"Kill!"
"Capture them."
"Don't move."
"Treat the wounded. Quick, alcohol. Prepare to suture. Bite the wooden stick."
"There's no wooden stick. I'll give you some grass. Bite it."
The cavalry chased after them while the infantry collected the captives and treated the wounded.
"Save me. I've lost a lot of blood. The wound is big. I'll die if you don't save me," a captive with a big wound on his leg begged.
"Then go to hell. I'll give you a quick death." The Non-commissioned Officer of the Tang dynasty was about to raise his knife.
"Save him, quick. Ask Li Dongzhu if he wants the captive and sell him to Li Dongzhu."
A squad leader came over, glanced at the captive's wound, and ordered treatment.
"Save him, save him immediately." When the person in charge of saving the captive heard that he could be sold for money, he quickly found something for the captive to bite and began to wipe the wound with alcohol.
Then, he wiped the needle and thread. He wiped his hand with an alcohol cotton ball and stitched the wound as if he was sewing a mattress.
The captive trembled in pain and sweated profusely. His fingers dug into the soil.
"Quick, bring the saline bottle. Our brother's intestines are out and need to be cleaned. I'll suture it and see if he can survive."
An Non-commissioned Officer shouted. A soldier of the Tang dynasty had his stomach cut open and his intestines flowed out.
Basically, he should be dead. It was useless to stuff it back in.
However, the team had brought something with them. They had filtered salt with yellow mud many times and mixed it with normal saline by themselves.
Without distilled water, they steamed it directly. They took a big porcelain bottle and steamed it as if they were making canned food. They steamed it together with the stopper and quickly stuffed it in.
Whether the method taught by Li Yi was effective or not … depended on fate.
There was no guarantee of death. If they used it, they might survive.
They washed it, stuffed it back in, rinsed it, and sutured it. They left a small opening for drainage. When they returned, they would insert a steamed straw, reed tube, or goose feather tube.
Then, they would drink medicine. If they survived, they would be lucky. If they didn't, they would be compensated.
As for other external injuries, it was not guaranteed that they would not be infected. But even if they were infected, they could continue to wipe it with alcohol when they saw pus and blood.
For example, the captive's intestines were another treatment. They heated a pot at the side and added salt based on their feelings.
When the water was warm, they covered the captive's intestines, sucked, and sutured.
The other captives were dumbfounded. Was this how the Military forces of the Tang Dynasty treated their injuries? How did he sew up such a big wound?
What kind of cloth was wrapped around the outside? It looked very clean.
Some people were groaning in pain, so they poured some warm water and some medicinal powder into their mouths. After a while, they stopped groaning. Good medicine!
In fact, there were not many wounded soldiers of the Tang dynasty who groaned. In the past, when they were injured, they groaned because they thought they were going to die.
Now that he believed that he could survive, he gritted his teeth and persevered. If he really couldn't, he would drink some anesthetic.
One by one, soft stretchers made of folded canvas unfolded, placing the wounded and dead Tang dynasty soldiers who could not move on them.
The dead Tujue had the captives dig holes and bury them.
Others were chasing after them, so the team with the injured should rush back first. Only when they returned could they receive better medical treatment.
Zhang Xiaosong led his men to pursue and kill Su Lu's Tujue Shi, which lasted all the way until nightfall before they finally returned.
The Jiedushi's men once again cleaned up the battlefield and brought back a large number of captives, horses, military equipment, and injured soldiers.
Zhang Xiaosong did not return. He lit a fire and set up a pot. Everyone ate a meal of cooked horse meat, restocked their supplies, and stayed in the area.
Early the next morning, he led his men and set off again. This time, they were going to fight Tubo. Tubo was delayed. He, who was used to long-distance raids, felt that he still had a chance.
He was a forgotten man. After fighting Aduoda, he was still a patrol officer. He did not have any patrol officers, but he did not do much work.
When he fought Aduoda, he organized more than 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers.
Now he was leading elite cavalry. He felt that it was not worth it for him to go back and fight another one.
Therefore, in history, it was clearly a war where both sides won and lost, but in the end, he defeated and annihilated the enemy.
The Jiedushi wrote a battle report and sent it to Chang 'an. He felt that he had made a great contribution.
…
In Chang 'an, Li Yi was mobilizing resources to assist the frontline. He still did not know what the people who were not captured by him had done.
The people who dug the canal had been transferred over. The prisoners on death row and those who were going to be exiled were in charge of the most dangerous work.
The others were thinking about their salaries and were happy.
After building a ship, they immediately loaded it with things and transported it to the source of the Wei River. Then, they transported it to the Yellow River by land.
"You spent a lot of money this time. How do you want compensation?" Li Chengqi finished arranging the shipbuilding and ship modification and ran to the Li Family Zhuangzi.
The 500,000 yuan that Li Yi left in Shu was gone. Shu had used a lot of manpower and material resources.
He would only stop when he had spent the five hundred thousand yuan.
At that time, the imperial court would be able to connect with the transportation from the Yellow River.
Obviously, Li Yi had paid a lot of money to mobilize resources from Shu and other places.
If it were someone else …
If it were someone else, they would not have so much money. They would not have given tens of thousands of yuan.
Li Yi sat there and thought for a while. Then, he shook his head and said, "It's meaningless. If I want money, it's nothing more than money from the imperial court.
If I want land, it's too far away. I can't take care of it. If the capital government gives me land, I will still do it for the benefit of the people. "
Li Yi could not think of what he wanted. He only felt that expanding the territory of the Tang dynasty gave him a sense of achievement.
The soldiers risked their lives, and he paid for it. Between countries, it was not as if others would not hit you just because you did not hit them.
Take the Abbasid Caliphate for example. If you don't believe in their religion, they will hit you until you believe in them.
The Abbasid Caliphate on land was easy to fight. It would be easy to fight in the future.
The most difficult thing was to trade with other countries.
When the big fleet comes out …
As Li Yi thought about it, his thoughts drifted to other things. He didn't even consider the actual compensation he would receive.
"Brother Yi, Brother Yi!" Li Chengqi had no choice but to call Li Yi back to reality.
"Ah? Tax exemption? Continue to be tax exempt. When the tax money is equal to the money I took out, I will pay the tax again. I have my own accounts. "
Li Yi casually said. He had many things that were exempt from tax.
The bicycle and the business in the south of the city, the production of the place where the surrendered families were settled, and the advertisements in the newspapers.
He might as well exempt them all and save the money himself.
"Good, tax exemption is good." Li Chengqi also felt that it was a good idea. Although the Li Family Zhuangzi was exempt from tax, they still had to pay a lot of taxes in other areas.
However, it was likely that Bi Gou was having a hard time. Their financial income had decreased once again.
It was equivalent to the Tang dynasty's imperial court paying the soldiers at the border in installments. The advantage was that there was no interest.
"After this year's cotton harvest, we still have to make a lot of military blankets and military coats. During winter, the source of the Yellow River is very cold."
Li Yi talked about the arrangements after occupying Jiuqu. Jiuqu could be reclaimed this year for grazing.
That place was most suitable for developing animal husbandry. It was not suitable for industry, and the third industry … was not available.
The people of the Tang dynasty would not go there to play, even if the scenery was beautiful.
The more animals there were, the more beef and mutton the people of the Tang dynasty could eat.
If it was the cattle, they could slowly come back. It was equivalent to the people buying farm vehicles at a cheaper price.
Raising cattle was cheaper than raising horses. Ordinary people could not afford to raise horses.
