In fact, a few months ago, Luo Zhixue had already begun to mess with the military medical system when he was still working as a military advisor.
After all, Luo Zhixue, as the military advisor at that time, was directly in charge of the entire camp's affairs, and naturally he was also in charge of the medicine and other matters in the camp.
It's just that Luo Zhixue is not a doctor after all. All he has is some basic medical common sense for future generations. When it comes to the battlefield medical system, all Luo Zhixue can think of is wound cleaning, suturing, disinfection, etc. The most basic Something.
The only doctor in the Baoxiang camp was a half-baked doctor who was recruited from a village in the mountains. This half-baked doctor could only prescribe some common prescriptions for typhoid fever. As for more professional things, he couldn't understand them...
Luo Zhixue found this half-hearted doctor because he knew a little bit.
In fact, the treatment of wounded soldiers in the Baoxiang camp was a process that Luo Zhixue personally worked on.
Luo Zhi didn't know how to treat diseases, but he still had basic medical knowledge. The so-called treatment of wounded soldiers under his guidance was limited to ordinary trauma. He ordered the doctor to clean the wounds, dirt, clothes and other debris. Avoid debris left in the wound causing infection.
When cleaning, if the soldier is not afraid of pain or has fainted, clean the wound directly with soju. If you cannot clean the wound with soju, use cold water that has been boiled, sealed and well preserved. Do not just use raw water to clean the wound. .
If the wound is too large, it must be sutured with a sewing needle that has been disinfected with soju and a thread. Avoid contact with water for subsequent wounds and maintain hygiene. Disinfect with soju on a daily basis to avoid subsequent infection.
This whole set of things is actually very simple. It was handled purely by Luo Zhixue based on his own common sense. The focus was on controlling wound infection. For this reason, Luo Zhixue had previously purchased a lot of high-concentration soju from outside the mountain. After further refining, a soju of unknown degree was obtained to disinfect wounds...
But these are only limited to some common and relatively minor injuries. If the injury is more serious, it will only depend on whether God will give him face.
The number of casualties in the Baoxiang camp during this battle totaled to dozens in the past few days. Most of them were set by the Ming army's bows and arrows, and their injuries ranged from serious to minor. However, there were more wounded soldiers on the Ming army side.
How many people can be saved in the end is still unknown.
Luo Zhixue could only talk about human affairs.
It took several hours to clean the battlefield, and it was already afternoon by the time the basic cleaning and inventory were completed.
At this time, Luo Zhixue and the main generals in the Baoxiang camp gathered together.
Luo Zhixue sat alone at the top, and in front of him were a total of ten chairs on the left and right sides. The first person on the left was the cavalry sentry officer Wang Xiazi, followed closely by the cavalry sentry deputy. Sentinel An Yongduo, captain of the first cavalry team Zhao Hongshu, captain of the second cavalry team Ding Chuwu, and captain of the third cavalry team Ma Dapao, a total of five cavalry generals.
First on the right is Lin Dongsheng, the commander of the right army, followed by Wang Dazhuang, the commander of the Chinese army, and Xu He, the commander of the left army. Next is Huang Chengyong, the captain of the first team of the supply battalion who is acting as the commander of the supply battalion. He still belongs to the supply battalion in name, but In fact, Zhang Malin, the captain of the artillery team, had already been under the personal command of Luo Zhixue.
At this time, most of them were quietly listening to the report of Huang Chengyong, who was originally assigned by Luo Zhixue to clean the battlefield.
"We captured a lot in this battle, not only a large amount of ordnance but also a lot of food, mules and horses!"
"We seized thirty-four armors alone, including six sets of high-quality iron armor, and the rest were ordinary cloth armors or pure cotton armors."
"There are four hundred and seventy-six knives. Among them, there are probably 130 good-quality knives that are intact, 260 second-class knives that are intact, and the rest are damaged."
"There are three hundred and fifty spears, of which two hundred and twenty are intact and usable. The rest have damaged spearheads or damaged spear shafts."
"There are eighty-three sets of bows, only thirteen riding bows, and the rest are all foot bows."
"There are also a number of miscellaneous pointed wooden sticks and hoes."
"As for the guns and artillery that you ordered, General, we also got a hundred-pound light cannon that the officers and soldiers had snatched back. We also recovered fifty-three blunderbuss, as well as a batch of gunpowder, bullets, and cannonballs. "
"The grain seized is not much, but it is enough for a thousand people to consume for half a month."
"In addition, seven rideable war horses, fifty-three draft mules and horses, and twenty-one small two-wheeled carriages were also seized."
"In addition, there are dozens of tents and a lot of other miscellaneous items."
As Huang Chengyong finished speaking, everyone present couldn't help but look happy.
Although they knew that the seizure this time would be very large, they still showed joy when they heard that so many things had been seized, especially after so many ordnances had been seized.
Luo Zhixue also had a smile on his face: "It seems that this time the officers and soldiers worked as baggage officers for us for a while. Knowing that we were short of ordnance and food, they specially sent us a batch!"
Hearing Luo Zhixue's words, everyone present couldn't help laughing loudly, and the blind one-eyed dragon king even said: "No, the road into the mountain is so difficult, and they even sent us big and small bags. They are all good people!"
