The World of Yellow Sky

Xu An pointed to the bamboo slips and asked, "Who is the lecturer of this medical department?"

Zhao Le quickly replied: "My lord, the lecturer of the medical department is the thirteen most outstanding doctors selected by Yan Junshi from Shangdang County as lecturers. In the battle of Kuicheng, not many wounded soldiers in the army recovered. , Yan Junshi is not very optimistic about the medical workers in the army."

Xu An frowned slightly. In this era, the recovery rate of soldiers after injury is really low.

The painful groans and desperate cries of the wounded lingered in the wounded barracks all day long. Xu An had crawled out of the wounded barracks before, so he naturally knew the despair of being in the wounded barracks.

After the Battle of Kuicheng, a large number of wounded soldiers died. All these wounded soldiers have experienced battles. As long as they can survive, they can become the backbone of the Yellow Turban Army, but most of them are crying and suffering. Died a tragic death in the wounded barracks.

Xu An frowned tightly, just now he seemed to remember something, it was an article he had read long ago in later life.

In addition to the discovery of penicillin, it seems that there is another method that can greatly reduce the casualty rate of soldiers, and it can be done in this era.

But at the critical moment, Xu An couldn't think of anything.

Xu An suddenly got up, but surprised Zhao Le who was kneeling beside him.

A maid in the hall who was carefully wiping the lampshade caught Xu An's attention.

Seeing the maid gently wiping the lampshade, Xu An's mind finally remembered. He thought of the clean and disinfectant-smelling hospital in later generations, and the nurses walking in the corridors.

In the Crimean War that broke out in 1853, rifled rifles, telegraphs and railways changed the form of warfare, and humans slaughtered each other with unprecedented efficiency.

A large number of wounded poured into field hospitals, but poor care made the death rate of wounded soldiers reach an astonishing 42%.

An outstanding woman bid farewell to the excellent living conditions in the UK, raised her own funds, recruited volunteers, and went to the battlefield across half of Europe to carry out nursing work, reducing this terrifying number to 2.2.

And this outstanding woman is the originator of modern nursing, Ms. Nightingale with a lamp shining on the world.

Xu An's eyes gradually brightened. He sat back on the table again, spread out the bamboo slips on the desk, held a writing brush, and slowly wrote down the knowledge about disinfection and nursing in his memory on the bamboo slips. .

Living in the era of knowledge explosion in later generations, although Xu An is not a nurse, he has learned some simple hygiene knowledge and epidemic prevention methods.

Compared with these doctors in the Han Dynasty who don't even know the basics of biology, he naturally knows more.

In one go, Xu An almost wrote down everything he knew, and the desk in front of him was already full of bamboo slips.

Chapter 174 One after another

The private soldiers of the gentry tyrants in Shangdang County were almost lost in the Battle of Changping, and they were powerless to resist the Yellow Turban Army.

The sense of oppression brought to them by the Yellow Turban Army in the eldest son city was too strong, and they did not dare to resist at all.

Those Yellow Turban soldiers who followed them all the way back from the eldest son city were specially selected elite soldiers when dispatched by Xu An, and there were many yellow angels accompanying them.

Therefore, when the Yellow Turban Army wanted to take away part of the land of these powerful gentry, after a moment of stalemate, it did not cause any turmoil, and the Yellow Turban Army took it all back.

After all, they also knew that if they resisted, they might not only lose a piece of land, but even the whole family would be implicated. No one is stupid. They had expected this result when they chose to go to the eldest son city to meet Xu An.

It's just that when it really happened, there was still pain in my heart like a piece of flesh was cut from my body by a sharp knife.

The Yellow Turban Army's expropriation of land in Shangdang County, as well as money and food, went very smoothly, and they hardly encountered too many obstacles.

A large amount of money and food was loaded onto the frame by the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army and transported continuously to the eldest son city.

Therefore, the residents of the eldest son city can see the gate of the eldest son city for a long time, and the official roads are covered with cloth strips and full of money and grain.

Since Zhang Yan and Xu Huang took away more than 1 sergeants, and the Yellow Turban Army stationed at Bachi Mountain was divided into more than [-] people, the Yellow Turban Army in the hinterland was slightly scarce.

