Chapter 126: The Sexy Girl in the Military

The sky gradually became brighter, and the sea water gradually changed from black to dark blue. A rising sun rose from the water surface, and suddenly sprinkled thousands of golden lights on the boundless sea water.

On the rippling Qinghai, dozens of large ships were sailing eastward through the wind. It was September, and the west wind was blowing on the sea, making their journey extremely smooth.

Another role of the soldiers of Jiangdu Camp was revealed. Many of them could drive ships, which allowed everyone to successfully leave Haixi by boat before the Tubo heavy army arrived.

Li Qing'an stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the sea silently. The Battle of Hehuang in the eighth year of Tianbao was a whole year ahead of schedule. History has changed. Can Geshuhan still end in a tragic victory? In the Battle of Hehuang in history, the ship did not play any role, but today, he was able to successfully send him through Qinghai.

"Qilang, what are you feeling again?" Li Fei Shouyu walked over and said with a smile.

"I was thinking that if we build a powerful fleet in Qinghai, then we will win some initiative in this Hehuang battle."

"Qilang's idea is indeed unexpected. I think it is feasible. You might as well make this suggestion to General Geshu. We still have four hundred soldiers in Jiangdu Camp."

When talking about the four hundred soldiers of Jiangdu camp, Li Qing'an's heart was tightened. Last night they entered Fuqi City and launched a street battle with the Tubo army. Although they finally wiped out the Tubo army and burned the food, they also paid a heavy price, with more than 300 casualties, of which more than 20 were slaves, more than 20 veterans of the scout camp were killed and injured, and nearly 100 were killed and injured by the Jiangdu army, and even Nan Jiyun was injured.

He asked quickly: "How are the injured soldiers now?"

"I'm here to find you, just for this matter, come with me."

Li Fei Shouyu brought Li Qing'an into the cabin. Almost every ship had wounded soldiers. Several military doctors kept rescuing each ship. There were twenty wounded soldiers on Li Qing'an's ship, all of whom were soldiers of the Jiangdu Army.

This ship is a grain transport ship, belonging to a Thousand Stone ship. It was made by Han slaves from Longyou. The cabin was wide and very dry. Twenty wounded soldiers were lying in the ship, and a military doctor was busy changing the medicine for them and cleaning the wounds.

Li Qingan suddenly discovered something that surprised him. Two female slaves who were rescued from Han were also helping the military doctor. One was Zhao Lu, and the other he remembered that his surname was Shi. They were very skillful in bandaging and comforting the wounded soldiers in a whisper.

A scene seemed to appear in Li Qing'an's mind. They should have been wearing white coats and nurses' hats, using sweet smiles and meticulous work to soothe the emotions of the wounded soldiers and save their lives.

‘Nurse!’ Li Qingan slapped his forehead hard. Why didn’t he expect it? In the era of cold weapons, most soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but on sickbeds, bleeding too much or wounds were infected. These were the two most deadly death laws in the era of cold weapons.

If he can improve medically, he will not know how many lives he can save, and nurses are the most critical part of it.

Most of these twenty unfortunate women are homeless. Why can't they keep them in the army and become assistants to military doctors and save more brothers' lives?

A painful moan interrupted Li Qing'an's thoughts. It was made by Nan Jiyun. Zhao Lu was bandaging the wound on his stomach. He was stabbed in the stomach by a Tubo soldier pretending to be dead.

Li Qingan hurriedly walked up and asked in a low voice: "How is he?"

Zhao Luniang's face turned slightly red and said, "General Nan's wound has become a little pustic. I'll bandage him, but it seems that there is no effect."

Nan Jiyun's face was pale in pain. He grabbed Zhao Lu's hand and gritted his teeth and said, "Please give me some fun!"

"General Nan, it's just a small wound. You won't be in trouble. You are still so young. You have to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. In the future, you will become a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. Marry the most beautiful wife. Be patient and I will just finish the medicine for you."

Zhao Lu comforted Nan Jiyun in whisper, and gently wiped the sweat from Leng Shawei and whispered to Li Qing'an: "He is hot all over, I want to wipe him and cool him down."

"Wait a mininute!"

Li Qingan gently lifted the gauze on Nan Jiyun's belly. The wound was not big, and the surroundings were red and some were purified. This should be a little infected. He glanced at the water in the copper basin on the ground. It was already very turbid. He immediately shook his head and said, "This is not OK. Follow my arrangements and immediately cook all the gauze scarves for a quarter of an hour. The gauze scarves are poisonous and they must be eliminated. Each gauze scarves can only be used once in the future. They must be clean. In addition, washing the wound with salt water is also for disinfection, and then bandaging them with medicine."

Li Qingan said a lot in one breath. He knew that the two women were too busy, so he found two soldiers to cook gauze.

Haixi is rich in salt, and there are a lot of edible salt from the Tubo army in this ship. After a while, Zhao Lu brought a basin of clear water. This was the fresh water in the boat. After boiling, it cooled. She took out a puddle of salt and was about to put it into the water. Li Qing'an quickly stopped her and said, "Don't put too much salt. Only two spoons of salt in this basin. After it dissolves, clean the wound for him, and then give him some light salt water."

