Liu Mengru was still angry.
But she also knew that Zhao Ping was the leader of this force right now.
It's her husband again.
Continuing to argue will damage your reputation.
I can only bury that anger in my heart and wait until the night is quiet before discussing it with Zhao Ping.
Of course, Liu Mengru had no idea how far this discussion would go.
After all, the previous discussions ended up in bed.
Then they all ended with her defeat and begging for mercy.
I hope Zhao Ping can be more cautious this time, and hope that he can persist longer.
Song Ming's reaction was a bit slow. It took him a while before he said, "Mr. Hui, everything is in place."
"Okay, the wounded will come back later, you will be busy."
Zhao Ping nodded.
The wounded hadn't come back yet, but Xu Tianhua ran over first.
He said excitedly: "Mr. Zhao, good news, great news."
"Our people have defeated the bandits in Dongyi Mountain and are heading back. Should we prepare a celebration banquet?"
After the bet with Heifeng Village, he has been paying attention to the situation at Qi Liang.
However, the news delivery was not as good as Xia Zhixue's, so it was a little late.
"You want to celebrate?"
Zhao Ping frowned.
"yes."
Xu Tianhua said: "When you win a battle, you must celebrate, otherwise wouldn't it chill the hearts of the soldiers?"
"If you want to celebrate, go and celebrate by yourself, I don't have time."
Zhao Ping said indifferently: "I want to treat the wounded."
"Wounded?"
Xu Tianhua looked around and asked, "Where are the wounded?"
"you!"
Zhao Ping said speechlessly: "Didn't they get injured during the battle?"
"That injury is normal."
Xu Tianhua said matter-of-factly: "There's no way you won't get injured in a battle."
"But merit should be rewarded."
"Besides, we defeated the bandits in Dongyi Mountain. This is a good sign."
"When the brothers come back and put things in order, we can gather all the troops and eradicate all the bandits in Crescent Moon Mountain."
"There will be no more bandits in the entire Yun'an County from now on."
"This is a great achievement. Not only should we celebrate it, but we should also reward it based on its merit."
"I would like to..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Ping interrupted: "What if your family members died?"
"Do you still have such thoughts?"
"What's the meaning?"
Xu Tianhua's face also turned dark.
Why are you cursing me?
I'm a seventh-grade wine tasting officer, so I don't have to go to the battlefield.
My family has enough food and clothing under my care, and they don't have to go to the battlefield to earn meritorious deeds. How could they die in battle?
"That's what it means."
Zhao Ping said coldly: "We suppress bandits in order to restore a stable life to the people."
"But the people died in the war, how can they still live?"
"According to you, ordinary people are not human beings?"
"They also have parents and families. If they die, what will their families do?"
"How can there be no death in war?"
Xu Tianhua asked back: "Besides, we are helping them suppress the bandits. By eradicating the bandits, they will be able to pay less for the civilian welfare. Who knows how many people they will be able to support by then."
"And the pension you gave is very high, enough to feed and clothe their family for the rest of their lives."
"To be honest, when bandits are rampant, even if they are alive, they may not be able to earn so much money, let alone support their families."
"What's more, they died fighting to suppress bandits in Yun'an County. As the magistrate of Yun'an County, I will definitely remember their names."
"Even give them a certain amount of glory and let them shine on the lintel."
"This is worth more than their lives."
"I……"
Zhao Ping was choked.
I wanted to argue, but I didn't have the confidence.
Liu Mengru also felt it, stepped forward, took Zhao Ping's hand, and whispered: "Ms. sir, I know you want to create a world where everyone is equal."
"But now we are in the Dawei Dynasty. You have to understand that here, the people are in dire straits."
"Ordinary people are living in dire straits. Those who can eliminate bandits and contribute to their hometowns deserve to die."
Zhao Ping said nothing.
Instead, he is trying to adjust his mentality.
He found out he was wrong.
Big mistake.
After traveling for so long, he still had not gotten used to being a member of the Dawei Dynasty.
Especially when I learned that Xu Tianhua was going to be the magistrate of Yun'an County.
Zhao Ping seems to have a feeling that he wants to make Yun'an County his own base, treating it as a miniature version of the Huaxia Kingdom.
To create a world where everyone is equal.
Here, people love each other and help each other.
He has been working hard towards this goal.
But being questioned one after another by Xu Tianhua and Liu Mengru made Zhao Ping completely awaken.
This is not the real China.
This is still the Wei Dynasty, a feudal society where imperial power is supreme.
These are troubled times.
There are corrupt officials and bandits.
There are exorbitant taxes and taxes that are more fierce than tigers.
The common people were living in unspeakable misery, and they had nothing to live on, so they had to eat each other.
In such a situation, why do you care about a human life?
Liu Mengru was right, why would they risk their lives for the sake of a stable future life for their family?
