Compared with those who are alive and kicking, what is even more pitiful are the wounded soldiers.
He had many military exploits, but he was incomplete and reduced to a useless person.
In the General Medical Office, there are thousands of hospital beds packed to the brim. Whether they have minor injuries or serious injuries, everyone is worried about them.
In order to avoid affecting morale, the General Medical Office has always been neither far nor close to the military camp. After all, the wailing and low tone here have a great impact on ordinary people.
In the past few days, the merit examination department has been constantly patrolling the military camps and distributing rewards. Although fairness cannot be guaranteed, everyone has a share.
For a time, the whole city was celebrating joyfully.
However, distance cannot stop the spread of news.
"Xiao San, I only received ten acres of land today. In addition, each person also received a jar of wine. My brother brought it to you. Wouldn't it make you lame? It doesn't count."
"Goudan, if your waist is weak, don't be afraid. When I give birth to ten or eight children, I will adopt one for you to take care of in your old age..."
"Humans have two eyes. If one is missing, there is another one left. This is the pork that was just distributed today. I have replaced it with a pair of pig eyes. Which one you eat will make up for it!"
Visitors kept coming to the General Medical Office, and they showed off in a nonchalant manner, stabbing their wounds with knives.
For a moment, the atmosphere became even more gloomy.
Suddenly, it started to rain lightly, which made the patients extremely depressed.
"Kick, kick, kick—"
Suddenly, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard and could be clearly heard throughout the General Medical Office.
The chief medical officer had too much money, so he stood up hurriedly and looked out the window.
I saw hundreds of war horses coming in the rain. The knights were covered in bamboo hats and raincoats, looking majestic.
"Damn it!" Qian Taoduo was shocked, and his face changed suddenly: "On rainy days, the raincoat can't cover much, the horse will get sick!!!"
"Hurry and get a dry cloth, prepare a fire, hot water..."
Giving instructions step by step, he hurriedly walked out of the house and saw a big man, saying loudly: "His Royal Highness King Hanyang has arrived——"
Too much money makes my whole body tremble, he is too familiar.
"Your Majesty, there is too much money. I have seen His Highness!"
"You and I are old acquaintances, so there's no need to be too formal."
Zhu Yixi waved her hand and immediately dismounted. Seeing that Chubby had too much money, she couldn't help but said, "Boy, have you deducted horse food recently?"
"How dare you, my lord!" Qian Taitao said aggrievedly, "You know me. I have always loved horses as much as my sons. How could you do such a thing?"
"Hahaha!" Zhu Yixi shook his head and smiled, patted his shoulder, and walked straight into the ward without saying anything.
At this time, everyone knew that the King of Hanyang was here, and they kowtowed one after another. The patient also struggled to get up.
Zhu Yixi quickly sent someone to stop him.
"You have suffered many scars for the Ming Dynasty. I, Zhu Yixi, will never forget you."
As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and the guards behind him took out handfuls of land deeds with the names of the wounded soldiers written on them.
Basically, they are all within Wuchang Prefecture, with a land area of 30 acres.
The guards called their names and handed them out one by one. Everyone who took over had tears streaming down their faces.
If this were northern Shaanxi, thirty acres of land could only support oneself, but in the Huguang area, with two crops a year, it could almost support a small family.
"After your injuries are healed, you can go claim the fields."
Seeing everyone crying with joy, Zhu Yixi couldn't help but said loudly: "These are just some of my thoughts. In addition, there are ten taels of silver for expenditure."
"In addition, for those who are disabled and unable to continue fighting, I will arrange for them to go to prefectures and counties to serve as government servants or tax collectors."
Having said this, Zhu Yixi remembered that the Transshipment Department had been established, and these wounded soldiers were assigned to serve as tax collectors.
Who dares to act rashly against a tax collector with murderous intent?
After comforting all the wounded, Zhu Yixi gained a lot of loyalty.
Immediately, such remarks and actions spread throughout the military camps.
Morale then soared.
"The army is worthy of a battle!"
Zhu Yixi looked at the soldiers who were eager for war and couldn't help but declare loudly.
Isn't it just for this moment that he has been busy for so long?
Taking advantage of the high morale that had not subsided, Zhu Yixi immediately began to make arrangements.
So, on the first day of June, Chen Yongfu led 5,000 soldiers and 5,000 garrison soldiers and headed towards Nanyang.
Accompanying them were four red cannons and forty 500-pound French cannons.
The important task of guarding Nanyang was entrusted to him.
Immediately, You Shiwei went to Huangzhou Prefecture and took up residence in Jiujiang.
Zhao Shu was in charge of Xiangyang.
Zhu Yixi took a group of soldiers who were waiting for food and headed towards Jingzhou and Guizhou.
There, there was Zhang Xianzhong's 10,000-strong army, guarding the last leg.
"Your Highness, let me go!"
Hui Dengxiang is eager to try, and Scar's face is full of desire, eager to fight!
Liu Tingjie, Wang Guangen, Bai Wang and other generals were also busy asking for battle, and they all scrambled to the front, their faces turning red.
Not only the ordinary soldiers, but also the generals were deeply affected!
Of course, we can't blame them. It's really the old man, King Hanyang, who gave too much.
Li Jizu alone had almost ten thousand taels, which was much better than the shackles of the imperial court.
For example, Liu Tingjie, a military general for generations, occupied military fields all year round and had to support his servants, with at most seven or eight hundred taels left.
"No hurry, come one by one!"
Zhu Yixi is very high-spirited, and now his troops are strong and his horses are strong, and his soldiers are using their lives to defeat Zhang Xianzhong, a rookie. Isn't it easy to capture him!
"My firearms camp has been waiting for a long time."
Looking at the short and stout Guizhou City, it is not only not as steep as Xiangyang, but also not as tall as Wuchang. It is two feet high. It is no exaggeration to say that it can be climbed up with a ladder.
However, Zhu Yixi was unwilling to let him go easily.
"Bring up my cannon—"
Hula la.
Ten 1,000-pound French cannons, pushed by hundreds of people, slowly came forward.
The black muzzle was pointed at Guizhou City, looking extremely imposing.
"Although this thousand-pound French cannon is not as powerful as the red cannon, it is still very powerful. It is a sharp weapon whether it is for sieges or field battles."
The generals were dazzled and envious of such sharp weapons.
"Test the gun!!"
"Boom!!!"
After adjusting the distance and angle, fire again.
It can be described as a barrage of artillery fire and a bolt from the blue.
Compared with the red cannon, the French cannon has a faster rate of fire, faster heat dissipation, and is less likely to explode. In other words, it can fire continuously, causing a burst effect.
As a result, the entire Guizhou City was under such great pressure.
Two quarters of an hour later, Guizhou City could no longer bear it, and the city wall collapsed.
"Long live, long live——"
The troops cheered and shouted in unison, feeling happy from the bottom of their hearts.
"Attack——"
Pulling out his sword, Zhu Yixi pointed it at Guizhou City and laughed loudly: "I want Zhang Xianzhong to see what a real Ming army is."
"Woohoo——" The generals rode on their horses, surrounding Prince Zhu like stars, heading towards victory.
In the 17th year of Chongzhen, on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, the Qin army won its first battle.