Hearing Blind Wang say that the officers and soldiers were good people, everyone laughed again!
After bursting into laughter, An Yongduo said: "Very good, with this batch of seizures, we will have much less pressure in the future. Not only can we replace and supplement the existing ministries, but the ordnance used for the future expansion of the army will also be available! "
Luo Zhixue nodded slightly after hearing this. What An Yongduo said is right. Now that they have such a large batch of seizures, they can not only replenish the existing Baoxiang soldiers for use, but also have a lot more for subsequent use. Used for military expansion.
He immediately said: "Now that a lot of weapons have been seized, I will ask the weapons workshop to focus on the production of 500-jin long cannons and bird guns in addition to repairing damaged weapons."
With that said, Luo Zhixue glanced at everyone and continued: "In this battle, our artillery was very powerful, and we will need more artillery in the future!"
"The artillery team was meritorious in this battle. After that, the artillery team was separated from the supply camp and separately organized into an artillery sentry, with Zhang Malin as the sentry officer."
When Luo Zhixue said this, Zhang Malin, the captain of the artillery team, stood up and said with a happy face: "Thank you, General, for your support. I will definitely serve the General to the death in my humble position!"
At this time, Luo Zhixue turned his attention to Zhang Malin: "Now the artillery post can be regarded as having five guns. Although they are all light guns, they are enough to provide medium fire support to various ministries. The artillery team cannot relax. We must redouble our training to cultivate more usable gunners, and there are still long guns waiting for the gunners."
Zhang Malin immediately stood up and bowed and said: "Don't worry, General. I will practice twice as much in my humble position, and I will definitely not delay the installation of the long artillery."
Luo Zhixue nodded slightly and motioned for Zhang Malin to sit down.
Now they have two 200-jin light artillery plus the three captured 100-jin light artillery. The total of five light artillery is actually enough to provide the Baoxiang camp with 50 to 150 meters, that is, the medium and near range. Fire support from a distance.
What is lacking now is long-barreled artillery of the five to six hundred kilogram level, capable of firing three to four hundred meters away.
Although Blacksmith Song has not made the artillery yet, Blacksmith Song is already leading his men to cast it, and once it is completed, there will be two 600-pound long cannons. According to Blacksmith Song, they will be finished within the next month at most. It can be used.
Therefore, gunner training is urgent.
After Zhang Malin sat down, Luo Zhixue turned his attention to the four infantry chiefs Lin Dongsheng, Wang Dazhuang, Xu He and Huang Chengyong.
After glancing around, he said: "Our Baoxiang camp has just been established now. It has cavalry and artillery, but there are some shortcomings. However, the names of the various departments are still a bit confusing. We are different from the bandits and don't mess up the names. That's the way it is, so I'm thinking about how the three armies of the left, center, right and the supply battalion each have a hundred soldiers, and they can be organized into one sentry each. What do you think?"
Luo Zhixue had just finished speaking. Huang Chengyong, the acting transport camp officer, had not yet stood up. Lin Dongsheng, the commander of the right army, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "The general is right. We are different from those bandits. Even if we are If you want to play rebellion, you have to play it seriously, and this title should be more formal."
Luo Zhixue glanced at Lin Dongsheng, with a smile on his face and a slight nod.
Then Wang Dazhuang and Xu He also stood up and said yes.
Not to mention Huang Chengyong, this person is Luo Zhixue's direct confidant who was promoted from a soldier, so he naturally has no objections.
After everyone finished speaking, Luo Zhixue said: "In this case, from now on, the right army will be changed to the first sentry, the middle army will be changed to the second sentry, the left army will be changed to the third sentry, and the supply camp will be the fourth sentry. The four of you will continue to serve as sentry posts. official."
The reorganization of the three armies and one battalion into a sentry is actually just a change of name. The strength of the troops has not changed, and the positioning has not changed. Even the artillery team has become an independent artillery sentry. In fact, it has no impact, because the artillery team has only been nominally affiliated with the supply camp. But it was directly under the command of Luo Zhixue.
So after some changes, of course I don’t have any objections.
But after everyone thought that it was over, Luo Zhixue continued: "This time we seized a batch of muskets, and there were quite a lot of them. They could just be matched with some spearmen to form a new sentry, so each of the four sentry posts Two people will be transferred to form the new fifth sentry, mainly composed of spearmen and musketeers!"
"The original battle losses of each unit and the vacancies that occurred after the transfer will be supplemented by people selected from prisoners of war. The soldiers among the officers and soldiers are still good."
Hearing Luo Zhixue's words, everyone was a little surprised. It was not an accidental recruitment of Ming soldiers and prisoners. They had known about it for a long time and had a conclusion. What surprised them was that Luo Zhixue gathered the musketeers and paired them with spearmen. Get up and form a sentry directly.
This arrangement is a bit strange to them!
They were not surprised that there were a large number of spearmen in the fifth post. This was normal. There were also many spearmen in the other four posts.
But isn’t it a bit unreliable to have so many musketeers as the main force?
Wouldn't it be enough to just have a few of these things, so that one sentry can bring in dozens of musketeers and be used like that?