And if you want to create a prosperous world, how can you do it without bloodshed and sacrifice?
Whether it's dealing with bandits inside or pacifying the enemies on the outside, what kind of war is out of the question? No blood? Not allowed to die?
Wasn't it possible that the Huaxia Kingdom in the previous life could have such a grand event, was it only made possible by the lives and blood of martyrs?
Although he is a time traveler.
But he is just an ordinary doctor, completely unable to compare with those great men.
If you want to build a prosperous world without any one of them, it is simply impossible.
Fortunately, he has five thousand years of civilization and prophets in his mind.
You can build battle armor and combat equipment to arm your own army, thereby reducing sacrifices.
After a while, Zhao Ping let out a heavy breath.
The attentive Liu Mengru discovered that Zhao Ping was no longer cold, but had a sense of relief.
You should have figured it out.
Liu Mengru also breathed a sigh of relief.
After Zhao Ping's ideological guidance, Liu Mengru came to the conclusion that everything will be prosperous if the family is in harmony.
If she and Zhao Ping don't agree with each other, how can she lead others in the future? How to create a new country where everyone is equal in the Wei Dynasty?
Putting away his thoughts, Zhao Ping said: "What you said is right, you should celebrate when you win."
"If you have merit, you should be rewarded."
"I am too obsessed with life and death."
"From now on, I will take life and death lightly and do whatever I don't accept."
"Okay, that's a beautiful statement."
Xu Tianhua admired: "Mr. Zhao, I really wonder how you got such a brain? Why can you speak so well?"
"talent."
Zhao Ping let out a loud fart.
With a few simple words of ridicule, the gloomy mood caused by the situation of the wounded was swept away by him, and he returned to normalcy.
Not long after, the first wave of victorious "soldiers" came back.
It was the people of Heifeng Village headed by Zuo Zhigang.
Some were carrying them, some were supporting them, and some were limping on sticks, looking like defeated generals.
But everyone's faces were filled with excitement.
In particular, there were no other officers and soldiers in Xiping Village, which proved that the team led by Qi Liang had not returned yet.
In other words, they, Heifeng Village, won this bandit-suppression competition.
If you win, you will get money.
Mr. Zhao will reward each person with five taels, and Zuo Zhigang will reward each person with another five taels.
That's ten taels of silver.
Coupled with the scraps of silver collected from Crescent Moon Mountain, it would be enough for their family to live frugally in the future.
You can earn a lifetime of food by fighting in one battle. This is a very good deal.
"Mr. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, we will finally fulfill our mission and successfully annihilate the bandits in Crescent Moon Mountain."
Zuo Zhigang came to Zhao Ping and bowed down.
"good."
Zhao Ping nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, left deputy escort."
"The officers and soldiers led by Qi County officials from suppressing the bandits haven't returned yet, so I can't directly declare you the winner."
"So let's take a break for now. Let's treat the wounded first."
Zuo Zhigang naturally had no objection.
Most of the injured were his brothers from Heifeng Village. A few more died during this journey, and he hoped to be cured soon.
However, someone was more anxious than Zhao Ping.
Song Ming saw a large number of wounded people coming, and immediately ran over with the medicine box in his arms.
However, he did not search for the wounded in a targeted manner.
He didn't look for those who were seriously injured and dying, but looked for minor injuries.
Especially the kind that only received a cut or a slight scratch.
First check the wound, then take out the golden sore medicine from the medicine box, pour it on them, wrap it in linen, and go to treat the next one.
By the time Zhao Ping finished speaking those words, he had already saved four people.
Zhao Ping didn't care about him. He saved every one he could. At least Song Ming's help could reduce his burden.
Zhao Ping was looking for someone who was seriously injured and dying.
Wen Qi jumped out first, grabbed Zhao Ping's arm and asked him to treat Liu Jun, the sixth leader of Black Wind Village.
"Brother-in-law, please save my sixth brother quickly, he is dying."
Zhao Ping checked the situation.
There were multiple stab wounds and sword wounds on his body, which were densely packed with more than a dozen cuts. Some were still bleeding, and although some were not bleeding anymore, the flesh and blood were rolled up, which still looked very scary.
The most serious wound was the stab wound on his arm.
The entire arm was almost cut off, and the white bones could be seen from the wound.
And the bleeding wouldn't stop.
But there were no fatal injuries. The reason why he was unconscious was probably due to excessive blood loss.
Just when Zhao Ping was about to take action, Song Ming on the side spoke.
"Mr. Zhao, when treating the wounded, minor injuries should be treated first. It can save a life."
"As for those who are seriously injured, even if they are saved, they may not be able to be brought back. On the contrary, it will delay the treatment of minor injuries."
"I just saw that man's condition. It's out of control. It's better for him to prepare for his funeral as soon as possible."
