Chapter 303 Condolences to the Wounded Soldiers

In Huai'an, Liu Hansan had already headed south with his counter-insurgency troops, and Wu Changqing had not left for the time being.

Before leaving, he planned to go to the wounded barracks to offer condolences and buy the hearts of the soldiers. For him, the morale of the army is more important than the heart of the people.

As long as the army supports him, the regime will be stable, and the people's hearts can be slowly gained.

Wu Changqing and several senior generals went to the wounded barracks. Before anyone arrived, they heard some mourning sounds from a distance.

This is also the most common feature of the wounded barracks. There are not so many painkillers in this era, and the pain can only be endured by the soldiers themselves.

"There were nearly 2,000 seriously injured people in this war, and the other minor injuries have returned to the team after simple treatment, and the beds have been vacated for the seriously injured.

The nurse's center founded by the general made a great contribution this time, treating a large number of wounded soldiers. Those female nurses were quite attentive, and many wounded soldiers who were originally resentful had restrained their anger even more in front of them. "

Lu Yourong from the logistics department introduced the situation of the wounded barracks along the way.

"Have those female nurses ever been offended?"

Wu Changqing asked.

"There is no such situation reported yet. Those injured soldiers have great respect for these female nurses who treat themselves. In addition, I repeatedly emphasized discipline to those soldiers, but no one dared to make trouble."

Lu Yourong said.

A group of people entered the wounded barracks, and what caught their eyes were strips of white cloth that were drying.

These blood-stained, used white cloths are not thrown away after one use, and they are not so luxurious. They would wash the bloodcloth, boil it to sterilize it, and then dry it before reusing it.

Outside the tent sat some wounded soldiers with broken hands and feet. These people belonged to the lightly wounded among the seriously wounded soldiers and hoped to fully recover.

Some people with broken arms wanted to salute when they saw Wu Changqing and the others. Wu Changqing waved his hand to avoid the ceremony.

"How is your injury recovery? What do you usually eat?"

Wu Changqing asked.

"Returning to the general, the recovery is very good. I feel that I will be able to return to the battlefield in the future. The food is better than what I had during the war. There is meat every day, and it is said that the general ordered it. Eat more meat, you can recover from injuries faster."

One of the more courageous soldiers responded excitedly. For these wounded soldiers who can fully recover, being injured is not necessarily a bad thing.

First, you can write down a 'hard work', and you can eat delicious food every day.

"That's good, rest assured."

Wu Changqing patted the soldier on the shoulder, and then entered the tent with the others to visit the other seriously wounded.

This slap made the soldier almost burst into tears with excitement. This is the encouragement from the highest general, and other people have no such opportunity.

When he returns to his hometown in the future, this is enough for him to brag for a lifetime.

When the other wounded soldiers saw this scene, they were indeed envious and half-dead, regretting that they didn't answer.

Entering the tent, the atmosphere is much more solemn than outside, there is less laughter, and some are just mourning and low-pitched weeping.

Soldiers lying in hospital beds are basically unable to fully recover and will be left permanently disabled in the future. Some people even can't make it through.

Apart from those screams, there were more soft consolation sounds in the tent than the wounded barracks of other armies.

In addition to treating the wounds of the wounded soldiers, the female nurses also worked as a part-time confidant to encourage and comfort the wounded soldiers.

Psychotherapy is sometimes more effective than medication. People who are in a good mood and open their eyes will speed up the recovery of their bodies.

When the female nurses saw Wu Changqing and were about to salute, Wu Changqing hurriedly said, "Forget it, you don't need to stick to etiquette during working hours."

After speaking, he came to a soldier who sawed his calf.

The soldier, originally a cavalryman, fell off his horse and was trampled on his leg, causing comminuted fractures and extensive tissue necrosis.

They don't have a good way to deal with this kind of injury now, they can only saw off that calf.

The efficacy of the military anesthetic is not strong enough, and the soldier was in pain during the operation. And that kind of bloody scene directly made a female nurse faint.

After seeing these wounded soldiers, those female nurses felt the cruelty of war.

After the calf was sawed off, the soldier's life was saved, but he will need to use crutches to walk in the future, which will seriously affect his life.

"What's your name and how did you get hurt?"

Wu Changqing asked.

"General Zhi, the youngest is Zeng Aniu. When he killed the enemy, he used too much force. The saber stabbed into the enemy's body and could not be pulled out. Then he took himself off the horse."

Zeng Anniu quickly put away his previous depression and forced himself to reply.

Wu Changqing was speechless when he heard the words. This was regarded as Zeng Aniu's poor academic skills. When the cavalry fights, they are all slashing with knives, how can they use stabs?

However, Wu Changqing did not express this emotion, but said with concern: "You are very brave and worthy of praise. Don't worry, you are injured for me, and I will pay for your support for the rest of your life."

"Thank you, General."

Zeng Aniu burst into tears as he spoke.

"Have you married a wife yet?" Wu Changqing continued to ask.

"No, I don't dare to marry like this, for fear of delaying and imposing others."

Zeng Aniu continued to cry. As a man, he has never tasted a woman, which is one of the biggest regrets in life.

"What's the point of it, go get married, if no one is willing to marry

, I will go outside the customs, go to Mongolia, and go to Dongying to grab some women back. I promise, as long as it is my soldiers, no matter how seriously injured, I will make sure that they have a woman. "

Wu Changqing said.

For the Chinese nation, he will also talk about human rights and respect women's choices.

However, in order to make up for these soldiers, he didn't mind being a robber once, to snatch some women from the Eastern Regions, or women from the Western Regions, as a benefit to the soldiers who followed him to conquer the world.

Zeng Aniu and the other wounded soldiers were shocked when they heard the words, and immediately became grateful.

They have never met a general who treats his subordinates like Wu Changqing. If it wasn't for each of them being injured and unable to get up, I am afraid that at this time everyone would have kneeled on the ground and kowtowed to thank them.

After condolences to Zeng Aniu, Wu Changqing also condolences to several other soldiers at random.

Finally, he gave a short speech in front of everyone. The content is nothing more than conveying a message that as long as you follow yourself, you will not abandon them.

This is enough, no other general can make such a level of assurance as Wu Changqing. With this guarantee alone, those soldiers would devote their allegiance to him.

Of course, what Wu Changqing did was actually done for other healthy soldiers.

Those soldiers who can still fight learn about the deeds here, and they will definitely fight harder in the future, and they will support him more.