Li Qing'an taught Zhao Lu some of the first aid knowledge in later generations one by one. Zhao Lu was very smart and could quickly learn from it. She smiled and said, "My uncle once said that if you are injured, you can wash the wound with white wine. If you really don't have the conditions, just use iron to burn it red and then brand it with him. It is also a way."

Li Qingan smiled, "It's OK to use white wine, but the soldering iron is not used. They will suffer from pain. The key to the wound is to apply medicine and bandage it in time. First, stop the bleeding as soon as possible, and second, do not let it infect poisons in the air. As long as these two are done well, their lives will be saved."

Zhao Lu became busy according to the method taught by Li Qing'an. Seeing that she was about to wipe Nan Jiyun's body, Li Qing'an left the cabin.

The wind direction on the sea surface turned into north wind, and the sails were beveled and walked very slowly. This was a canal transport ship sailing in the inland rivers of the Central Plains. It was more than 20 meters long, with three masts and sailed by wind power. The Tubo man-made ship industry was underdeveloped, so he caught shipbuilders from Longyou and built dozens of ships for them, mainly for transportation along the Qinghai coast. Unexpectedly, it was seized by Li Qing'an's Tang army.

Li Qing'an supported the strings of the ship, looking at the ripples draped out of the water. He had an idea that if the Tang army could form a Qinghai fleet, neither Chiling nor Dafeichuan would be an obstacle to the Tang army.

"Qiro, I didn't expect these women to be very useful. With them here, many of the wounded soldiers' emotions have stabilized."

Li Fei Shouyu felt very moved, shook his head and smiled, "Before leaving, there were people complaining that these women were burdens, and now they are more important than anyone else."

Li Qingan smiled slightly, "I want to keep them all in the army and become female guards, who are responsible for taking care of the wounded. What do you think?"

‘Female guard!’

This is a word that Li Fei Shouyu had never heard before. He thought about it and said, "I also think they are good to stay, but I'm worried that the court may not agree."

"You don't have to worry about this. They are all women. People in the court will only think about another aspect. Besides, our Anxi Army is not as taboo as the mainland army. I will tell Gao Shuai that he can see the role of these female guards with his own eyes. Gao Shuai is a pragmatic person and he will agree."

"I support you. Anyway, Qilang is already a military commander of the army, and he becomes an independent army. Except for Gao Zheng, no one can interfere with you."

At this time, a slight footsteps came from behind them, "General Li, he is already asleep."

Zhao Lu appeared behind them and whispered to Li Qing'an, "I wiped his body, and then cleaned his wounds according to the method you taught him, and applied the medicine to the wound. He is now calm and his body is not as hot as before."

Li Qing'an was overjoyed, Nan Jiyun was safe, and he saved another general. Li Fei Shouyu hurriedly said, "I'll go and see Nan Ba!"

He walked quickly towards the cabin, and Li Qing'an felt grateful. He looked at the capable girl carefully, as if she had just met her. She was not pretty. Her simple robe tightly wrapped around her once tortured, sixteen-year-old girl's body. Her hair was cut short and tied into a bun, with a yellow wild chrysanthemum on it. In order to take care of the wounded, she cut off her sleeves and exposed a dark and rough arm. Her long-term plateau life and work made her skin very dark, but compared with the dull and unconsciousness she had just been rescued, her skin had already reflected a healthy luster. Her eyes were so quiet and full of yearning for a new life.

Seeing Li Qing'an looking at him with bright eyes, a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes and her head drooped, "General, I'm going to take care of other wounded people."

"Wait a minute, I'll ask you something."

Li Qing'an pondered for a moment and asked, "Lu Niang, are you willing to stay in the army?"

Zhao Lu was stunned. She took a step back in horror. Seeing that she had misunderstood, Li Qingan quickly explained: "What I mean is that our army needs female military doctors to care for the wounded and save their lives. I found that you women take care of the wounded and have an irreplaceable role that men can do. With you here, most of my brothers can survive. Lu Niang, I want you to stay and become the first female guard of the Tang Dynasty."

"General, you just want us to join the army, right?" Zhao Lu confirmed carefully.

Li Qingan smiled and nodded, "Just joining the army. Of course, if you want, you can still marry the soldier you like in the future."

A blush appeared on Zhao Lu's face. She twisted her fingers and lowered her head and whispered: "Actually, we don't know what to do in the future? Our family was destroyed and we were once a Tubo people."

She suddenly raised her head, her eyes became extremely bright, and a glimmer of joy accompanied her bright eyes and white teeth, and her face was filled with dazzling luster. She nodded heavily: "General, I am willing to stay, and I think the sisters are willing to stay."

An hour later, Zhao Lu's busyness ended. She found Li Qing'an, gently stroked her hair, and smiled: "General, the other sisters are helping to take care of the wounded on various boats. I want to tell them all the methods the general taught me."

"good!"

Li Qing'an immediately ordered several soldiers: "Tell me the order and let all the women concentrate on one boat!"

The flag verb was typing, and the ship slowly moved closer and boarded the bridge. Zhao Lu and another woman swayed onto a big boat in the middle. Soon, the women from other boats also came over and the women gathered together. Zhao Lu began to tell them all the common sense of first aid that Li Qing'an taught her, and told them that Li Qing'an hoped that they would stay and become female guards and take care of the wounded soldiers. These homeless women all said that their lives were saved by the Tang army and they were willing to stay and become members of the Tang army.
