Chapter Seventy-Two: The Master

It is said that human life on the battlefield is as cheap as a dog, and Chen Mu feels that the surviving soldiers are not as good as dogs.

The victorious banner army did not have much joy, there was only silence on the battlefield full of corpses, the ears were filled with faint gasps, and the banner army was full of strength in front of him.

They won.

Since a stray bullet fired from Chen Mu's array knocked the enemy leader off his horse, the battle has become a one-sided slaughter, and the two sides have suffered a short stalemate and battle, the rebels have suffered up to 200 casualties, and can enter the pursuit stage, and in the end their capture is more than 500.

Chen Mu did not lie in the pile of bones like the tired flag army, and walked on the battlefield with a knife with an open mouth, mending the knife to the rebels on the ground who knew at a glance that they could not be saved, so as to reduce their suffering.

As for those cowards who were slightly injured or pretended to be dead, they were tied up by Fu Yuan in the back with the banner army, and handed over to Shangguan Bai Yuanjie together with the captives who surrendered.

They have their own fate, no matter what, the war is over after all, and Chen Mu doesn't want to kill anymore when it's over.

If someone else kills, that's just someone else's business.

In the distance, Wei Balang jumped up and ran over with a kettle, still holding a spear in his hand, and the long saber hanging from his waist clanked, and he tripped over something, and scolded, "Oh, stupid!" "A fierce man planted himself in the pile of corpses, and after a while he got up and kicked his feet on the ground in a huff, and ran back again.

After a while, he jumped over happily and held the kettle in front of Chen Mu, "General flag, drink water!" ”

"Hmm." Chen Mu took the kettle, raised his head and poured a few sips, handed the water bladder to Hachiro again, and then said: "Take care of your flag army in the next battle, don't always think about losing your subordinates and rushing forward." ”

Wei Balang's face was full of unconvinced, holding his thin backbone, and he was eager to try from head to toe, "I can hack them to death, stab them to death!" ”

This kid inherited the Ming army's fanatical yearning for the first level of merit, and because of Chen Mu's appearance, he abandoned the cowardice of the Wei Army, and he wanted to go first in every battle, but as soon as he rushed out in every battle, he was thrown to the back of his ass by Chen Mu with the back of his neck.

This made Chen Mu can't help but sigh, if the Ming army is like Wei Balang, maintain high morale and fearless mentality, and live like a newborn puppy running around on the battlefield, and he has to carry a knife to do it when he drills people's cracks.

It's a pity that only this stupid kid is so fanatical, even Chen Mu thinks Wei Balang is like a little fool.

Little arms and legs, who can you beat!

Chen Mu smiled, didn't take Hachiro's words seriously at all, patted the dead child's brain, and said impatiently: "Go and call Shiqi, the casualties have not been calculated yet." ”

"Hey!"

Wei Balang ran in response, and his activity was not at all like in the ancient battlefield where corpses were strewn, but as if he was in Qingyuanwei and asked him to run an errand.

Seeing his cheerful back jumping happily in the sea of corpses and bones, Chen Mu suddenly didn't want Wei Balang to be a military household.

"Fu Yuan, you can't read either, do you?"

Chen Mu suddenly remembered, turned his head and said something to Fu Yuan, who was lying in the pile of corpses and turning his waist, scaring this timid gambler enough, and trembling in response: "Ah, hey, General Banner, the lowly position is a broken military household, how can there be such a great creation and literacy." Oh, these people are rich! ”

Fu Yuan weighed the waist bag in his hand and handed it to Chen Mu, and said with a smile: "General Banner, the broken silver is almost thirty taels, and the copper coins are even more, where did these stupid hangers rob and get so much money?" ”

"If you want to be literate, wait until you go back to Qingcheng Chen to ask you for a teacher." Chen took the money bag and tossed it in his hand, "Do you know how much it costs to hire a teacher?" ”

The teacher is divided into a teacher and a scripture teacher, and this matter was told to him by Bai Yuanjie when he asked Chen Mu to take the martial arts examination.

The so-called Mengshi is a teacher who enlightens children, and a scripture teacher is a teacher who teaches students the imperial examination.

The importance varies, the knowledge required, and the price varies.

"Meng, Mengshi?" Fu Yuan hung his head and paused, then raised his head and asked, "General Banner, please ask the reader for a lot of money, so let Shiqi teach." ”

"Shiqi teaches you, who will lead the troops to Chen?" Chen shook his head and rejected Fu Yuan's suggestion, weighed the money bag in his hand, and said, "Is so much enough?" You will lead troops in the future, and you will not be able to read and write. ”

In fact, letting Fu Yuan and them be literate is incidental, Chen Mu's main purpose is to make Wei Balang literate and reasonable, like a boy scout death squad all day long, and put his life on the battlefield sooner or later.

Qingyuanwei has a health school, in the Ming Dynasty, each guard has an official Confucianism of the guard, but for a long time the Wei commander has been controlled between several surnames, and the cost of the guard is quite huge, and it has gradually become a school dedicated to the health officer, such as the Qingyuan Wei eighty health posts are also occupied by the children of the commander and other big officers.

Chen Mu was still enlightened in Weixue when he was a child, but today's Xiaoqi Zongqi is obviously not qualified to enter Weixue.

If you want to improve the talents of the trustworthy people around you, you can only find another way.

Like military spending, if you can't allocate it, you will raise it yourself!

Fu Yuan didn't say anything, but just took the flag army to rummage in the corpse pile more energetically, Chen Mu was idle, picked up the kettle and asked Qi Zhengyan to help him carry it and wash his face, and pat some water on the wing of his nose.

The bloody breath penetrated into his nostrils, making him suspect that his sense of smell was as bad as Lou Qimai.

"You go and tell Bai Qianhu that these corpses should be burned and buried as soon as possible, and if they can't be burned, they will be thrown into a mountain col where no one is around, and they can't be left here." Chen Mu frowned, and assigned a banner soldier to say, "If it's hot, there will be a plague." ”

The flag army took the order and left, Chen Mu knew that Bai Yuanjie would take his words seriously, after all, there were traces of the way the Ming army handled the corpses in the Battle of Xinjiang.

The first level took away the merits, and some of the corpses of friendly soldiers were taken away and properly placed, and some of the corpses of friendly soldiers were dug and stacked neatly and buried on the spot if they could not be taken away; As for the handling of the enemy army, it should be sloppy - the head of the owl will be remembered, and the body will be buried in a mess.

The difference is that the Battle of Shinjiang was a riverside and woodland that no one walked, while the Battle of Muroyama was a narrow but traffic valley avenue, which was intended for passers-by in the future, and it was easy to breed plague if not handled properly.

Shaozhou Mansion is not far from Qing, and Chen Mu is worried that once the plague spreads, it will not be able to control it.

It didn't take long for the banner army sent to inform Bai Yuanjie of this matter before he returned, Wei Balang had already brought Shi Qi with a sad face, Shi Qi, who was full of armor, pinched a brush and drew on the book, and said to Chen Mu: "General Banner, the flag army has not suffered many casualties, and Xiang Yong has died a lot - they cut off their heads on the battlefield and are too greedy." ”

Chen Mu took the booklet and glanced at it cursoryly, nodded to indicate that he understood, looked up and saw Shi Qi's face embarrassed, and asked, "What, is there anything else?" ”

"Ah, yes. The people of Heyuan who were rescued and entrapped, their village sages must personally visit you and thank the general banner. Shi Qi knew that Chen Mu was worried about these useless matters, but he could only say with a sad face: "That village sage has a reputation for raising people, and he doesn't dare to stop him." ”
