"West King, if the king blames us …" Vézé said slowly, looking at West King Xiao Chaogui in front of him.
In the military meeting not long ago, Hong Xiuquan made it clear that defending the city was their short-term strategy. As soon as the meeting ended, Xiao Chaogui sent Vézé out to fight Jiang Hua and Yongming, which was a bit too blatant.
When Xiao Chaogui saw Wei Ze say this, he laughed, "Brother Wei, logically speaking, I should be the one worried about the Heavenly King blaming me, but you went to fight Jiang Hua and Yong Ming to the death. How come you're the one persuading me? "
Vézé didn't know what to say. In the 21st century, discipline was the most basic element of all schools, enterprises, governments, and political parties. Whether something was right or wrong was a matter of ability, and there would always be someone who could bear the responsibility. However, when discipline was broken, few people dared to be sloppy. Of course, there were those who were sloppy. However, if an organization could be sloppy on such a big issue, it was not far from collapse.
Although Vézé thought about it, he would not really say it to West King Xiao Chaogui. After returning to this era, Vézé found himself out of place. It was not because of the language or living conditions, but because of the education Vézé received and the social environment he lived in.
Xiao Chaogui, the Prince of the West, had the right to ignore the system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, because he was possessed by Brother Heaven, which meant that the Holy Spirit of Jesus would come to Xiao Chaogui from time to time. Moreover, after Xiao Chaogui received the Holy Spirit of Jesus, he wrote a genealogy book for Jehovah. Hong Xiuquan was the second son of the Heavenly Father, Feng Yunshan was the third son, Yang Xiuqing was the fourth son, Wei Changhui was the fifth son, Yang Xiuqing's sworn sister, Yang Xuanjiao, was the sixth daughter of the Heavenly Father, Shi Dakai was the seventh son of the Heavenly Father, and Xiao Chaogui was the son-in-law of the Heavenly Father. Therefore, Hong Xiuquan called Xiao Chaogui his brother-in-law. Later, after Yang Xiuqing became the body of Yahweh, the Heavenly Father, in the human world, he was removed from the title of the Heavenly Father's fourth son.
Of course, Vézé could not simply give advice to such an important person. Therefore, Vézé smiled and said, "West King, I'm afraid of being scolded by the Heavenly King, so I'm trembling with fear. Since it is the West Prince's order, there is nothing for me to be afraid of. I will prepare tonight and leave tomorrow. "
Xiao Chaogui waved his hand and said, "I like Wayne Brothers's impulsive character very much, but Wayne Brothers, you don't have to be so anxious. To attack Jianghua and Yongming, we still need to advance by land and water. Wayne Brothers, why don't you go talk to Luo Dagang? "
Luo Dagang was the inspector who had taken the initiative to go south with Vézé during the meeting. Xiao Chaogui had his own ideas about the arrangement, and he had actually ignored Hong Xiuquan's ideas. However, Vézé did not think that there was anything wrong with this arrangement. Even if the Taiping Rebellion wanted to rest and reorganize in Daozhou, there was no need to let the Qing Army besiege Daozhou so comfortably. Vézé was quite dissatisfied with Hong Xiuquan's petty behavior.
After receiving Xiao Chaogui's order, Vézé acted without any scruples. He first went to look for Luo Dagang, and after the meeting, Luo Dagang went to arrange a camp for him. Vézé unexpectedly found Luo Dagang at the Shuinan Gate of Daozhou. The Shuinan Gate was quite far from Daozhou City. It was a critical point of transportation and also an important dock for the navy. If the Qing Army were to attack Daozhou from the south, they would definitely pass through here. It took a lot of courage to set up camp here.
Luo Dagang was one of the older members of the Taiping army. He was already over forty years old, and because he lived on the water all year round, his skin was dark. Seeing that Vézé had come to visit, Luo Dagang was actually very happy to receive Vézé. The two of them found an empty space by the Shuinan Gate to sit down and began to discuss the matter of going south.
When Vézé passed by Jianghua and Yongming, there were already Tian Di Hui rebels there. The Tian Di Hui brothers hoped that Vézé could stay and help them. At that time, Vézé's goal was to go north to Yongzhou, so he did not agree. He only recruited some Tian Di Hui brothers from Jianghua and Yongming.
"Big Brother Luo, this time I want to rendezvous with the Tian Di Hui brothers on the other side and attack the county together." Vézé revealed his entire plan.
"Wayne Brothers, you really have guts!" Luo Dagang laughed. "If it were me, I would definitely first contact the brothers on the other side and then send troops. Wayne Brothers, you, on the other hand, send troops and contact them at the same time."
Hearing Luo Dagang say this, Vézé was also quite helpless. Right now, the army's training had reached a stage where the brothers were rather intolerant of strict discipline. If they were to slowly train them, it would take quite a bit of time. Right now, what Vézé lacked the most was time, so he had no choice but to divert the internal conflicts from the outside and train the troops through a series of battles.
