After the fierce offensive on the second day of March, the Qing army retreated. The siege was solved, but the Qing army's cavalry brigade was still rampant on the island. During this period, Lang Deng sent Ye Bushou, who was assisting the town behind the suppression, to investigate.

There were also many damages. We had no choice but to continue to hold on to the city and give up the plan of monitoring the Qing army's actions.

Chen Kai gave up contact, but soon the people who flocked to him continued to send news about the Qing army to his case. According to the people's descriptions, the Qing army looted villages and towns all over the island. Basically, they were not

Those who were reluctant to leave home, but faced the butcher's knife of the Qing army, had no choice but to come and take refuge. They regretted not listening to Chen Kai's order to take refuge in advance.

Why did the Qing army behave? Chen Kai didn't find anything surprising when he heard this description. The armies of this era, whether in the East or the West, were almost equal in sending troops and plundering. This time the Qing army raided

At the Zhongzuo Institute, Ma Degong and Feng Junrui heard that he had killed Zheng Zhiwan and insisted on holding on to the city, so they rushed over, but they were badly wounded. They could not satisfy their desire to plunder, but instead lost troops and generals, and there was resentment in the army.

Deeply depressed and with low morale, he did not dare to attack by force again, so he had to retreat and resort to the next best thing, plundering the unarmed people to satisfy the desires of his officers and soldiers.

This was not a good thing, but for a while Chen Kai had nothing to do. Not only Lan Deng, but also Zeng Ying, Lu Ruoteng, Shen Quanqi and others did not make any suggestions to go out of the city to attack the Qing army, because they knew very well that the defenders could only stay at night.

Without the protection of the city wall, the Qing army relied on the weakened reinforcements and patrols to suppress the back towns and patrols.

Daobiao camp is basically a place where you go out to die.

Since there was nothing he could do, Chen Kai simply put more energy into the city. After the Qing army retreated, Chen Kai began to send people out of the city to clean the battlefield and recollect the usable guards and weapons abandoned by the Qing army.

, Lang Deng also sent soldiers to collect the heads of Qing troops so that they could record their merits.

Merit rewards will not be distributed for the time being, but the rewards for defending the city promised by Chen Kai were distributed in public after the Qing army was confirmed to retreat. Even though it aroused cheers from the Ming army, even the morale dropped after the bitter battle.

The low tide period has been quickly recovered.

However, for several days, Chen Kai spent time in the injury ward. The laborers he hired from Lu Ruoteng received simple training and began to work officially. Their work was not difficult. They cleaned up garbage, swept and kept the environment tidy.

As well as caring for the wounded, they don't even need to do much at all. As long as they can comfort and say a few auspicious words, and always pay attention to the injury of the wounded, and can remind those doctors who have treatment experience and ability, they can

That's enough.

This kind of work is not difficult. It is much easier than carrying guards and repairing city walls. It is just a little dirty. However, Chen Kai's order was given and they had no choice but to obey it.

A few days later, when I returned to the injury ward, the scene was very different. The civilian workers were divided into several shifts, and every ward in the injury ward was attended to by someone around the clock. The garbage was quickly cleaned up, and the bandages that had been replaced were also specially taken care of.

Soak in boiling water, clean, and use again. The overall environmental atmosphere has changed, the disease has received greater attention, and the mortality rate has begun to decrease. It is a pity that these people have only received emergency training and emergency treatment of injuries.

Still have to rely on those with experience.

"Being an angel with a lantern is not that easy. It still requires more professional training."

If you want to make a difference in anything, you need more preparation and foundation, even if it seems to be a simple thing. In a hurry, that's all you can do. Chen Kai understands this truth and naturally You will not be too demanding, whether it is forcing it on others or on yourself.

However, Chen Kai's efforts made Shen Quanqi quite interested. In this regard, Chen Kai only talked about how people's hearts will be more fragile when they are injured and sick, and they need care from others. Day and night care can be better. Monitoring the development of the disease as well as a clean environment and medical equipment can prevent injuries and infections. Chen Kai has not thought about these in a systematic way, but Shen Quanqi sounds very serious and even found a piece of paper to write it down. , whenever I have free time these days, I am observing and pondering the details of nursing, as if I am obsessed with it.

He is happy to see such a situation come to fruition. It is unrealistic for one person to conquer the whole world. If he can inspire such professionals, many things will develop in a better direction.

The amount of grain in stock in the city is astonishing, and most of it was accumulated when Zheng Cai occupied Zhongzuo. God knows how that guy did it during the grain shortage in Fujian, but now that Chen Kai is cheaper, the city is not afraid of the grain shortage. problem. However, a few days later, Chen Kai, who thought that the Qing army would evacuate on its own after a few days of looting, received news from someone sent by Lang Deng, saying that a small force of the Qing army was once again approaching the city.

After a few days of separation, the Qing army once again approached the city, but its strength was very small. Chen Kai hurried to the city. Outside the range of the Ming army's artillery, there was only a group of Qing army cavalry, probably about ten cavalry. It's not much more than the night of the town after the reinforcements. At this moment, the riders are roaring in and out of the city. If you look closely, one of the riders is actually holding the reins while each is tying up a man with a rope. , leading behind the horse like a dog.

The Qing army came to show off their power. Chen Kai frowned deeply, then picked up the telescope and looked far into the distance. When he could roughly see the general appearance of the man being led, he was suddenly shocked.

This man, Chen Kai, has some impression that he is a distant brother of the Zheng family, the same generation as Zheng Chenggong. We had visited him earlier, and Chen Kai also paid a visit. His family seems to live near Jiangtou in the middle of Xiamen Island. Chen Kai called for it earlier The people went into the mountains and into the sea to avoid the Qing army, but at that time it was estimated that there would definitely be a large number of people unable to leave their hometown. However, the Qing army appeared here so unexpectedly and brought such a person over, so he almost didn't have to go. If you think about it, you can guess its purpose.

"Help, help me, I am Zheng..."

As if to confirm Chen Kai's guess, the Qing army deliberately led the man a hundred meters outside the city, laughed loudly at Chen Kai and the Ming army defending the city, and compared them to shrinking turtles. Even the Zheng family The children of Zheng Chenggong did not care about them, and they would be killed when Zheng Chenggong came back.

The ridicule of the Qing army had no effect on Chen Kai, but Lang Deng and Zhou Quanbin seemed to be a little embarrassed. I don't know if it was really the case or if they were deliberately pretending. But no matter what, he didn't intend to fall into this. He sternly ordered everyone not to leave the city to fight with the Qing army without his permission.

As if they had expected that the Ming army would not move out easily, the Qing army led the Zheng family member back to the group of Qing army cavalry. Next, the Qing army cavalry galloped wildly, and the Zheng family member struggled to catch up.

How could he catch up with the speed of the war horse? When he fell to the ground, he was allowed to be dragged by the Qing cavalry on the uneven ground.