Everywhere needed manpower and rest. Xu An mobilized more than 600 soldiers from various passes and rushed to Shangdang County.

If the soldiers are used to transport money and food, the strength of the army is somewhat stretched, so Xu An ordered that some civilians be recruited from various places to transport the carriages for the Yellow Turban Army, and even provide a certain amount of wages every day.

At first, the common people couldn’t believe what the Yellow Turban Army Fu Zhu said next to the notice. They just thought that the Yellow Turban Army wanted to deceive people into joining the army and Taoism, because the Yellow Turban Army recruited civilians and actually gave back money, food and lodging.

However, after some brave people came back after receiving the money, more people joined the troops that delivered money and food to the Yellow Turban Army.

After the autumn harvest in previous years, there are still various kinds of labor waiting for them. Not only do they not get a penny of wages, but some even need to bring their own food.

Including Yan Zhong, who was also a county magistrate, was also very puzzled. He believed that the recruitment of these civilian husbands could be done directly through labor service, and there was no need to give money and food.

Although Xu An had learned about hard labor in later generations, considering that the Yellow Turban Army was too seriously demonized by the Han Dynasty, it was hard to change this period of time.

Some worried that the recruitment of civilian husbands would reduce the evaluation of the Yellow Turban Army among the people of Shangdang County and affect the subsequent missionary expansion, so they chose to send money and food.

Now Xu An's Yellow Turban Army has benefited from the old capital of Shangdang County, as well as the grain and grass donated by the gentry. It is not very short, on the contrary, it is very full, and Xu An even needs to build a new granary to store it.

As for money and the like, in fact, it doesn't take much money to recruit civilians, and it's just a drop in the bucket to snatch it from those gentry tyrants.

Moreover, there is basically no salary in Xu An's army at present, only the equipment, status, and food of the officers are slightly better, which saves a lot of expenses.

However, Xu An also knew that it was impossible for the army to never give him a salary. Before, because of the threat of death, everyone didn't care, but after the power began to expand, these details would surface one by one.

Just like he occupied Shangdang County now, one problem after another came one after another.

Xu An seems to be powerful now, but in fact his foundation is extremely shallow. The structure of internal affairs and military levels are all extremely simple and simple, just like floating duckweed.

And all of this has to be planned by Xu An, and Yan Zhong is the only one who can help him.

However, Yan Zhong only provided suggestions on internal affairs. Yan Zhong was familiar with military affairs, formation of troops, marching and fighting, but Yan Zhong had no choice but to talk about military training, which he had never learned about.

Xu An didn't know much about military training, most of the later generations learned about it from the Internet, and there was also some military training knowledge.

However, after the training of the infantry drill code written by Xu An indiscriminately.

The current Yellow Turban Army also has the demeanor of a strong army. The neat steps and movements almost feel like a single person, which makes people feel daunting.

There are even rumors that spreading beans into soldiers in the market is orderly, convincing and convincing.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why these soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army look so rigid and act uniformly.

However, if it weren't for the fact that these soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army are no different from ordinary people, and they often help some people to do what they can, it may be counterproductive, making the people of Shangdang County think that their souls have been taken away by some sorcery.

Xu An was stunned for a while when he heard this rumor for the first time. Although he asked the scouts to release some rumors about the Yellow Turban Army and the Taiping Dao, the news had nothing to do with him.

But this is also a good thing, and it will make the people feel more awe of the Yellow Turban Army. The Han army's spies will report back such news, which will further damage the morale of the Han army.

The art of war in the Taiping Jing can be said to be the master of the Yin-Yang family of soldiers. The fake ghosts and gods are used as helpers, and now Xu Antong has read it by heart.

Now in the army of the Yellow Turban Army, in addition to the team leader, each team also has a Fu Zhu alchemist who preaches teachings on weekdays to boost morale during battles.

The power given to believers by religion is enormous, which also greatly strengthens the resilience and combat power of the Yellow Turban Army, and even if it collapses, it can quickly gather again.