However, Luo Dagang's goal was not to ridicule Vézé. He thought for a moment and said, "If Wayne Brothers go south, you must contact me. I'm afraid I won't be able to send troops until five days later. "
Vézé replied, "That's good. I'll go first and wait for Luo Dagang to settle things here before meeting up with us."
After making contact, Vézé returned to the camp and summoned the commanders to announce the order to go south. At this time, there were only 1,800 soldiers left in the army, but except for a small number of teenagers, the soldiers were all young and strong. Because they had won several battles, everyone in Vézé's army was equipped with a flintlock and a long spear. The elite troops were also equipped with a single blade. In this era, China's army could be considered well-equipped.
Vézé was very confident in his troops. If the battle at Wujia Town was a dividing line, Vézé's troops now consisted of one veteran and one recruit. Even if it was calculated after breaking through Yongan, the sergeants in Vézé's troops were basically veterans who had received military training in the city for more than a month. With such a group of officers as the backbone, Vézé was very confident.
Now that many systems had been completed, there was still an important department that Vézé had not formally established, and that was the field hospital. One of the foundations of modern Western medicine was human anatomy. For doctors, if they did not even know the structure of the human body, how could they have a correct understanding of medical treatment? Medicine was a very scientific system. In Europe and America, dissection after an abnormal death was a common occurrence. But in China, the idea that the dead should be respected was deeply rooted. Murder might not be strongly criticized, but dissecting a corpse to study the cause and process of death was definitely a huge taboo.
It wasn't a problem for Wei Ze to teach his brothers how to read, write, and even teach them modern Chinese. The upper echelons of the Taiping Rebellion would not care about this. But if Vézé dared to start with human anatomy, he would definitely be regarded as a heretic. Although the idea of establishing a modern field hospital had been in his mind for a long time, Vézé could only start with gauze and bandages.
However, the scale of the army was getting larger and larger, and it was inevitable that there would be large-scale casualties. Therefore, Vézé called for a meeting and directly expressed his idea. "If a brother is shot, what should we do?"
"Dig out the lead," answered Wei Changrong. Everyone had the basic medical knowledge and practice.
"What should we do if a brother is shot in the chest or stomach?" Vézé continued to ask. There were brothers in the army who were injured like this. Because there was no better treatment, more than a dozen of them died in the end.
No one could answer this question. After a while, Vézé said, "I have an idea, but you must not spread it."
"What is it?" Asked Zhang Yingchen anxiously. The reconnaissance unit often encountered the enemy, and their death rate was much higher than ordinary troops. Among the soldiers who were shot, the reconnaissance unit accounted for 30% of the soldiers who died because there was no treatment.
"Every time a brother who is a military doctor finishes a battle, he will look for the corpse of Qing Yao who was shot to death by lead and cut open their wounds to see how Qing Yao died. Only after seeing it can we know what it looks like after being shot. Only when our brother is shot will we know how to treat him. "
What happened next was just as Vézé expected. After hearing this, everyone looked like they were in pain and remained silent. Logically speaking, this idea was not wrong. The group of people in the meeting had experienced a hail of bullets, and killing was not a problem for them. But even these guys who had killed more than a dozen people couldn't accept it, so Vézé could only stare at it like everyone else.
Seeing that no one was on Vézé's side, Wei Changrong finally spoke up. "The doctors are all under General Lin's command. Let General Lin handle this."
Because Wei Changrong couldn't go to Yang Xiuqing's place, his promotion to general fell through. However, the four brigade marshals under Vézé were all promoted to general. Lin Asheng, who was originally in charge of logistics, was now General Lin.
"Yes, yes! General Lin is in charge of this, let him handle it. " Zhang Yingchen immediately added fuel to the fire. After all, everyone was on the battlefield and lived a bloody life. With a good doctor, everyone's lives would be more secure.
Lin Asheng was not a talkative person. Even when everyone pushed this thorny task to him, he didn't jump up to refute. He just looked at Vézé. Vézé said, "General Lin, I'll leave this to you."
"I might not be able to find a brother like this," Lin Asheng replied.
"If you can't find one, you'll have to do it yourself!" Vézé put on a high-handed attitude. However, after saying this, Vézé also felt that he was bullying an honest person. If the other party was someone like Wei Changrong, no matter how Vézé forced Wei Changrong, he would not do it.
Lin Asheng was silent for a moment, then finally nodded and agreed.
Wei Ze heaved a sigh of relief when he told them about this matter and took a step forward. Next was the plan to attack Jiang Hua and Yongming.
"Everyone still remembers Zhou Fagui, right?"
"Is he the one who posted the hero invitations on Laitou Mountain?" Hu Chenghe replied.
