smiles on his face also decreased a lot.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't remember how long ago it was the last time Xu Da lost his composure.
"Xuda, what happened?"
Originally, Lan Yu was about to leave, but when she saw this scene, she simply stopped going back and followed Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da limping.
Xu Da did not answer Zhu Yuanzhang, but turned around and walked quickly outside the tent.
Zhu Yuanzhang was full of suspicion, but he still followed Xu Da, wanting to see what medicine Xu Da was selling in his gourd.
Xu Da is in the front, Zhu Yuanzhang is in the back, and Lan Yu is at the end with the support of his adopted son.
After Xu Da went out, he took Zhu Yuanzhang around and came to a tall camp with the four characters "field hospital" written on it.
"Field hospital? What do you mean?"
After Zhu Yuanzhang saw these four words, his expression was confused, and he didn't understand what it was for that could make Xu Da so excited.
“You’ll know once you go in and take a look.”
With that said, Xu Da took the lead and strode into the field hospital.
When Zhu Yuanzhang entered the field hospital, he was immediately shocked by the scene inside.
Everything that comes into view is a vast expanse of white, and all the people walking back and forth are doctors and nurses in white coats and white hats.
Some of these nurses were in a hurry, constantly shuttling among the crowd, but many more were taking care of injured soldiers.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw a wounded soldier whose legs were stabbed. With the help of a nurse, he kept trying to walk on crutches.
In addition, there are many wounded soldiers wrapped like rice dumplings, walking in the camp of the field hospital and undergoing rehabilitation training.
There was either a doctor standing next to these wounded soldiers, or a nurse supporting them, and there was no trace of panic caused by the injury on their faces.
"This...this is the wounded soldiers...wounded soldiers camp?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked in his heart, his eyes widened, and he asked Xu Da in disbelief.
Zhu Yuanzhang was born in the army, so he naturally knew what the wounded barracks was like.
Think about the kind of treatment he received when he was scarred from fighting everywhere?
A dozen wounded soldiers were crowded into a smelly tent, with a dark cloth wrapped around the wound. Whether they survived or not depended on God's will.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he was really lucky, otherwise it would have been impossible to survive in such crude conditions.
Now thinking about the days of being injured and waiting for recovery, Zhu Yuanzhang still has lingering fears in his heart.
You know, it was a day of struggle with the sky, and no one knew whether they would be able to see the sun tomorrow.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw with his own eyes that the wounded soldiers in the same tent died in struggle and pain.
There was no doctor to see the doctor, and it was impossible to say that anyone would take care of wounded soldiers like them. They could only rely on themselves to hold on.
He survived and continued to work hard on the battlefield. If he couldn't survive, he was dragged to a mass grave without even a coffin.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang has now become the emperor and the treatment of wounded soldiers has been greatly improved, the whole battalion can only have one or two doctors at most.
The biggest role of these two doctors is to play a psychological role. Whether the wounded soldiers can survive in the end depends on themselves.
The dilapidated tents and bloody bandages are the eternal tone in the wounded barracks, and Zhu Yuanzhang could not change this.
Especially the eyes of the wounded soldiers, who were numb and waiting for death, were always unforgettable to Zhu Yuanzhang.
But the scene in front of him completely subverted Zhu Yuanzhang's three views.
The treatment of these wounded soldiers in this so-called field hospital is simply better than that of the landlords.
Not only do they have doctors to treat them, but there are also dedicated personnel to take care of them. This was something that was unimaginable before.
But this incredible scene really happened before our eyes.
The effect produced was far beyond Zhu Yuanzhang's expectation.
I saw that in this small field hospital, although there were wounded soldiers everywhere, there was no numbness or coldness in the eyes of these wounded soldiers that Zhu Yuanzhang had seen before.
Instead there is some desire for life, and vitality.
Someone sees a doctor and someone takes care of them. These wounded soldiers can truly feel the feeling of being valued. This is the most important thing for the wounded soldiers.
After a soldier is injured, what he fears most is being ignored and abandoned.
Li Jin's move directly stabilized the psychology of the wounded soldiers. After all, the presence of so many doctors and nurses showed that Li Jin attached great importance to these wounded soldiers.
Wounded soldiers no longer have anything to worry about, so they naturally just need to rest in peace.
"Li Jin's move is indeed a great kindness."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded happily. It must be said that Li Jin would always inadvertently come up with something that dazzled him.
Xu Da whispered mysteriously:
"Being on top is more than that."