Now, after a long period of preaching, all the soldiers directly under Xu An's command have joined the Taiping Dao and become believers of the Taiping Dao.

Xu An also ordered people to cast several huge war drums, which depicted Huang Tian, ​​Lao Tzu, Huang Di and other gods of the Taiping Dao on them.

The sound of Huang Tian's war drum was far better than ordinary war drums, and under the beating of the yellow scarf wrestlers, the sound was even more like thunder.

In addition to the high platforms used by the generals and school commanders during the battle, they will also build high platforms for Fu Zhu in the formation, preaching with practices and boosting morale.

During the Battle of Jinyang, Xu An used this method. Before the Yellow Turban Army went out to battle, they would stand devoutly under the high platform, waiting for Fu Zhu to preach and cast spells on them.

They believed that Huang Tian would give them the strength and courage to fight, even if they died in battle, their souls would return to Huang Tian and enter the beautiful world of Huang Tian that Fu Zhu described.

Xu An never said that after casting spells and preaching, he would be invulnerable and invincible.

Saying this kind of thing is simply asking for death. As long as someone is injured or killed, it can be proved that what he said is nothing more than a lie.

At present, the craftsmen in Shangdang County have been assembled by Xu An's order. Not counting as ordinary weapons, Xu An is also planning to create a face armor equipment for his subordinates.

Those vicious masks often achieve unexpected effects in night battles or assault battles, and even make the opponent's soldiers think that they are fighting ghosts and gods, and feel terrified in their hearts.

Chapter 175 Military System

The current military establishment of Xu An's Yellow Turban Army and the original Yellow Turban Army have begun to show differences.

At present, the Yellow Turban Army under Xu An's command is composed of ten men, one corporal leader and one tenor.

During training on weekdays, the marching corps leader has no soldiers directly under him, but only exists as the deputy of the chief.

During the battle, all the soldiers in Shinei followed the flag and moved. When Shichang was killed in battle, the rank corporal took down the flag to take over his position and continued to lead the sergeants in battle.

Wushi is a team, with one team leader, five personal guards, and one standard bearer, a total of 57 people.

If the team leader dies in battle, the head of the rank will take over.

The two teams form one village, with one village head, one personal guard, a total of ten people, and two standard bearers, a total of 127 people.

Wutun is a song, with one military marquis, two false military marquises, 20 personal guards, a total of 659 people, and three standard bearers, a total of [-] people.

The five songs are divided into one, with one Sima in the army, two Sima in the army, 50 personal guards, and five standard bearers, a total of 3352 people.

In addition, each team has a talisman, leading the guards, a total of five people, explaining the Taiping Dao scriptures and military regulations to the soldiers in the team on weekdays, and also serving as a military judge.

There is one Fuzhu for each song, and ten personal guards, who are in charge of the Fu Zhu of a song, and also serve as the chief officer of the military judge of a song.

Each department has a chief Zhu, 50 personal guards, manages all the Fuzhu, and concurrently serves as the chief officer of a military judge.

So now the Yellow Turban Army under Xu An's command has 3708 people in each department.

But in fact, most of the parts are not fully compiled. Zhang Yan and Xu Huang each brought two troops to Taiyue and Wangwu before. In fact, the total number of soldiers under the two generals was just over 1. two thousand people.

If it is full, in fact, Zhang Yan and Xu Huang should each take 7416 people to the expedition.

But in fact, it is rare to have a full manpower. Currently, there are few officials in the Yellow Turban Army, the lack of soldiers in each department, and the lack of military equipment and other issues can not be resolved in time. This is also an important reason for the lack of full manpower.

Although military pawns and elite battalions give priority to resources, they are limited to armaments and the quality of soldiers, and they are still under-staffed.

Now in Shangdang County, there are only four uncompiled trilogy, with a total of more than [-] people. After they are distributed to the cities of Shangdang County, they seem a little rare.

Although the gentry tyrants in the county seem to be honest now, a part of the army should be allocated to deter them and prevent them from secretly having bad ideas.

The terrain in Shangdang County is quite complicated, and the high mountains and long rivers also breed some bandits. Although the Yellow Turban Army wiped out some of them, those bandits would not dare to provoke the Yellow Turban Army easily.

However, the Yellow Turban Army still needs to allocate a part of the soldiers to guard against some unexpected situations. After all, there is no guarantee that some people who are dazed will not appear among these thieves.

This further restrained the strength of the Yellow Turban Army, which was why Xu An wanted to recruit civilian husbands in the county to help deliver money and food.

However, through this incident, the scout's report also let Xu An hear some good news. The matter of using money and food to recruit civilians had the same effect as before Shang Yang's reform.

Although the decree of Shang Yang's reform in the Warring States Period was ready, it was not announced.

He was worried that the people would not believe him, so he erected a long log outside the south gate of the capital market.A notice was posted saying: Someone who can move it to the north gate of the market will be rewarded with ten gold.

The people in the capital felt strange at first, and no one dared to move it.Later, Shang Yang issued a notice saying: Someone who can move it to the north gate of the market will be rewarded with fifty gold.

A man had the courage to move the wood to the north gate of the market, and Shang Yang immediately ordered him to give him fifty gold, which quickly won the trust of the people in the country.

Xu An recruited civilian husbands in the county, and the salary stated in the notice did not differ from the actual wages. Even the daily wages were not in arrears.

After those folk husbands received their wages and returned home, they also spread the matter. The changes in the county were obvious to all.

Although the imperial court has seriously demonized the Yellow Turban Army, for more than a month, what the people in the county have seen in their eyes is completely opposite.

In the notices of the Yellow Turban Army's propaganda, there is no false statement, and there is no change in the order.

The Yellow Turban Army took over the entire city, and rarely disturbed the people. Sometimes the soldiers accidentally damaged some people's property, and the Yellow Turban Army's amulet would come to compensate.

In the past, those knight-errants who ran rampant in the market, dudes, powerful domestic slaves who lived in the countryside, and thieves and bandits now dare not easily provoke the Yellow Turban Army for fear that the Yellow Turban Army will wipe them out.

A few days ago, the Yellow Turban Army took the Li family, the Zhang family in Xiangyuan, and the Yang family in Gaodu into custody.

Xu An personally went to the three places to supervise the execution, read through the crimes of the three families collected by the scouts of the Yellow Turban Army before the execution platform, and asked some common people who had been bullied by the three powerful families to come to the stage to state their crimes.

In the end, under the fury of the crowd, all three tyrants were beheaded.

The vengeance was avenged, and the common people who had been oppressed on weekdays all clapped their hands and applauded. They were even more grateful to the Yellow Turban Army, and even wanted to donate the few remaining belongings to the Yellow Turban Army.

Some people even asked the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army about Xu An's name, and wanted to set up a magic card for Xu An at home.

As a result, when Fu Zhu of the Yellow Turban Army preached and lectured in these three places, the open space around the high platform was surrounded by water, and there were no empty seats.

All kinds of news from the thirteen cities in Shangdang County were quickly sent to the eldest son city, the government office where Xu An was located.

Although Yan Zhong shared the responsibility, it still made Xu An feel strenuous.

Xu An sat on the mat and looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, suddenly there were a few slight knocks on the door, and then the wooden door was slowly opened by Xu An's personal guards.

Zhao Le's slightly bloated body squeezed into the room from the door, and he slowly walked into the room with a small pile of bamboo slips.

"My lord, the affairs of Tunliu City."

Xu An looked up at Zhao Le, and waved his hand casually: "Let's put it here."

Xu An casually pointed to a place. The desk in front of him was already piled up with various pieces of armor, the news of damaged weapons requiring repairs and replacements, and the news of missing soldiers applying for replacements.

Next to it are news of thieves and bandits from all over the place, as well as some compensation, and news of the arrest of thieves in the city, all piled up together.

In the past, only the eight hundred miles of Taihang Mountain had the help of Yan Zhong. Xu An could still focus on the army and strategy. The number of troops is also in the majority, which is easy to manage.

"My lord, there is one more thing." Zhao Le put down the bamboo slip in his hand and continued, "General Liu has arrived outside the government office."

"Is Liu Pi here?"
